Chapter 7 Humiliation

Cross the Yin Mountain from the west of Helan Mountain, then go east from the grassland north of Yin Mountain, and finally enter Zhao from Yanmen County or Dai County. This is the route from Xiong Jing to return to Chu State. In April, the endless grassland is already yellow and green, and the winding rivers are like Lu Li Mirror embedded on it, shining in the sun. The small mound next to the mirror belt is blooming, either red, blue, or purple, which dot the endless grassland.

As far as the eyes were concerned, the scent of the pasture juice between the nose was the green smell. As soon as everyone stopped, the mount would lower their heads and chew on the tender grass beneath them, even if they had just fed them in the morning. However, Xiong Jing had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the grassland because his minister was about to die.

"Report to the king," the doctor bowed to Xiong Jing as soon as he entered the account, and said bluntly. "Yi Hou's injury is severe but he is the general."

"Sir?" Xiong Jing looked at the doctor. He knew that this result would be, but he could not accept it.

"That's right." The doctor said helplessly. "Please..."

At noon, the sun shines on the grassland, and the inside of Pippen is a little dim. Yi Tu, who had taken a glass of Haoma juice, saw Xiong Jing coming and wanted to get up with his son's support. Xiong Jing hurriedly said, "Yi Qing doesn't need to be a tribute."

"I am the general, and I can no longer die for the king." The medicine supported Yi Tu's spirit, but he looked at Xiong Jing and smiled. He felt helpless. He could not see the Chu army recovering the old Ying, nor could he see Xiong Jing defeating the Qin people and dominating the world.

"Yi Qing did enough, not a slander..." Xiong Jingning couldn't speak. Yi Tu was the person he trusted the most. He was just his subject, not a subject of Chu.

"I have two things to do..." Yi Tu looked at his son. Yi Zui bowed and bowed and then left the tent, and guarded outside the tent. Seeing his son going out, Yi Tu grabbed Xiong Jing's hand and said, "I am worried that the king is weak. Xiang is a big man, and Ruo Ao's family is up again. Xiang Bo is respectful, but is his descendants obedient? If Ao was rebellious in the past, the king may be able to be in charge today, but can the descendants be in charge?"

When the ministers talk about the ministers, Yi Tu was loyal and worried about the monarchy and the powerful ministers before his death. Xiong Jing was always in mind, but the most important problem he faced was the survival of Chu, not the strength of the monarchy. The Xiang family and Ruoao family had to wait until they took over the old Ying and then weaken the checks and balances after the decline of Qin.

"I am not aware of it." Xiong Jing did not explain too much, but only nodded to Yi Tu. "I will try to weaken these two clans in the future."

Before his death, he advised the king to obey immediately. Yi Tu was relieved. With the last little medicine of Haoma Juice, he said again: "I do not know the four oceans and six continents, nor do I know the vast world. However, the king and the Yue people have all been able to teach him the art of boating and navigation, which may cause great harm in the future. Yue people are foolish and Luo family is arrogant. In order to restore the land of their ancestors, Luo family will deceive the Yue people to rebel against me in the future. I ask the king not to forget the equipment."

"I don't know it." Xiong Jing bowed again, "After Ying defeated Qin, the Luo family should be balanced by Yue. The sea boats must be equipped with cannons before they can traverse the four oceans. Luo family only knows how to build boats and sail, but does not know how to cast and make medicine, which will be difficult to cause great harm."

"I am. I'm going to the Yellow Spring to meet the ancestors of the kings and kings. It's said... I'm the Great Chu. "Yi Tu breathed a sigh of relief. After he had no worries, his life passed away quickly from him. Waiting for Yi Zui, Yi Tong, Xiong Han and others to get the account, he wanted to smile at them, but the smile just started to appear and stopped breathing. The howling sounded from inside Pippen, and the Chu knights outside all burst into tears when they heard it.

"This is a bad mistake." Xiong Jing blamed himself. It was he who sent Yi Tu into Qin, and then the Qin people set up an ambush and seriously injured Yi Tu.

"Why is the king's fault?" Yi Tong tried his best to safeguard Xiong Jing's majesty. "The king died at the hands of the Qin people, and we will attack Qin in the future. The affairs of the princess Mi, the court will be wronged! The king will marry the princess Mi as his wife before, and the king of Qin appointed him as the good man behind. How can our queen of Chu be a good man in Qin? The king ordered the prince to enter Qin to welcome the princess Mi, and believed in the princess. What regrets should he die? What regrets should he die?"

Yi Tong was crying. He not only wanted to maintain the majesty of the king, but also the value of Yi Tu's death. Xiong Jing was speechless when he returned to the tent silently. Mi Xuan, who heard that Yi Hou had already died, was also uneasy. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xiong Jing hugged her in his arms.

"I..." Because Yi Hou died, Mi Xuan's heart was full of gloomy when he recalled that his aunt often said about Zhao's daughter.

"Don't talk." Xiong Jing blocked her mouth, and the two hugged each other, feeling each other's heartbeat.

"Have you seen the general!"

"Have you seen the general!"

...

When Yi Tu died, the climate was already in the hot summer of Zhao State. After more than half a month of purge, the Zhao army's military discipline was clear, and the soldiers' awe of the generals and officers increased greatly. Whenever they saw the superiors, they would salute respectfully and no longer dare to be brothers like before. The generals and officers would dare to be together with the soldiers and drink and have fun.

In the early morning, Yan Ju's chariot was driving in the military camp, and the generals and soldiers of the Zhao army along the way saluted one after another. Thinking of the Zhao army's disrespectful appearance, Yan Ju nodded with satisfaction, and his efforts were not in vain.

"The king has a decree to ask our army to go out of the city to fight the Qin army and defeat the Qin people again. Yesterday, the Japanese general ordered the battalions to fight today, so today..." The shogunate was full of Zhao army generals. Looking at them, Yan Ju was preparing to issue the orders for the battle.

"The river has been opened, why is the general eager to leave the city and fight with the Qin people?" The generals were actually unwilling to do so. After Li Mu was assassinated by the Qin people, everyone was worried that the Qin people would attack again. However, for more than ten days, the Qin army has been making siege equipment and has not attacked again.

"So what about opening the navigation?" Yan Ju looked at the generals in the tent. "All countries only want the Qin people to attack our Zhao State, but the alliance has not been achieved yet. As the current plan, only by defeating the Qin army again can Zhao State not perish."

"We only have 500,000 Qin troops, but we only have 300,000. Why do we fight? Why are we invincible?" The person who spoke was Zhao Ao. He endured the purgatory of military discipline. He could not bear it when he saw Yan Ju take Zhao's army to death.

"So what if the Qin army is 500,000?" Yan Ju's eyes fixed on Zhao Ao, "Since he was able to defeat the Qin army several times before, why can't he win today?"

"The Qin army was defeated several times before, because of Wu Anbo's own strength. With you?" Zhao Ao was fearless, "If you fight, you will be defeated, and Zhao will be destroyed!"

"Irregular!" Zhao Ao's direct criticism made Yan Ju furious, but before Yan Ju, Zhao Cong blew: "You little commander, dare to praise the enemy? You didn't quickly apologize to the general."

"If you are defeated, you will be defeated. If you are defeated, you will be destroyed, what will I do?" Zhao Ao disdained. "One of you, the people of Qi know how to fight?"

"You!" Yan Juzhen was angry. The Qi army could no longer fight from Queen Wu. It seemed that it would take more than two thousand years to restore the tradition of Qi people's good fighting. Yan Ju was a Qi people and was most afraid of others criticizing the Qi people. His anger was no longer restrained and he shouted: "How dare you humiliate me?! Come! Behead."

"Yan Ju! You are going to fight to destroy Zhao. If Zhao is destroyed, Qi will also be destroyed. What's your intention?" Zhao Ao was dragged out by the shogunate soldiers. When the generals who heard that Yan Ju wanted to kill people hurriedly said, "Zhao Ao, you are a reckless man, please ignore the faults of reckless man."

"We have heard of the name of a general who is good at fighting for a long time. Zhao Ao is not worth mercy, but the soldiers may have unstable morale when they see this." Hu Ying was a strategist, and when she was anxious, she knew to flatter her, and she was ten times stronger than the other generals Zhao.

"Oh? You actually heard that I am good at fighting?" Yan Ju waved his hand to stop the military officer who entered the tent and asked whether to behead him.

"However, the general led his army to defeat the Wei army in the past, and I heard that it was heard." Hu Ying had a lot of news and also pulled out a small victory of Yan Ju more than ten years ago. At this time, General Zhao also agreed with him, saying that he had heard of Yan Ju's name as good as fighting.

"Diet crimes can be avoided, punishments cannot be avoided..." Yan Ju's voice echoed in the shogunate. At the gate outside the tent, Zhao Ao had already knelt on the ground and waited for death. Unexpectedly, the military officers who ran out of the shogunate did not order beheading, but took him to prison.

"Why don't you kill me? Why don't you kill me?" Zhao Ao asked loudly, but unfortunately the military officers did not answer. It was not until the end of the shogunate discussion that someone came to tell me, and talked about the fact that Hu Ying pleaded with Yan Ju.

"Ah!" Zhao Ao lamented. "What's the use to save me?! Zhao State is about to perish, what's the use to save me?"

Zhao Ao provoked Yan Ju because he wanted all the commander generals to lead against Yan Ju so that they would not go out of the city to fight the Qin army. Unexpectedly, in order to save him, all the commander pleaded with Yan Ju, and a great war was inevitable.

"The king's order is like this, and Wu Anbo will also be destroyed. What can we do?" Sima Xian, who was also the commander, sighed more sadly than Zhao Ao. Li Mu's assassination caused the Zhao army to fall into deep anxiety. Yan Ju's purging military discipline was just doing superficial work, even worse than not pursuing military discipline.

"Wait..." Zhao Ao wanted to say again in the prison, but Sima Xian and others were no longer there. The gate of Fanwu City, which had been closed before, was wide open, and batches of Zhao soldiers hurried out of the camp and lined up outside the city.

"Ah! Ah, ah, ah..." As Zhao Ao in the cage shouted as he watched Zhao Zhu leave the camp, but except for a few Zhao Zhu, who looked here, no one paid attention to him. Fanwu quickly turned into an empty city.

The more I could not see the person, the more I shouted, until my voice was hoarse and I couldn't make a sound. At this time, the sound of fierce fighting outside the city was earth-shaking. With the shouts of the soldiers of the two armies, these sounds came to his ears, making him even more anxious. But this anxiety was less than an hour before I heard someone outside the city shouting long live. Suddenly shouting long live on the battlefield, of course, there was a great victory. Zhao Ao hoped that it was Zhao's army who won, and then rushed into the city was Zhao's army.

"Long live the Great Qin! Long live the Great Qin! Long live the Great Qin..." Outside Fanyi City, the head of the General Yan Ju was lifted on the spear by the cavalry under Xin Sheng. In front of them, the Zhao army, whose formation had collapsed, was driven by hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. In panic, they did not even dare to enter Fanwu City, but instead threw away their armor and jumped into Shangqian's Hutuo River and fled north.

"General He, our army won a great victory! Our army won a great victory!" The central army of the Qin army led the generals to congratulate Wang Jian after seeing this scene.
