In the Chenxian County Government Office, Lin Zeduan sat in the chair, while Han Xin, Chen Ping, Li Xin, Wu Fan and others sat on both sides.
"What's the situation in the surrounding area? Have you ever investigated clearly?" Lin Ze asked calmly.
Wu Fan stood up and cupped his hands and replied: "For your information, Lord Marquis, my subordinates have searched Chen County within a radius of 300 miles. Except for the two rebel armies of Xiang Ji and Liu Ji, no other suspicious forces have been found."
"My subordinates have carefully observed the two rebel camps of Xiang Ji and Liu Ji, and combined with other intelligence, it can be inferred that Liu Ji's army has about 150,000 people, most of whom are remnants of the Zhang Chu rebels in the past, and Xiang Ji's army only has
The number of 30,000 people is mostly from the Chu area who are rebelling against the people and have fighting strength."
Lin Ze nodded slightly and turned to look at Han Xin: "How are the soldiers recuperating?"
Han Xin immediately stood up and said: "You can go to war at any time, please rest assured, Lord Marquis."
Seeing Lin Ze's gaze turning, Qianyuan stood up and said: "The army has plenty of food and medicinal materials. According to the current consumption rate, it can last for at least half a year. Please rest assured, Lord Marquis."
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "It seems that everything is ready, just waiting to be launched."
Chen Ping and his men and equipment held their hands in salute and said: "Please give me your orders, Lord Marquis."
Lin Ze stood up and walked to the wall behind him, pointing to the huge map hanging on it, and said: "The puppet king Wu Chen of the Zhao Kingdom has recently lost his life, and all the 200,000 troops in the country have been gathered in the East County.
consider."
"The State of Qi is in the east, far away from Chen County, and the State of Qi is also seriously injured this time, so we will not consider it anymore."
"Right now and even for a long time to come, our goals are the two forces Liu Ji and Xiang Ji."
"Liu Ji stationed troops in the north of Chen County, with about 150,000 troops. He was also assisted by Confucian disciples holding Confucian sacred ritual vessels. I have not yet figured out what is so magical about the Confucian sacred ritual vessels. I think they have the same effect as the master's secret treasure.
If you want to destroy Liu Ji in one fell swoop, you must find a way to crack it."
"Xiang Ji is stationed in the southeast of Chen County. He currently has 30,000 troops. The secret agent has received news that Xiang Ji has transferred 100,000 troops from Chu State to support them. They will arrive in the near future."
"Xiang Ji's newly promoted grandmaster, his martial arts training is not weaker than this prince's. Therefore, the Chu army is also a hard nut to crack. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"
Han Xin bowed and said: "The general has some vulgar ideas for the Marquis to refer to."
"If the Marquis can stop Xiang Ji, the general can guarantee that the Chu army will be destroyed in half an hour, no matter whether it is 30,000 or 130,000. When the general destroys the Chu army, the army can be used to help the Marquis deal with Xiang Ji.
, if we use force to defeat it like this, Chu will not have anything to worry about."
"As for Liu Ji's army, although I don't know how magical the Confucian sages' ritual weapons are, from my point of view, they cannot be used to produce food, grass, ordnance out of thin air. Therefore, the Marquis only needs to lead the army to trap Liu Ji's army in the military camp.
When they run out of water and food, they can win without fighting."
"Not bad," Lin Ze looked at Han Xin with a smile and praised him.
The two methods that Han Xin came up with are not very sophisticated, but they are methods that can really be put into practice.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis," Han Xin bowed and returned to his seat.
Lin Ze looked around at his group of hardcore team members and asked, "Does anyone else have any good ideas?"
Qianyuan moved slightly when he heard the words. He looked around and saw no one responded. He stood up slightly nervously and said, "I have a plan, and I would like to inform the Marquis for details."
"It is said in the military book that before the troops and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. The marquis can send an elite army to attack the enemy's food road. If the enemy's food and grass are cut off, the morale of the army will be greatly disturbed, and the troops will withdraw and flee."
"At that time, the Marquis will personally lead the army to pursue and kill him, and he will definitely be able to break the enemy army."
Lin Ze couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this: "As expected, he is a talented person in charge of important supplies. He even thinks of strategies like this. Not bad, not bad."
Qianyuan blushed slightly and said, "Master Hou is so complimentary that I don't dare to accept it."
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "Why be humble? Since you can sit here, it naturally means that you are extraordinary. If you keep your original intention and keep working hard, you may not be unable to go further."
Qianyuan chewed Lin Ze's words for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your cultivation."
Lin Ze waved his hand, turned to Chen Ping and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Chen Ping gave a wry smile: "Master's nephew, Master Guan, has already made plans and does not dare to show his shame. Please forgive me, Master."
Lin Ze said calmly: "As the saying goes, one person is planning on shortcomings and two are planning on strengths. I am not an omniscient and omnipotent person. Listening to other people's suggestions is the right way."
Before Lin Ze could say anything else, a guard in brocade robes hurried to Lin Ze's side and whispered a few words.
Lin Ze's eyes brightened and he said, "The timing is just right. Li Xin, you have an army of 100,000 people, do you dare to fight to the death?"
Li Xin stood up with a solemn expression: "Master Marquis has your destiny, do you dare to fight to the death?"
"Okay," Lin Ze praised and told all his plans. Everyone couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
Finally, Lin Ze decisively gave the order: "All generals will obey orders, perform their respective duties, and act according to my plan without making any mistakes."
…
Dongjun, Liu Ji's camp, the scout battalion hurriedly came to the general's camp, raised his hands towards Liu Ji and said: "General Qi, my subordinates have received news that the Qin army in Chenjun has made a move and is heading towards Dongjun. General, please
Make preparations early.”
Liu Ji quickly asked: "How many people did the Qin army dispatch and who was the general who led the troops?"
The scout battalion general immediately replied: "There are at least 200,000 troops. Looking at the flag of the Qin army, the leader seems to be named Lin."
This name came to Lin Ze and Liu Ji's mind. He was startled and shouted: "Come here, quickly go and invite the military advisor and a few gentlemen to come over and discuss matters."
After a while, Zhang Liang and others all arrived at Liu Ji's tent.
Liu Ji asked directly: "The spies came to report that Lin Ze led his army to leave Chen County and attack Dong County. What should be done?"
Zhang Liang glanced at Meng Hao and said, "With the Confucian master here, my lord, there is no need to worry."
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "Lin Ze is a very resourceful person. Since he already knows about the existence of the master, he will definitely find a way to deal with it. And based on my understanding of him, he will definitely not do anything in vain."
Cao Shen intervened and said: "As the saying goes, when soldiers come to block it, when water comes and the soil comes to cover it, just go all out. If the lord is really worried, why not avoid the sharp edge and ask Xiang Yu for help at the same time. Doesn't Xiang Yu want to be the leader of the alliance? Let him
Wouldn't it be good to resist Lin Ze?"
Liu Ji's eyes were bright, and he said with his hands: "That's good. Didn't you suggest that I rely on the terrain to fight a delaying war with Lin Ze? Why not lead the army to retreat and let Xiang Ji fight to the death with Lin Ze?"
Zhang Liang said categorically: "My lord, this must not be done. Delaying the war does not mean simply avoiding the battle. If my lord runs away every time he encounters the Qin army, the army will be demoralized and collapse without a fight."
"
"And Xiang Ji is not a fool. If the lord retreats, how can he fight with the Qin army? The lord does this, which is tantamount to cutting himself off from others. He will no longer be able to unite other anti-Qin forces, and will eventually be driven away by the Qin army.
Defeat it, so please think twice, lord."
"Besides, my lord has 150,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and his strength is not weak. Why should he fear the Qin army like a tiger? It's just a joke."
Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao He and Cao Shen.
Xiao He said euphemistically: "If you want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and establish immortal achievements, you must ultimately rely on your own strength, not others."
After listening to Zhang Liang and Xiao He's words, Liu Ji couldn't help but fell silent. He understood that his performance was not accepted by others, but could he not be more careful when facing monsters like Lin Ze?
Liu Jiwei sighed and said helplessly: "In that case, if you don't run away, just stay here and fight with Lin Ze before we talk."
"But I still need to trouble my military advisor to go to the Chu army's camp and tell him that I, Liu Jiyuan, will be the leader of the alliance according to Xiang Ji, and ask him to come to the rescue as soon as possible."
Zhang Liang sighed slightly and wanted to persuade Liu Ji not to ask for help, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly stopped talking and said, "I obey."
Then, Zhang Liang rose directly into the sky, regardless of the consumption of his energy, and headed towards Xiang Ji's army.
…
Half an hour later, Lin Ze glanced at the smoke blazing in the southeast and suddenly ordered: "Speed up."
