That night, 3,000 elite soldiers wrapped their horses' hooves with straw, and without even beating torches, they quietly went to the southeast overnight.

In the next few days, Wan Yanzhang still maintained his previous rhythm, organizing a wave of attacks in two or three days.

Not surprisingly, he was repelled by Jiang Zhongxing's troops.

By the night of the fifth day, there was no news from the southeast, and Wan Yanzhang became a little anxious.

He was pacing back and forth in the military tent, when suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and after Yan Zhang strode out of the tent, he saw a soldier rolling his saddle and dismounting, kneeling on the ground and saying: "General, the Emperor Tai of Great Chu has been captured, including the three thousand palace front troops, and the two thousand troops defending the city have all been captured. ”

"Now that General Zha Da is personally pressing the Emperor Taishang on the way to come, the little one will come back first to report the news."

Wan Yanzhang looked up to the sky and smiled, "Okay, good, great, I didn't disappoint this king!" ”

He instructed the heralds, "Go and call the clerk to come, write a letter for this king, and send someone to the Great Chu Palace." ”

The clerk quickly wrote the letter, and Wan Yanzhang called a soldier over, "You go, send this letter to the city wall." ”

The soldier nodded, took the letter in his hand and left.

Walking under the city wall, the soldiers raised their hands high, and the soldiers guarding the city saw him by the light of the torches, and immediately became vigilant, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom waved the letter in their hands and slowly approached the city wall step by step.

The soldiers did not shoot him in vain, but quickly reported the situation to Jiang Zhongxing.

Jiang Zhongxing personally walked up to the city wall and heard the soldier shouting in Da Chu dialect, "Our second prince has written a letter to your emperor." ”

Jiang Zhongxing motioned for the soldier to put down a small basket.

The Jin soldiers put the letter inside, and then retreated step by step.

Jiang Zhongxing got the letter and turned around and went back to his temporary tent.

Then he opened the letter without hesitation.

It was not a good thing for Jin Guo to send a letter at this time, he was worried that Jin Guo wanted to negotiate peace.

Although he has been winning battles, the emperor and his ministers have been discussing peace all day long, and their courage has been frightened by the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom, and victory cannot be saved.

After opening the letter and reading it, Jiang Zhongxing couldn't believe his eyes.

The dignified king of a country was captured like this?

Although he is no longer the king of a country, he is the emperor!

But it's still a great shame!

Wan Yanzhang used the Emperor Tai as a threat in the letter, asking Da Chu to open the city gate and beg for surrender.

Jiang Zhongxing sat down dejectedly, and the letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball by him.

He sat there, his eyes closed, thinking for a long time, when he suddenly opened his eyes, put the letter on the candle and burned it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhongxing personally went up to the city tower again.

The camp of the Jin army was set up a few miles away from the city, and from a distance, it was black and oppressive.

At this moment, an officer who was specially collecting management information for Jiang Zhongxing hurriedly came over and whispered in his ear: "General, a 10,000-strong army of King Qin from Yucheng was originally only a few dozen miles away from the city in the middle of the night last night, but it suddenly turned around and went back. ”

Jiang Zhongxing asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

When reinforcements arrive one after another, they will be able to annihilate all the troops led by Yan Zhang.

The officer whispered: "The news that the lower officials got is that the Emperor Taishang sent eunuchs to the past to issue a holy decree to let all the troops of King Qin from all over the country return. ”

Jiang Zhongxing closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and couldn't say a word.
