Chapter 421: The Chu Army Enters Ying
The battle of Yingdu was finally lost to Wu in the southern city, and the northern city was lost to Daqin, and it was announced that it was broken.
Following the state of Wu and the state of Qin, the state of Chu in the east of the city of Yingdu, in the raging fire, is finally extinguished, I have to say, the fire in the east of the city of Yingdu, but also crushed the morale of the Chu army, damage countless not to mention, especially the people of Jing Chu believe in the fire god Zhurong witchcraft, have a very special belief in fire, therefore, seeing the fire in the east of the city of Yingdu, it is actually impossible to extinguish like an ordinary firewood fire, but also make the Chu people have a deep fear of it.
Even the King of Chu had never seen such a fierce fire, just like an unquenchable flame from the Nine Heavens, and the most terrifying thing was that this unquenchable flame could be sent and received freely by the Jing people, didn't this mean that the Jing people had this extremely terrifying mysterious power.
"Could it be that Zhu Rong Tiangong is really the reincarnation of Zhu Rong True God?"
In the end, the King of Chu also fell into this kind of doubt, he originally thought that Fei Wuji could give him a comfort, but the mysterious and unpredictable methods of the Jing people were too weird, so that Fei Wuji, who believed in the witch god culture of the land of Jing Chu, also had a deep fear of this, and faced the King of Chu, he did not speculate about his thoughts for the first time, but replied directly: "Your Majesty, the fire of this Yingdu is too weird, how can any fire be irrigated by water and cannot be extinguished, it must be the witchcraft of the Jing people!" ”
"Hex?" The King of Chu was also frightened by Fei Wuji's inference, and he was also frightened at the moment, and said: "In the past, the old Chu was only good at witchcraft in Yingdu, Shou Yinggu thought that this was a crooked and evil way, so he forbade it, who could have expected the current situation, it was a crime of disrespect!" ”
The King of Chu, who has always been determined to the world, faced the demon fire that arose out of nowhere in Yingdu, and at this moment, he actually confessed his guilt directly, which shows the emptiness in the heart of the King of Chu!
When the king of Chu was panicked, a letter of order was sent to the king of Chu: "Report! The king, the Wu army and the Qin army have already broken through the Yingdu, and the old Chu palace has fallen into the hands of the garrison of the Wu State! ”
"How dare the Wu people!" The king of Chu slapped the table angrily, looked at the pawn who gave the order, and shouted angrily.
It seems that it is because of the "heroic performance" of the Wu people at this moment that has brought some anger, and the king of Chu is also a little less jealous of the unquenchable flame that is almost like heaven's curse.
The King of Chu is like this, so is Fei Wuji, and now Fei Wuji said to the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, now the old Chu Palace has fallen into the hands of the Wu army, and the accumulation in the old Chu Palace is the heritage of the Chu State for hundreds of years, and it must not be occupied by the Wu people, otherwise it will be the future of the Great Chu!" ”
The King of Chu also realized this, but then the King of Chu reacted: "Why don't the Jing people use the fire of Heavenly Punishment on Wu and Qin!" ”
Fei Wuji was worried about the countless wealth accumulated in the palace of Yingdu, but he ignored this, but now is by no means the time to be entangled here, and he also said perfunctorily to the King of Chu at the moment: "Since the Jing people have made such a big move, it must be a great injury to their vitality, and the two armies of Wu and Qin have taken advantage of the situation to enter, so this is the ......."
"Humph!" The King of Chu said angrily again: "Wu Qin took advantage of the imminent death battle of Great Chu, and actually took advantage of the fire to rob, how can Lone endure it!" ”
Fei Wuji had already reacted at this time, the first battle of Yingdu, whether it was Shangzhu Guojingshe who led the troops to fight, or Manchengran who ensured logistics, and other civilian officials, they were all held accountable by the King of Chu, after all, the first battle of Yingdu was not only killed by nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, but even those Chu army soldiers who fled in a panic and burned themselves also burned a lot of Chu army camps.
There were even Chu soldiers covered in flames who disturbed the King of Chu himself.
At this moment, the only person who can persuade the king of Chu is Fei Wuji, although he does not have the foresight, but Fei Wuji still knows the most basic reality, so Fei Wuji also advised the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, there are really not a few injuries to the army of Great Chu in the first battle of Yingdu, on the other hand, Wu and Qin are recuperating, at this moment, it is really not a suitable opportunity to meet Wu and Qin in arms!" ”
What Fei Wuji said was the most superficial truth, how could the King of Chu not figure it out when he calmed down, he looked at Fei Wuji, kept tapping his index finger on the table, and finally said: "What is the best way for Wuji to deal with it?" ”
Fei Wuji has no real talent and real learning, and the current King of Chu is also because of Fei Wuji's recent performance, and he has a faint meaning of replacing Fei Wuji with Man Chengran after returning to Yingdu, so the King of Chu looked at Fei Wuji unexpectedly and asked.
Fei Wuji was so anxious that he really couldn't figure out any good plan, which made Fei Wuji also decide to return to Shouying, he must have raised more useful doormen, but the question of the King of Chu was an immediate problem at the moment, Fei Wuji had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I'm afraid that the fire of Yingdu can't be extinguished for the time being, so it's better for the king to send soldiers and horses to the water gate in the northeast of Yingdu to enter the old Chu Palace, so as not to be wreaked havoc on the old Chu Palace by the Wu people and the Qin people!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" The King of Chu hurriedly nodded and said, the Yingdu Water Gate that Fei Wuji said was the water of the Yingdu River, which was used to protect the city, and a water gate was cast in the northeast of Yingdu.
At the moment, the king of Chu hurriedly recruited his cronies and generals Naoya, although the state of Chu did not shake the famous generals of the Central Plains, but it is also regarded as a large number of generals, it is precisely because of this that the military power of the state of Chu is also divided into factions, including Shangzhu Guojingshe, there are also two other gates of Sanlu, and the feudal lords of other places also have military power, and there are not many generals who are close to the king of Chu, but this general Naoya is a real cronie of the king of Chu.
It is also strange to say that Nao Ya is not a first-class general in the Chu State, but whether it is the King of Chu, or Fei Wuji and Man Chengran, who have a fight in the court, or even the Shangzhu State Jingshe, who has the military power, they all appreciate Nao Ya very much, just take the casualties of the Battle of Yingdu, Nao Ya led the front siege troops, and the casualties are also heavy, but under Fei Wuji's persuasion, Nao Ya is also one of the very few generals who have not been seriously dealt with.
Therefore, the king of Chu sent the general Naoya, led 30,000 troops, and entered the Yingdu from the northeast water gate of Yingdu, which was already the third day that Wu entered Yingdu and occupied the old Chu palace.
The fire in the east city of Yingdu was extinguished on the third day, and the king of Chu did not see a large number of charred corpses in the east city, so that the only remaining main force of the Chu army in Shangzhu Guojingshe rushed directly to the old Chu palace, because it was yesterday that Nao Ya sent someone to report that the old Chu palace had been occupied by the Wu state!
How could the King of Chu not be in a hurry!
The king of Chu saw that the old Chu palace was already full of soldiers of the Wu State, and he was also furious at the moment: "Wu people dare to occupy the place where the ancestors of Lonely Chu originated!" ”
At this moment, Qu Ping, who had been promoted to a left disciple a few months ago, also rushed over from Shouying, and immediately saw the angry King of Chu, and also knew that at this time, the Chu State was not a small number of elite soldiers were injured, and the Chu State was really not suitable for any war with the Wu State.
Therefore, Qu Ping took a few steps forward and asked the king of Chu for his life: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the Wu army and persuade the Wu general to hand over the old Chu palace!" ”
"Oh?" The King of Chu was also a little surprised, this Qu Ping was born in Sanlu, therefore, and he was also a relatively optimistic upstart in the court of the King of Chu, so the King of Chu also looked at Qu Ping, and asked with some doubts: "How sure is Zuo Tu to persuade General Wu to let out of the old Chu Palace?" ”
"The Xincai Huimeng is only the land of Guiyang that the Great Chu is allocated to the Wu State, the Yingdu is the old Chu capital, and the Wu army is just a friendly army, how can they occupy the Yingdu regardless of their face!" Qu Ping said that he was the first to say, so Qu Ping also had full confidence to respond to the king of Chu: "Therefore, the minister is completely sure to persuade General Wu to withdraw from the army!" ”
"Good!" Seeing that Qu Ping was so confident, the King of Chu was also a little settled in his heart, therefore, looking at Qu Ping, the King of Chu also said with encouragement: "Zuo Tu is a rare talent in Da Chu, he has been running for Gu many times before, and has contributed to the Xin Cai Hui League, which is really indispensable, and now if he retires from the Wu ** team for Gu Shuo, Zuo Tu will be the Ling Yin of Gu Da Chu in the future!" ”
The King of Chu is not a verbal promise, in fact, in addition to some stubbornness and self-use, the King of Chu is also a male lord who can open up the territory, for the virtuous, the King of Chu also dares to reuse, this Qu Ping has a close relationship with the Chu royal family, especially Qu Ping's loyalty has always been famous, the King of Chu reuses Qu Ping, it is a matter of course, even Ling Yin, the King of Chu is not stingy.
The King of Chu has a heart, how can Qu Ping agree, especially now that Yin Manchengran is still by the side of the King of Chu, seeing that the King of Chu promised Qu Ping in front of him, he looked at Qu Ping with a worried look, and in his deep eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Therefore, Qu Ping, who knew the advance and retreat above the court, also hurriedly humbly said: "The Great Chu court is full of talents, and the ministers are just juniors, how can they be so used by the king!" ”
When the king of Chu saw Qu Ping say this, he was even more happy, looked at Qu Ping, and once again encouraged a few words, that is, he sent Qu Ping as an envoy of Chu to the Wu ** team that had surrounded the old Chu palace.
Although the king of Chu asked Qu Ping to envoy to Wu, he also prepared soldiers and horses, and after Qu Ping returned, he would immediately capture the old Chu palace.
Therefore, half a day later, when Qu Ping returned, he also returned with a smile on his face to the King of Chu who had already persuaded the Wu army to retreat.
The king of Chu was unexpected, but he immediately sent the Chu army to settle in the old Chu palace, and sure enough, the Wu army retreated very thoroughly, and the Chu army quickly recovered the old Chu palace, and the king of Chu also landed on a big stone in his heart.
But then, Man Chengran came to report, seeing that the King of Chu was almost speechless in anger, the King of Chu personally went to the palace treasury that Man Chengran was referring to to inspect, and sure enough, the King of Chu swept around the palace treasury with a gloomy face......
The treasury of the old Chu Palace's palace is already empty!
