As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly turned blue, especially the feudal monarch whose fief was in the north of Yingdu, and his whole face was stinky.

If Xiangyang is lost, Yancheng is abandoned, and most of their people are transferred to defend Yingdu, if the Qin-Han coalition army directly attacks Yingdu, it is fine, but if they kill their fiefdom, how can they hold the fief?

"This... This..."

At this time, Ling Jun muttered, then sat on his feet, and then, as if asking himself, and as if asking everyone, he whispered: "If Xiangyang is lost, what can I do about it?" ”

In the silent room, Jing Lingjun's words were suddenly heard by everyone, and then everyone asked themselves and asked themselves.

Soon, the demeanor of the people in the room was differentiated, and some people, such as Yi Lingjun and others, looked as usual, as if the loss of Xiangyang had not affected him; Some people, such as Xijun, had distorted faces, as if they were struggling violently inside; Others, such as Yan Lingjun, are like ashes.

It's just that, although they have different expressions, what is the same is that neither of them speaks.

For a moment, the room was dead silent, and a needle drop could be heard.

After a long time, the Emperor of Yiling broke the dead silence in the room and asked, "Everyone, I don't know how much you know about Xiangyang, where Qu Yuan is located, and how long can Qu Yuan hold on?" ”

"This..." Everyone immediately looked at each other.

Xiangyang was deliberately forgotten by the nobles of Chu State, how could they take the initiative to inquire about the news of Xiangyang.

At this time, Xijun spoke: "The last time I paid attention to Xiangyang, it was when Qu Yuan successfully built the city, disbanded the Zhuangding, and divided the land to establish households to attract the surrounding people. As for the situation in Xiangyang, there is very little news at the moment.

However, if you think about it, the original 50,000 households in Xiangyang, plus the people in the middle of the 10,000 households, and the people who moved to Xiangyang from all over the country, I am afraid that the people of the entire Xiangyang are about 200,000.

These people hold on to the city······"

Xijun didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood it.

That is, I am not optimistic about the land of Xiangyang.

At this time, Jing Lingjun suddenly hated: "Damn, the king let Qu Yuan build the city, and he didn't want Qu Yuan to ignore the king's orders and turn the army into a people." If Qu Yuan, like Tang Yu, trained the 50,000 strong men who built the city into an army of 50,000, then Xiangyang would have been able to hold on for several months. ”

Yan Lingjun shook his head and said: "There are many people in Xiangyang, and those 50,000 strong men alone can hold on for one to two months." It's just that if the Qin army continues to besiege Xiangyang for a month or two, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. ”

Saying that, Yan Lingjun said again: "Moreover, the king's guards had already retreated to Yancheng before the Qin army attacked the city..."

When everyone heard this, their faces sank again.

Seeing that everyone knew little about Xiangyang, Yiling Jun smiled and said: "The old man never thought that there would be a day when he could hope that Qu Yuan would be able to contribute to the country..."

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed!

Soon after, after everyone left, Yiling Jun instructed his commander Yin Sima: "Sima, you immediately go back and recruit all the men over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty in the territory, and after the recruitment is completed, according to the king's order, lead a sufficient number of men to Yingdu." As for the rest, they were immediately handed over to the division for training, and later, Benjun was ready to stick to Yiling, thinking that the king would be loyal. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, after Sima left, Yiling Jun instructed Ling Yin: "Ling Yin, arrange for Ziqi to go to Deng County!" In this situation, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, so in order to continue the family of Yiling Jun, he has to bet on both ends.

These eggs can't be put in one basket at the same time, in case the chicken flies and the eggs are beaten, it's over! ”

"No."

At the same time, there are not a few people who are as decisive as Yilingjun.

On the other side, after Yin Jun and the others left Yingdu, they hurried all the way to Yancheng.

After returning to Yancheng, Yin Jun immediately found Gongsun Yan in the military camp, and then handed over a wooden box and said, "General, the king has sent an edict!" ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, then opened the wooden box, took out two pieces of wooden tablets and looked at them, and then nodded with a heavy face.

Then, after Gongsun Yan took the edict given to him by the King of Chu into his arms, he then handed another piece of wooden tablet to Yin Jun, and said with a smile: "Yin Jun, the king has an order, let the old man immediately lead the guards back to Yingdu to train the army." Therefore, he handed over all the defenders of Yancheng to the commander of Yinjun, hoping that Yinjun would live up to the king's hopes and stick to Yancheng. ”

Yin Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "Rhino Head, if you go back to Yingdu to train the army, then who will command the Jianghan army and preside over the overall situation to repel the Qin-Han coalition army." ”

Gongsun Yan smiled and said, "Yin Jun, please rest assured, naturally this will still preside over the battle situation of the entire Jianghan Dynasty." Since Ben made an oath, he will definitely not be invalidated like this. It's just that now Yancheng is not strong enough to defeat the Qin-Han coalition army, so the general needs to train another army to recapture the Danxi defensive line. ”

Yin Jun thought that Gongsun Yan would refuse the edict of the King of Chu to let him return to the capital, but when he heard that Gongsun Yan really planned to return to Yingdu, he was dumbfounded.

This Gongsun Yan is going to run away!

Yin Jun was stunned for a moment, and then spoke again: "Rhino Head, since you are going back to Yingdu, why don't you leave the Great King's Guards behind." Now the Qin-Han coalition army is besieging Xiangyang, Xiangyang is in danger, and as soon as Xiangyang is broken, the coalition army will kill Yancheng. In Yancheng, only the 17,000 defeated troops brought back from Xia, plus the new army newly recruited by the rhino head from Yingdu.

At this moment, the morale in the city was low and the army's combat strength was insufficient, so he asked the rhino head to let General Deng Ling stay with the guards to defend Yancheng. ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Yin Jun to make such a request, he thought about it, shook his head and said: "Yin Jun, it's not that the general is not close, but in fact, the guards are the army directly under the king, and they only obey the king's dispatch, and they don't dare to agree privately."

Therefore, if Yin Jun is interested, he can write to the king to ask for it, as long as the king is the same, the guards will definitely stay in Yancheng. ”

Yin Jun: "···"

On that day, Gongsun Yan did not stop for a moment, and directly left Yancheng with all the guards and soldiers, and then went all the way south to Yingdu.

Behind Gongsun Yan, there was a chaotic Yancheng.

At the same time, the news that Gongsun Yan had returned to Yingdu along with the guards of the King of Chu spread rapidly.

On the other side, Gongsun Yan ignored these news, but marched quickly with the guards, and rushed back to Yingdu on the afternoon of the second day.

After Gongsun Yan led the army back to the capital, he ordered the army to camp twenty miles outside the capital of Ying, and at the same time went to the palace in person to ask for a meeting with the king of Chu.

"King!"

When Xiong Huai saw Gongsun Yan returning, he immediately smiled and said, "The rhino head came back so quickly!" ”

Gongsun Yan also responded: "The king has a call, and the minister does not dare to be unhappy." ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "When people in the world see that the rhino head comes back so quickly, I am afraid that they will not think that the rhino head is in a hurry, but that the rhino head is afraid to flee." ”

Gongsun Yan followed with a smile and said, "King, what else you think, the minister doesn't care. However, it would be great if the disease and the public were to think the same way. ”

Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this.
