At the same time, the offensive of the Chu army in the other two directions did not succeed, and the Chu army paid for it nearly 5,000 killed and more than 3,000 wounded. After this battle, the Chu army was unable to continue to force the crossing. At the same time, the city guards who were subordinate to the state of Chu thought that it was impossible for the state of Chu to set foot in the land of Cai, and the people were demoralized, and the guards opened the city gates one after another to surrender to the Han army. Even if there were a few people who were loyal to the Chu State, they were sent by Tongue Yong to break through the city and destroy their clan.

But after Yang Zilu received the battle report, he was not happy, but his face became solemn. Because the Han army itself suffered a lot of casualties, more than half of the Chu army. It doesn't seem like anything special, not even a pyrrhic victory. But don't forget, the Han army attacked it halfway, occupying a geographical advantage and a military advantage.

Especially in terms of troops, there were not many soldiers of the Chu army who came from the forced crossing, and the sum of the three roads did not exceed 10,000. The Han army is different, they have 50,000 people, more than five times the Chu army that came to attack, and such a comparison still makes such a record. From here, we can see the tenacity of the Chu army, and it can even be said that if Yang Zilu hadn't sent 10,000 Han troops to the coalition army to sit there, with the quality of the coalition army, I'm afraid that this battle would not be a victory, but a fiasco.

And how to deal with the state of Chu in the future? The tenacity of Chu made Yang Zilu even more jealous. He is not allowed to accept a crushing victory, because for Yang Zilu, a disastrous victory is like the rising sun. After noon, he will fall, and at a rate that is more visible than rising.

The black bear walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at Yang Zilu with a solemn face, and did not notice Yang Zilu's abnormality, and said excitedly: "Lord, did Yu Yong defeat Jing Manzi?" ”

"Hmm!" Yang Zilu put the battle report on the table in front of him and pushed it in the direction of the black bear.

The black bear smiled and said, "Lord, you don't know me by these words, but I don't know them!" ”

Yang Zilu couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and her originally solemn mood was a little lighter, Yang Zilu said: "Killed almost five thousand people." ”

The black bear was so excited that he almost danced when he heard this, and after half a sound, the black bear came to his senses and asked Yang Zilu with hope: "Ha!" Ha! This time, Jing Manzi cut off such a big piece of meat! Lord, are we going to take advantage of the victory? ”

"Nope! The current battlefield is not here, but in the ......" Yang Zilu said this, stood up, turned around, and looked at the place where 'Qin' was written on the map hanging behind him.

…… Yongcheng, the capital of the Qin State......

"Foreign minister remnant bamboo, I have seen Duke Qin! Remnant Zhu is here to wish the Qin Kingdom prosperity for generations to come, on behalf of my family master! Remnant Zhu saluted the high Qin Mourning Prince.

"You're welcome! Please, the doctor will go back to see your lord, and on behalf of the widow, I wish the Han Kingdom prosperity for generations! Qin Miangong said indifferently.

Remnant Zhu nodded, smiled and sat aside. After thinking for a while, he said to Qin Mourning Gong: "Remnant Zhu came all the way, only to see that the land of Qin is fertile and the people are still martial, which is really extraordinary!" ”

When Qin Mourning Gong heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he still said vaguely: "The doctor is polite!" You're welcome! ”

Remnant Zhu said solemnly: "This is the truth, but Remnant Bamboo is a little puzzled. The Qin State has the land of Zhou Xing, and the people are martial and brave! It's just that why didn't Remnant Zhu hear of Qin's brave name among the princes? ”

Before Qin Mourning Gong could answer, a Qin State doctor sitting on the side had already stood up and said angrily: "Mo Feier Han Kingdom is from the Han Kingdom, is it to show off the martial arts of the Han Kingdom?" Who in the world does not know that the west and north of Qin are deserts, the east is Bajin, and the south is Qiangchu! ”

Remnant Zhu was happy when he heard this, could it be that Remnant Bamboo has a tendency to be abused? No, but the remnant bamboo said this, just to lead to this, didn't he have a breakthrough? However, on the surface, Remnant Zhu still glanced at the Qin State doctor with a dissatisfied face, looked at Qin Mourning Gong, and said angrily: "Qin Gong, who is this?" Even if Remnant Zhu is wrong, not everyone can insult the envoy of the Han Kingdom! ”

Remnant Zhu is particularly heavy in the word messenger, and Remnant Bamboo is the envoy on behalf of Yang Zilu. Although it is not himself, Remnant Zhu was reprimanded, and to some extent, it can be said that Yang Zilu was scolded.

Qin Mourning Gong didn't want to make enemies with the Han Kingdom because of this sentence, so Qin Mourning Gong immediately scolded: "Cheng'er, retreat!" ”

When Remnant Zhu heard this, his heart turned, and he knew who the person who said this just now was, Remnant Zhu smiled and asked half-tentatively: "Could this doctor be the prince of Qin?" ”

"Exactly! I have lived in Bianyi for a long time, and I don't know how to be polite! Qin Miangong smiled, he is really not modest in what he said, his son Prince Cheng, has liked martial arts since he was a child, and the words are only known for a thousand years, this is still the result of his supervision for more than ten years, as for the number of etiquette, not to mention, the words have not been learned well, Qin Mourning Gong has the intention to let the prince learn etiquette.

"Huh! How could it be! Prince, this is a real surname! When Remnant Zhu heard this, he immediately complimented.

"Humph!" However, the complimented prince Cheng Ke did not appreciate it at all, but snorted coldly.

Qin Mourning Gong immediately glanced at the prince reproachfully.

Remnant Zhu didn't care about the prince's words, nodded solemnly and said: "The prince's scolding just now is indeed reasonable, the west and north of the Qin country are deserts, the east has the Jin country, and the south has the Chu country. What a prison! ”

Qin Mourning Gong smiled, he was not younger, impulsive, and credulous than the crown prince, when he first ascended the throne, civil strife broke out in Qin State, and at that time Qin Mourning Duke almost died of civil strife. But by winning over the lord and a group of old courtiers, Qin Mourning Gong barely calmed down the civil strife and sat firmly in the position of the monarch of Qin State, which also made Qin Mourning Gong very tactful and cautious.

Seeing that Qin Mourning Gong didn't say anything, Remnant Zhu couldn't help but be a little anxious, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Now in this world, there is no vassal state that can be stable. Either they will attack someone else, or they will be attacked. Remnant Zhu said abruptly here, if the Qin State can't open the current prison now, I'm afraid it won't be able to get out of the end of destruction! ”

"What does the doctor think about this?" When Qin Miangong heard this, he was not annoyed, but just frowned and asked tentatively. After speaking, he glared at the prince with his eyes, and stopped the prince's angry scolding in his throat.

When the remnant bamboo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, there was a door! Remnant Zhu coughed, and then said: "There is only a little land in the Qin State, after all these years of development, the Duke of Qin may also find that the population of the Qin State is too large now, and the land is too small!" But there is only so much food and land, it is not enough to distribute at all, but the people of Qin will not care about this, what will they do if they don't have land and food? I'm afraid that the Duke of Qin also knows the consequences, but now there is a good opportunity to let the Qin State break out of the prison! ”

Although the State of Qin was located in the west, Qin Mourning Gong did not know anything, and the rumors about the imminent war between Chu and Han immediately flashed in his mind. Qin Miangong's face was a little dissatisfied, and he said in a deep voice: "The doctor wants my Qin State to start a war against the Chu State and help your Han State contain the Chu State, right?" ”

Remnant Zhu shook his head and said, "Duke Qin just said one thing right, Remnant Zhu no!" It should be said that the lord of my family also hopes that the Duke of Qin will start a war against the Chu State, but it is not for the Qin State to contain the Chu State. Instead, I hope that I can carve up the Chu State with the Qin State! It's not the use that Qin Gong you think, in the words of my family master, this is a win-win situation! It is beneficial to both Qin and Hangu. ”

Qin Mourning Gong was silent, and the crown prince frowned and asked loudly: "Since you said that it was a partition, then come to a little practical!" Don't send troops from our Qin Kingdom, your Han Kingdom is still watching the excitement behind! At that time, who did we go to reason with in the Qin Kingdom? ”

Rean Zhu also knew that if there was no reality, I was afraid that Qin Miangong would not send troops, at least not so easily. "According to the message sent to me by my subordinates, now my lord has sent troops. And my lord also contacted the seven vassal states to form a coalition to send troops to the Chu State, for this news, the Duke of Qin can immediately send someone to investigate, if it is wrong! The head of the remnant bamboo on the neck, no need for Qin Gong to say, the remnant bamboo will be served! ”

Speaking of this, Remnant Zhu paused and said, "Of course, I don't deny that the Qin State sent troops to help our Han State!" But please don't think about how much our Han State will take advantage of this matter. Wouldn't the Qin State take advantage? Hanzhong of Chu State, Danyang of Chu State! And now the attention of the Chu State is attracted to us, if the Duke of Qin sends troops, it will be able to seize a considerable amount of land in the fastest time, as for where this land is, how big it is, it will depend on the ability of the Qin State! This is the sincerity of my Han Kingdom, isn't this enough to attract Qin Gong to send troops? ”

Qin Mourning Gong did not speak, he cautiously calculated how much etiquette Qin would gain and how much etiquette he would lose if he got involved in this war.

However, the crown prince was persuaded by the remnant bamboo, and took the lead in defecting, standing up and saying: "Father! Although the Han people came to the envoy this time, their minds were not pure, but they were right! Now the world is like a mountain forest, the grass is eaten by sheep, the sheep is eaten by wolves, and the wolves are eaten by tigers. If we don't become stronger, then we will always be sheep and only be eaten! ”

The crown prince's influence in the court of the Qin State does not seem to be low, as soon as he stood up, three or four doctors immediately stood up and echoed: "Lord, the prince is very true!" ”

The doctor who was hesitant came forward, and almost half of the doctors who participated in the court meeting this time agreed with the prince's opinion. This may not be half of the doctors of the Qin State, but the people who can be accompanied by Qin Mourning Gong to greet the remnants of the bamboo are obviously the upper echelons of the Qin State, and their influence is undoubtedly beyond doubt.

Qin Miangong couldn't help but be a little flustered in the face of this situation, and he didn't know whether to agree or not to agree to Canzhu's request, but he still maintained a little calm. Qin Miangong did not make a decision immediately, but looked at the chief who sat first (Qin State official position, power is similar to Xiangguo, but the power is greater than that of ordinary Xiangguo. Wang Sunhuang.

At the beginning, Qin Mourning Gong was able to consolidate the throne, largely thanks to Wang Sunhuang's father who persuaded several old clansmen. And Wang Sunhuang's line has also been reused and has become a great force in the Qin State, second only to the monarch, so Wang Sunhuang's statement is very important.

Wang Sun Huang thought for a while, and said to Qin Mourning Gong: "Lord, this matter is related to the national fortune of my Qin State, and the slightest carelessness is likely to lead to the destruction of the Qin State. Even if it does not perish, it will suffer a heavy blow, and you have to think twice! I don't think Dr. Zhuzhu will be stingy until a few days and not give me the Qin Kingdom, right? ”

Wang Sunhuang's later words were said to Remnant Zhu.

When Remnant Zhu heard this, he smiled calmly and said: "This is to know, this way to come, Remnant Bamboo is also quite tired, Remnant Bamboo will retire and rest." I'll see Gong Qin again in three days! ”

…… Baiju Chu army camp......

Under the illumination of the torches that swayed in the wind, it could be seen that Ye Gong was actually standing at the gate of the camp with the deputy marshal and right Yin Ziguo, as if waiting for someone. The guards brought by Ye Gong and Ziguo were whispering on the side, and everyone couldn't help but guess curiously who was coming.

Some people speculated that the king might have come, and some even said that Sun Wu had come to give advice to the Chu State, but none of them were convincing.

First of all, when the king came, Ye Gong and Ziguo didn't have to be so hidden, just two people came, but they lined up with doctors and soldiers in the army to greet them.

As for Sun Wu, it is rumored that Yang Zilu opposite is Sun Wu's disciple, have you ever seen your father help outsiders beat his son? (Master is like father.) Besides, even if Yang Zilu was not Sun Wu's disciple, how many people did Sun Wu kill in Chu State? Will he come to the state of Chu to help?

Everyone was confused for a while, but for the mysterious person, they became more and more curious, who is it? It is worth Ye Gong, who is now in power in Chu State, to personally go out of the camp to greet him.

Just as everyone was about to see through it, there was a grunt of carriages running in the silent field, and all the guards immediately stood up straight, and swallowed back what they had said in half of their stomachs.

And Ye Gong and Ziguo walked out of the camp gate, looking a little respectful, and looking at the end of the road with a little admiration. A military chariot with two torches came slowly. When the troop van approached, everyone in the pro-soldier guard was dumbfounded. They even wondered if the vehicle was going the wrong way, or if it wasn't passing by.

The chariot was very dilapidated, and the wheels that were supposed to be mounted on the bronze sword were missing on one side, and although there were on the other, only half of them remained. The body of the military vehicle was even more old and full of patina. If this is called an antique and advocating the ancient style, then the four war horses pulling the troop chariot are speechless. The old horse's walk is lame, which makes people wonder if such a horse-drawn carriage will die halfway, and the accidental snort, it can be seen that there are not a few teeth in the war horse, and these war horses don't know how old they are, and they actually pull them out.

However, just when the guards thought that it was not Ye Gong and Ziguo who came to greet him, Ye Gong and Ziguo had already greeted him, and shouted respectfully: "Shen Gong, you are here!" After that, Ye Gong also kindly helped the people on the military cart down with admiration.

I saw that the eyes of all the pro-soldiers and guards were almost staring out, but this treatment was not available to the king! What is the origin of the people?
