On the other side, the Qin and Han coalition forces killed Xiang Jun's broken division, and immediately urged the army to pursue and kill the Chu army to the south.

However, after only walking more than ten miles, he ran into the Chu army, which had been waiting for him, which was the receiving army of the Chu State Water Division.

Seeing that the defeated army of Chu had retreated, and the Chu army was ready, plus the Qin army had fought two fierce battles and the Korean army had fought three fierce battles, the formation had been chaotic and the morale had been discharged, so they immediately stopped their advance, and while reorganizing the army, they waited in place for the alliance of Qi, Wei and Song.

Just while waiting, over there, on the bank of Yingshui, the defeated army of the Chu army had passed through five pontoon bridges, as well as thousands of warships and civilian ships, and continuously transported soldiers to the south bank.

Half an hour later, when the five-nation alliance army chased the defeated army of the naval division to the north bank, Chen Cheng's defeated army had all reached the south bank, and a large number of sailor soldiers were standing on the warship in the river with shields and bows waiting for them.

Afterwards, the defeated army of the sailors, under the response of arrows, quickly swam towards the boats that had been waiting in the river for a long time.

In the end, the five-nation alliance looked at the distant Chu State Naval Division, and couldn't help but look at each other, looking at the water timidly.

South.

After Shen Yifu left the battle, he came to Zhaoju, who was watching the battle on the south bank, and bowed his hand and said: "Ling Yin, now our Chu army has successfully broken through. The five-nation coalition army is about to attack the Yingnan regions, and our naval division is rampant in the Jianghuai River and controls the waterway, so it is necessary to harass the grain route of the coalition army. Therefore, the last general will resign and bid farewell to Ling Yin. ”

Zhao Ju nodded: "The Five Kingdoms have been fighting with our Chu State for more than a year and a half, and the veterans of the division are already tired. The five-nation alliance army went south to attack the city and conquer the territory, and the territory of our Chu State was everywhere it passed, and it was very inconvenient to use the land route, so it would inevitably use the waterway to transport grain. Therefore, if the general can take advantage of the opportunity, the 50,000 sailors can also go ashore to attack the stronghold of the coalition army and harass the rear of the coalition army.

If there is no opportunity, the sailor only needs to control Yingshui and make every effort to prevent the coalition army from transporting grain to Yingnan. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju sighed: "Next, if you want to repel the five countries and force the five countries to retreat and recuperate, you will all rely on the generals." ”

"Please rest assured that Ling Yin will live up to the trust and fulfill the hopes of the king and Ling Yin."

"Okay, General, please take care of yourself."

After Shen Yifu left, Huang Jun arched his hand and asked, "Ling Yin, now that Chen Cheng has been lost, the five kingdoms are about to go south, I don't know where we will go next." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ju was silent for a long time, then looked at the southwest with a worried face, and finally sighed and responded: "Go to Juyang." ”

On the other side, in the alliance of the Five Nations, at this time, Sima Cuo and Kuang Zhang had a fierce quarrel about the delay of the Three Kingdoms, and the two sides broke up unhappily.

On the same day, the Qin-Han coalition army broke away from the coalition army and looked at Cai.

Soon after, Gongsun Xi received news that the Qi army remaining in Chencheng was raping and plundering in Chencheng.

Chen Cheng was next the territory of Wei, and Gongsun Xi had the intention to stop the Qi army, but Kuang Zhang refused on the grounds that he had already publicly promised soldiers.

After Gongsun Xi and Kuang Zhang broke up, they asked for help from the country on the one hand, and built a pontoon bridge on the other hand, preparing to attack Xiangdi.

Then, in the evening of the next day, after a day and a half of raging in Chencheng, the Qi army withdrew from Chencheng, leaving the Wei army with a half-burned and devastated Chencheng.

On the third day, the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song waved their armies south to attack Xiangdi, and broke the city on the fifth day.

Then, the Three Kingdoms divided their forces, and the Qi and Song coalition forces crossed the river again to Yingdong, while the Wei army headed south to Pingyu.

Two months later.

The Wei army conquered Pingyu Zhudi, and the Qi and Song coalition forces swept through Yingdong.

However, at this time, the army of the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song was constantly harassed by the water division of the Chu State, because the grain and grass were unsustainable, the army was very tired, and the morale continued to decline, so they had to stop advancing.

Soon after the Qi, Wei and Song kingdoms ceased to recuperate, the Qin-Han coalition army, which had already conquered Shangcai and advanced the front line to Yecheng, immediately retreated from Yecheng to Shangcai after learning the news of the Three Kingdoms, and then the Han army stayed in Shangcai, while the Qin army retreated and returned home.

The news of the withdrawal of the five countries, the first thing Chu learned was Juyang in the north of Huaishui and west of Yingshui.

"Yiyangjun, I heard that the main forces of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song have retreated back to China, and this war that has lasted for nearly two years is over." Le Jun's face was extremely ugly.

"yes, the war is over." Yi Yangjun replied with a sad face: "After two years of war, in the end, it ended up being the result of the loss of Chen Cheng and the loss of the fief. ”

Saying that, Yi Yangjun said with a bitter face: "The war is over, but the disaster for you and me has just begun." ”

Le Jun was concerned when he heard this.

Chen Di was lost, they were ordered to defend the city, and they were jointly and severally responsible, and this reprimand and punishment was over. However, the loss of the fief is a disaster, not only will he be severely punished by the king of Chu or even killed, but more importantly, once the fief is lost, the foundation of his family will be gone.

In the past two months, every time Lejun thinks of this, he tosses and turns and can't sleep at night.

"Yiyang Jun, you also know the situation of Chu now, although we are all guilty of the loss of the fief, but it is also helpless under the defeat, it is the trend of the times, we can only retreat to Juyang, in order to achieve after-effects. According to the old practice fifty years ago, the Wei and Han coalition forces also killed Yedi, and all the feudal monarchs who lost their fiefs at that time retained their titles.

Moreover, those fiefs that were later recaptured by the Chu army regained their original fiefs again.

But this time..."

Saying that, Le Jun showed a look of worry and fear, and swallowed his saliva: "Now the king's mind is very clear, that is, to change the law and take back the rights of the feudal monarch." I am afraid that this time the king will not let go of this opportunity, and will take the opportunity to condemn us and others, deprive us of our fiefdoms, and cut off our titles, and even we will not be spared. ”

Yi Yangjun nodded with a heavy face: "Le Jun is reasonable, and he is also worried." ”

Saying that, Yi Yangjun looked at Le Jun: "I don't know what Le Jun can do to turn the danger into a disaster." ”

When Le Jun heard this, he first turned his head to look around, and when he saw that there was no one in the room, he lowered his voice and said: "Yiyangjun, I mean, we must be responsible, but the charge of this rout can't fall on our heads, someone has to go to the top." ”

"Who can be blamed?"

"Who do you think can withstand such a big crime."

"Ling Yin..."

Le Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Yes, Ling Yin is the main general of this battle, and he is defeated in this battle, of course he needs to take the blame." If Zhao Ju flatters the king and puts the blame on us, then... Maybe we won't be as simple as cutting the land and getting rid of the lords, and nine times out of ten we will be killed. ”

Saying that, Le Jun sighed: "Zhao Ju is not dead, my heart is uneasy,"

Yi Yangjun thought about it, remembered what the King of Chu had done before, shook his head with a cold face, and said: "This is a bad word, even if Zhao Ju is dead, it will be difficult for us to be peaceful." ”

"Yiyangjun is reasonable." Le Jun nodded: "What does it mean, but now we need to return to Yingdu before Zhaoju returns to Yingdu, or before Zhaoju commits suicide, ask the king for his guilt in advance, and put all the blame for the defeat on Zhaoju."

Of course, this is not safe, and it means that we still need to pay heavy gifts to bribe the princes of the DPRK and China, and ask them to intercede for us and reduce our guilt.

In addition, we need to contact the local feudal lords so that they can come forward to protect our titles. The king's change is imminent, and their lips are cold, and they will definitely agree. ”

Yi Yangjun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Lejun, the princes of the court and the central government are greedy, if you want them to come forward to intercede for us, I am afraid it will take a lot of money." ”

"Yiyangjun rest assured, there are a total of seventeen feudal monarchs who lost their fiefs this time, and with the strength of our fifteen families, these money can still be taken out."

When Yi Yangjun heard that the financial resources were evenly divided, he was slightly relieved, and responded: "Good! ”
