Chen Ying.
It was one of the cities of Chu that Wang Ben, the general of Qin, had conquered before he destroyed the State of Wei.
To the southeast of this place was a flat area, so Chen Ying was regarded by Ying Zheng as a springboard to attack Chu.
If Great Qin wanted to act against Chu, this was the most suitable place to go deep into Chu.
Therefore, after taking down this place, Ying Zheng directly sent Lord Chang Ping, the Qin minister of the Chu Clan, over.
On one hand, he was overseeing Chen Ying, and on the other, he was contacting the Chu clan.
The land of Jing Chu was five thousand miles wide, and there were many powerful aristocrats there.
Qu, Jing and Zhao were the most prominent.
The king of Chu killed his brother and became king himself, which undoubtedly violated the interests of the old nobles in Chu.
These nobles were quite dissatisfied with Fu Chu and wanted to use the Qin country to drive Fu Chu out of the throne and regain their own interests.
Naturally, Ying Zheng would not let go of such a good opportunity.
He sent Lord Chang Ping to Chen Ying to borrow the power of these nobles to restrain Chu.
Great Qin had successively destroyed Han, Zhao, and Wei, but Chu had never sent troops to help. These nobles could be said to have contributed greatly.
In front of the city gate of Chen Ying, Lord Changping came out of the city to welcome Li Xin and Meng Tian into the city.
"Generals, you have worked hard on the road. Why don't you rest in Chen Ying for a few more days and then plan how to send troops to Chu?”After the three of them sat down, Lord Chang Ping spoke to Li Xin.
Li Xin shook his head." No need. Let the soldiers rest for a day. We will leave Chen Ying in the evening."”
"Before we came, we had already discussed with the king that we had to attack the hinterland of Chu as quickly as possible. As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing in war. If we stay in Chen Ying for too long, it will be difficult for the Chu army to react.”Facing Chang Pingjun, Li Xin didn't directly tell him the specific plan of this expedition.
" General, you are right, so I won't stop you," Lord Chang Ping continued." Generals, please let me know if you need my help in this expedition to Chu. I will do my best to contribute to Great Qin's attack on Chu.”
Li Xin laughed,"It's enough for Lord Chang Ping to protect Chen Ying."”
" Chen Ying is the rear of our army. We cannot afford to lose," Li Xin reminded him calmly. He then said in a relaxed tone," However, with Lord Chang Ping guarding Chen Ying, Meng Tian and I do not have to worry.”
"General Li Xin, you flatter me."”
......
At night, the city gates of Chen Ying City were wide open.
The 200,000 Qin soldiers who had rested for the entire morning took advantage of the night to come out.
After seeing Li Xin and Meng Tian's army leave, Lord Chang Ping slowly walked down from the city wall.
Just as he returned to his residence and was about to rest, a commotion came from outside the door.
"Not good! Put out the fire!"
"Fire, fire!"
He was jolted awake from his sleep. He hurriedly tidied his clothes and went out to ask,"What happened? What happened?"
"Lord Chang Ping, bad news! The two granaries that stored military rations were on fire!”
"What?" Lord Chang Ping was shocked." That is the grain that General Li Xin and Meng Tian need to attack Chu! If it was burned, the consequences would be unimaginable! Why are you still standing there? Come with me to put out the fire!"
Just as he was about to rush to the scene, a few figures appeared outside the door.
"Hehe, where is Lord Chang Ping going?”
"To extinguish the fire, of course…"
He subconsciously replied, but when his gaze fell on the person who came, he was stunned.
"G-Young Master? Why did you appear in Chen Ying?"
It was none other than Master Chu, Jing Han!
" Lord Chang Ping, you know the answer." Jing Han walked up to Lord Chang Ping and said confidently," I'm here to persuade Lord Chang Ping to return to Chu."”
"Impossible!" Lord Chang Ping refused sternly," I am already a subject of Qin. Great Qin is about to attack Chu. How can I betray Qin at this juncture?”
"Lord Changping, do you really want me to expose you?" Jing Han laughed contemptuously.”
"The three clans have already told me about the conditions you agreed to.”
"However, the King of Qin is still unwilling to implement the enfeoffment policy. Can't Lord Changping see it?”
"If the King of Qin wanted to enfeoffment, why would he delay it?”
"Once he makes an announcement to the world and enfeoffes us, our Chu Country will definitely collapse without attacking!”
"The fact that the King of Qin is unwilling to enfeoffment is already a foregone conclusion. It is already the opposite of Lord Changping's thoughts. With such a King of Qin and such a Great Qin, is Lord Changping really willing to continue serving them?”
"This…"
Young Master Jing Han's words had obviously hit the nail on the head.
Long before he came to Chen Ying, he had suggested to Ying Zheng more than once to establish enfeoffment.
However, Ying Zheng would always use the excuse that the Six Nations had not been destroyed and the world had not been unified as an excuse to refuse.
Even the Lord of Changping knew that once Great Qin pushed forward with enfeoffment, the Chu State would collapse without bloodshed. Even so, Ying Zheng did not enfeoffment immediately.
In fact, he had already made a judgment in his heart, but now Jing Han had helped him break through that layer of paper.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Jing Han said,""Lord Chang Ping, don't worry. We burned the provisions two hours after Li Xin and Meng Tian's army left. Now that Chen Ying is on fire, the Qin army is unaware.”
"Lord Chang Ping will stay here with this young master. When the Zhu Country sends an army to take over Chen Ying, the situation will be settled!”
Jing Han took the uniform of the Chu army and handed it to Lord Chang Ping.
"Change into this military uniform and welcome my Chu army into the city with this young master.”
Looking at the attire in his hands, Lord Chang Ping remained silent…
