"Changping-kun, don't come to harm's way. Seeing Changping Jun coming in, Xiang Yan hurriedly got up to greet him.

Changping Jun clasped his fists at Xiang Yan and said, "Marshal Xiang is polite." ”

Xiang Yan invited Chang Pingjun to sit down, ordered someone to serve him a cup of tea, and said: "Now is the wartime, and there is not much good tea in the Marshal's Mansion, so Chang Wenjun will ask the general to drink it." ”

"It doesn't matter. Changpingjun took a sip of the smoking teacup and put the teacup on the table in front of him, and then said to Xiang Yan: "Marshal, Benjun came today to visit the marshal, and secondly, to ask the marshal to do Benjun a favor." ”

Xiang Yan said: "What did Chang Wenjun say, not long ago, Chang Wenjun raised an army against Qin and helped Ben Shuai defeat the 200,000 troops of Li Xin and Meng Wu of Qin State, and Ben Shuai has not had time to Xie Changpingjun." Since Chang Pingjun has asked for something today, Ben Shuai promised Chang Wenjun. ”

"Okay, Dashuai is really a cheerful person. Changping Jun said, "Actually, there is nothing else, this Jun is originally from Chu State, and he is a relative of Chu State, because the first king of Chu State looked down on me and other brothers, so we followed the county lord to Qin State." Later, King Yingzheng of Qin wanted to dominate the world and concentrate all the power in his own hands, and my two brothers were sent by him to the barren place of Chendi, and heard that the marshal raised troops to resist Qin, and Benjun and others as Chu people of course had to contribute. ”

Changpingjun paused, he looked at Xiang Yan's face, saw that he didn't react, and then continued: "It's not a secret, if the king of Chu goes out of the city and surrenders to the king of Qin three days later, then no matter how Ying Zheng wants to settle these ministers of the Chu state, this monarch will die." However, Benjun didn't want to die at this time, so Benjun came to see Dashuai today because he wanted Dashuai to save me from the city. ”

After listening to Changping Jun's words, Xiang Yan felt that this was also common sense, the kings of Qin have always liked it, all the rights are in their own hands, and they will never be soft on those who betray them, last time Changping Jun helped him defeat Li Xin and Meng Wu's army, and also let Meng Wu die on the battlefield, if Shouchun City was broken by the Qin army three days later, Chang Wenjun would definitely be unable to escape death.

At the beginning, he did promise to owe Changping Jun a favor, but now he came to him to help save his life, but he just returned this favor. Xiang Yan has made plans for the surrender or refusal of the King of Chu, according to his military exploits, Yingzheng will never forgive him, not to mention that as the commander of an army, how can he surrender to others without a fight?

Xiang Yan stroked the beard on his chin and said to Changping Jun: "Since the gentleman has opened this mouth, this handsome man has spoken first, so naturally he will not refuse the gentleman." To tell the truth, although he can't figure out the king's thoughts, he has already arranged a way out. Qin Jun died more than 100,000 at the hands of Ben Shuai, and Ying Zheng will never let go of Ben Shuai's life. Three days later, regardless of whether the king surrendered or the Qin army broke through the city gate, please follow Xiang Liang, the son of the commander, and he will take the king to escape from the city. What do you think?"

"Okay, Benjun thanked Marshal Xiang here, and Benjun will come back in three days. Chang Pingjun said.

The three days passed quickly, but for the people in Shouchun City, it was like a year. Although the Qin army did not attack the city, it practiced in Shouchun City every day, and the roar of the Qin army spread to the city, which made the people of Chu in the city tremble, and everyone would feel that the Qin army would definitely attack it, but what the Qin army would do after attacking the city Everyone was unsure.

Even the people of Chu know that the 100,000 Chu troops in the city alone can't stop the Qin army's siege, and as the king of Chu, he also knows in his heart that he knows better than anyone that his throne has come to an end, and the great inheritance passed on to him by his ancestors has almost all fallen into the hands of the Qin people.

In the past three days, the ministers of the state of Chu still went to the palace hall to go to court, but the king of Chu did not show up, and every time it was the chamberlain around the king of Chu who announced to everyone that he would not hold a court meeting, so that all the ministers went home.

After the envoys of the Qin State left, they came to the palace in the palace to worship the ancestors and the ancestors of the Chu State in the palace, sat down on the futon in front of the ranks, and looked at the spiritual seats of the first kings of the Chu State, including their own fathers, grandfathers, and grandfathers. The spiritual positions of these people were placed there, as if they were laughing at their own uselessness, and did not pass them on to their own country.

"The kings of the past generations, the sons of the sons of the Sons of the Fathers have come to ask you for their sins. He knelt on the futon, looked at the ranking of the ancestors and ancestors, and said, "Today, there is a strong Qin Fan and my Chu realm, it is not that the children and grandchildren are incompetent, but the destiny of heaven is not in my Chu country, but in his Qin country." The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the widow is bowing here in good faith today, please can you give the widow a hint, do you want the widow to surrender to the king of Qin or defend the city and be a king who died in battle?"

There was no sound in the main hall dedicated to the ancestral throne, only the crackling sound of lit candles burning the lamp oil.

He knelt on the futon and muttered: "Father, the mud throne was handed over to the widow that day, so that the widow can be diligent in government and love the people, and raise the army and strengthen the country." The widows have all done what you said, but what about now? The Qin army is even stronger than our Chu state, we have an army of 400,000, and his Qin army has 600,000. A few years ago, the princes of the world stood side by side, but now they have been swept away by King Yingzheng of Qin, and only our Chu State and Qi State are left in this world. The State of Qi is weak and incompetent, and has long regarded itself as an ally of the State of Qin, so now only our State of Chu is left, and now it is about to become the bag of his Yingzheng. ”

......

"Your Majesty. Outside the hall came the voice of the chamberlain. Qi Yan reads

He didn't get up, but asked, "What's the matter?"

"The third solstice has arrived, and all the ministers have gathered together in the court to wait for the king. ”

He stayed here for three days, eating only a few simple meals brought by the chamberlain every day. At this time, he looked like a different person from three days ago, his hair was messy, his crown was thrown aside at will, and the clothes on his body were sloppy and loose. When he opened the door of the palace, he jumped the inner eunuch outside.

He stretched out his hand to block out the sun, closed his eyes, and said, "Three days have passed so quickly?" ”

The chamberlain entered the hall and took the crown that had fallen to the ground in his hand, and then quickly followed the king of Chu who was walking in front.

The appearance of the negative skulls also frightened the ministers of the Chu State, and they did not expect that the King of Chu would become like this within three days.

All the people just wanted to kneel, but they were stopped by the negative man waving his hand in advance. Sitting on the throne, he looked at the ministers in front of him, and he smiled. "Yo, people are here today. Much more people than the previous two days, not bad. ”

All the ministers were silent, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet the gaze of the king of Chu. Only a few people such as Mi Tao and Xiang Yan stood in their seats, and they looked at the king of Chu, wanting to know from his mouth how the final fate of the state of Chu should end.

Negative Shu looked at Mi Tao, "You are the widow's cousin, and you are also the father-in-law of King Yingzheng of Qin, I think you should be the happiest at this time, after all, this world is about to become your son-in-law." ”

Mi Tao bowed slightly, and then said: "The king is laughing, as long as the king is willing to surrender to the king of Qin, then the king can still continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, no worse than being a hard-working king, don't you say?"

As a Chu person, he repeatedly instigated the king to surrender to the king of another country, and believe it or not, Ben Shuai beheaded you with a knife. Xiang Yan said angrily, he had been unhappy with Qi Tao for a long time, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time today finally broke out.

He signaled to stop the angry Xiang Yan, and he said: "Old General Xiang, why are you so angry? What he said is not wrong, the state of Chu has come to this day in the hands of the widows, and the widows can only blame the incompetence of the widows. ”

"Your Majesty!" Xiang Yan fell to his knees with a thud, and he said: "As long as the king gives an order, Ben Shuai will rush out of the city with the soldiers of the Chu State to protect the king, and today he Qin State destroyed our Chu State, and when the coming day, it is not impossible for my Chu State to make a comeback." I just hope that the king can endure the anger for a while and not do stupid things. ”

He stepped down from the throne, helped him up in front of Xiang Yan, slapped his hand heavily, then put a small box in his hand, slapped it heavily, and then turned around and walked towards Mi Tao.

walked up to Mi Tao, waved his hand, and the eunuch holding the crown hurriedly ran over.

He took the crown in his hand and handed it to Mi Tao. "For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, the widow promised to surrender to the king of Qin. But you have to make sure that the Qin army will never disturb the people in the city, and if you can do it, you will take the crown of the widow and surrender to the Qin army. ”

"The king is wise. Mi Tao took the crown in his hand and smiled slightly.

Mi Tao glanced at Xiang Yan, who wanted to eat himself, snorted coldly, and then walked out of the hall, and almost all the ministers behind him followed, and followed Mi Tao to surrender to the Qin army outside the city.

"Let's go, you are tired, you need to rest. After explaining everything, he ignored the only remaining Xiang Yan, Xiang Qu, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the palace, as well as several generals under them, and then returned to the harem.
