Pingyu City.

The sound of screaming and killing filled the high walls of the entire city, and countless Qin soldiers and soldiers, densely packed like tide ants, flocked to the city wall.

The arrows flashed back and forth, and one by one the soldiers of the Qin army were hit by arrows, and fell from the ladder and the car, and the guards of the Chu army in the city road, there were also people who were shot by the soldiers of the Qin army.

In the city roads full of corpses, with the Qin army attacking the city day after day, the number of Chu soldiers and soldiers has long been gone, and the Chu soldiers who came up from the city ladder to help are already scattered with only a few dozen.

As the drums of the Qin army became more and more roaring, another wave of Qin soldiers, from the far away Qin army outside the city, flocked to the city, more and more Qin soldiers jumped into the city road from the car, the ladder, the city road and the Qin soldiers fighting with the naked eye became less visible, as the Chu soldiers died one after another, more and more Qin soldiers climbed the city tower.

Defeat is sometimes instantaneous.

Although there were still more than 1,000 people, in the face of the continuous Qin army, the Chu army finally couldn't hold on, and while fighting with the Qin army, it retreated to the city ladder.

The other side.

At the south gate of Pingyu City, the huge city gate slowly opened, and the generals of the Chu army, with their cronies and the rest of the Chu army, hurriedly fled the city and rushed towards the hinterland of the Chu State.

On the walls of Pingyu City, the last flag of the state of Chu was cut down and replaced with the flag of the state of Qin.

Peace finally recovered from several days of fighting.

After the Qin soldiers entered the city, after the battle was over, they began to clean up the corpses, and the corpses of the Qin soldiers and the Chu soldiers were to be separated, and the bodies of the Chu soldiers would all be disposed of by the people in the city.

Perhaps it is also due to the fact that nearly a hundred years ago, King Xuan of Qi sent the famous general Kuang Zhang to lead the troops of the five capitals, plus the northern defenders, to attack the Yan State, and then smashed and looted in the Yan capital, raped and plundered, and committed unforgivable crimes against the people of the Yan State, which eventually led to the descendants of Kuang Zhang being chased and killed by the Yan people almost to the end, even if there are descendants who no longer dare to be officials and merchants, they can only be incognito.

Attacking the city does not harm the civilians, that is, the vast majority of the leading generals, tacit things, will not say it so that others think they are afraid, but they will never indulge the generals to burn and rob the people, especially the Qin State, the Qin State is famous for its cultivation and warfare, and it is even more important for the people to cultivate, and the slaughter and mutilation of the people will not do the Qin State the slightest benefit, even if it is guilty, it is also arrested for hard labor.

On the streets of Pingyu City, due to the end of the war, all the people of Chu hid at home and did not dare to come out, which also led to the fact that women and children were rarely seen in the streets except for the people who were arrested to dispose of the corpses.

In the army of the Qin State, Li Xin, escorted by a group of Qin generals, rode a war horse and looked around in the streets.

The capture of Pingyu is undoubtedly to pry open the door of the Chu State, which makes Li Xin more confident in destroying Chu.

"General, the granary in the city is empty, all places have been searched, and no grain has been found, the Chu army has descended and said that the Chu general will only hoard grain in the city for more than ten days!"

A Qin pawn on horseback came to Li Xin and reported to Li Xin.

Li Xin heard the words of his confidant generals, although he was a little surprised, but he just thought that the main general of the Chu army knew that he couldn't resist it, so he prepared to retreat at the beginning and didn't think much about it.

Moreover, the Qin army also had grain and grass, which were sent in a steady stream.

Whether the Chu army hoarded grain or not was not so important to Li Xin.

"Pass the order, the army will rest in Pingyu, and in two days, go to Juyang!"

Li Xin turned his head to Captain Han Bo and asked.

"No!"

When Han Bo heard this, he hurriedly gave Li Xin the order, then turned the war horse under his crotch, and rushed to the direction of the city gate with his cronies.

In the mansion in the castle.

Li Xin looked at the map, and all gathered together with Duwei Zhangshu, Duwei Yingxi, Duwei Ximenfei and others, and at this time, a general of the Qin army in his twenties hurriedly came to the study.

"Father, I have already gone to investigate, and all the scholars in the city have left, and there is no one in Pingyu City!"

The young general came to Du Wei Zhangchou and gave his hand to report.

When Zhang Shu heard this, his face was full of solemnity.

This appearance made Li Xin, as well as Duwei Yingxi, Ximen Fei and others, all look at Zhang Shu with a puzzled expression.

"General Zhang, but what happened?"

After Ying Xi glanced at Li Xin and the other generals, he looked at Zhang Shu and asked.

As a relative of the Ying clan, even Ying Zheng personally said that Ying Xi is calm and good at listening to people's words, which is why Ying Zheng will let the young Ying Xi follow Li Xin to come, and now, Ying Xi also firmly remembers the words of his cousin Ying Kan, the battlefield is a matter of life and death, listen to the words of other generals and keep it in mind.

General Zhang Shu is one of the many captains, the elderly, there are rumors that the Zhang family is after Jiang Taigong, whether it is true or false Ying Xi does not know, but Ying Xi knows that now the Zhang family is in the Qin State, not to be underestimated.

Zhang Shu's father died in the war for the Qin State, and now Zhang Shu is the captain of the Qin State, and he has also been fighting horses for the Qin State for decades, and his wife is the daughter of the Wang family, and has three sons, the eldest son Zhang Han is an official, and the second son Zhang Ping is the young general who came to report next to him.

Although Zhang Ping is only a small general, Ying Xi never despises it, and the reason is that the Wang family and the Zhang family are married, and Zhang Ping is the son of Zhang Shu.

"The old man is worried!"

Zhang Shu glanced at Ying Xi, and after seeing that Li Xin and the others had also looked over, he shook his head slightly.

"The old man and General Wang Jian have been fighting horses for many years, and after dozens of battles, the enemy's plan can be seen in the actions of the scholars. Now in Pingyu City, the scholars have abandoned the city and left, which is really abnormal! ”

Zhang Shu said this and looked at Li Xin.

"The scholars in Pingyu City must be afraid of something, so they all left!"

Zhang Shu said, as a general, Zhang Shu expressed his worries to the main general Li Xin, as an elder, Zhang Shu also reminded Li Xin that he felt wrong.

"Scared?"

When Yingxi, Ximen Fei and others heard this, they looked at each other, what were the scholars in Pingyu City worried about? The Qin army will not kill them, they all say that the Qin army is like a tiger, and the Qin people will not eat them.

Who knows why those nobles left?

In front of the map.

Li Xin heard General Zhang Chou's words, his brows furrowed slightly, Li Xin didn't notice this before, but now Zhang Chou has ordered the second son to investigate clearly, and the scholars in the city have left, which makes Li Xin also vaguely aware that things are indeed a little abnormal.

However, looking at the map, Li Xin looked at Meng Tian's march route, at this time Meng Tian must be attacking Bedhill, and at this time, it was impossible for Li Xin to withdraw his troops rashly.

The king trusted him and mobilized 200,000 Qin troops to hand over to him, at this time he had already captured Pingyu, and at this time he withdrew his troops, how did Li Xin return to Xianyang to meet Yingzheng.

Thinking that Wang Ben was fighting with the Chu army, Bai Yan had already led his troops to capture Qufu and cut off the connection between Chu and Qi, how could Li Xin be willing to be a queen, and like Meng Tian, Li Xin was also eager to capture Shouchun for Qin.

"The king ordered us to attack Chu, we must be the king in this trip, to destroy the state of Chu, no matter what the state of Chu moves, we must first conquer Yan Ying and Juyang!"

After Li Xin hesitated, he looked at the generals and spoke.

When Ximen Fei and the others heard this, they all nodded, and the old general Zhang Shu also knew Li Xin's thoughts, although he was worried, he also understood that he could only take one step at a time.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

The three Qin soldiers hurried to the study, and then everyone saw that among the three people, one of them was kneeling on the ground with a panicked expression.

"General, it's not good, Yingchen has rebelled!"

Qin Shuyu reported.

"What?"

"Yingchen rebellion?"

Li Xin, Zhang Shu, Ying Xi and others were taken aback when they heard this, and then their faces changed drastically and they glanced at each other.

Li Xin even went around the wooden table directly, stared at the soldiers, and looked at the soldiers with a solemn expression.

"The right prime minister is in Yingchen, how can Yingchen rebel?"

Li Xin asked incredulously.

At this moment, in Li Xin's mind, he couldn't help but think of the bamboo slips he received from Bai Yan in the past, on which Bai Yan reminded him word by word, asking him to beware of Ying Chen, and now Li Xin was full of panic, Li Xin knew very well what it meant for the Qin army if Ying Chen really rebelled.

"General, this is true......

The Qin pawn who spoke was the soldier who fled from Yingchen, and at this moment, the soldier's expression was full of horror, and his eyes were afraid to tell Yingchen about it.

Inside the study.

Listening to the soldier's story, after learning what happened to Ying Chen, Li Xin, Zhang Shu, Ximen Fei and others turned pale, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but show panic.

And the younger Ying Xi and Zhang Ping also knew that big things were not good, especially when they looked at everyone's appearance, they were even more apprehensive.

"General, you must leave Pingyu immediately and join General Meng Tian, otherwise all the Qin troops will be buried here in Pingyu!"

After listening to the soldier's story, Zhang Shu immediately looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin also slowly came back to his senses at this time, trying to calm himself down, although he was full of doubts, but now he also realized the urgency of the matter, Li Xin turned around, came to the map, and put his hand on the map.

"City Father!"

Li Xin thought about it for a long time, and finally set his eyes on the map, a place called City Father.

Just as Li Xin's words fell, a Qin pawn hurriedly came to the study.

"General, ten miles outside the city of Pingyu, I found the army of the Chu State, and its number is no less than 200,000!"

Qin Zu looked flustered and reported to Li Xinyu.

Hear the words.

Not to mention Li Xin, even Zhang Shu and the others were shocked, 200,000! When did the state of Chu have so many soldiers and horses, counting the more than 100,000 who fought with General Wang Ben, and the more than 100,000 in Qufu, now there are 200,000 troops here.

How could the State of Chu have so many soldiers and horses?

"Pass my order, all the soldiers of the army, immediately join General Meng Tian and go to the city father!"

Li Xin was also panicked at this time, thinking that Meng Tian was still leading his troops to attack Bedqiu, Li Xin understood that in order to face the army of Chu at the same time and recapture Yingchen, he had to gather all his forces.

Otherwise, the troops were divided into two routes, and the Qin army, which had been fighting for days and then being cut off from food, would sooner or later be surrounded and killed by the Chu army one by one.

"No!"

"No!!"

Zhang Shu, Ximen Fei and others searched together to receive their lives, and then turned around and left.

Three days later.

Li Xin led the army of Qin and finally joined forces with Meng Tian's troops, but in the face of Yingchen's rebellion and Xiang Yan's 200,000 army chasing after him, Li Xin and Meng Tian still did not dare to stay, and they both decided to go to Chengfu to rest first.

After all, there is no grain at the moment, and the army has been fighting for days, there is no rest at all, in the face of the army of Chu who is waiting for work, the chance of victory is slim, and he must go to the city father, and as long as he arrives at the city father, once General Wang Ben gets the news, he will definitely find a way to rescue.

However, because Yingchen couldn't go back, Juyang, Yanying, and Shencheng were all Chu State mansions, and it was a dead end to go, and Li Xin and Meng Tian could only go directly to the city father from the ancient road from the endless mountain range.

This road was not easy to follow, which also caused Li Xin to be caught up by the army of Chu before he had time to guard after walking for three days in a row.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

In the wilderness of the territory of the Chu State, fighting with the Chu army, the Qin army did not have an advantage, not to mention that the Qin army was still a tired division.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, the army of Chu that kept pouring out, as well as the Chu army behind them, had all been chased behind them, Li Xin, Meng Tian and others rode war horses, looking around in a panic.

"Deus Ex!"

Li Xin drew his sword angrily, and after glancing at Meng Tian and the others, the sword pointed in the direction of the city father, desperate, and was about to break through and leave.

Generals such as Meng Tian, Ximen Fei, and Ying Xi also drew their swords one after another, and with their cronies, they rushed towards the army of Chu in the direction of the city father.

Among the great armies of the State of Chu.

Xiang Yan rode a war horse and looked at the army of the Qin State, not in a hurry.

Here to the city father is Chu land, in the face of the Chu army's surprise attack, the Qin army is unable to escape, at the moment Xiang Yan is more concerned about besieging and killing more Qin troops, Chu wants to get a chance to breathe, forcing Qin to lead Wang Ben back to defense, the current Qin army must be killed as much as possible.

"Father, the child leads the troops to capture and kill the main general!"

Xiang Liang was riding a war horse at this time, looking at Qin Jun, he couldn't wait, his eyes were full of war intent.

Behind Xiang Liang, they are all the elite soldiers and horses of the Xiang family, and they were all led by Xiang Liang in the past, so it can be said that those soldiers and generals are all Xiang's henchmen.

"Go ahead! Remember to be careful! ”

Xiang Yan did not refuse Xiang Liang's request, and Xiang Yan was naturally clear about Xiang Liang's skills.

Fan Zeng also rode a war horse, looked at Xiang Liang, the commander of the Xiang clan, and killed the Qin army, but did not make a sound.

"The battle of trapping, be punished! Let the commander of the Qin army leave! ”

Fan Zeng looked at the Qin army with straight eyes, facing the crowd of people in the Qin army, Fan Zeng knew that once the Qin army did the battle of the trapped beast, the Chu army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so after thinking about it, Fan Zeng suggested that it was better to let the master leave first.

will go, under the siege of the Chu army, the morale of the Qin soldiers will definitely dissipate, and there will be no intention of fighting to the death.

"Good!"

Xiang Yan heard Fan Zeng's words, turned his head to look at Fan Zeng, his eyes were full of amazement, compared to Xiang Liang and other scholars and disciples, Fan Zeng's words were always the least, but they were extremely useful, until the point.

Thinking that in the future, even if he was not there, but Fan Zeng helped the Xiang family and helped the King of Chu, Xiang Yan was finally relieved.

As long as the king of Chu is asked not to listen to the villain in the future, and Fan Zeng is murdered by traitors like Xinlingjun, the state of Chu will definitely be worry-free.

"Pass the order and let go of the commander of the Qin army!"

Xiang Yan turned his head and ordered.

"No!"

A general of the Chu army hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then rode away.

"Ying Zheng! Knowing that the Qin army was defeated, did you still dare to attack Chu? ”

Xiang Yan rode a war horse, thinking in his heart, and then with Fan Zeng and a group of cronies and generals, he calmly looked at the battlefield in the distance, and the sound of killing was all over the sky.

This war was a gift from Xiang Yan to King Yingzheng of Qin for sending troops to attack the State of Chu, and the 200,000 Qin troops, even if they were Yingzheng, I am afraid it would be difficult to accept.

………………………………

Inside the city of Shouchun in the state of Chu.

In the main hall of the royal palace, a banquet is being held for the ministers and hundreds of officials.

Xiong Yingzhu sat on the throne, feeling the gaze of the beauty's eyes, watching the beauty next to him holding the wine to his mouth, Xiong Yingjia drank the wine with a smile on his face.

When the life of the King of Chu was so enjoyable, Xiong Yingshu was finally able to realize it, hugging Concubine Jing Ai, looking at the civil and military officials in the main hall, laughing and talking.

Xiong Yingshu knows that there are still many scholars in the Chu State, and he has a lot of words about him, the king of Chu, but Xiong Yingshu is not worried, as long as General Xiang Yan defeats the Qin army this time, and Chu gains the land of Wei, when the time comes, all the scholars in the Chu State will once again unite as one and serve him as the king of Chu.

The strong Chu that the previous Chu kings did not do may eventually be realized in their own hands, and the descendants will inherit everything from him, continue to let the Chu State and the Qin State stand side by side, and even annex the Qin State.

Come to think of it.

Xiong Cheng's heart is full of joy, and he has great ambitions in his heart, and he can't wait to realize it immediately.

Outside the palace, a soldier of Chu State on horseback hurriedly came to the gate of the palace, and after dismounting, he hurriedly made his intentions clear to the palace guard generals, and then handed over a roll of bamboo slips to the palace guard generals, who hurriedly turned their heads and ran into the palace.

"Your Majesty! Oh no!! ”

In the main hall, the hundred officials of the Chu State were enjoying the dance of the female music of the Chu State in the hall, and suddenly saw the palace guards coming in in a hurry, and most of the officials couldn't help frowning.

After all, no one wants to be disturbed.

The same is true of Xiong Yingshu, the king of Chu on the throne, I saw Xiong Yingshu looking at the palace guard with a displeased face.

"What's so alarming?"

Xiong asked.

When the palace guard general heard this, he hurriedly picked up the bamboo slip with both hands.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Wu sent news that the Qin army suddenly crossed the river and attacked the Chu army, Gongzi Qi's army was defeated and captured, all the generals of the Chu State were captured, and the Qin army has been lost one after another, and the Qin army has gone south!"

The palace guard opened his mouth to report.

With the words of the palace guard, the main hall, which was extremely lively at the last moment, was quiet in an instant, and all the officials of the Chu State looked at the palace guard with a shocked face at this time, and their minds were blank.

The eastern side of the state of Chu was lost?

More than 100,000 Chu troops were defeated by the Qin army, and the Qin army has taken the opportunity to go south?

Inside the royal palace.

"What, Bai Yan has already gone south? This ......"

In the main hall, Xiong Yingshu was also caught off guard by this news, and stood up with a shocked face, Concubine Jing was also full of panic, looked at the palace guard generals, and then looked at the King of Chu on the side, you must know where her clansman Jing Yu is also in the army, and the Qin army is going south, doesn't it mean that her people are also in danger.

"Your Majesty, now that the army of my Chu State has been transferred to Juyang, as well as Jiaocheng, the east of the Chu State is empty, and the Qin general Bai Yan has nearly 200,000 Qin troops to the south, and it must be coming for Shouchun, and I also ask the king to come immediately, let General Xiang Yan, or General Jing Qi, lead the troops back to Shouchun!"

After a minister of Chu came back to his senses, he hurriedly got up, bypassed the wooden table, came to the center of the main hall, hurriedly faced the bear on the main hall, and pleaded.

"The ministers seconded it!"

"Please also ask the king to give an order to let General Xiang Yan and General Jing Qi return to Shouchun!"

Many other ministers of the Chu State also rose up to echo him.

In fact, the Qin army went south, and the Chu land east of Shouchun, although there was no Chu army, but the Qin army wanted to conquer those important cities of the Chu State, and it was not so simple in a short period of time, the reason why these Chu officials were so anxious was that the clansmen and fiefdoms of these officials were all in the east of the Chu State, and the Qin army went south, and the first thing that damaged the interests of the Qin army was their family.

Therefore, these Chu officials were in a hurry, and wanted Xiang Yan and Jing Qi to immediately transfer troops back, force away the Qin general Bai Yan, and protect their family's interests and land.

"Pass the widow's order, immediately send this matter to General Xiang Yan and General Jing Qi overnight!"

Xiong Yingqi was breathing very quickly, looking at the officials in the hall, where did he not know what those officials were thinking, at the moment Xiong Yingqi was in a panic, but he was not stupid, and he did not order Xiang Yan and Jing Qi to return to Shouchun directly, but just ordered someone to inform Xiang Yan and Jing Qi of the news.

The meaning is that after Xiang Yan and Jing Qi learned the news, they immediately came up with countermeasures.

It is also a disguised way to appease these officials and make these people not worry.

"No!"

When the palace guards heard this, after the eunuch took away the bamboo slips, they hurriedly retreated.

"Qin General Bai Yan!"

Xiong Ying's face was very ugly, and he stood on the main hall, muttering this name again that he had said I don't know how many times.

This time, when he learned that Bai Yan had led nearly 200,000 Qin troops southward, Xiong Yingshu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and became more and more determined, no matter what, he must get rid of this person, and he must not let this person return to the Qin State and serve Yingzheng again.

Seeing that General Xiang Yan was about to conspire with Changping Jun with the Qin general Li Xin according to the plan, the Qin general Bai Yan suddenly sent troops south at this time, and also defeated the army of Chu stationed in the south, this speed, and strength, Xiong Chengshu knew that this person would not die, and the disaster of Chu State! And also let him, the king of Chu, have trouble sleeping!
