Shouchun City.

It is bordered by Huaishui in the north and Shaobi in the south, the land is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and it is a big city in Huainan.

In the twenty-second year of King Chu Kaolie, the state of Chu moved its capital here from Huaibei, and more than ten years have passed.

During this period, the state of Chu relied on the vast land of Huaibei to confront the enemy, allowing the king of Chu and the nobles of the kingdom to live in peace and happiness in this fertile land of Huainan. Drinking wine all day long, hugging left and right, how beautiful and happy the days are.

Until last year, a Qin army smuggled across Huaishui on a bamboo raft from the west brought a huge shock to the tens of thousands of Chu civilians in the city and the nobles of the Chu State in the city.

The Chu people of Shouchun can't forget the terrifying scene that happened last year.

On the banks of the water, the mist of winter is shrouded.

Just as they were standing outside the city, eagerly waiting for the return of the Chu army, which was escorting the Qin captives. What appeared in front of them was a Chu soldier who had lost his armor and fled back with fear on his face.

After the rout, it was the black-armored Qin army with a bloodthirsty face.

The Qin people were extremely vicious, not only defeating their army, but also showing off their might in front of Shouchun City, and even humiliating their king with his swarthy ass.

It is a great shame to do so.

But I didn't expect that it was just the beginning of the humiliation, this Qin army turned thousands of miles into the next thousand miles, crossed the Huaishui through Zhongli, attacked Qiyi and Fuli, passed through Pengcheng to Fengpei, and finally on the bank of Surabaya, the first battle broke the 10,000 army of Zuo Sima of Chu State, and played a classic battle of winning more with less.

That battle was the glory and glory of the Qin State, but for the Chu people, it was a deep shame.

Zhao Tuo.

The name of the commander of the Qin army has since been deeply imprinted in the hearts of tens of thousands of Chu people in Shouchun.

Now, he's back.

The man named Zhao Tuo, with an even larger army, carried the glorious record of Zhencheng breaking 100,000 Qi troops and Pengcheng defeating 30,000 Chu troops.

"Is it really Zhao Tuo? Is that Zhao Tuo who won a big victory in Surabaya? ”

"It's him, I heard that he has taken Xia Cai and is crossing the Huaishui."

"Taiyi is on top, if it is really Zhao Tuo, this time he will die."

With the conversation and discussion of the Chu people in the city, the latest news was transmitted.

Fear is spreading in the capital of the Chu State.

"I'm back!"

At the same time, a black-armored army had just crossed the wide Huaishui and set foot on this most critical and core land of the Chu State.

Zhao Tuo got off the boat and looked at the surrounding scene, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Especially when he saw the eight mountains in the distance, shrouded in a layer of white mist, his expression became weird, and he couldn't help but think of last year's events.

When Cai Wu saw this scene, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "General Zhao is like a god, the villain once heard that the last time the general was in Shouchun, he used branches and vines to be a soldier on the eight mountains, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep day and night, and he didn't dare to send someone up the mountain to investigate. The general's move really used the way of attacking the heart in the art of war to the extreme, and we villains admired it very much. ”

Zhao Tuo was a little interested, and said with a smile: "Negative is so timid, just a wooden person, can he be scared to sleep?" ”

Cai Wu flattered: "It's not the power of the wooden man, it's the power of the general." When I was in Xiangyi, I heard that the merchants in the past talked about this matter, saying that it was near Shouchun, and there are still folk proverbs circulating to this day. ”

"After saying General Zhao, on the eight mountains, the grass and trees are all soldiers!"

"Grass and trees are soldiers?"

Zhao Tuo was stunned, and then smiled dumbly.

Seeing Zhao Tuo laughing, Cai Wu also smirked.

As a Chu general who commanded 5,000 Xiangyi soldiers in the past, he followed Xiang Qu to pursue the Qin army, and was defeated in the Battle of Pass.

Xiang Qu and Jing ran away in one go, but Cai Wu was unlucky and was captured by the Qin.

Fortunately, his armor is bright enough, and his position and title are high enough, so he will not be cut off by the Qin people for military merits like ordinary Chu pawns.

Cai Wu is a smart man, and when he surrendered, he was erected by General Zhao as an example of buying horse bones, and he became the "ambassador of surrender" of the Qin army.

Cai Wu was smirking, but his eyes looked at the tall city in the clouds and mist in the distance.

"Quickly perish, as long as the state of Chu is destroyed, no one will say anything about my Cai Wu surrendering to Qin."

"Lead the way for General Zhao, maybe I can exchange some merits and get a little wealth in the Qin State?"

An hour later, the Qin army had crossed the Huaishui, and in addition to the 3,000 Qin soldiers who remained in Xia Cai to guard, the Qin army that set foot in Huainan had a total of 22,000 people.

"Zhao Guang, leave 2,000 people to camp on this shore to receive our army's supply of military rations and follow-up friendly troops."

"The rest of the soldiers immediately marched forward as a team, marched into Shouchun, and set up camp in the open area outside the city!"

Zhao Tuo calmly issued military orders.

This time they were not alone, after the general Huaiyang won a big victory, the Qin army went all the way south, and broke through Xiangcheng and even Huyi, the waterway to the two banks of Huaishui was completely opened.

The grain supplies of the Qin army could be loaded onto ships from Xingyang, all the way south along the chasm, entering Yingshui at Xiangcheng, and then continuing south along Yingshui, joining the Huai River, and finally stopping at the banks of Xia Cai.

In this way, Xingyang's grain can directly reach the place where Zhao Tuo's army went ashore by water, and there will be no more danger of food shortage. This is also an important reason why Zhao Tuo was reluctant to send troops before the victory or defeat in the previous war, and he would definitely lead his troops south after the victory in Huaiyang.

The Qin army, under the banner of General Zhao, moved south and set up camp a few miles outside the city of Shouchun.

This layout cut off the way for the king of Chu to flee eastward, so that he could only defend Shouchun, and when the main force of the Qin army went south, it would be the trend of catching turtles in the urn.

The king of Chu stood at the head of Shouchun City, looking at the endless Qin army camp in the distance, swallowing his saliva, and his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.

"Zhao Tuo, there is no one in the Chu country who deceives me! If it weren't for Xiang Yan escaping......"

"Yes, it's all to blame for Xiang Yan's traitor!"

"This thief is even more hateful than Zhao Tuo, if it weren't for Xiang Yan disobeying Bugu's orders and escaping with Bugu's elite soldiers, how could the situation fall to the point where it is now, Bugu An can be surrounded by Zhao Tuo!"

The king of Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Bugu guessed that it was right, Xiang Yan had already had the heart to oppose Bugu, and when he saw Bugu calling him back to Shouchun, he was afraid and chose to defect to the east." I think he must be going to establish Xiong Qi as the king. Bugu already knew, Bugu guessed right! ”

"I knew this earlier, when Xiang Yan was in Shouchun, Bugu should have killed him, so that he had no chance to betray Bugu at all!"

The King of Chu scolded angrily again and again, especially when he thought of the bloody head sent back from Chen Ying, which made him even more angry.

"Jin Xia is a loyal minister of Bugu, but he was killed by these traitors, which led to the collapse of the situation, and the harm of Bugu was sitting in the lonely city."

"Xiang Yan, Zhao Yuan, Xiong Qi ......"

"Rebels, they are all a bunch of rebels!"

The more the king of Chu scolded, the more angry he became, the more he scolded, the more excited he became, and even a thought came to his mind.

"It would be nice if he could scold the Qin general Zhao Tuo, as well as Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi to death."

If he scolds others, he naturally can't hurt the other party. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to curse the other party!

"Come on, call the Great Witch to Bugu!"

The king of Chu had an idea, and he actually came up with an idea, and his face was full of madness.

Soon, the gray-haired witch was called from the temple to the city.

"The ancestors of my Chu State have worshiped the gods day and night, respectful and pious, and have never been disrespectful. Today, the Qin army is coming to the city, and our Chu country is in danger of collapse for 800 years. At this time of crisis, I also ask the great witch to pray to the gods, descend the divine might, destroy the Qin army and those traitors, and save my Chu country! ”

"As long as the gods let Bugu keep the Sheji of Chu State, Bugu will definitely sacrifice every day, and he will never slack off!"

The Great Witch was stunned.

The king asked me to pray to the gods to descend on the gods and destroy the Qin army?

Seeing that Da Wu was stunned, the King of Chu had a hideous face, stared at him and said, "What? Can't the Great Witch do it? ”

The Great Witch was glared at by the sharp eyes of the King of Chu, and his whole body was agitated, and he hurriedly said: "This matter is feasible!" Ask the king to bathe for three days, offer sacrifices, and then let the Chu people in the city pray sincerely. The sincerity of the Divine Spirit King and the Chu people in the city will definitely descend to destroy the Qin army and save the Chu State. ”

Hearing that there was a drama in this matter, King Chu's face suddenly relaxed, and he felt that his whole body was full of cool words.

He asked, "I wonder how the gods will use to destroy the Qin army outside the city?" ”

Da Wu blinked, went over the names of the gods of Chu in his heart, and said: "We should pray for the mercy of Yunzhongjun, when Yunzhongjun rains down thunderstorms, he will definitely be able to wipe out all the Qin troops outside the city!" ”

Gentleman in the clouds?

Inexplicably, the king of Chu remembered that just last year, he was pointed to the eight mountains by the great witch at the head of the city, saying that it was the matter of Yunzhongjun's location.

"Don't invite Yunzhongjun!"

"Nogu, I want to ask the great priest to come down!"

"The Great Priest is the god who is in charge of the fate of life and death, as long as the Great Priest descends his divine might, he will definitely be able to destroy all those who are against Bugu!"

The king of Chu laughed wildly, and his eyes were already red.

"Bugu wants to pray for the life of the great priest and accept the lives of Zhao Tuo and these tens of thousands of Qin soldiers!"

There is also a third chapter in the evening, a little later.
