Wang Hui nodded, "The battle will attack the city, this is the reality!" ”

"It is also a fact that the siege is the next city!" Xie Yunxiao said.

The two glanced at each other, and there was an inexplicable smile in their eyes.

The war continued, halfway through the unitary hour, the sun was setting, and everything in heaven and earth was bathed in the sunset, red.

So far, there have been many casualties in this battle.

Whether it is the Ning army or the Chu army, they have done their best.

The final result was that Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui still failed to capture Sanhe City, so they could only withdraw their troops.

Many soldiers of the Chu army stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, even though they were killed and wounded in this battle, there were many more than the Ning army, but Sanhe City was still saved after all.

In Sanhe City, Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang and others were all present, Xiang Yan had a smile on his face, he looked at many Chu generals and said: "After this battle, the foundation for our victory over the Ning army was laid, and it is they who should be anxious next, and we are to find an opportunity to completely defeat the Ning army and recover all the lost territory!" ”

"It turns out that the general has already planned it, when he retired from the army before, the last general thought that the general was afraid of the Ning army, afraid of Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui, it was the last general's mistake, after defeating the Ning army, the last general will definitely make amends to the general!" A general said.

The rest of the generals, who were gossiping at this time, apparently had the same idea.

Xiang Yan listened to the words of these people, couldn't help laughing, paused, and said: "In my life, Xiang Yan, I haven't been afraid of anyone, don't say that it is Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui, even if Wang Jian is here, under my Chu State Iron Cavalry, he Wang Jian is doomed to defeat!" ”

This is not a boast, everything is to stabilize the many generals here.

Wang Jian is a famous general, and he deliberately used Wang Jian to talk about things at this time, just to strike while the iron was hot, because Xiang Yan knew that if he wanted to defeat the 300,000 army led by Wang Hui and Xie Yunxiao, he was just starting with a space.

"Yes, even if Wang Jian comes, let him kneel down and kowtow obediently!"

"Yes, Wang Jian is a fart!"

······

Many generals of the Chu State, you are very excited and excited.

Xiang Yan glanced at these generals and was very satisfied.

In contrast, Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui's Ning Army Barracks looked much quieter.

Dai Qing has counted the number of dead and wounded, more than 9,000 people.

There are not many from 10,000.

This is the first time since the beginning of the confrontation with the Chu army.

The 300,000 army is naturally not only 300,000, but now it is still 300,000, but how many times can such casualties and 300,000 troops withstand it?

After Dai Qing went out, the inside of the camp tent was instantly quiet, and the needles could be heard.

After a long time, Wang Hui was the first to speak, "This is inevitable!" ”

"I know!" Xie Yunxiao nodded, and then his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, "Our soldiers will not die in vain!" Xie Yunxiao said.

Wang Hui's eyes shone with a fierce light at this time, "This is natural!" ”

"So, early tomorrow morning, let's retreat!" Xie Yunxiao said.

Wang Hui nodded, "Okay!" ”

On the second day, Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui led the army to retreat from Zhou.

Xiang Yan got the news and immediately summoned Yin Hong, Murong Su, Xiang Liang and others together to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after yesterday's battle, the Ning army will retire today, what do you think about it?" Xiang Yan looked at everyone, his eyes glowing with inquiry.

"General, they have done their best in the battle yesterday, if according to the previous speculation, there is really a problem with their food and grass, it is reasonable to withdraw today!"

"Yes, General, now is our chance to take advantage of the victory!"

"That's right, catch up and beat the water dog, let Ning Jun see my great Chu Zhiwei!"

······

Many generals are saying their own opinions, and their opinions are nothing more than whether to take advantage of the victory to pursue and why the Ning army is retreating now.

Xiang Yan listened to everyone's speeches, and then his eyes fell on Yin Hong, and said, "What does the high priest think?" ”

"Judging from the current situation, the retreat of the Ning army, no matter what their purpose, is excellent for us, and the most important thing is to see if there is an opportunity to seize, give them a fatal blow, and then set the overall situation!" Yin Hong said.

Xiang Yan nodded and smiled indifferently.

Yin Hong's opinion sounded like he had said something, but it sounded like he hadn't said anything.

He continued to ask Murong Sudao, "What about the opinion of the national teacher?" ”

"This point is retreating, it doesn't seem like there's a problem, but I always feel that there is something wrong, Xie Yunxiao has always been cunning, we have to be careful!" Murong Su said.

Xiang Yan said: "What does the national teacher mean that it is not appropriate to take advantage of the victory to pursue now?" ”

"I mean, it's never too late to pursue it!" Murong Su said.

Xiang Yan nodded, and after he pondered for a moment, he decided to take Murong Su's suggestion and immediately send someone out to investigate.

A day later, Xiang Yan finally found out that the reason why Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui withdrew from the army was because the battle line was too long and the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied.

Getting this answer, Xiang Yan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the three armies to go out of the city and pursue the army led by Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui.

In the next confrontation between the Chu army and the Ning army, although the Chu army did not completely occupy the top, every time they met, their advantages were gradually revealed.

In this way, Xiang Yan's confidence in winning has increased a few points.

In the Chu army camp, Xiang Yan looked at Murong Su, Yin Hong and the others, and said, "At the moment, our victory is inevitable, I don't know what you think at this time?" ”

"I don't think it's okay to be careless, the general can spread the battlefield situation and let Xianyang know the situation here!" Murong Su said.

When Xiang Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed, "The national teacher's plan is wonderful!" ”

In less than seven or eight days, the situation on the battlefield reached Xianyang.

Above the court, many ministers have begun to discuss, and they all feel that if they go on like this, Ning Guo may be defeated.

If the army is defeated, Xie Yunxiao's death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.

In addition, Wang Hui, as the commander of the three armed forces, must also be removed from the post of commander-in-chief and demoted to a civilian.

At the same time, Wang Jian, as Wang Hui's father, also has to ask for guilt.

These ministers obviously did not start from the overall situation of Ningguo, but wanted to bring down the Wang family and Xie Yunxiao, so that they could have a chance to ascend to the throne.

Qin Zheng just quietly looked at these civil and military ministers, and now Qin Sheng's trouble has been removed, but obviously a new crisis has begun again.

These ministers, at this critical time, were thinking about how to get benefits and things that were beneficial to themselves, but they didn't think about what they could get once Ning Guo was gone?

"It's a sign of impending disease, and some things have to be nippled in the bud!" Qin Zheng thought of this, and his peach blossom eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness.

"What do you think we should do now?" Qin Zheng's voice was a few penetrating words, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs at the moment stopped talking in an instant.

A minister said: "Your Majesty, we are not defeated at the moment, immediately send troops to the state of Chu to seek forgiveness from the state of Chu, and at the same time, recall Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui to ask for guilt!" ”

"Yes, the current situation is still good, you can get peace by cutting some land, and end the war between the two countries, now the territory of my Ning country is vast, it is nothing!" Another minister said.

······

There are many ministers, and there are as many as seven who say this at this time.

Qin Zheng's slender jade hand suddenly clapped, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "What else does anyone have to say?" ”

Many ministers sensed that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, and they all closed their mouths one by one.

Prime Minister Li Zhi, Imperial Doctor Gan Chenlan, even closed his eyes.

These courtiers dared to say such things at this time, obviously, their career had come to an end.

"Someone!" Qin Zheng's majestic voice sounded, and Yang Ji, the guard captain, immediately entered the Chengtian Hall with a few royal city guards.

"Take down all the rebellious ministers and thieves who are suitable for talking nonsense to the widows!" Qin Zheng's eyes shone with a fierce light, and his body was covered with indescribable majesty.

"The king spares his life!"

These ministers are just some villains, but they have already reacted in an instant, and they know that the faces exposed today are enough to kill them.

"Spare your life? You guys are so careful, but they still can't understand it? Cutting the land and seeking peace, thanks to what you can say, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! Qin Zheng said coldly.

The ministers who said that Xie Yunxiao, Wang Hui, and Wang Jian were guilty suddenly seemed to be in an ice cellar, as if they were frozen, and there was regret in their eyes.

Who is Xie Yunxiao? Who is Wang Jian? Who is Wang Hui?

"If Wang Hui wasn't outside, how could you stand here and talk without backache? The ministers are all well-educated people, can't they see that this is a ploy by the enemy to sow discord? ”

"The widow knows, you can see it, but you are not confused, thinking that in this way, you can get great benefits?"

"There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, Wang Hui is a widow, the old lady is also a widow, Chu and Ning are in a war, and the widow believes in Wang Hui, and even more believes in the master!"

Qin Zheng's words made many ministers dare not talk, but stood aside respectfully.

"Retreat!" Qin Zheng was really angry today, she didn't expect that the current Ningguo Dynasty would still be like this.

In Ning Junzhong, Xie Yunxiao had already received a letter from Xianyang, and when he saw the content on it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then his eyes flashed fiercely.

"What's wrong?" Wang Hui asked.

Xie Yunxiao said: "Over there in Xianyang, someone has participated in you and me!" ”

"Really? I'm curious! Wang Hui said.

Xie Yunxiao said: "Those ministers have all been removed from their official positions by the king and exiled to the army!" ”

"Isn't it a bit too much for the king to do this?" Wang Hui said.

Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "It's right for the king to do this!" ”

"These things, you and the king can control them, my world is in the army, on the battlefield!" Wang Hui said.

When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he just smiled indifferently.

At this moment, Dai Qing came in to report, "The Chu army has come, general, sir, you have to make up your mind!" ”
