"General, an army of the Chu State was discovered ten miles outside Pingyu City. Their number is no less than 200,000!"

Qin Zu reported to Li Xin in a panic.

Hear the words.

Not to mention Li Xin, even Zhang Min and others were all shocked. Two hundred thousand! When did Chu have so many soldiers and horses? Counting the more than 100,000 who fought with General Wang Ben, and the 100 who were in Qufu alone.

More than ten thousand, now there are another two hundred thousand troops here.

How could the Chu State have so many soldiers and horses?

"Pass my order to all the soldiers in the army to immediately join General Meng Tian and head to Chengfu!"

Li Xin was also panicked at this time. When he thought that Meng Tian was still leading troops to attack Qiuqiu, Li Xin understood that if he wanted to face the Chu army at the same time and recapture Yingchen, he must gather all his troops.

Otherwise, the Qin army, which was divided into two groups, fought for days and was deprived of food, would sooner or later be surrounded and killed by the Chu army.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

Zhang Min, Ximen Fei and others all gathered together to take orders, then turned and left.

Three days later.

Li Xin led the Qin army and finally reunited with Meng Tian's troops. However, facing the rebellion of Ying and Chen and the pursuit of an army of 200,000 led by Xiang Yan, Li Xin and Meng Tian still did not dare to stay and decided to go to the city first.

Father rests.

After all, there is no food at the moment, and the army has been fighting for days, with no rest at all. Facing the Chu army waiting for work, the chance of winning is slim. They must go to Chengfu. Moreover, as long as they arrive at Chengfu, General Wang Ben will definitely find a way once he gets the news.

rescue.

However, since Yingchen could not go back, Juyang, Yanying, and Shencheng were all the residences of the Chu State, so going there was a dead end. Li Xin and Meng Tian could only go directly to Chengfu via the ancient road among the endless mountains.

This road was not easy to walk, which also caused Li Xin to be overtaken by the Chu army before the army could take precautions after walking for three days.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

In a battle with the Chu army in the wilderness of the Chu State, the Qin army had no advantage, not to mention that the Qin army was still a tired army.

Looking at the Chu army pouring out from under the mountains in the distance, as well as the Chu army behind them, all of them were chasing after them. Li Xin, Meng Tian and others were riding war horses and looking around in panic.

"Deus ex machina!"

Li Xin drew his sword angrily, glanced at Meng Tian and others, and pointed his sword in the direction of Cheng Fu, making a desperate move to break through and leave.

Meng Tian, ​​Ximen Fei, Ying Xi and other generals also drew their swords and rushed towards the Chu army in the direction of Cheng Fu with their cronies.

Among the Chu army.

Xiang Yan rode his war horse and looked at the Qin army, not in a hurry.

From here to the city father, it is Chu territory. Facing the Chu army's surprise attack, the Qin army cannot escape. At present, Xiang Yan is more concerned about besieging and killing more Qin armies. Chu wants to get a chance to breathe and force

Qin General Wang Ben led his troops back to the defense. The current Qin army must be killed as much as possible.

"Father, I will lead the troops to capture and kill the general!"

Xiang Liang was riding a war horse at this time, looking at the Qin army, he couldn't wait, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Behind Xiang Liang are the elite troops and horses of the Xiang family, which were all led by Xiang Liang in the past. It can be said that those soldiers and generals are all Xiang family's confidants.

"Go! Remember to be careful!"

Xiang Yan did not refuse Xiang Liang's request. Xiang Yan naturally knew Xiang Liang's abilities.

Fan Zeng also rode a war horse and looked at Xiang Liang commanding the elite Xiang clan to kill the Qin army without making a sound.

"In the battle of being trapped, we must punish his power! Then let the Qin army commander leave!"

Fan Zeng looked straight at the Qin army. Facing the huge crowds of the Qin army, Fan Zeng knew that once the Qin army engaged in a battle between trapped beasts, the Chu army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. So after thinking about it, Fan Zeng suggested that it is better to first

The Lord will leave.

Before leaving, under the encirclement and killing of the Chu army, the morale of the Qin soldiers will definitely dissipate, and they will no longer have the intention to fight to the death.

"good!"

Xiang Yan heard Fan Zeng's words and turned to look at Fan Zeng, her eyes full of amazement. Compared to Xiang Liang and other gentry disciples, Fan Zeng's words were always the least, but they were extremely useful until the point was critical.

Thinking that in the future, even if she is not around, Fan Zeng will help the Xiang family and the King of Chu, Xiang Yan finally feels relieved.

As long as the King of Chu is told not to listen to villains in the future, and Fan Zeng is murdered by a traitor like Lord Xinling, the Chu State will surely have no worries.

"Send the order and let go of the Qin army general!"

Xiang Yan turned around and ordered.

"promise!"

A Chu army general quickly handed over his hand and then rode away.

"Ying Zheng! Knowing that the Qin army was defeated, do you still dare to attack Chu?"

Xiang Yan, riding a war horse, thought in her mind, and then she, Fan Zeng and a group of trusted generals looked calmly at the battlefield in the distance, filled with the roar of killing.

This war was Xiang Yan's gift to Qin King Ying Zheng for sending troops to attack Chu. Even Ying Zheng would not be able to accept the 200,000 Qin troops.

…………………………

Inside the Shouchun City of Chu State.

A banquet is being held for all the ministers and officials in the palace hall.

Xiong Fuchu sat on the throne, feeling the gaze of the beauty's eyes, watching the beauty next to him holding the wine to his mouth, and Xiong Fuchu drank the wine with a smile on his face.

Xiong Fuchu could finally appreciate how much he enjoyed his life as King of Chu. He held Concubine Jing Ai in his arms and looked at the civil and military officials laughing and chatting in the hall.

Xiong Fuchu knew that there were still many noble clans in Chu State who had quite a lot to say about him as the king of Chu. However, Xiong Fuchu was not worried. As long as General Xiang Yan defeated the Qin army this time and Chu conquered Wei, then the territory of Chu State would be

, all the nobles will unite as one again and serve him, King Chu, Fu Chu.

The strong Chu that the previous kings of Chu have failed to achieve may finally be achieved by his own hands, and his descendants will inherit everything from him and continue to let Chu State stand side by side with Qin State, or even annex Qin State.

Think of this.

Xiong Fuchu felt happy and had great ambitions in his heart, and he couldn't wait to realize them immediately.

Outside the palace, a Chu soldier on horseback hurried to the gate of the palace. After dismounting, he quickly informed the general of the palace guard about his intention, and then handed a roll of bamboo slips to the general of the palace guard. The general of the palace guard quickly turned around and ran away.

Enter the palace.

"Your Majesty! It's not good!!"

In the main hall, the officials of the Chu State were enjoying the dance of the female Chu singers in the hall. Suddenly, when they saw the palace guards hurried in, most of the officials couldn't help but frown.

After all, we are having fun and no one wants to be disturbed.

The same thing happened to King Chu Xiong Fuchu on the throne. Xiong Fuchu looked at the palace guards with an unhappy face.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

Xiong Fuchu asked.

When the palace guard general heard this, he quickly picked up the bamboo slips with both hands.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Zhongwu that the Qin army suddenly crossed the Miao River and attacked the Chu army. Prince Qi was defeated and captured. All the Chu generals were captured, including Lancheng, Xiyi, Juancheng, Zhuqiu, and Tancheng.

They have been lost one after another, and the Qin army has moved south!"

The palace guard opened his mouth to report.

Following the palace guard's words, the hall, which was extremely lively just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet and silent. All the Chu officials looked at the palace guard with shocked expressions, their minds going blank.

Was the eastern border of Chu State lost?

More than 100,000 Chu troops were defeated by the Qin army. Has the Qin army taken the opportunity to move south?

Inside the palace.

"What, Bai Yan has gone south? This..."

In the main hall, Xiong Fuchu was also caught off guard by the news. He stood up with a shocked look on his face. Concubine Jing also looked panicked. She glanced at the general of the palace guard and then looked at King Chu Fuchu beside her. She wanted to know that her clan members

Jing Yu is also with the army. If the Qin army goes south, doesn't it mean that her people are also in danger?

"Your Majesty, now our army of Chu State has mobilized troops to Juyang and Jiaocheng. The defenses to the east of Chu State are empty. Qin General Bai Yan is sitting south with nearly 200,000 Qin troops. He must be heading for Shouchun.

, please send the message from your Majesty immediately so that General Xiang Yan or General Jing Qi can lead the troops back to defend Shouchun!"

After a Chu State minister came to his senses, he quickly stood up, walked around the wooden table, came to the center of the hall, hurriedly faced the bear on the hall, raised his hands and begged.

"I second the proposal!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to order General Xiang Yan and General Jing Qi to return to Shouchun!"

Many other Chu ministers also stood up and agreed.

In fact, when the Qin army went south, in the Chu land east of Shouchun, although there was no Chu army, it was not easy for the Qin army to conquer those important Chu cities in a short period of time. The reason why these Chu officials were so anxious,

The biggest reason is that the clans of these officials all have their own fiefdoms in the east of Chu State. When the Qin army goes south, their families will be the first to lose their interests.
