Chapter 64: The Final Combination (2)
"Will the Chu army sneak attack Wuguan?"
Meng Tian was also a little confused when he received the news from someone sent by Li Yuan.
Qin and Chu had just decided to marry each other, and after Ying Zheng added the title, they officially married the princess of Chu. Moreover, the Chu army had just been defeated last year. Meng Tian originally thought that as long as Qin did not take the initiative to attack Chu, there should be no war on the southern front of Qin.
In the Warring States Period, countries attacked each other, and their agreements were thinner than paper. There was no invention of paper in this era, and it could only be said to be thinner than silk cloth.
It is normal for countries to break promises and betray each other.
Meng Tian was not a prophet. He didn't know that Zhao and Chu had reached a secret alliance and were ready to join forces to attack Qin. Even if the intelligence agencies in the central Qin State obtained some information, they could not be transmitted to the Nanyang garrison in a short period of time.
"I didn't expect that it was Li Yuan who gave Qin Jun information!"
Meng Tian has seen the dark side of political struggle. In order to maximize his own interests, he can even sell out national interests. In terms of political struggle, he can be regarded as a decisive person.
"Tell me, what's Li Yuan's idea?"
Meng Tian quickly summoned his own staff team. No matter how capable the superiors are, they should give their subordinates a chance to perform.
"Last year, Qin Chu repaired it, and the credit fell on Li Yuan. Li Yuan wanted to show that he did not have the intention to be an enemy of Qin." Gan Luo was the youngest and spoke first.
Over the past year, Meng Tian has been in charge of Wancheng, Bu Xing, Gan Luo, followed Ren Gu and others to various places in Nanyang to rectify unjust, false and wrong cases, fight against local tyrants, and divide the land, and seems to have become more and more steady.
"After the Qin army dragged this Chu army, I'm afraid Li Yuan would have some big moves." Bu Xing frowned and thought. He realized with his intuition that Li Yuan must be preparing for some conspiracy, but he was unaware of the key points for a while.
Logically speaking, Li Yuan's glory and wealth are entrusted to Chu State, so he should not have broken down the corners of Chu State, but Li Yuan betrayed the major military intelligence of Chu State without hesitation.
"General, there is news!" Jing Su ran in quickly.
"The general who led the troops this time was Jingwei, the Duke of Dongyang of Chu, and the Jiangdong troops in Chunshenjun's territory was the main one."
"Jiangdong soldiers?"
Meng Tian was stunned and couldn't help but think of the Jiangdong army led by Xiang Yu. At this time, the south was not fully developed, and the southeast had not yet become a place of books in later generations. The Jiangdong people of Chu were brave and fierce, and were extremely brave and brave.
A warrior who is incompatible with each other often fights and kills. He is respected by Jiangdong people. It is because Xiang Yu is able to carry a tripod that he has gained a great reputation in Jiangdong.
Of course, his life experience also gave him a lot of halo.
"The Jiangdong soldiers were mainly Chunshenjun's private soldiers. It seems that the Chu State is coming this time." Bu Xing had traveled to Chu State and learned about the situation of Chu State. "The Chu people were keen on franchises, including Danyang, Moling and other places in Jiangdong. When Chunshenjun proposed to exchange fiefs, the King of Chu granted Chunshenjun."
The country of Chu is quite strange, named Chu, but it is cut into territories of all sizes. Most of these lords can be traced back to King Wu of Chu, Xiong Tong, and have more or less blood ties with the king.
Over the past few hundred years, the forces in Chu State were mixed, and the main officials were almost controlled by nobles such as Jing, Zhao, Qu, etc. Wu Qi failed to reform and Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the ministers of Chu State were dissatisfied when they heard about the reform.
The core point of the Warring States reform was to limit the power of the lord and deprive the lord of his private soldiers. However, in Chu, without the support of the lord's private soldiers, Chu could not attack the outside world at all, and even defending was in danger.
After all the private soldiers were killed and injured, the lord's territory would be taken over to the King of Chu or divided up. Over time, everyone would learn to be smart, and they all were committed to maintaining their strength and protecting themselves.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Qi boldly interweaves and goes deep into the heart of Chu, and defeating Chu without any resistance.
"The attack on Qin must be Chunshenjun's idea." Meng Tian sorted out the known information. Chunshenjun was a mature and cunning politician. Such a person was really hard to deal with. Last year, Chunshenjun sent Li Yuan to lead troops, and there was no intention of eliminating the troops of political enemies. "After Chu moved eastward, he never fought against Qin with the power of a country. If what I expected, Chu might have participated in the gang."
The King of Chu was afraid of Qin, and Chunshen Jun would not be angry. The military operations he led were all involved in the country of Shandong.
"Jing Su, send someone immediately to quickly pass the news of the Chu people's invasion back to Xianyang!" The harm of using troops is hesitation. "In addition, you send someone to inform the general of Wuguan to make him more vigilant!"
"Strengthen the inspection of Wancheng, and all suspicious people will be taken down!"
It only took a year for the Qin army to occupy the Nanyang land of South Korea. Even though they vigorously attacked the stubborn local forces and won over small families that were invincible, Meng Tian knew in his heart that these people were still fences in their hearts.
Don't look at their obedience to the point of being obedient, once the Qin army is defeated, these people will attack them in groups.
When Le Yi conquered Qi, many people from Qi surrendered to Yan State, but when Yan State was defeated by Jimo, these people of Qi turned their faces faster than anyone else.
Every time there was a story about Le Yi's attack on Qi, Meng Tian seemed to be able to see that when the six kingdoms rebelled against Qin, there was almost no difference in the scene.
The Qin army was very strict and the general could not leave his defense zone without authorization. Meng Tian did not receive the military order or received the tiger talisman, so he could only do his best to be on guard and prepare to send troops to reinforce Wuguan at any time.
The terrain of Wuguan is dangerous and not as good as Hangu Pass. There is no possibility of breaking through the sneak attack. When Liu Ji entered Xianyang, he was walking on the Wuguan Road. When King Huai of Chu, the Chu army attacked Qin and also broke through Wuguan.
"The princes in the world attack every year, and it is better to understand shortly than to suffer for a long time. Unification is indeed the basis for achieving internal peace in China!"
After the war, Meng Tian's awareness of hope to achieve China's unification is getting higher and higher. Missing Ying Zheng's generation, China's unification cause will only be in a long way.
Meng Tian scoffed at those who say that China’s unification trend is in a trend. No matter what the general trend is, if you don’t meet the right person, the general trend will be wasted.
*******
Pingyu, Chu army camp, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
With the lights, the Chu army commander Danyang attacked Jing Wei, spreading the map in his hand and frowned.
The Qin people seized the land of Nanyang and gained buffer space for Wuguan. The Chu State attacked Qin State and seemed even more passive.
If Nanyang was still in the hands of South Korea, with South Korea's nature, it would definitely not affect the right of pass through Chu. As long as the Koreans turn a blind eye, the Chu army will have a chance of success in attacking Wuguan.
Fortunately, the Chu army did not need to capture Wu Pass this time, it only needed to restrain the Qin army with all its strength.
After the army was assembled by Pingyu, the envoy of Zhao State revealed Pang Nuan's plan.
It turned out that Pang Nuan wanted to be surprised and led his army to bypass Hangu Pass, smuggle Puban, and drove straight into Guanzhong.
"If Pang Nuan can succeed, I will take back the land of Nanjun!"
Jing Wei's eyes were concentrated in the Nanjun area, which was the birthplace of Chu State and the location of Jing's ancestral tomb.
After Bai Qi seized the former land of Yingdu of Chu, Qin established Nanjun, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of the people of Chu.
Chunshen Jun gave Jing Wei the order that he could attack Wuguan with all his strength and strive to enter Guanzhong. However, Jing Wei was not a visionary strategist, and he was reluctant to waste the elite troops in his hands.
Speaking of which, the old nobles of Chu were still too conservative.
