Ejun knew the strategic direction of Chu a few years ago, and for this reason, he guarded Guangling for several years, and the purpose was for this war. If the king of Chu asked him to fight Wei now, he would not be happy.

Therefore, when the king of Chu heard the words of the king of Chu, he immediately saluted and said: "The king's love for the minister, the minister only has gratitude, and he will go all out to conquer the Yue kingdom for the king." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, then looked at Ejun's round belly and asked: "Ejun, the widow doesn't doubt Qing's determination, it's just that I haven't seen you for a few years, and Qing has not been in the battle during the period of time when Qing has been guarding Guangling Town, is it negligent in training, can you still charge for the widow?" ”

Seeing Xiong Huai staring at his stomach, Ejun was afraid that the king of Chu would keep him by his side and prevent him from leading the army to fight, so he suddenly said in a hurry: "Please rest assured, the minister has been in Guangling for several years, and he has been worried about the sneak attack of the Yue Kingdom day and night, and he has been entrusted by the king, so he has never dared to slack off. ”

Saying that, E Jun immediately picked up a bow from the chariot, did not put on the arrow, directly used both arms to pull the bow full, and then let go and then full, and then stopped, turned his head to Xiong Huai and asked, "King, how is it?" ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said, "Okay, Ejun is as brave as he was back then. ”

E Jun immediately grinned when he heard this.

On the other side, Jing Cui caught a glimpse of Ejun's pale face and the trembling sleeves that covered his hands, and thought thoughtfully.

At sunset.

The army arrived in Shou County, and then entered the camp that Ejun had already prepared.

In the main tent of the barracks, Xiong Huai sat on the main seat, glanced at the Chongqing in the tent, and then asked Jingcui: "Zhuguo, has there been news from Sima's side, how are they now?" ”

Jing Cui immediately responded: "Back to the king, the latest news from Sima: Three days ago, Sima had gathered 150,000 troops in Chencheng, and as soon as the army from Huainan arrived, he could send troops to attack Wei on the first day of the fifth month. ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked Chen Zhen, "Xianqing, how is the situation in various countries now?" ”

Chen Zhen immediately replied: "King, on the side of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue army led by the King of Yue has arrived in Huaibei, and joined forces with the Yue army in Huaibei, gathering a total of 150,000 troops, and is rushing to Zhongwu City at this moment. ”

Xiong Huai showed a mocking look, before the king of Yue always lagged behind the Chu army, this time as soon as he heard that the Chu state was going to transfer the Chu army in Guangling to attack the Qi state, he sent troops in advance.

lest the state of Chu see that the country of Yue was slow to send troops, so he dispelled the idea of transferring troops from Guangling.

Seeing that the King of Chu did not speak, Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "King, in addition, the news from the Song State that this time the King of Song was going to send troops to attack the Wei State, which was opposed by the ministers. ”

"The ministers are against?" Xiong Huai was stunned.

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "King, that's exactly the case. The ministers of the Song State believed that the Song State had sent troops to attack the Wei State last time, and had already taken revenge on the hatred of the Wei State for attacking the Song State last time. Now, the Song State should not provoke the Wei State, which is stronger than the Song State, for no reason, especially when the relations between the Qi and Song countries are extremely bad. Except for a small number of Song ministers, as well as Song Qing, Qiu Ye and others, many ministers of the Song State all bitterly advised the Song King not to make enemies everywhere, otherwise he would be punished by heaven. ”

Xiong Huai's pupils shrank when he heard this, the ministers opposed this kind of thing, it was not a contradiction between the enemy and me, and it was not easy to deal with.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked hesitantly, "What is the current situation in Song Kingdom?" ”

Chen Zhen pondered for a moment, and then said heavily: "King, after King Song was persuaded by the minister, he was overwhelmed. So he ordered someone to hang a blood bag outside the outer door of the Song Palace, and then personally shot it with an arrow, the arrow hit the blood bag, and the blood fell to the ground from the bag, and the land outside the Song Palace was all infected with blood and turned red. Then the king of Song took out the torture whip and beat the blood-stained land dozens of times..."

Xiong Huai frowned, not quite understanding King Song's actions, and asked, "Xianqing, what does King Song mean by this?" ”

The other ministers in the tent were also confused, and they all looked at Chen Zhen suspiciously.

Chen Zhen explained: "The king, the blood bag is nothing else, but a symbol of heaven, the king of Song shot the blood, just to show the ministers that the king of Song does not care about heaven at all, if God wants to punish him, he can also shoot it with arrows, so that the blood of heaven will flow all over the ground." ”

Xiong Huai said in surprise: "Chen Zhen, could it be that the king of Song whipped the land, does this mean whipping the earth?" ”

Chen Zhen nodded: "King, that's exactly the case." ”

Seeing Chen Zhen's confirmation, all the people in the tent gasped with pale faces, and then looked at each other, speechless.

The King of Song, who doesn't care about heaven and earth, and has no scruples, don't talk about the ministers of the Song State, then they, the courtiers of the Chu State, just listened and didn't see the invincible scene of the King of Song with their own eyes, so they were a little stunned in their hearts, not to mention the ministers of the Song State.

Xiong Huai was stunned, and was also shocked by King Song's taboos. Although he also has no scruples about ghosts and gods, he never dares to show his disdain in the face of superstitious ministers and countrymen. Not to mention the arrows that shoot up to the heavens and whip the earth.

And King Song, how dare he······

This is probably a real warrior!

Xiong Huai was stunned for a long time, and then he spoke: "Chen Qing, what happened to Song Guo in the end?" ”

Chen Zhen replied: "Back to the king, after the king of Song shot the sky and the earth, the ministers of the Song State panicked, and no one dared to look directly at the king of Song, and no one dared to admonish again. In the end, he could only watch as the King of Song ordered the conscription of the army, and then prepared to send troops to attack Wei. ”

After a pause, Chen Zhen continued: "Because of the conflict between the monarch and the minister, the Song State has recruited troops a few days late, but now it has also begun to recruit soldiers, and it should be able to send troops to attack Wei in early May. ”

Xiong Huai exhaled, then thought about it, swept over the faces of the generals, and suddenly asked: "Zhuqing, King Song is so unscrupulous, even heaven and earth are fearless. If the king of Song knew that the widow was deceiving him this time, then the king of Song would not be annoyed and angry, and then raise a large army to attack Chu. Also, will the upper doctor and the middle doctor arranged by the widow in the Song Kingdom be killed by the King of Song. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and then they all looked at Jing Cui.

Jing Cui saw that all the other people in the tent looked over, and immediately arched his hand and said: "King, if my Chu State can return with a great victory in this battle, the Song State will definitely send troops to attack Chu, and it has nothing to do with whether we deceived the Song King or not." ”

Then, Gongsun Yan said: "Great King, what Zhu Guo said is very true, not only Song Kingdom, but also several other countries. It's just that because of the deception of our Chu State, the time for the countries to attack may be faster. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood.

After a pause, Xiong Huai temporarily reassured King Song, who had made him feel uneasy, looked at Chen Zhen with a heavy face, and asked, "Chen Qing, what is the situation between Qin and Han now?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "King, the news from South Korea began to gather troops in early April, and now, South Korea has gathered nearly 60,000 troops in Anling, and many soldiers are still gathering in Anling. By the end of April, South Korea should be able to gather 100,000 South Korean troops in Anneung.

As for Qin, because of Wei Zhang, Qin had already begun to increase troops to Hexi in late March, and Gan Mao also rushed to Hexi at the end of March. By the end of April, Qin should be able to gather 200,000 Qin troops in Hexi.

Therefore, as long as May arrives, except for the Song State, which may be a little reluctant, all other countries should be able to attack the Wei State on the first day of the new year. ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai smiled: "These news are all good news for the widow. Now that the king of Yue has rushed to Huaibei, the widow can't let the king of Yue wait for a long time. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai instructed Jing Cui: "Zhuguo, pass the order, and set off to Zhongwu City immediately tomorrow morning." ”

"Yui!"

In the end, Xiong Huai instructed Douyou: "Xianqing, you will continue to stay in Shou County and provide support for the widows." ”

"Yui."
