Chapter 300 Coping
"I ordered the troops to gather in Chenying within three days."
"The light cavalry led by Li Bi is responsible for harassing the Chu army and allowing free operations."
The next day, Chen Ying, who had recovered his peace, Meng Tian was in charge of the county magistrate's office and began to dispatch troops.
The army under Li Xin's command is not weak in combat, but Meng Tian is not familiar with this army, so he will definitely not be able to get it if he takes it rashly to fight Xiang Yan.
According to the Qin military law, Meng Tian temporarily took over the military power of this army.
But in the army, it is not just the power that can successfully command these rebellious soldiers, let alone the army in the feudal era.
Meng Tian knew that he was still young and his qualifications were not enough to completely convince the public. Among the Qin army, only Wang Jian and Meng Wu went to any army and the generals under his command could not have a temper.
As a junior, Meng Tian was not afraid of those commanding generals in his forties or fifties, but it was not possible for people to accept their heads and worship them in a short time.
"The report to Xianyang must be sent to send a capable and flexible person. The Marshalls must be delivered as fast as possible."
Meng Tian put away the brush, wrote the last word on the bamboo slip, sealed the seal, and handed it in Jing Su's hands.
"Don't worry, General, I know what to do."
Jing Su took the bamboo slips and looked cold. The Qin army at this moment was not as relaxed as Meng Tian showed.
The Qin State's 200,000 troops attacked Chu, and the troops were divided into two groups. The two armies had never practiced coordinated operations. Meng Tian did not hide the news of the death of the chief general Li Xin and immediately notified the Qin army in Chen.
The messenger sent by Meng Tian put the responsibility of Li Xin's death on Xiong Qi. With Li Xin's personal soldiers as testifying, the people hated by the Qin army naturally replaced them with the Chu people opposite.
The Qin army was filled with hatred, but the blow of Li Xin's death still affected the morale of the Qin army.
"How much food and food can Chen Ying have at present?"
Seeing that Meng Tian was calm and issued military orders in an orderly manner, the mood of the generals quickly stabilized.
"The Ruishi Camp led by Man Qiang immediately occupied Chen Ying's arsenal and granary, and is still light. The civil servants sent back the news that it would be enough to provide the consumption of the 200,000 army for a year."
Meng Bao worked hard to get used to the role of personal soldiers.
As the chief general, he not only needs to protect the chief general's safety, but also needs to moderately play the role of the steward of the central army camp.
"A year of food and food supply is enough for our army to confront the Chu army."
Meng Tian thought about it and felt very peaceful.
Xiong Qi was in a hurry to escape. When he escaped, he did not have time to destroy the arsenals and granaries in the city.
The scattered soldiers and yelling soldiers sent were not opponents of the Ruishi camp led by the strong man.
Xiong Qi was talented in governance, but his military strategy was insufficient.
After Chen Ying's rebellion, Meng Tian gave Xiong Qi an evaluation in his heart. Such a person is suitable to follow a decisive person like Ying Zheng to make a career, but if he is allowed to lead the army and make decisions alone, he will always end up with a terrible end.
"Is there any news about Xiong Qi?"
Meng Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Xiong Qi chose his own path and needed to take responsibility for his choice.
"Among Xiong Qi's disciples, some of them are good at escaping at night and lead Xiong Qi out of the city. Now they should go to the direction of Chu."
Speaking of this, Meng Bao couldn't help but show a clear look of pity on her face. The soldiers sent out last night almost caught up with Xiong Qi, but the terrain was not familiar, so Xiong Qi was escaped.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Actually, I don't have the idea of catching Xiong Qi."
Seeing Meng Bao pausing her head and sighing, Meng Tian waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Why is this?"
"Isn't Xiong Qi going to Chu State now?"
Meng Tian hurried to the direction of the Nuchu State and smiled mysteriously.
Xiong Qi and Ying Zheng have known each other for many years. They demoted Xiong Qi to a local official only because of disagreement in politics. The arrest of Xiong Qi and sent him back to Xianyang may make Ying Zheng embarrassed.
After being the left prime minister for many years, Xiong Qi certainly has his own connections. The current queen is the sister of Xiong Qi, who has different mothers. These people come forward to plead for Xiong Qi, and Ying Zheng has the possibility of pardoning Xiong Qi.
In history, Zhao Gao committed a death row and the Tingwei Mansion was sentenced to death. Ying Zheng could still get an amnesty.
Now Xiong Qi has gone to Chu State, stayed with the Chu army, completely rebelled against Qin State, and died on the battlefield in the future, no one will stand up and say anything.
"General, Captain Huang Ji comes to report!"
At midnight, the city was running in an orderly manner. Huang Ji, who was covered in blood and had a little tired expression, rushed to the county magistrate's mansion where Meng Tian was stationed.
"Thank you for your hard work in Captain Huang, I'll see you."
Meng Tian stood up and comforted the capable general who had been busy all night.
"I have cleaned up all the generals, the rich clans who colluded with Xiong Qi in the city, and the spies who secretly interacted with Chu State."
Huang Ji tried hard to lift his chest, and this was the time to show his heart.
Since joining the army, Huang Ji has experienced such high-intensity combat. He didn't have much blood on his body, but considering that he had to meet the leader, he deliberately applied some.
I have to say that Huang Ji's method left a rare good impression on people. Which general doesn't like his generals, and they all fight bloody battles and fight to the death.
"I will first settle the country when fighting against foreign countries. I will calculate your military merits for these spies you killed."
Meng Tian comforted Huang Ji with kind words. After listening to his report, he ordered someone to take him down to rest.
When Luo Jia, Meng Hu and others lead their troops to come, there will be no shortage of manpower in the city.
Looking at Huang Ji's departure back, Meng Tian couldn't help but chuckled and shook her head.
Huang Ji has a calm personality and a smart mind, but he still uses some tricks to please his boss.
Maybe this is the habit he left when he was a soldier.
After the military order was issued, Meng Tian left the county magistrate's office and led a team of personal soldiers to inspect along Chen Ying's streets.
Meng Tian has always been the best at cavalry attacks, but this time, Meng Tian made up his mind and decided to do the opposite.
When conquering Zhao State, Wang Jian's army restrained most of the Zhao army, and Zhao State was empty. After Meng Tian led his army to break through the Zhao army's defense line, he could be as if he had reached a state of no one.
Yan Ju, the general guarding Qu Liang, thought that he was unparalleled in military affairs and lacked practical experience. He led his troops out of the city to fight recklessly, and completely opened the northern gate of Handan.
The situation of the Qin army attacking Chu this time was very different. Without a large army to restrain Xiang Yan, Meng Tian had to face the 400,000 troops of Chu himself.
Li Mu of Zhao and Xiang Yan of Chu were the only two famous generals who could cause trouble to the Qin army in the late Warring States Period.
Meng Tian secretly collected Xiang Yan's information and knew that Xiang Yan had been in a military life, so he should not be underestimated. His two sons are also among the people and are worthy of being the pillars of the Chu army.
Meng Tian patrolled Chen Yingcheng along the street, looking at the Chu flavor that could be seen everywhere in the city, and had a secret idea in his mind.
"With the Chu army coming to attack Chen County, it may be possible to cut off the old Chu complex in the hearts of Qiancheng in Chendi District..."
