Fortunately, the winter in Chu was not cold, and even in the first month, the soldiers of Chu could march in a hurry without fear of the influence of the climate. Jingyang was anxious to return to the army to rescue Chen Du, so he accelerated the speed of the march, and those soldiers who had complained were silent after seeing the tragedy along the road, and the willingness to return to the army was even stronger than Jingyang, and their families were all behind them.

Especially those nobles who went out on the expedition, thinking that they would take away all the private guards, and their food was defenseless, their hearts were even more anxious, so after Jingyang gave the order to march quickly, the soldiers did not object, and rushed towards the direction of Chendu with all their might.

They fled with their food baggage.

Jingyang of course understands that those officials who did not resist the Qin people and accepted the appointment of the Qin people before were all killed by the Chu people who came back, and now that these people can stand here alive, it is obvious that they have accepted the appointment of the Qin people again, so it is reasonable for them to see their countrymen and flee. Looking at those Chu people who regarded themselves as enemies, their eyes were full of fear, and they knelt down to beg for mercy from themselves, Jing Yang was speechless.

At this moment, the words that Xiang Xian had said rang in his ears again: Please stop the officials from killing those people who were coerced by the Qin people. The Chu people are cornered, they will die if they resist, and they will die if they don't resist.... Jingyang regretted a little, at the beginning, maybe he should have followed Xiang Xian's proposal and not let the nobles come to take revenge. Jingyang's army only took a short time to pass through Shangcai and rush to the bank of the Rushui River.

In the cold winter, such a marching speed is incredible, of course, it can only be done in the warm state of Chu, if it is in the state of Zhao and Yan, if it is in the state of Zhao and the country of Yan, it is a murder of soldiers.

As long as you cross the Rushui in front of you, you can rush to Shangcai City, and then march to Anling, Yangcheng, and then to Chendu, but the problem is that Jingyang is a little afraid to cross the river, if Bai Qi sets up an ambush on the other side of the river, it will cause the end of the entire army of Chu State. On the one hand, Jingyang arranged manpower to find the ship, and on the other hand, he also sent scouts to the other side to inquire about the situation. The soldiers of the state of Chu were a little impatient, and the 300,000-strong army was stationed on the shore, and the tents were almost as long as Rushui.

Jingyang gradually calmed down, no matter what the situation of Chen Du is, as long as the army of Chu in his hands is still there, Chu State will not perish, Chen Du has fallen, you can change the capital, if the king of Chu has a misfortune, then you can also welcome a new king, but if these 300,000 soldiers are lost here, there is no hope for Chu State. After Jingyang calmed down, he quickly brought out all the basic strategic vision of a famous general.

He ordered 100,000 Chu troops to continue to be stationed in the coastal area of Rushui, to be prepared, and sent 50,000 soldiers to rush to the direction of Dengcheng in the north, stationed there, leaving himself a back road, from Dengcheng can directly go north into the territory of Korea, of course, you can also make a detour from here to reach Wei, and Korea and Wei are allies of Chu, without knowing the various parts of Chu, this will become an important backhand of Jingyang.

Subsequently, he dispatched 50,000 soldiers to be stationed in Shangcai to guard against attacks that might come from the back, so he ordered the deputy general to lead the remaining 100,000 people to quietly go south, cross the river from the south, cross the river from there, and get closer to Fanyang City.

If you encounter a small number of ambushes, the deputy general will lead an army of 100,000 people, you can completely defeat it, if you encounter a large number of troops, you can directly lead the rest of the 100,000 people to cross the river directly, attack on both sides, and disrupt the ambush of the other party, the best result is that the other party does not find that the partial division has successfully crossed the river, at this time, you can cross the river, deliberately hit the ambush of Bai Qi, and then let the partial division backstab Bai Qi, so as to defeat it.

No matter how bad it is, he can also take the rest of the troops north to rush to Korea through Dengcheng.

Jingyang made all the arrangements, and then, the army of Chu began to act, there were several nobles who refuted Jingyang's order, Jingyang directly executed them, and strongly suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction, and some generals said: Jingyang does not save Chen Du, he wants to establish himself as the king. This greatly disturbed the morale of the army, but Jingyang has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and he still has a lot of henchmen, which can help him firmly control the army.

The army of Chu began to act, but the battle situation was not optimistic, first of all, the scouts who went to the other side of the river, there was no trace, and no one came back alive to report, which made Jingyang completely unaware of the situation on the other side, until the rout in the direction of Dengcheng fled back, Xiang Xianfang was surprised to find that the original Bai Qi's ambush soldiers were not on the other side of the river, but in. On either side of him, he hurriedly led people south and rushed to support his own detached division.

And when he was in a round with the intact partial division, the Qi Burning in the northwest fell again, and the Qin soldiers who had been beaten by the Chu people lost their armor and fled into the Great Wall of Chu, took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the entire Chu army that remained in the Qi Burning was wiped out... The small force sent by the partial division to cross the river was also ambushed by the Qin, and Jingyang was besieged from three sides without even discovering that Bai Qi was there.

Jingyang gave up crossing the river, and the large army killed in the direction of Dengcheng, and finally, in the area of Lushui, Jingyang encountered the main force of Bai Qi, and the two sides started a big battle, the tired Chu army was not the opponent of the Qin army, Bai first used foot soldiers to attack the front, and when the two sides were fighting in a melee, they suddenly ordered the chariot troops to attack from the left flank of the Chu army, and the left flank of the Chu army was directly defeated, and the chariot divided the Chu army into dozens of pieces, and then, surrounded and annihilated.

The entire army of Chu collapsed, and Jingyang led less than 50,000 elite soldiers across the river and fled in the direction of Korea.

In this great battle between the Qin army and the Chu state, the Qin state beheaded nearly 100,000 people and captured 160,000 prisoners.

The Qin people cheered and celebrated their victory in this bloody land, and sat on the chariot with white eyes, but their eyes were fixed on the prisoners who were kneeling on the ground, frightened and angry, they were bound to each other, surrounded by Qin people with weapons, and pointed their spears at them, many of them were wounded and unable to move, and the Qin people also tied them separately according to their clothing, and definitely did not tie up the same private soldiers, or royal pawns, as for the generals of the Chu State, they had already been executed.

There were too many prisoners, because after being defeated, these Chu countries fled in all directions, and the chariots and cavalry of the Qin people quickly caught them, tied them to the chariots, and dragged them back to the camp tent, by this time, they were also half dead, and those who dared to resist were all executed, only those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy could stay alive, and the Chu people heard that the Qin people had previously released the captured Chu captives, so there were not many rebels.

Bai Qi looked at him coldly, and suddenly, he beckoned to Meng Wu, Meng Wu walked to his side, and Bai Qi said, "Let them go and dig a pit." ”

.......

Xianyang, royal palace.

After Fan Ju left, King Qin did not give the order as soon as usual, and he hesitated a little. The king of Qin sent two warriors, and soon, two nobles who rarely came here on weekdays followed the warriors in carriages. The person who came was a father and son, Yingyiren and his father, An Guojun Yingzhu. Yingzhu gasped and stepped out of the carriage, Yingyiren had already noticed him and hurried to his side, wanting to help him. extraordinary

Yingzhu looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Stranger..."

Yingzhu looked far weaker than King Qin, he coughed, got out of the carriage, and with the support of his son, walked towards the palace, Yingzhu became weaker and weaker, no longer able to straighten his waist, and his speech was a little intermittent, even his memory was not as good as before, he had recently been sick again, in such a cold climate, he should not go out, but King Qin summoned him, and he couldn't help but come.

Ying Yiren supported his father, and he was not angry because his father didn't recognize him, Ying Zhu gasped, walked forward step by step, and whispered to Ying Yiren: "You better let me go, if my father sees me like this, I will be scolded again... I can walk by myself..", Ying Yiren had no choice but to let go of his father, but he didn't dare to go too far.

Yingzhu said with a smile: "I still remember when you were just born, Xia Ji was very happy, you were too thin when you were born, many people said that you would not live to be an adult, at that time, your eldest father also came, he just glanced at you, and concluded that you would die, I was very angry, that was the first time I contradicted my father, and the only time, I thought he would punish me, but ah, he actually laughed at the time, and said that I finally began to look like him..."

Yingzhu chattered, Yingyiren listened carefully, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

King Qin sat on the top seat, his back was straight, and he was in good spirits, when he saw his son who walked up to him tremblingly and bowed to him, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, waved his hand, let him sit aside, Yingzhu sat down, and coughed violently, King Qin frowned, but did not reprimand Yingzhu in front of Yingyiren.

King Yingji of Qin, has three sons, the eldest son mourns the prince, when he was a proton in Wei, he died of illness in Wei ten years ago, and the third son died of illness in Shu two years ago, and now he only has the second son Yingzhu, however, Yingzhu is not young anymore, and he is sick. King Qin, who had already survived his two sons, was very worried that he would survive the last remaining son. Looking at Yingzhu's sick appearance, King Qin felt even more uncomfortable.

King Qin looked at Ying Yiren again, and then he spoke: "The widow called you here because he had something important to discuss with you. Then, he told the two people in front of him about Zhao Kuo's letter and Fan Ju's persuasion, and then asked: "What do you think?" Kill or release? Hearing King Qin's inquiry, Yingzhu coughed, but did not answer.

Ying Yiren looked at his father, and then at his eldest father, and King Qin said directly: "Don't be restrained, just say it." ”

Only then did Ying Yiren get up and said seriously: "Father, you should be killed." King Qin was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and asked, "Why do you want to kill?" Ying Yiren said seriously: "If you want to be the king of the world, you must get the Three Jins, the Three Jin are not the opponents of the Qin State, but the Chu State has been meddling in the affairs of the Three Jins, I expect that this battle is not to destroy the Chu State, but to weaken the Chu State!" ”

The more he spoke, the louder Ying Yiren's voice became, and the more excited he became, he clenched his fists and said seriously: "Only by killing the young Zhuang of Chu State, Chu State has no way to continue to meddle in the affairs of the Three Jin Dynasty, if Qin State wants to be the king of the world, it can only kill those young people who have the ability to resist Qin State through killing, leave their heirs, and let their heirs become Qin people!" The most important thing to kill is the nobles of various countries, only by killing them cleanly, can the Qin State be the king of the world! ”

"If you don't want to kill them, you can use them as slaves and scatter them all over the Qin State to build roads and dig channels!"

King Qin saw the strong warlike aura on him, if he was the king of Qin, he must be a decisive and iron-blooded king.... Killing all the nobles of all the countries, this is something that King Qin has to scruple about, but Ying Yiren said it so simply, but it is also a little courageous, King Qin nodded, and looked at his son with some disappointment, perhaps, he should directly pass on the throne to Yiren, instead of Zhu?

Yingzhu slowly raised his head, and he said, "Father, these people should be released." ”

"Oh? Why? King Qin asked, and Ying Yiren also looked at his father with some surprise.

"Leave them, ask for food, money, and ask Chu to redeem these captives... Because of the war, the state of Chu was short of food, and they did not have enough food to ransom these captives... If they take out the grain to ransom these captives, then we will take the grain of Chu and kill these captives, and if they have no food to ransom, then we will release these captives..."

"If you want to be the king of the world, you can't just kill it, otherwise, unless you kill everyone outside the Qin State, otherwise, hatred will definitely exist...", Yingzhu said, suddenly coughed again, he raised his head, looked at his father, and said, "What do you think?" ”

King Qin's eyes widened, looking at Yingzhu, and the same was true of Yingyiren on the side, he couldn't close his mouth.

King Qin looked at Yingzhu and Yingyiren, and suddenly laughed.

"Yes, yes!"

King Qin laughed loudly, very happy, he looked at Ying Yiren and said, "Ask your father for advice... Killing is not the best way. ”

"Yui!"

ps: The quality of the monarchs of the Qin State during this period is really high, and there is no mediocre one, and it directly opens a grade with the fools of the Six Kingdoms, and the current monarchs of the Six Kingdoms are also King Chu Kaolie, as for the others, hmm.....
