The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, and then, Xiong Huai continued: "Rhino head, now that reinforcements from all over the country have rushed to Yingdu, the edict of the widow will allow all the reinforcements to be brought to Yingdu within a month and a half. The widows will set up a large military camp in the north of Yingdu to place reinforcements from all over the country, and no one will be allowed to leave the barracks at that time to ensure that news leaks out.

At the same time, the widow has sent someone to order Fangcheng to guard Jingque, Wancheng General Zhuang Ji, and Xiangyang to guard Qu Yuan, so that they all listen to the rhino head's order. In addition, the head of the rhino went with a talisman and a sword of the widow, so please don't worry about them not obeying orders. ”

"King Xie!" Gongsun Yan bowed his hand, and then asked again: "King, I don't know how the Wei State is doing!" ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Please rest assured, the widow has sent someone to ask Zuo Yin to officially break off relations with the King of Wei in order to paralyze Qin and Han." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan solemnly, and then bowed and said: "Therefore, now that the widow has done everything he can, next, the widow will hand over the battle that will determine the fate of the Chu State to you." ”

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan immediately bowed solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, the minister will go to Hanbei and return with a great victory, if not, the minister will apologize with death!" ”

···

The other side.

In various parts of Hannan, Fengjun and Yin Jiangong Sun Yan of various counties took the guards of the king of Chu back to Yingdu, and then personally commanded the soldiers to build a military camp in the north of Yingdu.

After repeatedly confirming that the news was true, everyone was shocked.

At this time, there was only one thought in everyone's minds, that is, the reluctance of Qi and Wei to accept Chu's request for peace led to the lack of confidence in the war of the king of Chu, so he planned to give up the territory in the north with the intention of defending Yingdu.

Thinking of this, many people began to look for other paths.

Then, the demons in all parts of Hannan danced wildly, and there were those who planned to take refuge in Zilan, those who intended to step on two boats, and those who were determined to repay the country with death.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

After another day of fierce fighting, after the Qin army returned again in vain, Zhu Liji stood outside Xiangyang City, looked at Xiangyang, and couldn't help frowning. It wasn't until it was dark that torches were erected in Xiangyang City, and a fire was set up not far from the city, that he retracted his gaze with an ugly face.

Back in the barracks, after listening to Gan Mao's statistics, he suddenly sighed: "Prime Minister Zuo, you and I have commanded the Qin-Chu coalition army to besiege Xiangyang for more than a month, but judging from the current situation, after a month of fierce fighting, the enemy and I have all suffered a lot of casualties, but the sergeants and soldiers in Xiangyang City have not decreased at all.

Therefore, Ben Jiang is very suspicious, is there really only a small number of soldiers in this Xiangyang City, and the rest are ordinary Zhuang people? Or did Qu Yuan deceive all the nobles of the Chu State, he did not disband Ding Zhuang at all and divide the fields for the people, but let the 50,000 Zhuang men in Xiangyang carry out tuntian, farm during farming, and train in leisure time.

Therefore, we attacked Xiangyang and faced an elite division of 50,000 people who had been training for several years. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain everything that happened in Xiangyang City. With the ferocity of our Qin army, besieging the city of Zhuangding defending the city, and storming it for more than a month, it was not possible to take advantage of it at all, and it did not even occupy a corner of the city wall, which is really unreasonable. ”

Gan Mao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Prime Minister, from below, Xiangyang guards the city and obtains the law, and there must be ink people in the city who are proficient in defending the city." And Qu Yuan, the minister has understood, the reason why he was able to emerge more than ten years ago is because when Qin and Chu were at odds, he used a white coat to encourage a large number of Ding Zhuang to defend the city, and under the siege of the Qin army, he held on until the Chu army came to help.

And Qu Yuan has been in charge of Xiangyang for several years, and he has always been lightly endowed and won the support of the people. Therefore, with Qu Yuan's ability, he will inevitably make the people in the city happy to die.

In addition, before we besieged Xiangyang, the war of various countries besieging Chu had broken out for more than a year, and it was impossible for Qu Yuan not to train Ding Zhuang for such a long time. That's why we besieged Xiangyang, and this situation will occur. ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and then remembered Yancheng, an important town in the south of the Chu army, as well as Yingdu, and froze for a moment, and then asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, is there any news from the king's side, and do we still want to continue to besiege Xiangyang?"

At this time, the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty of Chu have all fallen into the hands of our Qin and Han countries, and the matter of killing Yingdu and letting the prince of Chu cut the land of Hanbei will not work at all for the time being. Therefore, at this time, we should accept it as soon as we see it, immediately lead the army to Wancheng, and pull out the last two nails of the Chu State in the north of Han, so as to weaken the Chu State as much as possible and suppress the power of the Chu State south of the Han River. ”

Gan Mao responded: "Prime Minister, there is no news from the king's side for the time being, I think it will take a little time in the north, after all, the matter of Yiqu is not transferred by our will." Therefore, the matter of retiring from the army is not in a hurry for the time being. ”

Yu Li sighed: "I hope King Yiqu will do it quickly, don't procrastinate like this." ”

Just as he was saying this, a soldier reported outside the tent: "General, the king of Chu's royal chariot has arrived outside the barracks and is about to see the general." ”

"King Chu?" Yu Li was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this King of Chu is Prince Lan of Chu in Deng County.

Thinking about it, Zhu Liji immediately responded: "Okay, please wait for the King of Chu, Ben will go to meet him." ”

After a short time, Zhu Lijian and Gan Mao personally led the joyful Zilan to the tent.

Then, the three of them left you, Zilan sat in the first place, Sheng Jun accompanied him, and Gan Mao sat opposite Zilan.

Finish sitting.

Zhu Liji asked suspiciously: "The minister is smiling constantly when he sees the king, and he comes to see the minister at this time, is there any good news to tell the minister?" ”

"The widow has long heard that the general is called a think tank in the Qin State, and when I see it today, I really know it." Zilan smiled and nodded, and then spoke: "Yes, the widow has good news to tell the two generals. ”

Zhu Li was stunned, for Chu Zilan, the so-called good news was undoubtedly that there was a major problem in the south, thinking about it, he immediately asked: "King, I don't know what the news is?" ”

Zilan said with a smile: "Two generals, not long ago, the widow's father killed Peng Jun and others, and rewarded Yin Jun heavily, in order to force all parts of the country to prevent the widow from returning to the capital. ”

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Gan Mao, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Zilan again, and said: "The king, the king of Chu is gracious and powerful, this is probably not good news for the king!" ”

Zilan nodded, and then said with a smile: "Although this is not good news, but because my father was worried about betrayal from all places, he then forced all places to send troops to Yingdu, and transferred Gongsun Yan back to Yingdu to train troops, which is a great news." ”

"Is it..." Gan Mao immediately thought of a series of possibilities from Zilan's words.
