Chapter 8 Towards the East

Singing sounded in the dark night.

That's the sound of my hometown.

On the battlefield, the army is not allowed to chant songs from hometown. This will make people sad, remind people of their hometown, and their relatives waiting in the distance. For some soldiers, this may arouse stronger fighting spirit, but for most soldiers, it will make people powerless.

So this kind of singing often comes from the enemy.

A deadly breath enveloped the Chu army camp in Yangshan County, and occasionally cried in some of the civilian camps outside.

It's already summer->>Novel.

The battlefields in Yangshan County began to become a little wet and hot, and some diseases caused by the lack of clean water also began to prevail. Every day, people would die due to lack of medicine.

However, both for the Chu army and the Qin army, the most scarce thing is food.

As early as half a month ago, the Chu army had lost supply from the rear, and the fall of Chu capital was accompanied by the news that most of the food and grass transportation routes were cut off to the border army.

The army of the Great Chu Dynasty did not want to fight a protracted war on the front line, so it quickly cut off food and grass.

In fact, the Qin army was in a difficult situation.

Because the Qin army was retreating in front and lost most of its supplies. When the full counterattack began more than ten days ago, most of the Qin army was in short supply, both weapons and food and supplies for combat were extremely scarce, and often faced the Chu army's talisman tools, they had to pay a lot of casualties.

In the past ten days of confrontation, the Qin army still failed and suffered many defeats.

The Chu army barely maintained by seizing the Qin army's food and war horses.

However, the problem is that the moods of both parties are different.

If it were in the past, even if the Chu army was in trouble, as long as the Qin army was not their opponent, they could even chase the depths of the Qin Dynasty and continue to fight like this.

However, they are now isolated and helpless.

No matter how embarrassed the Qin army was, they all had continuous reinforcements.

This consumption will eventually consume all the Chu army on this border.

One side is annihilation of the remaining enemies.

One side is struggling in despair.

...

In the darkness, Concubine Zhao Xiang did not fall asleep. She stood under a banner in front of the camp, listening to the familiar singing in the distance, thinking to herself that such a voice might not be heard for a long time in the future.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Xiang Yan went to a distance not far in front of her and bowed to salute.

"Is there news about Yan?" she asked normally.

Xiang Yan was silent for a while and nodded, "Emperor Yan came out of his army and occupied the thirteen cities between Tianmen Pass and Yan territory. He said that he was to help us send troops to block Qin."

"Same as we expected." Zhao Xiangfei did not get angry, but instead smiled, "It would be the same if I had changed. If I didn't take the opportunity to divide it up, wouldn't it be possible to attack Qin? If it was not done well, it would immediately fall into Qin Qi's attack. It would be better to take the opportunity to get a lot of benefits."

Xiang Yan looked at her bright and charming eyes in the night, and then said, "There has been news from Yinshan Mountain that the siege and killing the Nine Dead Silkworms failed. Tang Mei led the remnants to break through Yinshan Mountain and join the Wu family."

"This is the best news. Even if you don't kill the Nine Death Silkworms like this, Zheng Xiu must be more sleepless than me." Concubine Zhao Xiang shook her head, without much surprise. "I just heard that there are really many dead masters in that place."

Xiang Yan smiled bitterly.

He thought it was more than just a lot.

Many unknown, well-known, and many people in the world who died on that battlefield, even though they were still far from the battle of Changling, were probably far from most famous battles recorded in history books.

"The five-way master in the world go to the world, and Qin Chu goes to the most. In the future, there are many masters of Yan Qi, which is probably the reason why Da Qi accepts the joining forces with Zheng Xiu, and Yan happily accepts the situation at this time." Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Qi is certainly willing to accept the killing situation launched by Qin Zishu, and of course Qi is willing to accept it. Those people in the Bashan Sword Field will die or not, and for them, they are ultimately Qin people."

"It's impossible for Yan Xinran." Zhao Xiangfei said calmly, "Qi will betray us, and naturally they will betray them. Jackals are on their side, so who can sleep peacefully? They are all in harmony with each other's appearance, but in the future they will have their own ulterior motives and will be difficult to get along. It is inevitable that they will meet each other."

Sighing to Yan.

He is a famous general in Dachu.

Especially when Li Mu left, he and Tang Mei were probably the best generals in the Great Chu, and their vision was naturally unique.

Although Zheng Xiu was very hurt by himself, the advantages of the practitioners of the Qin Dynasty in the future may never be returned. However, it completely provoked the dispute between Yan and Qi, making it difficult for Yan and Qi to join forces. In his opinion, this transaction is still only profitable but not loss.

But that was a very distant thing after all. What is near to them is where the remaining 700,000 troops here should go.

Are there any other choices for these good men who have lost their hometown and relatives besides dying here?

What are the people from Bashan Sword Field doing?

As if God heard his inner resentment and call, at this moment, a general hurried to him and handed him a secret note.

Xiang Yan quickly opened it apart, and just took a look, he became a little surprised.

"Lin Zhuijiu let us go east and go to Jiaodong County."

He took a deep breath, calmed himself as much as possible, and looked at Zhao Xiangfei and said, "He said they would try to control Jiaodong County."

Concubine Zhao Xiang smiled slightly, seemed to be a little relaxed, and said, "Then let's go."

Xiang Yan hesitated a little.

Because he is very clear about the differences between some of the words in it, there are big differences between being able to control and being able to control.

What's more, from Yangshan County to Jiaodong County, you will pass through the Nanquan County along the way.

Looking at the hesitation in his eyes, Concubine Zhao Xiang smiled brighter.

She knew where his hesitation came from.

The Nanquan counties were gathering places for the eastern divisions of the Great Chu Dynasty. The gentry was once the opposition to her rule the most. The most important thing was that they had many powerful practitioners, disciples and private troops. Even after Lilingjun took up the throne, they launched several conspiracies to assassinate Lilingjun and her.

If you want to cross there to Jiaodong County, it is not realistic in the eyes of any general. It is easy to be pursued by the Qin army and be attacked by both sides when it is blocked in the front.

"In the front, they thought I was not useful for being a female, and they thought I was a domineering country. Now I flee with the Chu people, it depends on their attitude now." Zhao Xiangfei took a deep breath, letting the sense of power fill her tired body again, and then she continued: "And now, besides the Bashan Sword Field, are there any allies worthy of our trust?"

"Never underestimate the ability of Bashan Sword Field."
