The envoy of the Qin State followed Mi Tao to the gate of Shouchun City, and when leaving, the envoy took out a thing from his body and handed it to Mi Tao, and said to him: "The king holds this thing, if the king of Chu refuses to surrender after three days, when my Qin army breaks the city, this thing can keep the king safe." This is what the queen personally handed me before I left, and I was ordered to hand it over to the king. ”

Mi Tao saw that the envoy had given him a bronze token, and the word "king" was engraved on it with gold. Mi Tao knew that this was his daughter's intention, so he was not polite and put it in his arms. "Please rest assured that King Qin will definitely persuade the King of Chu to make him a vassal to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, of course, this is also for the sake of the people of my Qin State. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the king in the Qin army camp. ”

Mi Tao got out of the carriage, arrived at the city gate, showed the token of the king of Chu to the Chu army guarding the city, and said loudly: "Open the city gate." ”

The Chu army guarding the city gate looked at Xiang Liang standing on top of the city tower, and after receiving Xiang Liang's nod, the Chu army slowly opened the city gate. The carriage of the envoys of the Qin State drove out of Shouchun City under the eyes of many Chu troops and headed in the direction of the Qin army's camp.

"Uncle, why don't you kill this person?" Xiang Yu stood behind Xiang Liang, he hated the arrogant appearance of this envoy of the Qin State on the top of the palace hall, and he clearly regarded the ministers of the Chu State as his prisoners.

"Yu'er, these two countries have never been at war. What's more, if the envoy of the Qin State who beheaded this Qin State could let us defeat the Qin army, I wouldn't have to say that I would have already done it. Now what we can do is to see how the king thinks about it, and the father said that the king may consider surrendering to the king of Qin, so he has left a way to retreat, so let's wait for three days and see. Xiang Liang also said to Xiang Yu, he looked at Mi Tao standing downstairs at the city gate, this person also waved his hand to him, and then took his men away.

The carriage of the envoys of the Qin State arrived at the gate of the Qin army's camp, and after clarifying the identity to the Qin army at the gate, the carriage drove into the camp.

The carriage stopped in front of the tent, and Wang Qian, who got the news, led many generals under his command to greet him.

"The old minister Wang Jian greeted the king's envoy. "The envoy came directly from Xianyang City, and he didn't stay in the military camp before, so Wang Jian didn't know who Qin Wang Yingzheng sent to Shouchun City to be a lobbyist this time.

"Grandpa Wang, it's me, hurry up. Wang Jian heard a familiar voice, but he didn't remember who it was for a while.

When he looked up, he found that King Qin's envoy was actually Meng Yi, no wonder his voice sounded so familiar.

"Meng Yi, why are you?" Wang Jian was a little surprised, Meng Yi was a civil official and had never been on the battlefield, how could Yingzheng send him as a lobbyist this time, what if the King of Chu was angry and killed him.

Wang Jian welcomed Meng Yi into the tent, and only after asking did he know what was going on. It turned out that King Yingzheng of Qin drove to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, because Yingzheng was born in Handan and left many bad memories there. In order to ensure the safety of this trip, Ying Zheng hoped to let Meng Tian lead the Meng family army under his command to accompany him. Just in time for Wang Jian to want to know Yingzheng's handling of the capital of Chu, Meng Yi volunteered, became a lobbyist, came to Chu to lobby, and then went to Handan with his brother.

After talking to Wang Jian for a while, Meng Yi never saw his eldest brother, so he asked Wang Qian: "Grandpa, where is my eldest brother? Why didn't you see him?"

Wang Jian said: "Meng Tian led the army on the other road, and he was in charge of the north gate of Shouchun and the city gate in the east direction, so he was not here. But don't worry, I've sent someone to tell him that you're here, and it won't be long before you two brothers can meet. ”

"Thank you Grandpa Wang, it also saved me the effort to run. ”

In the evening, Meng Tian rode to the Qin army camp where Wang Jian was sitting, and wanted to meet with his younger brother Meng Yi. Three months have passed since this attack on Chu State, and Meng Tian misses his wife and son Xiao Tianci a little. 187

If Ying Zheng wants to go to Handan, it will take many days of preparation, so Meng Tian still has a lot of time. Meng Tian planned to defeat Shouchun City and then wave his army north, and fight with Yingzheng in Handan City, and the time was still in time.

The morale in the camp of the Qin army is high, because the attack on the Chu State will leave the capital of the Chu State has not yet been defeated, as long as this city is defeated, then the rest of the Chu State will definitely fall to the wind, avoiding a lot of unnecessary casualties. Therefore, the Qin army must win the battle of Shouchun.

The Chu people also know this, and now the only remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu army have been gathered in Shouchun City, and the Shouchun City is guarded tightly, and the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army is outside, and the soldiers of the Chu army standing on the city wall from afar can smell the fragrance of rice wafting from the Qin army's barracks.

"What did you say Qin Jun ate today? This smell is so good!"

"Who knows, Qin Jun is better, he eats such a good meal every day, we only have green vegetables and radishes every day, and my face is full of vegetables these days. ”

"Who said no, I heard that the Qin army sent an envoy to surrender to the king. Do you think the king will agree?"

"Actually, I hope that the king agrees to surrender, so that we can go home with my wife and children. ”

"Hey, what are you talking about when you gather there?" Xiang Yu led a few of his own soldiers around him to inspect the city wall, and saw a few soldiers whispering together.

Xiang Yu's fiery temper was famous in Xiang Yan's army, and almost all soldiers would walk around when they encountered Xiang Yu, even if there was anything to report to Deputy Marshal Xiang Liang. Seeing Xiang Yu coming over at this time, several Chu soldiers closed their mouths, not daring to say another word.

Xiang Yu walked up to these people, and he asked, "What were you guys doing here just now?"

"Back to ...... Back to the words of the major general, the villains were just talking about some common things just now, and they didn't say anything else. A slightly older Chu Bing stood up and replied.

Xiang Yu looked at these Chu soldiers, everyone lowered their heads, and he said: "That's good, don't let me hear anything that disturbs the hearts of our army, otherwise General Ben will definitely not be able to spare you." Go back to your place. ”

Several Chu soldiers ran back to their original positions in a panic and were on duty wholeheartedly.

Xiang Yu led the Qin soldiers on the city wall, although he was young, he had been with his grandfather and uncle for so many years, and he had spent a lot of time in the barracks, and he also understood that now the Chu army was really at the end of the mountain. Whether it is his grandfather Xiang Yan or his uncle Xiang Liang, what they are doing now is just doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven, and they can only soothe each other with good words for these Chu soldiers who have no morale, while their morale is sluggish and they are defeated without a fight.

Xiang Yan returned home from the barracks, and before he could sit down, a government soldier came in to report that Chang Wenjun was visiting.

Chang Wenjun has been stranded in Shouchun City since he rebelled from Qin and fled to Chu when Li Xin and Meng Wu attacked Chu last time. When the Qin army surrounded Shouchun City, he finally realized what a wrong thing he had done, he knew that he could not escape, and after three days, regardless of whether the king of Chu was willing to abandon the city and surrender, he Chang Wenjun was definitely the first person to be killed by the Qin army, because he caused the Qin State to suffer defeat, not only killed 100,000 Qin troops, but also killed the general Meng Wu. This time, the leader of the troops happened to have Mengwu's son, and he was a dead end anyway.

At this time, he thought of Xiang Yan, when he promised Xiang Yan to rebel against Qin, Xiang Yan had promised him one thing, and now he came to Xiang Yan, hoping that Xiang Yan could fulfill his promise and save his life.

"Chang Wenjun, what is he doing here, go and invite him in." Xiang Yan said.
