The bow and arrows are guarding, the spears are guarding, and the spears are assisting. There must be a cooperation between weapons and weapons. Although Xiong Yuan has not directly led the army to fight, he has read the military books. He has learned a lot more about war and tactics than Xiong Jing. In his opinion, at this time, his son should still read more military books, rather than discussing the military game here. However, Xiong Yuan was asked by Ling Yin and Naojiu: It's nothing, the Qin army is going to attack Chu.

"I would like to thank the king: Chengyang urgently reported that the Qin army was about to come out of Biyang to attack me." Chengyang's urgent report reached the Grand Sima Mansion, and Naojiu immediately came to report. "It means that to the west of the canyon, there are military chariots and military flags covering the sun."

"I have something to tell the king," Xiong Yuan had not yet come back to his senses from the news of the Qin army's attack on Chu. Huang Xie here also told him: "Last month, the King of Wei saw my envoy and joined me, although he did not refuse it, the Qin merchants had transported countless grains and fodders into Daoyi a few days ago. Daoyi is a border area of ​​the three kingdoms. The Qin people transported grains and fodders here, and they were afraid that they would be the military food of the Qin army."

"Wei Kingdom," Xiong Yuan's face suddenly turned purple. He choked for a moment, unable to say: "Why is the King of Wei here?"

"King!" Chang Jiang was shocked when he saw Xiong Yuan's change in color. He blamed Huang Xie and Naojiu, "The king does not know about military affairs, and the king does not know about military affairs." As he said that, he supported Xiong Yuan, he wanted someone to drive Huang Xie and Naojiu out.

Chang Jiang was shocked, Huang Xie and Naojiu were also panicked. The doctor had told him before that the king should not be shocked. The news he reported himself, especially Huang Xie's Wei and Qin collusion, and the fake way to transport grain for the Qin army, was too horrible.

"I am guilty of death! I am guilty of death!" The two of them bowed their heads and were about to retreat.

"Two lords... please get up." Xiong Yuan felt his heart blunt and his body was weak, so he was about to fall down. Fortunately, he closed his eyes and calmed down again. The purple color on his face disappeared, and replaced by gray and black. "The Qin army attacked me, and the Wei State fake road to transport food for him, what if?"

Although Xiong Yuan spoke, Huang Xie and Naojiu did not dare to answer, for fear that the king would feel sick again.

"Zi Xie, what do you think today should be done?" Xiong Yuan had to ask a question by name.

"I... think that I should send another envoy to Wei to bribe his noble and important officials with huge gold, and ask him not to allow Qin grain to enter the country." Huang Xie spoke with huge gold, but fortunately Xiong Yuan's expression had not changed.

"Wei State was forced to grant Qin a false road due to the power of Qin. How can we allow me not to allow Qin grain to enter the country?" Wei State was no longer a powerful country very early and very early. Such a country dared to collude with Qin to plot against itself, and ordered Yin to bribe him with huge sums of money, which was unhappy.

"Wei State can not only allow Qin to use food, but also use weapons." Huang Xie was also a little angry. "Jiu asked for bribes to Wei, so he asked Wei State to refuse Qin's troops to transport troops. All the waters in Wei are connected to our country. If he allows Qin to use weapons, it will be a disaster for me."

"No!" Xiong Yuan agreed calmly. He knew exactly the harm of Wei's reversal to Qin.

"I also asked the king to send another envoy to Zhao with ten thousand golds, but not others, but only Guo Kai..." Huang Xie said again. "Xianyang also needs lobbyists. This battle started with Lu Buwei's advice, and it should be discussed by the King of Qin."

"Wanjin?!" Naojiu's eyes widened, and when he looked at Huang Xie, he was not angry, but stupid.

"No." Xiong Yuan's beard shook. He was also surprised by Huang Xie's big moves, and he also agreed with the plan to remove the firewood from the cauldron. It's worth ten thousand gold.

"City Yang is very heavy. I want the king to go to Cheng Yang. What do you think?" Xiong Yuan asked again after enduring the pain of losing gold.

"The king's soldiers are the best at going to Chengyang, but I still want to ask the king to take Xiang Yan as the general." Huang Xie emphasized.

"King, please go to Chengyang to fight Qin." Naojiu said rushingly. When he came, he wanted to lead the king's soldiers to help Chengyang.

"The king's heart has not been cured, and the war is complicated. If the Grand Sima goes to Chengyang, who will take charge of the plan?" Huang Xie asked back.

"I took Xiang Yan as a general, gave him an axe and a general, and the king's soldiers were also under his command." Shen Yin-Ying, Zi Mo and others failed to resist Qin's diplomacy, and Xiong Yuan had to regard Huang Xie as his support and obeyed his advice.

After the plan was completed, the two of them retreated, and Xiong Yuan stared at the distance in a daze. What he thought was: Even if he abdicated at this time, Jing'er could not ascend the throne. The Qin army had already fought. He originally hoped that his son could change calmly after he ascended the throne and made Chu stronger, but he didn't expect that the Qin people would attack and Wei assisted him in the future. How could the Chu State be so chaotic in the future?

*

The September sunshine is sprinkling in the mountains and forests. Perhaps it is already afternoon. It no longer has the heat of July and August. It only feels warm when it is sung on people. The birds sing in the mountains. Gradually, the leaves turn yellow, and there is a tree growing strangely in the broad-leaved forest. Other trees are breeze, and their limbs are swaying, and their leaves are rushing. However, this tree is swaying even when there is wind, and there is no wind, and it is posing in various postures, as if it has become a spirit.

At this time, the tree spirit was swaying again, like the branches of his arms rising and falling, posing incomprehensible postures. On the top of the mountain more than ten miles away, a pair of eyes stared at these postures from Lu Lijing and recited numbers. After that, someone rushed down the top of the mountain like a kite and went deeper into the forest.

"Report to the general, the news comes from the city sun." In the dense forest, a large army was lying on the ground. Xiang Yan's tent stood in the open space in the woods. Although it was wide, it seemed a little dim. The soldiers who were patrolling outside the tent waited on the ground and reported loudly.

"Yes." Xiang Yan sat in the tent without a helmet, with his sword lying on his knees, and was rubbing his sword. In addition to him, the person sitting in the lower left was Pan Wuming, the general of the Cai County Division, and Cheng Tong, the general of the Xi County Division, with the right hand was Peng Zong, the army Sima, and Xiang County Division, and Xiang County Division. Below four people, there were several army leaders of the three counties and county divisions. The accompanying military officers, the humeral wings, were either in the marquis of this tent, or were busy in his tent. At this time, the army had left Chengyang overnight and entered the mountains and forests at the junction of Chu and Qin, and marched in the forest, which was very secretive.

"The king has a decree: to use the general as the general, give him an axe and appoint him to the general..." The news from Yingdu inspired everyone, but there was more than this one, "The king's soldiers set off to Chengyang and returned to the general's command."

"Is there still life?" Xiang Yan was still rubbing the sword and was not happy. Everyone knew that it would take more than twenty days before the king could rush to Chengyang. At that time, the Qin army had already flooded Chengyang.

"No." The messenger handed over the declassified news to the adviser in the military tent who was specifically responsible for intelligence archiving, waiting for Xiang Yan to reply.

"Tell the king, Grand Sima: Yan has left Chengyang to fight Qin, and the general cannot accept it." Xiang Yan sent the messenger.

"General, the last general thinks..." After the messenger left, Cheng Tong bowed to Xixian County and his county division, he had something to say.

"Zi Tong thought that the Qin army would attack me from Biyang? Our army should turn to Tianmu Mountain to wait for the enemy?" Xiang Yan smiled undeniably and returned to the sword. The Tianmu Mountain he mentioned was a mountain on the east side of the canyon between Chu and Qin Biyang. The Qin army invaded the territory from Biyang and must pass by the foot of this mountain.

"That's right." Chengtong was the Ruoao family after Ruoao. Although Ruoao was in power during the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, his descendants had already gone deep into various parts of Chu. "Our army scouts had seen the Qin army's front division and outside the valley, and the imperial court also told Wei that the Qin people were allowed to use Dao to transport grain in Daoyi, and the Qin army must have taken the Magu Road."

There are pros and cons of Feixun: the advantage is that the message is transmitted very quickly. Even if you leave the city, as long as you are not too far away, you can hold a message pole to send and receive messages; the disadvantage is that you accept too much information, which makes people feel overwhelmed.

"The general's concern: Jiyi is a familiar land for Qin, and the way for business travelers to move forward is easy to move. The Qin army entered the country from here and it was easy to get along with the current situation." The judgement of the chief general was not in harmony with the current situation, and the army Sima Peng Zong had to speak and mix.

"If the Qin army violated me by Yang," Peng Zong took up three plans. "First, there is no track on this road, and heavy chariots are difficult to drive." He put down the first plan; "Second, if the Qin army violated me, he would go to Chengyang. However, if the Qin army attacked me, he would go to Chengyang. However, the Biyang was more than 200 miles away from Chengyang, so he should not quickly reach the city of Chengyang." He put down the second plan; "Third, if the Chengyang does not go down, it will be useless for the war. Since Lu Buwei wanted to provoke the war, he should quickly let the Qin army pull the city; if he did not pull out, the chaos in Qin was still there, and Lao Ai was not killed, and the Qin King might order the Qin army to return to the country."

After Peng Zong finished speaking, he planned to settle the case. He smiled and said, "In this way, the Qin army must come from Jiyi, and our army should go to Jiyi."

"What if the Qin army did not come from Jiyi?" Cheng Tong was speechless by Peng Zong, and finally said this sentence came out.

"I will surrender my sword to apologize." Xiang Yan answered, and the atmosphere in the military tent became tight. Xiang Zhi said anxiously: "Brother, no!"

"If the Qin army did not come from Jiyi, I would have to bow my sword to apologize." Xiang Yan ignored Xiang Zhi, repeated the words just now, and used his life as a bet. "Zi Tong, I have no life, is that okay?"

"The general is too worried. As long as the last general can kill the Qin people, there is nothing to do!" Pan Wuming is a powerful general. The main general will fight wherever he says he will fight. He is not as thoughtful as Cheng Tong, nor is he as careless as Chen Gai.

"..." Cheng Tong sighed and said, "If Chengyang is lost, Xixian will be the brunt of it. The last general is not sure if it is possible, I just hope that the general will be right."

In the late Warring States Period, the private soldiers who fought with the army were basically invisible. Some were county divisions and county divisions of each county. The troops came from this county, the grain came from this county, and the chariots, horses and weapons came from this county... Such an army was not so much the Chu army, but rather the county division coalition of Chu. Its fighting spirit and morale were completely incomparable to the Qin and Zhao troops, so that Lian Po, who was dug up by Huang Xie as a treasure, sighed loudly for the Chu general: "I want to use the Zhao people."

The Lord General had a destiny, but the generals refused to listen. Even if the Lord General bets his life and bets himself, his subordinates still had concerns. Xiang Yan did not mind this. The tradition of overthrowing the army and killing generals has been in the State of Chu for a long time. He knew the underlying logic: he hurriedly took away the sons of the Chinese people and the husbands of the Chinese people. When he came back, he had no achievements and no bones left. The generals would naturally be guilty.

The Qin army attacked and attacked Jiyi without defending Chengyang. It was fine. If it was wrong, not only would Chengyang be lost, but the entire army might also be destroyed. He must have to commit suicide by burying his sword, but Cheng Tong, who led Xi County, was also guilty: the nine thousand Xi County children were all damaged, and the Qin army took Chengyang and the troops were in Xi County. How could he, the Sima of his county, survive?
