The King of Chu let out a scream, pushed the two beauties in his arms to the ground, and jumped up from the couch.
Because the movement was too violent, it even tore the newly healed wound on his buttocks, and bright red blood flowed down King Chu's thighs.
But the King of Chu did not care about this at all. He stared with his eyes and his face was ferocious.
"Zuo Tu? Where is Zuo Tu!"
After a while, Sun Chang, the left disciple, hurried into the palace of King Chu.
"Bugu has a majestic city with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Zhao Tuo and Qin's troops outside the city only have 20,000 or 30,000 people. How can he attack Shouchun in Bugu?"
"This is fake news!"
The King of Chu was holding his cud, his eyes were red, and he stared at Zuo Tu in front of him, hoping to get an answer that would reassure him.
Sun Chang closed his eyes and thought of the king's cronies he saw being dragged down and beheaded by King Chu's guards when he came here.
He knew what the king wanted to hear.
But now that the Qin army has entered the city, is there any use in deceiving oneself with lies?
Sun Chang gritted his teeth and started from the beginning: "In the past few days, there have been rumors circulating in the city. It is said that there are mountain ghosts celebrating the Spring Festival, and foxes croaking to say that Chu will die. Some people even took out silk books from the belly of fish and wrote 'Tuo, the one who destroyed Chu'"
language……"
"It's fake! If Yu Wei An can produce a silk book, it must be forged by someone with knowledge of the Qin Dynasty in the city, hoping to deceive the hearts of our Chu people!"
The King of Chu was gnashing his teeth, but at this time he came to his senses and revealed the mystery with one sentence.
Sun Chang smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "But those ignorant common people believe it to be true. Even if we order people to suppress the rumors, it is useless. Moreover, those people connected the previous sacrifices at the top of the city of the king and prayed for the chief minister's life to no avail.
, saying that the gods have abandoned Jingchu."
The king of Chu was silent.
When the Qin army came to the city, even he, the great king, wanted to pray to the gods for help. It was natural for those ignorant untouchables to listen to the words of ghosts and gods.
Sun Chang continued: "So in Shouchun, the people were not focused on the livelihood of the people, and the soldiers had no intention to fight. In addition, the Qin army was out all day long with people holding strange weapons to bully the city. Therefore, when the Qin army attacked the city, our Chu army had no intention to fight."
The people responded to the battle, but although the city wall was strong, it was captured by the Qin army in one fell swoop. There were also powerful families in the city who responded to the Qin people and opened the city..."
"How many people are there in my palace?"
The King of Chu interrupted Sun Chang's words with his cud, and his face was ferocious at this moment.
After killing the crony who reported the military intelligence, he had woken up from the gentle land.
Now the words of his disciple Sun Chang put the bloody reality in front of him. Under such circumstances, King Chu could only raise his head and face the cruel future.
Judging from what Sun Chang said, the Qin army easily captured the Shouchun city wall, and I am afraid that most of the tens of thousands of Chu troops would surrender to the Qin people.
The outer city of Shouchun has fallen, and he can only be trapped in the palace.
"Although the Qin army captured the city gate, its troops were few. General Ye Bai gathered the guards from Guangdong and Guangxi and the remaining soldiers and retreated to the palace city with more than 10,000 people. The palace city is high and solid, surrounded by rivers, and there is a lot of food and grass. If they hold on, the Qin army will be short.
Time cannot be taken away."
Sun Chang comforted him for a while and then suggested: "Although the palace city is solid and the food and grass are sufficient, the hearts of our soldiers are unstable. At this time, the king can sincerely order the queen and the following to be organized among the soldiers in the palace.
If you work hard and scatter all the treasures and treasures of the royal family to feed the soldiers, then the morale of the army will be stable and the soldiers will be able to use their lives!"
"Although the outer country has fallen, the Qin army is still small, and there must be loyal people in Shouchun City. As long as the Qin army brutalizes the city and provokes the Chu people to resist, the king will send his generals out of the palace to attack the Qin people.
, it may not be impossible to take advantage of the situation and expel him from Shouchun."
The King of Chu lowered his crotch and nodded slightly. At this time, what Zuo Tu said is indeed the only way.
Stick to the palace city in the hope of something unexpected happening.
"I will follow Zuo Tu's advice and send out gold and jade from the palace to reassure the soldiers. Bu Gu will go there in person to comfort the soldiers later."
Hearing this, Sun Chang sighed secretly.
The king finally woke up and became a qualified monarch by doing this.
It's just that it's too late.
Watching Zuo Tu leave.
King Chu's hands were trembling in his sleeves.
"Then Zhao Tuo is so despicable. He uses rumors to confuse our Chu people and destroy our city. How shameless!"
Although he was cursing, the king's eyes were full of despair.
He knows it very well.
With Shouchun's outer walls in ruins, how many days can a mere palace and city survive in the hands of the Qin people?
When the Qin army will take over his Chu palace, it all depends on the Qin general Zhao Tuo’s wishes.
The King of Chu was carrying the cud and couldn't help but think of what Zuo Tu had just said in the fish belly silk script.
He murmured: "Tuo is the one who destroys Chu."
…
"The general is extremely brave and brave. I, the Jin family, are willing to use a thousand private soldiers to help the general attack the Chu Palace!"
"The Bai family is willing to send five hundred troops to help the general defeat the palace and city of the King of Chu and overthrow the country of Chu!"
"I, the Zheng family, are also willing to do my best to help the general destroy Chu!"
In the tent of the Qin army outside the city, several noblemen of the Chu state, dressed in brocade robes and high crowns, stood in the tent, nodding and bowing to the Qin general on the throne, with smiles on their faces.
The Qin army broke through the outer walls of Shouchun and within half a day took control of the eight gates of Shouchun and the capital of Chu.
The Chu army was greatly defeated. Some of the soldiers surrendered to the Qin army on the spot, while the other soldiers who were unwilling to surrender retreated to the palace of the King of Chu under the leadership of Chu general Ye Bai.
Tens of thousands of Chu people in the city were trembling with fear. Because of the rumors of various oracles and the policy propaganda of the Qin army, they had no intention of resisting. They all stayed at home and waited tremblingly for the victory to be dealt with.
The next move of the Qin army was beyond the expectations of these Chu people.
Except for controlling key places such as the city gates, the Qin people did not send a single soldier to the city.
Instead, the nobles of Chu State who surrendered were appointed to deal with all kinds of chaos in Shouchun City, and these surrenderers were asked to appease the people and encircle and suppress the resisters.
The Qin army allowed the original nobles to rule the original civilians and surrendered Chu soldiers.
During the war, the policy of Chu people governing Chu was implemented.
As a result, the countless Chu people in Shouchun City all felt at peace and had no intention of resisting.
Qin Jun is really trustworthy.
No killing, no robbery, no troops even sent into the city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you are true to your word, who can be dissatisfied?
This made those Chu righteous people who were originally loyal to Chu and prepared to incite the people to revolt and expel the Qin army suddenly became very embarrassed.
Not only were they unable to incite the Chu people, but they would be surrounded and suppressed by soldiers sent by the nobles.
There was no scene in Shouchun City as imagined by the King of Chu, Zuo Tu and others, in which the Qin people tortured the people and the Chu people rose up to resist.
On the contrary, most areas of the city have returned to peace and order, except for a few areas that are still in the hands of people who love Chu and are in a stalemate with the capitulationists.
The Chu people seemed to have accepted the result of being ruled by the Qin army.
Under such circumstances, the towering palace of the King of Chu with the red phoenix flag in the city seemed even more abrupt.
The nobles of the Chu State who surrendered saw that the Qin army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the Chu Palace, but each one of them behaved more anxiously than the Qin people.
They kept sending people to ask General Zhao to attack the Chu palace as soon as possible, and they were willing to be the pioneers of the Qin army to attack Jingchu.
Facing the Chu nobles who wished to overthrow Jingchu Sheji as soon as possible, Zhao Tuo just shook his head.
"I know your intention towards Qin."
"But the time has not come yet. All you have to do now is manage the affairs of the city and prevent chaos. This will be a great achievement."
"Being ignorant of the destiny and clinging to the palace is nothing more than a mantis' arm acting as a chariot. When our Qin army arrives, we will destroy it in one fell swoop, so don't worry."
Zhao Tuo rejected their proposal.
These nobles who were full of "enthusiasm to destroy Chu" could only leave in disappointment.
"When a country is about to perish, in addition to loyal people, it is also the party who leads the way."
Zhao Tuo sighed lightly.
Seeing the Chu people leaving and the generals who accompanied Zhao Tuo to receive the Chu people in the tent, some of them immediately lost their patience.
"General, now that Shouchun has come, why don't we take advantage of the situation and attack the Chu Palace?"
Black Butt screamed, his eyes shining brightly and said: "Breaking the Chu Palace, capturing the King of Chu, and destroying the State of Chu, this is a world-shaking achievement! Our soldiers have been gearing up for a long time. As long as the general gives the order, they will not need the help of these Chu people."
If you can capture the Chu Palace in one battle, capture the King of Chu, and give him a good kick in the butt!"
"Yes, General. If we capture the Chu Palace, it will be the most conspicuous achievement of this battle. The king will definitely reward the general generously, and he may even directly grant the general the title of marquis!"
Zhang He, Bai Rong, Xiqigu and others looked at Zhao Tuo expectantly.
Even Shejian, Zhao Guang, Su Jiao, Zhong Limei, Lu Wan and others showed excitement on their faces.
Destroy the king!
Such achievements are enough to shock the world.
In the future, whenever people in the world mention Chu, they will think that the one who destroyed Chu was Qin general Zhao Tuo.
Even these generals who followed and participated in the battle to destroy Chu will feel the supreme honor.
Moreover, in addition to glory, the king will definitely give them the most generous rewards, and their promotion to the next level of title will definitely be guaranteed.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the generals and feeling their excitement, Zhao Tuo just smiled indifferently.
He said softly: "Destroying the country and the captive king is indeed a great achievement. But if we do this, where will the general and other generals be placed?"
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
"General."
An awkward smile appeared on the generals' faces.
"We captured Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and took control of the entire city. Not only did we demonstrate the capabilities of our army, it was also a great achievement. This feat combined with our previous achievements will surely earn you the title of lord."
Zhao Tuo spoke slowly and explained: "But it's time to stop here. If our army captures the Chu Palace and captures the King of Chu before the army led by the general arrives, it may seem like a great achievement, but it is an army."
To take all the credit is to eat alone!"
"Which of the generals in the army can be willing to do this? How will the general treat us?"
"The contributions of more than ten generals, dozens of captains, and hundreds of thousands of troops have all been monopolized by our army, hehe..."
As Zhao Tuo said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
All the generals in the tent sighed.
They also understand the truth, but the great achievement of destroying the country is right in front of them, and the huge temptation is really unbearable.
Zhao Tuo was very calm.
He clearly knew that taking the credit for destroying Chu alone seemed to be of great benefit, but it was not a good thing.
You must know that Zhao Tuo already stole the show with his great victory in Zhencheng. Now if he monopolizes the power of destroying Chu, he will offend many people.
General Wang Jian, deputy general Yang Duanhe, general Bi Feng Wuze, Qiang Yu...
At that time, I don’t know how many people will hate and scold Zhao Tuo in their hearts.
The boy didn't know the rules, he only knew how to eat alone and wouldn't even let anyone drink the soup.
These people are all senior generals of the Qin State, and behind them are the generals of various families. Zhao Tuo does not know how many people he will have enemies with.
The great achievement of destroying the country and the captive king looks very tempting, but the danger lurking behind it is so great that Zhao Tuo feels numb in his back just thinking about it.
He had been at odds with Mengshi before, and he had a rift with Li Si because of Li You.
Now, if many Qin people will be dissatisfied with him because of the destruction of Chu, then everyone in the dynasty will be enemies. Will he still want to hang out in Qin in the future?
Therefore, instead of living alone and making enemies with many generals, it is better to wait for the arrival of the army and share the credit.
When the army arrived in Shouchun, all the generals knew that Zhao Tuo had the ability to destroy the country and the king, but they kept holding back and waiting for everyone to come.
Who wouldn’t like colleagues who understand the rules and share the credit?
In this way, Zhao Tuo not only has meritorious service, but also has good relations with everyone, and everyone is happy. Isn't it wonderful?
“It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together.”
