Chapter 304: On the eve of the Great War
The turmoil in Shouchun City, Xiong Qi, as the king of Chu, naturally knew about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that Xiong Qi also knows that today's nobles of the Chu State have lost even the last trace of confidence under the defeat and retreat.
And as the noble representatives of the Chu State, the three clans have naturally rotted to the bones. Even if the state of Chu was on the verge of extinction, what they were concerned about was their own interests.
Originally, Xiong Qi thought that according to the strength of the three royal families, he could retain his strength as much as possible, even if it was not good, he would still be able to make a contribution when he opposed Qin in the future.
However, I didn't expect that Sword Pool, which has a century-old prestige, was actually humiliated twice by a group of swordsmen!
In addition to his disappointment with Jianchi and the three royal families, Xiong Qi also had a trace of curiosity about this group of mysterious people.
As for whether it was done by Qin Guo, Xiong Qi couldn't make a clear judgment for a while.
However, after careful consideration, Xiong Qi still planned to make contact with this mysterious force.
However, this force also disappeared too quickly, and after seizing many famous swords in the sword pool, they left the border of Chu directly, without the slightest nostalgia.
And Xiong Qi's eyeliner can only be controlled within the Chu State, and externally, it is basically the sphere of influence of the Qin State.
Xiong Qi, who was quite regrettable, could only put this idea on hold, because, north of Shouchun, the last barrier, Qicheng, had been completely surrounded by the army of Qin.
Between Qin and Chu, the final decisive battle has arrived......
"Squeak! Chirping! Chirping! ”
On the potholed official road, an army of more than 10,000 people of the Chu State slowly marched on the road.
At the head of the army, a grim-faced man, armed with two giant axes, his eyes were always listening to his surroundings, but any disturbance would fall into his eyes.
"General Yingbu, the king will see you." A Chu soldier rode a fast horse to Yingbu's side, and said respectfully with a hint of fear.
"Got it." Yingbu nodded, and his eyes gradually looked at the center of the army, on the ornate frame.
Although the frame is gorgeous, however, next to the frame, there is not a single eunuch Gong'e, let alone the frame of the concubine.
Recalling the scene of the previous generations of Chu kings when they were on a personal expedition, Yingbu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This King of Chu is really different. If he could ascend the throne earlier, I am afraid that the state of Chu would be very different! ”
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
"I hope that the arrival of the king will greatly boost the morale."
Yingbu looked at the Thunder Leopard Legion behind him, all of them smiling, and the excitement in his eyes was overflowing. It was very different from the way it looked after the setback outside the city some time ago.
Xiong Qi went to the front line in person, undoubtedly planning to fight to the death with the Qin army. And his fanfare into Qicheng was also known by the Qin army.
Although the Qin army now has more than 300,000 troops, however, the Chu army also has no less than 200,000, plus Xiong Qi is in charge, and the Chu soldiers are even more brave to kill the enemy.
The morale of the Chu army soared, so that on the frontal battlefield, the Qin army could not get benefits. On the flank battlefield, the three cavalry corps of the Chu State often harassed the flanks, which made the Qin army take care of it.
For a time, the Qin army was in the battle of the Chu army, and the Qin army actually began to be at a disadvantage. For the sake of stability, Bai Qi took the initiative to withdraw his army for thirty miles to relieve the pressure on the Chu army.
"Everyone, let's talk about what to do......
In the Qin army's big tent, the atmosphere was a little solemn. Even Wang Jian and his son's faces are not very good-looking.
Now, as the nominal deputy marshal, Wang Ben was the first to say: "General, the Chu army relies on the three legions of Tenglong, Shadow Tiger, and Thunderstorm to constantly contain and disperse our army, if you can't deal with these three legions, I'm afraid no matter what you do, it will be useless." ”
However, it is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Wang Jian is the nominal boss, so it is naturally impossible to charge into battle, and the only ones who can fight with him are Meng Wu and Wang Ben.
And the remaining candidate made Bai Qi a little distressed.
Although Bai Qi is very optimistic about Meng Tian, Bai Qi also knows that Meng Tian is still a little young and not enough to take on this important task for the time being.
"Report! Outside the big tent, someone came with the King's Day! Outside the tent, a soldier shouted.
"King's Day?"
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but wonder if it was Yingzheng's reprimand.
"Where is the king?" Bai Qi asked in a loud voice.
"Wait outside the tent!"
"Please!"
Under the nervous gaze of the Qin military captains, Han Fei, who was wearing a mask, slowly walked into the big tent.
Han Fei's appearance with a hint of mystery made the Qin military captains present frown.
Han Fei's appearance is obviously not a regular envoy, and such a royal envoy will inevitably have some kind of purpose.
In such a time when the war is unfavorable, this kind of special purpose is obviously not a good thing.
"The king's edict again, please take a look at the general."
To everyone's surprise, the masked envoy in front of him was not as strong as he imagined, and there seemed to be a hint of humility in his tone.
Bai Qi took the bamboo slip handed over by Meng Wu, and after reading it, he said, "Let's go out first, and I'll talk about the battle later." ”
Everyone looked at each other one after another, and then stood up and said respectfully, "Wow! ”
When everyone left, a figure slowly appeared in the big tent.
"The old minister is white, meet the king!"
"Uncle Shi, please get up quickly."
Ying Zheng hurriedly walked up to Bai and helped him up.
"Your Majesty, forgive the old minister, now that our army has penetrated deep into the Chu State, the king is in person, if you let someone with a heart say it, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble!"
"Uncle Shi rest assured, now, most of the secrets of Canglong Qisu have been solved. even got a doppelganger, and there is no need to worry about having a doppelganger sitting in the court. ”
"Neither should ...... be seen before men"
"Uncle Shi don't worry."
Bai Qi nodded, and then asked with some doubts: "Didn't Wang Shangmo learn that the King of Chu personally went to the front line and rushed over?" ”
"Yes, no." Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "However, since Xiong Qi is personally recruiting, it must be quite tricky for Uncle Shi." ”
"Yes, with Xiong Qi in charge, the morale of the Chu army has improved a lot."
"In this case, if it can improve the morale of our army, does Uncle Shi think it has the strength to fight?"
Bai Qi frowned and said, "What does the king mean, he wants the old minister to reveal his identity?" ”
Now, in addition to Ying Zheng, who can have enough fame, he is the only one who has risen in vain. It's just that Yingzheng can't come forward, so only Bai Qi is left.
"Uncle Shi, now that the situation has been completely stabilized, and the whole world has been included in my Great Qin, what else do you need to worry about?" Ying Zheng comforted.
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
No one wants to live in the shadows, let alone a general who once shook the world?
