Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dead Thousand Miles (4)

The capital of Chu State, Ying State, and the palace of Chu State.

King Kaoli of Chu was drinking with a group of ministers. He was in a very good mood, drinking big gulps and eating meat big gulps, and he was extremely happy.

Not only was King Kaoli of Chu so happy, but his ministers were all like this, for nothing else, but because they had not received news of the coalition defeat, they thought that this time the five-nation coalition forces would definitely win against Qin.

This is really rare for the Chu State, which was suppressed by Qin State for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of fighting, there were few victories. If Chu State could win a battle, it would not require a big victory, but only a small victory would be enough to make Chu State happy.

Not to mention that the five-nation coalition forces took advantage of the opportunity of Qin's defeat of two kings in a row to attack Qin. As they thought, they would definitely win, and they would not be able to be happy.

"Haha!" King Kaoli of Chu picked up the wine Jue, drank the wine from Juezhong happily, smacked his lips, put down the wine Jue, and let out a burst of laughter, saying, "This time, the five-nation alliance will surely capture Hangu Pass and will surely enter Guanzhong. At that time, I will come to Guanzhong and razed Guanzhong to the ground to vent the hatred of the Great Chu! To avenge the king's revenge!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"The revenge of King Huai must be avenged! Not only should Guanzhong be razed to the ground, but all the Qin people must be killed without leaving a single living mouth."

"How bad is it to kill all of them? If you kill all men, you must keep them, especially those beautiful women, and you must keep them for us to enjoy."

"Yes, yes! Kill all men! Keep the woman!"

The ministers hurriedly praised and agreed, and even came up with vicious ideas.

"It's right!" King Kaoli of Chu focused his attention and praised the suggestions of his ministers, saying: "In history, only the royal beauties of the Great Chu have married Qin, but there has never been a matter of the Great Chu marrying Qin. This time, I have to choose Qin beauties."

Chu State was beaten by Qin State so that Chu State had no power to fight back. In order to make good use of Qin State, Chu State chose royal beauties to marry the King of Qin and formed in-laws, hoping to use this to relieve the threat of Qin State. Queen Mother Zhao of Qin, Queen Mother Xuan, was a branch of the Chu State's royal family, and Mrs. Huayang was also a native of Chu, and was the niece of Queen Mother Xuan.

"Your Majesty, something big is wrong, something big is wrong..." As soon as King Chu Kaoliu finished speaking, an eunuch rushed in hurriedly, with a look of fear on his face. His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Shut up! You guys! How could such a big deal be bad if something is so happy?" Before King Chu Kaolio could speak, Li Yuan's face sank and shouted loudly.

"My uncle said very well, you are such a blind dog. As the coalition forces are about to break through Hangu Pass, the situation is great, how can something big will go wrong?" King Chu Kaoliui deeply agreed with Li Yuan's scolding and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the entire coalition army has been destroyed." When the eunuch saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly raised his throat and roared. This roar was so terrifying that it was as loud as thunder, shaking the eardrums.

"Okay! The coalition has won a great victory, this is really good news." King Chu Kaoli did not react. He was still thinking about the good side, and asked a little strangely: "How could such good news be a big deal? You are talking nonsense!"

"That's right!" The ministers were dreaming. They took it for granted and did not react.

"Your Majesty. The entire coalition army was destroyed! If it weren't for a big deal, what else would be a big deal?" The eunuch became anxious when he heard this and hurriedly explained.

"What? The entire coalition army was destroyed?" King Chu Kaoliui jumped high as if he was burning his butt, his eyes widened, his mouth wide, and his face was disbelief.

Asking him to believe that this is true is no easier than climbing to heaven.

Not only did King Kaollie think so, but all the ministers think so, and they all don’t believe it. Some even scolded the eunuch and said that he was talking nonsense.

"Your Majesty, who dares to report such a big thing? This is the case..." The eunuch was anxious and hurriedly told the news of his inquiry.

"Xinling Jun! Good thing, you are as timid as a mouse, and you fled without fighting!" King Kaoli Chu had high hopes for Xinling Jun and gave him all the appointment chief that Chu had always wanted to be willing to do. Unexpectedly, Xinling Jun fled without fighting, leaving behind 550,000 coalition forces and just fled for his life. This was so infuriating.

"Huh!" King Kaolii was breathing heavily, his eyes were congested, like a demon. If Xinlingjun was in front of him, he would definitely tear Xinlingjun and eat it.

"Your Majesty, something big is wrong! something big is wrong!" Just as King Kaolio was about to go wild, another eunuch rushed in like a flying man and shouted from afar.

"What's the bad news?" King Kaoli of Chu was furious this time, but thought about the bad ones: "Say! Even if the sky collapses, it's no big deal."

The coalition army was destroyed, and Chu Kaoli's plan failed. This was bad enough, and there was no worse thing than this.

However, what the eunuch said was really even more terrifying than the destruction of the coalition forces. The eunuch said anxiously: "Report to the Lord, the Qin army attacked Chencheng and turned Chencheng into ruins."

"What? The Qin army attacked Chencheng?" King Kaolio did not stand firmly and sat down on the ground, his face pale and without a trace of blood, as if he had been buried in the soil.

Chencheng was an important town of Chu. It was attacked by Qin. Doesn’t this mean that Qin is going to launch a large-scale military force against Chu? This must be that Qin wants to destroy Chu. This is what King Kaoli of Chu is most afraid of, so he has no choice but to be afraid.

"The tiger and wolf Qin State wants to destroy our Great Chu, but it will not work. We cannot sit still and wait for death. We can move the capital quickly and move the capital!" Some ministers were frightened and hurriedly came up with ideas.

If Qin wants to attack Chu, Chu should mobilize heavy troops to resist as soon as possible, rather than escape. As a minister, it is really speechless to have the idea of ​​moving the capital.

However, the responders only heard a crowd of echoes and said, "That's right! You have to move the capital! Move it quickly!"

"We must move, move to Shouchun!" King Kaoli of Chu was a brave king and agreed with the proposal to move the capital.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Qin army attacked Shouchun and turned Shouchun into ruins." As soon as King Chu Kaoli finished speaking, another eunuch rushed in like flying, and didn't look at the time, right? He raised his throat and shouted from afar.

"What? Shouchun was destroyed?" King Chu Kaoli's eyes became wider and wider. Later, the corners of his eyes cracked and blood gushed out. His mouth became wider and wider, enough to stuff two eggs into it.

"Girl!" King Chu Kaoli's teeth hit each other, making a clear sound of teeth hitting each other, and his whole body couldn't stop.

Shouchun is an important town of Chu, second only to the capital Ying. More importantly, Shouchun is the first choice for Chu to move its capital. Once Chu is facing the danger of national destruction, it can move to Shouchun. After hearing the news of Shouchun being destroyed, can King Kaoli of Chu not be afraid? Can he not be afraid?

At this time, King Kaoli of Chu was frightened and anxious, as if the Qin army had already arrived in Ying.

"Gugu!" King Chu Kaoli wanted to speak, but couldn't speak. A strange sound came from his throat, like an old hen being beaten by a rooster.

"Puff!" King Chu Kaoli's face twisted, he fell softly to the ground, and fainted directly.

"Report to the Lord, the Qin army destroyed all the Huai River land, and all the places were abandoned..." The eunuch hurriedly reported the worse military situation. Unfortunately, King Kaoli of Chu had fainted. He couldn't hear it, and the eunuch was in vain.

Langya, located on the coast, is one of the most important salt fields in Qi State.

Qi was located on the shore of the East China Sea. It gained the benefits of fishing and salt and accumulated amazing financial resources. Qi became the most powerful Warring States among the seven major warring States countries. Once, during the reign of King Wei of Qi, Qi was famous all over the world and was eye-catching. Even the strongest Warring States State in the world at that time, Qi was not afraid of it and challenged it. In the two battles between Guiling and Magui, he defeated Wei, which greatly damaged Wei, and eventually became a second-rate Warring States State, and no longer regained the style of the strongest overlord in the early Warring States Period.

The reason why Qi is so strong is that Qi "boils the sea into salt", masters a lot of salt, and has a hard waist.

If you travel in Qi for a long time, you will find that there are salt fields in all coastal areas, such as the famous Jimo, and there are many salt fields.

Today's Langya is the same as usual. At sunrise, the servants in the salt farm are starting to be busy, putting the seawater into the pre-digged water storage area and blocking the seawater. The seawater in the water storage area will dry up after the sun, and salt will be left. These salts are not edible, and there are many impurities, such as soil and stones. You have to process these coarse salts to get edible salt.

"Rumor!" Just as I was busy, a shocking sound of hooves sounded.

"What's the sound?"

"It's so loud, like a marching."

The busy salt farm servants were puzzled, and they all looked up and looked at the West.

I saw a huge dark cloud appearing in the West, connecting the sky and the earth, which was very terrifying and gave people a sense of depression.

"It's clouds rising, it's going to rain?" The striking and suspicious servant of the salt farm raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw a red sun hanging high, the sky was as blue as it was washed away, and the cloudlessness was everywhere.

"It's not raining, how could it thunder?"

"Drought thunder, drought thunder, do you understand?"

As the salt farm servants were talking, they saw that the dark cloud was closer. Below the dark cloud was a large army that was galloping. This army was extremely fierce and riding, and it had a shocking power when galloping, which was terrifying.

"The army is really an army. Is this the army of Daqi? The army of Daqi is not so good."

"Although the martial artists of Daqin are famous all over the world, they are not as powerful as that."

The salt farm servant saw it and was even more puzzled.

"Look, that's the word 'Qin', this is the Qin army!"

"Qin Army? You can tell me, how could the Qin Army come here?"

"Your eyes widen, see clearly, the flag is clearly written."

"The flag contains the word "Qin" written on it, but this cannot be said to be the Qin army? Can the army of the Great Qi defeat the Qin army and seize the Qin army's flag to make a glory?"

Although the banner of the Qin army was already clear, these salt farm workers still did not believe it. Qin State was too far away from Qi State. Since the rise of Qin State, there has been no Qin army attacking Qi State. It would be easier for them to believe that this is Qin State.
