"So after your mission to Wei State, you temporarily changed your route and went to Chu State?"

"good"

Gan Luo nodded and explained carefully.

"When I was about to leave Wei State, I happened to hear that Nanzheng was in chaos, and felt that something was wrong, so I temporarily changed my route to Chu State.

"Later, after staying in Chu State for a period of time, I learned from Yunyou Shang that sailing was banned on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River after many inquiries.

"At that time, my subordinates guessed that there might be an accident in Bashu, so they contacted Xiangbang's Anzi in Chu State and rushed to Bashu to find out the news, only then did they know that Bajun had been captured by Han.

"So I simply went to Shouchun to spread the news, so that all the civil and military officials of the Chu Kingdom knew about it."

After hearing this, Lu Buwei slapped his thigh.

"What a plan to drive away tigers and wolves!

"Gan Luo, you did a good job.

"Now I want to see how the King of Han will react, hahaha!"

……

In Berkshire, in the prefect's mansion, the old patriarch was discussing with Liu Paopao and Sun Shiwan in the hall.

In fact, when the news reached Nanzheng, it had been delayed for more than ten days. The Chu army had already occupied Nanjun and Qianzhong counties, and now they were marching westward, preparing to attack the big Han's Bajun.

This worried the old patriarch to death.

The state of Chu sent [-] troops this time, and they were sailing up the river in mighty boats.

But Berkshire only has [-] soldiers and horses. Although there are still more than [-] surrendered soldiers, they are all new recruits, and it will take time to reorganize.

The situation is already extremely unfavorable.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a guard came in to report.

"General, reinforcements from Shu have arrived!"

"Okay, everyone go out with the old man!"

After hearing this, the old patriarch was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the other two to the pier.

The breeze blows, blowing up bursts of smoke and dust.

Knowing that the Chu people were coming to attack the city, the pier, which was quite lively, is now deserted, but it saved the three old patriarchs from the pain of driving the people away.

Tilting slightly, one could see a huge outline looming on the surface of the river from a distance.

It is one foot five feet two inches wide, twelve feet long, and a full four-story building, like a giant beast sneaking on the river.

Although the river is wide, it occupies a fifth of it.

This is the largest warship in the Warring States Period: Louchuan.

When the boat approached, the three old patriarchs finally took a closer look.

I saw countless Han soldiers standing on the deck, all of them straightened their backs, their armor was bright, and their military might was very powerful. It looked like a well-trained army.

Seeing this situation, the old patriarch also guessed that all the soldiers sent from the Shu area should be soldiers, so he was slightly relieved.

Slightly tilted, the building boat docked, the hatch slowly opened, and a huge deck stretched out, and several figures walked out immediately.

The old patriarch led Sun and Liu to greet them, but when he saw the person coming, he was frightened out of his wits.

"Who can tell this old man why that brat Cao Chao's daughter-in-law came here?!"

Chapter 274 I really can't bear it

In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, thousands of boats race.

Countless warships covered the entire river like ants, and the wind blew by, raising countless banners.

On the upstairs ship, there was a staggering of toasts, and the generals were holding a celebration banquet.

"This time the army was able to regain Yingdu and Wu and Qian counties, thanks to the commander's strategizing. Come, let's toast the commander together!"

"Yes, a toast to the handsome!"

"Regard, handsome..."

A lieutenant made a toast to Zhao Baixi who was sitting on the main seat, which attracted others to follow suit.

After Zhao Baixi listened, his face revealed a smug expression, he held up his cup and said with a smile:

"This great victory depends on the bravery of all of you here to fight the enemy. Come, let's drink this cup together!"

After hearing this, all the generals were secretly happy, and quickly raised their wine cups and drank them all in one gulp.

Be obedient and listen to the sound, Zhao Baixi's ability to say this means that he has no intention of taking credit for himself, which makes everyone present feel relieved.

For a while, there was laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere of the scene became lively, until suddenly someone stood up.

"Commander, after repeated battles, the army has long been exhausted.

"Now that Yingdu and Wu and Qian counties have been recovered, and the established goals have been accomplished, the army should be repaired, so why go west to attack Han?

"Now that the Han State is at war with the Qin people, but we are stabbing the knife in the back, isn't it a disguised form to help the Qin people?"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at him like a fool.

The army has fought and won victoriously, Zhao Baixi, as the chief general, is in full swing, and he is also a king himself. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this person will definitely be reused when he returns.

Now someone actually jumps out to accuse the other party in public, so shameless, it is simply cutting himself off from the officialdom!

Sure enough, before Zhao Baixi could speak, someone jumped out and scolded Zhao Baixi for him.

"Xiang Yan, you are just a mere general, yet you dare to question the commander's decision, who gave you the courage?!"

"This person has no sense of dignity, and if he offends his superiors, no punishment will not be enough to appease the public's anger!"

"Yes, this person must be severely punished!"

Some people took the lead, and the rest of the people also fell into trouble one after another, and the voice of condemnation was endless.

A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Baixi's mouth, and he said lightly,

"Now that the Qin and Han decisive battles are taking place in Nanzheng, Bashu is empty, and it is time for us, Great Chu, to use our troops.

"As long as Bashu is captured, the territory of Great Chu will be doubled, and it can also be ruled by the six northern countries.

"Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiang Yan, I don't know why you object to it?

"Don't you want Da Chu to regain its former glory?"

These words can be described as shrimp and pig's heart, and Xiang Yan had to bow his head.

"The last will not dare!"

"Okay, since you don't like to go into battle to kill the enemy, then go to the rear army to manage the auxiliary soldiers.

"promise!"

……

Berkshire, inside the prefect's mansion.

"No, absolutely not!"

Facing the proposal of the startled salamanders and the girls, the old patriarch shook his head like a rattle.

"It's too dangerous. If you guys make any mistakes, how will the old man explain to that kid?"

"Just don't tell him!

"When the time comes, he has done everything, what else can he do?"

"..."

Looking at Nvying with a confident face, the old patriarch was speechless for a while.

He has never seen such a bold woman in his military life.

And not just one, but a group.

What about being virtuous and virtuous as promised, husband and son?

When he taught Jingxi and Xiuniang in the Sutra Pavilion before, the old patriarch often instilled these ideas into the two daughters intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at it now, he thinks too much.

Pain, the old patriarch only felt a sudden pain in the head.

Helplessly looking at Zhu Ying who was sitting at the bottom, only to see that the other party was hiding and shrunk his head like a dead dog, showing no intention of speaking for him, and felt a burst of contempt in his heart.

Phew, incompetent fellow!

Even this kind of thing can become the prime minister, the old man despises you!

At this moment, the old patriarch suddenly felt that I could do it.

"younger sister……"

Seeing that Nvying still wanted to talk, Ehuang quickly pulled her back.

The other party is an elder who brought up her husband single-handedly, and they must give them enough respect.

At this moment, the startled salamander who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

"Old patriarch, tell us the truth, can the [-] soldiers and horses in the city stop the [-] Chu people's army?

"Even if you block it, how much will you lose?"

"This……"

The startled salamander's question hit the nail on the head, and the old patriarch couldn't speak for a while.

"Hey!"

After a long time, he sighed quietly.

"I won't hide it from you, judging from the current situation, it is already the limit to hold Chu people here for half a month.

"As for how many people will die, the old man can't say for sure."
