Outside Shouchun City, the Qin army camp.

The day's siege had just ended. Under the bloody setting sun, countless Qin soldiers retreated from the battlefield and silently returned to their own military camp.

This is the 16th day after the Qin army besieged Shouchun, and there is still no sign of Shouchun City being conquered.

Bai Qi sat in the commander's tent. In front of him was not a group of Qin generals, but a group of Chu officials, or representatives of various local families of Chu.

When facing Bai Qi, these Chu officials were somewhat restrained.

The two battles of Fangcheng, the battle of Yanying, and the Battle of Anfeng, which had just led to the annihilation of Jingyang's entire army, had no less than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in the Chu State who died in Bai Qi's hands!

Considering that the capital of Chu State Shouchun City is now surrounded by Bai Qi, the Chu officials present really didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering the Qin Dynasty's killing god.

Bai Qi looked around the officials of Chu State present and said in a calm tone: "You can sit here today, which shows your support for the Qin Dynasty and Jingyang Order Yin. Then you are the Qin Dynasty's own people, so there is no need to be nervous."

When Bai Qi said this, everyone present breathed some relief.

Everyone was really worried before coming. If it weren't for the fact that Chu State was about to be beaten up by Bai Qi, even Jing Yang had surrendered to the Qin people, to be honest, Bai Qi, the reputation of the nemesis of Chu State, was the god of killing the god, and more people who chose to resist to the end might have been more than those who surrendered.

Bai Qi glanced at Jingyang. Jingyang has now "reincarnated his post" and has once again become the chief magistrate of Chu who was recognized by Qin.

Jing Yang understood and immediately stood up, walked to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The current situation does not need to be said by this marquis. Everyone must understand it. Zhao Qi poisoned the former king, killed many ministers of the Great Chu in Shouchun City, and even established another fake king on his own, and gave the former king a posthumous title of "spirit". It is really unbearable!"

"As a minister of the Great Chu, I also know that the Zhaoqi rebels are so powerful that it is not easy to eliminate them, so I specially asked the King of Qin for help. The King of Qin was grateful for the friendship between Qin and Chu for many years, so I specially sent General Bai Qi to lead the army to kill Zhaoqi rebels. As ministers of the Great Chu, are you willing to follow General Bai Qi and me to uphold justice and give the Great Chu a bright world?"

After Jing Yang's words came to an end, although the Chu officials present were mentally prepared, they still looked strange.

Everyone is not a fool. Not to mention that Qin is just taking advantage of the situation, just say that there is no reason why the reinforcements are completely wiped out by reinforcements in this world?

However, the truth of the matter is in the hearts of the people. Everyone came here to seek a way out, not to find the truth. Therefore, the next moment, Jing Yang's words were immediately echoed by everyone.

"What the emperor said is very true. Zhao Qi's thief acted against the enemy and joined forces to dismember the five horses!"

"We gather here today to attack Shouchun under the banner of the Great Qin and Lingyin and eliminate Zhaoqi's rebel thieves!"

"Yes, even though General Bai Qi and Ling Yin issued the order, we all obeyed."

...

For a moment, the tent was filled with words of loyalty and curses at Zhaoqi.

Bai Qi suddenly raised his hand and made a downward gesture, and the entire tent suddenly became silent.

Bai Qi said slowly: "You must have heard some rumors, saying that the Great Qin is trying to destroy the State of Chu. This general wants to represent my king solemnly declare that Qin and Chu are a country of friendship for many years. The friendship between Qin and Chu has long been passed down for the world. In the future, the Great Qin and Chu will work together to fight the invasion of Zhao. You will also have a huge stage to display in the State of Chu in the future. I hope you can unite under the banner of the new king of Chu and the Jingyang Order of the State of Jingyang to make greater contributions to the friendship between Qin and Chu!"

As Bai Qi finished speaking, a cheer like a tide suddenly rang out.

After a while, many representatives of Chu State dispersed, and only Jingyang and Bai Qi stayed.

Bai Qi's face was calm and he asked lightly: "How many soldiers have these people brought?"

Jing Yang said: "Not much, it's only 30,000 in total... But please rest assured, General, we have conveyed enough sincerity this time. In the future, if Qin and Chu join forces to fight against Zhao, it will be no problem for Chu to send 80,000 troops!"

Bai Qi looked at Jingyang with a smile and said, "Why, the Central Committee of the State of Chu can't bring out 80,000 troops now, but can these local families come out?"

Jing Yang's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The State of Chu was the only country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period that still maintained a strong feudal character rather than going to centralization. Local families collected taxes on their own and raised private soldiers and soldiers, which was very common for the central government to lack military resources and tax revenue. This is also a deep-seated reason why the State of Chu fell to its current level despite its large land and large population.

Bai Qi did not let Jingyang go, but continued, "Jingyang Order Yin, I will not hide it from you. The news I just received today is that Xinzheng has been conquered by Lian Po of Zhao. Lian Po has led his army south to attack the defense line of our Daqin Fangcheng. In addition, the King of Zhao has also mobilized troops in Handan to prepare to go south to Shouchun. If the people of Zhao really come here, I, Bai Qi, will definitely die without a burial place, and you, Jing Yang, are afraid that you will have no hope of revenge."

Jingyang was shocked and said in a deep voice for a while: "The General's meaning Jingyang understood that many members of the family had actually served in Shouchun City. As long as they were willing to cooperate inside and outside, it would not be difficult to conquer Shouchun. Jingyang would like to talk to them now and try to give the General a result as soon as possible."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and said the last four words of the conversation.

“The faster the better.”

Night has fallen.

The lights in the royal palace of Chu were sparse and quiet. If you walked on the corridor, you could only hear the echoes of your own footsteps, which was quite insidious.

The only place is the exception, that is the King of Chu's bedroom.

At this moment, the bedroom was brightly lit, and countless dancers were dancing gracefully. A man hugged a few women who were dressed in disheveled clothes and teased loudly, making some intimate moves from time to time.

But the one sitting in the main seat was not the new King of Chu who ascended the throne in Shouchun City a few days ago, but the King of Chu State Zhaoqi.

The real King of Chu has now been placed under house arrest in a small room behind the bedroom, and even his freedom has been lost.

While drinking, Zhaoqi laughed unscrupulously and said some unpleasant words. Several women who were hugged by him looked panic and ashamed, but they could only accept it.

These women are the concubines and ladies who were left by the previous generation of King Chu after the death of the previous generation, and are now occupied by Zhao Qi without hesitation.

Suddenly, a wife was too frightened when she toasted Zhao Qi and accidentally knocked over the wine glass and spilled Zhao Qi all over.

The entire hall, which was very lively just now, suddenly became quiet.

Zhaoqi sighed, stood up, reached out to hold the lady's thin white and tender chin, and looked at the other person who was panicked like a little rabbit.

"Why are you so beautiful, how can you do things like a fool? Come on, drag it down and be a prostitute. Immediately, immediately, now, now!"

Amid the woman's extremely frightened screams and begging for mercy, several wolves and tigers dragged the woman away directly.

Zhao Qi sneered a few times, and suddenly grabbed his wet clothes, pulled them to pieces and threw them to the ground, then roared.
Chapter completed!
