If it weren't for Que Guanzi's words to his father, he might not be able to be the prince, and he would not be the king of Chu today. Xiong Jing, who saw the crown of the crane with a disciple salute again, had to sigh that time passed quickly. Nine years ago, he was a child who 'don't shed tears for the ancients', but now he is fighting for the Chu people. Que Guanzi sighed that he was really old, and he didn't know how to comfort him immediately.

Fortunately, the sigh of the Que Guanzi was only temporary, and when he saw the Qin soldiers who were surrounded by the two armies of Chu and Zhao, he smiled happily again: "The king and Lao Su joined forces to defeat the Qin people today." After this battle, I am afraid that the queen mother wants to return to Handan. ”

The encircled Qin army was only 30,000 or 40,000 people, the Zhao army was pinched and killed by biting some of them, and the Chu army rushed to divide a part, and the real losses of the Qin army were likely not to exceed 50,000. Xiong Jing said: "There is only Handan left in Zhao State, and Handan is short of grain, how can you go and return?" Although there is millet accumulation in Yingdu, Yingdu is more than 1,000 miles away, and it is difficult to transport it. ”

The earthquake the year before last and the drought last year, Zhao Guoquan relied on the relief of Chu, Qi and Wei to support it to this day. And outside of corn, Zhao has no soldiers to fight, and the Chu army can save Zhao today, but once the ice is frozen, it can't save Zhao. If the Zhao people returned to Handan, they would still not be able to reverse the disadvantage to the Qin people.

"That's true." Crane Guanzi stroked his beard, and he said again: "However, my Zhao people go south, and the Qin people also go south, what is the benefit of this and the Chu State?" If the Zhao people defend Handan, the Qin people will not be able to attack for a long time, and it will be protracted, which will be beneficial to Chu. ”

The meaning of the crane crown is unknown, and it seems that he is unwilling to abandon the capital and go south when he listens to his words. Xiong Jing's gaze turned to Zhuang Wudi, and Zhuang Wudi immediately said: "Yu Taifu, the Great Sima Mansion thinks that the Qi people eat and live in the east and the west, and they are uncertain, and the Zhao people go south, and the Qin State will attack Qi." ”

"Oh......" Crane contemplated.

As soon as Zhuang Wudi mentioned Qi Guo, he pondered for a moment and then nodded again and again. Don't look at the arrogant words of the people of Qi who claim on the news of Da Chu that 'ninety percent of the clothes and shoes of the Chu State are produced in the Qi State, and the people of the Chu State will freeze to death if the two countries are evil, in fact, the most passive one in the Chu and Qi relations is the Qi State. The state of Chu is already at war with the state of Qin, and it is still pressing the state of Qin to fight, and the result of the bad relationship with Chu is that the state of Qi is unprecedentedly isolated, according to the nature of the state of Qin to bully the weak and fear the hard, they may really turn to attack the state of Qi.

"Good, this plan is a great good." Crane Guanzi laughed, he didn't have a good impression of Qi State, and Qi State was often a potential accomplice of Qin State in attacking Zhao State. He had hoped that Chu and Zhao would divide the Qi State, but Xiong Jing took into account the Tian clans in various parts of the Qi State and instead allied with the Qi State, which inevitably made him slightly disappointed. But standing in Xiong Jing's position, there must be corresponding considerations for that position, and he did not speak out against or suggest at that time, but wrote to Xiong Jing to encourage him to act boldly and not to care about failure.

The crane crown is a Zhao person, just like Xun is a Zhao person, the Zhao people always have some utilitarianism in their bones. Of course, this is true, in addition to utilitarianism, Zhao people are still good at using the naked law of power. This is different from the Chu people, who are emotional animals, emotionally relieved and appeased, and practical interests are often ignored;

At the same time, the Chu people are not keen on fighting for power and profit, the society of the Chu people is not the pyramid structure of the Zhao people, whether they are at the top level in a county (tribe) has little impact on the Chu people, as long as he is recognized by a small group, as long as he is not looked down upon by his peers, his life will be very stable. Zhao people are different, Zhao people are likely to be sinners today, but they will be powerful ministers tomorrow - the pyramid society makes people easy to rise and fall, whether it is flattering and rich, or lobbying the king, they all want to take shortcuts and instantly occupy the top of society.

This is actually the difference in the organizational model of the two countries, the organization of Zhao is pyramidal, and the organization of Chu is flat, it does not have a real core, and the lobbyist may be able to become the doorman of the county prince and the feudal monarch, but it is difficult to become the doorman of the king of Chu.

Xiong Jing even believes that this discrepancy may be caused by geography. The north is mainly plains, and it is difficult to exist independent and semi-independent tribes, and if they want to survive, they will inevitably be absorbed into the same organization; The south is rich in water and mountains, and the natural geographical factors cause the division of people from one to another, which is bound to form a flat and fragmented organization.

The Zhao people are the Zhao people, which are different from the Chu people. In his previous letterhead, he faintly mentioned the thick black question that Xiong Jing had thought about: whether to use the anti-Qin to consume dissident forces other than the Chu State, and wait for the fall of the Qin State, and the Chu State will dominate the world.

Xiong Jing no longer thinks about this question, this kind of question actually has no meaning. This kind of meaninglessness is not only whether the Chu State can achieve the final victory, but also because although Xiong Jing is the king of the Chu State, he is more like a pretense. It is not that he decides what the Chu State will do, but that the clans, the honorable scholars, and the people decide what the Chu State will do.

The centuries-old pattern of the world is collapsing in front of him, and his previous hopes are in vain. Nor was he sure how far the situation would eventually collapse. Only when the collapse was completely completed, did Chu standing on top of the ruins know what he was going to do.

When the crane said great goodness, the smile on his face was very dark. Xiong Jing could read the meaning, but did not speak. He could deeply perceive the difference between himself and the Crane Crown, but the Crane Crown couldn't. He is very similar to Linwujun Pang Nuan, who is the real student of Crane Guanzi, although he is also a Chu person.

The teachers and students met on the battlefield, and the women and children who had traveled out of Handan to Zhangshui rushed to the bank of Niushou Water before the end of the battle, and the artillery soldiers who had been struggling on the river beach finally escaped from the muddy land under the tow of hundreds of war horses. Jing Gu, the commander of the artillery regiment, reported to Xiong Jing with deep chagrin that he had missed the whole war and seemed extremely lost.

Xiong Jing is happy. He was glad that he had defeated the Qin army, which was outnumbered by his own without relying on artillery, and shot Wang Jian dead; He was also glad that he had saved ammunition. The seamen didn't fire much, and the foot soldiers didn't fire much, which is a good thing. But soon his joy subsided, and Zhuang went to sprint and report that there was no one shooting arrows when he rushed into battle.

"Nobody?!" It's high spring, and the sun is setting. Together with Que Guanzi, Xiong Jing walked slowly south through the battlefield of the fighting, and rushed to the Chu army shogunate, which had set up camp on the west bank of Niushou Water. After some inquiry, Zhuang Qujian came to report that no one had shot Wang Qian.

"There is no one." When the heavy cavalry charged into formation, the light cavalry had already blocked the Qin cavalry to the east, and there were only 360 heavy cavalry and their own guards cavalry on the scene. Because of the heavy armor, the heavy cavalry used spears and swords to kill the enemy, and never killed the enemy with arrows, and the arrows could only be shot by the knights of the guards, but after several questions, none of the knights admitted that the arrow was shot by himself.

"Since there is no one in our army to shoot arrows, is that arrow an oolong of the Qin army?" Xiong Jing said leisurely. He saw with his own eyes that the feather arrow hit Wang Jian and pierced the leather armor on his body, since it was not shot by the Chu army, it must have been shot by the Qin army.

There are many new terms for "ministers and ......" Xiongjing, and even if Zhuang Quji gets along day and night, he doesn't know what oolong means.

"King Yu, King Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhao greet each other." When Zhuang was confused, Nao Xin, who was staying in the rear, rushed over to make a statement. Only then did Xiong Jing see that the Zhao people's camp tent was connected to the Chu army's camp tent, and the flag floated outside the Chu camp in the sunset. Backed by the colorful king car, Zhao Qian, the king of Zhao with his clothes hanging down, and the Empress Dowager Zhao's lingluo who showed his clothes and deputy clothes were leading the Zhao Guoqun ministers to greet them.

With a military salute, the army marched to win, and the king must be greeted in the suburbs, and Zhao Qian and Lingyuan were greeted in the suburbs for this reason. This battle was the joint efforts of the Chu and Zhao armies to defeat the Qin people, so the two also welcomed Xiongjing in the suburbs to thank the Chu army for their rescue. Although Zhibisi mentioned the Empress Dowager Zhao's spirit robe many times in the intelligence, Xiong Jing still lacked an impression of her, and his eyes were more focused on Zhao Qian.

The thirteen-year-old boy was clothed and his hair hung down, and as soon as he took the position, the building was about to fall, which couldn't help but make Xiong Jing feel a little sympathetic, but thinking that he killed Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Chunping, and after Zhao Liang's death, these people made the situation that could have been supported into the current situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with the Zhao people in the suburbs.

"If Li Mu is here, why is it here." When approaching Zhao Qianling's robe in the suburbs, Xiong Jing muttered.

"The kid has seen the King of Chu." Zhao Qian was the king of Zhao, and he was the first to salute Xiong Jing. Beside him was the Queen Mother's Lingluo with her head bowed, and Lingluo said deeply: "Lingyuan has seen the King of Chu, thank the King of Chu for saving him." ”

"The ministers have seen the King of Chu." The two were followed by the ministers of Zhao State, including Sima Shang who led the army back, Zhao Ying, Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Heng, Pingyang Jun and others.

"The country of the Chu and Zhao brothers, why do you need to be so polite." Xiong Jing's gaze swept over the people in the suburbs, and he returned the salute.

"The king led the army to defeat the Qin people, and he was brave and unstoppable, thinking that my Zhao people can return to Handan tomorrow." The Qin army has been defeated, and everyone has the intention of returning to Handan, and Guo Kai has spoken everyone's hearts.

"Otherwise, the Qin people will only lose 50,000 troops, and the whole army will be annihilated." Xiong Jing didn't know that the person who spoke was Guo Kai. "If you return to Handan, why will the Qin people surround Handan again?"

"There are witch weapons in the king's army, and if you fight again tomorrow, you can annihilate the Qin people." Sima Shang stepped forward and admonished.

"It's difficult. What if the Qin people don't fight me? Xiong Jing also thought of this possibility, but he didn't believe that it would be carried out smoothly. This year the sky is very different, and September is already cold, so the river will inevitably freeze next month. The Chu army and Zhou Ji can stay until the next month before returning to Chu, what if they return to Chu? ”

"This ......," Sima Shang said. War is not a matter of wishful thinking, the two armies of Chu and Zhao want to take advantage of the victory to fight again, is the Qin army willing? With this defeat alone, the Qin army would try to avoid the decisive battle if they had a little brain.

The most likely thing they do is to drag it until the river freezes. If the Great River Freezes the Chu Army and has not withdrawn, it must mobilize more troops into the Zhao Land and use the overwhelming strength advantage to fight a decisive battle with the Chu-Zhao coalition army. When the river was frozen, the Chu army, which was farther away, could not be faster than the Qin army that was close to the side of the Taihang Mountain—at this time, Jingcheng and Fukou to the west of Handan were all under the control of the Qin people;

If the Chu army withdraws before the ice, the situation will become the same as before: hundreds of thousands of Qin troops ravaged the Zhao land, and the Zhao people could only retreat to the city of Handan to defend the city.
