Chapter 241: Replacing Truth with Falsehood
"Xiang Yan!"
In the city of Shouchun, the king of Chu picked up the wine on the eucalyptus and slammed it on the ground, accompanied by a crisp crashing sound, and the sweet wine flew everywhere.
"How dare he Xiang Yan!"
"And those Qin people, damn it!"
The king of Chu gritted his teeth so loudly that his eyes were about to bulge out.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao hurriedly comforted: "The king is angry, this matter is as expected by the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Qin army that raided was only a few thousand people at most, and they deceived me Shouchun with the lies of 30,000 Qin troops, just to take the prisoners and escape calmly."
"Now that there is news from the east that they have escaped from the city, I think that these Qin people want to make a detour north from the eastern border of our Chu State and return to the Qin State. He also asked the king to immediately dispatch the feudal kings from all over the country to intercept it, and send a large army to pursue it. As for Shangzhu State's actions, it is also to defeat the Qin army and protect my Chu State, don't be angry!"
The King of Chu looked at Jing Zhao with a cold gaze.
At the beginning, the king of Chu was indeed frightened by the Qin army that suddenly appeared.
After all, at that time, the main force of the Chu army was in Huaibei, and the 5,000 Chu troops responsible for escorting the captives were suddenly attacked by the Qin people, and the rout was driven to Shouchun City, where they were hunted down and killed in front of the Chu people in the city.
The Qin military captain named Black Buttocks even insulted him with his ass in front of the King of Chu.
Such a rampant and bold action, how could it not make the king of Chu tremble, not to mention that there were also those merchants of the Chu State who had fled back to testify that 30,000 Qin troops were about to arrive.
Therefore, in the first few days, the king of Chu recruited the Chu people in the city to defend the city, and he was terrified day by day, fearing that there would really be 30,000 Qin troops who would suddenly attack the city and enter Shouchun and take him prisoner to Xianyang.
But as time passed, not only did the so-called "30,000 Qin Army" not appear, but even the Qin army that raided Qu Ming at the foot of the Eight Mountains did not make any next move.
Only on the eight mountains, occasionally there are Chu people who are bold enough to approach, and they can see many Qin soldiers standing guard and patrolling in the mountain fog.
The news that came back said that those Qin troops were extremely numerous, holding spears, standing very straight, and at first glance they looked like a well-trained army.
Although he didn't know what the Qin people were doing on the mountain, he was afraid that the Qin army would go down the mountain, so he didn't dare to send troops out of the city, but just sat on Shouchun, strengthened the city defense day by day, and waited for Xiang Yan's reinforcements.
Until the towns and cities in the east came news one after another.
A Qin army is heading east!
The number of this Qin army was only a few thousand, and they wore red Chu army armor and stomachs, and they went all the way to the east, opening several cities along the way, and going straight into the eastern hinterland of the Chu state.
At this time, the 10,000 Chu troops sent back by Xiang Yan also arrived, and the confident King of Chu dared to send troops to the Eight Mountains to check.

In the East, where did the 30,000 Qin troops come from? This is all a trick of the Qin people!"
Jin Xia sneered, "Songyang Jun is wrong, the reason why you didn't see those 30,000 Qin troops is, of course, because they were all scared back by the king!"
"In the face of the sneak attack of the Qin army, the king was calm, recruited the young and strong people in the city to defend the city, strengthened the city defenses day and night, and did not give the Qin army a chance to take advantage of it, and at the same time immediately sent an envoy to summon the army of Shangzhu to come back to help, wanting to flank the Qin army and annihilate them in this Huainan land."
"Under such a wise command of the king, the lord of the Qin army will see that my Shouchun City is strong, and the army and the people are united, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to capture, and the army of my Chu State is about to rush back, and they will be in danger of destruction at that time, so they will leave a plan of wooden people on the eight mountains, so as to lead the troops to retreat west. The reason why they are not found is because they have long since disappeared!"
"As for the proof of the existence of the 30,000-strong army, it is the Qin army that is heading east!"
"Why did these thousands go to the east, and break my city along the way? It's nothing more than to attract the attention of our Chu army, so as to cover the westward retreat of the 30,000 Qin army! Such a simple plan, why didn't you Songyang-kun see it?"
Jing Zhao was stunned, and he looked at Jin Xia with a distressed expression on his face.
Is this person serious?
"It is worthy of Jin Qing, who can see through the tricks of the Qin people at a glance, and he is really an important minister of the country."
The King of Chu stroked his palms and praised, and he bowed his head and said, "The heart of the valley is only understandable by Jin Qing."
"It's a pity that Xiang Yan only stared at Meng Wu's partial division, but in vain he ignored the 30,000 Qin army that sneaked into Shouchun City, if he could lead the army back as soon as he received Bugu's edict, instead of only sending 10,000 people to come slowly, he would definitely be able to join forces with Bugu to flank the Qin army and annihilate it in the land of Huainan, how could he let the 30,000 Qin army escape!"
Jin Xia squinted his eyes and smiled, "What the king said is that this time it was all a misjudgment of the Shangzhu Kingdom, which caused the fighter to be delayed and the Qin army was released."
After a gentleman and a minister sang and made peace, the king of Chu turned his gaze to Jing Zhao with a shocked face.
"Xiang Yan made a mistake in judgment and did not listen to Bugu's edict, which caused the 30,000 Qin troops to retreat from Rongxi, which was a big mistake. However, Shangzhu is an important minister of the country, and he has just defeated Li Xin and made great achievements. I don't want to pursue it too much, so I'll forget it."
"Now the 30,000 Qin army has long since fled and can't catch up, but the Qin army that is going east is still there, and they will definitely cross the Huai to the north sooner or later."
"Jing Zhao, you immediately send fast horses, day and night, and send orders to the feudal lords and county princes in the east, so that they can immediately recruit soldiers again, and be sure to stop and annihilate that Qin army."
….
"The more than 10,000 people that the Shangzhu State has just sent back, let them also go out of the city and pursue them eastward, and they must annihilate that Qin army before it escapes!"
"They must not be allowed to flee back to Qin! The main general of the Qin army must be captured alive, brought to Shouchun by Bugu, and his car will be broken! The car cracks!"
"And that black buttocks, capture him alive to Shouchun, and don't want people to use a thousand bamboos to smack the *** ass!"
At the end of the words, the king of Chu was already hateful on his face, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
Shameful, how can you not report it!
Jing Zhao was confused by the words of the king of Chu and the right Yin Jin Xia, and before he could react, he saw that the king had already issued an order to intercept and kill the Qin army, so he could only surrender his promise and retreat in a daze.
After Jing Zhao left, there were only two people left in the palace here, King Chu and Right Yin Jin Xia.
"Great King, the fact that the 30,000 Qin troops were frightened away should be announced to the whole city, so as to show the majesty of the king." Jin Xia said.
The King of Chu nodded, satisfied with his favorite minister's proposal.
30,000 Qin troops.
A must have!
No, there must be!
Otherwise, if the news that he was frightened by the false words of thousands of Qin soldiers spread, wouldn't it become the biggest laughing stock in the world, and how would the Chu people in Manchu come to see him?
Even, this is also related to his decision with Xiang Yan on this matter.
There is nothing wrong with the king.
Wrong only
It can be you Xiang Yan.
Moreover, Xiang Yan ignored the edict and safety of the king, and went straight north to Xiangcheng, saying that it was a direct attack on the Mengwu Qin army, for the safety of the Chu State, but in fact, it was also echoing Xiong Qi in Chen Yingcheng.
"Xiang Yan...... Xiong Qi ......"
The King of Chu muttered.
……
More than two hundred miles east of Shouchun, a long-distance Qin army finally arrived at the destination of their trip.
"Zhongli."
Zhao Tuo rode on a horse and looked at a city on the south bank of the Huaishui River in the distance.
There was the place he chose.
They would cross the Huaishui from Zhongliyi and then begin their northward journey, passing through the cities of Chu and reaching the border of Qin.
It's not a long journey, but that doesn't mean it's a safe one.
Within enemy territory, danger is everywhere.
Zhao Tuo retracted his gaze and said to the left and right, "Let General Qu Ming go and call the door."
Dongjun who took off
