My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 455: If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman! Live to die!

Zhuang Qiu was silent for a few moments and then shook his head: "I don't know the end of the general."

"I dare to ask your Majesty, if Lord Qin Chang'an really believes in your Majesty's handwriting and chooses to stay stationary outside the city."

"How should our department act?"

King Chu Chu glanced at Zhuang Qiu from the corner of his eye.

I have promoted you so that you can share my worries!

Now when you encounter difficulties, you only know how to ask others?

Even I don’t know!

Although King Chu had prepared more than a dozen baskets of backup plans, all plans were based on past intelligence and planned future actions.

The Chu King Fu Chu considered all aspects, but the former Chu King Fu Chu never expected that Ying Chengyu would suddenly change his temper, and the current Chu King Fu Chu did not know what Ying Chengyu was thinking.

"Even if the enemy is currently unprepared, what's the use!"

Zhuang Chou frowned slightly: "The general thought that the king did not want to fight, but only wanted peace."

"He, but he doesn't want to give up his land."

"It's a pity that the generals are timid and incompetent."

"I just want to rely on the walls of Helu City like a great rat to hold on and wait for help!"

Under such circumstances, any plan made by King Chu of Chu might not be as good as scaling the city wall and facing Ying Chenglong...

"That's why I think your Majesty may have created a good opportunity for a surprise attack."

"But judging from the future, if Lord Qin Changan really believes the king's handwriting, then Lord Qin Changan may weaken his defense."

"The Qin Army marched for 1,300 miles from E City to Helu City. Even if they had rested for a day, the Qin Army would not be able to complete their rest and recuperation. Instead, they would be as sore and weak as our army was when they just fled back to the city. Fight.”

"Since the king is willing to fight, the general is willing to give it a try!"

Facing an army of 180,000 led by Ying Chengxuan, Wang Jian, Yang Duan and these three generals, no one under the command of King Chu Chu could resist him!

Uh-huh!

Seeing that the King of Chu was silent for a long time, Zhuang Qiu continued: "I don't understand the thoughts of my colleagues in the court."

Who wants to lose if he can win?

All measures such as armed reform and weakening the powerful are just means to achieve the goal of rejuvenation and growth of Chu State!

If King Chu Chu had a general as good at fighting and loyal as Ying Chengyu, King Chu Chu would definitely have this person lead troops out of the city for a surprise attack as soon as the Qin army arrived, and then pursue the Qin army all the way and recapture it. Lost ground!

Unfortunately, he didn't.

The King of Chu held the cud in his hands and showed genuine surprise: "General Zhuang, is he interested in leaving the city for a surprise attack?"

"If the ministers in the court take this opportunity to go out of the city to attack at night and win a great victory, then the victory should be attributed to the king!"

The King of Chu held his cud and said coldly: "The Qin army has come for an expedition, which is a good opportunity for our army to make a surprise attack."

Zhuang Qiu looked at King Chu of Chu and said, "The last general mistakenly thought that the king had no intention of fighting, so he did not come forward to honor the promise when the king ordered the general."

The King of Chu's voice was filled with anger: "If we can win, how can I humble myself and ask for peace?"

Zhuang Chou nodded: "In just a few days, Lord Qin Chang'an will realize that he can't wait for the envoy, nor can he wait for his troops to stop."

"War, don't dare to go out of the city for a surprise attack."

"At that time, Lord Qin Chang'an will definitely attack Helu City, and it may be difficult for our city to resist."

"Even if we block the Qin army, our troops will have rested and reorganized at that time. We will definitely be ordered by Ling Yin to go to the city to guard the city, and we will suffer a lot of damage in the battle."

"Instead of doing this, I will think it's better to take a risk!"

King Chu frowned slightly: "General Zhuang, do you think he has any chance of winning?"

What qualifications do you have to do something that even Xiang Yan, Zhaocen and others dare not do?

King Chu of Chu responded with absolute distrust to Zhuang Qiu's request for war.

Zhuang Qiu also said calmly: "Less than 10%!"

"Those who are born as generals have never read the military books thoroughly."

"Although I fought some battles when I was pretending to be a bandit, I was really unable to compete with the current generals such as Qin Chang'an Lord and Qin General Jian."

Seeing that Zhuang Qiu was still a little self-aware, King Chu's frown widened: "But, Ai Qing still asks for a fight!"

Zhuang Qiu nodded and said: "I think that even if the chance of winning is less than 10%, I can still give it a try!"

"If we can win by chance under the protection of King Hongfu, we will not only be able to solve Helu's difficulties, but also be able to reverse the situation of the war."

"In this battle, the territories that the Qin State has invaded will be spit out. We, the Great Chu, can still take advantage of the weakness of the Qin State to return to Jianghan along the march route of the Shangzhu State and regain the ancestral land of the Great Chu!"

Zhuang Qiu squeezed out a little smile: "What the ministers and generals couldn't do, the king made the last general do it."

"This further proves the incompetence of the ministers and the wisdom of the king, which will definitely strengthen the king's reputation!"

The future outlined by Zhuang Qiu is very beautiful.

If Zhuang Qiu can really defeat the Qin army, Chu will not only not lose its territory, but also expand its territory significantly!

As a person who single-handedly promoted Zhuang Qiu, King Chu Chu's victory would bring huge benefits to King Chu Chu, giving Chu King Chu Chu a chance to purge the court and complete the reform even without carrying out armed reforms. political reform!

But could the King of Chu not think of these benefits?

The King of Chu was not moved at all, and asked directly: "Have you ever thought about it, my beloved?"

"If my beloved is defeated, what price will my great Chu bear?"

Zhuang Qiu said seriously: "The last general will probably be defeated."

"But the fact that the generals leave the city for a night attack can make Qin Chang'an understand how serious the contradictions within Chu are, and it can also dispel his illusion of waiting to stop the troops."

"Qin Chang'an Lord is more likely to be angry because of our sneak attack, and then follow our army to send troops to attack Helu City immediately!"

"This will not only cause heavy losses to the troops under the common people's command, but will also create weaknesses in the Qin army, making it easier for the generals to defeat the Qin army!" Zhuang Qiu bowed his hand and said, "The last general will not penetrate deep into the enemy's army."

"Even if our army is defeated, the general will fight to the death and let as many of our soldiers flee back to Helu City without delaying the king's plan!"

Zhuang Qiu's plan is simple and superficial.

However, King Chu was moved.

Although the defeat of Zhuang Qiu's troops is very likely, the losses are controllable, and it is possible to break the current calm and drag the development of the war back to the script of the King of Chu.

What if we win... Then the dilemma faced by Chu State and King Chu can be solved in one battle!

With low risk and high returns, how could the King of Chu not be tempted?

But the King of Chu shook his head gently with his face in his hands: "This strategy is too dangerous."

"The Zhao'an Army is a force that I have high hopes for, and it cannot be used lightly to take risks."

Zhuang Qiu said in a deep voice: "The general is only going to take 3,000 elite soldiers who have recovered from the city out of the city, and the rest of the troops will stay in the city."

"Zhao'an Junpao Ze will not suffer many casualties."

The King of Chu held the cud in his hands with a surprised look on his face: "Three thousand?!"

"General Zhuang wants to lead only 3,000 troops to attack the 180,000-strong army at night?!"

Zhuang Chou nodded: "A night attack does not require many troops."

"As long as our troops can disrupt the enemy's army, the enemy's troops will trample each other to death."

"And if our army is defeated, the loss of three thousand soldiers and horses will not hinder the king's overall plan."

Zhuang Qiu once again added a chip to the scale in King Chu's heart.

If only three thousand Zhao'an troops left the city to fight, even if the entire army was annihilated, it would not ruin King Chu's overall plan.

The King of Chu said in a serious voice: "No!"

"General Zhuang is my favorite general. How can I bear to let General Zhuang embark on a battlefield where defeat is almost certain?"

Zhuang Qiu squeezed out a hint of emotion and suddenly handed over his hand: "Zhuang is an orphan, and he is a waiting one. He deserves to die in the dark streets."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not giving up. I will be promoted to the last general of Chu."

"The last general realizes that his abilities are low and not as good as those of other generals."

"It's just that the battle is almost certain to be defeated, so the last general has the courage to ask for a battle."

"The general also knows that this battle is dangerous."

"However, you treat me as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman. Even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

The King of Chu carried Chu and hurriedly helped Zhuang Qiu up: "General Zhuang, please get up quickly!"

"I know that General Zhuang is eager to repay his kindness, but he cannot spare his own life!"

"Only by leaving it to be useful, can you and I, our monarchs and ministers, seek benefits for the great Chu and Guizhou leaders in the future!"

After hearing what Chu King Fu Chu said, Zhuang Chou thought that Chu King Fu Chu was going to veto his proposal.

But before Zhuang Qiu could speak, King Chu Chu changed his tone: "Three thousand troops are too few and too dangerous."

"General Zhuang should at least lead five thousand soldiers and horses to go on the expedition, otherwise, I will not allow this strategy!"

Zhuang Qiu's expression stiffened for a moment.

He hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hands: "General, I will obey!"

"The King's favor will be remembered forever!"

The King of Chu looked at Zhuang Chou with gentle eyes full of hope: "I don't want to win this battle, but I want to be able to drink with General Zhuang!"

Zhuang Qiu nodded vigorously: "The final general will fight back to Helu City at all costs!"
-

The cock crows the next day (1:00).

Under the deep night, a gap slowly opened in the north gate of Helu City.

A Zhao'an soldier wearing leather armor quietly slipped out of the city along the gap.

Upstairs at the city gate, Zhao Cen watched Zhao'an's army being swallowed up by the night, with doubts in his eyes: "Didn't the former king resist the war with all his strength and work hard to promote a truce?"

"Now that the Qin army has not taken the initiative to attack the city, why did the king change his mind?"

Although for every day that Ying Chengyu held his troops, Helv City had to hold on for one less day, and the chances of it being breached were also one less.

But no one thought that Ying Chengyu would change his temper for no reason. All the generals were thinking about Ying Chengyu's possible strategies and were waiting with fear for the Qin army's attack.

As a result, the King of Chu suddenly changed his attitude. Instead of seeking a truce, he sent troops to prepare for a sneak attack on the Qin army!

Zhaocen and other court officials felt that their heads were filled with questions.

This battle was too weird!

Jingchou said softly: "I have never seen the king's order, nor have I seen the eunuch beside the king walking with him."

"Whether the king has changed his mind or whether this Zhuang Chou has changed his mind is yet to be determined."

"But no matter who has changed his mind, it is good news for me, Dachu."

Zhaocen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Even if the King of Chu still didn't change his mind, as long as the Zhao'an army is willing to participate in the war, they can harvest a large amount of cannon fodder to reduce the sacrifices of the children of all races!

Zhaocen raised his head and looked in the direction where Zhuang Qiu's troops disappeared, and murmured softly:

"I don't know what the general wants."

"Of course, I hope the general returns with a great victory!"
