Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty

The elite soldiers of Chu State, who were indistinguishable from friend and foe, suddenly appeared at the time of the battle between the two armies. Yan Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at the well-equipped Chu soldiers in light armor.

"The Dragon Clan?"

Long Xiu, who couldn't see his expression, got off his horse, saluted according to Chu Li, and then replied in a deep voice, "Long Xiu, in the name of the mistress, is here to help."

Raising his eyebrows and looking at the young general who seemed to be about his age, Yan Zhi raised his hand to make people stand up, "How can the soldiers and horses behind you help each other?"

"Soldiers and horses are few, but Commander Yan must not forget that the end will be Chu people. The Long clan and the Xiang clan have always been on good terms. Sometimes there is no need to send troops when the two armies are at war." Next, an unusually young face was revealed. Long Xiu held the helmet in his hand and said, "If you can solve the immediate danger without spending a single soldier, Commander Yan is willing to take the risk?"

I don't know how this person got the idea that Xiang Yan personally led troops to Nanjun, but judging by the current situation, Yan Zhi was not sure if he really came to help, or was thinking of joining forces with Xiang Yan to attack Nanjun.

It does sound tempting to let Xiang Yan surrender to Qin without a single soldier.

Various thoughts came to mind, Yan Zhi's expression remained unchanged, but he asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation, "How is Madam Long recently?"

"The mistress is all well, and I often receive news of Cong's brother in Xianyang. The whole Long family will always take care of Commander Yan." Knowing what Yan Zhi was worried about, Long Xiu spoke sincerely and made a special mention. Cong came to reassure this man.

The Long family is now in Qingyang, and Long Cong was brought to Xianyang. Long Qi is still young, and these are the last soldiers and horses of the Long family behind him. Since he came here under the order of the mistress, he would have no other thoughts .

The Qin people's way of governing the country is different from that of the Chu People's Congress. When the officials first arrived in Qingyang, they did have a bad impression, but after a long time, the benefits of the Qin people's laws became apparent.

Clan battles in Chu State have never stopped, but in Qin State, no matter how powerful the family members are, people without talent and virtue cannot enter the court. Although the harsh punishment is unacceptable in a short period of time, the people of Qin are so powerful. This has been the case for many years. There is no major turmoil, but only the national power is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that it is not all beneficial.

Mrs. Long was born in the Xiang family, so she is very clear about the clan conflicts in the Chu state. If you don't ask, the Xiang family will either be destroyed by the king of Qin or the king of Chu. If this is the case, why can't you choose to preserve the clan?

The army can never be made by only one clan, and the clans from all over the Chu state are infiltrated and entangled with each other. It is too difficult for Xiang Yan to really control the Chu army.

Looking at the young general with mysterious armor in front of him, Long Xiu nodded slightly and continued, "There is news from the capital that there are people from the Jing, Zhao, and Qu clans who are on the king... following the king of Chu." The slander, saying that the Xiang family wanted to rebel against the state of Chu, although there was a backlog of food and grass, it would still be sent to the army, but now, the king of Chu suspects that the Xiang family has cut off the food and grass."

Although he knew that these news could not be concealed from Qin Jun, who was working all over the world, but saying this at this time obviously showed his sincerity better.

The hundreds of years of friendship between the Xiang family and the Long family, the Long family has been destroyed in the hands of the King of Chu, and the Xiang family can never follow in the same footsteps.

After listening to Long Xiu's words, Yan Zhi didn't reply, but just waved his hand to signal for him to follow him, "I don't know where Xiang Yan is in the mountains, but is there a way to find him?"

"Commander?" Looking at Yan Zhi in surprise, Jiang Yan hurried over, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Wait here. If there is an accident, we are ready to support at any time." With a sideways glance at Jiang Yan who was coming towards him, Yan Zhi patted the man's messy armor, and then said loudly, "Pioneer Battalion, come out!"

"There are nearly ten thousand soldiers around Xiang Yan. It's too dangerous to go to the vanguard battalion alone. The commander thinks twice!" Jiang Yan, who had already fought Xiang Yan, didn't dare to let Yan Zhi go directly into the mountain like this.

Although the Vanguard Battalion's combat effectiveness is strong, there are not all incompetent people around Xiang Yan. If there is an accident, it will be too late for the people guarding the foot of the mountain to come to support.

Glancing at Jiang Yan, Long Xiu pulled the hairpin tassel on the helmet and said the same, "Long Xiu alone is enough, Commander Yan doesn't have to go with him."

He went to the Xiang clan land with the patriarch before, even if old general Xiang Yan refused to withdraw troops, he would not be hurt, but this person is different. If you shoot directly, you can't say whether you can get out of your body.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he looked at Long Xiu. Although he didn't know why this person thought so much about them, Jiang Yan didn't go into it, and turned his gaze away to continue persuading him.

Looking at the soldiers of the vanguard battalion who were ready, Yan Zhi stopped and looked at Jiang Yan, "Old General Xiang Yan has a lot of soldiers and horses. If you want to surrender, only Long Xiu will go alone. Wouldn't people say that I am the Qin army?" Contemptuous?"

Since Long Xiu came here, it must not be as simple as asking Xiang Yan to retreat. If he wants to recruit the Xiang clan, it is always inappropriate for the Qin army to go without anyone.

Xiang Yan is a tough person, but he is very clear-headed about the war. In his heart, the state of Chu is very important, but there is no doubt that the weight of the Xiang family is even more important.

He had never thought of letting the Xiang clan abandon Chu and go to Qin right now, but the appearance of Long Xiu made him realize that it would be a good way to surrender directly.

It was a kind of sincerity that the Long clan put Long Cong by his side, and it was not a sign that Qin Jun valued Xiang Yan by going there in person.

Seeing that Jiang Yan was still not at ease, Yan Zhi was not going to explain any more, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

As he said that, Yan Zhi carried the Mo Dao on his shoulders, told the army to wait here, and then waved his hands and led the elite of the Vanguard Battalion into the forest.

Most of the Chu soldiers were in light armor, and they had never seen an army with such heavy armor and weapons. Long Xiu looked sideways at the soldiers in black armor, whose movements were extremely agile and not much inferior to their light armor soldiers.

Slowing down a few steps and looking at Long Xiu who was following alone, Yan Zhi turned sideways, "The mountain is difficult, how does General Long plan to contact Old General Xiang Yan?"

Walking to an open place, Long Xiu responded with actions.

Holding the bow and arrow behind his back in his hand, something was tied to the specially made arrow stick, Long Xiu's tall and straight body stood in place, and then shot an arrow into the sky extremely neatly.

The arrows that fly out quickly lead to sparks in the air, and at the highest point, a ball of fireworks suddenly explodes. Yan Zhi, who has never seen such a thing as fireworks here, folded his arms and did not speak. Interested.

The Central Plains didn't even show gunpowder. They had already produced fireworks for communication, which surprised him a bit.

Winking at the soldiers behind him, Yan Zhi put the Mo Dao on the ground, and the orderly soldiers moved quickly, each finding a place to ambush around.

The mountain terrain is complex, especially suitable for hidden soldiers to ambush.

Looking at the Xuanjia soldiers who disappeared almost in the blink of an eye, Long Xiu carried the bow and arrow back, and then said frankly, "I am dissatisfied with Commander Yan. The mistress had contacted the Xiang family before this, and the old general Xiang Yan knew that the Long family Someone will come."

He was not surprised by Long Xiu's words. Before Xiang Yan came, Yan Zhi leaned on the tree trunk next to him and said unhurriedly, "The king of Chu is ungrateful. How should the Xiang family move forward? Old General Xiang Yan should be careful. There are many."

The tip of his ear moved slightly and glanced into the distance. Yan Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing beside him, "Whether the king of Chu cut off the army's food and pay was due to slander or because there was no food in the country, I believe General Long also has a guess in his heart."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current state of Chu is fragmented. The relocation of the capital several times has almost destroyed those cities. The number of Chu people relocated to other countries has increased year by year. How to afford those troops.

What's more, the state of Chu has a vast land and few people, and it takes time and effort to transport grain and grass. Even if the Qin army can't compete with the army head-on, it is not that difficult to cut off their grain roads.

Once the grain road is cut off, Pingyu will become the second Changping, and Xiang Yan absolutely does not want to be the second Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo still has the full support of King Zhao, and Xiang Yan, who is constantly stabbed by King Chu and other clans behind him, may not be as good as Zhao Kuo's situation back then.

Thinking of the details that he had ignored before, Yan Zhi's expression did not change, but he felt relieved when he saw the old general Xiang Yan who brought twenty light cavalry.

Regardless of whether there was an ambush behind them or not, just bringing these people in front of them, it seemed that Mrs. Long had a great influence on Old General Xiang Yan.

After listening ten steps away from them, Xiang Yan glanced at Yan Zhi, and then set his eyes on Long Xiu.

Taking two steps forward to salute solemnly, Long Xiu tensed his body and looked at Xiang Yan who looked older than the last time he met, and couldn't help feeling more resentment towards Chu.

When the Long clan was besieged by soldiers and horses of the Chu state, they already had no feelings for the Chu state. How could they let go of the great hatred that almost wiped out the clan.

Old General Xiang Yan wanted to deal with the clan and then find a safe way, but the current state of Chu can no longer tolerate them. When he came, his wife told him many times that even if the Xiang clan did not return to Qin, after this battle And absolutely can't go back to Chu country again.

The Qin army keeps gathering here, how can the Chu people who are not in the same mind win this battle?

The clan may be able to survive this calamity with concerted efforts, but the factional disputes in the Chu State have never stopped, and the private soldiers of the Xiang family are facing the enemy, even if Xiang Yan has the ability to completely control the army.

"The old man already knows Long's intentions. It is Xiang Yan's fault that he was too late to help in the previous matter." Shen Sheng said to Long Xiu, and Xiang Yan looked up at Yan Zhi, "There is no army behind the old man. Discuss, should the person hiding in the dark come out?"

Having dealt with Wang Jianmengwu more than once, Xiang Yan is very aware of the strength of the Qin army, and also understands the temperament of the Qin people who will not give up until they achieve their goals. The Qin people who hit the south wall and never look back will never take it lightly even if they lose the first battle. If you don't want to give up, you don't even need to think about retreating.

In the Battle of Changping, the two armies of Qin and Zhao could hold each other for three years, and the two armies of Qin and Chu had been facing each other for more than three years. It would be wishful thinking to ask the Qin army to give up attacking Chu. No one can predict what kind of changes will happen.

Mr. Changping is now close to Jing, Zhao, and Qu, but it does not mean that he has the recognition of those three clans. When the time comes, the state of Chu will be in danger, and the Xiang clan will be on the verge of collapse.

He knew how humiliating it would be for a general to surrender before the war, but for the hundreds of people in the Xiang family and the tens of thousands of people in the fief, his fame was no longer important.

The expression on his face became more and more obscure, Xiang Yan twitched the corners of his mouth and said mockingly, "There is no one in the Qin army, so why not just come here?"
