The news that the Chu State had conquered the five cities of the Jin State soon spread, and everyone was shaken in their hearts. When King Cai heard about this, he couldn't help but applaud. "King Zhuang is really not an ordinary person, he should have sent Yun Xi to Chu State earlier. Alas, the rumors are misleading! ”

Although the Kingdom of Qian and the Kingdom of Qi were defeated, there were still remnants of the royal family in action. Hearing that the Jin State was at war with the Chu State, he was secretly happy, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chu State was busy with the Jin State and fish in troubled waters, but he heard the news of the defeat of the Jin State.

The rest of the major powers have also been paying attention to the development of the situation, and they have all decided that the state of Chu will definitely lose, and some countries bordering the state of Chu are even more ready to move, wanting to take advantage of the stalemate between the state of Chu and the state of Jin to directly attack the rear of the state of Chu. But who knew that the Chu State was so brave, in just a few dozen days, the Jin State had lost 5 cities, and I heard that the soldiers of the Chu State were each equipped with divine weapons given by the gods, and King Zhuang used the immortal method again.

All kinds of rumors made none of the surrounding countries of Chu dare to act rashly.

The tense atmosphere in the court of the Jin Kingdom was spreading, and the ministers were all in groups of three or two, and they lowered their voices to discuss countermeasures.

"What do the defenders eat? How could it be that in such a short period of time, the State of Chu conquered five cities. Jin Linggong walked up and down in front of the throne, fidgeting.

Zhao Dunshang went forward and discussed with the door for a long time and set a strategy to deal with it. "Linggong, the Chu army is menacing. If we continue to attack our Jin Kingdom, we will pass through Linghuyi, if we retreat to some cities, and transfer the soldiers and horses of other cities to Linghuyi, we may be able to repel the Chu army and let them retreat. ”

Judging from the battle report sent from the border, the Chu army is not only a single combat bravery, but also has sharp weapons to help, and only by putting all the troops of the Jin State together can it be possible to resist.

"Doctor Zhao's words are wrong, if the defenders from other places are transferred to Linghuyi, then the Chu army will not enter the Jin Kingdom as if it were no one." Immediately, a young-faced minister stood up against Zhao Dun's suggestion.

This person is Zhang Yun, who won the favor of Jin Linggong by offering a beauty to Jin Linggong. Jin Linggong increased the taxes of the people before, and this person was behind it.

"The combat strength of the Chu army has greatly exceeded the previous estimate, if we don't gather the soldiers and horses and gather the strength together, then the same thing as before will continue to happen." Zhao Dun was depressed for a while, the national disaster was at the head, and this traitor actually wanted to get in the way.

Zhang Yu looked unimpressed. "Dr. Zhao Hugh wants to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. The state of Chu is only a temporary victory, and our Jin state is a big country, even if the state of Chu expands its forces, the number of troops in our Jin state is still twice as large as theirs. As long as we are prepared in the follow-up battles, we are not afraid that we will not be able to deal with the Chu army. ”

"Zhang Yun, didn't you read the battle report? The sharp weapon in the hands of the Chu army sharpens iron like clay, and a Chu army can do it with one block ten. Not to mention the 200,000 Chu army? ”

"Shut up." The quarrel between the two ended with an angry shout from Jin Linggong.

Rao is facing the pressure of the army of Chu, and the five cities were run, but Jin Linggong disagreed, after all, Jin was the first hegemon in the Central Plains, not that the Han State and the Qi State were vulnerable. Before, it was not surprising that the Chu army could win, but when it reached the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, the Chu army could no longer occupy an advantage. As for the battle report that the Chu army had divine weapons in their hands, he believed that it was just a fabrication by the defenders of the border city in order to shirk their responsibilities.

His expression was relaxed, "What Zhang Yu said makes sense, the reason why the Chu State was able to conquer the five cities of my Jin Kingdom one after another was just by luck. Zhao Dun, you don't have to worry. The Chu army came from a long distance, but our Jin army was waiting for work. It's nothing to lose a few battles before, just get back to the field in the later battles. ”

After that, Jin Linggong got up and quit the court. The beauties of the harem are still waiting for him, and he doesn't want to waste time in the court.

Zhao Dun's heart was like falling into an ice cellar. At the moment of the great enemy, Jin Linggong did not see the situation clearly. He didn't give up and wanted to persuade Linggong again, but Linggong eagerly entered the harem.

Foreign men are not allowed to enter the harem without an edict, and Zhao Dun had to look at the gate of the harem with tears. "Duke Wen, is this the end of the Jin Kingdom?" He assisted Duke Wen and made the Jin State a major overlord in the Central Plains, but now that the Jin State is in danger, the Jin Linggong only cares about pleasure. He couldn't help but be exhausted, thinking about the situation when Gong Wen was there.

The information of Nian Pole in various parts of the Jin State flew to the table on the weekend like snowflakes, and he was in the military tent of the Chu State, but he knew everything about what happened in the Jin State.

Jin Linggong still doesn't take Chu State in his eyes, thinking that with the Jin State's army, he can easily resist the attack of Chu State, and Jin Linggong's Yelang arrogance is equivalent to opening a convenient passage for him.

However, he will not be complacent because of the stupidity of his opponent, because his goal is not the current five cities, but the entire Jin Kingdom.

At the same time, he strictly restrained his subordinates so that the Chu army would not disturb the people. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, as long as they are good to the people of the Jin Kingdom, then they will not worry about their homeland, otherwise even if the entire Jin Kingdom is taken, they will not be able to get the hearts of the people of the Jin Kingdom. But as long as it is good to them, and the people of Chu can enjoy it, let them enjoy it, then who would think of rebelling.

In time, they will think of themselves as Chu people.

In the past, when there was a war between the two countries, the victorious parliament burned down the cities of the defeated country and robbed them all, and some generals did not understand King Zhuang's kind treatment of the people of the Jin Kingdom.

They are all people who lick blood on the battlefield, they are straightforward and fast-talking, unlike other ministers, and after holding back for a while, some generals couldn't help but say to King Zhuang: "King Zhuang, many of the people of the Jin Kingdom are unwilling to be occupied by us, and they are looking forward to the return of the Jin army." Why should we be so nice to them? ”

"The mourning soldiers will win! If we kill the people of the Jin kingdom, or plunder their property. Then the people of the other cities will also get the news. It is likely that the people of the Jin kingdom will hate us because of this, and they may go to great lengths to help the Jin army resist us. Moreover, after the city of the Jin State was conquered, the people could resume production as soon as possible, so that the Chu State could benefit. ”

After these cities were defeated, the state of Chu could collect taxes from the people to further replenish the treasury. Using strong means can make the people of the Jin Kingdom temporarily submit, but it cannot last long.

On the weekend, I deliberately explained to the generals in the army, so that they could better restrain their soldiers.

"King Zhuang is far-sighted, I only see what I see in front of me, it's too short-sighted." The generals pondered for a while, and Sun Ping figured out the reason, and hugged his fists towards the weekend.
