The situation of the Chu State was over, and Shouchun would not be able to withstand their attack in the future. The fate of the King of Chu was determined. He was captured by them at this time, but it was just a little too early.
"Looking at the previous behavior of the King of Chu, he was not someone who wanted to surrender to Qin."
"It's most likely a family rumor."
Bai Qianhong took a small step forward, cupped her fists in a salute, and shook her head slightly. At this time, King Chu surrendered... It seemed like a good thing.
This is not the case.
I know a lot about the Chu State, and the same goes for King Chu of Chu. He is not the kind of person who surrenders in the face of battle.
On the contrary, only those noble families have this thought.
"Oh, tell me."
When Wang Jian heard this, he also smiled slightly and looked to pass.
"Although the Chu army was defeated by our army, Shouchun is about to be conquered."
"For the Chu royal family, this is a devastating disaster."
"But for those old aristocratic families, it does not damage their foundation. Offering the King of Chu at this time can actually maintain their strength."
"Next, we will take advantage of the opportunity to fight Qin to cause chaos, or use the remaining royal family of the Chu Kingdom as a guide, and it will become the legacy of the Three Jin Kingdoms."
Facing the gazes in the shogunate's military tent, Bai Qianhong nodded.
He spoke slowly and explained the information in the general's previous secret report one by one. Compared with the three Jin countries, the biggest problem of the Chu country is that the old aristocrats have great power.
In this battle, the Chu royal family can be defeated, but Chu still has considerable remaining power.
"Hahaha, what do you think?"
Wang Jian gently stroked his short beard under his chin with one hand and smiled appreciatively.
His eyes fell on the other generals.
"What General Bai said is so possible."
"Sure enough, if the King of Chu wants to surrender, he can just withdraw his defense from the city wall."
Zhao Tuo responded. He knew about General Bai's strategy many years ago. At that time, he was still a young man.
Now, we are in the same place again.
The King of Chu wanted to surrender. After General Bai's analysis, it was indeed like a trap, a trap to preserve the power of the family.
"Like that."
The generals on the left and right hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Indeed, the Qin army now has an absolute advantage. Even if it takes some effort, there is no need to take that risk.
Noon!
Without giving the Shouchun garrison more breathing time, all battalion headquarters were already prepared, just as Meng Wu said before.
In less than half an hour, Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, was completely destroyed by the Qin army's fierce siege, and the city wall collapsed, and the army poured into the city like a tide.
Following the previous strategy, the elite cavalry went straight into the royal city and captured all the important people.
"General!"
"The King of Chu was captured in the royal city with his cud, but... the king's seal was not revealed."
The military commander came to report.
"Pass the King's Seal?"
"Does the King of Chu know about it?"
Wang Jian was already walking into Shouchun on the streets of the city that had been cleaned up. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"I don't know this..."
"I heard that Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, once entered the royal city and stayed with the King of Chu for a long time. He disappeared before we and our army completely surrounded Shouchun."
"Would it be with Mr. Changping? After all... they all have the blood of the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom."
Army Sima shook his head. Although he didn't know it, there was another piece of news that could be used as a reference.
The King's Seal will never fall into the hands of those noble families.
There is a possibility that it falls into the hands of Lord Changping.
"Changping-kun!"
"If he wants to succeed, he must unite Xiang Yan's main force, send orders to Meng Tian and Zhao Tuo's troops, lead the golden fire cavalry and elite flying cavalry, and quickly pursue Xiang Yan's troops."
Mentioning Changping Lord Xiong Qi, Wang Jian looked a little solemn.
This person has already been punished with death. If he had not been the person, Li Xin's army would have gone south last year. Even if they were defeated by Xiang Yan's main force, they would have been able to retreat without any hindrance.
There won't be that much damage.
Nowadays, it is possible to bear the King's Seal of the Kingdom of Chu, which is very difficult and sensitive.
It would be impossible for him to escape alone with the help of the Chu family. He was able to establish himself in the Chu country and it was Xiang Yan who helped him.
The only one he can rely on is Xiang Yan.
As long as we pursue Xiang Yan's whereabouts, we can find the whereabouts of Lord Changping.
"Here!"
The army commander nodded and said yes.
…
…
"Escort the King of Chu and a group of important officials to Xianyang!"
The king of Chu and the ministers of the clan who stayed in Shouchun were captured and imprisoned in bronze prison cars. Their treatment was followed by other countries.
"Here!"
Army Sima and marching commander Shi Yili looked at General Wang Jian who was drafting documents.
"The army is stationed in Shouchun, and the battalion is stationed outside the city."
Hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered here, and the next step is to reorganize. After Xiang Yan's troubles are solved, Huainan can be completely captured.
"Here!"
"..."
The generals looked at each other and nodded.
"The Kingdom of Chu... although there is no general trend now, the document says that it is still too early to attack and destroy it."
"When good news comes from Li Xin, Meng Tian, and Zhao Tuo, we will go to Chu and destroy them."
He handed the written document to the marching commander, Shi, and quickly returned to Xianyang to report the results of the battle here. Ruoyan said that at this moment, Chu State was attacked and destroyed.
It's not impossible.
But Wang Jian thought it was not enough.
******
"Sir, the war in Chu State...is it over?"
"The confrontation in Huaibei is more than a year old, but it can be reversed in just two or three days. It is really... difficult to predict."
Spring time!
The breath of spring is already blooming here in Gangneung, Nanjun. In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, the green plants are already spreading a different kind of greenery.
The breeze from the past few days is much refreshing, no longer as cool as winter.
After receiving the news from Chudi, Nongyu's exquisite face was full of surprise. Although she was quiet and guarded, she still found it incredible.
I thought that there would be a fierce confrontation between the two sides, with constant exchanges between each other. In the end, the Qin army won, which should be a very imaginative process.
However, judging from the documents in hand, it is completely one-sided.
The Chu army wanted to retreat to Huainan, but was attacked by the Qin army at night.
As a result..., the result is gone.
"I didn't think of it either."
"But this is a good result. In the spring, we will go to Huaibei, and this year we can go to the south of the Yangtze River."
"The remnants of Xiang Yan's army can't hold on for long."
Zhou Qing was equally shocked.
Regarding the war that lasted for many years, I knew the outcome, but the process was not clear. Is this really the case?
Not sure!
Because often the opportunity to reverse the situation of the battle is a small thing. If you seize it, you will win.
General Wang Jian is indeed wise.
Shouchun has also been captured. It can be said that... the Chu State has been destroyed. When the remnants of Xiang Yan are completely wiped out and the Chuanwang Seal is found, the Chu State will be completely destroyed.
"Sir, so...Sister Qianhong is going to Surabaya?"
Yun Shu, who was accompanying him, also said softly. The young master had said that the war in Chu State was over and Sister Qianhong was about to leave.
"When the remnants of Xiang Yan's troops are finished, the reward will be given in Xianyang."
"Before this autumn, Qian Hong should become the lieutenant of Sishui County, commanding an army of 100,000 people, and planning the affairs of Qi State in the south."
