"There is urgent information to see the king" As soon as the sky was hazy, a fast horse galloped from the southwest, trampling on dust.
The guards guarding the gate did not dare to stop them, and immediately opened the camp gate and put the scouts into the camp, and went straight to the front of Xiang Yushuai's tent before turning over and dismounting, kneeling on one knee and panting: "King Qiqi, we have discovered that Alexander has transported a batch of grain and grass from Babylon, about 300,000 stones, to be transported through the Camel Ridge to the front line of Shache City."
Even if he is in the army, Xiang Yu will get up early every day to practice martial arts, and at this moment, he has just finished washing up and is ready to carry the halberd out of the account, and when he heard the report of the scout, his spirit was lifted: "Oh, 300,000 stones, grain and grass Alexander actually transported so much at one time, is the news reliable?"
"Back to the king's words, I didn't dare to believe it easily after I got the news, so I spied all the way west towards Warsaw, the capital of Babylon, and sure enough, I found Babylon's army escorting grain and grass halfway."
The scout got down on one knee and reported.
Xiang Yu rubbed his hands and asked excitedly: "How many people and horses are escorted and how many carriages are loaded?"
The scout gasped and replied excitedly: "There are about 30,000 horses escorted, loaded with more than 3,000 carriages, winding like a long dragon on the road, stretching from east to west for seven or eight miles."
If he could rob Alexander of 300,000 stones, grain and grass, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the morale of the Babylonian army.
But Xiang Yu was not a reckless man like Lu Bu, and he was not carried away by the good news, and immediately sent his henchman Ji Bu to personally go west to verify the reliability of the information.
Ji Bu got the order, and immediately led dozens of elite horsemen to spy westward, and returned to Xiang Yu's camp at noon the next day.
When Xiang Yu learned of Ji Bu's return, he immediately summoned the generals Guo Kan, Xianzhen, as well as Pang Tong, Murong Ke and others to gather in the Shuai tent, "Ji Bu, you personally spy westward, whether the information that Alexander transported grain and grass from Warsaw City to the front line is true" Ji Bu took the big bowl handed by Lu Lingqi, drank a sip of water and moistened his throat: "If I go back to the king, I walked more than two hundred miles to the west, and sure enough, I found the Babylonian army transporting grain and grass.
Indeed, as the scouts had indicated, more than 3,000 wagons, escorted by 30,000 Babylonian troops, marched to the front and were expected to pass through Camel Ridge the following evening. ” Xiang Yu could not believe the scout's words, but he completely trusted Ji Bu's words, and immediately took the case: "Great, this time Lone must personally go out and burn Alexander's grain and grass to ashes."
Murong Ke, who was standing with his hands tied on the side, questioned: "King, Alexander transported about 100,000 stones of grain and grass before, why did he transport 300,000 stones at once this time, it seems a little strange."
Pang Tong on the opposite side immediately stood up and retorted: "At this moment, it is already the end of September, and it will be winter in half a month, maybe Alexander transported this lot of grain and grass at once in order to compete with the king to the end."
As the saying goes, it's not surprising that Alexander did this."
Xiang Yu agreed with Pang Tong's analysis: "What Pang Shiyuan said is extremely true, no matter what Alexander's purpose is, it is an indisputable fact that the Babylonian army is escorting more than 3,000 carriages towards the front.
As long as Alexander's grain and grass could be looted or burned, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the morale of the Babylonian army. ” Guo Kan also agreed with Xiang Yu's proposal: "As long as Alexander is short of food and grass, he will definitely give up the frontline position, and our army can follow the pursuit and take down all the land from the Sardinia Plain to the Laixi River."
"Ji Bu, Yang Yanhui, Xianzhen, and Vulture Bone listen to the order" Xiang Yu put his hands on the table and shouted the order.
"The Last General Waits for Orders" The vulture with a height of one foot and two feet was a head and a half taller than the others, and he was majestic and high-spirited and went out to obey orders with the other three.
"Each of the four generals will choose 15,000 soldiers and horses, and the king himself will lead 20,000 horses, a total of 80,000, and set out for Camel Ridge to set up an ambush, vowing to burn Alexander's grain and grass."
Xiang Yu chose the candidate for the robbery of grain and grass, leaving Guo Kan, Murong Ke, Shi Dakai, and Pang Tong to lead 70,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp in case of accidents.
Xiang Yu's troops reached 200,000 at their peak, but due to a year of fierce war with Alexander, it led to a decline in troops, and although Lu Wang recruited and replenished troops many times, he could no longer exceed 200,000.
In addition to the 150,000 horses on the front line, Lu Wang and Zhong Liwu, who are sitting in the rear, can also mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses, which is all Xiang Yu's belongings now.
With Xiang Yu's order, the 80,000 Great Xia army, under the leadership of Xiang Yu and his four generals, kept silent and picked up the bells, and quietly marched towards the camel ridge a hundred miles away under the cover of the morning mist, and was determined to succeed in this grain robbery operation.
In the east of Xiang Yu's camp, at the junction of the Anxi Empire and the former Kushan Empire and the current Han Empire, the rolling camps of the Eastern Han Dynasty were stationed here, and the 500,000 troops were all stationed on this fertile plain.
After capturing Peshawar, the capital of the Kushan Empire, in the spring of this year and capturing Yingzheng, Wu Qi preemptively imprisoned Caesar and sent Su Lie to pacify the entire Peacock Kingdom in one fell swoop.
At this point, not only the entire Kushan Empire, but also the Mauryan Kingdom in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula were all included in the territory of the Han Empire, and were set up as Guizhou by Liu Wei.
Xun Yu resigned as prime minister because of the posthumous affairs, and was immediately reinstated by Liu Wei and sent to Guizhou to serve as the assassin.
Xun Yu took He Shen, Xu Jing, and Hua Xin to lead more than 5,000 craftsmen, blacksmiths, medical craftsmen, carpenters and other craftsmen to leave Jiangdong and march towards Guishan, and met Yingzheng, Caesar, Fusu, Li Si and others who were escorted to Jinling for trial.
Xun Yu admired Li Si's ability to govern the country, coupled with the chaos in Guishan's country, and he needed the help of Li Si, who knew the roots, to sort it out, so Xun Yu decided to leave Li Si to help him govern "Guizhou".
Anyway, the emperor only asked to escort Yingzheng and Caesar back to Jinling, and the others were not specifically specified, so the former prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty had this power.
With the assistance of Li Si, Xun Yu put the local governance in an orderly manner after arriving in Guizhou, and worked closely with the neighboring Taizhou Thorn Shi Shang Ying and Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Wang Shouren to build roads and bridges, reclaim fertile land, and popularize agricultural technology, which made this land change with each passing day.
And ensured that the food and grass of Wu Qi's army were heavy, and the armor and weapons did not have any worries at all, and they could concentrate on the front line to keep an eye on the Rest Empire.
Although it is far away from the Han Dynasty, there are Shang Ying, Xun Yu, Li Si, Wang Shouren and other capable officials to provide logistical support, He Shen, Xu Jing, Hua Xin, Xin Ping, Lu Fan, Wu Jing, Sun Yi, Xue Ji and other talents to run and serve, as well as various craftsmen brought from the Han Dynasty, as well as advanced technologies such as iron smelting, forging, agriculture, medical treatment, papermaking, printing, etc., coupled with the Kushan Empire and the population of nearly 10 million people in the Indochina Peninsula, Wu Qi's support is far beyond Xiang Yu and Alexander, Wu Qi has not made a move.
Just waiting for an opportunity When the sun rises, hundreds of thousands of troops practice together on the plain, shouting and killing one after another, swords and swords, covering the sky and the sun, waving flags, magnificent.
Wu Qi was inspecting the army surrounded by generals, and suddenly a sentry came to report: "Governor Qiyu, there is a Han man who claims to have come from Xiang Yu to defect, and he has something important to tell him, but he doesn't know how to deal with it."
"Oh, the Han people under Xiang Yu's command quickly brought the handsome tent to see me" Wu Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, and immediately turned his horse back to the camp, preparing to personally meet this guy who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light".
A moment later, the Han man who came to defect was taken by the sentry to Wu Qi's handsome case, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The villain Liu Ye, who served under Uncle Liu Huang and served as the commander of the tun, later followed Shi Yi, a traitorous thief, to the Western Regions to defect to Xiang Yu.
As many years passed, the villain missed his hometown more and more, so he quietly escaped from the camp to join the governor.
I also hope that the governor will forgive the villain's crimes and allow me to return to Dahan to reunite with my family for the sake of the villain's true traitor. ” "Treason and thief, this is a great rebellious sin" Wu raised his hand to stroke his beard and threatened in a deep voice.
The guy who called himself Liu Ye continued to kowtow and beg for mercy: "The villain also knows that he has committed a serious crime, so he doesn't dare to vote."
This time, I dared to come to see the governor only after getting important information, and I am willing to atone for the important information."
Wu Qi bowed slightly: "Bring your intelligence report, if it is really useful, the governor can be extrajudicial and forgive you not guilty" Liu Ye was overjoyed, and immediately told Wu Qi that Alexander had transported 300,000 stones of grain and grass from China to the front line, and Xiang Yu led 80,000 horses to Camel Ridge to rob grain.
Wu Qi ordered his own soldiers to temporarily imprison this Liu Ye, and then deal with it after verifying this information, and immediately summoned the deputy marshal Su Lie, as well as all the civil and military forces above the miscellaneous general under his command to come to the commander's tent to discuss countermeasures.
In a short time, including the deputy marshal Su Lie, the two strategists Fu Zhu and Kuai Yue, and the generals Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, Yang Yansi, He Yuanqing, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang He, Shang Shifu, Zhang Han, Yang Zhi and others all came to the Shuai tent and waited for the dispatch on both sides.

Wu Qi first said the information he obtained, and then glanced at the civil and military forces present: "Xiang Yu has already sent troops to Camel Ridge, and his eyes are on the Babylonian army escorting grain and grass, he must be negligent in taking precautions, now is an opportunity to hit Xiang Yu from behind by surprise, how do you think you should make a decision?"
Kuai Yue got up and arched his hand: "Now Xiang Yu is still fighting with Alexander, if we send troops to attack Xiang Yu, it will definitely break the confrontation between the two countries, we must act cautiously." ” "Yes, I heard that Xiang Yu had the courage of the overlord of Western Chu back then, and he must not be underestimated" Frustrated and stroked his beard, expressing worry.
Wu Qi suddenly laughed loudly: "Haha, even if he Xiang Yu is the overlord alive, but I, Wu Qi, am not Liu Bang, how can I be easily defeated by him I waited for too long for this opportunity, this time we must let Xiang Yu try the power of the tactics of the sea of people, and the 500,000 army will come out together to eradicate Xiang Yu and Alexander in one fell swoop." t1706231537:
