He firmly believed that Xiang Yan would not lose so soon.

Xiang Yan is Lord Wu'an of Chu State, and his strategy does not belong to Wang Jian.

What's more, his Chu army's 50 troops, even if they kill pigs, can't kill them all in just a few days!

King Chu Chu sat on his throne with a gloomy face, but his heart was burning with anxiety. He was waiting for the news, the battle report from Xiang Yan from the front line.

Even if Xiang Yan is defeated, he will retreat to the south. As long as the Huaihe River is guarded, Shouchun will not fall.

At noon, a group of soldiers rushed into Shouchun City, and finally brought the news that King Chu was waiting.

"My lord, the Qin army attacked Xiangxi, and the old patriarch of the Qu clan in Xiangxi surrendered with his people."

boom!

The king of Chu stood up suddenly, and all the ministers were stunned. Qu's surrendered to the Qin army. How could this be possible?

The Qu family is the largest public clan in the Chu country, half of the sky in the Chu country, and the Qu family actually surrendered?

Qu's civil and military ministers in the court were also dumbfounded.

We wanted to die in battle, why did the ancestor surrender?

Before everyone could react, another piece of news came again.

"My lord, last night our army..."

The minister who reported broke down and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

King Chu stood up slowly, but at this moment, without the slightest panic, he asked, "How is our army?"

"Big defeat, defeat..."

"General Xiang Yan committed suicide with a knife, Zhong Lixin disappeared, Yu Kan died in battle... The northern front has completely fallen!"

The King of Chu said: "..."

At this moment, he felt dizzy and dizzy in an instant, fell headlong, passed out, and couldn't hold on any longer.

The ministers panicked, and the deputy commander Yin Zhaoyong stood up to preside over the overall situation, and wanted to prepare Xiang Rong from the western front to return to the town for Shouchun.

The grandfather of the king of Chu, Cheng Liang, the patriarch of the Cheng family, and Sun Chengcheng, the patriarch of the Sun family, stood up, but proposed to move the capital to Jiangdong.

Jing Chai, the doctor of the Sanlu, and Yin Zhaoyong, the deputy commander, stood up to oppose it at the same time.

The capital city is still there, and the enemy army is right in front of us. Isn't it a big escape to propose to move the capital at this time?

But Cheng Liang's words blocked everyone's Youyou's mouth.

"Now, do you want me to fight the people of Qin with a long knife? I don't dare in Chengliang, do you dare?"

The ministers didn't speak anymore, and then they agreed with Cheng Liang's words, moved to the capital city, and made a comeback in the future.

On the west front, Zhang He asked Wang Ben to lead [-] cavalry, bypassing the west line defended by Xiang Rong, and rushed directly to Shouchun, joining Wang Jian and the vanguard army sent from the south, and directly captured the thief and the king first.

After defeating Shouchun and capturing the King of Chu alive, the Kingdom of Chu surrendered without a fight.

If the war continues, Qin will also suffer heavy losses, because they have to face the other two countries.

Zhang He led an army of 18 and approached the western front guarded by Xiang Rong.

18 against Xiang Rong's [-] army, it was a matter of hand, Zhang He didn't even want to do it.

However, Xiang Rong, this damn thing, was slapped three times and escaped from his encirclement. He once said that once Xiang Rong escaped, he would catch him once.

Zhang He was going to grab Xiang Rong again and force the old guy to make another move. This time the old guy's shot must be the time of the old guy's death.

Because at this moment, Zhang He is surrounded by masters, his own people, people from the Black Ice Terrace, people from the trap, Jianghu swordsmen, and hundreds of schools of thought. They are all here. The main reason is that there is Donghuang supporting him. confidence.

He was going to draw out the old guy who slapped him three times that day, whether he was Chu Nangong or not, he would die anyway.

No matter what you say, "Although three families in Chu will perish in Qin, Chu will be destroyed", or "Fenghuo Forest", with Zhang He around, don't even think about going wild.

"The general listened to the order, surrounded the Chu army, encircled it without destroying it, publicized the matter of surrender every day, and waited for the news of Shouchun's fall. When Shouchun fell, they surrendered without fighting."

"I want to capture Xiang Rong, Long Qi, Ji Bu..."

……

Chapter 412 King Chu's Last Stubbornness, Jing Chai Prepares to Die in Battle

On the road leading from Shouchun of Chu State to Jiangdong, there are huge crowds of people, crying for their fathers and mothers, and they are all frantically running towards Jiangdong.

Shouchun is about to fall, the king of Chu is gone, the ministers are gone, the nobles are gone...

Only a group of civilians and slaves were left behind!

When King Chu woke up, he found himself sitting in a carriage, which was running fast.

"Stop, park..."

The carriage continued to gallop, but the imperial hand didn't seem to hear King Chu's call.

The king of Chu was furious, but the car shook so badly that he couldn't get out of the car door.

So, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and found that there was a large army all around, and all the people were running wildly, followed by the maids and servants. They cried together, but they still ran after them.

The king of Chu was stunned, thinking that he was dreaming.

He slapped himself hard, and then woke up from the pain. It turned out that it was not a dream, but a real existence.

what is happening?

Could it be that when I fainted, the Qin army attacked Shouchun City, and the ministers fled with me?

King Chu lifted the curtain of the car and shouted loudly: "Stop the car..."

The driver who was driving the chariot finally heard the call of the King of Chu, and hastily reined in the horse, and the chariot stopped.

"What's the matter?"

The imperial hand quickly bowed and said: "My lord, the Qin army is here, and our army is no longer able to resist. Ling Yin and other adults discussed and made a decision to move the capital."

"presumptuous!"

"Move the capital? Where do you want to move to? Did you get the widow's consent?"

At this time, the ministers saw the king of Chu's car stopped, got off the horse and ran to the king of Chu.

"Your Majesty..."

Chu Wang looked at the ministers with cold eyes, and said coldly, "Who will tell me what's going on?"

"Whose idea is this? Move the capital? Have you lost your mind?"

Sanlu doctor Jing Chai said coldly: "Chengliang, Sun Cheng, don't you dare to do it or not?"

Deputy Commander Yin Zhaoyong also said coldly: "This proposal was made by the head of the married family, and I can't help it?"

Cheng Liang snorted coldly, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it was proposed by the old minister. Shouchun is no longer available. Even if you persist, you will only be captured by breaking the city. Could it be that Your Majesty is willing to become a prisoner of Yingzheng and be imprisoned for a lifetime?" Is it in Xianyang City?"

"Grandpa, I would rather die in Shouchun, that is the foundation of our ancestors! The ancestral temple of our ancestors is still in Shouchun!"

Cheng Liang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the capital of my Great Chu is in Yingdu, and it was later moved to Shouchun. The ancestral temple of Chu State has long been in Yingdu."

Then Cheng Liang sighed and persuaded: "My lord, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone you are the king of a country."

Sun Cheng also persuaded: "My lord, as long as you are still alive, there is a possibility of a comeback. Let's move the capital to Jiangdong and make a comeback."

The King of Chu looked at Jingchai, Zhaoyong and other important ministers, and asked, "You also mean that?"

Zhao Ran sighed and said, "Chen..."

But Jing Chai said angrily: "As long as the king talks about war, I am willing to lead the army to fight the Qin people to the death. My elder brother has been besieged in the land of Jingchu, and there is no news of him. I don't know whether he is dead or alive."

"My two sons died fighting for the state of Chu, and the elder brother's eldest son also died fighting for the state of Chu. General Xiang Yan was a loyal family, and they all died fighting for the state of Chu..."

"If I retreat without fighting, I will be sorry for them, and even more sorry for the ancestors, and I will be sorry for the ancestors..."

King Chu's chest heaved and heaved, his face was extremely gloomy, he clenched his fists, and roared angrily: "Go back, I will fight myself, you are dead in battle, I will personally charge with a knife."

The king of Chu jumped out of the carriage and climbed onto a war horse.

Cheng Liang grabbed the stalk and persuaded in a panic: "Your Majesty, don't show off your bravery...the green hills are kept so that you don't have to worry about firewood."

"Grandpa, do you want the widow to become the fugitive king?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister only wants you to live."

"Your Majesty, please think twice, as long as you are alive, Chu State will not be destroyed." Zhao Yong also bowed and said.

The ministers around him knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Everyone knelt down, only Jing Chai stood proudly.

Seeing this, Jing Chai raised his head and laughed, pointing at the ministers and cursing: "Cowards, cowards, you are not worthy of being the Duke of Chu."

"You are cowards..."

Cheng Liang stood up indifferently and shouted: "Jingcha, do you dare to scold the king?"

All the ministers were tit for tat against Jing Chai.

The king of Chu roared angrily: "Enough!"

What kind of courtiers did you raise yourself?

It deserves that the Great Chu is going to be destroyed, the Great Chu is going to be destroyed!

At this moment, scouts rushed from behind.

"Report, thirty miles away, there are Qin troops chasing, the number of people is unknown..."

Sun Cheng was in a hurry. If he was caught up by Qin Jun, he would be in big trouble.

"Your Majesty, please get on the carriage..."

"Come here, let the king get into the carriage..."

King Chu Chu was directly put on the carriage.

Jing Chai continued to laugh, and finally bowed and smiled at the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, let's go. I am willing to participate in the final battle for Da Chu. If I am going to die, I will die under the foundation of my ancestors."

Then Jing Chai turned around: "My sons and daughters of Da Chu, who would like to follow the old man to fight fiercely with the people of Qin?"

"Buy enough time for the king and the ministers to escape."

"I am willing to fight to the death for Da Chu!"

The royal guards following behind drew their swords one after another, preparing to follow Jing Chai to block the Qin people's pursuers.

The king of Chu burst into tears: "..."

The ministers hated Jing Chai, the damned Jing Chai even satirized them for fleeing, they were just for the continuation of Da Chu's foundation.

Chapter 413 Cavalry Against Charge

Zhang Tang led two legions and marched rapidly all the way.

After they fought the Chu army along the Huaihe River, the chief general of the Chu army, the eldest son of Da Sima Jingyang, was killed by them, but the Chu army's defense along the Huaihe River was very strong. If they wanted to attack Shouchun, they had to cross the Huaihe River.

Zhang Tang saw that he would not be able to conquer it for a while, so he took a detour with his army and crossed the river from the east where the defense was weak.

They crossed the Huai River that night and fought all the way to Shouchun City, and Wang Ben also led [-] cavalry to the vicinity of Shouchun.

They fought fiercely all night, and finally wiped out the nearby enemy troops.

What they didn't expect was that Shouchun had become an empty city, and King Chu of Chu escaped with the nobles and ministers.

After the two discussed it, Wang Ben entered Shouchun, took control of Shouchun City, and waited for the army to arrive in Shouchun.

And Zhang Tang took two legions and chased in the direction where King Chu fled.

After chasing Zhang Tang for a day and a night, he finally encountered the [-] Imperial Guards of Chu State led by Jing Chai near Jianyang City in the south of the Yangtze River.

These imperial guards were also cavalry, and this was the last force that the king of Chu had to bear.

Seeing that the Qin army had only [-] cavalry, while he had [-] cavalry on his side, Jing Chai led the army to charge without saying a word.

Zhang Tang chased him for a day and a night, but he lost his temper.

What's more, who is he leading?
