I’m The King

Chapter 1436 ：Hanqi Tianxia (One Hundred and Twenty

It’s another year when chrysanthemums compete for beauty. If it were in previous years, Yingcheng at this time must be a sea of ​​chrysanthemums, because the king of Chu Huai loved chrysanthemums to the point of obsessiveness, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money for a chrysanthemum of good appearance. , But it seems particularly deserted, the chrysanthemums in Yingcheng are still in full bloom, but they are not as bright as in previous years.

In the back garden of the palace, the precious varieties of chrysanthemums looked a little run-down because they were neglected. Those chrysanthemums that needed to be taken care of in the past, but this year because of the extreme deterioration of the situation in Chu, and also because of their owner Chu Huai Wang suddenly fell down and no one paid any more attention.

King Chu Huai fell after hearing that the 200,000 army who had been warped was trapped in Wuguan. From the hesitation of the imperial physician, Huang Xie and Qu Zhong understood that King Chuhuai had a stroke. Today, King Chuhuai is lying in the dormitory, unable to move his hands, unable to move his legs, even speaking + pig + pig + island + novel + www + z +, which is also vague, it is difficult for people to hear what he is saying.

When he walked into this palace, Huang Xie felt a chilly yin air, and went straight into his bones. This made him shiver uncontrollably.

Kneeling on a cushion in front of King Chuhuai’s hospital bed, Huang Xie still saluteed meticulously.

“My lord, there is news today that Jiangdong County has run out of food, and the King of Han came to Jiangdong County personally, Wenzhuang Kaicheng surrendered, and Jiangdong County is gone now.” Huang Xie said softly.

Above the hospital bed, Wang Chu Huai’s body trembled, and his lips squirmed, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying. Huang Xie could only see a drop of muddy tears slipping from the corner of Chu Huai’s eyes.

“Wenzhuang is doing his best, and surrendering is nothing to do.” Huang Xie sighed, “He has been in Jiangdong County for so long, and he has done his best. Now, the entire Chu State has reached the last moment, Qu The lieutenant only rested for one or two hours a day. Every day he tried every means to mobilize the army and set up defense lines. The ministers were awake at night, trying his best to raise grain, weapons, and all of them. It will be written by the Chu Dynasty for 800 years. One last fight.”

“We will take Yingdu as the core and the entire Jingzhou as the battlefield to fight to the death of Han. Taiwei Qu has mobilized 500,000 soldiers and horses from all quarters and gathered in Jingzhou. Now, most of the defense lines have been almost repaired. Yes. All the people in Yingdu were mobilized, and they were making ordnance, making dry food and sending them to the front line.”

“Wang. It’s already October. If we can last until winter, when the heavy snow comes, we will have a chance for Chu State.” Huang Xie stretched out his hand and held the hand of Chuhuai Wang’s green veins exposed.

“As long as it can last until winter, there will be a chance. As soon as winter arrives, the weather will be cold and the ground will be frozen. The logistics of the Han people will also be greatly affected. Winter operations will add countless difficulties. And, we all have it. As long as we can withstand the first wave of attacks by the Han army, we can be sure to hold Jingzhou and drag the Han people to Jingzhou. At this time, I believe that the Qin people will not sit back and watch. Saved. Because if we lose, their end will not be far away. As long as Lu Chao sees a little bit of victory 3617 hope. He will definitely bet on it.”

“If at that time we hold the main force of the lofty distance, after Lu Chao enters the State of Qin, leaves Hangu Pass and rushes to the hinterland of the Han State, our Da Chu will be saved. As long as this breath is relieved, our State of Chu will definitely be saved. To regain lost ground and fight to Jicheng, we have the memory of thousands of people, and we have infinite human and financial resources. As long as we can survive this barrier, everything will be fine.”

“Today the Weichen enters the palace, there is one more thing to tell the king. The king has been sick for a long time and is unable to govern, and the defense of Yingdu is about to begin. The soldiers need their king to boost their morale. Their king went to wave the flag and beat the drums of war for them. Therefore, after much discussion with the lieutenant and the important officials, the Weichen informed the queen for agreement and decided to make the prince the king. He respectfully asked the king to recover from his illness in the harem and also asked the king to forgive the minister. This is a sin of disrespect. When the Han thief is retired, when the world is peaceful, the minister will surrender the post of chief assistant and ask the crime before going to the sick bed on the fifth floor.”

King Chu Huai couldn’t say anything. Huang Xie finished all this. He looked at King Chu Huai’s expression. Seeing that King Chu Huai’s expression was calm, there was no anger or complaint in his eyes. A big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground. .

“The king, Shengming, asked the king to take peace of mind to recuperate in the palace, and the minister went.” Huang Xie knocked three heads heavily, stood up, backed a few steps, turned and strode out of the palace.

On the ninth day of October, the critically ill King Chuhuai announced that he would withdraw from the cloth and Prince Mihua ascended the throne. Still with Huang Xie as the head and auxiliary, and Qu Zhong as Taiwei, at that time, the country of Chu had five thousand miles of rivers and mountains, which was already ten to six or seven. Except for the barren frontiers and the overlapping mountains and obstacles, the sacred land was almost entirely the Han army. Accounted for. And Huang Xie and Qu Zhong didn’t pay attention to these places at all. They concentrated on doing just one thing, mobilizing all the troops that could be mobilized, gathering all the food and grass that could be concentrated, collecting all weapons that can be used to kill the enemy, and all resources. All were concentrated in the Jingzhou area, and the Chu Kingdom would use the final battle to determine the fate of their entire country.

The Han army from all directions is also gathering towards the Jingzhou area. The Chu country wants to bet on its own national destiny in this battle, and the Han country also wants to complete its merits and completely destroy the last force of the Chu country in the Jingzhou area.

By mid-October, all the troops of the Second Military Region had gathered in Jingzhou, Chu State. Among the four corps of the Youth Guard Corps, in addition to Yang Dasha’s first army guarding Wuguan, the other three troops also arrived. Except for Dingwei’s Fifth Army, Yan Haibo’s Sixth Army, and Li Mingjun’s 20th Army, all other troops also arrived in the military area. This allowed the Han State to gather 16 armies in Jingzhou area, with more than 300,000 people. This is also the first time that Han has fought a war with all its strength.

“Huang Xie and Qu Zhong are smart people!” Staring at the sand table in front of him, he sighed with admiration: “If they still want to fight with us, what awaits them will undoubtedly fail. And it won’t cause us much trouble, but now they have assembled all their troops in this small area, and they have fought with us. Look at their lines of defense, the levels are clear, this is clearly fighting against We plan to consume it all the way!”

“Consumption? Do they have any other plans? We are not afraid of consumption. In a place as large as Jingzhou, the Chu army has gathered hundreds of thousands of people. They eat, but they also have to deal with them. You know, they don’t have any. Where can we replenish food and grass?” Guan Bo, commander of the Third Army, said disdainfully, “Moreover, with the combat power of our army, they just want to consume it. When will it be consumed?”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, took a few steps back and sat on a chair, looking at the high-ranking generals in the house, “What do you think?”

Apart from Kai Gaoyuan, everyone here is honored by the commander-in-chief of the Youth Guard Corps Shangguan Hong, the commander of the Second Military Region Meng Chong, and the deputy commander Bai Yucheng.

Bai Yucheng stood up and smiled and said, “My lord, this is going to test us. Then I’m here to shed some light on it. The reason why the people of Chu pose in this posture naturally knows that they have no chance of winning a field battle with us. Yes, so, put out a tortoise warfare, and do everything possible to delay time with us. If I expected it well, in the current Yingdu, at least hundreds of thousands of troops should be prepared for no less than a year’s worth of food. Over the past few months, Huang Xie, letting our army attack the city and looting the land without paying any attention, he thought of all the possibilities for the establishment of the Jingzhou Theater with all his heart. I think they may be looking forward to winter.”

“Yes.” Shangguanhong nodded and said: “We must be the guest army to fight. We need food and materials that need to be transported thousands of miles, especially the weapon supplement of our army. There is no way to raise it locally. If we talk about food and grass. If we can solve part of it locally, but our artillery, shells, crossbows and other materials can only be transported from the mainland. Once winter comes, the snow is flying and the sky is freezing, our logistics will definitely encounter great Difficulties. However, this is also because Chu people don’t understand the logistics system of our Han country. Difficulties are definitely there, but I don’t think they will affect our operations.”

“It’s not just the weather, or they are waiting for something else, such as the Qin people.” Meng Chong scratched his head, and then said: “Lu Chao is a smart man. Since he occupied Xianyang, he used thunderous means. , Quickly stabilized the domestic situation. It would not take three or two years to talk about this person’s layout in the Qin State, otherwise it would not be so fast that the internal disturbances in the Qin State would calm down. He couldn’t spare his hands before. , We can only focus on the country. If we really fight a stalemate with Chu people, it will become a protracted battle. If he doesn’t move his mind, then it’s not Lu Chao.”

Looking around the generals Meng Chong said: “Everyone, almost all of our Han’s army has gathered in Jingzhou. Beware of the Qin people, but only Yang Dasha’s First Army and Ding Wei’s Fifth Army. , Yan Haibo’s Sixth Army and Li Mingjun’s 20th Army, Yang Dasha’s army must defend Wuguan, which can be ignored. If the Qin people really come to attack, we can put into use only three armies, less than eight. An army of ten thousand people. This is what Chu people look forward to.”

“We are in a stalemate with us, and we are in a stalemate, dragging our hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the Qin people move out to attack my homeland, we will have to withdraw our troops.”

“The calculation is very good.” Cao Tianci, who came with the army, snorted coldly: “Our army is more than what Commander Meng just said. Don’t forget, Niu Teng of the National Security Bureau still controls an army in Shu County. Well, this army has now grown to tens of thousands of people. Even if its combat effectiveness is not as good as our regular army, we have been constantly replenishing weapons and supplies through the waterways over the past two years. Compared with the Qin army, it will never Poor.”

“There is also the third military region. I heard that Commander Helan is not idle anywhere. I think there is no problem with the third military region being able to mobilize at least 20,000 or 30,000 people by then? So, even if the Qin people attack, we will always It can also be used by more than ten people. The Qin people want to hit our homeland. Haha, Li Xin tried it back then. What was the result?” Gu Li said coldly on the side, the scars on her face looked particularly hideous under the light of the light. . (To be continued.)
