Chapter 69: Response
In the case of Chu, the sacrifice must be sunset. That night, Xiong Yuan sacrificed to the Taimiao to personally conquer the imperial Qin, and went to the country early the next morning, and was sent to the outskirts of Yingdu by Xiong Jing and Ling Yin Huangxie with hundreds of officials. Chu people are light and irritable, frank and sharp, yesterday I suddenly heard that the king personally conquered Qin, today when the city to send off. The surging crowd of people, the eagerness of loyalty, in the speechless, only in the ground to worship a few times. Sending the king away and wishing the king triumphant, even if they couldn't see the king's banner, they still couldn't get up.
"Hey! My king is going. "Yingdu City Tower, Jinghua, who is still the city Yin, also bowed to the king of Chu, and when he couldn't see the queue of the king's pawns, he sighed, dazed.
"yes. My king is gone. Sima Shenyong answered. Unlike him Jinghua, there was some joy in his words - in order to check and balance Ling Yin, Jinghua naturally couldn't leave the capital. Jinghua did not leave the capital, and some generals in the left army who might not obey orders went out with the king, leaving only 5,000 people. At this time, except for the 1,000 guards who stayed in the palace and more than 1,000 East Palace armorers, Yingdu was all in the hands of the general.
"The prince has sent another letter, asking the general to make a decision as soon as possible." Everyone dispersed, and when there was no one around, Shen Yong reminded.
The king died alone, but Shen Yong reminded himself to kill the prince and set up another king of Chu, and Jing Hua was unhappy in his heart. He said coldly: "It's so urgent, how many gold and silver beauties have you received?!" β
"General," Shen Yong Khan, "the villain's persuasion is not for accepting gold and silver beauties, but for the general." β
"For me?!" Jing Hua looked at Shen Yongqiang's eyes even colder. "Or the pair of sibling beauties you recently received?"
"Definitely!" Shen Yong bowed, "Today, the king's pawn is the first, the Ying's pawn is the last, and the Ying's pawn is finished, and the Jiangdong pawn is coming across the river." Jiangdong is the fief of Huang Xie, Jiangdong died, Huang Xie will kill the eldest son and stand up for the bear. At that time, the general is in danger! β
Shen Yong was stunned when he mentioned Jiangdong's pawn Jinghua. In order to strengthen Qin, the entire state of Chu has been mobilized, including Huang Xie's fiefdom Jiangdong, and Huiji, the hometown of Yue. The counties in the north and south of Huaishui include Ludi or along the Huai River to the west, or to the west by land, the south of the Yangtze River is not so convenient, after crossing the river, go north to Huaiyin along the ditch, and only then can you go to Yingdu and Chengyang from Huaiyin against Huaishui.
At that time, it must be the soldiers of Jiangbei who will come to the front line to fight the Qin army first, and the soldiers of Jiangdong will go all the way against the current, and the frontline war will be over when they arrive in Yingdu. Huang Xie is the feudal monarch of Jiangdong, and the pawn of Jiangdong must be ordered by him.
"Jiangdong's pawn fruit to Yingdu?" Jing Hua was suspicious in his heart, "Why didn't Jiangdong's pawn go to Judi?" β
"General, Qilu has been an enemy for hundreds of years, there are millions of Dingkou in Ludi, and Judi can be garrisoned by Lu people, and there is no need for Jiangdong soldiers to go, so Jiangdong's soldiers will go to Yingdu." Shen Yong explained: "If the king falls in the army, Huang Xie and others will raise troops to seize the prince and make Xiong Fierce the king." If I wait for Jiangdong to die, it will be too late to regret it! β
"Really?" The situation seemed to be completely in front of Jing Hua, forcing him to make a decision.
"It must be so!" Shen Yong was determined, and then asked: "If this is not the case, why did the king let the general stay in Ying?" And why did he leave the king with five thousand? This is all to prevent Huang Xie from killing the eldest son and seizing the reserve. β
"Then I, then I ......" When he thought of the king Jinghua, he was ashamed, and the king wanted him to ensure the smooth accession of the crown prince, implying that he would be the great Sima in the future, but he wanted to kill the prince and set up someone else. He went down to the Yellow Spring, how could he face the king?
Shen Yong naturally knew his hardships, and only persuaded: "The eldest son is on the throne, and he can be crowned before he can be pro-government." Before the crowning, the power of the Chu State was in the hands of Huang Xie, and the death of the country was imminent. Punishing Huang Xie, establishing a new king, and changing the law, this is the blessing of the Chu State rather than the disaster of the Chu State. The king Huang Quan knew that although he was subordinate to the general, he also knew that the general's move was not for personal gain, but for the sake of the Chu State. β
'Smackββ! Shen Yong seemed to have persuaded Jing Hua, but he didn't expect that he had just fallen into the Gu and received a heavy slap from Jing Hua. This slap made him dizzy, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time.
"Get out!" Jing Hua's eyes trembled, his face twitched, and the hand that pumped him was still raised.
"Yui!" The slap was too heavy, and half of Shen Yong's face was already swollen, and he gritted his teeth and bowed away.
'Pap, papa, pap, ......pap' After Shen Yong left, the hand that pumped him and slapped Jinghua himself, this is not a hit, this is an countless plan. It wasn't until both sides of his face were numb that Jing Hua stopped to whean and gasp, and a beastly wail came out of his mouth.

"The prince led the prince to save Chengyang." More than 600 miles away, Xiang Yan, who had entered the hilly area at the junction of Chu and Qin from Pingchang Pass, received a summons from Yingdu. Crossing the Huaishui on this side of the Chu Realm, it is no longer so convenient to transmit information, and counting the time, this is the message from two days ago.
The people in the military tent of "The Great Prince Led ......" were first surprised, and then a stream of blood burned all over their bodies, and they were excited. Everyone couldn't sit still, and they couldn't wait to enter the Qin realm now and pull out the Jiyi.
"The king has led the king to Chengyang, and Chengyang has no worries." Xiang Yan was not in a very good mood, he seemed to be really wrong - the Qin army was all invaded by Biyang, because he went west to Baji, more than 100 miles north of Chengyang to Magu, and the Qin army was like entering a no-man's land.
"General, Xiyang Lingjun has a saying: It's not too late to see rabbits and dogs; It's not too late to make amends. Now the Qin army came from Biyang, our army should return to the city as soon as possible, although it can not meet the enemy outside the horse valley, but also can attack the Qin army in the dangerous place in the north of the city, and then join forces with the king. Cheng Tong, the general of Xixian County, endured the words for several days, and took the opportunity to say it, and Xiang Yan's face became darker and darker.
"Since our army has crossed the Huaishui, there is no reason to return to the city." Xiang Yan had to refute it. "The armies have gone out of the city with ten days' provisions, how many days are left? If you can't force the Huaishui to cross the river the day after tomorrow, you will pull out the Jiyi on three days and cover it. Qin Jun came here, saying that he was the eldest son, but he was actually Chengyang. Since it is Chengyang, why give up the near and seek the far, avoid the heavy and light? I expect that the Qin army will be in two ways, one is in Biyang to lure me to fight, and the other is Jiyi Yin to attack Chengyang. Now that our army has come here, we should win a great victory to protect the king......'s grace."
Xiang Yan is a general, with few words, only determination. It's just that the news of the king's personal conquest will definitely spread in the army, and the soldiers may really want to join forces with the king, so they have to say a few more words. At the same time as he spoke, in the hilly area at the junction of Chu and Qin, a fast horse was galloping for its life, and it was followed by five Qin horsemen more than ten zhang away, and the people on the horse were purple-clothed and green-robed, wearing leather and brown armor, and holding a crossbow in their hands.
The horses of Chu are mostly raised in the outer stables, and the horses of Qin are galloping on the grasslands, how can the two be compared? The result of the horse is not as good as the horse is to chase closer and closer, and when the chase is three or five zhang away, the first horse Qin cavalry arrow is fired, and the Chu army rider falls off the horse with the arrow.
"Kill!" The wounded rider struggled to his feet, drawing his sword and trying to fight the Qin horseman. Unfortunately, before he could stand firmly, a bronze sword slashed through his neck, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Appeal ββγ" The galloping horse finally stopped. The horseman, who had neatly harvested the lives of the enemy's scouts, stopped his horse, and as the horse turned around, he raised his eyes again, and did not feel that it was wrong, so he returned the bronze sword to the sheath, and ordered: "Cut off the head." β
All five horsemen had stopped, and the horses had no stirrups, and the knight who had been ordered jumped from his horse. He took off the skin on the corpse, grabbed the hair and was about to cut off the head, who thought that the corpse was not dead, when he bent down, he suddenly stabbed violently, the knight was caught off guard, a sword pierced the chest and abdomen, and the tip of the sword broke through the armor. After the stabbing was completed, the corpse fell down with a smirk, and died of exhaustion.
"The Jing people are cunning." The knight was horrified. The Qin army is going to cut off the head, and this person must have calculated this point before he faked his death and fell to the ground.
"What is this?" The head still has to be cut, and if it is not cut, there will be no military achievements. As the two knights dismounted and cut off their heads, a bronze cylinder fell from the corpse's bosom. The outside of the cylinder is also inlaid with a piece of crystal clear, which looks very valuable.
"I'll see." The rider wanted to pass this strange object, and after two fumbling times, he pulled it away without a teacher, and when he looked closely, he only felt that his comrades in front of him suddenly became smallerβhe had seen it the other way around, and when he brought his eyes to the eyepiece, he discovered the mystery of Lu Lijing.
"General Yu, the Jingren scouts have been intercepted and killed by our army, and none of them have been missed......" More than 20 miles away on the east bank of Huaishui, Mengwu in uniform was silent when he heard the report. Ten miles ahead is the state of Chu, and it is normal for the Chu army to send scouts, but it is not normal to have no scouts. It's just that there seem to be a lot of scouts, could it be that Xiang Yan, the guard of Chengyang, has already taken precautions?
"General, our army scouts intercepted and killed one of the Jing scouts, and found this thing on his body." The Lu Lijing can magnify and pull things in the distance forward, which has never been seen before. The cavalry commander who seized this thing was greedy for merit, and the cavalry general who got it did not dare to be greedy for ink.
"Oh." Meng Wu didn't pay much attention to this bronze Yuantong, and after seeing it, he had to be moved. "Do all the Jing scouts have this thing?"
"General, only one cavalry commander has been found, and the rest are missing." The rider replied.
"Heavy reward." Lu Lijing was not the decisive weapon of war, and Meng Wu let it go after a few plays. Waiting for the cavalry to withdraw from the account, he continued to look at the map and meditate on how the Chu general Xiang Yan would respond to his own attack - the secret file of the Captain's Mansion, this person is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and it is definitely not his choice to sit back and wait. What will he do? Now that there are so many scouts sent in the direction of Jiyi, don't you want to attack halfway when you cross the Huaishui again?
ββ¦β¦ Then Shen Baoxu cried in the court, saying: Wu is a big wild boar, Wu is a big snake, and if he eats our country, he will invade your country. If the king takes advantage of Wu's undecidedness, he will also share a share of the land of our country; And if the king can pacify the rebellion of Wu, our kingdom will serve the king for generations to come. In addition to the military tent, Meng Tian, who was still one year old and twenty-two years old, told his younger brother Meng Yi about the past of Qin and Chu.
"Jing people are cunning, they have attacked me several times, and saved my Qin country's enemy Zhao several times, how can they serve me from generation to generation?" Meng Yi is very small, and the heart of a young man cannot tolerate deception.
"The Jing people are cunning and untamable, and the reason why they don't send the Nanjun soldiers on this expedition is because they are worried that they will have their homeland in their hearts and rebel in battle." Meng Tian said. "Although the king allowed Shen Baoxu to send troops, General Zipu, who led the army, said to the Jing people: I don't know the way of Wu, please fight first. After the Jing War, Fang joined forces with Yu Ji, and later broke the brother-in-law of King Wu in Yi. Just like our army today, first break through Chengyang, and then fight Yiyi. β
