Chapter 314: Not good, the Qin people moved the city away
April, early spring.
The sun shines with light as clear as water.
In the study, Zhao Huaizhong was annotating the memorial with a white jade pen obtained from a certain sacrifice.
The memorial is an apology document sent back by Wang Jian.
Wang Jian knew that Zhao Huaizhong wanted to capture Xiang Yan alive, but he didn't do it.
Xiang Yan led an army of 30,000 to cut off the rear, and wanted to fight to the death. After the two sides encountered each other, Wang Jian formed a circular formation, opened his mouth on one side, and surrounded but did not fight.
Xiang Yan wanted to fight with all his strength, but the defeated troops under his command had long been beaten down, and their courage to fight had long been gone. He saw the Qin army surrounding them but refused to fight, and the fighting was fierce. If he really wanted to charge forward, he would be cut into pieces immediately.
end.
In this case, how many people are willing to accompany Xiang Yan to death?
So the defeated soldiers chose to escape from the side left by Wang Jian and continued to run east.
The law does not blame everyone.
Tens of thousands of people ran out together through the opening left by Wang Jian. Xiang Yan couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, and even he himself was dragged on his horse by his own soldiers and ran away together.
The situation was once chaotic.
Under this situation, Wang Jian did not try to capture Xiang Yan alive.
Violating the king's orders can be a big or small matter.
This would be a crime of beheading if met by a despotic king.
Zhao Huaizhong didn't feel dissatisfied.
But the majesty of the monarch needs to be maintained, otherwise everyone will make their own decisions and the binding force of the rules will be weakened.
Zhao Huaizhong's reply in the memorial was sternly worded, warning Wang Jian that if he committed the crime again next time, he would be punished twice without mercy.
But thinking that this is my first offense... I will be fined three months' salary first, which is a light punishment.
In the morning, Zhao Huaizhong received the news that the bronze man was completed.
After finishing what he was doing in the afternoon, he came to Dihuo Cave.
Just like the last routine, the bronze man stood in the cave sky, in a still state, waiting for Zhao Huaizhong to start it.
The difference is that in this bronze man's body, there is a reduced Kyushu tripod in the Dantian, helping it gather the power of heaven and earth.
From the moment this bronze figure is successfully cast and activated, its eyes light up with two clear lights, and it can move directly without needing to spend several days accumulating and absorbing the power of heaven and earth.
Because it has the Kyushu Cauldron inside it as a plug-in.
Clang!
The bronze man was awakened, and there was a bronze vibration in his body, a sound like the collision of thousands of swords.
It followed Zhao Huaizhong and bent out of the cave on its own.
In its Dantian, a large cauldron rises and falls, continuously gathering and swallowing the powerful vitality of heaven and earth like a long river.
"Go and join your companions."
Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Chujing.
Another bronze figure of his son is on the front line of the Chu territory, accompanying the army to attack the city.
At this moment, corresponding to the second hour of the twelve hours, the bronze figure named "Chou" immediately took big steps and ran away.
Boom boom boom!
The ground shook, the power inside the bronze man's body circulated, and countless spells came into play to reduce its body weight.
Its speed is getting faster and faster, crossing the mountains and rivers, heading towards the Chu land.
Zhao Huaizhong came back from the Ministry of Construction on the outskirts of the city and came to Mu Yangjing.
Flower house.
Qilin and Xuanniao also went out with the army, but they did not return after attacking Chu.
Lu Wu and Fat Hu were on duty in Kunlun, leaving only the fat rabbit like a furball holding a medicine pestle in his hand, helping Mu Yangjing sort out the medicinal materials.
The red and colorful cockscombs are walking in the yard.
It tilted its head and stared with its chicken eyes at a fat caterpillar that was desperately climbing under the tree, trying to escape from the chicken's mouth.
The caterpillar's body arched up, and then flattened out again, using the thrust created between the bows and dips to make itself crawl faster.
Colorful walked with the unique steps of a rooster and followed the insect in a playful manner. It waited until the insect was about to crawl under a tree and successfully hide, then it grew a beak like electricity, rolled the insect into its mouth, refined it and swallowed it.
.
The flowers and plants are everywhere, the vegetation is vivid, and the leaves are swaying in the warm breeze of early spring.
When Zhao Huaizhong came, Jiang Ji was also there.
There were also two little ones, Zhao Ji, the crown prince of Qin, and Zhao Ying, his sister-in-law, who were also taken out of the palace to play.
Mu Yangjing felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him. After all, Jiang Shu was also there.
My disciple's man is also my man, this feeling... Tsk!
The two women were gathering behind a low mat to study flowers and plants. Zhao Huaizhong squeezed in between the two without hesitation.
The nose is immediately filled with a charming and elegant scent.
The fragrance is like orchid, the fragrance that comes out of the tranquility comes from Mu Yangjing, and the sweet smell like lotus leaves comes from Jiang Shu.
Mu Yangjing was arranging a green flower path with her hands. Her bare hands and green leaves complemented each other beautifully. As she flicked them, the fragrance filled her sleeves.
After dusk when drinking wine in Dongli, there is a faint fragrance filling my sleeves. I can't help but feel ecstasy. The west wind blows behind the curtain, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.
Li Qingzhao's poems are quite consistent with the time, place and scene in front of him, but the two beauties in front of him, one big and one small, are not thin, and are more beautiful than the women in the poems.
People and flowers complement each other, charming the city and the country.
The beauty is good-looking, but Zhao Huaizhong was praising himself: "If another foolish king sees you, he will never go to court again."
When the two women were arranging the flowers and plants, they looked attentive and quiet, and did not reply. However, Jiang Shu looked over at them with a happy look, her eyes bright.
After Mu Yangjing tidied the flowers and plants, she stood up and walked into the house, her skirt flying and her ring jingling:
"That's it for today. I still have a furnace of elixirs to refine. The king and queen should return to the palace early.
I'm going back to Shennong's in the evening to see the rice seeds."
This is a secret signal to Zhao Huaizhong, telling this guy not to come at night, otherwise if he sees him, he will definitely operate behind the scenes at night.
Zhao Huaizhong took Jiang Shu's little hand and returned to the palace.
For dinner, we had shabu-shabu.
Because Zhao Huaizhong loves to eat, Jiang Shu has gradually become more interested in all kinds of food in recent years and has become a gluttonous queen.
In this era, the meat slices were all cut by hand. To make the meat slices evenly fat and thin, as thin as paper, the slices of meat were shaken in boiling water and the tenderest part was taken into the mouth.
Delicate pigs, sheep, meat of exotic animals, seafood conch slices and other items have different tastes. Dip it in a well-mixed sauce and put it in your mouth. It will sizzle. It is delicious and plump. Anyone can eat it.
I think this world is worth it.
After eating, the couple took a bath and went to bed.
After raising children, Jiang Shu entered the state of a young woman and was also very greedy for the body of her own man...it was inevitable to outshine the gods.
Early next morning.
Zhao Huaizhong got up a little earlier than usual, went to the study before dawn, and took out the bone mirror.
Chudi.
Qushui City is less than three hundred miles away from Shouchun, the capital of Chu.
Its city walls are thick and strong, and its walls are as large as mountains. After many times of reinforcement and sacrifice formations, it became a city west of Shouchun that could only be defended except for Jingling.
Late at night, the retreating 30,000 Chu troops, led by Xiang Yan, fled eastward to Qushui.
Xiang Yan was worried about bringing panic into the city, so he did not enter the city. Many Chu troops broke up and camped outside the city.
As soon as they settled down, the thunderous sound of horse hooves could be heard in the night.
The Qin army's cavalry followed closely behind the defeated troops and approached Qushui.
In the military camp, Xiang Yan was bitter and a little lucky: As expected, the Qin army repeated its old tricks and wanted to take advantage of our defeat to rush into the city. Fortunately, I was prepared and did not enter the city.
At this time, at the head of Qushui City, the Chu defenders were wearing armor and armed with solemn expressions, and they were ready to hold on.
The sky was slightly bright, and the Qin army's troops and horses were ready, piercing the tranquility before dawn, like an evil dragon rushing out, heading towards Qushui.
In the sky, huge shadows covered the stars.
Two huge heads poked out, looking down from the clouds. One was a black bird and the other was a unicorn.
The mane on the Kirin's neck was flying, and its whole body was burning with purple flames, which was unparalleled in intensity.
Xuanniao condensed a cloud-like black aura under his body, rolling and rolling, covering the sky and the sun.
On the ground, in front of the Qin army, the towering behemoth like mountains is the bronze man who is the puppet of war.
Its steps trampled the earth, causing the ground to vibrate and set off waves.
The Chu army has launched an offensive against the Tongren.
Including people from Jiejiao, the flying sword rose and fell.
However, these offensives have limited damage to the bronze men.
It soon approached Qushui.
At the same moment, the ground in the distance shook even more violently.
Xiang Yan was standing on a low hill on one side, her pupils suddenly tightened, and a look of horror appeared on her face: "Here comes another one..."
That's right, breaking through the night from a distance, another bronze figure was approaching quickly.
Square face, mottled patina, and a body as thick as a mountain.
The ugly bronze man ran close to the outside of Qushui City amidst the horrified voices of the Chu people.
As the distance got closer, the two bronze figures changed at the same time. A cyan beam of light was fired from their respective chests and connected in the air.
The auras of the two bronze figures both climbed up, and their strength increased.
They came to the east and west sides of Qushui City respectively.
Boom!
The city as huge as a mountain, together with the land several feet deep on the ground, was actually lifted up by two bronze figures and held in their hands.
Under the ground, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants were trembling.
Xiang Yan and other Chu soldiers stared at the two bronze figures in stunned silence. They lifted up Qushui City and ran away, running further and further away.
"Those two bronze figures...carried Qushui away?"
Xiang Yan looked at the lieutenant next to him with a stiff neck, and what he saw was the face of the lieutenant who was even more shocked and horrified than him.
"Carried the city away...
How can we fight this battle?"
"General, why don't we surrender..." Someone in the guard team said something.
Then there was deathly silence.
The Qin army has crossed the Qushui like a tide and marched straight into Shouchun.
Xiang Yan shuddered and suddenly woke up.
He completely gave up the defeated army, and with the support of his own soldiers, he galloped towards Shouchun.
Xianyang.
"Your Majesty, the two bronze figures carried Qushui City to the area occupied by our army a hundred miles away. The defenders in Qushui City have already surrendered."
Fan Qingzhou, who came to report, couldn't help but smile: "The power of copper can lift mountains and destroy cities and defenses. It is truly a magical thing."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "After Qushui, the people of Chu will react and use targeted measures.
Chu people still have some wealth."
Fan Qingzhou nodded: "I came here just to talk about this matter.
The spies in the mansion discovered some anomalies. In the coastal area east of Qi Kingdom, a cave entrance appeared out of thin air yesterday and was moving towards Chu people's territory.
There are similar changes along the southern coast.
According to my analysis, it is likely that people from the Jiejiao are gathering in the Chu area.
The news we found before is that there are five caves and four blessed lands in Jiejiao. It seems that these forces are still determined to prevent our great Qin from destroying Chu."
"It's just a good time to use Jie Jiao to test the combined combat power of the two bronze figures."
After Fan Qingzhou resigned, Zhao Huaizhong took out the bone mirror and Kunlun mirror together.
The bone mirror reflected the overseas mountain gate of the Jiejiao Sect, which was as calm as ever, with nothing unusual.
But the Kunlun Mirror reflected the void and captured some special images.
