"Unlucky." In the Yingdu Buyin Mansion, the flames that burned the tortoise shell had not yet been extinguished, and the witches who were dancing and praying had just withdrawn from the middle court. Bu Yin Guanyu held the tortoise shell with a fire temperature, looked at it for a long time, and finally spit out these two words.

"En......" Guan Ji reached out with both hands to take the tortoise shell in his hand, carefully pinched the cracks on the nail piece with his hand, and finally nodded. At this time, he was already blind.

"The king is in danger!" Guan Yu said urgently, "Report to Ling Yin as soon as possible, and raise troops to King Chen Qin." ”

"No." Guan Ji grabbed his hand that wanted to grab the tortoise shell. "The Holy King, the destiny of heaven is in the body, and the Lord will favor him, why should you and I be fools?"

"Big brother, what do you say!" Guanyu was a little excited. "The king has been trapped in Chen Ying's five months, and there is no news today. How can you not save it? The words of the Holy King are the words of Tang Miao, how can you believe them? ”

"If it weren't for the Saint King...... Speaking of this, Guan Ji chattered a few times, "How could I be blind?" ”

"You ......" It is strange that the brother is suddenly blind. A few months ago, his eyes were still bright, but in recent months, his eyes have become increasingly cloudy, and in the end he was blind, and all this was because the king entered the palace that day to ask for the destiny of heaven.

"If it weren't for the Holy King, how could there be a destiny? If it is not the mandate of heaven, how can there be a heavenly opportunity? If it is not a heavenly machine, how can it be blind? "Watching the season, let out an old man's sigh." I have heard the command, I can't wait for that day, if you see it yourself, don't forget to sacrifice as a brother. ”

"Big Brother...... "The one who hears the fate is the one who is about to die." Every time the courtiers bow their swords, they all say that the ministers are destined to do so. Guan Ji naturally won't lie down with a sword, but his vitality is like his eyes, which have long been dim. "Brother Zhiye." Guan Yu took a few steps back and bowed to each other.

"Chen Ying has been without news for 17 days, please order Yin Su to send elite soldiers to save Chen, and regret it later." At the same time, Yin Yisu, the chief of the Great Sima Mansion, and the combat secretary Li He and others looked deeply at the Zhao Huang of the temporary Ling Yin.

"Quick Pawn?" It has been more than a month since Ling Yin was made, and Zhao Huang still couldn't transfer from Zuo Tu to Ling Yin's role, especially because he couldn't understand the institution of the Great Sima Mansion, everything was new to him.

"Yes, yes." Yi Su said loudly. "In the words of the detective, Chen Yingdonghu has dried up, the northern city is a vast ocean, and the Qin army is immersed in the city. With the law of Xinping Jun guarding the city, there are many secret doors on the door, and the city will be broken if it is flooded for a month. The king can only lead the army to retreat into the royal city, the royal city is small and cannot be defended for a long time, please send the elite soldiers to save it quickly, and my Yiyang division can be the vanguard. ”

"Jing Pawn ......" Zhao Huang thought of Ao Cang, and even remembered Xiong Jing's words not to worry about Chen Ying's gains and losses, he shook his head and said, "No." The elite pawn is the pawn of the attack on Ao Cang, how can it be sent to Chen Ying, and the number is less than 50,000, and the army of Qin and Wei is 400,000, how can it be saved? ”

"Please order Yin to urgently order all counties and towns to quickly summon soldiers and generals." Of course, Li He knew that 50,000 people alone could not save Chen Ying, "The order of the county commander was immediately sent by Feixun, and the army could reach Chen Ying in 30 days at the latest, and the royal city should be worry-free within 30 days." ”

It is indeed feasible to recruit county soldiers, but it is already late February, and March is the spring planting season. Looking at the conscription talisman on the case, Zhao Huang suddenly hesitated. He hesitated and did not hesitate at all, he shouted, "Someone! Ling Yin has an order, and all counties and towns quickly recruit soldiers to go to King Chen Qin. ”

"Lord ......" Hearing this, it was Zhao Huang's retainers who came in, and of course he did not accept Yi Su's orders.

"Why don't you go to the edict and summons it soon?!" Seeing him like this, Yi Su was immediately angry, and he was so anxious that he choked and pulled out his sword.

"Sovereign?" The retainers were not afraid of the huge sword in Yi Su's hand, and only asked Zhao Huang.

"Go and make the edict quickly." Zhao Huang finally nodded, and he added another sentence after hesitation. "The pawn of Jiangdong is not called."

There is no need for Zhao Huang's instructions, in a month's time, Jiangdong's pawns can't be summoned, they are too far away. Those who can be recruited are only the pawns of the north and south of Huaishui. It's just that there are 10,000 troops stationed in Magu, 20,000 troops each stationed in Chengyang, Xincai, and Mulingguan, 30,000 under the command of Xiang Yan, plus 50,000 under Chen Ying, and 50,000 elite soldiers who are training rowing in Yingdu, there are already 200,000 people.

The year before last, the Chu State actually recruited about 380,000 soldiers, and if Jiangdong's soldiers were not called, there would only be 330,000 left. Thirty-three minus the 200,000 that have been recruited, and the number of county soldiers who can be recruited is no more than 130,000. In addition to the 70,000 people in Magu, Mulingguan, Chengyang, and Xincai, who could not be mobilized, the 30,000 under the command of Xiang Yan and the soldiers who could go to King Chen Qin were only 160,000 in total. Even if you add the 50,000 people in Chen Yingcheng, there are only 210,000, while the Qin-Wei coalition army has 400,000.

Thinking of the 210,000 Chu army against the 400,000 army of Qin and Wei, Zhao Huang shook his head for a while: "Our army is outnumbered, so we should ask Qi to send troops." ”

"Qi Guo?" Yi Su also knew that he had few soldiers, and he could recruit no more than 300,000 soldiers in a month, and he also had to garrison Chengyang, Xincai and other places, and there were only 100,000 people left to go to Chen to rescue. "Qi Guoken sent troops to help me?"

"Jimo Doctor Tian He once said that he was willing to send troops to help, but ...... "The negotiations with Qi State did not go well, and the Qi people continued to increase their weight. Zhao Huang said: "My country needs to cede the north of Jucheng to the Qi State, and Doctor Mo is willing to send 100,000 troops to help me." ”

"North of Jucheng?" Li He immediately remembered Mu Lingguan and said bitterly: "It's not worth it." As soon as Muling Pass goes, the Qi State can attack and retreat. He will attack me again in the future, what if so? ”

"Muling Pass was originally owned by the Qi State, so why not?" Yi Su's opinion is diametrically opposed. "The life and death of the king are uncertain, the king Ruo'an, how can you worry about the little Muling Pass? Please order Yin to cut the north of Jucheng to the Qi State, and ask the Qi State to send troops. ”

"This matter ...... "ceding the north of Jucheng is not as simple as giving up Muling Pass, but also includes Langya." In addition, once Jucheng goes, the next city that can curb the southward movement of the Qi army can only be Tancheng between Yishui and Mushui. Tancheng is three hundred miles away from Muling Pass, and retreating so far in one effort is equivalent to giving up the flanks of Ludi, and directly exposing Yangcheng and Feiyi in Ludi to the halberd of the Qi people.

"The matter of asking Qi to send troops to help still needs to be discussed." Thinking of the meaning of Jucheng, Zhao Huang still didn't dare to make the decision. "At the very least, ask the important ministers to consult."

"Then please." The important ministers came to discuss in Yingdu, and there were only seven people, including Dazai Yang Wenjun, Taifu Song Yu, Zuo Yin Mengzhengyu, Zhen Yin Zimo, Military Academy Lu Yangjun, Taibu Guanji, and Sikong Tang Yi. These people were soon summoned, but the only people who really came to Ling Yin's Mansion to discuss were Song Yu, Meng Zhengyu, Zimo, Lu Yangjun, and Tang Yi. It's understandable that he doesn't come to watch the season, his eyes are already blind and his body is unwell, but it would be very weird if Yang Wenjun didn't come.

"Why isn't Yang Wenjun here?" Zimo has been criticizing Yang Wenjun Tongqin and is extremely concerned about him.

"Yang Wenjun is sick and on leave." Zhao Huang said the words of Yang Wenjun's family slaughter, "What we are discussing today is to invite the Qi State to send troops......

"If the general doesn't believe me, please kill me." Thinking about Xiang Yanjun's curtain, Yang Wenjun, who should have been sleeping, shook a folding fan and sat down to talk.

"The king has not lost his virtue, how can he be abolished?" Xiang Yan has always despised Yang Wenjun's character, how could he have cooperated before, he can not cooperate with Yang Wenjun, but he can't not see others. "And the sergeants and soldiers of the army all respect the king, who dares to do anything to abolish the establishment."

"The king is trapped in Chen Ying, and the Qin army will never give up until Chen Ying is broken. The general thinks that the 400,000 troops of Qin and Wei, can I win? Yang Wenjun asked rhetorically. And I am not talking about the abolition of the establishment, but about who will ascend the throne after the king's reign. ”

"Ridiculous!" Xiang Yan once again saw Yang Wenjun's disgusting face with supporting the new king as bait, and the last time was two years ago.

"What's ridiculous?" Yang Wenjun retorted, "The king is strong, and if he is too rigid, it is easy to break, although it is not my wish to be in Chen Ying, but the king will be in the king, why can't he say anything about the throne?" ”

"Go!" Xiang Yan couldn't hold back any longer, he pointed his finger out of the tent, asking Yang Wenjun to get out.

"The general has forgotten what he said two years ago to help him become the king?" Yang Wenjun didn't want to get out at all, but brought up the past.

"At that time, Yingdu rebelled, and the life and death of the eldest son were uncertain." Xiang Yan said urgently.

"Really?" Yang Wenjun laughed twice, "I heard that when Nao returned to the army to rescue Yingdu, the general didn't make a move. ”

Qinxian Yi and Yuanying have always been the style of the Xiang family, and the Xiang family is the minister of the Chu State Sheji, not the minister of the king of Chu. Xiang Yan couldn't rescue Yingdu when he returned to the army, he had to defend every inch of land in Chu instead of protecting Yingdu, an undefeated king.

Yang Wenjun pointed out Xiang Yan's position with a word, and made Xiang Yan suffer. He said again: "The king is born to know, and I know the talent of the heavens; The king is brave and brave, and he is deeply popular, and I also know it. However, what is the benefit of this with the county prince and Yi Yin? Who wants to see the reputation of the king enter the county's various parties, ethnic groups, and clans? The New Deal also changed the law. How is Chen County? Chen County abolished the county officials and replaced them with honorable scholars, and Chen Gong was not so much the county Yin as the furnishings.

And the Qin State attacked me, not to pull out the city and plunder the land, but to kill the king. The king Ruoxu, or Yingdu, set up a new king, and Qin Wei withdrew his troops. Why not exchange the death of one person for the safety of the whole country? ”

"The death of one person in exchange for the peace of the whole country...... this is the king! King!! Xiang Yan was angry again, and he asked: "You are also a minister of the king, do you have half of the king's guard?" How can you speak such a rebellious word? ”

"I don't know the king, I only know the state of Chu and the society!" Xiang Yan scolded angrily, but Yang Wenjun's voice was louder. "The King of Qin has been concerned about my Chu State, and the Empress Dowager Zu saw that she had to abandon her flaws and ask the King of Qin to kill the king. After the king, the Qin army will inevitably attack Zhao, and my Chu country will be safe. ”

"Ah......" The matter actually brought out the Empress Dowager Huayang, and killing the king was the ultimate goal of the Qin army's attack on Chu. Xiang Yan, who suddenly woke up, glared angrily, he suddenly took a deep breath, pounded a few cases and scolded: "Cheap! It's extremely cheap!! ”

"What about being cheap?" Yang Wenjun didn't laugh angrily, and accepted it calmly. "If you can save the community, I would rather be cheap."

"That's also the society of the servant you waited, not the society of the Chu people!" Xiang Yan stood up angrily, his anger had nowhere to vent, and with a sword, he split the case in front of Yang Wenjun in half. "If Chen Ying is lost, I, Xiang Yan, will save him. Get lost! Get out of my shogunate! ”

"Then there must be a pawn in the county." Yang Wenjun was not afraid of Xiang Yan's anger at all, he slowly closed the paper fan and got up to say goodbye. As soon as he left, the Flyer barged in. "Report to the general: Chen Ying is in danger, and ask Yin to ask the general to come to Ying as soon as possible to discuss the matter of saving Chen." ...
