A blood moon slowly descended from the north to the southern sky, looming, and shone over the entire Yingdu.

On the Zhu Palace Council Hall of Chu Palace and Chu Zhongtang of Ruoao Mansion, people came and went, and the leaders of various families appeared one after another, and even Cheng Dechen, who had not been out for a long time, couldn't sit still excitedly after hearing the news, "Come on, arrange a carriage for me, I want to go to Ling Yin Mansion." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When the butler heard this, he immediately arranged for him to be chariots and horses.

Ah Zhu hesitated slightly, stood on the edge of the couch and looked worriedly at the old and weak old man lying on it, his hands trembled, and he couldn't help but persuade, "Master, eldest son, the second son, they haven't come back yet!

"It is precisely because they did not come back that I, an old ghost, have to go out, otherwise this great credit will be monopolized by the Ruo Ao family. Cheng Dechen leaned on the couch and trembled his old hand to hold Azhu's hand, sat up slightly, his face sank, "Even if you help me, you have to help me over, and I will get up from where I fall." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Ah Zhu approached, called the other maids to carefully pick up the old man with his hair on the couch, and then walked to the carriage parked outside the house.

Out of the door, in addition to the carriage of the Cheng family, the carriage of the Li family, the carriage of the Wang family, the carriage of the Marquis of Zhao, and the carriage of the Sun family, there were no more carriages on Nancheng Street...... Along the way, various nobles occasionally peeked out of the car windows, all of them with solemn faces, excited, or thoughtful......

In front of the Wanji wonton shop, the little four and the little five and the six stood at the corner of the street to solicit business together.

Xiao Liu blinked and looked at the Chinese cars and long queues walking in front of him, took Xiao Si's hand and asked, "Little Fourth Brother, what day is it today, why are so many nobles traveling on the street?"

Xiao Si was also puzzled, his eyes quickly crossed over the past canopy carriages, and then frowned, "Looking at this formation, I feel that something big is going to happen, but there is no news on the street today." ”

When the words fell, Lao Wan put down his calculation and stood in front of the Wanji wonton shop and shouted, "The guests are here, stop chatting, come and say hello!"

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper!"

"Let's go, let's hurry back. ”

Xiao Si pulled Xiao Wu and they hurriedly entered the shop, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"Hey, it's the official. ”

Looking down, the person who came was Wang Sunman, who was about to leave.

"Hehe, little brother has a good memory, I'm leaving, so I'll come to your house again to eat at the end, your wontons are really delicious, and when I return to Chengzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this taste!"

"Official, the matter is over so soon, our Yingdu is the best place in the south, don't stay for a while. Xiao Si picked up the white arowana wontons sent by the back kitchen and put them on the table, and asked whether it was true or false.

The news of the king's western suburbs saying that he welcomed the angels of Cheng Zhou has spread all over the world.

It seems that this noble man is the angel of Cheng Zhou.

Wang Sunman picked up the chopsticks and inserted a wonton into the pottery bowl, and muttered in a big gulp, "It's delicious, it's really delicious!"

After eating a few, he looked up and said, "Yingdu is good, but it will not be good right away, so I have to go." ”

"Is there a feast in the world!"

Xiao Si greeted and sent him off a lot, but he quickly caught the meaning of Wang Sunman's words, "But, official, what's wrong with my Yingdu?"

"Do you remember the Battle of Chengpu nineteen years ago?" Wang Sunman asked after putting down his chopsticks.

"The Battle of Chengpu, I don't remember, I wasn't even born at that time!" Xiao Si shook his head, saying that he didn't know, but Lao Wan, who was standing not far behind him, frowned, he remembered that in that battle, the Chu State dispatched 300,000 troops, basically pouring out, ten rooms and nine empty.

Wang Sunman smiled when he heard this, "You don't know normal, I actually heard from the older generation, I heard that in that battle, the Chu State was defeated by the Jin State, that is called a fiasco! ”

Xiao Si didn't understand what the matter of the old yellow calendar had to do with today's events, but he didn't want to inquire clearly, and after eating the wontons, he sent Wang Sunman out, and asked politely, "Master, are you coming back?"

Wang Sunman, who walked out of Wanji wontons, boarded the carriage, and looked back at the capital of Chu State, which had been here for half a month, and a person who had met here in front of the door, and chuckled, "Yingdu, I will definitely come back again." ”

"Next time, Ji Man will never be a rat again, just behave!"

"Guest officer, it turns out that your name is not Wang Man!"

Xiao Si said when he heard this.

"Little brother, my surname is Ji, and my name is full. ”

Wang Sunman replied with a smile.

"Ji, isn't that the surname of the Zhou royal family!" Xiao Si shook his hands, he didn't expect that he would be able to receive the prince and grandson of Cheng Zhou in his lifetime.

Wang Sunman didn't answer him again, but just boarded the car and waved away at the urging of others.

"Yingdu, go back. ”

Perhaps in this era, Zhang Yi, who had not lobbied the Six Kingdoms to destroy the alliance of the Six Nations against Qin, had not yet been able to persuade the Six Kingdoms to form an alliance against Qin, but Wang Sunman was determined to unite the north and defend the last 600 miles of the royal city of Cheng Zhou.

On this day, some people are leaving, some people are coming back, and the flow of carriages and horses and people coming and going to Ruo Ao's Chu Zhongtang is even more non-stop, and all of them are noble.

After the battle of Chengpu, the major families of Chu State could not hold back the confrontation between Chu and Jin, and the Jin people lit the burning beacon smoke for the Chu people on the beacon tower of Wancheng, drifting all the way from Xinzheng to Wancheng, and going south along the north wind, which will blow through the entire Jingman, and reach the heart of Chu - Yingdu.

The provocation of the Jin State gave the nobles of the major families of the Chu State and even the King of Chu a chance to have a bloody front tooth.

Another great battle for hegemony in the Central Plains is slowly brewing in the competition and planning of the interests of all parties.

Nineteen years ago, the Battle of Chengpu.

The power of the state of Chu is growing, and it wants to dominate the Central Plains and try to go north.

At that time, King Cheng of Chu had already let Duke Wen of Jin return to China to ascend the throne, and the strength of the northern Jin State gradually recovered, and Duke Wen of Jin learned about King Cheng's plot, so he made the first move and had a war with Chu.

The Jin and Chu states then launched their first major battle for hegemony in the Central Plains at Chengpu (southwest of Juancheng, Shandong) in the Wei state. Jin Wengong used the tactics of "humble and arrogant" and "angry and scratching" to lure the enemy, and pretended to say to Cheng Dechen, who was the commander of the three armies of the Chu army, "When he was alone in the Chu State, he was helped by Chu, and he made a promise to "retreat" when he met the Chu army, and today's battle was fulfilled. So Duke Wen of Jin ordered the entire Jin army to retreat, avoid the edge of the Chu army, and retreat.

Cheng Dechen because of greed, seeing the great joy, regardless of the admonition of the king of Chu Cheng, led the army to advance, was annihilated by the Jin army on both wings, so far the Chu army was defeated, the first battle for the hegemony of the Central Plains of the Chu State stopped at the Wei State, and established the position of the overlord of the Central Plains of the Jin State, resulting in heavy losses of the Chu army, condemned by the lords of various families, Cheng Dechen was defeated because of this battle.

Cheng has been in a slump for many years and does not dare to advance.

And after nineteen years, two generations of kings, in this battle, Chu, Jin, the two major northern and southern hegemonic countries in the world, who wins and who loses?
