Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 158
Chu State, Jiangdong.

The fief of the Xiang family, the top aristocrat of Chu State, is here.

Even if you don't talk about fiefdoms, there are many descendants of the Xiang family on those lands that are set up as counties and counties and directly belong to the Chu royal family.

In the land of Jiangdong, Xiong Xiang's co-governance is almost a consensus from the nobles to the common people.

Especially after the Chu State suffered successive defeats and even lost Yingdu, the Xiang clan located in the east of Chu State did not suffer any losses, and this trend became more and more obvious.

However, the Xiang family did not take advantage of their superior position to enter the center of the Chu state, but continued to stay quietly in Jiangdong.

The whole state of Chu was arguing about the reform, but Xiang still didn't say a word.

If it was decades, or hundreds of years ago, everyone would have believed that Mrs. Xiang must be a hardcore reformist.

But people's hearts are fickle, and now no one knows which side they are leaning towards.

Exquisite palaces, magnificent and continuous buildings, magnificent and prosperous, beautiful maids walk through it, and the plates are all kinds of delicacies, a scene of wealth and magnificence.

In the palace room, light smoke curled up, and the two sat facing each other.

Xiang Zeng said with joy on his face: "Father, Prince Zai is indeed unparalleled in bravery, fought several battles, rushed to the battle to capture the flag, and did not give Bai Qi a chance to mobilize a large army, and defeated Bai Qi's offensive many times.

A few days ago, some merchants went to see Jing Cheng with heavy gifts.

It seems that Qin State is going to start slandering and deceiving the Lord again. "

The Xiang family is clear about Qin's insidious methods, but I have to say that they are really easy to use.

Money touches people's hearts, people die for money, birds die for food, most people in the world are short-sighted and greedy, kings who eat meat are contemptible, born in palaces, and cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Hearing this, Xiang Ju immediately smiled and said: "Our family has a deep foundation, there is always a way to win if you try your best, you can go to Luoyi to meet the prince Zai.

The three families of Qu Jingzhao are really stupid. How can they manage Chu State well with them?
It is still up to the Xiang family to conquer the capital of Ying and prosper the state of Chu. "

The last time Chu State went to Luo State, Xiang's absence was unexpected to Luo Zai.

Luo Zai did not expect Xiang Shi to come to the camp this time.

Xiang Zeng saluted respectfully, "Prince, I wish you invincibility and may you be happy and healthy."

With curiosity, Luo Zai said with a smile: "The descendants of King Su will always be illuminated by the sun.

You came here from Chu, do you have any important business? "

Xiang Zeng cut to the chase and said, "Prince, Qin State sent people to bribe Chu State Commander Yin and a group of important ministers with a large sum of money, intending to stir up internal strife in the already anxious Chu State.

This is a common method used by Qin. With Xiang's understanding of the country, even without Qin's instigation, unexpected situations may occur at any time.

Now that Qin State has invested a lot of money, chaos in Chu State must be doomed.

I am worried about the coalition forces under your command.

Bai Qi is a human slaughter, and there has never been a general as murderous as him before.

I really don't know what would happen if he were to defeat the coalition forces? "

A cold light flashed in Luo Zai's eyes, but he had expected this situation in Chu State, and the coalition forces always had their own ghosts.

For so many years, only the alliance with Qi can be said to be unbreakable.

But that's because the two sides have supported each other since the founding of the country, and the entanglement of blood and interests is too deep.

Luo Zai said in a deep voice: "You came to the camp, of course you didn't come here for these words. The Xiang family of Chu State, who has been in Chu for 700 years but has not forgotten Su Wang, is praised by the ancestors of all dynasties.

You and I are both descendants of King Su, and now we are facing Qiang Qin together, so there is no need to hide it like this. "

King Su.

Xiang Zeng was in a trance for a moment. Although he wanted to overthrow Bang Zhou and make Chu State a new kingdom of destiny, Xiang's belief in King Su was still very firm.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of his firm belief in Su Wang that the Xiang family has been unswervingly assisting the Chu royal family for hundreds of years.

For the Xiang family who lost the blessing of their ancestors, it is really a miracle that the family lineage can maintain a unified will for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zeng put away those hypocrisy and politeness, and said bluntly: "Prince, you are the unparalleled commander and can fight against Bai Qi, so Xiang decided to put all the treasures on you.

Facing the mighty state of Qin, do you want to fight with the blood and lives of brave fighters?

Those are all the descendants of King Su, and are blood relatives of our clan. Presumably, every time you see the casualties of warriors, you will be heartbroken.

Mrs. Xiang is willing to solve your worries and problems. He will draw elites from the fief to lead the way for you.

In return, Mrs. Xiang will provide you with a list of those Chu nobles who have received bribes from Qin and may hold you back in the subsequent war.

If you want, you can get rid of them when you are fighting against Qin, and removing these unstable factors will also improve your coalition strength. "

Luo Zai didn't expect that Xiang Zeng's idea was to attack a powerful country if there was a crisis in the country.

Hundreds of years ago, Qi Guoqing's office used this method when it wanted to seize the power of the country. In the end, Qi Guogong's anti-killing Qing family with the help of Yi Gong still used this method.

The Xiang family did it more covertly, using the hands of Luo Zai to complete this matter, and the Xiang family also wanted to let his children enter the army.

This is not only to express the attitude of living and dying with the Luo family, but also to gild one's own children.

Once the war against Baiqi is won, Xiang will gain a lot of military merit.

According to the customs of Chu State, more land can be obtained, and the power and strength in Xiang's hands will expand more and more.

Xiang Zeng said again: "Prince.

Looking at the situation of Chu State these years, Mrs. Xiang often cried unceasingly. Presumably Mrs. Luo was in the same state of mind when she helped the Zhou family in the past.

The Xiang family sat and watched Qin State capture Yingdu, which was the capital of Chu State for nearly a thousand years, and his father was heartbroken every time he talked about it.

The Xiang family wished to take back the capital city of Ying immediately, but the timing was not ripe, and if they acted rashly, they could only fall into the vortex of political struggle again.

After much deliberation, he finally decided on this strategy. First, wipe out their elites abroad, and then Mrs. Xiang is going to directly sue the king for accepting bribes and intending to betray the country.

Given Xiang's relationship and political reputation in the Chu state, the king will definitely obey in the face of irrefutable evidence.

At that time, just like arrows shooting at the king's corpse in the past, those nobles can be killed or demoted, and then their fiefdoms will be deprived.

The Chu State reforms again, and it will definitely become stronger, and it will be able to contain more energy of the Qin State.

The only disadvantage of this method is that once it is out of control, the national strength of Chu State will be greatly damaged.

Now that the state of Qin has become so tyrannical, at this time, its vitality is seriously injured, and the family is worried that the state of Chu will not be able to survive the moment when the reform is successful.

So there has been no hands.

Until meeting a unparalleled commander like you, the time is finally ripe.

As long as you can defeat Qin State and prevent Qin State from going east, Chu State will have a chance to breathe.

And you can control every inch of land on the battlefield, perfect to achieve the plan to destroy their army.

Only with your help can Xiang's goal be achieved.

Please also lend a helping hand, this is a request from the Luo family who branched out 700 years ago.

I really want to hear the people of Chu sing again in Yingdu, the spirit of King Su is in the sky, and his glory and reputation will last for thousands of years. "

After Chu's reforms restored its strength, the first thing to do was to regain Yingdu, so it would definitely confront Qin, which also relieved the pressure on the Zhou family.

There is no need for Luo Guo to take action. In fact, Luo Zai doesn't know how long he can live. There is always a haze in his heart that cannot be shaken off.

Luo Zai said with emotion: "Your request is so reasonable, can I refuse?

Can you tell me that the Xiang family was not in the Luo Kingdom, but they were able to maintain this passion for 700 years. How did your ancestors do it? "

Regarding Luo Zai's question, Xiang Zeng was also a little confused, and said uncertainly: "It seems that he was born this way, and his family taught him this way since he was a child. After Bang Zhou's destiny came to fruition, he should fight for the destiny for Chu."

Xiang Zeng did not shy away from the fact that Bang Zhou's destiny was about to come to fruition, because it was something that everyone could see, but no one knew exactly when.

Everyone was probing, and finally Qin Wangdang and Han Wangbo used their lives to tell the world that it was not the right time yet.

The Luo family and the Xiang family made a plan in this way, and sat and watched the Chu army become chaotic, giving Bai Qi the illusion that the alienation plan was successful.

Then the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the real Chu army suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It must have been a devastating scene.

　I really love Chu
