Outside Nishi City, yellow sand covers the sky, smoke and dust rise, and the rumble of horse hooves approaches. It is Bai Qi, King Bimeng, Xiang Yu, and Li Cunxiao who are leading the Chu army back to the city.
The Emperor of Chu received the report from the scouts and had been waiting on the city for a long time. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance and saw the mighty army approaching the city. He turned around and walked quickly towards the city.
The city gate opens.
The Emperor of Chu led five people, Jiang Ziya, Na Ya'a, Jiang Ziya, Jia Fu, and Pei Yuanqing, out of the city. Two rows of more than a thousand soldiers stood straight, and everyone looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the army.
A little while.
Bai Qi, Xiang Yu led his troops back, and saw Emperor Chu waiting at the city gate. Everyone jumped off their horses, grasped the broad swords at their waists, and walked forward quickly.
"General Bai Qi comes to pay homage to His Majesty!"
Bai Qi bowed and saluted, and the other generals saluted one after another. Emperor Chu strode forward and raised his hands to lift Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, King Beimeng and others up. He saw that they had returned from their travels, their clothes still stained red with blood.
wearing armor, his face was filled with emotion.
"Your Majesty, in the battle on Fengshatan Beach, the general failed to complete his mission and failed to defeat the armies of the four countries in one fell swoop. I beg your Majesty to convict him!"
Bai Qi showed remorse on his face and bowed again to salute. The other generals echoed his words and asked Emperor Chu to punish him.
"Haha~"
"You are all the heroes of Wu Chu. No matter how the battle on Fengsha Beach goes, I will reward the three armies!"
"The yellow sands are covered with bloody armor from hundreds of battles. The generals fought fiercely for thousands of miles and finally returned. Although they did not win against the armies of the four countries, they were not defeated. I am very relieved that you can return safely."
"Bai Qi Tingfeng, I will grant you the title of Marquis of Wu'an. The soldiers of the Divine March under your command will be promoted to three levels in a row, and their salary will be tripled."
"Xiang Yu heard the title. I will make you the Overlord of Western Chu. You will command all the Overlord's troops under your command. You will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and silver, 500 jade and silk, 100 servants, and a mansion. All the officers and men under your command will be promoted to three levels in a row, and their salaries will be tripled."
"Li Cunxiao listens to the title, I will grant you the title of Marquis of Wuyong!"
"Xuanyuan Xiu accepts the title, and I will grant you the title of War King!"
"Hua Mulan comes forward to accept the title. I will grant you the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Zhenzhen!"
At the foot of Nishi City, the Emperor of Chu conferred awards on the left and right generals in front of the three armies. Of course, he protected Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Qin Yong and others, and all the soldiers of the three armies also received awards.
for a while.
All the generals and the three armies knelt down to salute and thanked Emperor Chu for his holy grace. The powerful and high-pitched sound echoed under the sky. Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal the soldiers of the three armies to stand up. His face was filled with joy and his voice was like thunder:
"The officers and soldiers of the three armies played an indispensable role in the Battle of Fengshatan Beach. I have ordered the kitchens in the city to prepare meals. All officers and soldiers will return to the city quickly. I will personally celebrate your victory."
The voice of Emperor Chu spread, and the soldiers of the three armies thanked them again. At this time, the morale of the three armies reached an unprecedented height. They had a sense of belonging at this moment, and felt that the bloody battle on the battlefield was worth everything.
At least Emperor Chu did not forget them. Even though the brothers Paoze were buried in the wilderness, Emperor Chu still ordered to remember their names and treat their families well.
"Enter the city!"
"Enter the city!"
The soldiers of the three armies entered the city in a mighty manner, and every soldier had a smile on his face. Seeing this, Emperor Chu nodded gently, and he felt more and more that the war should be ended as soon as possible, so that the people of the world would not be devastated by the war.
Every inch of the country, every inch of blood, only after unification is completed, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and mountains of bones will never appear again in the wilderness.
In one day, Nishi City was bustling with activity. The new troops under the command of Hu, Jia Fu, and Pei Yuanqing were responsible for guarding the city. The other armies were ordered by Emperor Chu to return to camp to rest after they had had enough food and wine. Emperor Chu wanted them to do so in the shortest possible time.
Return to your peak.
The situation in Nishi City was just as Han Xin had guessed. Emperor Chu had accumulated a lot of food and wine, meat and grain. Even the city of Nishi had become the warehouse of the No. 1 village in the world. With a steady stream of food and grass being transported, the Emperor of Chu had already made preparations to cooperate with the four kingdoms.
The preparation of the army for protracted warfare.
Compared with the Chu army in Nishi City, the armies of the four countries stationed in the wilderness were not so happy. They did not have enough food and fodder for the follow-up and could only eat the dry food they brought with them. The soldiers of the three armies had already complained.
at this time.
In the wilderness not far from the windy beach, the armies of the Four Kingdoms once again set up camp. In the large tent of the Central Army of the Qin Empire, Prince Fusu summoned Prince Che, Li Chengqian, and Chi Shu to discuss when to go to Nishi City to attack the Chu army.
"Master Fusu, if you want my Khan's troops to go into battle, you have to wait until the follow-up army and food and grass arrive. When the Emperor of Chu learned that the armies of the Four Kingdoms were coming, Nishi City should have been prepared. At present, the army is short of food and grass. If it cannot be attacked for a long time, it must be
It will cause chaos among the three armies."
Chi Shu spoke first, with a stern expression, not taking Mr. Fusu seriously at all.
"What the Great Khan Youxian said makes sense. Food and grass are indeed the most important issue for the army at the moment, but have you ever thought about it. The Chu Kingdom's food and grass supplies in Nishi City are extremely rich. As long as we take Nishi City in one go, we will surely be able to invade the sacred capital of Luoyang.
The food and grass are enough."
"I have just received news that the No. 1 village in the Chu Kingdom is continuously delivering grain and grass to the Great Stone City. The Emperor of Chu is obviously ready for a long war with our army, so we should send troops to attack the Great Stone City before its foundation is stable.
."
Fusu looked solemn and helpless. He knew Emperor Chu's methods very well. If he failed to attack Nishi City, he would definitely fall into Emperor Chu's trap.
Hear the sound.
Chi Shu fell into silence. On the other hand, Li Chengqian was obviously the same as Chi Shu and did not say much, as if he was watching Fusu perform a one-man show.
At this time, Han Xin, who was sitting next to Young Master Che, suddenly stood up and said, "The Emperor of Chu used his troops in a strange way and knew how to use them well. Now two days have passed. The soldiers of the three armies are recharging their strength and their combat power has reached its peak. I feel that I can support him."
Mr. Su's words make sense."
"Our army is short of food and grass, but Chu's army has it, why don't we take it?"
"The cavalry of the Great Khan's Empire are the best in the world. They are invincible wherever they go. King You Xian must not want to disgrace the reputation of his army."
Han Xin's words were sonorous and powerful, and they were so concise and concise that even if Chi Shu heard them, he would not be able to refute them.
"Haha, what Commander Han said makes sense. I think that as long as the armies of the four countries share the same hatred, conquering Nishi City is not just about taking advantage of the enemy."
"The Qin Army's Musket Corps, our Han Empire's War Elephant Corps, plus the Great Khan Empire's cavalry, and Long Tang's dragnet, it is easy to destroy a city. We should not worry about food and grass here. What we need to do is to attack after discussion."
Chu State, how should we allocate cities, money, beauties and land?"
Gongzi Che's words were astonishing, as if he had injected chicken blood into Li Chengqian and Chi Shu. Their eyes instantly became scorching, and their blood was boiling.
"Okay, I will trust you one more time. If Nishi City cannot be taken again in this battle, reinforcements will not be possible without the army under my command."
"Indeed!"
Chi Shu and Li Chengqian expressed their opinions one after another. Young Master Fusu and Young Master Che looked at each other with sly smiles on their faces, fearing that only two of them knew the meaning.
In fact, in the hearts of Fusu and Liu Che, Chi Shu and Li Chengqian were mediocre people who could not make a difference at all. The real talents and strategies in Longtang and the Great Khan Empire were Li Shimin and Temujin.
It was precisely because of the two people's incompetence that Fusu and Liu Che had the opportunity to use them to complete their own plans, but Chi Shu and Li Chengqian didn't know it. (To be continued)
