Chen Cheng. A broken battle flag was erected above the city, and below the city, there were mountains of corpses.

On the city wall, the lodging corpses have been cleaned up, but the blood stains on the city wall cannot be cleaned up, and groups of Chu soldiers are facing the outside of the city with weapons.

In the city tower, Jing Yan wiped the sword that had killed several Wei soldiers just now, and asked lightly: "How many people are there in our army?" ”

No one replied to him, he turned to look, and found that the two familiar lieutenants behind him were gone, but the bodies of the two lieutenants were left in the place where the corpses were cleaned up in the city.

Only then did Jing Yan remember that the Wei army had attacked the city just now, and the two lieutenants had been killed.

Jing Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Poor, among my Jing family, there is such a traitorous minister, poor and pitiful, Jing's century-old reputation has been ruined by it, alas." ”

"General, today, our army has killed 1,300 people, beheaded 2,000 people, and the remaining 12,000 people." A soldier stepped forward and handed the battle report to Jing Yu.

Jing Yan took the battle report, threw it aside, and asked, "Is there any reinforcements to support Chen Cheng?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "Except for Huang Jun who sent 3,000 troops to help a few days ago, there are no Fengjun generals who are willing to send troops to rescue Chen Cheng. ”

"Alas," Jing Yan sighed and said, "Huang Jun is also difficult, he only has 4,500 people, and he can still send 3,000 people to help, this battle is really embarrassing." ”

The soldier couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the deep dark circles under Jing Yu's eyes, and said, "General, you haven't closed your eyes for two days, go and rest." ”

Jing Yan rubbed his eyes and said, "It's okay, I have my own measure." ”

For a long time, a messenger of the Wei army came over with a letter flag, and because the city gate had been blocked, he could only be hoisted up by several Chu soldiers through a hanging basket.

The messenger walked up to Jing Yu with a smile and said, "General Jing Yu, how many soldiers are there in Chen Cheng?" He looked at the Chu army around Jing Yan whose armor was soaked in blood.

Jing Yan snorted and said without concealment: "Ten thousand soldiers, what? Are you here to persuade Gongsun Yan to surrender? ”

The messenger laughed and said, "General Jing Yu is only half right, I am here to persuade you to surrender, but I am not here to persuade our general to surrender, but to order Yin Jingshao to persuade you to surrender." ”

"Jing Shao?" Jing Yan sneered and said, "I only know that my Great Chu Ling Yin is Jing Yang, why, traitors like Jing Shao have also become Ling Yin?" Could it be that it was canonized by your King Wei? ”

The messenger laughed and said, "General Jing Shao is doing this, Jing Shao obeys the will of heaven and inherits the will of the people, and it is imperative to overthrow the rule of the tyrant, you see, how unpopular your king of Chu is?" Jing Shao raised the flag. The world responds, is it worth it to die for such a tyrant? ”

Jing Yu stood up and smiled. said: "You can only deceive yourself with such words, come here, take him down, behead him, and sacrifice the flag!" I want Gongsun Yan to know that as long as there is a soldier in Chen Cheng, he will not surrender! ”

The messenger's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "General, the rhino head said, if General Jing Yu surrenders to my Great Wei, the rhino head is willing to promote you as the general of Wei State, and I also ask General Jing Yu to think about it." ”

"That's a lot of nonsense," Jing Yan swung his sword and stabbed into the body of the Wei envoy. The Wei envoy stared at Jing Yu with wide eyes, and then two soldiers rushed up and cut off the emissary's head and hung it on the broken battle flag at the head of the city.

Jing Yan glanced at the soldiers with broken armor around him, and said: "Soldiers, the battle has reached this point, there is no hope of victory, they are all dead, are you afraid?" ”

"The general laughed," said one of the soldiers, "since I followed the general, I naturally put life and death behind me, and in this life, I want nothing more than to kill a few more enemies, so that I can go down and meet our ancestors." ”

Jing Yan nodded and said: "At this point, the reason is all because of the scum of my clan, colluding with the Wei State and plotting rebellion, today, I, Jing Yan, apologize to everyone!" ”

After speaking, he knelt down on the ground and said: "Everyone, if you want to live, I will not stop you, change into and take off your armor and put down your weapons tonight, all of them are civilians, and the rest, tomorrow, will die with me!" ”

"I'm willing to die with the general!" The soldiers knelt in unison.

Everyone can see that the chance of victory is equal to zero now, and Wei sent reinforcements from the country while cutting off the water source in Chen Cheng, which has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.

And the Wei army has reached 100,000, and the odds of winning are zero. Of course, Jing Yan was naturally unwilling to keep defending until all the soldiers in the city were killed in battle, and he wanted to go out of the city for a decisive battle. Break the net with Wei Junyu.

The battle book was in the hands of Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan was naturally happy to do so, and the two sides were ready to put on a posture in front of Chen Cheng three days later to start a decisive battle.

In Yingdu, the army led by Jing Shao has already drained the entire city, and there are only 20,000 soldiers defending the city, which is similar to the situation in Chencheng.

The army led by Zhaoyang was blocked by Qu Qi in Dengcheng, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

Qi country, Linzi.

Qi Wang Tian Pijiang sat in the pavilion and looked at the news coming out of the Chu State, and said with a smile: "The Chu State is such a big mess, I'm afraid that after this chaos, the national strength will decline greatly and become a country like South Korea, hahaha." ”

Mencius, who was next to him, smiled and said, "I wonder how the king thinks that the state of Chu has been reduced to a country like Korea?" ”

Tian Pijiang said with a smile: "Chu is worried about external troubles, external troubles, Wei invaded, has taken Anling, Jingshan land, Chen Cheng is also within reach, and immediately the northern land of Chu will be returned to Wei, and Jing Shao and others in the country raise troops to make trouble, and the king of Chu is already at the end of the road." When the time comes, the land of Jianghuai will all belong to my Qi country. ”

"The king is mistaken," Mencius took a sip of tea. said, "In my opinion, not only will the state of Chu not become a weak country, but it will also be reborn in Nirvana and return to the prosperous era of King Zhuang." ”

What did Master Mengzi mean by this? The widow really didn't see it. King Qi asked puzzled.

Mencius said: "The king only saw the surface, and above the surface, the state of Chu was suffering from internal and external troubles, but did the king know that the king of Chu was secretly training troops in Yunmengze?" Does the king know that the king of Chu transferred Zhaoyang to the land of Hanzhong in advance to recruit soldiers? In my opinion, all this is just the next game of chess played by the king of Chu. ”

"Yun Mengze's training is not because Jing Shao and others drove out the army of the King of Chu, thereby weakening the power of the King of Chu? The same is true for Zhaoyang, how could Meng Fuzi think that the king of Chu is a game of chess? From the point of view of the widow, this is just a helpless move by the king of Chu. Tian Bijiang said.

Mencius stood up and said, "That." We'll see. ”
