I’m The King

Chapter 1438 : Hanqi Tianxia (128) gives me 1 reason

The days after Qu were undoubtedly frustrated, so the country is now shattered and is on the verge of extinction, but he has nowhere to do it, trapped in the southern part of the Qin State, unable to move, and lacking food and grass, he cannot. Not re-occupying several prefectures in Sanchuan County of Qin State as temporary shelters, and at the same time intimidating and extorting the Qin people to obtain some more grain and grass, barely keeping the remaining hundreds of thousands of subordinates from starving.

It’s not just that everything will be fine if you have a full stomach. Military spirit and morale have fallen to a low point. Every day there will be deserters. The Han people have occupied Wuguan and can hold the large forces. However, there is no problem for a few people to climb the high mountains. The soldiers in the hometown began to leave the soldiers secretly and deserted, without seeing any way out.

It’s mid-October now, and the pace of winter is getting closer and the wind has begun to cool down, but his taxi*pig*pig*island*little* said that ww.huzu soldiers are still wearing thin summer clothes for the winter, It became a problem before him again. He needs a lot of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, but it is clear that the counties he occupied cannot provide such a large amount of military supplies. The Chu people in these places have fled a lot, and now they have to support ten. Tens of thousands of troops can be regarded as polite to describe them as the four walls.

After Qu was finished preparing for another armed demonstration in order to ask the Qin people for what he needed, of course, if the Qin people didn’t give it, he would indeed fight. If not, would it be possible that after the winter came, his soldiers would freeze to death alive. ?

Zhao Shucheng took a few confidant guards to climb the mountain on a rainy night in the autumn rain. It can be said that it took a lot of hardships to arrive at the place where Qu finished, Danfeng County. Although the Han people did not tightly block the Dashan Mountains, there were still mobile outposts and patrols. These Han people did not catch a cold to the Chu soldiers who fled sporadically, for them. These Chu Jun, who had lost their weapons and armor, were no longer considered soldiers, so they ran away. But for Zhao Shucheng, it was quite different.

The order he gave to Qu finished this time was too great, so great that he even dared not fake his hands. In case the person sent out fell into the hands of the Han, the plan was leaked. Then Chu State would never return to the sky anymore. Because of this, as the highest person in charge of the Chu army’s secret army, he actually decided to take this trip himself.

Dressed as a woodcutter, he walked around at night and lost a few kilograms of meat, and finally rushed to Danfeng County without any risk. Danfeng County has completely become a large camp of the army, and there is almost no civilian in sight, and Zhao Shucheng is even more shocked. On the faces of these soldiers of the Chu Army, he could not see the slightest anger, but numbness and panic.

This added countless sorrows to his heart. Is such an army still usable?

After seeing Qu finished, he was even more shocked. When Qu finished his expedition, he was also among the team that saw him off. At that time, the contortion was over, and he was full of energy. And now standing in front of him was a somewhat languid old man. You know, he was less than fifty after he was bent down, and his black hair before the expedition turned out to be mottled and mixed. The wrinkles on the face are just like old tree bark.

“General Qu!” he exclaimed. In the past few months, this general who has been responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers has suffered from his heart. What kind of pressure can make a person degenerate to such a point before they are old!

“Zhao Shucheng, General Zhao!” Qu Wan’s eyes widened. Looking at the incoming person, he almost couldn’t believe his eyes. The soldier reported that there were messengers coming all by himself. He thought it was the kind of messenger who was pointless to urge himself to attack Wuguan and return to China for rescue. If you can beat it, can you still use them to destroy it? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhao Shucheng standing in front of him.

“You, why did you come here? Yingdu, what happened to Yingdu?” In Qu Wan’s heart, Zhao Shucheng should be right in Yingdu.

“Ying Du is fine now.” Zhao Shucheng looked at Qu and said, “But if we don’t react, something will happen soon.”

Qu Wan let out a long sigh, “What about the Chu State now? You know, I am here, and Chu State’s source of information is not well understood.”

“The Shoufu and Taiwei are preparing to fight the enemy in the Jingzhou area. Now they have mobilized nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life. They are concentrated in the Jingzhou area, and the defense line has almost been repaired.” Zhao Shucheng said slowly: “Chu is a national destiny. , In this battle.”

“Five hundred thousand?” Qu Wan laughed bitterly: “Five hundred thousand people are concentrated in the Jingzhou area. There is no depth and no counterattack. How can we fight this battle and endure it? The Han people will automatically retreat? Go down!”

“Yes, although we have half a million people, we have a big gap with the Han in terms of combat effectiveness and preparation for war. We do not expect to defeat the Han people, but we 3617/’> hope to be able to In exchange for time with life.” Zhao Shucheng looked at Qu with piercing eyes.

“The Han people have a total of 20 armies as the main force, and now there are as many as 16 Han armies concentrated in Jingzhou.” Zhao Shucheng said: “General Qu, do you understand what I mean?”

“Exchanging life for time!” Qu Wan murmured: “I understand, we use the defense of 500,000 people to prolong the time of the war, drag the main force of the Han people in Jingzhou, so that they can’t take care of them. At that time, if something went wrong inside the Han country? Or if a foreign enemy came to attack, Chu country would be saved.”

He suddenly shouted, “Qin, the only hope is Qin.”

“Not only the Qin people, but you, General Qu, you still have 150,000 troops. Even if we can’t get to Wuguan, we can’t go back to rescue, but we can go to the mainland of Han.” Zhao Shucheng said fiercely.

“But I have no food and no supplies, do you think I haven’t thought about it? If I have enough food, I can attack Taian, take Taian, Wulong, and then go straight to Yingzhou County, attack Yingshui, fight Entering the mainland of Han, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of me to go to war hungry!” Qu finished painfully.

“So this time I will come here personally. The first is to inform you of this matter, and the second is to solve the problem of food and grass supply for you.” Zhao Shucheng said: “After seeing you, I will go to Xianyang to meet the road. Super. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Our great Chu is really dead. Is it possible that their Qin country can still be alone? At this time, if they can’t cooperate sincerely with us, then it will be their turn after we perish.”

“If I have enough food and grass, I will be able to hit the mainland of Han and force the Han army to retreat.” Qu Wan’s face glowed again, and his eyes bloomed again. “Just how do you convince Lu Chao? As far as I know, Han Wang Gaoyuan has given Lu Chao a ten-year promise that he will not attack Qin in ten years.”

“In the face of national interests, promises are as stinky as bullshit!” Zhao Shucheng said coldly: “The relationship between Lu Chao and Gao Yuan is extremely complicated. If you talk about personal grievances, I am afraid that Lu Chao is the one who wants Gao Yuan to die the most. Time, Lu Chao will be able to contend against Han with Qin’s power alone? This must be very clear to Lu Chao, this is our only opportunity, and why is it not their only opportunity? Otherwise, how could you be here? Can you stay until this time? The Qin people still provide you with the necessary food and grass, because Lu Chao is also waiting, waiting for an opportunity.”

“Now, you are a hungry wolf locked in a cage by Lu Chao. As soon as the opportunity comes, he will release you as soon as possible.”

“But the purpose of my coming is not just to solve your problems. This time, I want to let Lu Chao understand that if he still has the idea of ​​preserving his strength and sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, then he will wait for the country to subdue with our Chu State. , If you don’t try hard at this time, then everything will be over.”

“You go to Xianyang, I will reinvigorate morale in Danfeng. As long as there is the possibility of going home, the soldiers will burst out with great enthusiasm.” Qu Wan waved his fists, “There is no hope to make people despair, but as long as there is a trace of it. Silk hope can arouse people’s greatest potential. No one wants to be a slave to the country.”

Ten days later, Qin State, Xianyang, Hei Bingtai.

This huge black palace used to be a symbol of the highest power of the Qin State. Generations of Qin kings gave orders and ruled the country. But now, this black palace has changed owners, even though Qin is still in the name. There is a master, but everyone understands that this doll king who sits on the throne and is only a few years old is just a puppet, and the man who manipulates him now lives in the Black Ice Platform Hall Lu Chao, who entered the Black Ice Terrace, removed the changes made to the Black Ice Terrace during Yingying’s reign, and all the comfortable decorations were swept away, returning it to the era of King Qin Wulie Looks like. Inside the huge palace, it was empty, but the territorial maps that came and went on the ground were more like a satire now.

Zhao Shucheng noticed that above the location of Jicheng, the capital of Han, was not the uniform black in the hall, but a bright red, which was a bit dazzling.

“Please sit down, General Zhao!” Lu Chao sat cross-legged on top of the Pu Tuan, and in front of him was the bright red color. “Needless to say such things as lips and teeth, because I understand them. I also know that without Chu, my Qin will be hard to support. But at least now, Qin can still live for ten years, ten years, or a lot of things will happen. Accidents, for example, Gao Yuan suddenly died of a sudden illness? As long as he dies, will we have a chance? So, give me a reason. If there is no answer that satisfies me, I would rather wait for such uneasy accidents. Never want to go to a mortal situation.”

“The Kingdom of Chu will never lose quickly!” In front of such an extremely intelligent person, without saying anything extra, Zhao Shucheng simply said: “General, Chu Kingdom can drag the main force of the Han people in Jingzhou forever, causing them to fall into the mud. In.” (To be continued.)
