When Xiong Huai heard Gongsun Yan's recommendation of Zhaoju, his heart was slightly stagnant.

This time, he led the army to South Korea to rescue, not only to face Qin Guo Ganmao, but also to face Uncle Han Xiang. Gan Mao is okay, after all, he is an enemy, so he can do it.

And where is the uncle is not ordinary, now Yiyang has gathered more than 100,000 Han troops, and the rescue of the Chu army is only 100,000, plus the identity of the uncle Han Xiang, if the status of the person who goes is low, it will be difficult to straighten up in front of the uncle.

Therefore, although there are many generals in Yingdu now, in fact, the only suitable candidates for the main generals are Ling Yin Zhaoju and Zuo Sima Gongsun Yan.

He asked just now in the hope that Gongsun Yan would lead the army to the battle.

However, now Gongsun Yan has recommended Zhaoju.

As a result, Xiong Huai suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister knows that the king wants the minister to lead the army to the battle, but the minister knows his physical condition, and the minister's current body is not as good as a day, and if it drags on for a day, it will be a day.

But if you lead the troops to go on the expedition, the minister really can't do it. It's not a pity for the minister to die, but if the minister dies of illness in front of the battle and destroys the king's strategy, then the old minister will be to blame even if he dies! ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and then slowly looked at Gongsun Yan, but saw that his hair and beard were all white, and his face was no longer ruddy as before, but faintly exuded a dead ash, and he looked extremely poor in physical condition.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai sighed slightly, and his eyes were slightly moist and said, "It's the widow who is demanding." ”

"King Xie is considerate." Gongsun Yan thanked him.

After a pause, Xiong Huai suddenly remembered Zhaoyu, who had died of illness before, and remembered that now there is a vacant name of Taifu, but he is idle in Huanyuan, who lives in Taixue for the elderly. Although Huan Yuan is older than Gongsun Yan, his complexion is much better than that of Gongsun Yan.

This may not only be because Gongsun Yan has been leading the troops to fight all year round and has accumulated many dark diseases in his body, but also because Gongsun Yan is still working hard.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan and slowly spoke: "Rhino head, you and I have known each other for nearly thirty years, and you have served the widow for more than ten years, and the widow is grateful. You..."

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan and hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, and then said: "Rhino head, you should take care of yourself at home next, as for the military affairs in the country, the widow will find someone else to replace you." ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned, was silent for a long time, and asked slowly: "Dare to ask the king, I don't know who you want?" ”

Xiong Huai opened his mouth, and then fell silent.

He really doesn't have a good candidate for this, it's not that there is no one in Chu State, there are still many people in the office who can be qualified for Zuo Sima.

However, those people may not be of the same mind as him.

At this critical moment, when Sima Tang is far away in Jiangdong, Zuo Sima has the responsibility of transferring troops, and at this moment, Zuo Sima's position must not be handed over to a person who has no clear mind.

At this time, Gongsun Yan saw that the king of Chu did not answer immediately, so he sighed: "Great king, in his life, the old minister has been a minister in the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han, although the minister has not been a Ling Yin in the state of Chu, but the minister knows that the king trusts the minister more than the other three kingdoms, not only let the minister train the guards, but also hand over the guards to the command of the minister, and even let the ministers guard the left and right every time he goes on an expedition."

In the past, the king treated me as a soldier, but now he is willing to repay the king with a soldier. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he looked at Gongsun Yan excitedly, and met Gongsun Yan's unwavering gaze, and suddenly a wave of emotion came to his eyes from Xiong Huai's heart.

After a long time, Xiong Huai nodded vigorously: "Okay, then according to the meaning of the rhino head, the candidate for the main general this time is Ling Yin." ”

The next day, when the Korean envoy came to ask for help again, Xiong Huai agreed to send troops to rescue Han on the spot, and immediately let Ling Yin Zhaoju be the main general, with Yinjun Zhuang Ji as the deputy general, and led 100,000 Chu troops in Yingdu to rescue South Korea.

Two days later, Zhao Ju led the army north, all the way to Yiyang.

A month later, the army arrived in Yiyang.

Yiyang City.

"Xiangguo, Chu Ling Yin Zhaoju led 100,000 Chu troops to Yiyang, and is now camping fifteen miles south of the city."

As soon as the uncle heard the scout's report, the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

He originally thought that after the Qin army attacked Yiyang, the Qin army would fight with Korea for a while and confirm the intention of South Korea. Or, the Chu army will be the same as ten years ago, and it will be ready to send troops, but South Korea will wait until the army is defeated by the Qin army, and there will be no Chu army.

However, unexpectedly, the Chu army came to support faster than he expected, and the Chu army arrived before the Qin army reached Yiyang.

This time, with the 100,000 reinforcements of the Chu State, the uncle was completely relieved.

Thinking about it, the uncle immediately ordered: "Order, prepare a heavy gift, and the prime minister will personally go to Chu Ying to visit Chu General Zhaoju." ”

"No."

"Someone comes, immediately summon the king, and say that the Chu army has arrived in Yiyang."

"No."

Chu camp in the south of the city.

"Ling Yin, Yin Jun sent someone to report that Uncle Han Xiang has come to visit, and he has arrived outside the camp."

"Huh?" Zhao Ju was slightly stunned when he heard this, he hadn't set up the barracks yet, and his uncle came in person.

At this moment, Zhao Ju's mind instantly appeared with his uncle's eager joy.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju smiled, and then said to Zhuang Ji beside him: "Uncle himself, the general should greet him in person, and General Zhuang will go with the general to greet the uncle." ”

"Yes, Ling Yin."

Soon, Zhao Ju and his uncle returned side by side, came to the main camp, and sat down with the guests.

Zhao Ju looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, when you first came here, I don't know how the battle is now?" ”

When the uncle heard this, his face darkened, he shook his head and sighed: "The situation is not optimistic, after the Qin army came out of the customs, it was like a bamboo, first conquering the curved land, and then breaking the scorched land, and then continued to advance eastward, captured Xiuyu, and then surrounded the pond. With the current offensive of the Qin army, I am afraid that it will not take ten days and a half to break the city, and then the troops will enter Yiyang. ”

Speaking of this, the uncle looked at Zhao Ju, his face became slightly relaxed, and said: "Fortunately, Ling Yin personally led the army to help, otherwise I don't know how long I can hold out under the offensive of the Qin army." ”

Zhao Ju said with a smile: "Uncle said that he was joking, Yiyang is an important town in your country, and Uncle Gong led more than 100,000 Han troops to guard this place. I believe that even if the Chu army is in the future, Gan Mao will inevitably return from the hands of his uncle.

However, in order to fulfill the responsibility of an ally, the widow will never sit idly by and watch his ally being bullied. Therefore, as soon as the widow received help from your country, he let him come to the rescue. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju looked at his uncle and said tentatively: "Now, I have led the army to Yiyang, and the Qin army will also arrive in Yiyang soon, how to fight next, I am a guest army in the lower body, and I am willing to listen to my uncle's orders." ”

When the uncle heard this, he immediately shook his head, Zhao Ju is the commander of the Chu State, and his status is still above him, the Han Xiang, and the Chu army is still a reinforcement, how dare he command the Chu people.

Thinking about it, the uncle immediately smiled: "Ling Yin said that he laughed..."

Michi.

Gan Mao was commanding the Qin army to attack the city, and the doorman Feng Xi hurriedly walked to his side: "Prime Minister, the spies from the east have come to report that Chu Ling Yin Zhaoju has personally led 100,000 Chu troops to Yiyang. ”
