In 312 BC, Zhang Yi sent a mission to Chu to rescue Qin.

However, Zhang Yi deceived the king of Chu by agreeing to give the land of six hundred miles to the state of Chu, but Zhang Yi denied it, saying that he would only give the land of six hundred miles to the state of Chu.

The King of Chu was furious and sent General Qu Gai to fight against Qin.

Qin and Chu fought in the Danyang area, and the Chu army was defeated. The Qin State beheaded more than [-] Chu troops, and captured Qu Gai, the general of the Chu army.

The King of Chu was furious again, and sent an army to fight the Qin army again, but was defeated by Lantian again.

The king of Chu had no choice but to swallow the bad breath.

After all, the elixir, which is a must for military strategists, was taken into the arms of Qin State. Qin State also obtained Chu State's six hundred miles of land, established Hanzhong County, and did not win Sichuan and Shu to lay the foundation.

The Qu family also suffered heavy losses in this war. Their patriarch Qu Gai was captured, so they had to move south as a whole, and finally settled in Linjiang City.

But Qu Yuan was only a member of the Qu clan, because of his outstanding talent, he was promoted by the Qu clan to the position of Sanlu doctor in the state of Chu.

However, Qu Yuan didn't want to join forces with the idiots, and often provoked the King of Chu into a rage, so Qu Yuan's fate can be imagined. If he is not reused, he will be demoted one after another.

Qu Yuan, who was demoted, was in a depressed mood. After traveling in the mountains and rivers in the Xiangjiang River Basin and writing a series of articles such as "Li Sao", he heard that his country was captured by the Qin State.

At this time, Qu Yuan was already old, and he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Incompetent generals, incompetent ministers, incompetent kings...

Do not listen to the advice of those who understand, everyone is treacherous, listen to lies, and finally let Qin State destroy the capital.

Shame, this is a great shame!

later.

He also heard that after the King of Chu fled to Chendi, he had no intention of fighting Qin and regaining the capital of the country.

Still under the persuasion of treacherous ministers, he was ready to settle down in a corner. Qu Yuan was sad and indignant, and after writing "Nine Chapters, Huaisha", he jumped into the Miluo River with a stone in his arms.

"Nine Chapters, Huaisha" is Qu Yuan's desperate poem. He hopes to use his own death to shock the hearts of the people and inspire the monarch, so that the whole country will unite as one, and then fight against Qin State and take back the country's capital, avenging shame.

However, Qu Yuan's death did not even wake up the hearts of the people of Chu, let alone the incompetence of the King of Chu and the corruption of the court ministers.

It was also from this moment that the country of Chu, which was once mighty and mighty for a long time, gradually declined.

Chapter 393 Attacking Qu's Lair

Xiao He and the others set off from Xianyang, and after half a month's journey, they finally arrived outside the city of Linjiang in the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River.

The more than 1000 miscellaneous troops that started from Xianyang have now transformed into more than 5000 miscellaneous troops.

Xiao He is the commander-in-chief, Liu Ji is the right general, Cao Can is the left general, Lu Wan is in the army, and Jing Ke and the scout troops brought by Jing Ke are the army.

After crossing the Yangtze River, they headed all the way to Linjiang City.

now.

Linjiang City.

The Qu clan was terrified, and a group of robbers suddenly appeared outside the city.

Because there are everyone in this group, the posture is obviously a group of robbers.

"Quick, let everyone go to the city, defend the city, defend the city..."

Linjiang City is already in chaos.

Qu's mansion, an old ancestor of the Qu's, was helped out from inside, his whole body trembling.

"Why, why, there are bandits coming to attack Linjiang City?"

"These damned beasts don't come sooner or later, but they come at this time. What should they do?"

"Hurry up and get someone to ask for help, and bring Yingbu and Jibu back!"

At this time, the county magistrate of Linjiang City also came to the gate of the Qu family, and he and a group of people were already scared to pee.

Outside the city, there are bandits with knives and guns.

If he invaded the city, he would be the first to die. I heard that even the county magistrate in the north was killed by the bandits.

"Old patriarch, help!"

The county magistrate threw himself down in front of Qu's ancestor, tears streaming down his face.

"Bastard, you didn't go to the city to resist, but you came to ask the old man for help. How can the old man save you? The gate of the city is broken, and the Qu clan will probably perish."

This county magistrate is also a member of the Qu family, this unworthy descendant, as a county magistrate, did not resist the enemy, but ran to him and cried.

"Hurry up, ask the guards at home to take up their knives and guns and go to the city to defend the city. They must not be allowed to attack Chen Lai."

The guards were also in a mess. Who would have thought that at this time, such a group of bandits came, and the army of the Qu clan went to the north to fight against the Qin people!

Even if someone has been sent to deliver the letter, how can they resist the group of desperadoes?

Outside the city, the local guards in the county had already fought with Xiao He and others.

As a result, Xiao He and others won a complete victory and beheaded the leader of the opponent. At this moment, they were approaching the city gate. However, there were crossbows and catapults on the tower. Xiao He ordered Liu Ji and Cao Shen to attack three times, but they were all beaten back. .

The opponent's bows and crossbows were too strong, they couldn't rush through the rain of arrows and flying stones, and get close to the city gate. Moreover, Linjiang City was built extremely tall and strong because of Qu's.

"Commander, it's too late, the brothers suffered heavy casualties."

Liu Ji came galloping on his horse and shouted at Xiao He.

After a while, Cao Shen also came back with his men. They also suffered heavy losses at the south gate.

"Commander, it's time to show the big guys and teach them some lessons."

Xiao He had a cold face, and glared at the two of them. How can you not understand his intentions!

With so many people now, how much benefit can we gain after rushing into the city?

"One more charge, the sky will be dark immediately, if you can't attack tonight, tomorrow morning, use big guys to teach them..."

The two had no choice but to lead the army and attack the city gate again.

More than 5000 people, by the next morning, nearly 1000 people had been lost.

Xiao He looked at it, damn it, those guys in the city are really fucking good, and they only took more than 1000 heads for free.

No matter, if we wait any longer, reinforcements may come, and when the elite troops arrive, even they will die here.

"Lu Wan, have someone pull the big guys up and give them a hard lesson."

Lu Wan hurriedly asked someone to pull out the big crossbows. These were the three big crossbows that Zi Nu spent a lot of money and reported to the Taiwei's mansion. Xiao He asked Xiao He to take them. At the same time, she ordered Jing Ke and others, If there is an accident, destroy these three crossbows immediately, and don't let them fall into the hands of the enemy.

Xiao He led the crowd to the gate of the East City, and brought out the crossbows of the three families.

On the tower, the generals of the Qu family all looked curiously at the three large crossbows rolled out from below.

Among the members of the Qu clan, someone recognized the three dark objects as big crossbows, and their eyes widened immediately.

"These are not bandits, they are Qin people, they are Qin soldiers..."

The members of the Qu clan and the soldiers guarding the city looked confused.

Qu Huan's son, that is, Qu Yuan's grandson, Qu Jiu, immediately strode up to the clansman and asked, "Why do you say they are Qin soldiers?"

"Major General, I participated in the Northern War a few years ago. That dark thing is called a big crossbow. It is a siege weapon of the Qin people. It has a range of more than 300 steps. A single crossbow arrow can blow away half of the buildings on the tower... "

Qu Liu's face turned pale, no wonder this group of people fought bravely and strategically, and they were very powerful. I didn't expect that it was Qin soldiers, the hateful Qin people, who dared to attack their Qu's ancestral land.

Aren't they afraid that the people of the world will rise up and attack them?

"Hurry up and ask people to tell the ancestors that the Qin soldiers are here. They have a big weapon...the big crossbow, that is a siege weapon. We can't defend it anymore. Let the ancestors take people away."

"Children of the Qu family, we will die here today because behind us are the descendants of the Qu family..."

Qu Liu was about to burst into tears, his anger was unbearable, and the Qin people were so shameless that they attacked their ancestral land of the Qu family.

"The people above are from the Qu clan, open the gate and surrender quickly, otherwise, I will attack the city gate and leave no one behind..."

"The people of Qin are so shameless that they dare to sneak attack on my ancestral land of the Qu family. Aren't they afraid that the people of the world will attack them together..."

Xiao He shrugged his shoulders, took a step forward, and said with a sneer, "Shoot an arrow and shoot him to death!"

Whoosh!

A huge crossbow pierced the air and shot directly in Qu Liu's direction.

boom!

This arrow unexpectedly shot out, not hitting Qu Liu, but beside Qu Liu, but this arrow also took away three members of the Qu clan, and nailed them to the wall behind him, and the roof tiles fell off. land.

"Major General..."

The members of the Qu clan hurriedly dragged Qu Liu away, and the city was in chaos.

Qu Liu was stunned. He was almost shot through just now, and his forehead was sweating. He didn't know how he was dragged down the city wall.

It wasn't until they were under the city that they realized that their legs were a little weak, and they said with trembling lips, "Quick, please come out quickly, the old ancestor."

However, at Qu's mansion in the city, Jing Ke and two masters were already standing in front of Qu's ancestral hall.

The ancestors of the Qu clan looked at Jing Ke with a cold face.

"You waited for the people of Yan to help the tyrant, and you didn't know that after the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, the next one would be the Yan Kingdom?"

Chapter 394 People in the Jianghu: They Are All Big Liars

Jing Ke said indifferently: "Isn't it good that the country is unified and there is no war?"

"Although I, Jing Ke, am a grassroots person, I also have a pure heart. I hope that the world will be peaceful, the subjects will be happy and healthy, and that there will be no war in the world..."

"All of this can only be achieved if the world is unified, the King of Qin is benevolent, and has great ambitions. He can feed and clothe the people of the world."

"This is the reason why I came to help Qin State even though I am a native of Yan State."

"Those who lose their way are seldom helped, but those who gain the way are much helped. Could it be that Mr. Qu, who has lived his whole life, doesn't even understand this truth?"

Old man Qu almost vomited blood. This man is hopeless and has been assimilated by Qin.

Seeing that the members of the Qu clan could not be persuaded, Jing Ke turned around and glanced at Gao Jianli and Fei Yan beside him.

Gao Jianli and Fei Yan are the helpers that Jing Ke recruited this time. In fact, they have been in contact for a long time, but Fei Yan was hunted down by the Yin Yang family and the arrested people, so she never dared to show up.

Jing Ke felt that going south this time to the state of Chu was a great opportunity for Fei Yan to settle down in the state of Qin, and she couldn't hide in Tibet for the rest of her life!

So Gao Jianli and Fei Yan followed Jing Ke to the south.

Gao Jianli glanced at the head of the Qu clan, clasped his fists and said, "Old Qu, you just surrender, at least you can keep the Qu clan, if you continue to be stubborn like this, the Qu clan will be lost."

"Do you know what kind of people are outside the city?"

The head of the Qu clan snorted coldly: "Aren't you a soldier of the Qin people? Come and destroy the Qu clan if you have the ability, hahaha, my Qu clan has been passed down for more than 300 years..."

Gao Jianli shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's not Qin Bing, they are a group of desperadoes from all over the world, they came here for Qu's property!"

The old ancestor of the Qu family trembled in his heart. If it was Qin Bing, he would not be worried. Qin Bing would not dare to kill members of his Qu family, but if it was a group of desperadoes, then...

"Patriarch Qu, you have to think clearly!"

"The children of the Qu clan, wives and daughters, and half-grown children are all here. The people outside the city are not Qin Bing, but murderers. They only care about your family's money, not your reputation. and human life."

"Patriarch... Patriarch, it's not good..."

A disciple of the Qu family came rushing forward, covered in blood all over his body, but it was the blood of his companions that rushed to him after the arrow shot just now.

"What's the matter, is the city broken..."

"No, those people are..."

The disciple of the Qu clan hadn't spoken yet, when Fei Yan moved her fingers, and a gust of black energy rushed into the body of the Qu clan member, and this person seemed to have changed into a different person in an instant, becoming sluggish and dull.

"They, they are bandits. They are about to break through the city. They say that after entering the city, they will slaughter the city. No one will be left behind. Patriarch, give the order to surrender!"

boom!

After the man finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the knife guarded by the patriarch and said with a wry smile: "Patriarch, I'll take a step first."

After the man finished speaking, he touched his neck with a knife.

"Do not……"

The ancestor of Qu's eyes were red, and he yelled loudly, but the disciples in the clan in front of him fell to the ground and started to twitch.

Jing Ke immediately said: "Old Qu, hurry up and order to surrender, we will help you, don't let them kill the members of the Qu clan!"
