Chapter 188. Retreat

After a few days, the Chu army was tortured to death, and their dark circles were like pandas.

In desperation, Jing Cui could only pull Qu Yuan and Zhaoyang to discuss countermeasures in the commander's account! "Two masters, Qin army envoys, have made our Chu army rest. Jing Cui was stretched and could not find a good way to solve it. Please ask the two masters for advice."

This time, the dispatch of troops to attack Qin was also the idea of ​​Zhaoyang and Qu Yuan. Jing Cui had to come for the benefit of Chu.

Now the army has been in Jiaocheng for half a month, seriously stagnating the pace of the Chu army's northern expedition.

If this delay continues, the Qin army's expenses such as food, grass, weapons, horses, etc. will intensify.

When they went to Qin, King Huai of Chu had disagreed with it. Now that they were in vain in their expedition, they might not be able to escape punishment when they returned.

With Pan Jinlian and Zheng Xiu added fuel to the fire, Jing Cui had already seen the King of Chu sharpen his knife. When the knife was sharpened, he was ready to kill the pig.

Qu Yuan took a bite of dried fish from Chu's specialty and felt a little salty. He frowned and asked, "Have you ever thought about why Zhao Yun harassed our Chu army like this?"

Jing Cui pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, in order to obstruct our army, the Qin army adopted the harassment tactics, so that our army could not rest. In this way, our army could not attack the city in daylight. If the time was changed to night, the variables were too great, and it was difficult to decide the outcome."

"General Jing Cui said so much. Zhao Yun wanted to restrain our army here and delay our attack. The more important reason is that he was waiting for reinforcements."

"Wait for reinforcements?"

Jing Cui smiled coldly, he was a little confused about this. When the Chu court sent troops, he had already calculated that the Qin State had no troops to support.

"Can it be that the divine weapons from the sky of Qin?"

Qu Yuan shook his head. Although he was unwilling to believe it, he had to believe some things.

"If I had expected it was right, the Qin State had completely captured the land of Bashu, and Bashu had become the Bashu of Qin. Gongzi Ji's army was returning to aid. Soon, they would fight a decisive battle with our Chu army."

When Jing Cui heard this, she seemed to understand what was going on, but in the end he didn't say a word and chose to remain silent.

The reason for this attack on Qin was that after the five kingdoms of Xishou joined forces, he once again became the general in South Korea.

In order to avenge Han Prince Huan, King Kang of Han did not hesitate to meet Qin for the second time.

For this reason, envoys were even sent to Qin, hoping that King Ying Si of Qin would send Feng Gao, a dead soldier in the camp, to South Korea to apologize.

Unexpectedly, the King of Qin did not give him any face, and turned against him in court, directly killed the Korean envoy and sent the head to Xinzheng.

When King Han Kang saw this head, he became suspicious! He was actually shocked by the power of King Ying Si of Qin, and he was reluctant to send troops for a long time, and fell into a hesitant cycle of death.

After finally making up his mind, he confronted Bai Qi at Hangu Pass and ordered Xishou to use static and make subsequent plans.

Jing Cui was so angry that she was so angry that she had attacked her. If South Korea had launched an attack earlier, the Chu army would have passed Wu Pass and headed straight for Xianyang.

What a pity, what a pity! King Han Kang is indeed stupid.

"Sir Zuotu, what should we do? Should we withdraw our troops or continue to attack?"

Jing Cui, who has always been very smart, has also suffered difficulties.

"Oh~" Qu Yuan sighed and looked at Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang was closing his eyes to rest, his old face was covered with wrinkles.

This old guy has been working hard for Chu State for most of his life. He wanted to spend his old age in peace, but he didn't expect there was hope.

"What does Lord Ling Yin think?"

Qu Yuan asked with a smile, he wanted to find out Zhaoyang's tone.

"Let the troops withdraw as soon as possible while the Chu army's casualties are still within acceptable limits!"

Zhaoyang looked at the two people in front of him, desperately suppressing the fear in his heart.

"withdraw troops?"

The two of them spoke almost in unison and looked at Zhaoyang in amazement. They did not believe that this was the decision made by Lord Ling Yin.

Outside the tent, the wind was clamoring.

"What does Lord Ling Yin mean? Qu Yuan finally used a trick to deceive the king into attacking Qin, but now he wants to withdraw his troops, Qu Yuan doesn't understand."

Zhaoyang stood up and asked, "Do you know that Qin and Chu have been in a relationship for generations, and there has been no friction in nearly a hundred years."

“So what?”

Qu Yuan expressed dissatisfaction.

Zhaoyang was not angry and said lightly: "Since Qin does not attack Chu, why did Chu attack Qin?

Zuo Tu, don’t forget that Qin and Chu have made a good alliance, so our Chu can be considered a traitor.”

"Mr. Ling Yin, it is inevitable that this is ridiculous to say such things in the world of great disputes."

Qu Yuan clenched his fists, and murderous intent flashed across his face: "Qin State does not dare to attack Chu State because it does not have such strength at present. If Qin State has strong wings, it is probably impossible for Chu State to survive."

"Then does Chu have the strength to attack Qin?"

Zhaoyang studied poetry and books of sages since he was a child. He knew that although those things were pedantic, those who were ministers must know them.

Therefore, he always speaks in a simplistic way.

"If the Chu State wants to destroy Qin, the best time will be when the five countries attack Qin. Unfortunately, my king was confused by Pan Jinlian at that time and missed that great opportunity."

Qu Yuan's expression did not change, but he was not afraid of having a rift with Lord Ling Yin. He was all for the sake of Chu State and said whatever he had.

He said with a serious look and squinted look: "Mr. Ling Yin, it's not too late now. Hasn't the main force of the Qin army returned to Qin yet?

Jing Cui showed no sound.

He knew that such a major decision was not something he could do. As a general, he just needed to lead troops to fight.

Zhaoyang squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Qu Yuan is confused! Although the main force of the Qin army has not arrived in Qin, it is already on the way. Although the Chu army can break the city and even break dozens of them in a row, can it attack Xianyang before the main force of the Qin army arrives?

If you can't conquer, don't attack!"

Zhaoyang's words are very simple. We may be able to win, but in the end we cannot protect ourselves.

Qu Yuan nodded. He knew that Lord Ling Yin was right. As long as he could not conquer Xianyang, the Qin army would fight back like a tiger.

Although the Qin army and the Chu army rarely fought in the past.

But in terms of name, it is obvious that the Qin army is bigger, especially after King Ying Si of Qin, Hu, was a cavalryman.

Hu clothing and cavalry made Qin's cavalry look down on all the heroes and were invincible! The Qin State's reputation for infantry battles was afraid of! In this way, if the Chu army really fought head-on, not only would it have no chance of winning, but would have been wiped out.

"Qu Yuan knew very well what Lord Ling Yin said, just withdrawing troops like this, Qu Yuan was unwilling to accept it. The King of Qin repeatedly humiliated our Chu State. Is it so good to let it go?"

Zhao Yang laughed in a vein: "Qu Yuan, you are still too young. Sometimes you are too stubborn. The green mountains are left behind, and you are not afraid of burning firewood. The strength of Chu is still strong, and Qin is still despised by the nations. We have the opportunity, so there is no hurry to be at this moment."
