Chapter 187

In an unnamed mountain forest in the Chu State, 20,000 high-quality war horses were freed in the mountain forest.

And in the mountains and forests, there are also many soldiers in black armor, these soldiers are wrapped in sleeping bags, and they sleep very hard.

However, outside the forest, there are also people guarding, but if there is any movement, everyone can react at the first time.

"Ah~"

Qin Yu yawned and woke up from his sleeping bag.

This sleeping bag was specially prepared by Qin Yu for elite riding, in order to be used for long-distance running.

After Qin Yu got up, he tied the sleeping bag into a backpack and sat under the tree after throwing it aside.

took out a steamed bun and gnawed it in a big gulp.

I haven't eaten steamed buns for too long, and now I just feel panicked eating and swallowing.

"Alas! This person, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift! I think that at the beginning, when I was staying in Tun, I ate a few steamed buns in a few bites, and I didn't feel like swallowing. ”

Qin Yu said, thumping his chest a few times.

At this time, Han Peng walked back.

"My lord, there is no tail, this place is safe." Han Peng squatted next to Qin Yu and said.

Qin Yu nibbled on the steamed bun and asked, "How far is it from Yingdu at present?" ”

"Four hundred miles away!" Han Peng replied.

Qin Yu nodded, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Let's not go to Yingdu first, let's go north and go to Danyang." ”

"My lord, isn't our target Yingdu? Why spare Danyang, it's too risky. Han Peng asked puzzled.

Qin Yu said: "If you go to Yingdu now, the risk is even greater. ”

"We attacked the Shouchun camp last night, and the people of Chu will be on guard in Yingdu, and now if we go to Yingdu, we will fall into our pockets."

"What the adults said is that I was negligent." Han Peng suddenly understood.

At this time, there was a fluttering sound overhead, and then a carrier pigeon landed on Qin Yu's knee.

Qin Yu reached out and grabbed the carrier pigeon and took the letter off the pigeon's leg.

After releasing the pigeon, the pigeon flew up the branch and walked on the branch with its head in motion.

After Qin Yu opened the letter, he said in a deep voice: "The Chu army has really made a move against the Chu River, and Qin Yuan has already led the troops to fight with the Chu army in the Li River. ”

Qin Yu asked Han Peng to bring the prepared pen and paper, and then wrote a word on the paper: Drag!

It was then re-tied to the pigeon's leg and the pigeon was released.

"My lord, the last general has never understood what is the purpose of our in-depth entry into the Chu State?" Han Peng hesitated for a long time before he asked the doubts in his heart.

He didn't dare to ask before, because he was afraid that Qin Yu would misunderstand his cowardice and drive him out of Jingqi.

But now after seeing a procrastination written by the adult, Han Peng was even more puzzled, so he asked.

Qin Yu said with a smile: "Of course, it's so that Chu Guo can sit down with us and have a good talk." ”

"Some people, if you don't hit his door, he won't sit down with you and have a good talk."

"That's what my lord said." Han Peng smiled, "Then we'll hit his door!" ”

Qin Yu stood up and saw that most of the soldiers had woken up, so he said, "Wake everyone up, move your hands and feet, and eat when you should eat." ”

"No!"

Han Peng immediately ordered to go.

After everyone got up, moved their bodies, and began to eat.

Although it was just steamed buns, everyone still ate very deliciously, after all, there was nothing to eat next to them, only these steamed buns.

······

In Yingdu, the Chu army was already on complete alert.

The speed of the elite cavalry was beyond anyone's expectations.

At the beginning, this elite horse only appeared in the box pavilion, and only two days later, this elite horse has appeared in Hanshou.

You must know that Hanshou is only 500 miles away from Yingdu, which can be said to be close at hand.

After the news of the attack on the Hanshou camp was transmitted back to Yingdu, the entire Yingdu became nervous.

Pedestrians on the streets have fled to their homes.

There were only sergeants patrolling the streets, and caravans hauling goods back to the streets.

In just one hour, the whole city became clean, and even the voices of people rarely appeared on the streets.

The king of Chu called all the ministers of the court into the palace.

"Who can tell the widow! What the hell is going on! ”

Faced with the questioning of the King of Chu, all the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

"A little 10,000 cavalry has penetrated deep into the hinterland of my country! even attacked the Hanshou camp! ”

"Now! The Yingdu of my Chu State must be on guard for the whole city! Don't you people feel a pain in your face! ”

The ministers bowed their heads again and remained silent.

They also know that their faces hurt, but what can be done?

The Hanshou camp was greatly injured by the attack, Xu Hu and Ma Bao are the top generals of the Chu State, and this can't stop this elite cavalry.

So what can they do? Can't lead the soldiers out to die?

Looking at these ministers and generals below, King Chu was extremely disappointed in his heart.

Since Xiang Feng died in battle, the generals of the entire Chu State seem to have a fault, so that the King of Chu does not know who to use.

Originally, the King of Chu also put his hope on Xiang Feng's disciple, Lu Cheng.

However, Lu Cheng's performance in this battle against Tang was simply confused, which made the King of Chu have to doubt Lu Cheng's ability.

Thinking of Lu Cheng, King Chu looked at the original Lu Cheng's position.

The previous position belonged to Xiang Feng, and after Xiang Feng died in battle, the King of Chu let Lu Cheng sit.

Although Lu Cheng's performance did not enter the eyes of the King of Chu this time, the King of Chu did not seize Lu Cheng's position.

First, because Lu Cheng's reputation among the Chu army is too high, it is difficult to move Lu Cheng.

Instead, the king of Chu wanted to support Lu Cheng and use Lu Cheng's prestige as his own sword to curb the three clans of Chu.

"Lu Cheng!" King Chu asked in a deep voice.

Minister Xiang Lin stood up and arched his hand: "King Qiqi, General Lu Cheng is still in the palace at this time to reflect on himself, and he has not been summoned by the king. ”

"Humph! Why don't you call the general soon! King Chu snorted coldly.

"No!"

The palace guards hurriedly ran out.

Soon after, Lu Cheng wore armor and came to the main hall.

"Sinner Lu Cheng, see the king!" When Lu Cheng saw the King of Chu, he knelt directly on the ground and saluted.

Kneel on the ground and salute, only a guilty minister would bow like this.

The King of Chu looked at Lu Cheng, squinted his eyes and asked, "What is the general's crime?" Is it because the widow has snubbed you? ”

"The sinners don't dare!" Lu Cheng hurriedly said, "The minister did not make progress in the battle against Tang, and he knew that he was guilty. ”

"Humph!" King Chu snorted coldly.

"Now that the 10,000 elite horsemen have penetrated deep into the Chu State, and now they are approaching the Yingdu, as the general of my Chu State, do you still want to hide in the mansion to fish?"

Lu Cheng was covered for a while, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to lead the troops to intercept and kill this elite horseman." ”

"How many troops do you need?"

The King of Chu asked this, which was tantamount to handing over the matter to Lu Cheng to deal with.

"The minister needs 50,000 horses, and please ask the king for permission!" When Lu Cheng said this number, he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

After all, the other party only has 10,000 horses, and he needs 50,000 horses.

"That's right."

However, the king of Chu agreed without thinking about it.

The king of Chu continued: "The widow gives you 50,000 horses, if you are defeated, my Chu country will lose face, and the general will not break the face of my Chu country." ”

"No! The minister must go all out! Lu Cheng bowed deeply to the King of Chu.

"Okay, let's go and transfer troops, deal with these 10,000 elite horsemen as soon as possible, don't disturb the people in the city." King Chu waved his hand.
