The controversy between the princes of Chu State has attracted the attention of all countries and the attention of all countries, not to mention the doctors and officials, even the market also knows that this time the Taimiao Festival is for the prince of Bu Li, however, the divination has not seen any results in the past three days, and for a time public opinion is turbulent, and there are different opinions.

Shouying is built near the water, digging the pond for the camp, and the canals in the city are criss-crossed, connecting with each other. In the south of the big city behind the Shou Ying Palace, a row of street market flags near the water is hoisted high and lively, and it is a liquor shop that sells alcohol. The Chu people respect the east, and the wine shop on the east side is the place where the nobles and officials often go, where the drum singing and dancing, the six Bo shooting plays, the pity of the pseudo-mother, and the elegance is incomparable. It is rumored that when the king of Chu is happy, he will also go out of the palace to drink the two lords here, and even drink with the guests in the wine shop and get drunk with the common people;

The west is not so elegant, the guests are mostly peddlers and pawns, the people of the market, here play the piano and build the piano, play the flute and drums, fight cocks and dogs, and smoke miasma, but no matter how the smoke miasma, the wine is cheaper than the East Street, the strongest Chu Li, only more than 50 yuan a bucket, the worst turbid fruit wine with vinegar flavor, only 25 yuan.

The weary man is drunk, and he is drunk; Frustrated people are sad, but the more they drink, the more sad they become. Fortunately, there are many debaters in the wine shop, and the strange stories of the countries and the gossip of the palace can always bring people some fun, but in recent months, the prince's choice has become a menstrual topic in the wine shop. Some people stand on the side of Prince Jing, thinking that Prince Jing built an unprecedented car in Chu and became the strongest crossbow in the world, but he was actually a holy king and should be made the crown prince; But recently, wave after wave of auspicious people came to the world, and everyone felt that this was a god warning the world, should be the prince of the prince, otherwise God will definitely bring disaster to Chu, every now and then, someone will mention the difficulties of the former Yingdu,

"When it is time, everyone in Yingdu fights, all hearts are united, the Qin people cannot pull out, the grain is exhausted, and the army will retreat. However, the Qin people had a lot of grain and straw, and they didn't realize the water transportation, so they demolished the houses and built canals, and washed the city with water, and the city collapsed for a long time. At that time, Yingdu was like a pool, floating corpses filled the city, and the smell could be smelled for thirty miles. How violent the Qin people are! How miserable are the Chu people......"

A bowl of turbid wine and a line of tears, the white-haired old lame man nagged about the old things of Bai Qiqi forty years ago, talking about the cruelty of the Qin army and the misery of the Chu people. It's just that these are all old tunes, and they are said again and again, and everyone's ears hear the calluses, and the old man's voice is also small, and what he says is almost drowned out by the shouts of cockfighting and lackeys, and at this time the drinkers are now all surrounding a sloppy blue-clothed man, listening to him say the secret of choosing a prince in the palace.

"The day before yesterday, the palace was divined for the selection of the prince's sacrifice, and the words were 'to take Qiuhua as the king' and 'to Chunyang as the king', but neither of them was ......"

"Neither?!" The drinkers were in an uproar, they also knew some divination techniques, and the proposition was to ask the gods about the words, usually positive and negative, engraved on the tortoise shell. Xingbu has always been either left or right, and there is no such thing as both.

"Faith." Several drinkers wiped their mouths and waved their sleeves and shouted, "Yes or no, why neither?" ”

"If it's true, yes or no, why don't you hear the words of the eldest son in the palace?" The man in blue sneered contemptuously, he was a frequent customer of the wine shop, nameless and surnameless, and claimed to be a lone man. Of course, there is a sword in the chivalry, it is a two-foot ancient sword, and the rich want to buy it, and they all regret it.

The lone ranger's words made all the shouters shut up, he turned his face to the east, and sighed: "Neither is either, no one is the king, looking at it from the sky, the state of Chu will die." As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color, and the timid even trembled.

"Wine—come on!" The shopkeeper shouted and drank again and again and walked the plum blossom pile as if he had to walk in the store, and after delivering the wine, he saw that the guests were all surrounded by the lone ranger and his complexion changed greatly, and he delayed drinking, and couldn't help but say more: "The state of Chu is dead, the country of Chu is dead, Mr. has been reading for more than ten years, why is the country of Chu still not dead?" Invite the guests back to the table, Mr. Lone once grabbed the ground with his head and talked nonsense for a long time. ”

"Huh......" Everyone was in an uproar again, looking at the lone ranger with deep suspicion.

"Rude!" The lone ranger rose angrily, and the bronze sword was unsheathed, but unfortunately, the sword was broken. "Dare to say that I grabbed the ground with my head?"

Although the "......" sword was broken, it could still kill, and the shopkeeper holding the liquor case stiffened and stood on the spot.

"Mr. Broken Sword, can you pay for last month's wine today?" Seeing this, the shopkeeper was not in a hurry and had a plan to deal with it.

"Hmph, who has less money for your drink!" A penny is difficult for a hero, the lone ranger owes a lot of debts, and he is not afraid of the shopkeeper suing the official, but he is afraid that there will be no wine to drink in the future - this is the place where Yingdu She gave him wine. "It's bad luck to kill people today, and I'll spare you death."

The lone ranger put away his sword, but by this time the drinkers looked at him differently. After reading for more than ten years, the state of Chu is dead, there must be some problems in the brain, and the group smiled humbly, and they all sat back at the table.

"Taimiao's divination, is it really both?" In the same street market, the west side is full of shouting and chaos, the east side is full of glamour sounds, and in the compartment, the gold and jade light is dazzling, and some people are also talking about the prince's choice three days ago.

"Exactly." The news here is not groundless, "This divination, the prince is a chaste, Taibu Buzhi, and Guantuo is divination." Unexpectedly, the left and right signs are the same, and there is no distinction between the evil and the auspicious, so the view sighs: 'This is not the time to establish the eldest son'. ”

"Little gold and jade, not a tribute." The questioner was dressed in green clothes, he smiled, and pushed the gold jade on the case.

The answerer was dressed in a dark robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and it seemed that Sven was not polite at all, and he flattered him while holding the gold and jade in his arms: "If the son has any doubts, you can ask, if I know, I will say everything." ”

"What is the king?" The boy in Tsing Yi nodded, seemingly asking a casual question, but his eyes were covering the other party, looking at his face carefully.

"The king is weak, and he can't afford to fall to the ground after the sacrifice, and the doctor Yin said, ......"

"What do you say?" The young man in Tsing Yi looked hotter, and hurriedly asked in excitement.

"Yi Yin ......" The answerer stopped talking, but fortunately, the other party knew what he meant, and took out a pair of jade from his arms, and then he said: "Yi Yin said: 'The king is old and frail, and he has old diseases...... It's not spring or autumn.'"

'It's not spring or autumn' said very quietly and very quietly, but these four words are like spring thunder exploding in the ears of the young man in Tsing Yi, so that he is restless, and he excuses himself before the wine and food are served, and the answerer does not care, he can just enjoy the wine and food alone, why not be happy.

"The life of the king of Chu should be carried today." In an unknown corner of the city, the young man in Tsing Yi, who had left the wine shop, bowed to the ground, mentioning that he had just gotten the news at the wine shop. "This ......"

"It's lifed. Why are you here? The atrium was dim, and the person who spoke was in the dark, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his tone was very stern.

"The longevity of the king of Chu is related to the king of Jingren, and the two princes of Jing and Han compete for the prince, so that Yin and Zuo are ......"

"Don't go?!" As if he hadn't heard the words of the boy in Tsing Yi, the people in the shadows had already chased away the guests.

"Yes." Although he was very reluctant, the boy in Tsing Yi had to get up and bow away.

"People who come today are impetuous, and they are moved when they hear the news, which is far worse than in the past." There was more than one person in the room, and the loud man came to a side room after the boy in Tsing Yi left, where there was a woman sitting with a folded collar and a long skirt dragging to the ground, but her face was covered with a silk brocade, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

"Hehe...... "The woman's laughter is delicate and beautiful." Four years ago, the five countries joined forces, entered the Han Valley and were defeated, all of which were the work of our waiting. Afterwards, Huang Xie swept away my people, and everyone who was in Chu for a long time died. Today's people, untempered, only want to make contributions, Hu Ke is more than the people of the past. ”

"Is King Jing's longevity true?" The man asked, "Who should King Jing appoint as the eldest son, Prince Jinghu?" ”

"The Jing royal family all have heart disease, don't be overjoyed or angry, otherwise they will die suddenly. King Jing is old and sick, and because of what Yan Dynasty said the month before, King Jing was furious, that is, he stroked his chest and fell to the ground. In this way, Fang Youyin, Zuo Tu and others asked King Jing to establish a prince......"

The woman talked eloquently, all the secrets of the palace, and how did she know that the men did not ask, but he listened. As a Qin spy, knowing how to listen is ten times more important than knowing how to speak.

"The matter of the eldest son, King Jing first belonged to Xiong Qiang, and then to Xiong Jing, only because of the strong crossbow and changed, King Jing or Xin Xiong Jing came into the world as a holy king."

"Jing people are good at obscene shrines, believe in ghosts and gods, and the five-star alignment, and the saying that the holy king came into the world is just self-deception." The man couldn't help but interrupt, "The strong crossbow is indeed a sharp weapon of the army, Xianyang didn't ask, I have arranged it, but the fortification is very strict, and there is no way to get it." ”

"I heard that there is one in the middle of the night, and King Jing survives, but unfortunately under the eyes of everyone, no one can approach." The woman suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "Can't Xianyang ink be made?" The world's crossbows are all unsuccessful in Korea. ”

"I can't." The man shook his head, he had been in battle for a long time before he entered Chu as a spy, and he knew the true value of the strong crossbow. "Jingzhiqiang's crossbow is different from the world's crossbows, with a wooden arm as a string and a clever structure. Although Han's crossbow could reach far, the arrows were uncertain, and the arrows were dozens of steps apart, and the shooting was slow, only twenty arrows at a time, very few. The crossbow is said to be able to shoot 400 steps, has exceeded the Han crossbow, a hundred arrows are shot, the target is less than three zhang wide, and its shooting is urgent, and the arrow can be fired after a few breaths. The two armies faced each other, and fought after battle, if we shot our main general with a crossbow dozens of times, it would be as miserable as a bee, and no one would be spared. ”

The man whispered his concerns. The wars of the cold weapon era were all fought in formation, and the confrontation was along a battle line, and under normal circumstances, whoever had more soldiers could flank and encircle the enemy on three sides. The gap between the soldiers and the soldiers between the arrays is already narrow, and even if the array does not collapse after the flanks are outflanked, the gap between the soldiers will be gradually suppressed until there is no more. At that time, the soldiers were next to each other, the weapons could not be used, and the people could not be disturbed, so they could only be cut down by the enemy as if they were peeling onions. In the famous Battle of Cannae in the West, 80,000 Romans were peeled onions by Hanbaini, who had fewer troops than him, and 70,000 were hacked to death and 10,000 prisoners.

Flanking is one, and penetrating a certain army formation on the enemy's battle line can also be a big victory. Fear is contagious, especially for undisciplined troops, and if the battle line is penetrated by the enemy, the soldiers of the entire front can flee. The Chu army has a strong crossbow, and when the formation is broken, it will shoot with a strong crossbow first, and the formation will be chaotic; If a strong crossbow is used to shoot directly at the general of the Chinese army, the two armies are only 200 paces when they are arrayed, and although the main general is not at the front of the army formation, he is only 400 steps away from the enemy formation, and once the main general is killed, the army will be defeated.

The Chu crossbow is a big killing weapon, this is the consensus of the countries after the Chu crossbow range was spread, Han Wei Zhao, as an ally of the Chu State, had already sent an envoy to the Chu State to ask for it, of course, this will cost a lot of money. Qin Qi, as the enemy of the Chu State, is impossible to ask for directly, and the overly fooled Ling Yin Chun Shenjun is now heavily fortified, so he can only ask for help from home.
