"Xiang Yan, you..." The leaders of the Qu family and the Zhao family pointed at Xiang Yan angrily, but the axe-hand behind him slightly used the ax in his hand, forcing the two to stop.
"Invite all the generals to the camp to take good care of you!" Xiang Yan gave the order coldly.
"Here!" Xiang Bo stepped forward, then turned to look at many nobles and generals, "My lords, please come!"
"Xiang Yan, just wait. When we return to Shouchun, we will definitely testify against your Majesty!" All the generals were still scolding angrily.
Xiang Yan ignored it and turned his head to his close relatives who were still in the camp.
"We have no retreat. If we win this battle, the Xiang family may still have a chance to survive. If we lose this battle, the Xiang family will cease to exist!"
Everyone in the Xiang clan also understands the severity of their actions. If they win and give up their military power to these nobles, the Xiang clan may still survive. If they fail, the angry nobles will definitely exterminate the Xiang clan.
"Please give the order, General!" Everyone did not hesitate and took half a step forward to wait for Xiang Yan to give the order.
"It is impossible to win with these people in our hands, so I have asked the king for orders to dispatch 20,000 royal city guards!" Xiang Yan said.
"Will your Majesty agree?" Everyone in the Xiang family hesitated.
Is it serious enough to send the Chu Kingdom’s last royal city guard?
"We have all underestimated this Jiujiang Dragon Lord, and we have also underestimated the Moh family!" Xiang Yan sighed.
Two major defeats finally let him know that Jiujiang Longjun was not a simple person, nor was he an ordinary Mohist god-killing swordsman.
Therefore, in order to be sure, Xiang Yan sent people back to Shouchun to mobilize some of the last elites of Chu State to put down the rebellion.
As for whether King Chu would agree to dispatch 20,000 royal city guards after the meeting, he actually had no idea and could only wait for Shouchun's reply.
In the Shouchun Palace, King Chu was lying on a soft bed, looking at the Baili Jiajia handed over by the eunuch. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Yes!"
Therefore, Chu State's last elite royal city guard army dispatched 20,000 people and rushed to the battlefield.
"In addition, order the governor of Jianghu County to rush to Jiujiang with the Kuaiji Navy and obey the general's orders!" King Chu ordered again.
"This..." The eunuchs all hesitated.
This is equivalent to handing over all the troops of Chu State to Xiang Yan. If Xiang Yan has a disobedient heart, Shouchun will have no choice.
"Go and bring the Tianwen Box!" King Chu continued to give orders without any explanation.
The eunuchs knew that they could not have any opinions and could only follow the instructions of the King of Chu. So they quickly brought the Tianwen Sword, which was forged with the most outstanding sword-making technology in the Chu Kingdom, from the main hall of the King of Chu's study to the King of Chu's palace.
The sword box was opened. In addition to a majestic sword lying quietly in the box, there were also two brocade bags woven by Jinxiu.
"Send this purple kit to the general and tell him to open it with his own hands. No one is allowed to watch. Anyone who knows will be killed!" King Chu pointed at one of the purple kits with trembling fingers.
The eunuchs looked at the purple brocade bag in awe, not even daring to guess what was in it.
"Send this golden bag secretly to Xianyang and hand it over to the Queen Mother of Huayang!" King Chu continued.
"Here!" The eunuchs looked at the golden bag. It was larger than the previous purple one and square. It was easy to guess what was in it, but even if they could guess it, they didn't dare to say anything.
My thoughts and leaks can only be treated as unknown.
"Let's all go!" King Chu waved his hand feebly, then lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep.
When the eunuchs saw that King Chu's breathing had become steady, and after confirming that he was really asleep, they cautiously exited the hall, not daring to make any noise.
"Xiang Yan actually refused to retreat!" Wu Rui was a little surprised. Long Jun had guessed many things, and the reality was unfolding according to Long Jun's guesses.
They completely wiped out the Tenglong Legion and then returned to the main line. As expected, the Shadow Tiger Legion also withdrew without even seeing the shadows.
However, the expected withdrawal of the Chu army did not happen. Even the Chu army was still gathering in the wild, training and guarding, and there was no sign of any withdrawal.
"He's a ruthless man. He bet on the Xiang family!" Jin Yao thought about it for a while and realized what was going on.
Listening to Jin Yao's words, Wu Rui also instantly realized what happened in the Chu army camp.
"What promise did King Chu give Xiang Yan to make him work so hard?" Jin Yao was also curious.
Isn't it good to learn from other nobles of Chu State? They all come out to fool around. How many rewards will be given to you? Do you think you are risking your life?
Even if you risk your life, just to repay the kindness of knowing you, you can just give it to yourself. There is no need to bring the entire Xiang family with you!
Therefore, Jin Yao really didn't expect Xiang Yan to be so brave and actually have to take on the entire Xiang clan to win this war.
Li Mu was also confused. He couldn't imagine what promise King Chu made to Xiang Yan, and actually let Xiang Yan involve the entire Xiang family.
They can understand being loyal to their duties, but they can't understand that they have to risk their entire ethnic group in order to be loyal to their duties.
Any larger family would not put their eggs in one basket and be so desperate.
"Your Majesty, information!" Luo Wang sent the information again and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu opened the scroll and took a closer look, becoming even more surprised.
"The State of Chu wants to imitate the Dragon Lord of Jiujiang!" Li Mu handed the scroll to Meng Tian and others for circulation.
"The Royal City Guards and the Kuaiji Navy are all here!" Meng Tian felt incredible after reading it.
Just a Jiujiang Dragon Lord, as for sending out all the reserve troops and elites of the entire Chu State?
"In the entire Chu Kingdom, I'm afraid only the King of Chu is awake!" Li Mu sighed.
"The King of Chu knew very well that Xiang Yan was no match for the Dragon Lord of Jiujiang, so he sent all the available troops from the entire Chu State in order to consume the Dragon Lord's dragon guards to death!"
Meng Tian, Li Xin and others all nodded. After all, the number of Long Guards was only those, and there was no more backup.
King Chu's decision was to kill the Dragon Guard. With their numbers and unparalleled navy, they would drag the opponent to death.
Xiang Yan looked at the army's deployment orders. Although he was supplemented with reserve forces, Xiang Yan also knew that he still let the King of Chu down, and he felt infinite self-blame in his heart.
If the King of Chu believed him, he would only send 20,000 royal city guards, but not even the Kuaiji Navy.
Because of King Chu's order, Xiang Yan also woke up. He may really not be the opponent of this Dragon Lord!
"Bring them down!" Xiang Yan was silent and issued a military order.
