Qu Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the heads of Zhaolingjun and Yiyangjun in the wooden box. Then, looking at Zhan Yangjun, who was bowing his head in front of him, he asked, "Where is Gongzi Zilan?" ”

Zhan Yangjun immediately responded: "Back to the general's words, Gongzi Zilan went to the Qin camp yesterday to ask why the Qin army suddenly withdrew its troops, but as a result, he did not return all night. Thinking about it, at this time, Gongzi Zilan had already retreated with the Qin army. ”

Qu Yuan frowned slightly, and said secretly: It seems that Qin Guo still has no heart to die!

Then, he looked at Zhan Yangjun again, and then looked at the head in the wooden box, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

Now that Zilan is in deep danger, it cannot be ruled out that this is Zilan's desperate gamble to exchange the lives of Zhaolingjun and Yiyangjun for Xiangyang.

Thinking about it, Qu Yuan nodded unchanged, and then spoke: "Zhan Yangjun, the heads of Zhaoling Jun and the two have already shown your sincerity, but these two heads can only be regarded as the credit of two people. If you want to make a great contribution and avoid responsibility, you have to exchange the heads of the generals of the Qin army. ”

When Zhan Yangjun heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

"Good!" Qu Yuan nodded and said, "Now that the Qin army has retreated, the king is unwilling to let the Qin army leave calmly. The rhino head set out from Wancheng two days ago, detoured to Xiyi, followed the Danshui, went down the river, and waited for the Qin army in front in advance.

Therefore, ask Zhan Yangjun to return to the camp immediately and tell Ying Jun to immediately lead the army to chase and kill the Qin army, delay the movement of the Qin army, and buy time for the rhino head. The general will then lead the defenders of Xiangyang as a backup, and you and I will pursue and kill the Qin army together. ”

"No."

Japan.

After 200,000 Qin troops stretched for nearly ten miles, running wildly for most of the day, Gan Mao came to the side of Zhu Liji, and said with a heavy face: "Prime Minister, the spies have just come to report that the Chu army that had taken refuge in us has betrayed, and under the leadership of Ying Jun, it has been chased ten miles away from the rear army?"

Moreover, after Ying Jun, there were 60,000 Chu troops, more than ten miles behind them. ”

"This..." Zhu Liji's betrayal of the Chu army had long been expected, but he still didn't expect that Zhao Lingjun and the others would fail so quickly, and let Ying Jun catch up first.

And the 60,000 Chu troops behind Ying Jun startled him even more, and he couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "Is it the defenders of Xiangyang, or the reinforcements from all over the Chu State?" ”

Gan Mao's face was heavy and said: "It's just the defenders of Xiangyang, and the spies haven't found the banner of Yancheng's defender Yin Jun in this Chu army. ”

Zhu Liji's face suddenly turned dark: "There are still 60,000 Chu troops in Xiangyang City, no wonder we have been attacking for two months, and Xiangyang City has not moved at all, it seems that the defeat of Shangyong was premeditated by the Chu State, and the purpose is to lure us and others to go deep into the Chu State." If it weren't for the sudden rebellion of Zhao Lingjun and others in the Danxi defense line, I'm afraid we would have suffered a big loss this time. ”

Gan Mao nodded, if it weren't for the scouts who repeatedly checked the number of Chu troops, he wouldn't have believed that there were still so many people in the Chu army in Xiangyang.

At this moment, the deception of the Han Dynasty in the Chu State has been undoubtedly revealed.

Now, what Gan Mao is worried about is whether the Qin State can rush to Shangyong in advance before Gongsun Yan.

On the other side, Zhu Li groaned slightly, and then said to Gan Mao: "Prime Minister Zuo, the Chu army is coming too fast, and we must leave a broken army to hold back the Chu army, so as not to slow down our army by the Chu army." ”

Gan Mao responded: "Okay, after I am willing to lead 5,000 soldiers to break off, I will buy half a day for the army." ”

Zhu Li shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, 5,000 soldiers is too little, let's bring 10,000 elite soldiers." After nightfall, Prime Minister Zuo can lead the army back. ”

"No."

After Gan Mao quickly moved towards the front of the army, he immediately ordered to the left and right: "Pass the order and speed up the march." ”

"No!"

Soon, the Qin soldiers and soldiers slightly accelerated their marching speed under the urging of the generals, but soon, the Qin army, which had been running wildly for most of the day and was physically and mentally exhausted, slowed down again.

In the Chu army.

Just when Ying Jun was constantly urging the army to speed up, a scout came to report: "General, eight miles ahead, there is a Qin army of about 10,000 people. They have set up a position, as if they want to intercept us and others. ”

"An army of about 10,000 people!" Ying Jun showed a hint of joy when he heard this, and then shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that the Qin army's broken division is too small, and the army of 10,000 people is only ten two or five hundred masters, three deputy generals, and one main general, which is not enough!" ”

When the generals on Ying Jun's side heard this, they all nodded approvingly.

The edict of the king of Chu, at this time, the defeat of the Qin army is no longer counted as the merit of those who have taken refuge in Gongzi Zilan, and they must be able to be attributed to the Qin generals.

Excluding Zhaoling Jun and Yiyang Jun, there were a total of eleven feudal monarchs who took refuge in Zilan at the beginning, and now, there are nine people who have only been exempted from the responsibility of exterminating the clan, and the rest of the responsibility depends on the next performance.

At the thought that he might be demoted to a commoner, everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.

Jiulijun took the lead in asking for orders: "General, although there are only four generals on the other side, but there are four anyway, please give the general an order, and if you are willing to be the vanguard, you will be killed." ”

When the others heard this, they were so anxious that they asked for battle.

Before Ying Jun could speak, a scout came to report: "General, the former army's Emperor is here to report, he has led the vanguard and the front army to pounce on the Qin army, please go to support immediately." ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and before the emperor got the order, he took the lead.

Seeing this, Ying Jun immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army moves forward, break through the Qin army, and don't leave the Qin generals." ”

As soon as Ying Jun's voice fell, the others responded: "Don't leave General Qin..."

The other side.

Jun took the killing to the front of the Qin army, looked up, and instantly found the general flag of the former commander of the Qin army.

Seeing this, Jun Jun immediately showed great joy, directly pointed to the position of the general flag, and shouted: "Everyone, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, as long as you kill General Qin, we can be exempted from responsibility." Otherwise, if our family is small, we will inevitably be demoted to a concubine.

Kill the enemy, make meritorious service, and be exempted! ”

As he spoke, he directly led the guards and rushed straight to where the flag was.

Then, the disciples and clansmen of the Emperor all shouted the slogan of "Killing the enemy and making meritorious service and exempting the guilty", and followed the Emperor to kill the Qin army.

Inspired by the personal charge of the king, driven by the generals, and spurred by the whole family being demoted to a concubine, more than 10,000 Chu troops were red-eyed and moved forward to kill the Qin army.

After rushing through several waves of arrows, he led his guards to the front of the Qin army, and then, he directly used himself and his guards as arrows to kill the Qin army's formation.

At the beginning of the battle, the monarch relied on his heavy armor to protect him, and in the face of the halberd stabbed by the Qin soldiers, after avoiding the vital parts, he quickly rushed in with other halberds. Then, in the surprised gaze of the Qin soldier on the opposite side, at the cost of minor injuries, he killed them closely, and then waved the long sword in his hand with a hideous face, and beheaded a soldier with a sword.

At the same time, the king's progress did not stop, and then, two more steps forward, and then slew another soldier.
