Li Yuan almost roared out the latter sentence.

You must know that in order to deal with the attack of Zhao State, Li Yuan has been doing everything possible to catch strong men in various parts of Chu State these days.

According to the report half a month ago, there were already [-] soldiers in Yingdu.

Although Li Yuan knew very well that the so-called [-] soldiers were more like [-] mobs, but with such a force, at least Li Yuan still had some hope of fighting Zhao Guo.

As for surrendering to Zhao Guo, to be honest, it's not like Li Yuan hasn't thought about it.

However, Li Yuan has been dormant in the state of Chu for so many years, and finally regained power. This feeling of controlling a country's power and becoming the master is so wonderful that Li Yuan is reluctant to give up. I am willing to go back to the days when I bowed my head and treated others as a dog.

The second reason, needless to say, is because of Mao Sui.Li Yuan is still very angry that he has been played by Mao Sui so many times, and thinking that if he surrendered to Zhao Guo, he would see Mao Sui's stinky face every day, and he would be a minister with Mao Sui every day, Li Yuan would be very angry. I feel like I can't get past this.

So after a brief moment of temptation, Li Yuan rejected the possibility of surrender and concentrated on preparing for the battle.

In the end, let’s prepare for the battle. After several months of preparation, 5 people have become 3? ?

Originally, the hope of 5 people being able to successfully defend the city was already very small, but now it is reduced to 3 people, how can this be done?

Li Yuan's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said almost word by word, "What's going on here?"

When he said this, Li Yuan's words clearly carried a murderous intent.

Li Yuan's cronies were obviously frightened by Li Yuan's temper, and no one dared to speak for a long time.

Seeing that Li Yuan's anger had gradually reached the brink of eruption, a confidant finally spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, in fact, these people have all fled quietly."

"Fleeing?" Li Yuan said very dissatisfied: "Could it be that there are only military judges in the army? The fleeing guy, just catch him and behead him!"

The confidant coughed dryly, and said in a more cautious tone: "Actually, the military judge also escaped."

Li Yuan froze for a moment, suddenly he didn't know what to say.

In fact, these cronies still lied to Li Yuan.

The escape did not start half a month ago, but when the news of Zhao's dispatch of troops came.

As a powerful country that once dominated for a while, there are still many sensible people in Chu State.

Think about it, so many countries have already perished in the hands of Zhao Guo, and now this one is so weak, and it has been divided into two halves by Li Yuan and the three major families, and at the same time, Chu, who has been in civil war for two years. The country, how could it be the opponent of Zhao Guo's army?

Not to mention that Zhao Guo's army also possesses the well-known weapon Zhentianlei.

Zhen Tianlei is not too famous for many ordinary people in Chu State.

According to folk rumors, this thunderstorm is a gift from the gods to Zhao. Any army that faces Zhao's army will be completely defeated by the people of Zhao with this power from the gods. No matter how tall the city walls and defense lines are, it is impossible for Zhen Tianlei to be an opponent.

This is an era of superstition, and Chu State is the most superstitious country among the heroes of the Warring States Period.

The monarchs of Chu State in the past dynasties have always had another "part-time" status, that is, the great witch Zhu of Chu State.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that such rumors have dealt a blow to the hearts and morale of Chu people.Coupled with the years of foreign and civil wars in the Chu Kingdom, the burden on the people has already reached a very heavy level, and it can be said that they are overwhelmed.Therefore, when it was learned that Zhao Jun had really begun to go south, a large-scale desertion wave was inevitable.

It's not just deserters, in fact, the population of Yingdu is also decreasing at a very fast speed.

Before this, the tall city walls and numerous soldiers in Yingdu would give the people here a great sense of security, but now everyone knows that such a city wall can't stop the Zhao people from shaking the sky!

That being the case, if we don't take advantage of the moment to run away, do we have to kill Zhao Guoren before our eyes?

Somewhat ironically, even these cronies in front of Li Yuan were already secretly prepared to run away, but Li Yuan was still kept a secret by these subordinates.

Li Yuan sat down weakly, and said after a while, "How long will it take for Zhao Jun to reach Yingdu?"

The confidant replied: "As many as half a month, as little as ten days."

Li Yuan was silent for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh, and said: "From today on, close the city gate and enter the state of defense."

Chapter 28 Competing Each Other (Second Update)

General Lian Po didn't know that just the news of his arrival had put so much pressure on the people of Chu, and even left the city of Yingdu almost half empty.

But in fact, this general didn't care about this matter at all. After all, for General Lian Po, conquering Yingdu and destroying Li Yuan was the ultimate goal.

Of course, for this purpose, General Lian Po was also paying attention to another matter.

"Where is Pang Nuan?" General Lian Po's beard swayed against the wind, his weather-beaten old face was full of resolute expression, his whole person was not angry and majestic, like a tiger that is old but still powerful in the mountains and forests .

In fact, it is not that no one has doubted whether Lian Po, who is now in his 60s, can still lead the army to fight, but the hot-tempered old general obviously cannot bear this kind of questioning that he regards as insulting. The courtier beat him up hard, and demonstrated his martial arts in front of everyone, and even defeated three of Zhao Dan's personal guards in the hall with one against three.

This matter made Zhao Dan very happy on the spot, and even exclaimed in public: "Look, General Lian Po can fight for at least another ten years!"

It is really difficult to measure an old general like this by the standards of ordinary people.

Standing next to Lian Po was his old partner, Le Cheng, who replied, "According to the distance calculation, General Pang Nuan's troops should have arrived in Zhongli, and it is estimated that they will cross the Huai River within two days."

The corner of Lian Po's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "I have actually accelerated the speed along the way. Since Pang Nuan wants to wrestle with me, how can he march at the normal speed? If I guessed correctly, he is now The whole army should have crossed the Huai River."

Le Cheng thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I heard that the three major families have set up a defense line on the edge of the Yangtze River. If General Pang Nuan wants to attack Wucheng, it will take some time. Our army only needs to get through this time." Hanshui, the road to Yingdu is unimpeded. From this point of view, the time is definitely enough."

Lian Po thought about it, and laughed happily: "That's right. Alright, let's pass on the order, and the whole army will speed up to cross the river and set up camp on the other side of the river!"

It has to be said that as a general, Lian Po's judgment is indeed quite keen. When he led the army under his command to cross the Han River, the two old partners, Pang Nuan and Ju Xin, also led another The army of Zhao Guo crossed the Huai River thousands of miles away to the east, and was marching towards the Yangtze River non-stop.

"Mr. Wu Ding, considering the current distance, our army does not seem to be taking advantage. After all, Yingdu does not have the Yangtze River as a barrier." The grey-haired Ju Xin looked a little haggard, and his body kept moving with the horse's back. Obviously, the long military career has had a considerable impact on this veteran.

After all, not everyone is Lian Po, and in terms of age, Ju Xin is older than Lian Po.

Pang Nuan, who was also full of white hair, glanced at his friend beside him and sighed: "Qiqing, why do you do this? In fact, you only need to sit safely in Handan, and being your logistics manager is not enough alright?"

Ju Xin chuckled, and said: "Mr. Wu Ding, I don't like to hear your words. I think I was also Yan Guo Yaqing back then. I came to Zhao Guo to work hard for ten years, but now I can't go up or down. I'm far away from the position of the king. There is always such a slight difference, how can you be willing to change it for you? It’s not that you can fight before you die, maybe you can make a way out for future generations.”

Pang Nuan shook his head and said with a broken smile: "You, you always have such a tone. In fact, I have known your character for a long time. In fact, you are so competitive and refuse to fall behind me in everything, right? "

Ju Xin smiled and said: "Wu Dingjun is the one who knows me!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the passionate age when they were young.

After a while, the laughter stopped.

Pang Nuan stared at Ju Xin in front of him with piercing eyes: "Since this is the case, then I can't say that this time, for the sake of Ju Qing, I will try to win the first victory from the general!"

Ju Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I'm not very clear now, how to break through the Yangtze River defense line of the three major families."

Pang Nuan smiled, ordered the left and right to bring a pair of military maps, and then temporarily stopped at a place on the side of the road, and began to point out the country with Ju Xin.

This map is the detailed map of the eastern battlefield on Pang Nuan's side during Zhao Guo's attack on Chu.

Since Zhao Guo has occupied this area for a long time, the accuracy of this map is still very high.
