Crossing Yin Mountain from the west of Helan Mountain, then rushing east from the grassland north of Yin Mountain, and finally entering Zhao from Yanmen County or Dai County, this is Xiong Jing's route back to Chu. In April, the endless grasslands are already yellow and green, and the meandering rivers sparkle in the sunlight like a mirror embedded in them. The small mound next to the mirror belt is dotted with red, blue, and purple flowers, dotting the endless grassland.

As far as the eye could see, the smell of grass juice was green between the wings of the nose. As soon as everyone stopped, the mounts would bow their heads and nibble on the young grass beneath them, even if they had just been fed in the morning. However, Xiong Jing had no time to enjoy the beauty of the grassland, because his courtiers were dying.

"King Qiqi," the doctor turned to Xiong Jing as soon as he entered the account, and bluntly stated the result. "Yi Hou is seriously injured, and he will die."

"General?!" Xiong Jing looked at the healer, he knew that this result would be achieved, but he could not accept this result.

"Yes, yes." The healer said helplessly. "Please ...... the King"

At noon, the sun on the grassland was dazzling, but Pippen was a little dim, Yi Jing, who had taken a glass of Haoma juice before, saw Xiong Jing coming, and wanted to get up with the support of his son, Xiong Jing hurriedly said: "Yi Qing doesn't have to salute. ”

"The ministers and generals can no longer serve the king." The medicine supported Yi Jing's spirit, but he looked at Xiong Jing and smiled, but he was helpless in his heart. He couldn't see the Chu army recovering the old Ying, nor could he see Xiong Jing defeating the Qin people and dominating the world.

"Yi Qing has done enough, not to ......" Xiong Jing was speechless. Yi Su was the person he trusted the most, he was just his courtier, not a courtier of the Chu State.

"The minister still has two things...... Yi Su looked at his son, and the tearful Yi drunk bowed and went out of the tent, and stood guard outside the tent. Seeing his son go out, Yi Su grabbed Xiong Jing's hand and said, "The minister is worried about the weakness of the monarch." Xiang sits big, if Ao recovers. Xiang Bo is submissive, but are his descendants submissive? If the Ao clan had a rebellious heart in the past, the king may be able to serve today, but the prince and his descendants can be served? ”

The ministers said the words of the ministers, Yi Su was loyal, and what he was worried about before he died was still the monarchy and the ministers. The Xiong Jing he said has always been in his heart, but the most important issue facing him at the moment is the survival of the Chu State, not the strength of the monarchy. The Xiang clan and the Ruo Ao clan must at least wait until the old Ying is taken and the Qin state declines before weakening the checks and balances.

"I don't know." Xiong Jing didn't explain much, only nodded to Yi Su. "In the future, we will try to weaken these two clans."

Before dying, the king was able to listen immediately, and Yi Su was pleased. Relying on the last bit of medicinal power of Haoma juice, he said again: "The minister does not know the four oceans and six continents, nor does he know the world, but the king and the Yue people have allied and taught him the art of making boats and navigation, and he may cause great harm in the future." The more people are stupid, the Luo family is arrogant, in order to restore the land of the ancestors, in time, the Luo family will deceive the more people to betray me, and the king is asked not to forget the equipment. ”

"I don't know." Xiong Jing shook again, "After Fuying defeated Qin, the Luo clan should be balanced with Zhuyue." The sea boat needs to be equipped with artillery to cross the four oceans, and Luo's only knows how to build boats and sail, and does not know how to cast cannons and make medicines, which is difficult to cause great harm. ”

"Chen Anye. Entering the Yellow Spring to meet the first king and the first king, it can be said... I'm a big Chu Bichang. Yi Su breathed a sigh of relief, and after no worries, life passed away from him quickly, and when Yi Drunk, Yi Tong, Xiong Han and others were in the account, he wanted to smile at them, but as soon as this smile came up, he stopped breathing forever. The howl sounded from inside Pippen, and the knights of the Chu army outside were in tears when they heard it.

"It's not a bad thing." Xiong Jing blamed himself. It was he who sent Yi Su into Qin, and then the Qin people set up an ambush and seriously injured Yi Su.

"What's wrong with the king?" Yitong tried his best to maintain the majesty of Xiongjing. "The lord died at the hands of the Qin people, and I will fight Qin in the future to revenge. The matter of the princess is a mistake by the court! The king Yun married the son of Mi as his wife, and the king of Qin made him a lover, how could I, the king of Chu, become a good man of Qin? The king ordered the lord to enter Qin to welcome the princess, and he believed in the lord and the king, so why regret death? What is the regret of dying? ”

Yi Tong is full of tears, he not only has to maintain the majesty of the king, but also the value of Yi Su's death. Xiong Jing was speechless about his words, and when he returned to the tent silently, Mi Xuan, who heard that the Hou of Yi had died, was also uneasy. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xiong Jing held her in his arms.

"I ......" because he died of Yihou, remembering that his aunt often said how Zhao Nu was, Mi Xuan's heart was full of gloom.

"Don't speak." Xiong Jing blocked her mouth, and the two hugged each other like this, feeling each other's heartbeats.

"I've seen the General!"

"I've seen the General!"

……

When Yi Su died, Zhao Guofanwu, whose climate was already in the hot summer, was busy. After more than half a month of rectification, the military discipline of the Zhao army was clear, and the soldiers' awe of the generals and officers increased greatly. The generals and officers did not dare to be in cahoots with the non-commissioned officers anymore, and drank and indulged.

In the early morning, Yan Ju's chariot drove in the barracks, and the generals of the Zhao army along the road saluted one after another. Thinking of Zhao Jun's disrespectful appearance before, Yan Ju nodded with satisfaction, his efforts were not in vain.

"The king has an order, so that our army will go out of the city to fight with the Qin army, and then defeat the Qin people. Yesterday, the general had ordered all battalions to fight today, so today ...... "The shogunate was full of generals and captains of the Zhao army, looking at them, Yan Ju was ready to give orders to go to war.

"The great river has been navigated, why is the general eager to go out of the city to fight the Qin people?" The generals were actually unwilling in their hearts. After Li Mu was assassinated by the Qin people, everyone was worried that the Qin people would attack again, but for more than ten days, the Qin army had been making siege equipment and had not attacked again.

"What about navigation?" Yan Ju looked at the generals in the tent. "All countries only wish that the Qin people will attack our Zhao country, and the alliance has not yet been completed. For today's plan, only by defeating the Qin army again can the Zhao State not die. ”

"The Qin army is 500,000, and we are only 300,000, how can we fight? Why is it undefeated? It was Captain Zhao Ao who spoke. He endured the rectification of military discipline, and he couldn't bear it when he watched Yan Ju take Zhao Jun to his death.

"What about the 500,000 Qin army?" Yan Ju locked his eyes on Zhao Ao, "Since you were able to defeat the Qin army before, why can't you win today?" ”

"The Qin army was able to defeat several times before, all because of the strength of Wu Anbo alone. By you? Zhao Ao was fearless, "The battle will be defeated, and the Zhao country will die!" ”

"Rude!" Zhao Ao's direct attack made Yan Ju furious, but before Yan Ju, Zhao Cong drank: "Little Captain, dare to praise the enemy?" He also asked the general for his guilt. ”

"The war will be lost, the country will be defeated, what is my crime?" Zhao Ao was disdainful. "All the ears! Qi people also know war? ”

"You!" Yan Ju was really angry, the Qi army could not fight since Queen Xuan, and it seemed that it would not be until Siye more than 2,000 years later that the tradition of Qi people being good at fighting could be redeemed. Yan Ju is a Qi person, and he is the most taboo for others to criticize Qi people, his anger is no longer restrained, and he shouted: "You dare to humiliate this general?!" Come! Chop. ”

"Yan Ju! You go out to war and want to kill Zhao State, if Zhao State dies, Qi State also dies, what do you have ......in mind" Zhao Ao was dragged out by the shogunate soldiers, and the generals who heard that Yan Ju was going to kill people hurriedly said: "Zhao Ao, reckless man, please don't care about the reckless man's fault." ”

"In the name of the general's good fighting, I have heard of it a long time ago, and it is not a pity for Zhao Ao to die, but the soldiers may be unstable when they see this." What is the fox baby strategist, when he is in a hurry, he knows that he is ten times stronger than the rest of Zhao Generals.

"Oh? You have heard of the name of Ben who is good at fighting? Yan Ju waved his hand to stop the military officials who had entered the account and asked whether to behead them.

"Yes. In the past, the general led the army to defeat the Wei army, and the ministers heard about it. "The fox baby is well-informed, and he also pulled out a small victory of Yan Ju more than ten years ago. At this time, General Zhao also echoed him, saying that he had heard the name of Yan Ju and good fighting.

"The death penalty can be avoided, the punishment cannot be avoided......" Yan Ju's voice echoed in the shogunate, outside the tent, Zhao Ao had already knelt on the ground and was waiting to die. Unexpectedly, the military officials who rushed out of the shogunate did not order him to be beheaded, but put him in prison.

"Why don't you kill me? Why don't you kill me? Zhao Ao asked loudly, but unfortunately the military officials did not answer, and it was not until the end of the shogunate that someone came to tell him, talking about the fox baby's plea for mercy from Yan Ju.

"Woohoo!" Zhao Ao sighed. "What's the use of saving me?! Zhao Guo is dying, what's the use of saving me? ”

Zhao Ao provoked Yan Ju, just to make all the captains oppose Yan Ju, so that they would not go out of the city to fight with the Qin army. Unexpectedly, in order to save him, all the captains pleaded with Yan Ju, and a big battle was inevitable.

"The king's order is like this, Wu Anbo is also dead, what can I do?" At the same time, Sima Xian, the commander of the capital, let out a more sad sigh than Zhao Ao. Li Mu's assassination made Zhao Jun fall into deep unease, and Yan Ju's purge of military discipline was only done on the surface, even worse than not purging military discipline.

"You wait......" Zhao Ao in the prison wanted to say more, but saw that Sima Xian and the others were no longer there. Fanwu City, which had been closed before, suddenly opened its gates, and groups of Zhao soldiers hurriedly left the camp and lined up outside the city.

"Ahh Ahh......h

The more he couldn't see anyone, the more Zhao Ao shouted, until his voice was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound. At this time, the drums of the fierce battle outside the city were already earth-shattering, accompanied by the shouts of the two soldiers, these sounds reached his ears, making his heart even more anxious. But within an hour of this anxiety, I heard someone outside the city shouting long live. On the battlefield, he suddenly shouted Long live when there was a big victory, Zhao Ao naturally hoped that it was the Zhao army that won, and then it was the Zhao army who rushed into the city in a panic.

"Long live Great Qin! Long live Great Qin! Long live the Great Qin...... "Outside the city of Fanyi, the head of the great general Yan Ju was picked up on the spear by the cavalry under Xin Sheng. In front of them, the collapsed Zhao army was driven by hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and in a panic, they did not even dare to enter Fanwu City, but abandoned their armor and jumped into the shallow Hutuo River, fleeing north.

"General, our army has won a great victory! Our army has won a great victory! "The Qin army, the generals who saw this scene congratulated Wang Jian one after another.

"God bless Daqin, Dawang Temple counts, there will be today's victory." Wang Jianxi's face was not revealed, and his sweaty palms were wiped on the long shirt at this time, and he randomly ordered the Qin army to pursue.
