After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

The king of Chu, who was the wisest generation, could never have imagined that the person who killed his favorite son was his own son who had been neglected all along.

Sometimes, Qin Jue would think, he is also a son, why can't he receive the love and power he deserves?Perhaps according to the words of Chu State Wu Zhu, his fate is not good.

But he doesn't believe in fate, he doesn't believe in the "fate" that others say to the death, it doesn't matter if no one in this world really loves him, he can love himself.

Everything was under Qin Jue's control. He used the Xiang family to climb up to the position of prince, and soon he became the master of Chu.

But the sky failed to fulfill people's wishes, and something happened at this moment...

This matter was not aimed at him, it was Xiao Mingze.King Yan collected a large amount of criminal evidence about Xiao's forming a party for personal gain and intending to rebel over the years.All the clans of the Xiao family in Yandu City were all executed by the King of Yan, but Xiao Mingze fled to the border of Yan and Chu with his uncle Xiao Lie's two thousand cavalry. Now the Xiao family is running around like a bereaved dog.

At this time, Xiao Mingze, who had nowhere to go, sent someone to secretly send a letter to Qin Jue, the Prince of Chu.It's just that he sent out this letter for a few days, but he hasn't seen a reply...

Now he thinks that there are not many people he can rely on and rely on, and the only one he can rely on is Qin Jue.Naturally... He also thought that Qin Jue might not reply to his letter. Qin Jue was only 12 years old when he left the country of Yan. avoid.

Xiao Mingze won't be able to stay at the border for long, and Yan's pursuers will catch up soon.Their Xiao family has been loyal to the country of Yan for generations. Three generations of their ancestors were buried on the battlefield for the country of Yan, but now the king of Yan wants to drive their Xiao family to extinction.

Xiao Mingze really couldn't swallow this breath, and he had long wanted to kill the King of Yan and proclaim himself emperor, but at this moment he only had two thousand soldiers.These two thousand sergeants are all people who followed Xiao Shi and made great contributions, so he felt chilled.

At this moment, it was snowing heavily outside, and Xiao Mingze was in Qinchuan. He remembered the book he read with Qin Jue when he was a child.Tonight is the last day he waited for, if Qin Jue still didn't come... This is just his wishful thinking after all.

When Xiao Mingze thought of this, he looked up at the blood and was stunned for a long time. He was afraid that Qin Jue would not come, because if Qin Jue did not come, he would not be able to borrow soldiers smoothly, and he would not be able to avenge the Xiao family. If you come...

Just as he was thinking this way, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes from outside the valley in the distance.At this moment, Xiao Mingze seemed to feel something, he quickly pulled his horse over, and then galloped all the way to the place where the sound of hoofbeats came from.

He was looking forward to it day and night, he had been looking forward to this day for many years... six years.He hadn't seen that person for more than six years, so he seemed very excited at this moment. When he ran to the mountain pass, heavy snow fell all over the mountain path, and that person suddenly stopped.

Xiao Mingze hurriedly got off his horse and ran over. At this moment, he saw a man in a black cloak standing in the wind and snow waiting for him. He didn't say anything after seeing him, and hugged him as soon as he got up.

Even though it was windy, cold and snowy, the valley was too dark to see clearly.Xiao Mingze still knew... that the person who came was Qin Jue.

Xiao Mingze hugged him for a long time, but Qin Jue didn't move away from him. Only when heavy snow fell on their heads and shoulders did Qin Jue move him away, and then stretched out a cold hand to wipe the snow off his shoulders heap.

Xiao Mingze looked into his eyes at the moment, and when he spoke, he exhaled waves of warm air that floated in the air: "Why are you here at this time, I remember...you are the most afraid of the cold."

Qin Jue looked at him after brushing off the snow from his robe and said, "The journey is long, and the situation in the court of Chu is changing. I know you will wait here for a long time, so I rushed here day and night."

When Xiao Mingze heard his words, he was stunned for a moment... It turned out that this person hadn't forgotten him, and Qin Jue had always kept him in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over here even after receiving the letter.Xiao Mingze hugged him tightly again: "Do you still remember? The two of us have white heads, and the two of us are in Qinchuan at this moment... A Jue."

***

I don't know how long it took, Qin Jue pushed him away: "I'm here this time to discuss big plans with you, not to talk about love. If you want to talk about it, you can wait another day. I'm here to hide I only have one night to go up and down from Chu State, and I have to rush back tomorrow morning."

Xiao Mingze was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, and then he hid the disappointment in his eyes: "Well... I know, it's snowy and cold here, so you go with me to the camp where I'm stationed and tell you, my It’s very warm in the tent, I’ve prepared a charcoal basin for you, and I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

Qin Jue was slightly taken aback when he heard his words, then he nodded: "Yes."

***

Qin Jue followed Xiao Mingze back to his tent. It was the coldest month of winter, the coldest time of the year.When Xiao Mingze fled with his troops, he didn't bring much. At the moment, his two thousand soldiers were short of food and grass, and behind them were the chasing soldiers from the Yan Kingdom. He was consumed.

After Xiao Mingze saw Qin Jue, he didn't hide his intentions at all. He said bluntly, "A Jue, in fact, I ordered someone to send you a letter because I wanted Chu to lend me troops. I want to fight back to Yandu City!"

Qin Jue nodded unhurriedly after hearing what he said.

Did he agree to borrow troops or not?

After six years of separation, Qin Jue has already grown up, and the black cloak that Xiao Mingze gave him before is just right for him to wear now, and Qin Jue's temperament seems to be different from before.His figure has become a little more slender and better, but he is still as thin as before.

There is another difference from before, that is - his eyes.In the past, Qin Jue's eyes would always tell him something, but now Xiao Mingze felt that he couldn't understand Qin Jue.His eyes became complicated, so complicated that even Xiao Mingze didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, Qin Jue suddenly raised his head to look at him and asked: "Since it is a loan, what can you promise to Chu State? You must know that if Yan State wants to get rid of your Xiao family, it will be Yan State after all." own family affairs, and once Chu State interferes with this matter this time, it means that Chu State will clearly go to war with Yan State. Not to mention how many soldiers you have received this time, if there is such a case, this time you can borrow You failed as a soldier. Then our Chu State has to bear the losses of those soldiers who died in battle and also go to war with Yan State. In this way, our Chu State has become the target of public criticism."

"Ah Jue..." Xiao Mingze looked at Qin Jue, who was seriously talking about his interests.

He hasn't changed in a way, but he's changed in the six years since he left.They haven't seen each other for six years, and it's normal for their relationship to fade.Xiao Mingze has been comforting himself in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Jue suddenly said: "Master Hou, I am here to discuss with you as the prince of Chu."

Xiao Mingze was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then he smiled helplessly.

That's right... Qin Jue now has an additional status as the prince of the Chu country. He is the heir apparent of the Chu country, so everything he does now has to be for the sake of the Chu country.

After a while, Xiao Mingze replied to him: "Yes, as you can see, His Royal Highness, I only have 2000 people in my hands now. It would be wishful thinking to fight back to Yandu City with only these 2000 people, that's why I came here Borrow troops. I promise that if I fight back to Yandu City and take Yan Wanglai to that position, I will list all the positions from the north of Qinchuan to Bi'ajiang as the boundaries of Chu State."

When Qin Jue heard this, he suddenly put his face in one hand and said, "That's all? Lord Hou...you haven't fought a war yet, if you lose, then our country of Chu must suffer in the end. Think it through. Apart from this kind of promise, do you have any other bargaining chips for Chu?"

Xiao Mingze was taken aback when he heard what he said, there was no doubt about it.At this moment, Qin Jue is negotiating, and if the benefits he gives are not enough, Chu State will not send troops to help him...

Xiao Mingze clenched his fists tightly. He thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Qin Jue with a pleading look: "As you can see, I only have two thousand soldiers, and the only promise I can give is after victory. Say this Come on, your country of Chu has to rely on gambling, if you win the bet, the mountains and rivers belong to your country of Chu, if you lose the bet, you have to fight with the country of Yan to the end."

When Qin Jue heard him say this, he suddenly laughed softly: "In this way, Lord Hou doesn't have anything else to exchange?"

Xiao Mingze frowned suddenly when he heard what he said, and then said simply: "Yes, I have nothing but promises. This time I risked my life to come here to borrow troops just to kill the moment when I returned to Yandu City. And, I have already made up my mind that if we fail this time, we will be benevolent. If we lose the battle, I will naturally go underground to save our dead souls. I hope that we will grow up in the enemy's country in the coming year, so that we can wait for the opportunity to avenge our shame!"

After hearing what he said, Qin Jue asked again: "You mean you want to become the emperor?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mingze was slightly taken aback, and then he nodded his head: "Yes, I wanted to be emperor very early on, because only in this way can I get everything I want, because in this way, I can't get rid of it." At the mercy of fate, you can have what you want."

Qin Jue thought for a long time after hearing what he said, and finally he asked a question: "Then... What are the chances of your success?"

When Xiao Mingze heard him ask himself this question, he didn't want to hide it from Qin Jue, so he told him honestly: "If Chu State is willing to lend me [-] troops, the chance of success is no less than [-]%."
