After a night of fighting, the land on the south side of the Hukou was easily captured by the Chu army, and nearly 10,000 iron armored soldiers were stationed here. The boats on the Honggu were like clouds, and the catapults and Jingju crossbows on the boat were fired volleys, and the Qin army drove them far away. The waterway was indeed blocked, but the land route about a hundred steps wide by the lake could be opened. The squirrel cage crane was erected here, and the corn shipped from the sacks was lifted from the boats on the Honggu, loaded into a small cart on more than a hundred steps of railway tracks, and finally transported to the boat boats in the East Lake.

The Qin army on the land on the north side of Hukou was also driven away by fire bullets, and there were thousands of huge iron armored soldiers there, but as long as they were three hundred steps away from the gulf, the Qin army was safe. They could only watch bags of food and fodder and shells transported into the city one by one.

"That's how to let the Jing people succeed?" Li Xin ran over at dawn, and he was very excited in the carriage.

"General, there are fire bombs on the boats of Jing people, and Jing crossbows. There are small places. We wait..." Deputy General An Qi looked helpless. The Chu army wearing huge armor and holding barbarian spears could not defeat even the Qin army soldiers. Besides, the place was too narrow, with only more than 200 people standing in the array, and 3,000 people could guard the place tightly.

"Beat the drum! Quick attack." After more than three months of siege, the two armies had killed and injured nearly 100,000 people. How could the Chu army in the city breathe again? Li Xin angrily hit Che Shi and issued an order to attack. The drum was hit instantly. Not only did the Qin army on the north side, but the Qin army on the south side also began to slowly move forward, trying to regain the narrow areas on both sides of the Hukou and prevent the Chu army from transporting supplies into the city.

"Take the Hukou!" Li Xin waved his sword and shouted, and more than ten thousand Qin troops rushed towards Hukou, like a brown torrent.

"Ling Yin was assassinated?!" Chen Ying was sleeping, and the fight on the top of the city continued, but the soldiers were very morale. Everyone knew that the waterway was opened and people came to Yingdu. The one who entered the city with the supplies was Zuo Tu Zhaoshu. As soon as he arrived, he informed Xiong Jingnao that Ji was assassinated.

"Yes." Zhao Shu said. "There are also Qin spies in the palace. Ling Yin was not careful and made them succeed. Fortunately, Ling Yin was wearing leather armor..."

"Where is the mail?" Xiong Jing frowned. After the chain mail jade mansion was woven, he was wearing it, and he also asked all the important officials to wear it.

"This..." Zhao Shu was wearing chain mail at this time. As for why Naojiu didn't wear chain mail, he didn't know.

"Okay. How is Naoqing's injury?" Xiong Jing stopped pursuing it, only asked about Naojiu's injury.

"I have no worries about my life for the time being." Zhao Shu blinked, and he took out the cunning letter from his arms and said, "Please check it out."

"Before he recovered, you will be the temporary position of the Order Yin." Xiong Jingcaocao looked at the letter. Naojiu mainly mentioned the temporary candidate. It seems that his injury was not light.

"I respectfully accept the order!" The stone in Zhaoshu's heart finally landed on the ground. He came to see Xiong Jing just to take over the position of the imperial court.

"Remember! Ao Cang's surprise attack is inevitable." Xiong Jing reminded Zhao Shu, "Don't worry about Chen Ying's gains and losses."

"Oh, the king is in danger!" Zhaoshu nodded and looked at Xiong Jing. After not seeing each other for a few months, Xiong Jing looked at people with a different kind of indifference, as if he was a dead person, and had no feelings. "The Queen Mother also often missed the king..."

"My mother?" Xiong Jing's frozen eyes finally had a trace of feelings. He had long forgotten that his mother married Mi Qian into Qin. "Is the mother good? Is the mother good?"

"Good Queen Mother! Good luck, Princess Qing!" Zhaoshu told each other urgently. "Only the Queen Mother always misses the King. I ask the King to return to Yingdu first, and then return to Chenying when the supply is returned..."

"No!" Xiong Jing shook his head apart. "After this supply, the Qin army must be prepared. The next time the boats will come, it will be the time when our Chu army attacks Ao Cang and pursues the defeated Qin and Wei army. You tell your mother that I am in love with tens of thousands of generals here, living and dying together, so I cannot ask for filial piety in front of my knees."

Xiong Jing really missed his mother. He was complaining about Mi Qian's affairs, but now he was a little grateful. Just imagine if Concubine Zhao didn't love her, how could she make a decision and do such thankless things? This world is not because of the monarch and ministers, but because of feelings. The only one who can do everything for him is that she is the only mother.

"The king's words, I will inform the queen mother as soon as I return to Yingdu." Zhaoshu remembered it firmly.

"How about the Qin army? How about Xiang Yan?" Withdrawing the longing, Xiong Jing asked about other battlefields.

"City Yang is still in my hand, Pingyu was led by the Qin army. After the Qin army pulled Pingyu, he turned east to attack Xiangcheng, and did not go south to Weixian County of Fanyang." Zhaoshu briefly talked about the situation on the other two battlefields. "The General was in charge of Qisi, but he rarely attacked the city because the Qin army besieged the city, so he was very idle."

"In this way, are these two Qin troops restrained?" Xiong Jing instantly felt this way.

"That's right." Zhao Shu talked about a judgment from the Grand Sima Mansion: "The Qin army may only be for the king in this battle."

"For me?" Xiong Jing smiled, "How could the Qin army be for me? If it were for me, why wouldn't it be assassinated?"

"This... I don't know." Zhao Shu naturally didn't know how to explain this problem.

"The last time the Qin army attacked me, I naturally knew that Chengyang was not as good as Chen Ying. Chen Ying was in hand, so the Ying water went straight to Yingdu, the Honggu connected to the Yellow River, and the grain and fodder army was transported easily. Although Chengyang was also a waterway, it was too difficult to transfer the goods." Xiong Jing expressed his judgment, and he still believed that the Qin army targeted Chen Ying in order to establish a bridgehead to attack Chu. "So the Wei people were hateful! If they did not use the way to help Qin attack me, how could the Qin army attack Chen?"

"Reporting to the king that Wei State attacked me was a plan to remove disaster. After this battle, we should attack Wei State." Zhaoshu felt that the Wei people were hateful.

"You go back and tell Li Qi, don't think about attacking Wei, but think about Daliang." Xiong Jing expressed his thoughts.

"Daliang?" Zhao Shu was not familiar with the military affairs and was unsatisfied with it. "Will the king attack Daliang?"

"Yes, I have a military officer in the boat, why can't I take down Daliang?" Xiong Jing asked, "Daliang is where all the waters meet. Taking down Daliang means that I can really defend Huai Shang, otherwise the Qin army could still attack me."

The importance of Daliang is beyond doubt, but it is no easy task to seize Daliang. Daliang is the capital of Wei. Will it destroy Wei? Will it be the border between Qin and Chu when destroying Wei? The more you think about Zhaoshu, the more you feel frightened. When he was about to ask, Xiong Jing said again: "What's wrong with Qi, Zhao?"

"The King of Qi is unwilling to send troops." Zhaoshu said, "However, Jimo's doctor Tian He is willing to send troops?"

"Doctor Jimo?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. "Since the King of Qi was unwilling, how could the Doctor Jimo send troops?"

"The State of Qi is in the five capitals, and Jimo is one of them. Jimo's officials can send 100,000 troops, but I need to ced Jucheng." Zhaoshu said.

"I just want to change Jucheng to 100,000 soldiers?" Jucheng turned out to be from Qi State or Yidu, and it was not surprising that the Qi people wanted to take Jucheng back.

"The king thought he could cut off Jucheng?" Zhaoshu asked. After the discussion of Yingdu, he wanted to reject the Qi people.

"Jucheng is too far-fetched. If it is just an enclave of Qi, it will naturally be cut off." Xiong Jing expressed his judgment. "In the future, our Chu State's national policy should be to reject Qin, join Qi, assist Zhao, and swallow Wei."

"Reject Qin, join forces with Qi, help Zhao, and swallow Wei?" Zhao Shu repeated Xiong Jing's words.

"Yes!" Xiong Jing nodded. "Wei State is familiar. Since he has become accomplices of Qin, it is no longer a barrier to the north of our Chu State. Since this is the case, only when we have time, we should attack Wei. The most important thing in attacking Wei is to capture Daliang, Daliang is the key to Huai Shangshu, followed by Dasong County east of Daliang. Taking Dasong County and Qin State bordering the East County, why can't our Chu State share the East County with Zhao State and Qi State?

Qi must be willing. If Qin does not have Dongjun, then the Qin army will not be able to attack Qi. Zhao is probably willing. If Qin does not have Dongjun, Chu and Zhao will be able to border, and the southern wing of Handan will be safe. If Henei County can still be captured, then the Qin army will have to cross the Taihang Mountains from Shangdang County."

The Qin army is not invincible. The key is whether the countries can really join forces. They can capture Daliang, annex the Dasong County of Wei, and then capture the Dongjun and Henei County of Qin with Qi and Zhao. This is an offensive effort made by Xiong Jing. If we really want to achieve this goal, then the world will form a situation where the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Qi will resist the strong Qin. The Wei State does not mean that it will definitely perish. Wei State will become another South Korea and be content to the west of Daliang.

Shangru's plan failed, and Chu State would not suffer any losses. This is an attack, and if the attack fails, it will shock the King of Wei. As long as he is not stupid, he will understand that if the Wei State is in the tug-of-war between Qin and Chu, the final result will be to quickly destroy the country.

"King, Zhao State..." Xiong Jing just asked Qi State what Zhao State is, and Zhao Shu only talked about Qi State. "The King of Zhao seems to want to attack Yan?"

"Destroy Yan?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. Now that the Qin army attacked Chu, he did not rest and actually ran to attack Yan.

"Yes, Mu Ling sent someone to report that the king and ministers of Zhao saw the Qin people attacking me, and the war was stalemate, so they wanted to attack Yan. This was the news from two months ago. To this day, I am afraid that Zhao has sent troops from Handan." Zhao Shu bowed and told.

"How about Qin?" Zhao's attack on Yan. If it was a small attack, Qin could still allow it. If it was a destruction of Yan, it would never allow it.

"The Qin State is unknown." Zhao Shu said. "I would like to tell the king that Zhao State is no different from Qin State. Qin State attacks me, Zhao State will never save me. Qin State attacks Zhao, but our country wants to save Zhao. If Wei State does not exist, Qin State attacks me, Zhao State would rather attack Yan, and Qi State than save me..."

"Save Zhao is just to give Qin an additional opponent." Xiong Jing understood Zhaoshu's meaning, and most of the ministers did not have a good impression of Zhao. "Besides, using Wei as a barrier is a manifestation of timidity. Why can't our Chu face the enemy head-on? We have to stand behind others and deceive ourselves?
