Chapter 105: Coercion and Temptation

Doctor Shangguan was very uneasy about Qu Yuan's stay in Yingdu, and now Ling Yin Jingli, who has not returned to Yingdu, has been transferred away, and it may be difficult to suppress Qu Yuan with only a Zhaoyu who has not taken care of the government for more than ten years.

After thinking about it for a long time, after the king of Chu gave an order, he offered advice: "King, as the old saying goes, salute first and then soldier." The minister thought that before intimidating South Korea, he could also lure South Korea first. โ€

"Seducing South Korea? I don't know what Xianqing's plan is? Xiong Huai asked.

Doctor Shangguan replied: "King, as Gong Yin said, Korea is greedy and profitable, and our Chu State can use five cities as bait to ask Korea to break off diplomatic relations with Qin. If South Korea does not obey, then the 300,000 troops of our Chu State will besiege the capital of Korea, if South Korea agrees, then it will inevitably anger the Qin State, and in the face of the anger of the Qin State, then South Korea will not dare to ask our Chu State for the city, maybe it will also give me the city of Chu State, and ask the two countries to form an alliance. โ€

If South Korea directly breaks off diplomatic relations with South Korea without intimidation, this is really good.

Moreover, it is very likely that Dr. Shangguan said that South Korea would sue for peace.

This strategy is actually a copy of Qin's land offering, but the difference is that Qin dares to ask for it if it dares to give it to Chu, while Chu and South Korea are not equal, Chu dares to give it but South Korea may not dare to ask for it.

Even if South Korea really dares to ask for it, then Xiong Huai will dare to give it, but the next time Qin attacks South Korea, then South Korea will have to spit it out twice.

After listening to what Doctor Shangguan said, Chen Zhen said: "King, this strategy is feasible, and it can also pull Zhao and Wei together, and use the two countries as a guarantee to put pressure on South Korea, once South Korea refuses, then Zhao and Wei will only be annoyed and angry, and South Korea will be completely isolated, in the face of the threat of the war of our Chu State, if South Korea wants to keep the capital, then it must be conscripted by the whole country." โ€

"As long as it takes a long time, there is no need for our Chu State to send troops, South Korea will be defeated without a fight, and I am afraid that even the grain and grass on Shencha's side will not be able to support it."

Chen Zhen perfected this plan again, if South Korea still does not agree, then King Han really wants to isolate himself from the world.

South Korea followed Qin Guoming, and there will definitely be no good end.

Xiong Huai's mind turned and agreed: "Okay, then make peace with South Korea first, and as for intimidating South Korea, it will be carried out at the same time." Hmph, if King Han doesn't agree, then the 500,000 troops of my Chu State Dengdi will scare King Han to death. โ€

After discussing the affairs of Korea, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen: "Xianqing, how is the matter between Yiqu and Bashu now?" โ€

Chen Zhen replied: "Great King, our operation to persuade Yiqu to send troops has failed, and Yiqu saw that Qin was heavily guarded and rejected the proposal to send troops to Qin. โ€

"As for the two countries of Bashu, they also failed, and the Qin general Sima Coo guarded Bashu and guarded the king of Shu, and the king of Shu did not dare to rebel against the Qin state."

Xiong Huai sighed, pinning his hopes on others, but it was really unreliable.

Qin Ying.

Wei Zhang took a wooden tablet and said to Yuli: "General, our army suffered more than 30,000 casualties in this battle, including more than 10,000 dead and 15,000 wounded in the army that attacked the Chu army's camp. โ€

"On the other side of the Korean army, because the battle situation is not as fierce as our Qin army, and because of the early retreat, the casualties should not exceed 10,000, we don't know how."

Zhu Liji said with a gloomy face: "Now that the Chu army has broken through, and the king of Chu has come in person, our Qin State's plan to seize Hanzhong has failed, and it seems that God will not bless my Qin State." โ€

Wei Zhang nodded and said: "General, the whole battle is not conducive to the reconnaissance of the number of people in Qu Lu's department, if Qu Lu only has 100,000 people, at this time, the Hanzhong of Chu State is already owned by my Qin State." โ€

Zhu Li said: "It's useless to talk about this now, now our Qin army has been fighting hard for many days, and today it has failed to defeat the Chu army, and its morale has been lost, and I am afraid it will be difficult to act again in a short time." โ€

"Report to the general." At this time, a general walked in outside and said to Yu Li: "General, news came from the Chu army, and there was a cry in the Chu army camp just now. โ€

"Cry!?" Wei Zhang asked at the same time, and then asked Li Liji: "Have you ever found out, why is Chu Jun crying?" โ€

"Back to the general, the specific reason is unknown, but according to the scout's report, the first place where the cry sounded was the wounded barracks of the Chu State."

"Wounded barracks!" Zhu Li Ji thought thoughtfully, and asked Wei Zhang: "The chief thinks that in the wounded barracks, that Chu army has the most wounded soldiers?" โ€

Wei Zhang replied: "General, I'm afraid that Qu Kuo's department has the most wounded soldiers. โ€

Zhu Liji agreed: "The words of the chief coincide with the general, the king of Chu led the troops to come in person, but there were only two battles before and after, one victory and one draw. Today's battle failed to defeat the Chu army in one battle, and the army brought by the king of Chu would not cry so easily, so the army that wept bitterly must be Qu Lu's department. โ€

Wei Zhang said: "General, in this way, the army under Qu Kuo is not to worry, and this cry will inevitably reduce the morale of the Chu army." โ€

Yu Lijian lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked at Wei Zhang and asked, "I want to attack the Chu army camp at night, I don't know what the chief thinks?" โ€

Wei Zhang said: "General, we also need to beware that the cry of the Chu army is just a ploy to induce us, Qu Kuo's department is the elite of the Chu army, and he has not cried for more than 20 days after being besieged, and it is a bit abnormal to return to the Chu camp to cry today." Today, our army is tired from hard fighting, and is not ready for a night attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Chu army. If the army rests for a day tomorrow and prepares during the day, it will have the ability to attack the Chu army at night tomorrow night. โ€

When he heard that Wei Zhang disagreed, he didn't insist, and said: "What the chief said is not bad, it is indeed not appropriate to use swords today." โ€

"As for whether the cry of the Chu camp is a ploy of the Chu army, I will know it at a try."

"Ordered the three armies, the army placed white flags, and I was going to set up a mourning hall in the army, and swore to the sky that I would definitely avenge Gongzihua."

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

Chu Ying.

Xiong Huai is making arrangements for tomorrow's retreat.

"Newspaper..."

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of an announcement outside the tent.

After a partial general came in, he saluted the king of Chu and said, "The last general, Sun Jing, the partial general, pays a visit to the king. โ€

"What's the emergency?" Xiong Huai frowned and asked.

Sun Jing hurriedly said: "King, just now the scout came to report, the Qin camp hung up a white cloth, and was mourning for the prince of Qin, Huafa, and the commander of the Qin army swore an oath in the army to take revenge on my Chu State." โ€

Xiong Huai almost exploded when he heard this, the Qin army was just a dead son, and his own side had eight dead feudal lords plus an extraordinary doctor, and dozens of nobles, and it was not the turn of the Qin State to take revenge.

Zhao Ju was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Great King, maybe the cry of our army was known to the Qin army just now, and it is very likely that the mourning of Gongzi Hua at this time is very likely to stimulate the Qin army and form a mourning atmosphere, and when our soldiers have no heart to fight, they intend to fight with our Chu army again." โ€

Xiong Huai took a big breath of cold air, and if he fought with the Qin State at this time, it would be really ignorant.

has already fought two battles with the Qin State, one win and one draw, it is enough, and if you fight again, it will be stupid.

But his unwillingness to fight did not prevent the Qin army from forcibly attacking the camp, especially this kind of wooden camp that was only the most rudimentary.

Now the army has no fighting spirit, once the Qin army attacks the camp, if it collapses in a battle, it will be a great joke.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai glanced at the ministers, and when he saw that they had changed color, he immediately said: "Cai Wei Cai Wei, say return, return to return, the meaning of the soldiers in the army, few people know." The army was ordered to withdraw to the south of Danshui overnight and return to the previous Dannan camp. โ€
