This is already an eviction order.
Lu Fan didn't expect that Chen Ba had such a personality that he wouldn't give him any extra chance to persuade him and let him speak like a flower. But it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
He had prepared a lot of words, but with the other party's words, he had no choice but to sigh, cup his hands and said: "If the general is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, he will surely have a bright future. I'll end it here. I hope you will." Think twice..."
Chen Ba ignored him.
Lu Fan sighed helplessly and said, "Goodbye."
Watching him leave, a Chu general moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare.
Although Chen Ba said that the morale of the Chu army was like a rainbow, in fact, people were already panicking. Firstly, the King of Chu was no longer popular. Secondly, the situation was like this. All the soldiers knew that Chuzhou was the last one left in their side. Thirdly, Rumors spread in the city, and although the unrest was suppressed many times by the Forbidden Army, it never stopped.
Under such internal and external troubles, Qin's hundreds of thousands of troops are about to join forces, and they are isolated in the city without help. How can the Chu army have any morale.
Not only the following, but also the generals in various ministries are also worried.
Chen Ba looked around and saw that all the generals were silent. He said seriously: "You are all generals in the army! What is the responsibility of a general? It is to protect the home and country and not give up an inch of territory!"
"The Qin Dynasty annexed the south of the Yangtze River and wanted to destroy Chu! At this time of crisis for our country and our country, as a soldier, you should be bloody on the battlefield! Fight for the country!"
"Listen to the order! Everyone in the army, anyone who threatens to surrender in the future will be killed without mercy!"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other first, and then they all had to clasp their fists and say, "No!"
In the evening of that day, Lu Fan returned to Qin Camp. After the meeting, Su Yi also asked straight to the point: "Do you have any good news, sir?"
"Alas." Lu Fan sighed, shook his head and said, "Chen Ba didn't give me a chance to persuade him. This time, I'm going to let Su Shuai down."
"Huh?" Su Yi raised his hand. This was what he expected, and said: "It doesn't matter, sir, you have tried your best. If Chen Ba doesn't surrender, then we will attack Chuzhou!"
As he spoke, he looked around and said in a loud voice: "Generals, listen to the order!"
"Complete all combat deployments within one day!"
"Listen to our military orders and launch an attack the next day!"
"No!" All the generals in the tent clasped their fists together.
That night, the Qin army began to mobilize on a large scale. On the next day, it completed the tactical deployment of the entire Chuzhou. Just when the entire army rested for a day and Su Yi was about to issue a general offensive order, a royal order was passed to the Chinese army. account.
The letter was written by Xiao Yuan himself, clearly ordering Su Yi to stop his aggressive attack on Chuzhou.
At this time, Su Yi's military deployment had been basically completed, but after receiving this royal order, Su Yi could only stop the current combat operations.
King Xiao Yuan of Qin, a real monarch on horseback, fought all the way to the north and south. The generals of the Qin army can be said to be his veterans, including Su Yi.
His prestige is too great.
Seeing that the deployment was completed, but the combat orders were still delayed, the generals of the Qin Army were greatly confused, and they couldn't help but find Su Yi and ask for the reason.
In the tent, the latter raised the silk book in his hand and said concisely and concisely: "Your Majesty has ordered us not to launch a forceful attack on Chuzhou."
"Ah? This..." The generals looked at each other, and Goldman couldn't help but said: "Then, what should we do next?"
"Wait." Su Yi still said simply.
Next, one hundred thousand Qin troops began to attack Chuzhou from several directions, but there was no substantive action. The entire battlefield looked more like an encirclement without fighting.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan arrived at the front line.
Together with Peng Shuang's and Yan Qi's troops, a total of hundreds of thousands of troops met outside Chuzhou.
After hearing the news, the generals went out to greet Xiao Yuan early. When they saw Xiao Yuan, they all lifted up their robes, knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "See your Majesty——"
"Everyone is flat." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, wearing black brocade clothes and hair tied with a jade hairpin. As he walked forward, he said aloud: "We are discussing matters in the tent."
He did not delay at all. After the generals stood up, they quickly followed them and filed into the military camp.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, Xiao Yuan naturally took the commanding position directly above him, and the generals began to stand on the left and right.
He first understood the current battle situation, then looked at Lu Fan and said, "Master Lu, have you ever tried to persuade Chen Ba to surrender?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fan returned.
"Very good." Xiao Yuan nodded and said directly: "You go there again."
"Huh?" Lu Fan was a little confused. After he came to his senses, he said, "But Your Majesty, Chen Ba is firm in his attitude. I, I, I may not be able to persuade him."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "If you can't persuade me to surrender, you can just go to Chu Camp to have some fun."
"This." Although he didn't understand what the king meant, Lu Fan could only accept the order: "Yes, I will prepare now and try to persuade him successfully."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, looked at Su Yi again, and said straight to the point: "I know the general's intention, but it is not necessary to attack Chuzhou now. We can disintegrate them from within and avoid the unnecessary use of soldiers. casualties."
As he spoke, he continued: "Chen Ba's refusal to surrender does not mean that the other civil and military officials of the Chu State will not surrender. With the current situation, as long as the important ministers of the Chu State make some impeachments, the King of Chu will definitely be suspicious of Chen Ba based on his character."
"The king is talking about a divorce plan?" Su Yi couldn't help but ask.
"At this time, alienation is the best strategy for Chu State." Xiao Yuan replied with a smile, then unfolded a silk book, picked up the brush and started writing.
After he finished writing the letter, he handed it to Lin Chu and said, "Send it to the city for careful consideration."
"No." The latter took it respectfully, bowed and left.
There are 30,000 border troops in Chuzhou, and their fighting strength is not weak. If they really want to attack by force, the Qin army will certainly be able to defeat it. However, this is the capital of Chu State, with a tall city and sufficient defensive equipment. Once they fight, it will be a fierce battle.
If the fight continues like this, the casualties will be huge. If you can take it lightly, it will be a good idea.
Xiao Yuan's secret letter soon reached the hands of the leader of the fine craftsman in the city. The letter made it clear that he was asked to secretly contact Han Gao and other Chu ministers.
You know, at this point in the Chu Kingdom, countless officials have sent letters to Xiao Yuan, either to save their lives or to seek a way out, and they have tried to please him. Han Gao is the most important person among them.
His official position in the Chu State was not low. He was a second-grade Guanglu doctor with a rank of two thousand shi. He was in charge of many admonishment matters and participated in important military and political affairs. He was deeply trusted by the King of Chu.
It doesn't matter if Chen Ba refuses to surrender. As long as these Chu ministers surrender to Qin, it is conceivable that a mere guard general cannot stop the high-ranking officials from jointly slandering him.
At night, Han Gao's mansion.
The leader of the Qin army, Xi Zuo, was standing respectfully below.
Han Gao was holding a letter in his hand and reading it carefully.
After he finished reading, his face showed obvious emotional fluctuations, and he couldn't help but said: "Is this letter true?"
"My king's handwriting can't be fake."
