Chapter 227 Mo Ao (4)

"Mo Ao, what is the order of the King of Chu?" He led the team back south, and Qu Li looked at the clan brothers who made their Qu clan proud of it with some concern. The King of Chu issued seven consecutive orders to the Jinsha River camp, but in the end they had not saved Jing Yang's defeat. Such actions would make the king suspicious.

"So what about the order of the King of Chu?" A trace of disdain appeared in his eyes. Qu Fu looked to the northeast. His great-grandfather was forced into the river by the former king to protect the Qu family. Qu Fu will never forget this hatred and humiliation. When their Qu family gained the position of Zuo Yin, they stood in the court with a strong attitude again, and even the King of Chu could not do anything to them.

When he received the order from the King of Chu, Qu Fu decided on a strategy that it was not appropriate to fight with the Zhao army, and to deal with the King of Chu's face.

When traveling to Zhao State, Qu Fu deeply felt the courage and fearlessness that penetrated into his bones, especially the spirit of dying. The eight stone tablets outside Handan City had long tied the Zhao people's morale and people's hearts together. The soldiers were proud of defeating, and the people were proud of being Zhao people. In this case, their combat power was far better than that of Chu State. In addition, the king, wise ministers and wise generals emerged. Qu Fu could see that the Zhao army's military strength would be strong in the next few decades, and even the Qin army would avoid its edge.

Furthermore, the Qin army was still stationing troops in Guizhou. If the Chu army was too damaged, especially the elite troops of the Jinsha River camp were damaged, Qu Fu believed that the Qin army would never mind being involved in the gold mine, and the rest of the countries were even happy to see it. The biggest enemy of Chu is still the Qin State, which is directly bordering and eyeing covetously, rather than the Zhao State, which is blocked by Han and Wei, especially for the Jinsha River region, the fundamental part of the Qu family.

Therefore, under the strict order of Qu Fu to preserve his combat power, the ten thousand elite cavalry, who could have caught up with the Battle of Wujiang, slowed down their support and rushed to Wujiang after the war ended.

Qu Fu did not feel any guilt about the losses of the Shouchun camp. It was all the soldiers of the Jing clan, so what did it have to do with him? The only thing is that Jing clan was eager for success and instant benefits in order to seek success and instant benefits, trying to use the benefits of gold mines to tempt the countries to confront Qin and Zhao in exchange for the capital of their Jing clan. The people of the Jing clan did not think about it carefully. Even if they defeated Li Yu, they would only anger Zhao. How could the other countries compete with Chu and the powerful Qin? Since they had already entered the Qin Dynasty's mouth, it was not so easy to regain Qianzhong, and what was the use of the empty promise of the leader of Qi's state?

Looking at the clan brother who was determined to look resolute, Qu Li opened his mouth but still didn't say it. Qu Fu's decision was the decision of the Qu family, that is, the decision of the Qu family. As a member of the Qu family, he would just do it faithfully.

"Cross the river and build a camp."

The next morning, Li Yu ordered his troops to cross the Wujiang River and stationed on the other side. However, the Qin army was about to arrive, so it was better to rest and rest on the other side.

After staying at the camp, Li Yu felt a little painful when he looked at the casualties report of the Battle of Wujiang.

More than 3,600 infantry soldiers were killed and more than 10,000 were injured. This was because there was little battle with the Yan and Wei armies. The casualties of the Cavalry Camp were also quite serious, with more than 100 people killed and more than 2,000 people injured. Hu Ben suffered only a small loss, with twenty-two people killed and five of the three hundred Hu slaves killed.

Although Li Yu was not aware of the casualties of the Chu army, he was still a little depressed. Originally, he could avoid this battle by using Qin Qianzhong. However, for the long-term plan of Zhao State, Li Yu had to jump into the circle of the Four-Nation Alliance with tens of thousands of soldiers, leaving thousands of robes to the bank of the Wujiang River. Fortunately, the casualties were much smaller than originally expected, especially fortunate that the 10,000 elite cavalry of the Qu clan did not join the battle, otherwise the bravery of the Zhao army would inevitably lead to a loss, and the Qin army might be waiting for the last time picking peaches.

"How about the Chu army?" Li Yu whispered in a low voice at the map on the table.

"Jingyang's troops have retreated to the Pangcheng area, and Qu Fu's troops have passed through Jingcheng." With all kinds of information in his mind, Xia Hong quickly called out the reward.

"How about the Qin army?"

"Fifty miles away from our army."

"Well, let Chen Jin lead five hundred cavalry to greet the sir."

He looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yu thought of Yu Qing who entered the Qin camp alone, who was a great hero in the Battle of Wujiang. Otherwise, Wang He might have tripped him up. In Handan, Li Yu and Yu Qing and Wei Qi discussed for a long time before they entered Yunnan. The top priority was to lure the Qin army.

Originally, King Dan of Zhao and Lord Pingyuan wanted to send Mao Sui, the Shangqing who said he was famous all over the world because of his conquest of Lord Xinling, to Qin camp, but Li Yu recommended Yu Qing, who recommended him. In Li Yu's mind, no matter how famous Mao Sui was, he was the safest to be the one who knew him well. He didn't want to place his wealth and life on unfamiliar people.

In view of his importance and trust in Li Yu, neither Zhao Wangdan nor Pingyuan Jun opposed it. He entrusted Yu Qing as the title of Shangqing to serve as an envoy to the Qin camp. However, Yu Qing did not disappoint Li Yu. He did not see a shadow of the Qin army from the beginning to the end of the Battle of Wujiang.

"Yes." After a faint response, Xia Hong turned around and left the camp, pretending to be in deep thought.

The night was bleak, and the Zhao army camp on the banks of the Wujiang River fell into silence. The Wujiang River water stained with blood flowed to the south, slowly eliminating the traces of this battle.

The Battle of Wujiang is destined not to be known to outsiders. All countries should not be promoted, so as not to make people in the world laugh at them. Zhao did not want to promote them, but to take into account the feelings of the countries and pave the way for future cooperation. After all, the strong Qin is still a sharp sword above the heads of the countries. Before defeating the strong Qin, the countries in Shandong could only maintain superficial harmony and leave room for the next alliance to fight against Qin.

"General, the Chu army retreated and has retreated to Chu." Reporting the military information he had just obtained, a trace of admiration flashed in Wang Ben's eyes, but more of it was indomitable and fighting spirit.

"If I don't expect, I will invite Yu Shangqing to come." Putting down the carving knife in my hand, Wang Yan looked at the increasingly mature clan nephew, with an admiration in his eyes.

"No." Wang Ben walked out of the tent and went to the tent next to him to ask the senior official.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Shangqing, the Zhao army defeated the Chu army." As soon as he saw Yu Qing coming in, Wang Yan laughed generously.

"Qing and General He, the land of Dian Kingdom is a minister of Qin." Hearing the expected result, Yu Qing still couldn't hide his joy. After all, the battle with more than 20,000 Zhao troops against the 100,000 coalition forces was not something that could be tied up with ordinary combat power. Things on the battlefield changed in a moment, and no one could expect the result.

"Congratulations together."

Wang Feng was extremely happy to think that he could be involved in the gold mine in southern Yunnan. This was like a timely rain for the Qin State, which was short of gold, and would add a lot of money to his achievements. The old guys in Xianyang City probably would have expected that he would have such a chance to make contributions by the King of Qin to Qianzhong. I think that the day he was not far away, and the pressure on the Wang clan would be much less.

As for whether the Chu State would give up the profits of the gold mine, Wang Feng was not worried at all. If the other party disagreed, he would beat him to agree. This is the style of the Qin army.
