Chapter 154: Retreat!
"What, the Six Princes were captured? The Qingshui River is lost! ”
After listening to the words of the messenger, Chu Kang almost didn't catch his breath, and sat down on the chair, his head tilted, like a decadent old man in his seventies and eighties.
In the tent, the generals of the Chu army were dumbfounded, obviously not believing in this matter.
But one herald after another brought back the news, and they had to believe it if they didn't believe it.
The sixth prince, Chu Yan, was really captured!
For the first time, Chu Jun felt what despair was!
Entering the Yunzhou battle, they won consecutive battles, no one could stop the pace of the Chu army's attack, and it seemed that the last step was missing, and the city of Pingyi was almost captured, and the entire Yunzhou was about to be stripped from Daji.
But......
But what have you experienced in the past month or so?
The 100,000 bandits of Yao Wu on the northern front were all defeated!
General Liang Chuan is in distress in Hukou Gorge!
Pingyang Valley, Qingshui River was lost one after another.
Now, the sixth prince Chu Yan has been captured!
Chu Yan is the most beloved prince of the Chu Emperor, and the Chu Emperor will definitely give up the strategic achievements of the Chu army in Yunzhou, and will definitely agree to all kinds of unreasonable demands put forward by Daji.
Their efforts will be in the dust, and they will be dissipated by the wind.
"Handsome! You can't just lose like that! Before the news has been transmitted back to China, it is better to just ignore the capture of the six princes! On the same day, we will attack Pingyi City, and we will definitely be able to defeat it! ”
A Chu army general had red eyes and roared.
I don't want to give up Pingyi City, which is at my fingertips.
As soon as these words came out, several generals immediately nodded in agreement.
But many more people are silent and bowing their heads.
Chu Kang only felt that his body was trembling slightly, how could he not want to immediately order an attack on Pingyi City.
But in that case...... The life of the six princes could not be saved.
"Retire...... bar. ”
"Dashuai!"
The general of the Chu army hurriedly said with a white face, and took a step forward, wanting to make a final struggle.
Chu Kang stood up, a pair of tiger eyes glared, and his voice couldn't help but increase a few points:
"Ben Shuai said, retire!"
That night, the Chu army began to pull out the camp, left Pingyi City, and retreated south one after another.
As for Chu Yan, the sixth prince, he could only return to China through negotiations in exchange for prisoners in the future.
It can be said that it was the sixth prince Chu Yan who single-handedly decided the situation in the entire Yunzhou!
Three days later, Chen Chao led his men into Pingyi City.
Zhou Mi led the generals and the people of the city to give a deep salute to the Chen Dynasty.
If it weren't for the Chen Dynasty this time, Pingyi City would be flattened by the Chu army soon.
Everything in Pingyi City will cease to exist.
The Chen Dynasty single-handedly saved the city of Pingyi and saved the situation in Yunzhou.
"Marshal, this is the ...... outside"
Chen Chao helped Zhou Mi up with a smile, and then the two entered a deep mansion compound in the city - Zhou Mi's command post.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Chu Yan, the sixth prince, and several captured Chu generals, sitting peacefully in the room.
Chu Yan still had the appearance of no one in his eyes and his arrogant expression.
Although his hands were tied behind his back, he didn't feel conscious of being a prisoner at all.
Hunched one leg, and ordered the general of Daji in the house to feed him water.
On the other hand, those Chu generals lowered their heads in shame and did not say a word.
"Why are they here?" Chen Chao asked.
Zhou Mi put his hands behind his back and replied with a smile: "Temporarily detain here, take care of it for a while, and when all the Chu troops outside the city are evacuated, they will be secretly escorted back to the capital!" ”
Pingyi City is not absolutely safe now, perhaps, there are many Chu army spies and meticulous workers in the city, and they will definitely find a way to rescue Chu Yan.
Zhou Mi's command post is the safest place in the city.
Even if those spies find out where Chu Yan is being held, they will be helpless.
"What did you say, Marshal Chu withdrew!?"
A Chu general stood up with a snort, his face full of disbelief.
The Chu army of the Three Thousand Gorges will arrive soon, and it will be easy to break through the siege at that time.
The meat that has already reached his mouth, Marshal Chu will not understand this truth, why should he withdraw at this time?!
"What are you waiting for if you don't evacuate? He is in our hands, and your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is very valuable. ”
In the room, General Daji laughed. It can be said that in the battle of Yunzhou, Chu Kang was completely pitted by the six princes.
If it weren't for him, Chu Kang would have been able to defeat Yunzhou and go back to make a difference.
At this time, the captured generals of the Chu army understood, and at the same time their eyes widened and glared at Chu Yan angrily:
"Your Highness, you have done a good thing!"
Chu Yan didn't care at all, he didn't even have a trace of shame, he glanced at the generals of the Chu army, and he was still unprepared.
"What are you doing looking at this prince like this? Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us, my father will definitely redeem me!" At that time, this prince will say a few kind words for you in front of his father, and give you an official and a knight, which is no less than the credit you have gained by laying down Yunzhou. ”
The generals of the Chu army frowned slightly, and their faces were displeased.
If the state of Chu is in the hands of such a person, it will not be far from destroying the country.
Zhou Mi waved his hand and asked someone to take them down for the time being, and they were served with good food and drink.
These are all capital for future negotiations.
will definitely be able to slaughter the Chu State fiercely!
After the people were taken down, Chen Chao and Zhou Miping retreated, leaving only two or three henchmen.
Chen Chao waved his hand and asked Hou Ji to bring people up.
With a pop, You Zhong was thrown in the middle of the crowd, his whole body was tied with ropes, and he kept squirming on the ground like a meat dumpling.
When the other uninformed generals saw it, they all looked puzzled, but when they saw that Zhou Mi didn't say anything, they didn't dare to speak nonsense.
Chen Chao and Zhou Mi sat down on their own, and Hou Ji took the contents from You Zhong's mouth.
You Zhong coughed violently twice, and squirmed to Zhou Mi, "Dashuai save me, Chen Chao took his subordinates indiscriminately, and even General Wu was beaten half to death by him, he is ......"
Without waiting for him to speak more, Zhou Mi glanced at You Zhong with disgust.
Before the army entered the city, Chen Chao had already written everything into a letter and handed it to Zhou Mi.
Zhou Mi was surprised when he saw the letter.
But after three days of digestion, this matter has eighty percent credibility.
You Zhong, this guy, turned out to be the person of Yan Wang Li Yu!
"Marshal, Chen Chao him, he killed the Chu army prisoners...... He killed Chu prisoners in front of tens of thousands of people, he is trying to push us into the forefront and let us be spurned by the world! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant commotion in the house.
Everyone looked at Chen Chao, who had an indifferent face and drank tea slowly.
Kill captives?
How dare he?!
Zhou Mi sighed and said for Chen Chao:
"Nothing happens!"
You Zhong was anxious, squirmed forward, and rubbed his head against Zhou Mi's legs.
"Dashuai, it's true, it's true! Not only did his subordinates see it, but tens of thousands of people on both sides of the strait saw it, and they could find someone to come over and confront him, Chen Chao really killed the prisoner! ”
"Shut up!"
Zhou Mi was angry and kicked You Zhong.
After so many years, he has always treated You Zhong as a confidant, and asked him to serve as a supervisor in the army of the Northern Front.
Now that I think about it, I really fed an immature dog!
Zhou Mi said in a deep voice:
"General Chen is brave and strategic, and he has never killed prisoners! Those captives who were killed were stakes! ”
As he spoke, Hou Ji and the others brought up a few sacks of wooden people and a few blood bags.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized, and You Zhong was desperate!
Shao leaning, You Zhong seemed to have caught some handle of Chen Chao again, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said:
"Dashuai, Chen Chao him, he collaborated with the enemy and treason!"
"Among his victorious army, there are three thousand Qin army crossbowmen!"
Crash!
Many people in the room stood up and tried to draw their knives.
This news was like a bombshell, almost blowing people up.
Qin Jun?
There is a Qin army in the victorious army?!
Daji and the Qin State are mortal enemies, sworn enemies for a hundred years, and the Chen Dynasty actually collaborated with the enemy?!
Chen Chao smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and then looked at Zhou Mi.
Zhou Mi smacked his lips and reached out to scratch his eyebrows...... Chen Chao is here, won't he take the initiative to explain? I had to ask the old man to speak for him.
In that letter, the matter of Qin Jun was naturally mentioned.
When Zhou Mi first heard this, his reaction was the same as that of the current group of generals.
But after relieving himself, Zhou Mi only felt that Chen Chao was a talent!
The Chu army can sneak into the territory of Yunzhou and pretend to be bandits, why can't our army ask the Qin army to come over to help?! Although the two countries are mortal enemies, there has been no dispute between the two countries in recent years.
What's more, there is Qin Jun joining.
Daki is the beneficiary, so why not?
Therefore, Zhou Mi just opened his eyes and closed his eyes.
But now it's too cumbersome to explain to anyone, so he simply said:
"General Chen did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, the Changsheng army was mixed with the Qin army, and the Qin army came to help us fight the bandits and the Chu army, and General Chen did this with His Majesty's private permission."
Speaking of which, You Zhong looked dead, and he had no intention of resisting at all!
