The capital of Chu State, Yingdu, in the main hall of the royal palace.

After receiving the relevant information and confirming it repeatedly, the King of Chu and all the ministers in the court could not help but look at each other, their heads were buzzing, and their thoughts were in a state of shock and disbelief, and they suddenly collapsed.

For a moment, there was silence in the palace hall.

No one knew what to say.

After a long time, the battle report in King Chu's hand fell to the ground, and he himself murmured at a loss:

"How is this possible? How is this possible?

What is written in the battle report? What does it mean that Zhou's 10,000-strong army was unscathed and conquered dozens of cities in a row? What does it mean that the 10,000-strong army are all monsters, powerful and invulnerable? When did our Chu army feel so invincible?

Damn, are you messing with me in the lake?

Or are you shirking responsibility and fearing being blamed?"

At this time, the King of Chu had accepted the fact that the Chu army was defeated and even a large area of ​​territory fell into the hands of Zhou State, but he still could not completely believe the contents of the battle report.

Because the content of the battle report is too exaggerated.

If the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhou State is really as written in the battle report, how could the Zhou State have been cowardly for so many years? It is possible for a general to be extremely powerful, but all 10,000 soldiers are extremely powerful. How is it possible? It is written outside

Even the legendaries dare not exaggerate like this. Are those soldiers heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?

At the same time, the ministers who were kneeling below were also whispering to each other and discussing in low voices.

"Is it possible that the King of Zhou invested all the money he earned in the past few years into cultivating and training soldiers? But it is impossible. Each of them requires countless resources and more than seven or eight years to train a successful Wei soldier.

It's not that powerful. The King of Zhou has only become rich in the past three years. What methods did he use to cultivate so many powerful soldiers?"

"Don't you think the battle report is false? Maybe some of the generals defending the city deliberately exaggerated in order to shirk responsibility!"

"Unlikely, the generals who defended one city might do this, but you have to say that the generals who defended the dozens of cities that have fallen now did this.

It is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the Zhou army advanced so fast that it was frightening. Based on current intelligence analysis, it can be said that they pushed forward almost all the way without encountering any city that could stop them for more than a day or two.

On the way to conquer the city, they spent more time on the road instead of attacking the city.

Most of the guards in major cities have no ability to resist.

It can be seen from this that even if the information in the battle report is exaggerated, it is still certain that the strength of Zhou's 10,000-strong army is extremely terrifying, and the situation is not good!"

"Isn't it true that Emperor Zhou is protected by God?"

"I guess it's still a problem with his aunt, the Queen Mother, that is, Mrs. Xiyun. Some people have suspected that Mrs. Xiyun has a problem for a long time. Many things seem to appear inexplicably. It's impossible to figure out the specific source of some of her products.

And some of the things she sells are so exquisite that they don't look artificial.

So she may have something magical about her.

I even doubt whether those soldiers are human."

"Demons, ghosts, or gods?"

"Then do we have to ask the witch priest to take action?"

"Besides, now it depends on what the king's attitude is. Should he compromise on this and go to Luoyang to try to negotiate peace, or should he gather a large army and counterattack back."

"Can we succeed in our counterattack?"

"Hard to say……"

The ministers discussed in private for a long time before the King of Chu calmed down and held a formal meeting. They negotiated with each other and even argued for a long time. In the end, the King of Chu's opinion prevailed and decided to recruit an army of 400,000 to retake what was occupied by Zhou.

soil of.

Immediately afterwards came the recruitment of soldiers with the beating of gongs and drums.

In terms of today's productivity, even a large country like the Chu State is unable to support 400,000 young men off work as soldiers under normal circumstances. Therefore, no matter how anxious the King of Chu is, he cannot send troops as soon as he says so. He must have to

It takes time to recruit troops first, and after the recruitment is completed, you have to prepare logistics, etc. Once this series of tasks is completed, it will take at least a few months, and if it takes more, it may take up to half a year.

This directly resulted in the Chu State's 400,000 troops not being able to gather together, and Ding Yun had already received the relevant news.

Although Ding Yun is not afraid of an army of 400,000, it is a very troublesome matter after all, and if the army of 400,000 is dispersed to attack major cities, the 10,000 troops currently held by Ding Yun will probably be forced to disperse to resist.

And it was severely weakened.

So after receiving the news, Ding Yun immediately summoned 10,000 troops, prepared enough medicine for them, and then allowed them to send troops to do things cheaply, plunder some Chu nobles appropriately, ensure sufficient supplies, and then sent

They went to attack Yingdu.

Do not attack other cities or expand territory.

Let them go straight to the capital of Chu State and capture all the nobles there. They didn't believe that Chu State had been brought to ruin. The royal family and nobles invited Luoyang as guests.

Their 400,000-strong army can still be gathered together to attack.

Following Ding Yun's order, the 10,000-strong army led by her cronies immediately headed straight for the capital of Chu State, carrying only medicines. They attacked one or two cities without food on the way, just to grab some food.

Already.

Very simple and easy thing.

And travel lightly and don’t go too fast.

By the time relevant news reached the capital of Chu State, Zhou's 10,000-strong army had already arrived near the capital of Chu State, and attacked the city without delaying even a day.

In order to facilitate them to break through the city gate quickly.

Ding Yun also specially prepared some gunpowder for them.

Therefore, there is no suspense about what will happen next. The city wall of Yingdu collapsed suddenly even after burning incense for a while, and the guards of the capital and the private soldiers of the major nobles could not resist for long.

It collapsed in minutes.

At this point, the King of Chu and the nobles, who had completely believed that there was not a single lie or exaggeration in the battle report, thought of escaping. How could they possibly escape?

After a while, they were captured by the Zhou soldiers. The King of Chu and his wives, along with his brothers, sisters, children, and so on, were all taken away by Yiguoduan.

Tied up, tied up, ready to escort back to Luoyang.

Because when these 10,000 troops go back, they have to take a lot of people with them. In addition, they encounter many nobles on the way and lead their troops to rescue people.

So the speed is inevitably slowed down.

It took twice as long to go back as it did to come.

But slowly, not a single hostage was missing, and they were all brought back. Oh no, Ding Yun specially sent them to Chu State to bring back not a single guest.

They all need to have their tails and tails intact, and none of them are crippled or crippled.

He was invited back to Luoyang City as a guest.
