Yingdu.

Originally, the war between Bashu and Shangyong was all according to the expectations of the Chu State, and seeing the restoration of the three kingdoms of Bashu, although Zhaoju failed to recapture Shangyong, it also did not expand the scale of the war of the Qin army, which evolved into a decisive battle between the two countries.

However, what Xiong Huai never expected was that after the war started on Zhaoju's side, within a few days of fighting, Shangyong returned to the hands of Chu State.

This is not over, a few days later, Xiong Huai received another request for help from Zhao Ju, and he led his troops to Nanzheng.

In addition, the situation on the side of Shu changed again, Shu Houhui was assassinated, Shu fell into the hands of Qin again, and the Micang Ancient Road was controlled by the Qin army, and the country was not defended.

In the blink of an eye, there is only one Pakistani country left in Bashu, which is in a good situation, and this Pakistani country is still precarious.

Sima Jian and Ba Wang Ba Pu all came to ask for help.

This series of changes dazzled Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai, who was originally bent on controlling the scale of the war, suddenly found that the war had long been out of his control.

Like now...

"Great King, the Zhu State has broken the Qin army and defeated Nanzheng, this is a great opportunity to conquer Nanzheng in one fell swoop and cut off the connection between Qin and the land of Bashu. As long as Nanzheng is down, the Qin State not only loses Nanzheng, loses Bashu, but also loses more than 100,000 main forces. With such a major blow, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Qin State to recover within more than ten years. ”

At this time, Ling Yin Jingcui was talking in the main hall, and at the end, he bowed and said: "King, the minister Jingcui asks for his life, immediately lead the army to Nanzheng, and swear not to give up if he does not take Nanzheng." ”

"Ling Yin has a heart." Xiong Huai nodded expressionlessly, then shook his head and said: "Now the battlefield in Nanzheng is the key to the entire battle situation, and it is urgent to rush to the aid of the Zhu Kingdom." But..."

Saying that, Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "Ling Yin is the head of the hundred officials, the pillar of the country, and he can't leave the capital lightly." ”

When Jing Cui heard this, her excited face suddenly froze.

It's Ling Yin again, every time he asks the King of Chu to fight, he is rejected by the King of Chu with the same reason, the key is that he can't refute this reason.

Thinking about it, Jing Cui still didn't give up and said: "King, this battle of Nanzheng is a decisive battle between Qin and Chu, such a major matter, as Ling Yin, it is my duty." ”

Xiong Huai still shook his head and refused: "Ling Yin's words are wrong, although Nanzheng is the most important place at the moment, but the place that determines the victory or defeat of Qin and Chu is not in Nanzheng. ”

Jing Cui was stunned for a moment, as the general of the Chu State, he didn't expect it before, but now that he was reminded by the King of Chu, his thoughts turned, and he had a guess in his heart, but he still asked: "Dare to ask where the king thinks the victory or defeat of Qin and Chu will be decided?" ”

Xiong Huai's eyes suddenly looked to the east, and he said with a smile: "In Huaishui!" ”

Jing Cui sighed, King Chu was the same as the place he guessed in his heart.

Xiong Huai continued: "When the Wei State invaded Qin, I saw that the Wei State was expanding more and more and was unstoppable, so before the Qin State's request for help came, the armies of our Qi and Chu countries began to gather, ready to attack the Wei State at any time.

The reason why this is so is not because my Chu State has a particularly good relationship with the Qin State, but because I am afraid that the powerful Wei State will be even more uncontrollable after the destruction of the Qin State.

Similarly, now that my Chu State has been the overlord for many years and has annexed the Yue State, now if the land of Bashu falls into the hands of my Chu State again. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled: "I'm afraid that all countries in the world will have trouble sleeping and eating!" ”

"If the widow is not bad, wait a few days, and when the countries learn the news of the Zhu State's great destruction of the Qin army, I am afraid that the armies of Qi and Wei will be killed on the border of our Chu State in a few days.

Similarly, there are also Zhao and Han, although these two countries are still our allies, but, in this case, the two countries will definitely not want our Chu State to defeat the Qin State.

Therefore, please also ask Ling Yin and the widow to sit in Yingdu to deal with the threats of various countries. ”

"Yui!" Jing Cui responded helplessly, and then arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask the king, so where is Nanzheng, I don't know who the king plans to send to aid Zhuguo." ”

Xiong Huai was silent for a moment when he heard this.

Although he didn't want to recruit troops to fight on a large scale at this time, but when the war reached this point, even if he, the king of Chu, was unwilling, he could only bite the bullet.

Moreover, if Nanzheng can be successfully conquered this time, it can completely relieve the worries of the Chu State. Since then, the state of Chu has been based in the south, with the Qinling Mountains as the city and the Han Pond of the Huai River.

Therefore, this battle must be fought, and we must go all out.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai glanced at the ministers in the main hall, and then looked at Gongsun Yan and said: "Rhinoceros, pass on the edict, recruit troops in Jianghan and Jianghuai, the army in the north of Jianghan gathers in Xiangyang, the army in the south gathers in Yingdu, and the army in Jianghuai gathers in Shouxian?" ”

"Yui!" Gongsun Yan responded, as Zuo Sima, in charge of Sima's position, and it was his duty to recruit soldiers.

"This time against the Qin State, the widow decided to go all out." Then, Xiong Huai looked at Jing Cui again and said, "Ling Yin! ”

"The minister is here."

"Immediately send envoys to the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han, and ask the three countries to come forward to contain Qi and Wei."

Saying that, Xiong Huai's face was straight, and he said: "Yan and Zhao are too far away from the Chu State, whether this country is Yang Fengyin or Yin, or directly defective, no one can control it." However, South Korea must send troops to attack Qin in order to contain Qin. ”

Jing Cui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Please rest assured, the minister will send an envoy to lobby King Han and put pressure on King Han." ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded, and then said, "Where is the uncle, send him a heavy gift, and let him lobby King Han to send troops together." ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai and the ministers discussed the details of the envoys again, and then asked the ministers to arrange the matters.

On the same day, Gongsun Yan began to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and just when the people hesitated, the news that the Zhao Ju soldiers of the Zhu State sent to Nanzheng spread.

Originally, the Chinese people experienced a great war that lasted for more than a year, and after the king of Chu issued an edict to recuperate tax-free, it was only after it was stabilized. As a result, only a few months have passed, and the king of Chu has rebelled and once again recruited troops to fight, and the people of the country are in an uproar.

Then, under the explanation of someone with a heart, it was said that this battle was very likely to solve the worries of Chu State, completely control the river in the hands of Chu State, and the Chu people would not have to be careful about other countries killing in the country, so they would be a little stable.

Immediately after, the main force of the Qin State was trapped in Bashu, and the news that the possibility of a great victory in this battle came out, and the resistance of the Chinese people suddenly dissipated by more than half.

As for the remaining war-weariness, it is not so easy to eliminate, but it is just suppressed in the hearts of the Chinese people and will not be easily expressed.

Just when the news about the mood of the Chinese people from all over Yingdu continued to come, a waiter walked up to Xiong Huai and reported: "King, Gong Zhongxuan is asking to see you outside the palace. ”

"Gongzhong?" Xiong Huai was stunned.
