"Childe Cheng Chan." Chu Wang Han was silent for a few breaths before he sighed regretfully: "It's a pity." ”

"If Wen Xinhou (Lü Buwei) had a more ruthless heart, now it may not be Chang'anjun who led the Qin army to attack Shouchun City, but Chang'an Jun who led the Chu army to attack Xianyang City!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager Xia died, the Empress Dowager Huayang completed negotiations with King Chu Kaolie.

King Chu Kaolie expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of Ying Cheng Chan and has increased troops on the Qin-Chu border and the Chu-Han border, preparing to lead Ying Cheng Chan into Chu.

It's a pity that Ying Chengcheng forced Lü Buwei to compromise through the war of exterminating Korea, and won over the Qin royal family through the suture delivery technique and the support of Ying Zheng, and gained a firm foothold in the Qin State.

In the past, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State mentioned this matter, but it was a pity that they could not use Ying Chengcheng as a springboard, so as to indirectly participate in the seizure of power within Great Qin.

But today, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State suddenly realized.

Ying Chengcheng's greatest value is not his political status in Daqin, but his own war talent and military literacy!

If this had been known, the state of Chu would have lobbied the important ministers and dignitaries of the state of Qin with all its might, and even increased troops to aid Han to extinguish the strategic plan of Ying Chengcheng, and also forced Ying Chengcheng to come to the state of Chu!

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Chu Wang Han could only watch the Qin army garrison under Shouchun City, and asked solemnly: "Do you have any good advice?" ”

Jing Chou immediately said: "The ministers admonished, and ordered Shangzhu State to immediately lead the army back to Shouchun City!" ”

Li Yuan shook his head: "The Qin army is only more than 60,000, but I have more than 50,000 soldiers in Shouchun City." ”

"Why do you want to transfer the Zhuguo Department to help?"

"The ministers admonished, and ordered the princes and princes to send private troops to aid Shouchun!"

The king of Chu bowed slightly: "Aiqing is reasonable. ”

Li Yuan immediately bowed to Jing Chou and arched his hand: "Please Jing Mo Ao as an example!" ”

Jing Chou said with a face full of shame: "Jing's food was flooded last year, and the harvest was greatly reduced, so it is really difficult to send private soldiers again. ”

"And my Jing clan's private soldiers have fought many fierce battles, with a lot of battle losses and demoralization, and it is really difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of defending the city!"

Didn't Jing Chou know that it shouldn't affect Xiang Yan, who was commanding the troops outside?

He knows better than Chu Wang Han!

But the total number of soldiers, county soldiers, and guards in Shouchun City is only 10,000, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses are Jing's private soldiers.

If Xiang Yan does not return to help, this battle will definitely be carried out with Jing's private soldiers as the main force to defend the city, supplemented by the regular army and county soldiers.

It was the capital of the king of Chu who guarded, but the dead were all Jing's soldiers and horses.

Isn't that a big loss for the Jing family!

The king of Chu said in a deep voice: "The widow is willing to take out fifty percent of the gains in this battle and share the profit with the number of private soldiers sent by the princes." ”

"In addition, the brave clan in this battle can send twenty women to the palace as concubines."

"If Jing Mo Ao can defend Shouchun City for the widow, the widow should promote Jing Mo Ao to be my Great Chu Youyin!"

Chu Wang Han gave his conditions, but Jing Chou only felt ridiculous.

Qu has two hearts, and it is unknown whether he can win this battle.

Take out fifty percent of the gains in this battle in exchange for Jing's private soldiers to defend the city?

Isn't that a proper pie to draw!

As for the position of the right Yin, Jing Chou was a little excited, but not much.

Right Yin is just Ling Yin's deputy, and Li Yuan can only completely let Jing Chou, the Right Yin, do the same as if he didn't.

More importantly, Jing Chou's early withdrawal of troops was for the sake of Xingshi's accountability.

But to this day, Chu Wang Han has not clearly expressed his support for the Jing clan and the punishment of Xiang Yan and Qu clan, and Jing Chou has no motivation to fight for Chu Wang Clan!

Jing Chou arched his hand with a grateful face: "King Rende!" ”

"Although my Jing's food town has suffered a disaster, the morale of Jing's private soldiers is turbulent."

"But Da Chu is in trouble, how can his subordinates stand by and watch!"

"The minister will reorganize the soldiers and horses, and he will definitely be able to select five thousand soldiers who can fight!"

The King of Chu glared angrily: "Five thousand?!" ”

Jing Chou said sincerely: "This is the responsibility of the Jing family, and the minister will never dare to take credit!" ”

The anger in Chu Wanghan's heart soared.

As a big clan of the Chu State, even if the Jing clan has already requisitioned 70,000 private soldiers, it is really urgent, at least 350,000 more elite soldiers can be pulled.

But now, Jing Chou is not only unwilling to squeeze Jing's strength anymore, but even the private soldiers who have been requisitioned are unwilling to mobilize?!

Didn't you send Hanako?

The king of Chu was about to scold, but Zhao Clan's patriarch Zhao Cen suddenly spoke calmly: "The Zhao clan's food is even plagued by bandits this year, and it is difficult to send troops. ”

The patriarchs of the two major clans expressed their positions, and the other small clans immediately lost their scruples and spoke one after another.

There are a variety of reasons, and each one is reasonable and impossible to fault.

But the final result was that dozens of minor nobles combined only requisitioned 500 private soldiers, and it is unknown when they will arrive in Shouchun City.

Chu Wang Han could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, pointed to the Qin army outside the city, which had begun to erect siege equipment, and shouted: "Now the Qin army has come to the city, and I am forced to be the capital of Chu with troops!" ”

"You Aiqing claim to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic ministers, but you are unwilling to fight for the country?!"

"At the time of the national crisis, I should unite in order to get through the difficulties."

"If the Qin army is allowed to run rampant, the next one to be attacked will be your Aiqing's food estate!"

What Chu Wang Han said was sincere, but Jing Chou and the others had no waves, they just made a guilty expression and bowed their hands: "It's the incompetence of the ministers!" ”

The leaders of the nobility were sincere, but what they did was scoundrel.

Chu Wanghan suddenly became less angry.

Didn't the widow already know what the faces of these nobles were?

The widow should not have that glimmer of hope.

King Chu's face calmed down, and he said lightly: "That widow will guard Shouchun City with all your loyal ministers. ”

Jing Chou hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The minister will ask Shangzhu to come back again!" ”

Zhao Cen and the others bowed their hands together: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

On the premise of not harming the vital interests of the nobles, the nobles still hoped that the Chu State could hold Shouchun City, after all, they were now in Shouchun City.

And this, Xiang Yan's support is needed.

King Han of Chu smiled: "Looking at the current battle situation, there is no need to send the Shangzhu Kingdom back for help. ”

"Since Chang'anjun has led troops to hoard outside Shouchun City, the rear strength of the Qin army must be relatively small."

"If I hold on to Shouchun City for one more day, Shangzhu Country will have an advantage for one more day, and maybe I will be able to present a big victory for the widow because of this!"

Jing Chou and the others looked at each other.

The truth is this.

But our nobles don't send troops, only with the 10,000 regular troops in Shouchun City, you take the lead and hold on!

Suddenly, a roar rang out from inside the city.

"Who dares to touch my Jing clan patriarch!"

Landscape: !!

Jing Chou quickly ran to the inside of the city wall, and was shocked to find that Jing's private soldiers, who should have been amassing troops outside the east city gate, actually appeared in the city and were rushing towards the city wall.

Jing Chou shouted angrily: "Jing Li, what are you doing!" ”

Seeing Jing Chou standing upright on the city wall from a distance, Jing Li was also stunned when he heard Jing Chou's roar in his ears.

"Didn't you say that the king ordered the patriarch to be beheaded, and the patriarch is leading his family to support it?"

Jing Li looked at Zhuang An in disbelief: "This is what you call the patriarch who is struggling to support?" ”

Zhuang An smiled: "If you don't say that, how can the captain lead the army into the city?" ”

Three quarters of an hour ago, Zhuang An, a hundred generals of the family, rushed into the Jing military camp covered in blood, and loudly asked the king of Chu to join forces with Qu and Zhao Er to coerce Jing Chou, and intended to arrest Jing Chou for questioning.

Jing Chou refused to be captured and was leading his soldiers to resist desperately.

Although Zhuang An failed to come up with the transfer certificate, the reason given by Zhuang An was not flawed, and Zhuang An kept urging Jing Li to make a quick decision with Jing Chou's life safety.

In the end, considering that although Zhuang An was not a member of the Jing clan, he had been diligent and honest for more than ten years, Jing Li finally raised 20,000 troops to enter Shouchun City for the safety of Jing Chou.

As a result, the current situation is completely different from what Zhuang An described!

Jing Li shouted angrily: "No wonder the East City Gate has been opened without attacking!" ”

"No wonder there are no soldiers and horses in the city to stop our troops!"

"You little maid, the beast that is inferior to the pig dog, betrayed the Jing family!"

Zhuang An sneered and laughed: "How can you ever be loyal to the Jing family!" ”

Zhuang An took a step forward and stared at Jing Li with dead eyes: "You are nobles, you can trample on us and others wantonly!" ”

"When a certain lover was pregnant, he was pulled by your Jing's children to play with it."

"For the sake of the baby, I put up with it."

"But the baby is only eight years old, and just because of her outstanding appearance, she was caught in the mansion by your Jing's children."

"When she comes home again, she'll be a corpse."

"I don't want to endure it, and I don't have to endure it!"

"So I went to make a dog for Jing's, step by step, ......"

Without waiting for Zhuang An to finish speaking, Jing Li had already pierced Zhuang An's throat with a sword!

Many of the nobles of the Chu State did not regard Li Min as a creature of the same species at all.

Just like Xiang Yu, who has not yet been born, after slaughtering the city, burning the city, killing and surrendering soldiers, and invading the head of Qian, the nobles of Chu still think that Xiang Yu is their great hero, and even think that Xiang Yu has a noble character and is sympathetic to the people.

No matter how tragic the experience of ordinary people is, it can't make the nobles, including Jing Li, have the slightest sympathy!

Jing Li just stirred the blade of the sword and asked angrily: "Just because my Jing clan disciples killed your lover and daughter, you dare to betray my Jing clan?!" ”

"You brute!"

Zhuang An wanted to ask rhetorically.

Isn't that enough?

But Zhuang An's words behind him all turned into a harsh sound of airflow.

"Ho~ho~~"

Covering his neck, Zhuang An looked at the city with a smile and slowly fell to the ground.

The king, so-and-so fulfilled the promise of so-and-so.

Please also ask the king to promise!

At the head of Shouchun City, the king of Chu looked down at Jing's private soldiers, and said with a smile: "The widow has not mistakenly believed in Jing's. ”

"The Jing clan deserves to be a loyal and patriotic family!"

"Widow, my heart is very comforting!"

Regarding Zhuang An's death, Chu Wanghan did not have any waves in his heart.

Chu Wanghan had never even heard the name 'Zhuang An'.

There should be a lot of things that Chu Wang Han can buy, and Zhuang An is just the best one to buy.

Even if Zhuang An repented, Chu Wanghan's plan would be carried out by others.

Jing Chou's voice was contemplative: "Thank you for the praise of the king, Jing's loyal and patriotic heart is not the slightest false." ”

"However, the Jing family's private soldiers have long been exhausted, and they are really incapable of fighting again."

Jing Chou spoke loudly: "Order!" ”

"Jing's Divisions ......"

The king of Chu laughed loudly, and used laughter to cover the words behind Jing Chou.

"Hahaha~"

"Worthy of being my Dachu soldier!"

"With such loyal and patriotic people, what is there to fear from the Qin army?"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Order Yin Li Yuan to be the commander-in-chief, and command all the soldiers and horses of Dachu to resist the Qin army!"

"The ordnance goes up to the city wall, the guards guard the city, and the widow personally supervises the battle."

"The bravest man in this battle, regardless of his origin! Regardless of official positions! All can be sealed! ”
