Prior to this, there had been rumors in Chu City that the Cangguo army was about to attack Chu City.

Although it caused some people to be nervous, it did not reach the point of panic.

In particular, the family gate valve and the aristocracy did not have much sense of urgency.

Because, in everyone's impression, the state of Chu is strong enough to deal with the siege of several countries, and the vast territory is full of large and small checkpoints, with a very large number of government soldiers, even if it is not good, the state of Chu can at least organize a big battle.

In the past, it was not uncommon for Chu to fight with Wu, and Chu also lost battles, but in the end, Chu was able to survive every time and defeat the enemy, and no army had ever been able to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Chu.

Even if it comes to the worst step, this is the imperial capital of Chu after all, at least there will be an army of King Qin, right?

Therefore, Chu City has always been a very safe place in the hearts of the nobles of the Chu State.

Since last year, the nobles from all over the Chu State have transferred their wealth to other countries, but no matter what, the foundation is in Chu City, and some small families do not have the ability to transfer wealth to foreign countries, so they transfer their family wealth to Chu City, which is equivalent to coexisting and dying with the royal family.

However, today's army besieged the city and gave them a hard slap in the face.

Why?

In the entire Chu City, whether it was the royal family or the nobles, they did not receive any wind and grass from the Cang army coming to besiege the city in advance.

No preparation at all!

I didn't even have time to escape!

This is the place that annoys many nobles in the city the most, Chu Cheng can't be saved, it's a big deal to take the people in the family and evacuate before the war starts, away from this place of right and wrong.

However, there was no wind at all, which was very unexpected, and the main members of the entire family were besieged in the city.

What about the army of King Qin?

What about the Praetorian Guard?

Even if it is true as rumored, the state of Chu has been cut off by the army of the state of Cang, and the army of King Qin cannot be gathered.

However, aren't there still tens of thousands of Qinwang troops and hundreds of thousands of Praetorian Guards outside the city?

Why hasn't there been any movement?

What the hell!

Could it be that the Praetorian Guard and the Qinwang Army, those more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, were solved by the Cangguo army without a sound?

Ridiculous!

No way!

Of course, these things that are very incredible and abnormal in the eyes of the people of Chu are very normal in the eyes of Cangjun.

This cannot be blamed on the slow reaction of the army of the Chu State, but the speed of the troop carriers is too fast.

When the Praetorian Guards stationed outside the city received the news, it was already the time when the fleet arrived.

In fact, when the fleet of the Cang army started, and when the army set off, the spies of the Chu State had already stepped up and delivered the news to Chu City.

However, Tangliang City was more than a hundred miles away from Chu City, and the speed of troop carriers was faster than that of horses!

In addition, those spies were halfway through, and it took a lot of time to avoid the spies arranged by the Cang army, so they were left behind by the fleet after coming and going.

Fantastic!

Chu never dreamed that he had made a huge determination and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, even if the people's grievances were boiling, and he did not hesitate to dig a grand canal, but he had not seen the benefits of benefiting the country and the people, and it had become a poison to destroy himself!

In the palace of Chu State, the princes and nobles gathered, all of them were depressed and panicked.

Xiong Wu couldn't sit on the dragon chair either, pacing back and forth on His Majesty Dan, panicking.

The eight princes were also restless, and they all had dark faces and did not speak.

Who would have thought that what the envoy of Cangguo named Chu Qiong said a few days ago would come true so quickly.

What happened to the State of Chu?

How did the situation become so bad overnight that it was on the verge of annihilation?

What about the powerful Chu State in the past?

Or is the strength of the past just an illusion?

The heads of the nobles of the family did not speak one after another.

Since the beginning of this year, Jia Yi, the old prime minister who has been in poor health, sat on a chair, panting.

Cang's soldiers are coming to the city, seeing that the number of people has been increasing continuously, not to mention hundreds of thousands, how can Chu City be defended?

There is no hope for the army of King Qin in various places, and the fighting power has long been deployed to the frontier, and the rest of the scattered armies cannot be gathered in the case of a group of dragons without a leader.

The imperial capital of Chu is already exhausted.

Although there are nearly 200,000 troops inside and outside the city of Chu, it is difficult to achieve the combination of the inside and outside of the city, especially the defenders in the city are only more than 50,000, and the difference in strength is too great, and there is no chance of winning at all.

"Your Majesty, isn't there anything you can do?" King Huai stroked his beard and sighed.

"I ...... All the methods that can be used have been used, if you can deal with it well in the frontier, but the Cangjun army has penetrated deep into the hinterland and mastered the north-south hub, as early as a month ago, there was no news from the western border, and the edict of King Qin could not be issued......"

The more Xiong Wu said, the more angry he became.

This emperor has been in office for a few months, and he hasn't had a comfortable day, which is simply too wretched.

Now, Chu City is under siege, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces can't think of a way to deal with it!

The state of Chu has only one way to die.

"Your Majesty, it's better to ...... Surrender ......"

Suddenly, a small sound, like a thunderclap on the ground, drifted through the hall.

Quiet, quiet.

Dead silence.

The atmosphere is terrifying!

Surrender!

These two words can be said to speak the hearts of most people.

However, at such a critical moment, the emperor did not say that he would surrender, who would dare to mention these two words?

Therefore, even if there were many high-ranking officials and heads of many big families present, they were all silent, and no one dared to say surrender.

Suddenly, someone said these two words, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Surrender means a chance to live.

The state of Chu has fallen to this point, there is no other possibility, and surrender is the best way for Mingzhe to protect himself.

Xiong Wu's eyes moved, and he saw a young man sitting in the middle.

U-oh!

This is his imperial brother and one of the eight kings, a few days ago in the main hall, in the face of Chu Qiong's humiliation, he reacted the most fiercely, and also asked the emperor to drag Chu Qiong out and behead him.

Unexpectedly, such a person who was very fiercely resistant to surrender would be the first to propose surrender after tasting the imminent taste of catastrophe.

It was a surprise.

Xiong Wu sneered in his heart: "It seems that the heart of surrender before was not because I was cowardly, but because I knew the current affairs, how good can these princes and ministers be?" ”

The pressure in his heart was slightly reduced, Xiong Wu's heart felt a little better, and when surrender became shameless, his heart was not bound.

"In that case, I will send someone to communicate, and try to protect the interests of my Great Chu Sect Temple and you." Xiong Wu said slowly.
