General Qin

In the Yingshui Camp of the Qin Army, a three-foot-tall banner (dào) was erected outside the main tent, representing the identity and majesty of the main general Li Xin.

However, in the handsome tent, the first sentence Meng Wu announced was: "Li Xin is defeated."

The generals already knew the result, and there was silence in the tent, with a layer of gloom covering everyone's faces.

Whether it was those who agreed with Li Xin's strategy of surprise attack, or the generals who were not optimistic about this strategy, by now, everyone knew that things were not good.

Li Xin's 30,000 chariots were nearly wiped out by the Chu army, and only a few thousand people fled in a hurry, how sad. Correspondingly, it also means that the battle of Qin State against Chu State has been declared a failure, at least they can no longer complete the strategic goal of destroying Chu State.

Not only have they lost all their previous efforts, they will not be able to make meritorious deeds, and they will also be looked down upon by countless Qin people after returning to Xianyang. This battle of defeating Chu not only has the high hopes of the king, but also entrusts the desire of countless Qin people.

No one would be reconciled, apart from cursing Li Xin's recklessness and recklessness in their hearts, the generals were also thinking of remedies.

But Meng Wu said at this time: "I want to lead the army back to Huaiyang and give up capturing Xiangcheng."

Hearing this, the generals were in an uproar, more excited than hearing the news of Li Xin's defeat.

General Pi Yang Yuan stood up first, and said excitedly: "General Meng, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Although General Li was defeated, there is still a turning point in the war against Chu. After days of fierce attacks by our army, the north wall of Xiangcheng is now about to collapse, and there are countless casualties of the Chu army in the city. Our army has been attacking the city for days. There are still more than 60,000 soldiers who can fight here, at most a few more days of fierce attack, our army will be able to attack Xiangcheng!"

"If our army can capture Xiangcheng, we will be able to open up the road to the south. Maybe we can defeat the Chu army that intercepted General Li, and then take advantage of the situation to capture the city of Huaibei. In that way, this attack on Chu , even if we are unable to destroy Chu, at least we can conquer many cities, enough to explain to the king."

Another general, Han Zhong, also agreed: "Yes, General Meng, if we withdraw at this time, our army's previous achievements will be for naught. And if General Li is defeated, he will definitely come north from the sleeping hill, and he wants to join our army in Xiangcheng. If the general withdraws his army at this time, the defenders of Xiangcheng will go out of the city, which will definitely block General Li's way of escape, and General Li will die, this is absolutely impossible."

"Yeah yeah……"

Other generals followed suit.

Meng Wu gave everyone a cold look.

He is very clear about these people's thoughts.

What they said were all excuses.

It's nothing more than seeing that Xiangcheng is about to be breached, and the credit is about to be obtained, and no one is willing to discard it.

Li Xin's defeat must be a serious crime.

Although their part did not participate in Li Xin's surprise attack and would not bear too much responsibility, but they have been stopped in Xiangcheng, and they have nothing to gain. Who would be willing to go back like this?

But at this time, as long as they stormed for a few more days, they could take Xiangcheng and cut off the heads of tens of thousands of Chu people in the city. This is all military merit!

Such a big victory, compared with Li Xin's defeat, wouldn't it highlight their contribution even more. Even if they failed to destroy Chu this time, they can return to Qin with their heads held high and they don't have to worry about being punished.

To be honest, Meng Wu was also very moved. Taking down Xiangcheng and destroying the tens of thousands of Chu troops in the city would not only make them meritorious, but also wipe out the vital forces of Chu State, so that the next time Qin State would attack Chu, it would gain a greater advantage.

only……

Meng Wu recalled the letter written by Li Xin that he received last night. The letter was written on silk, and Li Xin's personal guards came to deliver it day and night. Meng Wu burned it immediately after reading it.

The content of the letter is very important and very surprising.

Li Xin said in the letter that the reason why his raid on Shouchun failed this time was because someone inside the Qin army leaked his plan and let the Chu army know the marching route of Li Xin's surprise attack, so Xiang Yan was able to gather Chu in advance. The soldiers in the eastern border intercepted in the Xiacai area of ​​Juyang, and finally caused the Qin army to suffer a major defeat.

From Meng Wu's point of view, Li Xin's words inevitably seemed to shirk responsibility, but if he thought about it carefully, Meng Wu was quite startled.

Xiang Yan's big banner was still planted on Xiangcheng, but he ran hundreds of miles away to the Xiacai area of ​​Juyang, which happened to be the only way for Li Xin to attack Shouchun. How can this coincidence be explained? ?

The Chu army conscripted from the eastern part of the state of Chu was supposed to come to Xiangcheng for support, but they all went south to intercept and kill Li Xin. How did the Chu people know and deploy their troops in advance?

Everything proves that Xiang Yan has a source of information, let him know the route of Li Xin's surprise attack this time, and only then can he make corresponding arrangements.

There is a ghost!

But Meng Wu didn't dare to talk nonsense, because that person's identity was too important, and without evidence, he and Li Xin were not free to slander and accuse him.

In Qin Fa, those who falsely accuse are charged with crimes.

So Meng Wu is also very entangled at the moment, the generals are unwilling to withdraw the army, if they withdraw by force, the army's morale may be unstable. But if the siege of Xiangcheng continues, if the person in Huaiyang City is really an insider, there will be serious troubles. Thinking of these words, Meng Wuzhi feels like a light is on his back, and he is restless.

At this time, the generals were still persuading Meng Wu, hoping that he could continue to attack Xiangcheng.

Meng Wu took a deep breath and finally thought of a way.

"Since this is the case, the army will continue to attack Xiangcheng. In five days, this city must be taken!"

"In addition, the news of General Li's defeat this time spread to the rear, which may cause the Chu people to feel uneasy. Yang Yuan, you send a group of soldiers to retreat to Huaiyang to sit in the town, implement military management, and prevent the local Chu people from changing their minds!"

...

Xiangcheng.

Zhou Wen looked out of the broken parapet wall, and saw the bright lights of the Qin camp in the distance, and countless figures holding torches came out in a file, rushing towards Xiangcheng, and at the same time, there was a war drum.

"Qin army is going to attack at night again?"

Zhou Wen took a deep breath. You must know that when two armies are at war, they will try their best to avoid night battles unless necessary.

Especially in siege battles, when there is no sunlight, it is easy to affect the soldiers climbing the city. Many people miss and fall directly before climbing the wall, and the casualties of the attacking side will be very heavy. Few generals would choose to attack a city at night unless they wanted to take advantage of the unprepared defenders for a surprise attack.

The Qin army had attacked the city day and night several times before. Although the Chu army in the city was tired of coping, the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties. It gave up the night battle within a few days and only attacked the city during the day.

Why is the night attack launched again today? Is the general of the Qin army crazy?

Zhou Wen quickly retreated from the city wall and rushed to report to the commander's tent in the city.

At the same time, the exhausted Chu soldiers in the city also received military orders to go to the city wall to defend against the enemy.

In Xiangcheng, after hearing Zhou Wen's report, Xiang Qu, the general of the Chu army who was sitting here, was not in a hurry, but laughed and said: "The Qin army wants to attack Xiangcheng at night, hahaha, it seems that they are in a hurry!"

"They're in a hurry!"

Laughing, Xiang Qu's face turned red with excitement.

He whispered: "This is a signal. Counting the time, father should also defeat Li Xin. He is about to arrive. At that time, it will be my chance to fight back."

Xiang Qu stood up and issued an order: "Let the 10,000 elites in the city who have never been on the wall to fight get ready. These few days, it's time to use them!"

...

Huaiyang, Chen Ying, the former state of Chu.

"Young Master Qi."

Holding a silk script in his hand, Xiong Qi muttered this title.

Lord Changping of Qin.

Qi, the son of Chu State.

These are his two identities.

In the first half of Xiong Qi's life, he lived in Qin State as Lord Changping.

Together with Chang Wenjun, he worked hard for King Qin's government to quell the Lai Lu rebellion and attacked Lu Buwei's party. After that, he worked hard as the prime minister of Qin State for nearly ten years. For the great cause of Qin State's dominance of the world, Xiong Qi can be said to have devoted himself to it.

But later, he found that his heart had changed.

King Qin's government wanted to annex the world, and Chu was the country he was destined to perish.

The country that Xiong Qi's ancestors once ruled, the ancient country that has Zhu Rong's blood and has been passed down for 800 years, is about to perish in the hands of the Qin people, and it will also perish in the hands of his Xiong Qi.

Whenever he thinks about this matter, Xiong Qi feels his heart ache.

Although he was a child abandoned by his father in the state of Qin, the blood of Mi Xiong's family still flows in his body.

Could it be that he, Xiong Qi, really wants to destroy his ancestral land with his own hands?

Clan brother Chang Wenjun told him that Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and Qin destroying Chu is the general trend. They can't stop it, so it's better to focus on a longer-term perspective.

Fusu!

The child born to this Chu girl has the same blood as them, and is also a true descendant of Zhu Rong.

They just need to influence Fusu to make Fusu like the culture of Chu, the clothes of Chu, and everything about Chu...

So what about Qin Miechu, as long as the two of them can help Fusu get to the top.

At that time, Qin Wangzheng has died and Fusu succeeded to the throne, so the rulers of the world will still be the descendants of the ancestor Zhu Rong, they are Chu people!

Fusu will promote the culture of Chu State all over the world, so that everyone in the world will wear Chu clothes, speak Chu language, worship the Phoenix of Chu State, offer sacrifices to the ancestor of Zhurong, and worship the God of Taiyi.

The state of Chu fell.

But the whole world will become the new Chu State.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such a strategy to change the world?

Xiong Qi was once persuaded by Chang Wenjun, and the two tried their best to influence Fusu together. With their efforts, Fusu, who neglected to pay attention to Qin Wangzheng because he was busy with political affairs, really developed in the direction they expected.

Fusu speaks Chu's voice, wears Chu clothes, likes Confucianism, loves to read silk paintings from Chu, and even likes to eat oranges from Chu, and always has compassion in his heart, which is completely different from his father, Qin Wangzheng.

It is said that they are from Qin, but they are actually more like Chu people.

Just when Chang Wenjun was complacent and thought their plan would succeed.

Xiong Qi discovered that Qin Wangzheng had seen through everything.

"It's useless, the more we make Fusu look like a Chu person, the less the king will let him take over Qin."

Xiong Qi muttered to himself, he knew Qin Wangzheng, Chang Wenjun's plan was doomed to fail.

If Fusu, who is very much like the Chu people, cannot inherit the throne, then the Chu state will be destroyed in the past eight hundred years, but it is really dead.

From that moment on, there was a new idea in Xiong Qi's heart.

"I don't want Chu to perish."

Xiong Qi stood up from the couch, his eyes became firm.

"I'm Xiong Qi, a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, the real son of Chu!"

"How can I let my motherland perish!"

A sound of footsteps approaching quickly.

Xiong Qi's confidant walked in hurriedly, and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the army that General Mengwu will dispatch a group of soldiers to take over Huaiyang, saying that he is afraid that the news of General Li Xin's defeat will cause trouble here. The people of Chu are uneasy, so they dispatched special troops to guard them."

Xiong Qi was startled.

He served as the prime minister for ten years, and stayed in Huaiyang for another year. He had already spread eyeliner and cronies everywhere, so before the soldiers sent by Mengwu arrived, he had already received the news first.

"Did you notice something?"

"Or maybe Meng Wu is too prudent to arrange this."

Xiong Qi narrowed his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he whispered: "No matter what the reason is, those five thousand people cannot be allowed to enter the city, otherwise the big event will be impossible. I can only start the incident in advance, but it is only two days away from the time agreed by Xiang Yan. Presumably he will be able to arrive in time, and the impact will not be great."

With that said, Xiong Qi went to stay on the bed and said to his relatives: "Let's go, follow me to wake up the Chu people in this city. Let this Huaiyang become the capital of Chen Ying in our Chu Kingdom again."

"Wei, Your Majesty."

My confidant promises.

Xiong Qi stopped, and gave the cronies a cold look.

"Don't call me Junhou again."

"Call me son."

"I, Young Master Qi of Chu State!"
