General Qin

"Xiang Yan!"

In Shouchun City, Chu Wang picked up the wine cup on the table and threw it on the ground hard. With the crisp sound of impact, the sweet wine was scattered everywhere.

"How dare Xiang Yan!"

"And those Qin people, damn it!"

The king of Chu gritted his teeth with a "click" sound, and his eyes almost bulged out.

Seeing this, Jing Zhao quickly comforted him and said, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This matter is just as Shangzhu Kingdom expected. The Qin army that raided was only a few thousand people at most. They lied to Shouchun with the false words of 30,000 Qin troops, just to rob me." After leaving the captives, I can escape calmly."

"Now the news has come from the east that they cheated the city and escaped. I think these Qin people want to detour north from the east of Chu State and return to Qin State. Please also immediately dispatch the princes from all over the country to intercept them, and send a large army to pursue them. As for Shang Zhu Guo's actions this time are also to defeat the Qin army and protect our Chu country, don't be angry, Your Majesty!"

The King of Chu looked at Jing Zhao with a cold gaze.

At first, King Chu Chu was really frightened by the sudden appearance of the Qin army.

After all, the main force of the Chu army was in Huaibei at that time, and the 5,000 Chu troops who were in charge of escorting the captives were attacked and destroyed by the Qin people.

The captain of the Qin Army named Hei Hip even insulted him by showing his butt in front of the King of Chu.

Such a reckless and bold action, how could he not make the king of Chu tremble with fear, not to mention the businessmen from Chu who fled back to testify that 30,000 Qin troops are about to arrive.

So in the first few days, the king of Chu recruited the Chu people in the city to guard the city, and he was terrified day by day, fearing that 30,000 Qin troops would suddenly come to attack the city and invade Shouchun, taking him captive to Xianyang.

But as time passed, not only did the so-called "30,000 Qin army" not appear, even the Qin army that raided Qu Ming at the foot of the Eighth Mountain did not make any next move.

Only on the eighth mountain, occasionally Chu people who dared to approach, could see many soldiers of the Qin army standing guard and patrolling in the mountain mist.

The news came back that there were a lot of Qin soldiers, holding spears and standing very straight, it looked like a well-trained army.

This made the King of Chu tremble even more. Although he didn't know what the Qin people were doing on the mountain, he was deeply afraid that the Qin army would go down the mountain, so he didn't dare to send troops out of the city. He just sat guarding Shouchun and strengthened the city defense every day. Waiting for Xiang Yan's return.

Until the towns and cities in the east came news one after another.

A Qin army is heading east!

The number of this Qin army was only a few thousand. They wore red Chu army armor and headed eastward all the way.

At this time, the 10,000 Chu troops sent back by Xiang Yan also arrived, and the confident Chu king Xiang Chu dared to send troops to Bashan for inspection. After seeing it, he immediately blushed.

There are indeed "Qin soldiers" standing guard holding "spears".

But if you take a closer look, you will find that none of the "Qin people" can move. They are wooden figurines made of branches and vines. The wooden figurines still hold long wooden poles in their hands. Some of the surrounding trees also looked like human figures. From a distance, under the cover of the mountain fog and psychological effects, wouldn't they be the Qin army who had frightened them for many days?

What a trick to replace the truth with the fake!

The chief general of the Qin army actually played with him, the king of Chu, together with the tens of thousands of Chu people in Shouchun City.

"The Qin army indeed has 30,000 people!"

Youyin Jinxia stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I think Mr. Songyang's statement is absurd. There are indeed 30,000 Qin troops outside Shouchun City. They crossed the Huai River from the west, and they want to come and attack my Chu capital Shou spring."

Hearing this, Jing Zhao was stunned. He wondered, "Why did You Yin say this? Now our army has found out that there are only some wooden figures left by the Qin people on the Eighth Mountain, and there are no more people on the Eighth Mountain or within dozens of miles to the west. With the traces of the Qin army, and the Qin people who raided our army before also appeared in the east, where did the 30,000 Qin army come from? This is all a trick of the Qin people!"

Jin Xia sneered and said, "Songyang Lord Damian, the reason why you didn't see the 30,000 Qin army is of course because they were all scared away by the king!"

"Facing the sneak attack of the Qin army, the king remained calm and composed. He recruited the young and strong in the city to defend the city, and strengthened the city defense day and night. He did not give the Qin army any opportunity to take advantage of it. At the same time, he immediately sent envoys to summon the Shangzhu army to return to help, intending to pinch the Qin army. , Annihilate them in Huainan."

"Under the king's wise command, the general of the Qin army saw that my Shouchun city was solid, and the army and people were united. It was estimated that it would be difficult to capture it. In addition, our Chu army is about to return. At that time, they will be in danger of being destroyed. That's why they left behind a wooden man's trick on the eighth mountain, and led the troops to retreat westward. The reason why they haven't been found is because they have already fled!"

"As for the proof of the existence of the 30,000 army, it is the Qin army traveling east!"

"Why do these thousands of people go eastward and destroy my city? It's just to attract the attention of our Chu army, so as to cover the westward retreat of the 30,000 Qin army! Like this Simple strategy, why didn't you Songyang Lord see it?"

Jing Zhao was stunned, he stared blankly at Jin Xia who had a heartbroken expression on his face.

Is what this person said serious?

"As expected of Jin Qing, she can see through the tricks of the Qin people at a glance, and she is indeed an important minister of the country."

The King of Chu clapped his palms and praised, he nodded and said: "Only Jin Qing can understand the heart of dissatisfaction."

"It's a pity that Xiang Yan only stared at Mengwu's partial division, but ignored the 30,000 Qin army that sneaked into Shouchun City. If he could lead the army back as soon as he received the Bugu edict, instead of just sending The 10,000 people came slowly, and they will surely join hands with Bugu to attack the Qin army and wipe them out in Huainan, how can the 30,000 Qin army escape!"

Jin Xia narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What the king said is that this time, Shangzhu Kingdom made a mistake in judgment, which led to the delay of the battle and let the Qin army go."

After the king and ministers sang together, King Chu of Chu turned his eyes to Jing Zhao who was full of astonishment.

"Xiang Yan made a mistake in judgment and refused to listen to Bugu's edict, which caused the 30,000 Qin troops to withdraw westward calmly. This was a big mistake. However, Shangzhu is an important minister of the country, and he just defeated Li Xin and made a great contribution. Bugu also If you don’t want to pursue too much, let’s forget about it.”

"The 30,000 Qin troops have already fled away, unable to catch up, but the Qin troops heading east are still there. They must cross Huaibei sooner or later."

"Jing Zhao, send your fast horses immediately, day and night, and send an order to the princes and county magistrates in the eastern border, asking them to immediately recruit soldiers again, so that the Qin army must be stopped and wiped out."

"The more than 10,000 people sent back from Shangzhu Kingdom, let them also go out of the city and pursue eastward. We must annihilate that Qin army before it escapes!"

"We must not let them escape back to Qin! We must capture the chief general of the Qin army alive, bring him to Shouchun for Bugu, and tear him apart! Crack him!"

"And that black buttock, if he is captured alive and brought to Shouchun, Bugu will have someone stick a thousand bamboo sticks into his ass!"

At the end of the speech, King Chu's face was full of hatred, and his voice was full of killing intent.

What a shame, how can we not report it!

Jing Zhao was dazed by the words of King Chu Chu and You Yin Jinxia. Before he could react, he saw that the king had issued an order to intercept and kill the Qin army. He could only accept the promise and retreat in a daze.

After Jing Zhao left, only King Chu and You Yin Jinxia remained in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the fact that the 30,000 Qin troops were frightened away should be announced to the whole city, so as to show your Majesty's majesty." Jin Xia said lightly.

The king of Chu nodded his head, very satisfied with his favorite minister's proposal.

Thirty thousand Qin troops.

must have!

No, there must be!

Otherwise, if the news that he was frightened by thousands of Qin soldiers with false words spread, wouldn't he become the biggest laughing stock in the world, and how would the Chu people all over the country see him?

It's even related to his and Xiang Yan's decision on this matter.

Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong.

The one who is wrong can only be Xiang Yan.

Moreover, Xiang Yan went straight north to Xiangcheng regardless of the edict and safety of her own great king, saying that she was going straight to the Mengwu Qin army for the safety of Chu, but in fact she was echoing Xiong Qi in Chenying City.

"Xiang Yan...Xiong Qi..."

King Chu murmured.

...

More than two hundred miles to the east of Shouchun, a long-distance Qin army finally arrived at their destination.

"Zhongli."

Zhao Tuo rode on his horse and looked at a city in the distance that was on the south bank of the Huai River.

There is the place he chose to cross the Huai River.

They will cross the Huai River from Zhongli Township, then start heading north, pass through the cities of Chu State, and reach the border of Qin State.

This journey is not long, but it does not mean that their trip is safe.

In enemy territory, danger is everywhere.

Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze and said to the left and right: "Let General Qu Ming call the door."

The transition is over, and what follows is Zhao Tuo's long journey home.
