"There are mountain ghosts crossing the city at night?"

"The fox is like a human?"

"It's true, my uncle's sister-in-law Qiu's friend of Zhongzi is keeping vigil on that city wall, and he saw it with his own eyes!"

In Shouchun City, there are Chu people everywhere talking.

In two or three days, since the Qin army suspended the siege of the city, the Shouchun Chu people, who had relaxed a little, were once again strangled by an invisible rope.

All kinds of strange things that happened in the past few days, after they spread in the city, made the Chu people feel suffocated and panting when they heard it.

Fear once again filled the city, even more desperate than it had been when the previous sacrifice had failed.

"Today's great kings have killed their ancestors and are rejected by the gods. Therefore, the city head sacrificed to pray to the gods, but the great priest did not respond, and even the Qin army bombarded with flying stones at that time, maybe it was also the meaning of the gods? ”

"The mountain ghosts spend their birthdays at night, and sing poignant voices for the funeral of the Chu State."

"The fox roared at night, and his voice seemed to say, 'Da Chu is dead, and he is surrendered'."

"Great Chu is dead, and he is surrendered!"

"Could it be that my Chu State is really going to die?"

"It seems that it is, the war is lost, the gods abandon us, the state of Chu will definitely die this time, according to the gods, even the king will go out of the city and surrender. My Chu State will be destroyed by Qin, just like the Three Jin and Yan Kingdoms. It seems that we will have to become Qin people in the future. ”

"I wonder when the king will surrender?"

……

In this era, the power of ghosts and gods is strong enough to affect the minds of most people.

Especially the commoners at the bottom of society, when they hear the words of ghosts and gods, everyone trembles, and no one dares to question it.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

The sacrifice comes first, and the military struggle comes last, which shows the importance of gods and ghosts.

Especially for today's Chu people, whether it is worship or Rong, they are all losers.

Militarily, the Huaibei of the Chu State was defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops were all killed, and the Qin army was approaching the city, and the Chu people could no longer see any hope of victory in the war.

In the sacrifice, the gods abandoned, the mountain ghosts were buried, and the fox screamed at night "Da Chu died".

Even the gods and spirits have come out to make it clear.

Is there any suspense about the death of the state of Chu?

Thinking about a few days ago, when the Qin army had just approached the city, the Chu people in the city still had the intention of fighting bloody battles and swearing to defend the city.

Now, under the instructions of the gods, not to mention everything, but most of the Chu people have surrendered.

The gods all say that the state of Chu will perish, why should we, the common people, use our lives to do useless work?

After the will to fight was destroyed by the oracle, the fear of the Shouchun Chu people for the Qin army outside the city came to their hearts again.

Especially the Qin general outside the city, named Zhao Tuo!

If the Qin general who led the army outside the city was an unknown person, or a "famous general" like Li You, the Chu people would not have such a strong fear.

But the other party is Zhao Tuo!

This person dared to smuggle across Huaishui with 5,000 people last year, and he showed off his might outside Shouchun City, and the bank of Surabaya was a big break of Zuo Sima's army, which became the only stain on the victory of Chu State last year.

And this year, this Zhao Tuo has become even more terrifying.

First, he broke 100,000 Qi troops in Zhencheng and captured the great Sima of Qi alive. After going south, he fought even more victoriously, and heard that Yin Xiangyan's sons were forced to kill by him, and this person now drove straight into the city with an army of twenty or thirty thousand, forcing him to the city of Shouchun.

In front of this famous Zhao Tuo, who was even used by the women of the Chu people to scare children from crying at night, can Shouchun really be saved?

In Shouchun City, except for most of the frightened Chu people. There are also many people who have already had the intention of surrendering to Qin, and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and the more they talked about ghosts and gods, the more mysterious they became.

It is said that someone took out a silk book in the belly of the fish, on which were written the words "Destroy Chu".

The one who destroys Chu!

Such an oracle further shattered the hearts of the Chu people in the city, and made the Qin general named Zhao Tuo have an extra layer of mysterious aura in their hearts.

Just when the dark tide was surging in the city, the Qin army was not sitting and waiting.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Tuo ordered the loud Chu people who surrendered to the Qin army, holding the bronze horn, the secret weapon of the Qin army, and under the shield protection of the Qin army's guards, along Shouchun City, day and night to publicize the policies of the Qin army.

Qin was ordered by heaven to destroy Chu, it was the will of the gods!

If the Chu people are in the way, they are going against the sky and are rejected by the gods!

Those who surrender will not be killed!

Those who surrender to Qin retain their wealth and wealth!

The Qin army does not kill good people, does not rob people's property, and does not adulterate women!

If there are those who do not know the current affairs and resist desperately, they will be punished!

In addition to loudspeaker propaganda, the Qin army also used cannons and arrows to shoot silk books full of policies into the city.

This is a heart-attacking trick used by Wang Jian in the past when he attacked Wuyang of Yan State.

Silk silk is a valuable thing, whether it is a commoner, a slave or a soldier and craftsman, as long as they see it, they will definitely pick it up.

There are more of them, and there will always be literate people.

In this way, the policies of the Qin army could spread among the Chu people.

At the same time, this is also a promise made by the Qin army to those rich and wealthy people and nobles in Shouchun City.

Chu is an 800-year-old country.

In the capital, there are aristocratic families, and I don't know how many rich and wealthy people there are.

With their high status, great wealth, and even hundreds of private soldiers, these people were a force to be reckoned with in the city.

They were afraid of the arrival of the Qin army and that the Qin people would take away their wealth, so there would be many people who would resist desperately.

But now that the silk book has arrived, coupled with the non-stop propaganda outside the city gate day and night, it can put many people at ease.

"The Qin army promised to keep our wealth and not to loot and insult, so why should we follow that person to seek death together!"

"However, he is a usurper who kills the king, and even the gods reject him, so we should not associate with such murderers."

"The gods of heaven sent down an edict that the person who destroyed Chu was Zhao Tuo, the Qin general outside the city. The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and we can go against the sky, so let's come down! ”

Many rich and noble people in the city communicated with each other, and they were already willing to surrender.

The defeat of the war, the oracle of the gods, and the policy of the Qin army......

Under these factors, Shouchun City, which has tens of thousands of soldiers and a year's worth of food, has begun to disintegrate internally.

Outside Shouchun City, the Qin military camp tent.

Zhao Tuo glanced at the silk book in his hand and threw it on the wooden case.

"I've got it."

On the wooden case, there are many similar silk books.

This is a letter sent by the nobles of the Chu State in the city to ask for surrender.

"Therefore, the first army is to attack and plot, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The siege of the city is a last resort. ”

"Grandson Wu, don't deceive me."

Zhao Tuo muttered to himself, his smile expanding on his face.

"Summoning all the generals to discuss matters and break Shouchun, just today!"

……

Outside Shouchun City, war drums sounded.

A large number of black-armored Qin troops marched neatly and marched towards the distant city with the beat of the drums amid the passionate war drums.

They pushed huge siege engines, held sharp swords and halberds in their hands, and their eyes gleamed with excitement.

Meritorious promotion is just around the corner!

At the head of Shouchun City, seeing that the black Qin army outside the city was approaching, those Chu soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city wall were full of fear, and their hands were still trembling slightly with weapons.

"Da Chu is dead, and he is surrendered."

"Exterminator!"

Someone whispered a message from the gods.

The fate of the Chu State has been declared by the gods, and they are guarding Shouchun and going against the sky.

When the Qin army began to attack, the ladder hooked the wall, and the Qin soldiers jumped on the city in excitement.

The Chu pawns, who were supposed to fight hard with the Qin army, shouted in the chaos and ran down the city tower one after another, not only ordinary soldiers, but even middle and low-level generals such as Liang Sima also took the lead in fleeing.

At the same time, the nobles and wealthy who had been prepared in the city for a long time, in order to show their value in front of the Qin army, also when the Qin army attacked the city, the private soldiers attacked the city gates that were not blocked by earth and stones, drove the Chu soldiers guarding the gates, and opened several city gates.

……

In the city of Shouchun, behind the towering palace walls.

The king of Chu was lying comfortably on the soft collapse.

After a few days, coupled with the effect of the Wang family's secret medicine, most of the wounds on his back and buttocks have healed and scarred, except for the occasional tingling sensation, which no longer makes him painful.

The two beauties were pinching his legs, feet and shoulders for him, making the King of Chu make a comfortable "humming" sound.

"There is a Xiongcheng in Bugu, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and countless grains and grasses. So how can Zhao Tuo be helpless? ”

The king of Chu muttered to himself, he didn't want to face the threat of a dying country, he just wanted to live in this gentle country forever, and didn't think about anything.

"Fetch wine for Bugu!"

The beauty brought the wine, and more than ten glasses of turbid wine went down to the stomach, and the face of the king of Chu turned red.

"What Zhao Tuo Qin people, they only love beauties!"

Looking at the two fair-skinned and delicate beauties in front of him, he laughed, stretched out his hand and hugged it in his arms, one on each side, the fragrance entered his nose, arousing his desires.

The king of Chu couldn't hold it back, and arched his mouth.

Outside the door, a string of hurried footsteps approached.

"King, Shouchun Waiguo has fallen!"

"The Qin army has entered the city!"
