"From now on, the old land of Cai State will be your fiefdom. I will give you the title of Duke of Cai State. The imperial edict will be issued soon. When Nan Chu is attacked and destroyed, you will be the first to enter the capital of Ying!"
Su Changqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so generous. He gave him the title of Duke of the Kingdom as soon as he came up and also granted him the title of Cai Guo on the spot.
"Congratulations to Duke Cai Guo!" Liang Zhang immediately stepped forward to congratulate him: "Although it is not as good as Mr. Su's title as Lord Wu'an of Southern Chu, this title is already the highest honor in our Dachang, and our Dachang has no one so far.
Feng Guojun."
Zhao Rui was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Mr. Su to have such a status in Nanchu, but I didn't think about it!"
Su Changqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He knew that Wu Anjun's title was his talisman.
The higher his official position in Nanchu, the more tragic his death in the end.
In the past year, Nan Chu's national policies and foreign wars were all planned by him.
If he fails in the end, all the blame will be placed on his head.
If his true purpose of going to Nanchu was discovered again, it would be a light thing to dismember him. Otherwise, he would be executed by Ling Chi, his bones crushed and his ashes thrown away.
"I heard that the people who were canonized as Dukes in Dashang all have extraordinary achievements. I gave them the title of Dukes when I first came here. I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter!" Zhao Rui didn't care about this, he was interested in Su Changqing's talent.
"When you lead your army into the capital of Chu State, this title will be worthy of its name."
While he was talking, the guards from the palace hurriedly broke into the house with a letter.
"Your Highness, urgent report from the Sanchuan front!"
Zhao Rui hurried forward to take the letter, and after taking a look at it, he walked to the map and hammered it hard.
"Okay! Duke Wei lived up to his expectations and successfully captured Sanchuan. He also fought a battle with the Southern Chu army and beheaded 230,000 people."
Everyone present shouted "Hello" in unison.
Only Su Changqing's face was inexplicably shocked. He hurriedly ran to the map, looked at the location of Sanchuan, and then drew a circle in a place.
"If my guess is correct, Duke Wei should have defeated Nan Chu's 400,000-strong army at this place!"
Zhao Rui nodded, with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
"Yes, in this position, what is Cai Guogong's opinion?"
Su Changqing traced back along the map.
"The commander-in-chief of these 400,000 Chu troops is Gongzi Lan. He is a dandy himself. He only cares about pleasure and has no knowledge of leading troops to fight. It is not difficult for Duke Wei to behead 230,000 people, but he is fifty miles away from here.
, there are also 300,000 Chu troops, and their commander is the famous Southern Chu general, Qu Gai!"
Zhao Rui was slightly startled. He had heard of this name before. It was said that he was the oldest general in Southern Chu. He was known as the general who had fought a hundred battles and was also called the pillar of Southern Chu.
Most of the generals in the Southern Chu Kingdom came from his sect.
Although he is nearly seventy years old, his prowess is still the same as before, and he can still fight for Southern Chu in the south and in the north.
Judging from the place Su Changqing pointed to, it should be an important pass. As long as Qu Gai defends this place and sends a large army to attack at the same time, I am afraid that Shan Xin will lose his troops and generals.
Moreover, after Shan Xin takes over the area he has captured so far, he will face a stretch of mountains.
It was impossible for Qu Gai to use such a dangerous terrain, and he would probably suffer a loss if he attacked alone.
"Order, Ba Baili urgently inform Duke Wei that the army will be stationed on the spot to appease the people of Sanchuan. I will send officials to manage it as soon as possible!"
