Chapter 705 ? ?
Di Qing received an order and immediately led the army to the south from Xinye.
The army that Zhuyang also headed south to Xiangyang.
Soon, the 40,000 army of the Zhuque Group Army, the Forward Infantry Guard, the Back Infantry Guard, and the Back Cavalry Guard had a total of 55,000 troops set up camp under the city of Xiangyang.
This is the first time that an enemy has really attacked here in Xiangyang City!
And set up camp under the city.
The 50,000 army is not boundless.
But there are also continuous groups, and the camps established are also endless.
Xiang Yan's pressure is increasing day by day.
Although there were 200,000 soldiers in the city, he had no confidence in defending the city.
"The capital can send new orders!" Xiang Yantou asked his confidant without replying.
The confidant in charge of documents and other documents, and replied simply: "General, no, the capital has not sent any new orders yet.
However, support from all parties is coming, and there are expected to be 50,000 troops to support them, and experts are also coming. Even if our city will be broken, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not want to capture our Xiangyang City."
As soon as his confidant finished his words, a general led the city and said, "General, people from the capital have come. Lord Zhaohong has arrived in person!"
"Zhaohong!"
This is a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites.
The most important foreign minister of Chu and Yue State.
Last time I just sent Zhao Xiang.
This time Zhaohong was sent here.
It can be seen that Jiangling City also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Xiang Yan got off the city and returned to the General's Mansion in Zhenxi.
Zhaohong was waiting for him in the hall.
"See General!"
Xiang Yan said: "Mr. Zhao doesn't have to be too polite. Let's talk about the purpose of this. What can I cooperate and assist with?"
"General Gao Yi!" Zhao Hong didn't expect Xiang Yan to be so sensible, so he said:
"General, the court made a decision based on the classics that it would mobilize more troops to Xiangyang, and at the same time, it would not change its commander. General Jing Hong was still in charge of Nanyang, restraining Ye Qing and providing partial cover for Xiangyang."
"Also, I sent people to South Korea to ask South Korea to send troops south.
And I will go to negotiate with Di Qing in person, and the two countries can reconcile."
"Common explanation, what is this? Can Lord Zhao explain it more clearly!" Xiang Yan asked.
Zhao Hong sighed long and said, "If necessary, I would rather give half of Nanyang to the Great Zhou than let it conquer Xiangyang. Once Xiangyang loses, we will be more passive and will lose more."
this……
Xiang Yan's spirit was mostly removed.
It's really time to have a peace talk.
In order to protect Xiangyang, the empire was willing to accept losing half of Nanyang and end the war with the Great Zhou.
"General, can you give you an accurate statement? Can Xiangyang defend it? If you have confidence here, I will have room for improvement." Zhao Hong asked in Xiang Yan's eyes.
Unfortunately, he didn't see a firm look.
Xiang Yan's expression was a little strange.
The eyes were a little confused.
"General, if the 300,000 combat soldiers are increasing, three sixth-level masters, four fifth-level, ten fourth-level, twenty third-level, fifty second-level, and one hundred first-level, they may be defended!" Zhaohong continued to ask.
Every time a data is reported, Xiang Yan is stimulated.
There are 300,000 soldiers and so many masters.
Can you protect Xiangyang?
This power is difficult to get out in the whole world.
But Chu and Yue can be easily done.
This is the foundation of Chu Yue Kingdom.
In the battle of national destiny, we have to do our best.
"Please report to Your Majesty that unless I die in Xiangyang in battle, the soldiers of the Great Zhou will not want to come in." Xiang Yan clasped his fists in the south and replied vigorously.
After hearing this, Zhaohong nodded slightly relievedly.
If so much power is given, the soldiers here in Xiangyang will not have the confidence to defend the city.
Then Chu Yue Kingdom was really in danger.
He really didn't have any confidence when he came to negotiate this time.
After parting with Xiang Yan, Zhaohong left the city and first came to the military camp of the Great Zhou.
"Zhao Hong, the envoy of Chu Yue Kingdom!" Di Qing touched his chin and said, "This person seems to have been to Chang'an, my Great Zhou, and he has frequently contacted South Korea. Let him come in!"
Zhaohong was soon taken to the big tent.
"Zhao Hong, the envoy of Chu Yue Kingdom, met with General Di of the Zhuque Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Zhao Hong came in and treated him with a bow.
Di Qing raised his hand and said, "Please sit down by Lord Zhao!"
"Thank you, Marshal!" Zhao Hong walked to the right and sat down.
"I wonder what the hell is there to do when Lord Zhao enters my camp at this moment?" Di Qing asked directly.
He didn't have time to play a puzzle with the people of Chu Yue.
The siege is still being prepared, and he still needs to check it out.
Once all aspects are prepared, they can open a battle and knock out the portal of the capital of Chuyue Kingdom.
"To be honest with the general, Hong is here to persuade the general to stop the army." Zhao Hong bowed and said:
"General, I don't think the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to continue fighting with Chu Yue State."
"Stop the army!" Di Qing laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said:
"Why should we stop the army? My soldiers of the Great Zhou are now full of morale and have high fighting spirit. We will conquer Xiangyang tomorrow. Why should we stop the army?"
"The general is a little impatient to say this. My Xiangyang City is strong, with 500,000 guards, five sixth-grade masters, more than 200 warriors above the first rank, and the military and civilians are united and united as one.
Not to mention one day, even if you fight the general for a hundred days, you can't conquer it!" Zhao Hong stood up and continued:
"Besides, there are still one million troops in Chuyue Kingdom on the way, and more than a dozen sixth-grade masters are also coming. The general should consider the safety of the Suzaku Group Army, rather than blindly siege the city!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone, including Di Qing, burst into laughter.
This is the funniest joke they have ever heard.
Liu Bowen shook the folding fan and smiled: "Mr. Zhaohong is worthy of being the most knowledgeable person in Chu Yue Kingdom. Can he fool South Korea into alliance with you and secretly attack my Great Zhou!"
"As far as I know, the Chu Yue Kingdom now has no soldiers to be transferred. Among the 200,000 troops in Xiangyang City, only 100,000 are old soldiers, 50,000 are new soldiers, and 50,000 are new soldiers, and 50,000 have not even been on the battlefield. If you recruit temporarily, your weapons may not be able to be secure."
"As for the city, the army of Chu Yue Kingdom was in a state of chaos and the people were in a state of panic. All the cities and places of Chu Yue Kingdom were frightened, and the people fled in large numbers. This is what Lord Zhao Hong said about unity, and it is a joke!"
Zhao Hong's face turned red and he was so angry that he had nothing to say.
It also shocked him.
Chilling is direct current.
The Great Zhou knew everything about their Chu Yue Kingdom.
This is scary.
However, Zhao Hong was still tough and showed the face of a professional diplomat.
"Can you ask, sir?"
"Liu Ji!" Liu Bowen replied lightly.
Then sat down.
No matter what Chu Yue said it was.
This time, Xiangyang will also be captured.
I want to negotiate, and we will be discussing when we conquer Xiangyang.
Negotiations now are just a technique of delay.
"It turned out to be Liu Junshi, Liu Junshi. He is so confident that he insists on conquering Xiangyang City of Chuyue Kingdom." Zhao Hong said:
"Mr. Liu must understand that now our two countries still have the basis for peace talks. Stopping the army at this time will be the most beneficial to your Great Zhou.
If the war drags on for a long time, with the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will drag it down in a few months, while the Chu Yue Kingdom will only lose half a year of food and grass, and the treasury is still full, and the national strength will still be strong."
