Zhan Yangjun's face turned pale when he heard this.

Ever since the King of Chu declared that those of them who had taken refuge in Zilan had become rebellious, they had no way out. If the coalition army is defeated, those of them who were abandoned by the king of Chu, everything will be finished, and nine times out of ten they will be wiped out by the king of Chu.

Thinking about it, Zhan Yangjun didn't want to believe it in his heart, looked at Ying Jun, showed a wry smile that was more ugly than crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Ying Jun, this should be you joking, right?" ”

Ying Jun looked at Zhan Yangjun, his face was flat, and he didn't reply.

After a long time, Zhan Yangjun saw that Ying Jun's face was fearless, and he fixed his mind, and then asked hesitantly: "Ying Jun, we were forced to take refuge in Gongzi Zilan, and we have been declared a rebel by the king, if the coalition is defeated, what should we do?" ”

Ying Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He waited here for a long time, for Zhan Yangjun's words.

"Zhan Yangjun, don't worry!" Ying Jun smiled and said: "The defeat of Danxi has nothing to do with us, and it is not our wish to take refuge in Gongzi Zilan. ”

"Ying Jun, I also believe that it is the king's angry words, with the king's benevolence and righteousness for decades, he should not be able to do such a brutal act, but..." Zhan Yangjun looked at Ying Jun and said with a tangled face: "It's just that the king's words have already been spoken, how can he take it back." ”

"Why is Zhan Yangjun so confused!" Ying Jun smiled, then shook his head and sighed: "Since the invasion of Chu by various countries, our Chu State has lost the lands of Hanzhong and Shangyong and Hanbei, and the generals Zhao Rat, Ye Gong Jinjun and others have been killed in battle, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded more than 100,000 people.

Also, in Chendi, the land north of Chencheng has been taken by the Wei State, and Sima Zhaoju led an army of 150,000, together with the people in the city, with more than 150,000 casualties.

After this battle, my Chu State can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality! ”

Zhan Yangjun showed a burst of joy in his heart when he heard this, although the Chu State suffered heavy losses, although these feudal monarchs also suffered heavy losses, but, no matter what, outside of Xiangyang, the total number of troops in their hands still exceeded 40,000, which was the foundation of their existence.

Thinking about it, Zhan Yangjun walked out happily: "Ying Jun said that the king will suffer heavy losses in this battle, and he plans to surrender us." ”

Ying Jun nodded, then shook his head again.

Zhan Yangjun was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What does Ying Jun mean by this?" ”

Ying Jun pondered for a while, looked at Zhan Yangjun for a long time, and then said with a heavy face: "The king does not want to recruit me, but intends to let me wait for the guilty and meritorious service." ”

"Guilty of meritorious service?" Zhan Yangjun was stunned for a moment, Ying Jun's meaning was obvious, he had already connected with the King of Chu in Yingdu. But at this moment, Zhan Yangjun didn't pay attention to this, but asked suspiciously: "How can it be regarded as a meritorious service?" ”

Ying Jun said the edicts of the King of Chu one by one, and then looked at Zhan Yangjun, whose expression was constantly changing, and was silent.

At this time, Zhan Yangjun also fell silent.

Again, it was a difficult choice.

The last time Zilan raised the butcher's knife, everyone was forced to take refuge in Zilan, there was no choice.

This time, although it seems that there is a choice, how to choose is more difficult than last time.

At present, although Zhan Yangjun has believed in the defeat of the Korean army, judging from the current situation, the Chu army has not yet fully taken the advantage.

As long as the Han army does not return to South Korea, but continues to stay on the west bank of Xishui, then the Qin army's back grain route has not been cut off. In this way, the Qin army, which had no worries, was still stronger than the Chu army in northern Hanbei. If the situation of the Han army is unclear, it is rashly betrayed, and once it is hit by the thunder of the Qin army, then these Chu troops outside Xiangyang City will definitely not be able to stop it.

Moreover, Qu Yuan in Xiangyang City may not take the risk to save them, let alone let them enter the city, in this way, they will be in danger. If they lose their army, they will have no value, so they can only give up everything in Chu and go to other countries.

But if the Qin army did not trust Korea and decided to retreat from Xiangyang, but they hesitated and missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, then their army would also be meaningless to the Chu state.

At that time, I am afraid that they will be surrounded and suppressed by Gongsun Yanqu Yuan and Yin Jun and others, so what awaits them is to exterminate the clan.

Thinking about it, Zhan Yangjun's head was sweating like rain, and his heart fell into a violent struggle.

Now, he is in the midst of a big gamble, a big gamble that has cost his life, and if he makes a mistake, he will have nothing. Moreover, at this time, he can't stop betting, and if he doesn't, he will also have nothing.

After a long time, Zhan Yangjun touched the cold sweat on his forehead, then raised his head, looked at Ying Jun and said, "Ying Jun, how did you know the news of the king?" ”

Ying Jun smiled when he heard this: "Zhan Yangjun, you know, Ying Di is in the north of Ye Di, and Ye Gong is a neighbor in Xia.

A few months ago, Ye Gong's son led the children of the clan over the age of fourteen to defend the Ye Land, but unfortunately, all these people died in Ye City. Not only that, after Zilan learned that Ye Gong would rather die than surrender, she even ordered Ye Gong to be destroyed.

Although most of Ye Gongzi's heirs were executed by Zhaoling Jun, one of Ye Gong's disciples fled to the north with Ye Gong's three-year-old great-grandson and was rescued by the dog. The dog knew that he had always admired Ye Gong in the future, so he hid it. A month ago, Inuko sent him to Yingdu. ”

Zhan Yangjun looked at Ying Jun and said, "In other words, the matter of making us guilty and meritorious service was said by the king himself." ”

Ying Jun nodded.

Then, Zhan Yangjun also nodded.

Seeing this, Ying Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhan Yangjun, the feudal monarch who took the lead in taking refuge under Zilan's persecution, stood on Yingdu's side again, then the other forced feudal monarchs would no longer have any worries.

Early the next morning.

Qu Yuan stood on the wall of Xiangyang and looked in the direction of the Qin army camp outside the city without saying a word.

Long.

A scout quickly ran to Qu Yuan's side: "General, the spies have come to report that the Qin army has retreated overnight, and the Qin army camp is empty at this moment. ”

"Good!" Qu Yuan nodded, then frowned, and turned his head to look in the other direction to the north, where was the location of the Pseudo-Chu camp. At this moment, he is waiting for news from Ying Jun.

Although the current situation is very good, the strength of the Qin army is still much stronger than that of Xiangyang City.

If the Chu army outside the city did not defect, Qu Yuan would not dare to go out of the city to pursue and kill the Qin army.

It's just that Qu Yuan couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied when he saw that there was no movement coming from the direction of Chu Ying.

"Order, send 3,000 Chu troops to the Qin army camp and burn the Qin army camp." Qu Yuan looked intently at the Chu army's big camp.

"No!"

Soon, Qu Yuan saw this burst of fire burning at the location of the Qin army's camp on the city wall, and after a while, a scout came to report: "General, the spies are here, there is something wrong with the Chu army's camp, it seems that they are fighting among themselves!" ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Soon.

Zhan Yangjun hurried to Xiangyang, entered the city, came to Qu Yuan, and after presenting two wooden boxes, Baiwei Chen Zao arched his hand and said: "General Qu, under the order of the king, I have come to offer the head of Zhaoling Jun and Yiyang Jun, and ask the general to surrender." ”
