Chapter 452: I have some experience with such a trivial matter as destroying a country!

Two years ago, Ying Chengyu stood outside Shouchun Palace and gave Chu King Han two choices.

Today, Ying Chengyu stood outside Helu City and once again gave two choices.

The kings of Chu have changed one after another, and the capital of Chu has also been moved, but the options given by Ying Chengyu are the same!

The King of Chu clenched the city wall bricks with his hands behind his back, and shouted angrily: "How dare you insult me!"

"Your troops came from an expedition and are short of food and grass, so they are not good at fighting for a long time!"

"But I, the great Chu, only need to hold Helu City and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

"Don't look at what's happening now. All troops, when our Chu reinforcements arrive, they will definitely annihilate all of your troops!"

The King of Chu analyzed the weaknesses of Ying Chengyu's troops.

But Ying Chengxuan knew that King Chu Chu already had the intention of suing for peace.

Because only at the negotiation table will the opposing parties explicitly state the other's weaknesses!

Ying Chengyu smiled and added another chip to the scale of peace: "How many reinforcements are there from Chu State?"

"Three hundred and seventy thousand?"
< br>“Or 250,000?”

All the kings and ministers of Chu State looked ugly.

Three hundred and seventy thousand was exactly the total strength of Xiang Yan's troops when they were at their largest, and also the total number of enemy troops defeated by Ying Chengyu during the Battle of Echeng.

And 250,000 was the total strength of Qu Huan's troops when they were at their largest, and it was also the total number of enemy troops that Wang Jian defeated during the Battle of Shouchun City.

Obviously, the Chu State cannot even mobilize 250,000 troops, let alone another 370,000 troops!

Since the previous Chu army had so many troops and was defeated by the Qin army, what confidence did Chu have to defeat the Qin army with fewer troops?

Ying Chengxuan just spit out two strings of numbers, and presented a threat that far exceeded the threat posed by King Chu of Chu!

Ying Chengyu gave King Chu Chu a last deep look: "My heart is for peace and I don't want war."

"That's why even if Chu betrays its alliance again and attacks our country Qin, I will still remain the same." Are you willing to give Qin and Chu a chance to stop their troops and seek peace? "But if Chu clearly betrays the covenant but is unwilling to pay the due price?"

"Then fight!" br>
“By then, the territory north of the Yangtze River and west of Huangshan will no longer be accessible!”

"I have no talent, but I have some experience in conquering the capital, destroying the enemy's country, and taking over all the territory of the enemy's country."

Leaving a straightforward and undisguised threat, Ying Chengqiu Without waiting for King Chu's reply, he arrogantly pulled the reins and turned around to leave.

However, Ying Chengyu's arrogance and casual approach to peace made people mistakenly think that Ying Chengyu had already secured victory.

After all, in terms of experience in destroying countries, no one in the world today has more experience than Ying Chengyu!

No one can ignore the declaration of annihilation issued by a general who has already destroyed two countries!

The King of Chu took the cud with his right hand and turned it into a fist, hitting it hard on the city wall, using the pain to suppress the unwillingness and anger in his heart.

Turn around, the King of Chu looked at the ministers with his crotch on his back: "The intention of Lord Qin Chang'an has been revealed very clearly."

"If our great Chu can defend it under the front of the Qin army, Helu City, then this battle will not be considered a disastrous defeat, and we, the Great Chu, will still have a chance to regain some territory."

"If we, the Great Chu, cannot defend Helu City under the Qin army's front, the Qin army will break through. Helu City will even continue to march south to take over the territory of our great Chu."

"My great Chu will lose its territory just like the old Han and the old Wei!"

"The country is destroyed! The family is destroyed!"

"I will be forever engraved in history as the king of the country, together with the ministers of the country!"

"Dear dear friends, , Still insisting on waiting for help!"

Based on the current battle situation, the chance of the Chu army successfully repelling the Qin army is about 60%.

But the price that 40% of defeat may require is not something that King Chu of Chu can bear.

The king of Chu sighed softly, "Surrender."

"Abandon the north of the Yangtze River and the west of Huangshan, and keep the land of Wu to recuperate."

"While cultivating the strength of our great Chu people and accumulating youth, Zhuang, sit back and watch the changes in the world, looking for opportunities to go out."

"In this way, I, Da Chu, will still have a chance in the future!"

Now that all the nobles have suffered heavy losses, as long as we give up. By suing for peace, the King of Chu could use Zhuang Qiu and other troops to quickly clear out the top dignitaries such as Qu, Jing, and Zhao after the war, complete the armed reform, and lead the Chu country to a new era!

If you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land. If you save the people and lose the land, you will save both the people and the land!

Chu King Fu Chu believed that with the reform of Chu State, even if Chu State only had a small area like Wu, it would one day be able to restore its past glory!

But will the powerful be willing to sacrifice their own interests?

After being silent for a long time, Qu He finally spoke: "I believe that our great Chu is not without a chance."

"Qin Changanjun's behavior is indeed extremely tough, but no matter how tough his attitude is, he can't Cover up the fact that the Qin army spent a lot of time on an expedition!”

"My admonition, defend Helu City to the death!"

When facing Ying Chengyu, they were afraid.

But when Ying Chengyu left, the greed in their hearts rose again.

Even if the chance of winning is only 10%, it is far better than the inevitable loss!

Zhao Cen also immediately handed over: "I am confident that I can defend March with the strength of the troops in the city."

"If the city falls, I ask your Majesty to behead me!"

The King of Chu sarcastically put his eyes back on his crotch.

If Helu City falls, I will be arrested and sent to Qin to study abroad. How can I behead you!

The King of Chu spoke with a voice that could not be refused: "I have made up my mind!"

"I cannot gamble on the slim possibility at the expense of the great Chu State!"


However, the ministers did not seem to feel the determination of the King of Chu to bear the cud, and they all raised their hands: "Ministers, please think twice!" You are forced to go to the palace!"

Zhao Cen bowed his hands and said, "Please return to the palace to rest."

"I will guard Helu City for you!"

The ministers straightened up and met the Chu King's eyes.

In those eyes, King Chu Chu clearly saw a strong threat! The powerful people of Chu State are not only good at forcing the palace, they are also good at changing the king of Chu!

The King of Chu looked around in silence at the ministers for a few breaths, and then smiled softly: "Good."

"In that case, I will sit here and watch you all. Bring us a great victory!"

Zhao Cen stepped forward and said without refusal: "The battle ahead is dangerous, please return to the palace to rest."

King Chu Chu took one last deep look at the ministers, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked down the city gate tower.

Looking at the back of King Chu with his cud, Zhaocen said softly: "Your Majesty's heart has changed."

"On the other hand, Young Master Qi still has good intentions towards us."

Zhaocen's voice was quite calm, but it revealed the subtext of changing another king for the Chu Kingdom.

Qu Huan shook his head: "The king's mind has never changed, because the king has different demands from us from the beginning."

"This is normal and inevitable."

"When Da Chu was prosperous, the contradiction between the king and us was covered up."

"But as Da Chu lost consecutive battles, everyone The contradictions are exposed one by one, and the contradictions that were once ignored have become particularly serious."

"If Master Qi ascends to a high position, he will not be able to bridge these contradictions."

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Qu. Huan believed that even changing the king of Chu would not solve the current dilemma. On the contrary, it would cause more troubles due to the successive changes in the throne.

Zhaocen turned to look at Jingchou: "What do you think, brother Jingchou?"

Jingchou said solemnly: "Jun Chang'an should not be underestimated. We must go all out in the battle with Lord Chang'an now. There can’t be any distracting thoughts or interference.”

“Let’s wait until after this battle is over!”

Jing Chou no longer cares about the disputes in the court.

Fighting against Ying Chengyu, Jingchou dare not not go all out!

Zhaocenruo pointed out: "Of course, the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop."

Qu Huan said quietly: "He doesn't want to stop, but he has to stop!"

Zhaocen He smiled and cupped his hands: "I have two brothers in the rear."

"I will do my best to defend Helu City and protect the glory of our great Chu!"

——

The soldiers and horses in Helu City climbed onto the city wall and began the exciting work of defending the city.

Children of various major clans guarded outside the Helu Palace, seemingly loyally guarding the King of Chu.

But in the Helu Palace, the angry shouts of the King of Chu could be heard faintly.

"Reverse! Reverse!"

The formerly polite and resourceful noble young master now completely lost his confidence in winning.

The treasured and priceless jewelry was smashed and broken by the furious King Chu!

He already understood what the powerful people were thinking.

If this battle is won, the King of Chu will be released from the Helu Palace. At that time, no matter how angry the King of Chu is, he will not be able to punish the powerful people. Instead, he will need to reward the powerful people.

Otherwise, the whole country of Chu will be heartbroken, and the King of Chu will not be able to be King of Chu for much longer.

If this battle is defeated, the Qin army's strength will also be weakened by Helu City.

Although Zhaocen and others may not survive, the major clans have the opportunity to rely on the power of their towns and fiefs to block the remnants of the Qin army and then support the new King of Chu.

As for the King of Chu bearing the cud?

It will be controlled by Qin together with Helu City!

At this moment, King Chu of Chu finally understood a truth.

The eldest brother, father and ancestors whom he once looked down upon were not all fools.

It's just that in the face of the huge gap in strength, all conspiracies and machinations are just paper tigers!

Finally, a jade cup was thrown, and the King of Chu gasped for breath, hissing: "Here comes someone!"

"Jianzhuangjia!"

After a few hours, Zhuang Jia hurriedly ran into the imperial study: "Your Majesty!"

After bowing his hands and saluting, Zhuang Jia hurriedly explained: "The palace gate was heavily guarded, and I had to go through many maneuvers before I was able to enter." Your Majesty, I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

King Chu Chu had already calmed down, stood up and walked to Zhuang Jia, saying warmly: "No problem."

"I also know that those rebellious ministers are intent on causing trouble. It is not easy for my beloved to enter the palace. Aiqing is willing to enter the palace at this time to see his loyalty!"

Zhuang Jia quickly handed over his hand: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, no matter what!"

The king of Chu smiled. And shook his head: "I don't need to love you to go through fire and water for me."

"I only need to love you to contact the candidate of Qin for me."

"Let them tell Lord Qin Chang'an on my behalf that I agree to stop the troops and make a truce!"

Even if the strength comparison is huge, the King of Chu is still the King of Chu after all.

He alone has the power of war and peace!

Zhuang Jia's eyes showed genuine shock: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop the troops and make a truce?!"

The King of Chu sighed softly, "I, my heart, also want peace!"< br>


"This battle is not what I want."

Zhuang Jia suppressed his speechlessness, and said with a smile as his mind was racing: "It is Dazai who should intervene in such important matters related to the withdrawal of troops. "

"The person I am waiting for is just a big rat in the dark, how can I be qualified to convey such an important thing?"

"I am just a small spy in Qin State, and he is a man of few words."

“Even if I pass the news, Lord Qin Changan may not believe it!”
