Chapter 421: Hegemony: King Qin's Wrath
Eight hundred miles of urgency, not daring to slack off, from the south of the county fast horse gallop, jumped over the Huaichuan River by boat, and went straight to Jingzhou City.
The distance between Jingzhou City and Nanxia County is not very far, it is nothing more than the middle, separated by an insurmountable Huaichuan River.
Fortunately, at this time, the Huaichuan River, with the victory of the Qin River War, the waters of Jingzhou have been completely occupied by Yu Haoming's sailors. Old! In order to facilitate the communication between Jingzhou City and Nanxia County, Dongfang Yu specially asked the sailors of the Qin State to arrange a boat branch to cross the river, on both sides of the river.
At this time, in Jingzhou City, the soldiers of the three armies were repairing. Due to the very fast advance of the Qin army, in less than two months, it went straight to Jingzhou.
So much so that the Liao Kingdom and Northern Yan in the north have not had time to do it. Of course! Half a month ago, Dongfang Yu also received a letter from Wei Qing.
It is written in the letter that the Great Liao in the north is about to move, and the Northern Yan in Liaodong is also mobilizing troops. There are quite a few troops on both sides, and their movements and intentions can be said to be obvious.
Of course! So far, there have been no major wars in the north, just say! The smell of gunpowder is strong, but it is quite strong. Now! The main forces of the Qin State are all in the domain of Jingzhou, yet! The northern part is the foundation of the Qin State, and there is no room for half a point difference. This couldn't help but make Wei Qing extremely vigilant.
After all! Sun Yan, the Duke of Northern Yan, is a fox. A fox who is more cunning than Cook and knows how many times.
The 800-mile rush from Nanxia County took only half a day to arrive at Jingzhou City, and directly arrived at Jingzhou Palace.
"General Li Jing, urgent news, please take me quickly and meet the king." The soldier kicked angrily and said directly to the guards guarding the palace.
For the eight-hundred-mile expeditious, Dongfang Yu specially ordered that he should be treated specially.
And seeing the latter's face, it was extremely urgent, and it was by no means a trivial matter.
"Come in with me, and I'll take you to the king." The guard said.
Immediately! It was one man who opened the way and went towards the inner sanctum.
This palace was originally the mansion of King Chen Dongfangjie, isn't this the defeat of King Chen? It has become a place for Dongfang Yu and others to live temporarily.
However, I have to say that the palace where this guy lives, although it is not as big as the Qin Palace, is full of things, but it is much more magnificent than the Qin Palace. What kind of decoration, as luxurious as it can be!
Da! Da! Da!
At this time, Dongfang Yu was secretly discussing matters with Xu Meng, Zhuge Xuanyu and other generals and ministers, whether to decide to go to Chu State, or retreat to Beiliang, and give up! After recuperation, he went on a crusade to the east.
Well!
Outside, a hurried knock was heard at the door, and the words of the crowd paused for a moment.
"King Qiyu, under the command of General Li Jing, eight hundred miles is urgent, and I have something important to ask to see the king."
It turned out to be Li Jing's soldiers.
"Come in!" Listening to his tone, it seems that this matter is not ordinary urgency!
Crunch!
The doors of the temple were wide open.
Eight hundred miles were urgent, and I hurriedly ran in, suddenly! It is a letter that is taken out and placed in the bosom.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Dongfang Yu's brows tightened, and he seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.
"The king, General Lantian, and 20,000 soldiers of the Qin State, after annihilating more than 30,000 people of the Chu State, all of them died in battle. General Lantian killed himself. This is a letter from General Li Jing. ”
"Please make up your mind with the king." The soldier said directly.
And hearing the news of Lantian dying in battle, Dongfang Yu's face was extremely flat. But looking at it, he could clearly feel that the coldness emanating from King Qin's body, as well as the aura accumulated after many years of battlefield killing, were so thick and pure.
"Ziyuan, present it." Dongfang Yu said lightly.
But everyone knows that their king's heart is holding back a fire! A raging fire that seems to be able to swallow the heavens and the earth.
The calmer the King of Qin, the more terrifying.
By Dongfang Yu's side, the veterans and ministers who had followed him for so many years understood angrily that this time, the Chu State was really going to suffer.
Xuan Ziyuan presented the letter to Dongfang Yu.
Spread out and take a look, Dongfang Yu originally wanted to suspend the attack on the Chu State, but now, he still postponed it.
"Xiao Huangqi, the governor of Chu State, kill my favorite general...... If this is the end of the matter! Lone is not worthy to be the king of Great Qin. Dongfang Yu said sharply.
Cracking sound.
On the side, Yuwen Hu's fist was also clenched tightly, and a crackling, crisp bone sound was spreading around.
He and Lantian followed Dongfang Yu very early, and the relationship between the two was as iron as that of their own brothers.
Now, his brother is just let others kill him, how can he, the eldest brother, sit idly by.
Yuwen Hu took a step directly, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly hugged his fists and said: "King, Lantian is the earliest general who followed you, and now!" was killed by the State of Chu, and asked the king to send troops to destroy the State of Chu! ”
"If not! The king can take 100,000 soldiers and horses with his ministers, and let the ministers kill him Xiao Huangqi to avenge Lantian. ”
The current Yuwen Hu is really carried away by anger and hatred.
The battle to destroy the country is not just about fighting, the current attack on Chu, the general strategy, has not yet been formulated, it is not appropriate to attack Chu so quickly.
At the very least, a buffer of a month.
And in this month's time, in addition to reorganizing the army for war, it can also completely integrate the Jingzhou army into the Qin army.
"Retreat, whether to fight Chu or not, let Lone decide!" Dongfang Yu was very annoyed, and Yuwen Hu used this attitude to talk to him.
"Yuwen Hu..."Xu Meng was in a hurry, and quietly glanced at Yuwen Hu.
Dongfang Yu's temper, no one knows it better than Xu Meng.
He knows that this king of theirs, don't look usually amiable, once he starts a fire, he really doesn't recognize his six relatives!
Also, if you dare to decide matters for King Qin, your Yuwen Hu's brain has a few enough to cut.
What does Yuwen Hu seem to understand?
Immediately retreated.
"Great King, it is better to attack the State of Chu sooner rather than later, according to the views of the ministers, the movements of Xiao Huangqi, the governor of the State of Chu, originally intended to quietly collect the four southern counties of Jingzhou when the Qin State and the Chen State were in a big war."
"But I didn't expect that the speed of Qin's attack would be so fast. thus disrupting Xiao Huangqi's plan to take the four counties of Jingzhou. ”
"Focusing on the overall situation, I returned to Yuezhou." Zhuge Xuanyu analyzed, "If Ruochen is good, Xiao Huangqi at this time is already ready to return to Jinling. The Qin State is powerful, and with Xiao Huangqi's shrewdness, it is natural to calculate that the strength of the Chu State alone is not enough to resist Qin. ”
"What Mr. Zhuge means is that he Xiao Huangqi will send envoys to Wu and Yue, so as to form an alliance and jointly resist Qin." Dongfang Yu asked.
If this is the case, the alliance of the three hegemons in Jiangdong is not a good thing.
