Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 328, The Chu Kingdom ceded the land, the story that Zhao Yu and the prostitute had to tell
Yan Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief when Li Yuan personally admitted that he would spare Shouchun before the battle. He immediately took out a small flag from his arms and waved it in Shouchun's direction.

After the guard on the top of the city saw it, he looked at the exhausted people behind him who had been forcibly brought to guard the city, sighed softly in his heart, and then said
"Everyone put down their weapons and go home. The soldiers are ready and follow me out of the city to surrender."

Hearing the guard's words, everyone looked at him. These people seemed to be unable to believe the guard's words. The guard repeated his words again. Only then did the people and soldiers understand that the war was over. For a while, these people didn't know It's time to suffer the death of one's own country, or to be glad that one survived.

Under the control of the guards and soldiers, the people put down the weapons in their hands and dragged their tired bodies towards their homes. Some of them carried their relatives who died because of guarding the city, and walked while crying. .

Soon Shouchun's soldiers walked out of Shouchun City in an orderly manner, put down their weapons and armor in front of Wang Jian and Li Yuan.Li Yuan glanced at Wang Jian, Wang Jian nodded, and Li Yuan stepped forward on his horse and shouted

"Look and hold, the army will follow me into the city!"

"Ling Yi is mighty! Ling Yi is mighty!"

The soldiers of Li Yuan's army exploded in unison, and the vanity in Li Yuan's heart reached the peak when he heard the shouts of the soldiers.After the Chu army took care of the soldiers, Wang Jian and Li Yuan led the army into Shouchun City.

After arriving at the Palace of Chu, Li Yuan looked at the corpse sitting on the throne, and Li Yuan stepped forward and pushed his corpse down.

"Not everyone can take the position of king of Chu. Li Chu, Li Chu, don't worry, I will send your brother, Xiong Qi, to accompany you soon." Li Yuan looked at Ling Chu's corpse and said disdainfully.

Seeing the fallen Negium, Li Yuan sat on the throne of the King of Chu without any hesitation, rubbing his palms against the armrest of the throne, his eyes full of pride.

Seeing Li Yuan's appearance, Wang Jian frowned slightly but didn't say anything. He turned around and prepared to leave. The massacre of Qu Jingzhao's family was beyond his plan, and the military newspaper he sent back to Xianyang also needed to be corrected.

"Where is the general going?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Shouchun City is broken, but the father of the city is still there, and the army led by the head of the Jing family is also on the way. I will lead the army to eliminate them." Wang Jian said.

"Why bother the general with such a trivial matter, the head of the Jing family is just a grasshopper after autumn, just let me take someone there." Li Yuan said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, the smile on Wang Jian's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at Li Yuan with cold eyes. Li Yuan was startled by Wang Jian's sudden change of face, and only then did he realize that there was something wrong with what he said just now.

"Your Majesty Ling Yi has not forgotten the covenant between us, right? The Qin State will help you kill the traitors, except for Shouchun. Qin State owns all the land captured by the Qin Army. Is this what you said personally?" Wang Jian said coldly.

"Of course, the general is worrying too much. Of course I haven't forgotten the covenant between us." Li Yuan got up quickly and said with a smile.

"That's good, I still have military affairs, so I won't accompany you."

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left. Li Yuan looked at Wang Jian's figure with regret and fear at this moment. He was really too proud just now.Li Yuan was overly proud of Negium's suicide and surrender. He forgot that Qin was the main force attacking Negrum and Qu Jingzhao's family this time. Thinking that he wanted to break the contract, he turned around and attacked him.

More importantly, although the core of Qu Jingzhao's three families were all slaughtered by the negative cinder, the foundation of the father of the city is still there. If Wang Jian breaks the contract, Li Yuan knows that he will not even have a place to cry.

The conflict between Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao did not happen overnight. From the time when King Xiong Wan of Chu used Chun Shenjun to control Qu Jingzhao's three families, Li Yuan often acted as Chun Shenjun's pawn to attack the three families.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly lost the complacency he had just now, and he didn't care about enjoying the Chu Palace. He hurried back to his barracks to find his staff, and told about what happened in the Chu Palace just now.

"Lord Ling Yi, this is really an unwise move. The Qin army is only tens of thousands of people, and the logistics are difficult. Even if they go north to attack various cities, they will not be able to occupy too many cities. But now the words of Lord Ling Yi are likely to make Qin The country regrets it." One of the staff looked at Li Yuan and said with regret.

"But it's too late now, I don't know how sir can make up for it?" Li Yuan asked hastily.

"If you want Wang Jian to let go of this matter, I'm afraid you can only find a way through the compensation and cession of land. Your Excellency Ling Yi might as well cede Xincai, Chengfu, Mangcheng, Xiangcheng and other lands to Qin.

Starting from Pingxing, the Qin army broke through Fanyang, Sleeping City and other places along the way, and approached Shouchun, and the father of the city was also in his hands. The movements of Yang Duanhe, Xincai, Dun, Xiang, Yangling, Chengfu, Xinyang and other thirteen cities north of Juyang must be in the hands of Qin.

However, Master Ling Yi took the initiative to cede the thirteen cities to the north of Juyang, which was nothing more than a favor, and did not cause any loss to himself.As for the four cities of Mangcheng and Xiangcheng, they expressed Lord Lingyi's attitude and apologized to the Qin State, and the four cities are mostly mountainous, not rich, but for the Qin army, this is Bai's military exploits .Taking the thirteen cities to the north of Juyang as favors and the four cities of Mangxiang as the price, Wang Jian will definitely not care about this matter anymore. "The staff member went on to say.

Li Yuan's eyes lit up immediately at the staff's suggestion. Although it seemed that Li Yuan was going to give Qin a lot of land, the real ones were only the four cities of Mangxiang, and these four cities were just tasteless, and it was useless to keep them. It's a pity to discard it, and it's worth giving it to Qin Jun in exchange for Wang Jian's relief.

"Sir, you are really a great talent. When I welcome the king back, I will definitely recommend you as Zuo Yi." Li Yuan said while holding the staff's hand.

"Chen Tao is not a person who is greedy for vanity. He won't starve to death if he is appreciated by Master Ling Yi. Making suggestions is what we should do. Please stop talking about Zuo Yi's affairs." Staff Chen Tao said righteously Said.

Seeing such a virtuous staff, Li Yuan was even more moved, and immediately said

"Sir, don't refuse. Now there are thieves in the country and strong enemies outside. It is the time when talents are needed. This is the case. Just wait, sir." After speaking, Li Yuan did not wait for Chen Tao to refuse, and pulled out Take out your saber and cut your palm to make an oath.

After some sympathy between the principal and ministers, under Chen Tao's suggestion, Li Yuan went to the Qin army camp to look for Wang Jian again, and told about the plan to cede the land.Wang Jian glanced at Li Yuan and said

"This matter is not up to Wang to decide, please Ling Yi give Wang time to report to the king!"

"It's natural. Please also report to the King of Qin, the general, to show the friendship of our Chu State. Our Chu State is willing to be united with Qin State forever." Li Yuan said.

Wang Jian looked at Li Yuan with some surprise. He didn't know whether Li Yuan was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Chu and Qin will always be united. If he said this, Li Yuan might become a public enemy of Chu. Why is Chu so weak now? It's unbearable, but Qin State has made great efforts.Let's not talk about Zhang Yi lying to Chu, let's talk about King Zhaoxiang imprisoning King Chu, and how many people were killed by Bai Qi after capturing Yingdu.There is a blood feud between Qin and Chu. According to the character of Chu's dignitaries and people, if Li Yuan dares to say that he will always be united with Qin today, tomorrow someone from Chu will assassinate him.

But Wang Jian didn't remind Li Yuan either. He just decided to distance himself from Li Yuan. Wang Jian thought that Li Yuan was a smart person before, but now it seems that Li Yuan is too easy to get carried away. prone to accidents.

"This matter still needs the King's approval. I will write a military report to the King and ask Ling Yi to wait for some time. There are still rebels from Qu Jingzhao's three families in various places. The top priority is to clean up the rebels." Wang Jian said .

"It's natural."

Seeing that Wang Jian didn't intend to continue the conversation, Li Yuan didn't bother Wang Jian, and left with his hand.Li Yuan, who left the Qin army camp, thought about the conversation he had with Wang Jian just now, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Wang Jian didn't directly agree to him, Wang Jian decided to play the king of Qin. Can.

Thinking of Wang Jian's reminder, Li Yuan also knew that the most urgent task now is to eliminate all the remaining forces of Qu Jingzhao's family, and at the same time send people to Gusu to bring Xiong Han to Shouchun. Let the people of Chu believe that Xiong Han is the real king of Chu.

After returning to Daying, Li Yuan immediately arranged various tasks, and Wang Jian also sent someone to report the latest situation of Chu State back to Xianyang.

In the State of Wei, outside Daliang City, the flags of the Qin Army were flying. Wei Jun on the top of the city looked nervously at the Qin Army below, and Lian Po stood on the top of the city and looked at the Qin Army nervously.

"It seems that the farmers and Renzong have failed." Lian Po said in a low voice.

Looking at the Qin army below, Lian Po can only pin his hopes on the Yan army now. The walls of Daliang City are high and thick, the food and grass in the city are sufficient, and there are [-] defenders. Together with the guards and the people in the city, it is enough to resist the Qin army for half a year. above.

Looking to the north, Lian Po always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I hope Li Mu can succeed, relying on the Yan army to counterattack the Qin army is too risky." Lian Po said in a low voice.

Zhao Guo, in the prime minister's residence.

Guo Kai looked at the stern-faced Soul Zhu in front of him and immediately cried out in his heart.

"Mr. Hun, why did you come to my house today? Right now, the Kingdom of Zhengzhi is mourning, and I can't wait to drink. Please don't blame me for being negligent." Guo Kai said with a smile.

"Heh~ Guo Xiang is very proud recently. I came here today to tell Guo Xiang that the friendship between Guo Xiang and us is over." After speaking, Soul Candle turned and left.

Seeing that his God of Wealth and the future life-saving talisman were about to leave like this, Guo Kai immediately yelled in his heart that it was not good, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Soul Zhu's hand, saying

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hun, what happened here? Please tell me, Mr. Hun, I really don't know where I offended Mr. Hun?"

Looking at Guo Kai's confused face, Soul Candle said with a livid face

"Doesn't Guo Xiang know that Zhao Guo borrowed Yan Guo to let Yan's army support Wei Guo?"

"What!? Zhao Guo used Yan Guo? When did this happen? I don't know at all!" Guo Kai said in shock.

Looking at Guo Kai's appearance, Soul Zhu was also a little dazed, because Guo Kai's appearance was not fake at all, but Guo Kai, as Zhao Guo's prime minister, how could he not know about Zhao Guo's borrowing from Yan Guo?
Seeing Soul Candle's doubts, Guo Kai quickly explained

"I have been guarding the mausoleum of the late king for more than a month. I don't know anything about the recent court affairs."

Guo Kai was stunned at this moment, he seemed to understand the reason for this matter, a minister reported a month ago that he was a close minister of the late king, and he was loved by the late king, so he should guard the mausoleum for the king.Although it is a hard job to guard the mausoleum of the former king, it is very beneficial to the improvement of one's own reputation, and it only takes one month.Guo Kai discussed with Zhao Wangqian and the prostitute that day, and then asked Zhao Wangqian to agree, and then Guo Kai set off to guard the mausoleum. In order to express his piety, Guo Kai also extended it for half a month. Not close to wine, he went to the ancestral temple every day to offer incense to Zhao Wangyan.

After Guo Kai told this matter, Soul Zhu immediately realized that someone had deliberately transferred Guo Kai away, in order to let Zhao Guo lend a way to Yan Guo.

"After Guo Xiang left, who is in charge of the affairs of the court?" Hun Zhu asked, Zhao Wangqian's ignorance of political affairs is known to everyone in Zhao Guochao, and it is usually handed over to the courtiers. Although Zhao Wangqian relies on Guo Kai , but he also knows the principle of checks and balances. Although Guo Kai is said to have unlimited scenery, he cannot be regarded as completely covering the sky with one hand. After all, Guo Kai has no military power.

"If my guess is correct, it should be Zongzheng, Lord Chunping and Zhao Yi." Guo Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing that it was Zhao Yu, Hunzhu didn't feel any surprise.

Although Zhao Yu and Li Mu belonged to the same faction, before Zhao Wangyan died, Zhao Yu and Li Mu were die-hard supporters of Gong Zijia. Unfortunately, no matter how much they supported Gong Zijia, they were not as useful as the ear of the prostitute.It is reasonable to say that Zhao Yi was the mainstay of the former Gongzijia faction, and the whole Zhao Kingdom knew that Gongzi Jia and Zhao Wangqian, who was still a son, had a fight for the heir. Eliminate your own threats.

As a supporter of Gong Zijia, Zhao Yu is not to say that he is hated by Zhao Wangqian, but it can also be said that he can't wait to kill the other party, and Guo Kai left the court, Zhao Wangqian handed over power to Zhao Yu, naturally it was not Zhao Wangqian He valued Zhao Yu's ability, but because of the things that Zhao Yu and the prostitute had to say.

In terms of seniority, Zhao Yu should be regarded as Zhao Wangqian's false father.Zhao Yu was in power in the court, and Li Mu was an active anti-Qin faction. Together, Zhao Guo would naturally borrow Yan Guo. Thinking about this, Hunzhu and Guo Kai understood what was going on.

"It's true that I misunderstood Guo Xiang, but it is a fact that Guo Xiang and Zhao Guo borrowed Yan Guo. The whole Qin State was furious. Now that Daliang is besieged, Wei State is just dying. I heard that the king intends to let Meng Wu and Feng go. Ji and Dunwei led an army of 40 to attack Zhao State, and they will take revenge on Zhao State with the power of the whole country." Soul Zhu said.

"Mr. Hun, are you kidding me? Now Qin is fighting on three fronts. Chu, Daliang, and Yan have 40 troops." It is also impossible for Kai to support Zhao Wangyan from an unfavored son to Zhao Wang.

"Does Guo Xiang know that the war in Chu State is over? Lord Changping's army was encircled and annihilated in Shangcai by our generals Sima Su and Yang Duanhe from Qin State. General Wang Jian and Li Yuan besieged Shouchun. Breaking through is only a matter of time. And Feng Quji and Dunwei's army have already set up an ambush, waiting for the Yan army to sneak in. As for Wei, Guo Xiang will watch it, and everything will stop within three days. At that time, Qin will take revenge on Zhao The time of the country!" Soul Zhu said with a smile on his face.

After saying that, Hunzhu left directly without waiting for Guo Kai's reaction. Guo Kai was not incompetent, and threats alone could not scare him. The Qin army's actions were not over yet, and they were not in a hurry about Guo Kai's actions. After all, they were going to To attack Yan State, we must wait until the end of the war in Wei State, and the longer it takes now, the more anxious Guo Kai will be in the end, the better it will be for them.
