Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 462
Chapter 461: Zhao Jun goes south
In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on July [-]th, in Lu County and Fan County, Li Rubing took a piece of intelligence from Chu State. The intelligence said that at the end of June, Yu Zilong launched a mutiny in Pengcheng and ambushed Chen Ding, the Prime Minister of Chu State. However, they were defeated by Chen Feng and Jiang Zi. Under the joint efforts of Chen Feng and Jiang Zi, they were forced to withdraw from Pengcheng and fled east to Xiapi.

On July [-]th, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi led an army of [-] to besiege Xiapi. Yu Zilong and him fought several battles outside Xiapi city, but were defeated and forced to sit in Xiapi. Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's troops were not enough to besiege the city. Therefore, he had to garrison outside the city of Xiapi.

It has been almost ten days since Li Rubing came to Fan County, and he has been paying close attention to the movements of Chu State. In fact, Li Rubing was able to guess one or two of what happened in Chu State today when Zhang Di was terminally ill. I thought it would be a riot, but I didn't want to cause Chu to fall into civil war again, but it didn't matter, no matter how the Chu civil war went, Zhao would only benefit in the end.

Li Rubing led a 7-strong army to garrison here, Leyun garrisoned [-] troops in Changyi, Shanyang County, and Dong Zhong garrisoned [-] troops in Tan County, Donghai County. They originally planned to launch an attack on Chu in June, but they felt Civil turmoil in Chu is about to start, and Li Rubing insists on not allowing troops to be dispatched. In fact, everything is as Li Rubing expected. Civil war broke out in Chu. There are [-] elites in Chu, [-] of whom are in Peijun, and more than [-] are in Xiapi. Now that there are only [-] people stationed in Pengcheng County, Li Rubing knows that the time has come.

In Fan County, in the camp of the Zhao Army, and in the large tent of the Chinese Army, Li Rubing summoned all the generals and said to them: "Pengcheng Mutiny, Chu Civil War broke out, and now the two sides have fought in Xiapi, and there are only ten thousand people stationed in Pengcheng County. Our time has come!"

When everyone in the tent heard this, their spirits were lifted. They had been talking about sending troops for several months, but Li Rubing kept suppressing them, which made the generals of Zhao Jun very depressed. it's time.

"Please give orders, General!" Everyone clapped their hands in unison.

Li Rubing saw the eyes of the generals full of fighting intent, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Reorganize the soldiers, horses, food and grass. After two days, go south to Xue County and enter Pengcheng County. In addition, send a quick horse to send an order to General Le Yun to lead the troops." Go south to Peijun quickly. It would be good if we can completely wipe out the Chu army in Peijun. He went south to Xiapi, looking for an opportunity to wipe out the Chu army under Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's command!"

Although there are only [-] troops in Pengcheng County, both Xiapi and Peijun are not very far away from Pengcheng. If the attack on Pengcheng is blocked, reinforcements from the Chu army will soon rescue Pengcheng. It is possible, and if the time is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Deng Jun will go north, so Li Rubing directly ordered the three groups to march at the same time without any hesitation.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on July 24th, Li Rubing led an army of [-] to Xue County, without stopping, directly entered Pengcheng, and even destroyed Qixian and Guangqi cities. When the news spread to Pengcheng, the court of Chu State was shaken!
Pengcheng, Overlord's Palace, after learning that the Zhao army had gone south and that Qixian and Guangqi, the two important towns in the north of Pengcheng, had fallen, King Xiang Kuang of Chu panicked and quickly summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters.

"Zhuqing, the Zhao army went south in a big way, smashing the two cities of Qixian County and Guangqi, and the soldiers were approaching Pengcheng. Now there are only [-] soldiers in Pengcheng. Facing the Zhao army's [-] tigers and wolves, I don't know what countermeasures Zhuqing will have. What about it?" Xiang Kuang sat on the throne, desperately suppressing the panic in his heart, and asked the ministers for countermeasures.

But what can the ministers of Chu state do about this?Zhao Jun ruled the world, and in the whole world, except for Qin Jun and Deng Jun who were able to wrestle with Zhao Jun, other countries that once wanted to compete with Zhao Guo for a day, all fell under Zhao Jun's butcher knife. Although the state of Chu has also gained a lot of benefits from the state of Zhao, everyone in the state of Chu has self-knowledge. It is only because Deng Qin is standing in front that the state of Chu has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If the army directly confronts the Zhao army, I am afraid that it will not be long before the army will be defeated. What's more, the Zhao army now has 1 people, while the Chu army only has [-] in Pengcheng. The gap is too big, even if the Chu army No matter how powerful they are, they can't be equal to ten, so all of a sudden, there was complete silence in the Overlord's Hall.

"Everyone talks, isn't he very good at talking on weekdays? Why are they all dumb now?" Seeing the silent group of officials, Xiang Kuang was furious.

Seeing this, Fan Ting, the new Prime Minister of Chu State, sighed, went out and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, now that the enemy is outnumbered, it would be unwise to fight the Zhao army head-on. I think that the people in Pengcheng County should be generalized now." All the soldiers and horses gathered in Pengcheng to resist the Zhao army with the help of the Pengcheng city. However, it is impossible to stop the [-] Zhao army with the soldiers and horses of Pengcheng County alone. Therefore, I ask the king to quickly recall the troops of Peijun and Xiapi. , In addition, send an envoy to Wancheng to ask Deng Guo to send troops to help, as long as Pengcheng can last until the reinforcements arrive, there will be no worries!"

After hearing this, Xiang Kuang nodded in satisfaction. As long as he could hold out until the troops from Peijun and Xiapi came back, Pengcheng would be able to defend, and when Deng Jun went north, Zhao Jun would have nothing to worry about. Strength has been well proven during the Battle of the Central Plains. Zhao Jun is not yet Deng Jun's opponent, so as long as Deng Jun arrives, even if Li Rubing is given 1 courage, he will not dare to confront Deng Jun.

"Okay, Fan Qing is worthy of being the old Prime Minister Fan (Fan Can), and he will not be chaotic in the face of danger. Then according to what Fan Qing said, the widow will immediately issue an edict to recall the soldiers and horses of Peijun and Xiapi to King Qin of Pengcheng. Let him live a few more days, and wait for the widow to retire from the Zhao army, and then ask him to settle accounts. In addition, the matter of going to Wancheng as an envoy is of great importance, and it is related to the life and death of my great Chu, so the widow wants to invite Fan Qing Going there in person will show my sincerity!" Xiang Kuang, who was in a state of confusion, chose to be kind and follow Fan Ting's words when he had no choice but to show his sincerity and respect for Deng Guo. Fan Ting, the prime minister of a country, went to Wancheng as an envoy to ask Deng for help.

"It's right for me to go to Wancheng as an envoy. After all, the state of Deng is not what it used to be, and now I, the Great Chu, have something to ask for from others. Naturally, the matter should be grand. Only the minister can express the great king and the great Chu in person. Sincerity, but my lord, I think now is not the time to confront Yu Zilong. Now that the Zhao army is coming menacingly, even if Deng Guo sends troops to rescue Dachu, we don't know when it will come, so we should concentrate all our forces now, including Yu Zilong, with the help of soldiers and horses in Yu Zilong's hands, it will be more certain to block Zhao Jun, so I ask the king to pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers, at least to stabilize Yu Zilong, and never let him fall to Zhao Jun!" Fan Court said.

Fan Ting, the prime minister of one country, did not feel that there was anything wrong with going to Wancheng as an envoy. After all, whether Chu State can overcome this difficulty depends on Deng Guoken’s willingness to send troops. Besides, the current Deng State has not been for 20 years. The former small country relied on the protection of Chu State to survive. Now Deng State has become the most powerful country in the world. If you are proud, you can only accept the ruin of the country and the family.

However, after accepting the task of going to Wancheng as an envoy, Fan Ting focused on asking Xiang Kuang to pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers. Fan Ting knew very well that with the strength of Chu State, before the arrival of Deng Jun, he could only defend the city. If you are struggling to support, if you can have Yu Zilong's help, Chu State will undoubtedly gain a little confidence in defending Pengcheng, and if Chu State has always regarded Yu Zilong as a rebel, I am afraid that Yu Zilong will directly fall to Zhao Jun. , To Chu State, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

But Xiang Kuang hesitated a little. After all, the impact of Yu Zilong's launch of the Pengcheng Mutiny was too bad, and even if Xiang Kuang could pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers regardless of the previous suspicions, what about the Chen family and Jiang Zi?You must know that Chen Ding and Jiang Zi's family died at the hands of Yu Zilong. If Xiang Kuang issued an edict to pardon Yu Zilong and Zhang's brothers, what would the Chen family and Jiang Zi think?
