"The heavens are dead!"

In the canyon, as the sky darkened, even the cronies owned by Jing Qi were the elite of the Chu army, but in the face of the continuous siege and forcing of the Qin soldiers, they were finally exhausted and killed by the Qin soldiers one by one.

When there were only a dozen people left around him, Jing Qi stood on the snow in complete despair, and at this moment, the so-called snow was already covered with bright red blood and corpses.

Looking at the Qin soldiers around him, Jing Qi, who had already surrounded himself densely and knew that there was no way to escape, didn't want to be humiliated before he died, so he directly picked up a sharp sword and put it on his neck.

Looking at the already dark sky on the canyon and feeling the bleak cold wind, Jing Qi's eyes seemed to be recalling his life at this moment.

All the things he has done, whether it is to help the loser fight for the throne, whether it is to kill Li Yuan, the Queen Mother's family, or to destroy the hostile clan, these Jing Qi have never regretted it, Jing Qi is just a pity, the great cause has not been completed, the tyrannical Qin has not been destroyed, before he died, he did not help the Chu State and defeat the strong Qin.

"If Bai Yan is in the Qi country, as a Qi general, and Qi Chu fights Qin together, how good it would be!"

This was the last thought that came to Jing Qi's mind before he died, and then Jing Qi closed his eyes and pulled the sword in his hand with all his might.

Inside the canyon.

In the eyes of countless soldiers of the Qin army who were holding Qin swords and Changge, everyone looked at the middle of the Chu pawns who were covered in blood, and the general of Chu fell to the ground.

Then everyone saw that those Chu soldiers who didn't know how many Qin soldiers they had killed saw the Chu generals kill themselves, they looked at each other, and they all made up their minds, holding the sharp swords full of blood in their hands, and followed the generals of the Chu army to kill themselves.

In the blink of an eye.

In less than two breaths, the more than ten Chu soldiers who had just killed Qin Pawn were a little frightened fell in a pool of blood one after another, lying on the corpses of countless Chu Pawns and Qin Pawns.

The entire battlefield was completely quiet with this scene, and the breeze after sunset was even colder.

Looking at the corpses of those Chu soldiers, all the Qin soldiers and soldiers around them who were holding Changge and Qin swords all breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense heartstrings were finally relaxed.

If those Chu pawns still have to resist, maybe they will die under the sword of those Chu pawns.

In the end, it is the cronies of the big people, everyone, everyone is really brave, if they are not surrounded in the canyon today, instead of meeting on the battlefield, no one is sure to kill all these people.

"Quick, it's getting dark, before sunset, don't let go of any omission!"

"Beware!! You, harder! ”

On the battlefield where the sound of screaming and killing dissipated, countless corpses were scattered all over the canyon, and in the wide canyon, as far as the eye could see, the corpses were all over the field, and the soldiers of the Qin army were collecting arrows, changge, and swords, and some soldiers of the Qin army were also carrying corpses, or carrying wounded Qin soldiers.

And the most striking thing is that many Qin soldiers, under the command of the generals, on some thick snow piles, holding Changge, constantly stabbing under the snow, every time they pull it out, they can bring out some blood-stained water, or blood water.

Although the snow rolling down from the top of the mountain could break away the defenses of the Chu army, it also covered the corpses of many Chu soldiers, many of whom were still alive.

The reason why the generals were so cautious was also that they were worried that when Bai Yan came to the bottom of the valley, he would be suddenly injured by those Chu pawns who pretended to be dead.

At war with the Chu people, no one dared to despise the Chu people.

The Qin people are warlike, the Zhao people are good at riding, the Chu people are martial, and the Chu State is also the favorite place of the heroes of the world, which is not only because of the laws of the Chu State, which are looser than the Qin State and the Zhao State, but also because the countless scholars and families of the Chu State like to keep chivalrous warriors and doormen in captivity.

is also why everyone in the world says, the world's chivalrous, Mo Chu Zhong, the world's doormen, Mo Chu more, the world's heroes, Mo Yu Chu!

Just like those cronies and soldiers around Jing Qi, who were surrounded by Fang Cai, they were very brave, and when they were surrounded, they didn't know how many Qin soldiers they killed, and almost killed all the Qin soldiers and soldiers.

As for their loyalty to Jing Qi, it can be seen from following Jing Qi to kill themselves in the end.

"General!"

"General!!"

A general of the Qin army saw Bai Yan arriving on horseback with a group of Qin army soldiers, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

Bai Yan nodded, looked at the Qin army soldiers around him who were mending their swords, and then looked into the distance, where a general hurriedly took Jing Qi's head.

"General, the head of General Chu Jingqi!"

After the general saluted Bai Yan, he raised Jing Qi's head and looked at Bai Yan.

"Send Jing Qi's corpse, along with Chang Wenjun's head, to Xiang Yan and Chang Wenjun!"

Bai Yan looked at Jing Qi's appearance, recalling the first time he saw Jing Qi in Yanmen, when Jing Qi was still drinking with Zhao Wushang in the mansion in Shanwu City.

For Jing Qi, Bai Yan admired him very much, as Xiong Ying's doorman, Jing Qi personally helped Xiong Yingshu, get rid of Xiong You, the king of Chu, get rid of Li Yuan, the queen mother's family, as the minister of Chu, Jing Qi single-handedly helped his king and regained the lost throne, and as a Chu person, Jing Qi personally led the troops to the battlefield and resisted the Qin army with Chu general Xiang Yan.

In the betrayal of Qin by Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun, Bai Yan didn't know how much Jing Qi had done in it, but as far as Jing Qi was concerned, Jing Qi didn't need to have any regrets in his life.

"It's a pity that as early as when Wu Qi was united by the Chu clan and killed in the Chu State, the Chu State was already doomed to lose!"

Bai Yan thought in his heart, retracted his gaze, rode around on horseback, and looked at Zhang Shu, Yang Yan, and Yan Mao.

"General Zhang Shu, General Yan Mao, General Yang Yan, the three of you, immediately command all the iron cavalry soldiers and attack the Chu army camp before the Chu army reacts!"

Bai Yan ordered at the three of them.

Raided Zhongwu City, the key place of the Qin army, and wanted to make a surprise attack, so as to cut off all the retreats of the Qin army, Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun brought the elite, and at this time, the Chu army camp, most of the Chu soldiers left behind were Chu people and Chu people who had just been recruited a few months ago.

At this time, the iron cavalry, the side cavalry, and the cavalry of other tribes all raided the Chu army's camp, and they would definitely be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop, so as to solve the siege in the north.

"No!"

"No!"

Yang Yan and Yan Mao did not feel strange when they heard Bai Yan's order, as early as when Bai Yan did not let the side cavalry and iron cavalry participate in the siege and killing of the Chu army, the two of them guessed that as long as they won and successfully besieged the Chu army, Bai Yan would definitely raid the Chu army camp.

So at the moment, there are no surprises for either of them.

However, when Zhang Chou heard Bai Yan's order, he was stunned in place, as an old general who had led the troops for decades, how did Zhang Chou not know that it was easy to lead the troops to raid the Chu army camp and make meritorious contributions at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan took a deep breath and looked at Bai Yan.

"No! The last will obey! ”

Zhang Shu raised his hand and said to Bai Yan, his tone full of gratitude.

Zhonggo Castle.

In the cold winter, in the night, except for the faint fire on the head of the city and the torches lit at the castle tower, looking at the city, there is only a little light under the darkness.

"Open the gates!!"

On the city ladder, a general of the Qin army, with two soldiers of the Qin army holding torches, hurriedly walked to the city gate and said to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Under the orders of the generals of the Qin army, the city gate slowly opened.

Immediately, in the dark night, I clearly saw countless Qin soldiers holding torches outside the city, and they entered the city one after another.

Inside the castle of Zhonggo.

Like all restaurants, there is also Zhongli's mansion that never goes out at night.

At this moment, in the main hall, Zhong Lihao, Zhong Lichuan, and other Zhongli clansmen all gathered together, and Zhong Lichuan walked back and forth, his expression full of anxiety.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and when they heard the movement, everyone was distracted, that is, many young children of the Zhongli clan, as well as Zhongli Ji and other women of the scholar clan, whose faces were originally a little sleepy, also cheered up.

Everyone knew that after they helped the Qin State and handed over all the private soldiers in the clan to Bai Yan, their clan had no way out.

If Bai Yan wins, they can continue to enjoy wealth and nobility in Zhongwu City, if Bai Yan is defeated, their clan must leave Zhongwu City immediately, whether it is to go to Qi State, Yan State, or even Qin State, in short, they must not stay.

"Gentleman, gentleman!! A big victory, a big victory for the Qin army, Bai Yan led the Qin army, killed more than 70,000 people of the Chu army, and killed the Chu generals Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun! ”

A servant hurried into the study, panting, and reported to Zhongli Hao and the others.

Hearing this, Zhong Lichuan's eyes widened and he looked at the servant.

"Really?"

Zhong Lichuan's tone trembled a little as he spoke, until he saw the servant nodding seriously again, saying that the Qin army had returned to the city with a great victory, that Zhong Lichuan was completely relieved, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

In the main hall, all the other Zhongli clansmen, regardless of men, women, and children, all looked at each other with joy on their faces, full of excitement.

Victory!

That's great! The Qin army won a great victory!!

This also means that their people can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in Zhongwu City.

"Good, good!"

Zhong Lihao also stood up excitedly, and after glancing at Zhong Lichuan, he turned his head to look at his father.

"I'm going to congratulate Bai Yan immediately!"

Zhong Lihao said to his father, and on the other side, Zhong Lichuan also came back to his senses at this time and nodded hurriedly.

"I'll go too!"

Zhong Lichuan looked at the other elders and said.

At the beginning, Bai Yan helped their branch to seize the Zhongli clan, but they were also stubborn, and they had no choice but to surrender to Bai Yan.

Later, the news of Li Xin's defeat came, followed by Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, who had already led the army of Chu and wanted to besiege Bai Yan and all the Qin troops in Chudong.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yan gave them a big surprise and pulled them out of the ashes.

Xiang Yan and Jing Qi's plan to besiege Bai Yan in eastern Chu not only did not succeed, but Bai Yan used the Qin army to rebel generals, and took advantage of the eagerness of Chu generals Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun to lead troops to ambush the Chu army.

At present, he has successfully killed Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun.

Facing Bai Yan, who won a big victory, and also killed Jing Qi, who had always scared them when they thought of it, how could the two brothers not congratulate them, even if it was late at night.

"Go ahead! Remember to bring more congratulatory gifts to General Bai Yan! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The two of you quickly went to congratulate General Bai Yan, such a big victory, you can tell General Bai that tomorrow, we can hold a banquet for General Bai in the Zhongli Clan's mansion to celebrate his achievements! ”

Whether it was Zhongli Hao's father or the elders of other clans, when they heard Zhong Lihao and Zhong Lichuan's words, they all nodded, it seemed that they were elders, but in fact, if there was something important in the Zhongli clan, it was the two Zhongli Hao brothers who were in charge.

After all, it is the Zhongli Hao brothers who keep running around and have always insisted, and their clan will have this day.

Inside the main hall.

The two Zhongli Hao brothers, after nodding, hurriedly turned around and left, but at this moment, Zhongli Hao suddenly noticed that Zhong Liji's longing eyes had been looking at him, thought about it, and then opened his mouth and asked Zhong Liji to go with him.

Castle Guard.

In the study, Bai Yan yawned under the candlelight, endured sleepiness, took pen and ink, and wrote a message to Xianyang on a bamboo slip.

Not only has King Chu's henchman, Jing Qi, been killed, but even Chang Wenjun, who betrayed Qin, has also cut off his head and sent it to Changping Jun, and Bai Yan naturally sent a letter to Xianyang about this matter.

Jing Qi's army was defeated, and if the state of Chu wanted to encircle the Qin army in eastern Chu, it was no longer possible.

When the winter passes, when the winter snow melts, it is the time when the Chu State falls, and at that time, the crisis here will also disappear.

Pick up the wooden cup next to it and take a sip of tea.

Bai Yan looked at the contents of the bamboo slip, and after confirming that it was correct, he put down the bamboo slip.

"General, outside the mansion, Zhong Lihao and Zhong Lichuan ask to see you!"

A cronie came to the study at this time and reported to Bai Yanyu.

Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard this, after all, among the Qin army that participated in the siege of Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun, there were thousands of people among them, who were Zhong Li's private soldiers, and when the Qin army returned to the city, Zhong Li's clan naturally knew the news.

"Bring it in!"

Bai Yan said softly.

The cronies received the order, turned around and left, and not long after, in the night outside, they arrived with Zhong Lichuan and Zhong Lihao all the way.

"Congratulations to the general on his victory!"

"Congratulations to General Bai !!"

Zhong Lihao and Zhong Lichuan came to the study with a happy face and congratulated Bai Yan.

Bai Yan got up, smiled and returned the salute, and then also noticed the woman behind Zhongli Hao, and with a turn of heart, he guessed why Zhongli Hao brought the woman over.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan was a little helpless, but fortunately, it was not the first time, whether it was in Pingyang, Qin, or Xianyang, or even in Yanmen Shanwucheng, there were many scholars who would bring the women of the clan to him and send him as a wife and concubine.

Among those scholars, there are also some big clans like Zhongli, and some are the daughters of officials and generals who have a relationship with him, such as the violent clan who is more beautiful than the woman in front of him.

Thinking of the tyranny, Bai Yan couldn't help but think of the tyranny in Yanmen.

I don't know if she and her father have seen their own people.

"General, there is no shortage of wind and cold in the middle of the night here, why don't you go to my mansion, I order the maids, and Ji'er, to drive away the cold for the general's hot wine!"

Zhong Li Hao noticed that under the candlelight, a roll of bamboo slips was placed on the wooden table, then looked at Bai Yan, asked softly, and glanced at Zhong Li Ji behind him, Zhong Li Hao's eyes, he had already said it so obviously, it was impossible for Bai Yan not to know the meaning of his words.

"General Yang Yan and others have already led the troops to raid the Chu army camp, and now the news has not yet come, it is a matter of war, Bai Yan does not dare to slack off, and he does not want to disturb others in vain, please forgive me!"

Bai Yan heard Zhong Li Hao's words, and after coming back to his senses, he bowed his hand and politely declined, and then looked at Zhong Li Ji with a lost face and bowed.

Zhong Lihao and Zhong Lichuan glanced at each other with some sighs when they heard Bai Yan's words, but then nodded at Bai Yan.

"Then tomorrow, the two of us will hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the general's victory, I don't know ...... general"

Zhongli Hao looked at Bai Yan again and said, asking Bai Yan tomorrow, but they will all go to the mansion to drink.

"Bai Yan is disrespectful!"

Bai Yan thought about it and did not refuse.

Zhong Lihao and Zhong Lichuan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, although Bai Yan didn't seem to have any idea about Zhong Liji, it was a pity, after all, Zhong Liji was a woman of their Zhongli clan, but it was a pity, it didn't prevent them Zhongli Clan from always being close to Bai Yan, Bai Yan just didn't have any thoughts about Zhong Liji, but it didn't mean that he didn't like women, and finding another beauty for Bai Yan was.

In the Zhongli clan, it is true that you can't find that kind of intoxicating beauty, but as long as you don't consider the Zhongli clan, for the Zhongli clan, which now has countless wealth and land, it is not difficult to find such a beauty.

……………………

Suiyang City.

In a mansion, in the study, Xiang Yan stood up with anger and looked at the wizard with a pale face.

"Before, you personally said that it was poisonous, and it could be solved! Why are so many soldiers still vomiting now? ”

Xiang Yan looked at Xuan Cao with a straight look in his eyes at the moment.

At the beginning, Xiang Yan was worried that there would be problems with the soldiers of the Chu army if they ate those grains, after all, it was a poison that had been soaked after all, if it weren't for the repeated assurances of Xuan Cao later, even if Xiang Yan burned those grains, he would not let the soldiers of the Chu army eat them.

At the moment, after eating the grain, the soldiers have been poisoned for two days, thousands of people vomited, and tens of thousands of people who were tired and uncomfortable.

And the so-called antidote poison in Xuan Cao's mouth, two days have passed, and the effect of the medicine in his words has not been seen at all, and even Xuan Cao himself is now poisoned and difficult to solve.

"The Great General......

The elderly Xuan Cao naturally saw the anger in Xiang Yan's eyes at this moment, but right now, Xuan Cao's whole person was in a daze.

The poison is indeed a poison handed down from his ancestors, not only has he used it several times, but even he has eaten it himself, and then he has personally detoxified it, and now he doesn't understand why the antidote doesn't work after this poisoning.

"No matter what method you use, you must heal those soldiers!"

Xiang Yan closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in her heart.

At this time, Xiang Yan was very skeptical that Bai Yan had done anything to hide the grain, but whether he asked Xuan Cao before, or asked Xuan Cao after the soldiers were poisoned, Xuan Cao shook his head and said that he had not found the slightest other poison.

"General, the grain and grass have been delivered!!"

A soldier of the Chu State hurriedly came to the study and reported to Xiang Yanyu.

Xiang Yan opened his eyes and heard the grain and grass being sent, so he breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good to have grain and millet, although there were tens of thousands of soldiers who had been poisoned unsolved, but at this moment, he still had absolute strength under his command to besiege the Qin army.

Inside Suiyang City.

Accompanied by countless people of Chu wearing cloth clothes, they transported one after another wooden trailers full of grain and millet into the city, and under the care of the Chu soldiers, grain and grass were continuously sent to the city.

At this time, a very delicate carriage, escorted by hundreds of Chu cavalry, also entered the city with grain and grass.

"I said that Lord Win, I will remember to stay in my son's residence with peace of mind! Don't be discovered! ”

Gongzi Xiong Qi felt the slight sway of the carriage and said to Ying Kan on the side.

At this time, Xiong Qi also really admired Ying Kan's courage, and even dared to come alone here in the Chu army camp, no matter whether he could convince some Chu generals or not, for Ying Kan's courage, Gongzi Xiong Qi had to give up his admiration.

"Childe, don't worry, Ying Kan will naturally not mess around without permission, it is a matter of life and death for General Bai Yan of my Qin State, how dare Ying Kan mess around!"

Ying Kan sighed, full of helplessness for Gongzi Xiongqi's unease.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chu army camp was here, the attitude of the general of Chu who led the troops was very important, and Ying Kan would not have ventured to come here, you must know that at this moment, in Suiyang City, there are not only Chu general Xiang Yan, but also Qin State traitor Chang Pingjun, maybe you will also meet Chang Wenjun or Jing Qi.

In such a situation, Ying Kan didn't dare to joke with Bai Yan's life, but considering his own life, he had to be cautious, waiting for Xiong Qi to find an opportunity to privately invite those generals to meet in the mansion.

In Shouchun, Wang Shang was already very anxious, very worried about Bai Yan's safety, he had already sent two letters in a row, and the chips were constantly increasing, and Ying Kan knew that he must not delay any longer.

At this time, the army of the Qin State in eastern Chu had already run out of grain and grass, and in the face of the encirclement of the army of the State of Chu, not to mention the worries of Yingzheng who was far away in Xianyang, even Ying Kan knew that if he delayed for one more day, Bai Yan would be more dangerous.

"It's good not to mess around!"

Xiong Qi nodded when he heard Ying Kan's words, and he could only believe Ying Kan for now.

Stretching out his hand to open the cloth window, Xiong Qi saw that the streets were full of Chu soldiers, and countless Chu soldiers were patrolling with Changge in their hands.

Thinking that Bai Yan led his troops in this city before, resisted the general Xiang Yan and led the 200,000 army of Chu to attack, Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and in the court, his father, who got the news, finally didn't blame him anymore.

Look! It wasn't that he led the troops improperly and was defeated by Bai Yan.

But Bai Yan led the troops too powerful, no wonder he, look at the general Xiang Yan, Li Xin led 200,000 Qin troops, they can all be defeated, all of them can be killed, the result is that here in Bai Yan, in the face of a Suiyang City, it is impossible to capture, you must know that the Qin army led by Bai Yan in the city is still composed of Wei people, and in the past, Bai Yan led the troops to attack him, but they were all the elite of the Qin army, either iron cavalry, or side cavalry, which one was not the elite of the Qin State that was famous in the past.

Half an hour later,

Just as Xiong Qi arrived at the city guard's mansion, just as the army of Chu was continuously transporting grain and grass to the city, just ten miles outside Suiyang City, several Chu army scouts found that on the official road in the distance, several Qin soldiers rode war horses and drove a wooden trailer, hurriedly drove over, and when they saw them, Qin soldiers stopped and turned their heads and left directly.

At first, several Chu army scouts were shocked when they saw Qin Pawn, but when they saw Qin Pawn leave, they looked puzzled.

Not knowing the purpose of the Qin soldiers, several Chu army scouts thought about it, or rode forward, when they saw a coffin on the wooden trailer abandoned by Qin soldiers, the Chu army scouts were full of doubts.

Qin Zu: Why is this?

Just in the midst of doubt, suddenly a Chu army scout rode to the back of the wooden trailer and suddenly saw a bloody head with a pale face.

"Who is this? Go and report to the general! ”

The Chu army scouts didn't know the owner of the head, but the scene in front of them had already made the Chu army scouts realize that something was wrong, since it was sent by Qin soldiers, it must not be an ordinary person, and then hurriedly asked a scout to go back and report to the general.

After watching a scout soldier next to him turn around and leave, the scout who spoke boldly turned over and dismounted, climbed onto the wooden trailer, thought about it, glanced at the other scouts, and saw the other scout soldiers draw their swords in understanding, then they looked at the coffin with a solemn face, bent down, and stretched out his hand to slowly push the coffin away.

When a corpse was in the coffin, a corpse came into the eyes of the Chu army scout, and the next moment, the Chu army scout suddenly widened his eyes, looked frightened, and kept retreating with a pale face, and then the whole person fell off the wooden trailer.

"Hurry up and report to the general, General Jing Qi, he was killed!"

Under the frowning and puzzled gazes of the other Chu army scouts, the Chu soldiers who fell to the ground did not care about the pain, and shouted loudly with horror on their faces.
