After a night of fighting, the land on the south side of the lake mouth was easily captured by the Chu army, and nearly 10,000 ironclad soldiers were stationed here. The boat on the chasm was like a cloud, and the trebuchet and crossbow on the boat fired a volley, and the Qin army chased far away - the waterway was indeed impassable, but the land route by the lake, which was about a hundred steps wide, could be opened. The squirrel cage crane was erected here, and the corn loaded in sacks was lifted from the boat on the chasm, loaded into a trolley on a railway track of more than 100 paces, and finally transferred to the boat in the East Lake.

The Qin army on the land on the north side of the lake mouth was also driven away by fire bombs, and there were also thousands of huge ironclad soldiers lined up, but as long as they were three hundred steps away from the chasm, the Qin army was safe. They could only watch as bags of grain and shells were brought into the city.

"That's how the Jing people succeeded?" Li Xintian rushed over as soon as it was dawn, and he was excited on the car.

"General, there are fire bombs and crossbows on the Jingren boat, and the place is small and narrow, I will wait for ......" Deputy General Anqi looked helpless. The Chu army, dressed in huge armor and armed with a spear, could not be defeated even by the sharp soldiers of the Qin army. Moreover, the place is too small, and there are only more than 200 people standing in the formation, and 3,000 people can defend the place to the death.

"Drumming! Rush attack. "After more than three months of siege, the two armies combined with nearly 100,000 casualties, how can they let the Chu army in the city breathe? Li Xin angrily attacked Che Shi and gave the order to attack. The drums were sounded in an instant, and not only the Qin army on the north side, but also the Qin army on the south side began to move forward slowly, in a vain attempt to recapture the narrow strip on both sides of the lake mouth and prevent the Chu army from transporting supplies into the city.

"Take the mouth of the lake!" Li Xin waved his sword and shouted, and more than 10,000 Qin troops rushed towards the mouth of the lake, like a brown torrent.

"Ling Yin was stabbed?!" Chen Ying was sleeping, and the fighting on the head of the city was still continuing, but the morale of the soldiers was high, and everyone knew that the waterway was opened and Yingdu was coming. It was Zuo Tu Zhaohuang who entered the city with the supplies, and as soon as he arrived, he informed Xiong Jingnao of the assassination.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Huang Road. "There are also Qin spies in the palace, so that Yin is not guarded and makes it succeed. Fortunately, Ling Yin was wearing leather armor......"

"Where's the chain mail?" Xiong Jing's eyebrows were twisted, and after the chain mail jade mansion was braided, he was wearing it, and he also asked all the important ministers to wear it.

"This ......" Zhao Huang was wearing chain mail at this time, and he didn't know why Nao Qian didn't wear chain mail.

"Alright. How is Nao Qing's injury? Xiong Jing didn't pursue it anymore, only asked about Nao's cunning injury.

"There is no fear for my life for the time being." Zhao Huang's eyes blinked, he took out the cunning letterhead from his arms, and said, "Please take a look at the king." ”

"Before he recovers, you will have the position of temporarily acting as Ling Yin." Xiong Jing hastily read the letterhead, and the main thing in the letter was that he was a temporary substitute, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.

"Respectfully obey the order!" The stone in Zhao Huang's heart finally landed, and he came to see Xiong Jing to make Yin act as his substitute.

"Remember! A surprise attack on Ao Cang is imperative. Xiong Jing told Zhao Huang, "Don't worry about Chen Ying's gains and losses. ”

"The king is in danger!" Zhao Huang nodded and looked at Xiong Jing. I haven't seen him for a few months, and Xiong Jing's gaze has a different kind of indifference, as if everyone is a dead thing, without emotion. "The Queen Mother also often recites the king's ......"

"The Queen Mother?" Xiong Jing's frozen eyes finally had a trace of emotion, he had long forgotten about his mother's marriage to Qin. "How is the queen mother? Is it good? ”

"The Queen Mother is well! Princess Xuan is well! "Zhao Huang is anxious to tell you." Only the Queen Mother often misses the king. The minister asked the king to return to Yingdu first, and then return to Chen Yingcheng when he returned to supply the next time......"

"No way!" Xiong Jing shook his head resolutely. "After this supply, the Qin army must be on guard. Zhou Ji will come again, it will be the time when our Chu army makes a surprise attack on Ao Cang and pursues the Qin and Wei routs. You tell the queen mother that I am here with tens of thousands of generals like brothers and sisters, living and dying together, so I can't please be filial piety in front of my knees. ”

Xiong Jing really misses her mother. He complained about the matter in his heart, but now he is a little grateful. Imagine if Concubine Zhao didn't love herself, how could she be good at asserting and doing such a thankless thing. In this world, not because of the monarch and ministers, but because of feelings, the only one who can do anything for him is his mother.

"The king's words, the minister will inform the queen mother as soon as he returns to Yingdu." Zhao Huang firmly remembered.

"How is Qin Jun? How is Xiang Yan? Putting away that thought, Xiong Jing asked about other battlefields.

"Chengyang is still in my hands, Pingyu was pulled out by the Qin army, and the Qin army turned east to attack Xiangcheng after pulling out Pingyu, and did not go south to Fanyang County." Zhao Huang briefly talked about the situation in the other two battlefields. "The general is sitting in the middle of the city, but because the Qin army is besieging the city, there are few sieges, and he is very idle."

"In this way, these two Qin armies are contained?" Xiong Jing instantly came up with such a feeling.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Huang said of a judgment of the Great Sima Mansion: "The Qin army is fighting this battle, or only for the king." ”

"For me?" Xiong Jing laughed, "How could Qin Jun be for me?" If it's for me, why don't you stab me? ”

"I don't know this ......." Naturally, Zhao Huang didn't know how to explain this problem.

"The last time the Qin army attacked me, they naturally knew that Chengyang was not as good as Chen Ying. With Chen Ying in hand, you can go straight down to Yingdu along the Yingshui, the gap is connected to the Yellow River, and the transportation of grain and weapons is convenient. Although Chengyang is also a waterway, Huaishang does not connect to Nanyang County, and it is too difficult to transport. Xiong Jing said his judgment, he still believed that the Qin army was targeting Chen Ying in order to establish a bridgehead for the war against Chu. That's why the Wei people are hateful! If they don't use the Tao to help Qin attack me, how can the Qin army attack Chen? ”

"Tell the king, Wei attacking me is really a plan to remove trouble. After this battle, when the Wei State was attacked. "Zhao Huang also thinks that the Wei people are hateful.

"You go back and tell Li Er, don't think about cutting Wei, think about the big beam." Xiong Jing spoke his mind.

"Girder?" Zhao Huang is not familiar with military affairs and does not understand its meaning. "The king is going to attack the beams?"

"Yes, yes. I have a boat master, why can't I take the girder down? Xiong Jing asked rhetorically, "The Great Beam is the place where all the rivers meet, and taking the Great Liang is the only way to really defend Huaishang, otherwise the Qin army can still attack me if it is a false Dao Great Liang." ”

The importance of the girder is undeniable, but capturing it is by no means an easy task. Daliang is the capital of Wei, wouldn't pulling out Daliang destroy Wei? If the Wei State is destroyed, wouldn't it be Qin and Chu to the north? The more he thought about Zhao Huang, the more frightened he felt, and when he was about to ask, Xiong Jing said again: "What happened to Qi and Zhao?" ”

"The king of Qi is reluctant to send troops." Zhao Huang said, "But Jimo Doctor Tian He is willing to send troops? ”

"Doctor Jimo?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. "Since King Qi is unwilling, how can Dr. Jimo send troops?"

"Qi has five capital systems, and Jimo is one of them. Doctor Jimo can send 100,000 troops, but I need to cede Jucheng. Zhao Huang said.

"100,000 soldiers want to change Jucheng?" Jucheng turned out to be the capital of Qi State, and it was not surprising that the Qi people wanted to take Jucheng back.

"The king thinks he can cut Jucheng?" Zhao Huang asked, and Yingdu wanted to reject Qi people after discussing it.

"Jucheng is too partial, if it is just an enclave of Qi State, it can naturally be cut." Xiong Jing spoke his own judgment. "In the future, the national policy of my Chu State should be to reject Qin, unite Qi, help Zhao, and swallow Wei."

"Reject Qin, Lianqi, help Zhao, and swallow Wei?" Zhao Huang repeated Xiong Jing's words.

"Yes!" Xiong Jing nodded. "The State of Wei is a familiar land, and since he has already served Qin, it is no longer a barrier to the north of my Chu State. In this case, only as soon as there is emptiness, Wei should be defeated. The most important thing for Wei was to win the Great Liang, and the Great Liang was the pivotal point of Huaishang, followed by the Great Song County to the east of the Great Liang. Taking the Great Song County borders the eastern county of the Qin State, why can't my Chu State divide the eastern county of the Qin State together with the Zhao State and the Qi State?

The State of Qi must be willing, if the State of Qin does not have Dongjun, then the Qin army cannot attack the State of Qi. Zhao is estimated to be willing, if Qin does not have Dongjun, Chu and Zhao can border, and Handan's southern flank will be safe. If Hanoi County can still be captured, then the Qin army can only cross the Taihang Mountain from Shangdang County. ”

The Qin army is not invincible, the key is whether the countries can really join forces. Capture Daliang and annex the Great Song County of Wei, and then capture the Eastern County and Hanoi County of Qin with Qi and Zhao. This is an offensive effort made by Xiong Jing, and if this goal is really achieved, then the world will form a situation in which the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Qi will resist Qin. It is not that Wei will necessarily perish, but that Wei will become another Korea, and Gou will settle down to the west of Daliang.

Shang Ru's plan failed, and the state of Chu had nothing to lose. This is an attack, and if the attack fails, it will also deter the King of Wei. As long as he is not stupid, he will understand that if Wei is in the tug-of-war between Qin and Chu, the final result will be a rapid demise.

"King, Zhao Guo ......" Xiong Jing just asked how Qi and Zhao were doing, and Zhao Huang only said Qi Guo. King Zhao seems to want to kill Yan? ”

"Cutting Yan?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. Now that the Qin army is attacking Chu, he does not rest and recuperate, and actually runs to cut down Yan.

"Yes, yes. Mu Ling sent people back that the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State saw that the Qin people were attacking me, and the war was stalemate for a while, so they wanted to kill Yan. This was the message from two months ago, and today, I am afraid that Zhao Guo has sent troops from Handan. Zhao Huang said.

"How is the Qin State?" Zhao Guo cut Yan, if it is a small war, Qin State can still tolerate it, if it is Yan Yan, it will never be allowed.

"The Qin State is unknown." Zhao Huang Road. "Please tell the king that the state of Zhao is no different from the state of Qin. Qin attacked me, Zhao will never save me, Qin will attack Zhao, but my country wants to save Zhao. If Wei does not exist, if Qin destroys me, Zhao would rather cut Yan and Qi than save me......"

"Saving Zhao is just to give Qin Guo one more opponent." Xiong Jing understood what Zhao Huang meant, and most of the ministers did not have a good impression of Zhao Guo. "Besides, using the Wei State as a barrier is a sign of timidity, why can't my Chu State face the enemy head-on? Do you have to stand behind others and deceive yourself?

The annexation of Wei by our Chu State was to enhance the national strength, and the capture of Daliang was to seize the key points. Rather than Wei being annexed by Qin, it is better to be annexed by my Chu state. Hiding behind the barrier of the Wei State, which can be broken with a single stab, it is better to face the Qin State openly. Don't worry that the Qin State will attack the Chu State from now on, with the Qin State bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if he can't beat the lowly nature of the counter-plot, he will only attack Zhao in the end, because he can't get any benefit from us. ”
