Not caring about Kongjia and Gwaiji on the side, Zhao Lang frowned and asked
“What are the casualties of the Qin army!!!”
Now although the Qin army only has 60,000 to 70,000 men, this is where nearly half of the border army, the border army of Liaodong is going!
Otherwise Goguryeo could not have crossed the Great Wall.
The Qin army now had crossbows, which were extremely powerful.
Even if Xiang’s allied army had hundreds of thousands of troops, it would not be possible to defeat the Qin army!!!
Not to mention the fact that the Qin army is now commanded by Meng Yi!
Although the opponent was a civil official, his art of war was not bad either.
Had he not been worried about security and not allowed the Qin army to use black gunpowder, there would not have been any problem in taking out a couple of thousand pounds of black gunpowder from the Qin army.
Therefore, what he had been considering was how to crush the Xiang allied army with relatively low casualties.
Then recapture the whole territory of Chu.
Nu returned at this time and said.
“Master, the information has been sent in a hurry, only a few sentences, detailed information, still have to wait a day.”
This was the way to deliver urgent messages.
The main purpose was to deliver the information first, so that the master knew what was happening, and the detailed information would be delivered by a second wave of people who would collate it.
Zhao Long suppressed the irritation in his heart, there was no use in being anxious now, and after thinking about it, he asked, again
“That may say the direction of the Qin army’s retreat.”
The slave thought for a moment and returned.
“The messenger said that the Chu army attacked at night and the Qin army retreated in the north in defeat.”
“To the north?”
Zhao Lang frowned slightly, he was not particularly familiar with the various counties of the Great Qin.
At this time, Kongjia, who was on the side, said
“North of Dingtao is Julu County.”
“Julu!?”
Zhao Lang’s heart jolted! Evenly, he said.
“Bring the map!”
Soon, the slave brought out a simple map of the Great Qin counties.
After looking at the map, of course, when Zhao Lang saw that between Julu and Dingtao, there were three rivers of different sizes, including the Yellow River, he understood something in his heart, and
Smiling bitterly, he said.
“Shangqing Meng’s appetite is also too big!”
At this point the others were still dumbfounded, and Hu Hai, who could not resist long ago, said that
“Brother Long, what exactly happened? Did Shangqing Meng and the others really lose? Then isn’t Xianyang in danger?”
Zhao Lang was just about to voice his suspicions, but after looking at Hu Hai, he thought it would be a good opportunity to do the same.
Putting the map directly in front of the other party, he nodded at the winding curve on the map that represented the river and said that
“Our army has been defeated and retreated to Julu, how will you respond next?”
Hu Hai said, with a glare in his eyes
“How else can I respond? Call for help!”
Zhao Lang gritted his teeth and gave Hu Hai a direct brainbuster, then said that
“Don’t you notice that there are too many rivers here?”
Hu Hai took another look and nodded his head, saying
“Yes! Hey, the Shangqing Meng is also panicking, there are so many rivers, it’s not easy to run!”
“Why don’t you run towards the Hangu Pass?”
For things like running away, Hu Hai thought he still had a few tips.
Of course, the answer to his question was, two brain crashers.
On the contrary, it was the king of Wei, who came back to his senses and said that
“What Imperial Prince Hu Hai said is not entirely wrong, this river is numerous and it is indeed inconvenient to escape.”
“If the Qin army fakes defeat and then attacks the Xiang alliance, if Xiang is routed, then I’m afraid it will be difficult for these soldiers to even escape!”
Zhao Lang looked at Wei Wang Kou with a little surprise, not expecting the other party to actually see it, and nodded his head, saying
“Not bad, this is also my guess.”
The Qin army was defeated in an impossible situation, and then retreated in the most inappropriate direction.
It would be a hell of a thing to say there was nothing fishy in it.
Of course, these were all his guesses, and he could only be sure when the second wave of intelligence arrived.
But in any case, he could not stay in Liaodong any longer.
“Two teachers, my disciple has a lot of things to do, so I won’t stay much longer.”
After saying this, he walked towards the outside in an extremely dry manner.
The others also hurriedly followed.
Watching Zhao Lang’s back as he left, Kongjia revealed a smile and said to the ghostly figure at the side that
“How is this newly initiated disciple of yours?”
With a slight lump still in his heart, Ghost Valley said, pretending to be bashful
“Acting quite decisively, not bad at all.”
Kongjia, knowing that the other party was tough-mouthed, laughed a few times and said that
“It’s just a matter of time, you will stay well with the old man at the manor for the next few days, and then take out all the tomes of the Ghost Valley School and the Zongheng Family.”
Ghost Valley frowned and said.
“These canonical books are all our untold secrets, even if Zhao Lang is now a disciple of my Ghost Valley School, this canonical book cannot be passed on to the outside world!”
Kongjia laughed and said.
“Well, think of it this way for now, when the time comes for the hundred schools to flourish in the world, don’t turn back!”
“When you really ask to come in, this disciple of yours is not that easy to get rid of.”
Through the Luminous Academy run by Zhao Lang, the agriculturalists, the healers, the Mohists and the Confucians were all already teaching.
He also vaguely guessed the other party’s intentions.
In the future, the Hundred Schools of Thought were bound to flourish!
Hmph, when the time comes, the ghosts will not necessarily fit together when they go out behind closed doors.
Ghostly Valley also hummed proudly, how precious is the learning of the Ghostly Valley School?
And begging to get in, absolutely not!!!
At this moment, outside the manor, Zhao Lang was already reorganising his men, and he quickly commanded that
“Big Dog, you take 500 teenage soldiers and 4,000 peasants to follow.”
“I and the others will go to Julu first!”
The three thousand teenage troops were now credited with this battle in Liaodong.
It was by them that the front was stabilised, and they should have rested, but there was no time.
Two thousand were left by him at Goguryeo and five hundred at the Great Wall.
That was all he had, and with these peasants, it was barely enough.
They were not going to war anyway, but mainly to transport the crossbows and black powder from the village.
As for the troops, Han Xin still had an army of several tens of thousands of peasants there, which, together with the Qin army, should be enough.
Originally, I wanted to talk to Xiao Yu, but now it was out of the question.
Zhao Long did not hesitate to talk about this, as it would be better to wait until the world was settled.
“Let’s go!”
With a single order, Zhao Lang led his men towards this giant deer.
At this moment, Julu County City.
Meng Yi was standing at the head of the city, watching a group of Qin troops enter the city.
“Wang Li, what is the situation of the various ministries?”
Wang Li looked at Meng Yi and then returned, the
“Admiral Meng, after our army retreated in defeat as planned, most of them are on their way and will join up with us in the next day.”
“It is the sinful prisoner army at the back of the hall that has suffered heavy casualties.”
When Meng Yi heard this, his face was bland as he returned that
“No matter, tell those who survived the Sin Prisoners’ Army that their sins were all forgiven.”
“And tell Zhang Han to leave more ambushers at various places along the way.”
“Prepare for a great battle.”
Wang Li immediately took orders, but did not leave immediately, hesitated, or asked
“Shangqing Meng, why do we have to lose?”
Although they had encountered a night attack at Dingtao, they had no problem repelling the other side.
But Meng Yi ordered defeat and retreat!
But many soldiers were killed and wounded.
Meng Yi then looked in the direction of Ding Tao, thinking of the order given to him by the First Emperor to completely destroy the enemy army, before he slowly said.
“Because if we don’t retreat, we can’t wipe out the whole army!”
