After Gongsun Yan took over the sword of the king of Chu, the ministers suddenly felt a loss in their hearts.

Since Wu Qi was killed, in the past two hundred years, a foreigner has once again appeared in the Chu State as the chief general of the Chu army.

The appearance of this situation made the ministers in the palace feel very uncomfortable.

What made the ministers even more uncomfortable was that at this moment, they couldn't stop it.

On the other side, after Gongsun Yan retreated, Xiong Huai spoke again: "Qin and Han are menacing, and our Chu State is fighting with the coalition forces at the same time in Hanshui, Chendi, and Huaishui, and the pressure is too great. It was the widow who decided to make peace with the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Zhao and Song. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they heard this, the state of Chu had already lost all the way, if it continued to fight with the four countries, it would be defeated all the way, especially the precarious Chen Di, if the Chen land was lost, and the alliance of the five countries converged into one, then the state of Chu was really hopeless.

In the case of not yet defeated, paying some price, suing for peace with the four countries, and then concentrating on dealing with the Qin-Han coalition army, this is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

Seeing the intention of the ministers, Xiong Huai continued: "Among the four countries, Qi and Wei are the main forces, so if you want to convince the four countries, Qi and Wei are the top priority.

Therefore, the widow was willing to ask Chu and Wei to make peace at the expense of Chen Cheng. For a period of one month, if Wei is unwilling, then let Wei continue to fight, and the widow will accompany him to the end.

I don't know which virtuous Qing is willing to go to Wei? ”

At this time, Zuo Yin Zhaochang took the initiative to respond: "King, the minister is willing to go to Wei." ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Zuoyin."

Saying that, Xiong Huai glanced at the crown prince, and then spoke: "On the side of the Qi country, the widow is willing to ask the king of Qi to withdraw his troops." The condition of the widow was to release the Qi general Tian Jia and the 20,000 Qi troops who had been captured before. If the king of Qi does not allow it, the bottom line of the widow is to take the prince as a hostage in exchange for the trust of the king of Qi.

I don't know who wants to go to the country of Qi? ”

Before the ministers could respond, the prince hurriedly spoke: "Father..."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he looked at the prince and said: "Prince, you are the prince of Chu State, and now when Chu State is in danger, it is time for you to serve the country!" ”

At this time, Zhao Chang, who was seriously lacking confidence in whether Gongsun Yan could hold Yancheng, immediately spoke: "Prince, the king is reasonable, at this time, the prince should go to Qi State." ”

Doctor Shangguan also gave the prince a look and persuaded him to agree.

At this time, the state of Chu was in a dilemma, Zilan already had the support of Qin and Han, and the prince should go to the state of Qi instead of staying in Yingdu. At the very least, there is a disagreement, if the prince has the support of the Qi State, then there is still a chance to re-ascend the throne.

Thinking about it, he spoke: "The king is wise. ”

Then, the ministers spoke one after another: "The king is wise! ”

Seeing this, the prince could only bow his head and say, "I am willing to rely on my father to decide." ”

After Chen Zhen saw that the prince agreed, he immediately spoke: "King, the minister is willing to go to the Qi country to persuade the king of Qi." ”

"Good!"

"As for the Song State, then take the current occupied area as the dividing line, and the widow recognizes the Song State's possession of Huaibei, and asks the Chu and Song countries to make peace. I don't know who wants to convince King Song? ”

Although the Chu and Song dynasties had de facto truce, if they could formally make peace, it would be excellent news for the disintegration of the countries and even the persuasion of the Qi and Wei countries.

At this time, Zuo Cheng responded: "King, please go and persuade King Song." ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked: "The widow is willing to take out three thousand gold, who is willing to bribe Zhao Guo to let Zhao State withdraw from Chu State?" ”

Doctor Shangguan immediately responded: "The minister is willing to persuade King Zhao to withdraw his troops." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked: "I don't know if Zhuqing has other countermeasures, if there is, immediately discuss it, if not, retreat from the dynasty over there!" ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai waited for a while, and then saw Ling Yin Jingli walk to the middle of the main hall, put down the jade gui in his hand, took off his crown, and said: "The king, Sheng Jun and others took refuge in the rebellion against Zilan, so that there was the defeat of Danxi, and the minister was Ling Yin, the chief of the hundred officials, and the blame lies with me." Therefore, the minister asks the king to surrender! ”

Xiong Huai looked at Jing Li, and slowly spoke: "The general died of illness, this is the will of heaven, Sheng Jun and others took refuge in Zilan, this is a widow who has no way to teach his son, and his sin lies in the widow, not in Ling Yin." ”

Jing Li shook his head and said: "The king, this tragedy is all due to the incompetence of the ministers, even if the king is not to blame, the ministers are also uneasy." Therefore, the minister asked the king to dismiss the minister and remove the minister from the post of Lingyin. ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a long time, and then nodded slowly under the gaze of the ministers.

Soon.

While Xiong Huai was handling official business, Li Qiucang came to Xiong Huai's side in a panic and hurriedly reported: "King, Yin Jingli has just killed himself in his own mansion. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "Promoted Yin Jingli to be the Marquis of Mai, and buried him with the gifts of the princes." The eldest son of Jingli is Maijun, and the other four sons are all knighted, enjoying 300 households.

Spread the edict to the prince and let the prince send Maihou on behalf of the widow! ”

"Yui!"

On the same day, on the east bank of Danshui, Yin Jun led 30,000 Chu troops under his command to quickly rush south.

Since Yin Jun learned of the fiasco of Xiyi three days ago, and then Jin Jun's troops were scattered again, he immediately burned the grain camp of his army and all the baggage, and then retreated to Yancheng overnight.

After a night and a day of rapid marching, at this moment, Yin Jun finally rushed from Dankou to the Danhan intersection.

After seeing that there was no Qin army on the Han River, Yin Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Gan Mao had already broken through Shangyong and intercepted him in Hanshui, but fortunately, this worst thing did not happen.

Thinking about it, Yin Jun exhaled quickly, and then asked left and right, "Where are the chasing soldiers of the Wild Disease?" ”

Huang Jun, who accompanied him, immediately responded: "General, the scout has come to report that the 50,000 Qin troops led by Yu Liji have been killed thirty miles behind us. ”

"So fast! This mad dog is biting tightly, can he still catch up with our army? Yin Jun cursed, and then immediately urged the army: "Order, speed up the march, as long as we pass the Deng land, it will be safe." ”

"No!"

At the repeated urging of the generals of the Chu army, soon, the Chu army accelerated again.

Then, the army crossed the wide terrain at the confluence of the two rivers and galloped south for more than ten miles along the Han River, as the road gradually narrowed.

Suddenly, a scout hurriedly ran to Yin Jun's side and reported: "Report to the general, it's not good, the scout in front has come to report, and the Qin army has been found ten miles away." The Qin army has 20,000 people, and it has already set up a position, and the leader is none other than Gan Mao, the left prime minister of Qin."

"What!?" Yin Jun was shocked when he heard this.

"Why is Gan Mao ambushing here? Could it be that Shangyong City didn't hold even a day? Damn it! ”

After cursing, Yin Jun quickly estimated the situation.

The Chu army ran wildly for a day and a night, and the soldiers were already tired, and the Qin army set up a position here, obviously waiting for work. The Chu army was unprepared, while the Qin army had been prepared for a long time, and the odds of victory were not great. Although he was in the state of Chu, he had no reinforcements, and although the Qin army was deep in the state of Chu, there were still 50,000 Qin troops behind him.

At this time, forward and backward, they will fall into the calculation of the Qin army, if it is to the east, through the mountains and forests in the east, and retreat to Wancheng?
