Sure enough, then I heard the king of Chu speak: "Bring Peng Jun, Lu Jun and others to the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, four emaciated feudal monarchs were immediately pressed to the palace by the palace guards.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at the four people kneeling in the hall, and said angrily: "Peng Jun, can you be convicted?" ”

When Peng Jun and the four of them heard this, they immediately bowed again and again: "The king, the minister is guilty, and he is willing to atone for his crime with his title, and please let the king be lenient." ”

"Knighthood!" Xiong Huai sneered, and then spoke: "Peng Jun, Hanzhong is lost, and the Qin army is killing Shang Yong, but as a result, not only did you not take the children of the fief to Fang County to defend it, but instead abandoned the city and fled, causing the morale of Fang County to plummet, and it was broken by the Qin army in an hour, and then the Qin army killed Shang Yong." As a result, Shangyong was caught off guard and was broken in less than half a day.

If the guards of the outnumbered people arrived in time, I am afraid that Yin Jun Huang Jun and the 30,000 warriors of my Chu State would all have to be hated in Hanyang. Please Peng Jun tell me for yourself, what title do you use to atone for this crime. ”

As soon as Xiong Huai's voice fell, all the ministers looked at Peng Jun coldly.

This kind of blame fell on him, Peng Jun was completely hopeless, and it was difficult to die.

"This... This..." Peng Jun was speechless for a moment, and sweat instantly wet his clothes.

Fang County is small, there are not many people, and all the soldiers have been overturned in Hanzhong, even if he adds his slave children, in the face of tens of thousands of Qin troops led by Gan Mao, he will not be able to hold out for long.

Originally, Peng Jun did not plan to take his clansmen to die in Fang County, but intended to return to Yingdu to operate in order to escape death.

No, the Danxi defense line was subsequently broken under the defection of the traitors, and then the entire Hanbei also fell into the hands of the Qin-Han coalition army.

Under this crisis of annihilation, Peng Jun's escape behavior is particularly conspicuous.

At this time, as soon as Yin Jun remembered that he was almost in Gan Mao's ambush and was beaten to almost commit suicide, a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart, so he bowed to the king of Chu and said: "Great king, the feudal monarch abandoned the land and fled, and the feudal was removed according to the law. According to the law, Peng Jun should be deprived of his title, his fief should be recovered, Peng Jun should be executed, and the whole clan should be reduced to a concubine. ”

When Peng Jun heard this, he was immediately paralyzed.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai looked at Tingli Sun Gao expressionlessly and asked, "Tingli, according to the laws of Chu State, is what Yin Jun said true?" ”

Sun Gao responded: "Back to the king, just as Yin Jun said. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and said in a cold tone: "Pass the edict, deprive Peng Jun of his title, take back the fief, and execute Peng Jun and his sons together, and in addition, Peng Jun's entire family will be reduced to concubines." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shandu Jun, who had also lost his fiefdom, and continued: "In the face of the attack of the Qin army, Shandu Jun also abandoned the land and fled, according to Peng Jun's example, kill!" ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai waved his hand, and the palace guards immediately dragged Peng Jun and the others away.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Lu Jun and Luo Jun who were trembling below.

The fiefdom of these two guys is not far south of Xiangyang, and they also saw that something was wrong and left immediately.

But because Xiangyang has not been lost, their fiefdom is still there.

At this time, Xiong Huai smiled coldly, and then spoke: "Lu Jun and Luo Jun, under the pressure of the enemy's army, return to Yingdu without permission, according to the law, and remove the seal."

The edict of the widow was passed on, depriving Lu Jun of his title, cutting off all the titles of the two clans, taking back the territory, and distributing the Dongting to the whole clan to set an example. ”

When Lu Jun and the others heard this, the king of Chu spared their lives, and immediately knelt down excitedly, and at the same time, said incoherently: "Thank you for the grace of the king not to kill..."

After Lu Jun and the others were taken away, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers in the palace and said: "Zhuqing, if you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, this is the rule of widows." I also hope that Zhuqing will take Peng Jun and others as a warning and go to the national disaster together with the widows. As long as you serve the kingdom, the widow will not be burdened. ”

When the ministers heard this, they bowed together: "I am willing to serve the king!" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he spoke: "Zhuqing, the Qin and Han coalition forces are strong, but at this time, Qi and Wei are reluctant to agree to the widow's request for peace, so that the army of Sima of our Zhu State cannot come back to help. At this time of crisis, the widow decided not to wait for news from Qi and Wei, and recruited warriors from the country again to prepare for the unexpected. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai paused, then looked around at the ministers, and continued: "Although Xiangyang Shou Qu Yuan sent a message to the widow, saying that he had led more than 200,000 people in Xiangyang, he was willing to defend Xiangyang to the death and live and die with Xiangyang City. However, Xiangyang City was already surrounded by the Qin-Han Coalition Army at the moment, and it was difficult for reinforcements to enter the city, and it was difficult for the newly recruited army to confront the Qin army in the field.

Therefore, just in case, the widow decided that all the troops recruited from all over the country would gather in Yingdu, and after the widow personally trained for a while, he would go to Yancheng to defend it.

I don't know if you have any objections? ”

When the ministers heard this, even if some people were unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to open their mouths to oppose it.

So, the ministers bowed in unison: "The king is wise! ”

Seeing that no one objected, Xiong Huai smiled again, and then waved his hand: "Okay, since that's the case, then retreat!" ”

After the ministers left, Xiong Huai sat on the throne, looked at the direction in which the ministers left, and said secretly:

Seeing that the Qin and Han coalition forces were killed, but the men from all over the country were transferred to Yingdu by the widows, and the fief could not be defended.

I wonder what you would do in this case?

Then, Xiong Huai remembered that during this time, the feudal monarchs who took refuge in Zilan frequently sent people to visit the feudal monarchs of Hannan and connected them with each other.

Thinking about it, the corners of Xiong Huai's mouth hooked, and a chill appeared on his face.

Hanbei has been removed, and next, it's Hannan's turn...

Yingdu Hotel.

More than ten feudal monarchs of the southern and northern Hannan rivers or their descendants gathered together, and the young Yiling Jun took the lead in speaking: "Gentlemen, I don't know what you think of today's court discussion? ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were all heavy.

At this time, Xijun's face was ugly and said: "Peng Jun and the others all deserve it, but if you deal with Peng Jun and them, the king can be punished, and there is no need for me to wait to come to Yingdu." Now the king not only did not punish Yin Jun, but rewarded them heavily, and at the same time severely punished Peng Jun and the four others. ”

Saying that, Xijun looked at everyone, and then said with a heavy face: "Thinking about it, I'm afraid that the king knows that Sheng Jun and the others are going south, and they are worried that we will take refuge in Zilan, so that I can resist when the Qin-Han coalition army comes." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, just as they thought before, the purpose of the King of Chu to summon the feudal monarch this time was to warn them.

Yilingjun shook his head and said: "Gentlemen, the old man's concern is not how the king deals with Peng Jun, but how the king transferred men from all over the world to Yingdu, instead of going to defend Yancheng. I wonder what you think about this? ”

Everyone was stunned, thought for a while, and suddenly their faces changed greatly.

At this time, Nanjun panicked and said: "Yilingjun, are you saying that the king is careful that Xiangyang is not guaranteed, and in addition, he also has little confidence in Yancheng, so he plans to defend Yingdu?" ”
