After the autumn rain, Fangcheng was as warm as Nanzheng. On that day, Ying army passed through Xianghe Pass and went north and chased to Fenxing Pass again. The Qin army fled in panic, leaving behind the baggage, strong soldiers, and food on the way. Then he took the lead and entered Fenxing Pass and rushed north.

If an army is determined to escape and the road is smooth, it will never be able to catch up. The Qin army is one step faster than Ying's army and flee to the rear one day. Ying's army cannot chase it and can only stop at the Fenxing Pass.

Fenxing Pass was originally the pass of Chu, but it was during the period of the most powerful King Wei of Chu and the early days of King Huai. The generals who were injected with chicken blood repeatedly asked for the removal of Fenxing Pass. Xiong Jing smiled and said nothing. The troops outside the Fenxing Pass were stationed one day, and the next day, the Chu army sang Kaige back to the military city.

At this time, the news of the Ying army killing Li Xin and defeating the Qin army had spread all over the world. Those envoys who came to Yingdu, Chu State, changed their worries after hearing the news, did not go to Yingdu, but turned directly to Fangcheng, and welcomed Xiong Jing, who had returned in triumphant manner at the entrance of Fangcheng.

Everyone was praised and congratulated by the soldiers of the Chu army for fighting to the death and returning to the country in triumphant times. This was the pursuit of the soldiers of the Chu army. Outside the city, the envoys and strong soldiers, nearly 10,000 common people went out to greet them. Xiong Jing was still half inside and outside, and they had already bowed their heads.

When Xiong Jing walked in, first the ministers and envoys shouted: "I am congratulating the king for defeating the Qin people again!" Then nearly ten thousand people cheered: "Long live the king! Long live..."

The sound of long live is naturally not as good as the soldiers' shouts on the battlefield. Xiong Jing always sounds less masculinity and more flattering. However, this cheer made him unstoppable and also made the soldiers of Yingshi happy.

Holding back the smile, Xiong Jing looked at the ministers who were greeting him in the crowd. Zhao Shu was there, Shi Zhi was there, and Lu Yang of the Grand Sima Mansion was here, so don’t let me be there. Beside them were envoys from various countries, Zhao Heng, the prime minister of the Zhao State, Pingyang, Wei Jianyou, Xinling, Wei Jianyou, Jimo, Qi State, Tian He, Han Jin. Next to them were merchants led by Bai Yi, Yi, Kong, Xian, Shi, Guo, Duan... The people of the monks knelt beside Bai Yi and bowed to him.

Most people smiled, but Lu Yang Jun and Wu Zhui me. One was obviously smiling, with a stiff smile and a faint look; the other had a gloomy face, with two thick eyebrows connected together, and it almost turned into one eyebrow. Xiong Jing knew not to let me go. Whenever his two eyebrows turned into one, something bad happened.

Amid the grand congratulations and cheers, the pace of the soldiers of the Ying army became more agile, and the military boots stepped neatly on the hard mud, shaking waves of smoke-like dust. As they entered the city of Zhuan and settled in Fangcheng, the crowds greeted the suburbs gradually dissipated.

"I have seen the king!" Xiong Jing did not summon Zhaoshu, Shi Gui and envoys from various countries, but summoned the Lord of Luyang and let me give it to me first. It was not surprising that they were seen first. The king was always pragmatic and not meticulous. National affairs and military affairs were the priority.

"What's the matter?" Xiong Jing asked as soon as he opened his mouth, staring at the two of them.

"My dear..." The two looked at each other, and the Lord of Luyang said first. "The Battle of Nanzheng, alas..." He sighed and said, "It's defeated!"

"Defeated?" Xiong Jingxin suddenly sank, and the original joy disappeared without a trace. The newly built large-winged gunboat of the founding palace advanced westward to Nanzheng for this decisive battle. Unexpectedly, he was defeated. Could it be that the Chu State was destroyed in the hands of the Qin army's boat division?

"In the war, the Qin people retreated into the Daze. Zuo Ao followed it. The two armies formed a formation on the marsh. There were more than 450 Qin warships, and our army only had more than 280. However, the Qin warships formed a dense formation, and after the impact, they hooked up our warships with a hook sickle..."

The Lord of Luyang came from Xiangyang and reported a long news report to the Grand Sima Mansion after the Zhou army retreated to Nanzheng. The news report not only described the battle process in detail, but also counted the losses of the Chu and Yue armies. More than 280 warships, but in the end, only 116 retreated from Daze and returned to Nanzheng. Chengfeng's Right Army was wiped out, and more than half of the Fifth Division of the Zhu clan and Yue army were killed. The only one who escaped was the Right Army led by Xiang Chao and the Big-wing gunboats led by Bu Liangju. In addition, the flagship that Zuo Kai was riding was also sunk, and no one knew Zuo Kai and Jing Gui's news.

Xiong Jing was just not happy before, but now his whole body was cold, and the air conditioner rushed up from his back, making him dizzy. More than 280 warships sank more than 160 warships, more than 40,000 soldiers died in battle, and only 30,000 survived!

What's even more fatal is that our side cannot block Yuguan, and the loss of Yuguan Bashu will inevitably be inevitable. However, when Qin State obtained Bashu, the six divisions and one brigade retreated to Qiang land may never be able to return to Chu State.

"Only abandon Nanzheng!" Xiong Jing tried his best to restrain his mind and keep calm.

The idea of ​​abandoning Nanzheng was not Xiong Jing alone. After receiving the news from Nanzheng, the first suggestion of the Operations Department was to abandon Nanzheng.

Abandoned Nanzheng, Shangyu, Fangcheng, and retreated to Fanxiang. The front line contracted, and the dilemma of severe lack of troops in the Chu army was alleviated to a certain extent. Jianguan—Xiangyang—Shangcai—Daliang—Taoyi—Muling Pass, such a simple line of defense could barely be maintained.

However, a strategic retreat will bring severe shock to the State of Chu. Some of the honorary soldiers who were granted the title of the emperor will be forced to give up their fiefs and tribes. How should their subjects deal with it? If all moved south, millions of people would spend huge expenses, and the ability to receive Jiangdong is also very limited. Even if there is the valley of Dongzhou, limited fields may not be able to support so many people.

Another concern comes from the report of the Knowing the Master. Xiong Jingqi guarded Nanzheng and asked the Lord of Luyang to remain silent, so he said again: "Report to the King: King Qin dismantled the palaces of Zhangtai Palace, Qutai Palace, Ji Palace and other palaces to build warships..."

"The Qin people also demolished the palace!" Xiong Jing said in surprise.

"Of course." Don't let me nod deeply, "The Qin people's boat farms are going to rest day and night, and there are more than hundreds of warships every month."

After Xianyang was burned down, Guanzhong continued to log in order to rebuild the 80-mile city of Xianyang. This is also the reason why the Qin army was unable to judge the amount of logging in the Qin army. For several years, more than 100,000 subordinate ministers of the Qin State have been logging and never stopped.

When Afang comes out, Shushan is left. After Afang Palace is built, the mountains and forests in Shu are also left. Although the poet has exaggerated it, it may not be without historical facts. According to the statistics of the boat building site, it takes more than 630 large stamps to build a sea boat, while building a winged warship requires fifty-five large stamps to build a eleven warships. The wood of eleven warships is equal to a naval battleship.

If the Qin State launched 300 warships in one month, 300 warships would be twenty-seven sea boats. This is only one month, but a year would be three hundred and twenty-seven sea boats, which would require 200,000 large seals. The consumption of large seals is so huge that the forests of the Qinling Mountains, Hengduan Mountains and Liupan Mountains alone are naturally not enough.

The Qin people had shortage of wood to build warships, so they could only remove the wood of the palaces to build boats. Xiong Jing was not unfamiliar with this approach, but when he thought of the size of the Qin palaces and the huge palaces in the north and south of Xianyang, he seemed to see countless five-altitude warships rushing towards him like a tide.

He let out a heavy sigh. The Lord of Luyang was not worried about whether Nan Zheng would abandon his guard. He said, "The prefect thought that our army should build warships quickly, otherwise the Qin people would attack me with warships and our army would be defeated."

"What's the use of building warships?" Xiong Jing heard him say that the 'the prefect thought' was not 'Li and thought'. "No matter how many warships there are, are there soldiers? No matter how many warships there are, are there artillery? Even if all the artillery of the Lingshi is carried onto the warships, there are only two or three hundred warships. You said that the big-wing gunboat can only break the boat but not sink the boat, so what's the use of the big-wing gunboat?"

"My dear..." The King of Luyang was speechless for a moment. The Qin army defeated the Chu army, causing a large number of casualties, and there were almost no soldiers to fight in the country. This was the fatal problem faced by Chu. The Chu military system was different from the Qin State. The Chu territory had not even implemented the materials and could not collect new soldiers in a short time. It was also unable to use and utilize all resources effectively, and was dragged down by the newly reclaimed area.

"I think that the old Yingfang City should follow the Qin rules. If not, the new land will not require soldiers, and our army will not be able to fight." Don't let me see the biggest problem of the Chu State at the moment. The biggest problem is that the military power cannot be supplemented, and the biggest reason why it cannot be effectively supplemented is that the Chu law is not suitable for Qin.

"Good!" Xiong Jing immediately turned around and stared at Wu Bi, and asked loudly, "How to do it?!"

"I think that one should recruit officials more. If there are no Qin officials in Qin, the Qin rules will not work. In other words, the Qin rules are all in Qin officials. Without Qin officials, there will be no Qin today. Now my food and fodder is not collected, the soldiers do not fight, and taxes are not collected, all because there are no officials in Chu."

Xiong Jing's expression was calm and he didn't let me talk. He seemed to have endless anger under his expression. Don't let me give it aside. He plucked up his courage and continued, "Second, you should destroy your son's and mother's money. The Qi soldiers can fight under Wang Jian's command, but they can't fight under the Qi people. What's the reason? It's because the Qin people have destroyed their son's and mother's money. The Qi army still has 100,000 yuan. If they can do all the money they have to destroy their son's and mother's money, the Qi people can fight!

My advice is only for the king and for the state of Chu. Please think twice!”

Don't let me talk about it in the end and become more enthusiastic. When I said, "Please think twice," his eyes suddenly became wet and I couldn't help but shed tears. As the Si Yin, who knows the enemy, he fully knew the current situation. His mother country was in danger. If we cannot make a surprise move at this time, the mother country would die.

After he said that, there was a silence in the Mingtang. Xiong Jing and Luyang Jun did not speak. After a long time, Xiong Jing sighed heavily, suppressed his anger and asked Luyang Jun an extreme metaphor: "I have a great hunger, don't you have food, do you eat shit?"

"My name..." Lu Yang Jun instantly understood what Xiong Jing meant. Without thinking, he shook his head and said, "I will not eat."

"If you don't eat, you will starve to death. What if you do?" Xiong Jing asked again, but this time he was not asking about Luyang Jun, but asking himself.

"I don't eat it." Lu Yang Jun endured it for a few years, but when he thought about whether he was eating shit, he shook his head and said, "I would rather die than eat shit."

Xiong Jing and Luyang Jun asked and answered each other. Of course I knew what the metaphor was. He was crying and thought that the situation was so irreversible, and his mother country would eventually be destroyed by the Qin people. He could no longer help but burst into tears. His crying also made Xiong Jing and Luyang Jun feel sad. Xiong Jing comforted him and said, "Since you are a noble person, you can do noble person's affairs, how can you change it suddenly?"

"If you don't change, the State of Chu will perish!" Don't let me shout, my face covered with tears.
