Chapter Ninety-ninth Death 3

The mountain road of more than 100 miles is not far away, and the Qin Road is wider. Qu Sui and Chang Wenjun and his party arrived in Chengyang on the afternoon of the next day. At this time, Chengyang was no longer as happy as before. There was a piece of mourning inside and outside. Before entering the city, he heard someone crying in the city. Qu Sui sighed heavily, his face numb, and the last trace of luck in his heart was gone, and the king really died.

"Report to Generals, Generals: Chen Ying has not heard of the war. In the outer city and the top of the Wangcheng city, there are all Qin and Wei flag soldiers, but our flag soldiers are not seen. Outside the city, there are many enemy soldiers digging graves and burying corpses..." In just two days and nights, the Qin and Wei army outside Xiangcheng city hurriedly retreated. The camp was empty earlier, and it seemed that there had never been a war here.

Hearing that Chen Ying's city was destroyed and the king died, Xiang Yan rushed to this place the day before yesterday. He did not believe that the king's city was truly dead. Yesterday, he sent several big wings to Chen Ying to investigate. Unexpectedly, there was no war in Chen Ying, and the inner city was full of enemy flags and enemy soldiers.

"I don't believe it!" Nao Xin shouted. He was a general of the prince and had just arrived in Xiang County today. "I don't believe that the king will die! Please invite the general to send troops to Chenying. Even if the king dies, he will take back the king's body."

"Yes, please send troops to Chen quickly and take back Chen Ying as soon as possible." Jing Gui, who is also a general of the public clan, said.

"The king will not die!" Deng, the general of the elite soldiers, said mourning. "The Qin people must have seen my army approaching and used a plan to deceive me."

"Please send troops to Chen quickly and do not delay any further." Seeing Xiang Yan's opinion, the generals immediately bowed in unison.

"I have heard of it that the Qin army attacked Chu this time for only one king. If the king had not died, how could the Qin army withdraw his troops?" Xiang Yan, who was silent, finally spoke. He remembered the words of Yang Wenjun in the past. "The head may be fake, but Chengyang, Xiangcheng Qin army retreated, and the enemy flags of the royal city that the Zhoushi saw were true." At this point, he took out another message: "The Duke Qu who sent Princess Chi to marry into Qin has arrived in Chengyang, and he flew to Yingdu to say: The King of Qin has arrived at Jiyi at this time, and sent the left prime minister Changwenjun to Ying to pay condolences. He also said that when our new king of Chu ascended the throne, he should join the new king in Jiyi, and give Jiyi to our country as a betrothal gift from Princess Chi..."

"The battle with Qin will never stop!" Nao Xin was very angry. He was a young man, the most intense. "Our Chu State will not join the Qin gangs!"

"Whether the alliance is all in the court, how can we decide?" Xiang Yan glared at him, and then continued to say: "The King of Qin said that because the Prime Minister of Wei, Ziji, the 200,000 Qin troops retreated in a few days. In the battle of Chu and Wei, Qin would only sit and watch."

"The General is going to wait for the Qin people to retreat to attack Chen Ying?" Jing Gui is older than Xiang Yan. He is just the eldest of a clan and is not good at fighting.

"Our army is 150,000, and the enemy army is 400,000." Guan You, the general of Ying's army, said, "Since the Qin people want to retreat, why not wait for the Qin people to retreat before fighting with the Wei people? This is a foolproof thing."

"What's the king?" Deng Sui stared at Guan You, only these four words spit out from his teeth.

"The king has passed away!" Guan You said loudly. He not only shouted to Deng Sui, but also to the other generals. "If the king had not died, how could the Qin people retreat? The emperor of Xiang County also saw the heads with his own eyes, and it was indeed the king. The general sent the Zhoushi to Chenying. Before Chen Ying saw the war, the heads on the royal city were full of enemy flags, and the king had already died..."

The entire Zhongting court was filled with Guan You's voice, and the facts were irrefutable. If everything was a plan, then the enemy's flag at the top of the royal city was seen by the soldiers of the Zhou army with their own eyes. Since the royal city had fallen, how could the king survive alone?

As Guan You said, shed tears for no reason. He wiped his tears and said, "Our army is weak and cannot be alone against the Qin army. Only when the entire army is wearing huge armor and holding huge spears can we fight with the Qin people."

Guan You was not the Jing Party. A man like him who was not the Jing Party suddenly burst into tears, which immediately made everyone cry. Xiang Yan's head was always rising. He only waited for the generals to retreat before he lowered his head and wiped his already wet eyes, sighing: "Heaven does not bless Chu!"

"The king died and Yingdu has been in chaos these days. I heard that Yang Wenjun sent people to gather at Lumen to make the prince of the fierce." Xiang Que talked about Yingdu. "He also sent several letters to him and asked his brother to lead his army to Ying immediately to assist the prince of the fierce ascend the throne."

"Yang Wenjun is a shameless person." Xiang Yan was displeased when he heard the three words Yang Wenjun.

"However, Yang Wenjun said that if a prince is helping the throne, he will definitely be the Grand Sima." The three words "Da Sima" made Xiang Yan stunned. He really wanted to be the Grand Sima of Chu. However, the Xiang family was not a public clan, but only a noble clan, and it was not managed in the court. The Grand Sima's position will never take the turn. At the Grand Sima meeting that day, he knew nothing about the future Chu army.

"At this time, there are only 5,000 kings and soldiers in Yingdu. If the army arrives, the fierce prince will definitely ascend the throne." Xiang Que knew his brother's ambitions, so he said again. "The country must not be without a king in one day. Before the war is finished, a new king should be established soon. If the fierce prince is established in the future, if Yang Wenjun holds a grudge, the Xiang family will be unfortunate."

"Xiang's family is not with shameless people." Xiang Yan didn't want to be a great sage, but the stories over the past three years made him very despise Yang Wenjun. "And the king has already made me Xiang Bo, so what can the new king ascend the throne?"

"Oh!" Xiang Que looked at his brother and had to remind him again: "Xiang Bo's title has only lasted for three lifetimes. Brother, he is also a vassal king. He also served as the prime minister of Zhao State. Now he has died in another country and cannot be buried..."

"What kind of benefits did Mr. Yang Wen promise you again?" Xiang Yan asked back. He felt that his younger brother's words were wrong today.

Xiang Que laughed dryly when he heard this. He knew that the matter could not be hidden from his brother: "There is no benefit, it's just Dun County..."

Dun County is thirty miles northwest of Xiangcheng. It was originally the Dun Kingdom and was destroyed by Chu. Xiang Que only valued real benefits, the Grand Sima and Lingyin, and he was not interested in the expansion of counties under the jurisdiction of Xiang. Yang Wenjun agreed to his preferences and promised to hand over Dun County to his jurisdiction, so he naturally could not bear the temptation.

"If the military struggle is difficult, it is straightforward and the danger is straightforward. Therefore, it is roundabout way and lures it for profit. Later generations come, and ancestors come. This is the one who knows the plan of straightforwardness..." Xiang Yan suddenly thought of the military strategy. Xiang Que had to retreat when he heard the sound. He knew that once his brother had decided, he could not say anything. When he came to Mingtang, he ordered the county magistrate Xiang Que and said: "Send the news quickly to Yingdu, and the matter should not be done."

"This is the bedroom, are you trying to rebel?" There were hundreds of court officials standing outside the gate. Before the sanitation, Yin Zhaoshu spoke with hatred. The news of the king's death came, and he immediately made people shut up, but Shouling Jun and others soon learned about it. Yingdu was in chaos, and court officials frequently asked to see the queen mother and asked to make the prince the fierce one the king, but the queen mother refused.

"The country must be ruled by one day. We only hope that the fierce prince will ascend the throne as soon as possible." A group of court officials shouted, but Yang Wenjun was not among them.

"Rumor in the city, the fierce prince and Concubine Li have been killed by the treacherous slander. We want to see the fierce prince! We want to see Concubine Li!" Xiangchengjun stood in front of the crowd, and his voice was the biggest.

"Yes, I'm going to see the fierce prince, I'm going to see Concubine Li!" The court officials agreed loudly. The sanitation behind Zhaoshu did not stop him for a while, and even let several people squeeze into the gate. When the sanitation was about to drive people out, the other court officials also squeezed in along the gap. They were court officials, so the sanitation naturally could not use swords and swords, so the people rushed to Ruoying Palace together, and could not stop him.

"We are going to see the fierce prince! We are going to see Concubine Li!" The chaotic voice echoed in the bedroom. When everyone rushed to Ruoying Palace, Wang Yinyou was already waiting at the steps.

"Who dares to trek into the Queen Mother's bedroom? Who will I fight with me?" The eunuch's voice was sharp and Wang Yin stood with a sword, showing a fierce look on his face.

"Eunuchs dare to block the way!" The court officials kicked them all, and before they could swing their swords, they were kicked by everyone. Chu State is not the Three Jin, nor is it Qin State. No matter how high the position of eunuch is, he kicked it down in front of the king.

After a fall, the other temple people who blocked the road were even scattered by the court officials. When they came to the hall panting, Concubine Zhao was already sitting in the hall. Wang Yin can be kicked at any time, but the empress dowager was the empress dowager after all, and everyone had to bow and say, "I have seen the empress dowager."

"A group beating Wang Yin and entering the bedroom without a chance, this is what you are waiting for as a minister." Concubine Zhao was thin, but her spirit was not broken. She looked at everyone, and her eyes penetrated everyone's hearts.

"Report to the Queen Mother, there are rumors in the market that there are treacherous slander who have killed the fierce prince and Concubine Li. Now the king has passed away, so I... "

"Who said that the king has passed away! The king is still in the royal city, and the king is still in the royal city..." Before Shouling Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Concubine Zhao's stern voice. Her face was ferocious, but as she said that, she began to sob and cry.

Seeing this, Shouling Jun was no longer worried and said, "The country must not be without a king for a day. For the country's country of Chu, please allow the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne."

"For the country of Chu, please allow the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne to the throne." The ministers said together, and the Mingtang roared.

"Mi Yu!" After wiping away tears, Concubine Zhao shouted again, scaring the ministers again.

"Mother Queen." Mi Qi ran out of the room, her face full of tears, and the servant Jue came out with her.

"I will let you do whatever you want." Concubine Zhao said as he looked at hundreds of court officials.

"The Empress Dowager, no!" The servant minister immediately bowed down. He knew the meaning of the empress dowager best. Not only did the empress dowager not kill Concubine Li, but he also wanted to hand over Concubine Li and the fierce prince to the ministers. Now that the king has passed away, losing the fierce prince is losing everything.

"Mother Queen?" Mi Qing was young, but due to the influence of Que, she also knew that the fierce prince was of great importance.

"You're the one!" Zhao Fei looked at her daughter, "Why don't you listen to your mother's words?"

"Which." Mi Qi responded softly, but walked towards the room without help. He wanted to speak but stopped, but was speechless after all. After a while, Concubine Li appeared in Mingtang with some complacent, and the confused Xiong Han came out with her.

"My minister Shouling, pays homage to the king." Shouling, took the lead in worshiping Concubine Li and his son, and even called out the king against the courtesy. The ministers were unwilling to let the house down and shouted at the king, and the shouts resounded throughout the palace.

"Where will General Ruoao go?" The pier in the northern suburbs of Yingdu, looking at the lone passengers on the big wing warship, the county Sima Dou was always a little confused.

"Of course I'm going to fight for the king." The lone guest looked at him and smiled.

"The king is dead!" Dou Chang laughed. "Just now, Yang Wenjun Shoulingjun and others have supported the fierce prince as the king."

"The king is still in Chen Ying." The lone guest did not argue with him, but only ordered: "Tell me to order and set sail!"

"The general has an order: set sail!" The deck's official quickly uttered the order of the lone passenger in the banner language. The county soldiers of 5,100 people had only more than 40 large wings. As soon as the deck's flag came out, a sound of anchor chains came.
