General Qin

Under the light of a moonlit night, the Huai River flows leisurely.

The sad and mournful singing came from all directions in the night.

Although Chu Wangqi was not born in Chu, but he admired Chu culture since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the songs of Chu.

sad.

homesickness.

There was a faint melancholy in his heart.

Especially when he was recalling the past in Guanzhong under the moonlight just now, when he was hooked by this song, his heart became more and more sad.

But soon, Chu Wangqi reacted.

"On the battlefield, with the Qin army besieging both sides, how could there be Chu people singing? Could it be that the Qin army withdrew?"

Chu Wangqi was puzzled, but soon his face changed drastically, and he growled, "No, this is Qin Jun's conspiracy!"

The Huai River is full of Qin ships.

On both sides of the Chu camp were Feng Wuze and Zhao Tuo's tens of thousands of troops, and even with their asses, they knew that the Qin army had made these movements.

Chu Wangqi looked around and saw soldiers coming out of every tent in the Chu camp.

They looked around, and their dull faces changed amidst the bursts of singing. Under the light of the campfire and moonlight, many people's faces were full of sadness and worry.

Chu Wangqi listened carefully, and found that among the Chu people singing around, many of them had Jiangdong accent, and they also sang the nostalgic tunes of Jiangdong Wuyue.

Most of the soldiers under his command are from Jiangdong.

"Are the Qin people trying to attack our army's morale? Such a trick must have been figured out by Zhao Tuo!"

Chu Wangqi immediately guessed the purpose of the Qin army, and was about to order all these soldiers to pay back their accounts.

At this moment, the nostalgic singing all around suddenly stopped, followed by words of persuasion to surrender.

"Second and third son, please listen to our brother Paozhe!"

"Now that the state of Chu has perished, even the king has surrendered to the Qin army, and ordered all cities and towns to raise their flags to surrender to Qin! If you resist the order, it is the rebellion of the state of Chu!"

"The state of Qin now occupies most of the land of Chu. Lu land, Huaibei, Huainan, and even Jiangdong have all been captured by the Qin army. It was also broken by the Qin army, otherwise General Zhao An Neng's troops would enter here and surround you!"

"In the huge Chu land, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people like you who are still raising the flag to fight against Qin. Looking around, is there any help?"

There was an uproar in the Chu camp, and Ling Yin committed suicide in Shandao? Huaiyin was also captured?

And those Chu people from Jiangdong were even more horrified and full of worry.

Has their hometown already fallen into the hands of Qin Jun?

Desperation spread in the Chu camp.

"Rumors, these are the words of Qin Jun's bewitching you and others, return the account quickly, don't listen to Qin's bewitching!"

King Qi of Chu turned pale with fright, and quickly sent an order to the military officials at all levels to drive all the soldiers back.

The surrounding words are still circulating.

"The second and third sons are just like us. They are common people. They worked hard at the age of one, and most of what they gained was taken away by the nobles of Jingchu. They worked hard all their lives as servants of Chu. They couldn't eat more than beans, rice, and soup. How have they ever received half of Jingchu's favor? ? What does Jingchu do to you?"

"Now, you, the sons of the common people, want to abandon their relatives and relatives, and use their own heads and lives to fight to the death for a false king Xiong Qi. How is it different from a fool!"

"The state of Qin has taken over the general situation. The false king Xiong Qi doesn't know the destiny. He is like a mantis holding a chariot, and he will perish sooner or later. If you follow him, you will definitely die here. When you die, have you ever thought that your parents and children are still in that hometown? I am looking forward to it, waiting for you to go back! If you die, where will you go?"

Crying sounded in the Chu camp.

Who doesn't miss parents, wives and children?

Chu Wangqi even trembled when he heard it, knowing that something was wrong.

While he asked his cronies to drive the soldiers back to the account, he made people shout in the camp, trying to counter the deceptive voices outside the camp.

But it's useless, Qin Jun has a certain method to amplify the sound, and they shouted together from all sides, no matter which direction the night wind blows, it can be clearly blown into the Chu camp, which is far better than that of the camp. Chu Zu's voice was louder and clearer.

"Second and three sons, the Qin army will not attack the Chu camp tonight. If you want to save your life, you should run away at night on your own. Return to your hometown to accompany your parents and family members. Isn't it beautiful and happy to live like this? , worked hard to fight, and in the end, his body was decapitated, and his relatives cried bitterly!"

"Tonight is the only chance. Tomorrow morning, the Qin army will attack the camp aggressively. When the camp is broken, all those who resist will be decapitated. There is no reason to survive!"

"In addition, General Zhao Tuo has an order to capture and kill the false king Xiong Qi, reward a thousand pieces of gold, and bestow a noble title!"

"Those who desire wealth and honor can behead Xiong Qi and offer it!"

...

"King."

The short soldiers cried out in worry.

Chu Wangqi trembled as if frightened, and looked warily at the guards who called him.

"Your Majesty, we swear to protect you to the death, without any second thoughts!"

All the short soldiers and guards immediately knelt down and kowtowed to show their loyalty.

Chu Wangqi felt a little relieved, but when he looked around and saw pairs of eyes that were thinking about something, he felt chills all over his body.

"It's such a vicious move. This Zhao Tuo has practiced the art of attacking the heart to such an extent. This is to disintegrate my army overnight."

King Qi of Chu gritted his teeth in hatred. Although he had people spread rumors in the camp that what the Qin people said was demagogic, it didn't have much effect.

The thinking of most Chu soldiers has been guided by Qin Jun.

As Qin Jun said, if Yin Xiangyan hadn't died in battle and Huaiyin fell, how could Zhao Tuo's Qin army have marched in here and surrounded them with Feng Wuze's Qin army.

What Qin Jun said is definitely true!

In this way, they, the Chu army, are truly helpless and alone. The only thing waiting for them is death. Just thinking about this situation makes people feel desperate.

At this moment of despair, Qin Jun gave them another hope of survival and escape, and rushed out of the camp at night, each returning to their hometown.

The Qin army will not chase and kill them, so that these Chu soldiers can return to their hometown to accompany their parents and relatives. Such a promise is full of infinite appeal to these desperate Chu people.

I want to live!

What Jingchu Sheji, serving the king of Chu, what does it have to do with me, the head of Guizhou, a commoner?

Except for those Chu people who wanted to survive.

There are still many people in the camp who are bold enough to seek wealth and honor, and they have already developed ambitions.

People in Chuying tonight are full of ulterior motives.

When Chu Wangqi thought of all the consequences, he was terrified.

He could only huddle in his tent and lament under the heavy guard of short soldiers.

He didn't even dare to appease the soldiers overnight, because he was afraid that under the leadership of someone with a heart, those soldiers would suddenly violently cut off his head and go to the Qin camp in exchange for wealth.

Just when Chu Wangqi was startled and frightened, in the middle of the night, what he feared most finally happened.

In the Chu camp, first there were scolding and cursing.

Immediately afterwards, there were screams of fighting and wailing of pain.

When someone started, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand layers of waves, one after another shouted, and the Chu camp with 20,000 people fell into chaos.

"Your Majesty, there are two Sima in the Southern Camp leading a team to escape at night!"

"Your Majesty, the leader of the Dongying Camp will come out of the camp!"

"My lord, someone set fire to the west camp!"

"My lord, there are rebels who want to attack the king's account."

"Also ask the king to change his clothes quickly, we will escort the king to go!"

Amidst the alarmed reports of the short soldiers.

Chu Wangqi sat on the ground weakly, his eyes were confused.

He whispered: "Bugu's 20,000 troops are gone like this?"

...

There is a hill a few miles south of the Qin-Chu battlefield.

On a cliff to the north, there are two figures, one big and one small, standing there, facing the cold wind, looking at the scene under the moonlight in the distance.

From their point of view, countless flames were coming out of the Chu camp in the middle, fleeing in a direction avoiding the Qin camp on both sides.

Those were all soldiers of the Chu army who fled for their lives by lighting torches.

"Father, has the Chu army been defeated?"

Han Xin raised his head and asked.

He is eight years old this year, with short curly hair, slightly fair skin, and some baby fat on his face.

A pair of eyes are piercing and shining, especially energetic.
