    After listening to Qiao Shan's words, Wen Zhuang's face darkened little by little, "The people of Da Chu should believe in the imperial court instead of the rumors spread in the market. Rumors only stop at the wise. You are all smart people. Why do you believe in some completely baseless rumors?"  Lie?" Qiao Shan shook his head and said: "Guardian, why are you hiding it? The Han army's attack was too sudden, and our Chu army was not prepared for the battle at all. I don't want to discuss the faults of the court officials here.  , but we also know very well that the king has now given up on Jiangjiang. According to the information I have received, all the troops assembled by Qu Taiwei are approaching Yingdu. Taiwei is fighting a decisive battle with the Han army in Yingdu.  It is certainly gratifying that our idea is successful, but if it fails, the Chu country will be destroyed." Wen Zhuang said coldly: "Since the outcome is not yet determined, why have you lost confidence?" "It's not that we have lost confidence.  , but the county guard, can we wait until the moment of the decisive battle in Yingdu? The county guard knew very well that the Han army did not really focus on attacking Jiangdong County. According to the information I got, the King of Han still attached great importance to Jiangdong County, the center of the south.  The city, he doesn¡¯t want to turn this place into a wasteland, but as the decisive battle in Yingdu approaches day by day, I think the Han army will soon lose patience. There are no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. How can they hold on? "  Qiao Shan looked directly at Wen Zhuang.  "That's all. The bigger problem is that the 200,000 elites led by General Qu Wan were blocked in the southern part of Qin and unable to return. If it was General Qu Wan who fought the decisive battle with the Han army in Yingdu,  Those 200,000 people, even if I offer all the food, there will still be a glimmer of hope. But who are the people gathered in Yingdu now? The governor is an important official in the court.  More detailed than us. With just these people, how can they stop the Han Tigers and Wolfs?" Another big merchant from Jiangdong County, the head of the Wang family, also interjected.  Wen Zhuang's eyes became sharp: "What do you want to do? Do you think that Wen is a weak person who can be bullied?" Qiao Shan smiled slightly and said: "Governor, you have great power. You have the power of life and death in the palm of your hand. This Jiangdong City has millions of people.  Our lives are all in your hands, but we are nothing. But because of this, it is not easy to ask the governor to pay more attention to the people. It will not help the Han Dynasty when the war is over.  The king has arrived outside the city. It seems that the Han army has reached the limit of its patience with Jiangdong County. If Jiangdong County has not expressed its intention, I am afraid that the Han army will attack us because we have soldiers but no food and some people have no morale.  "How do you fight this battle?" "Gao Yuan has arrived in Jiangdong County? How do you know? Are you colluding with the Han army?"  Qiao Shan sighed: "County Governor, although I am a businessman, I am still a Chu man. If I and the Han people really colluded, would the Jiangdong County City still be in the hands of the Sheriff? We did get this news from the Han people  We got it, but this was just what some of our former business friends told us. His original intention was for us to find a way to leave Jiangdong County quickly, because the Han army's general attack was about to begin. " Wenzhuang did not eat in the end.  this meal.  Instead, he left Liuyuan frustrated.  "Guardian, these people are simply lawless. Why not capture them all, so that the soldiers will have food and will not have to suffer from food shortages?" After leaving Liuyuan, the captain of the soldiers was still angry.  "The soldiers have food, but what about the people in this city?" Wen Zhuang looked back at Lingering Garden in despair.  "Actually, Qiao Shan and the others are right. The Han people didn't attack Jiangdong County, not because they couldn't conquer it, but because they didn't want to. Maybe Gao Yuan wanted to completely preserve the most prosperous city in the south!" "Since Gao Yuan is here in person.  , I am afraid that the battle to attack Jiangdong County will begin soon. It doesn¡¯t matter if there is food or not." Wen Zhuang smiled bitterly.  " Sheriff!" The captain of the soldiers was shocked.  "No need to say anything. I want to be quiet for a while." Wen Zhuang waved his hand.  It was the dawn of another day, and the Han army camp that had been peaceful for a long time outside Jiangdong County finally began to move. Amid the rumble of drums, groups of soldiers lined up from the camp.  The sound of drums alarmed Jiangdong County. A moment later, Jiangdong County officials headed by Wenzhuang heard the news and went to the city tower.  Looking at the Han troops gathered outside the city, as well as the dense artillery and countless siege vehicles, everyone on the city looked pale.  "Those black things must be the artillery of the Han army!" Wenzhuang turned to Tian Shangyuan beside him and said, "Our navy died in the battle because it was shot by the artillery on the opponent's navy ship.  It was impossible to fight back. The worst thing for a smaller ship to be hit by this cannon was to be broken into two pieces. "Tagami Yuan tightened his lips and said nothing.  But Wen Zhuang noticed that the opponent's hands were shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The general was so brave that even the general was timid, let alone ordinary soldiers.    In the camp of the Central Army of the Han Army, a Yellow Dragon Flag suddenly rose. Compared with other main flags of the Central Army, this Yellow Dragon Flag was not only raised higher, but more importantly, the edge of the Yellow Dragon Flag was  Among them, there are actually nine gold embroideries.  The soldiers who heard the drums turned back and looked in the direction of the Chinese army. Amidst the silence, a deafening cheer suddenly broke out.  "Long live the king!" "Long live the king!" Cheers came one after another. The originally quiet Han army array was like boiling water. Countless weapons were raised high into the sky, and sharp blades were flying.  There was a hint of cold light shining under the sunlight.  ??The Yellow Dragon Flag is inlaid with nine golden lines. In the Kingdom of Han Dynasty, only one person is qualified to unfurl it, and that is the supreme ruler of Han Dynasty, King Gaoyuan.  The sound of the drums suddenly stopped, and the loud sound of the bugle came from under the banner of the Chinese Army. With the sound of the bugle, each array instantly became quiet again.  A flag officer held the flag high and ran straight out of the Chinese army. He did not stop until he reached the artillery position at the front.  Immediately, the artillerymen began to take action, the black muzzles of the guns began to rotate, and the gunners began to get busy.  "Their artillery is about to attack. Please go down first, Commander Wen, sir!" Tian Shang Yuan is a general after all. As soon as he saw the opponent's movements, he immediately judged that the attack was about to begin.  But before the people on the city began to retreat, artillery pieces below the city suddenly began to roar.  Where the smoke was filled, red projectiles emerged from the barrel and flew towards Jiangdong County.  The entire city wall seemed to be shaking, and Wenzhuang was also crumbling. If the captain of the soldiers on the side hadn't grabbed him, he might have fallen on his back.  What surprised everyone was that there was just one round of shelling, but nothing happened.  When the smoke dissipated, the Han army on the opposite side did not launch an attack. However, when people on the city looked left and right, they did not see a single injured person.  Wen Zhuang suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at the city wall outside. His mouth opened with a sound and could not be closed again. On the city wall covered with stones, there were iron bullets embedded in them.  Because of the age of the place, a deep crater was made by the shells.  These shells are basically below the middle of the city wall. Obviously, this is a demonstration shelling by the opponent and not a real siege. Otherwise, it is impossible for all the shells to fall on the wall but not on the wall.  .  The flag officer was holding the flag high at the moment and rushed straight from the artillery position to the moat. At this distance, any archer with a little accuracy on the city could hit this arrogant man with one arrow.  guys, but no one drew the bowstring.  Because behind this man are countless black cannon muzzles. If he is shot down, the terrifying shells will probably fall on the city wall in the next moment.  "Is Commander Wen here?" Under the city, the general shouted: "I am He Weiyuan, the commander of the bodyguard of the King of Han Dynasty. Our king has a few words for me to bring to Commander Wen." Wen Zhuang took a deep breath.  , stood at the edge of the city wall, "Wen is here, what does General He have to say?" "My king said that it has been more than a month since the Han Dynasty's army arrived in Jiangdong County, and the intention of not attacking the county town, I think the county guard also knows it.  As you well know, now the entire Jiangdong County is under the control of our Han army. Jiangdong County has become an isolated city. The reinforcements that the county governor hopes for may not come. Where to go? If County Governor Wen hasn't made up his mind by now.  , my king will inevitably be very disappointed. With the war, this thousand-year-old city, the largest commercial center in the south, will inevitably be destroyed. It is easy to destroy, but difficult to rebuild. In the end, my king gave Governor Wen only one time to consider.  It's been an hour. After one hour, Governor Wen has not opened the city gate, so our general attack will begin. If Kaicheng surrenders, everyone can save their lives and property, but once our army breaks through the city, it will be difficult.  "Two words." After He Weiyuan left these two words, he turned around and walked away without waiting for Wenzhuang's reply.  There was deathly silence in the city.  Yingdu, the royal palace.  Huang Xie walked towards the kingdom with a dejected face. Now most of the Chu Kingdom had been occupied by the Han army. But at this time, King Huai of Chu couldn't bear this major blow and fell ill. Seeing this  The condition of the disease actually became more severe day by day.  Normally, this great king does not seem to be very important. It seems that he and Qu Zhong can take charge of all state affairs, both civilly and militaryly. But today, Huang Xie discovered that without this Dinghai Shenzhen, everything seems to have become more difficult.  .  Qu Zhong¡¯s strategy for the decisive battle in Yingdu is being implemented. Countless armies are concentrating on Yingdu. That will be the last strength of the Chu State. Dozens ofThe army will concentrate on the Jingzhou area to make a final desperate fight with the Han army.  If we lose, there will be no more Chu Kingdom.  (~^~)
