Chapter 292 Prepare to march

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Chen Ying's night is extremely lonely. Occasionally, a few sad crows screams from afar.

In Changping Jun Xiong Qi's mansion, the torch was turned off early in the front hall, and only the study in the backyard was radiating a little light.

In this era, even wealthy families do not have the habit of bright lights every night.

"Young Master, Shangzhu Kingdom asked me to ask you, "Hello, is your heart belonging to the Qin people? Is it belonging to the Chu people?"

Xiong Qi's personal servant was kneeling in front of Xiong Qi at this time, and whispered the message in a low voice that only two people could hear.

"Wu Zhi, you were indeed sent by Chu State to me!"

Xiong Qi's eyes were as calm as autumn water, without a trace of turmoil, without a trace of anger on his face.

"Young Master has known it a long time ago?"

The Sheren Wu Zhi raised his head, his face full of surprise. He was already ready to accept Xiong Qi's anger.

"Hmph, if I didn't know, how could you survive until now."

Xiong Qi sneered, pointed at Wu Zhi's nose and said, "What else did Shangzhuguo explain?"

"Shangzhu Kingdom said that after Li Xin and Meng Tian led their troops deep into Chu, the prince occupied Yan Ying, cut off the Qin army's food and grass, and annihilate the 200,000 Qin troops who attacked Chu this time, so that Chu State can be saved!"

Wu Zhi was happy and took Xiang Yan's plan out.

Since Xiong Qi was on the side of Chu, this war had a lot of chances of winning. At this time, I am afraid that the Qin army will still be in the dark.

"The king has issued an order. As long as the prince leads his army to Chu, the land of Jiangdong can be granted to the prince."

After saying that, Wu Zhi presented a green square jade gui with the word "花" written on it.

Seeing this jade gui, Xiong Qi understood everything.

This jade gui belongs to Xiong Qi's tall father, King Huai of Chu. King Huai of Chu entered Qin to negotiate, but was deceived by King Zhaoxiang and died in a foreign land. The people of Chu felt ashamed.

Xiong Qi still remembers that when he was young, his father Xiong Wan took advantage of the late night to tell the humiliating history of Qin's attack on Chu. When talking about the part where King Huai entered Qin, Xiong's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Once King Huai of Chu was completely destroyed by Qin, and even the tombs of his ancestors could not be kept.

From then on, the people of Chu were afraid of Qin's urgent attack on Chu, and they also hated that Chu could not revive it.

Touching the smooth Yugui, Xiong Qi seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the tall father King Huai of Chu. This temperature followed his fingers and invaded his heart, igniting a strong hatred.

"Our Chu and Qin are irreconcilable!"

Xiong Qi once hoped that Ying Zheng would let Chu go for his contribution, but Ying Zheng's actions completely pierced Xiong Qi's fantasy.

What Xiong Qi wanted was the whole world, not the land in the north. The Chu State, which had long been regarded as the southern barbarian, believed that it belonged to the sphere of influence of the Central Plains.

The Qin State was about to annex the six Shandong countries. The Chu State, located in the south, had already been in the Qin army's plan to conquer the Qin army.

Xiong Qi could help Ying Zheng defeat Han, Zhao and Wei, but he could not help Qin to deal with his dream mother country.

"Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. Ying Zheng can't blame me for being sorry for him."

Xiong Qi stood up, opened the window, looked at the sky in the south, and seemed to hear the familiar wu Zhu singing.

Ying Zheng was still a little wishful thinking, and Xiong Qi shook his head gently.

If Ying Zheng made up his mind and put Xiong Qi under house arrest and did not leave Xianyang, even if Xiong Qi had the intention to return to Chu, there would still be no possibility of implementation.

But Ying Zheng also had a last illusion in his heart, giving Xiong Qi the power to prepare food and grass.

Perhaps, Ying Zheng felt that Xiong Qi had grown up in Qin and had sympathized with Chu in his heart, but he would not have betrayed Qin.

"General, Jiangling has heard news that General Li has completed his integration of troops and is preparing to set out on September 15th to march into Pingyu."

Just after mid-September, Meng Bao received news from Nanjun and hurried to Meng Tian's military tent.

Jing Su, who has always been responsible for conveying messages, suddenly disappeared during this period. Meng Bao, the personal military commander, was not only responsible for commanding the personal military camp, but also managing the miscellaneous chores of the big tent, and was quite busy.

"Li Xin's movements are quite fast."

Meng Tian took the Yin Talisman and glanced at the information above.

When Wang Ben attacked the Wei State, Li Xin led his army to reinforce Nanjun to resist the attack of Chu State.

After staying in Nanjun for a few months, Li Xin had enough time to train his troops. Qu Teng, the governor of Nanjun, once served as the county magistrate in Longxi County. Li Xin was born into a long-term clan. With such a relationship, the cooperation between the two has always been smooth.

News came from Xianyang that Ying Zheng intended to transfer Qu Teng back to Xianyang to serve as the internal historian. With such hope, Qu Teng worked harder when he started the matter, for fear of something going wrong in the great cause of attacking Chu.

"Where did Changpingjun go?"

"Changping Jun left Jiangling and stationed grain in Chenying."

Meng Bao was a little surprised. Why did Meng Tian care about Changpingjun so much?

"Chen Ying?" Meng Tian stepped in front of the map a few steps, his eyes sometimes falling on Jiangling, sometimes falling on Chen Ying.

The county of Nanjun, Jiangling, was originally Yan Ying, the capital of Chu State for hundreds of years. After Bai Qi led his army to attack Chu, Chu State completely lost Yan Ying and embarked on the road to moving eastward.

In the 21st year of King Qingxiang of Chu, the State of Chu moved east to Chen County, which is Chen Ying recorded in historical books.

The Chu people had a habit of naming their capital Ying. King Kaoli of Chu moved east to Shouchun again, and the Chu people called it Shouying.

"Changpingjun really has a good plan."

Meng Tian couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

The county magistrate of Jiangling, Qu Teng, took the horse to control the army and dismounted horse to control the people, which was difficult to deal with. Changping monarch voluntarily moved to Chen Ying, which not only escaped from Qu Teng's constraints, but also left Qu Teng a good impression of not fighting for power and profit.

Chen Ying stood in Nanjun and Chu State and was in a key place for the Qin army's food route. If the Qin army fought against the Chu army and Xiong Qi suddenly occupied Chen Ying and rebelled against Qin and burned the Qin army's food and grass, the Qin army would undoubtedly be defeated.

Perhaps, the Qin army is still in danger of being wiped out.

He lost 200,000 troops at once, and even the strong Qin State had to rest and recuperate.

The most important thing is that the victory of the Chu army will send a bad signal to the old places of the six countries.

The remnants of the six countries who were secretly preparing to restore the country took the opportunity to join forces with the Chu people and harass Qin in the rear, and Qin's troops would be even more difficult.

"Send the order, three days later, the army is ready to go south!"

Meng Tian pointed Chen Ying fiercely with his finger, his heart full of worry.

At this time, Jing Su, who was secretly heading to Chen Ying, wondered if he could destroy Xiong Qi's plan?

Meng Bao took the military order and quickly left the military tent, and went to convey it to Zhang Tuo, Huang Ji and others.

When the army was ready to set off, the barracks did not gather together, and everything was going quietly.

After Meng Bao left, Meng Tian sat back at the table and carefully looked at the map of Chu. When he was fine, he had become a habit of not being able to move.

"Xiong Qi would not have thought that I would not lead my army directly to the State of Chu, but chose to detour Guling and visit Chen Ying by the way..."
