More than ten days later, Kong Mingshuai led the direct team to finally return to the Chu capital, at this time the Chu capital has been surrounded by the 300,000 troops of the Harvey Empire, Pang Longye is a famous general of the Harvey Empire, after the siege of Chudu, he did not directly attack the city, but constantly strengthened the fortifications on the periphery, surrounded by three missing one, and stepped up the time to prepare the magic scrolls needed for the siege, at the same time, he continued to send spies and lobbyists, in various names or gaps into the Chu capital, owing to the nobles of the Chu State, contacting all parties, in order to capture the Chu State at the lowest cost, and let the Chu people submit。 You must know that occupation and possession are completely different things, a few decades ago, Harvey also conquered this capital and occupied the entire Chu State, but in the end, the Chu people were driven out of the Chu State and suffered heavy losses, and now of course I don't want to repeat this history again. So they changed their strategy, wanting to rule Chu with the Chu people, and then completely assimilate and possess it after a short period of time, so when he led the Harvey army to this capital, he did not rush to attack this already stormy Chu capital, but surrounded the three missing one, so that those people of the main battle faction saw hope, let them gather the main battle people of the whole country here, and the intention was to fight a war, if the facts were as they expected in advance, then after this battle, the Chu State would no longer have the power to resist, and the things after the war would become relatively easy, otherwise, they may once again face the Chu State of the whole country, which would be another quagmire of war. And this has another effect, that is, to give a signal to those nobles of the Chu State, Harvey just wants to occupy, their lives are not in danger, even if the capital is breached, their lives are still guaranteed, in this situation of not falling into death, the main battle and the main peace faction will inevitably give birth to different opinions, and this opinion will also go deeper with the passage of time, and even fall into the civil war, at that time, the kind of righteous people who defend the Chu State with their lives will inevitably lose confidence in this and despair of the Chu State, so that the danger of occupation can be reduced, and a divided Chu State is more conducive to their ruleOn the contrary, if the Harvey Empire presses too hard, the two factions will work together to deal with Harvey, although Harvey can also win, but the sequelae are too heavy, and history will repeat itself. The Harvey Empire used a yang scheme, which is a well-known yang scheme, but knowing is knowing, people's selfishness determines that they still can't find a solution, because at this time, the two factions have long been caught in constant mutual attacks, and those who are disappointed in the Chu State have fled the country, and even fled to the Huayuan Empire to take refuge.

At this time, Kong Ming returned to Chudu with his army from the gap. When they entered the Chu capital, they were asked by the city guards who made Harvey's spies nervous, and it was a proof and a guarantee, and they did it for a long time, and finally after proving it again, Kong Ming could finally enter the city with the army. Kong Ming followed the guide of the city guard, and after taking the army to a garrison point, he took three people to report to the military headquarters, you must know that this is a necessary procedure, otherwise, the military department will not recognize such an army, in other words, if Kong Ming does not bring people to report, then the army he brought will become a rebel. Walking on the streets of Chudu, the streets were deserted, only a few weapons were spread out and the doors were opened, and the others were closed early, and those who wanted to come to those places either walked or did not dare to open the doors, and in such days of war and chaos, who could guarantee their own survival? Even the Grand Duke was now in danger, not to mention those ordinary people, who occasionally walked by in a hurry, as if there was something dangerous on the street. Other than that, there are the soldiers who patrol the streets, constantly examining the people who pass by, trying to find something wrong with them. Of course, he also swept over the faces of Kong Ming and the others, and just wanted to come over for interrogation, but he stopped again, looked at Kong Ming's epaulettes, and hurriedly gave a military salute to Kong Ming and the others, and led the team to another place.

Kong Ming could not see a trace of desire for victory from their faces, but was deeply disappointed in this war, indeed, Kong Ming was even more deeply disappointed in this war, because Kong Ming was one of the people who experienced this war from beginning to end, for many places in this battle, although Kong Ming had not thought clearly for a while, but a few points were certain, one is that the Chu generals were incompetent and could not lead the Chu army to achieve a victory, and the other was that there were Harvey's spies at the top of the Chu State, but the Chu State had not caught them, but let them drag down the front line, making the already inferior Chu Army even worse, and finally, the most important point, that is the disappointment of the people of Chu for Chu. Looking at this Chu Du, who was very different from the last time he came, Kong Ming couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings. In the capital of a country, the final decisive place of a war, if you can't unite as one, then you won't be far from the city and the country, and I don't know what happened to that cheap classmate now, if he can't unite most of them, then he may be the fallen prince of Chu.

"Commander, it seems that this shape is not quite right!" Jin Qiming said.

"It's definitely not right, you see their faces are all dead, there is no trace of the murderous aura that a warrior should have, I think if this continues, if the enemy is not attacked, they will collapse themselves. Kong Ming said.

"It's not that strict. Kate wondered.

"Hmph, where have these people seen the tearing of the army, it's just a small fight, and it doesn't have much to do with them, so they always look high, and now the enemy Chen Bing is outside the city, the fear in his heart is also increasing day by day, and his face is also showing death, and this kind of thing is easily contagious. Once this kind of thing is put in their hearts, then even a small child with a wooden sword on their neck, they will not dare to resist, this is a kind of sadness. Deng Qichen explained.

His words caused the three of them to fall into deep thought at the same time, and after a while, Kate said, "In that case, it should be a wrong choice for us to go back to Chu." ”

"A terrible choice indeed. Kong Ming smiled bitterly.

"There's no other way?" asked Kate.

You must know that as a soldier, you must have the consciousness of dying in battle, but if you die in battle, there is no value, and not everyone is willing to die senselessly, which is completely different from honor.

"Let's see, we will not make some unnecessary sacrifices, we just hope that the support of other countries will come faster, but if we don't get rid of those traitors one day, I think defeat is still inevitable. Kong Ming said helplessly.

When everyone was talking, they unconsciously came to the front of the palace, in the square in front of the palace, gathered a lot of people, different ages, but mainly those young people in their twenties, in the gathered crowd, there were many people holding some inspirational banners, and in the center of the square, those people used a few simple boxes to set up a platform more than two meters high, on which a few young people were giving passionate speeches, the content was nothing more than the language of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, coexisting and dying with the country, and their words also spread to the entire square through guò magic, so Kong Ming and the others could hear it clearly even if they were far awayUnder the passionate words, the voices in the square were also extremely high, and even when Kong Ming and the others wanted to bypass them and enter the palace, there were also many peripheral members, constantly waving flags, and constantly shouting some encouraging words towards the four people. It's a pity that these are just the words of some children for the four people of Kong Ming, you must know that no matter how passionate and powerful this kind of person is here, but they are just saying it after all, if Kong Ming is also so passionate on the battlefield, then they would have died in those battles a long time ago, where would they still live until now? So there are some things that can be said, you can say a lot, but you can't do it, otherwise, you will one day find that those who speak can say it freely, and your little life is no longer your own. No matter how good the words are, no matter how good the encouragement is, they can't get rid of the difficulties of the palace. It's just to make the city less lonely in the midst of war.
