Chapter 444 It’s over! (Please give me a tip to book all the monthly passes!)
Xiang Yan looked at these tall and handsome men, feeling extremely helpless.

The country has been ruined by morons like you, who don't want to make progress, only know how to enjoy leisure and work, and are greedy for pleasure.

Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel sad, "Sincerely asking our Chu army to withdraw today is like the rhinoceros pulling out its own teeth. In the future, we will only wait for the Qin army to attack and plunder our Chu country, and our Chu country will have no power to fight back."

These generals still didn't look at Xiang Yan, just looked at the table.

When Xiang Yan saw this scene, her heart felt extremely desolate.

"General, we would not dare to fight against the Qin State except for us. It's just that the Qin State has many soldiers and we are outnumbered. A head-on confrontation will only result in numerous casualties for our Chu army. It is better to find other strategies, use retreat to advance, and save our Chu State first. The army set up an ambush halfway."

"The general once said that on the territory of our Chu State, the Qin army is like a bird that has lost its wings. They can't move at all except falling into the swamp, let alone what they can do."

"Instead of confronting the Qin army head-on here, it is better to retreat in order to advance."

The Chu generals all said this, and it seemed to them that there was infinite vitality behind them.

Xiang Yan's original persistence suddenly seemed as light as a feather in the face of the unanimous opposition of more than a dozen generals.

The Qin army that occupied the border between Qin and Chu led their army to rest where they were.

"I've long wanted to go back and deal with them."

When Xiang Yan heard this, she felt a sigh of relief in her chest.

Xiang Yan slowly closed his eyes, raised his lips as if moving two mountains, pointed his fingers in the air, and said helplessly:
"retreat."

The generals looked at Xiang Yan, as if he was about to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

"Let's collect our troops and retreat."

"The Kingdom of Chu is about to end!"

When the generals dispersed one by one to mobilize their troops, Wang Jian looked at the map. Once such a big hole was opened, it would be a flood breaking the embankment.

Whether happy or sad, confused or afraid, everyone involuntarily ran towards home.

After the sun sets, the wind blows, the clouds roll in the sky, and the bright moon is exposed.

Xiang Yan looked at these Chu generals and saw that even the generals had no fighting spirit. What confidence did the soldiers fighting in front of the formation have?

For example, if a child loses a fight outside, the first thing he does is to go home to find his mother; the Chu army, which had not gained any upper hand in the battle with Qin, had a few teeth knocked out, so naturally they screamed to go home.

Some are very happy because they have just survived a battlefield where everyone was expected to die.

"Yes, General. And looking back, there is still Wang Ben, who is not afraid of death, occupying our city father."

Xiang Yan stood up straight, still holding the talisman given to him by the King of Chu in his hand. He looked at the bright red sunset falling on the ground outside the door, and the scene of a bloody fight between the Chu soldiers and the Qin army appeared in front of his eyes.

On the chariot, some Chu soldiers sobbed, crying for their brothers and father who had just died;

At this time, the generals were still unruly and said, "General, don't worry, we are just retreating temporarily today. This is just to lure the enemy deeper. Once the Qin army enters our territory of Chu, they will be nothing but poisonous insects and snakes. It’s enough to cause countless casualties to the Chu army.”

When the officers and soldiers of the Chu army saw this, joy suddenly appeared on their faces.

The Chu army whimpered and rushed towards home, but the Qin army behind them had no intention of stopping.

The noisy voices on the ground gradually faded away, leaving only the rumble of chariots and the galloping hooves of horses.

The 600,000 Qin troops rushed in together, like a pack of wolves entering a sheepfold, and the Chu people had no choice but to be slaughtered.

In front of thousands of tents, countless torches and bonfires were lit.

In the Chinese army's tent, Fusu had a premonition that they were going back to recapture Chengfu. Fusu immediately ordered, "Send the order to the general guarding Chengfu and order him to guard Chengfu. Our army's support will arrive immediately. If necessary, we can abandon it." Let’s leave the city. Remember, you don’t need the city, but everyone must survive for me!”

After listening to the order, the scout was inexplicably stunned for a while, "Wei!" Then he received the order and headed to Chengfu's territory at night.

Wang Ben stepped forward, "Prince, should we recall General Ren and the others?"

Fusu looked at the map. In front of his right hand was Pingyu.

Let Li Xin taste the defeat!
"No need! Now that the Chu army is retreating in large numbers, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be low. And judging from Xiang Yan's previous actions, the defense of Pingyu City will definitely be empty."

Wang Ben's eyes lit up, "Prince, you want them to attack Pingyu."

"Exactly."

Fusu looked at the map, as if he knew every landmark on it.

"I ordered people to secretly investigate Pingyu's guards before. They said that there are less than 10,000 people in Pingyu City."

"I know that in order to resist the Qin army, Chu State summoned almost all its soldiers, with the purpose of resisting our attack. Now, he has retreated, which means that Chu State has given up its last chance."

Wang Ben sincerely praised, "Prince, if it hadn't been for the prince's last battle at Changge, where he wiped out 100,000 Chu soldiers, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't have ended so quickly."

Fusu said, "Everything is always changing. Strike first and strike later to be controlled by others. If I had been soft-hearted and the strength of Chu State had not been reduced, their strength would naturally not be what it is today."

"Back to business. This time we attack Pingyu, you will go too."

"Me? Are you alone, the prince?" Wang Ben was most worried about the prince's safety.

Before the trip, the king personally told him that he must protect the prince's safety at all times.

"You don't want to go? Should I go?"

"Prince, that's not what I meant. It's just that when I leave, who will protect you?"

"I'm going to pursue the Chu army and rendezvous with General Feng and the others. When you capture Pingyu and leave enough defenders behind, you can advance to Juyang City. I'll give you 40,000 troops. When the time comes, you, Ren Xiao and the others will There are one hundred thousand troops.”

"Prince, I would rather disobey this order than agree to it."

"why?"

"Prince, you have given us the most dangerous errands, and you are going to chase the Chu army with 200,000 soldiers and horses. As the saying goes, don't chase the poor enemy."

"If the prince does this, he will inevitably encounter a full counterattack by the Chu army, and something big will happen."

Fusu looked serious, "Do you think I can't handle it?"

"Prince, I don't mean this." Wang Ben quickly clasped his fists and bowed.

"If you don't go, who should I let go?"

Wang Ben had already had an idea, "The prince can send General Sima Xin. He can break the city. Then I will leave the matter of defending the city to Yang Duan."

Fusu smiled and said, "You are worthy of being the son of Marquis Wu Cheng. I think with General Wang's ability, after this battle, the general can also be worshiped as a marquis. The father and son of the same family are both marquises. Looking at our Qin country, that is It’s just you, the Wang family.”

Wang Ben didn't dare to be happy.

He knew that the prince had complaints in his heart, but disobedience was just disobedience.

No matter how unhappy the prince is, as long as he can save his life, the king will save his life when the time comes.

It's better than letting the prince show off his power in a moment of pleasure, and if something goes wrong, his life will be the first to be in danger.
