Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 289

Outside Shouchun City, there are huge crowds of people, Li Yuan, king of Chu, greets Zhou Chong in person.It's no wonder that Zhou Chong led the army to help the battle. To the king of Chu and to Li Yuan, he was a lifesaver.

This is the second time Zhou Chong has come to Shouchun. The last time he came as an envoy of the Qin State, he pretended to enter the city. This time he led an army of [-] to come here, under the banner of helping the war, to destroy the reality of Chu, and he had a great mission. , it can be said that there is a world of difference.

"Li Yuan has met Mr. Zhou." Li Yuan saw Zhou Chong from a distance, and almost trotted to meet him.He has a fat body, and when he started to run, the fat on his body trembled like undulating waves.

Before Zhou Chong jumped off the horse, Li Yuan had already supported Zhou Chong's leg and held Zhou Chong's hand, as if he was as happy as seeing a star, and kept saying: "Mr. Zhou, you can be regarded as coming, you can be regarded as Here it is. It’s good that Mr. Zhou is here, it’s good that he’s here.”

"Your Majesty has repeatedly said that the state of Qin and Chu is like brotherhood. The affairs of Chu are the affairs of Great Qin. Zhou Chong dare not follow his orders when the prime minister summons him." With the kind help of Li Yuan, Zhou Chong jumped off his horse, pretending to be affectionate Zhuang took Li Yuan's hand and spoke nice words.

Li Yuan was very happy and said: "The matter of the state of Chu and the labor of the Great Qin, Li Yuan always thinks about it, and he feels ashamed in his heart, he feels ashamed in his heart."

Zhou Chong comforted him and said: "The prime minister is too modest. If it weren't for the prime minister's support, forgive Zhou Chong for saying bluntly that the situation in Chu State may be unsatisfactory. Although the current situation in Chu State is worrying, it is not the prime minister's fault. The prime minister dedicated himself to the building, dedicated himself to the state of Chu, it is really touching."

These words reached Li Yuan's heart, and Li Yuan was really moved, and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you, Mr. Zhou, thank you. Mr. Zhou, come and meet the king."

"Zhou Chong is going to visit the king, please introduce him to the prime minister." Zhou Chong followed his words.

Li Yuan took Zhou Chong's hand, and the two came to the King of Chu side by side. Zhou Chong saluted and said, "The foreign minister Zhou Chong has seen the king. Zhou Chong should have met with a big ceremony, but Zhou Chong was wearing armor. It is inconvenient to move, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

For the king of Chu, Zhou Chong is the savior, so how dare he ask him to salute, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou is serious. Mr. Zhou is busy with the affairs of the state of Chu. It should be the widow who salutes Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou said so It's to break the widow."

This is the second time for Zhou Chong to meet the King of Chu. The first time he saw him was a half-grown child. He hadn't grown taller for several years. He has grown up, but he is still not out of childishness, he can only be regarded as a child.As a young man enthroned, King Qin's brilliance and martial arts are natural, but he gives people a sense of mediocrity, no wonder the state of Chu is getting weaker and weaker.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Zhou Chong came late, I feel ashamed." Zhou Chong was very polite.

The king of Chu changed the subject and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, how many troops did Daqin send?"

It's really superficial to ask this matter as soon as we meet, but an incompetent person like him can only care about this matter. Although Zhou Chong was disdainful in his heart, he didn't show it. A total of 20 troops were dispatched. The troops were divided into two groups. One was led by foreign ministers and went straight to Shouchun. The other was led by Wang Jian and went straight to Yingdu. The two armies echo each other from a distance, and it is more beneficial to attack from east to west than to squeeze together."

"20, that's not a lot, that's great!" The King of Chu clapped his hands and cheered like a child, looking at him as if he had picked up a good treasure, and said, "Mr. Yes, why don't you bring all 20? Is this easy to separate?"

Obviously, he didn't know anything about fighting. Zhou Chong secretly sighed in his heart that if such an incompetent person became king, it would be unreasonable for Chu to perish. It is enough to invest in one place. If all the troops are concentrated in one place, logistics, supplies, etc. will be very difficult. Besides, road traffic will be a problem, and the more serious problem is whether they can fully Expand and play its due role.

"In my opinion, the current state of Chu is at a stalemate. It is more effective to divide the Qin army into two groups than to gather together, because the attack area is wider, and it will take less time to put down the chaos in Chu."

The king of Chu suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case. If Mr. Zhou hadn't interpreted it, I really wouldn't understand it. However, the troops Mr. Zhou brought to Shouchun are too small. How can we fight with the current strength?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhou Chong brought only [-] troops to Shouchun, which is a bit small, but it was enough for Zhou Chong to win Shouchun, take away the capital of Chu State, and wipe out all the important figures of Chu State.

As soon as the two envoys left, Zhou Chong immediately sent someone to report to King Qin, and discussed with Wang Jian and the others.After some discussions, it was finally agreed that Zhou Chong's proposal was feasible, that is to change the deployment, no longer concentrate the troops, and divide them into several routes to go to important cities. The only purpose is once Zhou Chong wins Shouchun, then attack immediately The local defenders of Chu State took over the city.The advantage of doing this is that it can occupy a large area of ​​Chu's city in a short period of time, so that the war can end early.

No need to think about it, knowing that the king of Qin would definitely agree, so Zhou Chong didn't wait for the king's will to arrive, and immediately ordered all the troops to dispatch, so the battle to destroy Chu officially kicked off.

Zhou Chong fabricated a lie and said: "Your Majesty does not know something. The rescue of Chu was rushed. Our Daqin troops are all moving north. How can we arrive in a short time. Zhou Chong has no choice but to enter as soon as they arrive." In the battle of Chu, the army brought to Shouchun by the foreign ministers was not too many, only more than [-] people. Please rest assured, the king, Zhou Chong can guarantee that he will never miss the king's business." To destroy the state of Chu, of course Don't miss the matter of the king of Chu, he is no longer the king, so why worry?
"It turns out that this is the case, the widow is worrying for nothing." King Chu was very relieved.

Li Yuan took Zhou Chong's hand and said: "Mr. Zhou, come and see the ovary quickly." Zhang Liang made a lot of tricks and won the trust of the King of Chu and Li Yuan. Introduction.

Zhou Chong glanced at Zhang Liang, and stood with his arms folded, with a self-contained and strange aura, which made people dare not look at him closely.Zhang Liang's left eye flashed at Zhou Chong intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhou Chong's right eye blinked. The two were in the same mind, but they pretended to meet for the first time. Seeing the ovary as soon as possible is a lifelong comfort. Zhou Chong is happy to see the ovary now." The relationship between the two is good, and it is true that Zhou Chong misses Zhang Liang, and this is very sincere.

Zhang Liang also said sincerely: "Zhang Liang has met Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is famous. Zhang Liang has heard about it for a long time. He has long wanted to see Mr. Zhou. He always meets him by chance. Today, meeting Mr. Zhou is a lifelong comfort." Stretch out to Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong stretched out his hands, held Zhang Liang's hand tightly, and stared at each other with a tacit understanding of his friendship.
