At this moment, King Chu was extremely confident.

Even though his people did not find Mi Qi, at this time, he no longer believed that Mi Qi could threaten him.

At this moment, the only thing he was worried about was Xiang Yan.

As long as Xiang Yan is held back by the Qin army, he can calmly integrate the power of Chu in Huainan and put Chu completely in his hands.

Because of this, King Chu was extremely confident.

With the general situation in hand, he was naturally invincible to the Chu State.

It's just that the direction of the war was definitely not what he could have predicted.

King Chu of Chu came to power due to a mutiny, but he was only a third-rate general. Compared with generals at the level of Wang Jian and Xiang Yan, he lacked too much.

He had forgotten the tragic situation when Bai Qi flooded the capital of Ying.

Huai Shui can become his sharp sword and stop the Qin warriors from going south. Similarly, Huai Shui can also become Meng Tian's hand and swallow their sharp blades in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, the flood!"

Jing Tao's eyes were full of fear, the mighty Huai River flowed southward, carrying the power of destroying the heaven and the earth, straight into Yingshou.

"Where did the flood come from? Da Sima, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this, the King of Chu turned towards Jing Tong with an indifferent expression on his face and said, "The Qin people are still in Huaibei. Is it possible that Xiang Yan wants to go south to Yingshou?"

"With Wang Jian here, does he dare?"

"Your Majesty, the flood is coming from Xia Cai!" Jing Tong didn't care so much and hurriedly carried the cud towards the King of Chu and said: "Your Majesty, leave quickly!"

"Go to the north of the city!"

"promise."

When the King of Chu climbed to the top of the city with his cud, he looked at the mighty water, his eyes full of panic: "The battle of Huai River, the people of Qin are going to repeat what happened in Yingdu!"

"Da Sima, order the army to evacuate!"

Hearing this, Jing Tong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, we have no chance to retreat!"

"The scouts outside the city discovered the banner of the Qin warriors. It was the banner of Qin's general Wang Jian!"

"At the same time, the banner of Qin General Meng Tian was found in the direction of Xia Cai, which means that we have been surrounded by the Qin people!"

"snort!"

At this moment, the King of Chu was extremely angry and said to Jing Tong: "Send the order to the army to defend the city to the death!"

"Although the Huai River is huge, I, Yingshou, am also a strong city!"

"It is absolutely impossible for the Qin people to replicate Bai Qi's attack on Yingdu!"

"At the same time, issue a royal edict to organize the people to waterproof!"

"promise!"

...........

The king of Chu was very confident.

He knew in his heart that if he, the king, retreated at this time, it would cause chaos in the Chu Kingdom.

The most important thing is that Qin's two great generals have arrived. He has no other choice but to hold on to Ying Shou.

He has a clear understanding of his abilities.

King Chu Chu knew clearly that neither he leading the army nor Grand Sima Jingzhu leading the army could be a match for Meng Tian and Wang Jian.

Since you can't defeat Meng Tian and Wang Jian, leaving the city is tantamount to death!

At the same time, Xiang Yan is chasing Zhao Shu.

"General, the distance between us and Gongzi Shu's army is a bit strange!"

A look of solemnity appeared in Qu Ding's eyes, and he turned towards Xiang Yan and said: "The Major General led the army to pursue him. We followed up, but the distance between us and the Major General has been shrinking."

"However, the distance between the young general and Gongzi Shu has always remained constant!"

"According to the analysis of the battlefield situation, Gongzishu's army did not suffer heavy losses at all, and they were even at their peak condition!"

"You know, the people of Qin are good at raising horses, and the cavalry themselves are the best in the world!"

"Since Gongzi Shu can conquer Qixian, this means that Gongzi Shu has not only cavalry in his hands, but also infantry and equipment battalions."

"And the Major General leads only cavalry!"

........

Xiang Yan also frowned after hearing Qu Ding's words.

He also noticed something unusual: "Do you think Gongzi Shu is deliberately tempting us?"

"Defrauding defeat to lure our army into their ambush?"

"Um!"

Nodding, Qu Ding said in a deep voice: "General, it's not impossible!"

"According to the strength of Qixian's city defense, as well as the supplies of grain, grass and weapons in Qixian, with the bravery of the Qin warriors and the methods of Gongzishu, let alone holding on for three days, even if it can be held on for a month, the general will not be surprised. !”

"However, in the battle of Qixian, Gongzi Shu only lasted for one day!"

"After our army's real all-out attack, they only had one confrontation and then retreated hastily!"

"With the advantageous terrain of Qixian County, let alone a famous general like Gongzi Shu, even a junior general with an army of 50,000 can hold on for three days!"

"You have a point!"

A look of solemnity appeared in Xiang Yan's eyes, and she shouted loudly, "Map!"

"promise!"

At this moment, Xiang Yan opened the map with a deep look: "Our location is here, this is Qixian County, and Xiang Liang's location is here!"

"And this is the location of Gongzi Shu!"

"In front, there is only Haixia!"

"But we have no choice!"

"We need to replenish food and grass in Haixia and let the soldiers rest, otherwise, we will not be able to hold on to the East China Sea!"

"Moreover, given our current position, if we want to rush to the East China Sea, we must pass through it."

At this point, Xiang Yan changed the topic and asked Qu Ding, "Where is Zhaotuo's army?"

"General, according to reliable information, Zhaotuo's army has also left Daze Township at this moment and is advancing towards Haixia!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yan's eyes were full of solemnity. He pondered for a long time and said: "Send an order to Xiang Liang to slow down the pursuit and wait for the army to follow!"

"At the same time, send a letter to Zhao Tao, telling him that Hai Xia is most likely a trap set by the Qin people!"

"promise!"

Nodding in agreement, Qu Ding turned around and ordered the messenger.

Looking at the map, Xiang Yan felt complicated. After Qu Ding's reminder and analysis of various information, he knew in his heart that the possibility of the Qin people setting up a conspiracy in Haixia was extremely high.

Judging from the information they have now, there is also a Qin army to the north of Qixian County in the direction of Daze Township, and there is also a Qin army to the south of Qixian County.

This means that Zhao Shu’s purpose has been revealed!

"Gongzi Shu, Wang Jian's main army is far away in Huaibei, and Mengtian's people are in Xiacai. I have nothing to fear if I rely on you alone!"

At this moment, Xiang Yan's eyes were full of confidence.

From the information he obtained, it was naturally clear that Qixian and Haixia's generation only had an army under Zhao Shu.

He has always understood the movements of the Qin army.

Chen Di has one hundred thousand, Meng Tian holds one hundred thousand, and Wang Jian holds part of it. Therefore, Zhao Shu's army at the moment will not exceed 150,000.

Judging from the situation in Qixian County, the army directly controlled by Zhao Shu would not exceed 50,000.

With a flash of lightning in his mind, Xiang Yan figured it out.

He knew in his heart that the three armies north of Qixian, south of Qixian, and Qixian were all subordinate to Zhao Shu.
