I am a barbarian!
These four simple words represent the arduous history of the ancestors of the Chu people who endured cold looks and humiliation for hundreds of years, conquered mountains and forests, conquered enemies with blood, swords and plows... and finally became a great country!
It means that the Chu people finally straightened up and openly defied the supreme emperor of the Central Plains, Emperor Zhou!
I am a barbarian!
In order for Xiong Qu to arrogantly say these four words in front of the Zhou people, countless generations of Chu people shed their lives and blood, dying under the swords of barbarians and in the mouths of poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests... This is the largest state in Chu. proud!
From the lowest viscount to the highest king!
This is the arduous road to entrepreneurship, the perseverance of Chu people for hundreds of years, and the breath that countless generations of Chu ancestors have tried their best to fight for!
Thinking back to the beginning, Xiong Yi, the ancestor of the Chu people, stood alone outside the palace, squatting in front of the fire and adding firewood one by one... Hundreds of leaders of the vassal states, large and small, gathered in the palace, drank happily, and looked at the palace. The emperor of Zhou sung his praises...
Imagine how Xiong Yi felt at that time?
It was this humiliation that made countless generations of Chu people move forward bravely, and eventually became a powerful vassal state dominating the south!
I am a barbarian!
Not convinced? Come and fight if you don't agree!
I am a barbarian!
…
The sergeants of the private camp beside Xiong Wuliang cheered loudly and roared in unison... The Qin people owed countless blood debts to the Chu people. A considerable part of the Qin people's great reputation was based on the Chu people's wails and blood. Above!
And now, his master is in front of the prime minister of Qin! Outside Xianyang City, the capital of Qin! Say those four big words openly——
I am a barbarian!
This is a strong sense of self-confidence and a declaration of shame! It even announced that Chu State has become stronger and is no longer afraid of any challenges or even wars!
The morale of the Chu army is unprecedentedly strong!
The sergeants spread the word, and in just a moment, the entire Chu army's position was immersed in a frenzy - seven thousand brave and skilled soldiers raised their swords and halberds in unison, pointed rudely in the direction of Xianyang, and Shouting loudly...
"I am a barbarian!"
"I am a barbarian!"
Wei Ran was so shocked by this sudden enthusiasm that his face turned pale... His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
Xiong Wuliang sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I still have seven or eight hundred jars of kerosene on hand... enough to put half of Xianyang City in flames."
"I have led the troops to this point, and I have no intention of getting out alive... After throwing all the kerosene bombs, the seven thousand soldiers will launch the final charge towards Xianyang!"
"When the time comes, I will be the last to die in battle...but I will never surrender to Qin!"
As Xiong Wuliang spoke, he felt extremely excited and happy... At this moment, the blood in his skull jumped and hit his temples, giving him a kind of arrogant pleasure of dying together...
"I will definitely die, but the royal capital of Qin will also be crippled! The ruling class of Qin will suffer heavy casualties under my sword..."
"Wei Ran, you either agree to my terms, or... I will be buried with Qin Rongmanzi's family!"
Xiong Wuliang enunciated each word very clearly.
At this moment, all the grievances and humiliations that I felt after seeing the Chu Army's tomb with my own eyes... seemed to be vented out!
Incomparable joy surged into his heart, and Xiong Wuliang smiled rudely and contemptuously, looking directly into Wei Ran's eyes.
Wei Ran's face turned pale.
He could see it from Xiong Wuliang's eyes - the young man in front of him would really do this!
Mi Liang, you are so cruel!
The surrounding Chu soldiers shouted excitedly, and even the cunning and cunning Zhao Hua couldn't hold back - he was infected by the fanatical atmosphere, and he even excitedly drew his sword and said excitedly: "My lord, even though I am a scholar, I am willing to die in battle!"
The seven thousand brave soldiers roared together: "The soldiers of Quyang are all willing to die in battle! The Great Chu will be victorious! The Marquis of Quyang will be victorious!"
Not only was Wei Ran speechless under the pressure of this momentum... In the distant Xianyang City, all the officials of the Qin State standing on the observation deck, including Empress Dowager Xuan and Ying Ji, all turned pale and said nothing. hair……
This fierce Chu army... is really an iron army that will fight for the rest of its life...
Even though they were so far apart, the Duke of Qin could feel a fierce and evil aura roaring into the sky outside the city... No one doubted that as long as the young boy gave an order, these arrogant people who were already good at fighting would A strong general will rush into Xianyang City without hesitation and kill everyone on sight... without hesitation.
The veteran of the royal family who had experienced three dynasties was actually a little unsteady at this moment, and kept muttering to himself: "Mi Liang... Xiong Liang..."
"Sooner or later this person will shock the Central Plains..."
…
Wei Ran clenched his teeth, his face turned green and white, then white and red.
The surrounding Chu army officers stared at Wei Ran eagerly, with the intention of eating his flesh and blood... Even though Wei Ran was in power and said the truth, he actually had difficulty breathing at this moment.
Seeing that Wei Ran was still hesitating, Xiong Wuliang waved his hand unceremoniously: "Come, let's see you off!"
"Wait a minute..." Wei Ran was confused and interrupted.
He gritted his teeth tremblingly and humiliated in a low voice: "Qin...Qin people, I agree!"
"It's just 100,000 gold. I really can't get it out... Our Qin State has suffered natural and man-made disasters in recent years, and the treasury is also empty. I can only give you 50,000 gold!" Wei Ran gritted his teeth, feeling half angry and half humiliated in his heart: "Ruojun If you are still not satisfied, then give up!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled brightly, and the murderous look on his face gradually disappeared: "Deal!"
…
Dachu, the capital of Ying.
At this moment, there was a tense and solemn atmosphere in Yingdu.
King Huai of Chu gave an order, and the whole Ying Dynasty was desperately preparing for war!
Of course, everyone knows the temper of King Chu Huai - after this guy got angry and pretended to compete, he calmed down and started to worry about gains and losses. In the end, this guy prepared a second plan very realistically -
If you can't fight, run away!
Outside the palace, the entire Ying city was searching for supplies and arming the people, preparing for a decisive battle with Bai Qi's terrifying army.
Inside the palace... the concubines, young masters, and princesses of all sizes packed their belongings into boxes...
Especially Gongzilan, he has the most stuff!
By the way, if it really can't be stopped, King Huai of Chu has even decided on the location of the new capital - [Chen] to the east of Yingdu, which is far away from Qin's military fronts and slightly affluent, may be the new capital...
General Qu Ping of the Zhu Kingdom was so busy that he hit the back of his head - as the most senior and stable general in the royal capital, he was naturally appointed as the 'capital security commander' by King Huai of Chu, and he was preparing intensively for war.
Check out the troops on hand - in addition to the 8,000 royal troops, there are also 5,000 Yingdu city guards.
If we open the treasury and distribute scrap metal to the people, we should be able to arm 20,000 to 30,000 "national commandos".
Coupled with the private military units in the hands of the noble ministers of Yingdu... Lin Linzongzong could count forty to fifty thousand people after taking such an inventory! It really made Qu Ping, who was originally feeling tragic, overjoyed!
According to the intelligence - Bai Qi is coming with 76,000 troops.
It's cold and windy outside - although the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom in the south is much warmer than the bitter cold Danyang and the 800-mile Qinchuan, it's still bearable.
It is estimated that by the time Bai Qi leads his troops to Yingdu, it will already be a month later, and there will be a large-scale non-combat attrition of the troops - I am afraid that only half of the Qin soldiers who can make it to Yingdu alive will be worthless.
At that time, Yingdu's defense will be even more complete than it is now!
With a solid city wall to rely on... Qin General Bai Qi's desperate attempt to survive and fight to the death was indeed intimidating, but after the initial panic, Qu Ping was now fully confident in guarding Yingdu!
