General Qin.

Chapter 332 Establishing a New King
Xiang Yan is not yet 60 years old this year. Although most of his hair has turned gray due to working on state affairs, his waist is still straight, his speech is full of air, and his eyes often have a frightening light.

Although the tiger is old, it still has the power to devour people.

Even Zhao Yuan, the most irritable and proud general in the Chu army, bowed his head in front of him and dared not speak loudly.

Now, Xiang Yan is kneeling in his tent, with a silk script full of birds and insects on the wooden table in front of him.

It was an edict from King Chu of Chu.

"Your Majesty ordered me to hand over the military power to Jin Xia and call me back to Shouchun."

Xiang Yan spoke lightly.

As soon as the words fell, the three generals in the tent immediately shouted: "Ling Yin can't do it!"

Zhao Yuan stood up and said excitedly: "This is a random fate! The Qin general Wang Jian is so powerful, both Yan and Zhao countries were killed by him, and now he is personally leading an army of 60 to go south. At this moment, we The state of Chu is in danger of being overthrown, and only Ling Yin can contend against him, Wang Jian. If Ling Yin leaves, there is no reason for the hundreds of thousands of troops here to survive!"

"Of course!"

Qu Mao also shouted loudly: "Chen Ying can't do without Ling Yin, Ling Yin can't leave!"

Jing Tong also said: "Jin Xia, the supervising army, doesn't understand military warfare at all. Handing over hundreds of thousands of troops to him is not an act of subjugation. If Yin really wants to take orders, I'm afraid our army will be killed within three days. It must be defeated, Chu State must perish!"

Xiang Yan was expressionless, and said indifferently: "You don't want me to leave, do you want me to resist the king's order?"

"The king's order? Bah, is Shouchun's nephew worthy of being king!"

Zhaoyuan said angrily: "The one who bears the grass, the one who kills the king and usurps the throne, his position is not right. I don't know how many people in the country do not accept him, but it is just at the time when the people of Qin came to the east, and Wang Ben attacked me in Jingchu. Only when the domestic situation is stable can he be recognized as the king. Otherwise, if this person is cruel and short-sighted, he can be allowed to sit on the throne of the king of Chu. This person issued a rebellious order today, intending to destroy our country of Chu, and Yin will not respect his order What is there to be afraid of?"

"I, Zhao Shi, don't know what wrongful orders I have, and I only want to obey Ling Yin's orders today!"

Zhao Yuan opened the door, and Jing Tong and Qu Mao hesitated for a while and also opened their mouths.

"Mr. Jing is willing to follow Ling Yin to advance and retreat."

"Qu Shi is willing to listen to Ling Yin's orders."

Seeing the three generals express their views, Xiang Yan's tense face relaxed a little.

Three generals Zhaoyuan, Jingtong and Qu Mao.

Representing the largest and most powerful three aristocratic families in the Chu Kingdom.

Qu, Jing, Zhao.

The soldiers of the three clans are the most elite and most powerful troops in Chu State today. With these three people expressing their support, Xiang Yan can do whatever he wants.

At this moment, the curtain door of the military tent was picked up.

The smug Jin Xia walked in.

With his chin raised, he shouted to Xiang Yan who was seated on the main seat: "Since Ling Yin has received the imperial edict, when will he return to his birthday? Your Majesty takes pity on Ling Yin and is about to ask Ling Yin to come back to comfort you. Let the king wait a long time."

When the three generals heard this, their faces were full of anger.Zhao Yuan was about to speak, but Xiang Yan raised his hand to stop him, so he could only shut up angrily.

Xiang Yan said indifferently: "Don't worry about the supervising army, the old man will leave tomorrow, and the army will also be handed over to the supervising army at that time."

"Good. Ling Yin is really a loyal minister of the country."

Jin Xia chuckled and got the answer she wanted.

He didn't stay for a long time, turned around and walked out of the tent, as if he was afraid of Xiang Yan's repentance.

"Bah, the people of the Jin family really have no good things. In the past when King Huai, if his ancestor Jin Shang had not been generously bribed by Zhang Yi to speak for Zhang Yi through King Huai's favorite concubine, I am afraid that Zhang Yi would have been killed by our Chu State long ago. There will be a tragedy for King Huai in the future."

Zhao Yuan said indignantly: "Ling Yin, why did you agree to hand over the army just now? With our support, so what if you turn against him? I will cut off Jin Xia's dog's head first with a sword." Come down, to relieve the hatred in my heart."

Xiang Yan glanced at the tent, and saw that Jing and Qu were both looking at her worriedly, as if they wanted to speak to persuade.

Xiang Yan snorted, and said, "Kill Jin Xia and break with Li Chu? In this way, can the hundreds of thousands of troops here still support? Is there any chance for our Chu Kingdom to continue?"

The three generals were silent.

Just as Xiang Yan said, if there is no war or foreign invasion, and they have the support of Qu Jingzhao's family, Xiang Yan will go against it if he says he will.

But when is it now, Wang Jian's army is watching, Zhao Tuo's surprise soldiers have arrived in Suishui, and they can attack their rear at any time, and there is a lack of food in Chu State, and the whole country has reached the time of extinction.

At a time like this, if you still want to engage in internal fighting, do you want to push it again because you think that Chu State is not dying fast enough?

Not to mention that Chen Ying's food was only enough for them for more than ten days, and there was still the last batch of military food in the rear that had not been delivered.

As long as Xiang Yan dared to disobey his orders, he might withhold the food and hay with the character of the King of Chu.

At that time, let alone a month, it will be over in half a month at most.

"Damn it, why is that short-sighted? What he did is to destroy our country of Chu. If we had known this, we should have joined forces last year to drive him off the throne!" Zhao Yuan looked sad and said that he was not fair.

Jing Tong gritted his teeth and said: "But even if we don't break with the negative, and continue to endure for the survival of the Chu State. But once Ling Yin leaves, then Wang Jian will definitely not miss the opportunity. Our army will definitely lose in the battle of Chen Ying, and the entire Chu State will be defeated." I'm still going to die!"

Seeing that the generals were worried, Xiang Yan laughed.

"Actually, even if the old man stays here, he won't be able to save the Chu State from overthrowing. Wang Jian's old turtle insists on exhausting us here. If we continue to fight, after a month, my army will run out of food, and it will still be a disastrous defeat. If Wang Jian defeats the main force of our army, he will be able to drive straight in, cross the Huai River in one fell swoop, and destroy our country of Jingchu."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Xiang Yan's eyes, and she whispered: "The old man has also thought about various ways to save the Chu country, and he has a plan in mind, but he has not dared to make up his mind. Today, I can't say that the old man is forcing me. This is the only way to go, and even though Chu is defeated, it may still be able to survive."

Hearing that Xiang Yan has a plan to save the country, the three generals' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said: "Ling Yin has a plan to save the country, I dare to ask you to hear about it."

Facing the question from the three generals, a figure of a man flashed in front of Xiang Yan's eyes.

Zhu Rong's blood, born noble.

Gentle young man, his words are humble.

More importantly, he has a sincere heart for Chu State.

If he came to sit on the throne, would he do better than Lu Chu?

Xiang Yan's eyes instantly became firm.

"I want to leave Huaibei and go east with my elite troops."

"Help establish a new king, and continue the state of Chu!"

……

On the second day, Jin Xia, the supervisor of the army, rushed to take over Xiang Yan's troop deployment.

It was only then that Xiang Yan discovered that Xiang Yan had gathered [-] elite soldiers and loaded with a large amount of food, as if he was about to lead his troops to leave.

"Ling Yin! Your Majesty ordered you to hand over your military power and go south to Shouchun. Why did you lead your troops away? What do you want to do!"

Jin Xia was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he felt scared.

Is this old Xiang Yan going to rebel?
Xiang Yan walked towards her military chariot, ignoring Jin Xia's words.

After getting into the car and standing still, Xiang Yan turned to Zhao Yuan and said, "Yuan, I will leave this place to you, and you can delay it for a few days. If Wang Jian attacks, I will do my best. This time Huaibei can no longer be defended, you only need to buy time for me here. Let me have time to lead the elite troops and go to protect Huainan."

"Don't worry, Ling Yin, Zhao Yuan still planted Ling Yin's flag here, and it will surely scare that old turtle Wang Jian from moving."

Zhaoyuan's blood surged up, and he generously promised.

Xiang Yan nodded slightly, standing on the military chariot, looking back, he saw that [-] elite Chu soldiers had assembled under the dispatch of Jing Tong and Qu Mao.

These [-] elites are the strength that Xiang Yan reserved for the new state of Chu.

The grain of Chu State could not support hundreds of thousands of troops.

But what if there are only tens of thousands of soldiers?

Maybe for a while longer.

As for Chen Ying and Shang Cai Pingyu's hundreds of thousands of troops.

Even the King of Chu in Shouchun City lost the grass.

They have all been abandoned by Xiang Yan.

They will be used to consume the strength of the Qin army.

Even the vast land of Huaibei will be used to disperse the forces of the Qin people.

"set off!"

Xiang Yan growled and gave the order to set off.

The four-horse chariot rolled forward, and fifty thousand Chu troops headed eastward.

There, it is the direction of Sui Shui.

"Xiang Yan, what are you doing!"

Seeing the army starting to set off, Jin Xia cried out anxiously. He turned his head to stare at Zhao Yuan and said, "Where is Xiang Yan going to lead the troops? What exactly are you going to do?"

"do what?"

Zhao Yuan looked at the yelling pet minister in front of him, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come here, take down this treacherous official who only knows how to flatter the country!"

"He chopped off his head and sent it to Shouchun."
