In times of war, not only those who could fight were requisitioned, but also cattle that could be used in war, including horses in the royal palace. The cars of hundreds of officials and nobles, with Ling Yin Huangxie as an example, all turned into cows. For some reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to learn to ride a horse, so it took more than ten days for Ma Yin to find a pony less than two years old, which was considered to have fulfilled the king's mandate.

To his father Xiong Yuan, Xiong Jing said that he was five feet, but in fact, he was still a little short of five feet, and he really took off his shoes and bare feet, which is estimated to be a little more than a meter, less than five feet. Lacking height and strength, in the opinion of the middle stable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not learn to ride a horse at all, and he is not old enough to control the galloping horse. It's just that His Highness insists on riding, and he is different from ordinary children: ordinary children can't concentrate on one thing for a long time, but His Highness doesn't, practicing getting on the horse and paying full attention, like an adult.

Will, or reason, is almost non-existent in children, but it is innate. Unfortunately, if a horse doesn't want to run well, even adults can't do anything about it.

"Woo——! Sigh!! On horseback, seeing the wall in front of him getting closer and closer, Xiong Jing hurriedly shouted to stop the horse, but it was still too late, the pony hit the wooden wall of the garden directly, although he clamped the saddle, he was not spared, fortunately the pedaling was shallow, and there was no dragging.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness......" The middle stable Yin hurriedly ran over, followed by a few boys, as well as feathers and birds.

"I ...... I'm fine. "It's okay to hit the wall, the key is to hit the head down, but fortunately, the arm is propped up." I'm fine. ”

"Your Highness, this horse is not auspicious, it can't be a mount for His Highness, please slaughter it." Yin Cheng was terrified, he had already seen that this pony was unruly and could not be the mount of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"No way!" Speaking of that horse, Xiong Jing is angry, and he can't allow anyone to ride on it, before it was a wild upheaval, and now it is hitting the wall, and it is completely the same fate. "I, I don't believe I can't ride it!"

Xiong Jing staggered to his feet, staggered a few steps, and ran to the horse. The horse had been held by the boy, and it was snorting incessantly, and the muscles in its chest twitched—it didn't get much better when it hit the wall, and its chest was scratched and flesh was blurred.

"Go, go get ......" Xiong Jing was angry when he saw this animal that had fallen N times, and he wanted to chop it with a knife. But there was a resonance in this hatred, and he felt that his temperament was very similar to that of this horse: he would rather die than do what he did not want to do. Now that two creatures of the same nature are coming together, it is natural for this to happen.

Probably feeling Xiong Jing's hatred, the horse screamed in a rhythm, and the boy who pulled the reins retreated again and again.

"Go find a rabbit." Xiong Jing took the reins and sent the boy to look for the rabbit.

"Rabbit ......" caught up with the middle stable Yin looked at Xiong Jing and didn't understand why, he didn't understand what the rabbit had to do with the horse.

The rabbit came and was as white as a horse's complexion, and Xiong Jing threw the reins, grabbed the rabbit and walked to the horse. Regardless of whether the horse could understand human speech or not, he drew his sword and said loudly: "If you hit the wall again and lift me off the horse, this is the end." ”

Xiong Jing's sword was small, but it didn't hinder its sharpness in the slightest. The blade of the sword was sharpened, and the little white rabbit who was still struggling turned into two halves, and the rabbit blood splashed not only Xiong Jing's body, but also the horse's face. The horse barked again, its head flicked, and its body pushed backwards, but this time it was a few men pulling the reins, and although it struggled, it could not be shaken no matter how much it struggled.

"The eldest son tamed the horse, the horse did not follow, the number was reversed, the eldest son killed the rabbit and hacked the horse, the horse was shocked" right historical record, the bloody scene ......of the prince killing the rabbit was recorded in the history books by him.

"Drive! Driving—" The sword was unsheathed, and Xiong Jing stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse again despite the rabbit blood on his body. The hearts of Yin and the others in the middle stable were all in their throats, and they still watched Xiong Jing go away in the dust, running farther and farther away in the garden.

Horseback riding may seem easy, but it's actually a difficult thing to master. Even if it is an empathetic old horse, the rider must pay attention to the coordination between his movements, center of gravity and the horse. Sitting at a trot, sitting at a jog, and sitting at a gallop are different. The horse was galloping under his crotch, and although he didn't know if the animal would hit the wall again, Xiong Jing didn't tighten the reins, just let it run, and he wanted to see what it wanted to do.

The horse galloped fast, there was no wall in front of him, but there was a thorn half a man high, and before he could understand what the animal was going to do, he felt a sudden force under his crotch, and then his whole body fluttered as light as weightlessness. Then the horse jumped over the thorn, and when he landed, he was shaken, and he almost fell off the horse.

After a long run over thorns, over ravines, over puddles, and at last the horse was tired, sweating profusely and panting, and his whole body was hot. Xiong Jing was also dismounted by it on his horse, but he did not dismount.

"Your Highness, this horse has been served." Yin came up in the middle stable, and he was a sycophant, as if he didn't see Xiong Jing being helped down by feathers and birds.

"Convinced?" Xiong Jing felt that his buttocks were all worn out, and he shook his head bitterly: "It's still not convinced." That being the case, this horse will be unconvinced in the future. Take it back to the stable, and don't come back tomorrow. ”

When he was riding a horse, he was engrossed, staggered out of the confinement garden, and saw the gorgeous Chu Palace, and the grim reality came to his mind again:

Seven days ago, 100,000 Chu troops and 70,000 Qin troops in the north of Xixian County fought in Jiangyi, and the weakest right flank of the Chu army was pierced by the Qin army's sharp soldiers soon after the battle, and the formation was broken and defeated, but fortunately the Chinese army was not chaotic. While the front line resisted the Qin people, the whole army retreated several miles to stabilize its position again. It's just that the piercing right wing was outflanked by the Qin army, and it was impossible to withdraw, and it was completely wiped out in this battle......

Four days ago, Ling Yin Huangxie reported that Wei and Qi had hidden troop movements, and Zhao had no signs of sending troops to rescue him......

Yesterday, Feixun reported that the Qin army had increased by 200,000 troops, and the vanguard would soon enter the Chu realm......

In reality, in Xiong Jing's view, history seems to have turned somewhere. Originally, it was supposed to be Chang Yu and Lu Buwei dismissed the prime minister, and then the king of Qin issued an order to expel the guest, and then Li Si admonished the guest book, and then it was to kill Zhao, Li Mu died and Zhao died. Now, Lü Buwei did not quit the prime minister, and the Qin State did not attack Zhao, but Chu.

Even if the Qin State and the Six Kwantung States really want to unite, they will be defeated by the coalition forces as they did nine years ago. Now not only Qin and Chu, but also Wei and Qi have come to join in the fun, in this way, the state of Chu is really not far from the death of the country, and many of the major events planned by Xiong Jing before seem to be incomplete.

History has indeed turned a corner. The turning point is not today, but a few months ago, when the first ballista was test-fired, Xiong Yuan, the king of Chu, said a faint 'good'. According to history, Xiong Jing, a small feudal monarch, will die of illness in my tomb, if it were not for the bronze engraved with its gold inscription unearthed in later generations, no one would know that the legendary childless Chu Kaoli King Xiong Yuan also had a son sealed in my tomb.

If Xiong Han ascends the throne, killing Huang Xie and coercing the new commander Yin Li Yuan is enough to ensure that Chu does not interfere with Qin's cause of destroying Zhao; Xiong Jing's accession to the throne is different, his biological mother is not Zhao Guozhuyou but the princess of Zhao State, two of the three princes are Zhao people, and those old ministers and landless feudal monarchs who supported his accession to the throne all hate Qin Jiu. The harem, the teacher, the courtiers, any one of them gaining power will cause Qin Chu to be unable to continue the peace for decades, so it must be wiped out.

Of course, immortals fight, mortals suffer. The Qin State has not yet unified the world, but it has long been the recognized overlord of the world. The power struggle within the Qin State will naturally affect all countries in the world, and in the final analysis, Xianyang is the real center of the world. When the wind blows in Xianyang, the nations will make waves; The Xianyang storm is a surge of the nations. What happened to Chu now is nothing more than that Xianyang is in a raging storm.

Xiong Jing was young, and to make matters worse, his princely studies had just begun—the true laws of power that an ordinary modern person could hardly understand and could not discern were the most common fallacies: the state and oneself were confused, good and evil were one or the other, and those who won the hearts and minds of the people won the world. Xiong Jing is not known for the time being, but some other people in Yingdu understand it very well, and Fanjun Wu Shen is one of them.

"In this way, the person behind Yang Wenjun is the Empress Dowager Huayang of the Qin State." In the dim hall, several people sat upright, the master's position was the negative, the lower right was his adviser, and the left was Fanjun Wu Shen, and the king was the left army Sima Shenyong.

"Exactly." Prince Shu, who had already announced his illness, spoke in a modest tone, "What does Doctor Wu think?" ”

"If that's the case......" Wu Shen pondered repeatedly. The old ministers and feudal kings support Xiong Jing more, the hundred officials and officials are mostly attached to Ling Yin Huangxie, and those senior county Yin Yi Gong, these people are doing their own thing, and at most they sell a few faces. He wanted to seize the throne and stand on his own, and there were very few people who supported him, so Wu Shen was designated as Ling Yin, and now that Yang Wenjun is involved, Ling Yin is not him.

"Yang Wenjun has the help of the Qin State, and has persuaded Chen Gong and others to make it a great success. The minister is already old, and the traitorous minister can be removed, please give the minister back to his hometown to support the elderly, and there is nothing else to ask for. Wu Shen had something to say, and he laughed when he listened.

"Don't worry, doctor, if the big thing is done, Huang Xie will be punished, I will allow the doctor to return to his hometown." He promised to do so, but he only said that he would return to his hometown and not talk about pension. Huang Xie was sealed in the old capital of Wu, and let the descendants of King Wu go to the old capital of Wu to retire, and chaos would arise.

"Thank you." Wu Shen didn't seem to understand the mystery in the negative words, and knelt down and thanked him. He looked at Shen Yong again and said: "Since the king is gone, and the division of Jiangdong is approaching Yingdu, it is necessary to ...... as soon as possible to do great things."

No matter how much the big thing is planned, the crown prince will be killed, and then the throne can be announced. The only available soldier is Wu Shen, who used the excuse of participating in the war to transfer more than 1,000 dead soldiers from Fanyi, as for the left army of the king......

"When I came, I saw Childe again, Childe... Not yet allowed. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shen Yong spoke with a bitter face.

"Not allowed?" Negative was a little anxious, "How can he do it?" ”

"The villain doesn't know." Shen Yongdao. "It's just that when I heard that the Chu army was defeated, the prince scolded angrily, saying that this is the reason why my Chu country can't change the law, and the Qin people can be beheaded to give a knight, and the beheading of the Chu people is just Yilu ......"

"If Yingdu is in chaos, how about General Jing sit idly by?" A voice asked, it was the advisor who was in charge.

"Sit by?" Shen Yong was puzzled, and neither were the others.
