The news that Zhao Chang led his army to a crushing defeat and fled back to the city in a hurry quickly spread throughout Changchuan City.

In the city, the people who have been comfortable for a long time.

Suddenly hearing that Jingzhou's elite was defeated, Zhao Chang fled back to the city in embarrassment.

Suddenly, a thick cloud hung over the city.

The storm is coming.

The major families are weighing the pros and cons and planning for the future of the family.

In the streets and alleys, all kinds of gossip are spread randomly, making it impossible to guess what Qin Jun is planning.

Patrols appeared in the streets one after another to stabilize the situation, and in the corridors of the city wall, the Jingzhou army became more and more tightly defended.

The tense and solemn atmosphere, the people living in the city already know how dangerous the situation of Changchuan City is.

The roaring killing sound of the beasts outside the city made them tremble in their bones.

clearly knows that the Qin army is coming, and it is still attacking the city.

The whole city is like a purgatory surrounded by hungry ghosts.

Many families are secretly packing up gold and silver, and the situation has changed, and they can flee Changchuan City at any time, lest the Qin army break the city, and the family will suffer and become slaves of the Qin State.

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the city were all focused on Zhao Chang's mansion.

The prince was injured, and the military and political affairs in the city were handed over to Zhao Chang to deal with.

Hope is on Zhao Chang.

At dusk.

The generals in the army went to Zhao Chang's mansion one after another.

There were many people gathered outside the gate of the mansion, and when Dong Qizhong, Guo Muyu and other generals arrived, the people flocked to them and surrounded them in the center.

Under the protection of the guards, Dong Qizhong, Guo Muyu and others got out of the crowd.

In the study, the atmosphere was dull, some people were angry, and some people were full of anger.

Today's battle is the death of Jingxiang.

60,000 Jingxiang Erlang died outside the city, and the land of Jingxiang was stained with blood.

The momentum of the three armies was low, and the people were uneasy.

From the early morning to the present, the Qin army has continuously attacked the city, and regarded Changchuan City as a whetstone for training the Qin army.

Dong Qizhong, Tao Jixi, Lin Cangqiong, Guo Muyu and other generals have experienced all kinds of ups and downs and seen all kinds of worlds.

Qin Jun's humiliation made them feel very angry.

From noon, the Qin army launched attacks on Changchuan City one after another, and at this time, the generals and staff sat on soft cushions, like pins and needles.

The city was trapped, and the prince did not wake up before he fell unconscious.

Someone in the city had to come up with an idea and make a plan.

Zhao Chang's cold eyes swept across the generals and staff in the study, and said indignantly: "At noon, Gavin Guang shot a letter into the city, wanting his father to hand over Changchuan City, but was rejected by a certain force!" ”

"Your Highness is right, King Qin's dog thief, aggressive, how can he dare to let Brother Wang hand over Changchuan City!" Zhao Senkuo slapped his palms on the desk and said violently.

The royal family is weakened, and the heroes are rising.

They trained strong soldiers, and finally managed to defend a rich land, but unexpectedly, tigers and wolves looked around.

Recently, the Qin army marched south and conquered the city in Jingzhou.

What he did was too high-flying.

"Your Highness, there are still defenders in the city, and we must not retreat!" Guo Muyu's eyes were firm, and he said coldly: "Even if you are defeated in the early morning and are killed by the Qin army and lose your armor, you can still hold on and rely on the city as a defense, you can still block the pace of the Qin army and block them in the north of Changchuan City." ”

"You can't retreat, otherwise, King Qin is like a cat that smells fishy, he has to move inch by inch, step by step, the results of the prince's painstaking management for many years, won't he be easily picked!" Lin Cangqiong supports fighting to the death.

Hearing this, Zhao Chang nodded slightly, very satisfied.

At the moment of the great enemy, everyone is united, and there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, Tao Jixi did not agree with Lin Cangqiong and Guo Muyu's suggestion, and said in a low voice: "Today's defeat shows how tightly the Qin King is deployed, the Qin army has traveled a long distance and come from afar, and it still hits the Jingzhou army hard.

Once the Qin army rests outside the city, recovers its spirit, and attacks the city strongly, we will not be able to resist at all.

What's more, the battle suffered heavy losses, and the prince's injuries became more and more serious.

Instead of staying in the city and waiting to die, it is better to quickly transfer and go to Puling City in Xiangzhou, recuperate, and wait for the prince to recover!

Then regroup and expel the Qin army. ”

"Yes, most of the prince's army is in the south, protect the prince to go to the south, go deep into the hinterland of Jingxiang, deploy defenses in advance, and use the rivers and cities in the south to form a chain of defense, which must delay the pace of the Qin army.

The king of Qin led his army on a long journey, and the delay in the south did not lead a major victory, which will inevitably affect the morale of the army. Dong Qizhong said.

In the study, the four generals put forward two different suggestions, whether to defend or to withdraw, and their attitudes were clear.

When Zhao Chang heard this, his face was hesitant and hesitant.

Zhao Sheng and Liu Muyue still led the troops in Jiangbei, accepting the suggestions of Tao Jixi and Dong Qizhong, wouldn't they put the two of them, together with tens of thousands of sailors and elite infantry, in the north of the Guankou River?

If the two elites were buried in Jiangbei, it would be an unprecedented blow to Jing Xiang.

Before the morning, Zhao Chang would not pay attention to Dong Qizhong and Tao Jixi's proposals.

Ask for battle, Tao Jixi, Dong Qizhong rescued him, saved the city, and guessed in advance that the Qin army deliberately used himself as bait, and there was an elite hidden behind him.

Fortunately, they insisted on their opinions, and the defenders in the city did not pour out, otherwise, Changchuan City would have changed hands.

Zhao Chang exhaled and expressed his concerns: "General Dong, General Tao, abandon Changchuan City, what should the second brother and General Liu do, do you leave them in Jiangbei and watch them be wiped out by the Qin army and the Chu army?" ”

At the beginning, the father sent the three brothers to different places, one of the purposes of which was to train the three brothers.

I was even more afraid that the three Zhao brothers stayed in Changchuan City, and when the Qin army broke the city, their father and son were captured by the Qin army.

The foundation of the Zhao family's painstaking management was ruined overnight.

"Your Highness, in order to seize the city and strike at the momentum of the Jingzhou army, the King of Qin led the army commander to drive straight in. But not many elites were sent to fight in Jiangbei. If Sun Ming was lobbied, the two armies could follow the Xiangjiang River, enter the territory controlled by Sun Ming, and finally, return to Qianzhou. Dong Qizhong said.

Even if there is no Zhao Sheng, Liu Muyue, the elite of Jiangbei needs to be withdrawn.

These well-trained elite soldiers will have to resist the Qin army on the battlefield in the future.

"If Sun Ming doesn't agree, it's a big deal to cross the Mingshui River and enter Qianzhou." Tao Jixi supported Dong Qizhong's suggestion, and his attitude was stronger.

"General Tao, General Dong, abandon Changchuan City, greatly affect the momentum of the three armies, and it is very likely to cause a large-scale rout!" Lin Cangqiong said.

Changchuan City is like a dam built by the four states of Jingxiang, if Changchuan City is destroyed, will the Qin army give them a chance?

"Even if you abandon Changchuan City, you should make arrangements in the south in advance, everything is in order, and then evacuate, otherwise, you don't agree!" Guo Muyu expressed his thoughts.

Guo Muyu's attitude basically represents the attitude of most people in the study.

If you want to evacuate, you should also deepen Xiangzhou in advance.

Otherwise, you can't evacuate.

Hearing this, Zhao Chang nodded, his eyes stared at the hall, and a middle-aged man said, "Lord Dai, what do you think?" ”
