General Qin.

"In the past, my predecessor, King Cheng, married Qin. The two countries were like one, and they worked together to form an alliance. Said: Ye Wan's descendants, don't harm each other."

"There have been 21 generations of marriage between Qin and Chu. Although the courtiers were unvirtuous, they sent troops from the upper kingdom to Jing. However, if the king of Qin can take care of the past, not obliterate the state of Chu, and serve the old affairs of defending the country, the courtiers will be able to gain a small fortune." If the town worships the blood of the ancestors, it can continue the goodwill of Qin and Chu, and it can also show the benevolent heart of the King of Qin and the meaning of the people of Chu. Please tell the general to the King of Qin..."

The king of Chu knelt in front of Wang Jian's carriage with his bare face, and after three visits, he prayed to Wang Jian.

Although it was an unconditional surrender, Chu Wang Xiangchu also wanted a good end in his heart.

It would be great if Qin State could keep the blood of Chu State and let him be the ruler of a small town like it did with Wei State.

In Chu Wang's hopeful eyes, Wang Jian did not answer, but turned to Zhao Tuo and asked with a smile: "What do you think of the words of the king of Chu?"

Zhao Tuo said calmly, "You should go to Xianyang and tell the king personally what Chu Jun said."

"Of course!"

Wang Jian nodded, and said coldly to the King of Chu: "My king Jian only knows how to destroy the country, but how to preserve the country? Please express your wish to the king yourself."

King Chu's whole body trembled, Wang Jian's words made him feel endless humiliation.

At this moment, he finally realized the feelings of Han Wangan, Zhao Wangqian, and Wei Wangjia.

The kings of the six countries in the past are now the ministers and concubines of the Qin State.

The King of Chu raised his head negatively, staring at the General Qin who was sitting behind Wang Jian on the chariot.

It was this person who rejected his request just now.

Zhao Tuo.

This is the person who has made him sleepless day and night since last year.

Finally met.

He is really young, even younger than his son, but he has already made such brilliant achievements. From his perspective, given time, this person should not be weaker than Wang Jian.

"Although Bugu was defeated, he also created an enemy for you, Zhao Tuo. He will definitely see how you are rejected by the people of Qin in the future, and your future will be ruined. I will not be able to do it quickly."

Chu Wang Xiangchu murmured in his heart, thinking of this place, his mood improved a lot.

The reason why he targeted Zhao Tuo was because of an accident to vent his anger.What's more, I have to give myself a psychological comfort. When facing the subjugation of the country, he is about to become a prisoner of the enemy's ranks. The heart of King Chu Chu is full of despair and apprehension.

At this time, as long as he thinks of the conspiracy he secretly performed to make the hateful Zhao Tuo pay the price, he can feel a little pleasure, and he can even endure the humiliation in front of him.

A goal that can get him through the moment of despair in front of him.

On the chariot, Zhao Tuo also felt the strange gaze from the King of Chu, and he couldn't help but get goose bumps on his body.

The King of Chu deliberately relied on him again and again, and Zhao Tuo was aware of it.Although he didn't know the specific plan in King Chu's mind, he had long been vigilant.

Therefore, before the king of Chu sent an envoy to offer the sword of the king of Yue, he not only refused to accept it, but also warned all the generals under his command to strictly abide by their morals and never be polluted by the Chu people.

Fortunately, Wang Jian has already arrived, and in the current situation, it doesn't matter what the king of Chu thinks.

It is a foregone conclusion that the state of Qin will destroy Chu, what can be done to a mere prisoner of the lower class, a captive of subjugation?
Zhao Tuo's gaze swept across negative Chu's body, and there was nothing worthy of his attention about this pale middle-aged man.

His eyes fell on the royal family and nobles of the Chu Kingdom who were escorted out, countless concubines and beauties with panic faces, and the many treasures pulled by the carriage.

In the 800 years of the Chu State, although the capital was moved several times, there are many rare treasures and sacrificial utensils in the state treasury.

Now, everything will become the property of Qin.

In the 800 years, the struggle and development of the 42 kings of Jingchu are now all owned by the people of Qin.

Seeing another [-]-year-old great country perish before his eyes, Zhao Tuo's heart was agitated, and a sentence from later generations came to his mind.

"The collection of Yanzhao, the management of Han Wei, the elites of Qi and Chu, for several generations, plundered his people, leaning against mountains. If you can't have it, lose it..."

Zhao Tuo stood in the car, looking at the princes and grandchildren, the nobles, the nobles, and the king of Chu, under the escort of the Qin army, walked northeastward.

They cried step by step, sighed step by step, tears fell like rain, and mourning was everywhere.

These subjugated monarchs and ministers of Jingchu will walk across the Feishui River, cross the Huaihe River, and step by step go to Chenying, the former state of Chu, and Huaiyang, the state of Qin today.

Xianyang has issued an edict, and the king's chariot will come to Chu in person.

In the former capital of the Chu State, the dignitaries of the King of Qin accepted the audience of these subjugated captives and enjoyed the supreme glory.

At this time, seeing the king of Chu and his ministers bowing their heads eastward like servants, the [-] soldiers of the Qin army who participated in the surrender ceremony outside Shouchun City were all excited, and someone called out.

"Chu is dead!"

Immediately afterwards, all the [-] Qin soldiers cheered and shouted.

"Chu is dead!"

In that full of excited cheers.

Zhao Tuo calmed down instead.

"Is Chu really dead?"

He turned his head and looked east.

There, the water of the Huaihe River is rolling eastward.

……

"Using the throne by killing the king and usurping the throne, I should not have ascended the throne. I would like to enshrine the son as the king, so as to inherit the legacy of the previous king and inherit the state of Chu!"

South of the Huai River, outside the city of Huaiyin.

Yin Xiangyan, the order of the state of Chu, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the young master Qi who had just arrived from Jiangdong in front of many Chu people.

Behind Xiang Yan, Jing Tong, Qu Mao and other generals who followed also knelt and kowtowed, and said respectfully: "We invite you to ascend the throne, so as to inherit the legacy of the previous king and inherit the state of Chu!"

Young Master Qi was stunned on the spot. He had guessed on the way with his troops, but guesses were nothing more than guesses. When he really saw Xiang Yan and the generals kneeling on the ground, asking him to ascend the throne of Chu, he still felt a sense of shame. Shocked.

"Ling Yin and all the generals please get up quickly."

Young Master Qi immediately stepped forward to help Xiang Yan, but said in his mouth: "Qi is a mediocre person. He left Qin and returned to Chu, only to return to the old country of the ancestors, and has no intention of ascending the throne. Now my brother is the king of Chu. It should be done with the courtesy of a minister. And at this time, there are Qin soldiers oppressing the country, we should all work together to fight against the Qin talents, An Neng will establish a new king, and let the Chu Kingdom be in vain! "

The son is really a wise king, and he is a thousand times better than the humble one.

Xiang Yan secretly sighed in his heart, since the first time he met Huaiyang last year, he had a good impression of Young Master Qi.

He is elegant and humble, speaks politely, and can resolutely abandon Qin's position and serve Jingchu. This kind of courage and loyalty to Chu already make him very admired.

Especially after comparing with the short-sighted internal strife and insidious suspicion, the son Qi became more and more wise in Xiang Yan's heart.

When Lu Chu wanted to seize his military power, Xiang Yan's first thought was that Lu Chu was fatuous and hopeless.

It is better to establish another new monarch to strengthen the country.

So Xiang Yan came, and he wanted to help establish a new king in Huainan, and then compete with the Qin people.

Seeing that Young Master Qi refused, Xiang Yan persuaded: "What Young Master said is of course golden and jade good words. It's just that now he is stupid and stupid, which has caused Chen Ying to suffer a disastrous defeat. The north of Huai River is no longer the land of Chu, and the flag of Qin is flying."

"The people of Qin occupy Huaibei, and they must cross the Huaihe River from Xiacai, and their troops will come to Shouchun. At that time, there will be a mediocre leader inside, and there will be no good generals outside. Shouchun will be an isolated city, and it will be able to withstand Wang Jian's army."

"From my point of view, within a few months, there must be news that Qin's army broke through the city and that he was captured. Now that he is dead, we must have a new king to gather the hearts of Jingchu. With this Huainan, Let the land of Jiangdong compete with the people of Qin again!"

Young Master Qi Moran, he knew that what Xiang Yan said was right, he knew a lot about Lu Chu when he was in Qin State, and he knew that this younger brother was a sinister and vicious person.

When he returned to Chu State, although it wasn't long, he could see it more clearly.

Negative Chu is not only sinister and vicious, but also a generation of mediocre masters, who are fatuous, short-sighted, and have no vision.

Compared with the King of Qin whom he had assisted, it was a stark difference.

With such a mediocre ruler in power, how long can the state of Chu be safe?
It's just that his son opened his bow and didn't turn his head back. Since he chose to return to Chu, there was only one way to go.

He silently obeyed the order of Chu Chu, went to Jiangdong, appeased the barbarians of Yue, worked conscientiously, and only wanted to contribute his strength to the survival of Chu State.

It's just... Chen Ying lost the battle after all!
After thinking about it for a while, Young Master Qi still shook his head and refused: "Qi will follow Ling Yin's arrangements for all matters of resisting the Qin Dynasty, but the matter of ascension to the throne still needs to be eased."

Xiang Yan was not annoyed when she saw that young master Qi declined.

The other party did not mention the matter of leading troops to serve the king and rescue Shouchun, and I think he agrees with his point of view, Shouchun is bound to perish.

It's just that the young master thinks it's not time to ascend the throne.

After he is defeated, he will agree to Xiang Yan's request.

"Since that's the case, I will follow the order of the son. I will do my best to resist the Qin people and use the entire Chu community!"

Xiang Yan bowed her hands and promised to welcome the young master into the city.

Seeing that Xiang Yan didn't continue to beg him to take the throne, Young Master Qi's face softened, and while walking with Xiang Yan to the city, he asked: "Ling Yin is a famous general of Chu, you can estimate how long Shouchun can last in front of the Qin army. "

Xiang Yan frowned. He estimated the strength and defense of Shouchun City in his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Shouchun City. Since Chunshen Jun was ordered by King Kaolie to build it, it has been more than ten years of non-stop construction. It has been repaired and strengthened, and it has become a mighty city, even if it is the giant artillery of the Qin army, it is difficult to break through the walls."

"In the city, there are [-] elite soldiers from Wang Zhierguang, and soldiers from Huaibei who are retreating. When besieging the city, they can recruit young and strong guards in the city, and raise tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if the outer city is destroyed, there is still a palace in the city to defend. Such a defense, in the face of To attack Wang Jian, there is no problem in sustaining it for at least two or three months."

Young Master Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It is very good to have two or three months. We can use this time to deploy a wide defense line in Huainan, and at the same time recruit Huainan's lords to come here, gather troops, and fight with us again." The people of Qin fought against each other."

After finishing speaking, Young Master Qi couldn't help but look sideways.

The Huai River comes from the west and flows in a rolling motion.

There is the direction of Shouchun, the capital of Chu.

It would be even better if his younger brother survived the Qin army's siege longer.
