"There are birds in the south mountain (yo), and there are Zhang Luo in the north mountain.

Birds fly high (yo), Luo Dang helpless.

Birds and magpies fly (yo), not happy phoenix ......"

The last ray of light was about to be extinguished, and the heavens and the earth suddenly became cold, and only at this time, the women who had returned home from the fields after harvesting the corn had time to take advantage of the glimmer of light between the heavens and the earth to make a yarn beside the water.

There are birds in the south mountain, and Zhang Luo in the north mountain. This is Song Song, the legend is that the wife of the king of the Song Kingdom took people, and the husband and wife did not obey, and both were martyred. Although Zheng Wei's song is popular in the world, this song song is sincere, and the woman sings it with a poignant feeling. The king of the Song Dynasty took people's wives, but the war took people's husbands, with the order of the county Yin, all the men in Luzhong from five feet to sixty went out to fight, this is the most stringent levy order in the past three years, when they parted, everyone pounded their clothes, everyone cried, so I really don't know when I can go home.

"Qin ...... Qin people! The sky was getting darker and darker, and the woman working by the water suddenly someone screamed and shouted out to the Qin people.

"Ahh The Qin people are comparable to tigers and wolves, they cut off the heads of men, and also cut off the heads of women. Like frightened birds, they picked up their clothes and fled home.

"I'm a Chu person......" Xiang Chao, who drank a stomach of river water, sighed, and only felt wronged in his heart.

In the afternoon, they encountered the Qin army, and after a few battles, they all jumped into Rushui on horseback. Rushui is wide, thirty people dispersed immediately, Xiang Chao can't swim, if he is not rescued by Cheng Kui, he may be buried in the belly of the fish. The two were washed here by the river, and when they heard the singing of the Huansha girl, they came to find their voices, not wanting to be too dark to see their faces clearly, and they were regarded as Qin people.

"How should this be?" Cheng Kui is said to have been born on a boat, and at the right time, storms and thunderstorms, like a beast entering the water, so it is called 'Kui', and swimming seems to be born with it. His reaction to the Huansha girl was also very helpless, and he knew that he wouldn't be so polite and salute, just arrest people directly.

"This should be the border of Xincai County?" Xiang Chao vomited a few more mouthfuls of river water, and then touched his head, when the water was not topped, he was no longer as calm as immediately, and was finally knocked out by Cheng Kui.

"Yes." Cheng Kui had always been sober, and at that time he had a person in his arms, and the two of them still had cavalry knives on them, and they were not able to swim across the other bank at all, but fortunately, they didn't rush far. "The general can look at it from the mirror and see where there are lights."

"Don't call me general, call me Ziyong." Xiang Chao said loudly, Yong is the word he gave himself. He didn't have to touch the mirror to see the light, or rather, it wasn't a light, it was a torch.

"The king is in the Mulberry Tunnel?!" Yin Panyou of Xincai County looked at the embarrassed Xiang Chao, Cheng Kui and others in disbelief. It's just that there are more and more knights who have been 'captured' by the county officials, and each of these people says so.

"Yes, yes. Please ask the county Yin to speed up the army to rescue him. Xiang Chao has already revealed his identity, although he led away the Qin people, but the other side of the Rushui is full of Qin horses, maybe the king will be discovered.

"If the king is in the Mulberry Tunnel, he will lead the army to rescue him, however," Pan You patted his thigh vigorously: "My new Cai has no boat!" Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, he said: "The day before yesterday, the general gathered troops in Xie Yi, and all the boats in the county were recruited......

"Dare to ask the county magistrate, how is the battle in Xie Yi?" Xiang Chao couldn't help but ask.

"Yesterday was a battle, and I don't know if I won or lost." Xin Cai was not on the Huaishui line, and he did not know the situation of the Battle of Jiyi. Xin Cai's mission was to gather forces to protect the Chu people who had migrated to the eastern shore of Rushui. The alliance turned into war very suddenly, and the people had to retreat to the city near Rushui for refuge. Only after the battle could the main force be gathered and the enemy army in the direction of Rushui could be decisively defeated.

"No news?" Xiang Chao was a little disappointed. The alliance was an effort, but as a result, the Qin people had no intention of meeting the alliance, so they could only rely on war. If the battle of Jiyi is lost, then ......

Xiang Chaoxin drifted to Jiyi, which was more than two hundred miles away, but the decisive battle between the two armies of Chu and Qin was not in Jiyi, but between two Huaishui. After the king crossed the Huaishui, he used the Chu army's usual plagiarism to plunge directly into the wooden bridge on the Huaishui River more than 60 miles away. They stood at the horn where Xiongjing was surrounded the day before yesterday, sealing the retreat of the Qin army across the river.

After Li Xin repelled his retinue, he led 15,000 guards to rescue him, but 15,000 could not defeat 30,000, and finally had to retreat to Jiyi. To the east of Huaishui, the Chu army, which had all crossed the first Huaishui, compressed more than 100,000 Qin troops in the lower left corner of the trapezoidal shape with Tongbai Mountain as the bottom and Huaishui as the side. 190,000 people surrounded and killed 130,000 people, the trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention people, the most important thing is that the Qin army has not run out of food, and there is no shortage of water around the Huaishui, the two sides are holding each other like this, and they are all red-eyed.

"Will the Qin people descend?! Qin people will not descend?! Do the Qin people descend or not? When the sun set, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers shouted loudly, and the frightened birds flew up again, and the sound was reflected by the obstruction of Dafu Mountain, and the entire Jiyi basin sounded.......

The besieged Qin army was silent, and the Chu army could only see the part of the Qin army that was exposed outside, and more Qin troops were cowering under the Dafu Mountain, where it was dim, and there was no sound or movement.

"Kill ——!" It was the county pawn who had just learned the spear formation to ask if the Qin people would surrender, and after asking, they began to sprint with spears in formation. It's not killing, it's just practice, practicing how to kill, and this practice continues from yesterday to today.

"General, the Qin people will not surrender." The military Sima Peng Zong, who was standing beside Xiang Yan, was not without worries, the Chu army had to return to Shihuai after the end of this battle, and he couldn't delay too much time here.

"The leading general Zhao Shan is dead, why don't the Qin people surrender?" Xiang Yan asked a very simple question. The Chu army has won three battles in a row, but this time it is a war of annihilation, Xiang Yan wants to capture these people, and the Chu State, which has been fighting for many years, needs manpower.

"Most of the commanders of the Qin army were people during the Changping War, and they were afraid of following in the footsteps of the Zhao army." Peng Zong said helplessly. The backbone of the Qin army is those soldiers in the Battle of Changping 24 years ago, although the old soldiers have been withering, but the 25-year-old soldiers are only 49 years old this year, and the 15-year-old soldiers are only 39 years old this year. If these people can live to have a knighthood until now, maybe they will be the head of the tun and the lord of five hundred. It is simply impossible to get them to surrender. Especially the current scene is very similar to the Battle of Changping, which is easier to evoke their memories.

"General, I thought I should let go of my life." Li Ji of the Operations Division also came to Xie Yi, he didn't expect Wang Pawn to have such a fast speed, and he actually blocked the Qin army between the two Huai Shui.

"No." Peng Zong objected: "Li Xin is in Jiyi, and Jiyi also has grain and straw, and the morale of the two armies should be greatly boosted." And Jiyi is surrounded by mountains, and it is not without trails. ”

"The military commander is mistaken." Li felt that Peng Zong's idea of total annihilation was too short-sighted. "The Jiyi Qin army is only the weakest of the three Qin armies, and our army must fight quickly. The siege of the master must be que, how much is the Qin pawn who escaped from the pass? What about the remaining tens of thousands of defeated troops and Li Xin's convergence? Our army left 100,000 people in the same direction, how much can the Qin army retreat to the Qin realm? ”

"When will Xianyang know the defeat of the Qin army?" There was some truth in what the two of them said, and Xiang Yan had to ask the time. Time is the most critical, the Qin army of Shangcai and Daliang should attack after Xianyang is informed of the results of the alliance, Jiyi to Xianyang more than 1,000 li, and the king ordered to send from Xianyang to Shangcai and Daliang, which is more than 1,000 li.

Next, the battles of Aocang and Cuihan were launched, and it took at least three days for the normal marching Dayi warships to reach the frontline Xiangcheng, and another three days were needed for the soldiers to fully rest, so it was six days. Four days have passed since the meeting, and the decisive battle is the next day. It's not that it is necessary to start the later battle before the Qin army attacks the Chu realm, but it can be earlier.

"Zhibisi once said that the Qin army's stagecoach can't do it at night, and it only travels 300 miles a day." Li said.

"If it's at night, how many miles can it be?" Xiang Yan asked again.

"Or five hundred miles." Li said. "If this is the case, yesterday the King of Qin should inform the alliance of the defeat, so that the Qin army violated my king's order is already on the way at this time, our army must not delay here for too long, it is best to order the Zhou division to return to Shixiang City tomorrow."

"You're going back to the teacher tomorrow?" Xiang Yan was also surprised, he thought he had at least two days left.

"Yes, yes." Li said. "If the Qin army can capture Aocang before committing the border, the Qin army may not dare to attack me, and Wei Han will be even more centrifuged."

"The alliance will not be successful, and the King of Qin does not know that our army dares to attack the Qin army first." Peng Zongdao. "When the news reached Xianyang, the King of Qin couldn't agree on the policy of attacking Chu on the same day, so he had to delay it for a day or two and wait for the news of Jiyi to arrive again before issuing the king's order."

Peng Zong didn't know how the Qin State was arguing, so he could only deal with it with common sense, and the attack of an army of 800,000 should always be cautious. It's a pity that if it is another country, this is naturally right, but this is not the case with Qin.

The news of the failure of the Jiyi Huimeng was suppressed by Changping Jun Xiong Qi for a day, and it was sent to Xianyang early the next morning, and at dusk today, after running and killing a few stagecoaches, it finally reached Xianyang Qutai Palace. Relying on the method of water burning, the ulcer on Zhao Zheng's hip gradually healed, and his face became iron blue after reading the news from Jiyi - under the net of heaven and earth, King Jing actually escaped from the water and ran away.

"What kind of iron horse is Jing Ren's Iron Horse?!" Looking at the national lieutenant Huan Qi who arrived in a hurry, Zhao Zheng said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The King," Huan Qi didn't know why. "This is the domain of my Qin country."

"Domain riding? My Qin country's domain rides? Zhao Zheng was a little unconvinced, and Li Xin described the iron cavalry of the Jing people as almost invincible.

"Yes, yes." Huan Qi said: "In the past, Mu Gong dominated Xirong, there was no road in the grassland, and it was difficult to drive the car, so he practiced riding, and there were 3,000 rider......s."

"And now? Where are these three thousand horses? Zhao Zheng asked urgently.

Huan Qi didn't answer at first, and when Zhao Zheng asked again, he said: "The minister has already written that it is difficult to practice riding, and the children of non-clan scholars cannot be ridden, so all of them will be abolished when the law is changed." "Changing the law is politically correct in the Qin State, Huan Qi added after speaking: "It is not because of the change of the law, although there are domains after Mu Gong, there are fewer and fewer horses, and there are only hundreds later." ”

"No one knows." Zhao Zheng had regained his composure, and he asked again: "If you practice riding again, when can you fight?" ”
