Chen couldn't answer the question, Xiong Jing had already thought of a way to answer it on his behalf. He whispered a few words in the ears of the temple people, called the commander again, and gave him a few more words, and then the two hurriedly said goodbye and came to the front of the Chen Division.

In his shrill voice, the temple man asked, "The king has a saying: The sword is only given to the brave and faithful. Chen and Chen Ao stood in front of the battle and killed Qin soldiers, which can be called bravery, but are they faithful? ”

Since Chen Ji cannot say whether he is faithful or not, it is up to his comrades to prove it. The temple people asked with a sharp voice, and he said twice that no one of Master Chen's apprentices answered. The helpless temple people had no choice but to ask again: "Chen And! What does this person do? ”

The guards finally reacted, and it was obvious whether a person fulfilled his promise, but unfortunately, dozens of people shook their heads together, and Chen did not keep his promise. The temple was relieved, and asked again: "Chen Ao, is this person a promise?" ”

With the previous question, the pawns quickly asked rhetorically. This time it was a nod, and even a bold man shouted: "Dare to sue the nobles, Chen Ao Chongnuo." ”

The temple man bowed his head and asked: "Chen Er, this person loves his family and filial piety to his parents?" ”

No one nodded, it was still the person who shouted just now: "Dare to sue the nobles, Chen and his parents died early." ”

"Chen Ao, this person loves his family and filial piety to his parents?" It's still the same question, the temple people ask again.

Dozens of people nodded together, and the temple people smiled, thinking that they could go back and report to the king. But he didn't take a few steps, and the bold soldier said: "Dare to tell the nobles: Chen has a daughter, who loves her, can be said to love her family?"

The temple man's footsteps stopped because of this, and he turned back and asked, "What is your name?" ”

"Boy Chen Sheng, everything you say is true." A very young apprentice, estimated to be just over seventeen years old.

"King Yu: Chen Ao is a person who has always kept his promise and is filial to his parents, and can be described as faithful;" Standing on the side of Chen and Chen Ao, the temple people saluted and reported, as soon as he mentioned Chen Ao, Chen Ao trembled, and he didn't hear what the temple people were talking about; Chen Ji was furious in his heart, he just saw the temple people asking questions in the same army, and now he knew that he was asking Xingnuo and filial piety.

"Chen and this person, he has never made promises, and his parents died early," the more Chen listened, the more his heart sank, "However, Chen Sheng said that he has a daughter, and he loves him, but I don't know if he loves his family?" ”

"Chen Sheng?!" Hearing this name, Xiong Jing immediately forgot what was in front of him. I wondered if this Chen Sheng was the Chen Sheng who rebelled in Daze Township decades later.

"Great king, how can the gift of the princes and scholars be able to treat the lowly people?" You Shi didn't expect that the temple people asked about this, and he was very unimpressed with this. Expensive is expensive, cheap is cheap, and it can never be compared.

"It is not said that this sword is only for the brave and faithful." Xiong Jing retracted his thoughts and no longer thought about that Chen Sheng. "Chen Ao stood in front of the battle and killed the Qin soldiers, which can be described as bravery, and his people are filial and filial, which can be described as faithful, and this person should be given; Chen and this person also stood in front of the battle, beheaded the Qin pawn, although he did not make a promise, but he loved his daughter, it can be said that he loved his family, and he could barely be said to be faithful, and this person should also be given. ”

"Someone, give me a knife!" Xiong Jing spoke loudly, one was to respond to the right history, and the other was to announce the standard for giving the knife.

"The king..."The knife was sent quickly, and Chen and Chen Ao were still in a daze, not knowing how they were faithful, so they gave the knife.

"Come here." The two knelt far away, for fear that they would offend Xiong Jing by colliding. At this time, when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and walked over.

The snowy blade once again flashed people's eyes, Xiong Jing put the knife into the sheath, and said: "Love his family, filial piety, keep his promises, keep his duties, be loyal to his king, and die for his country, if there is, it can be described as faithful." You do not think you are faithful, so you give you a sword. Remember, faithfulness is honor! ”

The cavalry knife was placed in the hands of the two of them, and seeing that the two did not repeat it like Shen Rong, Xiong Jing asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chen Ao's square face, he was like a dream at this time, or Chen and reacted quickly, but Xiong Jing said that he couldn't remember, so he had to choose to answer: "The king's words, loyalty is honor." ”

Xiong Jing nodded at him, and then looked at Chen Ao who was dreaming: "Chen Ao, what do you say?" ”

"The king......" Chen He bumped into him before he reacted, but this person was clumsy, and he was smirking after being stunned for a long time.

"Standing in the three lines in front of the battle, there are beheaded commoners, if they can love their family, filial piety, and fulfill their promises, they can be given a knife. You tell the general of the county that if there is such a person, you can report your name to the county. Xiong Jing commanded, and then left the left army and marched towards the middle army.

When the Qin people attacked, the losses of the left army were unknown, except for the officers of Chen and Yu counties, the commander of the left army, and the general Xiang Yan and others. What they knew was that the Qin people were repulsed, and the palace armor of the king annihilated hundreds of Qin people under the attention of the two armies. Your side has won the battle, that's everyone's concept. As soon as Xiong Jing arrived in the Chinese army, before he had conquered the people, the soldiers bowed down first. The soldiers worshipped, the whole army worshipped, and even the generals Xiang Yan and others, who were far away, also bowed their heads from afar.

The Chu army looked at the Qin army on the opposite side like an endless wall, and the Qin army a mile and a half away saw that the Chu army array was also a long wall. Now all of a sudden, the wall had collapsed, and they were all worshipping one person.

"General, the last general thinks that he should kill King Jing with a knight." The Chu army knelt down and then got up, as if the Great Wall was rising and falling. Li Xin was amazed and asked for his life, he was sure: If you don't kill King Jing, Jing people will not be angry.

"General, what General Li said is reasonable, he should kill King Jing with a martial knight." Yang Duanhe immediately agreed. When he attacked the formation in the morning, he felt the effect of the Dao Xiongjing. Think about it, the king of a country actually appeared in front of the military formation alone, and it is strange that the soldiers are not crazy.

"There is no urgency in this matter, I have my own decision." Meng Wu was still using the Lu Lijing to observe the enemy formation. He saw that the heavy weapon that could throw fire projectiles had moved back, which showed that the Jing people knew that the heavy weapon was placed too far forward. But they only moved the heavy weapons back, and did not strengthen the depth of the Chinese army, which is the deadliest place. Twenty lines, twenty lines of Great Qin Ruishi broke with one blow.

"General, the Jing people seem to be withdrawing." Behind the banner of the main general of the Chu army, the baggage troops were slowly retreating. Because it's so far away, you can't see it without looking closely.

Meng Wu immediately picked up Lu Lijing and looked at it again, nodded and said, "The Jing people's rear army is indeed retreating. ”

"General, the Jing people retreat, what do our army want?" Feng Zheng, who was impatient, immediately asked for battle, "Why don't you fight with it." ”

"Never!" Meng Wu was not surprised by the retreat of the Chu army, he glanced at Feng Zheng and then at the protector Sikong Ma. explained: "Our army cavalry has surrounded Jiangyi at this time. Xiang Yan received this news, what could she do if she didn't retreat? ”

"Really?" After Feng Zheng asked, he glanced around at everyone, he didn't find the cavalry general Xin Sheng, and said happily: "In this way, the Jingren grain road has been cut off. ”

Even happier than him was Sikong Ma, "When does the general want to fight the Jing people?" ”

"Naturally, after the Jing people ran out of food." Meng Wu looked at him, fully understanding his careful thinking in the quick battle. "However, if the Jing people withdraw too far, our army's grain and straw transportation will also be poor, so the battle will be here for a few days."

"The general can plan, and the army will not interfere." As a protector, Sikong Ma certainly knew the amount of food stored in the army, but the bigger problem was the retreat of the Chu army. The retreat of the Chu army meant that the Qin army had to advance, and if the Qin army advanced, the grain and straw in the camp would need to be sent to the front of the battle. Does Qin Jun have any extra double wheels? No. The decisive battle was within two or three days.

"Jiangyi is surrounded by the cavalry of the Qin army?" In the afternoon, after the Chu army retreated fifteen miles under the eyes of the Qin army, the news of the siege of Jiangyi came that the cavalry had no advantage, and only relied on intermittent flying poles to transmit military information, but this must be within thirty miles, and the visibility was good, and there were no mountains and forests.

"Your Majesty, exactly." Xiang Yan was not surprised that Jiangyi was besieged, this was what should have happened, his surprise was the number of cavalry troops of the Qin army. "It is reported that the Qin cavalry has 30,000 people."

"30,000 ......, how can there be so many?!" Xiong Jing was also dumbfounded, 30,000 people, his little heart couldn't stand it. "Didn't you say that there were less than 10,000 Qin martial knights? Why did 30,000 suddenly pop up? ”

"King, there are less than 10,000 martial knights in the Qin army, but there are no less than 20,000 horseback soldiers." Peng Zong explained. "The Qin people surrounded our Jiangyi with 30,000 cavalry, but in fact, they held Qingshui and did not allow our army to cross the water and retreat south."

"Just don't allow our army to go south?" The map is right in front of him, and Peng Zong's so-called Qinghe is better than Qinghe. There were many pontoon bridges on the river when I came, and now it is estimated that these pontoon bridges have been demolished by the Qin army. Of course, the river is shallow in winter, and foot soldiers can still wade across the river. "The Qin army can't stop us?"

"King, the decisive battle should be two days after tomorrow." Xiang Yan was extremely solemn, "The last general thinks that the king must not inspect the whole army again in the next two days. If the Qin people attack each other with martial knights, once an accident occurs, the whole army will be defeated! ”

"The Qin people hit me with a martial knight?" Xiong Jing smiled, laughing happily. "Just rely on the cavalry of the Qin people who can only shoot crossbows and cannot fight? Don't worry, generals, the spear formation of the palace armor will teach them how to behave. ”

Xiong Jing finished laughing, and said: "I still have to inspect the whole army two days after the dawn, and on the day of the decisive battle, I will swear in front of the battle, and stand in front of the battle." ”

"The king must not!" Xiang Yan was also anxious. Xiong Jing patrolled every day in order to improve the morale of the whole army, but the consequence of this was that once Xiong Jing was killed or wounded, the morale would fall into a place where no disaster would be lost, and the Chu army would be defeated at that time.

'Bang... Knock knock...... 'The low table in front of Xiong Jing's seat was overturned by him, and all the things on it splashed to the ground, he walked quickly to Xiang Yan, looked at Xiang Yan's eyes and said word by word: "If I don't inspect, don't swear, and don't stand in front of the army, can you win?" Tell me, can you win?! ”

Xiong Jing stood, Xiang Yan knelt, their eyes almost level. Looking at each other, thinking of the casualties this morning, Xiang Yan finally lowered his head: "No, the end general is not sure." ”

"If I am not sure, should I be captured by the Qin people and then taken to Xianyang?" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew that he was risking his life by doing so, but what could he do if he was weaker than others? He suddenly remembered his father, who had not yet returned to the mortuary temple, and said proudly: "The king died in the country, and he died and was immortal. What are the Qin people afraid of, and what are they afraid of life and death? ”
