Chapter 310: Chu and Han Struggle [3]

At the same time, the attacks in the other two directions of the Chu army did not succeed. The Chu army suffered nearly 5,000 deaths and more than 3,000 injuries. After this battle, the Chu army was unable to continue to force the crossing. At the same time, the city guards under the Chu State of Cai believed that Chu State could no longer set foot in Cai State. The people were depressed, and the defenders opened the city gates and surrendered to the Han army. Even a few loyal to the Chu State were sent by She Yong to break through the city and destroy their clan.

But after receiving the war report, Yang Zilu was not happy, but on the contrary, her face became solemn. Because the Han army suffered many casualties, more than half of the Chu army. This seemed to be nothing special, and it was not even a miserable victory. But don't forget that the Han army attacked it halfway, occupying the territory and having an advantage in military strength.

Especially in terms of force, there were not many Chu soldiers who forced the army to cross, and the three routes combined did not exceed 10,000. The Han army was different. They had a total of 50,000 people, more than five times the invading Chu army. Such a comparison still achieved such a record. From this we can see the tenacity of the Chu army. It can even be said that if Yang Zilu had not sent 10,000 Han troops to take charge of the coalition, relying on the quality of the coalition, this battle would have been not a victory, but a crushing defeat.

And how to deal with Chu State in the future? The tenacity of Chu State made Yang Zilu even more afraid. He did not allow a miserable victory, because for Yang Zilu, the miserable victory was the rising sun. After noon, he would fall, and at a speed that was more likely to be higher than the rise.

The black bear walked into the central army tent, looked at Yang Zilu with a serious expression, but did not notice Yang Zilu's abnormality, and said excitedly: "Master, did the Yin-Talk defeat Jing Manzi?"

"Yeah" Yang Zilu put the battle report on the table in front of her and pushed it towards the Black Bear.

The black bear smiled embarrassedly and said, "Lord, you don't know these words yet, I don't know them."

Yang Zilu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Her originally solemn mood also relaxed a little. Yang Zilu said, "Killed almost five thousand people."

Hearing this, the black bear was so excited that he almost danced with his hands. After a while, the black bear recovered and asked Yang Zilu with hope: "Haha, this time, the man Jing has cut off such a large amount of meat. Lord, then should we take advantage of the victory to pursue it?"

"Not the battlefield is now not here, but here..." Yang Zilu said this, stood up, turned around, and looked at the place where the "Qin" was written in small seal script.

...The capital of Qin State Yongcheng...

"Foreign minister Canzhu, I have seen Qin Gong Jianzhu here on behalf of my master, wishing the Qin Kingdom prosperity for generations." Canzhu bowed to the high-ranking Qin Daogong.

"Doctor, please come up. When the doctor returns to see the Lord, he will also wish the Han marquis a prosperous Han country for generations," said Qin Dao Duke indifferently.

Canzhu nodded, sat aside with a smile. After thinking for a while, he said to Duke Dao of Qin: "Cangzhu came all the way, and saw that the Qin country's land was fertile, the Chinese people were martial, and they were really extraordinary."

When Duke Dao of Qin heard this, he felt a little strange, but he still said vaguely: "Doctor, please be polite, please be polite."

Canzhu said solemnly: "This is the truth, but Canzhu is a little confused. Qin has a place of Zhouxing, and the people are martial and extremely brave. But why did Canzhu not hear the reputation of Qin among the princes?"

Before Duke Dao of Qin could answer, a Qin doctor sitting aside had already stood up and said angrily: "Is it because the people from the Han Dynasty came to show off the bravery of the Han Dynasty? Who doesn't know that Qin State is the west, the north is the desert, the east is the domineering Jin, and the south is the strong Chu."

Can Zhu was happy when he heard this. Could it be that Can Zhu had a tendency to be slaughtered? No, but Can Zhu said this just to elicit this. Didn’t he have a breakthrough? But on the surface, Can Zhu still glanced at the Qin doctor with dissatisfaction, looked at Duke Dao of Qin, and said annoyedly: "Duke Qin, who is this? Even if Can Zhu said it wrong, no one can insult the envoy of the Han Dynasty."

Canzhu is particularly serious about the word "Envoyance". Canzhu represents Yang Zilu's mission. Although it is not himself, Canzhu was scolded. To a certain extent, it can be said that Yang Zilu was scolded.

Duke Dao of Qin did not want to get into evil with the Han Dynasty because of this sentence. Duke Dao of Qin immediately scolded: "Cheer, retreat."

When Canzhu heard this, his heart turned around and knew who the person who said this just now. Canzhu smiled and asked half-temptedly: "Is this doctor the prince of Qin?"

"It was because he had lived in the border barbarians for a long time that he didn't know much about etiquette," said Qin Daogong. His words were really not humble. His son Prince Cheng had liked martial arts since he was a child, and his calligraphy was only known for a thousand. This was the result of his supervision for more than ten years. As for etiquette, let alone etiquette, and he didn't learn the words well. Qin Daogong had the intention to let the prince Cheng learn etiquette.

"Haha, why is it? The prince is true in nature?" Canzhu immediately complimented.

"Hmph" But the prince who was complimented was not grateful at all, but instead snorted coldly.

Duke Qin Dao immediately glanced at the prince with a blame.

Canzhu didn't care about the words of Prince Cheng, and nodded solemnly and said, "The prince's scolding just now is indeed reasonable. Qin State is in the west, the north is a desert, Jin State is in the east, and Chu State is in the south. This is really a big prison."

Duke Dao of Qin smiled. He was no younger than the prince. He was impulsive and trustworthy. When he ascended the throne, civil strife broke out in Qin. At that time, Duke Dao of Qin was almost dead in civil strife. However, Duke Dao of Qin barely quelled the civil strife and settled the position of the king of Qin. This also made Duke of Qin very smooth and cautious.

Seeing that Duke Dao of Qin had no expression, Can Zhu couldn't help but feel anxious, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Now there is no vassal state in the world that can be stable. Either attack others or be attacked by others. Can Zhu said abruptly here, if Qin cannot open the prison of the current prison, it may not be able to escape the end of destruction."

"What do you think about this?" Qin Daogong was not angry when he heard this, but just frowned and asked tentatively. After that, he glared at the prince Cheng with his eyes, stopping the prince Cheng's angrily curse in his throat.

Canzhu was immediately happy when he heard this. Canzhu coughed and continued, "Qin State has only a little land. After years of development, Duke Qin may have discovered that the Qin State has too many people, too little land, but there is only so much food and land, which is not enough to distribute. However, the people of Qin State will not care about these. What would they do if they do not have land and food? Duke Qin may also know the consequences, but there is a good opportunity to break the prison in Qin State."

Although Qin is located in the western frontier, Duke Dao of Qin did not know nothing. The rumors of the upcoming war between Chu and Han countries flashed through his heart a few days ago. Duke Dao of Qin looked a little dissatisfied and said in a deep voice: "Doctor wants our Qin State to start a war against Chu State and help you Han State to restrain Chu State? "

Canzhu shook his head and said, "Donald Qin was just right. Canzhu should not say that my head also hopes that Qin would start a war with Chu, but it is not to let Qin restrain Chu. Instead, I hope that it can divide Chu with Qin. It is not what Qin wants to use. In the words of my head, this is a win-win situation that is beneficial to Qin and Hangu."

Duke Dao of Qin remained silent. The prince frowned and asked loudly: "Since you said it was a division, let's not let us send troops to Qin. You Han will still watch the fun behind us. Who will we go to reason with us Qin?"

Canzhu also knew that if there was no practicality, I am afraid that Duke Dao of Qin would not send troops, at least it would not be so easy to send troops. "According to the information my subordinates sent me, my master has sent troops now. And my master also contacted seven vassal states to form a coalition to send troops to Chu. Regarding this news, Duke Qin can immediately send someone to investigate. If you say the wrong person on Canzhu's neck, you don't need to say that, Duke Qin will bring it up."

Speaking of this, Canzhu paused and said, "Of course, I don't deny that sending troops to the Han State will help us. But please don't just think about how much advantage our Han State will take on this matter. Will Qin State not take advantage? Hanzhong of Chu, Danyang of Chu State, and the attention of Chu State is now attracted by us. If Qin State sends troops, it will be able to seize considerable land in the fastest time. As for where this land is, how big it is, it will depend on Qin State's ability. This is the sincerity of our Han State. Isn't this enough to attract Qin State to send troops?"

Duke Dao of Qin did not speak. He carefully calculated how much etiquette he would get if Qin had become involved in this war and how much etiquette he would lose.

However, Prince Cheng was persuaded by Canzhu and turned against him first, and stood up and said, "Although the Han people came to serve on an envoy this time, they were not pure in their minds, but what they said was like the world now, with grass being eaten by sheep, sheep being eaten by wolf, and wolf being eaten by tigers. If we don't become stronger, then we will always be sheep and can only be eaten by people."

The prince seemed to have a great influence in the Qin court. As soon as he stood up, three or four doctors immediately stood up and agreed, "Master, the prince said this very much."

The doctor who was hesitant had stood up a few more people. Almost half of the doctors who attended the court meeting agreed with the prince Cheng's opinion. This may not be half of the doctors in Qin, but those who were able to accompany Duke Dao of Qin to welcome Canzhu were obviously all the upper class of Qin, and their influence was undoubtedly unquestionable.

Duke Dao of Qin was a little nervous when faced with this situation. He didn't know whether to agree or not to agree to Canzhu's request, but he remained a little calm. Duke Dao of Qin did not make a decision immediately, but looked at the chief of the governor who was sitting first (the official position of Qin State, whose power is similar to that of prime minister, but his power is greater than that of ordinary prime ministers.) Wang Sunhuang.

The Qin Duke Dao's ability to consolidate his throne was largely due to Wang Sunhuang's father convinced several old royal families. Wang Sunhuang's line was also highly valued and became a major force in Qin State, second only to the king, so Wang Sunhuang's statement was very important.

Wang Sunhuang thought for a while and said to Duke Dao of Qin: "Master, this matter is related to the fate of our Qin State. If you are not careful, it may lead to the demise of Qin State. Even if you do not perish, you will suffer severe damage. I have to think twice. Doctor Canzhu will not be stingy for a few days and will not give me Qin State? "

Wang Sunhuang said the words behind him to Canzhu.

When Canzhu heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "I know. Canzhu is quite tired from coming along the way. Canzhu will leave and rest. I will come to see Duke Qin again in three days."

...Bai Ju Chu Army camp...

Under the illumination of a torch with a pole shaking in the wind, you can see that Ye Gong was actually standing at the gate of the camp with his deputy commander and right Yin Ziguo, as if waiting for someone. The personal guards brought by Ye Gong and Ziguo were whispering on the side, and everyone could not help but guess curiously who was coming.

Some people speculate that it may be the king who came, and some people even said that Sun Wu came to give advice to Chu State, but none of them could be convinced.

First of all, when the king came, Ye Gong and Ziguo didn't have to be so hidden. They just came two people, but brought the military doctors and soldiers to greet him.

As for Sun Wu, it is rumored that Yang Zilu on the other side is Sun Wu's disciple. Have you ever seen his father helping outsiders beat his son? (Shi Rufu.) Besides, even if Yang Zilu is not Sun Wu's disciple, how many people did Sun Wu kill in Chu State? Will he come to Chu State to help?

Everyone was confused for a moment, but they became more and more curious about the mysterious man. Who was it? It was worthy of the current power of Chu Gong Ye to go out to welcome him.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, a grunt of a carriage running sounded in the quiet wilderness. All the personal guards stood up straight immediately, and after saying a while, they swallowed their stomachs.

Ye Gong and Ziguo walked out of the camp gate with a little respectful expression and a little admiringly looking at the end of the road. A chariot with two torches slowly came. When the chariot approached, everyone's personal guards widened their eyes and were stunned. They even suspected that the chariot had gone the wrong way, or that they were just passing by.

The chariot was very worn. The wheels with bronze swords were originally installed. There was no more on one side, and although there was one on the other side, there was only half left. The body of the chariot was even more outdated and covered with copper rust. If this was called antique and advocated the ancient style, the four-pierce war horses that pulled the chariot were speechless. The old horses were all lame and they made people wonder if such a horse would die halfway through the road. It was a coincidence that it was so old that there were not many teeth inside the chariot. These war horses were not sure how old they were, and they were even pulled out.

However, just when the personal guards thought it was not the ones that Ye Gong and Ziguo came to greet him, Ye Gong and Ziguo had already greeted him and shouted respectfully: "Duke Shen, you are old." After that, Ye Gong also kindly brought the people in the chariot with admiration.

The eyes of the guards almost popped out. This treatment was not even the king. Whose person is from?

ps: There is only one update today, and I am depressed and owe ten thousand words again.

But you can guess who is coming? I can give you a hint, that is, he is from the Chu people, and he is from the generation of Helu and Wu Zixu.
