Zhao Zhang sighed, feeling very disappointed!
Chu State's emergency military report... The Quyang Marquis Mi Liang must have been overwhelmed, but he was defeated by the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition...
To be honest, Zhao Zhang was not surprised by this result——
Qin general Sima Cuo is one of the top generals of the contemporary era. Even his subordinates, Wei general Gongsun Xi and Han general Baoyuan, are veteran generals who can stand alone... He has an army of 300,000 under his command, which is several times larger than the Chu army.
Failure is inevitable.
A few days ago, Zhao Zhang asked his father Zhao Yong in private - if his father commanded the army, could he repel Sima Cuo?
Zhao Yong shook his head at that time and asked himself that he was unable to resist if he went into battle himself.
After all, the strength gap between the two sides is really too big!
It's just... I didn't expect Xiong Wuliang to be defeated so quickly!
Zhao Zhang looked at Zhao Yong - his father also looked solemn at this moment.
Zhao Yong has always been very concerned about the situation on the Chu battlefield.
According to Zhao Yong's judgment, Xiong Wuliang can at least fight to the death in Yingdu, and delaying it for more than a month is not a problem.
When Sima Cuo's army comes back for reinforcements, it will be two months later!
Two months was enough for Zhao Yong to stab the Qin people in the butt.
"We lost so quickly." Zhao Yong also frowned and said to himself, "Could it be that my judgment of Mi Liang was wrong?"
The attack on Qin this time was already on the string and had to be launched... Since Xiong Wuliang was defeated quickly, he had to speed up! It should still be some time before Sima Cuo's army comes back for reinforcements. If done properly, it may be enough to achieve quite good results.
"What's the situation in Chu State? Is Xiong Wuliang dead?" Zhao Zhang asked bluntly.
Understanding the situation on the Chu battlefield will be more helpful in judging the length of time Sima Cuo returned...
The knight was stunned, and then replied honestly: "Back to the eldest son, Xiong Wuliang is still alive!"
Zhao Zhang nodded.
Also, a well-known guy like Xiong Wuliang is definitely worth more as a prisoner than as a corpse.
Just listen to the knight continue to talk: "The Marquis Quyang of Chu designed to lure the enemy, so he set up an empty city to lure Sima Cuo's army into the capital of Ying, and then burned the royal city..."
"Hundreds of thousands of coalition troops were burned to ashes!"
"The Chu army has a great victory! It is currently recovering the lost ground... As for the news about Sima Cuo himself, it is still unclear." The knight elaborated.
Zhao Yong nodded: "I see...ah? What? Blind?"
Senseless!
Zhao Zhang was also confused!
The father and son both widened their eyes, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Did I hear it wrong?
Holding the grass, the Chu people defended it? Not only did they hold on... but they also annihilated Sima Cuo's 300,000-strong army!
Oh my God!
The knight repeated it truthfully again. This time Zhao Yong and his son heard it clearly. They couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment and were speechless for a long time.
Shock!
Tens of thousands of defeated troops, annihilation of 300,000 coalition troops... Is this really a record that humans can achieve?
Zhao Yong asked a few more questions in detail, and finally waved his hand and sent the knight away. Afterwards, the confident King of Zhao held his hands on his forehead and sat there for a long time. Finally, he said firmly: "This man is like a god in his military skills. I am not as good as him!"
…
In any case, the situation at this moment is too favorable to Zhao Guo.
Zhao Yong and his son were silent for a long time, and finally made up their minds together - they must seize this once-in-a-century opportunity and tear a piece of flesh off Qin!
Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhao Yong finally said: "After this battle, we must send envoys to Yingdu as soon as possible."
Zhao Zhangshen thought so.
Zhao and Chu are separated by Wei and South Korea and are not bordering each other... The two countries have good relations and sandwich the Central Plains, which is beneficial to each other.
Not to mention the strength shown by Xiong Wuliang... It is better to be friends with this person than to be his enemy!
…
The news of Chu's great victory spread throughout the world, and the whole world was shocked.
No one could have imagined that such a fatal situation would be broken by Xiong Wuliang.
Not only did he protect the country from destruction, he even achieved a great victory that stunned the world!
Suddenly, Qu Yanghou's name was widely recited by the world.
The princes and nobles from all over the country all looked at each other and were deeply shocked.
Even the beautiful young woman in her boudoir is no longer unfamiliar with this person's name... Out of curiosity, she searched for the past battle history and deeds of this Qu Yanghou. After learning a little more about it, her heart skipped a beat. , horrified.
The Zhou royal family in Luoyang immediately sent the old master as an envoy to the State of Chu.
Praise Marquis Quyang for his illustrious martial arts in being the forerunner of the king and repelling the traitors!
Although Chu State's vitality is severely damaged, as long as Quyang Hou Xiong Liang is here, no one dares to underestimate him!
…
At this time, the protagonist Xiong Wuliang, who caused a worldwide sensation, was still unaware of everything in the outside world.
Xiong Wuliang was sitting on a bronze chariot with a gloomy expression, not the proud look that ordinary people would imagine after a great battle.
The hand holding the carved railing had its nails dug deeply into the flesh.
The army aiming to regain the lost ground marched in silence instead of laughing.
Behind Xiong Wuliang, Zhao Hua and others all looked livid——
Along the way, even though they had been fully prepared for the tragedy in the Huainan Plain, everyone was still shocked!
To say it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood would not be an exaggeration!
The corpses of civilians lying all over the place were left to be pecked and torn by crows and wild dogs... If it hadn't been for late autumn and the weather had turned slightly colder, I'm afraid a large-scale plague would have broken out.
Once upon a time, the richest and most fertile hinterland of Chu State was actually such a scene.
There were Chu people with bruises all over their bodies standing in the field, looking blankly at the passing army of Marquis Quyang with dull expressions.
These are all refugees.
They luckily escaped the butcher knife of the coalition forces, but they were homeless.
The coalition forces not only killed and looted, but also set fire to everything they passed... Winter is about to enter, and most of the countless refugees may not be able to survive this winter.
Chu State, this time it’s really hard!
Xiong Wuliang had no choice but to order the corpses to be collected as much as possible and burned together to avoid the plague.
At the same time, relief food is distributed to those refugees who have suffered catastrophic disasters.
…
Le Yi let out a long sigh - he was not originally from Chu, but he still felt sad when he saw what was happening before him: "My lord, the miserable situation in the Huainan Plain is so terrible."
"In a short period of time, our country, Chu, may not be able to fight anymore."
Xiong Wuliang took a deep breath, feeling very unwilling.
According to Xiong Wuliang's previous thoughts - at this moment, the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han were beaten and crippled. The Chu State wanted to take this opportunity to launch a massive counterattack and invade the territories of Qin, Wei and Han to seek revenge...
However, Xiong Wuliang also knew that Le Yi was right at this time.
The state of Chu was in such a miserable state and had no time to take care of itself. How could there be any spare energy for an expedition?
If it is not handled properly in time, by the time winter comes, there will be countless indirect deaths after the war...
Xiong Wuliang looked at Zhao Hua and ordered in a deep voice——
