The big flag with the word "xiang" clearly showed the identity of the army that appeared outside the east wall of Shouchun. Sure enough, General Xiang Liang led the army back to rush for reinforcements.
The Chu army on the east city wall suddenly cheered loudly. The commotion of the Qin army's cavalry under the city clearly further confirmed that the Qin army had not discovered that Xiang Liang's army was crossing the river to help. The Chu army soldiers seemed to have seen the thousands of Qin troops in Xiang Liang
Under the attack of Liang Dajun, the scene was completely annihilated.
The result was that the Chu soldiers on the east wall of Shouchun had their glasses broken.
Seeing the mighty Xiang Liang army rushing behind them with a huge banner with the word "xiang", the Qin army's cavalry, who had just been as murderous as ghosts and gods, did not even engage in the battle, but directly urged their horses.
He turned his horse's head and fled.
That's right, the Qin army was running away.
Because the soldiers of the Chu army on the city wall could clearly see that the Qin army cavalry with several cavalry behind them did not seem to make a sharp turn and fell directly from their horses. It seemed that because the armor on their bodies was extremely inconvenient, they could only resort to lying on the backs of their horses.
posture, escape.
After a brief silence, the Chu troops on the city wall burst out into laughter.
The arrival of Xiang Liang's army completely relaxed the hearts of all the Chu soldiers guarding the city, and their fear of the Qin army disappeared in the laughter.
As Xiang Zi's banner was waving, more than 20,000 people rushed out from the large group of infantry and chased the Qin army's cavalry who had fled. The remaining Chu army headed towards Shouchun City.
Under the high-flying banner with the word "Xiang", several figures stood tall.
Xiang Liang never thought that he would see the day when he saw the big flag that symbolized the glory of the Xiang family and felt sad. Hearing the roar of laughter on the city wall, Xiang Liang even looked pale.
As long as this Qin army uses its own name to deceive the city gate, what else can Shouchun do to stop this Qin army?
Of course, even if the Qin army didn't use tricks to deceive the city gate, Xiang Liang didn't think that the more than 100,000 Chu troops in the hands of Zhaotong and others could hold Shouchun City. A battle that was originally thought to be a sure win, Xiang Liang was completely defeated
I woke up.
For the first time, he began to realize that so many changes had taken place in Da Qin without him knowing it, and no one could shake the existence of Da Qin anymore. If he couldn't do it, neither could Ziying.
Xiang Liang fainted when he was thrown off his horse by a soldier of the Black Bird Army. When he woke up, the White Tiger Army had already begun to clean the battlefield. The first thing Xiang Liang did when he woke up was to commit suicide.
As the leader of the Xiang clan, Xiang Liang still has some backbone. He can allow himself to be defeated, but he cannot allow himself to be captured alive by the Qin people, the Xiang clan's great enemy. That would be a shame for the entire Xiang clan.
Du Teng, who hurried over because Xiang Liang woke up and wanted to commit suicide, completely put an end to Xiang Liang's suicidal thoughts with just one sentence.
"His Majesty the Emperor asked me to tell you that you can commit suicide, but as long as you dare to commit suicide, His Majesty the Emperor will kill the entire Xiang clan. If you do not die, His Majesty the Emperor said that he will not kill any Xiang clan members, as long as your nephew
If my son Xiang Yu is wise, he can also avoid death!"
After Du Teng finished speaking, he turned around and left without staying any longer.
If the emperor hadn't ordered Xiang Liang to live after learning that he was captured alive, Du Teng wouldn't have minded having the chief culprit of the Qin Dynasty cut into pieces.
Although I don't know why the emperor insisted on keeping Xiang Liang alive, Du Teng was used to obeying Hu Hai's orders.
When Xiang Liang heard Du Teng's words, he was stunned for half an hour, and then began to bathe, change clothes, and eat. Fortunately, there were old brothers like Fan Zeng and Song Yi accompanying him. Fan Zeng and Song Yi also did not commit suicide. They were just speculators.
There is no such consciousness as Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang may not care about his own life, but it concerns the entire Xiang family, so Xiang Liang has no choice but to care. In order to save his name, the Xiang family will be wiped out and he will survive. The two continuations of the Xiang family were given by Hu Hai.
In the single-choice proposition, Xiang Liang finally chose to live a poor life in exchange for the continuation of the entire Xiang family.
Xiang Liang's choice was unexpected by Hu Hai.
It wasn't until he arrived at Shouchun City that Xiang Liang knew that Shouchun had been attacked by the Qin army yesterday.
In fact, Shouchun had already sent messengers to notify Shouchun that the Qin army was approaching the city. The messengers including Xiang Yi had to cross the Huaihe River in Shouchun earlier. But these messengers were wandering in the Huaihe River before they saw Xiang Liang.
A large number of White Tiger Army and Qinglong Army scouts on the north bank were either captured alive or killed on the spot. No messenger could see Xiang Liang.
The roar of laughter on the wall of Shouchun City sounded so harsh to Xiang Liang at this moment. After taking a look at the young general of the Qin Army who was also smiling, Xiang Liang really wanted to ask the soldiers of the Chu Army on Shouchun City who they were.
It’s not like my head was caught in the door.
Will such well-equipped cavalry, which has never been seen on the battlefield, flee without fighting? Will they fall off their horses because they see that the enemy cannot even ride their horses safely?
The young general in front of him, Xiang Liang had never heard of his name, was obviously a recently promoted young general in the Qin army. There was also the mysterious Qin army who even did not hesitate to disfigure himself in order to blend into his army.
Why doesn’t Chu State have such talents?
Glancing at Xiang Liang with a bitter look on his face, Du Teng waved his hand to stop the advancing army and said: "Order General Zhan Pei to lead 20,000 infantry to open the Shouchun City Gate. As long as you enter the city, hold the city gate at all costs and follow the
The city wall corridor has climbed up the city wall. The other schools are ready to enter the city at any time!"
"Here!"
The armor and weapons provided by South Vietnam to Xiang Liang did not improve the Chu army's combat power, but it made it easier for Du Teng to trick the Shouchun City Gate into opening. The White Tiger Army did not even need to replace their armor and weapons.
Xiang Liang's banner can directly impersonate the Chu army.
Seeing Zhan Pei leading the 20,000 White Tiger Army infantry approaching Shouchun City, Du Teng looked at Xiang Liang and said with a smile, "I wonder how long Brother Xiang thinks the Shouchun defenders can hold on?"
At this moment, a knight ran from the rear of the formation and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty has an edict!"
Du Teng's face changed slightly. He had just received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor in the morning. At this time, he received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor again. Could it be that there was a change in the East China Sea, South Vietnam, or Guanzhong?
Taking the rolled-up letter and newspaper with both hands, Du Teng concentrated for a while and sighed: "This is why you can't wait for the rebellious officials and traitors for a long time! If you wait, even if there are millions of soldiers, it will be nothing in front of His Majesty.
Chicken wag!"
As he spoke, Du Teng threw the letter in his hand to Xiang Liang and ordered loudly: "Come here, send an order to General Zhan Pei to lead the army back! Send an order to the entire army to remove all the Chu army's battle flags and replace them with our Da Qin battle flags and
White Tiger Army flag! Go and inform General Weng Zhong of the Xuanwu Army and order the Xuanwu Army to set up their positions and wait for my signal to attack the city! Just say this is His Majesty’s order!”
A series of orders quickly jumped out of Du Teng's mouth. Every time he said an order, a knight would bend down and gallop away on horseback. It was obvious that he was passing on the order.
Xiang Liang did not expect that Du Teng would show him the edict of Emperor Qin. What made Xiang Liang most unexpected was that Emperor Qin would issue an edict when he saw that the Qin army was about to trick the Qin army into opening the gate of Shouchun City.
.
Although I haven't read the content of the edict, it is not difficult to see from Du Teng's series of orders that Emperor Qin asked the Qin army to attack the city by force? Even if Shouchun was captured, how much would the Qin army lose?
With all kinds of doubts, Xiang Liang unfolded the small roll of paper.
The curiosity about the Qin Emperor's edict outweighed the curiosity among Xiang Liang's opponents that he had already learned from Sima Xin about the use of paper by the Qin people.
"The whole world is not the land of Qin, and all the people in the world are the subjects of Qin. The military disaster was not what I wanted. This time we captured Shouchun, we can send an order to the king of Chu Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others to surrender the city. I
He will be exempted from the death penalty, and the past events will not be investigated. I hope you and others will make a good choice for the sake of the people of Chu and the inheritance of the family! It is limited to two hours! If the thieves chief does not surrender, you will attack the city with all your strength, and all the rebels will be defeated.
Thieves and accomplices, blood relatives, no one will be spared!"
After Xiang Liang finished reading, he was silent for a long time, and then silently handed the letter in his hand to Fan Zeng, not knowing what he was thinking.
The people of Chu were already unruly, especially when there were many Baiyue barbarians involved in Xiang Liang's anti-Qin army. With the strength of the Xuanwu Army and the White Tiger Army, Hu Hai thought that the only way to attack Shouchun was to
What depends is a matter of time, and how many casualties Du Teng and Weng Zhong are willing to pay for their soldiers.
Shouchun is easy to attack, but after Shouchun is captured, how to deal with the problem of Chu territory?
The First Emperor used his overwhelming military strength to overthrow the Chu State in one fell swoop, but in the end he left behind a troubled Chu land. He spent countless energy of the Qin Dynasty suppressing rebellions and annihilating the Chu family nobles who wanted to restore the state.
In this way, although the riots can be suppressed very quickly in a short period of time, it leaves behind greater hidden dangers. Qin's laws are strict, and every suppression and execution kills not only the rioters, but also more
Many innocent people were killed.
This is also one of the main reasons why Xiang Liang ascended the mountain and shouted, and countless people in Chu followed him.
If Shouchun is captured with a crushing force this time, then Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others will inevitably die whether they die on the battlefield or are escorted back to Xianyang. People are easy to kill, and they can kill with just a raised sword.
Cut them down, but after killing them, it will only create deeper hatred.
Hu Hai didn't want the vast Chu land, which could become the most prosperous place in the Qin Dynasty, to become a place of turmoil for the next decades or even centuries in the Qin Dynasty. So the only way is to give everyone a step down. Huairou seems to be the current solution to Chu.
The best way.
What's more, leaving Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others behind will be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty in developing and pacifying the Chu land. Using them to appease the Chu people is much better than using sharp blades to appease the Chu people. Spare them now, as long as the Qin people
They have always been stronger than these people, what kind of trouble can they make? As long as the lives of the people in Chu land improve, how many people are willing to resist Da Qin?
Time is the best thing that proves everything!
With the living precedent of Xiang Liang, Hu Hai believes that Xiong Xin and others will also make the right choice!
This urgent edict issued by Hu Hai shocked Wei Liao once again!
In the dull eyes of the Shouchun Chu army, Xiang Liang's army, which had already reached the wide-open city gate and was about to enter the city, quickly retreated. Then, the Xiang-shaped banner flying high in the air disappeared.
, and was replaced by the huge "Qin" banner that chilled all the Chu soldiers to their bones! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member to recommend this work, you
