After eight hundred miles of haste, not daring to slack off at all, we set off from Nanxia County at full speed, jumped over the Huaichuan River by boat, and went straight to Jingzhou City.
The distance between Jingzhou City and Nanxia County is not very far. It is just separated by the insurmountable Huaichuan River in the middle.
Fortunately, at this time, with the victory of the Qin Guojiang Battle in the Huaichuan River, the Jingzhou waters had been completely occupied by Yu Haoming's navy. Therefore! In order to facilitate the communication between Jingzhou City and Nanxia County, Dongfang Yu specially asked Qin's navy to arrange boats to cross the river on both sides of the river.
At this time, in Jingzhou City, the soldiers of the three armies were all repairing. Because the Qin army advanced very quickly, it went straight to Jingzhou in less than two months.
As a result, the Liao Kingdom and Bei Yan in the north had not had time to take action. certainly! Half a month ago, Dongfang Yu also received a letter from Wei Qing.
The letter said that Daliao in the north was preparing to move, and Beiyan in Liaodong was also dispatching troops. There are quite a lot of troops on both sides, and their movements and intentions can be said to be very obvious.
certainly! So far, there hasn't been any big war in the north, just saying! The strong smell of gunpowder is quite strong. now! The main force of Qin State is all in Jingzhou, but! The north is the foundation of the Qin State, and there is no room for any mistakes. This made Wei Qing extremely vigilant.
after all! Beiyan Gongsun Yan is just a fox. A fox many times more cunning than Cook.
I rushed from Nanxia County for 800 miles and arrived in Jingzhou City in only half a day. I rode straight to the Jingzhou Prince's Mansion.
"General Li Jing, urgent news, please take me quickly to see the king." The soldier kicked and hissed angrily and said directly to the guards guarding the palace.
Dongfang Yu had specifically ordered that special treatment should be given to the eight hundred miles urgent matter.
And seeing the latter's expression was extremely urgent, which was no small matter.
"Come in quickly with me, and I will take you to see the king." The guard said.
Immediately! Just one person opened the way and walked towards the inner hall.
This palace was originally the residence of King Chen Dongfangjie. Wasn't this the defeat of King Chen? It became a temporary place for Dongfang Yu and others to live.
However, I have to say that although the palace this guy lives in is not as big as Prince Qin's Palace, it is full of things, but it is much more impressive than Prince Qin's Palace. Any decorative item can be as luxurious as it can be!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
At this time, Dongfang Yu was secretly discussing matters with Xu Meng, Zhuge Xuanyu and other generals and ministers, whether to decide to go to Chu State or to return to Beiliang and call it a day! After recuperating and recuperating, he went on an eastward expedition.
Um!
Hearing the rapid knocking on the door outside, everyone's words paused for a moment.
"Your Majesty, General Li Jing's command is urgent. I have something urgent to ask you to see Your Majesty."
It turned out to be Li Jing's soldiers.
"Come in!" Judging from his tone, it seems that this matter is not an ordinary urgent matter!
Crunch!
The palace door is wide open.
Eight hundred miles rushed, he ran in quickly, and suddenly! It was the letter he took out and placed in his arms.
"Why are you so anxious?" Dongfang Yu frowned, as if he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Your Majesty, General Lantian and 20,000 Qin soldiers died in battle after annihilating more than 30,000 people from Chu. General Lantian committed suicide. This is the letter sent by General Li Jing."
"Please decide with your Majesty," the soldier said directly.
When he heard the news of Lan Tian's death in battle, Dongfang Yu's face was extremely dull. But at a glance, one can clearly feel that the coldness emanating from King Qin, and the viciousness accumulated from years of fighting on the battlefield, are so pure.
"Zi Yuan, bring it up." Dongfang Yu said calmly.
But everyone knows that their king is holding a fire in his heart! A raging fire that seemed to be able to devour both heaven and earth.
The calmer King Qin is, the most terrifying one.
The veterans and ministers who had been with Dongfang Yu for so many years understood angrily that the Chu State was really going to suffer this time.
Xuan Ziyuan presented the letter to Dongfang Yu.
After looking at it, Dongfang Yu originally wanted to postpone the attack on Chu State, but now, he still wants to postpone it.
"Xiao Huangqi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chu State, killed my beloved general... If we let this go, I am not worthy of being the king of Qin." Dongfang Yu said sternly.
Crackling.
Yu Wenhu's fist on the side was also clenched tightly, and a crackling, crisp bone sound was heard around him.
He and Lan Tian had followed Dongfang Yu very early, and their relationship was as strong as that of brothers.
Now, his brother is being killed by others. How can he, the eldest brother, just sit idly by and watch.
Yu Wenhu took a step directly, knelt down on one knee, solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lantian is the earliest general who followed you, and now! He was killed by the Chu Kingdom, and you asked the King to send troops to destroy the Chu Kingdom!"
"If not! Your Majesty can send one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to kill Xiao Huangqi and avenge Lantian."
Now Yu Wenhu was really overwhelmed by anger and hatred.
The war to destroy the country is not a casualty. The general strategy for the attack on Chu has not yet been formulated. It is not appropriate to attack Chu so quickly.
You need at least a month's buffer.
In this month, in addition to reorganizing the army to prepare for war, the Jingzhou Army can also be completely integrated into the Qin Army.
"Stand down, let me decide whether to attack Chu or not!" Dongfang Yu was very annoyed, and Yuwen Hu used this attitude to talk to him.
"Yuwenhu..." Xu Meng was anxious and quietly glanced at Yuwenhu.
No one knows Dongfang Yu's temper better than Xu Meng.
He knew that their king, even though he was usually amiable, would really disown him once he got angry!
Also, if you dare to make decisions for King Qin, you, Yu Wenhu, have a lot of brains.
What did Yuwenhu seem to understand?
He immediately retreated.
"Your Majesty, we should attack Chu sooner rather than later. According to my opinion, Xiao Huangqi, the governor of Chu, wanted to quietly capture the four southern counties of Jingzhou during the war between Qin and Chen."
"But I didn't expect that Qin's attack would be so fast. This disrupted Xiao Huangqi's plan to capture the four counties of Jingzhou."
"We put the overall situation first, so we retreated to Yuezhou." Zhuge Xuanyu analyzed, "If my calculations are good, Xiao Huangqi is already preparing to return to Jinling at this time. The Qin country is powerful, and Xiao Huangqi is shrewd, so he can naturally calculate, The power of Chu alone is not enough to resist Qin."
"Mr. Zhuge means that he, Xiao Huangqi, will send envoys to Wu and Yue to form an alliance to fight against Qin." Dongfang Yu asked.
If this is the case, the alliance of the three major overlords in Jiangdong is not a good thing.
