Chapter 466: Xiang Kuang Accepting the Reality

There is only one month, which is a bit rushed for Deng Guo, and there are too many things to prepare for dispatching troops, but if Deng Sheng is to give up this god-given opportunity to seize Guangling County, Deng Sheng will not be reconciled to anything, go get it now Guangling County can be said to be bloodless. If Guangling County falls into Zhao Guo's hands, then Deng Guo doesn't know how many people will die to take it from Zhao Guo.

"In less than a month, it will definitely be too late to mobilize troops from other places. We can only mobilize a troop from Huainan Road!" Deng Sheng thought for a while and said, the Davids in Deng's country are stationed in various places. There is only one month to guard the place, so we can only mobilize the soldiers and horses guarding Huainan Road. Deng Guo stationed a total of three guards on Huainan Road, namely the Spirit Snake Guard, Shence Guard, and Yongping Guard, a total of 15 Soldiers and horses, if they send fast horses from Wancheng, they can reach the Sanwei garrison within seven days, and it will take fifteen days at the earliest after the Sanwei gathers food, grass and military funds to send troops north to Guangling.

Deng Sheng went to the map and looked it over carefully. The three guards of Huainan Road, the Spirit Snake Guard, and the Shence Guard were stationed in Jiujiang County, which is the closest to Guangling County. They should be the most suitable candidates. Therefore, Deng Sheng plans to mobilize the Yongping Guard stationed in Lujiang County. The role of Yongping Guard stationed in Lujiang County is to support the Shence Guard and Spirit Snake Guard in Jiujiang County. , Yongpingwei can be said to have nothing to do, and it is most appropriate to send them to Guangling County.

"Immediately send fast horses to Lujiang County, where Yongpingwei is stationed, and pass on the widow's edict, ordering the general of Yongpingwei Guan Yu to lead [-] Yongpingwei to the north to the junction of Jiujiang County and Guangling County, and wait for the news of the collapse of Pengcheng City Come on, enter Guangling immediately, remember that the common people do not disturb, and ensure the safety of the third prince of Chu!" Deng Sheng said after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, what should Zhao Jun do if after our army has occupied Guangling County, what should we do?" It's a big fight, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if Li Rubing loses his mind and directly sends troops to attack Guangling County?

Well, this is a problem that has to be guarded against. Deng Sheng thought for a while and said: "Jiang Qing is right, don't entrust others with the same thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, and at the same time send someone to tell the spirit snake General Wei Murong Ke and Shence Wei General Zhang Liao ordered them to closely monitor Zhao Jun's movements. If Zhao Jun is found to be heading towards Guangling County, they should quickly reinforce Guangling County. Let the army go to war!" After that, Deng Sheng thought about it, but still felt a little uneasy, so he looked at Yue Fei again and said, "Yue Qing, you go to the Huainan Road Governor in person. If Li Rubing really doesn't care about life and death, you You can decide for yourself!"

After Deng Sheng thought it over, he decided to let Yue Fei go to Huainan Road. After all, Li Rubing was well-known. Commander, facing Li Rubing's 30 Zhao army may not be able to do it, Yue Fei is relieved to go to coordinate the three armies and Deng Sheng.

"Here!" Yue Fei responded without any hesitation. Although Yue Fei is over 50 years old and has gradually begun to stay away from the battlefield these years, as a soldier, only the battlefield belongs to him, so after a few years of good life Yue Fei chose to go to Huainan Road without hesitation.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on the fifth day of August, Li Rubing led one hundred thousand Zhao troops to besiege Pengcheng. At this time, there were only ten thousand soldiers in Pengcheng. Under Dong Zhong's interception, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's army could not come back in the end. Stopped by Dong Zhong on the Bank of the Wasted Yellow River, Zhao Jun launched a fierce attack on Pengcheng after three days of rest. However, the Chu army resisted very tenaciously. In addition to the strong walls of Pengcheng, Zhao Jun could not break through the city for five consecutive days.

However, although Pengcheng has not been destroyed, the number of Chu troops in the city has been greatly reduced after days of bloody battles, and now there are only less than 8000 people left.

Pengcheng, the side hall of Bawang Palace, Xiang Kuang was sitting alone in the hall, his eyes were dull and his face was at a loss. Before the Zhao army besieged the city, Fan Ting, who was sent to Wancheng as an envoy, had returned. From one month to half a year, although Xiang Kuang is not a smart person, he can still hear something from it. Deng Guo is going to give up Chu State, and he is sick, and he will send troops in three months. It's just an excuse. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is difficult for Chu to last for a month, so how can it last for three months?
After learning of Deng Guo's plan, Xiang Kuang locked himself in the side hall of the Overlord's Hall without seeing anyone. He wanted to spend the rest of the time quietly. Chu State is over and hopeless It’s medicine, but let Xiang Kuang surrender, Xiang Kuang can’t do it anyway, because he has already surrendered once six years ago, this time he will not surrender again, because he can’t afford to lose this person anymore, As a descendant of Overlord Xiang Yu, he has his own dignity.

The shouts of killing outside the city were deafening these days, and countless court ministers knelt outside the hall to beg for permission for three days or two, but Xiang Kuang turned a deaf ear to it.

"Finally it's the last moment, I didn't expect that I still can't keep it. It's okay, maybe Dachu should have ended ten years ago, and I made money after a few more years. It's really like a dream. I thought I had a chance. To revive the prestige of the ancestors, but in the end, it will be nothing." Xiang Kuang murmured.

"Your Majesty, my minister Fan Ting is begging to see you, Your Majesty!" Outside the hall, Fan Ting knelt in front of the hall door and shouted loudly, begging Xiang Kuang to see him. After he returned to Pengcheng and told Xiang Kuang what had happened in Wancheng, he never saw Xiang Kuang again. Countless court ministers begged to see him, but Xiang Kuang insisted on closing the gate of the side hall tightly, and no one was seen. Now Pengcheng is besieged by Zhao Guo's army outside, but at this time, Xiang Kuang, the king of Chu, is hiding by himself, is it plausible?

"Ah!" After a long time, a sigh came from the side hall, and then Xiang Kuang inside said: "It's Fan Xiang, come in!"

Hearing Xiang Kuang's words, Fan Ting was overjoyed, got up quickly, and walked into the hall. This time, with Xiang Kuang's permission, the soldiers guarding the gate of the hall never stopped Fan Ting again. Fan Ting stepped forward and pushed away the heavy At the gate, a ray of sunlight outside the door shone into the dark side hall. Fan Ting looked up and found that Xiang Kuang was sitting on the throne with a haggard face, looking at Fan Ting who came in blankly.

"Your Majesty, who is this?" Fan Ting had never seen Xiang Kuang like this before, and he was surprised when he saw it suddenly.

"Hehe, isn't the widow very haggard?" Facing Fan Ting's surprise, Xiang Kuang smiled miserably.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Da Chu still needs your Majesty to preside over the overall situation." Fan Ting did not respond positively to Xiang Kuang, but asked Xiang Kuang to take care of himself, which was self-evident.

Xiang Kuang smiled and said: "Da Chu has become like this, what is the overall situation, let alone the widow, I don't know why Fan Xiang came to see the widow today?"

Fan Ting replied: "Go back to your lord, this minister is here to report the situation of the battle with the Zhao army these days!"

"Oh? That's it. Then how many people are left and how long can we hold on?" Xiang Kuang asked Fan Ting directly, how many people are left in the Chu army in Pengcheng, and how long can we hold on.

Seeing that Xiang Kuang was acting so indifferent, Fan Ting felt ashamed. He knew that by this time, Xiang Kuang, the King of Chu, had given up. Otherwise, he would never be like this, but Fan Ting still told Xiang Kuang the truth Kuang: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still 8000 defenders in Pengcheng. Judging from Zhao Jun's offensive in recent days, it is estimated that they can last for ten days!"

"Ten days? Well, if Fan Xiang still misses the friendship between you and me, then come to the widow after ten days. If Fan Xiang doesn't come, the widow will not blame Fan Xiang. Besides, At that time, the widow has no right to blame Fan Xiang, please go back, Fan Xiang!" After hearing Fan Ting's words, Xiang Kuang's face did not show any emotion, and he asked Fan Ting to go back, and told Fan Ting that if possible, ten Find yourself later.

When will it be ten days later? It is probably time for Pengcheng to be broken. Seeing this, Fan Ting became anxious and said, "Your Majesty, everything has not yet been decided. As long as Your Majesty cheers up, I, Da Chu, still have a chance!"

"There is no chance, Fan Xiang, please come back!" After finishing speaking, Xiang Kuang turned and left the front hall. Seeing Xiang Kuang leave, Fan Ting shook his head with a wry smile, turned and left, Xiang Kuang was already determined to lose Counted, what else can he say?
