I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

With the character of King Chu, he dare not gamble on this one.

……

The news of the destruction of Handan City quickly spread to Shouchun of Chu State.

Once Handan was broken, Qin's 30 cavalry were free.

However, the Chu State sent all the troops to the land of Jingchu to attack Xianyang of the Qin State. At this moment, Shouchun is an empty city. Who will resist the Qin army going south?

The King of Chu quickly asked, "Where did General Xiang Yan go?"

Minister Zhao Xian said: "General Xiang Yan has captured Nanyang County and is attacking Wuguan. However, at Wuguan, the Qin army resisted desperately, and it is said that they suffered heavy losses."

Minister Sun Quan said indignantly: "What is Xiang Yan doing? The seven princes of our family sent all their manpower and material resources to him, yet they couldn't even conquer a single Wu Pass?"

The King of Chu said with a gloomy face, "Let Xiang Yan give up attacking Wuguan and return to aid Shouchun!"

Old General Sima Jingyang of Chu State pondered for a long time, and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you withdraw the army at this moment, your success will come to nothing. The city that Chu State has finally obtained will be taken away by Qin State again!"

"Your Majesty, the battle between Qin and Zhao was extremely fierce. When two tigers fight each other, one must be wounded. Zhao is destroyed, and the battle of Qin and the whole country is not much better."

"In this battle, Qin and Chu have been fighting for two years. The people of Qin have no extra food at this moment, and the army has no food. Zhao land has just been breached, and refugees are everywhere. If Qin does not help, the refugees in Zhao land will die. It will rebel, not to mention that the north of the Hutuo River has been occupied by Yan State, and the east of Handan has 10,000+ Qi and Wei coalition forces."

"The state of Qin dare not send troops south to attack Shouchun, the capital of our country."

"Once they go south, the Yan Kingdom will cross the Hutuo River and continue to go south to take Handan, and the Qi Wei coalition forces will even snatch a large area of ​​Zhao's city."

"But if the Qin army wants to go south, they have to pass through the state of Wei. They must first take down the state of Wei!"

"What's more, it's not that we don't have soldiers. We can summon 10,000+ troops at any time without any problem."

Chu Wanghan looked at his uncle, Ling Yin Li Yuan of Chu State. (equivalent to the prime minister, more powerful than the prime minister of Qin)

Li Yuan sniffed, coughed, and said lightly: "My lord, now that we have captured the old capital, Yingcheng, why don't we accept it when it's good?"

"Ling Yin's words are reasonable, but what Sima said just now, if he withdraws, I'm afraid it will fall short, and even give Qin a chance to breathe. It will be difficult to attack Qin in the future."

(Congratulations to Li Yuan, God of War of Chu State, on stage.)

Chapter 219 Li Yuan Advises the King of Chu to Withdraw His Troops, Making Public Opposition

Li Yuan clasped his hands and glanced at Sima Jingyang, his teeth itching with hatred.

Although his Ling Yin is in charge of the affairs of the country, his status is second only to King Han of Chu, and he can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people.

But only he himself knows that his Ling Yin is just an empty title and has no real power.

Chu's army, except for the imperial guards, which is in the hands of Chu King Han, the rest of the army is controlled by the seven major clans, especially the three major clans of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

In the Jing family, the old man Jingyang is Sima, who is in charge of the army of the seven princes. Lesser teacher.

(Qu Yuan's previous position was Doctor Sanlv.)

Let’s talk about the Qu family. Qu Yuan’s son, Qu Huan, is a left disciple of the state of Chu. He is in charge of the country’s diplomacy and the relationship between the royal family and the public. Doctor Song Yu, doctor Tang Le, and Sanlu doctor Jing Chai. He was even a disciple of Qu Yuan in the past, protecting the Qu clan wholeheartedly.

Two brothers Zhaoran and Zhaoyong of the Zhao family, and even Ling Yin (the two deputy prime ministers of the family), directly emptied Li Yuan.

Although he supported his nephew King Han of Chu to the throne, he killed his predecessor, Yin Chunshen Jun Huang Xie.

But after he came to power, he realized that the Seven Great Dukes were terrifying. It seemed that his success was a conspiracy, a conspiracy by the Seven Great Dukes to kill Huang Xie, a conspiracy to kill Huang Xie, the reformer with Chunshen Lord Huang Xie as the leader.

But he found out too late, he had already become the knife in the hands of the Seven Great Dukes.

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, as the younger brother of King Chu Kaolie and the Lingyin of Chu State, is thinking of reform and strengthening, and wants to revive Wu Qi's way and revitalize Chu State.

To revitalize the state of Chu, it is necessary to take the seven princes into action. However, at that time, the king of Chu was weak, and Huang Xie, as Ling Yin, controlled the court with one hand, and directly emptied King Han of Chu, wanting to become the real king of Chu.

He killed Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, and also killed dozens of nobles who could compete with the Seven Great Dukes, making the Seven Great Dukes the most powerful force in the Chu Kingdom for a while, and no one can suppress the Seven Great Dukes. up.

Today, General Xiang Yan is Sima Jingyang's disciple, leading the army to conquer. General Xin Wu is also the old guy's disciple, guarding the palace, serving as Lang Yin, to put it bluntly, guarding the King of Chu and his Li Yuan.

To be honest, Li Yuan said a word, in the ears of the seven princes, it was not as shocking as a fart.

Now the king is still asking for his opinion, ah, my lord, what we say doesn't work!

Zuo Ling Yin Zhaoyong said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I think we can't retreat. If we retreat, we will lose. As Lord Sima said, now is a good time to attack. Although the general Xiang Yan failed to attack, it was a small defeat. It’s nothing, as military strategists say, defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists.”

You Ling Yin Zhaoran also stood up and said: "Besides, the Qin people will not be able to go south for a while. Even if we go south, we still have 30 slave troops, and we will recruit another [-] civilian troops. General Xin Wu will lead them to stop the Qin army. .”

(The composition of the power of the Chu State, the royal family Xiong, the seven major princes, intellectuals, civilians are farmers, businessmen, dependent people, civilians dependent on nobles, and finally slaves.)

Sanlu doctor Jing Chai also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, our country of Chu has a vast land and rich resources, and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. At this moment, it should be the country of Qin that should be worried."

"Once the state of Qin has a chance to breathe, the people of Qin are tigers and wolves. It is said that Zhang He is Bai Qi, the God of Killing back then. When the time comes, the Qin of tigers and wolves will attack, and we will have nothing to do."

A few ministers you say, I say, Chu Wanghan's descendants are in cold sweat, is it so scary?

Thinking of the time when Tu Baiqi broke through their capitals and moved the capital of the state of Chu in fright, the king of Chu said quickly, "You can do what you want, as long as you keep the country of Chu."

Li Yuan couldn't help sighing when he heard Chu Wanghan's words, how could this work?It's time for him to speak.

Handan was destroyed, and the state of Zhao was destroyed. Although the state of Chu had a vast territory and rich resources, and there were countless soldiers, the people of Chu were far inferior to the fierce Zhao people.

To be honest, Chu people are best at singing and dancing.

He, Li Yuan, is from Zhao. He knows Zhao's nature. Like the Qin people, he would rather die than admit defeat. On the battlefield, he really didn't take his life as his life. When he came to Chu, he came to Chu to escape the war. He was killed by the Qin people.

Now I have mixed up with Ling Yin of Chu State. Although he has no real power, he is rich and rich, and enjoys endlessly. My Li family is the biggest foreign relative in Chu State.

"Your Majesty, the state of Qin today is like a wounded hungry wolf, who catches and bites whoever is caught. Now General Xiang Yan is in the direction of Jingchu Yingdu, five or six days away from our Shouchun. If the people of Qin are annoyed, Qin People are desperate, and I am afraid they will also attack our capital Shouchun."

When Chu Wanghan heard his uncle's words, his whole body trembled again, so what should he do?

Chu Wanghan was furious in his heart, he shouldn't have taken action against Qin before, it was all of you, who urged the widows to take back Yingdu, as a shameful act.

Well, now it's a shame, but it has angered the wolf of Qin, and the wolf is about to bite.

Li Yuan saw that the king was afraid, so he looked at Sima Jingyang, and asked indifferently: "Sima, I just want to ask, can General Xin Wu defend against the attack of the Qin people in the north?"

"The 30 slave army, plus the 50 civilian army, may not be able to do anything to the Qin people. You must know what kind of army the Qin people have. It is the existence of the [-] army that just killed the Zhao army. The real tiger and wolf division .”

Jingyang snorted coldly and said, "It's enough to recruit another 20 civilian troops. A 60 army can't stop the 10,000+ Qin army, not to mention Wei Guo is in the middle. , Dingtao area was given to Wei State, as long as Xiang Yan captured Xianyang, Qin State would perish."

Jingyang took a deep breath, now is the best time to attack Xianyang, if missed, the remaining four countries will be finished.

Chu State could not avoid the fate of subjugation.

"Lord Sima, have you ever thought about what if Wei Guo surrendered and turned against him?"

"You have to know that Wei Guo has no power to fight." Li Yuan said unwillingly.

When it comes to state affairs and military battles, he really can't talk to these nobles.

Sanlu doctor Jing Chai said: "But Wei Guo is really recruiting troops from all over the country. I heard from Wei Guo's envoys that they have summoned another 15 troops. Their king and prince will live and die with Daliang and will never surrender to Qin. "

"Do you all have to dance on the tip of the knife? The safety of the king is the most important thing. From the old man's point of view, you don't care about the life of the king at all!" Li Yuan was also angry, and roared at the ministers.

You want to die, but the old man and the king don't want to die!

Everyone was shocked, this damned Li Yuan, everyone is doing their best for the state of Chu, why didn't they take the king's safety into consideration?You are making something out of nothing.

Li Yuan said again: "Your Majesty, protecting Shouchun is the most important thing."

Chu Wanghan stood up, sat down again after a long time, and said, "The safety of the widow is the most important thing to call Xiang Yan back to Shouchun."

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't call it back!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, this is the only chance to destroy Qin."

Chu Wanghan waved his hand and said, "Sima, follow my orders."

Jingyang was furious, Li Yuan, a traitor, is not killing Chu State, you feel uncomfortable!

But the king has issued an order, and if they don't follow it, it is against the king's order.

I can only order Xiang Yan privately not to return to aid Shouchun.

If Xianyang is not breached this time, he, Jingyang, will hang himself at the gate of Shouchun City.

Chapter 220 Liu Bang Appears

Wei Guoliang.

Wei Wangzeng was also trembling, he didn't expect Handan City to be breached so quickly.

Handan City was breached, so next, Qin State will definitely attack Wei State, because Wei State is the weakest, and there is nothing to ask for.

"Father, the decree has been issued, and my ministers personally went to the old capital of Xunyang to recruit troops. At present, 15 troops have been summoned, and the envoys of Chu State have promised that as long as we fight against Qin with all our strength, we will send Pei County, Dingtao, These two cities were given to the State of Wei, and the Deputy Prime Minister has already gone to Pei County and Dingtao to recruit troops."

(The land of Tao was once an enclave of Qin State. It was later occupied by Wei State, then by Qin State, and now it is occupied by Chu State. Now it is given to Wei State.)

Wei Wangzeng looked bitter, how could an army of 15 resist Qin's 30 cavalry.

The 20 army I recruited, facing the 30 soldiers of the Qin State, is a joke.

The king of Chu is really calculating. Dingtao belonged to the state of Wei in the first place, and now it has been captured by the state of Wei again. Isn't this a matter of course?

I just want to take a Pei County and let the State of Wei charge forward. There is the State of Qi in the north of Peixian County, and the State of Wei in the west. For the State of Chu, it is like a tasteless existence.

In fact, he already has an idea in his heart now, if it doesn't work, just surrender. If he surrenders, he can still keep his royal blood, otherwise it will be the fate of Zhao Guo.

I heard that King Han is living in Xianyang, and his life is not bad. Yingzheng did not massacre the Han family, and let the Han family become officials in the Qin Dynasty. The nine sons of King Han were even appreciated by King Qin Yingzheng. Said to reuse.

Prime Minister Wei Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Wei family created such a huge foundation. We unfilial descendants have already lost too much. If we can't keep the beam, we really have no face to go down and meet our ancestors."

The corner of Wei Wangzeng's mouth twitched, his heart trembled, and he was determined to resist the war again. He could not surrender. A widow is also the king of a country. Even if the country is destroyed, he cannot surrender.

"Prince, give up the old capital of Xunyang, and deploy all the troops of the whole country in Daliang. Haven't we already recaptured Suanzao and Guilin before, and deployed the army along the Yellow River to prevent the Qin army from going south."

"Yes, Father..."

Wei Wangzeng then asked: "Where is Old General Zhai Zhang, has he joined the Qi army? If not, then quickly retreat back, the most important thing is to guard the beam."

Prince Wei said: "Father, old general Zhai Zhang has joined the Qi army, and will resist the Qin army going south in Maling."

Wei Wangzeng pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "Let Zhai Zhang retreat! The girders can't be defended anymore. If we continue to confront the Qin army, if they are destroyed, who will guard the girders? The old general Zhai Zhang is our only general. .”

The crown prince quickly said: "But..."

"Fake, don't mess around. Both Qi and Chu use Wei as the vanguard. Let's not be the knife that kills the people of Qin!"

"You have to think long term."

Prince Wei was startled, could it be that his father already planned to surrender?

This……

"Fake son, my father has my father's plans."

The crown prince is actually unwilling to do so. Before the battle, his father has already made plans to surrender. Can this still be defeated?

After coming down to court, the prime minister Wei Zhi and the crown prince came out from the palace.

Wei Zhi also noticed that the King of Wei didn't want to fight Qin, but wanted peace talks, but Qin's face, how could he be able to negotiate peace?

King Wei probably was frightened by Zhang He from Qin during the last peace talks.

To be honest, he was scared too!

Zhang He of the Qin people is an executioner who kills without blood.

"Prime Minister, father, he..."

"Prince, we can't talk about peace, and we can't surrender. We have to find another way."

"But the father seems to have made up his mind."

"We have no face to go down and meet our ancestors!"

The prince pretended to take a deep breath, and said: "The prince knows, even if the father doesn't want to fight, the prince will fight to the end, and he must not surrender with his hands bound."

"Prime Minister, you ask Prime Minister Ximen to quickly recruit troops and bring them back. We will guard Daliang, the capital of the country together, and you can give up the rest of the place."

At this moment, Ximen Guan has arrived in Sishui, Pei County, and the county magistrate of Pei County led a group of people to meet Ximen Guan in Sishui, five miles north of Pei County.

In the haystack in the distance, there were two teenagers lying on their stomachs. They were going to go to school, but they heard that some important people from Wei State were coming today. Mr. often told them stories about the four gentlemen of Wei State. They especially admired Wei State. Wei Wuji, the king of Guoxinling, is a man.

So, today when they heard that someone from Chu State was coming, they came here quietly to see if the person coming was Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling.

"What the hell, after waiting for a long time, it's not Lord Xinling, Liu Ji, let's go, let's go back."

"Hahaha, sir, this prime minister has the same character as yours, and his name is Wan."
