Chapter 60: Leaving the Teacher

"Stop! Stop! "The officials couldn't stop the herd, and the Qi generals in the city saw so many cattle rushing out of the checkpoint, and they drank loudly in the city, and they couldn't stop wanting to release the arrows but didn't dare to really release the arrows, so they could only watch those cattle run to the opposite Chu Pass. When General Qi came down from Guancheng, the officials had already stopped the merchants behind Yushi.

"The king has an order, and the tariff will be one hundred and five from today, and there must be no mistake. If you want to leave the customs, you need to pay a tax of 150 percent......"

"Nonsense! Chu Qi has an alliance first, why is it one hundred and five? Yushi left, and the merchant who was a step slower and was stopped by the customs officer was very unhappy.

"Those who do not pay customs duties will be severely punished and will not be loaned." The merchants are very easy to clean up, and when the officials are louder, their faces will turn pale.

"I can't wait!" Someone shouted. "The tariff starts from 15 today, why did the cattle traffickers 100 before?"

"Exactly, I can't wait." Tariffs have increased fivefold, and most of them are small merchants who sell all kinds of goods, and this kind of ordinary road goods are no better than ploughing cattle, relying on small profits and quick turnover, and they can't make a few dollars at all.

"What if you don't accept it?" Guan Guan was very disdainful of the group of people in front of him, and he said to himself: "A group of Nanban." ”

Nanban is swearing, and the Jia people standing in front of him can understand it, and they who are angry because of the tax increase suddenly push him, and the conflict between the two sides arises. The merchants who could not bear the tax increase beat up the officials, and the Qi general, who was in charge of the defense of Muling Pass, immediately ordered the Qi soldiers to suppress them, killed three merchants on the spot, and arrested thirteen of them.

Xiong Jing heard about this on the way back to Yingdu. The Qi people unilaterally increased the tariffs, and the Chu people were dissatisfied with the argument with the officials, and then for some reason they moved, and the Chu people were killed three people on the spot and thirteen people were arrested.

"King, if the people raise taxes, there will be demons." As soon as Right Shi heard that Qi people had increased tariffs, he immediately sensed the conspiracy.

"There are demons." Xiong Jing handed the news to Chang Jiang, a little sullen and unhappy. After the Qi people forcibly retreated, he wanted to maintain the Chu-Qi alliance, but some people tried their best to destroy the Chu-Qi relationship.

"The king is back to Ying, and Yingdu should be very noisy," You Shi roughly understood Xiong Jing's thoughts, but after this incident, it was impossible to deal with Chu Qi's matter from a private point of view. "However, if you want to be defeated, you will be helped; If you want to take it, you will take it. If the people who are close to Qin are not profitable, how can they make the Qi people close to Chu in the future? ”

"It's a pity," Xiong Jing understood the truth of Youshi, and he nodded: "It's winter at this time." ”

"Winter ......" You Shi muttered in his heart, seeing that Xiong Jing closed his eyes and didn't want to speak, he didn't ask why it was a pity that it was winter.

Go down the Yangtze River to the east, enter Chaohu Lake when you reach Jiuzi, and then return to Yinghu along the Yinglu Canal to the north, the distance of more than 500 miles is not far, only walk for two days Xiongjing to see the tall city wall of Yingdu.

"The king has returned, the king has returned!" Xiong Jing returned to the southeast gate of the middle gate of the middle gate of the middle gate is wide open, the middle gate can only be walked by the envoy and the king, as soon as the middle gate is opened, the common people who look forward to the stars and the moon will shout along the whole street, less than a quarter of an hour, the whole Yingzhou knows that the king has returned to Ying. When Xiong Jing landed on the shore and entered the city, the court was densely packed with people, and the crowd not only did not get out of the way, but blocked the avenue into the palace.

"Why is that?" Xiong Jing asked knowingly.

"Tell the king, the Qi people insult my king and kill my merchants, please kill him." A commoner who had lost his right arm bowed to Xiong Jing, his voice was loud, Rong Rong Jiji, he should have been the armor of the Yingshi before.

"Tell the king, the Qi people insult my king and kill my merchants, please kill him." This person bowed, and the people behind him also worshipped, and the words of respect were extremely neat, and after the words were finished, the voice echoed between the thatched doors of the ancestral temple, and it was endless for a long time.

"No." Xiong Jing nodded heavily at everyone, "If you don't want to do it, you must be killed." ”

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Xiong Jing's voice was clear, and when he heard him say 'no,' the whole court shouted. And Lan Hao and Dongye, who welcomed Xiong Jing's return to the capital, felt bitter for a while.

Zhu Ao and Zheng Dynasty agreed to fight together, but Xiong Jing said, 'This is a private matter', and completely extinguished everyone's fighting spirit. The king is getting older and more prestigious, and since this is the king's private matter, the courtiers are naturally not easy to trespass. It's just that now Xiong Jing agreed to Vaqi in front of so many people, and that Vaqi is no longer inevitable.

The common people in the court shouted 'Long live the king', and hurriedly made way of the passage as if Xiong Jing was returning to the palace, and when the attendants who traveled with Xiong Jing entered the Mao Gate, these people hurried home and began to prepare the clothes for the division, waiting for the order to leave.

"How can the king cut down?" In Ruoying Palace, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but say a word when she heard the rumors outside. In the past few months, the Qin army has attacked the Great Wall south of Handan day and night, Handan is crumbling, she wanted to wait for her son to come back and let him save Zhao, but she didn't expect to cut down Qi.

"Where is the king?" Concubine Zhao, who couldn't sit still, was like going to find her son.

"After the mother, it was said that the younger brother was discussing the matter of cutting Qi." Mi Xuan just inquired.

"Alas. How can you cut Qi! Concubine Zhao was anxious for a while. She is the queen of China, but she can't control national politics like her mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaowei. The son also threw the great government to the Zhu clan and the honorable scholars, and he didn't look like a king at all. She only hopes that Vaqi is not fighting for the whole country now, and it is best to end the war as soon as possible, so that the Chu army can save Zhao as soon as possible. Concubine Zhao thought so, but the ministers wanted to fight early and big.

"Tell the king, the minister thinks that he should fight with the Qi people quickly." Yin Pengguan of Juyang was excited when he talked about fighting. "At this time, the big river is not sealed, and the gap is cut down from the east of the big river, and it can reach the city of Linzi in a few decades."

"Tell the king, why bother to break through the Muling Pass from the big river with a stone-throwing weapon, and the Qi people will be afraid and seek peace." Someone objected.

"Tell the king, the war is indeed to fight quickly, and if you slow down, the people will be on guard......"

The courtiers scrambled to speak, Xiong Jing waited for everyone to say almost, and then coughed and said, "Before the war, there is still a city to be pulled." ”

"There's still a city to pull?" The ministers looked at each other, not knowing which city Xiong Jing was talking about, but the left and right history knew what Xiong Jing was talking about.

"It's not too late to finish pulling out this city and then cut it down." Xiong Jing looked at the courtiers in front of him a little disgusted, for a few years, no one told him about Sha Xian. If he hadn't passed through Sha Xian, I'm afraid he wouldn't have understood it until now.

"With the Ao system, all clans have the right to war and peace." Xiong Jing said again. Therefore, five days later, Master Yingshi came out. The Great Sima Mansion can plan how to cut down during this time. ”

"The king wants to pull out the sand envy?" Xiong Jing returned to Ying from Dongting County, and the smart Li and suddenly thought of Sha Xian.

"Yes." Xiong Jing made no secret of it.

"King, Sha Xian is owned by Qin." Shaxian is only a small town, but Shaxian is the southernmost territory of Qin, and attacking Shaxian is tantamount to declaring war on Qin.

"So what?" Xiong Jing smiled. "The Qin people instigated the Qi people to fight against me, shouldn't they be taught a lesson? The intention of attacking Shaxian has been decided, and five days later, the Yingshi division sent out to attack Shaxian and retreated. ”

The ministers were still thinking about the impact of attacking Sha Xian, and Xiong Jing had already retreated. Five days later, the news of leaving the school soon spread throughout Yingdu, and the wine shop market was crowded with people for a while, and everyone was excited.
