Chapter 200 The Second Encounter of Lord Wu'an and Lord Xinling
In Shouchun, the capital of Chu State's new king, Huang Xie's hands were trembling as he looked at the latest information he had just obtained.
Jingyang sent someone to deliver the message, but they told him an extremely ridiculous thing. Bai Qi took the initiative to release the prisoners of Chu. When Chun Shenjun just saw the news, he thought that Bai Qi was crazy. This
When more than 100,000 captives returned to the Chu State, they could immediately organize into a large army and continue to resist the Qin people. However, when Jingyang told him that these people had already turned to the Qin people and had no fighting spirit.
When there was a commotion inside, Chun Shenjun instantly understood Bai Qi's thoughts.
Chun Shenjun looked at the bamboo slips placed beside him. Of course he had read Ma Fujun's book. This is what Ma Fujun called ideological warfare? The army of benevolence and righteousness lets the enemy know its faults by forgiving the enemy.
In order to prevent them from helping Zhou to commit evil... Huang Xie laughed, Qin people? Teachers of benevolence and righteousness? It's a bit ridiculous to think about it. When can those executioners who only see the enemy's heads be called teachers of benevolence and righteousness?
Jingyang's solution to these people was simple and crude. He put them back directly... and asked Chun Shenjun to solve it. This made Huang Xie break out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Jingyang couldn't do this well.
You're kind, these hundreds of thousands of people have returned to their hometowns to advocate for the Qin State. This will obviously cause a greater crisis. What's more, I just promoted the tyranny of the Qin army not long ago and told the Chu people that those captives were dead.
Already.
Now that they are back alive, Chu will lose credibility among the people, and the propaganda of those captives will spread to all parts of Chu faster. Huang Xie rubbed his forehead, but he couldn't blame Jingyang. If Jingyang
Otherwise, how could Jingyang protect Chu with an army that would surrender or run away when it encountered the Qin people?
Huang Xie quickly thought about ways to solve these problems. The first thing to do was to take away the "Ma Fu Shu" from the people. This kind of thinking could not be allowed to continue to spread. In addition, he could use the help of people sent by various universities to conduct research on Ma Fu Jun's thoughts.
attack, as for the prisoners... Huang Xie squinted his eyes and had his own plan in mind.
Things were just as Huang Xie thought. Before the prisoners came back, because Huang Xie had concluded that they were dead, their families had mourned them, and their wives had remarried... The prisoners returned home happily and saw
But this was the scene, and they were very angry. When the family said: The government said that you have been killed by the Qin people, their anger completely exploded.
In just half a month, rebellions broke out in six counties of Chu State. Some returning soldiers were arrested by officials for inappropriate remarks, and they immediately killed the officials in rebellion... Fortunately, Huang Xie made preparations in advance and arranged
The troops in various places quickly suppressed the rebellions in various places. The hearts of the Chu people were shaken, and everyone was talking about the benevolent government of the Qin people, the great unification of Ma Fujun, and the deception of the Chu king to them.
Near Nanjun and Nanyang counties, there were people defecting in several cities. A large number of people fled to the Qin Dynasty. The officials of Chu State were extremely frightened, and the county guards of Nanjun and Nanyang counties almost fainted from joy.
, What is a country of benevolence and righteousness? It can make the Chu people who are most attached to their homeland abandon their hometown and flee to themselves. This is a state of benevolence and righteousness! The local officials hurriedly reported these things to Xianyang.
At the same time, the governors of these two places also ordered to treat these Chu people well, give them farmland, and even exempted them from corvee service for a year... Huang Xie could no longer sit still, and hurriedly started his own
The plan. Abuse against Huang Xie began to appear in various places. When the king wanted to redeem the prisoners from the Qin people, Chun Shenjun concluded that these people were dead and refused to redeem them, so he disobeyed the king's order.
These are all Chun Shenjun's faults. Your Majesty should punish him and remove him from his official position.
As these remarks continued to spread, everyone's anger quietly transferred from King Chu to Chun Shenjun. Chun Shenjun's retainers left one after another and were no longer willing to serve him. Chunshen Jun's house could accommodate hundreds of people.
As a result, the large courtyard of Zhao Kuo became empty. Several wise men from Chu State attacked Zhao Kuo's theory, believing that the great unification he meant was to allow one country to enslave other countries. The Chu people would never go there.
Be a slave!
The country of Chu was in great turmoil, and it was at this time that the envoy from Qin finally arrived.
The King of Chu and Lord Chun Shen summoned the Qin envoy alone. The envoy was a young man. After entering the palace, there was not much respect on his face. He just looked proudly towards the King of Chu and the King of Chun Shen.
Lord Chun Shen saluted, and Lord Chun Shen asked maliciously: "You came to Shouchun the day before yesterday, why did you come to see the king today? Do you have other missions when you came to Chu State?"
The envoy smiled and said: "I was just too tired, so I rested for two days. I set out from Qin State to see the king, but the king's carriage was traveling too fast. I went all the way from Chendu to Shouchun.
It’s too tiring to catch up.”
The King of Chu was immediately furious, and Lord Chun Shen didn't look very good either. He just looked at him coldly.
The envoy then told the reason why he came here. The King of Qin was Renyi and did not want to see the people of Chu displaced and the soldiers of Chu dying on the battlefield. He hoped to stop the war with Chu and negotiate a peace. The King of Chu still
Without speaking, Huang Xie just looked at Chun Shenjun. Huang Xie thought for a moment and then asked with a smile: "This is a good thing. Since King Qin is benevolent and wants to end the war, he should negotiate peace with all countries. I
Then send someone to inform the kings of the three Jin Dynasties."
The envoy shook his head and said: "Zhao and Wei have agreed to the king's request for peace. Only Chu has not yet conducted negotiations. This is the reason why I came here."
Huang Xie pointed at the envoy and shouted angrily: "You are lying! Qin wants to make Chu betray its allies! It will become a country that is unfaithful!"
The messenger was still very calm and said: "If you are not willing to negotiate for peace, then please continue to send more troops to fight with Lord Wu'an. The soldiers of Qin State did not receive enough military merit because of the king's order, so they are eager to fight."
Enter the royal capital of Chu State and exchange your head for a title." King Chu could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly. However, Huang Xie stopped King Chu, and there was no longer any sullenness on his face.
, just asked with a smile: "What title is my head worth?"
"Promoted to the fourth level, rewarded with a hundred gold, and twenty good horses."
"A head as beautiful as mine is only worth so much?"
The envoy was dumb and speechless. Huang Xie waved his hand and asked the warriors to take him out, but did not let them kill the envoy. After the envoy left, Huang Xie smiled bitterly and said to the King of Chu.
: "Your Majesty, this man came with the determination to die, so he is not afraid. Negotiating peace is Fan Ju's strategy. If we negotiate for peace, Chu's alliance strategy will be destroyed... But if we don't accept the peace negotiation.
..Chu State...sigh."
Huang Xie sighed and said just now: "This is all my fault. I have prepared food for the army in advance to deal with the threat of Qin. I mistakenly thought that Qin's goal would be the three Jins. I did not expect that they would
A large-scale attack on Chu State..."
"Please don't say that. You took the initiative to bear all the charges... This makes me feel very guilty." King Chu said, his face full of self-blame. The all-out war with Qin was the fault of King Chu.
At that time, Huang Xie persuaded him to move the capital and avoid a full-scale war with Qin. Chu should accumulate more war reserves. However, the King of Chu was angered by Qin's provocation and insisted on going his own way. Huang Xie had no choice but to prepare for a war with Qin.
of all-out combat.
But now, all the crimes involved have been borne by Huang Xie himself. More and more people in the country are scolding him. Drunk nobles often block the door of Huang Xie's house and curse, and most of his guests also leave, thinking that
Lord Chun Shen was not a person worthy of allegiance. King Chu just felt that he was unworthy of Huang Xie. If he had listened to him and temporarily backed down, perhaps he would not have been like this.
Huang Xie originally had his own strategy. First, he would form alliances with other countries, and then he would destroy the Lu State, capture more land, and strengthen the Chu State. He would pay attention to farming and mulberry, accumulate a large amount of food, weapons, and train the people.
Huang Xie had just launched a crusade against Qin with other countries and inflicted heavy losses on Qin. In Huang Xie's opinion, after accumulating for several years and selecting an outstanding general from each country to form a coalition to attack Qin, Qin would definitely fail.
.
Huang Xie smiled, waved his hand, and said to the King of Chu: "Please don't say that, I can die for you. What's more, these things now are all because of my fault. If I manage the Chu Kingdom to be strong,
, so you won’t suffer such humiliation..." Huang Xie said no more, he didn't want to talk about these things. He frowned, thought for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "We still can't negotiate peace."
"Although the continuation of the war will cause Chu State to suffer greater losses... if we leave our allies to negotiate peace alone, it will completely destroy Chu State's strategy. Negotiating peace now is certainly a good thing in the short term, but in the long run
Come on, if the Chu State is attacked by the Qin State again, because of the current choice, no country will be willing to come to the rescue of the Chu State. I will continue to prepare supplies and reinforce Jingyang. The Chu State cannot negotiate peace!!"
King Chu nodded and said, "Okay."
"Please cut off my food... as a punishment... Also, please reprimand me in public." Huang Xie said seriously: "If the Chu State does not accept the peace negotiation, the people who are tired of war and lack of food will definitely
If they are dissatisfied, you can reprimand me for these things... Just let them think that I did these things, and let them resent me instead of resenting the country."
...........
At this moment, Jingyang had already retreated to Chendu, and several partial divisions had already retreated to the rear. The Qin State continued to attack, and battles broke out between the two sides in several cities. The Chu State lost more than it won, and the defense line was in danger.
Yang could only continue to shrink the defense line and resist tenaciously. Bai Qi could no longer advance as quickly as before. However, Qin still maintained its advantage over Chu, and Chendu almost became an isolated city.
Like a rock standing alone on the shore, it is constantly facing the impact of waves, but it remains motionless.
This city seemed to be guarded by the heroic soul of General Xiang Xian. The Chu army stood on the city wall. Jingyang personally worshiped the Chu soldiers who died here, and then began to respond to the Qin people's siege. Bai Qi attacked fiercely for three days.
They also failed to capture the city. Where Xiang Xian stood in the past, Jingyang stood like him, and their figures gradually merged together, shouting in the same way, and raised Qin's soldiers high.
He lifted it high and threw it off the city wall!
The war on the Chu side is still going on, and the war on the Shangdang side is a bit confusing.
The Qin State experienced several defeats in Shangdang. Wang Ling was not Wei Wuji's opponent. In other words, Wang Ling had too few soldiers. Shangdang had not been occupied by the Qin State for a long time, and it was not yet a place where all the people could serve as soldiers.
, fighting to the death for Qin, Wang Ling could only reluctantly defend. He abandoned some cities and repeatedly sought reinforcements from the King of Qin. At this time, Meng Wu had also approached Shangdang.
However, what Meng Wu didn't expect was that Wei Wuji judged the path he wanted to take when he came to join the party, and actually set an ambush halfway and gave Meng Wu a head-on blow. Meng Wu refused to retreat, relying on the strong resilience of the Qin army.
After being rescued by Wang Ling, Wei Wuji withdrew and returned to the city. Wei's reinforcements also entered the Shangdang area and joined forces with Wei Wuji. The two sides started fighting in Shangdang again.
Both sides have waited for their own reinforcements. In terms of military strength, Wei Wuji still has some advantages, but Qin has sent reinforcements again. Wei Wuji's advantage in military strength cannot be maintained for long, because Wei Wuji suffered several heavy losses, and Wang Ling
He chose to defend the city and wait for the arrival of Lord Wu An. The Chu people that Lord Wu An was fighting in Chu State were retreating steadily. As long as Lord Wu An killed the Chu people and came to Shangdang, Wei Wuji would have nothing to fear.
After the two sides fought for a period of time, Jingyang had too many casualties and its logistics road was harassed by Qin, so he voluntarily abandoned Chendu and retreated to Juyang... And Bai Qi once again invaded the capital of Chu.
After entering the capital, Bai Qi rested and reorganized, then attacked again with a partial division and continued to advance in Chu territory. However, he commanded an army to move into South Korea.
This frightened the King of Han so much that he hurriedly asked all countries for rescue.
Wei Wuji couldn't find a breakthrough in Shangdang because of Wang Ling's stubborn defense, so he used a lot of smoke to confuse Wang Ling, but he secretly led the main army into South Korea. At this moment, Bai Qi had already conquered many parts of South Korea.
In a small city, Bai Qi was on his way to Xinzheng when he suddenly encountered Wei Wuji's main army. Wei Wuji was extremely happy. Finally, he successfully ambush Bai Qi!
However, Bai Qi's superb commanding skills did not cause him to suffer too much loss. Later, he and Wei Wuji clashed in South Korea. The people of South Korea once again faced disaster and fled in all directions. Wei Wuji and Bai Qi fought many times.
In the battle, due to the huge advantage in military strength, he and Bai Qi were victorious and defeated Bai Qi several times. At this time, Wang Ling found out that Wei Wuji actually rushed to South Korea with the main force, which made him furious.
He hurriedly led troops to reinforce, but was ambushed by Wei Wuji again. Bai Qi was a little surprised that Wei Wuji used Bai Qi's classic tactics so familiarly.
At this moment, Jingyang also immediately launched a counterattack. The Chu army attacked crazily. Taking advantage of Bai Qi's absence, they once again forced the Qin people back to Chendu. This time, the defenders became Qin people.
At this moment, Wang Ling, who experienced another defeat, was deprived of his status as a general and was taken to Xianyang.
Zheng Anping took his place and continued to lead the Shangdang army.
Bai Qi gave Zheng Anping a new order: ignore Wei Wuji in South Korea and attack Zhao directly from Shangdang!
Zheng Anping was not excited because he succeeded in taking over Wang Ling's position. He was very scared because he saw Wang Ling's fate. He saw with his own eyes that Wang Ling was put into a prison car because of repeated defeats and the battle damage was greater than beheading. The people he commanded
Shangdang's partial army also did not have enough heads, so he set his sights on Zhao State outside Danshui... Perhaps, he should get some heads... to avoid falling into the situation like Wang Ling
