In Shouchun, the new king of Chu State, Huang Xie's hands trembled, looking at the latest information he had just gotten in his hand.

Jingyang sent someone to deliver the letter, but he told him an extremely absurd thing, Bai Qi took the initiative to release those captives of the Chu State. When Chun Shenjun first saw the news, he thought that Bai Qi was crazy, and these hundreds of thousands of captives returned to the Chu State, and they could immediately organize into a large army to continue to resist the Qin people, but when Jingyang told him that these people had already turned their hearts to the Qin people, had no fighting spirit, and they were about to collapse at the first touch, and even almost caused a commotion in the Chu army, Chun Shenjun instantly understood Bai Qi's thoughts.

Chun Shenjun looked at the bamboo slips placed beside him, Ma Fujun's book, of course he had also read it, this is what Ma Fujun said about ideological warfare? A righteous army will prevent the enemy from aiding and abetting by forgiving the enemy for his mistakes.... Huang Xie laughed, Qin people? A teacher of benevolence? It's a little ridiculous to think about, when will those executioners who only have the heads of the enemy in their eyes be called the teachers of benevolence and righteousness?

Jingyang's solution to these people was simple and rude, and he directly put them back... Let Chun Shenjun solve it, which made a layer of cold sweat break out on Huang Xie's forehead. Jingyang is not kind to do this, these hundreds of thousands of people have returned to their hometowns to advocate the Qin State, which will obviously cause a greater crisis, not to mention, he only recently publicized the tyranny of the Qin army, and told the Chu people that those captives were dead.

Now that they are back alive, this will make the Chu State lose credibility among the people, and the propaganda of those captives will spread faster throughout the Chu State, Huang Xie rubbed his forehead, but he can't blame Jingyang, if Jingyang doesn't do this, with an army that surrenders when it encounters the Qin people, or escapes, how can Jingyang protect the Chu State?

Huang Xie quickly thought about how to solve these things, the first thing to do was to take away the folk "Ma Fu Shu", and no longer let this idea continue to circulate, in addition, he could use various universities to attack Ma Fujun's thoughts, as for those captives... Huang Xie squinted his eyes, and he also had his own plans in his heart.

Things are just as Huang Xie thought, before the captives returned, because Huang Xie had already concluded that they were dead, so their families had mourned for them, and the wives of the family remarried... The captives returned home in a hurry, but what they saw was such a scene, and they were very angry, when the family said: "The government said that you have been killed by the Qin people." Their anger exploded.

In just half a month, rebellions broke out in six county towns in the state of Chu, and some returning soldiers were arrested by officials for inappropriate remarks, and then killed officials and rebelled... Fortunately, Huang Xie made preparations in advance, arranged troops in various places, and quickly suppressed rebellions in various places. The hearts of the people of Chu were shaken, and everyone was talking about the benevolent government of the Qin people, the great unification of Ma Fujun, and the deception of the king of Chu against them.

Close to Nanjun, in several cities of Nanyang County, there was a defection of the people, and a large number of people fled to Qindi, the officials of Chu State were extremely frightened, and the county guards of Nanjun and Nanyang County almost fainted, what is the state of benevolence and righteousness? can make the Chu people who are most attached to their homeland abandon their hometown and flee to themselves, this is the state of benevolence and righteousness! The local officials hurriedly reported these things to Xianyang.

At the same time, the county guards of these two places also ordered to treat these Chu people well, gave them arable land, and even exempted them from forced labor for one year... Huang Xie couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly started his own plan. Abuse of Huang Xie began to appear everywhere, and when the king wanted to ransom the captives from the Qin people, it was Chun Shenjun who concluded that these people were dead and refused to redeem them, and disobeyed the king's orders because of this.

These are all the faults of Chun Shenjun, and the king should punish him and remove him from his official position.

With the continuous spread of this kind of remarks, everyone's anger quietly shifted from the king of Chu to Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun's disciples left one after another, no longer willing to serve him, and Chun Shenjun's large courtyard, which could accommodate hundreds of people, became empty because of this. There are also several sages of the Chu State who attacked Zhao Kuo's doctrine, thinking that the great unification he talked about was to let one country enslave other countries, and the Chu people would never be slaves!

There was incomparable turmoil in Chu, and it was at this time that the envoy of the Qin State finally came here.

The king of Chu and Chun Shenjun summoned the envoy of the Qin state alone. The envoy was not very old, it was a young man, and after entering the palace, he did not have much respect on his face, but proudly saluted the king of Chu and Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun asked with bad intentions: "You came to Shouchun the day before yesterday, why did you come to see the king today?" Could it be that you came to the state of Chu and had another mission? ”

The envoy smiled and said: "I am just too tired, so after resting for two days, I set off from the Qin State to meet the king, but the king's frame is driving too fast, from Chendu all the way to Shouchun, I am too tired to catch up all the way." ”

The King of Chu was immediately furious, and Chun Shenjun's face was not very good-looking, but he just looked at him coldly.

Only then did the envoy say the reason why he came here, the king of Qin was benevolent and righteous, and he did not want to see the people of Chu displaced, and saw the soldiers of Chu die on the battlefield, hoping to stop the war with Chu and negotiate peace between the two sides. The King of Chu still didn't speak, just looked at Chun Shenjun, Huang Xie thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "This is a good thing, since the King of Qin is benevolent and righteous, and wants to end the war, then he should negotiate peace with all the countries, and I will send someone to inform the monarch of the Three Jins." ”

The envoy shook his head and said, "The State of Zhao and the State of Wei have already agreed to the king's request for peace, but only the State of Chu has not yet negotiated, which is why I came here." ”

Huang Xie pointed at the messenger and shouted angrily: "You are lying! The Qin State wants to make the Chu State betray its allies! What a nation that does not speak of faith! ”

The envoy was still very calm, and he said: "If you are not willing to negotiate peace, then please continue to send more troops to fight with Wu Anjun, because the soldiers of the Qin State have not obtained enough military merits because of the order of the king, so they are eager to enter the royal capital of the Chu State and exchange your head for a title." The King of Chu couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up suddenly, but Huang Xie stopped the King of Chu, and there was no longer anger on his face, he just asked with a smile: "My head, what kind of title is it worth?" ”

"Rank 4, 100 gold, 20 good horses."

"Is a head as beautiful as mine worth so much?"

The envoy was dumbfounded and could no longer speak, Huang Xie waved his hand, which allowed the warriors to take him out, but did not let them kill the envoy, and after the envoy left, Huang Xie said to the king of Chu with a wry smile: "Great king, this person came with the determination to die, so he is not afraid." Negotiation of peace is Fan Ju's strategy, if we negotiate peace, the alliance strategy of Chu will be destroyed... But if we don't accept the peace... Chu... Alas. ”

Huang Xie sighed for a long time, and then said: "This is all my fault, I have prepared the food used by the army in advance to deal with the threat of the Qin State, I mistakenly thought that the purpose of the Qin State would be the Three Jins, I didn't expect them to attack the Chu State on a large scale..."

"Please don't say that, you took all the blame... This made the widow very guilty. At that time, Huang Xie persuaded him to move the capital and not to engage in a full-scale war with Qin, Chu should accumulate more war reserves, but the king of Chu was angered by Qin's provocation and insisted on going his own way, and Huang Xie had to prepare for a full-scale war with Qin.

And now, all the charges have been borne by Huang Xie himself, more and more people in the country scold him, there are often drunk nobles blocking the door of Huang Xie's mansion and insulting, and most of his customers have left, thinking that Chun Shenjun is not a person worthy of loyalty, the king of Chu just feels that he is ashamed of Huang Xie, if he listened to him at the beginning, he can temporarily retreat, maybe it will not be so.

Huang Xie originally had his own strategy, first to form an alliance with the countries, and then it should be to destroy the Lu State, capture more land, to enhance the power of the Chu State, pay attention to agriculture, accumulate a large amount of food, weapons, and train the people, before crusading against the Qin State with the other countries, and giving the Qin State a heavy blow.

Huang Xie smiled, waved his hand, and said to the King of Chu: "Please don't say that, I can die for you." What's more, these things now are because of my fault, if I make the Chu State strong, I won't let you suffer such a shame...", Huang Xie didn't say anything more, he didn't want to talk about these things, he frowned, thought for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Still can't negotiate peace." ”

"Although continuing the war will cause the state of Chu to suffer even greater losses... But if the allies are put aside to negotiate peace alone, it will completely destroy the strategy of the Chu State. Negotiation of peace now, in the short term, is of course a good thing, but in the long run, if the state of Chu encounters the attack of the state of Qin again, because of the choice now, there will be no country willing to come to the aid of the state of Chu, I will continue to prepare materials, reinforcements to Jingyang, the state of Chu cannot negotiate peace!! ”

King Chu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Please cut off my food... As punishment for me... Also, please reprimand me in public. Huang Xie said seriously: "If the state of Chu does not accept the peace, the war-weary and food-hungry people will definitely be dissatisfied, you can reprimand me for these things... Let them think that I did all these things, and let them resent me and not the country. ”

..........

At this moment, Jingyang has already retreated to Chendu, and several partial divisions have retreated to the rear, Qin's continuous attack, the two sides broke out in several cities, Chu lost more and won less, the defense line was precarious, Jingyang could only continue to shrink the defense line, stubbornly resisted, Bai Qi could no longer advance as quickly as before, however, Qin still maintained an advantage over Chu, and Chen Du almost became a lonely city.

It is like a reef standing alone on the shore, constantly meeting the impact of the waves, but it does not move.

This city, as if guarded by the heroic soul of General Xiang Xian, the Chu army stood on the city wall, Jingyang personally sacrificed the soldiers of Chu who died here, and then began to deal with the siege of the Qin people, and attacked for three days, but failed to capture this city. In the place where Xiang Xian stood in the past, Jingyang stood like him, and the figures of the two people gradually merged together, and with the same roar, they lifted the soldiers of the Qin State high and threw them off the city wall!

The war on the side of Chu is still going on, and the war on the party is a little incomprehensible.

Qin experienced several defeats in Shangdang, Wang Ling was not Wei Wuji's opponent, or rather, Wang Ling's soldiers were too few, Shangdang was not occupied by Qin for a long time, and it had not yet reached the point where the whole people could fight to the death for Qin, Wang Ling could only reluctantly defend, he gave up some cities, and repeatedly asked for reinforcements from King Qin, Meng Wu at this time, has also approached Shangdang.

However, what Meng Wu didn't expect was that Wei Wuji judged the path he wanted to choose when he came to Shangdang, and actually set up an ambush on the way and gave Meng Wu a blow to the head, Meng Wu fought to the death and did not retreat, relying on the strong resilience of the Qin army, he was stunned to the rescue of the royal tomb, Wei Wuji then evacuated and retreated into the city, and Wei's reinforcements also entered the Shangdang area and joined forces with Wei Wuji, and the two sides began to fight in Shangdang again.

Both sides are waiting for their own reinforcements, in terms of troops, Wei Wuji still occupies some advantages, but the Qin State has sent reinforcements again, Wei Wuji's advantage in troops can not be maintained for too long, because of Wei Wuji's several heavy losses, Wang Ling chose to defend the city, waiting for Wu Anjun's arrival, Wu Anjun is fighting in the Chu State The Chu people are losing and retreating, as long as Wu Anjun kills the Chu people and comes to Shangdang, then Wei Wuji is not afraid.

Just after the two sides fought for a while, Jingyang took the initiative to abandon Chen Du and retreat to Juyang because of the large casualties and the harassment of the logistics road by the Qin State... And Bai Qi once again entered the capital of Chu State. After entering the national capital, Bai Qi took a rest, and then attacked again with a partial division and continued to advance in the Chu realm, while he was the commander of an army transferred to Korea.

This scared King Han enough, and King Han hurriedly asked for rescue from all countries.

Wei Wuji because of the Wang's Mausoleum, he couldn't find a breakthrough in Shangdang, and confused Wang Ling with a lot of cooking smoke, but he secretly took the main army into South Korea, at this moment Bai Qi has captured a lot of cities in South Korea, just on the road to Xinzheng in Bai Qi, suddenly encountered Wei Wuji's main army, Wei Wuji was extremely happy, finally, he successfully ambushed Bai Qi!

However, Bai Qi's superb command art did not let him suffer too much loss, and then, he and Wei Wuji confronted in South Korea, and the people of South Korea once again ushered in a disaster, fleeing in all directions, Wei Wuji and Bai Qi fought many times, because of the great advantage in troops, it was actually a mutual victory and defeat with Bai Qi, and repelled Bai Qi several times, and Wang Ling only knew at this time that Wei Wuji actually rushed to South Korea with the main force, which made him angry.

He hurriedly led his troops to reinforcements, but was ambushed by Wei Wuji's precision again, and Bai Qi's classic tactics were used by Wei Wuji so well, which made Bai Qi a little surprised.

At this moment, Jingyang also immediately launched a counteroffensive, and the frantic attack of the Chu army took advantage of Bai Qi's absence to force the Qin people to retreat to the Chen capital again, but this time, the people defending the city became the Qin people.

And Wang Ling, who experienced defeat again at this moment, was taken away from his identity as a general and was escorted to Xianyang.

Zheng Anping took his place and continued to lead the party army.

Bai Qi gave Zheng Anping a new order, ignore Wei Wuji in South Korea, and attack Zhao directly from Shangdang!

Zheng Anping was not excited about successfully taking over Wang Ling's position, he was very scared, because he saw the fate of Wang Ling, and saw with his own eyes that Wang Ling was put into a prisoner car because of repeated defeats, and the battle damage was greater than beheading. Perhaps, it's time to get some heads... so as not to fall into the same situation as the royal tomb.
