Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 164 The New King
Although there are many cities in Huaibei of Chu State, they have almost emptied out the old bottom of these cities during the year of stalemate with Qin State.

Xiang Yan led [-] Chu troops and passed through more than ten counties in a row, only a little supplement of food and grass, and few weapons and armor.

At this time, the Qin army led by Meng Wu and Li Xin had also crossed the Sui River, and everywhere they passed was indifferent. Every city without soldiers, the Qin army surrendered one after another as soon as they arrived.

And Xiang Yan, who was under-armed, did not have the ability to compete with the Qin army, so he had to run and chase one by one. In just one month, the two armies traveled all over the land of Huaibei.

Slowly, Xiang Yan discovered that at this time, the entire Huaibei had almost been included in the Qin State's pocket, and he had no area to continue to transfer.

Xiang Yan, who was desperate, had to lead the Chu army to abandon the entire Huaibei, and cross the Huaihe River south to Guangling City for repairs.

Fortunately, after the Qin army unified Huaibei, they were not led south immediately, which also gave Xiang Yan a certain breathing space.

After Xiang Yan settled down, he immediately sent a large number of scouts west to find out the situation in Shouchun City.

After preparing to replenish armaments in Huainan, go west to Shouchun to guard Chudu.

However, one day later, some scouts reported that they had caught a sneaky man on the way to Shouchun, and found a jade document on him that only belonged to the royal family of Chu.

Moreover, after this person found out where they belonged, he said that there was an extremely urgent matter to speak to General Xiang Yan personally.

The scout didn't dare to hesitate, so he had to take him back immediately and report to Xiang Yan.

As soon as Xiang Yan heard this, he immediately ordered the man to be brought into the tent.

"Mr. Qi, how could you be in such a mess!" Seeing the person, Xiang Yan immediately got up from the handsome case to greet him.

The person who came was none other than the former Lord Changping of the Qin State whom Ziying had been searching for all over the place—the current son of the State of Chu, Xiong Qi.

Among the princes of the state of Chu, Lord Changping was the only one who could fall into Xiang Yan's eyes. Both Wen Tao and Wu Lue belonged to the top. When Li Xin conquered Chu earlier, if Xiong Qi hadn't turned against Ying Chen .

In that war, it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose!
"It's hard to explain in one word!" Xiong Qi lamented, and slowly explained the matter of Shouchun to Xiang Yan.

It turned out that as soon as the Qin army crossed the Huaihe River, Xiong Qi felt that there was nothing he could do, so he slipped out of Chudu quietly, hid in the nearby forests, and watched the changes.

Until the Qin army broke through Shouchun, he inquired about the situation in the city, and learned that the Qin army bought his head with a thousand gold, so he fled all the way to the Huainan area that had not been occupied by the Qin army, until he was discovered by the scouts sent by Xiang Yan.

But in his mouth, he absconded from Shouchun City just after Shouchun City was broken.

After hearing Xiong Qi's words, Xiang Yan, a strong general of Chu State, couldn't help feeling sad from his heart.

The king of Chu committed suicide and all the royal family of Chu were killed!Xiang Yan, who was loyal to Chu State, heard that this was no less than a bolt from the blue.

With a "bang", Xiang Yan knelt heavily in the direction of Xixi Shouchun.

"Xiang Yan failed to be with the king, resulting in the loss of the country and the humiliation of the king. The crime will not be forgiven!" As he spoke, tears were like a spring.

After a long time, Xiang Yan seemed to suddenly think of something, she stood up abruptly and knelt down to Xiong Qi who was standing beside her.

"I, Great Chu, suffered a catastrophe. The king died for the country, and the members of the clan were also killed for him. After the surname Mi, only the son is also." Xiang Yan stared at Xiong Qi closely and said: "Wu, the more dangerous the Yangtze River is, The place is more than a thousand miles away, and it is still possible to establish a country, and I hope that you will not abandon the Chu country!"

What Xiang Yan said shocked the world, the meaning in the words was clearly that he planned to support Xiong Qi as king, and Xiong Qi, who was not prepared at all, was stunned for a moment.

Fang wanted to refuse, but then he thought, if he didn't agree, Da Chu would really die!

Although there are still some offshoots of the Mi surname in some lands where the king was enshrined, but none of them can make it to the stage. Now the orthodoxy of the Chu State is left alone.

Xiong Qi undoubtedly has deep feelings for the Chu State, if not for this, he would not let the prime minister of the Qin State and Lord Changping not be good, and lead the army to rebel.

Thinking of this, Xiong Qi could only solemnly nod his head and agree.

The Qin army has broken through Shouchun, and even staying in Huainan is not so safe. Under Xiang Yan's suggestion, the Chu army went south across the Yangtze River to station troops in Jinling City, and made Changping Lord Xiong Qi the king of Chu. The new army repaired the city.

At this time, Wang Jian and Ziying had no time to continue attacking Xiang Yan's remnant army.

After learning that the Qin army had conquered the capital of Chu and wiped out Huaibei, the king of Qin Zhao Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately decided to go on a parade in Shouchun like Zhao Guo did.

Naturally, Wang Jia was not as fast as marching and fighting, and he arrived in Shouchun City after more than a month.

"Your Majesty Wang Jian/Ziying, welcome the King!" Outside Shouchun City, Wang Jian and Ziying led the generals who attacked Chu to welcome King Qin into the city respectfully outside the city.

It was night when Zhao Zheng set up wine and a banquet, and everyone could see that King Qin was in high spirits at this time.

All the generals received very generous rewards, among which Wang Jianziying was the most generous, and Li Xin, who had committed crimes and made great contributions, was also reinstated as an official because of his performance in the battle against Chu.

On the second day until the sun rose three poles, Qin Wangfang woke up from the hangover, which was very rare for the diligent Qin Wang.

After washing up for a while, the eunuch Zhao Gao, the confidant of the King of Qin, came over: "Your Majesty, His Highness Chang'an Jun and General Wang Jian have been waiting outside for a long time since the morning, and they didn't dare to disturb you when they saw that you were sleeping soundly. ..."

"Quickly announce it!" Hearing this, Zhao Zhengfang recalled that he had asked the two of them to meet today when the banquet was over yesterday.

Wang Jian and Ziying, who had just conquered the capital of Chu, can be said to be the important ministers of the country in the heart of King Qin at this moment.

"Kowtow to the king!"

"Exemption!" Zhao Zhengyi waved his hands and said enthusiastically: "The battle to break Chu is all thanks to the two generals, and there will be another reward when they return to Xianyang."

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject and continued: "Xiang Yan made the rebel Xiong Qi the king of Chu, and stationed troops in the Jianghuai area, how about it?"

Although the king of Chu had already been put to death, like Zhao, Qin did not completely capture Chu. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, and Xiong Qi, the former king of Changping of Qin, became a thorn in Qin's heart at this time.

The reason why Qin State tolerated the surviving of the Dai State for several years was because the land of Dai was bitterly cold and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, there are still Huns in the north of Dai State. Once Dai State is captured, a certain amount of troops must be allocated to defend against the Huns. With the Central Plains still undecided, Qin State obviously does not want to waste its troops here.

However, the situation in Chu State is different. Xiong Qizeng was Prime Minister of Qin State and Xiang Yan was the Great General of Chu State.
