"Stop the arrows! Don't hurt the King of Chu! ”

Sun Wu hurriedly rushed to the gate of the palace, brandished the bronze sword in his hand, and shouted: "Pass the order, be sure to capture the King of Chu alive!" ”

"No!"

Sun Wu is really worried that the King of Chu will die in the chaotic battle, and the King of Chu Xiong Zhen may be okay to say, but Xiong Zhen's mother Meng Huan has a lot to do with Qingji, and she must not die here, under the arrows of Wu Jun!

"Get out!"

"Kill!"

After learning that the soldiers of the Wu army did not dare to hurt him, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, was suddenly overjoyed, immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, and ordered all the guards to follow him to kill a bloody path.

As the guards of the Chu State, they are basically all strong and stubborn, and their combat power is good, but in the face of the wolf-like warriors of the Wu army, it is inevitable that they will fall behind when fighting one-on-one.

Fortunately, Xiong Zhen's purpose was just to escape, so he didn't fight with Wu Jun.

With the speed of the chariot, Xiong Zhen and his guards quickly shook off the pursuing Wu army, fled from Yingdu, and headed west.

failed to capture Xiong Zhen alive, which made Sun Wu a little regretful.

However, this is much better than killing Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu.

After all, if the king of a country dies at the hands of Wu Jun, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the people of Chu again, and it will not be conducive to Wu to better conquer the various cities of Chu.

……

Not long after, Qingji, who was far away in Yunmengze, got the news that Yingdu had been captured.

"Hahahaha, it's worthy of Sun Wu, the widow didn't look at the wrong person!"

Qingji looked at the battle report in his hand, and couldn't help laughing, and he was very relieved.

Sun Wu led 5,000 elite soldiers of the Wu army to force the Han River, and then took the capital of Chu in one fell swoop, and unexpectedly smashed the palace of the king of Chu.

This is really a big fluke.

Not to mention the capture of Yingdu City, you must know that the fortifications of the Chu Palace's palace are also extremely strong.

In this era, the construction style of Miyagi was generally built like a small castle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Chu army has a thousand guards, as well as some temples and palace maids, and it is difficult to hold the palace of the king of Chu, but the side that can't stand the Wu army doesn't have any siege equipment, not even an ordinary set of armor!

This led to the possibility that the war would fall into a tug-of-war, and then the Chu army would turn defeat into victory.

However, what makes people's jaws drop is that Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, actually chose to retreat without a fight!

Why?

Qingji couldn't figure it out for a while, and could only say that everyone's personality was different.

The historical Xiong Zhen (King Zhao of Chu) actually did not have the courage to confront the Wu army head-on, but chose to flee for refuge and threw his capital to the Wu army.

Xiong Zhen may be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he can definitely think that the palace of Chu cannot be guarded.

He didn't dare to take that risk!

The key is that Xiong Zhen fled as soon as he fled, and he didn't tell Zixi in advance, which led to Zixi being captured by Wu Junsheng.

Xiong Zhen can be said to be the last to pit the west.

Because Xiong Zhen knew Yi Zixi's character, most of them would not approve of his choice to retreat without a fight when the Chu army still had the strength to fight.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals of the Wu army gathered together.

Hearing the news that the city of Yingdu was captured and the king of Chu Xiong abandoned the city and fled, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and smiles.

After all, the Chu people don't even have their own capital, so what else can they fight them with?

"Newspaper—"

At this time, a junior colonel hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Qingji on the commander's seat: "King, the sentry in front has come to report that a large number of Chu troops have appeared north of Hanshui and are moving to the north!" ”

"Not good! Chu Jun is trying to escape! ”

The generals reacted immediately.

"King, please send troops to intercept immediately!"

"Success or failure is here, if you can take this opportunity to destroy the main force of the Chu army in one battle, then the Chu State should be destroyed!"

"You must not let Shen Zhuliang go!"

The generals were all talking non-stop.

However, Qingji was able to calm down quickly.

In the face of the generals' words, Qingji did not respond, but came to the parchment map hanging on the screen by himself, and studied it carefully.

Soon, Qingji noticed that something was wrong.

At this time, the Wu army had already broken through the thirteen water villages set up by the Chu army, crossing two-thirds of Yunmengze.

The main force of the Chu army fled northward, undoubtedly passing through the land of Yongxi, and then going all the way north to the Shenlu, Xiang, and even Deng and Shen lines, with their backs to the Yun State in the west.

To the north of the Yun State is the Qin State.

After Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, and his entourage fled from Yingdu, they went all the way to the west, and it is very likely that they fled to Yun for refuge, and then asked for help from Qin to send troops to help.

At this time, Qingji wanted to send troops to intercept the main force of the Chu army, but it was impossible to do it at all.

The whip is out of reach!

"Shen Zhuliang is really decisive."

Qingji chuckled, and immediately issued an order, saying: "Pass the order, the whole army will rest for a day, and then the troops will be divided into two routes." The Eastern Route Army had Tian Sui Tho as the general, and 40,000 people were responsible for capturing the cities and lands in the east of the Chu State, such as Junxiang, Sui, Huang, Xi, and Li. ”

"The Western Route Army marched towards Yingdu with the widows!"

"No!"

Qingji's strategic purpose is very clear, it is to "divide Chu", not "destroy Chu", so he just wants to divide half of the territory of Chu.

Although it is only half of the Chu land, it is also extremely vast.

For the main force of the Chu army that fled, as well as the king of Chu Xiong Zhen, Qingji didn't care.

With the existing strength of the Wu State, it is difficult to annex the huge Chu State, so Qingji does not mind dividing the Chu State first, and then letting the Wu State digest it one by one.

……

Yingdu.

Qingji led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to take a warship, crossed Yunmengze, and finally arrived at Ying, the capital of Chu State.

When Qingji arrived at the gate of Yingdu City, Sun Wu led thousands of Wu soldiers to greet him.

The mighty procession stretched for miles, with no end in sight.

The soldiers of the Wu army were all wearing crimson battle clothes, helmets and armor, holding bronze spears or long ges, with a majestic and high-spirited posture, like a victorious rooster.

This made the Chu people on both sides of the street look at it in their eyes, and they felt very uncomfortable.

After all, for the Chu people, the Wu army can be described as an aggressor.

How can they have a good temper in dealing with these aggressors who flaunt their might in front of them?

If you saw that these Wu soldiers were all fierce and murderous, maybe the Chu people who were still staying in Yingdu would have been unable to help but rush forward and fight them to the death.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Having said that, the current Yingdu has been destroyed by several major battles, and there is not much strength to resist.

Qingji stood on top of the chariot at this moment, looked around, looked around, and looked at the hateful gaze of Li Shu of Chu State on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After all, it is the Chu State that has enjoyed the country for more than 500 years, and the heritage is still there, and the people have a strong sense of belonging.

Wu Guo wants to truly digest these unruly Chu people, so that they can really integrate with Wu Guo, regardless of each other, there is still a long way to go!
