In recent days, Xinyang, Chengfu, and Qin troops from Weixian have successively set out to attack the Chu army, but there is no substantial attack.

Frightened by the power of the Qin army's crossbows, the Chu army did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

King Fu Chu, who was staying behind, couldn't sit still.

The Qin-Chu battle lasted for nearly a year. The news that Meng Tian supported Mi Tong, the son of the former King of Chu, ascended the throne and became the new King of Chu, was passed back to the country. Many people from all over the country had ideas.

Fu Chu took the initiative to take the initiative and massacred ministers in Shouying City, stabilizing the situation in Shouying.

Outside Shouying, the vassals of various places have their own arms. If they want to clean up, they don’t have that many troops at this time.

Almost all the Chu soldiers were sent to the Qin and Chu front line.

"Ling Yin, do I have a chance of winning this battle?"

In the palace of the King of Chu, in Fu Chu's study, the king and minister of Chu were discussing important matters.

Deep in my heart, there was a little more confusion. As time went by, this confusion became more and more intense.

"King, no matter whether you have a chance of winning or not, this battle must be fought."

At the left head of Fu Chu, the Chu State Commander Jingxu was shocked. If the king said such words, if they were spread, it would greatly affect the morale of the frontline soldiers.

Jing Jue came from the Jing clan, a wealthy family of Chu. His ancestors were brothers of the King of Chu and had been passed down for more than 500 years. Back then, it was Jing Jue who defected to Fu Chu that Fu Chu had the confidence to launch a coup.

"Since the Qin King took power, his intention to annex the world is obvious. He has successively conquered Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan and other countries. The king became a prisoner and lived a miserable life. If the Chu Kingdom was defeated, we would only return to the countryside and be a farmer, but the king had no way out."

Jing Que came from a great clan and served as the chief magistrate for many years. The traces of the great clan cannot be removed, but he is not a mediocre person. These words came to the point.

"That's right, but now the army is insufficient and the food is short of food. It's like the spring plowing is going to be missed again. The prospects of Chu State are a little bad......"

Fu Chu did not reply, Zuo Sima frowned and expressed the difficulties of Chu.

"Zuo Sima said it is reasonable. Now that the troops from all over the country are gathered at the hands of the pillars, the country really cannot draw any extra troops."

The Right Sima raised his head, echoed the Left Sima, and asked, "What can I do if Lord Ling Yin?"

The official system of Chu State is different from that of the Central Plains. Under the king, there are also Zhu State, Sima on the left and Sima on the right. According to the tradition of Chu State, these people can lead the army.

When King Zhuang of Chu was reigned, the fighters who served as the imperial court launched a rebellion. After that, the King of Chu gradually weakened the power of the imperial court. The imperial court in the late Warring States Period gradually changed to civil servants and stayed away from military power.

Jing Mi did not have military power in his hands, and Sima on the left and Sima on the right had the confidence to compete with Ling Yin. This was also a scene that the King of Chu had been popular with all dynasties.

"This..." Jing Qing was speechless for a moment.

As the imperial court, Jing Mi naturally knew that the Chu State was about to be in a state of exhaustion. However, when he reached his level, he understood even more that the battle between Qin and Chu was a national war of life and death, and he could not retreat at all.

"King, Chu can borrow grain from Qi."

After a long time, Jing Qing came to her senses and looked at Qi State in the north.

"There are still many private soldiers in the hands of the vassals in various places, and the king can order the recruitment. The private soldiers in the fiefdom of our Jing family will be handed over to the king this time."

Jing Qing lowered her head and leaned on the ground, with a sonorous tone.

After Fu Chu ascended the throne, it was not that he had no idea of ​​enfeoffing the monarch and private soldiers. It was just that it was quite difficult to put such an idea into practice.

Jing Li, who supported the coup, was also unwilling to hand over the fiefdom.

The private soldiers of the vassal of the kings in various parts of the State of Chu are the guarantee of the vassal of the king's capital and life. If you have soldiers in your hands, even if the King of Chu is strong, he will be afraid.

If the private soldiers are handed over, once the King of Chu dies and lacks the ability to protect himself, he will not even have the ability to protect himself.

So what if Bai Qi of Qin was a great military achievement? The King of Qin had to commit suicide at Du Youting with his decree.

It was precisely for the sake of his own interests that the vassal of Chu State collectively resisted the centralization of the King of Chu.

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the state of Chu was not weak, but the power of the king was always very weak. It may be only a little stronger than the King of Yan.

How can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed?

At the critical moment of the national war, Jing Qi understood this truth before he decided to give up his private soldiers completely and deal with the current crisis first.

"I feel so relieved to Gong Yin!" Fu Chu hurriedly reached out and helped Jing Ju up, exclaiming, but his eyes looked at the two Simas.

"I feel so comforted!" Fu Chu stared at the two Simas on the left and right with an expectant look in his eyes.

"King, national war is the best, and we are willing to hand over the private soldiers of the fief."

Sima was a little reluctant, but at this time, they couldn't help it.

With the imperial court, Jingxue, and they said no, they were afraid that the battle between Qin and Chu had not yet ended and they became martyrs.

During the Qin-Chu battle, Xiang Yan on the front line gathered 400,000 troops under his command, but still did not exert most of the strength of Chu.

The large number of private soldiers in the hands of the Fengjun in the rear were not included in the Chu State's mobilization system.

At the critical moment of national crisis, not everyone can be selfless.

A few days later, Jing Qing took the lead and mobilized nearly 50,000 private soldiers to recruit them to Xinyang.

The news of the departure of the Chu reinforcements was soon passed back to the Qin army camp.

"General, Chu State has indeed mobilized a group of troops to go north. In this way, the country of Chu State becomes even more empty."

In the Central Military Camp, Jing Su looked happy and held a bamboo slip to report the latest military information to Meng Tian.

"According to news from the Dark Eagle, there are 50,000 reinforcements in this batch."

After saying that, Jing Su took out a small apricot yellow flag from the wooden box on the edge of the sand table and inserted it into the Chu army front behind Xinyang.

On the sand table are eight small apricot yellow flags, each small flag represents 50,000 people. At first glance, I was very clear.

"In addition, the Chu people sent envoys north to Qi, wanting to find Qi people to borrow food."

"It's really hard for Chu people to find Qi people to borrow food?"

Meng Tian was stunned and then realized that at this time, the only country that could help Chu was Qi, which had been recuperating for many years.

Qi State has not fought for decades, and there is indeed a lot of food stored.

"If the Qi people really lend food to the Chu State, the battle will continue. At that time, Xianyang has an order and the general can submit..."

Jing Su's words are at the end of his mouth, and he just clicks them. Although Meng Tian makes a big fuss, he is essentially consuming with the Chu army.

"The State of Zhao borrowed grain from the Qi people back then, but Qi didn't. Now the Chu people who have killed the King of Qi have borrowed grain from the Qi people, and most of the Qi people will not borrow it." Meng Tian smiled and shook his head, "There is a weak person in the office of the pedestrian to be in charge of Qi. If the Chu people borrowed grain, they will never succeed!"
