Under the leadership of Wang Jian, the Qin army destroyed a lot. Wherever they passed, there must be ruins, no living things that could breathe, no grain, no intact fertile fields, no houses to live in. In a word, even if birds fly by, they will have to bring their own food.[ ]

The Qin army's operation was beyond the expectations of the Chu State. The Qin army penetrated more than a thousand miles into the Chu State and destroyed many cities. However, it was shocking that the news of the Qin army's arrival had not spread yet, making Wang Jian and the others feel as if they were in a no-man's territory.

This is due to the unexpected action of the Qin army, and the second is due to the rapid action of the Qin army. Even if the Chu State wants to convey the message, it is not as fast as the Qin army.

The reason why the Qin army was so fast was because of Wang Jian's strict orders that the Qin army was strictly prohibited from carrying anything except food, clothing and essential weapons and equipment, even gold, silver and treasures.

After the Qin army entered the hinterland of Chu, it destroyed a lot of cities, and captured countless gold and silver treasures, which almost dazzled the Qin army's eyes. The Qin army soldiers really wanted to bring them with them. But Wang Jian had strict orders, and although they did not want to, they did not dare not to enforce them.

Of course, for this matter, many generals asked Wang Jian to plead with him, wanting Wang Jian to let the soldiers bring some. When the net was unavailable, the Qin general retreated and asked Wang Jian to allow them to bring a little bit as a souvenir.

This requirement seems reasonable, but it will leave hidden dangers. Because as long as Wang Jian agrees, he will bring a little bit this time, a little bit next time, and a little bit next time. After accumulating it, it will be a great deal after a long time, and it will be a heavy burden. Wang Jian refused without hesitation. This made the generals heartbroken, but helpless.

It is precisely because of Wang Jian's strict order that the Qin army can always maintain light equipment and be able to maneuver quickly. Today is here and tomorrow is beyond the reach of Chu.

Light combat has always been the specialty of the Qin tribe, and Wang Jian has fully utilized this advantage.

Before the Qin tribe entered Guanzhong to establish Qin, the Qin tribe lived in the Longxi River Valley. At that time, the Qin tribe was wearing leather armor, carrying bows and arrows, with human heads hanging around his waist, and his hair disheveled, which was called the "light army".

The Qin army is similar to this difference, the only difference is that there is no head on the waist. The Qin army enters the Chu territory and kills people. If they want to hold heads on it, it will be a heavy burden, and of course Wang Jian is not sure.

The State of Chu was the largest Warring States Period, with the largest cities, the largest number of tourists and the most abundant resources in the Warring States Period. The land it owned includes the current places such as Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhejiang. In other words, the famous "Jiangnan Water Town" in later generations was also the land of the State of Chu.

It was only in the Warring States Period that the Jiangnan water town was occupied by the Yue people, and it was an uncivilized place, its economy was not developed, and its weight in the Chu State was not heavy. The Jiangnan water town developed in later generations, especially after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and became an important granary.

During the Warring States Period, economically developed areas were the Central Plains. The center of Chu was the Huai River. The entire Huai River was the situation of Chu, and this was the lifeline of Chu.

Historically, after Wang Jian defeated Xiang Yan in Tianzhongshan, Qin Shihuang came to the front line and asked Wang Jian about his next military use. Wang Jian said that the situation in Chu was all in the Huai River. As long as the Huai River of Chu was seized, the Chu State would be powerless. Then, Wang Jian divided his troops and struggling the land everywhere. The first place he had to capture was the Huai River Basin, and then the Jiangnan.

The Qin army led by Wang Jian had already entered the Huai River Basin. If it did not enter the Huai River Basin, it would have been. As soon as it entered the Huai River Basin, the Qin soldiers were stunned. They all opened their mouths wide, looking disbelief.

"Is this the Huai River land? I thought I had returned to Guanzhong."

"Yes. The Huai River land is so rich, and the land is too fertile, even compared to the Guanzhong land of Daqin."

"It's a pity that the great land is incompetent. The State of Chu is called poor when guarding such a rich land, but being suppressed by the great deeds. If the Qin Dynasty had such a rich land, the Qin Dynasty would be even stronger."

"That's right. The land in Shandong cannot defeat the Qin Dynasty, so I'll tell you that the Qin Dynasty is rich and powerful, which is not comparable to that in Shandong. But look at this fertile land, it is no worse than Guanzhong. If it is managed well, the strength of Chu State is far better than that of the Qin State. This is all the incompetent Chu State, and Chu State is too incompetent!"

The reason why the Qin soldiers were shocked was that the land of the Huai River was extremely fertile, and it was not bad at all compared to the famous Guanzhong area. It was because it had a rich area, but the Chu State accused the Qin State of being too rich and strong, and that the Chu State could not defeat the Qin State, which was all nonsense.

Guanzhong is very rich, but are there fewer rich places in the Central Plains? Not to mention elsewhere, the current Huai River land shocked the Qin soldiers. That was too rich.

Having a rich land like the Huai River, while Chu is accusing Qin of being too rich and Qin is too rich and strong. What does this mean? It shows that Chu is incompetent, and Chu is guarding the treasure mountain and calling it poor, which is really speechless.

Wang Jian rode on the horse, listening to the soldiers' discussions, and quickly inspire the morale of the army and shouted: "Brothers: You see, this is the Huai River, the beautiful land of Chu, and the Huai River is the richest place of Chu. Today, we will turn the treasure pot of Chu into ruins. You can do your best to destroy it!"

"Destruction! Destruction!" The soldiers saw with their own eyes that the richness of the Huai River is no worse than that of Guanzhong. If the Huai River is destroyed, it would be a great thing, and they would all cheer loudly.

"Brothers: Before destroying the Huai River, I will lead you to see Shouchun!" Wang Jian's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly: "Shouchun is a big city of Chu, extremely prosperous, and richer than Chen City! Shouchun's prosperity and wealth is second only to the capital of Chu Ying, and even compared to Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty!"

For ordinary Qin soldiers, they have no real impression of the prosperity and prosperity of Shouchun. However, when Wang Jian mentioned Chencheng, the capital of Chu Ying and Qinxianyang, they could have an intuitive and real impression, all of which were the light of a hungry wolf in his eyes.

"Go to Shouchun!" Wang Jian waved his right hand, like thunder and lightning, with extraordinary momentum.

"Shouchun! Shouchun!" Qin soldiers howled and galloped. Looking at their anxious appearance, they wanted to grow a pair of wings and fly to Shouchun immediately.

Shouchun is the important land of Chu, the most important city of Chu in the Huai River, a place of beauty, and the center of the entire Huai River.

Shouchun is a majestic city, built with great strength, with high and thick walls, which can be said to be solid.

Moreover, Shouchun is still very big, much bigger than Chencheng, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

It is precisely because Shouchun is so prosperous and lively, and it is also the central city of the Huai River. After Xiang Yan was defeated by Wang Jian in Tianzhong Mountain, he led the remnants of Chu State's defeated soldiers and defeated generals. He embraced the King of Chu to Shouchun, and decided to resist here, and wanted to resist stubbornly. As a result, Xiang Ruo was shot by a wandering arrow and died. Shouchun was quickly captured by Wang Jian, and Chu State was declared destruction.

Therefore, Shouchun is the last capital of Chu State.

Wang Jian led the Qin army to Shouchun and saw a look that it was a mighty city with a vast atmosphere and a radius of dozens of miles.

"If you want to attack Shouchun, it will take a lot of effort." Wang Jian rode on the horse and looked at Shouchun. He secretly estimated that if he attacked for a strong attack, even if the Qin army's bravery and good fighting would be severely injured.

"I am a surprise attack today. I don't have to pay any price." Then, Wang Jian was glad again. Fortunately, this was a surprise attack, not a strong attack, which could reduce a lot of the price.

"Kill!" Wang Jian pulled out the Qin sword suddenly, flapped his wrist, and a beautiful sword flower appeared, and rushed towards Shouchun with a slap in his horse.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Qin army soldiers howled and rushed towards Shouchun like a tiger going down the mountain.

At this time, Shouchun and Chencheng were in similar situations. There were countless pedestrians coming and going. When they first saw the arrival of the Qin army, they were all stunned and looked like a ghost.

Shouchun is located in the heart of Chu State, and the Qin army actually appeared here. They couldn't be stunned. Their feeling was like a dream.

When the Qin army cut off their heads with a sharp sword in their hands, they had to believe that this was true. Unfortunately, it was too late.

After the Qin army killed these pedestrians, they rushed into the city as quickly as possible, and a massacre began.

This massacre lasted longer than that of Chencheng. The massacre in Chencheng ended in just a long time, while the massacre in Shouchun lasted for three days and four nights, because there were too many people in Shouchun, hundreds of thousands of people.

By the end of the massacre, the entire Shouchun had turned into a Shura hell, with corpses everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and broken internal organs everywhere... Even the Shura hell was probably inferior to it.

"Wow!" Blood flowed into a small river, flowing into the moat, making a beautiful sound of flowing water.

"Wow!" Wang Jian pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse stopped. A wave of blood splashed at the horse's hooves, making a beautiful sound of running water.

"Have you found Cang Bian?" Wang Jian asked.

"Report to General, I found it." General Qin replied quickly, and couldn't help but say, "General, I didn't tell you, Shouchun is indeed very rich. It's even richer than Chencheng's warehouse. There are so many food and grass that I can't count. The pile of gold and silver treasures that are all in the mountains almost blinded my eyes."

The wealth of Shouchun should be above Chencheng, which was not surprising to Wang Jian's expectations. Wang Jian ordered the Qin general to lead the way and came to the warehouse to take a look. He almost loaded it off the horse's back.

Wang Jian was far beyond his reach, both ingenuity and courage. The reason why he was so shocked was that the food, grass and gold and silver treasures stored in Shouchun in Chu were far beyond his imagination. Even a army of 500,000 could be eaten for three years.

"General, we'll set off immediately." General Qin speculated according to convention.

"No!" Wang Jian shook his head and said, "Shouchun will not burn for the time being. We will temporarily regard Shouchun as a supply place, and then divide our troops out to destroy the Huai River."

The Huai River Land is the place where the state of Chu is so beautiful. If it destroys the Huai River Land, it will be extremely heavy to deal with the Chu State. Of course, the Huai River Land is very large, and it is not easy to destroy it. It requires a base. Shouchun is the best base.

Under Wang Jian's deployment, the Qin army divided its troops and destroyed them in a large manner. It was not until ten days later that the Qin army burned Shouchun with a torch.
