Chapter 102: Old hatred is hard to get rid of
The ambitious Uncle Wang Chu Daxing, under the full guarantee of Nie Wushuang, was finally relieved. From this moment on, he rushed to the direction of seizing the throne with no hesitation.
Chu Daxing is cunning and cunning, so naturally he is not so easy to deceive. After a little thought in his heart, he understood that Nie Wushuang had not lied to him on this issue. Because the current situation in the world is very obvious, for the King of Qin, destroying the Zhao State does not have any great benefit to him.
No matter which direction you look at, the Qin and Zhao states do not have a boundary. The two countries were separated by the kingdoms of Shu and Wei. If the state of Zhao is destroyed, the biggest beneficiary will not be the state of Qin but the state of Wei! The military strength and comprehensive national strength of Wei are only slightly inferior to those of Qin. If the king of Wei gets a large piece of land in Zhao, it will really be like a tiger's wings, and for Qin, there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit.
On the other hand, the Qin State, even when dividing the fruits after this military victory, was able to obtain the land of the Zhao State, which was just an "enclave". Such a piece of land hanging alone outside the territory of the Qin State is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. Moreover, under the watchful eye of other countries, it is necessary to allocate strong forces to garrison them, and it is not necessarily when there will be another war, but it will become a burden.
Such a situation can be foreseen by any strategist, let alone the eloquent Qin King Nie Feng. And since the Qin State did not want to occupy the land of the Zhao State, of course, it would not allow other countries to get involved. Therefore, after listening to Nie Wushuang's words, Chu Daxing immediately made a decision. As long as he can successfully realize his ambitions with the help of the Qin State, then even if he pays half of the country's financial resources to the Qin State as a reward, he is willing.
A conspiracy was achieved silently. Nie Wushuang and the mountain ghost general who followed him into Dragon City secretly lurked in this royal mansion, recuperating with peace of mind, while waiting for an opportunity, ready to kill with one blow.
Nie Wushuang already hated Chu Jiangmian in his heart. Not only did he give him his first taste of failure, but it also dealt a serious blow to his pride and conceit. If he couldn't kill Chu Jiangmian with his own hands, he didn't know if he would form a demon in his heart, and his cultivation would be difficult to improve in the future.
"Chu Jiangmian, the wound you left me, I must repay it on you tenfold and hundredfold! I hope that when the army will come to the city in the near future, and you will become a prisoner, you will not ask for mercy! ”
As for the promise to Uncle Wang Chu Daxing, Nie Wushuang smiled coldly. Since ancient times, soldiers have not tired of deceit, and each has shown its own strategy! He only promised him that the army of the Qin State would not attack Longcheng, but he did not guarantee that the armies of the other princes would not drive straight in! When Chu Liangsheng, the eldest son of the Zhao State, led the Southern Han Navy to trace the river, it didn't matter what happened to the Qin State!
Chu Daxing and Nie Wushuang, who had their own thoughts, were also full of confidence in their hearts. And Chu Qingyun, who had just returned to Dragon City a few days ago, was obviously not ready for his path to kingship. Since he walked out of Jinxiang Palace, he began to prepare and plan intensely.
As an adult son of Zhao Guo, Chu Qingyun, like Chu Liangsheng, has his own mansion. though
He hadn't been back for several years, but all the housekeepers, slaves, maidservants, etc., as well as all kinds of furnishings, were readily available.
However, after his return this time, the attendants immediately dismissed the subordinates of the palace according to his order. The reason for saying to them is because during the funeral of King Zhao, the prince was sad in his heart and needed to be alone and quiet to remember and meditate, and the deadline for everyone was to wait for the king to return after the funeral.
No one dared to say anything more about the orders of the master. As the people in the mansion dispersed, a huge mansion soon fell silent. And the attendants who followed Qingyun Gongzi back from Liaodong County immediately took control of the entire mansion. These two or three hundred people were all the henchmen that Chu Qingyun had cultivated over the past few years, and they had all sworn allegiance to this new master. This time I came back to help him achieve that goal.
The rain, which had been falling for days, finally stopped. Chu Qingyun sat on the rockery pavilion, calmly caressing the long knife that had been with him for several years. Several of his henchmen were whispering to him the news they had gathered from all over the world in the past two days.
Don't look at it, the main forces of the royal court led by Wang Shu Chu Daxing and Shangda Fu Zizhong have already expressed their support for him. But Chu Qingyun knew very well in his heart that such support was not reliable. What these guys who pushed him out in order to achieve their best interests were thinking, even if he couldn't know everything, he could roughly guess a few points.
"At the critical moment, we still need our own strength! Although you have had a hard past two days, you must not relax. The main figures in the royal court have all sent people to keep a close eye on me, and if there is any abnormal movement, I will come back immediately to inform ...... Especially on the side of Fushou Palace, we must always be vigilant! But we must not make irreparable mistakes because of a slight negligence. ”
Hearing his stern command, the attendants nodded yes again and again. Everyone has a desire for glory and wealth in their hearts. Ever since the moment they swore allegiance to this prince in the windswept sand, everyone had gambled on life and death. This time back to Dragon City, if it is successful, it will be rich and boundless. And in the event of failure, no one will be able to escape alive!
"Childe, just rest assured! The skills that the brothers have practiced in the life-and-death struggle with the northern Hu people are not just to be seen! No matter what the price is, it will definitely help Childe achieve his wish. ”
"Yes, Childe! You can prepare for the throne with peace of mind, and wait for the time to ascend to the throne. As for the rest of the things, the brothers will naturally take care of them...... The eldest prince Liangsheng has been closed, and he has no other forces behind him, so he will no longer pose any threat to the son. As for Chu Jiangmian, he has now betrayed his relatives and left, and he stays in that Fushou Palace, what tricks can he play? ”
Looking at the confident appearance of these capable subordinates, Chu Qingyun frowned. These guys always make him a little uneasy! They are all used to fighting on the battlefield, and it may not be a problem to cut people with a knife, but in this Dragon City, is it okay to stir up the storm?
"Don't just look at Chu Jiangmian, but also pay attention to the queen's side! That woman must not be careless, she
It is likely that he has a very powerful ...... in his hands! ”
"Childe is a little worried. In the past, when the king was there, of course, others were a little afraid of her. But now, who will obey her commands? A woman trapped in the deep palace, hehe! Hasn't Childe always hated her? When the time comes, we will naturally arrest her and leave her at the disposal of Childe! ”
Infinite hatred appeared in Chu Qingyun's eyes. Speaking of the queen woman, he missed his mother again. The brothers are right, they have never forgotten the hatred in their hearts over the years. He hated King Chulie of Zhao, and hated Queen Jiang Xin even more! Both men were responsible for his mother's death, and he vowed never to forgive them.
"Humph! I will naturally settle this account with her...... By the way, I heard that the veteran Zheng Liancheng and Gou Wuxian entered the Fushou Hall together, and they haven't come out yet. Have you ever found out what they are doing? ”
Chu Qingyun suddenly remembered this incident and hurriedly asked. Although those two old guys are no longer in the army, their influence should not be underestimated. If they do stand up, many generals and colonels in the army may have a reaction.
"They're all old and decrepit, what else does Childe need to worry about? I guess they're going in...... It's just to cry the king. Maybe he will reprimand Chu Jiangmian angrily. It won't affect the big picture! ”
Several of the henchmen didn't care about the two veterans. Chu Qingyun thought about it for a while, and felt that what everyone said was very reasonable. Don't say that they have been out of the army for many years, and even if they still have some influence, then what's the use? Zhao's armies were defending themselves from enemy attacks in all directions. Near Dragon City, there is only the dragoon army stationed there. The dragoons have always only obeyed the orders of King Zhao, and others have not been able to command them at all.
And after the death of King Zhao, Fei Yi, the only minister of state who can exert influence on the dragoon army, is disheartened and doesn't care about anything. The remaining role of the Dragoon seems to be that they can only defend the inside and outside of Dragon City, but they will not care about what is happening in the royal family at all.
After analyzing these situations, Chu Qingyun couldn't help but feel a lot more confident. He felt that with the elite strength of two or three hundred people in his hands, it was enough to protect him from sitting on that throne safely. And now what they need to wait for is that moment to come. Fortunately, you don't have to wait too long. On the day of the burial of King Zhao's coffin, there are only six or seven days left at most. He's been waiting for more than ten years, so what's the matter if he waits a few more days!
"When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely be rewarded for my meritorious deeds as promised! When the time comes, whatever you want to be a general, or a minister in the royal court, as long as you have the ability, you will get your wish...... And in the near future, I will personally lead you to wave 100,000 troops to defeat all the enemies who attack Zhao. I want all the people of Zhao Kingdom to see with their own eyes, their new king is definitely no worse than Chu Lie! ”
Chu Qingyun drew his sword and swore generously at the sky. The attendants who were loyal to him bowed down and thundered with joy.
"Do the king's command! I am willing to serve the king to death, although I go to the soup and fire, I will not give up! ”
