Chapter 107: The proud soul of the Chu State

At this time, Xiang Yan finally understood, why in the Chu State, Qu Yuan would be excluded by many parties, it turned out that the fundamental problem was Qu Yuan's personality, too simple and upright, as we all know, the character is too straightforward and easy to offend people, plus Qu Yuan's own position, and at the same time loyal to the Chu State, so in this hypocritical Chu State, Qu Yuan is of course difficult to gain a foothold.

"Doctor Qu, Xiang Yan is a straightforward person, not to say you, now everyone in Chu is in danger, why is Dr. Qu not enough to integrate into the public, and he has to move forward alone according to his own ideas" Xiang Yan's words were refuted by Qu Yuan.

"The night is full of sky, don't you need stars? People who are confused and may not be sober are also at fault? Everyone is not patriotic, could it be that a courtier who is really for the sake of Chu State also makes people spurn? So aren't the only people who spit on loyal ministers be traitors" Qu Yuan's meaning, Xiang Yan understood.

But at this time, Xiang Yan hoped that Qu Yuan could be flexible, of course, Qu Yuan also knew Xiang Yan's kindness: "Patriotic feelings, don't give an inch"

Then Xiang Yan drew his sword and knelt on the ground.

"Doctor Qu, please accept Xiang Yan's worship, Doctor Qu's words made Xiang Yan deeply moved, he was able to completely ignore his personal safety for the belief of his country, such spirit and courage, even we as military generals are difficult to compare, Xiang Yan deeply admired" Looking at Xiang Yan's sincerity, Qu Yuan seemed to have found a confidant.

"Today, Qu Yuan can be fortunate to know Brother Xiang, maybe this is all providence" Qu Yuan looked at Xiang Yan, and felt very relieved in his heart, Qu Yuan was loyal and upright, but he was wise, he could see at a glance that Xiang Yan was a person of good character, maybe in the near future, when Qu Yuan himself was away, there were still righteous people in Chu State.

Qu Yuan had his own thoughts, and Xiang Yan certainly felt a feeling of being a hero who hated to see each other.

"Doctor Qu, what do you think in the future, just say that as long as Xiang Yan can achieve it, it will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses" Xiang Yan's meaning is actually hinted.

Qu Yuan could also hear that both of them were smart, Qu Yuan saw that Xiang Yan could be regarded as going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and what Xiang Yan responded to was naturally the biggest purpose of Qu Yuan's visit this time.

"Since Brother Xiang said so, then Qu Yuan didn't add much politeness, in fact, this time I traveled in the mountains and rivers in the Yan Yun generation, the essence is to observe the terrain and feel it, if I lead the Qin army, how will I cut down Chu" Qu Yuan's words, Xiang Yan felt very different.

"What? Qin people? Are the Qin people going to attack the state of Chu? Isn't Doctor Qu too worried, my Chu country has a lot of land and resources, and there are elite soldiers, it is really unwise to attack Chu State like this, and in recent years, Chu State and Qin State have been good friends, so the possibility of attacking each other is very small."

Xiang Yan's idea is actually the idea of all the upper class of the Chu people now, but it may be the case during the period of the Empress Dowager Xuan of Great Qin, but today's King Zhaoxiang is different, since King Zhaoxiang came to power, he has not been inclined to any vassal state, maybe in the early days, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji hoped to have a vassal state, follow the Qin State, rather than to please others.

Of course, Qu Yuan can see this very clearly, he is very able to understand Yingji, not a reasonable monarch, otherwise King Chu Huai would not have died in Qin, but King Chu Qingxiang felt that it was precisely because of Qin's treachery that he became the new king of Chu in advance, of course, Qin did not ask for any benefits from Chu, which made King Chu Qingxiang feel that Qin was afraid of the powerful Chu State, and the two countries could be friendly.

Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable, summing up the matter of King Huai, King Chu Qingxiang will not send an envoy to Qin, so maybe all the people of Chu think it is okay, and the rest of the things do not need to be made a big fuss.

If from the perspective of ordinary families, the hatred of killing the father is not shared, but the royal family is different from ordinary people, the blood of the royal family is cold, so if you can sit on the throne, you will have the qualifications to be called by the world, and your father or brother can be abandoned together as long as it is a stumbling block on the road to the throne.

On the other hand, in fact, King Qin has always been slow to give promises to King Chu Qingxiang, holding a grudge, in the heart of King Qin Zhaoxiang, only he owes people how can anyone owe him, he was teased, as a bold king, it must be a crusade or a decisive battle, but King Zhaoxiang is different, he is peaceful on the surface, and his heart is already full of murderous intentions.

"King Qin is not an ordinary person, what he wants to get, he will definitely take it without breaking his hands, and the army of Bai Qi has already been ready to move in Guanzhong, once he goes south, I am afraid that the Yanyun region of Chu State will be mighty."

At this point, Xiang Yan believed Qu Yuan's words no matter what, so he asked, "What does Xiang Yan need to do?" Please ask Dr. Qu to make Xiang Yan clear"

"Hey, it's a pity that my brother is only a thousand-commander, will the use of armor cause unnecessary trouble?"

"This doctor Qu can rest assured, if it is for the survival of the country, a little humiliation is nothing"

"Good! Since there is Brother Xiang, Qu Yuan will not be polite to Brother Xiang."

"Hmm"

At this time, Qu Yuan took Xiang Yan to the river on the side of Yan Yun, and signaled that although the land of Yan Yun is surrounded by water, it is a natural river after all.

Hearing this, Xiang Yan told Qu Yuan: "That Xiang Yan will report to the general at this time, maybe he will also understand such a tactic."

Qu Yuan clasped his hands together: "It's hard work"

After hearing this, Liu Chen was very surprised, and felt that Xiang Yan, as a thousand-commander, could actually think of such a problem, and was indeed a good talent, but who knew that it was actually Qu Yuan who repeatedly told him not to let Xiang Yan say that he had his own doubts.

Because Qu Yuan knew that he had offended a lot of people, even if it was the right information, no one would be willing to accept it, for the sake of the Chu State, what was the personal gain or loss.

But at the moment, it is a pity that although Xiang Yan's words are very reasonable, but after all, the words of a thousand commanders, easy convincing will not lose the dignity of the general, the people of Chu have a good face, this is not good, after thinking about it again, Liu Chen is just a sentence with multiple meanings.

"What the commander said is very true, but this way of fighting, if it is the state of Chu attacking the state of Qin, of course it is okay, but in a barbarian place like the state of Qin, if you want to attack the state of Chu in such a way, not to mention more, first of all, from the state of Chu, which has a lot of water, just controlling the water, the Qin people are a blind spot, not to mention the water irrigation, of course, if it is looking for our water conservancy people in the Chu country, maybe the result will be different, so let's do it, it is better for this general to write to my king, in the near future, don't flow out the water conservancy talents of the Chu country, so that the Qin people even if they have ......"

"General! Absolutely not" Xiang Yan interrupted Liu Chen's words, but Liu Chen instantly felt a kind of disrespect: "You are just a commander of a thousand and actually debating with General Ben?" ”

"Everyone deserves patriotism, and only Chu people are inferior, regardless of respect or inferiority"

"For the sake of your loyalty to the Chu State, General Ben doesn't care much about anything, but if there are blasphemy words against General Ben, it is unforgivable"

"General!" Xiang Yan wanted to defend that because the general felt that his dignity had been violated, perhaps returning to the king was the last concession.

Xiang Yan couldn't say anything, so he could only reply in frustration: "It's the general"

Moonlight, Qu Yuan looked worried, but he knew that the biggest shortcoming of the people of Chu was good face, if it was just for the sake of face and give up the future of a country, it was indeed inappropriate, Wu Qi changed the law in Chu to be strong, but unfortunately the big nobles were just for their own face and selfish interests, and finally a generation of generals who could save Chu fell down.

Chu is good at producing talents, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and so on...... But it's a pity that it's difficult for Chu to retain people, and the fundamental reason is that internal fighting is far better than external enemies.

"If the state of Chu continues like this, maybe the century-old foundation will be destroyed in one fell swoop"

Qu Yuan began to drink heavily, but when he was half drunk and half sober, Qu Yuan suddenly thought of temporarily calling private soldiers, the so-called private soldiers here actually refer to Qu Yuan making friends in private, so that he could get more than a thousand troops and be stationed in key places, so that he might be able to play a role in the most dangerous moments.

Thinking of this, Qu Yuan seemed to wake up suddenly, and wrote a letter to communicate with Xiang Yan in beautiful handwriting, and claimed that he would bear all the results by himself.

The letter begins: "The survival of the people lies in the country, the survival of the country lies in the king, the survival of the king lies in the generals, and the survival of the world lies in the details and strategies. Maybe it can stop the backflow of Yan Shui, so that the army can wrestle with the enemy as steadily as Mount Tai, Qu Yuan is grateful"

Looking at the letter, Xiang Yan squeezed it tightly, and said calmly: "Doctor Qu's meaning Xiang Yan must remember"

"What to remember?" Suddenly, Liu Chen appeared and came with the guards: "Bring the letter over"

The guards picked up the letter and gave it to Liu Chen, their eyes full of anger, and then asked Xiang Yan: "Are you trying to rebel?"

"Doctor Qu is a courtier of the Chu State, for the affairs of the Chu State, how can it come from the opposite"

"Yes, Qu Yuan is a courtier of the Chu State, doctor! But now he doesn't have military power in his hands, but he can mobilize the Chu army, isn't this a big rebellion?"

"General!"

"Needless to say, come on! Xiang Yan will be dismissed from his post and sent to prison to wait for his whereabouts"

"Yes"

"General! Checkmate! Xiang Yan is also dedicated to the state of Chu, why is this so, general, general! ”

"Only if the generals are not subject to military orders abroad, and there are no sergeants in the battle who do not listen to the dispatch, how can it be reasonable, drag it down!"

"You! Liu Chen, for the sake of your own face, you will harm the Chu State if you are confused, Liu Chen ......" The voice gradually faded away, Liu Chen's eyes were angry, and he picked up Xiang Yan's tea casually and drank it.

In Hangu Pass, Bai Qi has been waiting for the king's order, the bright moonlight is indifferent to Bai Qi's heart, and the nameless power is around Bai Qi, which instantly makes Bai Qi overwhelmed, Bai Qi's heart is full of sorrow, for the current attack on Chu State, Bai Qi has been looking forward to it for a long time, but unfortunately, he has never been able to get the opportunity.

"Wu Anjun, the Qin State and the Chu State are evenly matched, if you really want to attack the Chu State, you can have a chance of winning"

Then Bai Qi replied: "The country of Chu is rich in land and resources, the information is inconvenient, there are countless generals but the people are not in harmony, the king is smart, but the scheming is moving to deal with the courtiers, such a Chu country, the army can not be brave, the strategy can not be used, the battle to look forward and backward, use the army to be cautious"

Bai Qi's words, the deputy general nodded: "Look at my Qin State again, the soldiers can die and then die, the strong attraction, the military merit system, and the Lixin policy, so that every Qin person, in addition to fighting is fighting, the general has not yet started, and he basically knows the result, so it seems that the battle between the Qin State and the Chu State is nothing more than the general commander and the virtuous man."

At the end of Bai Qi's words, a letter from Chu Di entered the picture......
