Chapter 10, The Storm (1) Part 2
"King! Oh no! A soldier rushed in and said, "In the battle of Jingshan, our army was defeated!" 20,000 were killed and less than 30,000 escaped. ”
"What?" Xiong Huai was stunned, the Battle of Jingshan in history was also a defeat of the Chu army, but that time the Chu State did not send a single soldier, and it was normal to be defeated.
But this defeat is a bit abnormal, after all, now that the army of Chu has just transitioned during the reign of Xuanwei, although the combat power cannot be guaranteed to reach that time, it will not plummet to 80,000 (there are still 30,000 defenders) The army of Wei cannot stop the 80,000 army of Wei, this is defense!!
Xiong Huai smelled a hint of something wrong, among them, there may be cats, and the defense only needs to be stubborn, even if the troops are completely inferior, defend a city built on the mountain for two months. The city was lost in less than a month, which is too fake.
It's like if you want to be an actor, then you have to have a little content, you give people a head directly at the beginning, who can't see it.
But this is not like the conspiracy of Jing Shao and others, after all, these 50,000 troops are all their people, and 20,000 died. It is estimated that it is more distressing than Xiong Huai.
Xiong Huai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, which made people very confused.
"The battle is detailed." Xiong Huai said.
The soldier clasped his fists and said: "No, after Sima Tong's army arrived at Jingshan, he set up a camp in the north of the mountain, and defended it according to the mountain, the Wei army attacked fiercely for dozens of days, just when Sima was ready to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Wei army to raid the Wei army, the Wei army suddenly attacked the place where I was trapped in grain from the rear, the defenders were defeated, and all the grain and grass were destroyed, and then the Wei army attacked before and after, and our army was defeated and had to retreat. ”
Xiong Huai was tired of hearing this, and asked, "Why did Wei Jun know that I was trapped in the land of grain?" ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
Xiong Huai waved his hand casually and motioned for the soldiers to go down, and after the soldiers went down, Xiong Huai turned to look at the map behind him and muttered, "The place where I am trapped in the grain is in such a hidden place. Only Sima and a few people knew, why did Wei Jun know? ”
Xiong Huai fell into deep thought,,,,,, (here to say, in ancient times, the main force of the march and the battalion of grain and grass were generally separated, first, because the battalion was the main force, the speed of the march was fast, and sometimes the opportunity to break the enemy was fleeting, and under normal circumstances, it would be faster than the army transporting grain and grass, which was simply a burden, and if the commander followed the battalion to fight, the commander had to carry the grain and grass all the time, which was easy to cause distraction. Second, the big battalion is the main battlefield, which is more dangerous. Grain and grass are very important, because the army has no food and is in chaos, which is related to the major matter of life and death, so it is not in the same place with the battalion in order to protect the safety of grain and grass)
"Not good!" Xiong Huai was shocked.
The news that the Wei army was able to obtain the land where the Chu army was stationed must have leaked the information, because the place where the Chu army was stationed would not be discovered at all.
Now the only people who know the land of the Chu army to store grain are Xiong Huai, Jing Yang, Jing Shao, and Qu Qi, and they don't even know Fenghou Chou, who is the first deputy general.
So if someone leaks information, it can only be found from these four people, and this is where Jing Shao is smart.
Because everyone knows that Jing Shao and Qu Qi are together, and Qu Shao's 50,000 soldiers are Jing Shao's family background, so Jing Shao is the most unlikely, no, he will definitely not cooperate with the enemy, and he will not sell his soldiers.
And Jingyang, as one of the four people who knew the news, after losing Zhaoyang's support, was already a wasted person in the court, and had no right to speak, so he could only wait for dispatch, so there was no need for Jingyang to take this risk.
The only thing that can be suspected now, and the most suspicious, is Xiong Huai. First of all, Xiong Huai and Jing Shao Qu beggars and others are as powerful as fire and water, and everyone in this world knows it, so it also gives Xiong Huai the motivation to collaborate with the enemy, that is, to suppress Jing Shao Qu and the beggars.
Xiong Huai, as the king of Chu, can do some small things as he wants without fear of being discovered, which also gives him the conditions to collaborate with the enemy.
So now everyone's target of suspicion is Xiong Huai, Jing Shaoya adds oil and vinegar, and Xiong Huai is easy to fall into the target of public criticism.
When the time comes, Jing Shao will wrap himself, Jing Shao will become a righteous person, for Jing Shao, this kind of at the expense of a small number of soldiers, to obtain the power of Da Chu, why not?
Now, it seems that in this situation, the initiative depends on Jing Shao's side, and Xiong Huai can't stop Jing Shao from controlling public opinion at all.
It's annoying. Jing Shao can completely control public opinion, and then lead the rebellion, when the time comes, if he wins, Xiong Huai is his prisoner, and if he loses, Xiong Huai is a tyrant, in short, the good guy is Jing Shao, and the bad guy is Xiong Huai.
This is the power of public opinion.
Terrible, terrible.
Xiong Huai's body was shocked, this is also too terrible, he can come up with such a vicious plan, this is completely to pave the way for himself to be a powerful minister in the future in the interests of the Chu State.
"Herald!" Xiong Huai raised his hand and said, "Secret order Tang Yu to unify the army back to Yingdu, and must come back before dark tomorrow, secret order, Zhaoyang ambushed Qu Beggar's army halfway, killed all of them, and left no one behind!" ”
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai seriously flashed a fierce look, since you are unkind, since you break through the bottom line to make a widow, then the widow does not have to scruple so much, the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, this truth. The widow still understands.
A man in black appeared behind Xiong Huai and said coldly, "No! ”
The man in black then disappeared into the main hall.
In the hall, Xiong Huai was left alone, and it suddenly rained lightly outside, and then the light rain turned into heavy rain, accompanied by thunder.
The thunder gradually became louder and deafening, and Xiong Huai still appeared alone in the hall, muttering: "Tyrant? The widow doesn't mind being a tyrant. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked to the dormitory in the back.
"A tyrant who can make the world peaceful, I'm afraid, for thousands of years, not many people can do it."

Jing Mansion, Jing Shao sat in the pavilion, enjoying the heavy rain outside.
"Fengjun, have you contacted Gongzi Jia?" Jing Shao asked.
One of his cronies said, "Let's get in touch, and by then, there will be twenty feudal lords willing to join us in the crusade against the tyrant!" Gongzi Gao is also willing to be the king of Da Chu! ”
Jing Shao nodded and said, "Go down." ”
The cronies disappeared into the night.
Jing Shao looked at the black lake in front of him and muttered: "This time, I won, you Xiong Huai, lose, this loss, I'm afraid, you will be in a different place." ”
——————
In the night, a fast horse went straight through the woods, and the horse's hooves splashed a layer of dirt and rain, which woke up the old man beside him, and the old man curled up under the tree.
After the man on horseback walked away, the corners of the old man's mouth lifted and he muttered: "It's been decades, and there will be war again, and it's close to Yingdu, hahaha." ”
