In fact, his guess was correct. The Nanchu army retreated thirty miles and set up camp.
In the entire camp, not many soldiers knew that Prince Mu had been shot dead.
Xie Daoxun summoned all the generals and came to the central military tent.
Prince Mu's body was placed in the center of the tent.
Every general had an extremely ugly look on his face.
Even the look he gave Xie Daoxun was filled with murderous anger.
Xie Daoxun, however, remained unmoved.
All of Prince Mu's personal soldiers were called in.
Then, she said in a deep voice: "Generals, these people are all the personal soldiers of His Royal Highness. They all witnessed His Royal Highness's death with their own eyes."
All the guards knelt on the ground, and one of the brave guards hurriedly said:
"My dear generals, I have seen it with my own eyes. These two spears were shot from the top of the earthen city!"
"The first spear hit the flag, and then the Prime Minister immediately told us to retreat!"
"But before we could withdraw, the second spear came again!"
"Your Highness didn't have time to dodge..."
"At once……"
"An unexpected event occurred!"
One of the generals said angrily, "How is this possible!"
"The distance between the top of the earthen city and the central army is at least 1,700 steps!"
"Who can throw a spear so far?"
"That's impossible!"
Xie Daoxun said in a deep voice: "But this is reality!"
"Also, generals, you can take a closer look!"
"It was not a gun that killed His Royal Highness, but an arrow!"
"arrow?"
After hearing what Xie Daoxun said, everyone looked towards the two arrows.
After taking a closer look, I realized that this did not seem to be a gun.
Although they are the same size as a gun, they are indeed two arrows.
Because there are feathers at the back and an arrow cluster at the front.
It's definitely not a gun!
One of the generals took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed an arrow, but what kind of bow is needed to shoot such an arrow?"
Xie Daoxun sighed, she knew what was going on.
Because today, on the city wall of Tucheng, she saw Zhao Hao's figure.
Although the distance is too far, it is not very clear.
However, once this incredible weapon appeared, she could be sure that the person standing on the top of the city was Zhao Hao.
Because apart from Zhao Hao, who else in this world can develop such an incredible battlefield killing weapon?
However, there was no need for her to say such things in front of these people.
What she wanted was to continue the attack and not let these people retreat because of Prince Mu's death.
Thinking of this, she said: "Now, the most important thing is not to think about this!"
"What we need to think about is how to avenge His Royal Highness Prince Mu!"
"This is a life-and-death feud!"
"Once the news of His Royal Highness's death reaches Nanchu, what will happen to you all? You might as well think about it carefully!"
"If you can avenge His Royal Highness, you will have an explanation!"
My fellow generals, you look at me and I look at you.
They all nodded slightly.
That's true.
Southern Chu, called the Southern Barbarians, is also considered one of the countries in the Central Plains.
I have long been immersed in the teachings of sages.
However, it is very different from the Wu, Shu, Dagan, and Yue states.
Take war as an example.
For other countries, if a general was defeated, he could still analyze the situation based on objective circumstances.
Rewards and punishments are determined based on the size of the responsibility, and the extent of the crime is judged.
But Nanchu is different.
As long as you lose a battle, you must be punished.
Being whipped and imprisoned are light punishments.
What's worse, they will be subjected to severe punishment or even executed directly.
This is a tradition passed down in Nanchu since ancient times.
Therefore, Xie Daoxun's words had a profound impact on these generals.
Xie Daoxun glanced calmly at one of the generals.
The other party nodded slightly, then walked out and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right!"
"If we return to our country like this, we will inevitably be severely punished!"
"Besides, His Royal Highness died, but we have not avenged our blood feud. How can we face His Majesty and the people of our country?"
"Listen to the Prime Minister and avenge Prince Mu!"
With one person saying this, all the other generals were also excited.
"Yes, revenge for His Royal Highness!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
At this moment, one of the generals who had remained silent all this time looked at Xie Daoxun.
"Mr. Prime Minister, it is our duty to avenge His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"But now it is August or September, and the weather is hot. It may not be appropriate to leave the body of His Royal Highness the Prince in the camp..."
Xie Daoxun nodded after hearing this and said, "Well said!"
"Therefore, we must not delay any longer and must attack with all our strength to capture Tucheng in one fell swoop!"
"Use this to comfort His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Everyone nodded.
Xie Daoxun continued, "First, use ice to calm the body of His Royal Highness."
"Generals, go back and organize your troops. Tell all the soldiers directly about the death of His Royal Highness the Prince. Do not hide anything!"
"Inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit!"
"Take down Tucheng in one fell swoop!"
Everyone responded in unison, then, after paying their respects to Prince Mu's body, they turned and left the tent.
