General Qin

"Shouchun, who is not in the valley, was broken by the Qin army?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

King Chu Chu let out a scream, pushed the two beauties in his arms to the ground, and jumped up from the couch.

Because the action was too violent, it even tore the newly healed wound on the buttocks, and the dark red blood flowed down King Chu's thigh.

But King Chu of Chu didn't care about this at all, he stared with a ferocious face.

"Left disciple? Where's the left disciple!"

After a while, the left apprentice Sun Chang hurried into the palace of King Chu.

"There is a majestic city in Bugu, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Zhao Tuo and Qin's army outside the city is only 20,000 to 30,000. How can he defeat Shouchun in Bugu?"

"This is fake news!"

King Chu's eyes were red, and he stared at the left disciple in front of him, hoping to get an answer that would make him feel at ease.

Sun Chang closed his eyes, thinking of the cronies of the king who were dragged down and beheaded by the guards of the king of Chu when he came back to his mind.

He knew what the king wanted to hear.

It's just that now that the Qin army has entered the city, is it still useful to deceive yourself with lies?

Sun Chang gritted his teeth and started from the beginning: "In the past few days, there have been rumors circulating in the city. It is said that there are mountain ghosts celebrating their birthdays, foxes whispering that Chu is dead, and some people even took out a silk book from the belly of a fish and wrote "Tuo, the Destroyer of Chu". language……"

"It's fake! Yufu'an is able to produce silk scripts, it must be forged by someone who understands Qin in the city, trying to confuse our Chu people!"

The king of Chu gritted his teeth, but at this moment he came to his senses and broke through the mystery with one word.

Sun Chang smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "But those ignorant common people believe it to be true, even if we order people to stop rumors, it is useless. And those people connected the previous things that the king's city head sacrificed and prayed for his life to no avail. , saying that the gods have rejected Jing Chu."

The king of Chu was speechless.

When the Qin army came to the city, even he, the great king, wanted to pray for help from the gods. It was a matter of course for those ignorant pariahs to listen to the words of ghosts and gods.

Sun Chang continued: "So in Shouchun, the people's livelihood was divided, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. In addition, the Qin army sent people to deceive the city with strange weapons all day long. Therefore, when the Qin army attacked the city, our Chu army had no way to fight. The people fought, but the city wall was strong, but it was taken down by the Qin army. There were also rich and powerful people in the city, who responded to the Qin people and opened the city..."

"How many people are there in my palace city!"

The king of Chu interrupted Sun Chang's words, his face was grim at the moment.

After killing the confidant who reported the military situation, he had already woken up from his tenderness.

Now Zuo disciple Sun Chang's words put the bloody reality in front of him. Under such circumstances, King Chu can only raise his head and face the cruel future.

Judging from Sun Chang's words, the Qin army easily captured the Shouchun city wall, and most of the tens of thousands of Chu troops would surrender to the Qin people.

The outer city of Shouchun has fallen, so he can only sit in the palace.

"Although the Qin army captured the city gate, it had few soldiers. General Ye Bai gathered the guards from Guangdong and Guangxi and more than ten thousand soldiers and retreated to the palace city. The palace city is high and solid, surrounded by rivers, and there is a lot of food and grass. If you stick to it, the Qin army will be short. Time can't be taken away."

Sun Chang comforted him for a while, and then suggested: "Although the palace city is strong and the food and grass are sufficient, the hearts of our soldiers are not stable. At this time, the king can sincerely order the queens and queens in the palace to be organized among the soldiers and divide them If you work hard and distribute all the wealth and treasures of the royal family to the soldiers, then the army will be stable and the soldiers will be able to use their lives!"

"Although the Outer Kingdom is trapped, the Qin army has few soldiers after all. There must be loyal men in Shouchun City. As long as the Qin army inflicts tyranny in the city and arouses the Chu people to rebel, the king will send the general to lead the army out of the palace to attack the Qin people. , may not be able to take advantage of the situation to expel him from Shouchun."

The King of Chu nodded his head slightly. At this moment, what Zuo Tu said is indeed the only way.

Stick to Miyagi in anticipation of changes.

"According to Zuo disciple's words, distribute the gold and jade in the palace to calm the army's morale, and Bu Gu will personally go to comfort the soldiers later."

Hearing this, Sun Chang sighed inwardly.

The king finally came to his senses, he is a qualified monarch by doing so.

It's just that it's too late.

Looking at the figure of the left disciple leaving.

The hands of the king of Chu, who were clasped in his sleeves, kept trembling.

"Then Zhao Tuo is so despicable, it is really shameless to confuse me Chu people with rumors and destroy my city!"

Although he was cursing, the king's eyes were full of despair.

He is very clear.

Shouchun's foreign country is broken, and a mere palace city, how many days can it last in the hands of the Qin people?

When Qin Jun took his Chu Palace, it only depends on the will of Qin General Zhao Tuo.

The king of Chu couldn't help but think of the language of the fish-bellied silk script that Zuo Tu just said.

He murmured: "Tuo the one who destroyed Chu."

...

"The general is a peerless hero. My Jin family is willing to use a thousand private soldiers to help the general break through the Chu Palace!"

"The Bai family is willing to send five hundred troops to help the general break through the palace of the Chu king and overthrow the Jingchu community!"

"My Zheng family is also willing to do my best to help the general destroy Chu!"

In the tent of the Qin army outside the city, several nobles from the state of Chu in brocade clothes and high crowns stood in the tent, nodding and bowing to the general of the state of Qin on the main seat, smiling all over their faces.

The Qin army broke through Shouchun's outer gate, and within half a day they controlled the eight gates of Shouchun and the key points of Chudu.

The Chu army was defeated in a big way. Some soldiers surrendered to the Qin army on the spot, and the other soldiers who did not want to surrender retreated to the palace city of the king of Chu under the gathering of Chu general Ye Bai.

Tens of thousands of Chu people in the city trembled, because rumors of various oracles and the policy propaganda of the Qin army made them unable to resist. They all stayed at home, waiting tremblingly for the victor to deal with.

Qin Jun's next move was beyond the expectations of these Chu people.

Except for controlling key places such as the city gate, the Qin people did not send a single soldier to the city.

Instead, the nobles of Chu State who surrendered were appointed to deal with all kinds of chaos in Shouchun City, and let these surrenderers appease the people and encircle the rebels.

The Qin army let the original nobles rule the original civilians and the soldiers of the Chu army who surrendered.

During the war, the policy of Chu people governing Chu was implemented.

In this way, the countless Chu people in Shouchun City all settled down and had no intention of resisting.

Qin Jun is really trustworthy.

No killing, no looting, no even sending troops into the city.

If you keep your promises like this, who is not convinced?

This made those Chu loyalists who were originally loyal to the Chu state and prepared to incite the people to revolt and expel the Qin army suddenly feel very embarrassed.

Not only could they not incite the Chu people, but they would be encircled and suppressed by soldiers sent by various nobles.

In Shouchun City, the scene where the Qin people tortured and the Chu people rose up to resist as imagined by the king of Chu and Zuo Tu and others did not appear.

On the contrary, in this city, except for a few Lilu who are still in the hands of those who love Chu and are in a stalemate with the capitulation faction, most of the area has restored calm and order.

Chu people seem to have accepted the result of being ruled by the Qin army.

Under such circumstances, the towering palace city of the King of Chu with the red phoenix flag in the city seemed even more abrupt.

The nobles of the Chu Kingdom who surrendered saw that the Qin army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the Chu Palace, and each of them behaved more anxiously than the Qin people.

They kept sending people to ask General Zhao to attack Chu Palace as soon as possible, and they were willing to be the pioneer of Qin army to attack Jingchu.

Zhao Tuo just shook his head in the face of the Chu nobles who wished to destroy Jingchu Sheji as soon as possible.

"Your heart towards Qin, I know it."

"However, the time has not yet come. You just need to manage the affairs of the city well and prevent chaos, which is a great achievement."

"If you don't know the destiny, if you stick to the palace, it's just like a mantis holding a chariot. When our Qin army arrives, it will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Don't worry about it."

Zhao Tuo rejected their proposal.

These nobles who were full of "enthusiasm for destroying Chu" could only leave disappointed.

"When the country is about to perish, besides the loyal people, there are more people who lead the way."

Zhao Tuo sighed lightly.

Seeing those Chu people leave, and the generals and officials who accompanied Zhao Tuo to meet the Chu people in the tent, some people couldn't bear it immediately.

"General, now that Shouchun has fallen, why don't we take advantage of the situation and attack Chu Palace?"

Black Hip cried out, his eyes brightened and said: "Breaking the Chu Palace, capturing the King of Chu, and destroying the state of Chu, this is a great feat! Our soldiers are already gearing up. As long as the general gives orders, they don't need the help of these Chu people. If we can win Chu Palace in one battle, capture the Chu King, and stab his ass hard!"

"Yes, General, if we win the Chu Palace, it will be the most conspicuous contribution to this battle. Your Majesty will definitely reward the General, and maybe even make the General a Marquis directly!"

Zhang He, Bai Rong, Xi Qigu and others looked at Zhao Tuo expectantly.

Even She Jian, Zhao Guang, Su Jiao, Zhong Limei, Lu Wan and others showed excitement on their faces.

Destroy the country and captive king!

Such a feat is enough to shock the world.

In the future, as long as people in the world mention Chu, they will think of the saying that the one who destroyed Chu was the Qin general Zhao Tuo.

Even those generals who followed and participated in the battle to destroy Chu will feel the supreme glory.

And besides the glory, the king will definitely give them the most generous rewards, and it is sure to be safe to be promoted to a higher rank.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the generals and feeling their excitement, Zhao Tuo just smiled lightly.

He said softly: "It is indeed a great achievement to destroy the country and the captive king. But if we do this, where will the general and the generals be placed?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.

"General."

There was an awkward smile on the faces of the generals.

"We defeated Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and took control of the entire city. Not only did we demonstrate the capabilities of our army, but it was also a great achievement. With this feat and our previous achievements, there will be no shortage of honors from the kings."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth slowly and explained: "But it's time to stop here. If our army takes down the Chu Palace and captures the King of Chu before the army led by the general arrives, it may seem like a great feat, but it is an army. Eat all the credit, this is eating alone!"

"Which of the generals will be willing to behave like this? How will the general treat us?"

"More than ten generals, dozens of school lieutenants, and hundreds of thousands of troops have all been monopolized by our army, hehe..."

As Zhao Tuo said, he couldn't help shaking his head.

All the generals in the tent sighed.

They also understand the truth, but the great achievement of destroying the country is right in front of them, and the huge temptation is really unbearable.

Zhao Tuo was very calm.

He clearly knew that eating the merits of destroying Chu all by himself may seem to be of great benefit, but it is not a good thing.

One must know that Zhao Tuo had already stole the limelight with his great victory in Zhencheng before, and now if he monopolizes the great achievement of destroying Chu, he would offend many people.

General Wang Jian, Deputy General Yang Duanhe, General Feng Wuze, Qiang Yan...

At that time, I don't know how many people will hate and scold Zhao Tuo in their hearts.

The kid doesn't know the rules, he only knows how to eat alone, and he doesn't even give anyone a drink of soup.

These people are all veteran generals of the Qin State, and behind them are the generals of various families. At that time, Zhao Tuo will have enmity with many people.

The great achievement of destroying the country and the captive king looks very attractive, but the hidden danger behind it is so great that Zhao Tuo's back feels numb just thinking about it.

He was at odds with Mengshi before, and because of Li You, he had a rift with Li Si.

Now, if many Qin generals are dissatisfied with him because of the destruction of Chu, then the whole court will be full of enemies, will he still want to hang out in Qin in the future?

So instead of eating alone and making enemies with many generals, it is better to wait for the arrival of the army and share the credit.

When the army arrived in Shouchun, all the generals knew that Zhao Tuo had the ability to destroy the country and the captive king, but kept holding back and waiting for everyone to share.

Who doesn't like colleagues who know the rules and know how to share credit?

In this way, he, Zhao Tuo, not only has credit, but also has friendship with everyone, and everyone is happy, isn't it beautiful?

"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together."

"And, this is not the end."

Zhao Tuo whispered, looking to the east.
