Chapter 1856 Keeping People Under the Knife
The corners of Xu Chang's eyes twitched slightly, but Ximen Yi had already said to Chu Huan: "Li Yin, you quickly send someone back to Tongzhou to report to the King of Chu, and say that King Ren is heroic and generous, and in order to destroy the great cause of Qin, he has promised to form an alliance with us, and support us with 30,000 stone grains and grass, and send someone over there to prepare to respond." We waited until the food was ready, and then we went back with the food team. ”
Chu Huan got up, said yes, and was about to leave, Xu Chang had already said, "Wait!" ”
Chu Huan arched his hand and said, "What else does King Ren command?" ”
Xu Chang groaned slightly, and finally asked, "Lord Ximen, could it be that your Northwest Army only thinks about defense?" ”
"Nioh, you've probably heard that in private, many people call our Northwest Army a group of Hanako." Ximen Yi smiled bitterly: "Although this is not true, the truth is really true." Although the capital of Qin has fallen, there is still strength in the hands of Dingwu, since we can't control the enemy, we can only seek self-protection first. ”
"Then do you know the truth of raising tigers?" Xu Chang had a cold face: "You are recuperating, and the Qin State is also recuperating, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for you." ”
"It's also forced to be helpless." Ximen Yi said: "Why doesn't the king of Chu want to fight over, but the military family is a major matter, and he can't be desperate, if he doesn't have sufficient preparations, he rashly uses the soldiers, won't he let the soldiers die in vain?" The king of Chu would never take the risk of gambling. ”
Xu Chang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "500,000 stone grain, I have no heart, but if it is 200,000 stone grain, can the King of Chu launch an offensive against Yunshan?" ”
"200,000 stone is still a little tight." Ximen Yi said seriously: "With my understanding of the King of Chu, if there is no 300,000 stone of grain as a backing, the King of Chu will never use soldiers." ”
"Three hundred thousand stones?" Xu Chang had a cold face and said: "Destroying Qin is a big deal, this king can provide you with 250,000 stone of grain, of which 50,000 stone is considered a gift from this king to the king of Chu, and the remaining 200,000 stones are lent to you by this king." ”
Ximen Yi said: "Nioh, is this too embarrassing for you?" ”
"In order to destroy the great cause of destroying the country, this king does not account for personal gains and losses." Xu Chang said in a deep voice: "But this king's ugly words are ahead, every grain in Jinling Cang is used to destroy Qin, these 250,000 stone grain, this king can provide it, but after the grain is delivered, the Northwest Army must launch an offensive against Yunshan, this king's grain, not to let the Northwest Army hold your city and pool, Lord Ximen, you can do it?" ”
Ximen Yi said with a smile: "King Ren, if these grains are really delivered, the first one to fight is the King of Chu." The king of Chu is not a complacent person, otherwise he would not have gone out of the customs, with these grains, with the courage of the king of Chu, he will definitely lead his troops north and fight to the death with the Qin soldiers. ”
"I hope so." Xu Chang said coldly: "This king is watching here, but if the grain is delivered, the Northwest Army has no sign of sending troops, and this king will not agree at that time." There was a chill in his eyes, a hint of threat.
His meaning was also clear, if the Northwest Army took grain but did not send troops, then Jinling County would go north and become an enemy of the Northwest Army.
Ximen Yi picked up the wine cup and said: "Nioh is the most important thing, he has the world in mind, he is selfless, and he is admirable. ”
Chu Huan had already picked up the wine cup, Xu Chang didn't seem to be in a very good mood, but he also picked up the wine glass, and the three of them all drank it all.
At this time, I heard footsteps outside, and a general in armor appeared outside the door, at this time the sky was already bright, and the morning sun shone on the person's armor, flashing with cold light, scorching, but the person who came was Fei Qing, the general under Xu Chang.
Seeing this, Xu Chang got up and walked over, Fei Qing leaned close to Xu Chang's ear and whispered a few words, Xu Chang sneered: "Bring them up!" ”
After Fei Qing went down, Xu Chang turned around and said with a smile: "The so-called good gifts come in pairs, in addition to food, this king will give the king of Chu another big gift." ”
Chu Huan and Ximen Yi were both puzzled, got up at the same time, walked to the door, and soon, they heard a voice shouting: "Xu Chang, you fatherless and kingless traitor, you dare to rebel against the imperial court, you must not die!" ”
Chu Huan immediately frowned, this voice was very familiar to him, it was Xue Huai'an.
Outside the courtyard gate, dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, in a circle around the spacious courtyard, randomly from outside the courtyard gate, a group of Jinling disease pushed a few people into the courtyard, by the light of the morning sun, Chu Huan saw clearly, those people were tied by ropes, looking quite wolf, the first person was Xue Huai'an, disheveled, not even wearing a crown and hat, his mouth was scolding loudly, followed by Xue Huai'an, but it was Wang Weiyang, who was a god-clothed hundred households, Wang Weiyang's face was cold, and his lips were closed, His eyes were unusually cold.
Next to Xue Huai'an and the others, the Jinling soldiers were all holding spears, and the spear tips were pressed against the bodies of these people, waiting for a rash move and immediately stabbing to death.
Chu Huan suddenly understood in his heart, although they were all envoys, but the treatment was obviously ice and fire, when Xu Chang sent someone to welcome Ximen Yi with his own carriage, he sent someone to arrest Xue Huai'an and his party from Hexi.
Although Xue Huai'an has guards, and even three god-clothed guards, after all, there are only a few people, and Weiling is Xu Chang's territory, not to mention that it is a hundred households in divine clothes, even if it is a thousand households in divine clothes, it is impossible to resist the Jinling soldiers.
"Xue Huai'an, you are so bold." Xu Chang reprimanded sharply: "How can this king spare you if you dare to stir up trouble and sow discord in this king's territory?" ”
When Xue Huai'an heard it at first glance, he didn't know what Xu Chang meant, but he said loudly: "Xu Chang, no matter what tricks you play, the official will come to the official at every qiē, so you don't have to embarrass these guards." If you want to kill, even if you kill me, you let them go, they are only the guards of the official, if you don't even let them go, the official will not spare you. ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he appreciated in his heart, although Xue Huai'an was a literati and was quite delicate when he was an official, but when he reached the big joint, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but rather a bit of a backbone.
"Lord Ximen, this is the second gift this king gave to the king of Chu." Xu Chang turned his head and whispered to Ximen Yi: "They are sowing discord here, wanting to let this king and the king of Chu kill each other, this king will naturally not spare them, in order to show the sincerity of the alliance between this king and the king of Chu, this king will cut off Xue Huai'an's head and hand it over to you to send to the king of Chu, so that everyone in the world knows that this king and Hexi Dingwu are life and death, and they don't share the sky!" He turned around and shouted, "Cut off the heads of these people to this king!" ”
"Xu Chang, you despicable villain." Xue Huai'an scolded sharply: "If you want to kill the officials, don't kill them." ”
The Jinling soldiers on the side were in accordance with Xu Chang's order, and they were going to hold Xue Huaian and others down and kneel, and cut off their heads, but at this time, they heard a loud shout, only to see Wang Weiyang suddenly lowered his head, rushed forward, and hit a Jinling soldier close to Xue Huai'an with his head.
This collision fought with all his strength, and the momentum sank, and the Jinling soldier screamed "ouch", while retreating, who knew that behind him was a companion with a spear, and he didn't have time to collect the gun, and the spear had already penetrated the body of the Jinling soldier.
The soldiers in the four places were taken aback at first, and then they were furious, and some people were already shouting: "Stab them to death!" ”
Wang Weiyang shouted: "The assassin has nothing to do with us!" ”
Chu Huan frowned slightly, at this point, in fact, he was not afraid of Wang Weiyang exposing his identity, even if Xu Chang knew his identity, he might not dare to act rashly, but things would always become more troublesome, but Xu Chang had the intention to plant the assassination on Xue Huai'an and others, but he was worried about another incident, and said sharply: "Kill this king!" ”
At this time, several other guards behind Xue Huai'an knew that they would definitely die, but they were also fighting to the death, several people followed the example of Wang Weiyang, bowed their heads and collided, but the Jinling soldiers were spears together, and in the midst of the random guns, several guards were stabbed one after another, including the two god-clothed captains, who were all stabbed like hedgehogs in the blink of an eye, and when the spears were pulled out, they all fell in a pool of blood.
Wang Weiyang's face was pale, but he was in front of Xue Huai'an, the Jinling soldiers were living around, more than a dozen spears were aimed at the two of them, Wang Weiyang shouted: "Who dares to touch me?" ”
His voice was cold and amazing, and the Jinling soldiers were a little afraid for a while.
Xue Huai'an closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Wang Baihu, it is the fault of this official that affects you, hey!" ”
Fei Qing was already shouting beside him: "Don't do it yet!" ”
The Jinling soldiers did not hesitate anymore, and they were about to stab with their guns, but at this moment, they heard a cold voice say: "Stop!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and looked at the sound, but the person who cheered was Chu Huan, although most of the soldiers didn't know Chu Huan, but when they saw Chu Huan standing next to Xu Chang, they didn't continue to stab him.
Xu Chang frowned, but Chu Huan took a step forward and said softly: "King Ren, as the saying goes, the two countries fight each other, and if they don't kill them, we have seen King Ren's determination to the Qin State, but if even Xue Huai'an is killed, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of King Ren?" ”
Xu Chang didn't care, and sneered: "This king killed the envoys of the Qin State, and the people of the world know it, so they will only applaud." ”
Ximen Yi knew that Chu Huan wanted to keep Xue Huai'an, and immediately said: "King Ren, others can kill it, but this Xue Huai'an really shouldn't be killed." ”
"Oh?" Xu Chang frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
"King Ren knows that this Xue Huai'an has some friendship with the King of Chu." Ximen Yi lowered his voice and said: "Back then, the Qin State sent an envoy to Xiliang, the main envoy was this Xue Huai'an, but the deputy envoy was our King of Chu, in fact, the King of Chu told us many times that I took great care of him at the beginning, and if I had the opportunity, I would repay Xue Huai'an." The king of Chu is a person who values love and righteousness, if King Ren kills him here, the king of Chu may not feel good when he learns about it. ”
Xu Chang's brows tightened, but he also knew that this was true, Chu Huan and Xue Huai'an went to Xiliang together, and the world knew about it, thinking that the friendship between these two people was really not shallow?
"King Ren, in my humble opinion, it is better to hand over Xue Huai'an to us and bring it back to the King of Chu." Ximen Yi said: "Whether the king of Chu kills or releases, the king of Chu is in charge, but the king of Ren handed over this person to the king of Chu, but the king of Chu owes the king of Ren a favor, you should know that the king of Chu is a person who will repay his kindness, so!" ”――
