Yingdu.

The battle report from the front line made Xiong Huai's brows furrow. The battle situation is getting worse and worse, and it seems that the Qin army will take Wancheng as a certainty.

And what Xiong Huai can do now is to train troops in Yingdu, transport grain, and backing Zhaoyang.

Fortunately, the news that Zhang Yi brought back that Qi agreed to the alliance made Xiong Huai breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, 100,000 troops could be pulled out of the overstretched troops and transferred to Wancheng.

Many people may not understand why Chu, a country that is stronger than Qin, can't draw out troops to fight the Qin army head-on.

The reason is simple. The border of Chu is a bit more dangerous than that of Qin. To the north of the state of Chu is the two capricious states of Wei and Han, as well as the powerful state of Qi, to the south there are Lingnan barbarians, to the east there are small strong Yue countries, and to the west there are Shu states and Qin states. None of them are small roles, Xiong Huai has to invest a lot of troops to defend these countries, and he will put 100,000 in the Huaishui area alone, not to mention the important Chu country like Huaishui, as well as Wancheng, Chencheng, Yangguan, Wuguan and other seven or eight places. The Chu State has nearly 800,000 troops evenly distributed, and there are really not many in each place...

Outside the palace, a soldier in armor was walking into the palace quickly, through the palace gate, straight through the long corridor, through the sixty-four steps, to the outside of the palace, under the guidance of two chamberlains, turned a corner, and came to the outside of the palace where Xiong Huai was.

Through the reeds at the palace gate, Xiong Huai saw the soldier.

The soldier licked his chapped lips and said, "Your Majesty, Yangxia is in a hurry, the army of Wei transferred to the party suddenly attacked our army, and General Xiang Ping is defending Yangxia." ”

The dispatch of troops by Wei was expected by Xiong Huai, and it was unexpected by Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai had already guessed that the Wei State would send troops, because the battle situation in Wancheng was erosive, and the Qin army was victorious, according to the character of the old man Wei Fu of the Wei State, he would definitely take advantage of the weakness of the Chu State to make a wave, and at the same time, he would also avenge Xiong Huai's attack on the Great Liang.

However, Xiong Huai didn't expect that Wei Guo would look so ugly, so he directly gave up the agreement with South Korea and drew back the troops that helped South Korea to defend the party.

"Come in." Xiong Huai said coldly. I don't know if Xiong Huai is angry or not.

The soldier walked in, a little miserable...... There were three arrows stuck in his back, his armor was torn, the blood on his body had not yet dried, his lips had dried up, and some dead skin had protruded. It can be seen that the Yangxia front line is miserable.

"Why is this the case?"

"The last general was entrusted by General Xiang Ping to kill the Wei army, and there was no time to sort it out...... The last general defiled this palace, and asked the king to condemn him, and the last general did not complain. ”

The chamberlain next to him also breathed a sigh of relief for this general.

Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Do you think that the widow is a tyrant? Why should we condemn meritorious people for no reason? Pass the edict of the widow and reward a thousand gold! ”

The general was stunned, and then said: "The last general is useless, and he deserves it!" Please also ask the king to retract his fate. ”

Xiong Huai stood up and said, "Does Xiang Ping have anything else to say?" ”

The general arched his hand and said: "General Xiang Ping said a word, although success is uncertain, Chengren is determined." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned......... Suddenly, it was discovered that the army of Chu seemed to have been reborn......

Although the current war situation is rotten, no general of the Chu State has surrendered from beginning to end.

On March 25, Qin Weizhang fought at Zhaosui, and all 12,000 Chu soldiers were killed in battle, and none of them surrendered.

On March 30, Qin Kechu Lu, Lu's defender Qu Xiang and 10,000 troops were killed, and Qin general Sima Jin slaughtered the city to vent his anger in revenge for the long-term hatred.

On April 11, none of the defenders of the twelve cities of Chu surrendered to Qin, and they were all killed in battle.

………

This is gratifying, because Xiong Huai injected a kind of soul into the Chu army.

This kind of soul is different from the Qin army, which used to kill the enemy to motivate the soldiers to make meritorious achievements, and everyone rushed to soar.

The Chu army, on the other hand, fought for Xionghuai, and the Chu army had faith, which had the same characteristics as the famous army in later generations.

They are not fighting for their country, for the sake of the people behind them.

"Soldiers have faith. There is no disadvantage. Xiong Huai said this sentence casually.

In the main hall, the ministers had already gathered, but the bell at the top of the palace had not stopped.

A moment later, Xiong Huai walked over.

"King, Wei Jun ........."

"The widow already knows." Before Jingyang could speak, Xiong Huai interrupted him.

Obviously, Xiong Huai didn't come to listen to their report, but to let them come up with an idea to break the dead game in front of them.

"Great King," Shen Yinfu, who was the general of the Chu State, stood up and said, "The minister thinks that if the Wei State sends troops this time, if it is not handled well, it is very likely to worsen the situation in Wancheng again, so the minister suggested that he order 100,000 people transferred from the land of Huaisi to attack the Wei State, first calm the Wei State and no worries, and then rush to the aid of Wancheng." ”

"The general's words are false." After Shen Yinfu finished speaking, Fan Huan, a doctor who was listening quietly, stood up and said, "Wei sent troops to see that the battle situation in Wancheng is erosive, and Qin's chances of victory are greater than my Chu. ”

"Doctor Zhong is reasonable," Qu Yuan, who was silent on the side, also stood up at this time and said, "The Yangxia dilemma is like a branch to a tree trunk in Wancheng's dilemma. If our army solves the Yangxia dilemma, it will be useless to solve the Wancheng dilemma, and if the Wancheng dilemma is solved, the Yangxia dilemma will be solved. Therefore, it is not advisable for the general to cut the branches. ”

Shen Yinfu wanted to refute, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, because the Taiwei Jingyang next to him spoke.

"Although the two of them are reasonable, they have no experience in commanding the army, so it is reasonable to look down on the predicament of the two places."

"I don't know how we take the predicament of the two places lightly." Qu Yuan was a little unconvinced.

Jingyang said: "Wancheng, Qin 350,000, and our army is only less than 150,000, plus Huaisi 100,000, also defeated Qin." Therefore, the situation of Wancheng cannot be solved within a few months. If our army regains the city, then Wei can break my Yangxia, and the Chen city after the Yangxia has not repaired the city defense, and the Wei army can drive straight into the city after Chencheng and then come to Xiling. The minister suggested that it was the best policy to calm Wei first and then defeat Qin. ”

In a few words, the loopholes of Qu Yuan and Fan Huan were explained, the situation in Wancheng could not be broken overnight, so it was better to break the Wei State first and attack the Qin State without worries, this is the best policy.

Then, there was the verbal cannon link between the two sides, those who had never led the troops supported Qu Yuan one after another, and the generals supported Jingyang.

"That's enough," Xiong Huai said, the court instantly calmed down, Xiong Huai stood up, and said, "Spread the edict of the widow, transfer Zhaoguan, Yubelly, Changsha, and the standing army of Suiyang Land to be handed over to Taiwei Jingyang, Xiang Jun assisted, and quickly rushed to aid Wancheng, and the 100,000 troops in Huaisi Land were handed over to General Shen Yinfu to be commanded, and went to Yangxia to help Xiang Ping." ”

Yes, that's right, the widow just wants to make a desperate bet and fight to the death with you Qin State!
