Xiang Ji is right, that was indeed the last battle that neither side could afford to lose!

Wu She gritted his teeth and said, "But the premise of all this is that Mr. Hei is well!"

"If Heifu dies suddenly, his so-called New Qin will fall apart, and the counties will be separated. No matter how hard it is to take care of each other, Chu will definitely win. When the time comes, I hope Wu Jun and his son can make the right decision!

"

Wu Ying scolded: "The regent is young and powerful, you lobbyist, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Qing Ji and King Wu of Qin once felt that they were young and powerful, but human life is so insignificant. Wouldn't it be possible to die at any time?"

Wu She laughed loudly and stepped forward, trembling a little.

"I am not a good lobbyist. I have failed Yafu and the State of Chu. I lobbied three times but failed once. I deserve to die today."

The crocodiles in the pond began to wake up one after another. After being hungry for a long time, they were already hungry and eager for fresh flesh and blood...

"But I am also a man, how can I die wearing a woman's clothes?"

Wu She turned around and made one last request:

"Can I get naked and get into the water?"

Wu Ying was silent, and his guards no longer had a teasing attitude. They nodded solemnly and even bowed to bid farewell to this Chu lobbyist...

There was a splash, as if something heavy fell into the water, the pond churned, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

After a long time, everything calmed down again. There were only a few crocodiles with their mouths wide open and their bellies bulging, lying lazily on the shore, letting the birds' long beaks peck away the remaining skin and flesh on their sharp teeth...

…

In early December, the Chu army's vanguard finally arrived at Zhucheng, the capital of Hengshan County.

Yingbu, who had tattoos on his face, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a year of continuous hard fighting, the Chu people were very exhausted, especially those who followed Xiang Ji into the Pass. Their enthusiasm for war had been worn away by the long journey home.

.

However, this western expedition was also a last resort. Firstly, it was to retaliate for the destruction of Huainan by Heifu Jiangdong's army. However, Jiangdong's boat division had absolute control over the water area. The Chu army did not dare to cross the river and could only attack the surrounding areas.

Hengshan County vented its anger. If it can lure Jiangdong to return reinforcements and completely defeat Jiangdong's army on land, Chu will have less worries in future wars.

Secondly, most of the rice in Huainan was harvested by people sent by Weiyang and transported back to Jiangdong by boat. This was a hardship for the Chu army. They trudged back from Hedong, even though Xiang Yu desperately escorted Han and Wei allies along the way to provide grain and grass.

But they were still half-starved, and many troops had reached the point of eating mulberries. They wanted to return to Huainan to eat new rice, but they didn't know that the locals were even worse than they were. They had to go into the water to catch fish and shrimp every day to stay alive.

Therefore, Xiang Ji decided to cut off meat from Hengshan County to heal his wounds, so as to support the war with war.

If Hengshan can be defeated, which threatens Heifu's hometown of Nanjun, his northern allies can also take a breath of relief under Heifu's offensive, giving the world another chance to unite to fight against Heifu...

The course of the war went smoothly. No one could doubt Xiang Ji's commanding ability in small-scale battles. Yingbu, as the vanguard, attacked several counties along the way and robbed county warehouses. He relieved the Chu army from starvation and defeated Bai Ju.

, to open a passage for the rear army. After leaving the Dabie Mountains, there is a flat plain ahead and no dangerous passes.

But just after they entered this prosperous area in Jiangbei, they saw fewer and fewer people, and the resistance they encountered became weaker and weaker. When they saw Zhu City from a distance, he even heard that Heifu's

The news that the younger brother, the Hengshan guard, escaped in panic...

"He is a courageous person."

Yingbu ridiculed him so much that he had people camp outside the city, waiting for the locals in Zhu City to surrender. In the past, in Huainan, the East China Sea siege was slightly lower, and it was a similar routine. As long as the Qin officials were killed or fled, the local noble clans would quickly defect to the city.

.

But the news returned by the scouts was surprising. They entered a desolate county. Almost all of the tens of thousands of people in this city disappeared.

An hour later, when Xiang Ji led his army to the outskirts of Zhu City, he learned of the incident. He was suspicious. When he asked where Ying Bu was, he was told that they were searching for food and people in the city and plundering the wealth of this county.

.

Xiang Ji frowned, but at this moment, a scout hurriedly came to report:

"Shangzhu Kingdom, Zhu City, is on fire!"
