Chapter 1257: Xiong Amber's Intention

"Shouling Junjingshe killed himself...... Is it? ā€

In the county government of Yangxia, Zhao Hongrun secretly met with Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Jun of Chu State. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When he learned from Pingyujun Xiong Hu that Shoulingjun killed himself on the bank of the Chushui River in late April, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but sigh.

From the interests of the Wei State, it is of course better for all the outstanding Chu nobles like Shouling Jun Jingshe to die, but from the perspective of selfishness, in fact, Zhao Hongrun is also very willing to make friends with Chu nobles like Shouling Jun Jingshe who have both ability and integrity.

This is not because Shouling Jun Jingshe is the relationship between the "Three Pillars" of the Chu State, but because of this person's character, at least the Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, who is also one of the "Three Pillars" of the Chu State, when he learned that this person was killed by Shi Jin, the hundred generals of the Youma Army, Zhao Hongrun had no waves in his heart, after all, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, and the Korean heroic general Ju Xin is the same as the raccoon dog, and during the war, he repeatedly connived at the soldiers under his command to loot and slaughter the people of Wei, which is destined to Zhao Hongrun will not have a good impression of them.

"Shouling-kun...... Does he have children? Zhao Hongrun asked Pingyujun Xiong Hudao.

Hearing this, Xiong Hu said: "Lord Jingshe has three sons under his knees, the eldest son is called Jingyun, who is twenty-three years old this year, if nothing else, this person will inherit the title of 'Shouling Jun' in the future." ā€

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then said to Xiong Hu: "Although Shoulingjun has met me on the battlefield twice, I sincerely admire him. …… It's a pity that it is not appropriate for me to come forward, otherwise it would be necessary to go to mourn. ā€

"You don't want me to come in your place, do you?" Pingyujun Xiong Hu said with an embarrassed expression after hearing this: "If I go, I will most likely be driven out by the Jing clan's chaotic sticks......"

After all, some time ago, when Shouling Jun Jingshe and General Xiang Mo were defeated, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu was stationed in the area of Chen County and Xiangcheng, only dozens of miles away from the defeated army in eastern Chu.

But in the end, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu turned a blind eye to the difficult situation of Shouling Jun Jingshe and the general Xiang Mo at that time, and allowed the Zhulu Wei army to pursue the defeated army led by the first two, resulting in the defeat of the Chu Eastern army again and again, so that when Shouling Jun Jingshe withdrew to the Chu State, there were only 10,000 people left in the army known as one million.

Therefore, Shouling Jun Jingshe finally killed himself in shame on the bank of the Chushui River, and Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu had to bear a lot of responsibility.

Of course, this incident does not mean that there is any personal enmity between Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu and Shouling Jun Jingshe, but Xiong Hu has to die against the defeated army of Chu in order to help Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, compete for the position of King of Chu.

After all, Shouling Jun Jingshe is also considered a nobleman on the side of "Chu Dong", if this person leads more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops to withdraw to Chu State, how can he threaten the nobles of Chu Dong and compete for the throne with the "Chu West Army" under the hands of Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng?

Therefore, Pingyujun Xiong Hu borrowed a knife to kill people at that time, and borrowed the hand of the Wei army to further weaken the troops under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe, just to pave the way for Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, but he didn't expect that the gentle and elegant Shouling Jun Jingshe on weekdays was so strong in his heart, and he was ashamed and killed himself on the bank of the Chushui River, which was unexpected by Pingyujun Xiong Hu - forcing Shouling Jun Jingshe to death, so that the Jing clan regarded it as an enemy, which was harmful but not beneficial to Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng.

It seemed that he had seen through the mind of Pingyujun Xiong Hu, Zhao Hongrun said lightly: "Are you afraid of being hated by the Jing clan?" ā€

In all fairness, although he can understand the reason why Pingyujun Xiong Hu did that at that time, from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Hongrun dislikes this behavior very much, because it reminds him of some of the behaviors of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

But because Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu is his "secret ally", and Shouling Jun Jingshe is a Chu person, so although Zhao Hongrun doesn't like it in his heart, he can't say anything.

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, Pingyujun Xiong Hu shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this, Lord Jingyun is not as good as Lord Jingshe after all, ...... said, he sighed: "As soon as Lord Jingshe dies, most of the Jing clan will decline." According to Jingyun's ability, I am afraid that he cannot afford the duties of the 'Three Day Pillar'. ā€

"Three-day pillar?" Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, of course he knew what kind of existence the Three Days Pillar was in the Chu State.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this title respected by the Chu people of your country?" Can it also be inherited? ā€

Pingyujun Xiong Hu Xiong Hu glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said with a smile: "Respected by all the people? It just so happens that the three branch families of the surname "Xiong", "Jing", and "Qu" each occupy a place? ā€

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun suddenly brightened, but his expression became more and more strange.

Indeed, as Pingyujun Xiong Hu said, the royal family surnamed Mi of the Chu State, among its branches, belongs to the Xiong family, the Jing family, the Qu family, the Xiang family and other branches are the most powerful.

Zhao Hongrun originally thought that the "Three Days Pillar" of Chu State, just like South Korea's "Beiyuan Ten Heroes", was passed down by word of mouth among the people in China, but he did not expect that the "Three Days Pillar" of Chu State was actually operated in the dark.

Seeing the strange expression on Zhao Hongrun's face, Pingyujun Xiong Hu disagreed, and continued to explain: "Actually, you misunderstood, my Da Chu's 'Three Pillars', in fact, did not refer to a person at the earliest, but to the three major clans with the surname 'Xiong', 'Jing', and 'Qu', when my cousin and Lord Xiong Hao of Runan Jun died, why was it replaced by Diyangjun Xiong Shang instead of someone else?" For example, Xiang Mo and Xiang Jia, the Xiang family has also produced famous generals in the past dynasties, why didn't they have the "Three Days Pillar"? ā€

These words made Zhao Hongrun speechless.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun was puzzled about this matter at first.

He once mistakenly thought that the contemporary "Three Pillars" of the Chu State referred to individuals, namely the original Runan Jun Xiong Hao, Shouling Jun Jingshe, and Xiling Jun Qu Ping.

It must be admitted that these three 'Three Pillars' are all the leading nobles of the Chu State, with both ability and political integrity, so much so that Zhao Hongrun mistakenly thinks that only outstanding nobles can obtain this honor.

But then, when he learned that Xiong Hao, the Jun of Runan, who died more than ten years ago, was inherited by Xiong Shang, the Jun of Diyang, after his name of the Three Pillars was inherited by Xiong Shang, the Jun of Diyang, this made Zhao Hongrun a little incomprehensible.

In terms of the ability to command the army, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang is logically inferior to Xiang Mo and Xiang Jiao brothers, so that when he was in the "Qilu, Wei and Yue Four Kingdoms Invasion of Chu Campaign", he was beaten by Tian Tan, a famous general of Qi State; In terms of morality, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang and South Korea's heroic drama Xin Nai are a raccoon dog, greedy and violent.

Therefore, the inheritance of the title of the Three Pillars by Di Yang Jun Xiong Shang always made Zhao Hongrun feel an illusion of being out of place: compared with Shouling Jun Jingshe and Xiling Jun Qu Ping, the style of Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was obviously a little low, which lowered the reputation of the "Three Pillars" of Chu State.

I never thought that the three-day pillar of the Chu State was actually operated in the dark, which made sense.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said with emotion: "Diyang Jun Xiong Shang died in Yongqiu, Shouling Jun Jingshe killed himself in Chushui, plus Qu Ping, the deposed Xiling Jun who was not used for life...... The three-day pillar is dead in name only, right? ā€

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu nodded, and then added: "In fact, Lord Qu Ping, the Xiling Monarch, has also died...... The Qu clan has never been able to forgive Lord Qu Ping for surrendering at the end of that rebellion, and on Chu Dong's side, those guys also strongly opposed the king's use of Lord Qu Ping, Lord Qu Ping was talented, but there was no place for it, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river in anger the year before last, but because of the influence, it was not announced to the public. ā€

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but sigh again.

Although he did not fight with Xiling Jun Qu Ping, nor did he have any personal relations with him, he knew that when Wu Qi, the general of Wu, led the Dongou army to attack Chu from the east, it was Xiling Jun Qu Ping who strategized and commanded several Chu armies to block the attack of the Yue army, so that when the three forces of "Qilu Wei" were all under the city of Shouying, the king of Chu, only the Dongou army of Dongyue was blocked from the road to Shouying, so that the "Qilu-Wei-Yue Coalition Army" could not completely surround Shouying at that time.

Secretly sighed, Zhao Hongrun asked Xiong Hu: "This time, if your country elects another three-day pillar to stabilize the situation, I'm afraid there will be no Qu clan's share, right?" ā€

Pingyujun Xiong Hu did not hide it, and said truthfully: "It should be the Xiang family that replaces the Qu family, either the general Xiang Mo or his younger brother Xiang Jiao." …… In contrast, I am more concerned about who "Xiong" will promote? ā€

Listening to Xiong Hu's obvious irony in the second half of the sentence, Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and then he realized that the "Xiong Clan" in Xiong Hu's mouth should refer to the "Chudong Xiong Clan".

According to Xiong Hu's explanation, the state of Chu has always been governed by the king of Chu in eastern Chu, and the "Xiong clan" headed by the "Three Heavenly Pillars" manages the land of western Chu, which is commonly known as the "Xiong clan in western Chu", and Xiong Hao, the former king of Runan, is an outstanding representative of the Xiong clan in western Chu.

But more than ten years ago, the Chudong Xiong clan violated this rule, under the pretext that Xiong Tuo, the Junjun of Xuancheng, who inherited the mantle of Xiong Hao, the king of Runan, was too young to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and forcibly placed the head of the Three Days Pillar on the head of the Diyang Jun Xiong Shang of the Chudong Xiong clan, so as to suppress the Chuxi Xiong clan.

Since this incident, the relationship between the Chu Dong Xiong clan and the Chu Xi Xiong clan has been extremely bad, and there is a posture of chickens and dogs hearing each other but not getting along with each other, and even Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu, who is the biological son of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, has since called his father "that guy" and Chu Dong's cousin and uncle "those guys", which can imagine the contradiction between the two parties.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun also felt a little curious, and couldn't help asking: "After Xiong Shang, are there any outstanding heroes in the Chudong Xiong Clan?" ā€

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu sneered at first, and then seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "Chu Dong's gang of moths, there shouldn't be anyone who can handle it...... Except for "Chu Shuijun". ā€

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, he had heard of the person "Chu Shuijun", who was said to be the younger brother of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, but he was a mysterious person, and even his name was not revealed.

It is said that the enemies of the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, to be precise, are the common enemies of the "Zhurong One Line" witches, and they are loyal to Chu Shuijun when they work together to be a witch, and Zhao Hongrun was also assassinated by those witches back then.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun seemed to think of something, and said with a strange expression: "Xiong Hu, you can't have any thoughts about those three pillars, right?" ā€

As if it had been exposed, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and only after half a sound did he swallow and say: "Cough, in fact, on my Chuxi Xiong clan's side, there are also people who are enough to take on this heavy responsibility." …… The head of the Three Pillars originally belonged to my Chuxi Xiong Clan. ā€

His words have actually confirmed Zhao Hongrun's speculation in disguise.

However, Zhao Hongrun did not delve into this, after all, it was the internal affairs of the Chu State, he thought about it and asked, "Has Xiong Tuo already set off?" ā€

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun finally mentioned the matter, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu suddenly had a serious expression, nodded and said, "Xiong Tuogongzi has led 150,000 troops to help Chudong. ā€

"Helping Chu Dong? Is it taking the opportunity to exert pressure and seize the throne of the king of Chu?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Pingyujun Xiong Hu.

Obviously, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, led his troops to force the palace to seize power.

The state of Chu may usher in a new round of civil war.
