(Comment Subscription Walk Up!) )

On June 20 of the 10th year of the Marquis of Wei, after a long march, the army of Chu officially entered Wangji and came to the territory of Zhou Tianzi.

The entry of the Chu army into Wangji was no surprise to the Zhou people. Every time the Chu army went north to attack Wei, the army would borrow Wangji.

The Zhou people, who had finally lived a few years in peace, now only hope that the Chu army will not go too far and leave them basic rations when they collect grain.

Since the Marquis of Wei made the pilgrimage to Shangluo, the authority of the Son of Heaven has been lowered to a higher level in the hearts of the Zhou people, and the Zhou people will not expect the Son of Heaven to help them to endure suffering.

In fact, even if there was no Wei Wuji making trouble in the palace, the Zhou people would not have hope for Ji Xiao, because before that, the Chu army crossed the border, and the Zhou people were all bloody.

Ordinary people are worried, and Ji Xiao, the son of heaven who lives in the palace, is also worried that the Chu people will be rude.

Ever since Wei Wuji entered Shangluo and made a big fuss, Ji Xiao has suffered from a deep phobia of a great country, and the arrival of the Chu people has made him as uneasy as ordinary people.

In this case, in order to stabilize the Chu army entering the country, Ji Xiao sent an envoy to reward the three armies.

This is also the most convenient means for Ji Xiao to succeed to the throne, and he has rewarded the armies of Qin, Wei, Chuqi and other big countries.

But what Ji Xiao didn't expect was that it was because of his reward behavior that the people of Chu were lured to Shangluo City.

On June 24, the Chu army marched into Shangluo, and the main general Xiong Xian set up a tent in Shangluo.

As soon as he saw this posture, Ji Xiao, the Son of Heaven, knew that the Chu people were planning to stay permanently, which made him even more restless.

didn't wait for Ji Xiao to feel uncomfortable for a long time, and the waiter reported that Chu General Xiong Xian had come to meet him.

said that it was an audience, but Xiong Xian came with soldiers, and he ignored the majesty of the palace, and a large group of people and horses rushed in.

The chaos in the palace was staged again after a lapse of six years, looking at Xiong Xian who led the troops to the outside of the main hall, Ji Xiao's face on the throne was pale, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was even more clenched.

Since Wei Wuji's soldiers rebelled in Luo, the royal prestige has disappeared, and now the Chu people have also become presumptuous.

You must know that at the beginning, although the armies of Chu and Wu and other great powers also entered and exited Wangji, they never led troops to break into the palace.

But with the decline of the royal prestige, there is also the courage of Ji Xiao herself.

In the face of Chu General Xiong Xian's great rebellion, even though Ji Xiao was furious in her heart, she didn't even have a word of questioning.

"Foreign Minister Xiong Xian, meet Your Majesty!" After stepping into the main hall, Xiong Xian only bowed slightly.

The Chu people are arrogant, and Ji Xiao tries to calm her mood and try her best to look more peaceful.

"When Chu Jun Xiong Jun went to Shangluo to send off the first king, he was only the prince of Chu, and he was not separated for many years...... It's a thing, it's a person! Ji Xiao said slowly.

He has nothing to say, although it is a topic that can't be beaten by eight poles, but it can be regarded as an opening statement, which slightly resolves some embarrassment.

Although Xiong Xian is reckless today, it has also been carefully considered by him, this southern man who is nearly fifty years old, his eyes are constantly flashing at this time, and he knows that his heart has never stopped.

"Your Majesty, after my monarch succeeded to the throne, he dreamed of sleeping all night...... Fighting for the Great Zhou royal family is also a lot of hard work! Xiong Xian said in a low tone.

The topic was so talked about by Xiong Xian, and Ji Xiao didn't know what to say...... Is it to question the words of the Chu people? Or follow and praise Xiong Jun?

Then, I heard Ji Xiao sigh: "If all the princes in the world are as loyal as Chu Jun, then the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be as chaotic as it is now......

Xiong Xian said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and now there is a scuffle in the world, the reason for this is ...... It's all because of Wei Hou's perverse behavior and rebellion! ”

"Now all the countries are invaded by the Wei army, and the people are struggling to make a living...... The world is bitter, and the Marquis of Wei has been brutal for a long time! ”

Seeing Xiong Xian empathize with him like this, Ji Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

It's true that Wei Wuji brought disaster to the country and the people, but your Chu country will do good deeds? Ji Xiao really didn't know how Xiong Xian could perform such a sincere play.

Ji Xiao replied casually: "Qing's words are reasonable, Wei Hou has no king's law, it is indeed extremely hateful!" ”

Although Ji Xiao said lightly, Xiong Xian bit it and only listened to him: "My Chu State has always been the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can I make a rebellious trip to the Wei State, and this time our army will go north...... is about to send troops to the Wei State to crusade against the unsubordinate! ”

Ji Xiao couldn't understand what the purpose of the people of Chu had been emphasizing justice for their actions, was it to win their own understanding?

Ji Xiao is self-aware, how heavy can the position of the Son of Heaven be in the eyes of the people of Chu? Will they care about their understanding?

Ji Xiao was a little at a loss at this time, the Chu people must have a plan like this, but he didn't understand it yet.

Ji Xiao had no choice but to say: "The Chu army is loyal, and I am very relieved ......"

At this time, he saw Xiong Xian bowing down and said: "Kuang Ping the world is the duty of a minister, and it is my duty to Chu State, but there is one thing that needs Your Majesty's help!" ”

The fox's tail is finally about to be revealed...... Ji Xiao said secretly in his heart, but he asked quietly on his face, "What's the matter?" You might as well speak up first......"

Xiong Xian said: "Your Majesty, our army is on an expedition, and the supply of grain, grass and military supplies is insufficient in a hurry, and three days ago, the monarch rewarded the three monarchs, and all the troops said that Your Majesty is benevo......lent and righteous."

"Therefore, entrusted by the army, I have come to borrow some grain and grass like Your Majesty to subsidize military expenses!"

Xiong Xian's words were finished, but Ji Xiao didn't know what to say at this time, and the people of Chu could give him a big problem.

To put it simply, Ji Xiao is also living a tight life now, where there is grain and grass to supply to the Chu people.

So he politely refused: "The general doesn't know, the royal court has been strapped for money in recent years, and he has barely survived...... There is no more power left to support your army! ”

These words couldn't stop Xiong Xian's mouth, so he only listened to him: "Your Majesty said the difference, everyone in the world knows that Wang Ji is rich, and the Son of Heaven is even richer all over the world, how can there be no food to collect?"

The implication of Xiong Xian's words is already obvious, this is to let Ji Xiao go to collect grain from the people of Wangji.

The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world...... Hearing this, Ji Xiao was angry, and the country of Chu was also within the four seas, but was the country of Chu his?

The people of Wangji are already living a hard life, and if they are asked for food again, even the last bit of popular support will be lost in the Zhou room.

So Ji Xiao said: "Now that the autumn harvest has not arrived, the opportunity to collect grain has not yet arrived......

Ji Xiao wanted to refuse, but before he finished speaking, he heard Xiong Xian say: "Your Majesty should be the governor and obey the reason, not to mention...... Now that all the armies are waiting for the reply from the ministers, is Your Majesty going to disappoint hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are eagerly awaiting? ”

Of course, Ji Xiao didn't dare to disappoint these people, he felt particularly helpless at this time, and he had the same feeling as Wei Wuji's entry into Shangluo back then.

I only heard Xiong Xian continue: "The soldiers are ignorant, if they know that Your Majesty is not with grain and grass, they will inevitably be resentful, and I am afraid that they will lead to a mutiny!" ”

These words are a further threat, Ji Xiao has been forced to a dead end at this time, or can only take the path given by the people of Chu.

After a long time, I heard Ji Xiao say desperately on the throne: "What Qing said is reasonable, I will not let the soldiers chill, and I will deliver grain and grass within half a month!" ”

Xiong Xian smiled, and when he saw him, he saluted Ji Xiao on the Dan Fan and said, "Ministers, soldiers, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

…………

When Xiong Xian walked out of the palace gate, the two generals who accompanied him surrounded him, and one of them asked: "Why is the general so troublesome, if you want to send troops to grab the grain and grass, why do you have to grind your teeth with the Son of Heaven!" ”

After this person finished speaking, another general also followed: "What General Fan said is very true, the soldiers of the royal family are not to worry, why should the general worry!" ”

Xiong Xian saw that the two of them were not convinced, took two steps and stopped, and then turned back to the two of them: "Isn't it better for the Son of Heaven to personally send grain and grass to our military camp than for us to rob it?" ”

It's good, but this reason is not enough to convince these two generals who are asking questions!

Xiong Xian also knew this truth, so he continued: "Back then, Wei Wuji made trouble with Shangluo, and the royal prestige was swept away from the dust, and Jiuding was out of place, and the Zhou family was already on the verge of death......

"In this case, let the Son of Heaven go to that wicked man again and collect grain from his people, and it will not be our Chu State that the Zhou people hold a grudge again......"

"Once there is a change in Wangji, my Chu State will enter Shangluo and replace it...... There is also a lot less hostility! ”

Neither of them expected that Xiong Xian had already thought so far ahead at this time, and even the fall of the royal family had already begun to plan.

The surprise on the faces of the two generals under his command was caught in Xiong Xian's eyes, which made him feel helpless, not everyone thought so much as he did.

But Xiong Xian knew very well that even a big country like Qin, Qi and Wu would fall, and it was normal for the powerful Zhou Room to be swept away in the big waves that swept the world.

It's just that I don't know if the last one who can go ashore safely is the tiger in the north or the dragon of Chu State.
