Chapter 519: Taking the initiative to attack the Chu army
Wu Qi did not stay after arriving at Hangu Pass.
He disappeared without a trace that day.
When Yu Qian arrived, the commander of Hangu Pass was extremely confused and said:
"Ever since Wu Qi arrived here, I have sent people to monitor him."
"But, in the time it took to take a nap, Wu Qi disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth."
Hearing this, Yu Qian said with a sense of loss: "Perhaps the fate of my Great Qin and Wu Qi has not yet arrived."
With Wu Qi's intelligence, it was easy for him to get rid of the spies who were monitoring him.
Since the other party was able to reach Hangu Pass, he must have a way to leave.
Yu Qian had no choice but to return.
A few days after leaving Hangu Pass and about to arrive in Xianyang, Yu Qian suddenly realized and said to those around him:
"Hangu Pass has been tightly closed, as have the other border passes. Where could Wu Qi have escaped to?"
"He must still be in my Qin State, but we all thought he had left."
An attendant immediately asked, "What should we do? Should we go to Hangu Pass again?"
Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Wu Qi has been at odds with the Qin State for many years. Although he has never been to Qin territory, he must be well aware of everything about our Great Qin."
"Unless he wants to show up, we won't be able to find him. After we return to Xianyang, let the Three Guards investigate."
at the same time.
Outside the official road of Xianyang.
In an unremarkable little teahouse.
Wu Qi and his followers witnessed Yu Qian and his entourage entering Xianyang City.
His followers exclaimed in amazement: "Master, you are truly a god. You not only predicted that Yu Qian would leave from Hangu Pass."
"You can even guess when he will return to Xianyang."
"I guess Yu Qian never dreamed that we would have already arrived in Xianyang City."
"They say Yu Qian can fight on horseback and govern a country on foot. But it seems he's still not as good as you, Master."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi glared at the follower and said in a deep voice:
"Yu Qian is a rare hero in this world. He is just one step behind me. It is not your turn to speak."
The attendant nodded repeatedly, "Master, blame me for being too talkative. Now, where should we go?"
Wu Qi gazed at the tall and majestic Xianyang City, stroked his beard and said, "Let's go for a walk."
--------------
The seventh year of Taichu, early August.
Xiang Yu personally led an army of 300,000 to Yan territory and successfully joined forces with Yan Emperor Li Shimin.
However, the plan that Dong Zhuo is implementing is still missing the most important link.
It was Li Siyuan who reported to Li Shimin that Li Keyong intended to rebel.
Zhang Yi has been living in Li Siyuan's camp for two months.
The reason why Li Siyuan delayed in doing this was because he heard the news of the arrival of the Chu army.
What if the Chu army and the Yan army joined forces and really repelled the Qin army?
Li Siyuan didn't dare to take the risk.
Therefore, we should wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision.
Now, Dong Zhuo and others are discussing the arrival of the Chu army.
"Although the Chu army only has 300,000 soldiers, they are said to be elite troops, and their commander, Xiang Yu, is also our old rival."
"Should we take the initiative next, or remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances?"
"It's fine to take the initiative, but should we attack the Chu army or the Yan army first?"
"I think we should attack the Yan army first. After all, the Chu army is coming to rescue Yan. If we defeat the Yan army, won't the Chu army also collapse without a fight?"
“…”
Almost everyone agreed that Qin's main enemy was still the Yan army.
If the main force of the Yan army is destroyed.
It would be impossible for the State of Chu to help the State of Yan, which was doomed to failure.
The Qin State never took the 300,000-strong Chu army seriously.
They were just worried that the arrival of the Chu army would cause more casualties among their own soldiers.
At this moment, Ying Yuan, who was eavesdropping outside the big tent, felt that they were about to finalize the main combat mission.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and strode into the tent.
Seeing this.
Dong Zhuo and the others stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ying Yuan nodded, sat on the main seat, glanced at everyone, and scolded them first.
"Ever since the suppression of Zhu Wen, the war has dragged on for several months with no progress."
"Are the Yan army really that difficult to deal with? Or are you all just a bunch of good-for-nothings?"
As soon as these words fell.
Even though the generals were wearing armor, they couldn't help but tremble and fell to the ground after hearing Ying Yuan's angry voice.
They said nothing, nor did they dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan continued, "Now, it's just that the Chu army has arrived, and it almost threw you off your feet."
"How can this be accomplished? Since the Chu army dares to come, let them pay the price!"
"I have decided to dispatch heavy troops to attack the Chu army starting tomorrow!"
No one dared to question his decision anymore.
So, all the generals and soldiers agreed and decided to attack the Chu army the next day.
After Ying Yuan left.
They dared to discuss.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to attack the Chu army first?"
"I guess there are two."
"First, the Chu army has come a long way and has not yet had time to rest. A specific battle plan is probably not yet drawn up. This is the best time to attack."
"Secondly, the Chu army dared to come to the aid of Yan because they thought Yan still had its main force."
"If we can defeat the Chu army, we can prove to the world that whoever aids Yan will pay the price."
