Chapter 18 Worry

The dispute over the prince of Chu State was paid attention to the attention of all countries. Not to mention the officials, even the city knew that this Taimiao Festival was to establish the prince for the divination. However, the past three days of divination were not achieved, and public opinion was surging for a while and there were many different opinions.

Shouying was built by the water, and the pond was dug into the camp. The canals in the city were intertwined and connected with each other. To the south of the big market behind the Shouying Palace, a row of street market flags hanging high and lively. This is a wine shop selling wine. The people of Chu regarded the east as the east, and the wine shop on the east side was often visited by noble officials. Here are drums, singing and dancing, six-beat shooting operas, pitying people and fake ladies, and extremely elegant. It is said that when the King of Chu was happy, he would leave the palace to drink two ranks, or even drink with the guests in the wine shop and get drunk with the common people;

The west side is not so elegant. Most of the guests are peddlers and barristers. Here they play the piano, jiu, drums, cocks, dogs, and dogs. It is a mess. But no matter how smoky, the wine is cheaper than the East Street. The strongest Chuli is only more than fifty dollars per bucket, and the worst turbid fruit wine with a jealousy smell is only twenty-five dollars.

The tired people drink wine and enjoy getting drunk; the frustrated people get sad, but the more they drink, the more they get sad. Fortunately, there are many debaters in the wine shop, and the strange stories of the countries and the palace gossip can always bring some fun. However, in recent months, the matter of the prince's choice of tyrant has become a menstrual topic in the wine shop. Some people stand on the side of Prince Jing, thinking that Prince Jing builds an unseen car of Chu and is the strongest crossbow of all countries. In fact, the sage king descends to earth and should be made the crown prince; but in recent waves of auspicious auspiciousness came to the world, and everyone thinks that this is the god who is warning the world that the strong prince should be made the crown prince, otherwise God will definitely bring disaster to Chu. Every time at this time, someone mentions the difficulties of Yingdu in the past.

"At that time, everyone in Yingdu fought for the people, and the hearts of the people became a city. The Qin people were not allowed to pull out the food and fodder, and the army would retreat. However, the Qin people had a lot of food and fodder, and the water transport was endless. They demolished houses and built canals, and used water to rush the city. The city collapsed over time. At that time, Yingdu was like a pond, and floating corpses were blocked by the city. The smell was thirty miles away..."

A bowl of turbid wine and tears, the old lame man with white hair nagged about the old story of Bai Qi Baying forty years ago, saying the cruelty of the Qin army and the miserable of the Chu people. But these were all the old tunes, and they said it again and again, and everyone heard the calluses in their ears, and the old man's voice was also low, and what they said was almost overwhelmed by the shouts of fighting cocks and dogs. At this time, the drinkers were now surrounded by a sloppy blue-clothed scholar, and heard him telling the secret of choosing a prince in the palace.

"The day before yesterday, the palace was to choose a grand ceremony for the prince. One was ordered to say that Prince Jing was the eldest son, and the other was that Prince Fierce was the eldest son. Who would have thought that both were not... "

"Neither of both?" The drinkers were in a big uproar. They also knew some divination techniques. The destiny words were to ask the gods, usually with positive and negative words, and were divided into the left and right sides of the tortoise shell. The right and wrong are the right and right, and there is no way to both.

"Don't believe it." Several drinkers wiped their mouths and waved their sleeves, shouting loudly, "It's either, no, how can we get both?"

"If it is true, it is no, why don't you hear the words of the eldest son in the palace?" The scholar in blue smiled slandered. He was a regular guest in the restaurant, without a name or surname, and claimed to be a solitary guest. He was carrying a sword, which was a two-foot ancient sword. Those who were rich wanted to buy it, but later they regretted it.

The one-way guest made all the shouters shut up, and he bowed to the east and sighed, "Do you have both? No one is the king. If you look at it from heaven, the Chu State will be destroyed." As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed, and the timid even shivered.

"Wine is coming!" The shop servant shouted and walked in the store as if he was walking in the plum blossom stake. After delivering the wine, he saw that all the guests were surrounded by the lone-walking guests and their faces changed drastically, and he could not help but say more: "The Chu State has been destroyed, Chu State has been destroyed. Mr. Chu State has been thinking about it for more than ten years, why has the Chu State still not destroyed? Inviting guests to return to the table, Mr. Du Xing once robbed the land with his head and was just talking nonsense."

"Huh..." Everyone was upset again, and their eyes looked at the lone watch with deep suspicion.

"Irregular!" The lou Xingke stood up angrily, and the bronze sword was unsheathed. Unfortunately, the sword was broken. "Dare you dare to say that I will steal the ground with my head?"

"..." Although the sword was broken, it could still kill people. The servant holding the wine case was stiff and stood there on the spot.

"Mr. Lou Xing, can you pay for the last month's drink?" The owner was calm and had a solution to this.

"Who is less money for you to drink!" A penny stumped the hero. The solitary guest owed too much money. Of course, he had a background in being able to bear the sword. He was not afraid of the shop owner suing the official, but he was afraid that there would be no alcohol in the future - the only place where Yingcheng City gave him wine was left. "It is not auspicious to kill people today, so let you die. Humph!"

The guest walked alone withdrew his sword, but at this time the drinkers looked at him with different eyes. After more than ten years of Chu's destruction and Chu's destruction, it must be because of some brain problems. The group laughed humbly and all returned to the table and sat down.

"Is it true that the divination of the Taimiao really both?" The same street market was shouting in the west, and the east was filled with miserable sounds. In the compartment, the light of gold and jade was dazzling. Some people were also talking about the matter of the prince's choice three days ago.

"That's right." The news here is not groundless. "This time, the king personally became a zhen person. Taibu divined it, and Guanyi was a divination. Unexpectedly, the left and right patterns were the same, and there was no discernment of good and bad luck, so Guanyi sighed and said, "This is not the time to establish a eldest son."

"Little golden jade is not respectful." The questioner was wearing green clothes. He smiled and pushed the golden jade on the table over.

The answerer was wearing a mysterious robe and a jade belt. He seemed gentle and actually was not polite at all. He put the golden jade in his arms and said, "Young Master can ask any questions, but if I know, I will say it."

"Who is the king?" The young man in Qing nodded and asked a question casually, but his eyes were covering the other party, and he looked at his face in detail.

"The king's body was weak, and after the sacrifice, he fell to the ground and could not get up. The doctor said..."

"What do you mean by the Medical Yin?" The young master in Qing's eyes became even hotter, and he hurriedly asked in excitement.

"My Yin..." The answerer wanted to speak but stopped. Fortunately, the other party knew what he meant, so he took out a pair of jade bis from his arms. Then he said, "My Yin Yin said, "My Yin said, "The King is old and weak, has old diseases... It is not in spring, it is in autumn."

"It's not in spring, it's in autumn" said very quietly, but these four words were like spring thunder blew in the ears of the young master in Qingyi, causing him to restlessly and say goodbye before the wine and food was served. The answerer didn't care. He just could enjoy the wine and food alone, so why not be happy?

"The lifespan of King Jing should be in this year." In an unknown corner of the city, the young man in Qingyi who left the wine shop and bowed to the ground, mentioning that he had just received news from the wine shop. "This..."

"There is already an order. Why do you come here?" The atrium was dark, and the person who spoke was in the dark, unable to see his appearance, but his tone was extremely stern.

"The lifespan of King Jing is related to the King of Jing people. The two princes compete for the crown prince, the imperial court and the left disciple..."

"Don't go yet?" It seemed as if I hadn't heard the words of the young master in Qing, and the people in the dark had already been expelled.

"Yes." Although he was reluctant, the young master in Qing had to get up and leave with a bow.

"The person who came here is restless and irritable, and he is moved when he hears the news, far inferior to the past." More than one person in the room, the stern man walked to the side room after the young master in Qingyi walked, where a woman sat there. The woman's collar was folded and her long skirt was swaying on the ground, but her face was covered with silk brocade, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

"Haha..." The woman's laughter was soft and beautiful. "Four years ago, the five countries joined the throne and were defeated and left in Hangu. All of them were our contributions. After that, Huang Xie nearly ten thousand soldiers and searched us everywhere. Those who had been in Chu for a long time died. Now, people who have wanted to make contributions without being tempered. How can they compare with those of the past?"

"Is it true that King Jing's Shou is all true?" the man asked, "Who should King Jing make him the eldest son? Prince Jing?"

"The royal family of Jing Kingdom has a heart attack, so they should not be overjoyed or angry, otherwise they will die suddenly. King Jing is old and sick. The previous month Yan talked about something, and King Jing was furious and immediately stroked his chest and fell to the ground. In this way, there was Zhenyin, Zuo Tu and others asking King Jing to become a crown prince..."

The woman talked in a casual manner, talking about the secrets in the palace. How did she know that these men didn't ask, he only listened. As a Qin spy, it is ten times more important to know how to listen than to say.

"The eldest son's affairs, King Jing was first very strong, and then wanted to establish Jing, because it was changed by the powerful crossbow. King Jing might believe that Jing was the Holy King... "

"The Jing people love to be lustful temples, believe in ghosts and gods, and the five-star pearl, and the saying that the Holy King came to the world is just a deception." The man couldn't help but interrupt, "The powerful crossbow is indeed a powerful weapon for the army. Although Xianyang did not ask, I have already arranged it, but they have very strict defenses and have no way to get it."

"I heard that there is a movie in the main room, but unfortunately no one can get close to it under the eyes of everyone." The woman suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Can the ink in Xianyang be made? The world's crossbows are profitable, and there are many Korean craftsmen in Xianyang."

"No." The man shook his head. Before he entered Chu as a spy, he had experienced a battle formation and knew the true value of a powerful crossbow. "Jing's powerful crossbow is different from the world's crossbow bow. It uses wooden arms as strings and has a clever structure. Although the Han crossbow can reach far, it is uncertain to fall. The arrows and arrows are dozens of steps away, and the shooting speed is slow. Only ten arrows can be shot in an hour, and very few. Jing crossbow is said to be able to shoot four hundred steps, exceeding the Han crossbow, and a hundred arrows are shot out. The target in it is only three feet wide, and the shooting speed is fast. You can fire arrows after a few breaths. The two armies face each other and fight before the formation. If you shoot our chief general with dozens of Jing crossbows, it will be as miserable as a bee, and no one can avoid it."

The man expressed his worries in a deep voice. In the era of cold weapons, the battle was always a battle line. Under normal circumstances, whoever had more soldiers could surround the enemy on the flanks and surrounded the enemy on three sides. The gap between soldiers and soldiers between the array was already narrow. Even if the array did not collapse after the flanks, the gap between soldiers would be gradually suppressed until there was no one. At that time, soldiers were next to the soldiers, weapons could not be used, and people could not move, and they could only be cut down by the enemy's onion. In the Battle of Canny, the famous Western Kanny, the 80,000 Romans were peeled off onions by Hanbani, who had less than his troops, and 70,000 were killed, and 10,000 were captured, and all were destroyed.

Flanking encirclement is one, and breaking through a certain army formation on the enemy's battle line can also win. Fear is contagious, especially for undisciplined troops. Once the battle line is penetrated by the enemy, the soldiers on the entire front may flee. The Chu army has a strong crossbow. When breaking the formation, they will first shoot with a strong crossbow, and the team's own leg will be in chaos. If the generals of the central army are directly shot with a strong crossbow - the two armies are only two hundred steps apart when they are arranged. Although the main general is not at the forefront of the military formation, they are only three hundred steps away from the enemy formation. Once the main general dies, the army will be defeated.
