Saint Qin Batu

Xiang Yan, who was observing the map, suddenly sank in her heart.A strong ominous feeling immediately filled his heart.

"General! Juyang has fallen!" the Chu soldier who came, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a heavy tone.

"Hey, that's true." Xiang Yan sighed softly, but then asked: "What is the loss of the Qin army, and how many people are there in our army?"

"This...that day the Qin army attacked the city so fiercely that they almost rushed out. When the general escaped, Juyang had already fallen. The general didn't know what happened. Please forgive me, general!"

Xiang Yan turned her back, stood with her hands behind her back, and focused her eyes on the huge map in front of her again.

"Go down and have a good rest." On the side, Xiang Chao glanced at his silent father, and said softly to Chu Zu.

"Here!"

The Chu soldier also knew that he was ashamed, and after softly agreeing, he walked out of the hall with heavy steps.

"Father, the western front has been breached. It is meaningless for us to be stationed in Chendi..." Xiang Chao's voice was a little helpless, but also extremely firm.

If Juyang fell, once Wang Jian's side forces drove straight in, then their large army's rear would be cut off and they would become entangled turtles.

"Father knows, but, where do you think it is appropriate to evacuate?"

Xiang Yan turned around and looked at Xiang Chao. Her expression was not as sad as she imagined, nor was she planning to defend Chen Cheng to the death.

As a master military strategist, Xiang Yan naturally knew the way to choose. Even if Chencheng is an important town in the north of Chu State, if it has no value, it can naturally be discarded.

"Chengfu may be good..." Xiang Chao hesitated for a moment, then said.

Xiang Yan nodded, but quickly shook her head again, and said, "The western front has been breached, City Father, it seems like a good place, but it's still too far ahead."

"What does father mean?"

"What if Pengcheng on the eastern front is also broken?" Xiang Yan turned her eyes to the northeast corner.

Xiang Chao was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Father, Pengcheng has the help of the Mo family, so it won't fall so soon."

"not necessarily……"

"Father handsome!"

Before Xiang Yan finished speaking, a panicked voice was heard outside the hall.

"Father commander! Pengcheng has fallen!" Xiang Liang, who had just entered, shouted anxiously.

Xiang Chao glanced at Xiang Liang, who was still immature, and slowly lowered his head.

And Xiang Liang seemed to realize his gaffe, so he quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head.

"Go here!" Xiang Yan slapped the map on the wall fiercely, pointed to a place, and said in a deep voice.

Both Xiang Chao and Xiang Liang raised their heads and looked at the small circle on the map.

"Sucheng?" Xiang Liang exclaimed, "Father, isn't this place too small?"

"How many soldiers do you think we have left to fight?" Xiang Yan snorted softly, causing Xiang Liang to lower his head unconsciously again.

But Xiang Chao nodded. Indeed, now that the Chu army has been defeated on two fronts, its strength is far inferior to that of the Qin army.The only way to fight is to gather troops and put away your fists.

"Father, I understand. Let's do it, baby!" Xiang Chao cupped his hands respectfully, then turned and left again.

The next day, after receiving reports from Peng Cheng and Ju Yang, Bai Qi decisively ordered to attack.However, Chen Cheng, who originally gathered more than [-] Chu troops, withdrew yesterday and overnight.

The so-called poor bandits don't chase, the Qin army that has successfully occupied Chencheng, there is no need to risk an ambush to pursue the Chu army.

Therefore, Bai Qi resolutely chose to stay in Chencheng to cultivate his army, and after a few days, he continued to march towards the confidant of Chu State again.

At the same time, the three knight-errants also quietly bypassed the front line and arrived at the King City of Chu, Shouchun.

299章 越王八剑

Shouchun, with tens of thousands of households and hundreds of thousands of permanent residents, is one of the few big cities in Chu State.

Although the state of Chu has long since declined, as a former overlord, the foundation of hundreds of years has made this ancient city of Shouchun glow with great vigor and vitality after it became the capital of Chu.

All the savings of hundreds of years of noble families of the Chu State were put in this city.At the same time, it brings more and more extravagance.

On the wide streets, there are all kinds of Chu people, and there is an endless stream.There was an endless stream of shouts for buying and selling.It seems that the war in Qin State in the north has not affected this place.

However, Chu people who have lived here for a long time will definitely be able to find out.Although nothing seems to have changed in Shouchun, the red-light green square in the past has indeed been neglected in recent days.

Horse-drawn carriages leaving the city often block the city gates, making carriages that want to enter the city have to wait for a long time.More importantly, most of these carriages belonged to the nobles of Damen.

Although the people in Chu already knew about the war between Qin and Chu, the people of Chu, who always had a great family career, still didn't realize that this time it would be a disaster of destroying the country.

Of course, there are many people leaving the city, but there are also many people entering the city.And among these people, there are many people who can see many people with swords.

"Have you heard? The Chu State's troops in Pengcheng and Juyang were dispersed by Qin State!" In a tavern, a man who looked like a gangster said softly to his companions beside him.

"No wonder there are so many carriages going out of the city..." The other man had a disdainful smile on his face, and he glanced at the previous man with a look you know.

"Hehe, they have already been killed by the Qin State! Hmph, meat eaters are despicable!"

"Why, brother, when did you want to serve the country? Why did you go to Wei before it was destroyed?"

"Fart! How can I work for those who are destined to die! If it is Qin State, you can still consider it..." The man said here, and couldn't help but lower his voice, "Besides, brother, the purpose of your coming to Chu State is not to be with my brother. Am I the same?"

The two looked at each other and smiled again, exchanged glances silently, then stopped the chat and drank the wine calmly.

But not far from them, at the place by the window, two men and a woman listened to their conversation without a trace.

"It seems that there are quite a few people coming towards Jianchi..." Han Fei picked up the wine bottle and said with a light peck.

"Greedy people, people who want to fish in troubled waters are everywhere!" Ying Zheng said disapprovingly.

Han Fei didn't refute, but just raised the wine bottle and drank the wine inside.

On the side, Zi Lan picked up the jug and filled Han Fei's empty wine bottle with fine wine again.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

In the noisy street, there was another commotion.I saw a carriage covered with black cloth, under the guard of a group of more than ten people, driving towards the gate of the city with some arrogance.

"It's from Jianchi!"

In the restaurant, someone did not know who exclaimed.Then, it fell into silence.A thick wind of greed gradually spread in the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps sounded in the restaurant one after another.The restaurant was quite lively at first, but after a while, there were only a few people left.
