After dawn.

"Bai Zhong escaped."

Qu Yu got the latest news and immediately found Xiang Yan and Qu Yu.

Xiang Yan and Bai Zhong had fought each other, and Bai Zhong's ability was the deepest, and he frowned: "Bai Zhong only has five hundred people, but he killed thousands of our soldiers, and he can escape with more than two hundred!" ”

This terrifying strength made them all feel threatened.

"What should I do over there, the king?"

Zhao Shao asked worriedly.

In doing so, they completely disobeyed the order of the king of Chu and undermined the peace, and if the king pursued it, this matter would not be easy to solve.

Qu Yu said: "Can the king still arrest us?" ”

"The king won't do anything to us."

Their nobles control most of the resources of the Chu State, and the king of Chu has to be afraid of three points, and this matter will only be over, Xiang Yan continued: "I will give an order, first gather troops to prepare for the battle against Qin, and I will fight back the Huaiyang that I lost before." ”

If he could face Bai Zhong again this time, he was thinking that he would not underestimate the enemy again.

"I think both of them have forgotten, and now the county guard of Huaiyang is Changping Jun Xiong Qi."

Qu Yu said: "Changping Jun is the elder brother of the king, and he also has the blood of our Chu people. ”

Xiang Yan said approvingly: "Brother Qu is reasonable, I will write a letter later, and let people send it to Chen Cheng to Changping Jun, I will be responsible for the war, and the king and the Jing family will trouble the two of them." ”

They nodded and said that there was no problem, the three were tied together, and they could only cooperate to the end.

As for the fact that they violated the order and wanted to kill Bai Zhong in private, it was no longer important, if the three of them ignored the Chu State at the same time, and relied on the Jing clan alone, they would not be able to support the entire country.

The power of the king of Chu was hollowed out by their nobles.

At this time, Negative Tsugaku already knew about the assassination of Bai Zhong.

He also knew that not only the Xiang, Qu, and Zhao families joined forces, but also knew that the soldiers and civilians of Chu State all applauded, and in addition to Jing's family, there were many other people who cooperated, which showed how much Chu hated Qin State.

Now I am very unhappy.

He is the king of Chu, but he has no right to decide on the matter of seeking peace, even if he learns that Xiang Yan and others are going to assassinate Bai Zhong, there is no way to stop it, it is certain that Qin Chu will definitely fight because of this.

"Xiang Yan and the others, there is no one in their eyes."

Jing Qi is a member of the Jing family, and he is also an important minister around him.

Cutting the land and seeking peace in exchange for peace was single-handedly promoted by their Jing family, and now he has been slapped in the face by the other three, and he can't swallow this breath.

Another minister, Ren Ni, said helplessly: "The matter is irreparable, the next thing is to fight, please give the king an order to gather troops and horses as soon as possible to resist the Qin army." ”

Slowly, he calmed down his anger.

At this point, even if you don't want to fight, you have to fight.

"Pass on the widow's order, let Shangzhu be responsible for this battle."

Within the Chu State, the only one who has the ability to fight against the Qin State is Xiang Yan of the Shangzhu State.

Xiang Yan also calculated accurately, the king of Chu would let him fight, so before getting the royal edict, he also dared to gather troops and horses in advance.

——

The army that destroyed Wei did not retreat immediately.

Knowing that the state of Chu was going to cede land and sue for peace, Ying Zheng first recalled Wang Ben and let the army continue to stay outside Daliang City to standby, and then summoned the ministers to discuss how to destroy Chu.

Wang Jian was notoriously stable in his wars, and he analyzed the situation in Chu State, and directly said that it was necessary to destroy Chu with 600,000 people.

Ying Zheng didn't agree, but said that the general was old and not as bold as before, and then his eyes fell on Li Xin, whom he admired recently.

Li Xin is one of the young generals that Ying Zheng admires more after Bai Zhong, and he can also enter the palace today to discuss matters, of course, these young generals also include Meng Tian, Geng Wu and others.

They were all brought out by Bai Zhong.

Now that Bai Zhong is envoy to the State of Chu, he has no way to ask Bai Zhong's opinion, and he no longer asks Meng Wu and others, but directly asks Li Xin.

Among Bai Zhong's generals, Li Xinna has the most military exploits and is also the oldest, older than Meng Tian and Wang Li, and his experience in leading the army is correspondingly much better.

Back then, under Huan Qi's subordinates, Li Xin's brilliance was even more prosperous than Wang Li's.

Ying Zheng also wants to cultivate a young general besides Bai Zhong.

Li Xin is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Wang Jian is old and his merits are also very high, so he should go back to rest, and it is not appropriate to lead the troops again.

Ying Zheng asked Li Xin, how many people do you need to destroy Chu?

"Two hundred thousand!"

Li Xin was valued by Yingzheng for the first time and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so he naturally wanted to show it.

He also analyzed it in his heart, thought of various plans to destroy Chu, and thought that 200,000 people were enough to fight until Shouchun, capture the king of Chu, and make this great achievement to prove his strength.

At this time, Li Xin can be said to be high-spirited, and he feels that the opportunity to get ahead has finally come.

"Li Xin is the main general, Meng Tian is the deputy general, leading the 200,000 people of Wei to destroy Chu in the south."

In the end, Yingzheng decided to let Li Xin fight.

"Yui!"

Li Xin and Meng Tian responded in unison.

Wang Jian also understood what the king meant, and felt that his credit could not be higher, and if he continued to go up, he would resign and go home to recuperate.

Meng Wu and Wang Jian had the same idea, thinking that 200,000 people were too few, and the situation in Chu and Sanjin was different, but the general Wang Jian was vetoed, and he didn't want to put forward anything, he only hoped that Meng Tian would not seek merit in the process of this battle, but ask for no fault, and just come back safely.

At this time, Li Xin and Meng Tian came to the outside of Daliang City in advance.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the king's order and the news of Bai Zhong's presence in the south.

"Brother Li thinks, how should this battle be fought?"

Meng Tian spread out a map and said: "Huaibei, Huaixi, the last time I followed the generals to fight, I basically won, and now there is only the east and Shouchun left." ”

Li Xin pointed out a few positions on the map, and said confidently: "The commander of the Chu army should still be Xiang Yan, according to the report of our scouts, after the loss of Huaiyang, the Chu army focused on the defense of Xiang County, Chengfu, Bedhill and other places, which should be the first line of defense of the Chu State." ”

Meng Tian looked to the east of Xiangxian County, his eyes fell on the vicinity of Shouchun, and said: "Then Xincai and Juyang are the second line of defense, if we take these two cities, the last line of defense of Shouchun will be Huaishui." ”

"Brother Meng is right!"

Li Xin said what he thought: "My plan is to let Brother Meng attract Xiang Yan's main force in Chengfu, Xiangxian and other places, and I will bypass the first line of defense and go to attack Xincai and Juyang, and after I take down these two cities, I will turn back to meet at Chengfu, how about it?" ”

"It's a bit risky to go deep alone."

"Exploits in war, seeking in danger."

In order to destroy Chu, Li Xin had already thought of a strategy that he thought would win, and continued: "You are in Xiang County, hang my handsome flag, and let Xiang Yan feel that I am leading the main force to attack Xiang County, which is the birthplace of the Xiang clan, and they will definitely gather troops to defend it." ”

"And I'm going to sneak attack the second line of defense, hang your handsome flag, the real main force is in the second line of defense."

"False and real, can catch the enemy off guard."

He said confidently again.
