Chapter 263 Ying Bu: I Come Here on the Orders of My Lord!
If Zhao Feng didn't know the historical records.
If he didn't know the bloodline of Mi Qi.
Perhaps Zhao Feng would not have thought that Fusu's grandfather would betray the Qin Dynasty and defect to another country.
Since he knew the history.
Zhao Feng would naturally be on guard.
Of course.
This is not for Huan Yi, but for the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command.
If they died on the battlefield, they would die bravely and die for a good cause.
But if they died in betrayal, died on the battlefield killed by their own people, then their death would not be worthwhile.
As Huan Yi mobilized his troops.
Zhao Feng had arranged for Yan Ting's people to enter the border town where Mi Qi was, and as long as he had any betrayal, Yan Ting's people would be able to detect it. As long as he wanted to move, it must be his confidant, and his soldiers would also move.
These would definitely not be silent.
As long as someone was sent to tell Huan Yi when Mi Qi showed any signs, with Huan Yi's ability, things would turn around.
It will not be like what is recorded in history, that the army that attacked Chu for the first time was completely annihilated.
"I understand."
"I will immediately send a letter to Ying Bu by wild goose. If Mi Qi makes any unusual moves, tell Huan Yi immediately." Zhang Ming bowed and retreated immediately.
Waiting for Zhang Ming to leave.
Zhao Feng closed his eyes, and his consciousness had already entered his small world.
As more than half a month passed.
The small world has been completely renewed and has undergone great changes.
The originally dilapidated and lifeless world has now become alive.
With spiritual energy as a catalyst, and this small world is only a thousand miles in area.
When Zhao Feng was in Xianyang, he asked people to collect many seeds, saplings, various fruit trees, and various seeds.
All of them were scattered everywhere in this small world.
Now there are many places in the small world where trees and fruit trees have grown.
It will take time to fully possess vitality.
In addition.
Zhao Feng also went to a large lake to fetch water into the small world. There was also the destruction of spiritual energy. The water element dispersed, and this small world gradually had water.
Moreover.
Dragons are water masters.
Even if they are fierce beasts.
The black dragon can call the wind and rain.
After such a long time, the black dragon has grown so big.
When it is free, it calls the wind and rain.
The water in this small world is far from endless. After all, there are enough water elements in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"This guy is happy."
Looking at the current situation in the small world, Zhao Feng also smiled with satisfaction.
This small world is related to his future and whether his family can live forever in the future.
Breaking the invisible rules of the world is the foundation.
Zhao Feng naturally wants to develop this small world well.
"Next, let Yan Ting prepare some people to enter the small world."
"I think it will be almost done in a few days." Zhao Feng thought secretly.
...
Chu State.
Danyang City.
The flag of the Qin Dynasty has been raised on the city.
Everywhere in the city.
Corpses were everywhere.
Blood was everywhere, showing the cruelty of this battle.
Qin soldiers were patrolling everywhere, and many logistics soldiers were dragging corpses to bury outside the city.
Cart after car of corpses were transported away by logistics soldiers carrying corpses, and it seemed that we could see the shadow of Zhao Feng when he was a logistics soldier.
"General."
"This city has been completely conquered, and the Chu army in the city has been killed."
"In the first battle, our army did not leave any survivors."
Li Xin strode over to report.
"Have the casualties been counted?" Huan Yi asked with a serious expression.
"Reply to the general."
"In this battle, our army killed more than 9,000 enemies and lost more than 5,000 people."
"We achieved such a result with the disadvantage of attacking the city, a great victory."
Li Xin reported excitedly.
"Something is wrong."
Huan Yi shook his head with a serious expression.
"Why did the general say that?" Li Xin asked puzzledly.
This battle was fought.
They saw with their own eyes that the elite soldiers of his Hangu camp fought bravely and never retreated, and the Chu army also fought desperately, but they were ultimately defeated.
"Do you think the Chu State would not know about the news that my Great Qin had mobilized troops against the Chu State?" Huan Yi said.
"Indeed."
"The Chu State must have hidden soldiers in my Great Qin."
"It is impossible for them not to know about the large-scale mobilization of my Hangu camp." Li Xin said.
"That's right." Huan Yi's expression was serious: "Even if my Great Qin did not move troops to attack Chu, the Chu army's strength in this city would not be less than 50,000."
"After all, the army of Changping Jun guarding Chenying City was so strong, and Chu would definitely match it."
"But this time, the Chu army seemed to be desperate to defend the city, but their strength was less than 50,000, and they quickly evacuated the city after our army broke through the city."
"Not only that."
"Several cities on the front line were also captured by our army one after another. Although they were all desperately defended by the Chu army, they were still retreating. They didn't want to fight at all for our army." Huan Yi frowned and said.
"General, do you mean that the Chu army is luring the enemy deep into the country? Deliberately gave up these cities to let our army enter Chu?"
Li Xin was also a capable general. Just a few words from Huan Yi understood the key.
"Since they invaded the Chu State, the Chu army has never fought directly with our army. They have always fought and retreated. Although they have always pretended to defend the city to the death, they still lost the city too much. In just ten days, we were defeated. The army captured six cities in succession."
"This is a bit too weird." Huan Yi said in a deep voice.
"General."
"Is the civil strife in Chu not over yet?"
"As far as my subordinates know, there are three big families in Chu State who hold great power. I'm afraid they won't get along with the new king of Chu State."
"So there are some omissions in the border defense." Li Xin tentatively said.
"Impossible." Huan Yi waved his hand, turned around and looked at the battlefield that had calmed down in the city.
"Even if the Chu State fights internally, their military strength is not weaker than that of the Zhao State in the past. Looking at the world, Chu State will be a powerful country if its national strength is aggregated."
"No matter how hard they fight, if our great Qin comes, they will never even have a hundred thousand troops on the border." Huan Yi said with certainty.
"Then what should our army do this time?"
"Delay the march?" Li Xin asked.
"Send a few scout cavalry groups to explore the Chu region."
"Check if the Chu army has an ambush."
"Except."
"The army will postpone its advance and rest where it is." Huan Yi immediately ordered.
"promise."
Li Xin immediately took the order.
At this time!
"General."
"The general has just inspected the grain depot in the city. It is empty of food. There is no food at all."
"The Chu army had already evacuated the city before we broke through."
A deputy general quickly came to Huan Yi and reported.
"The grain was transported away in advance. The Chu army had no intention of standing firm and fighting with our army."
"Xiang Yan, what exactly does he want to do?" Huan Yi frowned.
now.
There was a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Although he captured five cities of Chu in just ten days, and Danyang, the strongest city, was also captured by him, this seemed to be the Chu army luring the enemy, not the real results of the battle.
Chu State.
A city guarded by high mountains.
It's called Chu Fang City.
This city is known as the real barrier of Chu State, a barrier against Qin, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Even if a million troops are in front of the city, they will eventually fall in front of the city that is difficult for thousands of troops to break through, and will eventually be annihilated by the Chu army defending the city.
In the city at this moment.
Xiang Yan sat in the hall, and more than a dozen generals under his command gathered together.
"General."
"Danyang City and several surrounding small towns have been captured by the Qin army."
"This battle."
"Our army suffered huge losses."
"But the Qin army didn't get a grain of food." A deputy general immediately reported.
Xiang Yan frowned when he heard this: "Idiot."
"Who asked you to empty out the grain and grass?"
The sudden scolding caused the expression of the Chu general who had originally claimed the credit to change drastically.
"Huan Yi is the general of the Qin State. He has led the army for many years. He can see any trouble on the battlefield."
"Evacuating the food and grass is equivalent to telling Huan Yi that I have no intention of holding on to the city, but deliberately abandoning it."
"Originally, we wanted to lure the Qin army for at least dozens of miles, and finally block the Qin army's retreat and annihilate them in one fell swoop. But judging from this, Huan Yi must have been alert." Xiang Yan cursed angrily.
Hear this.
The Chu general who took the credit just now lowered his head and did not dare to say anything else.
"Report."
"The scouts just came to report that the Qin army has stopped attacking."
"The army is stationed around Danyang City."
"But our army's scouts encountered the Qin army's scouts and a battle broke out." A scout general quickly entered the palace to report.
"Huan Yi already knows that our army is luring the enemy deeper." Xiang Yan said coldly.
General Chu, who took the credit, lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"General, what should we do now?" A Chu general asked worriedly.
"Now that Huan Yi has seen through it, there is no need to pretend anymore."
"Send the general's order."
"The army is moving forward, preparing for a decisive battle with Huan Yi." Xiang Yan's eyes narrowed and he said coldly.
Hear this.
The expressions of all the Chu generals could not help but change.
"General."
"This time, the Qin army came to attack my Da Chu. It was not our Da Chu who took the initiative to attack. It seems that I am inferior to go out of the city to fight this time."
"yes."
"Perhaps what the Qin army is looking forward to most is that our army will fight them head-on."
"This is not a good move."
All the Chu generals spoke one after another.
"Military orders are like mountains, so do as the general says."
"Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law." Xiang Yan said coldly.
"promise."
Feeling Xiang Yan's coldness, all the Chu generals responded one after another.
Obviously.
Only Xiang Yan knew about Mi Qi's return to Chu, and he never made it clear to anyone else.
after all.
Nowadays, Qin's secret warriors are all-pervasive in Chu, so he must treat them with caution.
After the explanation.
Xiang Yan immediately looked at the guard commander beside him and waved.
"General, please give me your orders."
The commander of the personal guards immediately strode forward and came over respectfully.
"Send someone to tell Lord Changping."
"As long as Huan Yi leads his army to Danyang City, he will immediately cut off the Qin army's food, grass and baggage, and cut off the Qin army's retreat."
"This battle."
"I want these Qin troops to never come back." Xiang Yan said coldly.
"promise."
The commander of the personal guards replied immediately.
"Huan Yi."
"Qin Army."
"This time, I, Xiang Yan, will annihilate all of you and prove to the world that our country, Chu, is stronger than your country, Qin."
"It's a pity that Zhao Feng won't lead the army this time, otherwise I, Xiang Yan, will definitely break your undefeated myth."
Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with coldness, and there was a sense of pride that he was not inferior to others.
Obviously.
After Mi Qi returned to Chu, Mi Qi would lead his subordinates to block Huan Yi's retreat and cut off Huan Yi's food and grass as soon as he gave an order.
final.
Huan Yi will be under siege.
Xiang Yan can keep at least half of the 200,000 Qin troops.
The Qin army was severely damaged.
Chen Yingcheng.
"The general's secret order."
"When Huan Yi's troops leave Danyang, immediately cut off Huan Yi's retreat."
The secret warrior from Chu State said to Mi Qida.
"kindness."
"I will do as you are told." Mi Qi nodded, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
"My subordinates have withdrawn."
The dark warrior bowed and immediately exited the hall.
Under night.
There is no light in the temple.
Mi Qi had a cold look on his face.
"Soldiers of the Qin Army."
"People have to fight for themselves."
"Don't blame me if you die this time."
"I am originally from the royal family of Chu, and I am the king of Chu."
"Now I want to get back what I deserve." Mi Qi said coldly.
Subsequently.
Mi Qi opened the palace door and said to his confidants who were waiting outside: "Go and call General Zhang. General Wu and others will come to see me."
It didn't take long.
Inside Chenying City.
The 50,000 county soldiers under Mi Qi's command suddenly began to mobilize.
"Pass on the order of Lord Changping."
"To ensure the stability of the food road, the entire city will be sealed off from today."
"No one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of Lord Changping."
"All grain shipped from Da Qin will be dispatched by Lord Changping."
"Those who disobey orders will be killed."
In the city.
Orders were passed to the army one after another, as well as to the logistics army transporting grain and grass into the city.
…
Danyang City!
"Report to the general."
"Xiang Yan led the Chu army out of Chu Fang City and came to Danyang."
"The strength is no less than 200,000."
"It seems like they are going to have a head-on confrontation with our army."
Li Xin came quickly and reported to Huan Yi.
"It seems that Xiang Yan understands that I have seen his intention to lure the enemy deeper."
"So I want to retake Danyang City."
"It's just that his move seemed a bit confusing."
"When Da Qin came to attack us, he actually gave up the advantage of defending the city and turned to fight head-on." Huan Yi said thoughtfully.
"General."
"This is indeed a foolish move, but since he has gone to fight, it is in line with our army's wishes."
"Heaven wants me, Da Qin, to destroy Chu." Li Xin said with a smile.
"Pass the order."
"The army is ready to gather and march out to fight the Chu army." Huan Yi immediately ordered.
"General, take your orders." Li Xin bowed respectfully and prepared to deliver the order.
And just then.
"If the general fights against Xiang Yan, the Hangu camp will be destroyed."
A voice suddenly appeared from one side of the hall.
"who?"
The sudden sound made Huan Yi's expression change and he looked over suddenly.
I saw a masked man in black coming into the hall.
Huan Yi immediately pulled out the weapon on his waist.
The same is true for Li Xin.
Followed.
The guards outside the palace also heard the commotion and drew their swords one after another and rushed into the palace.
Everyone looked at the man in black in the hall with eager eyes.
"General Huan Yi."
"If I were you, then let the left and right step back first."
"If I wanted to assassinate you, I would have done it long ago."
Yingbu said coldly, with a kind of arrogance in his voice.
In Yingbu's world.
Apart from respecting one's own Lord, no one else counts.
Now that he has entered the Grandmaster realm, he can fight his way out even if he is surrounded by thousands of armies.
Looking at the calm Yingbu.
There were also hundreds of personal guards rushing in behind him.
Huan Yi thought for a moment.
A wave of hands.
"Everyone, stand down."
Huan Yi said in a deep voice.
"promise."
All the guards bowed and exited the hall.
"Li Xin, close the palace door."
Huan Yi faced Li Xin again.
"promise."
Li Xin walked over and closed the palace door.
"Who is your Excellency? What is your purpose?"
"Can we talk now?"
Huan Yi stared at Ying Bu with a sense of coercion from a superior person.
"According to the order of my master, I came here to save the life of the general." Yingbu said slowly.
"Who is the master of your family?"
"How can you save my life?" Huan Yi frowned.
"My master's name is Zhao Feng."
"Master Wu'an of Great Qin."
"I am here on the orders of the Lord to save your life, and also the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command." Yingbu said solemnly.
I heard it was Zhao Feng.
Huan Yi's originally calm expression immediately turned serious.
"Please tell me."
Huan Yi cupped his fists and said.
He has been a general for many years, so he can naturally see whether Yingbu's words are true or false.
And if it was really Zhao Feng who sent him, then there must be something big going on.
"Changping Jun Mi Qi has betrayed the country and surrendered to Chu. Now he has sealed off Chenying City and cut off all food, grass and baggage." Yingbu said slowly.
Hear this.
Huan Yi and Li Xin's expressions changed, and they looked at each other with disbelief.
"impossible."
"Changping Jun is the eldest son's grandfather, a royal relative, how could he betray the country?" Huan Yi said in surprise.
...
