With Wu Qi's order, the Huaiguo camp immediately became operational. The next day, before dawn, the army was ready to go.

Wu Qi stood on the platform of the generals, ordered the flag to be waved down, and the army set off immediately. In the entire barracks, there was not even the neighing of horses, except for the sound of walking footsteps.

On the Han River Plain, the state of Chu established dozens of cities and camps, and formed three lines of defense. During this time, although Huai State did not attack with all its strength, it was not idle, and these cities and camps of Chu State had long been familiar to Huai State.

This time the army was dispatched, and the camps and villages in Chu State were not prepared at all, not to mention that the original feudal monarch's private soldiers were also taken to the fiefdom, and the original strength was inferior, and now the number is insufficient, how can it be the opponent of Huai State?

For a month in a row, these Chu soldiers had already relaxed their vigilance, so when the Huai army attacked the city, the soldiers of Chu found out.

But by this time, it was already too late. The soldiers struck the gong to inform the enemy to attack, but not even half of the soldiers arrived in the end.

The Huaiguo army will not give you the opportunity to gather the army, and the ladders will advance quickly. However, in a matter of moments, a large number of Huai Guo's first dead soldiers had already rushed to the city wall.

The soldiers of the State of Chu were not at all the opponents of the Huai State who were like wolves and tigers who were the first to die, and they were soon killed and scattered and fled. It was only half an hour before Huai Guo completely captured the city wall and opened the city gate.

The Huai army was dispatched, and several cities at the forefront of the Han River Plain were all broken in just one hour.

After breaking through these camps, the Huai army did not stop, and immediately attacked other camped cities. The cities behind have received the news, and when the Huai State launched an attack, these camps were also prepared.

However, after a month of laxity, and because of the absence of a large number of feudal nobles and insufficient troops, how can he be the opponent of Huaiguo.

Wu Qi commanded the Huai army and broke through the Chu state camps one after another, and the entire cities on the Han River Plain were broken under the attack of the Huai army.

And after breaking through these cities and camps, the army swept away all the fiefdoms on the plain like a strong wind sweeping away leaves.

It only took three days for the defense line of the Han River Plain, which the Chu State had painstakingly managed, to be completely swept away.

The Hanjiang Plain has been lost, the state of Chu is shaking, and everyone is panicking. The king of Chu ordered his ministers to discuss sending troops to resist, and Wu raised troops to divide into two routes, one way to take the capital of Chu State, and the other way to the north to attack the Nanyang Basin.

The king of Chu asked the ministers of the palace: "Ladies and gentlemen, who has the confidence to be able to stop the Huai people's soldiers?" Lone is willing to reward a hundred miles of fiefdom! ”

In the palace of the king of Chu, these ministers who compete for power and profit on weekdays and play with intrigues and tricks, look at me, I look at you, they are all speechless.

Playing politics, these people are all good hands, but if they really let them govern the country, they will only fight for power and profit, let alone lead troops to fight.

Who is Wu Qi? Over the years, the whole state of Chu has already experienced it, when Wu Qi was in the Wei state, he fought the state of Chu and suffered a fiasco, and now that it is the stronger Huai country, how dare they fight against Wu Qi.

Many ministers did not say anything, and then looked at the Qu family in the main hall. As the most noble secretary of the Chu State, Qu Qing was originally supposed to be the leader, but unfortunately, since he supported the reform, these nobles no longer regarded him as the chief of a hundred officials.

But now that it is a crisis, these people still subconsciously look at Qu Qing. It's just that Qu Qing's eyes were closed tightly and he didn't care at all.

The King of Chu looked at these people's gazes, and then said, "Qu Qing, do you have a good strategy to resist the Huai army?" ”

Qu Qing opened his eyes, and before he could start speaking, several voices suddenly came from the hall.

"No!"

"No, your king!"

Several other nobles suddenly spoke out against it.

You must know that the last time Qu Qing and the Xiang family used the power of Wei to kill most of the private armies of the nobles of Chu, which allowed the king of Chu to implement the law change in Chu.

With the lessons of the past, how could these nobles still let the Qu clan be in charge of the army? What's more, if they agree to Qu Clan to command the army, they will have to hand over the power to Qu Clan, which is something they are not willing to do at all.

The threat brought by Huai State is big, but now Chu State still has tens of thousands of troops in Yingdu, as well as reinforcements from Sanjin and Qi States, if they really want to fight, Huai State may not be able to win, but what if Qu is allowed to control the army, what if they solve themselves with their backhand?

You must know that the bones of the first king are not cold, but they have made a big drama to kill Jing Mu, so they dare not rest assured and let the Qu family lead the troops.

The defeat of the state of Chu was certainly painful, but the success of the Qu family was even more unacceptable.

Which is more important, the great nobles of Chu are very clear.

Hearing that these nobles and nobles were blocked, the king of Chu's face turned red, and he immediately said loudly: "The state of Chu has reached the time of life and death, after the army of the Huai State captures the capital of Ying, will it let us go?" ”

"Now the princes are unwilling to fight against Huai, and when the Huai people break through Chudu, we are all prisoners of Huai, and at that time, life and death will be in the hands of others."

"The widow is the king of Chu, maybe he can rely on the ancestor sacrifice to get the approval of the Huai State to keep a life and use it to sacrifice the Chu State, can you nobles still go to the Huai State to be nobles?"

The words of the King of Chu are very correct, according to the tradition of destroying the country and leaving the worship in this era, even if the Chu State is destroyed, the Huai State will leave the King of Chu to worship. After all, when Bang Zhou destroyed Shang, he did the same.

Huai Guo destroyed countless countries this year, and he did the same, destroying the country, leaving the clan to sacrifice, and all the others moved away and degraded as ordinary people.

It's just that the king of Chu said a lot, but for them he wouldn't agree at all. If they could be reasonable, the Chu State would have completely implemented the law change a long time ago, and there would be no more today's things.

Meat eaters despise, this sentence is not to say.

Greedy, short-sighted, power-seeking. These people do one thing after another that makes people look stupid. You think it's completely wrong, but in their eyes, it's right. Their approach is entirely in line with their class. The ass decides the head.

These nobles would rather die later than hand over power to Qu Qing.

Several big nobles of Chu State immediately said: "It's not that we don't want to be the king, but that we can't trust Qu Qing!" The minister was willing to lead the army to protect the capital with the enthroned minister. As long as we hold the capital for a period of time, the Sanjin coalition army and the Qi army will come to the rescue, and when the time comes, Huai will naturally retreat without a fight! ”

The king of Chu is completely dead, this group of insects has no value to save!

The state of Chu has suffered successive defeats, the morale of the soldiers is low, and it has become a frightened bird, how can it be the opponent of the Huai army? Expecting them to defend Yingdu is just a pipe dream.
