The king of Chu has been the supreme for nearly thirty years. How could he have thought that in his old age, he would be imprisoned in the Qin State. At this moment, the king of Chu no longer has the majesty of the king of a country, but is just an old man with gray hair and drooping old age. Suddenly, the door of Zhangtai Hall was pushed open, and the king of Chu mistakenly thought that it was the Qin people who came to persuade him to cede Qianzhong County and Wu County.

The king of Chu turned his back to the comer and said coldly: "You don't have to bother talking, the widow will not cede an inch of the mountains and rivers of the Chu State to you shameless Qin people." ”

After a long time, the visitor did not speak. When the king of Chu heard the sound of sobbing coming from behind him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The King of Chu slowly turned around and looked at the comer. Because the sunlight was too strong, he couldn't see the face of the comer clearly, but from the clothes and costumes of the comer, it could be inferred that he must be a Chu person.

Seeing that the king of Chu was much older, Qu Yuan sobbed: "The ministers are incompetent, and the king is humiliated. ”

When the king of Chu heard the familiar voice, he looked at the comer in a daze and asked, "The comer, but Qu Yuan." ”

Qu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Qu Yuan, see the king." ”

When the king of Chu heard the familiar voice and saw Qu Yuan's person, he was quite excited. He has been imprisoned by the Qin State until now, and this is the first time he has seen Chu Chen.

The king of Chu asked with tears in his eyes: "I am trapped in the Qin State, why didn't the Chu State send someone to welcome me back." ”

Qu Yuan replied: "The king is trapped in the Qin State, the Chu State has no leader, the government is chaotic, and there is no one to preside over the government of the Chu State. ”

"The widow is not here, and there is a prince?" King Chu seemed to remember something in his mind, and said ashamedly: "The widow forgot, Heng'er was sent to Qi by me." The widow repented and did not listen, and your words of loyalty have ended up in such a situation. You have worked hard during this time. ”

Qu Yuan saw that the king of Chu was already gone, and he sighed for a while.

The king of Chu was imprisoned here by the Qin people and did not see the light of day. The king of Chu has almost decided that in this life, he will never have the opportunity to return to the state of Chu. Now, Qu Yuan's arrival here has given him the hope of returning to China. But his hopes were soon shattered by Qu Yuan's words.

The king of Chu asked: "Qu Yuan is here to welcome the widow back to the country. ”

Qu Yuan said: "The king will not cede Qianzhong and Wu'er counties to Qin. The king of Qin will not send the king back to the country. ”

"The Qin people used despicable means to imprison the widows, and they still wanted the territory of the Chu State, which is simply a dream." The king of Chu said angrily: "The widow would rather die in the Qin State than cut off the territory to survive and humiliate the wisdom of the ancestors." ”

"The king is not afraid of the Qin people's obscenity, nor does he care about his personal safety, and he is unwilling to cut off half an inch of the mountains and rivers of the Chu State. The king did not insult the wisdom of his ancestors, did not insult his own name, and did not disgrace the state of Chu. Qu Yuan bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "The king's actions will definitely leave a name for eternity." ”

"Mountains and rivers were brought down by our ancestors with blood and tears. How can a widow bury the inheritance of his ancestors in order to survive? When the king of Chu saw that he had kept his wisdom and could return to the country, his eyes showed hope, and he laughed and said, "The widow can finally return to the country." ”

Qu Yuan couldn't bear to see the fiery eyes of the King of Chu and was silent.

The king of Chu asked, "Widow, when will you return to the country?" ”

Qu Yuan pleaded guiltily and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent. ”

These words came into the ears of the King of Chu, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and instantly fell to the bottom, "The King of Qin did not promise to send me home." You didn't come to Qin to welcome the widow. ”

"Minister, this time I came to Qin, it is true that I am not here to welcome the return of the king. The king of Qin also did not plan to send the king back to the country. The incompetence of the ministers made the king humiliated. ”

"How can you be blamed for the widow's own suffering." The King of Chu pretended to be relaxed and asked, "How is the Chu State now?" ”

"The minister went to Qi to welcome back the crown prince and set up a new king."

"Qu Yuan, what are you talking about. The state of Chu set up a new king. This news dealt a severe blow to the king of Chu, and he asked, "Why do you turn your back on the widow." ”

"The king is trapped in Qin, and the prince is hostage to Qi. The state of Chu has no owner, and it is difficult to unite the people. The alliance of princes attacked the state of Chu, and Chu will die. For the sake of the mountains and rivers of the Chu country, for the sake of the temple and the society, it can only be so. ”

"Even so, if the widow is still there, how can he appoint a new king?" The king of Chu was stunned, and asked, "The widow is not guilty, how can you abandon me." ”

Qu Yuan had already expected that the King of Chu would be furious when he heard the news. However, for the sake of Zongmiao Sheji and the mountains and rivers of Chu State, he would rather lose the King of Chu. Qu Yuan saw that the king was angry, and he didn't answer. The wrath of the king of Chu, he went to bear it alone.

King Chu, how can he not understand. Why did the ministers turn their backs on him, and why did the people of Chu abandon him. It's just that when he suddenly heard that the state of Chu had set up a new king, the king of Chu felt that he was abandoned, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

After the king of Chu scolded angrily, he calmed down and looked at Qu Yuan, who had been silent, "Qu Yuan, the widow doesn't blame you." The widow has fallen into such a field, and he has no resentment against others. ”

Qu Yuan didn't expect the King of Chu to be so aware of the righteousness, and said guiltily: "Minister, it is a big crime to support the crown prince as the king without authorization. ”

"You are also here to continue the temple of the Chu State and keep the mountains and rivers of the Chu State." After the king of Chu vented for a while, the whole person felt a lot more comfortable, and he also figured out a lot of things, "The widow broke his trust and put the Chu country in danger." The widow is not worthy to be the king of Chu. ”

"The incompetence of the ministers allowed the king to be trapped in another country and humiliated."

"Qu Yuan, you guys did a good job." The hatred in the eyes of the King of Chu has long faded, "The widow is trapped in Qin, and the prince is confronted in Qi." Chu's domestic and diplomatic difficulties, and there is no major chaos, all of which are your work. You have kept the temple for the widow, and you have kept the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. Although you have lost the widow, you have not lived up to the Chu State. Qu Yuan, the widow doesn't hate you. ”

"The state of Chu has set up a new king, and the king is no longer useful to the state of Qin. The king of Qin held the king hostage, and he could not blackmail the state of Chu. Qu Yuan said again: "Minister, I wanted to welcome the king back to the country through diplomatic channels with my own strength. The King of Qin coveted the territory of Chu and was bound to win. The King of Qin had a tough attitude, and his ministers were powerless. ”

"There is a new king in the state of Chu, and it doesn't matter if the widow can't go back or not." Seeing Qu Yuan's puzzled expression, the King of Chu continued: "The Qin State used improper means to imprison the widow. The widow wants the Qin State to be notorious and notorious. The widow wanted the Qin State to be treacherous and spread it all over the princes. The widow had to wait until the princes attacked Qin and destroyed the Qin state with their own hands. ”

"The king gambled with his own life to let the princes cut down Qin and kill Qin."

"Not bad. That's what the widow wants. The princes did not cut down Qin and died Qin. Even if the widow can return, he will not return. King Chu's eyes were firm, and his tone was clear, "There is a new king in the state of Chu, and you loyal and courageous courtiers, the widow is relieved." ”

"Isn't the king's plan too risky?"

"More than ten years ago, the soldiers of Chu State went to Lantian. The widow regretted that he failed to settle the battle with the Qin State. If King Wu of Qin does not die, the princes will attack Qin and kill Qin. King Chu Huai choked his wrist and said: "If Qin does not die, how can the widow swallow this evil breath." ”

"Why did the king conclude that the princes would unite to defeat Qin and destroy Qin?"

"The widow was imprisoned in Qin, and Chu and Chu were at odds. The state of Qin was notorious and spread throughout the princes. Qin's actions will not be tolerated by the princes. The King of Chu snorted coldly and said: "Qi people Jing Guojun entered Qin as the prime minister, and suffered all kinds of humiliation in the Qin State. Jing Guojun returned to the country, and if he didn't attack Qin Xue, he would be a big husband. ”

Qu Yuan saw that the king was trapped in the Qin State, but he could see the development of the situation clearly. It turned out that the heart of the king of Chu had not decayed, nor had he grown old.

"Did the king think about it?" Qu Yuan paused, and then said: "What will happen if the princes don't cut down Qin and kill Qin." ”

The King of Chu looked pitiful and said, "Heaven doesn't help me, help Qin!" ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he shushed and shushed, the death of Qin Xue was not only the mission of the King of Chu, but also the mission of every aspiring man of the Chu Kingdom. Only by dying Qin can the shame of the Qin people against the Chu people be washed away.

Today, Qin and Chu are at odds. Qi called on the princes of Han and Wei to attack Qin, and Zhao's attitude was unclear, but he did not say that he would not join the alliance.

Qi, Chu, Han, Wei, and Zhao He attacked Qin and once again marched to Hangu. If the Qin State does not die, it will also suffer a great loss of national strength. The territory of Qin will also be carved up by the princes of the Central Plains. Qi and Chu attacked Qin, and Qin was no longer an opponent. Coupled with the Three Jin Dynasty, if you can't kill Qin, you can only say that the sky doesn't help Chu, help Qin!

Qu Yuan couldn't bear the sadness of the King of Chu, and hurriedly said: "What the king said is good, Jing Guojun returned to the country and called on the princes to attack Qin." The ministers welcomed the prince's return to the country, and the state of Qi also invited the state of Chu to join. ”

"Great." The king of Chu was overjoyed and said: "If our country joins the princes to attack Qin, Qin will die." If you can die Qin, it's a shame! ”

"When the minister returns to China, he will definitely join the princes and crusade against the Qin State. When the horse stepped on Xianyang, it was the day to welcome the king's return. "Shame on the death of Qin Xue, how inspiring these four words are. When Qu Yuan heard this, his blood was bursting and his expression was agitated, "Please stay in Qin for the time being, and be a little more wronged." The minister must step through Xianyang and die in shame. ”

"As long as Qin can be killed, it is worth it no matter how much grievances the widow suffers." The king of Chu instructed: "The widow is waiting for the arrival of the army of Chu in Xianyang. ”

Qu Yuan solemnly bowed to the King of Chu, took the hope of the King of Chu's death and the long-cherished wish of revitalizing the mountains and rivers of the Chu State, left Zhangtai, and embarked on the journey home. Qu Yuan believed that he would soon raise troops to attack Qin and set foot on Xianyang. The day of the death of Qin is the time of shame.

……

The state of Chu set up a new king, and the king of Chu was already a useless person to the state of Qin. King Qin originally thought that this time he would lose a defeat in this confrontation with the Chu State. However, Shou Zhu, Lu Li and other Qin ministers persuaded the king of Qin with the idea that there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. These eight words made King Qin see hope again. King Qin was young and vigorous, so he was naturally unwilling to fail. Therefore, he convened the ministers to discuss the matter of cutting down Chu.

King Qin had a plan in his heart, if Qin did not attack Chu, Chu would attack Qin. Although the state of Chu established a new king, the situation was unstable. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new king of Chu had not yet established his authority and strike first. Only by defeating Chu again can the status of Qin be improved. Of course? The king of Chu ridiculed him that he could not seize the territory of Chu by force. Today, he used force to defeat the Chu people. In this way, it tells the Chu people that the Qin State is not afraid.

Since the king of Chu was unwilling to divide the territory, he used force to take it.

The state of Qin defeated the state of Chu three times, and its morale was greatly boosted. The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State had already geared up and wanted to teach the Chu State a lesson again. The state of Chu has bullied the state of Qin for a long time, and it has oppressed the state of Qin to breathe. As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. The State of Qin has the ability to bully the State of Chu, so how can it stop there.

The courtiers of the Qin State echoed and advocated attacking Chu. All the ministers said: "The Chu people don't know the height of the sky, so we will teach them a lesson." ”

When the king of Qin saw that all his ministers advocated the invasion of Chu, his confidence doubled, and he took Mi Rong as his general and raised 100,000 troops to attack Chu. This attack on Chu is not only to seize the territory of Chu. At the same time, it is also to tell the Chu people that the era that belongs to the Chu people is gone forever.

The news of Qin's dispatch of troops soon spread to Yingdu.

As soon as Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, succeeded to the throne, the state of Qin sent troops. This is also a severe test for the new King of Chu. Victorious, his position is unbreakable. If you lose, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The king of Xinchu convened his ministers in the main hall to discuss and asked, "The Qin State sent troops to attack me, what can I do?" ”

Zhao Ju said sharply: "Fight." ”

Zilan asked: "The vitality of the Chu State is greatly injured, why do you fight." ”

Qu Yuan said sharply: "Shame on the death of Qin, fight for the country." ”

Doctor Shangguan asked: "The national strength of the Chu State has been greatly damaged, and the treasury has been greatly consumed, so why should we fight." ”

Xiong Biao of Shangzhu State also said: "It is a great shame for the king to be trapped in the Qin State. Shame for the country, it is the blood color of my big Chu man. If you don't fight, won't you make the whole world laugh at you? The Qin people deceived me too much, how could I not fight. ”

Jin Shang said coldly: "The state of Chu can't withstand the big war, and it is still the main peace." ”

Qu Yuan shouted angrily: "How can you ignore the national shame. Whoever dares to speak out and seek peace is not worthy of being a man of Chu State. ”

The king of New Chu was supported by Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan. Naturally, there will be many people who are not convinced. This time, the Qin people attacked Chu, and with the support of Zhao Ju, Xiong Biao, Qu Yuan and other main battle factions, they became an overwhelming advantage. Seeing this, the king of Xin Chu asked, "Who will be the general to meet the Qin people?" ”

The palace of Chu is full of high-ranking military generals, you look at me, I look at you, each with a ghost.

What these people are thinking, how can Zhao Ju not know. It's not that the state of Chu can't fight, it's that these people don't want to fight for the state of Chu. These people are calculating and do not contribute to the country. These high-ranking generals in the DPRK and China are reluctant to fight in order to preserve their strength. Even, some people are looking forward to the defeat of the Chu State. In this way, they can take advantage of this defeat to make a big fuss and expel Qu Yuan and Zhaoju.

Although Qu Yuan, Xiong Biao and others are the main battle. However, in the battle of Danyang, the Qu boy was wiped out and collapsed. In the battle of weeping sand, Tang Yu died in battle, and the division of Shen Xi was mourned. Chongqiu fought several battles, Jing Cui was defeated, Jing Que died in battle, and Jing's boy was fortunate. In order to preserve their strength, the generals were afraid of the Qin people.

People who can fight and have appeal are not afraid of the Qin people. It is not the Zhao boy under the command of Yin Zhaoju. However, the Zhao clan is the most critical army to stabilize the situation. The king of Chu was imprisoned, the crown prince was hostage to Qi, and the state of Chu was not in chaos, this is because this army turned the tide.

Zhao Ju also knew that this army left Yingdu and went to meet the Qin people. If you win, people with ulterior motives will naturally not dare to make trouble; Defeat, the consequences of the trigger, dare not imagine. Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan no longer have the ability to check and balance, and Yingdu has multiple and complex forces. However, at the moment of national crisis, they cannot afford to think too much.

Zhao Ju weighed the pros and cons and said, "Minister, I am willing to go." ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Ling Yin." ”

Zhao Ju knew what he wanted to express, and cut off: "Zuo Situ don't worry. I have attacked Han and Wei, died in Yue, quelled the rebellion, and had a great record of success, so that I can be ranked in Lingyin. The Qin people came to attack, as a great Chu man, how could he not fight on the battlefield to repay his family and country. ”

Qu Yuan also understood that only Ling Yin was the most suitable and reliable person at the moment, and saluted: "Please leave everything to Ling Yin." ”

Zhao Ju raised his arms and shouted: "Shame on the death of Qin Xue to defend the country." ”
