Xianyang, Qin State.

King Han was furious when he learned that Xinzheng was broken by the Zhao and Wei coalition forces and that all the clans had been captured by the enemy.

However, because the road to return to the east had already been blocked by the Wei State, and now the situation in Yiyang was unpredictable, the generals accompanying the army advised the king of Han not to return to the east at this time, so that he could operate well in Qin and stabilize his rule.

But where can King Han listen to it? He even personally raised his sword to kill the veteran uncle and infant who did not support his return to the east, and forced the army to return east.

King Han's move instantly directly led to the disintegration of Korean monarchs and ministers.

There are many generals in the army who are from the door of Uncle Ying, who were ordered to stay in Yongcheng and Xianyang, and the generals led by the violent kite, knowing that King Han's trip will fail, directly wrapped Han Wangcang less than ten years old, as the prince Han Ying who stayed behind, and let him replace the current Han Wangcang and establish himself as the king in Qin.

King Han, who had already arrived at Hangu Pass, learned that his crown prince had been proclaimed king by the generals left behind, and did not care, but continued to lead the army east to Yiyang.

When King Han's army passed through Quwo, not far to the east, it was suddenly intercepted by the nearly 100,000 troops of the Chu army that suddenly appeared in front.

After King Han knew that it was the Chu army in front, he ordered someone to ask him.

"Your Chu army doesn't help me Korea to regain the lost territory, but what are you doing here to block the way of the widows?"

The main general of the Chu army who led the army this time was Jing Cui, and the deputy generals were Sima Cuo and Zhuang Ji.

After Jingcui heard King Han's questioning, she ordered Sima Cuo to come and meet King Han.

As soon as King Han saw Sima Cuo, he ridiculed him.

"Do you think the widow is coming? It turned out to be Sima Cuo, the famous general of the defeated army of the Qin State in the past? ”

Sima Cuo didn't care about King Han's ridicule.

"After our King Chu learned the news that King Han was going to return east, he was very worried about your safety, King Han, so he instructed Da Sima Jingcui and my Sima Cuo and General Zhuang Yu to let us lead the troops to persuade King Han to you!"

King Han was very dissatisfied with the Chu army at this time, after all, when Wei attacked the new city, the king of Han asked for help from the Chu State, and the Chu State promised to help on the surface, but until the new city was breached, there was not a single soldier of the Chu State.

When Xinzheng was attacked by the Zhao army, King Han also asked for help from Chu, and also gave all Luyang and Wancheng to Chu in exchange for reinforcements.

After the king of Chu received the land, he also vowed to send troops to support Xinzheng, but in the end, the city of Xinzheng was broken, and he did not see any Chu troops nearby, so King Han was naturally resentful of the Chu army.

"Really? Your Chu army keeps saying that you support us in South Korea, have you supported it? Now at this time, your Chu army has come to block the way of the widows, are you Chu army here to help Zhao and Wei, or to help me Korea? ”

Sima Cuo immediately replied.

"King Han, you have misunderstood our King of Chu a little, our king has always regarded you as the closest ally of our Chu State among the nations, and now that the Wei State is so strong, I am afraid that even if our Chu and Han countries are united, it will be difficult to defeat the situation, so King Han, you must act cautiously at this time!"

King Han smiled lightly.

"Hmph, are you Chu State making fun of me, South Korea can't beat Wei State?"

Sima Cuo explained.

"How dare we, the State of Chu, make fun of your country? Moreover, your country is the closest ally of our Chu State, not to mention that now the army you left behind in Qin, King Han, has begun to turn away from you, think about what you can do if you defeat the Wei army in Yiyang this time? ”

King Han smiled coldly.

"If the Wei army is defeated this time, of course, this king will take advantage of the victory to pursue, recapture Xincheng and Yique all the way, and then recover Xinzheng."

Sima Cuo persuaded hard.

"King Han, think about it, why after the Wei and Zhao coalition forces captured Xinzheng, the capital of your country, the Zhao army just plundered the wealth of your country Xinzheng and returned north, and Wei did not take the opportunity to attack Yangcheng, Yangzhai and other places in your country, but has been attacking Yiyang, but has never been able to break through, is it true that with the current strength of Wei, will it really not be able to attack Yiyang City, which has only 50,000 defenders?"

King Han smiled lightly.

"The name of the strong city wall of Yiyang in South Korea is not inferior to Xinzheng, and the defender is also the most powerful general in my South Korea, Han Huang, the food prepared in the city is enough to support the soldiers and civilians in it for several years, do you think it was the Wei State that could be attacked in a month or two months?"

Sima Cuo pointed in the direction of Yiyang in the southeast.

"I heard that the army of Wei in its entire territory has reached nearly 800,000 people, and now the Wei army that is attacking Yiyang is only 100,000, if Wei makes up his mind and casually transfers another 100,000 troops, how long do you think Yiyang City can hold on?"

King Han was a little impatient, after all, at this time, King Han was still determined to kill Xinzheng, so he laughed:

"Haha, what you said is just nonsense, nonsense, and the widow is too lazy to listen, go back and tell your lord Jingcui, if he doesn't give way to South Korea immediately, then don't blame me for ignoring the alliance between the two countries."

Sima Cuo asked one last question.

"King Han, as long as you know your way back now, immediately lead your army back to Qin, our Chu army is willing to help your army stabilize the situation in Qin, so that we can work with your country to deal with Wei in the future!"

King Han was furious.

"Lost? Do I need you to blame Qin Guo? ”

Then he gave an order to the attendants around him.

"Get this guy out, get him out!"

Sima mistakenly saw that this King Han was already stubborn, and he didn't bother to dissuade him anymore, so he went back to tell Jingcui.

After Jing Cui heard the news, her expression was very helpless.

"Alas, our King of Chu wanted to come and help him Korea, but I didn't expect this King of Han to be so obsessed, it seems that our Chu State can no longer support it!"

Sima Cuo asked:

"But our king instructed us to help King Han!"

Zhuang Ji said at this time.

"Now the situation in South Korea is changing rapidly, and it has long been beyond our control, especially the dim-witted King Han, and although the king instructed our Great Sima to help South Korea, the king also instructed the Great Sima to act expediently, so whether we support this King Han is just a word from our Great Sima."

Jing Cui smiled and patted Zhuang Ji on the shoulder.

"Zhuang Ji, when the king took a fancy to you because you went to Wei State, let you kid go to garrison Shangyong, I Jingcui think that you don't have that ability, after all, you are too young, I didn't expect you to actually attack the grain and grass of Qin State, causing Qin State to be attacked by South Korea, but I Jingcui still think you are just lucky!"

"The king asked you to be my deputy general with Sima Cuo, I was a little dissatisfied, I thought it was the king who wanted to balance your Zhuang family and our Zhao, Qu, and Jing families, but I didn't expect to hear your words today, so that Ben Sima immediately understood why the king can reuse you, it seems that you will have a bright future in the future!"

Zhuang Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart at this time, after all, this praise was the first general of the Chu State today, the most trusted general of the King of Chu, Sima Jingcui.

"Da Sima, you have praised Miao, I Zhuang Ji just want to follow Da Sima in the future, and exhausting my energy for Chu Guoyan is my Zhuang Ji's greatest ambition."

Sima Cuo was a little worried, and saw that the two of them had pulled away from the topic.

"Great Sima, General Zhuang, if our Chu State does not support King Han now, then who should we support? Could it be the Prince Han who was proclaimed in Xianyang? ”

Jingcui set her sights on Zhuang Ji:

"What do you think of the current King Han and Prince Han?"

Zhuang Ji thought for a while.

"According to the current situation, King Han is probably already at the end of the crossbow, and Prince Han in Xianyang, although there are still tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the counterattack of King Qin, Zhu Liji and others in the future, so Zhuang Ji feels that neither of them is worth supporting!"

Jing Cui asked:

"Then according to your meaning, neither side can support it, do we Chu State want to help Qin State make a comeback?"

Sima Cuo naturally didn't want to see the Qin State, which had been harmed all his life, rise again.

"I don't think this plan is necessary, I have always known that Qin is a country of tigers and wolves without faith and righteousness, if you help Qin to restore the country, then when Qin becomes strong again, won't it be a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?"

Zhuang Ji said again at this time.

"Now that the Wei State is extremely strong, there is no country in the Eastern Nations that can compete with it, at this time, we can only support the Qin State and let it fight against the Wei State, otherwise in the future, the Wei State will dominate the world, who can stop it?"

Jingcui was very satisfied with Zhuang Ji's opinion.

"Okay, then this matter will be handled by General Zhuang!"

Sima Cuo heard that the State of Chu wanted to support the State of Qin, and he was very dissatisfied, after all, when the King of Chu met him, he personally promised to help him take revenge on the State of Qin, but he did not expect that now the State of Chu actually moved to support the State of Qin.

After Sima Coo returned to his camp, it was not a taste to think about it.

The next day, he discussed with his wife, and took him to escape from the Chu army camp at night, intending to defect to the king of Han.

However, King Han's army had already arrived in Yiyang and joined the defenders in the city.

Sima Cuo wanted to enter the city to see King Han, but King Han listened to the words of the villain around him, thinking that Sima Cuo was a meticulous work that Chu State wanted to place beside him, so he didn't wait to see Sima Cuo, but just sent him to guard the south gate of Yiyang City and be a gatekeeper.

Sima Cuo also felt desperate for King Han at this time, and couldn't help but think of the kindness of King Wei to save him back then, and had the idea of going to Wei, but he thought that he had fallen to this point now was actually caused by Wei, and hesitated for a while.

On the side, Mrs. Huanyun also understood Sima Cuo's mood very well, so she said.

"Brother wrong, I know that you are very sad now, and you only want to take revenge on the Qin State, but the Chu State does not attach importance to you, and the King of Han does not trust you, but only the King of Wei has given you a favor, but you feel that you have a holiday with the Wei State, and you are unwilling to defect, although I Huanyun does not understand the heart of your men, but I understand a sentence, if you have ambitions to become a man with an atmosphere, you never stick to those small sections, not to mention that you are still a general who has already achieved fame."

Sima misheard what his wife said, and seemed to understand.

"Okay, then I'll sneak out of the city tomorrow night to try the attitude of the Wei State!"
