Liujun and Lu Jun returned to their military camp, and at this time, Qu Yangjun and the others were already waiting for the two of them.

Seeing the two returning, Zhong Lijun immediately asked, "Liujun, Lu Jun, what did Ling Yin say?" ”

Liujun shook his head with an ugly face and said: "Ling Yin asked the two of me to make meritorious contributions, if I can make a contribution in this battle, I can intercede with the king for the two of us." ”

Liao Jun heard the meaning of the words, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Ling Yin has already reported this matter to the king?" ”

Lu Jun sighed: "It's me who is slacking, the king has many ears and eyes, where do you need to make Yin Yu report!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were all shocked, and they instantly understood what Lu Jun was talking about.

Then, everyone thought of Xunjun and others who had been exterminated not long ago, and their hearts were cold, no one knew how many spies of the King of Chu were in their territory at this moment.

However, you don't have to think about it to know that there are definitely not one or two people who report to the King of Chu.

Although they don't know who is the spy who knows Beiya, but the assassin history composed of music officials a few years ago, and Ling Yin, who has just become a feudal monarch in various places, must have a connection with the king of Chu.

"Alas!" Zhong Lijun's face was a little melancholy, and he sighed: "How difficult it is to work under the king. Fighting hard to kill the enemy, the king doubted our loyalty, and sent Ling Yin to us, weakening our rights. If there is a slight relaxation, the thunder will descend immediately, and the light will be reprimanded, and the heavy will be killed. If you don't use things effectively, you will not escape death, and you will seize the title and reclaim the land.

It's too mean for the king to take me and wait! ”

When Lu Jun heard this, he immediately burst into tears and couldn't control himself.

Seeing this, Qu Yangjun hurriedly asked, "Lu Jun, why are you doing this?" ”

Lu Jun hid his face and wiped away his tears and said: "Qu Yangjun, I cry for my fate, I am sad for the bleak future, and I am sad for the future of the Chu State." In the past, there was nothing to do in the next few years, and within a few years of his accession, he encountered a fire in the granary of the State of Qi, and the king deliberately raised the price of grain in the State of Chu in order to prevent the grain of the State of Chu from flowing into the State of Qi.

At that time, Zai Xia did not know that this was the king's strategy, and thought that the time had come to serve the country, so he sold most of the food in his family to Taifu, so as to destroy the king's blockade of the country. Afterwards, he used double the price of the income and spent most of the family's savings in exchange for the king's understanding. ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't know how to persuade him, after all, what Lu Jun and the others did at that time was too conspicuous, which made the king of Chu angry.

Moreover, the king of Chu did not directly punish him for his disposal afterwards, but only borrowed a batch of grain from Lu Jun and others, and returned it after the autumn harvest.

It's just the price difference that made Lu Jun, who was nearly empty in the granary, suffer a big loss.

At this time, Lu Jun said sadly: "The matter of borrowing grain is counted as taking the blame for yourself, but after that, the king fought against the country for many years, and I and other feudal monarchs had to contribute money and food for the war every time, and after ten years of war, not only the granary was empty, but even the money was almost exhausted." And the people of the territory are all tired, and the fields under his rule are also overgrown with weeds because they have not been cleaned for many years.

In particular, the First War of Annihilation of Vietnam and the subsequent war of aggression against various countries lasted for more than two years.

After the end of the war, even Zai Xia already felt that money and food were tight, and the armor on his body had been worn for three consecutive years, the carriage had been used for five consecutive years, and the clothes of the king had also been worn for ten consecutive years.

It's not about being thrifty, it's really about being shy.

Lao Ziyun, there will be a disaster year after the soldiers, even I, the feudal king, are still like this, let alone the people under my rule. ”

Saying that, Lu Jun shook his head, and said compassionately: "Before, the king announced that he would be exempt from taxes in the country for one year, and I thought that the king had lost his way and planned to give the people time to recuperate.

Therefore, in response to the king's call, he took advantage of this rare opportunity to recruit the people to build canals, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year.

I don't want to, just started to build the canal in Xia, and the king over there once again issued an edict to recruit troops across the country for the sake of Nanzheng Bashu.

After receiving the king's edict, he violated the king's edict and did not immediately let the people put down their hoes and take up arms to defend the Qi country, which was the fault of the king, and the king wanted to punish me, and I also admitted it.

It's just that the people are innocent! With such a reckless force, where is the way out for my Chu State? ”

When everyone heard this, they were touched a lot.

If it is said that in the previous battle of Vaqi, everyone still gained a little, then starting from the attack on Xue Di, Xue Di was given to the King of Song, and all the monarchs gained very little, and they could not make ends meet.

Especially in the battle of destroying Yue, everyone fought desperately with Wei on the front line, and as a result, the king of Chu destroyed Yue in a battle, and swallowed the results of the destruction of Yue alone, and they didn't even drink the soup.

Then, in order to resist the Qi State, everyone gathered the army in Huaishui for a year and a half.

It has only been a long time, and everyone has gathered in Huaishui to resist Qi and Wei.

To tell the truth, this kind of resistance war, which has no profit at all and requires troops, money, and food, is all resistant.

Thinking about it, the account was gloomy for a while.

Originally, there were still people who came to see the liveliness of the Six Monarchs Lu Jun, but at this moment, under Lu Jun's narration, everyone's hearts were heavy.

Lu Jun is miserable, but he is also fifty steps and a hundred steps, which is not much better.

At this time, Qu Yangjun said with a lonely face: "Yes, Lu Jun said the voice of the old man, the king is so reckless, it is a blessing and a curse for my Chu State."

Now that the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei are united, Zhao has betrayed, and the attitude of Song is unclear. Under such circumstances, the king still had no intention of retreating, and was determined to fight a decisive battle with Qin in Nanzheng, not only to fight against the world with the strength of a country, but also to capture Nanzheng Bashu.

So, and what can I do about it? ”

When Shang Jun heard this, a resentment appeared on his face, remembering that during this time, Ling Yin, with the support of the king, began to fight for power in the territory, thus clashing with him one after another.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel angry. Then, he looked coldly in the direction of his military camp, as if he had seen the Ling Yin who was brought by him through the layers of military tents, and a murderous intent couldn't help but appear in his eyes, smiled, and said in a strange tone: "I don't know why do you think the king has such confidence and dares to use one country against the world?" ”

Zhong Lijun frowned and said: "It should be the strength of my Chu State, since Xuanwei, my Chu State has fought with various countries, and it can be said that there are more victories and fewer defeats, and every time the king meets with various countries, he is respected as the leader of the alliance by all countries, which can be seen." ”

Shang Jun said with a smile: "Yes, it is precisely because there are many victories and few defeats that the king will fight endlessly year after year." In the following opinion, as long as our Chu State continues to maintain its victory, then the pace of the king's foreign conquest will not stop.

On the contrary, if the king suffers the defeat of the Six Kingdoms in the Qin invasion more than ten years ago, I am afraid that the king will stop fighting for several years like last time. ”
