I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

Huang Jizhong said in a deep voice, "Go and bring the person here!"

The Chu soldiers who came to report left the main tent and rushed out.

It's quite a distance from outside the main camp to here.

Inside the Chu army's main tent, the generals gathered together. Some of the Chu generals were distracted, pondering how they could win without Xiang Yu present.

The Nationalist army in Hengshan was not in a hurry. The country had already made a decision: if they were at a disadvantage on the battlefield, they would simply surrender on the spot and submit to the royal army.

Only the generals of the Linjiang army became somewhat restless after hearing the urgent report from Linjiang.

"What could possibly happen to Linjiang Kingdom?"

"Weren't the local nobles all rewarded and made the vanguard of the anti-Qin movement?"

Yu Ziqi asked curiously.

The Linjiang Kingdom was established on the foundation of the Qin State's Nanjun Commandery, and it was also the origin and base of the Chu army.

It can be said that the local Chu culture is already deeply rooted.

The aristocratic fiefdom system of the Chu state was prevalent throughout the southern region.

The royal family of Chu in the past was powerless against these elephants that were rooted in the local area, and could only watch them do whatever they wanted.

After Qin conquered Nanjun, it established Qin law, which seriously affected the rights and status of these people.

From that time onward, the resistance of these nobles never ceased.

It can be said that Nanjun was one of the first territories conquered by Qin among the six states, but it was also one of the few counties that was not integrated into the Qin system at all!

The nobles of Nanjun resisted the Qin state for over a century.

Even during the time when the First Emperor established a powerful and enduring empire, large-scale rebellions were rare throughout the land. Even in the vassal states that had just been conquered by the Qin army, large-scale uprisings were uncommon.

Only in Nanjun did rebellions involving tens of thousands of people frequently occur!

Located in the lower reaches of the Han River, this area is crisscrossed by waterways and rivers, and is filled with swamps and forests. In addition, the local feudal system has long been deeply ingrained in the local people.

The common people were almost like the private citizens, and even more loyal.

Their basic needs—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—have been tied to the nobility above them since childhood, making them highly dependent on each other.

The Qin army was unable to suppress the rebellion on a large scale!

After the world fell into chaos, although the nobles of Nanjun did not directly send troops, they provided a large amount of supplies to the righteous armies across the land!

The current ruler of Linjiang, Gong Ao, was originally a nobleman of the Chu state. After establishing Linjiang, he maintained excellent relations with other nobles and jointly divided the entire Linjiang state among themselves.

Yu Ziqi had no idea what might happen in Linjiang Kingdom.

It can't be that all the nobles of Linjiang have become dissatisfied with Chu, openly betrayed it, and sided with the Qin traitors.

That would truly be despairing.

This is the birthplace of the State of Chu!

Huang Jizhong also looked completely bewildered.

Everything is fine in China!

Naturally, I didn't know how to answer.

After waiting for a while, the soldiers of Linjiang Kingdom arrived. Upon seeing so many people present, their expressions changed slightly, and they immediately knelt down, gritting their teeth.

"Meet the general!"

Huang Jizhong waved his hand and said urgently, "These are all civil and military officials of the Great Chu, righteous men of the world. Speak your mind!"

"Your Majesty, the Qin army has already reached the walls of the capital and is in imminent danger. General, please lead the army back to our aid immediately!"

"How can this be!"

Huang Jizhong stood up in disbelief, his face contorted in shock, his entire body surging with horror!

"The allied forces are attacking Nanyang, but the main Qin army is at Wuguan and hasn't shown up yet. Where did they fly from to attack Nanjun?"

Even more anxious was Yu Ziqi, who spoke first, his eyes burning with anger and his face flushed red!

"Yes, Nanjun is full of water. How could the Qin army have silently marched all the way to Jiangling?"

"The Southern Commandery is filled with staunch warriors of the Great Chu and anti-Qin fighters!"

Huang Jizhong then spoke.

They are leading their troops abroad, fighting bloody battles for their country.

As a result, they were told that their home had been burgled!

Huang Jizhong is even more anxious now!

Something is so wrong.

If the Qin army were to march on Jiangling, there would still be soldiers from the Linjiang Kingdom in the north, as well as a large number of Chu noble fiefdoms!

Are all these people fake?

Even if they couldn't stop it, there should have been a complete lack of news by now!

The soldier who brought the news wept bitterly: "The Qin army first broke through Yiling and then attacked!"

"Yiling was a large city, but it was mostly inhabited by local Yi people. The Qin army came down the river and launched a surprise attack, capturing Yiling in just one day."

"When news of the fall of Yiling reached Jiangling, the Qin army had already appeared outside the city!"

"The King commands the General to lead the entire army back to reinforce immediately!"

Everyone's faces turned ashen.

Go down the river.

"Could it be that this Qin army marched south from Shu?"

The guess of Chu general Xiao Dong sent chills down everyone's spines.

Most people's impression of Sichuan and Chongqing is that of a poor, barren land with harsh mountains and rivers.

While the Qin army was fighting against the feudal lords of the world, it was still able to gather an army in Bashu and march south to attack the Linjiang Kingdom.

That's the scariest part.

"That's impossible! Where did the Qin people get their troops and supplies?"

Yu Ziqi roared!

The fact that the Qin people fought bloody battles across the land and still haven't run out of supplies is absurd enough.

But how could they build up an army in Shu, cross the vast mountains, and march to Jiangling?

Everyone stared blankly.

Although it's hard to believe, I know it's possible.

This is not the first time this has happened.

The Qin state had done this several times.

They sailed down the river and launched a surprise attack on the State of Chu.

Bai Qi even flooded the capital of Chu!

"How many soldiers did the Qin army have? Who was their general? And..."

Yu Ziqi asked in extreme anger.

This soldier was a trusted confidant of the Prince of Linjiang and was quite capable. While he wasn't exactly fluent in conversation, he was able to speak clearly despite the immense pressure from the many generals.

In the end, everyone fell silent.

"Thirty thousand soldiers in armor, fierce in bearing, and able to maintain their formation—could they be the elite of the Qin army?"

"The Qin army's banners are flying the banners of the Zhen Chu army?"

"They have many large ships and have also seized supplies from Yiling. The Qin army is not short of supplies now..."

This is all bad news!

This means that the Qin army was likely not just a hastily assembled force!

Unbeknownst to them, they secretly formed a 30,000-strong Zhenchu ​​Army and even trained them for a period of time!

And now we have no shortage of supplies.

Yiling was an extremely important warehouse city in the north of Jiangling. The Linjiang Kingdom controlled the area around Yiling. Many supplies were transported to Yiling and then sent down the river to Jiangling!

This Qin army can be said to have supplies, manpower, and organization!

This felt as if everyone's hearts had been plunged into an abyss in an instant!

It's so painful!

They are having a very difficult time dealing with the Qin and Han troops here.

Besides, they were a regular, organized force!

All eyes turned to Huang Jizhong.

At this crucial moment, what choice should Huang Jizhong make?

Qin army's route to attack Jiangling
