General Qin

"what sound?"

Huan Zhao suddenly woke up from his sleep, sat up on the couch, stretched his ears, and could vaguely hear the sound of shouts coming from outside the house, as if someone was cheering.

"Could it be that Meng Wu captured Xiangcheng, and the news came?" Huan Zhao said to himself.

Ever since he had a heart attack and was left in Huaiyang to recuperate, he has been unable to sleep every day. At the beginning, as long as he thought that Huan Zhao had missed the opportunity to make great achievements in defeating Chu, he would tremble with anger.

"It's all Zhao Tuo! If it wasn't for Zhao Tuo, I would have suffered from a heart attack and fell to this point!"

What annoyed Huan Zhao the most was that while he was sitting in Huaiyang City recuperating from his illness, Zhao Tuo was doing meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Judging by the speed of that kid's deeds, I am afraid that after the battle against Chu this time, he will be able to fight again. He went up one rank and ran to his head.

It's worth it!

The more Huan Zhao thought about it, the more angry he became, and his heart, which had recovered from rest, started beating violently again. He knew that this was a sign of another heart attack, but Huan Zhao couldn't help it. Whenever he thought of those annoying things, he would get angry Some of them couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well.

Until the news of Li Xin's defeat in Huaibei came a few days ago.

Huan Zhao was shocked when he first heard the news.

Li Xin actually lost?

Moreover, it is said that the entire army was wiped out, and 30,000 people were killed. Li Xin himself was chased and killed by the Chu army all the way, and his life and death are unknown now.

"Unfortunately, General Li, why did he lose?"

Huan Zhao was heartbroken, feeling sorry for Li Xin's defeat.

But in fact, in his heart, there was an inexplicable sense of secret joy.

"If I, Huan Zhao, are in the army, I will definitely be able to assist General Li in the battle. How can the Chu army show their might and be defeated like this?"

"General Li let Xiangcheng not fight, why did he come up with a strategy of surprise attacking Shouchun to overthrow the army? Hmph, presumably he must have listened to some Zhuzi's slander, so he made such an unwise move. Zhuzi is harmful to people. !"

While complaining to his attendants, Huan Zhao secretly rejoiced in his heart.

This time he was really a blessing in disguise. He never expected that this disease would save him from a big defeat. Not only would he not be in danger of being overwhelmed on the battlefield, but he would not have to bear any responsibility for the defeat.

On the contrary, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo, even if they can come back alive from the pursuit of the Chu army, their reputations will be ruined and they will be punished by cutting their titles to compensate for their crimes.

"Then Zhao Tuo had better be captured by the Chu people and become a prisoner. Even if he can be rescued in the future, he will not be able to hold his head up in front of me for the rest of his life! Hahaha, this is the only way to relieve my hatred!"

Thinking of this, Huan Zhao was really happy. In the days to come, he could eat an extra bowl of food and sleep soundly, but the impact of a serious illness was still great, making him sleepless during the day. Some lethargy.

Now he just fell asleep when he was awakened by the voice outside, and he couldn't help shouting outside the house: "Come on! What's going on outside?"

No one responded to Huan Zhao's call, but he soon heard a burst of exclamation and fighting.

Then the door was pushed open violently.

The one who came in was the daughter of Chu who was in charge of serving Huan Zhao, Zhi Zhi.

A native of Huaiyang, a woman from the state of Chu, Huan Zhao saw that she was pretty, and thought of pampering her after recovering from her illness, so she asked her to serve him. Scolded and scolded.

Now is no exception, Huan Zhao reprimanded: "Didn't I tell you to walk in lightly when you enter the door? There are really no rules. What happened outside? Why are you so noisy..."

Huan Zhao couldn't continue, because he saw the scene outside through the door that Zhi opened.

In the courtyard outside the house, there was blood flowing, dead bodies lying around, and crowds of people.

Zhizhi looked at him with a cold face, she didn't have the usual expression of trembling when scolded by him, kowtowing and pleading guilty.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the courtyard rushed into the house, they were Chu people with faces full of excitement and anger.

"He is the Marquis of the Qin State."

Zhi Zhi glanced at Huan Zhao resentfully.

"What's going on? Are you Chu people planning to rebel? No, how dare you... woo...""

Huan Zhao yelled, and he was rushed up by more than a dozen strong men from Chu.

...

"Today, this city is no longer Huaiyang of Qin State, but Chen Ying of our Chu State."

Young Master Qi stood at the head of Chen Ying City, with the red flag fluttering in the wind beside him, as if the blood of Zhu Rong in his body was burning.

In the city of Chenying behind him, countless people from Chu cheered and screamed. They pulled the guarding Qin soldiers full of fear into the open space in the city, and chopped off their heads with big axes. There was a burst of cheers.

Tens of thousands of Chu people shouted "Wan Sheng" in the bloody water. Their voices were like horns that shook the sky, echoing over the city, announcing that the city had officially escaped from the brutal rule of the Qin people and returned to the embrace of the free state of Chu.

In Huaiyang City, there were 3,000 fully armed Qin soldiers guarding the city, which was enough to suppress the Chu people's rebellion in the city. But before that, they received an order from Lord Changping, who was sitting here, to ask the Qin army to hand over their weapons under the pretext of checking their military equipment.

The Qin general guarding this place was very puzzled, but the military law stipulated that the orders of the superiors must be carried out, and those who disobeyed the orders would be punished.

Lord Changping is in charge of all the dispatching of Huaiyang, and this Qin army is also under his jurisdiction.

So all the three thousand Qin troops disarmed and abandoned their soldiers, and then they were captured and killed by the swarming Chu people, turning them into three thousand bloody heads.

In addition, there are still thousands of unarmed Qin people's husbands in the city, and at this moment, they naturally follow Huangquan Road.

Except for a very small number of Qin generals with higher titles who were not killed and were taken as prisoners, there were no Qin people in Chen Ying city, and the red flag could fly above the city openly.

"Young Master, why don't we trick the five thousand Qin soldiers into the city together, let them lay down their weapons first with the order of the Young Master, and then attack and kill them all like the three thousand Qin people."

The young master opened his side, and his confidant Chen Bai was full of doubts.

Because at this moment outside the city of Chen Ying, a Qin army of 5,000 men was looking at the closed city gate and the red flag flying above the city with horror on their faces.

The Marquis of the Qin Army didn't dare to take another step forward, and hurriedly dispatched a fast horse to immediately report back to General Mengwu by the Yingshui River.

Young Master Qi's face was sinking like water, and he said indifferently: "Meng Wu sent this Qin army here without telling me, I'm afraid he already had doubts. They won't listen to me, these five thousand people If you enter the city..."

Young Master Qi didn't go on, because he knew exactly how strong the Qin army was during his ten years as the prime minister of Qin.

The 5,000 Qin troops are fully equipped. Once they enter the city, even though there are tens of thousands of Chu people in the city, they are no match for the Qin people. At that time, I am afraid that Chen who has just been resurrected Ying, in a blink of an eye, will fall into Huaiyang of Qin State again.

"I just need to stick to this place. There are 50,000 Chu people in the city, and tens of thousands of young and strong people can be recruited to defend the city. With a strong and tall city wall and sufficient defense equipment, it is enough to repel the attack of the Qin people."

"Besides, if I rebel, the Qin army will lose its food and supplies. As long as I can stick to this place, they will be defeated in a short time, let alone the Chu army in Xiangcheng in front of Mengwu, and... Shangzhu country!"

Young Master Qi's eyes sparkled.

Why did he dare to start an incident in advance? It was because the Qin army's food, grass, and luggage were all stored in Chenying City.

This is an important node of the chasm. In the distant Xingyang granary, the Qin people loaded the grain and supplies on ships, and then transported it here through the water of the chasm, and hoarded the grain in the city. Then, under the command and dispatch of Lord Changping, it was transported to the Mengwu army ahead.

As long as Huaiyang turns against him, he doesn't even need to go out of the city to attack. As long as he sticks to the city, the nearly 70,000 soldiers under Mengwu's command, and the tens of thousands of Qin people who are in charge of logistics nearby, will cut off the food source in an instant.

This is more than a hundred thousand people, how much food do they have to eat a day, Huaiyang is reversed, what do they use to fill their stomachs?

...

Yingshui Qinying.

When Meng Wu received the news of Huaiyang's rebellion, he was stunned.

"It turned out to be true... Mr. Changping actually turned his back on it."

He murmured, his hands trembling slightly.

When receiving Li Xin's reminder, although Meng Wu believed it a little, he still didn't dare to make a rash decision. After all, this matter is of great importance, and it is not something he, Meng Wu, can decide at will.

But just in case, he specially dispatched 5,000 soldiers to garrison Huaiyang, and personally warned the generals of this song, telling them to be careful of the Chu people in the city. Moreover, Meng Wu did not inform Mr. Changping of this matter in advance, so that he would be caught by surprise, and this was his response.

In Meng Wu's plan, as long as 5,000 Qin troops suddenly entered Huaiyang, plus the original 3,000 guards, such a number would be enough to deter Lord Changping and the Chu people in the city, so that they would not dare to act rashly.

After he took down Xiangcheng and wiped out the Chu army in the city, he didn't have to worry about problems in the back road.

But I didn't expect that Lord Changping was so vigilant and sensitive. Before the five thousand Qin troops he sent arrived, he had already raised his flag to rebel.

"Once Huaiyang turned against us, our army would have no food and logistics."

Meng Wu's teeth were chattering, and he looked at the many generals who were also stunned after hearing the news in the tent.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Han Zhong, how much food is left in our barracks, how many days can it last?"

General Pi Han Zhong also tremblingly said: "There are still three days, the food and grass are only enough for the army for three days."

Nearly 70,000 soldiers, plus the support staff, the eclipse is very huge, so there is not much food and grass hoarded in the Yingshui barracks, and it has been transported non-stop by Huaiyang.

"General Meng, we must return to Huaiyang as soon as possible, take down the anti-city, capture the rebel Lord Changping, and regain the food and fodder, so that we can protect our army!"

Yang Yuan stood up and said in panic.

The other generals also followed suit. At this moment, they all looked panic-stricken and dared not mention the matter of capturing Xiangcheng anymore.

"Three days..."

Meng Wu closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down.

Li Xin is not here, he is the main general of this Qin army, everyone can panic, only he can't panic.

Soon, Meng Wu opened his eyes and slammed the wooden table in front of him.

"Yang Yuan, you will continue to surround Xiangcheng with 20,000 soldiers to protect my retreat and prevent the Chu army in the city from pursuing."

"Han Zhong, gather your soldiers immediately, protect the food and fodder, and follow me slowly to Huaiyang."

"Before our army retreats to Huaiyang, we must not leak this news to the army. Those who disobey the order will be executed!"

After writing this battle in the next chapter, even if the overall situation is settled for the first time to defeat Chu, Zhao Tuo's stage will be behind.
