Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Not only Jingyang, but the other Chu generals present, including Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng, were speechless.

Jingyang took a breath and said, "This Zhao Kuo, does he really have such courage?"

Chunshen Jun coughed, and said with a bit of helplessness: "If it was someone else, maybe they wouldn't, but for Wu Xinjun, it's no surprise that he can do anything."

Jingyang: "" He really couldn't refute this.

Qu Feng couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, then we must send people back now to warn Shouchun City!"

Chun Shenjun nodded, but sighed again: "The old man is only worried now, everything is too late!"

Chencheng is a full five hundred miles away from Shouchun, while Juyang City, where Zhao Kuo is located, is only half the distance from Shouchun.

What's more terrible is that if people are sent from Chencheng to Shouchun to warn, they may encounter Zhao Kuo's soldiers on the way.

At this moment, Chun Shenjun suddenly felt passive, very passive!Jingyang suddenly yelled: "He, Zhao Kuo, is brave enough to fight Shouchun, so why don't we go directly to Handan?

I don't believe it, when our army reaches the city of Handan, will Zhao Kuo return to defense? "

Listening to Jingyang's words, Jun Shen shook his head directly: "This is not allowed."

Jingyang was angry: "Why not?"

Before Chun Shenjun could speak, another urgent military situation arrived: "Zhao Kuo led the army to break through Juyang City in only half an hour!"

Jingyang: "" Chunshen Jun sighed, and said, "Da Sima, do you understand now?

Zhao Kuo does have a secret weapon in his hands, and this secret weapon can exert great power when besieging a city.

And us?

We have nothing in our hands!If we really go to attack Handan, it will take at least eight days just to march.

And eight days is probably already enough for Zhao Kuo to conquer Shouchun several times! "

Jingyang: "" Jingyang really wanted to refute, but he found that this is really irrefutable.

Zhao Zhong said with an incredulous expression on his face, "This Zhao Kuo, how did he come up with such an astonishing weapon?"

Chunshen Jun said in a deep voice: "I don't know about this matter, but the situation in front of me is very obvious. We must return to Shouchun as soon as possible, otherwise once Shouchun is breached, everything will be over!"

When Chun Shenjun said that, everyone was shocked.

You know, in Shouchun City, there is not only the King of Chu, but also all the family members, wives and children present!If Shouchun City is really breached and everyone's wives and children become prisoners of Zhao Kuo, how do you think this battle will be fought?

Can't beat it at all.

Jing Jing woke up like a dream, and called out: "So that's how it is.

It turns out that Zhao Kuo formed an all-cavalry unit for this purpose at the beginning!This Zhao Kuo is really cunning, extremely cunning! "

Jingyang yelled and cursed.

Chun Shenjun on the side looked at Jingyang's gesture and shook his head secretly.

As early as a few days ago, Mr. Chunshen had already mentioned this possibility, but this Jingyang just boasted brazenly, saying that Zhao Kuo would definitely come to Chencheng for a decisive battle.

Well now, not only did Zhao Kuo not come, he even went directly to Shouchun, the capital of the Chu people, which immediately put the Chu army into complete passiveness.

If possible, Chun Shenjun really wanted to slap this Jingyang a few times, to let him know how to spell the typo.

Chunshen Jun suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Send the order, all the cavalry and chariot soldiers will go first, and the infantry will follow, and return to Shouchun as quickly as possible!"

At this time, Jingyang had no choice but to argue with Chunshenjun, and Chunshenjun's orders were resolutely carried out.

Later that day, a mixed force of [-] cavalry and chariot soldiers from the state of Chu set off in a mighty way. Since Chencheng was right next to the chasm, the navy of the state of Chu also sent [-] infantry to rush to Shouchun. .

As for the main force of the remaining 10,000+ infantry, they can only rely on their feet to travel.

At this moment, the generals of the Chu Kingdom had only one thought in mind, that is to return to Shouchun as soon as possible, and Zhao Kuo must not let Zhao Kuo break through Shouchun!Zhao Kuo looked at Juyang City in front of him with a calm expression.

Everything was as expected. Even Juyang City, an important town in the central part of Chu State, only needed a thousand catties of explosives to blow up a gap that satisfied Zhao Kuo.

It doesn't need to be too big, it just needs to be able to let the cavalry break into the city.

Zhao Kuo's 15 soldiers and horses are of course more troublesome when facing the 8000 Chu army led by Chun Shenjun, but facing the more than [-] Chu defenders in Juyang City, it is a matter of charging That's all.

Zhao Kuo's expression remained unchanged, and he ordered to Pang Jian beside him: "pass on the order, don't want any treasures or anything like that, the whole army replenishes all the food and grass, and then distributes all the money to the people in the city. Tomorrow we will just leave.

Also, ask the military judge to step up patrols. If any damn guy dares to commit rape and robbery, I will kill his whole family directly! "

Pang Jian immediately responded when he heard the words, but he said in a puzzled way: "My lord, you said it's fine if we don't carry these treasures, why should we distribute them to these Chu people?"

You must know that Zhao Kuo did not only do this in Juyang City, but also in the previous cities. All the treasures in the treasury of the Chu city were all distributed by Zhao Kuo to the local people. people of Chu State.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said nothing.

In fact, this is a very simple distance meter.

Zhao Kuo will definitely not take this money away, because there is a huge amount of money waiting for Zhao Kuo in Shouchun City. Zhao Kuo doesn't like this small amount of money. Before conquering Shouchun, he only needs to replenish the army's supplies. .

However, due to Zhao Kuo's strategy this time, Zhao Kuo's main purpose of conquering the city was to destroy the defenders in the city, so that Chu State did not have enough vitality to resist and block Zhao Kuo's road. Garrison troops in the city to guard the wealth.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo chose to distribute the official wealth of Chu to the people of Chu directly.

In this way, after the Chu State recovers these cities in the future, the officials must find a way to recover the wealth from the people.

But for the public, who is willing to hand over all the money they have received?

You don't need to think about it to know that there will inevitably be a lot of conflicts between the people and the government of Chu, which will inevitably lead to great dissatisfaction with the government of Chu.

Once the people of Chu State are dissatisfied with the government of Chu State, in the future Zhao Jun will really fight against Chu State and launch a war of annihilation. Some of the people of Chu State who have been suppressed by the State of Chu government will definitely choose to join Zhao State in these cities.

That is to say, Zhao Kuo didn't pay anything, but only used the wealth of the Chu government to successfully buy the hearts of the people of Chu, and turned a group of Chu people into people who favored Zhao.

Is there anything more profitable in the world than this?

It's just that Zhao Kuo didn't explain these things to Pang Jian. Some things need to be understood by oneself. Zhao Kuo can give advice to Pang Jian for a while, but it is impossible to give advice to Pang Jian I.

If Pang Jian really wants to grow up and take over Pang Nuan's mantle and position in the future, then he must learn to grow and think, which is also a test for Zhao Kuo.

At this time, an officer of the Chi You Army rode his horse to report: "My lord, just now a general of the Chu Army and his personal guards killed several of our people and escaped."

Zhao Kuo snorted, a little surprised.

If it was the other Zhao army who died, Zhao Kuo would be fine, but someone could kill Chi You's army and escape successfully?

This is a bit interesting.

Zhao Kuo asked: "This general of Chu State, do you know his name?"

The officer of Chi You's army replied: "Judging from the answers of other prisoners, the name of this general of Chu should be Xiang Yan!"

Zhao Kuo showed a surprised expression on his face: "Xiang Yan?

It turned out to be him! "

Xiang Yan, the last general before Chu's demise.

When Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, the Qin army rarely encountered failures. Only two generals ever defeated the Qin army. One was Li Mu from Zhao State, and the other was Xiang Yan from Chu State!In history, Li Mu defeated the Qin army successively in the Battle of Fei and the Battle of Fanwu, annihilating nearly 20 people of the Qin army, and then led his army to block Wang Jian, preventing Wang Jian from advancing an inch.

In the end, Wang Jian relied on using Qin spies to bribe Guo Kai, a courtier next to Zhao Wangqian. Guo Kai slandered Zhao Wangqian, and Zhao Wangqian directly sent someone to kill Li Mu.

As soon as Li Mu died, Zhao Guo was destroyed by Wang Jian that year.

On the other hand, Xiang Yan fought against the 20 troops from Qin State General Li Xin in the first battle of Qin State to destroy Chu. Xiang Yan used Li Xin's underestimation of the enemy and the rebellion of Qin State Changping Lord to defeat the Qin Army and kill the Qin Army. The seven captains caused more than 10 losses to Qin.

After Li Xin's failure, Qin Shihuang had no choice but to invite Wang Jian out again, and handed over the command of the 60 army to Wang Jian according to Wang Jian's wishes. In the end, Wang Jian successfully defeated Xiang Yan and destroyed Chu State. Xiang Yan also fought in the war. die.

And Xiang Yan also has a very famous grandson, that is Xiang Yu, the famous Western Chu Overlord.

So, such a guy actually ran away under Zhao Kuo's nose like this, which still made Zhao Kuo a little bit complicated.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and said to the Chi You Army officer in front of him, "Where's Sima Shang?

Let him take 2000 people to chase Xiang Yan, it is best to catch him alive, if he can't, he will kill him.

In short, try your best not to let him return to Shouchun alive, understand? "

For Zhao Kuo, although Xiang Yan is indeed a sad character, Xiang Yan and Zhao Kuo have different positions. This person will definitely fight Zhao Kuo to the end.

So, if possible, Zhao Kuo doesn't mind killing Xiang Yan at this point in time, lest Xiang Yan cause more troubles for Zhao Kuo in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo wrote another letter and called the person in charge of Nightingale: "Send this message to Shouchun City immediately and give it to Li Si."

Since the direction of Shouchun City does not know that Zhao Kuo is about to attack, this letter can still be sent to Shouchun City quickly.

Just when Zhao Kuo made the arrangements, on the Yingshui River south of Juyang City, a flat boat was going down the current, heading southeast at a high speed.

On the small boat, several Chu soldiers were standing or sitting, with tired expressions on their faces.

But when they saw the young general of Chu State standing upright at the bow, expressions of admiration suddenly appeared on their faces.

This General of Chu State is naturally Xiang Yan.

At this moment, Xiang Yan's face was full of worry, and she was thinking in her heart.

"Why did Zhao Kuo, the Wu Xinjun of the Zhao Kingdom, suddenly lead an army outside Juyang City? How is the main force in the north of Great Chu? Has it been defeated by Zhao Kuo?"

The Xiang family is also a big family in the Chu state, but it is incomparable with the top three families of Zhao Jingqu, and it is considered a second-rate family.

Even so, as the direct son of the Xiang family, Xiang Yan's father is the current head of the Xiang family, and Xiang Yan is the future heir of the Xiang family, so he is more concerned about the country and the people.

"No, Lord Wu Xin's troops are all cavalry, which means that it is impossible for him to defeat Lord Chunshen and the others head-on so quickly.

He must have made a detour to Chen Cheng so that he could enter the core area of ​​our Chu country.

However, as long as he can't defeat Chun Shenjun, then this kind of action doesn't seem to have much meaning?

Wait, Shouchun?

Is it Shouchun?

! ”

At this moment, Xiang Yan's body trembled violently, one body became unstable, and he almost fell into the river.

This cutting-edge general of the Chu Kingdom also had a horrified expression on his face at the moment, and couldn't help blurting out: "This Wu Xinjun, he is simply crazy!"

After recovering, Xiang Yan immediately said: "Quick, we must go to Shouchun immediately!"

At this moment, Xiang Yan was burning with anxiety.

He has seen with his own eyes how fast Zhao Kuo's cavalry can advance and break through the city.

When the explosives broke the city, Xiang Yan was about ten feet away, otherwise he would be swallowed by the collapse of the city wall caused by the explosion.

At that time, Xiang Yan was knocked into a coma by the blast, and became a prisoner after waking up.

It was precisely because of this that Xiang Yan had the opportunity to take advantage of Zhao Jun's inattention, violently murder and escape.

But now, Xiang Yan knew that the fatal news had to be passed on to Shouchun, and to the king of Chu in the palace!

Chapter 1053 Zhao Kuo Comes, King Chu Is Stupid

Later that day, Sima Shang returned to his command in a dejected manner.

"My lord, it's the minister who didn't do his job well and let that Xiang Yan run away!"

Zhao Kuo laughed and patted Sima Shang on the shoulder: "It's okay.

That Xiang Yan could think of using water to escape, it's normal that you can't catch up. "

It happened to be the spring flood at this time, the flow of Yingshui was very fast, and there were many obstacles between the road and the river, and Sima Shang himself started almost an hour late, so even though he searched all the way, he still couldn't catch up. Xiang Yan for any stay.

Sima Shang was Li Mu's deputy general in history, which shows that this person is still capable, and Zhao Kuo does not intend to criticize him for such a trivial matter.

It's best for Xiang Yan to catch it, but if he can't, it's nothing more than a little general running away.

Today's timeline is 30 years earlier than the Chu state in history, so Xiang Yan is 30 years younger than Xiang Yan in history, and lacks 30 years of experience and wisdom. Yan may be able to cause some losses, but it should be impossible to shake the overall situation.

Besides, even if Xiang Yan could return to Shouchun City, wouldn't Li Si still be waiting for him?

Xiang Yan looked at Shouchun City in front of him, and then subconsciously looked back at the road by the river behind him, and finally let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, those Zhao cavalry did not catch up."

Xiang Yan was very impressed with the speed and power of those Zhao cavalrymen. Once they were overtaken by the opponent, Xiang Yan didn't think there was any possibility of surviving.

Just waiting for the pier, Xiang Yan asked the followers to go home first, while she hurried towards the city gate.

"Hurry up, bring a horse, I am General Xiang Yan, and I have a hundred thousand urgent military needs to enter the palace for an audience!"

Xiang Yan showed her general's badge, directly recruited a horse from the guard at the gate of the city, and then rushed into the palace.

Halfway through, Xiang Yan was suddenly stopped by someone on a rather deserted street.

"General Xiang Yan, you are not on duty in Juyang City, what are you doing back to Shouchun?"
