With the great war in the Northern Central Plains, one after another, gradually fermenting, the world has already become popular because of Ruo Ao Ziyan's name, and the major princes are even looking forward to the final results of this war every day.

Chu Jin Zheng fought for hegemony.

Who wins and who loses in the end?

And every trace of the dynamics of this war has become a daily conversation in the wine shops and restaurants in the capitals of the Central Plains, from the princes and nobles, down to the peddlers, and the pawns, changing glasses of wine, and talking about it.

"You don't know, the first beauty of the Song Kingdom was intercepted by the Chu army before she married into the Jin Kingdom, and now she may have become a woman of the Chu Kingdom!"

"There is really no one in the Song Kingdom, counting on Hua Yuan and a scholar, with those thin arms and thin legs, he dares to fight with Jing Man, I can't even get up with a sword, you see, I was captured in the end!"

"So the Song Kingdom was defeated unjustly in this battle!"

"The Song State is said to be actively ransoming the Chu State and the Zheng State with heavy money!"

"The most wronged is Chen Gong, because this battle cannot be buried for peace, and Chen Jun, who has buried nearly 10,000 people alive. ”

"The one who died is miserable!"

"If Chen Gong is aware of the underground, it is estimated that he will crawl out of the coffin and scold Chen Ren. ”

"I think the worst is still the Jin Kingdom, since the Jin Xianggong, not to mention the second ancestor of the Jin Linggong, all day long, fighting cocks and lackeys, a good overlord of the country, reduced to a dog capital, the people and courtiers are not allowed to go out! ”

"These two second ancestors are also unpopular with no one...... There were several troubles when I was in the Jin Kingdom, and now you say that this time the Jin Ling Guild will not wear some small shoes for Zhao to wear behind his back, so that he will not go back?"

"I can't tell!"

Since the untimely death of Xianggong of Jin, Linggong was young, and at the age of 30, Zhao Dun took over his father Zhao Yuan's class and became the first person in the Jin Kingdom, holding power alone.

Zhao Dun and Zhao Wear brothers, one article and one martial arts, controlled the Jin dynasty for 20 years, with the Zhao family to contend with the six major families of the Jin State, more frequently carried out diplomatic work with the princes and countries, all the offensive battles, alliances, are represented by Zhao Dun with full power, so the Zhao family is well-known at home and abroad.

The Zhao family is only three generations, and the power of the ministers is flourishing, comparable to the Ruo Ao clan of the Chu State for three hundred years, and Zhao Dun is the first minister of Zhengqing to appear in the world as a courtier instead of the monarch alliance in the major vassal states.

Even Ruo Ao had never done this.

Back then, if Ao Zi's literary achievements were high, and he also thanked the king of Chu for his favor several times, how could Yin Ziban dictate that there was a king of Chu above, and Zhao Dun had a young Jin Linggong who did not understand government affairs, would he really obey him?

So Jin Linggong has hated the Zhao family for a long time, and I guess this time I hope that Zhao Shou will die abroad as a Linggong!"

"If you can kill Zhao Chuan, you will be able to cut off Zhao Dun's arm. ”

"And this battle of the Jin Kingdom will definitely be defeated!"

In the royal city of Luoyi, Wang Sunman looked at the commoners, nobles, and colleagues who were talking about it...... Sit in the corner and listen to the debate about the winners and losers of this big war.

Walk up to the three clay pots and count all the bounties on you.

Since last year's Jiangling Alliance of Chu State, the King of Chu won the two cities of Qi and Jin with six points, and "gambling houses" have arisen in various countries in the world.

At this time, the major gambling houses in the world are imitating the Chu National Alliance and opened the gambling game, the most heart-pounding thing for the spectators is that now the Chu Jin odds do not know if they are fueled by people behind them, from the beginning, five to one, to one to one, to one to five, and finally directly rose to one to ten.

It has only been 20 years since Jin Wengong became the hegemon, but it has been notorious because of the Jin Linggong in power, and all countries are in decline, and the general trend has gone and is unstoppable!

In front of each gambling house, a large red cloth is hung high, a big book is a word "gambling", and the odds of "Chu Yi" or "Jin Shi" are engraved on the wooden board in front of the door, and then three tile pots are placed.

If Jin Guo can win, it is ten times the odds.

And almost all the major princes and princes will be overwhelmed by the pawns of the traffickers.

The Chu-Jin draw was even more sky-high.

One to hundred.

It's eye-popping.

There are lucky people, if they have a knife coin or cloth coin in their hand, they will throw it into the crockpot in it, maybe they can earn a thousand times if they are lucky, after all, the strength of the two kingdoms of Chu and Jin is there, but they are mostly laughed at by others as a puppet who can't see the situation in the world clearly.

The owner of the gambling house saw Wang Sunman's cuffs bulging, and stepped forward with a smile, "Lord Wang, do you want to place a bet today?"

"Although the bet on Chu Guo is big!"

"But the winning side of the Jin Kingdom is not small!"

"And the two countries are evenly matched, and it's hard to say that it's a tie!"

The surrounding gamblers didn't believe it, "Don't fool Lord Wang Sun, bet on Jin Guo to lose at this time!"

"Since you don't bet on the Jin Kingdom, then I will bet on the Jin Kingdom!"

Wang Sunman's triangular eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the boss who was waiting for him to pay the money, stepped forward, and divided ten gold from his pocket to suppress Chu defeat, and then divided ten gold to suppress Chu Jin to draw.

"Lord Wang Sun really went to Nanban, but he has a different vision from others!" The owner of the gambling house smiled and ordered someone to collect twenty gold, weigh it and thank you.

"Huh!"

"I think Lord Wang Sun has a unique vision and extraordinary courage, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!" the owner of the gambling house praised again and again.

"Really, I think I'm very accurate, too?"

Wang Sunman nodded, handed over all the bounties given by King Zhou to the gambling house, collected the receipt of the gambling contract, and turned around with a smile, "Then I'll go first!"

"That Wang Sun, forgive the villain for not being far away!"

The owner of the gambling house smiled and grabbed the gold he had sent to his door.

……

At this time, there may be only one place, quiet, distant, unmoved by these sounds.

That is the capital of Qin, which is isolated to the west of Qishan.

Yongcheng.

In the west, the scorching north wind and the rolling Yellow River may make the Chu people in the south unable to adapt to the bitter cold here, but the old Qin people who have lived in the west for a long time and guarded Xirong for the king of Zhou have long been accustomed to it.

Since the defeat of Qin Kanggong at the hands of Jin Xianggong, in the hands of his son Qin Gonggong, he has been implementing the policy of closing the west, developing westward, dominating Xirong, and ignoring the repeated violations of the Jin State, but all the old Qin people are holding their stomachs in their hearts.

In the Qin Palace of Yongcheng, wearing a crown on his head, wearing court clothes, sitting on the jade steps, the tall man behind the bronze case, turning over the left Shu people, the right Shu people (the left and right Shu people are equivalent to the Ling Yin of the Chu State, Sima, at this time the Qin State official system is simple, and it was not perfected until the rear of the Warring States Period) and other ministers played the war sticker.

He didn't raise his head, and the tassels of his crown didn't shake at all, he just looked at Qin Jian with his hand, and asked in a slow voice, "Do you think it's time for my old Qin people to fight?"

"Iron Eagle (Qin State Iron Eagle Swordsman is the title of Qin State's outstanding martial arts practitioners, as early as the Qin Xiaogong period, "Iron Eagle Swordsman" has been on the battlefield for the country, the specific earliest origin when, there is no history to copy. The news came back from the Central Plains, the Jin State led the Four-Power Alliance Army to attack Zheng, the morale of the Chu State was high in the north, and the two sides had been fighting for more than a month.

The person on the left side of the lower left didn't know the thoughts of the person on the seat, and stepped forward and replied sonorously.

"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable, then Chen Bing first!"

Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the jade seat, said lightly, and then said, "But the situation in this world is still very chaotic, Chu and Jin are playing, and the result is not divided, my old Qin people still wait!"

"But, my lord, ......"

"Such a good opportunity, my old Qin people don't repay the revenge of Kang Gong, when will I get it?"

The ministers were puzzled when they heard this.

However, the young lord on the seat had already closed Qin Jian, got up, raised his eyebrows, and a pair of eagle eyes were not shocked, looking down at the dissenting ministers, "If you should report the time, you will naturally report it; My old Qin people are in the western land, although they have strength, but they shouldn't be wasted like this. ”

"No!"

"By the way, this time Tie Ying replied to the letter, can he say that he saw the son of Chu Zhiling Yin, Ruo Ao Ziyan of the King of Chu?"

"If Ao Duck is surrounded by heavy border guards, Iron Eagle must not approach!"

"Last time the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Tie Ying didn't see it, and now Chu and Jin are fighting for hegemony, and they haven't seen it closely...... What a shame!"

"It seems that we can only meet when the big battle is revealed!"

Zhao Qi stood on the jade steps of the Qin Palace, looking at the battlefield in the Central Plains of the Eastern Continent, and said quietly.

Zuo Shuren was puzzled, "Why is the lord so interested in a Chu donkey, he asked him three times and twice, and wanted to know his news several times. ”

"In our opinion, Chu Zhi's concubine Ruo Ao Ziyan, just like Jin Zhi's son-in-law Zhao Chuan, but they are all arrogant and arrogant people who rely on their families, how can I have my old Qin people who are all brave and good at fighting!"

"Really?"

Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows and smiled again.

The rough thumb of the perennial sword dancer, rubbing the eagle pattern on the seven-hole jade belt around his waist, said, "My old Qin people guarded the bitter cold land in the west for Zhou Tianzi, and fought with the Xirong people every year, which can be called the first brave warrior in the world. But why can't we defeat the Jin State in the east, and we are still in an arrogant son of the Zhao family, and Zhao Chuan's subordinates were deceived into taking away the Shihui! To the west, we are afraid of the strong army of Chu, so we can't go south, so we can only join forces with it to fight against the Jin State. ”

"Zhongqing came to tell my father, why is this?!" Zhao Wei looked at the ministers and asked in a clear voice.

"This ......"

The people on the left and right were dumbfounded.

"Or is it because my father is too young, so he doesn't know how to govern?"

Zhao Wei looked back at the ministers below and asked again.

"How can it be? The lord is worth a young man, far more than a hundred times the Duke of Jin, who loves dogs and misleads the country; the lord is few and diligent in political affairs, and he is not comparable to the King of Chu who has been sick for many years and ignores the government and politics. All the ministers replied in unison.

"Then why is the Great Qin of this Duke not able to win the Jin Kingdom of Ji and the Chu Kingdom of Mi?"

This is exactly what their old Qin people can't figure out.

The Qin people were all tolerant, frosty, and drought-resistant, and even the most ferocious Xirong was beaten by them and fled in all directions, but they could not defeat the Jin and Chu states in the southeast alone.

"Then Zhongqing should think about it more and tell my father an answer!"

"No!"

When the secretary heard this, he bowed his head.

After the Scattered Dynasty, Zhao Wei looked at the old Qin people who had left the Scattered Dynasty, and sighed lightly, "Although my Great Qin is locked in the West, I can't really lock our knowledge......"

At this time, although the news that the Jin coalition had been broken in the Battle of Beilin had not yet reached the Qin State, the small countries such as Zheng, Chen, Song, Wei, Cai, and Lu in the storm circle of the Great War had already received the news.

Even though the Jin State refused to withdraw its troops, the victory or defeat had actually been revealed in the eyes of the princes of the world.

Even the peddlers' pawns could almost foresee the outcome of the battle.

Cai Lu, Chen Wei, Chongguo and other small countries that are closest to the storm circle of this big war are naturally the most discussed, and they all say: "There is no doubt that the future hegemon of the world will be the Chu State."

The allies of Chu are happy, and the allies of Jin are worried.

Wu Yuezheng and other China, who live on the side of the two great powers, are thinking about whether the future is pro-Chu or distancing the Jin.

Qi Qinba and other big powers have already begun to move, and Chen soldiers are in the realm, thinking about how to get a piece of the pie at the end of this battle and get the maximum benefits.

For a time, because of this rare battle of great powers in ten years.

It became more and more lively.

The nations are looking forward to it.

Outcome.

……

So in the next few days, the envoys of Chu and Jin arrived in Qin one after another.

Qin Gonggong is not like his father Qin Kanggong, who reigned for several years, and most of the actions of the Jin State were to lock the west and ignore it, and when Zhao Ming arrived in Yongcheng for the first time, he only arranged a place to live according to the etiquette, and only met with Zhao Ming, who was the envoy of Ruo Ao Ziyan, without anything special.

"Xuan Chu State's envoy Zhao Ming!"

Zhao Ming laughed loudly when he heard the order, it was time for him to appear and sing.

The waist pole was straight, he stepped into the Qin palace with a knot, facing the people of the Qin State, fearless, first congratulated the secretaries of the Qin State, and said deafeningly: "The courage of the old Qin people is still better than back then, as long as I Qin Chu continue to strengthen the strategy of the southwest this time, this defeat will be just around the corner!"

In the Qin Palace, all the soldiers immediately boiled, and they were bound to return the color to the Jin State.

Zhao Chuan's mission was completed and left, and then the Qin State received a letter of help sent by Zhao Chuan's envoy, and the Qin State was angry from the princes to the commoners.

"Where is this Jin Kingdom asking for help?"

"It's just showing off!"

The ministers scolded loudly.

"My Jin State is the alliance leader of the Central Plains, this time the attack on Zheng is a sweep of Liuhe, the barbarians of Chu do not respect Cheng Zhou, vain self-respect for the king, now with Qin as the backup, Qin attacks the southwest of Chu, Jin attacks the north of Chu, the two armies are united, the day of the great victory over Chu, the Jin State will hoard Qin Gong with fine wine and beauties, and wait for the banquet. ”

If it was just like this, it would naturally not make the already resentful old Qin people so angry.

Because Zhao wore out of the Qin Palace, walked around among the princes of the Qin State, and released a piece of news, which was known to everyone: "The Qin people don't know, now Zhao Dun, the secretary of the Jin State, has been expelled from the Jin by the Jin Linggong and ordered all countries to ban it, and now the Zhao family is too busy to take care of himself, but Zhao Wear still dares to make a big statement in front of the Qin people." This majesty will not be extinguished, what is the status of the old Qin in the world in the future, the princes of the world only regard the Qin State as just a vassal country of the Jin State, and they are extremely afraid of them. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The old Qin people were furious.

Within a few days, the news spread.

And the news that the Jin State had been waiting for the Qin State for a long time and wanted to attack the Qin ally Chongguo came again, and the Qin people's revenge mood was even higher, and they scolded the Jin State for being trustworthy and shameless, asking for help on the one hand, and coercing on the other!

The Zuo Shu people of the Qin State looked at the mountains of battle posts piled up on the bronze case, and said loudly: "The Chu people are provoking my old Qin people!"

However, the young lord sat on the top seat, closed the notes of all the soldiers to fight one by one, got up and said, "Isn't this exactly what the two adults of the left and right Shu people are waiting for?

So the Qin State decided to send troops to attack the Jin State Jiaoyi.

Lao Qin's father sent his son, and his wife sent his husband, and he actually instructed each other, "Honor Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

"No victory, no return!"

The Qin army on the border of Chengzhou and Zhou crossed the Yellow River to the east and headed for Jiaoyi with lightning speed.

At this time, Zhao Pier did not know that Zhao Dun was being chased and killed by Jin Linggong and fled abroad, and the first major thing Jin Linggong did after he took charge of the government was to cut off the supply of grain and grass in the rear of his cloud piercing horse.

He was just furious when he learned that Qin really attacked Jin, and he was originally dissuaded by Ji Liuzhen to attack Qin's ally Chongguo, and he just wanted to threaten, but now if he doesn't attack Chongguo, it seems that his Jin army is really afraid of the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu.

patted the bronze case and said, "Since the Qin people have the courage to violate the ban, our army will immediately go to Chongguo!"

"I can't wear it!"

Hearing this, Ji Liuyu advised again, "There are not many men left in our army, and the guards have long been retired, if our army is surrounded by the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Zheng alone, the name of the overlord will be lost in this battle." ”

"At this time, the only way to keep your prestige is to retreat!"

"Didn't you hear Jiang Wuye's kid on the other side scolding me for shrinking his head and turtle all day long!" Zhao Wear pointed to Jiang Wuye, who started to set up a stage outside and scolded him for "shrinking turtle", said angrily.

"I, Zhao Chuan, have never experienced such a bird qi in my life, even if a Jin Linggong is counted, what is he Jiang Wuye? When I Zhao Chong was fighting, he didn't know that he was staying in that ghost place, and even the identity of the prince of Qi was added later!"

"Jiang Wuye is just a scoundrel, and the Qi State is a defeated general under my Jin Kingdom, what should he do?" Ji Liuyu frowned, Zhao Chuan's situation was simply out of his mind, "The current plan should be how to protect the prestige of my Jin Kingdom in this battle." ”

"It is precisely because I want to keep my prestige that I have to be a headache for these Qin people, knowing that my Jin Kingdom is not easy to mess with!" Zhao Chuanyi waved his hand, "I have made up my mind!"

"There are also generals who are not subject to military orders abroad, even if you tell my eldest brother, he will support me!"

"Come on, immediately march to Chongguo!"

Zhao wore dictatorship, Ji Liuyu was no more than a general, and he begged him more, so in the end he could only let him do whatever he wanted.

But first scolded Zhao for "child's play".

"This is basically the end of bringing my Jin State to the Qin and Chu pinch, Gongzi, in this battle, if my Jin army continues to entrench this place and does not retreat, Chu State, Qi State, repeatedly provoked, provoked Zhao Chuan, lost his mind, and will definitely be defeated!"

Ji Liuyu's eyes were like torches, holding his stanza talisman, slowly tightening, and said with a deep face, "How could I not know? But now I am not the prince of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Even if I have a heart, it's not right!"
