Chapter 22: Repay Others with Their Own Methods
After hearing Hu Hai's question, Wang Li quickly said,
"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, our army now has 20,000 elite troops and 30,000 servants."
"Most of the sergeants are in good condition. Only some of the sergeants who came from the North are a bit acclimatized,"
"But with the doctor taking care of him, it's not a serious problem."
"The weapons of each department are well preserved, and there are no problems with the craftsmen accompanying the army."
"It's just that the consumption of each firearm will be relatively large at that time, and raw materials need to be found in time."
This is a long-distance expedition and they cannot carry too many supplies.
Otherwise, transportation would be difficult.
Wang Li briefly explained the situation of the entire army, and then looked at Hu Hai aside.
But he found that the other party didn't seem to listen to his words, but was thinking about something absently.
So he shouted,
"His Royal Highness Prince Fu?"
Hu Hai finally came back to his senses, oh oh oh a few times, and then said,
"Is that good or bad?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then said dryly,
"Everything is fine."
Hu Hai suddenly smiled and replied,
"That's good. Okay, remember to make it simpler next time."
How could he care about so many details?
When Wang Li heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but look at Hu Hai with a slightly resentful look.
You have to ask it yourself, and now you think I have said too much.
Of course, he would not express it. He has been following General Meng Yi in the south these years.
I have also learned a lot about this way of being a minister.
So he smiled and said,
"My subordinates were negligent. It must be simpler next time."
Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction, complimented the other party casually, and was about to say something,
At this time, a messenger hurried over and said,
"General, our army has received news from King Han."
After saying this, he took out a document. When they heard this, Hu Hai and Wang Li couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, please take a look first."
Wang Li quickly said at this time that he would not look at it until the other party finished reading it.
Hu Hai waved his hand and said,
"Just read it first and then tell me."
He couldn't see too many details about this kind of intelligence thing anyway.
Besides, just leave these little things to the other party.
Wang Li then took the letter and quickly read it. Not long after,
He said with a slightly solemn expression,
"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, this is the latest news about the Chu army sent by King Han."
Naturally, they also collected news about the Chu army, but the journey was far away, and most of them were through caravans, etc., so the emphasis was somewhat different.
Now with this supplementary information and mutual confirmation, it will be much better.
Hu Hai asked quickly,
"Oh, how's it going?"
Wang Li replied,
"The current strength and other aspects of the Chu army have not changed much. It is just that the letter said that the Chu army has a place that is extremely heavily guarded. Even if they pretend to be friends, they cannot get close."
"Moreover, the Chu State seems to be in contact with the Huns."
They knew the basic situation of the Chu army, but it was a bit bad that such an unknown situation suddenly appeared.
But Hu Hai said nonchalantly,
"There's nothing surprising about this. Who doesn't have a secret yet?"
"When the time comes, when we get there, we can just use the Feitian Ink Lantern to investigate."
He is not nervous at all. They now have Feitian Mo Lanterns in the army, and they can break away from the ropes and move freely within a small area.
As long as you rise to a height that is beyond the reach of crossbow arrows, you can look wherever you want.
Coupled with the heartless artillery, the Qin army is invincible in positional battles.
So he was very relieved,
Wang Li did not take it lightly. Chu State had been established in that area for more than ten years.
He must have a certain level of strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control such a large place.
So the right way to deal with it is to be careful. This is what General Meng Yi has taught over the years.
Even if the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, how can he relax?
Of course, there was no need to argue with the other party at this time to avoid disagreement, so he smiled and replied,
"His Royal Highness Prince Fu said that these people are naturally nothing to worry about. We only need to deal with them a little bit."
Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the army had also arrived at the camp.
Everyone is busy,
Hu Hai went directly to his tent to rest, and Wang Li began to deal with military affairs. He was the commander-in-chief this time, and he wanted him to make his own decisions on everything.
After receiving the letter from King Han, he naturally wanted to reply. Such resources must be utilized.
Moreover, he also wanted to report some new information to His Majesty.
It's just that the journey is long, and it will probably take several months for Your Majesty to receive the letter and reply.
Today's Great Qin is really too big.
No wonder His Majesty said that this attack on Dachu was not to capture these places at once.
Instead, he forced the other party to start preparing to move.
Soon, Wang Li wrote a reply, and groups of messengers quickly left the camp.
Going in different directions.
Another month later, winter has already entered Great Qin, but the weather in New Chu Kingdom is still sunny.
Xiang Yu looked into the distance on the wall of the border city, where densely packed Chu troops were digging something on the flat ground.
Xiang Yu asked Xiang Zhuang on the side at this time,
"How's the digging going?"
Xiang Zhuang quickly replied,
"The digging is going very quickly. In more than a month, the area around the border town should be almost complete."
"It's just Overlord. If he digs so many holes and lays thunder, he will be easily discovered by the Qin army."
Xiang Yu smiled calmly and said,
"The method of digging holes to bury thunder is something I learned from the Qin army."
"Of course they will find out, but the more they do, the more we have to dig."
"They are buried in some places and not buried in some places. This will make the Qin army unstable and delay their attack. My goal will be achieved."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Over the years, the State of Qin has been paying attention to the movements of the State of Chu, so why shouldn't he?
He naturally knew that the Qin army used thunder to destroy the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.
Just take it and use it, naturally it will be fine.
This is also said in the book of war, repay the other person with his own way.
His books are not read in vain;
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said,
"The overlord is wise!"
With these holes, they will definitely hinder the Qin army's attack!
Unless the other party has the means to clean up on a large scale, they can only explore it step by step.
I have to say, this is indeed a good method!
Xiang Yu himself also showed a smile,
Now, he has prepared so many means, it depends on how the Qin army responds!
At this moment, a messenger hurried over and said,
"Your Majesty, I received a letter from the Han Kingdom. They have sent out a marriage team, and the title of Princess Lu Yuan is among them."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Liu Bang to be so fast.
The wedding team is already on the way,
So I came back soon,
"Send an urgent message to Long'er and ask him to prepare for it!"
(Princess Lu Yuan was originally the only recorded daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Empress Lu. She has been changed due to creative needs and time, so please do not go into details.)
