Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

In Chunshenjun's view, since the King of Chu was unwilling to give Chunshenjun the chance to lead the army this time, then there should be nothing wrong with Chunshenjun in this war.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Chun Shenjun did not say a word during this court meeting, in order to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to make the king of Chu feel that this is the time , I have to go and grab the credit with Jingyang and the others.

But Mr. Chunshen never expected that even if he didn't speak, the King of Chu would come to him out of nowhere.

Of course, King Chu’s words must be answered, so Chunshen Jun also bit the bullet and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the failure of Zhao State was not accidental. We will have more victories in the future.”

Mr. Chunshen is not a fool, he actually said that Mr. Chunshen himself is indeed on good terms with Zhao Kuo, but in this situation, both sides have their own masters, so Mr. Chunshen naturally wants to stand on the side of Chu State's interests.

After hearing Chunshenjun's words, King Chu couldn't help laughing, and said something to Chunshenjun with a very strong mocking expression.

"The widow thought that Mr. Chunshen would speak to the State of Zhao. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chunshen also thought that our Chu Kingdom's victory is really rare."

The King of Chu's words were heard in Chunshenjun's ears, and Chunshenjun was taken aback.

Because in Chunshenjun's view, the king of Chu was obviously mocking Chunshenjun, and might even imply that Chunshenjun and Zhao Guoren were secretly colluding.

To be a courtier, the most important thing is of course loyalty. When the king doubts loyalty, then this courtier is likely to come to the end of his life.

So Chun Shenjun hurriedly began to defend: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, there is absolutely no such thing.

Although the veteran did have some personal friendship with Lord Wu Xin, after all, public affairs and private affairs are different. No matter in any matter, the veteran is absolutely loyal to the king and Chu. "

As Chun Shenjun spoke, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Looking at the terrified Chunshen Jun, the King of Chu smiled with satisfaction.

This is the result that is desired.

The King of Chu just wanted to let the other courtiers of the Chu Kingdom present see that even Lord Ling Yin Chunshen, who is under one person in the Chu Kingdom and over ten thousand people, is just an old guy who is manipulated at will in front of the King of Chu!Only in this way can these disobedient courtiers be awed from the bottom of their hearts!The King of Chu took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the other courtiers of the Chu Kingdom in the hall. Sure enough, these courtiers bowed their heads obediently, and no one dared to look at the King of Chu.

The king of Chu was satisfied.

The King of Chu deliberately waited for another moment, and only after Chunshen Jun was completely restless, he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Chunshen, of course I know that you are a loyal minister, but you must remember that Zhao State is now the biggest enemy of our Chu State.

So from now on, you must cut off all contact with Zhao Guo, understand? "

What else can Chun Shenjun say at this time?

Of course he could only nod his head.

King Chu let out a long breath, in a good mood, smiled and waved: "Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go!"

After a while, Chunshen Jun left the hall with a heavy heart.

As far as Jun Shenjun was concerned, he really didn't think clearly why the King of Chu would attack him inexplicably?

At this moment, a voice behind him called Chun Shenjun: "Wait a minute, sir!"

Chun Shenjun stopped, turned his head, and found that it was Li Yuan, the uncle of the country.

Li Yuan came up with a smile, and said to Chunshen Jun, "My throat is a little itchy today. I just saw Junhou, so I want to go to Junhou's place for a glass of wine. I wonder if Junhou can give me face?"

Since Li Yuan was Chunshenjun's retainer back then, the relationship between these two people was quite close, and there was nothing wrong with hearing it from other passing ministers, as long as it was Li Yuan who saw Chunshenjun being reprimanded Then deliberately came up to comfort him.

Even Chun Shenjun himself thought so, so he also showed a grateful expression on his face, and said to Li Yuan: "Li Qing was joking, since Li Qing spoke, how could this old man not invite Li Qing to drink?" How many cups should we serve?

Let's go, and go back home with the old man! "

An hour later, the two sat in Jun Shenjun's mansion, with delicious food and wine in front of them, and drank together.

After all, Mr. Chunshen was old and had lost his capacity for alcohol, so after a few drinks, he became drunk and his speech was a little uncontrollable.

Chun Shenjun put down his wine glass, sighed and said, "Li Qing, why do you think the king suddenly accused the old man today?"

Li Yuan touched his nose, hiccupped, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chunshen, you are the king's teacher. If you don't even know, how can I know?"

Chunshen Jun couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, and after a long while, he sighed again: "If it was the former king, then of course this old man would know about it, but the current king, to tell you the truth, the current old man is really good. I know what he's thinking."

This is also Chunshenjun's helplessness. The reason why Chunshenjun has not been very active in Chu's political arena these years is also related to this reason.

Li Yuan touched his nose and felt that the time might be almost up, so he said a word.

"Actually, Mr. Chunshen, if you want me to say, the king's character recently is indeed a bit too tyrannical, what do you think?"

Jun Shen was stunned for a moment, and said, "Li Qing, what do you mean?"

Li Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, he smiled, and said, "It's nothing interesting, I just feel that the king is really not easy to serve recently."

Only then did Chunshen Jun feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, but there is no other way, who made him the king?

As courtiers, no matter what happens to the king, we can only accept it, can't we? "

After hearing Chun Shenjun's words, a look of disappointment flashed across Li Yuan's eyes.

Obviously, Li Yuan is very dissatisfied with Chun Shenjun's words!The drink between the two lasted until midnight.

After seeing off Li Yuan, Jun Shenjun was drunk and wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but at this moment, Zhu Ying, one of Jun Shenjun's most trusted confidants, spoke.

Zhu Yingdao: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan made a lot of temptations at the banquet just now, as if he always wanted to provoke the relationship between you and the king.

The minister felt that Li Yuan was very likely to be bought by Zhao Guo and became a member of Zhao Guo, or Zhao Kuo's spy! "

"what?"

When he heard Zhu Ying's words, Chunshen Jun was obviously taken aback: "It's impossible for him to be the queen's brother, and there is no need to collude with the people of Chu."

In Chunshenjun's view, Li Yuan is the uncle of the state of Chu, how could an uncle of the country go to collude with people from other countries? This matter sounds very illogical.

Zhu Ying said with certainty: "There is definitely something wrong with this Li Yuan, please be careful with him, or else you will be dragged into some kind of trouble by him."

Jun Shen was silent for a long while, neither agreeing nor denying.

Li Yuan sat on the carriage home, rubbing his chin and talking to himself.

"I didn't expect that Lord Chunshen would be in this situation now, and he would still be stubborn. Being loyal to the king is really rare."

The reason why Li Yuan tested Chun Shenjun just now was not because Li Yuan wanted to betray the state of Chu, but because Li Yuan had a lot of opinions on the current king of Chu.

Although it is said that Li Yuan now belongs to the uncle of the state of Chu, his status is indeed very precious, but in fact the king of Chu does not value Li Yuan, nor does he give Li Yuan any powerful position.

This undoubtedly made Li Yuan very dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction was magnified by Li Si's intentional or unintentional misleading when drinking with Li Si these days.

Since Li Si volunteered to serve as an envoy from Zhao State to Chu State, of course he must find a way to make trouble in Chu State.

Relying on his relationship with Li Yuan, Li Si nailed the key point of messing up the motherland on Li Yuan.

After all kinds of persuasion by Li Si, and I don't know when it started, a very dangerous idea was born in Li Yuan's mind.

Since the King of Chu is unwilling to appoint Li Yuan, wouldn't it be good to kill the King of Chu directly and replace him with the current prince of Chu?

The current prince of Chu is just a little boy of a few years old. If the prince is really allowed to take the throne, he must only be able to let the prince's mother, the queen, be regent.

As the queen's only biological brother, Li Yuan will naturally be able to gain greater power than now, and may even be the power under that one person and over ten thousand people.

This was Li Yuan's real motive for secretly persuading Chun Shenjun in various ways, but judging from today's performance, Li Yuan obviously did not convince Chun Shenjun.

Li Yuan smiled and made a decision.

"Forget it, since he wants to continue to be loyal, let him continue to do it.

If he blocks my way in the future, then I will get rid of him directly! "

In the state of Chu, the game between the monarchs and ministers is still going on. Even though the state of Chu is facing a strong external enemy, in fact, the internal tide of the state of Chu is also turbulent.

Apart from the internal situation of Chu State, Jing Jing, the coach of the Chu State Army, was actually having some headaches at this time.

"This damned Xu Li is a tortoise?

Why is he not willing to come out and fight us, even though he has more strength? "

If one were to say who was the most eager among those who rescued Qi this time, then Jingyang definitely ranked first.

It was precisely because Jingyang was in a hurry that after confronting Xu Li, he immediately took up his position, looking as if he wanted to fight Xu Li.

Jingyang has only 16 soldiers, while Xu Li has 20 troops, so Jingyang thinks that Xu Li should be willing to fight him.

But it turns out that Jingyang's idea was completely wrong.

Xu Li didn't have any intention of fighting Jingyang at all. His army didn't even step out of the city, so he quietly put up a defensive formation.

When Xu Li formed this formation, Jingyang was very embarrassed, because Jingyang's army was at a disadvantage in number, and it would be a very stupid performance to attack the city with an inferior army.

However, if Jingyang does nothing, this will fall right into Xu Li's arms again, because Xu Li does not seek merit this time, but only seeks nothing. Firmly procrastinating here, so that Li Mu can wipe out the Qi country, it will be considered a great success.

Ever since, in order to get Xu Li to play, Jingyang used all kinds of tricks.

Jingyang first wrote a provocative letter and sent it to Xu Li.

In the letter, Jingyang said that you, Xu Li, have always been working behind Zhao Kuo, and I have already seen through you. If you have the guts, come out and fight me for real. .

Then Jingyang received Xu Li's reply.

In the reply, Xu Li said, I did get credit with my lord Zhao Kuo, but just like that, I was able to get in touch with Da Sima, and I was able to defeat you a few years ago.

If you are not convinced, just come and attack the city, but if you want me to attack and fight you, then don't think too much.

After reading this letter, Jingyang was also furious, scolding Xu Li for being a coward.

But no matter how Jingyang scolded him, it was a fact that Xu Li didn't want to play.

The situation in front of him was that once Jingyang could not defeat Xu Li, he would absolutely not be able to continue to rescue Qi.

Because bypassing Xu Li's army means that Jingyang has exposed all the weaknesses of the entire rear to Xu Li. Xu Li doesn't even need to outflank Jingyang from behind, he only needs to cut off Jingyang's transportation route. , can make Jingyang collapse without a fight.

As a result, no matter how hard Jingyang tried to promote the battle situation on Chu's side, he could only helplessly fall into a stalemate.

The state of Chu on the southern front is at a stalemate, and the situation in Qin on the western front is similar.

Outside Pingshu City, Zhao Kuo stared calmly at the city in front of him, and said to Su Li beside him, "The time has come, do you think Wang Jian dares to come out?"

Yes, although it is said that the two sides are at a stalemate, Zhao Kuo is actually not idle.

A few days ago, Zhao Kuo wrote a letter and sent it to Pingshu City. In the letter, he made a direct request, hoping to meet Wang Jian.

Soon Zhao Kuo got a reply, saying that they would meet today.

Su Li nodded and said, "Judging from our Nightingale's information, Wang Jian should be the only general in the Qin Kingdom who can still fight our General Zhao. If even he doesn't have the courage to come out to meet the lord, then It means that the country of Qin is completely finished."

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said, "Frankly speaking, I am also looking forward to meeting him."

Among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period who were recognized in history by later generations, Bai Qilianpo and Li Mu had already dealt with Zhao Kuo, only this Wang Jian was relatively the strangest one.

This is why Zhao Kuo took the initiative to meet Wang Jian.

Anyway, everyone knows very well that this war should not be fought, and in that case, chatting and cheating are also fine.

As far as Zhao Kuo is concerned, he doesn't mind bringing Wang Jian under his command in the future. In this case, there are two generals, Li Mu and Wang Jian, who will fight for Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo can also be said to sleep quite peacefully.

At this time, the gate of Pingshu City finally opened. Wang Jian left the city with a few followers and rode towards Zhao Kuo's direction.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but nodded slightly. It seems that Wang Jian is indeed quite courageous and did not disappoint Zhao Kuo.

The place where the two parties agreed to meet was in the middle of Pingshu City and Zhao Jun's camp outside the city, so that the safety of both parties could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Wang Jian stopped his horse, bowed his hands to Zhao Kuo and saluted: "I have seen Lord Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo looked at Wang Jian in front of him with a smile. In fact, the age difference between the two people was not that big. Zhao Kuo was probably about five or six years old as Wang Jian.

Zhao Kuo said to Wang Jian with a smile: "I have always heard that there is a general in Qin who can be compared with Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, and I finally saw it in person today."

After Wang Jian and his entourage heard this sentence, expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

Although it is said that Bai Qi has failed many times under Zhao Kuo's men, everyone in Qin State recognizes that Bai Qi is the most powerful general in Qin State's history.

Now that Zhao Kuo actually compares Wang Jian and Bai Qi, this is definitely a great affirmation.

Wang Jian took a deep breath, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Jun Wu Xin has praised him absurdly. How can Wang Jian be worthy? How can he be compared with Jun Wu An?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said with a smile: "If someone else didn't say this, it might be absurd praise.

But since this sentence came out of my mouth, it cannot be a false praise. "

When Zhao Kuo said this, he also revealed a sense of domineering and self-confidence.

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, but he didn't refute.

Zhao Kuo is now recognized as the strongest military commander in history. You can only listen to what such a person says, no matter whether you accept it or not.

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Since Wu Xinjun insisted on saying that, then Wang Jian thanked you here."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Speaking of which, how is Wu An Jun Bai Qi doing recently?
