Hundreds of years ago, in order to attack the Chu State, the Jin State led the Central Plains countries to ally with the Wu State here. It was precisely because of that alliance that the state of Wu was officially linked to the Central Plains, and then received assistance from the Jin state in terms of economy, military and culture, and the national strength increased rapidly.

After that, a city arose in the place of the good way. After Huaiyin City, the original Huaibei governance office of the Yue Kingdom, was captured by the Chu State, Shandao City became the new governance of Huaibei of the Yue Kingdom.

Not long ago, the army of Chu entered the Huaibei region of Yue, and the entire Huaibei was in a state of panic.

Especially after the Chu army camped in the north of Shandao City, Shandao City was even more stormy.

For this reason, Shu Yi, the guard of Shandao City, who was left behind by Huaibei Shouwangxing, immediately ordered the recruitment of warriors, intending to wait for reinforcements.

It was not until today, when the king of Yue led the army back, that the tension in the city was slightly relieved.

However, soon the decisive battle between Chu and Yue broke out, and the nerves in the city suddenly tensed again.

However, because of the lack of strength in the city, he could not go out of the city to help, so the guard general Shu Yi could only continue to hold the city while sending people to investigate the battle situation.

After the outbreak of the war, Shu Yi stayed at the north gate all the time, wanting to know the results of the battle as soon as possible.

The battle situation continued to come from the north, and as a result, all kinds of unfavorable news came.

When the sun set in the west, another scout hurried back.

After seeing the scout, Shu Yi hurriedly asked: "How is the battle situation now, has the king broken through, and in addition, is there any news of General Wang?" ”

When the scout heard this, he immediately cried and said: "Back to the general's words, our army was defeated, the king and the general were all killed, and the remaining tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops have surrendered to the Chu army." ”

"What? The king and the general were all killed in battle? ”

"The general is dead?"

The former sentence was said by the general, and the latter sentence was said by the surrounding soldiers.

There was no doubt that the news brought back by the scouts was like a thunderbolt from the sky, almost knocking them unconscious, and they didn't react to the half-ring.

Stunned, Shu Yi remembered Wang Xing's various favors to him in Huaibei, not only promoted all the way to the general, but also handed over the heavy responsibility of staying in Huaibei to him after leading the army to the battle.

Then, suddenly showing a look of disbelief, he suddenly drew his sword, put a sword across the scout's shoulder, and said sharply: "Do you know that lying about the military situation can be punished!" ”

The scout was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed again: "General, I don't dare to lie about the military situation, this matter is true, if there is half a lie, I am willing to die." ”

Shu Yi asked again: "Is this true, did the king and the general really die in battle?" ”

The scout nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Shu Yi's whole body stiffened, and she muttered in disbelief: "How is this possible." The king led an army of 150,000 troops, and it was only half a day, how could he die in battle? ”

"Back to the general!" The scout said sadly: "It is reported that the Chu people used despicable means to assassinate the king before the war, so that my Vietnamese army was leaderless and could not take care of each other. Then the rebel general Gongsun Hai defected in the battle, killing the king and surrendering. Therefore, our army was defeated, and even the king collapsed in battle. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with grief and indignation, and in addition to the despicable anger of the Chu people, they also hated Gongsun Hai, who killed the king of Yue.

"The King..." Shu Yi let out a loud cry in tears, and then knelt north, crying incessantly.

Afterwards, all the surrounding soldiers followed and cried to the north.

···

It's just that after being sad for a while, a very serious problem was placed in front of the Yue people in Huaibei.

The king of Yue collapsed, the army of Yue was annihilated, and Huaibei had been given to Chu by Gongzi Yu, who had established himself in Wucheng, and they were a group of abandoned people, and where to go.

"General, how are we going now?"

Just as Shu Yi was mourning King Yue and the general Wang Xing, a soldier suddenly asked.

Then, the other soldiers all looked at Shu Yi and asked, "General, what should we do next?" ”

Shu Yi thought of the king of Yue and the general Wang Xing who died not far away, and felt a pain in his heart, and immediately raised his sword angrily to point at the sky, and swore loudly full of hatred: "The king humiliates the ministers to death, the state of Chu is despicable, and I expect the country to be too much, even if the general fights for his life, he will never surrender to the people of Chu."

Sent an order, informing the whole city that the Chu people were plotting to kill the king and the general, and the whole city was vegetarian, hanging up white flags, and seeing off the king and the general. In addition, the whole army fights and holds the city. ”

······

After the Chu army rested for the night, the next morning, the army marched and went straight to the city of Shandao in the south.

After more than an hour, the army arrived outside the city and immediately divided into three and laid siege to the city.

After the siege of the city, Xiong Huai drove the chariot to the front of the army, looked at the city closed by the four gates, and saw the figures on the city wall, without the slightest sign of taking the initiative to go out of the city and surrender, and couldn't help frowning.

Now that the main force of the Yue State has died, with the power of the Yue State, it is completely powerless to fight against the Chu State, and this is a good Dao city, and it is simply beyond the strength of the people who dare to resist stubbornly.

At this time, Chen Zhen stood beside Xiong Huai, saw the King of Chu frowning, and immediately spoke: "King, at this time, with the strength in the city, there is no power to fight against my Chu State, so the minister suggested, why not send a messenger first, holding the letter of land cession presented by Gongzi Yu, to persuade him to surrender."

If the persuasion fails, the envoy can also break the resistance of the city through the promise of the Chu State to the city. ”

On the other side of Xiong Huai, Gongsun Yan said: "Great King, what the assassin Shi Ling said is reasonable, in yesterday's battle, our Chu army suffered a lot of losses, low morale, coupled with the lack of siege equipment, forcibly attacking the city, for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to break the city." Therefore, why didn't the minister send people to persuade him to surrender on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered people to build siege equipment to prepare for the destruction of the city. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, so he instructed Chen Zhen: "Chen Qing, Lao Xianqing sent someone to persuade him to surrender and tell the guards in the city that as long as he surrenders out of the city, the widow will not only retain his official position, but also be promoted by one level." If he doesn't want to work for the widow, the widow is not reluctant, and he is willing to give him a thousand gold to let him return to the mountains and forests.

In addition, the officials in the city, the widows will not be degraded, and they will still stay in office. Also, tell the people in the city that once the Chu army enters the city, not only will it not be offended, but it will also be exempt from tax for a year.

Otherwise, after the city is broken, the widows will inevitably destroy the city guards and put all the officials in the city to death. ”

"Yui!" Chen Zhen responded, and then immediately got out of the car to arrange the messenger.

Then, Xiong Huai instructed Gongsun Yan: "Rhino head, please inform Zhu Guo and ask him to send people to build siege equipment before the army to put pressure on the city." ”

"Yui."

Soon, Xu Quan, who acted as an envoy, came out of the formation.

On the other side, in the city of Shandao, the guard general Shu Yi saw a Chu man coming from the Chu army and knew that it was the messenger of the Chu people. So, he immediately instructed the soldiers around him: "Order, prepare a big ding, it will be of great use." ”

"No."
