Fortunately, the winter in Chu was not cold. Even in the first month of the year, the soldiers of Chu could march quickly without fearing the influence of the climate. Jingyang was eager to return to the army to rescue Chendu, so he accelerated the marching speed. The soldiers who had complained were silent after seeing the tragedy along the road. Their willingness to return was even stronger than Jingyang, and their families were all behind them.

Especially those nobles who went on the expedition, they thought of taking all their private soldiers away and their fiefs were unprepared for power, so they were even more anxious. Therefore, after Jingyang issued an order to march urgently, the soldiers did not object and rushed towards Chendu with all their might. After passing through Ai Fen, they could gradually see more towns of Chu. What made Jingyang angry was that these Chu people actually fled after seeing the Chu army.

They fled with their food and supplies.

Of course, Jingyang understood that the officials who had not resisted the Qin people and accepted the appointments of the Qin people were killed by the Chu people who came back. Now that these people can stand alive, they have obviously accepted the appointments of the Qin people again. Then it would be reasonable for them to see their own people and escape. Looking at the Chu people who regard themselves as enemies, their eyes full of fear, and kneeling to beg for mercy to them, Jingyang couldn't speak.

At this moment, what Xiang Xian had said once resounded in his ears again: Please stop the officials from killing the people who were coerced by the Qin people. The Chu people were desperate, and they would die if they resisted, and they would die if they did not resist... Jingyang felt a little regretful. At that time, he might have to follow Xiang Xian's proposal and not allow the nobles to take revenge. Jingyang's army passed through Shangcai in a very short time and rushed to the banks of the Rushui River.

In the cold winter, such a marching speed is incredible. Of course, it can only be done in the warm Chu State. If you march in Zhao State or Yan State in this season, it is to murder soldiers.

As long as you cross the Rushui in front of you, you can reach Shangcai City, turn to Anling, Yangcheng, and then arrive at Chendu. But the problem is that Jingyang is a little afraid of crossing the river. If Bai Qi sets an ambush across the river, it will lead to the destruction of the entire Chu army. On the one hand, Jingyang arranged people to find ships, and on the other hand, he also sent scouts to the other side to inquire about the situation. The soldiers of Chu seemed a little impatient, with 300,000 troops stationed on the shore, and the camps were almost as long as Rushui.

Jingyang gradually calmed down. No matter what the situation of Chen Du was, as long as the Chu army in his hand was still there, Chu would not perish. Chen Du fell and could change the capital. If the King of Chu had an unfortunate situation, he could also welcome another new king. But if these 300,000 soldiers were lost here, Chu would have no hope. After Jingyang calmed down, he quickly showed all the basic strategic gazes of a famous general.

He ordered 100,000 Chu troops to continue to be stationed in the Rushui coastal areas and be prepared. He also dispatched 50,000 soldiers to rush to the direction of Dengcheng in the north and stationed there, leaving himself a way out. From Dengcheng, you can go directly north to enter the territory of South Korea. Of course, you can also detour from here to Wei. South Korea and Wei are allies of Chu. Without knowing that various parts of Chu, this place will become an important backer for Jingyang.

Then, he dispatched another 50,000 soldiers to station in Shangcai to guard against attacks from behind. Then he ordered the deputy general to lead the remaining 100,000 people to quietly go south, cross the river from further south, cross the river from there, and closer to Fanyang City. Jingyang predicted that if Bai Qi set up an ambush on the other side of the river, the ambush should be on the northern bank of Chendu, and there might also be ambush in the south, but there should not be too many.

If you encounter a small number of ambushers, the deputy general leads a 100,000 army, you can completely defeat him. If you encounter a large number of troops, you can directly lead the remaining 100,000 people to cross the river directly, attack on both sides, and disrupt the opponent's ambush. The best result is that the opponent did not find that the side division had successfully crossed the river. At this time, you can cross the river. You deliberately get Bai Qi's ambush, and then let the side division stab Bai Qi back, thus defeating him.

No matter how bad it is, you can take the rest of your troops north to rush to South Korea through Dengcheng.

Jingyang made all arrangements, and then the Chu army began to take action. There were several nobles who refuted Jingyang's orders. Jingyang directly executed them, suppressing everyone's dissatisfaction. Some generals said: Jingyang did not save Chen Du, because he wanted to become king. This greatly disturbed the morale of the army. However, Jingyang had many years of fighting in the south and north, and he still had many confidants, and could help him firmly control the army.

The Chu army began to act, but the battle situation was not optimistic. First, the scouts who went to the other side of the river were gone, and no one came back alive to repay him. This made Jingyang completely unaware of the situation on the other side. Until the defeated soldiers from Dengcheng fled back, Xiang Xian was surprised to find that Bai Qi's ambush was not on the other side of the river, but on both sides of him. He hurriedly led his people south to support his side division.

When he was reunited with the intact side division, Ai Fen from the northwest fell again. The Qin soldiers who were originally beaten by the Chu people and fled into the Great Wall of Chu took the opportunity to launch an attack. The entire Chu army left behind in Ai Fen was destroyed... The small group of river crossing troops sent by the side division were also ambushed by the Qin people. Jing Yang could not even find Bai Qi there, but was attacked from three sides.

Jingyang gave up crossing the river, and a large army rushed towards Dengcheng again. Finally, in the Yushui area, Jingyang encountered Bai Qi's main force, and the two sides started a big battle. The tired Chu army was not the opponent of the Qin army that was raising energy. Bai Qi first used infantry to attack the front. When the two sides were fighting in a melee, they suddenly ordered the chariot troops to attack from the left wing of the Chu army. The left wing of the Chu army was directly defeated. The chariots divided the Chu army into dozens of pieces, and then surrounded and annihilated.

The Chu army collapsed across the board, and Jingyang led less than 50,000 elite soldiers across the water and fled to the direction of South Korea.

During this battle between the Qin army and the State of Chu, the State of Qin beheaded nearly 100,000 and captured 160,000.

The Qin people cheered on this bloody land to celebrate their victory. Bai Qi sat in the military carriage, but his eyes were staring at the captives who were kneeling on the ground, frightened and angry. They were tied up with each other, surrounded by Qin people holding weapons, aiming their spears at them. Many of them were injured and unable to move. The Qin people tied them up separately according to their costumes and dressed up, and they would never tie up private soldiers or kings together. As for the generals of the Chu State, they had long been executed.

There were too many prisoners, because after being defeated, these Chu states fled everywhere. The Qin chariots and cavalry quickly captured them, tied them to the chariots, and dragged them back to the camp. By this time, they were half dead. All those who dared to fight back were executed. Only those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy could leave a way out. The Chu people heard that the Qin people had released the captured Chu state prisoners before, so there were not many resisting.

Bai Qi looked at him coldly. Suddenly, he waved to Meng Wu. Meng Wu walked to his side. Bai Qi said, "Let them dig a hole."

.........

Xianyang, royal palace.

After Fan Ju left, the King of Qin did not give orders as quickly as usual, and he was a little hesitant. The King of Qin sent two warriors, and soon, two noble people who rarely came here came here in carriages with the warriors. The person who came was a father and son, Ying Yiren and his father, An Guojun Ying Zhu. Ying Zhu gasped and walked out of the carriage. Ying Yiren had already noticed him and rushed to him in a hurry, trying to support him.

Ying Zhu looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion, thought for a while, and then smiled and said, "Yinren..."

Ying Zhu looked far weaker than the King of Qin. He coughed, walked out of the carriage, and walked into the palace with the support of his son. Ying Zhu became weaker and weaker, no longer able to straighten his waist, and his speech was a bit intermittent. Even his memory was not as good as before. He had recently become ill and should not go out in such a cold climate, but when the King of Qin summoned him, he had to come.

Ying Yiren supported his father, but he was not angry because his father hadn't recognized him just now. Ying Zhu gasped and walked forward step by step, and still whispered to Ying Yiren: "You'd better let me go. If my father saw me like this, I would be scolded again... I can walk by myself." Ying Yiren had no choice but to let go of his father, but he didn't dare to get too far away.

Ying Zhu said with a smile: "I still remember when you were born, Xia Ji was so happy. You were too thin when you were born. Many people said that you would not live in adulthood. At that time, your eldest father had also come. He just glanced at you and concluded that you would die. I was very angry. It was the first time I contradicted my father, and it was the only time. I thought he would punish me, but he actually laughed at that time and said that I finally started to be like him..."

Ying Zhu was nagging, but Ying Yiren listened carefully, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The King of Qin sat in the upper position, his back was straight and energetic. When he saw him walking up to him and bowing to his son, his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything. He waved his hand and let him sit aside. Ying Zhu sat down and coughed suddenly. The King of Qin frowned, but did not scold Ying Zhu in front of Ying Yiren.

King Ying Ji of Qin has three sons, the eldest son, Prince Dao. When he was a hostage in Wei State, he died of illness in Wei State ten years ago, and his third son was angry. He died of illness in Shu two years ago. Now he only has the second son Ying Zhu. However, Ying Zhu is not young anymore and is full of illness. The King of Qin, who has already died of two sons, is very worried that he will die the last son. Looking at Ying Zhu's sick look, the King of Qin felt even more uncomfortable.

The King of Qin looked at Ying Yiren again, and then said, "I called you here because there was something important to discuss with you." Then, he told the two people in front of Zhao Kuo's letter and Fan Ju's persuasion, and then asked, "What do you think should you do? Should you kill or release?" When Ying Zhu heard the King of Qin's question, he coughed but did not answer.

Ying Yiren looked at his father, then at his eldest father, and the King of Qin said directly: "No need to be restrained, just say it."

Ying Yiren stood up and said seriously: "Big Father, it's time to kill." The King of Qin was stunned, and then stroked his beard and asked, "Why do you need to kill?" Ying Yiren said seriously: "If you want to have a king of the world, you must get the Three Jins. The Three Jins are not the opponent of Qin. However, Chu has been interfering in the affairs of the Three Jins. I predict that this battle is not to destroy Chu, but to weaken Chu!"

The more he spoke, the louder the voice of Ying Yiren was, the more excited he became. He clenched his fists and said seriously: "Only by killing the young and strong Chu State, Chu State can no longer continue to interfere in the Three Jin affairs. If Qin wants to rule the world, he can only kill those young and strong who are capable of resisting Qin State, leave their descendants, and make their descendants become Qin people! The most important thing to kill is the nobles of various countries. Only by killing them can Qin State rule the world!"

"If you don't want to kill them, you can disperse them as slaves and spread them all over the Qin State to build roads and dig channels!"

The King of Qin saw the strong fighting aura on his body. If he were the King of Qin, he would definitely be a decisive king with iron-blooded means... Killing all the nobles of all countries is something that the King of Qin must be concerned about. However, Ying Yiren said so simply, and he was a little courageous. The King of Qin nodded and looked at his son with some disappointment. Perhaps, he should pass the throne directly to Yiren, not the pillar?

Ying Zhu slowly raised his head and said, "Father, it's time to release these people."

"Oh? Why?" asked the King of Qin, and Ying Yiren also looked at his father in surprise.

"Leave them behind, ask for food and money from Chu, and ask Chu to redeem these prisoners... Because of the war, Chu lacks food, and they do not have enough food to redeem these prisoners... If they take out food to redeem these prisoners, then we will take away the food of Chu and kill these prisoners. If they have no food to redeem, then we will release these prisoners..."

"If you want to have a king, you can't just kill him, otherwise, unless you kill everyone outside Qin, otherwise hatred will definitely exist..." Ying Zhu said, and suddenly coughed again. He raised his head, looked at his father, and said, "What do you think?"

The King of Qin widened his eyes and looked at Ying Zhu. Ying Yiren beside him was the same, and he couldn't stop talking.

The King of Qin looked at Ying Zhu and Ying Yiren and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay, OK!"

The King of Qin laughed loudly, very happy. He looked at Ying Yiren and said, "Ask your father carefully... Slaying blindly is not the best way."

"only!"

ps: The quality of the monarchs of Qin during this period was really high, and there was no one who was foolish. They directly tied up with the fools of the six countries. Now, among the kings of the six countries, only King Kaollie of Chu is OK. As for the others, umbrellas...
