Chapter 983         

Late at night, the west gate of Xiangyang slowly opened.

A dozen light riders rode out on horseback, and as soon as they came out, they ran away from different directions.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, and the knights on the horse thrust violently. They all carried important military information on their bodies, hoping to run out here alive and serve Wang Ting.

Of course, the Qin army's defense line could not be stationed outside the city, but instead encircled it in a large situation.

The light cavalry was extremely fast. Not long after, one of them was already running on the forest path. The traffic road was blocked, so he could only choose to take the path and avoid the Qin army.

Trees on both sides swept by quickly, and the knight immediately pulled the horse's buttocks.

Coldly, a sharp arrow shot from the right side, hitting his body.

With a scream, the Chu army immediately fell off.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Qin soldiers rushed out of the woods with bent bows in hand.

"It's really the Chu army."

"Quick, search!"

"Hey, there is a secret letter..."

There were more than one person who had happened, and someone else was captured alive. How could the more than ten fast horses sent by Hanzhou rush out under the siege?

Half an hour later, the Qin army's central tent.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was ready to rest. He was taking off his royal robes and wearing white clothes, but he received a report from the guards saying that Lin Chu was asking for a meeting.

"Let him come in."

Soon, Lin Chu entered, knelt on one knee, intervened and bowed, "Master, emergency."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, put on his coat and said, "Get up and talk."

"Yes." Lin Chu got up and then shouted directly outside: "Bring in!"

As he said, a Chu army probe was tied up and held in the tent.

Before Xiao Yuan could ask questions, the man knelt on the ground with a thud and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Youth..."

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly.

Lin Chu immediately explained: "Tonight, the Chu army sent more than a dozen light cavalry to spread information from different directions. This was one of the people captured alive, and this was a secret letter searched from him."

As he spoke, he respectfully handed the letter on it.

Xiao Yuan took it, opened it and glanced roughly.

The content of the letter was submitted to the King of Chu by Hanzhou, and it was nothing more than the crisis in Xiangyang. I asked the King of Wang Ting to find a solution as soon as possible.

After reading it, he first thought about it, then took away the letter and threw it in front of the Chu army, "Let him go."

"Ah?" Lin Chu didn't react a little and couldn't help but say, "King, this is the enemy's intelligence..."

Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to stop him, looked at the Chu army and said, "Today, I am so kind to spare your life and leave quickly."

Not to mention that Lin Chu didn't react, the Chu army was even more confused. He thought he was dead, but he would never have thought that this would be the result.

He was stunned and stammered for a while, "Qin... His Highness, King of Qin, is really willing to spare the villain?"

"If you don't leave, I will change my mind." Xiao Yuan said coldly.

"Ah!? Yes, yes... The little man left immediately, left immediately..." The Chu army responded one after another, and immediately got up, not caring about anything else.

"slow."

"Ah? Your Highness, King of Qin..." The Chu army had just stood up and couldn't help crying again when he heard this.

Xiao Yuan pointed to the letter on the ground, "Get your stuff."

After saying that, he said to Lin Chu again: "Let him loose."

"This..." Although Lin Chu was puzzled, he did not dare to disobey the king's order, so he had to step forward and untied the bound thick rope.

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you Your Highness, thank you for not killing..." After releasing the bondage, the Chu army was happy and dared not delay it. They picked up the letters on the ground and ran out.

"Go down and pass the order so that people don't have to stop him." Xiao Yuan signaled to the guards again.

"No!" The guards took the order and left.

Seeing the other party run away, Lin Chu couldn't help it anymore, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Master, you are..."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "This information is irrelevant to us, but it is fatal to Chu State. Sometimes, letting the other party know the crisis will be better, and the King of Chu may

So it made a mistake.”

He was right. When the King of Chu got this news, he would definitely be very anxious. If he was anxious, he would take action.

Lin Chuhui felt it and immediately bowed: "The king is far-sighted, the uncle understands."

"Go and pay close attention to the next trends of Chu State." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

"promise!"

A few days later, the Chu State convened the main hall.

Because Xiao Yuan deliberately released the news, the King of Chu had received a handwritten letter from Hanzhou and had a clear understanding of the situation in Xiangyang.

When they learned that all the food, grass and supplies of his side were burned down, all the ministers of Chu State were panicked.

The hall was in chaos, and then Lu Chang stood up and bowed and said, "King, I don't even know about Han Shuai. The Qin army could not know about it. It must be someone who colluded. The construction and renovation of Xiangyang back then were all Cui Ji.

Responsible, and I heard that after Cui Ji was released from prison, he did not return to his hometown, but secretly crossed the river and went to the Qin army camp."

"What did you say!" The King of Chu was furious when he heard this. Cui Ji suddenly disappeared before and asked him to send someone to search carefully, but he didn't expect to go to Qin camp.

There is no need to say much about all this.

In a fit of anger, he immediately shouted, "Come!"

"King." The guards outside the hall stepped inside and bowed with fists.

The King of Chu was furious, his eyes were so angry that he shouted, "Immediately mobilize the imperial guards to behead Cui Ji's family and all the people involved!"

"No!" The guards didn't ask too much and took the order and left.

This is equivalent to the nine tribes in a row. The ministers couldn't help but slide their Adam's apple and swallowed secretly.

It was not until the King of Chu's anger slightly subsided that someone plucked up the courage to stand up and said carefully: "King, Xiangyang's supplies are cut off now, and the situation is in danger. For the sake of the present, I can only ask the Wu army to go north and open a road for the Xiangyang guards.

If you evacuate, otherwise you may be in danger of annihilation of the entire army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiang said, "The king should make a case for this matter and use the King of Wu to understand the interests of the people. If we move for one more day, our army will be more dangerous."

When he was asked to evacuate from Xiangyang, he couldn't bear to leave the giant city and strategic location. Now he wants to evacuate, but he can't evacuate anymore. He has to ask the Wu army to open up the situation.

Now, except for the imperial guards in the palace and some local miscellaneous soldiers, there is no regular army to be adjusted.

When the King of Chu heard this, he did not think much about it and immediately said, "The Prime Minister takes me to take a trip on my behalf, and be sure to ask the King of Wu to send troops."

"I accept the order." Chu Xiang bowed and bowed.

This is the purpose of Xiao Yuan deliberately letting go of military affairs, so that you, Wu Chu, can send troops to support you. As long as you dare to come, he will inevitably open the opening on the north bank of the Yangtze River, let the Wu army enter, and then encircle and annihilate it.
