Chapter 707: Abandonment
An Ruhai stood in front of the sand table, staring at the small flags representing Team Qin inside. This sand table was a relics from the Immortal Camp. It was well-made and could be disassembled into parts one by one and carried with you. It was the most convenient.
The small flags in the sand table are no longer what they were originally in. Many have undergone major changes this year. That is the adjustment made by Bian Wushuang to the garrison after taking office. Some push forward and some drag backward. In An Ruhai's view, all the changes have only one purpose, that is, Bian Wushuang is trying to control this border army. Without exception, those who are in front of them are all the original iron-core subordinates of Deng's family.
Bian Wushuang's arrangement was clever. Although these Deng's confidant generals were in front, they were placed in extremely scattered one by one, and it was difficult to connect them. The ones that separated them were naturally Bian Wushuang's trusted subordinates.
Judging from the frequency of the opponent's army's mobilization, it seems that this former Qin boss is slowly controlling the situation. Thinking about it, a guy who has been intriguing for a lifetime came here to deal with a group of generals with small arms and brains. Isn't that holding a handful of hands?
This battle must achieve the initial expected goal. If Bian Wushuang completes the integration of these 100,000 border troops, it will be even more difficult to take advantage of this in the future. Bian Wushuang is not an incompetent person, and this guy is also considered a famous general in the world. An Ruhai doesn't want to give the other party such an opportunity.
"General, there is something unusual about Jingjingguan." Deputy General Su Qian rushed in like a wind, his eyes flashing with excitement.
An Ruhai raised his head, but Gu Jingbubo, "Is that true?"
"General, you seem to be expecting it?" Suqian was a little confused.
An Ruhai smiled, put on his helmet, lifted up his sword, "Let's go, take a look."
In the night, Jingjingguan didn't seem to have any abnormal movements, and was still lying in the distance as before. But veterans like An Ruhai immediately smelled a different smell from the air.
"We suddenly found that the harassing troops in front of us suddenly became quiet. There was no movement and nothing at all. This was abnormal. At first we thought that there was a counterattack in the city, and we were also ready to welcome the guests, but we were disappointed. Then the spy reported the news that the Qin army was actually retreating." Suqian's face was full of incredible expressions. Retreat at the last minute, which was a taboo for military strategists.
"Yang Zhi's head is in a mess, General, we can't let go of such a good opportunity." Suqian said with a finger. For him, in the years since he was transferred from the county soldiers to the border army, he had basically spent military training and small-scale conflicts with the Qin army. This was the first time for him to have such a large-scale war.
If a general wants to make achievements, he naturally needs war and large-scale wars. Compared to his junior brother, Suqian is not at a low position in the Ming Dynasty, but his influence on this continent is far inferior. Now the kitten Zhang Xiaozheng is one of the key figures of various countries. The Yan Kingdom war composed of the Ming team commanded by the Kitty, which is siege of barbarians, is now one of the focus of the mainland.
Listening to Suqian's words, An Ruhai shook his head gently.
"No need." His tone was relaxed. "Yang Zhi is not stupid. Since he dared to retreat in front of the formation, he would definitely make corresponding arrangements. Of course, more importantly, he believed that I would not attack at this time."
"Why don't you attack?" Suqian looked at An Ruhai in confusion. "What a great opportunity? After passing this village, there is no such store."
An Ruhai smiled: "Suqian, what is the purpose of our campaign?"
"Of course, the general is to take back the Luoyingshan Mountains and get back the strategic initiative over the Qin people!" Suqian looked at An Ruhai, not understanding the purpose of An Ruhai's question. This is what every senior general of the Chu army understands.
"Then do you think we can completely annihilate Bian Wushuang's border army this time?" An Ruhai continued.
Suqian thought about it seriously, then shook his head. "With our current strength, we can't do it."
"Yes, it can't be done." An Ruhai smiled and said, "Since our goal does not care about eliminating the opponent, but about taking back the strategic initiative, then we can achieve our goal without fighting big or bad wars. Why do we use the lives of soldiers to do those meaningless things?"
"But General, Qin Chu is still an opponent after all, and the competition for this area will never stop. Unless one side completely fails, destroying the enemy's vitality and preventing them from recovering their vitality in a short period of time, isn't it something we want to do more?" Suqian asked.
"Yes, the competition for this area will never stop." An Ruhai sighed: "Unless we can seize Qingtian County and fight to Qin State, the war here will not stop. Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them. Suqian, you are already a deputy general and a senior general of the Great Chu. Looking at the problem, don't be limited to one time and one place, but look further away. The military focus of the court will never be shifted to us. Now the war in Kunling Pass is tight, Qi is aggressive, and Luo Liang is struggling. Compared to that, we are really not the key here? You must know that if there is any loss in Kunling Pass, the Great Chu will be at risk of destruction!"
Suqian nodded as if he had some understanding.
"This Yang Zhi is a general under Deng Pu, his confidant, and an important figure in the Qin border army. If Bian Wushuang wants to control the border army, he will definitely not let Yang Zhi go. Yang Zhi is also aware that if Bian Wushuang is pried away, he will always be peaceful. Deng wants to use the successive defeats of the Luoying Mountains to hold Bian Wushuang accountable and completely defeat Bian. Yang Zhi is the pioneer of Deng's family here." An Ruhai said lightly. "So I will not chase Yang Zhi and let him maintain a certain strength. If Yang Zhi is really a lonely man, wouldn't it be easy for Bian Wushuang to take him over?"
"But Bian Wushuang has an excuse to kill Yang Zhi violated military orders like this?" Suqian was puzzled.
An Ruhai laughed: "Suqian, if you violate the law, can I kill you with just one knife?"
Suqian was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Of course not." An Ruhai asked and answered, "Your grade is already a general directly under the jurisdiction of the court. If I kill you at will, even if the show is confirmed, I will exceed the rules. Because now, you have the power of life and death in the hands of the emperor. I can catch you and imprison you, but what to do in the end depends on the capital. The same is true for Yang Zhi. But don't forget that the Qin government is now in charge of the hands of Deng Hong, the king of Kaiping. Do you think Deng Hong will kill Yang Zhi? This is the confidence that Yang Zhi dares to disobey his orders in front of the formation."
"The chaos in Qin has reached such a level. In order to take power, we can do so randomly!" Suqian laughed: "General, this is our blessing."
"It can be said that," An Ruhaidao, "We will not take much effort to recover the Luoying Mountains this time."
"What a pity, I can't kill and injure the Qin army." Suqian felt a little regretful.
"Yang Zhi, we don't kill him, but we still want him to retain a certain strength, but other people are not sure." An Ruhai looked at Jingjingguan in the night, "After taking out Jingjingguan, the army can attack separately as designed by General Duan Xuan. For some targets, we must completely annihilate them, Suqian, and we will burn them another fire."
Suqian nodded repeatedly, understanding it, "General, I understand. After taking down Jingjing Pass, we will attack Bian Wushuang's troops heavily, making Yang Zhi a little more arrogant."
"This is the case in the early stage. When it is almost the same, I will give Yang Zhi a heavy blow. You can't really beat Bian Wushuang to lose his strength." An Ruhai said: "I want to see, this time Qin will handle this matter like this? How can Deng deal with it?"
"Qin State is really interesting. No matter which dynasty or era, I understand that only one voice can be the master. Only in this way can the national strength be gathered and the top and bottom are united. Qin State has three voices, and even now, they still have two voices. No wonder over the years, although Qin State has strong soldiers and the fighting power that has changed from being shivered to the world, he can only hide in the West, and is so poor that he has never stopped."
"This is the reason for history, not something that can be explained clearly in a few words." An Ruhai smiled and turned around and walked back. "You can arrange the next thing. I'm going to go back to sleep. I still have to be prepared for the attack. If Yang Zhi dares to destroy Jingjingguan, then don't be polite. The army rushed forward and chased him. If Jingjingguan can fall into our hands intact, then let him go."
"I understand, General, tomorrow morning, I will invite General to go to Jingjing Pass for breakfast." Suqian smiled and bowed.
In Jingjingguanzhong, the last group of Qin troops were ready to go. Yang Zhi, who was riding on the horse, looked at the checkpoint that he had been stationed for two years with a complicated expression. He knew very well that he wanted to return to this place after leaving, but he didn't know when it was time to go. Once the Chu army occupied the Luoying Mountains, with their manpower and financial resources, they would definitely build Jingjingguan into a solid foundation, and things like those five years ago would never happen again.
"General Yang, don't you really destroy the gate?" the deputy general asked unwillingly.
"If we want to withdraw An An, please keep the well for An Ruhai." Yang Zhi shook his head, turned around and rode the horse, and left directly.
