Competing

Chapter 463
In the six county towns, Yingbu had just inspected the city wall.

After retreating in the Huai River area, the troops of Jiujiang Kingdom had no choice but to retreat to the six counties of the capital, relying on the last hold of the city.

Now the soldiers have all stood on the top of the city, starting the best defense mission. The army of the Western Chu Kingdom has surrounded the city, and the situation is very serious.

Yingbo also clearly saw that all the soldiers under his command were downcast, not to mention low morale, but still in a deep worry.

How to fight in such a situation?It is not an opponent of the Western Chu army at all, and it seems that this city will not last long. Seeing this situation, Yingbo couldn't help feeling a little disheartened.Jiujiang Kingdom still did not escape such a fate, and finally ended up like this, it can be said that there is a lot of helplessness.

But what can I do now?He couldn't even beat a dragon, let alone Xiang Yu shot directly.Perhaps it was a mistake to confront the Western Chu Kingdom from the very beginning!Yingbo sighed and walked towards the palace.

On the main hall of the royal palace, the current Jiujiang State Military Command is located here.When Yingbo came back, most of the generals had been ordered to do things, and there was only one person empty in the hall.

Yingbo looked up and saw that it was Suihe, the envoy of Liu Bang, king of Han!

Sui He has not left since he came to Jiujiang. The purpose of his trip was to persuade Yingbo to rebel against Chu. I have to mention that he accomplished it beautifully.King Yingbu of Jiujiang really fell to the Han Dynasty and killed the envoys of the Western Chu Kingdom, and then the two countries went to war.

This is exactly what the King of Han wanted to see. After completing these tasks, Sui He could have returned to Xingyang to do business, and he would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.But Liu Bang's reply to him was that he hoped that he would express support for Jiujiang on behalf of Han, and let him stay in Jiujiang, which can be regarded as showing the sincerity of the alliance between the two countries.

During this period of time, the Jiujiang Kingdom and the West Chu Kingdom fought fiercely in the Huai River area, but the situation was not optimistic. The Jiujiang Army has been showing a situation of retreating steadily.This made Sui He very worried, but he was relieved immediately. The reason why the Han Kingdom formed an alliance with the Jiujiang Kingdom was because they hoped that Yingbo would restrain Xiang Yu from behind.However, the length of containment can only be one day longer. After all, the strength of Jiujiang State is far inferior to that of Xichu State, and they don't expect them to be able to delay for too long.

During the battle between Yingbu and Longqie, the Western Chu Kingdom has not been able to send troops to attack the Xingyang area on a large scale, which is already a very good achievement.Moreover, during this period of time, Marshal Han Xin of the Han Army also took the opportunity to lead his army to conquer the Wei Kingdom in the east and west of the river, and achieved very good results. From these aspects alone, the Han Kingdom has already gained a lot.

To put it bluntly, the use value of Jiujiang country has almost been maximized, and it doesn't make much sense to stay in Jiujiang country anymore.Moreover, Long Qi had already led an army to besiege the city, so staying here was undoubtedly waiting for death.This is not the desired result, and I certainly can't just die in Jiujiang country like this.

For such a great achievement this time, after returning to Xingyang, the King of Han rewarded him for his meritorious deeds and conferred a title of title!It would be so uneconomical and meaningless to just die in Jiujiang country like this.So personally, he really wanted to get out of this dangerous situation.To be honest, he regretted why he didn't leave before the siege.

Otherwise, it is now safe and sound out of danger.Of course, he also knew very well that if he left like this, Han would undoubtedly be accused of abandoning his allies.Even if he returned to Xingyang, I'm afraid Liu Bang, the king of Han, would still blame him.

Furthermore, the use value of Jiujiang Kingdom is almost squeezed out.But the value of Jiujiang Wang Yingbu is still great, and it is undoubtedly very useful to win him over to the Han Dynasty, at least he recruited a general who can recruit and fight well.The best result is to pull Yingbu to escape together, and return to Xingyang to take him together, which can be regarded as a complete merit, an absolute great achievement.However, what Yingbo put out was indeed a plan to stick to the city and fight to the end, which was not in his interest.

So Mr. Sui He came to the palace hall early, just to wait for Jiujiang Wang Yingbu, use his three-inch tongue, try his best to persuade him, and follow him to leave for Xingyang.

"Your Majesty, you're back?" Seeing Yingbo's face, he knew that the situation was very bad. The six counties would not be able to hold on for long.If you stay here, the danger will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Ying Bo nodded slightly, he didn't have a good impression of Sui He.Ever since Sui He made his own claim that day and deliberately used the situation to force himself to kill the envoy of the Western Chu Kingdom, there was a wave of anger in his heart, but he just kept holding it back.And as the situation worsened, Yingbo still had a feeling that he was deceived by He He and ended up like this.

Sui He mentioned at the beginning that once he went to war with Western Chu, the Han army might provide help in some ways.But in fact, except for an easy-going mouth, no one came at all. Instead, they received the news of the Hedong conquest by the Han army.It seems that Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, undoubtedly regarded himself as a fool in exchange for time, and the anger in Yingbu's heart was more projected on this Mr. Sui He.

Seeing Sui He's face today, Ying Bu knew that it would definitely not be a good thing, but he still had to deal with it patiently.After all, once the city is broken, if you want to have a chance of survival, you can only die and leave Han.The nearby Hengshan Kingdom was his father-in-law's home, but he didn't want to bring the war disaster to his father-in-law.The most is to send his wife and son there to escape temporarily, which is already the maximum.

Ying Bu said in a deep voice, "Is there anything you can do, Mr. Sui He?"

Sui He said: "Your Majesty, I really want to discuss something with you when I come here!"

"Sir, tell me straight!" Ying Bo cut to the point, and now he doesn't want to waste time going around in circles with Sui He.

Sui He said: "Your Majesty, I am very sorry for the current situation of Jiujiang Kingdom. Now the Chu army has besieged the city. Even with Your Majesty and the warriors of Jiujiang Kingdom standing firm, I think it will not last long. The city is lost. It can be taken back again, talent is the most fundamental, so I came here to ask the king to break through and go to Xingyang together with the minister. Then I will ask the king of Han to send troops back and take back the land of Jiujiang!"

There was a sneer in Yingbo's heart, and he still expected Liu Bang to help him regain the land?If he took the initiative to send troops to help himself, why did he end up like this?

"Sir, he himself said, now that the city is under siege, where else can we go?" Ying Bu responded lightly, without much enthusiasm.

Seeing this, the expression on Sui He's face was slightly sad, and he said awkwardly: "My lord, the Chu army has now besieged the southeast, north and south, and the west has not yet had time to besiege. Can we consider breaking out before the Chu army really completes the siege?" ?”

Ying Bu said coldly: "Do you think it's because the Chu army has not had time to besiege them all? It's just a trap deliberately left by Long Qie. The siege division must be missing. As expected, a large number of troops have been deployed outside the west of the city. Let's jump in!"

Sui He's heart sinks, he is not as good as Yingbu in military matters, since he said so, it is naturally reasonable.Compared with the status quo of the siege, he cares more about Yingbo's performance.It can be seen that Yingbo is already giving up on himself now, what should I do?
Sui He said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, we can concentrate all our forces to break out from a certain side of the city gate. With our current strength, it should be possible to do it, right? The so-called keeping the green hills is not afraid of no firewood, it is better than Wouldn't it be better to stay here and die?"

Things have come to this point, Sui He has nothing to estimate, and his words are very straightforward!
wait to die?Yingbo's heart moved. Although the facts were similar, this was not the situation he hoped for after all.Even if it was true, it shouldn't come out of his casual mouth.Yingbo is very angry about this, and it can be seen that Sui He is afraid of death now...

Ying Bo said: "Break out, just give up like this? Or do you want to break out with your husband and ask the King of Han for help?"

Ying Bu casually asked such a rhetorical question, which made Sui He speechless and didn't know how to answer it!

Yingbo ignored it, turned around and was about to leave...

Seeing this, Su He shouted loudly: "King of Jiujiang, do you plan to wait until the day the city is broken? Let your soldiers, your wives, children and children all die with you?"

One sentence reminded Yingbo that what he said was good, and it was fine if he died like this.If his wife and children were involved, especially the children, how could he die so easily when he was still young?

No, no matter what, they should be sent away first!

Anyone who thinks that Yingbo can be persuaded, thinks that this sentence can stimulate Yingbo, and thus leads him to break through.But in fact this is not the case, and Yingbo did not stop as he expected.Looking at the background of Ying Buyang leaving, Sui He was very helpless and couldn't hide his loss.Thinking of what will happen on the day the city is broken, I can't help feeling anxious like ants on a hot pot...

Yingbo hurried back to the harem, and he reminded him that the safety of his wife and son is a very important thing.What to do now?I can't let them stay here with me waiting to die, I have to send them out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible.

Without them, I have nothing to worry about, and I can go all out to fight against the dragon, and if I don't fight, I will die with the city!

Back in the harem, seeing his son running back and forth in the garden playing handsome, Yingbu couldn't help being touched.Children don't understand the difficulties of adults, and they don't know the danger of the current situation. They are completely carefree.

Yingbo sighed softly, and blamed himself a little. As a father, he had the responsibility to give his child a safe environment for him to grow up healthily, but he failed to do so.

Thinking of this, Yingbo became a little more determined, and must send his wife and children away safely!
