As soon as Xionghuai's edict came out, a total of 250,000 standing troops from Zhaoguan, Suiyang, Yubei, and Changsha of Chu quickly assembled in Yingdu and headed for the Wancheng battlefield in the north.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar - Xiong Huai was going to fight hard with the Qin State.

Xianyang, Zhangquan Palace.

"Crazy, what a madman! Utter lunatic! After Ying Si learned that Xiong Huai had mobilized the elite of the country, she scolded.

The battle situation in Wancheng, which was originally in control, is now confusing again.........

Ying Si's original plan was to let Sima Cuo and Wei Zhang work together to create pressure and try to take Wancheng as much as possible, if they can't take it, they will also play a posture that they can take it down immediately, forcing Chu to negotiate peace.

Although Wancheng cannot be taken in the short term, it can give people the appearance that Qin is about to destroy the Chu State, however, this is useless.

Xiong Huai did not send an envoy to sue for peace as Ying Si wanted, but instead mobilized the elite of the country to fight to the death.

This is also where Ying Si is puzzled, the Chu State, which has just experienced the confluence, still wants to do this kind of stupid thing of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred. went crazy and fought hard with Qin Jun.

Ying Si knew in her heart that if this continued. The Qin army will definitely be short of food and grass, and will withdraw on its own, and when the time comes, the Qin State will lose face, how will it be in front of the younger brother Han in the future...... How to establish prestige...

"Do you want to send an envoy to negotiate peace?" Ying Si looked at Gan Mao, who was invited by himself to play with him.

Gan Mao was startled, and the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard, shaking the entire chessboard.

"The king is confused, don't do this!"

"Why?"

Gan Mao said slowly: "If you send someone to negotiate peace now, it will definitely make Xiong Huai of Chu State think that my Qin State can't hold on, which is not good for my Qin State." ”

"So what now?" Yingsi said a little impatiently, "Now that the grain and grass on the front line are in an emergency, Sima Wrong's letter begging for food from Wei Zhang has been piled up on Lone's desk, but where did Lone get the food for him." Now that it is summer again, the middle school of the country has to work hard, and it is simply not able to afford the grain and grass of the front-line army. ”

Gan Mao shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the minister warned the king that if you do not have the certainty of a quick victory in a war with Chu, you must not send troops, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the quagmire and you will not be able to extricate yourself. Alas, today's plan is to borrow grain from the Korean Wei State. ”

"Borrow?" Ying Si gradually smiled, and said treacherously, "Why didn't Lone think of it, hahaha, Gan Mao, you go to Xinzheng Daliang quickly and borrow grain from the two countries!" ”

"No."

Yingdu, Shique Palace.

Because of the anxious situation in Wancheng, Xiong Huai, for convenience, directly upgraded and expanded this side hall that was originally a military discussion, and moved in.

In fact, for the battle situation in Wancheng, both Qin and Chu had misjudged the battle situation. The State of Chu underestimated the ambitions of the State of Qin, and from the very beginning, it did not expect that the State of Qin would have an idea of its own Wancheng, but instead set its sights on Yiyang, which led to frequent mistakes.

And the Qin State underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chu army and Xiong Huai's determination to defend the territory, and the Qin State wanted to use a blitzkrieg to take Wancheng before the Chu State came to its senses, but the seamless deployment of the Chu State and the unrelenting army made the Qin State suffer again and again, and the Lu clan alone fought for more than ten days, allowing Zhao Sui to escape from the encirclement of Wei Zhang and Sima Cuo. However, the underestimation of Fangcheng's 30,000 men led to the missed best opportunity to take Wancheng, allowing Zhaoyang to quickly analyze the situation, so as to build a strong defensive line east of Funiu Mountain and west of the Tang River, blocking Zhuli Disease to the north of the Hanzhong Plain.

Both sides are making amends for the mistakes they have made.

On the side of the Chu State, Xiong Huai quickly came back to his senses and dispatched the elite main force to come over to support, although it was a little late, but it gave Zhaoyang a glimmer of hope to those who were defending the front line - they were not the last troops, they still had 250,000 reinforcements. Wars of hope have a better chance of victory than wars of despair.

On the Qin side, according to the situation, Zhu Liji quickly asked Sima to miss to join forces with him, and let Sima Co suck Zhaoyang's troops to watch his ass for himself, while he crossed the Tang River and prepared to attack Wancheng from behind.

The morale of the soldiers on both sides was high. The state of Chu is because they have no way to retreat, and they have already erupted into the momentum of putting themselves to death and resurrection. And the Qin State, because victory is just around the corner, can be promoted to the rank of knight immediately.

However, objectively speaking, the Qin army's chances of victory are still greater than those of the Chu army. Why, because now the Qin army has found a breakthrough, which may break through the flank of the Tang River and attack Wancheng at any time, and the Chu army can only change its defensive posture according to the movements of the Qin army.

Although Xiong Huai has mobilized the elite of the country, it will still take nearly a month and a half to rush to Wancheng, and during this time, it is unknown whether Zhaoyang can hold Wancheng, whether Zhaosui can hold Wuguan, and whether Tang Yi can hold Fangcheng. Before the reinforcements of the Chu State arrived in Wancheng, Zhaoyang's chance of victory was only two percent, and after they arrived, they would only open up with the Qin State.

"The king," the chamberlain walked over and said, "Neishi Qu Yuan asked to see him." ”

Xiong Huai smiled and asked, "Is there anyone else besides him?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the waiter said: "Changshi Fan Huan, Zhong Xing, and the other thirteen people are outside." ”

"What are you going to do?" Xiong Huai asked again.

The inner servants were hesitant, wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and finally held back a few words: "King, "Chu Law" said that we can't get involved in political affairs. ”

Xiong Huai was amused by this waiter, and said, "If the widow asks you to say it, you can say it, what are you afraid of?" ”

Seeing Xiong Huai say this, the chamberlain said, "They want the king to give up the elite of the country and fight to the death with the Qin State..."

"I guessed this," Xiong Huai was a little angry, he was angry that Qu Yuan and these people were not angry. Although he knew that Qu Yuan was out of consideration for the livelihood and national strength of the Chu people.

"To see or not to see? They had all been standing all afternoon. The chamberlain asked. Obviously, the chamberlain still sympathized with Qu Yuan and them, and they stood outside until dinner after lunch......

"Since they want to stand, let them stand up," Xiong Huai's dissatisfaction that has accumulated over the past few days broke out directly, "They thought that they could win the Qin army with Zhaoyang and Zhuang Ji, but they didn't know that Zhaoyang was facing the army of 300,000 tigers and wolves of the Qin State who were fighting in the south and the north, if it was really so easy to win, how could they be trapped in Wancheng?" How is it possible that letters for help are piled up on the widow's desk? I really thought that the widow didn't expect it? ”

The waiter was so frightened by Xiong Huai that he kowtowed vigorously on the ground and asked Xiong Huai to apologize.

Xiong Huai's anger was vented, and the whole person felt very nice, so he brushed his sleeves away.

Xiong Huai's roar inside the palace, Qu Yuan heard it clearly outside.

However, they have no intention of retreating, in their eyes, what they insist on is the right one.

This is also the characteristic of these aristocrats, to say that it is good to insist on their own ideas, and to say that it is difficult to say, it is to be stubborn.

Although Qu Yuan is very smart, he is also a stubborn lord. Therefore, people have shortcomings.

Some cold winds blew, and the dozen or so people who were freezing shivered, and the attendants and guards next to them couldn't bear it, so they put their cloaks on the bodies of several people.

"My lord, stand down." The commander patted Qu Yuan on the shoulder.

Qu Yuan snorted and said, "Don't retreat." ”

"It's so stubborn." The Commander grumbled and went back to his place.
