What made Chu even more desperate was the news from Zhu Fangcheng that Guangling, an important town in Jiangbei, had been captured by the Korean army, and the Korean army was preparing to cross the river. This means that the more than 200,000 Chu troops in Jiangbei will not be able to cross the river and support Jiangdong.

As for the 80,000 troops west of Huangshan, with the loss of Songyang, Yugan, Nanchang and other places, there are only 20,000 people left at most. In Jiangnan, in addition to the 50,000 troops in Jiangdong, the rest is the 20,000 troops in Huiji County. Ninety thousand troops, this is all the troops that the Chu State can mobilize.

"Let's make peace!" Even the previous main battle faction, Ling Yin Miliang, had to admit that the Chu State had completely lost the last chance of winning. Even if the four kingdoms of Qin, Yan, Zhao, and Qi are willing to send troops, with their mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, after fighting this battle, I don't know how many people are left in the Chu State! Of course, if the four countries have some conscience, quickly send troops and then go smoothly, so that South Korea is caught off guard, Chu can completely go back on its word, cancel the previous conditions for peace, and turn against South Korea!

Jingzhou sailors have appeared on the Zhongjiang River, and 400 miles downstream is Taihu Lake, and Wu County, which is built on the shore of Taihu Lake, is too dangerous. However, the state of Chu still has to struggle, the only three thousand boat divisions on Taihu Lake were sent to the mouth of the Zhongjiang River, and the king of Chu gave them only one order, to hold the entrance to the lake at all costs, he didn't want to listen to how difficult it was, he only wanted the Jingzhou water division to be unable to enter the Taihu Lake and threaten the capital.

Zuotu Huang Xie has rushed to Luoyang, and the king of Chu has told Huang Xie before leaving, as long as South Korea is willing to withdraw its troops, all the land north of the river can be ceded to South Korea, and the hundreds of miles of Yuzhang County west of Huangshan will also belong to South Korea. Even, the state of Chu was willing to give up the title of king and become a vassal of Korea.

At the same time, Qi State, Linzi.

With the death of the Empress Dowager Qi. The left prime minister Tian Dan was seriously ill and could not be a director, and the court of Qi was gradually controlled by the right prime minister Hou Sheng. The middle doctor Mink Bo is a virtuous minister. It's a pity that it is not tolerated by others. A few days ago. was accused of many crimes by the officials of the Housheng faction, and Mink was angry and resigned and went into hiding. The envoy of Chu knew his hobby, so he used a lot of money to buy the right prime minister Hou Sheng, and Hou Sheng then offered advice to the king of Qi, saying that Qi and Chu were dependent on each other, and once the Chu State was destroyed, the next country to deal with in Korea would inevitably be the Qi State.

But at this time, South Korea also sent an envoy to warn the Qi State, and the Qi State dared to mobilize a large army to rescue the Chu State. Korea will inevitably send 300,000 troops to destroy the Qi state, so the king of Qi hesitates. When the king of Qi hesitated, South Korea really mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, and the troops were on the front line of the Great Wall of Qi.

The king of Qi was frightened, even though the envoy of Chu viciously stated that if Qi did not send troops, Chu would be willing to surrender to Korea. ceded the land and became a vassal, and then helped Korea to destroy the Qi State, and the King of Qi was unmoved.

The queen died of illness. Tian Dan is seriously ill, Mink Bo is in hiding, where can Qi Guo have the confidence to fight with South Korea! With an army of less than 200,000 people in the whole country, or with those generals of the clan! Qi really didn't want to provoke South Korea. If it was South Korea, Qi would not mind beating the water dogs, but now that South Korea is in full swing, King Qi still wants to live a few more years of peace. The life or death of the Chu State is not a concern for itself. In the eyes of King Qi, King Qin Xiaowen died like this. The state of Chu is in danger again, and the matter of Hezong is already yellow!

In Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom. The envoy of Chu did not receive the reply he wanted, and King Yan greeted the envoy of Chu with good wine and meat. But it just doesn't make a statement about sending troops to aid Chu. The envoy of Chu couldn't wait any longer, and after finding out the powerful relationship, King Yan simply said that he couldn't get sick.

Prime Minister Jiangqu was a kind man, and told the envoy of Chu that as long as Qin and Zhao were willing to send troops, Yan would definitely send troops together. But how many soldiers and horses will be sent, Yan Guo did not make a guarantee. In Yan Guo's plan, King Qin Xiaowen died violently, the possibility of Qin sending troops is too small, relying on the strength of Yan State alone, it will not succeed in rescuing Chu State, but it will anger South Korea and set him on fire, why bother! The envoy of Chu could only return disappointed.

In Dai County, there was a great controversy in the Zhao court over whether to support the Chu State. Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, thought that the Chu State could make up an army of 400,000 if it tried its best to destroy the Chu State, and it was not an easy thing for South Korea to destroy the Chu State. The state of Chu is to be rescued, but it is by no means this time, it is better to agree on the surface, strengthen the determination of the state of Chu to resist, and wait for the state of Chu and South Korea to fight for a year and a half, after both are defeated, the state of Zhao will unite with the state of Qin, the state of Qi, and the state of Yan to send troops. In a word, rescue the state of Chu, don't be in a hurry. How powerful the Wei State was at the beginning, the troops were under the city of Handan, and the Qi State didn't wait slowly for more than a year before sending troops!

Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, resolutely believes that the ROK is able to mobilize 500,000 or 600,000 troops silently and without a breath, and it must have made full preparations and has a great plan. Today's Chu State has completely lost contact with other countries, and even if there is contact, more than a month has passed since it came and went, and the variables during this period are too great. Although South Korea has 2 million soldiers, only 1 million can really be mobilized to the front line. So, South Korea is not scary.

The state of Chu was originally surrounded by Korea, and it was cautious, and with the large-scale invasion of Korea, it would lose confidence even more. Zhao should quickly contact the three kingdoms of Qin, Yan, and Qi and send troops together. Otherwise, once South Korea blocks the river line regardless of casualties, the state of Chu will be divided in two. If Wu County, which was empty of troops, was captured by the Han army, and if the king of Chu was captured by Korea, then even if there were still more than 200,000 troops on the front line, the state of Chu would also be destroyed. Without the spiritual temperament of the King of Chu, the army of more than 200,000 people is just a plate of scattered sand!

No one knew that Pingyang-jun's bold conjecture was the fact that was happening now, and Pingyuan-jun felt that Pingyang-jun was really alarmist. To put it in a bad way, no matter how stupid the Chu State is, it also knows the importance of the river to the Chu State. In Songyang, the state of Chu has more than 50,000 boat divisions guarding it, the time and place are favorable, and the state of Chu has all of them, how can it fail! Now to rescue the State of Chu, how many troops will Zhao Guo lose?! Will the State of Chu be grateful to the State of Zhao for this and be obedient to the State of Zhao?! In the final analysis, the exchanges between countries are still based on interests, sacrificing oneself to save others, and Zhao Guo does not need to be in such a hurry.

There are also some people who simply pin their hopes on the Qin State, after all, the Zhao State has enough influence to influence the Yan State and the Qi State, but the national strength of the Qin State is comparable to the Zhao State, and the Zhao State cannot influence the choice of the Qin State. If the State of Qin is unwilling to send troops to rescue the State of Chu, it will depend on the strength of the State of Zhao alone. Rescuing Chu is just a drop in the bucket.

Because of this point of view, Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, and Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, gave up the controversy and turned to look at the ideas of the Qin State. Of course, to the envoys of the State of Chu. Zhao Guo replied that he would send troops to the rescue. But the ecstatic envoy of Chu didn't know until he left, how much Zhao sent troops and when to send troops actually depended on Qin's attitude.

The world has set its eyes on the Qin State and Jinyang, and it is also a wonder that Qin and Chu, two countries that have had grievances that have lasted for hundreds of years, will have a situation where one side is waiting for the other side to rescue.

The state of Qin is very entangled now. Rescuing the state of Chu is a problem, offending South Korea to death, what should South Korea do with its own hands? It's also a problem not to rescue the Chu State, the Chu State is destroyed, what should South Korea do to itself?

However, when Korea sent an envoy to propose marriage to Qin, all of Qin's concerns were dispelled. King Han wants to marry his sister, the princess of the concubine, to King Qin, which is a great joy, which shows that South Korea looks up to Qin. Prime Minister Zhang Ping is begging to see the King of Qin. After a long conversation for a few hours, King Qin announced that he would accept the proposal of Korea and would marry the Korean princess with 30,000 gold.

Afterward. Only then did all the countries in the world know that Korea gave Wusui, an iron-producing important place in the southeast of Yuanqu, to Qin as a dowry. With Wu Sui, the weapons of the Qin State will be raised to a higher level, and there will be no need to worry about the source of the weapons anymore. At the same time, South Korea assured Qin that within ten years, South Korea would not embarrass Qin, and the two countries would attack Zhao together. Divide it.

The so-called wealth is moving, and attacking South Korea with Zhao Guo is a chestnut in the fire. Too dangerous. Attacking Zhao with South Korea is easy to find out what to get. The state of Qin was bought by South Korea in this way. The people of Qin, who were originally in turmoil and worried about the Korean invasion, were so relieved.

Because Qin Guo agreed to South Korea's peace and affinity, Zhao Guo realized that Qin Guo and himself were already drifting apart. Although it was necessary to rescue the Chu State, the time to send troops was greatly delayed. Zhao Guo didn't expect it, so it was delayed, and Chu State never waited for his own reinforcements.

In early October, the Jingzhou Navy Division completely annihilated the 2,000 boat divisions of Taihu Lake in Chu State and entered Taihu Lake. At the same time, Zhu Fang and Yunyang were captured by Bai Qi's army, and the Chu army retreated to Yanling, and two hundred miles behind Yanling was the capital of Chu, Wu County.

At this time, Wu County can be called gloomy, although Zhao has agreed to send reinforcements, but it seems that far water can not quench the thirst, and the offensive of the Korean army has not slowed down. Xiang Cheng, the Marquis of Anping, who was trapped in Shouchun City, led his army to break through several times, but was blocked by the Korean army. The 100,000 Chu army led by Jingyang was blocked in Juchao and could not go north to support Shouchun.

After more than a month of fierce battles, there were only 60,000 troops left in Shouchun City, but under the city, there were still 100,000 Korean troops led by Le Cheng. There were still 90,000 soldiers under Jingyang's command, but in the north of Juchao, the 120,000 Han army led by Han Teng was eyeing the tiger, and in the south, the 50,000 army led by Wei Yun abandoned Zhaoguan and entered Yihu (now Hefei), cutting off Jingyang's return route.

In Jiangbei, the 30,000 troops from Zhongli and Chuzhou were ambushed and the whole army was annihilated. Guangling was even captured by the Bai Qi army. In the entire Jiangbei, the state of Chu can control only four cities, and all the troops are stationed here: Qisi City, 20,000; Shouchun City, 60,000; Juchao City, 90,000; Zhaoguan, 15,000 people. The troops seem to be a lot, but they are already in a desperate situation, unable to retreat to Jiangnan, and what is even more terrifying is that they are fighting separately and cannot be gathered together.

There is no doubt that South Korea rejected Chu's request for peace, and even if Huang Xie, the leftist, made his own proposal and expressed his willingness to cede Gangdong County to Korea, South Korea did not agree, but the offensive became more and more urgent. In view of the extremely bad situation, the 20,000 elite Chu troops stationed in Huangshan and Qianligang have abandoned their garrisoned fortresses and returned to Wu County. The consequence of this was that the Han army of Yuzhang County calmly divided its army of 10,000 and followed the Chu army to Yu'er City on the south side of Taihu Lake, cutting off the connection between Jiangdong and Huiji County. However, with the 20,000 troops of Huiji County moving north, it is believed that it will not be long before the Chu army can regain Yu'er City and restore the connection between Jiangdong County and Huiji County.

The current situation is like this, in Yanling, two hundred miles north of Wu County, the state of Chu sent 20,000 troops to garrison, of which there are 5,000 elites. In Wuyuan, two hundred miles south of Wu County, the State of Chu sent five thousand old and weak people to garrison it. The 20,000 elites of Huiji County have two missions in the north, the first is to recover Yu'er City, and the second is to strengthen Wuyuan and leave a necessary retreat for the Chu State. As the capital, Wu County is the most important place in the Chu State, gathering 25,000 elites, plus 20,000 old and weak.

The Jingzhou Navy Division was still patrolling the Taihu Lake, and seemed to know that its forces could not threaten Wu County. Therefore, the Jingzhou Sailor went ashore on the northernmost side of Taihu Lake, cutting off the connection between Yanling and Wu County. The number of troops should be around 60,000. After all, half of the troops of the Jingzhou Navy Division are still on the river. Prevent the Chu army in the north of the river from crossing the river and heading south. Under the city of Yanling, it was the main force of the Korean army led by Bai Qi, with more than 70,000 people.

In general, the South Korean army invested 140,000 people to attack Wu County, except for the 10,000 South Korean army, which can be called a lone army, the remaining two South Korean armies are each other's horns, and they can join forces at any time. On the side of Chu, there were a total of 90,000 troops. The number of troops was reduced by almost half. But considering that Chu is on the defensive side, such a comparison of forces is still acceptable.

In the eyes of the Chu State, if Yanling is not taken, Bai Qi should not dare to surround Wu County, and the Chu State will not encounter any great danger. The Chu State used excellent perseverance to consume the Han army. But it turned out that Chu was wrong again.

On October 20, Bai Qi suddenly divided his troops and took Nanwu City, which was more than 100 miles away from Wu County, and Nanwu City was near the sea and had no strategic value, so. The state of Chu did not send any large army, and the state of Chu only felt a little puzzled about this. But immediately afterward, the state of Chu suddenly received the news of the loss of Wuyuan. The five thousand old and weak people in the city did not hold out for long at all, in fact, the Korean army swaggered into the city. Because from the very beginning, Bai Qi's goal was to put the 20,000 Chu troops in Huiji County who rushed to help.

The state of Chu did not know that ten days ago, 50,000 Han troops had passed through Taihu Lake and quietly entered Yu'er City, on the north bank of Zhejiang, while the 20,000 Chu troops of Huiji County crossed the river. Halfway crossed, 20,000 Chu troops were annihilated. And then. This Han army pretended to be the Chu army and "drove away" the Han army in Yu'er City. and settled in Wuyuan in a grand manner. At this point, the roads to the south and east of Wu County have been completely locked by the Korean army, the west is the vast Taihu Lake, and the north is the army of Baiqi, and Wu County has become an enclave! This is the reason for the gloomy clouds in Wu County!

With the loss of Wuyuan and the reinforcements of Huiji County, and the unknown situation of Yanling, the only thing Chu could rely on was the 45,000 people in the city. What the state of Chu lost was not only an army of 25,000, but also the determination and confidence to resist! In particular, the Han army has already arrived in the city, constantly promoting the cruelty and inhumanity of the nobles of the Chu State and the benevolent government of Korea, everyone can perceive that the hearts of the people in Wu County are a little chaotic!

On October 25, the head of the Yanling garrison was sent to Wu County, and the state of Chu immediately realized that Yanling had been lost. The head of the guard of Yanling was cut off by his subordinates, because everyone knew that the state of Chu was gone, and human nature was originally selfish and wanted to benefit himself. In addition, the Han army issued a reward, and those who can take the head of the Yanling guard will be rewarded with a thousand gold, given a thousand acres of fertile land, and made an earl. For the sake of profit, there are always people who take risks. In addition, the life of Korean propaganda is indeed what the people of Chu can aspire to, so the soldiers and civilians in Yanling City have defected, and less than 1,000 people choose to accompany the burial of Chu. The Han army can almost be said to have taken Yanling bloodlessly.

On the third day of sending the head of Yanling Shou into Wu County, Bai Qi sent an envoy to lobby the king of Chu. The envoy told the king of Chu three things, the first thing was that Yanling had been lost; The second thing is that the Korean army has divided 10,000 troops to attack Huiji County. said that it was an attack, but it was actually an uplift, because the entire Huiji County added up to only one or two thousand old and weak; The third thing is that the Jingzhou Navy Division has already transported huge trebuchets and Han crossbows, and the 120,000 Han troops outside the city can attack Wu County at any time.

Bai Qi gave the king of Chu two ways out, the first is to disarm and surrender, the king of Chu will become the first feudal monarch of Korea, and the fief is Yingdu and Yiling, of course, it is impossible to govern the people, these two places are only the food of the king of Chu, and there are 20,000 households in total, that is to say, the king of Chu will become the feudal lord of 20,000 households in the food town. The second is stubborn resistance, then the South Korean army will not hesitate to use any means and at any cost to take Wu County, even if Wu County becomes a purgatory on earth. When Wu County is defeated, all the people of the Chu royal family will be escorted to Luoyang. South Korea will never raise waste people, they will be like the original King of Wei, male ploughing and female weaving, without any freedom. As for counting on Jingyang and Xiang Cheng to break through to Jiangnan, the envoy advised Chu to dispel this idea, because they were now too busy to take care of themselves. Zhao's possible reinforcements have not yet been recruited.

Three days, Bai Qi only gave Chu three days. When the huge trebuchet condescended and launched stones from the slopes of the Korean construction to the inner city, the state of Chu gave up all will to resist.

On October 31, 259 BC, the four gates of Wu County were opened, and the king of Chu led the civil and military officials out of the city and announced his surrender to Korea! Although the king of Chu was a loser, the generals led by Bai Qi did not have any arrogance, but stroked his chest with one hand and saluted the king of Chu! The king of Chu asked Bai Qi why he respected himself so much, and Bai Qi replied that just because the king of Chu ordered surrender and saved the lives of 100,000 people, he deserved his respect! As King Han said, there is enough blood shed in this world! What's more, the king of Chu is already the feudal monarch of South Korea, and according to the Korean system, those with low titles must salute when they see high titles! The King of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time felt that there was no longer a little burden on his body.

On November 20, Jingyang and Anping Marquis Xiang Cheng received a letter from the King of Chu, or it is more appropriate to call a letter of persuasion, at the same time, the news that Wu County was captured by the Korean army spread all over Chu, Jingyang and Anping Marquis Xiang Cheng chose to surrender to the nearby Korean army, and a big war ended in a blink of an eye before it completely broke out!
