The Yingshui camp of the Qin army, with a three-zhang high dào, is set up outside the main general's tent, representing the identity and majesty of the main general Li Xin.

However, in the tent, the first sentence of Meng Wu's announcement was: "Li Xin is defeated." ”

The generals already knew the result, and there was silence in the tent, and everyone's faces were covered with a layer of gloom.

Whether it is a person who agrees with Li Xin's surprise attack strategy, or a general who has always been not optimistic about this strategy, by now, everyone knows that things are not good.

Li Xin's 30,000 chariots and cavalry were almost wiped out by the Chu army, and only a few thousand people fled in a hurry, how sad it was. Correspondingly, it also means that the battle of Qin to attack Chu has failed, at least it is impossible for them to complete the strategic goal of destroying Chu.

Not only will they be unable to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, but they will also be looked down upon by countless Qin people after returning to Xianyang. This battle of Chu not only has the high hopes of the king, but also the desire of countless Qin people.

No one will be reconciled, in addition to spitting on Li Xin's rashness and recklessness in his heart, the generals are also thinking of a remedy.

Meng Wu said at this time: "I want to lead the army to retreat to Huaiyang and give up the capture of Xiangcheng. ”

Hearing this, the generals were in an uproar, even more excited than hearing the news of Li Xin's defeat.

General Yang Yuan stood up first, and said with an excited expression: "General Meng, this matter must not be done!" ”

"Although General Li was defeated, there was still a turning point in the war against Chu. After the fierce attack of our army for several days, the north wall of Xiangcheng is now about to collapse, and the Chu army in the city has countless casualties. Our army has been attacking the city for days, although there are losses, but there are still more than 60,000 soldiers who can fight here, and at most a few days of fierce attack, our army can capture Xiangcheng! ”

"If our army can capture Xiangcheng, it will be able to open the way to the south, and maybe it can defeat the Chu army that intercepted and killed General Li, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the cities of Huaibei. In that way, even if we are unable to destroy the Chu State, we will at least be able to lay down many cities, which will be enough to explain to the king. ”

Another general, Han Zhong, also agreed: "Yes, General Meng, if we withdraw our troops at this time, our army's previous achievements will be wasted." And if General Li is defeated, he will definitely come from the north of the sleeping hill, and if he wants to join our army in Xiangcheng, if the general withdraws at this time, the defenders of Xiangcheng will go out of the city, and will definitely block General Li's escape to life, then General Li will fall to death, and this matter is absolutely not feasible. ”

"yes, yes......"

The other generals followed suit.

Meng Wu glanced at everyone coldly.

He knows very well what these people are thinking.

All they say is an excuse.

It's nothing more than seeing that Xiangcheng is about to be breached, and the credit is about to be received, and no one is willing to throw it away.

Li Xin's defeat must be a great sin.

Although they did not participate in Li Xin's surprise attack and would not take much responsibility, they have been stopped under Xiang Cheng and have no success, who can be willing to go back like this?

At this time, as long as you storm for a few more days, you can take Xiangcheng and cut off the heads of tens of thousands of Chu people in the city, which is a military feat!

Such a big victory, compared with Li Xin's defeat, wouldn't it highlight their merits even more, even if this time the destruction of Chu failed, they could return to the Qin State with their heads held high, without worrying about being punished.

To tell the truth, Meng Wu was also very moved, taking Xiangcheng and destroying the tens of thousands of Chu troops in the city would not only make them meritorious, but also eliminate the living forces of the Chu State, so that the next time the Qin State invaded Chu, it would gain a greater advantage.

It's just that......

Meng Wu remembered the letter written by Li Xin last night, which was written on silk and delivered by Li Xin's personal guards day and night, and was burned after Meng Wu read it.

The content of the letter is very important and very surprising.

Li Xin said in the letter that the reason why his raid on Shouchun failed this time was because someone within the Qin army leaked his plan, so that the route of Li Xin's surprise attack was known to the Chu army, so Xiang Yan was able to gather the soldiers in the east of the Chu State in advance and intercept it in the area of Xia Cai in Juyang, and finally caused the Qin army to suffer a major defeat.

In Meng Wu's view, Li Xin's words were inevitably suspected of shirking responsibility, but if he thought about it carefully, it also made Meng Wu quite frightened.

Xiang Yan's Daxu is obviously still in Xiang Cheng, but he ran to the area of Xia Cai in Juyang, hundreds of miles away, and it happened to be the only way for Li Xin to sneak attack Shouchun, how to explain this coincidence?

The Chu army recruited in the eastern part of the Chu State was supposed to come to Xiangcheng to support, but it turned out that all of them went south to intercept Li Xin, how did the Chu people know and deploy troops in advance?

Everything proves that Xiang Yan has an intelligence source, so that he knows the route of Li Xin's surprise attack this time, so that he can make corresponding arrangements.

There are inner ghosts!

But Meng Wu didn't dare to talk nonsense, because the identity of that person was too important, and in the absence of evidence, it was not something that he and Li Xin could slander and accuse at will.

Qin law, the false accuser is guilty of his crime.

Therefore, Meng Wu is also very entangled at the moment, the generals are unwilling to withdraw the army, if they are forcibly withdrawn, I am afraid that the army will be unstable. But if you continue to besiege Xiangcheng, if the person in Huaiyang City is really an inner ghost, there will be a big disaster, and these words make Meng Wuzhi feel like a man on his back, and it is difficult to sit still.

At this time, the generals were still persuading Meng Wu, hoping that he could continue to attack Xiangcheng.

Meng Wu took a deep breath and finally thought of a method.

"That being the case, the army continues to capture Xiangcheng, and in five days, this city must be taken!"

In addition, General Li's defeat this time, the news spread to the rear, I am afraid that it will cause the Chu people to feel uneasy. Yang Yuan, you transfer a group of soldiers to retreat to Huaiyang to sit in the town, implement military management, and prevent the local Chu people from moving! ”

……

Xiangcheng.

Zhou Wen looked out of the broken female wall, and saw that the Qin camp was brightly lit in the distance, and countless figures were rushing out with torches, rushing towards Xiangcheng, and at the same time, war drums sounded.

"The Qin army is going to attack at night again?"

Zhou Wen gasped, you must know that in general, when two armies fight, unless necessary, they will try their best to avoid night battles.

Especially in siege warfare, it is easy to affect the soldiers who climb the city without daylight, and many people fall directly before they climb the wall, and the casualties of the attacker will be very large. Unless they wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards to carry out a sneak attack, few generals would choose to attack the city at night.

The Qin army had attacked the city several times before, although the Chu army in the city was tired to deal with, but the Qin army itself suffered heavy casualties, and within a few days gave up the night battle and only attacked the city during the day.

Why did you launch a night attack again today, is the commander of the Qin army crazy?

Zhou Wen hurriedly retreated from the city wall and rushed to the city's tent to report.

At the same time, the tired Chu soldiers in the city also received military orders and went to the city wall to defend against the enemy.

In Xiangcheng, when he heard Zhou Wen's report, Xiang Qu, the chief general of the Chu army sitting here, was not only not in a hurry, but laughed and said: "The Qin army wants to attack Xiangcheng at night, hahaha, it seems that they are in a hurry!" ”

"They're in a hurry!"

Smiling, Xiang Qu's face turned red with excitement.

He whispered, "It's a signal." Calculating the time, my father should also defeat Li Xin, and he is about to arrive, and at that time, it will be my chance to fight back. ”

Xiang Qu stood up and ordered: "Let the 10,000 elites in the city who have not been on the city wall to fight ready, these days, it is time to use them!" ”

……

Huaiyang, the former Chu State Chen Ying.

"Childe Kai."

Xiong Qi held a silk book in his hand and muttered the title.

Changping Jun of the Qin State.

The son of the State of Chu, Qi.

These are his two identities.

In the first half of Xiong Qi's life, he lived in the Qin State as Changping Jun.

Together with Chang Wenjun, he pacified the rebellion of the Qin Dynasty and fought against Lü Buwei's party, and then he worked diligently for nearly ten years as the prime minister of the Qin State.

However, when he got to the back, he found that his heart had changed.

The king of Qin wanted to annex the world, and the state of Chu was a country that he was bound to perish.

The country that Xiong Qi's father and ancestors once ruled, the ancient country that has the blood of Zhurong and has been inherited for 800 years, is about to perish in the hands of the Qin people, and it will also perish in the hands of his Xiong Qi.

Whenever he thought about it, Xiong Qi felt his heart hurt.

Although he was abandoned by his father in the Qin Kingdom, his body still flowed with the blood of the Xiong family.

Could it be that he Xiong Qi really wants to destroy his ancestor Sheji with his own hands?

Clan brother Chang Wenjun told him that Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and Qin destroying Chu is the general trend, and they can't stop it, so it's better to focus on a more long-term place.

Fusu!

The child born to this Chu girl has the same blood as them in his body, and he is also a true descendant of Zhurong.

They only need to influence Fusu, so that Fusu likes the culture of Chu, likes the clothes of Chu, and likes everything in Chu......

What about Qin and Chu, as long as the two of them can help Fusu ascend to the throne.

At that time, the Qin Wangzheng was dead, and Fusu succeeded to the throne, so the rulers of the world are still the descendants of the ancestor Zhurong, and they are Chu people!

Fusu will promote the culture of Chu throughout the world, so that everyone in the world will wear Chu clothes, speak Chu language, worship the phoenix of Chu, worship the ancestor of Zhurong, and worship the god of Taiyi.

The state of Chu is dead.

But the whole world will become the new Chu State.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to change the world in such a way?

Xiong Qi was persuaded by Chang Wenjun, and the two tried their best to influence Fusu, and with their efforts, Fusu, who was neglected because Qin Wangzheng was busy with political affairs, really developed in the direction they expected.

Fusu said Chu Yin, wore Chu clothes, was good at Confucianism, loved to read silk paintings from Chu, and even liked to eat citrus from Chu, and often had compassion in his heart, which was completely different from his father Qin Wangzheng.

said to be Qin people, but in fact, they are more like Chu people.

Just when Chang Wenjun was complacent, thinking that their plan was going to succeed.

Xiong Qi found that Qin Wangzheng had seen through everything.

"It's useless, the more we make Fusu look like a Chu person, the less the king will let him take over the Qin State."

Xiong Qi muttered to himself, he knew Qin Wangzheng, and Chang Wenjun's plan was doomed to failure.

Like Fusu, who is very much like the Chu people, if he can't inherit the throne, then the Chu State has died in the past eight hundred years, but it is really dead.

From that moment on, in Xiong Qi's heart, there was a new idea.

"I don't want the state of Chu to die."

Xiong Qi stood up from the couch, his eyes becoming very determined.

"I am Xiong Qi, a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, and a real prince of Chu!"

"How can I let my homeland perish!"

A sound of footsteps approached quickly.

Xiong Qi's cronies hurriedly walked in and reported: "Junhou, there is news in the army, General Mengwu will send a group of soldiers to take over Huaiyang, saying that he is afraid that the news of General Li Xin's defeat will cause unease among the Chu people here, and the special army will guard it. ”

Xiong Qi was stunned.

He served as prime minister for ten years, and stayed in the land of Huaiyang for another year, and he had already laid eyeliner cronies everywhere, so before the soldiers sent by Mengwu arrived, he had already received the news first.

"Did you notice something?"

"Or maybe Meng Wu is too steady, so he will arrange it like this."

Xiong Qi's eyes narrowed.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "No matter what the reason, you can't let those five thousand people enter the city, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things." I can only start the incident in advance, but it is only two days away from the time agreed by Xiang Yan, and I think he will be able to arrive in time, and the impact is not great. ”

Saying that, Xiong Qi left the lodging and said to his cronies: "Let's go, follow me to wake up the Chu people in this city." Let this Huaiyang become the capital of Chen Ying of my Chu State again. ”

"Only, Marquis."

Cronies promised.

Xiong Qi stopped and glanced at the cronie coldly.

"Don't call me a prince again."

"Call me Childe."

"I, the prince of Chu State, Qi is also!"
