CHAPTER XII

The two armies fought fiercely for a long time, and then went around half of Chen Ying to the north of the city, and the sun was about to set. At this time, the spring breeze comes again, and there is no warmth in the blow, only a slight coldness. Passing through the collapsed north city wall, more and more Chu pawns converged into the Lian Po array, and the number of Wei pawns who fled was also increasing, originally only about five or six Chu mu, but now it has suddenly increased to eight or nine Chu mu, and it is still increasing.

The Chu army was blocked by a large array, and saw the terrible iron cavalry, the Wei pawns in front did not dare to rush, and the Wei pawns in the back squeezed hard, and they were all piled together densely and squeezed together. Half of them had no soldiers, a few had no armor, and some were wounded, and their upper bodies were covered in blood. In a hurry, crying, scolding, everyone has different expressions.

"Will the Wei people descend? Will the Wei people descend or not? Will the Wei people descend or not? Lian Po motioned to the Chu sergeant to shout again. Tens of thousands of people shouted with amazing momentum, coupled with the waving of spears in their hands and the sound of armor, Wei Shu unconsciously frightened back a few steps.

"Wei people don't descend!" Someone loudly agreed, it was those soldiers who were not dead, and they still had dozens of people left, because there were enemies on three sides, and they were arrayed on three sides.

"Kill!" Xiong Jing said angrily. After the heavy cavalry charged, he stopped the rest of the cavalry and did not let them charge again. At this time, the order was given, and the half-heavy horseman, who had long been eager to try, immediately rushed out. Iron hooves ran wildly, and although the last dozens of warriors tried their best to kill a few knights, the power of the armored cavalry was beyond their imagination, and the most important thing was that they only had a shield and no long soldiers.

"Ahh Ah...... "After the half-heavy horse had been plowed, the knight turned his horse's head and plowed again, and made up for the undead soldier.

The battlefield was silent, and some Wei pawns who were crying just now didn't dare to howl anymore, staring at the corpses of the soldiers and the heavy cavalry of the Chu army in a daze. Xiong Jing stepped forward at this time, and the banner and knight behind him followed him; Seeing this, the spearmen in the northern army formation hurriedly rushed over, although Xiong Jing was still fifty or sixty steps away from the Wei soldiers, but Lian Po was still worried that the Wei army would risk death to attack; In the south, Fei Jing and Xiang Chao and others had already re-arrayed, but at this time, seeing Xiong Jing stepping forward, they also rode their horses forward slightly, and the knights were all ready to charge.

The Chu army moved, and the Wei pawn also moved, and in the crowd, only Wei pawn shouted: "King Chu." It was the king of Chu. King of Chu ......"

"Who else?" Walking to the open space in the middle, the horse's hooves stepped on the grass soaked in the blood of the soldiers, and Xiong Jing shouted in the face of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers. There was no response, just a chaotic agitation and countless fearful glances.

"Who else ?!!" Xiong Jing drank again, and he was already screaming, so loud that the mount shook the horse's ears in disobedience, and snorted.

"If you don't give up the army, you will be captured!" Xiong Jing's short sword pointed directly at Wei and directly ordered them to surrender.

'Bang ......' Some people threw away the short Ge in their hands, followed by the shield, and some people threw away the halberd in their hands. Soon, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers dropped their weapons and officially surrendered to the Chu army. At this time, Xiang Yan also rushed over, and in the southeast of Chen Ying, he also captured tens of thousands of Wei soldiers who ran the wrong way.

"Meet the King!" Xiang Yan was exempt from overtaking, and saluted Xiong Jing with the rest of the generals who rushed over.

"Excuse ......" Xiong Jing was about to shout to be exempt, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted loudly: "Meet the king!" ”

"Excuse me!" Xiong Jing had to shout, shouted that he rode his horse and ran to Xiang Yan and asked urgently, "How is Ao Cang?" ”

"Okura?" Xiang Yan was stunned, of course he knew about the surprise attack on Aocang, but this plan had been canceled, and he said solemnly: "Tell the king, Ling Yin thought that if he attacked Aocang, the strength of our army would be greatly damaged, so he ordered the ministers to save the king first." ”

"Huh?!" Xiong Jing was surprised. Just now he captured about fifty or sixty thousand Wei troops, but he was not satisfied, and he still wanted to chase the butts of the Qin and Wei armies. Now it's okay, there is no attack on Aocang, and the Qin and Wei armies are not short of food and grass, maybe they will fight back tomorrow.

"Why is Ling Yin so confused!" Xiong Jing shouted.

"The king, the minister thinks that it is not too late to attack Ao Cang again at this time." Xiang Yan immediately suggested.

"The king must not." The general of Yingdu interjected unexpectedly, "After Princess Qi married into the Qin State, the King of Qin did not promise to withdraw from the army, so Dr. Qu Sui returned to China with Princess Qi on the grounds that Princess Qi did not sue the King of Qin. However, the king of Qin loved Princess Qi very much, chased him to Jiyi, and told the doctor that he had ordered the Qin army to retreat, but Chen Ying had not yet withdrawn due to the obstruction of the Wei Prime Minister Bang Ziji; He also said that he was willing to make an alliance with my Chu State, and he was also willing to give Jiyi to my Chu State, and he only needed the king to marry the Qin woman and abolish the marriage alliance with Qi State. ”

Guan Yu's actions made Xiang Yan a little displeased, and as soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yan said: "Tell the king, the Qin army is the king of Chu this time, it is not Wei Xiangzi Ji who stops Meng Wu, the king of Qin regards my Chu country as strong day by day, so he wants to kill the king to get rid of future troubles." The alliance that King Qin said was not an alliance with the great king, but an alliance with the new king. ”

"The new king?" The more Xiong Jing listened, the more surprised he became, he was still not dead, how could a new king come out.

"Tell the king, Dazai Yang Wenjun......" Deng Sui came up to admonish, but he was interrupted by Nao Xin before he finished speaking. Tell the king that the Qin people rumored that the king had died, and Dazai Yang Wenjun wanted to establish a fierce prince, so he made people forcibly welcome Concubine Li and Prince Fierce from the queen mother's bedroom. A few hours ago, Yin Yihou, the Grand Sima Mansion, had captured Yang Wenjun and his party after seeing the general's flight. Yang Wenjun, Concubine Li and others have been imprisoned and are waiting for the king to return to Ying. ”

"Yang Wenjun?" Yang Wenjun actually ......, Xiong Jing didn't expect Yingdu to be like this. He couldn't help but think of the servant minister, why didn't this damn eunuch kill Concubine Li?

"The king, Yang Wenjun has a deep connection with the Qin people, and he has the help of Yin Xiangyi, the county princess. This time, King Qin, the county and the county did not send the county pawn on the grounds that the county officials were sick. My clan, my clan, my clan......" Jing Gu said loudly, although he was facing the Wei army, many people died in the pawns of the clan. Therefore there was sorrow in his words.

"Jingqing's day mourns." During the period of being trapped in the royal city, the changes outside were simply earth-shaking, and Xiong Jing had to sigh.

"Please go into the city and discuss government affairs." The sun had set, and Youshi had to suggest Xiong Jing enter the city.

"Dare to ask the king how to deal with it?" The 100,000 Chu army surrounded the surrendered Wei soldiers, and only sent some small soldiers to pack up their blades. "Wei died nearly 100,000 people, even if it was still Qin abuse; Keep it. Our army has no food. Xiang Yan's voice was cold.

Killing prisoners is unknown, that is the rhetoric of the Qin queen, the first Qin has never killed the prisoner ominous statement, some people slaughtered the Wu Anjun Bai Qi Qin after the worship of Wucheng Wang Temple, sacrificed in the past dynasties, until Zhao Kuangyin canceled his qualifications. Xiang Yan's logic is very simple, and it is difficult for the Chu State, which relies on the Qi State to receive grain, to support these 100,000 people. Even if they are raised, these Wei pawns are in the Wei State, and they are not familiar with them.

"The officers and nobles above the rank of commander are divided into detainers, and the rest are imprisoned in the royal city, and our army can hold the earth city and hold the four gates." During the Warring States Period, all the people were soldiers, not only Ding men, but also Ding women, Xiong Jing's bottom line was not to kill women and children.

"King, there is not much corn in the army...... Peng Zong's meaning is the same as Xiang Yan, killing the most economical grain.

"Corn is in Aocang!" Xiong Jing replied angrily. "The soldiers lack sparring, these Wei soldiers can be used for the soldiers to practice, how can killing targets kill real people and have the courage? Those who held a long pestle and held a huge armor to practice three formations with the Chu army were repatriated to Wei after ten years of hard labor, and those who did not want to practice with the Chu army returned to Wei after twenty years of hard labor. There is a shortage of workers in the construction of the government, a shortage of workers in the coal mines, and a shortage of peasants in the land, so it is a pity to kill them. ”

The Wei army array was close to the East Lake, and once the royal city was not sealed, Lian Po led people to stop the rout in the north of the city, except for some fast legs, most of the Wei army did not run away. The prisoners of war of the Qin army in the Battle of Qingshui were digging coal and cutting wood, and thousands of them were sent to Yuedi. Xiong Jing prepared to build the city of Hangzhou on the edge of the West Lake to place the spiritual seat of the ancestors, and at the same time become the last fortress of the Chu State: Hangying.

However, it is impossible for this big city to choose the location in history - it is said that the West Lake was originally connected to the sea, but it was later silted up to become a freshwater lake, and the city of Hangzhou was built on the silted place, and the terrain is very low. In addition to Hangying, Chen Ying and Shouying must also be rebuilt, and the city should be built bigger, and it must be connected to the chasm and Huaishui. In order to prevent flooding, it must also be a brick-concrete structure. Xiayi (Wuchang) and Jinling also had to build cities, which were also the focus of strategic defense;

In addition, it is a horse-drawn railway, which requires people to build roads, and people can also be used to pull cars, anyway, it doesn't cost money. No, no! You have to give money, so that you can do it steadily, refer to the wages of the official slaves of the Qin State, eat more, and pay three yuan a day. Ten years later, the Qin army attacked Wei, and these men might be able to rearm themselves to defend the Wei state.

"Respectfully obey the order!" Xiang Yan saw that Xiong Jing had made up his mind, and immediately ordered people to dispose of these prisoners of war according to Xiong Jing's wishes. After that, he entered the city with Xiongjing.

The sky was dark, the whole Chen Ying was like a ghost town, and Xiang Yan smelled a smell of corpses as soon as he entered the city gate. The closer you get to Wangcheng, the more obvious the smell becomes. Fortunately, the place to stay is not Wangcheng, but the big city behind Wangcheng.

Knowing that the Chu army did not attack Aocang, most of the more than 100,000 Chu troops lived in the city, sleeping in the military tents left by the Qin and Wei armies, and eating the corn left by the Qin and Wei armies, at this time Xiong Jing slowly knew what had happened outside in the past month.

Under Xiang Yan's description, the state of Qin did come for himself, and the object of the alliance in the mouth of the king of Qin was the new king, not himself. If the Qin State is not severely attacked and a situation is formed to unite again, even if this situation is false, the Qin State will continue to attack the Chu State.

The state of Qi ceded the north of Xiapi without being moved, the king of Qi was too timid, or the state of Qin was too scary. But Lianqi can't be repeated, it must be continued, and one day King Qi will be bold.

The county magistrate Yin in the country is really against the sky, and there is a bastard like Yang Wenjun. If the purpose of Qin's attack on Chu was for himself, then he must have colluded with Qin very early. The Qin army was in charge of besieging the city, and he was in charge of civil strife, the purpose of which was naturally to make the state of Chu embark on the pro-Qin road again, which was actually what the Empress Dowager Huayang and Changping Jun had always hoped for.

At that time, Chu and Qin Tong were regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains countries, and since the king of Chu Cheng and Qin Mugong, the two countries began to marry, and it has been nearly 400 years. Such a long-term marriage has made the state of Chu always waver and make mistakes in the alliance with Qin and Qi. After King Huai and King Xiang paid enough price for this, some people in China still had illusions about the Qin State, ignoring that the Qin State was no longer the simple and trustworthy Qin State of the past.
