Chapter 270 Ying Zheng: I Heard that Guiguzi Invited Zhao Feng to Join Guiguzi?
Hearing the urgent report from the northern border town.
The three heads who were originally confident immediately panicked.
In his Chu State, Xiang Yan was defending the western border to resist the attack of the Qin army.
They were naturally not panicking, as long as they ensured that there was enough food and grass.
But the cities in the northern border of his Chu State were all under their defense and dispatch. Once they were breached from the northern border, it would not be a good thing for them.
"Tell me, what happened in the northern border?"
"Did Qin mobilize troops from the northern border?"
Zhao Wen, who was still calm just now, immediately asked.
"Just read it, what happened?"
"Read it quickly." The other two shouted immediately.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were all watching.
Under the gaze of so many dignitaries, the messenger raised the urgent report in his hand with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I can't read, please read it yourself."
If this kind of war report comes, you will die without a burial place if you are not careful.
After all, the court of Chu State is not like that of Qin.
Even if the Qin King received bad news, he would not implicate ordinary messengers no matter how angry he was.
After all, as a Qin warrior with a title, he was a meritorious official.
In the Qin King, the law comes first, and he will not be angry about this.
But it is not necessarily the case in other countries.
In other countries, the nobles are in power. Ordinary civilians and ordinary soldiers cannot rise to high positions without connections and family background.
"Show it up."
The King of Chu waved his hand.
The eunuchs serving him immediately ran down and took the urgent report.
The King of Chu took it.
His face suddenly changed.
"My dear ministers."
"It's a big deal."
"Qin Wu'an Jun Zhao Feng led his Wu'an camp to attack our Chu."
"Now Qufu City and seven surrounding cities have been conquered by Zhao Feng's army."
"The army of our Chu deployed in the north has been defeated by the Qin army, and suffered heavy losses." The King of Chu said with a trembling voice.
As soon as the words fell,
The heads of the three families, who were not worried at first, were also a little panicked at this moment.
"How could it be so fast?"
"My Great Chu has not received any secret reports about the Qin Wu'an Camp sending troops."
"When did the King of Qin order the troops to move?"
"Qufu City is guarded by 50,000 troops, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the surrounding cities, with a total force of more than 100,000."
"Even if Zhao Feng is so powerful, it is impossible to break through in just a few days."
"What should we do?"
"Zhao Feng is the ever-victorious general of Qin."
"It's only been a few days? The northern border of my Great Chu was broken by Zhao Feng's army."
"Wu'an Camp is stronger than Hangu..."
At this moment.
The court of Chu was panicked.
"My three beloved ministers."
"Zhao Feng led his army to attack, what should we do?" The King of Chu looked at the heads of the three families.
"Your Majesty."
"There is no time to lose, please issue an edict quickly to increase troops in the northern border." Zhao Wen asked loudly.
"I second the motion."
"We should quickly dispatch troops to reinforce the northern border and stop the Qin army's offensive."
The civil and military officials in the court spoke one after another.
However.
After hearing this.
The King of Chu had a worried look on his face.
Although he was the king, he had no soldiers to send.
So.
He gritted his teeth and looked directly at Zhao Wen.
"My three beloved ministers."
"You are in charge of the military and political affairs of my Great Chu. Now that the northern border has been lost, the specific dispatch depends on the three beloved ministers. I will definitely support it." The King of Chu said loudly immediately.
Obviously.
The King of Chu was not stupid either, and he threw the problem back directly.
"Lord Zhao Wen, how many troops can my Great Chu mobilize now?" Qu looked at Zhao Wen and asked.
"If the troops defending Baiyue are transferred back, my Great Chu can still mobilize 300,000 troops."
"Compared with the troops of Qin, it seems that it is still insufficient."
"And Qin has sufficient food and grass, but my Great Chu does not." Zhao Wen looked embarrassed.
Then he turned his eyes and bowed to the King of Chu again: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to deal with Qin with the current military force. I think that Your Majesty should immediately issue a royal decree to recruit veterans and new soldiers from the people."
"To resist Qin."
Hearing this.
The other two bowed immediately: "I second the proposal."
"We must recruit troops immediately, otherwise we really can't compete with Qin."
"In addition, if General Xiang Yan can still defend, the general should be allowed to transfer troops to the northern border for defense."
"That's right."
"The general is stationed in Chufang City. This city is the most solid city in my Great Chu. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The general can definitely transfer some troops to the northern border for defense."
...
The three people sang in unison.
The question was thrown to the King of Chu again.
Facing the three people like this.
The hands in the sleeves of the King of Chu were clenched, full of a sense of powerlessness.
Now that the country has been destroyed and the family has been ruined, the three families are still only concerned about their own interests.
"My dear ministers."
"You should have heard about the methods Qin used against other countries."
"They dared to kill the King of Yan, so don't they think they dared to kill you?"
"If Qin really attacked the capital, do you think that no one would be left alive?" The King of Chu said to the ministers in the court almost word by word.
Hearing this!
The faces of many ministers in the court also changed. They naturally understood what the King of Chu meant.
The country was destroyed and the clan was extinct.
In the Three Jins and in the Yan State.
How many kings and clans became prisoners of Qin.
All power was gone in one day.
Looking at the silence and worry in the court.
The King of Chu sneered in his heart, and then said: "If the Qin army really came to the city, I would be without a father and a mother, and all my relatives would die. I would definitely not be a prisoner."
"As for you dear ministers, I can't take care of you."
This statement was naturally a warning.
If they don't make any efforts, and still have to intrigue to protect their own interests, then he will die at most, and everything of these powerful people will be gone.
"Your Majesty."
"For the survival of the country, we will do our best to serve."
"I am willing to mobilize all the young and strong in my clan to serve the great Chu."
Zhao Wen thought for a moment and said loudly.
"I am also willing to mobilize the young and strong in my clan to serve the great Chu."
"I am also willing to..."
The ministers seemed to be persuaded, and they all said they were willing to contribute.
After hearing this.
The King of Chu looked much better.
"Three adults."
"Your three clans are the Kangding clan of my Great Chu. If you three clans cannot work together in this battle, my Great Chu will be in danger."
"How to mobilize troops and how to protect Great Chu, I will leave it to you."
"As for recruiting soldiers, I will also issue an edict." The King of Chu said immediately.
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers shouted in unison.
——
The location of Chu Fangcheng.
The elite soldiers of Hangu Camp have arrived.
"General."
"Just received the news."
"Wu'an Jun has led his army to break through the cities in the northern border of Chu State and defeated the 100,000-strong army defense of Chu State in the northern border."
"Now continue to attack Chu State." Li Xin reported to Huan Yi with an excited face.
"I knew that the king would order Wu'an Jun to attack Chu."
Huan Yi also had an excited smile on his face.
"General."
"Now I am really convinced."
"Although the Wu'an Camp was attacked by surprise, the Chu army has been deployed in its northern border for many years. Wu'an Jun broke through the important border cities of Chu in less than ten days and captured many cities."
"One hundred thousand elite Chu soldiers died or were captured."
"A great victory." Li Xin said excitedly.
"Now Wu'an Jun has won a great victory."
"From the northern border, we can go straight to the capital of Chu."
"From this point of view, our army is not in a hurry." Huan Yi sneered.
"General, do you mean to delay Xiang Yan?" Li Xin immediately understood.
"That's right."
"The real elite troops of Chu are all under Xiang Yan's command, and the 200,000 troops are all gathered around this Chufang City."
"This Chufang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our army will surround it without attacking, and just hold Xiang Yan back, which will surely be effective."
"As for destroying Chu, I believe that Wu'an Jun will definitely attack the capital of Chu directly. As long as the capital is captured, Chu will perish. Xiang Yan will die in the heartland of Chu and will perish." Huan Yi sneered.
"I understand." Li Xin nodded immediately.
"In this battle, Chu is finished."
"The people of Chu are not united."
"After a blow from my Hangu Camp, they are like a frightened bird. Now that Wu'an Camp is out again, within half a year, with Wu'an Jun's ability to command troops, they will definitely be able to attack the capital of Chu."
"This battle."
"Let my Hangu Camp assist Wu'an Jun to win this achievement." Huan Yi said very confidently.
"I understand." Li Xin nodded immediately.
"This battle."
"Originally I shouldn't have come to rob."
"If it was Wu'an Jun who led the troops to attack, perhaps Chu Fangcheng would have been broken long ago."
"If it wasn't for Wu'an Jun's reminder, my Hangu Camp would have been lost."
"Such a great favor, Huan Yi will remember it."
"Huan Yi will not compete for credit in this battle, but only want to assist Wu'an Jun to achieve the credit of destroying Chu, help Wu'an Jun ascend to the position of national lieutenant, and command the military power of my Qin." Huan Yi murmured.
"I will follow you with all my strength." Li Xin also looked convinced.
In the past, he thought Zhao Feng was younger than him, so he looked down on him, but now he is completely convinced.
Attack Chu!
It's not difficult.
Compared with attacking Yan and Zhao.
Attacking Chu is even simpler.
Xianyang, the court hall!
"Report to the king."
"Wu'an Jun led his army to capture ten cities in the northern border of Chu State. Wu'an Jun led his army to kill more than 50,000 of the 100,000 Chu soldiers and captured more than 30,000 people."
"Now Wu'an Jun led the elite soldiers of the camp to attack all the way south."
"Within half a year, we will surely attack the capital of Chu State."
Wei Liao reported excitedly.
"Sure enough."
"Wu'an Jun still has to fight."
"Wu'an Jun will definitely win if he fights."
"It has always been like this."
"If Wu'an Jun had led the army to attack directly, I am afraid that my Qin army would have killed more people."
"Destroy Chu, it will be soon."
"As long as Chu State is destroyed, my Qin will unify the world in no time."
...
Many Qin officials began to discuss, and many of them were full of admiration for Zhao Feng.
The name of the Qin God of War is really well-deserved.
Listening to the praises in the court.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth also curled up.
Whenever his son went to war, he would always bring him a big surprise.
"What is the Hangu camp doing?" Ying Zheng asked loudly.
"Report to the king."
"General Huan Yi led his army to fight with Xiang Yan in Chu Fangcheng."
"General reported that he will assist in this battle and drag away Xiang Yan's army. The main attack will be handed over to Wu'an Jun. The responsibility of defeating Chu lies with Wu'an Jun." Wei Liao replied immediately.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng nodded: "Huan Yi is good. He knows how to advance and retreat. He is not too reckless."
"Pass the imperial edict."
"This time, as long as General Huan Yi cooperates with the Wu'an camp to destroy Chu, I will also remember his great contribution."
Wei Liao immediately bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, I will convey your Majesty's holy will immediately."
"Prime Minister Han."
"How about the food and baggage?" Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei.
"Report to the king."
"The Hangu camp is supplied with food from the hinterland of Qin, while the Wu'an camp is supplied with food from Yan."
"The food and grass in Dukang is enough to guarantee the logistics of Wu'an camp."
"I also received a document from Governor Cai Ci today. He ensures that the Wu'an camp will not be short of food and grass." Han Fei immediately stood up and said.
"I still say the same thing."
"Great Qin warriors can die on the battlefield, but they must not die for lack of food, and they must never be defeated for lack of food."
"After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, in addition to the generals who commanded the army and the generals, the logistics and logistics officials should also be rewarded." Ying Zheng said with authority.
"Great King Shengming."
The ministers all shouted.
In the past, every time Zhao Feng's name was mentioned in the court, no matter what he did, someone would definitely impeach him and say some sarcastic words.
But since Wang Wan died.
No one in the court dared to target Zhao Feng.
Even with that Wei shape, he was afraid of offending Zhao Feng at this moment.
Ever since Wang Wan was exterminated, Zhao Feng was like a mad dog in their eyes, biting them whenever he got the chance.
Moreover, Wang Wan's entire clan was wiped out, which was also a shock to the Manchu Dynasty.
Not everyone can afford the price of being an enemy of Zhao Feng.
"Based on the situation in Chu State, the three families are fighting for power and their interests come first."
"Chu is a big country."
"But it will definitely be easier to destroy than the Zhao State." Ying Zheng laughed, and his tone also revealed the mockery of the Chu State.
"As the king said, although the Chu State is large and has a large population, the royal power cannot bring the Chu State together. The power of the Chu State is almost entirely controlled by three families."
"King Chu, he is nothing more than a puppet."
"It is not difficult to destroy this country." Wei Liao immediately agreed.
"Send the imperial edict to Zhao Feng."
"Let me destroy Chu quickly."
"The earlier I do it, the greater my reward will be."
Ying Zheng smiled and said to Wei Liao.
"With your Majesty's encouragement like this, Lord Wu'an will be even more inspired, and the warriors of Wu'an Camp will be even more inspired." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Wei Qing."
"I heard that Master Guiguzi invited Zhao Feng to visit Guigu."
"Is this true or false?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this.
All the ministers in the court gathered on Wei Liao.
Guiguzi!
Who is that?
An existence whose true reputation is resounding throughout the world.
For example, is there anyone in the world who is more famous than Gui Guzi?
That's really rare.
Even Xunzi from Jixia Academy was not as famous as Guiguzi.
Even if the king wants to see Guiguzi, it is extremely difficult and impossible.
Because Guiguzi is a hidden master.
And now he actually invited Zhao Feng to enter Guigu Yixu?
What an honor is this?
Many civil servants were completely shocked and filled with envy when they heard the news.
It's obvious.
Ying Zheng is building momentum for his son again.
