"The tiger wolf Qin State sent 700,000 troops, and the heart of the Great Chu will not die, even if the Great Chu wants to retreat, there is no way to retreat, and the Great Chu should work together to resist the Qin State, so that there is a glimmer of life." King Chu Kaolie first said something beautiful, and then said: "Qu Jingzhao Huang Si Clan, how many troops have you sent?" ”

For a long time, King Chu Kaolie wanted to control the children of the five great families, but he never had a chance. Right now, he thinks that the opportunity has come, and naturally he will not miss such an opportunity.

"I am willing to send another 30,000 soldiers." The Qu clan patriarch thought for a moment.

"The minister is also willing to send 30,000 troops." The Zhao clan and the Jing clan are long.

"The minister is willing to send 40,000 troops." In order to curry favor, Chun Shenjun specially sent 10,000 more soldiers.

The four clans have finally made some progress, not only sending thousands of troops like last time, this time sending 30,000 or 40,000 troops, which is a big progress.

However, King Chukaoli was not satisfied, and said, "You have hidden your soldiers in the hope that you can keep your fiefdom, haven't you?" You don't want to think about it, if Da Chu is gone, what is the use of your fiefdom? Can you still have fiefdoms? Will the Tiger Wolf Qin Kingdom let you go? ”

The state of Chu is the foundation of the family, if the state of Chu is destroyed by the state of Qin, these families will be finished, as the so-called nest is finished.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to send 50,000 troops." The patriarch of the Qu clan thought about it and gritted his teeth.

50,000 soldiers, plus 10,000 last time, is 60,000, which should account for half of Qu's soldiers, and he is very painful.

The reason why these big families can deal with the royal family is that they have children. If the royal family wants to move them, there will be war. There will be turmoil in the state of Chu. Yes. The royal family knew that these big families were a great threat, but they couldn't move and could only let it go.

If there were no soldiers, the family would be powerless to compete with the royal family, and the royal family would kill them if they wanted to.

"The minister is willing to send 50,000 troops." The patriarch of the second clan of Jing Zhao said busily.

"The minister is also willing to send 50,000 troops." This time, Chun Shenjun didn't please him. There are a lot of 50,000 soldiers, and some of them have to be left to deal with the royal family.

"Do not think that the few do not know. You're trying to hide your soldiers, right? "The family has always been a threat to the Chu royal family, and the royal family has long wanted to kill them, but there is no chance, now is a good opportunity, and it is completely possible to transfer these children of the family to the front line under the banner of resisting Qin, and get rid of them by the hands of the Qin army. King Chu Kaoli naturally would not miss this good opportunity, and put pressure on him vigorously.

These families are not easy to deal with, you have a reason, I have an excuse, and each has his own reason. And just like that, it started to rip off again. This rip-off was extraordinarily brilliant. It took nearly two months.

The 700,000 troops of the Qin State pressed the border, which can be said to be like a military situation and cannot be delayed, but it is really shocking that the Chu State has been fighting for so long.

Two months later, King Chu Kaolie and Qu Jingzhao and Huang Si finally reached an agreement, and the four clans each sent another 90,000 troops, plus the last 10,000 troops, for a total of 100,000 troops.

The royal family sent 150,000 troops, plus about 50,000 soldiers from various small and medium-sized families, and this time the Chu State increased its troops as high as 560,000 in one fell swoop.

Together with the 400,000 Chu troops in Xiang Yan's hands, the Chu State transferred a total of 960,000 troops to compete with the Qin army.

Some friends may say that the state of Chu does not have so many troops, because in history, Xiang Yan led 400,000 Chu troops to confront the 600,000 Qin troops led by Wang Qian, and there were no more troops.

In fact, in history, Wang Jian's annihilation of Chu was divided into two stages. The first stage is to kill the elite of the Chu State led by Yan Xiang, that is, 400,000. In order to solve the 400,000 Chu army, Wang Jian and Xiang Yan held each other for more than a year, until after Xiang Yan lightly attacked the enemy, the Qin army suddenly attacked and defeated the 400,000 Chu army in one fell swoop.

Next, it was time to enter the second stage, and the Qin army, under the leadership of Wang Qian, pursued it until Shouchun. Xiang Yan set up another king of Chu in Shouchun and summoned the remnants of Chu to come to King Qin. In order to deal with these remnant forces, Wang Jian surrounded Shouchun and was not in a hurry to conquer it, this was to concentrate the remnants of the Chu State and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The remnants of the Chu State really fell for the trick and rushed to Shouchun in a big way. In order to completely annihilate these remnants of the Chu State, Wang Jian deployed the Qin army in Jiangyin and Yixing to cut off their retreat, and finally annihilated them in one fell swoop.

As for how many people there are in these remnants, there is no accurate number, it is difficult to know, I believe it will not be less, four or five hundred thousand should be about the same.

After reaching an agreement, the major families and clans resorted to the word "drag", either not sending troops, or sending a little bit today and a little tomorrow. Sometimes there are one or two thousand, and when there are few, there are only a few dozen, which is really a strange thing.

These soldiers who were ordered to go out on the road were either touring the mountains and rivers, or traveling east and west, which road was not easy to walk, and which one was far away, they would take whichever way. Easy to walk, easy to walk, no way.

It's good to be able to walk. There are even ten days and a half months in one place, or even as long as one or two months.

Whenever these soldiers came to a place, they had to eat, drink, and ask for beautiful women, because they thought that they were here to save the Chu country, and they were the great benefactors of the Chu country, and the Chu people would offer him.

If one is not satisfied, they will smash and loot, and even kill people and set fires. Therefore, everywhere they went, there were many complaints, and the Chu people were miserable.

Xiang Yan passed down one order after another, asking these soldiers to arrive as soon as possible. However, the children of the four great families who led the army replied arrogantly: "Xiang Yan, it is you who are incompetent and cannot defeat the Qin State, so you want us to come to help in the war." If you're incompetent, get out. We're here to help you, and you'll have to be polite to us. ”

Xiang Yan fought against the Qin State for the sake of the Chu State, and even had to beg for someone in a low voice, and almost lost his belly.

King Chu Kaoli also kept issuing orders to his soldiers to arrive as soon as possible. However, the patriarch of Qu Jingzhao and the Huang Four Clans had a tacit understanding and found all kinds of reasons. It is Chun Shenjun, who is trusted by King Chu Kaolie, and he is also constantly pretending, today there are Huang children who are good, and tomorrow there are Huang children who want to marry......

These reasons are not reasons at all, but they are eloquent, upright, and bright, and their cheeks are speechless.

King Chu Kaolie really wants to kill all these big families, but now is not the time. He had to endure it.

I'll drag you and him these soldiers. It's been ten months since I arrived at the land of Huaishui. plus the two months that King Chu Kaolie had a relationship with the four great families. It took a full year for the state of Chu to increase its troops this time.

It took a year to increase the number of troops, which is quite appalling.

As soon as these soldiers arrived, the Chu army camp was in chaos, Xiang Yan's orders could not be carried out, and Xiang Yan could not effectively control these soldiers.

The subordinate soldiers are the foundation of the clan, and of course these clans will not be willing to hand over the subordinate soldiers to Xiang Yan's control, but will be led by the core disciples of the clan. For the sake of their own interests, they must work against Xiang Yan.

Qu Jingzhao and Huang Xiang are among the five families. Except for the soldiers of the Xiang family, who obeyed Xiang Yan's orders, the 400,000 soldiers of the other four families did not bird Xiang Yan.

Not only did Xiang Yan not say anything, but he also worked against Xiang Yan everywhere, Xiang Yan wanted them to go east, and they were facing west, which made Xiang Yan distressed. Xiang Yan has the intention of purging military discipline, however, these four great families are huddled together, and if one is moved, four will be moved, and Xiang Yan has many worries. I just don't dare to start.

At this time, the state of Chu should work together to resist the state of Qin. How can there be regeneration of civil strife.

Xiang Yan's orders were only carried out by Xiang's soldiers and the national army, but they were only 500,000.

The remaining small and medium-sized families practice yang and yin worship, ostensibly carrying out orders, but in fact they are violating, because they also have their own interests. If Xiang Yan is in a hurry, they will switch to the four great families, and Xiang Yan will have no problem with them.

In this way, the 960,000 Chu army was divided into two groups at once, each doing its own thing, and could not unify the order.

With the chaos of the Chu army camp, just like the vegetable market, the Qin army camp was cleaned up, like an iron bucket.

For more than a year, Qin Jun didn't do much, just throwing stones and playing all day long.

Stone throwing is a game in the Warring States period, that is, the competition of who throws the stone far, similar to the modern shot put.

When Wang Jian learned of this, he ordered the generals to record the distance of the soldiers throwing stones, and he wanted to hold a stone-throwing competition to select the winners and reward them.

With Wang Qian's support, the soldiers were even more happy, and the stones were even harder.

Wang Jian does what he says, holding a stone-throwing competition once a month, and the winners are rewarded.

Of course, this reward is not taken for nothing, these powerful people who can throw stones far away will become another army.

In this way, Wang Jian quietly selected an elite team with extraordinary strength, totaling about 30,000 people.

This army was selected by throwing stones, and Wang Jian called them "slinging troops".

This slinger has extraordinary strength, can throw stones far away, and if it appears on the battlefield, it is an unstoppable warrior.

Historically, it was through throwing stones that Wang Jian selected a strong warrior to form the sharp knife of the Qin army. Under the leadership of Wang Qian, he broke through the camp of the Chu army in one fell swoop, and finally destroyed the Chu state.

Xianyang, King Qin's Palace, upper study.

Qin Yiren knelt on the low table, his eyes widened, he looked at the military report, and kept shaking his head.

Fan Sui, Wei Yi, Meng Wu and Cai Ze looked disdainful.

"This Chu State is so corrupt that it will take a year to increase the troops, and it will not die!" Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

It took a year for the Chu State to increase its troops this time, and if the Qin army wanted to do it, by the time they arrived, the daylilies would be cold.

"Hey!" Fan Sui sighed and said, "Although the Chu State is big, it is rotten and speechless. ”

"That's right." Wei Yi nodded heavily, agreeing with this, and said, "Fortunately, the king had the foresight to decisively increase the troops. Otherwise, with an increase of 100,000 troops, it would take three or five years for the Chu State to mobilize troops, and the battle to destroy Chu would be too long. ”

"Right now, the State of Chu has mobilized 960,000 troops in the land of Huaishui, even if it is not the entire strength of the State of Chu, it accounts for eighty or nine, and Great Qin can do it." Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, and he said, "In order to better annihilate the Chu army, the widow decided to go to the front line in person. ”

The state of Chu mobilized an army of 960,000 to compete with the Qin army, although the Qin army's chances of victory were very high, but they did not dare to take it lightly, after all, it was 960,000 Chu troops, and if the Qin army was not good, it would suffer a big loss. It is necessary for Qin Yiren to go to the front line in person to boost morale.

Fan Sui and Wei Yi did not object.

"Prime Minister, Meng Wu, Cai Ze, you stay in Xianyang. Wei Yu and the widow went with him. Qin Yiren commanded.

"No!" Fan Sui took their orders.

Qin Yiren explained the affairs of the country a little, led 100,000 Qin troops, set off from Guanzhong, and went straight to the land of Huaishui. (To be continued......)
