The chariot of the ministers stopped at the gate of the palace, unlike other countries, the ministers of the Zhao State rarely have a good style of luxury, the frame is of course the best proof that can see a person's background, people who have the heart to show off, will be inlaid with all kinds of treasures on their carriages, carve the most beautiful and noble patterns, select the most handsome horses, of course, but also choose horses of the same color to show their family background, occasionally choose four red horses, occasionally replace with four snow-white ones.

In the eyes of all countries, Qi people are arrogant, pompous, love to brag, and even some Qi ministers in order to maintain decency, do not hesitate to borrow money to "maintain" their own frames, looking at their own luxury frames of horses of the same color, Qi people often shake their heads, and sigh to the left and right: I have too many good horses, I don't know which one to ride, I really envy those who only have a dozen horses at home!

Although their own horses were borrowed or rented for money, they did not admit it. The competitors of the Qi Kingdom, even more so, even if they were beaten to death by Le Yi on the battlefield, they had to boast: they almost cut off Le Yi's head at the beginning, but they just admired General Le Yi's character, so they didn't do that, and the later cavalry robbery was terrible, so we cut off his head.

Although it is likely that none of these people participated in the war against Yan, they did not admit it.

Chang'anjun, who has been a proton in Qi for many years, obviously inherits this fine tradition of the Qi people, his frame, next to everyone's carriage, is so conspicuous and eye-catching, even his driver, too, proudly raised his head, making a look of reluctance to talk to other people. When Pang Gong got out of the carriage, he happened to see Chang Anjun's frame, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

So he stayed here and did not enter the palace.

After waiting for a while, I saw Yu Qing and Dong Chengzi hurrying over to meet Pang Gong? Pang Gong looked at them, or did he leave Yu Qing, Dong Chengzi walked into the palace first, and Yu Qing followed Pang Gong's request? Helped Pang Gong into the palace, although Yu Qing looked weaker than Pang Gong, Pang Gong walked on the steps? said to Yu Qing seriously: "There is a lack of Lou Chang in the palace, which is not a good thing..."

Yu Qing was stunned, and Pang Gong winked at him? Didn't say anything more.

When they walked into the palace? Most of the ministers have already sat down? It's just that their eyes are on Chang'anjun not far away? Chang Anjun didn't pay any attention to these people's gazes? Just looked at Zheng Anping on the side and chatted happily with him? Zheng Anping spoke to him cautiously, and from time to time he came to praise? Chang Anjun laughed out loud? King Zhao sits on the top? Accepted the visit of Pang Gong and Yu Qing? He got up again and saluted back.

After everyone sat down, King Zhao said his first order, taking Chang'an Jun as the imperial history.

Although the ministers were surprised, no one came out to refute it, because the position of the imperial history is to record the words of the ministers, which can be regarded as a record of documents and history, and this position has always been held by the clan and the office, and it has never changed. After Chang'an Jun came back from Qi State, it was time to take up an official position, but everyone was disgusted with him, and no one got up to congratulate him, and then, King Zhao talked about Lou Yan again.

"I think I can pardon Lou Xuan's capital crime and imprison him!" , Chang'anjun immediately got up and said, his eyes were only on King Zhao's body, and he didn't look at the ministers under the stage, hearing his words, everyone was shocked, Dong Chengzi stood up angrily and said: "According to the law, his crimes cannot be forgiven!" He said angrily: "I compiled the law of Zhao with Ma Fujun, and the law is to tell everyone what not to do, how can the crime of Lou Yan be forgiven?" ”

"If we don't punish them severely, I'm afraid that more people will follow suit!"

Chang Anjun's eyes lit up, although he hated Dong Fatzi, but this fat man really said that he was in his heart, he gave Dong Chengzi an approving look, which made Dong Chengzi a little confused, but then he said: "After all, Lou Xuan also has a credit to Zhao Guo, and he can be pardoned." ”

"Not bad!" , Pang Gong nodded, looked at Chang Anjun with a smile, and said, "This is indeed the case." ”

"There can be no pardon, but it should be punished with death!" , Yu Qing suddenly spoke, Dong Chengzi looked at him in surprise, he didn't know why Yu Qing said this, so a dispute broke out again among the ministers, Chang Anjun, Zheng Anping, Pang Gong and others asked for release, Dong Chengzi, Lian Po, Xu Li asked for execution, but Yu Qing asked for capital punishment, and the three parties quarreled in the palace.

King Zhao, who had been frowning and worried, seemed a lot more relaxed at the moment, he looked at the ministers with a smile, which interrupted everyone's controversy and said: "Since all the princes can't say for sure, then let the widow decide, let Lou slow down and leave decently." Hearing his words, the crowd stopped arguing. Subsequently, Chang'anjun proposed to make peace with Qin and stop the war, and everyone quarreled again.

This scene was as usual, Yu Qing quarreled with Lou Chang, Xu Li quarreled with Pingyang Jun, and when he heard this familiar quarrel, King Zhao was finally able to feel a little relieved.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to the coalition army, first of all, the Zhou royal family, completely became a joke, Zhou Tianzi borrowed money to organize an army, this unlucky army went out and met a group of elite Qin grain transport team, and then it was completely wiped out, even the Duke of Western Zhou was captured and sent back to Xianyang, and the grain transport officer, with his own transport brigade, destroyed the Principality of Western Zhou.... The Western Zhou perished.

The biggest winner, of course, is the grain transport officer called Wang Qian, who successfully won the battle to destroy the country with a story full of legends. The Duke of the Western Zhou was treated inhumanely in Xianyang, and the King of Qin ordered the warriors to strip him of his clothes, whipped him like a livestock, and tied him to a pillar to parade through the streets, and finally demoted him to a concubine and drove him back, while the humiliated Duke of the Western Zhou committed suicide.

Subsequently, those rich and noble families who lent money to Zhou Tianzi began to go to the palace to collect debts.

In this period when the absolute monarchy was not strong, the ministers could talk about the king at will, they could jump to other families without being criticized, the rich and noble people could also meet and chat with the king, and the scholars could even reprimand the king's behavior, so when these rich and noble families came to collect the debts, poor Zhou Tianzi could only hide in the high platform of the palace, which can be described as "high debts".

Maybe it was because he was a little ruthless in being urged to pay debts, or maybe it was because he couldn't bear such humiliation, this old man who was about the same age as Pang Gong died in the high platform. It's just that he took pity on those who borrowed money from him, and he didn't recover his debts until he died.

The Zhou royal family lost the last king, and also lost the last fig leaf, so naked and humiliated.

This made those princes who had gathered together because of Zhou Tianzi's order, and some did not dare to act again, if it was just like this, it would be okay, and what was even worse was that because of the turmoil caused by the "rebellion", first Korea, the soldiers of South Korea followed Wei Wuji to fight, and a group of Wei people who had just been defeated guarded the palace, and the king of Han wanted to catch these Wei people, but was driven out of Xinzheng.

Fortunately, Minister Zhang Ping appeased the soldiers in time, welcomed King Han into Xinzheng again, and took over the command of the Xinzheng garrison.

Under the order of the King of Wei, Mao Sui still left, no longer obeyed Wei Wuji's orders, and was stationed on the border line of Wei, but the absurd order of the King of Wei hurt him, because his opponent, Bai Qi, would not let go of such a perfect opportunity, Bai Qi planned the Six Route Army, and made detailed arrangements for them, attacking the coalition forces from many aspects, cutting off the connection between each other, and annihilating them one by one.

The Wei people suffered another great defeat and hurriedly fled back to Wei.

Wei Wuji also suffered heavy losses, only the Chu people, under the command of Jing Yang, repelled Bai Qi's attack, probably because of the continuous defeats in these days, Jing Yang's ability to resist pressure has become extremely strong, even in the face of Bai Qi, he can no longer show flaws, the march is extremely cautious, the Chu people who originally suffered a heavy defeat, under the leadership of Jing Yang, actually advanced some.

But even then, it didn't help the battle situation much.

In the tent, Wei Wuji was telling the generals about his strategy, the war in these days, so that he also became a little vicissitudes, he pointed to the map, and said seriously: "We bring a small amount of baggage, the whole army marches rapidly, as long as we can pass through Taihang, travel a long distance, avoid the eyes and ears of the Qin people, and bypass Hangu Pass... We will definitely be able to win, it is too late to return to the aid in vain, we have to fight to Xianyang! ”

This is the most perfect strategy for Wei Wuji to think of against the enemy, through a detour, to be precise, it was Bai Qi who gave him inspiration, when Bai Qi and Jingyang fought in Nanyang, Bai Qi bypassed Jingyang through a big detour, and appeared directly behind him... Now, Xin Lingjun has thought of a bigger roundabout tactic, a thousand miles of detour, directly hitting Hedong and crossing Hangu Pass, he must let Bai Qi and Fan Ju also taste fear!

Just as Xinlingjun was perfecting his strategy, a soldier suddenly asked to see him outside the camp.

In order to conceal himself, Xin Lingjun did not leak his strategy, he knew what he wanted to do, and only a few trustworthy generals here, after the last betrayal, Wei Wuji no longer dared to do things with great fanfare, he blocked in front of Yutu, which allowed the soldiers to come in, when the soldiers walked in, he was obviously a little frightened, he hurriedly said: "We have lost contact with the surrounding counties..."

"Why didn't the scout come and tell me earlier?"

Wei Wuji said, but without waiting for the soldier's explanation, he gritted his teeth and hurriedly said, "Rapid support!" He hurriedly looked at Yutu again, the retreat of the Wei people disrupted his deployment a little, he originally wanted to involve Bai Qi with a part of the people, and then realize the big detour himself, but now there is no one to do involved, if he directly leads people to break through, and Bai Qi closes the road of retreat, isn't he going to die in Qindi?

Wei Wuji let out a long sigh helplessly and shook his head.

All countries sent troops to aid the Chu State, and the Qin State did not directly threaten them, and they were simply not willing to fight the Qin people with all their might. There were many contradictions within the coalition forces, they didn't trust each other, they were fierce in vain, Fan Ju was cunning, and Wei Wuji suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. If this continues, he can only be led by Bai Qi, who completely occupies the initiative on the battlefield, alas....

At the end of the year, the king of Wei ignored the dissuasion of Pingyuan Jun and Longyang Jun, insisted on sending people to negotiate peace with Qin, and once again withdrew from the Hanoi land he had captured. Of course, during the peace negotiation, Bai Qi, through his perfect control of time, took advantage of the opportunity for Wei to send people to negotiate peace, but the peace negotiation had not yet succeeded, quickly chased the retreating Wei army, and ordered the Qin troops everywhere to attack Wei.

The Qin people captured the high capital, the clan, there are tricks and other cities, although the Wei State is explaining, they are already negotiating peace, the Qin people have not withdrawn, after the end of the peace negotiation, the King of Wei was surprised to find that his territory has shrunk again, he hurriedly sent someone to hand over, but the Qin people did not agree, to Wei agreed to negotiate peace, has withdrawn from the battlefield, not to mention that the peace is to agree to the ownership of these cities as the reason, drove away the envoys of Wei.

When the king of Wei heard this, he fell ill on the bed.

Then there is South Korea, well, this time it is not the king of Han who is in charge, but the minister Zhang Ping, hoping that the king of Han can stop the war with Qin, South Korea has become the main battlefield, suffered too much losses, South Korea has no strength to fight anymore, even the Wei people stationed in Xinzheng have run away, Bai Qi may attack Xinzheng at any time to slaughter the city, and the king of Han will also send an envoy to negotiate peace with Qin.

The Qin State did not pay attention to their envoys, and directly sent someone to tell the King of Han to let Korea cede Yangcheng and lose two cities to the Qin State, which allowed Korea to get out of the battlefield.

And now in the head-on confrontation with the Qin State, there are only Zhao State and Chu State, the large-scale, elite gathering coalition army is not the opponent of the Qin State including Wu Anjun and Ying Hou, and then, it is the Chu State, the Chu State can no longer accept the war, the domestic public resentment is boiling, rebellions are everywhere, the beacon fire is in vain, the Chu people who have endured hunger for two years can no longer bear it, the Chu State has starved to death too many people, and has delayed the cultivation too many times.

The soldiers hated and hated the war, and they had no intention of continuing to fight, and they missed their families and hometowns incomparably, and a large number of soldiers defected, and a large number of soldiers committed suicide, crying day and night, crying the names of their families. Some nobles took advantage of this opportunity to win over the people to rebel against the royal family, and the Chu people killed each other.

The pressure on Chun Shenjun is also increasing, he wants to quell the local rebellion, he wants to relieve the people, he wants to transport food to the front line, and he also has to bear the infamy, causing wars, losing wars, rebellions, the war lasted for three years, Chun Shenjun persisted for three years, but in the end, he finally couldn't hold on, when Chun Shenjun vomited blood and fainted in front of Zhu Jian, the king of Chu finally made up his mind, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhao that Chu couldn't hold on, and Chu was going to negotiate peace.

When Chun Shenjun woke up, King Chu, whose eyes were red, was sitting aside.

"The King... I'm sorry... The state of Chu was defeated... Defeated..."

Chun Shenjun cried and shouted.

"No hindrance, no hindrance, we still have fertile land, millions of brave people, and General Jingyang, General Xiang Yan, and you... The state of Chu has become strong again, the state of Chu has become strong, and now the humiliation imposed on us by the state of Qin, the widow and you, must ask them for it back! Double the reward and return it to them!! The King of Chu held Chun Shenjun's hand tightly and said seriously.
