In the city guard mansion of Suiyang City, with the grain and grass transported from the rear, Xiang Yan, Changping Jun, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Lu Qing and other people all gathered in the study and looked at the detailed map of Chudong.

Gongzi Xiong Qi is also smiling on the side at the moment, participating in some decisions from time to time and giving some insights.

However, at this moment, half of the generals of Chu in the study, looking at Xiong Qi, in their eyes, were actually quite dissatisfied, if it weren't for Xiong Qi's loss of the land of eastern Chu south of the water, they followed General Xiang Yu, after killing the 200,000 Qin army, they would have returned to the dynasty and celebrated with the whole country.

How could he be here now, facing the army of the Qin State in eastern Chu, and find a way to defeat the Qin general Bai Yan.

It's a cold day.

In Shouchun or in their respective families, enjoying the service of wives and concubines and beauties, is it more comfortable than in Suiyang City?

"General, now that the grain and grass have been delivered, presumably the general will be able to lead the army of my Chu State, break through the defense of the Qin army, and capture the Qin general Bai Yan alive!"

Xiong Qi smiled and flattered Xiang Yan.

In the government and opposition of the Chu State, in addition to the old guys of the clan, Xiong Qi is most afraid of Jing Qi, as well as the general Xiang Yan, and even other hot-tempered old ministers of the Chu State, Xiong Qi is not so afraid.

Although he had made up his mind right now that he wanted Bai Yan to leave alive no matter what, Xiong Qi was not stupid, and he would not say these words in front of Xiang Yan if he was killed.

"Bai Yan has led the army for many years, he is well versed in the way of deploying troops, after understanding the purpose of my Chu State, he has already laid heavy troops, under the cold winter, if he wants to break through the defense of the Qin army, the price of Chu State is not small!"

Xiang Yan's face was a little tired, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction with Xiong Qi on his face, and Xiang Yan didn't get too angry about Xiong Qi's defeat at the beginning.

Xiong Yingshu is Xiang Yan who single-handedly helped the king of Chu, but at the same time, Xiang Yan is also the general of Chu and a minister of Chu.

In Xiang Yan's eyes, no matter how much the son Xiong Qi is, he is also the son of Xiong Yingshu, if he doesn't take Xiong Qi in his eyes, if he is too accusatory, even if the King of Chu is good-minded, there will be gossip in Chu, and there is no shortage of people who will say that he Xiang Yan does not take the King of Chu in his eyes, after all, even the King of Chu is because of Xiang Yan's secret help, so that he can succeed to the King of Chu.

Some people say that it is fine, but when hundreds or thousands of people say it, it is different, and sooner or later they will have a reaction.

"Yes! Ben Gongzi had also learned how powerful Bai Yan was, that Bai Yan! Although he is stupid and loyal to the tyrannical Qin, there is really nothing to say about the ability to lead the troops! ”

Xiong Qi heard Xiang Yan's words, smiled and sighed, and then looked at the other Chu generals.

In this sentence, Xiong Qi is also shirking, he was defeated before, that is also Bai Yan is too powerful, you see that General Xiang Yan, in the case of being twice as many as Bai Yan's soldiers and horses, said that if he wants to defeat Bai Yan, the Chu army will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

At the beginning, he only had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses were not even as many as the Qin army under Bai Yan.

"If the general needs soldiers and horses, Xiong Qi immediately returns to Shouchun and asks his father for orders to recruit an army for the general and help the general get rid of Bai Yan! Reclaim the lost ground! ”

Xiong Qi turned his head to look at Xiang Yan, and his words were generous and powerful, as if as long as Xiang Yan said anything, Xiong Qi would obey his orders.

"If that's the case, then please ask Gongzi to return to Shouchun and recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses for the general!"

Fan Zeng, who has never liked to talk much, suddenly looked at the map and said after Xiong Qi's words fell, and in Xiong Qi's stunned expression, Fan Zeng turned his head to look at Xiong Qi and suddenly arched his hand.

"If Gongzi can be a general and recruit 100,000 Chu troops, whether it is to destroy the army of the Qin State or kill the Qin general Bai Yan, Gongzi will be the first to make the first contribution!"

Fan Zeng looked at Xiong Qi.

Xiang Liang heard Fan Zeng's words, his brows furrowed slightly, full of dislike, and turned to look at Xiong Qi, in Xiang Liang's eyes, Xiong Qi and the bear heart are both the same dog, not much skill, but there are a lot of thoughts, extremely selfish.

If it weren't for Xiong Qi's loss of Chudong, some time ago, here in Suiyang City, how could so many people have died, not to mention that more than half of the Huang's soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, that is, the Xiang's soldiers and horses, together with the elite of the Xiang family, were seriously damaged.

However, seeing his father's words to Fan Zeng, he didn't say much, but looked at Xiong Qi, and Xiang Liang endured it.

"Ahh Good! When my son returns to Shouchun, he will definitely recruit an army for the general! ”

Xiong Qi came back to his senses, looked at Xiang Yan's gaze on the side, and hurriedly smiled and agreed.

If Fang Cai had heard these words, Xiong Qi might have really considered whether to kill Bai Yan, after all, if he has merit, he can also repay Bai Yan's past revenge, killing two birds with one stone, but now, after seeing Ying Kan, he learned about the conditions of Qin State's request for peace, as well as the cities that were privately gifted, compared to Fan Zeng's words, which one is good for himself, Xiong Qi can think of it with his eyes closed.

Recruiting 100,000 troops for Xiang Yan and waiting for Bai Yan to be defeated, it is indeed a great achievement, but it is not the first achievement, Xiong Qi is not stupid! And if he agrees to the peace talks of the Qin State, he Xiong Qi will definitely be the first merit, and the fief he gets and the benefits he receives secretly are all real benefits, not only let Xiong Qi make friends with more scholars, so as to get the support of more scholars, but also make up for the loss and reputation of this time, and more importantly, he is the only one who has the most conspicuous credit, not Xiang Yan, Jing Qi, and those Chu generals who don't like him.

Inside the study.

Just when all the generals and scholars of the Chu State saw Xiong Qi agreeing to come down, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the study, and then everyone saw that a general of the Chu State ran into the study with a pale face and a panicked face.

Xiang Yan, Chang Pingjun, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng and others all turned their heads curiously.

Everyone looked at the general's appearance, and they didn't understand what was going on, why the general came in such a panic.

"Oh no, General......"

I saw the general of the Chu army kneeling on the ground tremblingly, his eyes were red and full of fear as he spoke, and then he looked at Changping Jun.

This scene.

It made everyone frown, what happened to make this general so.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Xiong Qi looked at the general of the Chu army with his mouth open, trembling, and he wanted to say it without saying it, and urged impatiently, Fang Cai was already polite, but he didn't think that Fan Zeng was more serious, and now he had promised to summon 100,000 troops for Xiang Yan, thinking about Xiong Qi was upset, and like Ying Kan, Xiong Qi didn't want Bai Yan to die in the hands of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi.

Otherwise, he will be completely reduced to a joke, not only will he get nothing, but his reputation will be ruined, as long as the world mentions this clear battle, they will say that it all depends on Xiang Yan, Jing Qi, Chang Wenjun, Chang Pingjun and others, and the only defeat of Chu is because of his Xiong Qi.

"Say it quickly! What a effort! ”

Seeing the general's frightened face, looking at Xiang Yan, who didn't dare to speak, Xiong Qi was completely impatient and urged again.

This scene.

Xiang Yan, Changping Jun, Xiang Liang, and many Chu generals frowned, but because it was Xiong Qi, everyone didn't dare to refute and reprimand, and right now, the general's actions really made people curious, what happened to make this Chu army general so.

"What?"

Xiang Yan also looked at the general at this time, and after giving a look of not worrying, he said softly.

The general of the Chu army looked at Xiang Yan's eyes and calmed down, but his face was still extremely pale, and then he looked at Xiang Yan and told the matter.

"General, Qin Jun, sent General Jing Qi's corpse, as well as Chang Wenjun's ...... Head! ”

The general of the Chu army reported, and in the end, he glanced at Changpingjun with a worried face.

Quiet!

In the study room for a moment, it was extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes widened, looking at the general of the Chu army with a shocked expression, and their eyes were full of fear.

The first reaction in everyone's mind was that it couldn't be, it couldn't be!!

However, looking at the appearance of the generals of the Chu army.

A thought came to mind involuntarily.

"Jing Qi!"

Xiang Yan took the lead in looking outside the study, and on her old cheeks, she was no longer calm and calm, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the study.

And Changping Jun's face changed suddenly after hearing the general's words, and he was bloodless at the moment, and left with the general Xiang Yan.

Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng and the others were also distracted, caught off guard by the news, and after coming back to their senses, after watching Xiang Yan and Jing Qi leave, they came to their senses and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the study.

Only Xiong Qi remained in place, and Xiong Qi was also a little stunned at this moment.

No!

Qin Jun sent ...... Jing Qi's corpse, and, Chang Wenjun's head?

This, how is this possible!!

Xiong Qi showed a ridiculous expression, but looking at the generals of the Chu army who were rolling and crawling and walking outside, not to mention others, even Xiong Qi knew that it was impossible for the generals to lie to their faces about this matter.

And the generals all said in person that the Qin army had sent Jing Qi's corpse and Chang Wenjun's head.

Inside Suiyang City.

Behind the gate of Suiyang City, the towering city walls around were full of Chu flags, and countless Chu soldiers and soldiers standing guard, as well as some Chu soldiers holding Changge, all gathered together at this moment, looking at the wooden trailer with a coffin tied to the many Chu army generals not far away.

"I heard that inside the coffin is our Chu State General Jing Qi!"

"How is that possible? General Jing Qi is leading his troops to the north, don't let rumors spread it, be careful of being heard! ”

"Really, I heard them say that, and if you look at the head behind the carriage, do you know who that man is? Chang Wenjun!! ”

"Ah!!h

More and more Chu soldiers gathered together, far away in the crowd, watching this scene.

In the bustling voice, the discussion of the Chu soldiers could be heard everywhere, after all, when the Qin army sent it, it was not sent by the envoys, but the Chu army scouts found out, which naturally could not hide the news.

And when they learned that the coffin was the general of Chu Jing Qi, all the Chu soldiers were a little stunned and couldn't believe it, after all, in the eyes of all the Chu soldiers, General Jing Qi was rightfully leading the Chu army to surround the Qin army in the north, and General Jing Qi commanded more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and was constantly supplying soldiers, and it was rumored that there were almost 200,000 soldiers and horses.

With this amount of army, the Qin army is already good if it is not surrounded and trapped, how can it be defeated.

In particular, the Qin army was still here in Suiyang City some time ago, and the Chu army defending them here, they all saw with their own eyes that the Qin army fought hard to defend it, and their Chu army attacked the city, killing and wounding no less than 30,000 or 40,000 people.

General Jing Qi in the north, how could he be killed, and there is also a Chang Wenjun.

Who Chang Wenjun is, they may not be very familiar with it once, and it is possible to forget, but before in the vicinity of the city father on the west side of Chu, they were fortunate to have the help of Chang Pingjun, the prime minister of Qin, and Chang Wenjun, the general of Qin, and with the help of these two betrayed Qin, they Chu people only defeated the Qin army of 200,000.

Right now, how could they not know who Chang Wenjun was.

"It seems to be really Chang Wenjun, I happened to meet it once in the camp of the city father before, and at that time I was still curious about who it was, and asked the general afterwards ......"

Among the Chu army, there were many old soldiers, who looked at the head on the wooden trailer from a distance, and immediately recognized the head, which was that he had seen Chang Wenjun in the Chu army camp before.

This time.

Countless Chu soldiers and soldiers shouted one after another, looking at each other in surprise.

Looking at the wooden trailer in the distance, looking at the lonely head on the wooden trailer, all the Chu soldiers and soldiers thought of the Qin army in Chu Dong, and then they couldn't help but feel a deep panic and fear in their hearts.

First captured Suiyang City, successively lost, not only could not be attacked for a long time, and even suffered countless casualties, and then there was a shortage of food and grass, and in this city for a few days, many soldiers were sick......

Right now, looking at the main general of the Chu State army in the north, General Jing Qi, and Chang Wenjun, both of them were killed by the Qin people, and even the corpses and heads were in front of them.

A panic couldn't help but appear in the hearts of every Chu sergeant.

Unlike before, besieging and killing the 200,000 Qin troops in the west, at this time, for the Qin army on the east side of Chu, all the Chu soldiers and soldiers were already wondering, could they really defeat that Qin army? Defeated Bai Yan, the Qin general who was rumored to be in the thick of the past few years.

"The Great General is here!"

"General!"

"General!!

On the street, with the sound of dozens of horses' hooves, the generals of the Chu army next to the carriage saw the arrival of the general Xiang Yan and a group of Chu generals, and they all got out of the way.

Looking at Xiang Yan, the general who hurriedly turned over and dismounted, all the generals of the Chu army fell silent, and many generals glanced at each other, with a strong worry in their eyes.

Next to the wooden trailer.

As the soldiers of Chu carried the coffin off the wooden trailer, Xiang Yan walked to the coffin and looked at Jing Qi's head and corpse inside the coffin, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Jing Qi, who frightened countless people and countless scholars in the past, died like this?

Died at the hands of Bai Yan?

How is this possible! This is Jing Qi!!

"Brother !!"

Changping Jun was dressed in a silk dress in Chu, trembling forward, kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling close to the head on the wooden trailer, looking at his former loved ones, now there is only one head in front of his eyes.

Changping Jun, a person who has been in the court of the Qin State for decades, his eyes full of tears at this moment are full of pain.

"Ah!!!h

The moment Changping Jun's hands touched his head, it was sure that it was not an illusion, and the bloody fact at this moment made Changping Jun sad and angry, looking up to the sky and shouting in pain.

All the generals of the Chu army around, and countless Chu soldiers and soldiers in the distance, all saw this scene.

Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang and others also came to the coffin at this time, when they saw the corpse of Jing Qi in the coffin, and then looked at the head in front of Changping Jun, it was really Chang Wenjun.

At this moment, Xiang Liang and the others, all their faces changed greatly, and the determined and vigorous appearance of the past no longer exists.

Fan Zeng frowned even more worriedly, and his eyes were extremely worried.

Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun were killed, which means that where in the north, I am afraid that the situation is not good.

"It's really dead!"

Xiong Qi walked over, and when he saw Jing Qi's corpse and Chang Wenjun's head, he was also distracted, and Xiong Qi's whole person was extremely messy at this time.

Xiong Qi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Xiong Qi didn't want Bai Yan to die in Chudong before, but it didn't mean that Xiong Qi didn't hold a grudge against Bai Yan and didn't want to take revenge, but this time he helped Bai Yan in consideration of his reputation and interests, but from beginning to end, Xiong Qi was worried about Bai Yan's death and didn't think about it at all......

Faced with the encirclement of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, Bai Yan not only did not die, but also killed Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun together, and even specially sent the corpse and head!

This......

How does this look like there is no need for Ying Zheng to sue for peace at all, Bai Yan this guy, leading his own troops, has broken through the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops in Chu State.

"This Bai Yan is inevitably too violent!"

Xiong Qi frowned, looking distracted, and sighed with shock in his heart.

"General, this is a Qin person, tied to Changwenjun...... The bamboo slips on top! ”

A general came over at this time and handed over a bamboo slip that was originally tied to Chang Wenjun's hair to Xiang Yan, and when he spoke, he looked at Changping Jun on the side, and the general was also afraid of stimulating Changping Jun at this time.

After all, not only did he send his head, but he also tied a bamboo slip with Chang Wenjun's hair, which is unacceptable to anyone.

…………………

Inside the mansion.

Ying Kan was kneeling in the gazebo, feeling the cold wind blowing.

Although the biting coldness filled his body, before Xiong Qi came back, Ying Kan did not plan to return to the study, it was a matter of Bai Yan's survival and the lives of more than 100,000 Qin soldiers in Chu Dong.

No matter how cold it is, Ying Kan doesn't dare to leave easily.

Xiong Qi had persuaded many scholars in Shouchun before, and many scholars had already hesitated, now it depends on whether he can persuade half of the Chu generals here, so as to influence Xiang Yan, thinking of this, Ying Kan is also a little nervous in his heart.

"I hope Yao Jia can come as soon as possible!"

Ying Kan was not only worried that he would fail to lobby the Chu State and lose the king's life, and be ashamed of Bai Yan, but also worried that the Chu people had been dragging it out until the Qin army was cut off from food and grass, resulting in countless casualties.

Therefore, Ying Kan is also looking forward to Yao Jia being able to receive Yingzheng's letter as soon as possible and come to Chu as soon as possible.

Although the king attaches great importance to the mysterious bull riding old man of the Qi country, but now that Bai Yan's fate is on the verge of death, the king did not hesitate to order someone to send a letter to the Qi country, so that Yao Jia put aside the investigation of the bull riding old man, secretly infiltrated the Chu country, and used his former connections and connections to help him rescue Bai Yan.

"Count the hours, Xiong Qi should be back soon!"

Ying Kan turned his head, looked at the corridor in the direction of the gate in the distance, thought in his heart, and then sighed helplessly.
