Chapter Ninety-One: Sun Wu Finally Arrives

After the Chu army captured Chencheng, Xiang Liang immediately sent scouts to Hucheng to explore, the scouts saw that the gate of Hucheng was closed, and there was no trace of defenders on the city wall, so they returned to Chencheng to report to Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang heard that the scouts came to report, and he couldn't figure out the situation in Hucheng, Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, had already returned to Yingdu to recuperate, and the three armies of Chu were all commanded by Xiang Liang at the moment, so Xiang Liang had to be cautious, the Wu army was losing troops and was weak, and the morale of the Chu army was rising, if you can't take advantage of this opportunity to recapture the lost territory in one fell swoop, there will be no chance for Wu to send a large army to come, Xiang Liang thought about it several times, and finally ordered the three armies to attack Hucheng。

The army of Chu then marched towards Hucheng, at this time Xiang Liang did not know that Sun Tian had retreated to Chongcheng, and when the Chu army arrived at Hucheng, Xiang Liang saw that Hu Cheng was as the scout said, there were no soldiers stationed on the city wall, Xiang Liang immediately ordered the former army to hit the city gate, did not want the former soldiers to be not blocked in the slightest, the siege hammer broke open the gate of Hucheng under the three collisions, Xiang Liang saw this, and then ordered the three armies to enter Hucheng, only to see Hucheng, the people were all closed, and there was no trace of Wu Jun, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and did not pursue Wu Jun for the first time, but missed the opportunity to annihilate Wu Jun in one fell swoop, at this moment Wu Jun was afraid that he would retreat all the way to Wu, Xiang Liang then ordered the three armies to go straight to the place of Shencheng.

When the Chu army entered the city of Shen as yesterday, and within two days, the state of Chu regained the cities of Hu and Shen one after another, and the soldiers of the state of Chu were all overjoyed, and Xiang Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to order the three armies to march to the city. I don't want Zhu Ying to say to Xiang Liang, "In the past three days, the soldiers of our army have been tired under the frequent running, if the Wu army did not retreat to Wu, but retreated to Chongcheng, our army will undoubtedly go to the mouth of the sheep, and I hope the general will think twice." ”

Xiang Liang heard Zhu Ying's words, and secretly blamed himself for being reckless, so he said to Zhu Ying, "Thank you, Mr. for reminding me, so the general will order the three armies to be stationed outside Shencheng, take a short rest, and then march to Chongcheng the next day, what does Mr. think?"

Zhu Ying saw that Xiang Liang was not carried away by the momentary victory, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Xiang Liang in his heart, so he said, "So very good", Zhu Ying saluted to Meng Weijun's guest grandson Sun Hong, "Now that my Chu State has captured four cities in a row, there has been a commander Lao leading the army to run with our army for several days, and the minister has not had time to thank the commander, and I hope that the commander will not blame"

This time, Meng Yanjun sent troops to help, although it was to form an alliance with Chunshenjun, but the Chu State was able to successfully regain the lost territory, which really depended on Gongsun Hong's troops, so Zhu Ying already felt for Meng Yanjun in his heart, and now there is nothing else to do, Zhu Ying wants to thank Gongsun Hong to appease Gongsun Hong's heart.

Gongsun Hong heard Zhu Ying's words, and his heart was also happy, the state of Chu regained the lost territory one after another, and the matter explained by the king had been achieved, and the soldiers of Xue Cheng had no casualties, which was even more gratifying.

Gongsun Hong then said to Zhu Ying, "Mr. is serious, this time the troops are all the will of the king, and the last general is just acting according to orders" Gongsun Hong's words reminded Zhu Yingmo that he had forgotten that Chun Shenjun should be under the order, but now that Xiang Liang was present, Gongsun Hong was inconvenient to say it clearly.

Xiang Liang heard Gongsun Hong's words, and then knew that the Qi State sent troops to help, which was the meaning of Meng Weijun of Qi State, and did not wait for Zhu Ying to say more, Xiang Liang first saluted Gongsun Hong and said, "Hearing the words of the commander, the general knows that the person who helped my Chu State is Meng Yanjun of Qi State, and I hope that the commander will see Meng Yanjun in the future, and convey the gratitude of my Xiang clan."

Gongsun Hong saw the prestige of the general of Chu that day, and his heart was also admired, and when he heard Xiang Liang's words, how could Gongsun Hong not like it, so he couldn't help but sigh at Meng Weijun's ability.

And at this moment, in the mansion of Chun Shenjun in the Yingdu of Chu State, Huang Xie was sitting in the front hall with his brows locked, and Li Yuan, the doorman standing next to him, saw the appearance of Chun Shenjun, and couldn't help but secretly suspect that the Chu army had come to the good news one after another, Huang Xie was quite sad at this time, but he was afraid that the war would change, Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Huang Xie, "I don't know why the king is worried" Li Yuan is cautious, and he is mostly flattering to the powerful on weekdays, and he rarely confides his true feelings in front of people, but Li Yuan, as a Chu person, knows that the current Chu State can no longer withstand the slightest difference, so Li Yuan has this question.

Huang Xie heard Li Yuan's words, couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Li Yuan is well versed in the way of observing words and colors, so although he is quite talented, but he has never been reused by Huang Xie, Huang Xie saw Li Yuan is also quite sad, and his heart can't help but treat Li Yuan differently, so he said to Li Yuan, "Since this monarch learned about the Qi country's war against Lu, he sent scouts to explore the land of Delu, and he didn't want to be defeated in Yingcheng yesterday

Li Yuan heard that it was not the Chu army that had changed, and his heart was a little relieved, but he couldn't help but have a puzzled look, and asked Huang Xie, "Even if the Qi State lost the war, I don't know why the king is worried" Huang Xie heard Li Yuan's words, and couldn't help sighing, so he said slowly, "The Qi State sent 300,000 Valu, and I don't want to be captured by the Wu army with 150,000 soldiers, and the rest of the 150,000 Qi troops were all killed, now you should know why this monarch is worried."

Li Yuan heard that the Qi State was defeated, and he couldn't help but gasp in his heart, but he was afraid that the Qi State would be seriously injured after this battle, and he would no longer be able to restrain the Wu State, and when the Wu army rested, he would definitely use troops against the Chu State again. Thinking of this, Li Yuan knew that Chun Shenjun was worried, but for a while, Li Yuan was at a loss for it.

Huang Xie saw Li Yuan's appearance, knew that Li Yuan had already understood the power, and immediately sighed, now that the Chu State has a revival trend, Huang Xie can not sit back and watch the Chu State be bullied by the Wu State again, so he ordered Li Yuan to pass the book Zhu Ying back to discuss.

Li Yuan heard Huang Xie's words and immediately took the order.

After Li Yuan left the front hall, he didn't want the housekeeper to receive a letter from Meng Weijun of Qi State, and presented it to Huang Xie in the hall.

And Sun Wu has arrived in Chongcheng with 5,000 guards at this moment, seeing that the Wu army is retreating to Chongcheng, Sun Wu can't help but be furious, Sun Wu immediately asked where Sun Tian, the soldier guarding the city, saw the arrival of the general, and his heart was settled, and the Wu army was in a panic for several days.

When Sun Wu heard that Sun Tian was now in the governor's mansion, Sun Wu immediately led his guards to the governor's mansion in Chongcheng.

In the governor's mansion, Sun Tian was discussing the defense with Chen Sheng at the moment, and he didn't want Sun Wu to enter the hall with an angry face, seeing his father's arrival, Sun Tian couldn't help but be happy, and then saw his father's angry face, and his heart was dark, Sun Tian immediately got up and knelt down in front of Sun Wu, and said quite bitterly. After the battle of Xiangcheng, the last general led the tiger and wolf to ride into Chencheng, and the last general led the army to garrison Chencheng to fight against the Chu army, but the commander of the last general was ineffective, resulting in a huge loss of 100,000 yuan for our army, and the last general implored the general to punish him."

Sun Wu had already learned about Chen Cheng's defeat from the soldiers, and seeing that Sun Tian had no intention of fighting at this time, he looked depressed, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart. I don't want to lose four cities in a row in a few days, plus the casualties of the Wu army in the first battle of Xiangcheng have exceeded 200,000, and the strength of the Wu country, such casualties are also painful, Sun Wu looked at the eldest son in front of him who had high hopes for him, and couldn't help but feel angry.

After retiring Chen Sheng and the others, Sun Wu also knew that this was not the opportunity to scold Sun Tian, so he couldn't help sighing, and then slowly said to Sun Tian, "You are the commander of the tiger and wolf ride, but this appearance is to live up to the teachings of your father."

Sun Tian heard Sun Wu's words, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, Sun Tian couldn't help but look at Sun Wuyan and said, "Father", but he couldn't say anything else.

When Sun Wu saw Sun Tian like this, his heart was also sour, but the current war was critical, if Sun Tian could not get out of the shadow of defeat, the combat strength of the tiger and wolf cavalry would definitely be sharply reduced, and the morale of the Wu army would also be weakened. If the Chu army attacked Chongcheng, the Wu army would have no chance of victory.

Although Sun Wu is known as the saint of soldiers, he is not omnipotent, and now there are less than 100,000 Wu troops defending the city, and if he wants to turn the tide of the battle, he can only rely on Sun Tian's tiger and wolf cavalry.

Sun Wudun held back his mind and said to Sun Tianyan, "You will rise up first, and tell the story of the first battle of Chen Cheng with this seat."

Sun Tian heard Sun Wu's words, so he stood up and told Sun Wu about the battle of Chen Cheng.

Sun Wu heard that Xiang Yan did not hesitate to use the power of the poor to shake the tiger and wolf, and he couldn't help but be stunned, after the inheritors of the divine power of the high-level giant beasts entered the realm of manifesting the gods, they would all comprehend the method of using the power of the giant beasts, and the power of the giant beasts could be used by mobilizing the divine power of the whole body, the inheritance of the divine power of the Xiang clan came from the high-level tiger giant beasts Qi Poor, and the poor was among the top five existences with Tianwu among the tiger giant beasts, and the power of the poor was even more powerful with the cultivation of Xiang Yan in the middle of the divine realm, but Sun Wu knew that the use of the power of the giant beast would also be counterattacked, so very few strong people in the Divine Realm would use this method, I didn't want Xiang Yan to be so strong, I was afraid that Xiang Yan's divine power cultivation would definitely fall after this battle, Sun Wu couldn't help but have a little respect for Xiang Yan in his heart.

And Sun Tianyan actually had 100,000 soldiers from other countries helping the Chu State, and when he heard this, Sun Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
