The rain kept falling, and it made people anxious. Xiong Jing wished he could arrive in Wancheng tomorrow. But the horsepower was limited, and when the rain was getting heavier, he had to take a break in Shangyi.

Shangyi didn't think anything before, but he argued with Mi Xuan about the ownership of Shangyu. After that, Qin and Chu were sorry for each other, he gradually avoided this place intentionally or unintentionally. Others didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that his sad face became even more serious, Zhuang Wudi couldn't help but persuade: "It's raining heavily in the sky, our army cannot advance, and Li Xin cannot advance, I hope the king will not worry."

"I'm fine." Xiong Jing was just not feeling comfortable in Shangyi, not worried about the war situation. When it comes to the war situation, he cheered up: "If it's clear, he will let Li Xin go south and then..."

Xiong Jing raised his palm and slashed in the air. Zhao Zheng caught himself off guard, and it was impolite to come but not to go. He also caught him off guard, and the focus was on Li Xin. It was not that Li Xin was easy to deal with, but that he was dispatched clockwisely (Shang Yu transferred to Fangcheng clockwise, Fangcheng clockwise to Nanzheng), and only Li Xin could fight.

"Li Xin was defeated by me several times, so it was hard to get along with each other." E Le was the general of E, and it was not the first time he fought with Li Xin.

"If you don't want to be with each other, you have to be with each other." Xiong Jing said. He talked about a marquis when he evacuated Lantian Valley: "That day, the detective cavalry reported that Hu Fen was in Guanzhong, and there were no cavalry around Li Xin. Since there were no cavalry, why not be with each other?"

After the Battle of Xiangyang, the Chu army began to be afraid of the Qin cavalry; after the Battle of Daze, the Chu army began to be afraid of the Qin cavalry. When he heard that Li Xin had no cavalry, Zhuang no land, Ele, and Nao Xin didn't say anything. Gui Jing, Qi Jizhi and others were a little winking.

"Although there is no cavalry," Ele pondered for a moment, "our army has arrived in a labor camp, and there are only six divisions that can fight..."

"So what about the Sixth Division?" Xiong Jing was not worried about the lack of soldiers when fighting in Chu instead of Guanzhong. "Those who are good at fighting have a dangerous situation and short-term status. The momentum is like a crossbow, and the momentum is like a launcher. Li Xin has only 200,000 people. Our sixth division, don't forget that all the cavalrymen belonging to the army will be under my command. The entire army has more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and 40,000 people are like a launcher. It may not be impossible to defeat Li Xin."

It is not clear how to fight Li Xin and Xiong Jing, because he doesn't know the situation of Li Xin's troops, but it is not difficult to defeat Li Xin. This is what he considered the day before yesterday to win a battle as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people. Zhao Zheng has already drawn elite Qin troops into Guanzhong, so Li Xin and Wang Jian must be weak in one place, maybe both are weak, maybe they are weak.

"Report——!" Military newspapers also sounded at night. This was the news of the Grand Sima Mansion that it did not rain in Fangcheng.

"Our army won a great victory?" Xiong Jing almost jumped up when he heard this, looking like he couldn't believe it.

"Tell the king, that's it." Zhuang Wudi said loudly, holding the news from the cavalry in his hand. This was the news from Juyi to Yingdu early yesterday morning, and Yingdu arrived at Xiangyang at dusk. Xiangyang arrived at Xiyi early this morning, and Xiyi quickly came from Xiyi. "The Qin people were defeated and the Yue army chased him north. More than a hundred warships retreated into the Mianshui River, and they dared not enter the Great Lakes..."

"How many casualties?" Xiong Jing stood up and sat down again. If it was on land, the party who controlled the battlefield could rescue the injured, but this was a water battle and there were no injuries at all. Whether the battlefield was controlled was irrelevant.

"I haven't said it." The three words "Zhuang Wudi" made Xiong Jing jump up again.

"Why don't you say it?" Xiong Jing shouted. "Does Cheng Tong's staff officer need to report the casualties when the war report is reported?!"

Zhuang Wudi looked at Xunbao, raised his eyes and looked at Xiong Jing, then looked at Xunbao, and finally said helplessly: "King..., Cheng Tong has already died."

"Ah..." everyone exclaimed. Everyone was still happy before, because the thing that was most worried did not happen. Juyi, Zhudi, and Nanzheng were still controlled by the hands of his army. When they heard Cheng Tong's life, everyone's expression was immediately bad.

"Who is in charge in the army? Who is the news?" Ele Wuli asked.

"The army is temporarily under Zuo Yue's leadership, and the news is also reported." Zhuang Wudi said. "He said, his words are only dozens of warships..."

"Doctors?!" Everyone was shocked again. The news reported that it was a great victory, but it was indeed a great victory. There were only more than a hundred boats left by nearly a thousand warships in the Qin people, but not including the Ba Shi, there were only dozens of more than 400 warships left by more than 400 warships.

Xiong Jing was dizzy and he was not concerned about the victory or defeat, but the number of soldiers. Apart from the four and a half divisions of Yuanwu Mountain, Cheng Tong had a total of 140,000 people, and now there are only dozens of warships left. The Yue people used a large wing of 170 people, with only eight or nine thousand people in fifty wings, and only 17,000 people in a hundred. If this is not considered annihilated, what is considered annihilation of the entire army?!

"King," Zhuang Wudi saw Xiong Jing's face turned sharply, and he comforted: "It's just dozens of warships, not that our army has only more than ten thousand soldiers left. I think that since the Great Ze is in my hands, the soldiers who fall into the water can rescue him. This should be that there are soldiers but no boats."

"It was at night when fighting with the Qin people. How about..." Xiong Jing shook his sleeves violently, as if he wanted to sweep Zhuang Wudi's comfort outside the door. In front of reality, he didn't want anyone to comfort him. He could accept the result of the annihilation of the entire army. However, he was just dizzy and his heart was twitching.

"Get back." Xiong Jing tried his best to calm down after brushing his sleeves. He felt that he needed to be quiet.

"Big, king..." Zhuang Wudi stuttered, and he still had a report that he had not read. Seeing Xiong Jing nodding, he hurriedly said: "This is the news of Master Yuanwu Mountain. Cheng Siyan, the teachers decided to defend the left bank of Mianshui to the death and block the Qin people from going south."

The Chu army, who was on Yuanwu Mountain, was nailed to the left bank of Mianshui, and the Qin army's follow-up troops could not go south. This is probably one of the reasons why the Yue army could expel the Qin people north. Including Zhuang Wudi, the generals' dead faces gradually turned bloody. As long as the Chu army nailed the left bank of Mianshui, the Qin army would not go south. Once the reinforcements from Fangcheng Xiangyang arrived at Daze, the Qin army would block the section of Mianshui from Yuanwu Mountain to Daze.

"Knowing!" Xiong Jing did not laugh, but only said one.

"If the Qin people cannot be Nan Zheng, they will not be able to be involved in Bashu; if I cannot be involved in Bashu, if I can defend Daliang, Taoyi, Weishui, the Qin people will have no food next year." Zhuang Wudi naturally also saw the importance of the troops being nailed to the left bank of Mianshui. Although Chengtong suffered heavy losses, the Qin army's strategic intentions could not be achieved, and this battle was equivalent to a waste of time.

"King, it's the season for harvesting millet. When Li Xin enters Fangcheng, he will definitely rob the wheat to harvest millet and wheat." Ele also said.

"The Wei State produces 70 million stones of millet every year. If the Qin people do not have Bashu, they will enter Wei to grab corn." Nao Xin said another possibility. However, compared with Bashu, Wei State is located in the heart of the Central Plains and has a big grave to curb it, so it is not as convenient as Bashu to grab it.

"Get back." The generals mean that they still have the advantage in strategy, but Xiong Jing was not happy. The Xi division was nailed to the left bank of Mianshui, and it took at least seven or eight days to get reinforcements. How many soldiers would be killed or injured in these seven or eight days? If even these four and a half divisions were destroyed, then there would be only twelve divisions left in the Chu army to truly fight.

The Xiang army and the fifth divisions of the Zhu family were drawn to Nanzheng, Ying army, E army, and Tang army guarded Fangcheng and Shangyu, Zhao and Wei army guarded Daliang and the entire Wei territory, and Lu and Song 10th divisions guarded Muling Pass. With less than 200,000 people, but it was 3,000 miles long, and the troops were really too thin. Can such a thin line of defense be persisted until next year? Can it really persist until the Qin Dynasty's food stagnation end?

Xiong Jing couldn't believe it! But he was also worried that he could not give up the existing area, because giving up any place would be good for Qin, and it would get food from the newly occupied area. Without shrinking the defense line, he could only expand his army. Of course, it was not in Fangcheng, but in the old Ying, but in the east.

But after years of war, he had lost 100,000 soldiers before, and how many soldiers could be summoned in the east? Thinking of this, his head became even more dizzy. In the battle of Daze, the five divisions were probably wiped out. Now he couldn't even set up a new air.

Thinking about how to continue to maintain the pressure on the Qin people and let the Qin food be exhausted; thinking that since there is still hope for victory, will the "Carrying Plan" be temporarily suspended; thinking about those dead people, Xiang Yan, Yi Tu, Gongshu Ji, Cheng Tong..., Xiong Jing did not sleep all night.

As soon as Xiyi entered Fangcheng, the sky cleared. There were more and more news reports. When we arrived in Wancheng, Li Qi, don’t give me, Zeng Yin, Shi Zhi, these people were already waiting. Xiong Jing did not see Li Qi, don’t give me, but met Zeng Yin and Shi Zhi first.

As he expected, the common people in Kanto were temporarily attracted by Zuo Yue's so-called victory, and did not realize that more than 100,000 soldiers died in the Daze. They could hide the common people but could not hide the courts and the big merchants. These people reacted quickly. Zhao, Wei and Qi quickly sent envoys to Yingdu to discuss the policy; the big merchants secretly ran gold and silver, sold copper and Chu money and bonds, and hoarded materials.

During the harvest season, the price of millet was originally very low. The price of millet was lowered, so merchants could buy it in large quantities and hoard it until the price rose next year. However, the price of millet has risen to more than 300 yuan per stone and is still rising. The only thing that could make Xiong Jing happy is that all the materials hoarded by the merchants were transported to Chu State - the Qin people also had warships, and Wei, Zhao, Qi, and the three kingdoms were very afraid of this.

"What else is there in China?" After hearing the report of Shi Zhi's price surge, Xiong Jing asked again.

"Report to the king," E Le was in the army, and Zeng Yin was mainly responsible for his confidant. He said something uneasy: "It seems that someone is rumoring that our Chu State may not exist, and we want to avoid the sea. Many of the families have already ordered sea boats..."

"It's not a rumor, it's a plan to prepare for the future." Xiong Jing did not inform his clerk about the "Ride Plan".

Even Shi Zhi was shocked, "If this matter is spread to the outside world, the king will abandon the country and leave, the price of millet..."

"Why did I abandon my country and leave?" Xiong Jing said loudly. "It is the private matter of the noble man who builds a boat to avoid evacuation. It doesn't matter where people who are not Fuji go. The court avoids evacuation, and besides craftsmen, they can only be boys from Fuji, injured soldiers from each army, women, a few ministers, temple maids, witches, doctors, and gentlemen. There is no one else to prepare for the future.

And the matter has not been decided yet. The court will discuss this matter next month. My original intention remains unchanged, and the man Fu Ji will not move."
