Yingdu.

If compared with the capital city a few decades ago, the city has not yet recovered, but Chu Wang Yuan has already moved the capital of Chu from Xicheng to here this spring.

Why did you move your capital here? Everyone's hearts were very clear that it was because Chu Wang Yuan had already feared in the successive defeats, and he was worried that the Wei State would continue to attack Xicheng close to the Wei State in the future, so he immediately moved the capital after obtaining the consent of the two ministers, Chunshenjun Huang Xie and Shangzhu State Jingyang.

Since the Qin State conquered this place and established the Southern County here, this Yingdu has been the capital of the Southern County of the Qin State.

But the capital is obviously far from enough to be compared with the capital of a country, and when the Qin army captured this place, all the rare treasures in the palace city of Yingdu were captured and looted back to Xianyang by the Qin people, and when the people of Chu recaptured it decades later, the palace city of Yingdu was basically dilapidated.

Fortunately, after several years of repairs, the current Miyagi Chu Wangyuan is actually quite satisfied, as long as it can keep him away from the damn battlefield, away from the threat of the Koreans and Wei people, it will be enough.

But even if the capital is moved, there are not a lot of troubles.

Chu Wang Yuan has a very troublesome thing recently, that is, the question of whether the state of Chu should send troops immediately in this war.

The two important ministers of the Chu State, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie and Shangzhu Guo Jingyang, broke out a very fierce quarrel in front of Chu Wang Yuan at this moment.

Huang Xie's voice was very high, so that the entire hall could hear it clearly: "We must immediately send troops to support Zhao Guo!" Otherwise, once the Zhao State is defeated, then Han Wei will definitely unite to go south, and the day when my Great Chu will destroy the country will be close at hand. ”

As soon as Huang Xie's words came out, all the Chu monarchs and ministers in the hall were immediately shocked.

It is impossible for anyone present to be indifferent to the word "annihilation".

Chu Wangyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and tried to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Chun Shenjun, things haven't been so bad yet, right?" ”

Huang Xie shook his head and said to Chu Wangyuan in front of him: "The king doesn't know, things in the world are even worse than what the minister said!" From this point of view, Lian Po has been defeated by the Qi people, if Pang Xuan is also defeated by the Wei army, then the Zhao State will undoubtedly be defeated. Without the support of Zhao State, the minister dared to ask the king, how should he deal with the offensive of the Han and Wei coalition forces? ”

Huang Xie looked obviously really anxious, and even his own family's king, Chu Wang Yuan, had to collide.

In fact, it has been almost two months since the war between Zhao and Wei began, and during these two months, Huang Xie has been trying his best to advocate immediately sending troops to help Zhao and stabbing Korea and Wei from behind.

In Huang Xie's view, only in this way can we help Zhao Guo to the greatest extent, so that Zhao Guo can relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield and gain hope for victory.

Chu and Zhao are now in the same boat.

But so many days have passed, and Chu Wangyuan has not agreed to Huang Xie's request.

Why? Because Chu Wang Yuan was frightened by the failures in the past few years, he was no longer the king of Chu who was afraid of the sky and the earth during the Battle of Changping, but became an ostrich monarch who only wanted to be his king behind closed doors.

Seeing that the days passed day by day, and the situation on the entire battlefield became more and more confusing, Huang Xie was anxious and angry in his heart, and finally there was the scene where he spoke against Chu Wangyuan before.

As soon as Huang Xie's words came out, he directly made the face of King Yuanding of Chu red, and he couldn't speak for a long time, so that the rest of the ministers of Chu couldn't help but look sideways.

But as soon as Huang Xie's words came out, some people were not happy, and they only heard Jing Yang of the Shangzhu State of Chu on the side say without yin or yang: "Chun Shenjun, you keep saying that you want to send troops, this is simple to touch, but I also want to ask, where does the armor of this army come from?" Where does the food and grass come from? If these problems are not solved, how do you let us send troops? ”

Obviously, Jingyang is the faction that opposes sending troops.

If it weren't for the support of the three major families headed by Jingyang, it would be impossible for Chu Wangyuan to resist Huang Xie's pressure in the past two months and insist on not sending troops.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Xie is very uninterested in Jingyang, and it can be said that the old grudge between the two sides has not gone away and a new feud has been added, and they both can't wait to step on each other to the ground forever.

Huang Xie sneered, and said to Jingyang in front of him: "Shangzhu Kingdom, as a leading general, you don't dare to win for the king when you encounter something, but drag me back here, which can be regarded as a strange news in the world." If we don't have armor, we will try to gather as much as possible, and if we don't have food and grass, we can eat the enemy as long as we invade the territory of Wei, do you have any other problems? ”

Jingyang's face was red when Huang Xie said, but his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately said again: "Okay, even if you can solve these problems, then I still want to ask where did you come from?" ”

Huang Xie snorted heavily, and said to Jingyang in front of him: "This soldier and horse are naturally going to be recruited from all over the country!" ”

"Requisition?" Jing Yang also sneered and said to Huang Xie: "Chun Shenjun, you don't want to think about it, how many places in the current Great Chu can let you recruit soldiers?" ”

Jingyang is also telling the truth, the current state of Chu can be said to be full of wars, and the loss of Jiujiang County has completely cut off the connection with the eastern land, and the resources and population that can be mobilized are not much smaller than at the peak.

The current state of Chu can't even gather 100,000 troops.

Huang Xie glared at Jing Yang fiercely, and said to Jing Yang: "Naturally, there is a way, but I don't know if Shangzhu Guo dares to listen!" ”

When Jingyang heard this, it was naturally impossible to show weakness, and said directly: "Why don't you dare?" Even though it is! ”

Huang Xie nodded, a hint of cunning light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Shangzhu Country, if I remember correctly, the Rujing clan alone will have more than three thousand, plus the Jing clan has many fiefdoms, and there must be at least 50,000 people and slaves, and one or two hundred thousand of these 50,000 people must be selected to join the army, it must not be difficult, right?" ”

Jing Yang didn't expect Huang Xie to say this, the whole person blushed, and said angrily at Huang Xie: "Those are all the property of the Jing family, and I am not the only one who can have the final say!" ”

"Really?" Huang Xie sneered very contemptuously, and said to Jing Yang: "Aren't you the current patriarch of the Jing clan?" In this way, you, the patriarch, are simply decorations? Now that the national disaster is at hand, the Jing clan, as a public family, doesn't even have the courage to send troops to save the Chu State from danger? ”

Huang Xie's series of bombs were thrown out, which directly made Jing Yang's face colorless, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he opened his mouth and said to Huang Xie: "Chun Shenjun, don't just talk about the Jing clan!" Your fiefdom is a full twelve counties, which is larger than all the fiefdoms of the Jing clan combined! Why don't you mention that you are sending troops? ”

Huang Xie smiled contemptuously and looked at Jingyang with idiot-like eyes: "Shangzhu Kingdom has forgotten that my fiefdoms are all in Jiujiang and Huiji County!" As long as the motherland can send someone to contact Jiujiang County or Huiji County, then even if I recruit everyone in the fief into the army, what does it matter? ”

Jingyang was speechless.

Huang Xie no longer bothered to care about Jingyang, but turned his head to bow to the head of Chu Wang Yuan, and said very earnestly: "King, the minister can understand the king's previous hesitation. But what the minister wanted to tell the king was that the time was now at hand, and if the king did not send troops again, then I am afraid that there would be no chance to recover Jiujiang County and other territories lost to Han and Wei. ”

Chu Wangyuan was originally a little hesitant, but as soon as he heard Huang Xie say that he had the opportunity to recover the lost land, his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly asked Huang Xie, "What does Chun Shenjun mean by this?" ”

Huang Xie Zhengse said: "Now that Zhao Jun has broken the Koreans in Shangdang County, it proves that the Koreans are not enough to match Zhao Guo. And according to the intelligence of the spies, the front line of Wei is also in danger now, and it may be broken through by the Zhao army at any time. In this way, then Zhao Guo's victory this time is already a foregone conclusion. If the king wanted Zhao to order Han and Wei to return the lost territories of Great Chu after the war, he would have to join the war at this time. ”

Jingyang said hesitantly: "You are still saying that Zhao Guo is in danger just now!" ”

Huang Xie snorted and said, "That's on the premise that Da Chu doesn't participate in the war!" And even if Da Chu does not send troops, Zhao State is not bound to be defeated! ”

Huang Xie's words were obviously a bit exaggerated, but Chu Wangyuan had indeed listened to them.

If Chu State makes a move now, then it can be regarded as a send-off in the snow, but if you wait, when Zhao Guo's victory is decided, Chu State's move will only be the icing on the cake.

The affection of sending charcoal in the snow is undoubtedly very heavy, but the icing on the cake is dispensable.

Having said that, Chu Wangyuan was still a little hesitant, and said to Huang Xie: "Chun Shenjun, you should also understand that the current Great Chu can't afford to lose any battle. ”

Looking at Chu Wangyuan, who looked like a frightened bird in front of him, Huang Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still cheered up and said to Chu Wangyuan: "King, it is precisely because of this that you must put it to death and live in the future!" ”

Looking at Huang Xie, who spoke earnestly, Chu Wangyuan's heart was shaken even more violently.

After a long time, Chu Wangyuan suddenly turned his gaze to Jingyang on the side, and said in a deep voice to Jingyang: "Shangzhu Kingdom, if the widows need to send troops, I wonder if Shangzhu Kingdom can recruit warriors to help?" ”

The people present understood very well that the so-called warriors were actually the doormen, slaves, and people of the Jing clan that Huang Xie had just mentioned.

Although Jingyang wanted to refuse, but now he has been forced into a corner by Huang Xie, if he doesn't say a word now, then he must not know that the big hat of serving the country will definitely be immediately buttoned to Huang Xie's head.

Therefore, Jingyang turned his heart to Chu Wangyuan in front of him and said: "If the king wants to send troops, then the minister is willing to levy all the forces that can be levied to help the king, and the king must help!" ”

Just after Jingyang's voice fell, the heads of the other two major families next to him also spoke, saying that the Zhao family and the Qu family also wanted to serve the country, but there was obviously awkwardness in these words.

Chu Wang Yuan didn't care about that much, his eyes actually glowed with a little light, and he said to the ministers in front of him: "Since this is the case, then take Chun Shenjun as the main general and Shangzhu Guo as the deputy general, and gather all the troops to attack the Wei State!" ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Wangyuan actually stood up, bowed deeply to Huang Xie and Jingyang, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "The life and death of the Chu State is up to the two of you!" ”
