“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

take revenge! Wipe away the shame of our country!

The earth-shaking war drums sounded.

Looking down from the sky, the 80000 Chu soldiers were charging towards the inner city wall like a tide.

Everyone’s face was fanatical, and their hearts were filled with anger.

This period of time had been too stifling for them.

They had clearly won the battle in Tianxi province, but they were not satisfied at all and retreated instead.

Their late King had been murdered, and after the investigation, it turned out that it was the late King’s Seventh Son, Chu Qi, who had murdered him.

Most of the soldiers did not know the truth, but they instinctively knew that it was not the truth.

It was a disgrace.

Everyone felt a great sense of shame.

Could they blame the new king?

It can’t!

These 200,000 soldiers loved this new king from the bottom of their hearts. From the beginning to the end, his performance was perfect. He was brave, fearless, wise, and filial.

However, they had to pour out this Qi, or they would go crazy.

In that case, they would pour it out from the Army of Ning Zheng and Shen lang.

They did not use trebuchets.

It was because it was too slow to wait for the trebuchets. Furthermore, this was their own city. Every house in the inner city was exquisite and beautiful. Using the trebuchets would not kill many enemies. Instead, it would be smashing their own city into pieces.

He directly charged and climbed up the siege ladder.

We don’t believe that 200000 of us can’t take down your 9000-man army.

The mourning Army would win.

..................

Shen lang stood on top of the wall under the protection of Mulan and Li qianqiu.

The Chu army was too crazy, and their morale was too shocking.

If they went all out in this battle, it would be dangerous.

However, he had to fight.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

Below the city wall, the sound was deafening.

The earth trembled.

Four hundred meters away.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters!

“Ready!”

“Fire!”

Following the command, the archers on each wall began to fire wildly again.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

There were more than seven thousand archers, all of whom were sharpshooters.

A strong bow of two piculs and a strong bow of one and a half piculs.

These arrows once again displayed astonishing power.

It fell like a Metal Storm.

That familiar scene appeared once again.

He was harvesting lives like crazy!

It was true that this Chu army was an elite and much braver than the previous Chu armies.

However, the rain of arrows would not miss you just because you were too brave.

Within a distance of two hundred meters, the arrows of the second Nirvana Army were invincible.

Within 150 meters, the arrows of the sharpshooters of the sand primitive tribe were invincible.

This was because it was impossible for such a large Army to be fully equipped with iron armor. At best, they would only be equipped with leather armor.

However, the leather armor could not block the arrows from Shen Lang’s Army.

The Chu army that attacked the city died in droves.

This scene was really like wheat under hailstones.

There were countless casualties.

However, countless Chu soldiers continued to charge forward.

..................

The new king Chu was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

In the battle reports, he had seen more than once that Shen Lang’s Army had amazing shooting skills.

But when he saw it for himself, he was still completely shocked.

Shen Lang’s archers were the dream army.

It actually shot so far and so accurately?

Such an Army was not very effective in sieging a city, but they were almost invincible in defending it.

It was a one-sided massacre when they shot from above.

Grand Preceptor li xuanqi’s heart was bleeding.

He knew in his heart that he had to fight this battle.

However, the Emperor was still inclined to negotiate with Shen lang.

This was a battle of will, and it had nothing to do with benefits.

Everyone knew that Ning Zheng and Shen lang had no intention of occupying the Chu royal capital. They also wanted to return to Yue country as soon as possible.

But even if he did return, he would still have to obtain a huge victory and glory.

He also wanted to force King Chu to bow his head, and even more so, he wanted to suppress ning Qi in terms of momentum.

This opening was already so tragic.

Your Majesty! Grand Preceptor li xuanqi said in a trembling voice.

King Chu raised his hand and stopped li xuanqi from speaking.

Some casualties were a must.

Although the casualties were shocking, they could not retreat.

If they were to call off the troops at this time, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Chu army.

The most important thing in an Army was its morale, not the number of soldiers.

The new king Chu looked at Shen lang who was on the city wall. Then, he suddenly mounted his horse and charged towards the city wall.

“Wash away the shame of our country, take revenge!”

“Take revenge!”

The Chu country’s attacking Army instantly went crazy.

The king actually charged up again?

protect the king! Protect the king!

It wasn’t just Grand Preceptor li xuanqi. The remaining dozens of generals also charged forward.

Nothing must happen to His Majesty.

We’ve lost a former king, but we’ve gained a brave and wise new king.

If this King were to die in battle, Chu country would be finished.

At any other time, the new king Chu would not personally charge into the battlefield.

This was because he already had enough reputation and didn’t need it at all.

However, he had a tacit understanding with Shen lang and knew that Shen lang would not kill him.

As expected!

Jin Mulan, who was the best at archery, shot an arrow at King Chu, but it was mostly for show.

The scene was extremely shocking!

Each of Mulan’s arrows could kill three to four Chu Warriors.

It even sent people and their shields flying.

But every time she shot an arrow at Lord Chu, it would be blocked by him.

It made him look even more powerful.

The King of Chu’s warhorse galloped across the battlefield, raising the morale of the soldiers.

At this moment, the soldiers of Chu felt their scalps go numb and their whole bodies were about to explode.

The subject would die if the master was humiliated!

Are we really that useless?

He actually wants His Majesty to risk his life on the battlefield?

What face do we still have?

Countless Chu soldiers attacked the city in a frenzy.

He completely ignored the rain of arrows.

Worst comes to worst, I’ll die, worst comes to worst, I’ll die!

Just like this!

The Army of Chu State was facing a huge number of casualties, but they still managed to rush to the bottom of the city wall and climbed up the siege ladder with all their might.

They were about to attack the city wall!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The archers under Shen Lang’s command unleashed their shooting skills to the maximum.

He fired arrows in a frenzy.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Within a distance of a dozen meters, it could really be said to be 100% accurate.

Even more tragic casualties appeared!

There was no longer any dirt on the ground, as it was covered in corpses.

How many casualties did the Chu army suffer?

He didn’t know!

Shen Lang’s archers were too powerful.

Even though there were more and more Chu soldiers on the city wall.

However, Youyou’s attack was still frantically suppressed.

“Heavy-armored soldiers, heavy-armored soldiers, go!”

“Imperial Guards, follow me!”

The crown prince’s Grand Preceptor, li xuanqi, personally led the most elite guards and charged up.

The hundreds and thousands of people with the strongest martial arts rushed to the front. They wore strong iron armor and used their swords to block the arrows.

“Shield, shield!”

This group of elite warriors held extremely heavy shields in their hands and charged up bit by bit.

“Ka-Chak, ka-Chak!”

The siege ladder could not bear such weight and broke directly.

The Warriors on top of the formation came crashing down, crushing a large number of Chu soldiers.

However, this group of people still rushed up madly.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

take revenge! Wipe away the shame of our country!

Just like that, Chu’s most elite Imperial Guards led the charge and led the most elite troops. They blocked the shocking rain of arrows from Shen Lang’s Army and charged up the city wall.

And then!

It would be a bloody hand-to-hand battle!

“Kill, kill, kill bi an!”

“Cut it in two!”

The first Nirvana Army would fight against the elite guards of Chu.

It was like the collision of two steel armies.

Grand Preceptor li xuanqi versus Sword King Li qianqiu.

Countless experts of the Chu country charged towards Shen lang and Ning Zheng like moths to a flame.

The King of Chu did not want to kill Ning Zheng, but these Chu experts wanted to tear Shen lang and Ning Zheng into pieces.

However, Yingluo

Shen lang was protected by dumb and Jin Mulan.

Mulan was invincible in both long range and close combat.

The stunning scimitar in her hand was also not a match for her.

His speed was too fast, and every move was as fast as lightning.

It could easily be ejected nearly ten meters away.

And dumb!

He was even more invincible!

He was fighting against tu da and tu er alone!

To be honest, tu da and tu er thought that da Sha was a good friend and wanted to say hello before the battle.

Two years ago, they even invited dumb to go to the toilet with them. This was already a very deep friendship. They usually wouldn’t invite others to the toilet. Just like when you were in school, only your closest classmates would go to the toilet together, right?

However, the atmosphere was too solemn and murderous. They didn’t dare to greet him and directly attacked.

In the battle two years ago, the two brothers had the upper hand at first, but after a few hundred moves, they lost to dumb in endurance.

But now, dumb had become so awesome.

Even though he was fighting one against two, he was not at a disadvantage at all.

After two or three hundred moves, tu da and tu er were at a disadvantage.

After five hundred moves!

Dumb suppressed the two brothers.

“Bang, bang Bang Bang Bang!”

Two loud bangs!

The two giants, tu da and tu er, were thrown out by foolish like cannonballs.

He was sent flying from the top of the city wall, and after falling for ten meters, he crashed onto the ground.

Fortunately, the ground was filled with corpses.

When the two brothers crashed down, the corpses below immediately turned into mud.

The two brothers also spat out a mouthful of blood.

Dumb showed mercy and didn’t kill them.

..................

Li xuanqi and Li qianqiu’s martial arts were on par.

However, Sword King Xuanji li qianqiu still had a slight advantage.

After thousands of moves, the Chu Grand Preceptor li xuanqi started to lose.

It was the same!

The elite Imperial Guards of Chu State who had rushed up were also gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

The first Nirvana Army was too strong!

The armor on their bodies was invincible and indestructible.

The sabers in their hands were invincible.

Their fighting will and combat power were even stronger.

In the face of such an invincible first Nirvana Army, the most elite Imperial Guards of Chu could hold on for less than half an hour before the situation gradually collapsed.

Li xuanqi couldn’t help but look back at King Chu.

This was very dangerous!

When top experts exchanged blows, there could not be the slightest mistake.

However, when he turned around, the sword King Li qianqiu stopped his attack and didn’t take the opportunity to kill him.

The reason why li xuanqi turned around was simple.

Your Majesty, it’s time to call off the troops!

A moment later!

King Chu gave the order,”sound the Golden Bell and withdraw the troops, sound the Golden Bell and withdraw the troops!”

The flute sounded.

Li xuanqi led the elite guards to retreat!

..............................

Today’s battle had only lasted six hours from beginning to end!

It ended in the afternoon.

Below and on the city walls, there were countless corpses!

The casualties were unprecedented.

The battle was tragic and brutal, not as intense as the battle of West Town.

However, the number of casualties per unit of time far exceeded that of the battle of the Western Garrison city!

“Have the casualties been reported?” The new king Chu asked.

“About 30000!” Li Xuan asked curiously.

The new king Chu gritted his teeth so hard that they bled.

Nearly 30,000 casualties?

In just half a day’s time, they had actually suffered such heavy casualties.

Each soldier was extremely precious, and they had lost 30000 in a short time.

The key was that in terms of benefits, there was no need to fight this battle.

“Your Majesty, are we still going to continue fighting tomorrow?” Li xuanqi asked.

The new king Chu was also having a headache.

That’s right, do we still have to fight?

How should he maintain this balance?

How could he win his reputation, end the battle, and still let Ning Zheng return alive to fight for the Crown Prince position with ning Qi?

It was too difficult!

if we attack the city at all costs, can we destroy Shen Lang’s entire Army? ” The new king Chu asked.

“Yes, I can!” because they have a limited number of arrows, ” li xuanqi said. this is Chu, after all.

That’s right, this was the logic.

However, Your Majesty, if we really want to kill Shen Lang’s Army, our casualties will be very high. “His Army is too strong,” li xuanqi said. Shen lang is right, it is most beneficial for us if Ning Zheng inherits the position of Prince Yue.”

Lord Chu poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

“How’s the morale?”

“Our Army is still as imposing as ever,” li xuanqi said,”and our killing intent is even stronger. Furthermore, there are countless Rangers and young men in the capital who want to join our army. Countless people have sent food over, and they all want to participate in this battle to avenge their humiliation.”

King Chu said,”Grand Preceptor, look at the situation. Can I stop the war?” Do I dare to stop the war?”

That’s right, the entire capital of the Chu Kingdom was united.

The King of Chu must not disappoint the soldiers and the people.

we will continue to attack the city tomorrow. Since Shen lang proposed a truce, he must have a way to get the best of both worlds. We will just focus on attacking the city.

“If he can’t do anything, then he will bleed to the last drop of his blood. At this moment, I must not let down the people of Chu State and disappoint the soldiers.”

........................

The next day!

Lord Chu gave the order to attack the city again.

A brutal battle erupted once again!

Today’s casualties were slightly less than yesterday’s, but there were still close to 20000 casualties.

But there was also good news.

One army after another rushed to the capital to participate in this battle to avenge their humiliation.

The Chu country’s unity of will was like an impregnable fortress, and their loyalty was unquestionable.

What the hell, what should I do?

Lord Chu felt extremely gratified, but his heart was burning with anxiety.

It was also at this moment!

An unforeseen event had happened!

In the capital of Chu State, a plague broke out in the Army of Chu State.

And it was getting more and more serious, more and more terrifying.

There were more and more soldiers and civilians falling sick every day.

It was already June, the hottest time of the year. Because the battlefield was too intense, there were too many corpses, and there was too much feces, plagues were the most likely to happen.

The plague was too violent, and the battle could not continue.

Hence, King Chu and Ning Zheng discussed in the air and decided to temporarily stop the war!

..............................

After the ceasefire, the King of Chu devoted all his efforts to the battle against the plague. He did not rest or sleep every day as he directed the people to fight against the plague.

He even entered the quarantine rooms where the infected were and visited the infected soldiers many times. He promised that he would do his best to treat them and would never give up on anyone.

Countless commoners and soldiers shed tears of gratitude and wailed, wishing they could immediately die for the king.

The heavens have eyes. We have lost a late King, but a wise new King has come.

Under King Chu’s command, the plague was slightly under control.

However,

At this moment, Lord Chu collapsed. He suddenly had a high fever, vomited and had diarrhea, and abscesses grew on his body.

All of a sudden, the soldiers and citizens of Chu State were so scared that their livers and livers were about to split.

Please don’t.

I beg you, please protect our King.

We’ve just lost our previous King. We can’t lose our new king.

Joss sticks were lit in the homes of the people in the capital.

Countless people knelt down and kowtowed, begging the heavens to not take their King away.

However,

The new king Chu’s plague was getting more and more serious. He was already on the verge of death and his life was in danger.

He was about to die!

They had found countless doctors, but none of them could cure it.

Moreover, it was too late to go to the sky-Sea Pavilion to find the best medical scholar.

Lord Chu could pass away at any moment.

Once the new king passed away, it would truly be an earth-shattering disaster, and it would be a disaster for the entire Chu country.

The officials of Chu suddenly remembered that Shen lang was a miracle doctor.

But he was an enemy.

He had burned down the mortal enemy of the Chu Royal Palace.

However, no matter how great the hatred was, could it be more important than the new King’s life?

Finally, the ministers of Chu made their decision.

They begged Shen lang to save them.

Li xuanqi, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, personally entered the inner city and asked Shen lang to save King Chu.

Shen lang walked out of the inner city and started to treat King Chu.

This treatment was extremely dangerous.

Lord Chu had fainted several times and his entire body was festering.

In fact, he was almost dead.

The fever was so high that it was unbearable for ordinary people.

After a day and a night of treatment.

Lord Chu’s body temperature dropped.

His vital signs gradually stabilized.

At this moment, the ministers were so happy that they cried.

Finally, the sky did not fall.

After another day, Lord Chu’s fever completely subsided and his life was saved.

Shen lang was indeed a godly doctor. Previously, he cured Zhang san’s chronic intestinal ulcer, and today, he cured King Chu’s serious disease.

Then, Shen lang did not make any requests. He left and returned to the inner city!

Even though Lord Chu had been rescued, he was still extremely weak and could not do anything.

Furthermore, the plague in the Chu royal capital had become even more intense.

At this moment, Shen lang appeared again.

He had also sent a plague prevention manual to the ministers of Chu State.

He even gave the prescription!

Not only that, after obtaining the approval of King Chu and the ministers ...

Over 100 military doctors under Shen lang were wrapped up tightly. They walked out of the inner city and started to treat the Chu soldiers and civilians who were infected with the plague.

He was indeed a genius.

The most important thing about a plague was isolation and defense, not treatment.

His epidemic prevention manual was almost perfect.

Especially the isolation method, the raw lime disinfection method, and the boiling water disinfection method, the plague was almost immediately controlled and did not spread any further.

Furthermore, Shen lang was indeed a godly doctor. Although there were many casualties among the soldiers and civilians who were infected by the plague, according to his prescription, many people’s lives were saved.

So, a strange scene happened.

The Chu and Yue armies, which were fighting each other to the death, had actually United and started to fight against the plague together.

Many conspiracy theorists said that Shen lang was the one who created the plague.

This was ridiculous. In order to treat the Chu country’s soldiers and civilians, the troops under Shen lang were initially fine. However, they were infected by the plague later on and suffered casualties.

After a full 20 days of resistance.

The Chu and Yue armies had finally suppressed the plague!

However, they really couldn’t fight a war.

28th of June!

The King of Chu was officially negotiating with Ning Zheng.

..............................

King Chu, who had lost a lot of weight, looked at Shen lang with a complicated expression.

The plague was a huge one, and at its peak, the number of infected exceeded 80000.

In the end, about three thousand people died.

It was a terrifying number, but it was a small number compared to the casualties on the battlefield.

The ceasefire became a matter of course.

Even the hatred between the two armies gradually disappeared in this plague war.

Shen lang, you burned my Palace. You have to pay for it. Lord Chu said,”also, don’t talk about goods that are worth two million gold coins.” Who knows the cost of your goods?”

Shen lang said,”Your Majesty, it is impossible for the Yue country to give this compensation!” Since His Highness Ning Zheng wants to win, he must win thoroughly.”

“I don’t care who’s going to pay the money, but the two million gold coins must be paid in gold. It can be paid over five years,” Lord Chu said.

Shen lang said,”I can let the heavenly Dao Association pay the gold coins, but the Chu country’s market must be opened to the heavenly Dao Association.” I can’t let the heavenly society pay this gold for nothing. They’ll pay two million gold coins in five years, so I want to earn at least three million back.”

Lord Chu stood on high ground, looking at the palace that had been reduced to ruins.

the palace will be built as before, with wood and glazed tiles. I won’t use any of your messy things. “This is the Royal Palace of Chu, we can’t overstep our boundaries,” the King of Chu said.

Shen lang sighed. That was such a pity.

He had wanted to use the Chu Royal Palace as a big advertisement to promote the development of the new construction industry.

however, our Chu state’s market can be opened to the heavenly Dao Association. “I want to buy Steel from you, are you selling it?” Lord Chu asked.

“I’m selling!” Shen lang said, ” Your Majesty, glass, cigarettes, and Jade bricks are all good stuff. Are you sure you don’t want to buy them? ” The royal family of Chu State could do business with the heavenly Dao Association and earn the money of the wealthy and influential people of Chu State. I can guarantee that you’ll become the richest King in the world within a few years.”

King Chu sighed and said,”no one can stop the corruption of the rich.” If the heavenly Dao wants to sell these things, I can’t stop them. However, Huanhuan can forget about having the royal family of Chu endorse her. As for investing in business, that’s even more impossible. I will only collect heavy taxes from her. ”

Shen lang smiled.

There were some things that Lord Chu could not say, but in his heart, he had already decided to bring in the heavenly Dao Association and gradually suppress the yin Yuan Association.

Shen lang laughed,”then I believe that the heavenly Dao will be very happy to pay the gold coins ..”

..............................

The next day!

King Chu announced that he would amend the previous armistice agreement with Yue country and officially sign a new one with Ning Zheng.

First, the Army of Yue State must withdraw from the Chu royal capital unconditionally.

Second, the Chu and Yue countries would completely stop fighting and the border would return to the state it was two years ago.

Three, the heavenly society must pay two million gold coins within five years to help Chu rebuild the Royal Palace.

Fourthly, in order to facilitate the payment of gold coins, the Chu State allowed the heavenly Law Association to set up commercial organizations in the Chu State.

After the armistice agreement was signed!

The people of Chu State fell into silence. They were neither happy nor angry.

This was because the armistice agreement was not considered a victory. After all, Ning Zheng and Shen lang, who burned the palace, were not punished.

The Vietnamese Army was able to retreat safely and not be completely annihilated.

However, should he blame the king?

How was that possible?

The king had already performed very well. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight, but he couldn’t fight anymore.

Such a wise, divine, brave, and fearless King was not allowed to be criticized.

Moreover, the Great Plague had only been controlled, but it had not been completely eradicated.

If another war broke out, and there were casualties again, the plague would likely break out again.

Moreover, from a certain perspective.

Shen lang had burned down the Chu Royal Palace, and he was guilty of a great crime.

However, he had also saved King Chu’s life, so the two could not be considered to have offset each other.

Furthermore, Shen Lang’s contribution could not be overlooked in the control of the plague in the Chu royal capital.

If not for Shen Lang’s help, who knew how far the plague would have spread and how many people would have died?

To a certain extent, Chu country was still indebted to him.

Furthermore, in this battle, the Vietnamese Army was in a very dangerous situation. However, Shen lang did not use the Empress Dowager as a hostage.

Shen Lang’s Army relied on their own abilities to push the Chu army off the city wall.

This Army was really awesome.

He fought the war with his own strength and repelled the Chu army for two days in a row.

He had to admit it.

The strong were always respected.

.................................

Queen Chu, no, she should be the Empress Dowager Chu. She had regained her graceful and luxurious appearance.

At that moment, she was having a meal with Shen lang and Jin Mulan.

He was actually eating steak, a medium-rare steak.

Shen lang liked it a lot, and Mulan liked it too. However, Queen Chu only felt that it was alright.

Why didn’t they eat cooked food? only the wild would drink raw meat.

But it was still a little fresh.

Shen lang swirled the wine glass and drank the red wine in it.

This was a semi-sweet wine. It was not difficult to make a dry red wine as long as the glucose was fermented into alcohol.

Shen lang was very strange. He would get addicted to drinking red wine and would find it delicious. However, if he was suddenly asked if he wanted to drink dry red or sweet, he would say sweet.

“Empress Dowager, this is our last meal today. I hope that these two months of being together have not brought you too much trauma.” Said Shen Lang as he raised his cup towards the Empress Dowager of Chu.

The Empress Dowager of Chu picked up the glass and finished the red wine in one gulp.

She did not say anything.

In fact, she had complicated feelings towards Shen lang.

In the beginning, he was filled with complete hatred, wishing he could skin them alive and grind their bones to dust.

However, she realized that Shen lang would not do anything to her if she did not provoke him.

In fact, after getting along with him for a long time, she could even feel his special charm.

This kind of charm would make men of the same age feel disgusted, or rather, jealous.

But women liked it very much.

When he wasn’t torturing you, he would be a very good friend.

However, it was impossible for the Empress Dowager Chu to turn him from an enemy to a friend, but it was also impossible for her to see him as a life-and-death enemy.

For the benefit of the Chu country, it was no longer appropriate to be enemies with Ning Zheng and Shen lang.

It would be more beneficial for Chu country if Ning Zheng were to take over.

Moreover, she, the Empress Dowager Chu, would have to live in seclusion from now on and completely withdraw from the stage of power.

Although she had survived, she had lost all her dignity.

She was not like the new king Chu, who used his life to protect the dignity of the royal family. She had weakly surrendered and was paraded in public.

“From now on, there won’t be any Empress Dowager. After meeting the Prince, I will become a nun and pray for the late King so that I won’t bring shame to His Majesty and Chu country,” Empress Dowager Chu said.

it’s good to be a monk. It’s good to be a monk, ” Shen lang said.

At this age, there was no loss in becoming a monk.

“Then, I’ll take my leave!”

“We won’t see each other again.”

....................................

The next day!

Ning Zheng and Shen lang led over 7000 troops and left the Chu royal capital.

Lord Chu watched them leave.

All the citizens of Chu State sent them off with cold, admiring, and hostile gazes.

There was complete silence.

King Chu gave the order.

Within the territory of Chu State, no army was allowed to stop the Army of Yue State from leaving.

However, Ning Zheng and Shen lang had to pay three times the price to buy the food and supplies.

Shen lang agreed.

At this point, the war between Chu State and Yue State had finally come to an end!

Shen lang and Ning Zheng won both rounds.

On top of a miracle, he had created another miracle.

And once their victory spread to Yue country, it was destined to completely overshadow the third Prince’s light.

He hoped that the Zhu family, the Zhong family, and other forces would not boast too much about ning Qi’s unparalleled achievements, or they would be completely slapped in the face.

This was because the truce agreement he had signed with King Chu had been abandoned.

It was replaced by a new armistice agreement signed by Ning Zheng. There was no ceding of land, no humiliation, and no loss of power.

This was a truly glorious victory.
