After Fusu gave the order, people throughout the Qin Dynasty began to move. Most of the garrison troops in various counties and counties were transferred out. Some people who were supposed to serve in the military were also recruited into the army at the same time.

In just half a month, more than 100,000 horses and horses have been assembled. In addition, several tens of thousands of horses are still waiting in Hanoi on the edge of Chu. Da Qin has indeed spent all his strength this time.

With all their strength, the entire country's 200,000 troops were dispatched to destroy Chu. Originally, the strength of the Qin State was far less than this, but years of conquests and civil strife finally reduced Qin Shihuang's million-strong army to just these 20 or so.

There were ten thousand troops, but the remaining Qin army of more than 200,000 was the most elite group of the Qin army, so Fusu did not think that these 200,000 troops could not destroy the Chu State, which had an army of more than 100,000.

Because the weather was already very hot, the entire army did not advance very quickly, and Fusu did not seem to be in a hurry to get the army to the major counties in the south quickly, so all his 30,000 imperial guards were

He was traveling in the morning and evening, and he set up a tent to rest during the day. This made some of the accompanying generals and Zhang Liang puzzled. Finally, after walking for nearly half a month, Canghaijun couldn't help it anymore, so he tactfully asked

Fusu brought it up.

Since Fusu proclaimed himself emperor, Lord Canghai has also become a general guarding Xianyang City. However, his burly figure and anxious temper have not restrained at all. Even when talking to the emperor, he did not lower his voice.

Low: "Emperor

Sir, I think our army should rush south as soon as possible, so that we can launch an attack on Chu as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Chu people will make all preparations, and it will be difficult for us to attack them. Please hurry up.

Ah, Your Majesty!"

Fusu glanced at Cang Haijun's clothes that were loose due to the heat, and then looked at the other generals who were also convinced and smiled: "Haha, you saw that I ordered all the people in Da Qin to assemble, and

I immediately led 30,000 troops out of Xianyang. Do you think that I will immediately launch an attack on Chu?" Seeing these people nodded, Fusu continued, "That's right, this is what I want.

This effect. Even if you are sure that I will launch an attack on Chu in the short term, then the Chu people will definitely do the same. They should be preparing how to arrange their troops at various key points to stop me.

The army of the Qin Dynasty is gone. But I am not in a hurry to rush to the Chu land to fight with the Chu people now. I want to weaken their energy first, and when they start to relax, our army can attack."

Everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They couldn't understand why Fusu did this. If it was just to break the will of the Chu army, there was no need for everyone to come out of Xianyang under the scorching sun. Peng Hong also hesitated.

After a while he said: "Your Majesty, I only know how to take advantage of victory.

Chasing the enemy, we have just defeated the Chu army in three counties. Their military morale must be unstable. If we attack the Chu people at the fastest speed at this time, they will definitely not have time to make the most appropriate response. Our Qin army

Wouldn’t it be possible to capture several Chu counties in one fell swoop?”

Fusu shook his head and said: "You only know one but not the other. Although the Chu army was defeated this time, among the three groups of troops, only the group that attacked Yingchuan suffered greater losses. The other two groups still retreated safely. And Chu

There are also many generals in the army who are good at using troops. Don't they know how to pursue the enemy while they are victorious? Once they retreat to Chu, they will definitely leave their troops behind.

The dangerous places are protected from our army's attack. Therefore, if we say that we are chasing the enemy while we are victorious, I am afraid that it will only allow our army to surpass the enemy in terms of momentum. The real blow to the Chu army will not be too great. Moreover, the current use of troops against Chu will be against us, Da Qin.

Our soldiers are in an extremely unfavorable situation..." Fusu stopped and glanced at Zhang Liang, as if waiting for him to answer his question.

Zhang Liang had already understood Fusu's intention at this time, and then he said: "Is the emperor referring to the hot weather today? Yes, it is the scorching heat now, and most of our troops are soldiers collected from the north and the Central Plains, and

Not used to the heat in the south, even under the sun

It was unbearable to walk for a while, let alone fighting the Chu army under such a scorching sun. But the Chu army was not like that. They were all people who grew up in the south and were already accustomed to such scorching heat. If the two

If the army fights, our Qin army may not be the opponent of the Chu army."

Fusu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Zifang has seen my intention. This is the second reason why I made a big splash this time but did not rush to Chudi. I will stay until after summer.

Only then did the army attack Chu Di

When we launch the attack, the weather has begun to turn cold and the energy of the Chu army has been exhausted. Our Daqin soldiers can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Moreover, I am not completely useless in marching along the way.

The feelings among the sergeants are deeper. When the battle begins, everyone's cooperation will be more tacit. So on the way to the south, you should also train more troops. Once the weather cools down, it will be time for our army to attack Chudi.

." The generals quickly accepted the order. In this way, the Qin army on the road no longer had any suspicion. As the Qin army behind them continued to catch up, Fusu's army gradually increased in number. It was already late June.

.

At this time in Hanoi County, Meng Tian and Han Xin also knew that Fusu was going to send troops to attack Chu. They had gathered all the soldiers who could still fight together for training to prepare for the next battle against Chu.

.But after waiting for more than ten days, they saw some Qin soldiers coming from other counties, but they did not wait for Fusu and his troops. This made the two of them very puzzled.

After training the soldiers that day, Han Xin stood with Meng Tian. Han Xin said: "General Meng and the emperor have been together for the longest time. Can you guess what the emperor is thinking now? He said that he would attack with a large army.

Chu, but many are further away

The people and horses have arrived one after another, but the emperor's army has not arrived yet. Do we have to wait like this? The Chu people have also received the news. If this continues, the number of people and horses they can deploy will also increase.

The more.”

Meng Tian was also very confused in his heart, but he firmly believed that Fusu must have a reason for doing this, and said: "General Han, the emperor's decree only ordered everyone to rush to the south, but he did not say that he would do it immediately.

If you want to use troops against Chu, maybe the emperor

He must have his intention. As generals, we only need to follow the orders. Once the war begins, it is time for us to show our strengths. What we are doing now is to train the soldiers to be more elite, so that this time

The speed of attacking Chu is faster."

Han Xin glanced at Meng Tian, ​​and in his heart he admired Meng Tian for being so loyal, and in the end he couldn't put forward any other opinions.

But as soldiers and horses from all over the country continued to rush to Hanoi County, Han Xin's doubts arose again, just because many of the people who came this time were cavalry, not only tens of thousands of soldiers, but also tens of thousands of horses.

, the daily consumption increased exponentially. Even Meng Tian couldn't figure out the reason for this. He could only advise Han Xin not to worry too much, and he would definitely let them understand when Fusu arrived.

Amid such doubts, on the third day of July, Fu Su finally arrived at Hanoi County with 80,000 troops. Because he was delayed for too long on the road, some troops from the north also caught up with him on the way.

Fusu's men and horses were captured, and Fusu naturally merged them into his own men and horses, and did not let them go south in a hurry. In this way,

Later, when they arrived in Hanoi County, Fusu's 30,000 troops had expanded to 80,000. Fusu did not rest along the way, constantly breaking up the troops, reorganizing them, and then training, so

First, when these 80,000 troops arrived in Hanoi, they had already cooperated with each other tacitly, and it was completely impossible to tell that they were composed of soldiers from many different counties.

Meng Tian and his two men went out of the city and welcomed Fu Su into Hanoi County. Fu Su looked at the newly built Hanoi City and nodded frequently. Although the city was not as large as before, it was also located on an important road, and the city walls were made of rammed earth.

, very solid, which was the characteristic of the city in this era. As Fusu walked into the city, he asked Meng Tian about the situation of the people and horses who came from other counties these days, and Meng Tian answered them all one by one.

When Fusu asked them what difficulties they had, Han Xin finally asked the two questions he had in his mind. Fusu laughed: "General Han finally couldn't help it. I noticed you as soon as I saw you.

If you have anything to say to me, it turns out it’s for this matter.” After saying that, Fusu told Han Xin and Han Xin exactly what he said to Zhang Liang and the others, “So although our army has already arrived here,

But it’s not time to use troops against Chu yet.”

Han Xin understood Fusu's explanation very well. He even blamed himself for being so stupid. Then he raised a second question: "Your Majesty, although Hanoi County has food and grass allocated from all over the Qin Dynasty, so many war horses are still not available."

Isn't it too wasteful to stay here? We will attack Chudi next, but if we want to attack the city, the cavalry will not be of much use here."

Fusu smiled and shook his head: "You are wrong. This time I not only transferred all the cavalry of our Great Qin here, but also brought out the armored cavalry who had never fought the enemy on the battlefield. I

It is expected that the war with the Chu people will definitely take place outside the city, and we will have to rely on our cavalry and armored cavalry to win by surprise."

"What?" Han Xin and Meng Tian both stayed there. They really didn't expect that Fusu would actually mobilize all the cavalry. They didn't know why he was so confident that this battle would definitely take place in the city.
