Standing at the wharf in the northern suburbs of Yingdu, the Queen Mother Concubine Zhao was watching the boat, the ark, the Qinghan boat, the boat, and the big boat slowly leaving. More than 65,000 soldiers and more than 1,300 civilian ships formed a loose formation about one and a half miles wide and four miles long, so as to avoid collisions between boats as much as possible.

In the era when there was no cotton, kapok had not yet been introduced, and only bundles of straw could be used for collision prevention. In the spring breeze season, whenever the breeze blows the straw on the side of the ship, countless grass clippings will fall, and finally the entire section of Huaishui is full of grass clippings. The grass clippings went east along the water, the boat went west against the water, and in a trance, someone seemed to be singing the national mourning: "You can't go in and out, and you can't go back, and the plain is so ......far away."

"Please return to the palace." Wang Yinyou stood beside Concubine Zhao and whispered to each other.

"The Queen Mother?" Seeing that her mother was crying again, Mi Xuan felt a little uneasy. "The general will be able to rescue the king brother if he goes here."

"I don't think of Jing'er, I'm ......" Concubine Zhao thought of her husband Xiong Yuan, who sang so loudly that day and never returned.

"The minister fights in the pheasant and has seen the queen mother." The army went out to tears and was afraid of bad luck, Concubine Zhao hurriedly wiped her tears, and at this time, the Tang County Gongdou Yu Pheasant suddenly crossed the sanitation and walked over to take a deep look.

"What's the matter with Douqing?" Dou Yu was drooping to the old man, and seeing that he was dressed in Shangqing's Xuanyi and plain clothes, Concubine Zhao bowed slightly.

"The king is trapped in Chen Ying, although Xiang Bo goes, the ministers are afraid that there are too few soldiers. Yin Chenggong of Xixian County has more than 10,000 troops, and is willing to go to Chen Ying to save the king. Dou Yu Pheasant said, and Concubine Zhao was stunned.

"Dou Qing is willing to send troops to serve the king, and the old woman is also lucky." Concubine Zhao, who didn't know the situation, gave him another salute, at this time Wang Yin whispered, her face became solemn, and when Wang Yin finished speaking, she said: "The king said to the old woman last year: If the Ao family is the pillar stone of Chu, the first monarch Zhuang Wang caused the Ruo Ao family to rebel, and Chu was unlucky. ”

"Ahh Dou Yu Pheasant shook twice when he heard this, and almost didn't stand firm. He rudely stared at Concubine Zhao's eyes, and said in surprise: "The king really said this? ”

"Yes, yes." Concubine Zhao nodded heavily, her son did say such things. "The king also once said: Those who harm the Chu country are all Chu people. Such as Miao Benhuang, Wu Zixu, Wu Chen, Bai Gongsheng, etc. However, those who harm Chu are mostly ...... because the ancestors are unwise and unkind."

"Queen Mother Mingjian, King Mingjian!" Dou Yu Pheasant's tears came down again, this was the second time he had shed tears in the past few days. "What the old minister asks is to ask the king to pardon the sins of Emperor Miao Ben, so that his descendants can be in the court, that's all."

The requirements of the "old woman's ......" are so low, once they agree, they can increase their troops by more than 10,000, not to mention that Concubine Zhao doesn't know the stakes, even if she knows the stakes, she will also agree. He didn't want Zhao Huang to see Dou Yu Pheasant seeing the king from afar, so he hurriedly ran over.

"Empress Dowager, the battle of Emperor Miao Ben Yanling once helped the Jin army to attack me, and the first monarch and the king lost a sight because of this, and the Chu army was defeated, which is unforgivable." Dou Yu Pheasant has already seen Zhao Huang, and his requirements are very clear to Zhao Huang, and the opinions of the important ministers are unforgivable.

"Why not?" Concubine Zhao was displeased, "The battle of Yanling was an old thing three hundred years ago, and now the state of Chu is in danger and the king is trapped in Chen Ying's ......"

"The Queen Mother doesn't know, Emperor Miao Ben helped the Jin army to attack me, and this Chu thief is also unforgivable." Zhao Huang insisted. "If you pardon Emperor Miaoben, what will the soldiers be. The soldiers led the Wu people to destroy the society of our Chu country, and whipped the tomb of the king of King Ping, if they were pardoned, the courtiers and countrymen would be boiling. ”

Emperor Miao Ben is the son of Dou Yuejiao, and Wu Zixu is the son of Wu Hao, both of whom fled to foreign countries after being punished, and led foreign troops to attack Chu for revenge. The difference is that Emperor Miao Ben only helped the Jin State win the Battle of Yanling, and Wu Yuan led Wu Shi to attack Yingdu.

Concubine Zhao heard that Zhao Huang had cited the soldiers, and stopped speaking for a while. The soldiers have harmed the Chu country deeply, and the women and children in Yingdu know it, and the whole country will not tolerate pardoning such a person. After Zhao Huang finished speaking, he retreated, leaving only Dou Yu Pheasant disappointed on the spot, and Concubine Zhao, who held the last glimmer of hope, said: "Ling Yin's words are definitely not the king's intentions. If Douqing can rescue the king, the king will pardon the sins of Emperor Miao Ben. ”

"But can the king forgive the sins of the soldiers?" Dou Yu asked in a daze, he came to ask the Queen Mother precisely because Zhao Huang was unwilling, and it was the first time he heard the reason for not pardoning Emperor Miao Ben. Wu Zixu's crime, as long as it is a Chu person, will not be forgiven.

"I don't know what this old woman does." Concubine Zhao sighed. "However, forgiveness or non-forgiveness, hatred and non-hatred, the heirs of the public family are all surnamed Mi. Now that the surname Mi is in danger, why can't Dou Qing lead troops to Chen, defend my Chu country, and protect my family surnamed Mi? ”

"Is Mr. Lone really the queen of Ruo Ao?" The four-mile-long fleet slowly turned into Yingshui, and on the big scorpion, all the soldiers looked at the lone traveler of the captain. They had already known that the Lone Ranger was a nobleman, but they didn't expect him to be the queen of the Ruo Ao clan.

If the Ao clan is gone, its prestige is still engraved in the hearts of the Chu people, so that every time they hear that the Chu army was defeated, some Chu people sigh: If the Ao clan is still there, then what will happen. The fact is also the same, if the Ao clan fights, the Chu army wins every battle, even if it loses the battle of Chengpu, which is evaded, and hears that the commander of the Chu army, Ziyuan, was forced to hang himself, the Duke of Jin Wen was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: Mo Yu poison (no one can hurt me in the future).

Most of the soldiers are commoners, they know that Ruo Ao's great military exploits, but they rarely hear about Ruo Ao's rebellion, even if they hear about Ruo Ao's rebellion, they don't know that Miao Benhuang, the son of Douyue Jiao, once helped the Jin people defeat the Chu army, and the king lost a sight.

The lone traveler saw his subordinates all looking at him, and said with a wry smile: "Who remembers the events of hundreds of years ago?" ”

"Don't you know, sir?" A young foot soldier, with only a slight fluff on his lips, with a rare bookish air. "In the legends of the heroes of the Chu people, most of them are the heroes of the Ruo Ao clan. General Dou led his troops to defeat Deng Shi in Lu, and the king of the previous year defeated Qin Kou, using the formation of the Battle of Lu. At that time, the Chu army was lined up between the Ba divisions, and after the initial battle, they feigned defeat and ran north. Deng Shi thought that he had won and chased our army, and Ba Shi should attack it on his back, and Deng Shi was immediately defeated. ”

The young foot soldier finished speaking in one breath, and looked at the lone traveler enviously, "Mr. is the queen of Ruo Ao's family, there must be a family heirloom of war." ”

"The Art of War?" The lone traveler never thought that a little pawn also knew about the battle of Lu, let alone that he thought that he had a family art of war. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Battle after battle, the art of war is common, and the way of change is all in one machine." ”

"A machine?" Some art of war was published on the Dachu news, but what the lone traveler said, the foot soldiers didn't understand it at all.

"Yes, yes. On the battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting, stuck in the art of war, invincible, only by grasping the opportunity, can we not be defeated. The lone traveler said a beginning, but he didn't plan to accept a student - not everyone can do a famous general, and not everyone can grasp the situation of friend or foe on the battlefield.

"Mr. Lone can be in this boat? Mr. Lone Ranger can ...... this boat, "a boat rows in the fleet like a fish, and shouts 'Mr. Lone Ranger' every boat, and the soldiers on the big boat hear this, and many people wave to the boat."

"The Queen Mother has an order, please let Mr. Duxing get off the boat and follow me into the palace." There was a boat division officer standing on the outrage, and he first carefully glanced at the lone traveler before announcing the order of the queen mother.

Hearing that it was the order of the Queen Mother, the rest of the people all knelt down. The lone traveler saluted and said, "The minister can't be ordered." Although the minister is only the chief of a pawn, the military order cannot be violated, and the minister must not leave the boat. ”

"Why is this the case, sir?" The officer sighed. "Doctor Yin Dou of Tang County has promised the Empress Dowager to send 5,000 county soldiers to King Chen Qin. These 5,000 county soldiers have ordered you to be a general, if you don't go, who is handsome? After he finished speaking, he turned to order the boatman who was rocking, "On the order of the Queen Mother, this boat will stop and dock quickly, and dock quickly." ”

*

The head was deeply pierced on the bronze halberd, and his smiling face was pickled in mirage, not only his complexion was pale, but his hair was also stained with ash. At this time, the chariot drove out of the Qin camp and tried the military formation, the halberd trembled with the head, and when it reached three hundred steps outside Xiangcheng, the head on the copper halberd was raised high by the right side of the car, and the two armies of Qin and Wei, who had already lined up, immediately shouted: "King Jing's head is here, Xiangcheng please descend quickly!" ”

"King Jing's head is here, Xiangcheng please descend quickly!" More than 100,000 people cheered like a tsunami. Attacking Xiangcheng was not easier than attacking Chen Ying, and as soon as King Jing's head was sent, the Qin and Wei military camps were immediately boiling. They shouted several times and then shouted in unison: "Chen Cheng is broken, long live!" Banzai! Banzai!! Chen Cheng has been broken, long live! Banzai! Banzai!! ”

Hearing the shouts of the Qin Wei army outside the city, the county soldiers at the head of the city were all white, and when the county Sima Xiang Pu ran to the county government, his hands and feet were so weak that he almost wanted to fall...... Chen Chengpo, the king! ”

"Ahh Xiang Que also heard some shouts outside the city, but the sound was blurred by now, and he didn't want to go out to listen to the enemy's rumors, but he didn't expect the rumors to be true: Chen Cheng City is broken, and the king is killed in battle!

"Ahhh......h The king took the lead and guarded Chen Ying for half a year, and now that he has fallen, no one is sad.

"Cunning, cunning, Qin people are cunning. This is the cunning of the Qin people! Xiang Que was stunned for a moment, then shouted, and then he immediately reprimanded Xiang Pu: "Don't cry!" This Qin people's cunning is also. ”

"The king's head is outside the city!" Xiang Pu held back his sadness, "The reputation of drinking with the king in the previous year... Looking at it from the Lu Li mirror, it is indeed the king, and the head of the Zhao people. Ahh......hhh The king is ......"

Xiang Pu was sure that it was the head of the king, so he felt that his whole body was weak, and he rushed over to report the news. Xiang Que also panicked at this time, and he had to step forward to block Xiang Pu's mouth, "If it is really the king, you need to ban it, otherwise there will be chaos in the city." ”

"Please allow us to avenge the king!" Xiang Pu sobbed. Contrary to Xiang Que's imagination, when he heard that the king was killed in battle, the county guards had no intention of turmoil, only the intention of going out of the city to take revenge.

"No!" Xiang Que still disagreed, but at this time he suddenly heard a cry. It was the county officials in the city who were crying, and the common people in the city who had received the news were also crying. The cry was suppressed, sad, and even more endless, destroying resentment, and then the drum rumbled without warning, Master Xiang, it's time to attack!
