Chapter 799: Swift Battle of Chu State
(88106 .) The 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin State Jingdi went down the Haotang River, even if the Chu State claimed to have gathered 400,000 troops to resist, it was obvious that it did not block the Qin State's troops.
Copper Mountain, here is the largest copper mine gathering place in the eastern part of Chudong, it happens that the big river is also in the copper mountain of eastern Chu runs through, across the big river is the rolling mountains in the south of the Yangtze River inaccessible, there are Chu State has not vigorously developed the forest, a hundred years of wood is very common,
Enough good wood, rich and high-quality copper and iron, this is the reason why the state of Chu has been able to restore its former soldiers in twenty years.
Tongshanyi, where the Chu State gathered 100,000 slaves, mined ores day and night, transported forests, cast weapons, and sent them to the front line in a steady stream, but now, the army of the Qin State occupies this place.
From the copper mountain to the north, a hundred miles away is Luyi, and then a hundred miles, it is through Shudi, Juchao, Feiling...... Finally, there is Shaopo!
Yes, Tongshan is only a little more than 200 miles away from Shouying, the capital of Chu State, and for the elite of the Qin army, it is only a two-day journey, even if there are Chu troops blocking it on the way, at most five days, it will be able to come under Shouying!
When the king of Chu heard the news, he clenched his fists fiercely, and the nails on his thumb were almost about to squeeze through the flesh, leaving a bloody mark...... The state of Chu has already recovered the land of Huaisi, and it has invaded more than 20 cities of Jiuyi, Dancheng, and Yushan of the Qi State, and it has exterminated the sect of the Yue State and annexed the land of Wu Yue!
Compared to a year ago, the Chu State had accumulated a brazen attack, and the territory obtained by the annexation was four or five times more than the original, but in the face of a strong enemy like the Qin State that had been dormant for more than 20 years, there was no power to fight back!
"Jingyang, this waste!" The king of Chu almost uttered in an angry voice, "Nao Ya and Xiang Yan both opened up territory for the widow, and the widow gave him 200,000 troops, but he didn't even defend the Qin State for a day!" ”
Chen Zhen, the secretary of Chu who hurried back from the front line, saw that the king of Chu was so angry, and he also advised: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has been diligent in building water conservancy and laying straight roads over the years, and General Jingyang thought that holding Hengshan would be able to stop the Qin army from advancing eastward, but he never thought that the Qin State actually dug a new waterway in the south of Peng Lizhi, bypassed Hengshan, and went straight to Tongshan!" ”
The King of Chu didn't want to hear these news, but Chen Zhen was also deceived by the posture of the Corporal Lixian deliberately put on by the King of Chu in the court over the years, and immediately said bluntly: "This time the leader of the troops is Sun Changqing, the general of the old Wu State, and the Qin State used this person to pacify the Baiyue tribe in the south of the Five Mountains, and General Jingyang is not Sun Changqing's opponent!" ”
"Humph!" King Chu snorted coldly, knowing that what Chen Zhen said was the truth, and it was impossible to deny it, so he immediately asked, "Chen Qing will see how this matter can be resolved." ”
Chen Zhen pondered for a moment, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, at this time, the Qin State soldiers are strong, and although the territory of Great Chu has soared, it is actually difficult to control, and at this time, it must not meet the Qin State soldiers...... The minister still suggests, peace talks! ”
"Peace talks?!" The king of Chu asked rhetorically: "The Qin State sent troops to crusade against the Gu Da Chu in the name of [Chu Injustice and Yue], if it is to negotiate peace with the Qin State, wouldn't it be to spit out the land of the Great Chu annexing Wu Yue in vain!" ”
"...... here" Chen Zhen thought for a while, and decided to move to the king of Chu in a tactful way: "The state of Chu has been cultivating obscurity for more than ten years, and it is only in the prelude to the invasion of the Yan State that it has extracted enough benefits, and now it is better to give up some for the time being, there may not be a major event in the Central Plains to jointly attack Qin in the future, at that time, the state of Chu can wait for the opportunity to move, and the recovery of the lost territory of the ancestors of Great Chu is just around the corner!" ”
"This ......" King Chu narrowed his eyes and thought slowly, if others said these words, the King of Chu might not believe it, but Chen Zhen, most of the forbearance and recovery of Huaisi and the annexation of Wuyue over the years were planned by Chen Zhen to assist the King of Chu, and the King of Chu could not believe it.
"The Qin State still wants to put the Great Chu under its control...... How could a widow allow this! King Chu clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his face were exposed.
Chen Zhen said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, your lord, forbear it for the time being, so that when the world is favorable to Da Chu and not to Qin, Da Chu can see the opportunity to act and wait for the opportunity to carve up the territory of Qin!" ”
"Moreover, the Qin State and the land of Wu Yue are thousands of miles apart, and now all the young and strong people in the land of Wu Yue have been captured by the Chu State, and the king of Yue Wujiang is also dead, so even if the Great Chu withdraws its troops from the land of Wu Yue, I am afraid that the land of Wu Yue will most of them succumb to the prestige of the Great Chu!"
When the king of Chu heard Chen Zhen say this, he was also immediately moved, in the final analysis, even if the king of Chu did not want to agree, I am afraid that the Qin army, which had already hit Tongshan, was forced to agree by the king of Chu.
However, the king of Chu was also unwilling to show his invincibility to the Qin army so easily, and immediately ordered Chen Zhen to start preparing for negotiations with the Qin state, and ordered Naoya, Xiang Yan, Jingyang, Tang Wu and other soldiers and horses to retreat to Shouying and fight with Sun Changqing.
The king of Chu has clearly realized that he must reveal the hidden ambitions of the Qin state to the Central Plains countries, even if it will cause some losses to the Chu state, but the king of Chu also needs to know from the princes of the Central Plains countries.
The State of Qin is by no means a country that does not want to fight, and the King of Qin is even more of a tiger and wolf, holding Han Chu hostage to control the land of Henan, so as to deter the countries of Hebei!
Even if the king of Chu knew that this battle would be the end of the crushing defeat of the army of Chu, the king of Chu still chose to do so, and the king of Chu understood this, that is, if the Qin state is not weakened, then the state of Chu will never come out!
But in fact, the king of Chu still overestimated the combat power of the Chu army, although the Qin State has not waged war against the Central Plains countries in these years, but these Qin veterans have not relaxed their own training one day, and everyone has the experience of going to the Battle of Wuling to fight, not to mention, the main general of the Qin State who led the troops to attack Chu this time is Sun Changqing, a famous general who once died in the Chu State, and there is also a famous man Fan Li who disintegrated the Wu State to check and fill in the gaps for him, transportation logistics!
Only three days later, the king of Chu received that the army of the Qin State had already attacked the Shaopo area, and only then did he understand why Sun Changqing only took more than ten days to break the two major capitals of the old and new Chu State, and the first king of Chu also died of palpitations!
Looking at the generals of the entire Chu State, there is actually no one who can be Sun Changqing's opponent!
There are 30,000 people and there is no one in the world, only Sun Changqing!
But is it true that no one has stopped Sun Changqing's troops?
The King of Chu in the Shouying Palace looked in the direction of Luoyi, and there was some panic in his eyes, it seemed that Sun Changqing was still the Qin State with which he was the enemy, just by uniting the power of the two countries of Lao Qin, he was able to break the two major situations of Qi Alliance and Wei Wu and Qin, which implicated the Central Plains countries as enemies!
"Twenty years ago, this was the case, and I haven't heard of any absurd and unruly behavior of the King of Qin over the years, and I'm afraid that even the countries that have faintly worried about the Qin State's reckless military force have not been seen all these years......"
The king of Chu seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked Chen Zhen to go to Luoyi to organize peace talks with Qin, which was to urge Shaopo to hang up the war exemption card.
"This King Qin is a disciple of the tiger and wolf, but he can be silent for twenty years...... If that's the purpose, it's terrible! "I want to talk about "The Rise of Xiongqin" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
