"The Chu army has been defeated, and the general has conquered Huaiyang."

"A large number of Chu army routs are fleeing in the direction of Qiyi."

The scouts sent by Zhao Tuo to the west returned, and brought back the news of the Qin army's victory on the main battlefield.

At this time, it has reached the beginning of spring, as the cold winter gradually passes, spring begins to spread on this land, although there is still a cold refreshing, but it is better than a day.

"It's finally here, it's the right time."

A smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.

Previously, a Chu army disguised itself as a rout, intending to lure him to Qiyi for siege and killing.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo sensed that the other party was coming at the wrong time, so he did not act rashly, and sent cavalry to investigate everywhere, and really found something unusual.

After scouting, it was found that the number of the Chu army was as high as forty or fifty thousand. And his soldiers are all fully armed, and the army looks neat when walking, and it is not a miscellaneous unit at first glance.

The Chu army knew that the trace was leaked, so he stopped pretending and went straight east.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Tuo did not dare to act rashly, and even prepared to immediately lead his troops to retreat to Pengcheng as long as the other party went north to Suishui. Fortunately, the tens of thousands of Chu troops had no intention of crossing Suishui to attack, and left east after staying in Qiyi.

Zhao Tuo didn't know what the purpose of these tens of thousands of Chu troops went east, but he didn't dare to pursue, first, because the enemy was too numerous. Second, judging by the banner of the Chu army, the Chu general on the opposite side is very likely to be Yin Xiangyan, the commander of the Chu State.

"What happened on the Huaiyang battlefield, why did Xiang Yan leave behind hundreds of thousands of Chu troops and only take tens of thousands of people east?"

Zhao Tuo was puzzled.

But cautiously, he still chose to defend the camp, and only sent cavalry to investigate the situation in the west.

Zhao Tuo didn't dare to take it lightly, let alone follow behind Chu Jun. Xiang Yan is a veteran of the battlefield, he can design to trap the Qin army with a rout, how do he know that he will not pretend to go east, but in fact, he planted an ambush in the rear to ambush him.

Under such circumstances, almost twenty days have passed, winter has gone to spring, and the news of the battle of Qin and Chu has also come.

"In the past two days, Xiangyi has also been taken by friendly forces from Suiyang. We have no worries about the back road, I should lead the princes to the south, take down Cai, cross the Huaishui from there, and come to the capital of Chu Shouchun! ”

During the big tent military discussion, Zhao Tuo announced the next battle plan with a proud face.

He looked down on the Chu army that was fleeing in all directions, and this time he went south, with the goal of smashing the Chu capital directly and doing a big deal.

In the military tent, the generals were extremely excited.

The black buttocks shouted and laughed even more: "I heard that the king of Chu ordered a reward of 100 gold to capture my black buttocks alive." Now that Naigong has gone to Shouchun in person, I wonder if he can give me the reward of 100 gold? ”

"Hahaha, then it depends on whether you are willing to give your ass to the King of Chu to stab with bamboo, I heard that the King of Chu said that he would stab you with a thousand bamboos."

Bai Rong's face was full of banter, and the generals also laughed.

The Qin army's military heart was available, Zhao Tuo no longer hesitated, leaving a part of the soldiers to guard the cities along the way, and he took 25,000 people to cross the Suishui and go south.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Tuo's troops were supplemented by 5,000 people from Dongjun.

The reason is that Li Shiqi sent an envoy to the Qi State and made a major breakthrough, so that Dongjun no longer needed 10,000 garrisons, and half of them could be sent south to support General Zhao.

Under the deterrence of the Battle of Zhencheng, the temptation of the Qin army to return Zhencheng and release thousands of prisoners, coupled with the fact that Li Shiqi was eloquent, Qi Wangjian and Qi Xiangtian were persuaded by him on the spot to decide to return to Qin and openly break with those of the Four Kingdoms.

In order to show their sincerity, Qi Wangjian and Qi Xiangtian sent troops to encircle and suppress the people of Sanjin and Yan who were still in Qi.

Tian Jiao also mobilized public opinion and pinned the blame for the defeat of the Qi army on the heads of the people of the Four Kingdoms, so that many Qi people also had a bad feeling towards the people of the Four Kingdoms and joined the encirclement and suppression.

"How could my 100,000 Qi army be defeated so badly, it must be the people of your four kingdoms! If it weren't for your assassination, the Qin army would not have attacked at night, not at night, and fought in a dignified manner, and our Qi army would not have lost so badly! ”

Under such circumstances, the people of the four countries became street rats in the Qi country, and many people were killed and injured, and the Qi army even captured some big people.

The rest of the people of the four kingdoms are either incognito in the Qi State, or they have fled from the previous generations and the Chu State, and they will no longer be able to stir up the situation in the world in a short time.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo had no worries at all, and immediately led the army across Suishui and took Qiyi first.

When Gong Qi heard that the Qin army was heading south, he was already frightened, but when he thought that his son Dou Yuan was captured by the Qin army last year, he must have lost his life, so he decided to resist to the end and die for the Chu State.

"King Qin Rende did not kill the beloved son of the public, but was demoted to a subordinate and still had his life left. If Gongju City surrenders, General Zhao will repay Xianyang with this merit, redeem it for the beloved son of Gong, and reunite the father and son, isn't it beautiful? ”

When the envoy sent by the Qin army said these words, Qi Gong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Defending the city, he was killed by the Qin army, and his son was always a subordinate, suffering every day.

Kaesong surrendered, father and son reunited.

Of the two outcomes, do you still need to think about which one to choose?

Qiyi surrendered without a fight, saving Zhao Tuo a siege loss, and after Qiyi replenished the grain, Zhao Tuo waved his army to the southwest.

Along the way, they encountered a large number of Chu army routs.

Some of these Chu army soldiers came from the Huaiyang battlefield, some from Xiangcheng, Huyi, and even those who fled from Pingyu and Mengqiu, and they also brought the latest news one by one.

The Chu army was defeated, and the Chu general Zhaoyuan was defeated and killed himself.

The Qin general Feng Wuxuan has broken the bitterness.

Qin General Qiang has broken Xiangcheng.

The Qin general Yang Duan and the army have taken the sleeping hill.

The Qin army was victorious on Cai, and the division captured the right Sima Yesheng of the Chu State on the bank of Rushui.

……

The good news made all the 25,000 soldiers under Zhao Tuo's command energetic and energetic.

In the battle of Qin and Chu, the overall situation has been decided.

The next battle of the Qin army will be a victory, and it will all be a tailwind battle!

There is not the slightest danger, and even the most cowardly person has become full of courage all over his body.

This is a feat, who is not happy!

More than ten days later, this Qin army arrived north of Xia Cai.

Because the main forces of the Qin army in Huaiyang and Shangcai needed to chase down the defeated army of Chu, check the points and capture, and conquer the cities of Chu all the way, their marching speed was slower than that of Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo's department was actually the first Qin army to arrive near Xia Cai.

"Last year, General Li was defeated here."

Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot, looking at the wide flat ground around him, if he looked closely, he could even see fallen arrows and broken weapons in the wild grass, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but sigh.

Last year, Li Xin attacked Chu and led 30,000 elites to attack the Chu capital Shouchun, but in the end, because of the betrayal of the thief Xiong Qi, Li Xin was blocked by the Chu general Xiang Yan here, and finally a big battle, the Qin army was defeated and stopped in the wilderness outside Caicheng.

That battle was a shame for the Qin State and a pain in the hearts of the Qin people.

Now, the Qin army is once again approaching Cai, but the situation is very different from last year.

Zhao Tuo looked back and looked at the mighty and majestic army of black armor behind him.

and the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to the west and north, who have not yet been seen, but are constantly coming.

This time, the Qin army was no longer a surprise attack and detour, but defeated the army of Chu head-on, and led the troops with dignity.

They want to destroy the state of Chu with absolute superiority.

Under such circumstances, the Chu army of Xia Cai was defeated without a fight, allowing the Qin army to easily take this important city that crossed the Huaishui.

Zhao Tuo stood on the bank of the Huaishui, looking at the misty south bank, and whispered: "I'm back." ”

"This time, General Li's regret will be completed by me for him."

"The state of Chu will perish!"

……

South of Huaishui, Chu capital Shouchun.

The king of Chu had received the news that Xia Cai had been lost and the Qin army was in Huaishui, especially according to the report of Tanma, the banner of the Qin general made the king of Chu tremble.

"Zhao Tuo?"
