Chapter 196 Prepare for war and wait for the enemy

Chu State, Shouchun, Lingyin Mansion.

Since the capital of Chu State was moved here, this mansion has experienced three owners.

The first owner was Chunshenjun Huang Xie, who was considered the most famous person in this mansion and the one who stayed here the longest.

The second owner was Li Yuan, who was once the most powerful person in Chu State, but unfortunately he fell in the struggle for power.

The third master was Yin Songyu, the magistrate of Chu State at this time. With his help, Ning Chu succeeded in taking that position.

At this time, General Xiang Yan and Lord Changping, who had just defected, gathered at the mansion.

In the lobby, Song Yu dismissed the servants waiting on the side, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, looked at the two people on the side, and said in a deep voice: "What should I do next? If I don't think of a way, this Chu

There is basically no hope for the country.”

Xiang Yan nodded and agreed: "Yes, not to mention the number of troops, just in terms of combat effectiveness and morale, we are far behind the Qin army. Our victory last time was all due to surprise."

"Wang Jian, as a representative of the military situation, pays attention to steady and steady attacks when using troops, and uses overwhelming force to overwhelm his opponents. It is impossible to use the previous method again."

Lord Changping was the one who knew Wang Jian best among the three. Although he was not a military strategist, he had held a high position in the Qin State over the years and was very familiar with Wang Jian's ability to use troops.

"The Qin State sent 600,000 troops this time. In addition to the hundreds of thousands Li Xin lost in the Chu State last time, the Qin State has not many troops left. Can we use some means to drive a wedge between Ying Zheng and Wang Jian?

, thus allowing Qin to withdraw its troops?"

Song Yu thought for a while and made a suggestion.

Hearing this, Lord Changping shook his head: "Wang Jian is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to make mistakes. It is difficult for alienation to be effective. Besides, Ying Zheng has a snare and a secret guard in his hands. He has better information than us. Our actions are very effective."

It’s hard to avoid them.”

When the three of them heard this, they all sighed. Faced with this huge pressure, there was nothing they could do for a while.

Chang Pingjun raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Is it really irreconcilable in Xiaoyao City?"

Song Yu and Xiang Yan looked at each other and shook their heads: "Xiaoyao City is special. When we gave up Xiaoyao City, we had conflicts with Li Chen. Later, the late king and Li Yuan also had conflicts with Xiaoyao City.

Made a move."

"Later, Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom and Kui Tianguang, a peasant hero, cooperated with the king and provoked Li Chen again, so we had no choice but to help the king seize the throne."

"After the king succeeded to the throne, he once again attracted the attention of Xiaoyao City, and then led Li Chen to Shouchun. He threatened the king in public in the palace and made the king a laughing stock in the world."

"So, regardless of whether Li Chen is willing to let go of his past grievances, the king will not be able to go through that hurdle very easily!"

Only then did Lord Changping understand the grudges between Chaotang and Xiaoyao City, and he couldn't help but frown. He originally thought it was just Li Chen threatening the king, but now it seems that the two are almost irreconcilable.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Chang Pingjun looked up at the two of them and said, "No matter what, we must go to Xiaoyao City. If we can really pull Li Chen into our camp, then facing Wang Jian's 600,000

When we have a large army, we can at least be half as relaxed."

When Song Yu and Xiang Yan heard this, they nodded bitterly. They understood what Changping Jun meant.

But, how difficult it is to pull Li Chen into their camp!

After thinking for a while, Song Yu nodded and said, "In that case, Lord Changping and I will meet each other. The general will arrange for the envoys to be sent to Qi State, and he will also be responsible for organizing the army and preparing for war."

That afternoon, a group of people left Shouchun and rushed towards Xiaoyao City...

In Xiaoyao City, since the news spread that Wang Jian commanded a 600,000-strong army to attack the Chu Kingdom, there have been far fewer merchants coming here to purchase.

After all, the war is coming, and no one dares to bet on whether Xiaoyao City can survive the war.

In this world, there are still only a few people who want money rather than their lives, not to mention those who can come to Xiaoyao City to do business. They are either rich or noble. They cherish their lives more than anyone else.

Li Chen did not make a promise on this. When the Qin army arrives, Xiaoyao City will definitely be closed off.

Therefore, anyone staying in Xiaoyao City will bring hidden dangers to the safety of the city.

If it is closed for a long time, the city's supplies of food and grass will also be a problem.

At this time, Li Chen summoned the deacons and elders of Xiaoyao Sect to the square in front of the city lord's palace.

Looking at the more than a hundred people in front of him, Li Chen couldn't help but feel proud. In less than ten years, Xiaoyao Sect has grown from scratch and accumulated such a strong strength. Li Chen's role in it is self-evident.

metaphorical.

For the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, Li Chen is also noble in their minds.

Most of the people in Xiaoyaomen were once gangsters. After joining Xiaoyaomen, their lives are guaranteed.

After the establishment of Xiaoyao City, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect became the envy of the people in the city. Everyone hoped that their children could join Xiaoyao Sect.

Not to mention, Li Chen gave them resources and skills, making them strong.

Li Chen didn't waste any time. He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone must have heard that the Qin army is coming again. This time it's more serious than last time. With a total of 600,000 troops, Chu State will definitely not be able to defend itself.

"

After a pause, Li Chen continued: "We in Xiaoyao City have always been independent from the world and will not participate in their fights. Of course, Xiaoyao City will not be afraid of trouble. We are not afraid of anyone."

"The reason why we are all gathered here today is that the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect were once from the Chu State. Many of their family members and friends are still outside. After we go down, we must make it clear to our disciples that we want to bring our family members there.

From Xiaoyao City, please hurry up."

"Of course, if someone wants to fight for the Chu Kingdom, they can also choose to leave Xiaoyao City. As long as they don't spread the Xiaoyao Sect's skills to outsiders, there will be no problem."

The crowd below suddenly became commotion, and some people started talking.

Li Chen waved his hand and continued: "From today until the end of the war, Xiaoyao City will begin to strengthen patrols. I have made arrangements with your hall master to report any problems in time."

"Of course, the rules that should be followed must be followed. I don't want us in Xiaoyao City to die because we can't control ourselves, instead of being killed by the soldiers outside."

Li Chen encouraged everyone and warned them, then turned and left.

The rest of the matter will be arranged by Liu Tong, Dianqing and others. From now on, Xiaoyao City has entered a state of preparation for war.

With the existence of the formation, Li Chen was not worried at all that the Qin army could capture Xiaoyao City.

However, internal stability is what Li Chen wants to consider.

Although they have been screened several times, there must still be spies from Qin in the city.
