Chu State, Yingdu.

"The army of the Zhao people has arrived in Dengcheng?" Chu Guoling Yin Liyuan listened to the news, and his face was very ugly.

To be honest, it was not the first day that Li Yuan knew that Zhao was going to destroy the Chu State, but when the Zhao army had really arrived on the north bank of the Han River and would enter the territory of Chu in a few days, Li Yuan still couldn't stop panicking and fear in his heart.

That is the invincible heroic division that swept through the entire Central Plains and swallowed up the other five countries, and the prestige of this army was not blown out, but fought out with the corpses of countless enemies in a battle.

Now, this male division is eyeing Li Yuan's doorstep, and he may rush in at any time and swallow Li Yuan into his stomach, how can Li Yuan not panic?

"150,000 Zhao troops, there are so many 150,000 Zhao troops!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard, venting the anger in his heart and the trace of fear that was entrapped in the anger.

In fact, Li Yuan also knows very well that the number of 150,000 is really not much.

If the king of Zhao in Handan was willing, an army of 500,000 could appear on the border of Chu at any time.

But the problem is that even if it is a mere 150,000 people, the current Li Yuan can't resist it.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and asked a few cronies in front of him, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Yingdu City now?" ”

Several cronies looked at each other, as if they were afraid to speak.

Seeing this, Li Yuan was even more irritable in his heart, and slapped the table in front of him again: "Say!" ”

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the cronies could only reply: "Back to the king, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Yingdu now. ”

"Thirty thousand?" Li Yuan's eyes widened suddenly: "Only thirty thousand? How can it be only thirty thousand? ”

The latter sentence, Li Yuan almost roared out.

You must know that in order to deal with the attack of Zhao State, Li Yuan has been doing everything possible to catch strong men in various parts of Chu State for a while.

According to the report half a month ago, there were already 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yingdu at that time.

Although Li Yuan also knew very well that the so-called 50,000 soldiers and horses were more like 50,000 rabble, but with such a force of soldiers and horses, at least Li Yuan could still have some hope to fight against Zhao State.

As for surrendering Zhao State...... To be honest, Li Yuan really hasn't had such thoughts.

But once Li Yuan had been dormant in the Chu State for so many years, it was not easy to turn over and gain power, this kind of feeling of controlling the power of a country and turning over as a master was too wonderful, so that Li Yuan was reluctant to give up, and he was no longer willing to return to the previous days of bowing down to others as dogs.

The second reason, needless to say, is because of Mao Sui. Li Yuan still feels extremely angry that he has been tricked by Mao Sui so many times, and then thinks that if he sees Mao Sui's stinky face every day after surrendering to Zhao State, and is a minister in the same palace with Mao Sui every day, Li Yuan feels that he can't pass this level in his heart.

So after a short period of temptation, Li Yuan vetoed the possibility of surrender and concentrated on preparing for war.

As a result, prepare for war, prepare for war, this preparation for a few months, 50,000 people to prepare for war became 30,000 people??

Originally, the hope of 50,000 people being able to defend the city was already very small, but now it has been reduced to 30,000 people, how can this be played?

Li Yuan's eyes were almost about to erupt into flames, and he said almost word by word: "What the hell is going on?" ”

When he said this, Li Yuan's words were obviously murderous.

Li Yuan's cronies were obviously frightened by Li Yuan's temper, and no one dared to speak for a long time.

Seeing that Li Yuan's anger had gradually reached the brink of outburst, a cronie finally spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, actually...... These people have quietly fled. ”

"Escape?" Li Yuan said very dissatisfied: "Could it be that there is a military judge in the army?" The guy who is on the run, just catch it and behead it! ”

The cronie coughed dryly, and said in a more cautious tone: "Actually...... The military judge also fled. ”

Li Yuanleng paused, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

In fact, these cronies still lied to Li Yuan.

The escape did not start half a month ago, but when the news of Zhao's troops came.

As a powerful country that once dominated for a while, there are still many people in the Chu State who understand.

Think about it, so many countries have already perished in the hands of the Zhao State, and now this weak State is not like it, and it has been divided into two halves by Li Yuan and the three major families, and it has also been in a civil war for two years, how can it be the opponent of the Zhao State's army?

Not to mention that the army of Zhao also has that kind of weapon that everyone knows - the earth-shaking thunder.

For many ordinary people in the Chu State, the earth-shattering thunder is simply not too famous.

According to folk rumors, this kind of earth-shaking thunder is a gift from the gods to the Zhao country, as long as any army is against the army of the Zhao country, then it will be completely defeated by the people of Zhao with this power from the gods, no matter how tall the city wall and defense line can not be the opponent of the earth-shaking thunder.

This was an era of superstition, and the state of Chu was one of the most superstitious countries among the Warring States princes.

The monarchs of Chu in the past dynasties have always had another "part-time" identity, that is, the great witch of Chu.

Under such circumstances, the blow of this rumor to the morale of the Chu people can be imagined. Coupled with the years of foreign and civil wars in the Chu State, the burden of the people has already reached a very heavy point, and it can be said that they are overwhelmed. Therefore, when it was learned that the Zhao army had really begun to move south, a large-scale wave of deserters was inevitable.

It's not just deserters, in fact, the population of Yingdu is also decreasing at a rapid rate.

Before this, the tall city walls of Yingdu and the many soldiers would give the people here a great sense of security, but now people know that such a city wall can not stop the people of Zhao from shaking the sky and thunder!

Since this is the case, if you don't take advantage of the current runaway, do you want the people of Zhao to kill in front of you?

Ironically, even the cronies in front of Li Yuan were actually secretly ready to run away, but Li Yuan was still hidden by these subordinates.

Li Yuan sat down a little weakly, and said after a while: "How long will it take for Zhao Jun to arrive in Yingdu?" ”

The cronies replied: "Half a month at most, ten days at least." ”

Li Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "From today onwards, close the city gate and enter the state of defending the city." ”
