Logically speaking, nobles in this era are generally full of martial virtue.
He can more or less make two gestures with his sword and halberd.
But our overlord, King Huai of Chu... his swordsmanship is probably enough to give him a fight with Marquis Quyang.
Seeing Qin soldiers coming up and hugging the thatch on the grass stack...the fat King Huai of Chu was exposed!
Qin Bing screamed in surprise, obviously startled by this huge fat man surrounded by hay!
King Huai of Chu draws his sword and rises violently!
After three or five random slashes, the Qin soldier was caught off guard and was hacked to the ground by King Huai of Chu without even pulling out the sword from his waist.
Several Qin soldiers on the side were furious. After coming to their senses, they all drew their swords and struck at King Chu Huai... The shining sword light went straight to King Chu Huai's neck.
The only overlord of the Warring States Period is about to disappear...
"Wait a minute!" the centurion of the Qin army shouted, with a strange light in his eyes!
During the Warring States Period, it was rare to have a full stomach.
This big white fat man has rosy cheeks. How many good things does he need to eat to grow like this?
Being able to eat so fat is definitely not an ordinary little nobleman!
Looking at the bloody copper sword held by King Huai of Chu, the Qin army centurion's eyes were filled with brilliance!
Although I can't recognize the sword.
But it can be seen from the gilt hilt and the sword body with intricate patterns like ripples in the river - it must be an extremely valuable sword!
The centurion jumped down from his horse and knocked the sword out of King Chu Huai's hand in a few clicks. Then he picked it up, looked at it carefully, and repeatedly praised: "Good sword, good sword!"
The big fish has been caught!
It’s not in vain for me to pursue you so fiercely!
Overjoyed!
At this time, King Chu Huai could hardly stand due to the continuous running away, hunger, shock, anger... plus the fear of almost losing his head just now.
The centurion put away the sword carelessly, and then waved his hand: "Tie up this fat man! This man must have a lot of background!"
"Second and third sons, wait to accept the general's heavy reward!"
…
King Huai of Chu was tied up with a big fish, and a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth. The centurion of the Qin army wanted to be kind to this big fish, and asked him to tie his hands and feet and sit on the horse. The poor horse's four legs were trembling from the pressure. Towering.
Following the Qin army's hundred troops heading north against the current, King Chu Huai was furious!
The sights along the way made even the most heartless King Huai of Chu furious!
Dead bodies, blood...
An empty village.
Fleeing civilians - the elderly, women, children, and the whole family lay neatly on the roadside.
The misery along the way is simply indescribable!
This is the richest Huainan Plain in Chu State!
Chu State's vitality was really badly damaged this time.
King Chu Huai was brought to the Thousand-man General. After a few brief interrogations, the Thousand-man Captain was also surprised to find that he had caught a big fish, so the entire Thousand-man Army no longer continued to chase south, but all gathered to escort the prisoner. Looking for the Captain of Ten Thousands.
Captain of Ten Thousands, as the name suggests, commands ten thousand soldiers, and he can be regarded as a moderate general.
The captain stared at the fat white prisoner in front of him, looked up and down, then looked at the precious sword, and took a breath!
This prisoner is at stake! Two more thousand-man teams - three thousand Qin soldiers were sent to stand ready, and the captured fat white man was sent directly to the state captain Sima Cuo!
…
King Mi Huai of Chu was caught!
No matter how hard Sima Cuo showed his emotions and anger, he still couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart at this moment.
Whether in a political sense or a military sense - capturing Chu King Mi Huai alive is of great significance!
In the most ideal situation, it is even possible to force the Chu State in front of you to give up resistance and surrender directly!
"Reward! Big reward!" Sima Cuo suddenly stood up: "The hundred-man team that captured King Chu will be promoted to one rank! The centurion will be promoted to three ranks!"
Prime Minister Meng Xi: "If you don't have the merit of beheading, I'm afraid it's against the rules..."
Sima Cuo waved his hand to interrupt: "Just do as I say! Such a great achievement, no reward is too high!"
Afterwards, Sima Cuo quickly straightened his clothes, then led a row of soldiers and ran straight to the camp where King Huai of Chu was being guarded...
King Huai of Chu was treated politely by the people of Qin.
First, they provided delicious food and drinks. Not only did they not impose any punishment, they even provided hot water for washing. During the march, hot water was hard to come by. Even Sima Cuo himself did not use hot water uncontrollably. Welfare.
"Qin and Chu were originally related by marriage, but now they meet each other at war. It is really a coincidence... I, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister of Qin, always sigh when I think about this." Sima Cuo said to King Huai of Chu respectfully -
"Presumably, Your Majesty, you don't want to watch Qin Chu continue to be at odds with each other, right?"
"Now that the king has come to our Qin army camp as a 'guest', the foreign minister believes that this is the perfect opportunity to turn hostility into friendship!"
"Please write a letter in your own hand, your Majesty, to persuade the capital of Ying to stop resisting. Wouldn't it be nice for Qin and Chu to have good relations and be allies forever?"
Sima Cuo's gentle persuasion was very sincere.
Although King Huai of Chu was naive, he was not stupid - he naturally knew that the Qin man in front of him was uneasy and well-intentioned.
Especially the miserable scenes I saw along the way.
You, Sima Cuo, dare to say to those piles of corpses that "the people of Qin actually don't want Qin and Chu to be at odds with each other"?
Shameless!
There was no smile on Mi Huai's fat face: "You don't need to put it in a nice way when you're a guest. You're clearly just a prisoner."
"Sima Cuo, just tell me—what price will you make our country of Chu pay?"
The smile on Sima Cuo's face became even stronger, and he said softly: "Wuguan is originally the territory of the Qin State. After this battle, it will be returned to the Qin State's management."
"The land of Danyang also belongs to the State of Qin."
"The Huainan Plain, which is thousands of miles away, needs to be ceded to Qin."
"From now on, Chu will surrender to Qin!"
King Huai of Chu was stunned.
He thought that the Qin State, with its great victory, would ask for a price that was all over the sky, but he still didn't expect it to be so outrageous!
Needless to say, Wuguan has been recaptured by the Qin people.
The land of Danyang will definitely not be defended.
But the Huainan Plain? Qin actually asked for the Huainan Plain?
Despite the size of Chu State's territory, many areas are actually backcountry, mountains, forests and swamps - there are only a few areas that are truly wealthy!
Fully 70% of the Chu State's food supply was provided by the Huainan Plain!
If this land was really given to the Qin State, the Chu State would be in ruins. From then on, the country's national power would decline, and it would not be much stronger than the likes of Han and Wei.
King Mihuai of Chu was angry!
It is true that he is indecisive, he is ignorant of loyalty and traitor, and it is true that he is very happy with success.
But, he is the king of the Chu people! No matter how useless he is on weekdays, he is still the king of toughness!
He couldn't do it if Chu State was to commit such acts of mutilation for his own safety!
Even if your life is saved for a while, what's the use? Will he bear infamy among future generations? For the face-saving King Chu, it would be better to die happily!
King Huai of Chu closed his eyes: "If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
Seeing the King of Chu who suddenly regarded death as home... Sima Cuo was greatly surprised!
Why? This Mihuai is different from what I imagined?
