Chapter 93 Fengming Qishan
Two peaches kill three soldiers.
In the face of fame and power, being able to be free from being vain or impetuous, being able to correctly judge yourself and grasp every step is a quality that an excellent leader must possess.
If he had no identity as a time traveler, Li Yuan would have been like Ying Ziying in the face of the temptation of the throne. He knew it was a fire pit, but he still wanted to jump down.
Today's dormant.
It is for the next step of soaring into the sky.
If Li Yuanjun, who was still weak in the anti-Qin coalition, had a mantis arm, was killed by a chariot, he would be wiped out. Now, he gave up the empty Xianyang City and pushed Ying Ziying, who had no military power, to the forefront. The development of the situation would be Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought for the position of the King of Guanzhong.
History is changing, but what remains unchanged is the human heart.
Li Yuan believed that Xiang Yu was still the same Xiang Yu and Liu Bang was still the same Liu Bang, and his weakness in character would eventually lead to fierce conflicts between them.
Now, all he has to do is to hide himself and wait and see what changes are happening.
Yongcheng.
The capital of the pre-Qin Kingdom.
It was later Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. This was the capital of the nine provinces in the world in "Yu Gong": Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, Yong. It was called Yongyi in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Duke Xiang of Qin was named a prince, the King of Western Zhou gave it to Qixi.
Qixi is the upper reaches of the Guanzhong Plain west of Neishi County and east of Didao. In later generations, it was Baoji, Fengxiang, Chencang, Qianye and Fufeng. The plants and trees are prosperous, the land is fertile, and the geographical location is key to the east and west transportation. It is also full of gullies and ravines, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Compared with other places in Guanzhong, the people of Yongcheng have the deepest feelings for the Qin State, and they are the strong support for Li Yuan's future development.
The day after the entire army arrived in Yongcheng, Li Yuan urgently summoned generals and counselors to hold the first official military meeting since entering Guanzhong.
At this meeting, Yang Xiong, Xin Sheng and other generals who were originally out of the periphery were also included. For them, as their relationship with Li Yuan became increasingly close, under the centripetal force of this small group, they no longer had any other choices.
Yang Xiong retreated all the way, with only a thousand garrison troops remaining at Hangu Pass. Faced with the overwhelming anti-Qin army, even if he had natural dangers, he could not defend the pass under the extreme disparity in strength.
Xin Sheng moved his family to Yongcheng with his daughter Xin Zhui. Under his demonstration and call, Li Yuanjun's immigration work went smoothly. During the process of Li Yuan's occupation of Guanzhong, the veteran general played an unsubstitutable role. In the war of unification, the veteran was shining and eager to prove himself again.
The people of the six Kanto countries have long hated Qin. The riots in Kanto have already made the Qin people frightened. Faced with the threat of death and destroying their families, one young Qin people after another set out on the road to the west, with the expectation of their families, they wanted to win the hope of inheritance and reproduction for the entire family.
Outside Yongcheng, Qishan.
What surprised Xin Sheng, Yang Xiong and others was that Li Yuan did not place the meeting place in the formal meeting hall, but moved it to the foot of Qishan.
The military deployment meeting was held in the field. Faced with the undulating mountains, young generals such as Luo Jia and Wang Shang expanded their minds, and the depression of retreating for many days was also wiped out.
A reduced sand table in the center has been made and placed in front of everyone. Mountains and rivers are piled up with sand and soil, rivers are drilled with flowing water, and roads, passes, forests and cities are clearly marked.
"You guys, the sky is high and the sea is wide. Some of them are where my men gallop. Our army retreated today for the sake of great strides in the future. We gave up today in Xianyang and will go back one day. Do you have confidence?" Li Yuan said loudly with eyes on the generals and advisers.
"Yes!" The answers of young generals such as Luo Jia, Wang Shang, Jiang Yu were not loud.
"You guys, since March, our army has reduced its troops and given up many cities such as Hangu, Xianyang, Linxia, Lantian, etc. Now, the entire army has completed its strategic transfer. A total of 200,000 soldiers have moved with the army to the west of Qishan. Now, there are 200,000 healthy women. Now it has been arranged to be resettled in Wugong, Meishan, Qixian and other places, and the grain and fodder supply is provided. There are still four months to mature in the first season of this autumn. Although it has been raised from many sources, there are too many people to eat, and there is still a month's shortage-" Facing the old, few, brave, or wise generals, Li Yuan pointed at the cities on the sand table with a bronze rod and began to analyze the complex situation in Guanzhong.
"According to the latest news, Liu Bangjun has appeared in the direction of Raoguan south of the Qinling Mountains. It is estimated that if Liu Jun is fast, it will take only two days and nights to reach Xianyang; in the direction of Hangu, Xiang Yu's army had just passed the pass, and it would take as fast as five days to reach the capital. If the two tigers fight, there will be one injury. What we have to do now is to guard Qishan and Chencang, no matter who dares to come to the old Qin people to take advantage of it, then he will be resolute and unceremonious to attack him."
"General, we really won't retreat this time?" Luo Jia asked in surprise.
Retreat, transfer, move -, these days, Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant Army has complained a lot. For soldiers who are used to moving forward bravely, it is more uncomfortable to let them retreat than to kill them. Li Yuan also deeply feels this, but orders are orders and must be executed unconditionally. At this point, Luo Jia and the others have done well, but they still have a little bit of a turn in their hearts.
Li Yuandian pointed to the sand table and then said, "We gave up Hangu Pass, Xianyang, and plundered the treasury of Xianyang, leaving such a large area for Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and the others torture, so let's watch the show with peace of mind! Come and see, our army's next military goal is Longxi County, the Shanggua area (now the water area) is my hometown of Qin and Xuanyuan, but now it is attacked by Di and Qiang people. What we need to do is to drive away the barbarians, rest and rest, and wait for the time to rise again."
"County magistrate, this time, the three generals of the border army, Wang Li, Su Jiao and Meng Hu, also retreated to Yong County with our army. I see what they mean is that they want to turn back to Jiuyuan, what should we do?" Yang Xiong asked with a respectful look on his face.
Li Yuan’s analysis just now gave him a sense of surprise that he could analyze from a global perspective and look at the general trend of the country. Li Yuan’s ability is indeed much stronger than him.
"The border army was arrogant and looked down upon before the first round. This time, all the elite troops of the border army were lost. According to my opinion, it would be better to take over the remaining troops." Luo Jia said angrily.
"The county magistrate is not allowed. Wang Li and Su Jiao were lucky to be supported by our army this time, so he escaped his life. According to Ping's opinion, he could help each other." Chen Ping listened to his advice.
Just now, Li Yuan analyzed the military trend, which was not his strength in Chen Ping. However, when it comes to the alliance, Chen Ping's insights are indeed unique.
The foundation of the Qin border army is in Jiuyuan County in the north. Although the elite border army has already lost almost all, there are still left-behind troops in Jiuyuan County. With the advantage of the anti-Qin forces, Li Yuan’s army and the border army are the only two existing forces in Qin State. It is indeed the best choice to rely on each other and help each other.
