As soon as these words came out, some of the Yue people present looked resentful, some were expressionless, and some had a faint expectation on their faces.

Although the news of the Yue people in Wucheng has not yet arrived, the news of Huaibei, under the deliberate spread of the Chu people, has already reached Yue a few days ago.

As the Chu envoy said, the high-level and the army of Shandao City were washed in blood by the Chu people, and they were also punished.

At the same time, Gongsun Hai, who took the initiative to kill the king of Yue and took refuge in the Chu State, has become the Yuan Jun of the Chu State, and he has a territory of fifty miles under his rule, and he is a proper great feudal monarch of the Chu State.

In addition, Cao Yu, who took the lead in taking refuge in the Chu people, was also entrusted by the king of Chu to be reused.

The news of Huaibei flashed in Yue Wangjiu's mind one by one, at this time, Yue Wangjiu suddenly had an idea, if it was a time of danger, would the Yue people in the city follow Gongsun Hai's example and kill him, the king of Yue, to invite merit from the Chu people?

Thinking about it, Yue Wangjiu instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly found that as a king, it was too normal to call himself a widow.

Where is this humility, clearly reminding yourself at all times that the king is a loner.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but secretly say: The widow knows what the widow is today!

On the other side, Qian Yu saw that Yue Wang Jiu did not refute the Chu envoy, but instead had a cold sweat on his head, looking overly frightened. So, he sighed slightly in his heart, then shook his head, immediately took a step forward, and shouted:

"Envoy Chu, the true appearance of your persuasion is already known. However, the prime minister asked you to come into the city, not to ask the Chu people to surrender, but to tell the Chu people that I have been founding the country for more than 1,000 years, and I was defeated by the Wu State in the past.

Now there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in my Yue country, 100,000 warriors, and hundreds of thousands of people. ”

Qian Bei's voice was very loud, and the Yue soldiers, who had already been aroused to fight, suddenly surged up when they heard the words of the original city guard.

At this time, Chu Yan lost no time in shouting: "The Chu State wants to destroy the Yue State, and I will never agree, I will not agree..."

After Chu Yun shouted "no promise" several times in a row, the surrounding soldiers reacted and shouted: "Don't agree..."

After a while, this voice resounded throughout the city, and even Tang Wu, who was looking outside the city, heard it clearly.

The shouting continued for a while, and only slowly stopped when Wu Yan's face became extremely ugly.

At this time, Qian Bei said with a cold face: "Messenger, you see how determined the soldiers and people in my city are, if the Chu State wants to meet the city and persuade them to surrender, please avoid opening the mouth, or come directly to attack the city, the prime minister is waiting in the city, waiting for the arrival of the Chu people at any time." ”

After speaking, Qian Yu didn't wait for Wu Xuan to speak, so he coldly ordered: "Pass the order, send the messenger out of the city." ”

Outside the city.

Wu Xuan came to see Tang Yu in front of him, and said with a ashamed face: "General, I am incompetent and have failed to persuade him to surrender." ”

"It doesn't matter, it is expected that the matter of persuasion will not be so easy." Tang Yu smiled, and then asked, "Sir, I don't know what the situation is in the city?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yan immediately told everything he saw and heard in the city.

Tang Yu said with a heavy face: "It seems that the soldiers and people in the city are very strong-spirited and have high morale, and the next siege battle will probably be a vicious battle!" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yu smiled again, and looked at Huiji City with a relaxed face: "However, the way to use soldiers lies in the transformation of virtual and real, virtual is real, real is virtual, there are many soldiers in the city, but judging from Yue Wangjiu's attitude, the defenders in the city should be extremely scarce, so it is the right time to say that the future is right."

Originally, Ben Jiang was also worried that he would be attacked by the Yue people if he dug a ditch and built a wall outside the city, but now, Ben Jiang is not worried at all. With the strength of the city, he would never dare to go out of the city to harass.

Moreover, Gongzi Jiu is enthroned as the king of Yue, and he will guard the money belly as the prime minister, and the other Yue ministers have all become the foil of the money belly, perhaps, this is also an opportunity. ”

After speaking, Tang Mo ordered: "Order, leave 10,000 soldiers to build a camp and build equipment, and the other soldiers will leave 1,000 soldiers on guard at Sanmen, and the rest will all go to dig a ditch." It was supposed to block the roads leading from Huiji City to the southeast, south, and west within three days. ”

"No!"

After the military order was issued, Tang Wu led the remaining soldiers to the direction of Chu Ying, which was not far away.

On the way, Tang Mo looked up at the north and muttered, "Now, the general is waiting for reinforcements to come to attack the city." ”

For the next few days, the Chu army had been digging ditches and building walls outside the city.

And just as Tang Mo expected, there was a serious shortage of soldiers in the city, and he didn't dare to go out of the city to harass him.

Therefore, the Chu army was built without distractions, and on the same day, the road to Huiji City was cut off, and the next day, a long wall extended from the road to both sides.

Five days later.

Chu Ying.

Zhao Ying reported to Tang Yuyu: "General, I was ordered to build a barrier, which lasted five days, and a simple ditch wall has been built on the southeast and west sides of Huiji City, cutting off the road from Huiji City to other places. ”

"Good!" Tang Yu responded, and then spoke again: "Ben General has received news that the 120,000 reinforcements led by General Sima have arrived in Yuhang, calculate the time, and they will arrive outside Huiji City in a few days."

In order to attack the city as soon as possible, only 5,000 Chu troops were left to monitor the outer barriers, and the rest of the troops were all transferred back to build siege equipment. ”

When Zhao Ying heard that reinforcements were about to arrive, he immediately responded excitedly: "Yes, General." ”

Three days later, at dusk, Sima Jian led reinforcements to the Chu camp outside the city.

The movement of the Chu reinforcements into the Chu camp was very great, and, under the deliberate manipulation of Tang Yu, in order to intimidate the Yue people, the reinforcements formed a long dragon and entered the Chu camp from a gate, which lasted for an hour, until it was completely dark, and all the reinforcements were in the Chu camp today.

City.

The monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom looked at the direction of the Chu camp outside the city, and saw that the entire Chu camp was full of torches, dense, like dense stars in the sky, illuminating the entire Chu camp.

Moreover, the Chu camp was full of people, even if he stood several miles away, he seemed to be able to hear the noisy noise of the Chu people.

At this time, Yue Wangjiu's face was pale, he was silent for a long time, and asked Qian Yu in a trembling voice: "Xiangguo, originally I thought that only 50,000 Chu troops outside the city would attack the city, and even if there were reinforcements, there would not be too many. However, now, the reinforcements of the Chu State are at least 150,000, and they may be close to 200,000, plus the Chu army outside the city, that is hundreds of thousands of troops.

I don't know how long Xiangguo can hold in the face of 200,000 troops attacking the city, with 5,000 soldiers in the city and tens of thousands of people? ”

After Yue Wangjiu finished speaking, he looked at Qian Belly with a nervous face, according to the original plan, wait for the countries to send troops to intervene, and then the Chu State retreats under the pressure of various countries, it may take several months, if Huiji City is besieged by 200,000 troops, can it hold on to the moment when the Chu State withdraws?

Yue Wangjiu was very suspicious in his heart.

At this time, Qian Bei heard King Yue's inquiry, his face was ugly, and he was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "Don't worry, the king, this is the Chu people bluffing, just like the previous ministers could intimidate the envoys of the Chu State, in fact, there are not many real soldiers. Chen predicted that the Chu reinforcements would be at most 50,000, and more likely only 30,000. ”
