General Qin.

"The king ordered Yin to send troops to intercept Zhao Tuo, why did Yin refuse?"

"Qin General Zhao Tuo has defeated Xiang Qu's army now, and he will surely lead his army across the Sui River to the south, and attack our capital of Chu from the rear. Ling Yin Mofei will be like last year, let Zhao Tuo lead the army to Shouchun , so that the king can not be frightened!"

In the camp of the Chu Army outside Chen Ying City, Jin Xia, the supervising army appointed by the King of Chu, reprimanded Xiang Yan with a very stern tone.

Sitting on the couch, Xiang Yan raised her eyelids to look at Jin Xia, then lowered her head to look at the bamboo slips on the case, which contained information on all the rations and supplies in the army.

Seeing that Xiang Yan ignored her, Jin Xia became even more angry.

He thought of the urging orders sent by the King of Chu from Shouchun one after another, gritted his teeth, and shouted in a high voice: "Ling Yin, you have led hundreds of thousands of troops to station in Chenying for half a year. Li, what kind of war is this! Your son led an army and was defeated by Zhao Tuo in Suishui, causing our Chu to be in danger of overthrowing. Your Majesty ordered you to send troops to intercept Zhao Tuo several times. Why is Ling Yin still here? Pretend to be deaf and dumb!"

Hearing Jin Xia mention Xiang Qu's name, Xiang Yan finally raised her head, revealing her bloodshot eyes.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Zhao Tuo will not go south to attack Shouchun."

"Is Ling Yin lying to ghosts?"

Hearing this, Jin Xia sneered.

"Before, Zhao Tuo only defeated the Qi army, and before he was about to go south to our Chu land, you hurriedly sent Xiang Qu and 3 troops to Sui River to stop it. If Zhao Tuo had no intention of attacking my Shouchun, why did you send troops there? Stop it? It's better to let Xiang Qu and those [-] people stay here in Chen Ying, at least he won't die!"

Xiang Yan's body trembled.

The two generals Zhao Yuan and Qu Mao standing in the tent were even more furious.

The violent Zhao Yuan immediately said angrily: "General Xiang died for the country, the superintendent dares to insult you like this. If the supervising army thinks it is easy to fight, then it is better for the supervising army to lead the troops to attack Zhao Tuo himself. His ability will definitely defeat the Qin army, and even capture Zhao Tuo, and he may make a great contribution, so there is no need to urge Ling Yin here."

Jin Xia knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but he would not admit his mistake in front of this junior. He stared and said: "The boy from the Zhao clan dares to speak to me like that. When my father Zhaochen and my brother Zhaoping were still alive, they didn't dare to ridicule me like this. "

"Besides, why do I mean to insult? It's just that Yin now says that Zhao Tuo has no intention of going south for Shouchun, but he sent Xiang Qu to lead his troops to stop it before. Such behavior is self-contradictory. How can I not be suspicious!"

Jin Xiayue became more and more excited when he said: "And Ling Yin, you and the people of Qin have been stalemate for half a year. It has caused the emptiness in our country of Chu, and there is not enough food and fodder. Now that there is a shortage of food, Ling Yin has not yet sent troops to attack Qin. What's the point of still consuming food and grass here, just waiting for our country of Chu to perish?"

Both Zhao Yuan and Qu Mao's expressions changed drastically, and they were about to open their mouths to explain.

But Xiang Yan stood up abruptly.

The white-haired veteran had his beard and hair stretched out because of his anger.

Xiang Yan yelled: "Jin Xia! You don't understand military warfare, so don't speak in front of this old man."

"That Zhao Tuo went south with the prestige of breaking Qi in the past, and he was full of vigor. If he didn't send troops to stop him, maybe he would stab him to Shouchun in one fell swoop, causing a commotion in our army, so as to give Wang Jian a chance to break me."

"But now, Youqu...Youxiangqu blocked him in Suishui for two months, and the two sides fought a battle. Although our army was defeated, Zhao Tuo's strength was also damaged a lot, and his spirit was frustrated. At this time, it was the cold winter In the month of Zhiyue, the Qin people are not suitable for the climate in Chu, and the logistics and transportation in winter are difficult. With Zhao Tuo's usual behavior, he will never risk crossing the Huai River at this time and attack me in Shouchun!"

"That's why I ignored him. Sending troops to support, what you said is simple. In addition to Chen Ying, there is Wang Jian's 60 troops. If I send fewer people to stop Zhao Tuo, he will surely defeat him. If there are more , then this Chen Ying still can't defend!"

"You still say that the old man is wasting food and grass, so if you have the ability, you lead troops to fight Wang Jian! That old thing Wang Jian is hiding behind the tortoise shell barrier and can't come out. Tell the old man how to fight this battle!"

Although Xiang Yan is old, Xiang's violent temper has not diminished at all. At this moment, she yelled at Jin Xia like an angry lion roaring, looking very fierce, and the spittle in her mouth sprayed Jin Xia all over her face.

Jin Xia's eyes were wide open, with an aggrieved expression.

Xiang Yan yelled at him!

And the voice and appearance are so terrifying.

Jin Xia, who was born in the noble family of the Jin family, was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he was loved and favored a lot. He had never been humiliated like this before.

Even the high and mighty king of the Chu Kingdom had never treated him like this.

"Xiang Yan, you are fine. I will definitely report to the king what happened today!"

Jin Xia threw down a harsh word, turned around and walked out of the tent.

As he walked, he raised his sleeves and kept wiping Xiang Yan's saliva off his face.

Because Xiang Yan's voice was too loud, he actually didn't understand the meaning of Xiang Yan's words.

But for this matter, Xiang Yan's attitude alone is enough.

On the orders of the king, I urge you to send troops to intercept Zhao Tuo, so as not to repeat what happened last year when the Qin soldiers approached Shouchun. Is there a problem with this behavior?

Not only did you, Xiang Yan, disobey the king's order, but you yelled at me, the superintendent, and wantonly insulted you. This is not only not taking me seriously as the supervising soldier, but also not taking your majesty seriously.

Jin Xia's chest was going to explode with anger, and he would immediately write a letter to the king when he returned, and write about how arrogant and domineering Xiang Yan was today, and how he bullied him.

"Ling Yin, this Jin Xia is the king's favored minister after all. If he treats him like this today, if he slanders him in front of the king, it will not be a good thing. I am afraid that the king will change generals at that time, just like Qin and Zhao Changping in the past. The king replaced Mr. Xinping with Ma Fuzi."

Seeing Jin Xia leave with hatred, Qu Mao couldn't help feeling worried.

The current situation in Qin and Chu is really very similar to the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping in the past.

Back then, when Qin and Zhao were fighting, General Lian Po of Zhao defended the barriers and fought against the Qin army for a long time, which made it difficult for Zhao to be short of food and food in the country.

After borrowing grain from Qi to no avail, King Zhao could only urge Lian Po to attack the Qin people many times, but Lian Po resisted them all.Seeing the lack of food and fodder in the country, and the instigation of the Qin people, the King of Zhao changed his generals, and let Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo take the place of Lian Po, and led the Zhao army to attack the Qin State.

Zhao Kuo's defeat was not only a matter of his ability, but also because the Zhao State at that time, like the Chu State today, had fallen into a situation of food shortage and had to attack.

Now, half a year after the confrontation between the Chu State and the Qin people, the food and grass are almost bottomed out.

Even if Xiang Yan disbanded tens of thousands of Chen Ying's civilian servants and returned to their hometowns, letting them find food for themselves, regardless of life or death.Even if Xiang Yan reduced the daily rations of all soldiers to two-thirds, and directly reduced the rations of the remaining civilians by half.

But the remaining food of the Chu army can only last for a month.

After a month, it was time to see the results.

Under such circumstances, Xiang Yan still has no plans to attack.

Because Xiang Yan knew very well that if he attacked, he would be defeated.

The main general on the opposite side is Wang Jian, who is stronger than Xiang Yan.

There are 60 Qin troops on the opposite side, more than his Chu troops.

On the opposite side, there is more grain, fodder, supplies, weapons and armour, and everything is better than his Chu State.

Nothing compares, how to fight?
If he took the initiative to attack, it would be to let Chu State die immediately.

Instead, if he sticks to Chen Ying, he can still breathe for another month.

In a month's time, what if there are any new changes?

For example, Wang Jian's old tortoise caught wind and cold in this cold winter and died suddenly in the army. Isn't this his opportunity for Xiang Yan?
Another example is the rebellion in the Three Jin Dynasties, such as the death of King Qin...

Although the probability of these things is very low, Xiang Yan has no other choice but to continue to wait for the almost impossible chance of victory.

This is the tragedy of the weak.

Under such circumstances, even though the king of Chu ordered Jin Xia to urge Xiang Yan to attack many times, he never paid attention to it.

Xiang Yan felt Lian Po's feelings during the Battle of Changping.

At that time, Lian Po probably thought the same way.Since the Qin army cannot be defeated, it depends on who can consume the energy to the end. I hope that there will be problems within the Qin State or external forces will intervene.

However, Xiang Yan is not Lian Po.

If the king of Chu was really stupid enough to listen to the slander and replace Xiang Yan before the battle, then Xiang Yan would never bear it.

"My Xiang family is loyal to the Chu State, not the murderer who killed the king and usurped the throne in Shouchun City."

Thinking of this, Xiang Yan's eyes were full of chills.

Just when the atmosphere in the military tent was depressed, some short soldiers came to report.

"Report to Yin, General Jing Tong has led his army ten miles outside the camp."

Xiang Yan's body trembled, and she closed her eyes in pain.

……

The cold wind blows through Huaibei, even if you wear thick winter clothes and walk outside the camp, you will still shiver.

When Xiang Yan walked out of the camp, walked outside the gate, and looked at the approaching Chu army on the road not far away, he felt that it was not his body that was cold, but his heart.

"Ling Yin!"

Jing Tong came, knelt down to pay respects, and said desolately: "Jing Tong is incompetent and cannot assist General Xiang in guarding Fuli, which led to this defeat. Please order Yin to punish him."

Xiang Yan shook her head.

"Get up, this battle is not your fault."

Xiang Yan said in a low voice, stepped forward, and walked towards a covered cart in the middle of the Chu army.

In the car, the coffin of his son Xiang Yan was parked.

All the soldiers of the Chu army stepped aside, bowed their heads sideways, and let Xiang Yan walk towards the coffin respectfully.

Behind Xiang Yan, Zhao Yuan, Qu Mao and other generals who followed also had mournful expressions on their faces.

"The soul is back! Going to the king's constant work, what is the four directions? Abandoning the king's joy, and being away from it is more ominous..."

I don't know who started it, singing the elegy of Chu people in a low voice.

One person sang, ten people sang, and countless people sang along in low voices.

"The soul is back! The north can't stop. The ice is so high, the snow is flying thousands of miles. Come back! It can't be longer..."

On this day, the entire Chen Ying Chu camp was filled with the desolate and desolate sound of evoking souls.

Xiang Yan walked to the coffin and put her hand on the cold coffin, her eyes were full of sadness.

"I know you will attack Zhao Tuo. Because you are the son of my Xiang family, you will not sit still. You want to defeat him and find another chance for our Chu country."

"I don't know that after defeating Zhao Tuo and communicating with Lu, our army's food and fodder can last longer, and we can even borrow food from the Qi people to gain vitality."

"It's just that Zhao Tuo, I have studied carefully. There is something strange in the way he uses troops, and there is something right in the strange. He is a fierce enemy of our army and should not be underestimated... But I still let you go, although I told you not to take the initiative to attack , but I know you will still do it. Even in my heart, why don't I hope that you will defeat Zhao Tuo and make a career..."

Xiang Yanxu whispered, her words were full of grief.

After a long time, he finally raised his head and looked in the direction of Suishui in the east.

There is a cold light flickering in the eyes.

"Zhao Tuo."

……

A few days later, Chudu Shouchun.

"Zhao Tuo broke Xiangqu, and he might go south at any time to attack me in Shouchun. Bugu sent orders for Xiang Yan to send troops to stop him, but this person ignored him at all. Damn it! It's really hateful."

King Chu's eyes were red, and he slapped the silk script sent back from the front line on the table.

"Our state of Chu's food supply is almost at the bottom. Bugu asked him Xiang Yan to attack Wang Jian, but he refused to attack. He asked him Xiang Yan to send troops to intercept Zhao Tuo, but he refused to listen. He even insulted the soldiers I sent in front of the generals. Supervising the army. How dare Xiang Yan do this, Bu Gu can't command him anymore!"

The more the king of Chu talked, the more angry he became, and the more he talked, the more afraid he became.

That Qin general Zhao Tuo dared to run to the city of Shouchun with 5000 people last year, showing off his might.

Now this person is even leading tens of thousands of Qin troops, first defeating [-] Qi troops, and then defeating Xiangqu Chu troops, what a prestige.

Under such circumstances, you Xiang Yan actually said that Zhao Tuo would not lead an army to attack Shouchun!
lie!

Xiang Yan is lying!
Chu Wang Xiangchu thought of the scene when Zhao Tuo's soldiers came to the city last year, and fear instantly covered his face.

Zhao Tuo dared to scare Bugu with 5000 people last year.

Now that there are [-] Qin troops, they can't break Shouchun, destroy the country and capture the king!
This is so scary.

And that Yan...

The King of Chu thought about Xiang Yan's disobedience and disrespect last year, abandoning his return order and running to rescue Xiong Qi.

Are we going to do it again this year?
The idea that once appeared in the mind of Chu Wang Xiangchu last year, popped up again.

Xiangyan wanted to deliberately indulge Zhao Tuo, let him break through Shouchun and capture Bugu, and then he went to support Xiong Qi to ascend the throne?

Otherwise, why would Xiang Yan never listen to Bu Gu's words!

The king of a country can't even command a general leading an army.

Outrageous!

Thinking of this, King Chu's face was completely distorted.

in his imagination.

After Qin General Zhao Tuo defeated Xiang Qu, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to go deep into Chu. He would take advantage of the fact that all the main forces of the Chu army were gathered in Chen Ying, and go straight to the capital of Chu, Shouchun.

How could Zhao Tuo give up such a stunning feat!

Compared with Wang Jianyuan's 60 people in Guling, Zhao Tuo's 3 people are obviously a greater threat to Shouchun.

Maybe Zhao Tuo is about to come to Huaishui now.

The more Chu Wang thought about it, the more frightened he became. Even the [-] Chu troops guarding the city could not give him a sense of security.

"Xiang Yan, since you don't listen to Bugu's orders, then don't blame Bugu!"

King Chu Chu finally made up his mind and growled to the servants standing around him, "Send Bugu an order to Chen Ying."

"Ling Yin's son sacrificed his life for the country, and Bu Gu was very moved. He also pity that Ling Yin is old, and under grief, he may not be able to take charge of important military and state affairs. For the sake of the country, he ordered Yin to hand over the army to Jin Xia, the supervisor. Edict Let Yin go back to the capital, and Bugu will comfort him."
