Longyang loves Qin

After everyone shared their news, they dispersed quickly. After all, the siege just now was exhausting, and even if they didn't rest, they had to scrub.

Ye Yu had someone bring water in. After washing his body briefly, he wore a loose unlined garment and began to apply medicine to himself.

When he fought Xiang Yan, he was in danger, so it was impossible for him not to be injured at all.But it's not serious, it's just a few cuts, it doesn't affect the movement, it's just a little painful when touched by sweat.

Fortunately, his bronze armor is well protected. Although Xiang Yan has been attacking at places that are not protected, others can't dodge it. It is still possible to adjust his posture a little so that the blade falls on the armor.

It was just a small wound, and it wasn't a troublesome place. He took care of it by himself.

For the time being, he didn't need to pay the bills. He just put on a piece of clothing over his inner coat and sat behind a few desks to check for gaps in his arrangement.

When he tricked Xiang Yan to go to Yingshui, he temporarily stayed in Xiangcheng with his army, and in order to confuse the Chu army, in addition to his own army going to Luyang, he also split a group to Xiangyangdi.

The army going to Yangzhai was not only a few thousand as in the usual trick, but actually tens of thousands, otherwise it would not be able to confuse the Chu army for a long time, let alone make other preparations.

It's just that these tens of thousands of people did not come from his 30 army, but soldiers from Xiangcheng.

In addition, when passing through Luyang and rectifying military discipline, he divided his troops again. 10 people passed Luguan and entered Wancheng. They were led by several generals whom he had always trusted, including his eldest disciple Li You and others, and joined the army of Nanyang County.

This is why when Tangxi was attacked, the enemy would suspect that it was soldiers from Wancheng, because Nanyang County did show signs of mobilizing troops, just like Yangdi.

Of course, he did not draw 10 people to create such an illusion. He has always been a person who likes to kill many birds with one arrow, and confusing the Chu army is just one of them.

At the beginning, he planned to let more than [-] troops from Nanyang County go east along the Huai River. Compared with Yingshui, which seems safe but has many obstacles, Huai River is truly smooth.

Its source starts from Tongbai Mountain in Nanyang County and goes eastward. Near the intersection of Heying River is Shouchun, and to the south is Dabie Mountain. There are only two towns about the size of Tangxi along the way. The route is tortuous and very suitable for sneaking.

And most of the 10 people he drew out were landlubbers who were not good at water, just to let the generals of Wancheng practice it.That's why he only ordered the partial general, and didn't let Wang Ben and the others go, otherwise it would be difficult to overwhelm him.Besides, there are only two small battles, so there is no need to overkill.

He wanted to take down Shangcai. Even if he controlled this area, he quietly took down the two cities that Huaishui passed by on the other side, and the two armies joined together and headed eastward.

At that time, everyone thought that after defeating Shangcai, his next target would be Pingyu, but they didn't know that he didn't take the usual path, and didn't plan to capture these cities one by one, but went straight to Juyang above Shouchun .

But this was all his original plan, and it had to be based on the fact that Xiang Yan was lured away and Shang Cai could take it down quickly.

The appearance of Xiang Yan disrupted his plan, but it would not make all his deployments invalid.

After learning from Uncle Le and Meng Tian that Xiang Yan might not be in the trap, Ye Yu immediately intercepted the order that was about to be sent and changed to a new deployment.

With Xiang Yan on his side and the Huaishui, it is difficult to meet, and the time is not right, so he can only give up, and likewise gave up the plan to avoid Shouchun from that road and attack Juyang directly, and let That army went directly to Shouchun.

After that, the Qin army continued to besiege the city.Siege is a very common method in siege warfare, but many people doubt that the Qin army really has so much food and grass and the Chu army consumes it?

Regardless of whether there was or not, the news that "Shangcai city gate was broken, Qin army besieged the city, and Xiang Yan could not come out" was spread.

I don't know where it started, anyway, there are rumors in Juyang City, the capital of Chu State, that Xiang Yan's army will not be defeated.

Of course, when such rumors first spread, no one would believe them. In the hearts of the people of Chu State, Xiang Yan's fascination was higher than that of Chu King.

But that battle has been reported in great detail, and it is naturally not a secret that few people know that Qin's cement and concrete were used to build the city wall.

Cement has always been dressed in a magical way. It is a documentary version, but there are other rumors about overnight success. In this way, the people of Chu State heard that Ye Yu broke Shangcai by relying on cement, but believed the rumors. .

Rumors of this letter spread wildly in Juyang, and even reached the ears of King Chu in the palace.

Hearing the rumors, the King of Chu became panicked, because Shangcai was sealed off, and Xiang Yan's battle report had never been released. He suddenly heard the detailed rumors, and he believed them faster than the common people.

"What should I do?" the king of Chu called his close ministers and asked.

The minister thought for a while and said, "Shangcai has not yet been captured, which means that General Xiang is still defeated. Your Majesty need not be so anxious."

The king of Chu couldn't think about this at all. He only thought of the turmoil during the rebellion of Lord Chunshen, and felt that if the Qin army attacked him, he would have no good fruit to eat. "If he is defeated, who else can resist Qin? Army? I also heard that the Qin army is coming from the shore gate, and Xiang Yan is trapped, how can we stop it?"

If King Chu Kaolie had taught him a thing or two, Negium would definitely not be so useless, but when he succeeded to the throne, he was not even a prince. If it weren't for the chaotic situation at that time, there were so many talented sons in the clan, it would not be his turn to succeed. bit.

His close ministers are not those important ministers who worry about the country and the people in the court, but just a guy who has achieved success from the power of the dragon.

The near minister is not very clear about the situation of Shangcai. Seeing that the king of Chu is thinking so much, he really thinks that Xiang Yan is about to lose. ?”

The King of Chu shook his head again and again, "There are also Qin troops on the other side of the shore gate who want to fight down. If there are no such soldiers, the Qin army will go straight to Juyang!"

The minister thought about it, and said: "Chu should have more than [-] soldiers left. Why don't your majesty gather all these soldiers to protect Juyang?"

The King of Chu nodded first, and then shook his head again, "Even Xiang Yan can't stop Qin's 30 troops, how long can 10,000+ troops hold back? Besides, Qin's army still has that cement!"

The matter of cement came out when King Kaolie of Chu was still a small and transparent bearer at that time. I don’t know much about it. I only know that Chu State spent a lot of money and didn’t get something at that time. It can not only build city walls, but also attack cities. It is a very powerful thing.

This time the minister thought for a longer time, he hesitated for a long time and said: "How about...seeking peace from Qin?"

King Chu's eyes lit up, "By the way, ask for peace!" Because Xiang Yan was in charge of the previous war, he forgot that he could still ask for peace.

He adopted this suggestion and raised it at the court meeting the next day.

Due to many turmoil, the government of Chu State is very chaotic now. It is good that Xiang Yan and others are suppressing it, but now the news of Xiang Yan's defeat and trapping is spreading, and there is no battle report to clarify it. How useful.

So it didn't take long for Chu State's peace petition to be submitted to Ying Zheng's case.

In fact, if it were a different general, the state of Chu would not be so flustered, but these days, Xiang Yan, who defeated the rebels for the state of Chu and drove away the state of Wei, has already become a pillar, and now the pillar is about to fall. People are at risk.

Ying Zheng just glanced at it roughly, and put it aside with disdain. Even if the silk script said that Chu State was willing to cede ten cities in the Shangcai area, it didn't move him.

If the Qin State only wanted ten cities, where would it send 30 troops?

When Ye Yu came to the battle report earlier, the situation was very good, and no one would be tempted even if the peace petition was discussed in the court.

However, Qin State did not reply to Chu State immediately, but acted as if he had not received it, so he should do what he should do. Mr. Changping was interrupted several times when he mentioned it at the court meeting.

Qin State didn't reply, but Chu State was very anxious. The King of Chu would ask Qin State's envoy every day if he came.

Someone took the opportunity to say to the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, why not consider moving the capital? With the pace of the Qin army, after defeating Shangcai all the way to the east, you will be in Juyang. You are in danger! It is better to follow the example of King Xiang and King Lie and move the capital to another place, and at the same time Then urge Qin Guo to wait slowly."

Qin moved to the east all the time because it intended to move to the east, and Chu moved its capital several times to avoid disasters.Such a proposal would definitely not be adopted in Qin State, but it was normal in Chu State. At most, they felt a little ashamed and changed the name of Xindu to Ying, as if they were still in Yingdu.

The king of Chu really started to think about it. With the attack of Qin and Wei, Juyang is almost at the gate of the country. In fact, moving the capital is a matter of time, and his grandfather and father have moved the capital for this. You can't go wrong doing that too.

The matter of moving the capital was brought up for discussion at the court meeting, and Chu Chen really accepted it well. Even if he objected, he just felt that it was not the time to move the capital.

Then there is further discussion about where to move.

It is impossible to move back to Ying, because it has long been occupied by the state of Qin, and there are Qin troops on the top of Chendu in the north, and there are 30 Qin troops in the west, which are not considered.

The rest is to move east and south.

Because the east side is the lair of Lord Chunshen some time ago, fearing that there will be remnants of evil, all the officials agreed that they should move to the south.

After considering several cities, they decided to move their capital to Shouchun.

"Okay!" Ye Yu said happily after receiving the news that Chu State was planning to move the capital.The spy's speed is really faster than he imagined, no wonder Qin's various dissension can play so smoothly.

The other generals also had smiles on their faces, "Bring this news to Shangcai, even if Xiang Yan is there, the army will be in a mess."

Ye Yu nodded, and immediately ordered someone to do it.

"So, the next time Xiang Yan tries to break through, it's time for us to encircle and suppress."

It's not that Xiang Yan has never broken through the siege in the past few days, but they all failed. Who made Shangcai blocked and there was only one gate left to get out.The moat, the moat, should now be renamed the Siege River.

"No, continue to siege the city," Ye Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The good show is yet to come."
