General Qin.

"The traitor Xiong Qi, who failed Wang En, not only betrayed our country of Qin, but dared to pretend to be the false king of Jingchu today. Such behavior is against the sky, and we must kill him to repay the king!"

Outside Shouchun City, black flags fluttered in the endless Qin army tents.

General Wang Jiangao of the Qin State took the throne.

He slapped the letter that recorded Xiong Qi's claim to the king on the wooden table, his eyes widened and he cursed.

Below, the most irritable Qiang Yan immediately shouted: "The last general asks for orders, lead the army to conquer the false king Xiong Qi, and we must behead this traitor and dedicate it to the general."

Qiang Lu was very excited, for fear that others would steal this great achievement from him.

The false king Xiong Qi.

During Li Xin's battle against Chu, this person colluded with the Chu people and betrayed the state of Qin, which eventually led to the disastrous defeat of 20 Qin troops in Chu.

This kind of betrayal made Qin Wangzheng hate to the bone, and this person has become the most notorious traitor in Qin today.

The people of Qin wished to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin, and they hated it very much.

If Qiang Lu can capture and kill Xiong Qi, it will definitely make the king happy.

Even Zhao Tuo, who had a record of breaking [-] Qi troops before, might be inferior to him.

Therefore, Qiang Zhen was very excited, and he was the first to ask for orders to conquer.

"If I, Qiang Li, can capture and kill the puppet king, I will definitely be able to overwhelm Zhao Tuo!"

Except for Qiang Lu, the rest of the generals also had their eyes shining.

Xiong Qi is not only a traitor of Qin, but now he is arrogating himself as King of Chu.

Although Wang Jian made Xiong Qi, who was called the king, a false king, he did not recognize that the other party was the orthodox King of Jingchu.

After all, if they admit that Xiong Qi is an upright King of Chu, then what about the feat of destroying the country they just obtained?

But the "false king", anyway, also has the word "king" in his name, so don't take it lightly.

Xiong Qi ascending to this position means that his value far exceeds that of everyone in Jingchu Land, even Ling Yin Xiangyan is not as good as him.

A false king, the traitor that the king hates the most, the traitor of Qin, if they can capture and kill him with their own hands, how much credit will they have?
Faced with Qiang Li pleading for orders, Wang Jian remained expressionless, his eyes swept across the tent, and finally fell on Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo frowned, and when Wang Jian looked over, he knew that the other party wanted to speak up.

He calmly said, "The traitor Xiong Qi pretended to be a false king, and the last general was very angry. He wished he could lead his army eastward and return his head by beheading him."

"Although Jingchu was defeated, its strength still exists. The final general heard that Xiang Yan led tens of thousands of elite troops to Huaiyang to go east, and Xiong Qi brought soldiers from Jiangdong to the north. In addition to those gathered in Huainan, Huaiyin is now the land of Huaiyin. There are probably nearly 10 soldiers under the bandit army."

"The strength of the Chu army is still there, and with Xiang Yan as a general, it is a great enemy and should not be underestimated. At present, in our army, only the general can defeat Xiang Yan. The last general is with the general. Under the account, just obey the orders."

Hearing this, Qiang Li's face turned red, and he couldn't help muttering: "Fawn on Shuzi."

Several other generals held back their smiles, and several veteran generals who followed Wang Jian in the battle were even joking.

The general had just asked for orders from Qiang Yan, but he didn't express his opinion. It was because he wanted to conquer Xiang Yan himself, so he signaled Zhao Tuo to speak.

Qiang Lu is a man who is brave if he is brave, but after all, he was born in a barbarian, he is strong in fighting for merit, and he is straightforward and rude. He is far inferior to Zhao Tuo in terms of being a man.

In the year when Yandi besieged Jicheng, Qiang Yan chased the bait sent by the Yanren for greed, which caused the Yanwang convoy to escape and ascend to heaven. This is an example.

However, out of the consideration of appeasing the barbarians, the Qin State still valued "horse bones" like Qiang Li, so although this guy was not liked by others, the generals didn't bother with him.

Only when Li Xin was under Wang Jian's command in the past, he often clashed with this barbarian, and the two often quarreled and argued.Now that Li Xin is gone, Zhao Tuo took over the job instead. He really deserves to be Li Xin's "arm".

Wang Jian didn't care about the thoughts of the generals. Seeing that Zhao Tuo had said what he wanted to say, he said along the way: "Zhao Tuo's words are true. Xiang Yan still has elites in his hands, so don't take it lightly. I will lead the army to the east. Conquer the false king and wipe out these thieves in one fell swoop."

At this point, Wang Jian slapped the wooden case, stood up straight, and said in a loud voice: "All generals obey the order, and the army will be assembled for three days, and the food and fodder will be prepared. After three days, I will lead an army to conquer the puppet king and quell the land of Chu in one fell swoop! "

"only."

All the generals in the tent responded in unison, with excitement on everyone's face.

Wang Jian's eyes were also piercing, and his old body burst out with vitality again.

He is old.

The battle to destroy Chu should be Wang Jian's last battle.

Wang Jian wanted to achieve a perfect record as the end of his life's campaign.

There is absolutely no room for loss in this Eastern Expedition.

"Xiang Yan, I'm here."

Wang Jian whispered in his heart.

Xiang Yan should be Wang Jian's last opponent on the battlefield in his life.

Following the general's order for the expedition, the Qin army outside Shouchun City began to operate quickly like a sophisticated war machine.

Reorganize the army, arrange defense, and confirm the ownership of each army and the direction of the expedition.

This time Qin sent 60 troops to attack Chu. In addition to letting the deputy Yang Duanhe go north to lead more than 30 people to continue the attack on Chu in Huaibei, a total of [-] troops were stationed outside Shouchun City.

Wang Jian led an army of 20 in the Eastern Expedition.

Among them, there are 15 soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

The reason why the proportion of auxiliary troops decreased was because the Qin army's target Huaiyin was located along the Huai River.Therefore, when the Qin army marched eastward along the Huai River, it could rely on boat divisions to transport grain from the Huai River, reducing the loss of manpower and food, and did not require too many civilians to transport.

If the Chu army goes south and tries to lengthen the battle line, the Qin army can also recruit Chu people as civilian husbands on the spot to solve the problem of insufficient labor in the future.

Except for the 20 people who marched eastward, the remaining [-] Qin troops were not idle. Except for some of them stayed to guard Shouchun, the remaining Qin troops were divided into two groups and sent out by Wang Jian.

All the way to the south, the Qin army went straight to the six towns of Chu State, as well as the direction of Juchao further south.They want to take advantage of the prestige of destroying Chu to occupy the cities in this area when Chu is frightened, and at the same time block the reinforcements from Chu going to Huainan in this direction.

The other Qin army went southeast. As for the north bank of the river, it went east again.

"With such a force and layout, there is nothing to worry about in this battle."

Zhao Tuo nodded secretly, this time Wang Jian's eastward expedition, no matter in terms of troop strength, morale or food and supplies, it will crush Xiang Yan's Chu army, and the result of this battle is almost predictable.

"I just don't know how Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan will fight against our Qin army's eastward march?"

……

"Your Majesty raised the flag and called on the people from Huainan and Jiangdong to join us. Wang Jian will definitely not sit idly by. In a few days, he will lead an army to attack."

Just when hundreds of thousands of Qin troops marched out of Shouchun City, the generals of Chu State in Huaiyin City were also planning to resist Qin.

Ling Yin Xiangyan stood in the tent and said loudly: "Qin's army is numerous and our army is few. Although our army has the tendency to mourn, the Qin people are also attacking with the power of a great victory. Their morale is high and must not be underestimated. Although our army has plundered rations from various places, it cannot last long, and within a few months, we will have to defeat the Qin people."

As soon as this remark came out, all Chu generals were in an uproar.

Chu Wang Qi also frowned and said: "Ling Yin's analysis is indeed correct, but now Qin is strong and Chu is weak. Wang Jian led a large army to attack, and our army has few troops. It is difficult to strengthen the city's defenses in a hurry. How can we compete with Wang Jian's army?" Fight against, and win as soon as possible?"

"Yeah, the defeat was too fast, and we were not prepared enough."

All the generals agreed.

The fall of Shouchun was so fast that they didn't even receive a few replies from the lords, and the food, fodder and supplies they needed were quite lacking. Facing the massive attack of the Qin people, they were naturally stretched.

Facing the mourning of the generals, Xiang Yan also sighed secretly in his heart.

He originally wanted to rely on the Huainan Jiangdong land and Wang Jian to delay consumption, but now that the Chu army has gathered nearly [-] troops, and the daily consumption is countless, once they retreat, his troops may not be able to sustain it.

So even if you want to retreat, you have to fight Qin Jun first.

Moreover, he may not have no chance of winning this battle.

Xiang Yan took a deep breath, and said loudly: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the Qin army has huge cannons in hand, so it is useless to defend casually. We can't hold on to the city, we must rely on the favorable location. In terms of geographical location, We have no chance of winning!"

Hearing this, the generals were astonished.

It was still Jing Tong who reacted the fastest, he said in surprise: "Ling Yin said that the location is favorable, could it be the lakes and lakes in my Huainan land?"

"Of course!"

Xiang Yan pointed to a point on the map and said with a smile: "Facing the Qin army coming to the west, Huaiyin has no danger to defend. But there are waters all over the good road in the west and Dongyang direction, and the lakes are connected. The road is muddy and difficult to walk. Good location too!"
