"What sound?"

Huan Zhao suddenly woke up from his sleep, sat up from the couch, stretched out his ears, and could faintly hear one cry after another from outside the house, as if someone was cheering.

"Could it be that Mengwu captured Xiangcheng and the news came?" Huan Zhao muttered to himself.

Ever since he had a heart attack and was left in Huaiyang to recuperate, he has been unable to sleep every day. At the beginning, as long as he thought that he Huan Zhao had missed the opportunity to destroy the Chu State and make great achievements, he trembled with anger.

"It's all Zhao Tuo! If it weren't for Zhao Tuo, I would have been able to cause heart disease and fall to such a point! ”

What made Huan Zhao most annoyed was that when he was sitting in Huaiyang City to recuperate, Zhao Tuo was making meritorious service on the battlefield, judging from the speed of that kid's meritorious service, I am afraid that after the battle of Chu is fought this time, he will be able to rise one more rank and run to his head.

It's worth it!

The more Huan Zhao thought about it, the more angry he became, making his heart beat violently again after recuperation, he knew that this was a sign that heart disease was about to attack again, but Huan Zhao couldn't help it, as long as he thought of those annoying things, he couldn't eat or sleep well.

It was not until a few days ago that the news of Li Xin's defeat in Huaibei came.

When he first heard the news, Huan Zhao was shocked.

Li Xin was defeated?

And it is said that the whole army was annihilated, 30,000 people died countless deaths, and Li Xin himself was chased and killed by the Chu army all the way, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"It's a pity for General Li, why did you lose."

Huan Zhao was heartbroken and felt sorry for Li Xin's defeat.

But in fact, in his heart, there was an inexplicable hint of joy.

"If I, Huan Zhao, am in the army, I will definitely be able to assist General Li in the battlefield, and An can make the Chu army reckless, and there will be such a big defeat?"

"General Li didn't let Xiangcheng fight, why did he come up with a surprise attack on Shouchun to overthrow the army, hmph, I think it must have been because he listened to some vertical slander, so he made such an unwise move, and the vertical son harms people!"

Huan Zhao complained to the attendant while secretly rejoicing in his heart.

He was really a blessing in disguise this time, but he didn't expect that this illness would allow him to avoid a big defeat, not only did he not have to suffer the danger of being overthrown on the battlefield, but he also did not have to bear any responsibility for the defeat.

On the contrary, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo, even if they can come back alive from the pursuit of the Chu army, they will have their reputation ruined and they will be treated as punishment for their crimes.

"Then Zhao Tuo had better be captured by the Chu people and become a prisoner, even if he can be rescued in the future, he will not be able to hold his head up in front of me for the rest of his life! Hahaha, this is the only way to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Huan Zhao was happy from his heart, and in the next few days, he could eat more bowls of food, and he could sleep soundly, but the impact of a serious illness was still very great, making him a little sleepy during the day.

Now he had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the cries outside, and he couldn't help shouting outside, "Someone! What's going on out there? ”

No one responded to Huan Zhao's call, but he soon heard a burst of exclamations and fighting sounds.

Then the door was violently pushed open.

The one who came in was the Chu girl who was in charge of waiting for Huan Zhao, Fang Fang.

A local Chu woman in Huaiyang, Huan Zhao saw that she looked a little good, and she had the intention of being lucky after she recovered from her illness, so she asked her to wait for her own food, but this fang was not very clever, and Huan Zhao often scolded and scolded her.

Now it is no exception, Huan Zhao reprimanded: "Didn't you let you be light when you entered the door? There are really no rules, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy......"

Huan Zhao couldn't go on, because he saw the scene outside through the door that he opened.

In the courtyard outside the house, there was blood flowing, corpses lying everywhere, and people were crowded.

Fang looked at him with a cold face, how could he still tremble when he was scolded like he did on weekdays, kowtowing and confessing.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the courtyard rushed into the house, and it was a Chu person with a face full of excitement and anger.

"He is the military commander of the Qin State."

Fang glanced at Huan Zhao resentfully.

"What's going on? Are you Chu people going to rebel? No, how dare you...... Woo......""

Huan Zhao shouted, and then he was pounced on by more than a dozen strong men from Chu.

……

"Today, this city is no longer the Huaiyang of the Qin State, but the Chen Ying of my Chu State."

Gongzi Qi stood at the head of Chen Yingcheng, the red flag fluttering in the wind on his side, as if the Zhurong blood in his body was burning.

In Chen Yingcheng behind him, countless Chu people cheered and roared, and they pulled the Qin guards who were full of fear to the open space in the city, and cut off their heads with big axes, and every time they cut off the head of a Qin person, a burst of cheers broke out in the city.

Tens of thousands of Chu people shouted Wan Sheng in the bloody water, and their voices echoed like a horn that shook the sky, announcing that the city had officially broken away from the tyrannical rule of the Qin people and returned to the embrace of the free Chu state.

There were originally 3,000 heavily armed Qin guards in Huaiyang City, which was originally enough to suppress the rebellion of the Chu people in the city. But before that, they had received an order from Changping Jun, who was sitting here, to make this Qin army hand over their weapons under the pretext of inspecting their armaments.

The Qin generals who guarded this place were very puzzled, but the military law stipulated that the orders of the superiors must be carried out, and those who violated the orders were punished.

Changping Jun was responsible for all the dispatch of Huaiyang, and this Qin army was also under his jurisdiction.

Therefore, the three thousand Qin troops all disarmed and abandoned their troops, and then they were captured and killed by the swarming Chu people, and turned into three thousand heads stained with blood.

In addition, there are still thousands of unarmed Qin people in the city, and they naturally followed Huangquan Road at this moment.

Except for a very small number of Qin generals with higher titles who were not killed and used as prisoners, there were no Qin people in Chen Yingcheng, and the red banner could flutter openly in the city.

"Childe, why don't we trick those 5,000 Qin troops into the city together, and use Childe's order to let them lay down their weapons first, and then we can attack and kill them all like those 3,000 Qin people."

On Gongziqi's side, his confidant Chen Bai was full of doubts.

Because at this moment, outside Chen Ying's city, a Qin army of 5,000 people was looking at the closed city gate and the red banner fluttering on the city's head with a horrified face.

The Qin army did not dare to take a step forward, and hurriedly sent fast horses to immediately report back to General Mengwu on the bank of Yingshui.

Gongzi Qi's face sank like water, and he said indifferently: "Meng Wu sent this Qin army here without informing me, I'm afraid he already has suspicions. They will not listen to me, if these five thousand go into the city......"

Gongzi Qi didn't say any more, because in the ten years he had served as the prime minister of Qin, he knew very well how strong the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was.

These 5,000 Qin troops are fully equipped, and in the case of already being prepared, once they enter the city, don't look at the tens of thousands of Chu people in the city, but the head-on battle is not the opponent of the Qin people at all, and at that time, I am afraid that Chen Ying, who has just been resurrected, will fall to Huaiyang of the Qin State in the blink of an eye.

"I only need to defend this place, the 50,000 Chu people in the city can recruit tens of thousands of young people to defend the city, with strong and tall walls and sufficient defense equipment, it is enough to repel the attack of the Qin people."

"And if I do the opposite, the Qin army will lose the supply of food and grass, as long as I can hold on here, it won't be long before they will be defeated on their own, not to mention the Chu army in Xiangcheng in front of Mengwu, as well as ...... Shangzhu Country! ”

Gongzi Qi's eyes flashed.

Why did he dare to start an incident in advance, it was because all the grain, grass and baggage of the Qin army were hoarded in Chen Yingcheng.

This is an important node of the chasm, in the distant Xingyang granary, the Qin people loaded grain baggage onto ships, and then transported it here through the water of the chasm, hoarding grain in the city. Then, under the command and dispatch of Changping Jun, the Mengwu army in front was transported.

As long as Huaiyang is reversed, he doesn't even need to go out of the city to attack, as long as he holds the city, the nearly 70,000 soldiers under the command of Mengwu, as well as the tens of thousands of Qin people who are in charge of logistics nearby, will be cut off from the food source in an instant.

This is more than 100,000 people, how much food do they have to eat a day, Huaiyang is the opposite, what do they use to fill their stomachs?

……

Yingshui Qin Camp.

When Meng Wu received the news of Huaiyang's rebellion, the whole person was stunned.

"It's true...... Changpingjun turned out to be really the opposite. ”

He muttered, his hands trembling slightly.

When he received Li Xin's reminder, although Meng Wu believed it a little, he still didn't dare to make a rash decision. After all, this matter is very important, and it is not something that he Mengwu can decide at will.

But just in case, he specially dispatched 5,000 soldiers to garrison Huaiyang, and personally warned the generals of this song, telling them to be careful of the Chu people in the city. Moreover, Meng Wu did not inform Changping Jun of this matter in advance, so that there was a surprise, and this was his response.

In Meng Wu's plan, as long as 5,000 Qin troops suddenly entered Huaiyang, plus the original 3,000 guards, such a number was enough to deter Changping Jun and the Chu people in the city, so that they would not dare to act rashly.

When he defeats Xiangcheng and eliminates the Chu army in the city, he won't have to worry about problems on the back road.

But he didn't expect that Changping Jun would be so vigilant and sensitive, and before the five thousand Qin troops he sent arrived, he had already raised the flag to rebel.

"As soon as Huaiyang rebels, our army will have no food and logistics."

Meng Wu's teeth chattered, and he looked at the many generals in the tent who were also stunned after hearing the news.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Han Zhong, how much food is left in my military camp for how many days to consume?" ”

General Han Zhong also trembled and said: "There are still three days, and the grain and grass are only enough for the army to eat for three days." ”

Nearly 70,000 soldiers, plus logistics people, the eclipse and night chewing are very huge, so there is not much grain and grass hoarded in the Yingshui military camp, and it has always relied on Huaiyang's non-stop transportation.

"General Meng, we should quickly return to Huaiyang, take the anti-city, catch the anti-thief Changping Jun, and recapture the grain, so as to ensure that our army is not lost!"

Yang Yuan stood up and said in a panic.

The other generals also followed, and at this moment, they all looked frightened, and they no longer dared to mention the matter of attacking Xiangcheng.

"Three days ......"

Meng Wu closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Li Xin is not here, he is the main general of this Qin army, everyone can panic, only he can't be caught off guard.

Soon, Meng Wu opened his eyes and slammed the wooden case in front of him.

"Yang Yuan, take 20,000 soldiers to continue to surround Xiangcheng, protect my back road, and prevent the Chu army in the city from pursuing."

"Han Zhong, you immediately gather the soldiers, protect the grain, and slowly retreat to Huaiyang with me."

"Before our army retreats to Huaiyang, we must not leak the news of this matter to the army, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

After writing this battle in the next chapter, even if the overall situation has been decided for the first time, Zhao Tuo's stage will be followed.
