Outside the city of Qinghe.

Zhaoju, who was sitting in the camp, was relieved to be relieved when he got Jing Cui to die of illness, and the king of Chu decided to break the Qi State first and return to Yingdu to make a decision.

After he got the news that Jing Cui was seriously ill, he persuaded the King of Chu to return to Yingdu, just so that he could replace Jing Cui as Ling Yin in time after Jing Cui's misfortune.

However, now that Jing Cui is really sick and dead, he doesn't want the King of Chu to return to Yingdu immediately.

persuaded the king of Chu to go back before, because there was no war at that time, he could go back with the king of Chu. Now he doesn't want the king of Chu to go back, because the big war is imminent, and he is the main general.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju couldn't help but look up at Qinghe City.

When the king of Chu was out on the expedition at the same time as him, Jing Cui died of illness at this time, and it was really not the right time to die!

The current situation is very delicate for him, if the king of Chu decides to use Zuotu Qu Yuan as the commander, then he...

But if the king of Chu uses him as a commander now, this will also be bad for him.

Not that the present is unfavorable, but in the future.

If he was appointed as Ling Yin by the King of Chu at this time of danger and turmoil, then how would he fight when he attacked Qi next.

After losing, he didn't have the face to continue to stay in Ling Yin's position. But if he wins the battle, with the merit of breaking Qi to save Yan, how will the king of Chu reward him for this Ling Yin.

Yin Zhaoyang, who was the commander of the year, also faced this problem, but Zhaoyang retreated by himself before he could fight the war for self-preservation.

Although the king of Chu has always been benevolent and righteous, even if the king of Chu is not afraid, he himself is afraid.

Therefore, the decision of the king of Chu to temporarily vacate the position of Ling Yin shows that the king has already belonged to him.

In the next battle of Vaqi, if he wins, he will be the only one who is in Yin's position, and if he loses, he will not be able to win Yin's position.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju perked up his spirits, and immediately commanded loudly outside: "Someone come, pass on the general's order, order the soldiers and horses, and the general will go to inspect the enemy situation around the Qinghe." ”

"No!"

The news of the death of the queen and Ling Yin reached Huaiyin one after another, and the entire Huaiyin was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

As soon as the news came out, both the people in the city and the soldiers in the army were panicked.

However, everyone found out that the king of Chu did not leave Huaiyin and return to Yingdu, but appeared in Huaiyin for three days as usual.

Seeing this, the unstable hearts of the people gradually settled down.

At this time, in Qinghe City on the opposite bank, Kuang Zhang stood on the south city wall with a group of generals, looking south at Huaiyin from afar.

"I heard that the queen of Chu and Ling Yin Jingcui both died of illness not long ago?"

Tian Da on the side nodded and responded: "That's true, according to the report from Yingdu's spies, Queen Chu and Ling Yin Jingcui all held a funeral in Yingdu, and this matter must not be fake." ”

Saying that, Tian Da shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, when I heard that it snowed heavily in Yingdu, the King of Chu did not stay in Yingdu, but stayed in Huiji in Jiangdong, otherwise, at the age of the King of Chu, he suddenly encountered such a cold weather... Tsk, maybe the King of Chu has died now. ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, his face was straight, and he reprimanded with a straight face: "Bastard, Hugh is rude, even if the king of Chu is the king of the Chu country, he is also the king of a country, but you are a courtier of the Qi country, and it is too rude to curse the king of Chu as a courtier." ”

When Tian Da heard this, his face showed a look of grievance: "But the general, if it weren't for the king of Chu who avoided the heavy snow, and then came to Huaiyin to confront the general, at this time, the general would have returned to Linzi a long time ago, where is there any need to stay in this Qinghe." ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He knew what Tian Da was talking about, some time ago, whether it was Linzi or this Qinghe, people rumored that the candidate for Xiangguo in the heart of Qi Wangdi was him Kuangzhang, as long as he returned to Linzi, he would be appointed as Xiangguo.

But it's a pity that because the king of Chu was making trouble in Jiangdong before, the state of Qi saw an opportunity, so the first king sent him to Qinghe to spy on the state of Chu and wait for an opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from the state of Chu.

However, to his disappointment, although Jiangdong was turbulent, it never became chaotic.

Later, the king of Qi and Qi Xiang died of illness, and he changed from spying on the state of Chu to guarding against the state of Chu.

Originally, when the Qi State was in turmoil, the Chu State did not take the opportunity to attack Qi, and Kuang Zhang thought that he would return to Linzi soon.

However, I never expected that the powerful Chu State had not yet moved, and the weak Yan State in the north took the lead in sending troops.

So, in order to prevent the Chu State from responding to the Yan State, his hope of returning to Linzi was instantly disappointed.

Later, the king of Qi hung in the vacancy for a long time before appointing Tian Wen and Ji Zi as prime ministers, and his hope of being the prime minister was also disappointed.

Thinking about it, Kuang Zhang shook his head, but didn't say anything.

After a pause, Kuang Zhang frowned and said, "Has the King of Chu been staying in Huaiyin for the past few days?" ”

"Not bad!" Tian Da nodded, then looked at Nanfang and said: "According to the report from the spies, after the death of Queen Chu and Ling Yin, rumors spread in Huaiyin City, and people's hearts were unstable. Subsequently, in the past two days, the king of Chu would take the important ministers of Chu to the north of the city every day to inspect, and for two days, the people of Chu saw that the king of Chu was still in Huaiyin, and gradually stabilized.

The king of Chu patrolled the city, many people saw it, and it was also seen by our army spies with their own eyes, the king of Chu was still in Huaiyin, and this matter could never be faked. ”

Kuang Zhang nodded, and said worriedly: "The queen ordered Yin to die, and the king of Chu did not return to Yingdu, but continued to stay in Huaiyin. It seems that the State of Chu has already made up its mind to attack Qi in a big way! ”

When Tian Da heard this, he said with a relaxed face: "General rest assured, the army on Qin Wei's side is about to be gathered, and it will crusade against Chu in a few days, as long as Qin and Wei move, Chu will be too busy to take care of itself, where is there any intention to attack my Qi State." ”

"Perhaps!" Kuang Zhang was noncommittal when he heard this, paused, and asked: "Didn't the South Korean side still agree to defect?" ”

"Not yet!" Tian Da shook his head: "Although I, Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, the four countries lobbied for South Korea, but Uncle Han Xianggong strongly advocated that South Korea remain neutral, but it was because King Han hesitated and did not agree. ”

"Uncle!" Kuang Zhang shook his head, that guy has always been a hardcore pro-Chu faction, and it is normal to obstruct it.

Thinking about it, Kuang Zhang smiled coldly, and then turned his gaze to the Chu army outside the city.

"I heard that Chu General Zhaoju has been very active these days!"

Tian Da showed a hint of heaviness: "General, during the previous period, Zhao Ju showed his face outside the city every morning, and then let the army besiege the city, while he himself stayed in the barracks outside the city all day.

However, in the past few days, Zhao Ju has been spying outside the city for a long time every day, and then he has been wandering around, as if he has other plans. ”

Kuang Zhang smiled, then slapped the city wall hard, and said meaningfully: "If what Ben Jiang expected is not bad, then Zhao Ju must be interested in Chu Xiang, and the city that Ben Jiang guards is regarded by him as a qualification for promotion." ”

"What?" Tian Da was stunned and exclaimed: "How dare he? ”

"Why wouldn't he dare!" Kuang Zhang shook his head with a smile: "Pass it down, let the sailor strengthen his vigilance, and the Chu State will soon take action..."
