Chapter 195 The Time Has Come (Please Support!)
The fiery clouds have not yet subsided, and the pillow is startled by a leaf of wind. In the desolate gardens, who's pestle and anvil is in the loneliness.

"How many days will the food and grass in the camp last?"

Wang Jian, the first general of the Qin army, led an army of 600,000, with Meng Wu as his deputy general and the eldest son Fusu as his military supervisor. After leading the 600,000 troops into Chu, he did not rush to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan. Instead, Wang Jian chose to stay put and confront the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops led by Xiang Yan, the Wu'an Jun of Chu.

The autumn breeze, which was filled with the fragrance of ripe crops, filled the sky and earth and rushed into the mouth and nose of Wang Jian, who was standing outside the camp with several generals and hundreds of personal soldiers. At that moment, even though Wang Jian had just finished dinner, he still felt hungry and wanted to have a big meal.

"Marshal, the army has enough food to last for ten days." General Meng Wu stepped forward and bowed.

"For ten days?"

Wang Jian murmured the number, and a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his old eyes, which were cloudy but still filled with pure light.

[During this period, Changping Jun's transportation of military supplies was always delayed for a few days. Although, the soldiers and horses escorting the grain and grass said that they were harassed by the Chu army during the transportation of grain. But, is it really so? Could it be that Changping Jun really wants to rebel? ] Wang Jianyu calculated in his mind and recalled the secret that Tianxuanzi told him when he was in Yingchuan County.

In an instant, Wang Jian's heart felt heavy.

Decades of experience gained from marching and fighting told Wang Jian that if Changping Jun really wanted to rebel against Qin and join Chu, now was the best time, at most one month later!
"General Meng," Wang Jian said with a heavy heart, looking sideways at Meng Wu, "Send someone to inform Lord Changping to send a month's worth of food and fodder directly next time."

Without waiting for Meng Wu to answer, Wang Jian cast his gaze into the distance, as if he wanted to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and reach the Chu army camp dozens of miles away: "The Chu army has been confronting us for so long because most of the soldiers and horses in it are private soldiers of local feudal lords. If I attack directly, these soldiers and horses with their own ulterior motives, thinking of 'where will the hair stay if the skin is gone', may unite as one and fight to the death with my Great Qin!"

"But, the confrontation has lasted for so long that the feudal lords of Chu State are probably getting impatient."

"The decisive battle is about to begin!"

At the end of his speech, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed across Wang Jian's eyes. Because of his agitated emotions, the cloak behind Wang Jian fluttered without wind, showing the awe-inspiring demeanor of an iron-blooded warrior.

The Qin army had been trapped in the barracks for months, and their morale was like a flood about to break through a dam. Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, each general's face was filled with genuine excitement.

…………

The Chu army camp.

"Alright, we're about to defeat the enemy!"

After the Qin army had been in a standoff with the Chu army for a long time, Wang Jian, as an old veteran on the battlefield, judged that the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops that were barely put together had already started to quarrel internally, and the time for war had come. Inside the Chu army, the Chu army commander, Xiang Yan, was also excited about the imminent defeat of the enemy.

In the commander's tent, Xiang Yan, wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, could not hide his heroic spirit despite his advanced age. Upon hearing the news brought by the special envoy, he slapped the table in front of him and shouted excitedly.

"Please go back and tell the king that everything will go according to plan." Immediately, Xiang Yan stood up from the commander's chair and winked at his son Xiang Liang who took out a gold cake and handed it to the messenger.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for this." The middle-aged man with an ordinary face, who would be lost in the crowd and could never be found again, pushed away the gold cake handed to him by Xiang Liang, "Everything is for the Chu State. I am just an errand boy, so keep this gold to reward the brothers!"

"You are so righteous," Xiang Yan looked at him with appreciation, "Liang'er, you escort the gentleman away. Remember, don't let others see."

"Here, Father!"

Xiang Yan had three sons, the eldest son Xiang Chao, the second son Xiang Liang, and the third son Xiang Bo. The eldest son Xiang Chao had died, leaving behind a son Xiang Ji, nicknamed Shao Yu; the second son Xiang Liang went with the army; the third son Xiang Bo stayed at home to take care of the family. After receiving his father's order, Xiang Liang, who was a little bloated and had a fine beard like a steel needle under his chin, immediately sent the messenger away in person. "Father, whose messenger is this person?"

After seeing the envoy off, Xiang Liang returned to his father Xiang Yan's tent and asked in confusion.

Xiang Yan was excited and said in a deep voice: "That person has the noblest blood of the Chu people flowing in his body, but he has never lived on the land of Chu. For decades, he has regarded the enemy as his father, but he has never forgotten where his roots are!"

Swish!
Xiang Liang was at a loss when he heard his father Xiang Yan's words. He really couldn't think of anyone who fits his father Xiang Yan's description. After a while, a light of disbelief burst in Xiang Liang's eyes, his eyes widened, and his cheeks were full of horror.

"Yes, it's him!" Seeing his son's reaction, Xiang Yan nodded and confirmed Xiang Liang's guess, "Lord Changping!"

"The bloodline of our former king of Chu, King Kaolie of Chu, was left behind when he was held hostage in Qin. Now, Lord Changping is guarding the rear of Wang Jian's army and transporting food and military supplies for them. Once Lord Changping strikes back, our Chu army will attack from both sides and will surely defeat the Qin army!"

After hearing what his father said, even though Xiang Liang knew that all this had not yet been realized, he was still overwhelmed with emotion.

…………

Nanjun, Yingcheng.

"Your Majesty, all five thousand soldiers and horses of Jiangling have rebelled."

"Your Majesty, the 100,000 dan of grain shipped from Nanyang County has been sealed."

"Your Majesty, the flag of Chu is ready. As long as you give the order, Nanjun will return to the embrace of Chu!"

……

Yingcheng was once the capital of the State of Chu, also known as Yingdu.

After Qin general Bai Qi captured Yingcheng, he not only set fire to the above-ground part of the tombs of the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom, but also set fire to the Chu Palace. Afterwards, the governors of Nanjun County in successive generations did not dare to repair the old site of the Chu Palace in order to avoid suspicion. After decades of time, the once magnificent and majestic Chu Palace was exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain, and almost completely collapsed, with most of it reduced to ruins.

Today, the sunset has just disappeared in the western sky.

Officials and wise men from Nanjun came to the dilapidated palace. In a side hall that was barely habitable, Lord Changping Xiong Qi and his younger brother Lord Changwen were already waiting. Although he was in a dilapidated place, Lord Changping had an awe-inspiring demeanor that made everyone feel afraid to look directly at him.

Some older people who had once been in the court of the State of Chu recalled the kings of Chu throughout history.

One by one, each person came out and reported to Changping Jun, the leader, on the completion of the tasks they were responsible for.

"Everyone, whether the Chu State can be revived depends entirely on this battle!"

By the time everyone had finished reporting, the sky had completely darkened, forcing the guards inside and outside the side hall to light torches to dispel the darkness. Changping Jun looked solemn, and spoke word by word, staking his everything on the table.
