Chapter 1382: Han Qi World (72) Find a way out
As soon as the deputy general said this, everyone understood the story. Not only was he sad, but he was also confused. Where should this army go? Back to the south, the Chu army had already arrived and was sweeping across the southern part of Qin. Zhou Yu left behind the veteran general Tan Wei, who was struggling and struggling, and must be no match. Xianyang is now in Lu Chao's hands. Nearly 100,000 Hangu Pass Qin troops were eyeing each other. The Xuanyi Guard was originally the king's personal army, but now he decided that Zhou Yu planned to stab King Ying Ying of Qin, and wanted to eat his flesh, sleep with his skin, and looked around. It turned out that the whole world was full of enemies, and he was in a panic and did not know where to go. Just two days ago, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers were still in high spirits and were planning to be the heroes of the Heavenly Guard. But in a blink of an eye, they fell from heaven to hell.
The room was as quiet as death. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one could come up with a correct idea. I don’t know how long it took, but the door of the inner room creaked open. The generals stood up suddenly and saw their master walking out of the inner room. They thought Zhou Yu would be depressed, but now everyone saw Zhou Yu, with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
"General!" everyone shouted.
Zhou Yu nodded, walked to the big case in the middle of the lobby and sat down, stretched out his hands and pressed, "Sit down everyone!"
Seeing everyone sitting, Zhou Yu actually smiled, "We are all clear about our situation now. We arrived in Xianyang from the south. The smooth process was a trap set by the enemy. Lu Chao was waiting for us to enter the city, waiting for the chess pieces he buried to play a role, causing civil storm in Xianyang, allowing him to easily take down the city. Now, when you think about it carefully, Lu Chao must have a huge undercover agent in Xianyang City. This person must be at a high position and can hold a lot of power. Wang Ming, what information has come from Xianyang?"
"Go back to the general!" Wang Ming, the deputy general who was like a rice dumpling, stood up, "We received news not long ago that the king died. Fan Sui committed suicide. Xianyang City had been taken down by Lu Chao. The commander of the Black Ice Platform, Mingtai, led the Xuanyiwei to protect the prince and the princess from Xianyang City, and is now stationed in Changfeng County, more than 50 miles away from Xianyang."
Zhou Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the roof in a daze for a while. The scenes of the assassination in Xianyang City before and after slid through his mind one by one. A person's appearance suddenly froze in front of him, "I understand, I understand." He held his head with his hands, and showed an expression of crying or laughing on his face, "So that's it, so that's it, since that's the case, how can we be undefeated? How can the king survive? It's not unjust, the king died without unjust, I, Zhou, was convinced by my defeat, amazing, extremely powerful!"
"General. What are you talking about?" Wang Ming and the generals looked at Zhou Yu for no reason, thinking that the general was so irrational that he was a little confused after being so stimulated?
In the astonishing eyes of everyone, Zhou Yu slowly calmed down, "How much food and grass do we have?"
"Reply to the general's words, when we set out from the south, we originally had enough food and grass. Along the way, the army was constantly collecting food, and now there is still more than a month of food." Zhou Hao, the logistics and logistics officer, stood up and replied loudly.
"The food for one month is enough. Everyone, Xingping, we are so impatient. After Lu Chao solved the Xuanyiwei, the spearhead will be directed at us immediately. We must leave Xingping as soon as possible, return to the south, and return to Sanchuan County. If we go back late, Tan Wei will not be able to defend Sanchuan County. We will really become homeless and lonely ghosts." Zhou Yu stood up, "Go back to Sanchuan County, where is our home, where is our roots? Only when we return, can we be qualified to talk about the future."
"General, the strength of the Xuanyiwei has not suffered much loss. It is probably not a matter of time before Lu Chao wants to solve them, right?" Wang Ming asked.
"You are wrong. I think Lu Chao will solve the problem of Xuanyiwei soon, because he has an assistant, an amazing helper!" Zhou Yu sighed, "Send the order and start retreating. In addition, Pegasus returns to report to the old general Tan, so that he must guard Sanchuan County, at least defend the county city, so that after we go back, we can react and counterattack in time. Since our king has failed, at least we must protect the south for the court."
"As for your order!" the generals stood up and said loudly.
They had lost their target just now, but now, Zhou Yu gave them another target. Now the Chu army is attacking the south of Qin. As Qin soldiers, they should garrison the country.
The next day, just dawned, the gates of Changping City opened wide, and teams of soldiers drove out from the city and drove along the road they came. At Xingping City, Zhou Yu turned around and looked at the direction of Xianyang City, feeling sad. He might not be inferior to anyone, but when it comes to conspiracy and tricks and tricks, he was ignorant like a baby. He was played with and applauded without knowing it.
In Changfeng County, nearly 30,000 Xuanyiweis filled the small county town. Lu Jun broke through the city, Xuanyiwei gave up Xianyang, and many princes and nobles in Xianyang followed them out of Xianyang in panic. Although Lu Chao was under the banner of clearing the emperor and denying treacherous, he clearly wanted to rebel. Other ministers only needed to change to a master and could still enjoy wealth and honor, but they, the Ying clan members, remained in the city, and there was still a good place there. They could only hurry to escape from the city with Xuanyiwei. In the midst of the turmoil, they naturally didn't care about their wealth.
Changfeng County is just a small county town, with only more than a thousand households in the entire county. Tens of thousands of soldiers and the princes and nobles who fled, were immediately crowded. The original residents were driven out of their homes without hesitation, and their homes became the residence of these princes and nobles and soldiers.
Looking at the short city wall of Changfeng County, everyone was worried. Xianyang City was so tall and dangerous, but it was still broken by Lu Chao. How could Changfeng County have lowly blocked the attack of the army like a wolf and a tiger? Especially those Xuanyi Guards who had seen the power of artillery on the city walls, they had no confidence. The city wall like Xianyang City could not be reached under the bombardment of artillery. This thin city wall of Changfeng County was afraid that it would be a big hole if it was shot.
The defense arrangement in Xianyang City was still very perfect, but it basically fell into the hands of the enemy without any effect. Changfeng had nothing. When the Xuanyi Guard, who escaped from Xianyang, was examining the power available in his hands, he found that they had few long-range strike weapons.
It seemed that the only way to escape was to them, but where to escape? Most of the territory of Qin, which was originally under the control of the court, has basically surrendered to Lu Chao. The only Nanyang County is separated from their current location by thousands of mountains and rivers. Bai Qi, the only general who can trust, can only sigh, and has power but cannot play any role.
Apart from the thin city walls, another more fatal problem is food and grass. Nearly 30,000 soldiers, the families of thousands of princes and nobles, and where did the food chewed by people and horses come from? Although the Xuanyiwei drove away the people inside and blocked the charity warehouse in the city as soon as he entered Changfeng County, he swept out all the grains and only used it for two or three days to chew them.
Without food, the morale of the army is unstable. Even if the Xuanyi Guard is the emperor's personal army, what can it do? How can it be done if there is no food? How can it exercise the responsibility of the emperor's personal army?
People in Changfeng County were panic, but at this time, in the Changfeng County government, there were a lot of howling and crying. Mingtai knelt in front of Princess Ying Ying, crying in silence.
"Princess, the princess is a death sentence, a death sentence. The prince did not protect the prince well, and even let the prince die in the chaos, causing the king to cut off the incense inheritance, leaving tens of thousands of Xuanyi Guards without their masters, so the princess would be punished."
The Princess Qin seemed not to hear Mingtai's roar, but just stared at the body of his son Yingji on the stretcher. Yingji was shot in the back and killed with one arrow.
There was no crying, only a dull look, and never left Ying Ji's body for a moment.
"Ming Commander, there are waves flying in the chaos, no wonder you. The princess is too sad. Ming Commander should go down first and let the princess calm down." An old man from Ying came forward and helped Mingtai up. Now Mingtai controls nearly 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, and there are more than a thousand Black Ice Tai soldiers in his hands to protect their safety. He was really worried that Princess Qin would start to get angry and pour out his anger on Mingtai. Now he is in danger. If he angered the Ming Commander in front of him, he is afraid that he will be in trouble.
"Thank you for your kindness to the King of Linchuan!" Mingtai stood up and bowed to the old man. This King of Linchuan Ying Zhuang is the only remaining prince of the Ying family. "The last general will go to reorganize the army and prepare for war right now. We swear to fight life and death with the thieves."
After abandoning this sentence, Mingtai was so arrogant that he left the county government gate with a high spirit. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the sadness on his face disappeared.
"Control clearly!" Lu Zhihui, deputy commander of Xuanyi Guard, hurried over, "There is news coming from Xianyang."
"What news? Good or bad?" Mingtai asked.
"I don't know whether it's good or bad," Lu Zhihui hesitated.
"Are General Lu confused? Is it good or bad? " Mingtai said angrily.
"Commander Ming, just now, news came from Xianyang that it was said that the thief actually supported the son of the eldest prince Yingguo, Ying Zhun, as the king." Lu Zhihui's face was very strange, "Didn't the eldest prince Yingguo's family be sentenced to death by the previous kings back then? Where did a son Ying Zhun come out?"
Mingtai raised his eyebrows, "No matter whether this person is the son of the former eldest prince Ying Guo, as long as Lu Chao did not usurp the throne and relied on his own, but still supported the descendants of the Ying family, we would not have reached a dead end, do you think?"
Lu Zhihui nodded repeatedly: "The general thought so too. Although we still have 30,000 troops now, there are no reinforcements outside and no food inside, so it is vulnerable at all."
