"Xiang Yan!"
In Shouchun City, the King of Chu picked up the wine on the eucalyptus and threw it to the ground. With a crisp impact, the sweet wine flew everywhere.
"How dare he Xiang Yan!"
"And those Qin people, damn them!"
The King of Chu clenched his teeth so hard that his eyes almost bulged out.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao hurriedly consoled me: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This incident is just as Shangzhu expected. The Qin army that attacked was only a few thousand people at most. They deceived me Shouchun with the false promise of 30,000 Qin troops, just to rob me." After taking away the prisoners, you can escape easily."
"Now there is news from the east that they are fleeing from the city. I think these Qin people want to detour north from the eastern border of Chu State and return to Qin State. I also ask your Majesty to immediately dispatch the princes from various places to intercept and send out a large army to pursue. As for the above Zhu Guo’s actions are also to defeat the Qin army and protect our Chu State, please don’t be angry, Your Majesty!”
The King of Chu looked at Jing Zhao with his cud in his hands, his eyes cold.
At first, King Chu of Chu was indeed frightened by the sudden appearance of the Qin army.
After all, the main force of the Chu army was in Huaibei at that time. The 5,000 Chu troops responsible for escorting the prisoners were suddenly attacked by the Qin people. The defeated soldiers were driven to Shouchun City and were hunted down in front of the entire city of Chu people.
The Qin military captain named Hei Butt even exposed his buttocks and insulted him in front of King Chu.
How could such a bold and bold move not make King Chu of Chu frightened, not to mention the Chu businessmen who had fled back to testify that 30,000 Qin troops were about to arrive.
Therefore, in the first few days, the King of Chu carried Chu and recruited the Chu people in the city to defend the city. He was frightened every day, fearing that 30,000 Qin troops would suddenly attack the city and invade Shouchun, and take him prisoner to Xianyang.
But as time passed, not only did the so-called "30,000 Qin troops" not appear, but even the Qin army that attacked Qu Ming at the foot of the Eight Mountains made no next move.
Only on the Eight Mountains, the occasional Chu people who dared to approach could see many Qin soldiers standing guard and patrolling in the mountain mist.
The news came back that the Qin army was very large in number, holding spears and standing very straight. It looked like a well-trained army.
This made the King of Chu even more frightened. Although he didn't know what the Qin people were doing on the mountain, he was deeply afraid of the Qin army coming down the mountain, so he didn't dare to send troops out of the city. He just sat guarding Shouchun and reinforced the city defense every day. Waiting for Xiang Yan's response.
Until news came one after another from villages and cities in the east.
A Qin army is heading east!
This Qin army numbered only a few thousand people. They were wearing red Chu army armor and marched all the way east. They deceived several cities along the way and went straight into the hinterland of Chu's eastern border.
At this time, the 10,000 Chu troops sent back by Xiang Yan also arrived. With confidence, King Chu Chu dared to send troops to the Eight Mountains to check. One look made him blush.

In the east, where did the 30,000 Qin troops come from? This is all a trick of the Qin people! "
Jin Xia sneered and said: "Songyang Lord Damiao, the reason why you didn't see the 30,000 Qin troops is of course because they were all scared away by the king!"
"Facing the sneak attack of the Qin army, the king remained calm and collected. He recruited the young men in the city to defend the city and strengthened the city defense day and night. He did not give the Qin army any chance to take advantage of it. At the same time, he immediately sent envoys to summon the Shangzhu army to come back for reinforcements in order to attack the Qin army. , and annihilate them in this land of Huainan."
"Under the wise command of Your Majesty, the General of the Qin Army saw that our Shouchun City was solidly walled and our army and people were united, so it was estimated that it would be difficult to capture it. In addition, our Chu army was about to come back, and they would be in danger of being destroyed by then. That’s why we left a wooden trap on the Eight Mountains and led our troops to retreat westward. The reason why we haven’t found any trace of them is because they have already escaped!”
"As for the proof of the existence of the 30,000-strong army, it is the eastbound Qin army!"
"Why did these thousands of people abandon the near and seek the far away, go eastward, and destroy my city along the way? It's just to attract the attention of our Chu army, so as to cover the westward retreat of the 30,000 Qin army! Such! It’s a simple plan, why didn’t you, Lord Songyang, see it?”
Jing Zhao was stunned. He stared blankly at Jin Xia, who had a heartbroken expression on his face.
Is what this person said serious?
"As expected of Jin Qing, he can see through the Qin people's schemes at a glance. He is indeed an important official of the country who is not loyal."
The King of Chu held his crotch in his hands and praised him. He nodded and said, "Only Jin Qing can understand the unwillingness of others."
"It's a pity that Xiang Yan only focused on Mengwu's partial army, but failed to pay attention to the 30,000 Qin army that sneaked into Shouchun City. If he could have led the army back as soon as he received Bugu's edict, instead of just sending Ten thousand people have slowly arrived, and they will definitely be able to join forces with Bu Gu to attack the Qin army and annihilate them in Huainan. How can we let the 30,000 Qin army escape?"
Jin Xia narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "What the king is saying is that this was all due to Shangzhu's misjudgment, which led to the delay in fighting and letting go of the Qin army."
After the king and his ministers sang in harmony, King Chu Chu turned his attention to Jing Zhao, whose face was full of astonishment.
"Xiang Yan made a mistake in judgment and did not listen to Bu Gu's edict, which caused the 30,000 Qin troops to retreat westward calmly. This was a big mistake. However, Shangzhu was an important minister of the country and had just defeated Li Xin and achieved great success. Bu Gu also I don’t want to pursue it too much, so I’ll just let it go.”
"Now the 30,000 Qin troops have fled long ago and cannot be pursued, but the Qin troops heading east are still there. They will definitely have to cross the Huaibei River sooner or later."
"Jing Zhao, you immediately send your horses, travel day and night, and send orders to all the feudal lords and county magistrates in the east, asking them to recruit more soldiers immediately. They must stop and annihilate the Qin army."
….
"The more than 10,000 people who have just been sent back by Shangzhu Kingdom are asked to leave the city and pursue eastward. We must annihilate the Qin army before it escapes!"
"We must not let them escape back to Qin! We must capture the leader of the Qin army alive, bring him to Shouchun for Bu Gu, and smash his chariot! Chariot!"
"And that black butt, bring him alive to Shouchun, Bu Gu will have his ass beaten with a thousand bamboo sticks!"
By the end of his words, King Chu's face was full of hatred, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
How could you not avenge such a shame and humiliation?
Jing Zhao was confused by the words of Chu King Fu Chu and You Yin Jin Xia. Before he could react, he saw that the king had issued an order to intercept the Qin army. He could only accept the promise and retreat in confusion.
After Jing Zhao left, only King Chu Chu and You Yin Jin Xia were left in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the fact that the 30,000 Qin troops were frightened away must be announced to the whole city in order to show the majesty of your Majesty." Jin Xia said calmly.
The King of Chu nodded his head, very satisfied with the proposal of his favorite minister.
Thirty thousand Qin troops.
must have!
No, there must be one!
Otherwise, if the news about the King of Chu carrying the cud and being frightened by thousands of Qin troops using lies spread out, wouldn't he become the biggest laughing stock in the world, and how would the Chu people in the country come to see him?
Even, this is related to his and Xiang Yan's decision on this matter.
Your Majesty, you are not wrong.
Wrong only
It could be you Xiang Yan.
Moreover, Xiang Yan ignored the edict and safety of his great king and went straight north to Xiangcheng. It was said that he was going straight to attack the Mengwu Qin army. For the safety of Chu State, in fact, he was echoing Xiong Qi in Chen Ying City.
"Xiang Yan...Xiong Qi..."
The king of Chu murmured while holding his cud.
…
More than two hundred miles east of Shouchun, a Qin army that had traveled a long distance finally arrived at their destination.
"Zhongli."
Zhao Tuo sat on his horse and looked at a city in the distance near the south bank of the Huai River.
That was the place he chose to cross the Huaihe River.
They will cross the Huai River from Zhongli City, and then start heading north, passing through the cities of Chu State and reaching the border of Qin State.
This journey is not long, but it does not mean that their trip is safe.
Within enemy territory, danger is everywhere.
Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze and said to his left and right, "Let General Qu Ming go and call the door."
Dongjun taking off
