Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 163
In the big Chudu, the last resistance force disappeared in smoke.

Wang Jian and Ziying stood side by side, stepping up the steps leading to King Chu's bedroom. Two lines of Qin soldiers trotted along the front of them. A number of soldiers with shields first guarded the two of them, and the soldiers of the Qin Army who had been waiting in front of the gate kicked open the gate of the palace.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of blood rushed towards his face. Through the gap in the shield, Ziying looked in suspiciously, and saw a hall of corpses lying in disorder in the bedroom of Lu Chu, and a touch of blood in the middle of the hall A middle-aged man wearing a sky-high crown hangs from the white silk.

"Look for the royal family of Chu and identify their identities!" Wang Jian ordered.

Although both of them had already come to a conclusion, neither Ziying nor Wang Jian had ever seen King Chu of Chu's appearance, so it would be more appropriate to confirm it to be on the safe side.

After a while, an old man was escorted in by the generals of the Qin army. As soon as the old man entered the door and saw the man hanging from the beam, he seemed to be greatly stimulated. The two strong Qin army guards couldn't even Buckle it up.

The old man threw himself down in the middle of the hall, tightly hugging the hanging corpse.

"The king of He Tan, he abandoned his country!" The old man cried bitterly.

At this time, the guard who escorted the old man stepped forward and bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I report to Lord Chang'an, General, this man's name is Qu Shao, he is the longest member of the royal family of Chu, and he is well-known in the state of Chu. People crown it with the name of the country, and call it Duke Nan of Chu."

Judging from the performance of this person, the one who hanged himself from the beam should be the king of Chu's culprit, and the corpses lying in disorder in the hall should be the children of the concubines of the king of Chu, judging from their clothes and age.

Presumably, King Chu of Chu killed his own flesh and blood first, and then hanged himself.

Chu Nangong hugged the dead body and cried for a while, then gradually stopped crying, cast a sharp glance at Ziying and Ying who were standing side by side, and said sharply: "You wait for the Qin bandits to wantonly destroy the country. Family, the sacrifice of a peerless man, how can the heavens bear to punish you!"

"If you talk about destroying the country and destroying the family, haven't you done a lot in Chu?" Ziying said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says that Nangong is so wise, can't you even see this clearly? Unity!"

Chu State was just a sub-state in the first place, trapped in a corner of the land. After hundreds of years of fighting, Chu State now has a vast area of ​​thousands of miles, and the number of countries that have been destroyed is not ordinary.

"The country of tyrants, tigers and wolves bullies my king and invades our land. I hate it (cursed meaning). The country will perish in the next generation!" Chu Nangong spat a thick phlegm on the ground and cursed.

A highly respected and respected magi will spit and curse like a villager, which is enough to show Chu Nangong's anger.

Hearing Chu Nangong's words, the surrounding guards were immediately furious, and they took up their weapons and went forward to kill him.

With a wave of his hand, Ziying stopped the soldiers from moving.

"The second generation died?" Maybe it was true in history, but since he came, he would definitely not let Daqin continue to follow the old path in history.

Ziying glanced at King Chu's palace and said with a soft smile, "The royal family of Chu is nothing more than Qu, Zhao, and Jing. How can Qin be destroyed with these!"

"Pass down the order to kill Qu, Zhao, and Jing of the Chu Kingdom!" Ziying's face suddenly paled, and he ordered.

"No!" After receiving the order, one of the guards turned around and walked out of the hall to deliver the military order.

The appeal of the royal family of Chu among the people of Chu is indeed extraordinary. Even Xiang Yu, the later overlord of Western Chu, had to respect the Queen of Chu as Emperor Yi after enfeoffing the feudal lords, as the nominal co-lord of the world.

Ziying's move was just to prevent future troubles. Although Wang Jian didn't understand why Ziying issued this military order, the royal family of Chu was nothing but subjugated people, and if they were killed, they would be killed.

Hearing Ziying's military order, Chu Nangong's face turned red at that time, pointed at Ziying with trembling hands and said fiercely: "Chu is so big, you can't kill them all. Although Chu has three families, Qin must die!"

After saying that, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.

The guards at the side hurried forward to check it out, and replied: "General, Mr. Chang'an, this man committed suicide by biting his tongue."

"Let's incinerate together!" Wang Jian sadly ordered.

Apparently, this series of events in the palace of Chu made this veteran who had fought all his life not in a good mood.

The battles that Wang Jian has experienced are definitely not rare. The first battle of the king of Chu is definitely not a huge one, but it is particularly tragic. After this battle, except for a few noble officials, there is no strong and strong man in his life. .

"If the army on the front line of Chu has such bravery, it will be difficult for us, Great Qin, to take one step out of Hangu Pass!" Wang Jian sighed inexplicably.

"When two armies meet, there is no right or wrong, but each has its own master. If I don't kill someone, I will be killed by others. Don't be sad, general!" Ziying comforted him calmly.

Immediately he turned around and left King Chu's bedroom. Looking at Ziying's leaving back, Wang Jian was also in a daze for a moment, as if he was not facing a young man who was not as weak as a crown, but an old monster who had gone through thousands of years of trials and hardships.

At noon the next day, Ziying's military order to kill the royal family of Chu had also been executed, and a member of the school returned to Ziying to report.

"Mr. Chang'an, there are a total of 250 members of the royal family in the capital of Chu, all of whom have been killed, except..."

Seeing the sergeant's hesitation, Ziying also heard the unspoken voice and asked, "Except for what?"

"Xiong Qi, Lord Changping, disappeared before the siege of the city, and we have searched Shouchun all over and found no trace of him." The guard said honestly.

"Pass down the order that Xiong Qi is wanted throughout the country, and anyone who punishes him will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" Ziying continued to order.

Others don't know, but Ziying clearly remembers that in history, after the Chu kings were destroyed.Xiang Yan supported him as King of Chu in Huainan, and the one who continued to fight against Qin was this Changping Lord Xiong Qi, why did he let him run away again!
"Thank you!"

At this time, Xiang Yan's situation was definitely not good. After crossing the Sui River forcibly, Xiang Yan made a brief statistics, and there were only 40 Chu troops left over 8.

More than 30 Chu soldiers died in one battle.

And in order to reduce their own load as much as possible, so that they can swim through the Sui River smoothly, these Chu soldiers basically discarded everything they could throw away.

Weapons, armor, food and grass were all left in the rolling water.

Except for the wet clothes they were wearing, the [-] remnants of the Chu army had nothing left.

The Qin army on the other side has already started cutting wood for rafts, preparing to forcibly cross the Sui River.Attacking the enemy when crossing the water has always been the best strategy for military strategists, but these unarmed Chu troops dare not, and they don't even have the courage to stay on the spot.

Xiang Yan reorganized his troops on the east bank of the Suishui River, and then led his troops eastward.
