Feng Hou Chou said with a heavy face: "General, the situation is very bad, in the case that the Qin army does not have large-scale siege weapons, under the continuous strong attack of the Qin army, we have paid more than 3,000 casualties today, including nearly 1,000 killed in battle, more than 1,000 seriously injured, and less than 1,000 lightly injured, the Qin army is attacking very fiercely." ”

Qu Kuo asked again: "What about Qin Jun?" ”

Feng Hou Chou replied: "Rough estimate, I'm afraid there will be more than 10,000 casualties." ”

Qu Kuo nodded and said, "I know, and then send someone to ask the king for help." ”

Feng Hou Chou was stunned and said: "General, I have asked the king for help three times today. ”

Qu Kuo said: "The spies reported that the remaining 100,000 Qin troops and 80,000 Han troops have arrived today. In addition, there was a Qin army with a large number of strategic materials, including a lot of siege equipment, appeared outside Yuzhong, and returned to the battlefield the day after tomorrow. Moreover, the craftsmen of the Qin army, who were building siege equipment dozens of miles away, had already prepared a lot of siege weapons. ”

Feng Hou Scandal Yan took a big breath of cold air, and then sighed: "Yes, the last general understands." ”

A day later, late at night, Chu Palace.

Li Qiu shouted outside a room: "The king... The King..."

Xiong Huai, who was sleeping, was awakened by Li Qiu.

Xiong Huai opened his sleepy eyes and asked dissatisfiedly, "What bothered the widow?" ”

Li Qiu explained: "The king, Gong Yin is in a hurry, there is an urgent military situation, please summon the king." ”

"Urgent military intelligence?" As soon as Xiong Huai heard the news, his drowsiness immediately dissipated, he instantly woke up, took away the pink jade arm on his body, walked out of the room in a single dress, and asked, "What military situation?" ”

Li Qiu bent down deeply, lowered his head and said, "Gong Yin said: The general was attacked by the Qin army. ”

"What?" Xiong Huai's face changed, and he immediately reconfirmed: "Really? ”

Before Li Qiu could answer, Xiong Huai had already pinched his waist fiercely.

"It hurts! It's not a dream. Xiong Huai's face changed again.

"King, Gong Yin is outside the palace, waiting for the king to summon you." Li Qiu replied.

"Let Gongyin come to see me immediately, and in addition, give an order to let Zhongqing come to the Chu Palace immediately to discuss matters." Xiong Huai said as he walked towards the room.

Li Qiu responded: "Only." ”

Back in the room, Qin Meiren had already woken up, and when she saw that the king of Chu was taking the clothes to wear by herself, she didn't care about being shy, and immediately got out of bed to change the clothes for the king of Chu.

Xiong Huai saw Qin Meiren coming over to dress herself, stretched out his hand to push Qin Meiren away, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

Qin Meiren was suddenly pushed by the King of Chu, fell to the ground, her pale face showed an innocent and puzzled look, looked at the King of Chu and muttered, "King? ”

Xiong Huai didn't explain, and with the help of the maid who came in later, he put on his clothes and left without saying a word.

"King, I don't know Qin Beauty..." Li Qiu asked.

Xiong Huai paused, and somehow thought of Wei Meiren and Qi Meiren, so he took three deep breaths and sighed: "The two countries are fighting, the woman is innocent, wrong, wrong, wrong, Mo Mo Momo, keep the position of beauty, the treatment is still the same, so be it." ”

In the main hall.

When Zhao Ju arrived, Xiong Huai was already sitting on top of the main hall.

"Meet the King." Zhao Ju saluted.

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "No need to be polite, how are the generals?" ”

Zhao Ju hurriedly said: "Great King, according to the report from the general, the 300,000 Qin troops of the Qin army and the 100,000 Qin troops of Wei Zhang's department have arrived thirty miles away from the general's military camp, and at this time, the big war must have broken out." ”

"The general's headquarters only... There are only 150,000 troops, and the Qin-Han coalition army is conservatively estimated to be around 500,000. ”

Xiong Huai agreed: "Yes, there is a huge difference in the number of people, 500,000 against 10..."

Xiong Huai was slightly stunned, raised his eyebrows, and asked Zhaoju, "150,000 troops?" ”

Zhao Ju hurriedly bowed again: "Great King, yes, now the general has 150,000 troops in his hands. ”

Xiong Huai knew after a little thought that these extra troops must be the armies of those feudal lords of Chu State, except for them, Xiong Huai couldn't think of where this extra army came from.

Xiong Huai once again remembered the lively scene outside the General's Mansion, and laughed angrily: "Good, good, a group of loyal ministers who are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, it is really the luck of the widow and the luck of the Chu State." ”

Zhao Ju was afraid that the king of Chu would be impulsive at this time, so he would settle accounts with those feudal monarchs, and said: "Great King, the top priority is the Qin State, and it is not too late to talk about other things later." ”

Xiong Huai snorted coldly and nodded.

At this time, Qu Yuan took the lead in and saluted the king of Chu: "Meet the king." ”

"No courtesy." Xiong Huai then said to Zhao Ju: "Xianqing, how to deal with the Qin State, wait for all the secretaries to come and then discuss." ”

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Ju responded.

Soon, the other ministers arrived at the main hall one after another.

After seeing that everyone was coming, Zhao Ju said again: "Everyone..."

When Xiong Huai introduced the situation in Zhaoju, he observed Zhongqing's expression expressionlessly, and when Zhaoju said that Qu Ju had an army of 150,000 in his hands.

Chen Zhen's pale face was directly stunned, he was an outsider and had an understanding of the situation in the Chu State, but he didn't know enough about it.

Qu Yuan's shocked face was slightly relaxed, as if he was relieved.

Qu Yuan knew that Qu Kuo must have more than 100,000 troops in his hands, but he didn't know how many there were.

The ministers of the Chu State basically did not take Qu Yuan to play together, and Qu Yuan's tentacles never reached the army, so there was only a general impression, but not an accurate number.

And the other ministers all had expressions that I knew very well, which made Xiong Huai feel like eating a huge fly, although it seemed to be full, but it was extremely disgusting.

After Zhao Ju finished speaking, Chen Zhen immediately bowed down: "King, the minister is guilty of death!" ”

The plan was proposed by Chen Zhen and Gongsun Yan, and now that the Qin State is attacking the Chu State, as the proposer of the plan, he naturally has to take responsibility for the King of Chu.

Before Xiong Huai could speak, Doctor Shangguan immediately said: "King, Keqing Chen Zhen has misled the country and harmed the people, and Weichen thinks that he is a spy sent by the Qin State, and he should be executed to set an example." ”

As the vanguard of the aristocracy, Dr. Shangguan will treat people right and wrong once it is involved.

Recently, Chen Zhen has become more and more trusted and valued by the king of Chu, which has aroused the vigilance of the ministers of Chu.

Moreover, Yin Zhaoyang, the former commander who recommended Chen Zhen, is dead.

Several ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty, what the doctor said is reasonable..."

"Bang, bang."

With a loud bang, Xiong Huai slammed a book on the case to the ground, and said angrily: "Now that our Chu State is facing a sneak attack by the Qin State, the most important thing now is how to deal with the Qin State. ”

Xiong Huai took out his sword, cut off a corner of the table and said, "If there is another person who has this discussion, just like this case, cut it!" ”

When Doctor Shangguan and the others heard this, they immediately turned pale and pleaded guilty: "The minister is a capital crime." ”

Seeing that they couldn't afford to bow down for a long time, Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Okay, let's all get up." ”
