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

Chapter 610 Eighteen gold medals summon Xiang Yan! The King of Chu asked him to betray his country and seek glory!

"go ahead!!!"

"Seize the city! Kill the powerful bird!"

Screams suddenly resounded throughout Helu City.

Three thousand Qi army warriors shouldered their huge shields and marched forward in neat steps.

Behind the three thousand Qi army warriors, five thousand Zhao'an soldiers carried poles on their shoulders and carried two loads of loess, closely following behind the shield formation.

The shields stacked up like fish scales blocked the crossbow bolts thrown from Helu City for the Qin and Qi Allied Forces, and also allowed the Qin and Qi Allied Forces to approach the trenches of Helu City with only three people injured.

The Zhao'an army hurriedly dumped the loess in the poles, and then retreated again under the protection of the Qi army warriors.

If you raise the angle of view, the Qin-Qi coalition forces are like ants, transporting gravel firmly but slowly, trying to fill the deep dent outside Helu City.

Tian Zhen clicked his tongue when he saw this and said, "This city is very strong!"

After pondering for a long time, Ying Chengyu suddenly looked at Su Jiao: "Su Jiao, do you still remember your skills in the past?"

But in a siege of this scale, having only one passable road is definitely a recipe for death.

"Now Qin Chang'an Lord has led an army of 200,000 to attack Helu City. If Helu City falls, our army will be a great victory and a great defeat!"

But Ying Chengyu didn't like the feeling that the battle was in the hands of the enemy.

In fact, Xiang Yan and all the generals in the Chu army knew what was written in this decree without opening it.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, withdraw your troops!"

"Then Danyang is the ancestral land that our great Chu should fight for!"

I don't like it very much!

"Although the land of Wuyue originally belonged to the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Yue, today, the land of Wuyue is the foundation of our great Chu."

If Ying Chengyu wants to face the city wall directly, he must at least fill up all the trenches along all strategic routes and fill up all the trenches around the main battlefield!

"The purpose of our army is not to conquer Helu City, but to pose an increasingly severe strategic threat to the kings and ministers of the Chu State, and to continuously tighten the rope around the necks of the kings and ministers of the Chu State."

When this battle can be won depends entirely on when Xiang Yan can no longer withstand the pressure from King Qi of Chu and chooses to retreat.

"Coupled with our army's continuous filling of trenches and constant threats to the walls of Helu City, our army will definitely be able to achieve success!"

"With Prime Minister Zuo's divisive remarks just now, Helu City must be in chaos now."

Tian Zhen looked at Ying Chengyu with stars in his eyes, and bowed his hands: "You are a great talent, Prime Minister!"

"Does Shangzhu State really want to sit back and watch our great Chu country perish?"

Almost all the generals are trying to persuade Xiang Yan to break through and withdraw his troops.

It is not difficult to fill a passable road with dirt.

What if Helu City falls and Wu Yue falls, even if they really win in Xiapi City?
More importantly, can they really win in Xiapi City!

Facing Xiang Yan's sudden divergent question, Qu Huan frowned slightly: "What does Shangzhuguo mean by this?"

Tian Zhen was suddenly enlightened and patted his forehead: "It's actually putting the cart before the horse."

But in the face of eighteen orders to withdraw, Xiang Yan is the only one in history who remained indifferent!
Even Ying Chengjiao had to call him an expert when he saw him, and Wei Liao would suddenly realize that Ying Chengjiao was actually quite obedient.

Xiapi City.

"Just relying on the trenches outside the city is enough to stop our army for more than a month!"

"The king has issued eighteen royal orders in a row, all urging our army to return to Helu City to aid!"

"In this way, Chu Shangzhu was forced to withdraw his troops and return reinforcements."

Qu Huan couldn't understand why Xiang Yan would be so determined to disobey the king's order!
Facing the generals' questioning, Xiang Yan raised his eyes and asked: "Is the land of Wu Yue Chu land?"

Su Jiao's heart moved and he galloped forward: "As long as the coach needs it, the final general will definitely succeed!"
-
Seven days later.

Facing Tian Zhen's praise, Ying Chengyu couldn't laugh.

Generals such as Dou Zhan, Jing Li, Zhao Yuan, etc. all started to persuade: "Shangzhu Kingdom, we can't wait any longer, let's break out at the right moment!"

Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Our great Chu was originally located in the southwest of the world, dominating the Chu land around Danyang."

Qu Huan paced back and forth anxiously in front of Xiang Yan, and then couldn't help but ask: "Shangzhu Kingdom, what do you want?"

"Yes, if our army continues to hold on here, we may indeed win a great victory, but the price of this great victory is the fall of the capital!"

Indeed, there are some arrogant and arrogant generals who shout that the generals will not accept the king's orders, and then they do not listen to the king's orders and act arbitrarily.

"How can we not count Chu Di?"

"Why has Shangzhu Kingdom still not set off to this day?"

Holding a fresh roll of Wang Ling in his hand, Xiang Yan did not open it, but looked at the mud seal on the Wang Ling with gloomy eyes.

"As long as Chu Shangzhu's troops withdraw to the south of the Huaihe River, it will be a victory for our army!"

Because every general received the message from the clan, and they were very clear about the crisis that Helu City was facing.

Even if the Qin-Qi coalition had 200,000 troops, how long would it take to complete this major project?
Ying Chengyu looked at Helu City with a cold gaze: "Not to mention more than a month, even a few months, our army can't afford to wait."

"It's just that our great Chu is currently in dire straits, and that's why we were trapped in the Wuyue land in the southeast."

"Of course, since you all think that Wu Yue is the foundation of our great Chu and want to defend it, why can't you think that the land of Lu is the foundation of our great Chu?"

A terrible thought arose in Qu Huan's heart, and he asked in disbelief: "What does Shangzhuguo mean..."

Xiang Yan said in a louder voice: "Since the Qin and Qi coalition forces want to seize the land of Wu and Yue, then I, the Chu State, will change homes with Qin and Qi!"

"The terrain of Lu is flat, with many fertile fields that have been cultivated for a long time. There are many green and strong villages in the countryside. It is truly a fertile land."

"If the land of Wu and Yue can be exchanged for the land of Lu, then even if our territory of Chu does not increase, our national power will increase dramatically!"

"For me, Da Chu, it is beneficial and harmless!"

Facing Xiang Yan's words, the generals were speechless and even felt a little excited in their hearts.

Is Wuyuedi a good place?
After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wuyue land was indeed a very excellent territory. But at the end of the Warring States Period, Wuyue was just a desolate and barren border land!

On the other hand, Lu Di?

During the Shang Dynasty, it was convenient for the Yan State to thrive and cultivate land here.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the state of Yan, Boqin, the son of Zhou Gongdan, established the state of Lu here and cultivated it carefully.

Today, the land of Lu has gone through more than a thousand years of improvement and is an excellent anointed land.

If the land of Wu and Yue is exchanged for the land of Lu, Chu will definitely not lose!

Qu Huan could not refute Xiang Yan, but the knowledge in his heart still drove Qu Huan to shake his head: "After all, our great Chu has been cultivating the land of Wuyue for a long time."

"How can I give it up easily?"

Xiang Yan retorted: "I, the great Chu, have been cultivating the land of Wu and Yue for a long time, and the state of Qin has been cultivating the land of Qin for even longer."

"However, when the Qin State was in crisis last year, the King of Qin decisively ordered the people in the capital to move to the southwest and made preparations to swim to Chu."

"The King of Qin spared no expense to the land of Qin in order to win, so why can't we, the great Chu, spare the land of Wu and Yue to become stronger?!"

Xiang Yan, like Qu Huan, always regarded the existing territory of Chu as fundamental and did not dare to touch it lightly.

But last year, Ying Zheng's decisive operation awakened Xiang Yan.

If it is possible that the hometown cannot be defended, there is another way to break the situation besides holding on.

Change home!

Find a better home!

After a pause, Xiang Yan's voice turned gentle: "However, although I have made psychological preparations to switch territories, this is only the worst outcome."

"Helv City is extremely strong!"

"The king has 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Helu City. Even an army of 500,000 will take some time to attack."

"Now Qin Chang'an Lord has led 200,000 troops to attack Helu City. I thought it would take at least half a year to break the city."

"And these six months are enough for our army to drag down the morale of the Qi army, sit back and watch the Qi army become chaotic, and defeat the enemy with one blow!"

"After our army defeats Qin General Jian's troops, we can send our troops south to annihilate Qin Chang'an Jun's troops and recapture the land of Wuyue!"

Xiang Yan stood up and looked at each general with fiery eyes: "After this battle, our great Chu can get rid of the trap of fatigue!"

"And all of you here can not only become the heroes of my great Chu, but also enjoy a large area of ​​royal food!"

Many generals were completely moved!
As long as the change of ownership is successful, Chu State will make money.

If the land of Wu and Yue can be kept after taking the land of Lu, then Chu will definitely make a lot of money!

Qu Huan suddenly turned his head and glared at Xiang Yan: "The Shangzhu Kingdom is using the king as bait!"

"Shangzhu State refused to return aid and sat back and watched Qin Chang'an lead his army south. Did he already have the idea of ​​using the king and Helu City to consume and involve the Qin army?"

"Is this the way to be a minister?"

The Kingdom of Chu did change kings frequently.

The dignitaries of Chu State did not have much respect for the King of Chu.

But the game between king and minister in Chu State has its own rules.

Xiang Yan's move is too bad!

Xiang Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty is fond of fishing. I think your Majesty will understand my general's intentions."

"If this battle can be won, the king will also be able to expand his territory and achieve unparalleled achievements. He will be worthy of his ancestors!"

Qu Huan took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about Shangzhu State that Lord Qin Chang'an is no ordinary general?"

"Helv City may be able to hold off other generals for half a year, but it may only take a few months to be defeated by Lord Qin Changan's troops!"

"What if Helv City is destroyed and the king dies in battle!"

Xiang Yan said calmly: "That means King Zhurong Buyou."

"We should jointly recommend promising people as kings!"

Qu Huan staggered and took a step back.

pass!

Everything works!

No wonder Xiang Yan didn't care about the cost of disobeying the king's order, let alone the punishment he would face after the battle.

It turned out to be because Xiang Yan had already made plans to change to King Chu!

In the government office, a famous general could not help but look at Xiong Liu.

If they could recommend anyone to be the King of Chu, then Xiong Liu would be their first and only choice!

Facing the various eyes, Xiong Liu stood up, bowed his hands, and said in a serious voice: "Not only has this king been the prime minister of Qin, but he has never set foot in our country before he ascended the throne!"

"After the current king ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to launch a war of alignment, which put our great Chu into such a predicament. If it weren't for the bravery of Shangzhu Kingdom and all the generals, our great Chu would have been destroyed!"

"Does the king really care about me now?"

"I am old and have no intention of becoming a high official."

"However, I cannot sit back and watch a traitor who lives in Chu and whose heart is in Qin become my king in Chu!"

"If Zhu Rong really doesn't bless this king, then I will support Shangzhu Kingdom and nominate a new king!"

Xiong Liu said some high-sounding nonsense.

Others didn't know why the battle developed like this, but all the generals present knew it clearly.

But Xiong Liu's nonsense gave him a great reputation.

It wasn't that Xiong Liu wanted to usurp the throne, it was actually him, King Qi of Chu, who betrayed his country and sought glory!
