When Wang Jian and Wang Heng heard this, they immediately started struggling. The two guards next to them glanced at Ying Zheng and stopped.

Ying Zheng asked the young eunuch: "Where is the messenger?"

The young eunuch said: "This is the envoy sent by His Majesty to the Chu region."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Bring him in."

After a few breaths, a man covered in sweat came in. After this man came in, he staggered and fell to the ground. He could no longer stand still.

This man reluctantly raised his head, and his appearance was clearly that of the emperor's envoy who had been under house arrest in the Kuaiji County Post House.

The messenger panted and said: "My lord, I have been running around day and night for ten days. My lord..."

Ying Zheng interrupted him and asked: "Is there any news about Xiang Liang?"

The messenger took a breath and said, "Xiang Liang has rebelled." Then he rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

Ying Zheng's face darkened, then he waved his hand slowly and said, "Take him down so that he can be treated."

There was silence in the political hall.

At this time, laughter came from the quiet hall.

It was Wang Heng and Wang Jian. The two grandfathers and grandsons were sitting on the ground, laughing uncontrollably in their throats.

Li Shui looked at Wang Jian curiously: "Old general, why are you laughing?"

Wang Jian was in ecstasy and could not answer at all.

Li Shui suddenly said: "Is it possible that the old general has colluded with Xiang Liang? Hearing that Xiang Liang rebelled, he couldn't help but laugh."

When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately shuddered, pointed at Li Shui and said, "Huai Guzi, you...don't frame me."

Chunyu Yue stood by and said to Xi Ni: "Huai Guzi, now Xiang Liang has rebelled, and Chu is uneasy. We should discuss how to judge immediately. Let's put aside your personal grudges with the old general for the time being."

Ying Zheng sat down slowly.

When Xiang Liang rebelled, he didn't have much reaction. Firstly, the six kingdoms had been pacified. Yingzheng really didn't take Xiang Liang seriously. Secondly, these days, he has been waiting for the Chu Kingdom.

news, so I was mentally prepared for it.

He looked at the Wang family's ancestors and grandsons who looked silly and happy, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. But as Chun Yuyue said, today we should study how to suppress the rebellion. As for the Wang family... let's settle the accounts later.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Xiang Liang conspired to rebel. How do you think the ministers can quell the rebellion?"

The ministers were about to speak when suddenly a young eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, another envoy has arrived."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "I only sent one person to Chu. Why is there another envoy?"

The young eunuch said: "This man was sent by the local official."

Ying Zheng nodded.

Soon, the messenger was brought in.

The messenger was in a similar state to the previous messenger from the Son of Heaven, both sweating profusely and exhausted.

This envoy had obviously never seen any big scenes. In front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court, he was so nervous that he could not speak.

Under the repeated urging of the young eunuch, the messenger said: "The villain, the villain is the brother-in-law of the magistrate of Shuangshe County."

Ying Zheng frowned.

The envoy continued: "A few days ago, the villain's sister-in-law received news. It is said that Xiang Liang has rebelled, captured Wu County and Kuaiji County one after another, and is encircling Yuewang Mountain with troops."

Ying Zheng's expression suddenly changed: "He has captured two counties?"

The messenger nodded nervously.

Later, Ying Zheng caught the question in the envoy's words: "Why did he surround Yue Wang Mountain with troops?"

The envoy said: "I heard that the King of Kuaiji gathered troops to cross King Mountain."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he stood up immediately: "What?"

The messenger was so frightened that he shivered and did not dare to speak any more.

Ying Zheng walked quickly to the envoy: "Tell me everything you know, exactly."

The envoy trembled and said: "I heard that after King Kuaiji came to Chu, he did not enter the city, but went to Yuewang Mountain. Yuewang Mountain has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. King Kuaiji stayed on the mountain and refused to come down.

After a few days, Xiang Liang led tens of thousands of troops and began to attack. Before the villain left, the two sides had not yet decided the winner."

Ying Zheng's body stiffened for a moment, and a look of regret appeared on his face: "My son is in danger. How can the governor of Chu County be so incompetent?"

Ying Zheng originally thought that under the protection of the local magistrate, Gongzi Gao would not be in danger anyway. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by Xiang Liang as soon as he entered Chu territory?

He suddenly turned around and shouted to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Prepare for war and march to Chu land immediately. Kill the entire Xiang family."

Some courtiers who were more knowledgeable about military affairs said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Xianyang City is too far away from Kuaiji County. It takes more than ten days to ride back alone. In other words, the King of Kuaiji has been besieged for more than ten days. This

Time, Xiang Liang may have succeeded."

Ying Zheng turned around sharply and stared at the man with an angry look. The man shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything more.

However, Ying Zheng did not express his anger at others, but shouted with a cold face: "Go on."

The man was silent for a moment, then continued bravely: "And this is just the speed of a single rider. If we want to lead troops into Chu, we need to assemble the army and prepare food and grass. I am afraid that we will not be able to make the trip without March and May. I think...

...No matter how brave King Kuaiji is, if he can hold on for three to five months, I'm afraid it's a long time."

"In this case, it is better to prepare for war calmly, otherwise, in a hurry, Xiang Liang will get the upper hand. The situation in Chu will be corrupted and difficult to deal with."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng slowly shook his head.

At this time, Li Shui suddenly howled: "My dearest nephew."

This voice startled everyone.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, do you have any idea?"

For such a long time, Li Shui has formed an impression on Ying Zheng. This guy is omnipotent.

Li Shui sighed and said: "Although I am said to be an immortal, after all, when I came down to earth, I could no longer use my immortal skills."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was immediately disappointed.

However, Li Shui continued: "However, I recommend a person who should be able to rescue Young Master Gao."

All civil and military officials in the court looked at Li Shui with interest.

Li Shui slowly raised a hand and pointed at Li Xin.

Li Xin originally had the same confused look on his face, but when he saw Li Shui pointing at him, he straightened his back immediately.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin: "Can you save people?"

Li Xin said: "I only need three thousand men and horses to conquer the Chu land and capture Xiang Liang alive."

When everyone heard this, a strange look suddenly appeared on their faces: Why do you always say this? At this time, can you not boast?

Wang Jian walked out with a cane and a smile, and said to Li Xin: "General Li, don't forget the battle against Chu a few years ago."

When he attacked Chu in the past, Li Xin was so confident and boasted about Haikou. The result? He suffered a complete defeat and became a laughing stock. In the end, he had to let the veteran take action.

Unexpectedly, this person actually forgot to eat but not to fight, and then he jumped out again.

Li Xin turned to look at Wang Jian and said calmly: "Old general, I suddenly realized that since the news of Xiang Liang's rebellion came, you have become much more energetic."

Wang Jian chuckled and did not argue with Li Xin. He also saw that since Li Xin and Li Shui got together, he became much more articulate and would call others rebels if he was not careful. In this case, then

Just stay away from his sharp edges and don't get into unnecessary arguments with him.

Wang Jian bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I once personally visited the Chu land and destroyed the Chu people. This time, I recommended myself to suppress the rebellion."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly and asked, "How many people do you need?"

Wang Jian thought for a while and said: "It is easier for the Xiang clan to rebel than in the past to destroy Chu. One hundred thousand people are enough."

Ying Zheng frowned and asked again: "How much time do you need?"

Wang Jian said: "We can set off within a month."

Ying Zheng felt a little unhappy. Within a month, after he had just set off, by the time he led his army to Chu Di, Gongzi Gao's body might have been changed beyond recognition.

At this time, Li Shui said from the side: "Your Majesty, you can let General Li Xin lead 3,000 people first. General Wang's army will go later."

While Ying Zheng was thinking about it, Chunyu Yue suddenly stood up and said, "Absolutely not. Three thousand people are too dangerous. If you are not careful, not only will King Kuaiji be unable to rescue him, but Li Xin will also be in danger."

The courtiers nodded in agreement. After all, Li Xin was a general of the country. If he was killed by Xiang Liang, the rebel army would become more powerful and more rebels would join the rebellion, making it difficult to suppress the rebellion.

Li Xin glanced at Chunyu Yue in surprise and found that he had a concerned look on his face. He thought to himself: This old man is not just a piece of wood, he still has some family affection in his heart.

The courtiers gave advice to Ying Zheng one after another to prevent Li Xin from going.

Seeing Ying Zheng's hesitation, Li Shui said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that General Li Xin in the past pacified the Huns in just one month. Compared with the Huns, Xiang Liang was more than a hundred times weaker. Three thousand people,

That’s enough.”

Seeing that Ying Zheng still did not express his position, he added: "My lord, I am willing to accompany General Li Xin."

As soon as this statement came out, the opposing courtiers suddenly nodded in agreement.

Li Shui cursed secretly in his heart: People's hearts are really rotten.
