Before it was dark, Ying Ji came to Yingsi's temporary dormitory and asked the waiter, "Is the king sleeping peacefully?" ”

The waiter bowed and replied, "The king has worked all day and has just fallen asleep." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked into the palace, and the lights in the palace were looming. Since the king had just fallen asleep, he was inconvenient to disturb, so he bowed down and said, "I'm tired." With that, Ying Ji was about to turn around and leave. A calm voice came from the palace, "Win the disease, are you here?" "The five countries jointly attacked Qin, the five countries won, and the Qin country is in danger. Ying Si faced the national disaster and was anxious day and night. Zhang Yi said that for the sake of Qin Guo, Yan Guo, how could he sleep peacefully.

"Don't leave if you come." Yingsi's voice came from the palace, "Come in and sit with the widow." ”

Win said: "No." ”

The door of the underground palace was closed and opened. Ying Ji walked in, and the palace door closed again. The lights in the palace were all lit up. Ying bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, you haven't closed your eyes all night." ”

"When the national disaster is at hand, how can the widow sleep peacefully." Ying Si rubbed the corners of her eyes, raised her head to look at the other party, and her voice was a little tired, "You came to see the widow late at night." Could it be that Zhang Yiyou said that there was news from Yan Kingdom. ”

Ying Ji nodded.

Ying Si had never seen half a point of joy on Ying Ji's face, and seemed to have guessed that Zhang Yi had said that Yan Guo had failed. Zhang Yi herself became a prisoner of the Yan army. Perhaps, as soon as the sky dawned, Zhang Yi's head was used by the Five-Nation Alliance Army to sacrifice the flag and demonstrate. Thinking of this, Yingsi exhaled a breath of cold air wistfully.

Seeing that the clouds were covered with sorrow on the king's forehead, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yan Guo has withdrawn." ”

"What." Ying Si's eyes were filled with tears, and a smile instantly appeared on her cheeks, "Zhang Yiyou said Yan Guo, it was successful." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister learned from the scouts that the Yan Kingdom withdrew its troops overnight. The big tent of the Yan army was empty. ”

Ying Si finally looked forward to the good news, and said in high spirits: "Zhang Yi is worthy of being a disciple of the Zongheng family. ”

"Isn't it?" Ying Ji answered: "Zhang Yi disregarded his own safety and went to Yanguo to say, with a clever mouth. It not only persuaded the Yan State to retreat, but also resolved the disadvantages of our country. The Yan State retreated, and the morale of the coalition forces would definitely be dealt a heavy blow. Wang, Yan Guo retreated, and Zhang Yi was a great hero of our country. Zhang Yi's mouth is too powerful, worthy of thousands of troops. I used to think that going to the battlefield to fight the enemy was the only way to show the true character of a good man. At this moment, I realized that what Zhang Yi did did not lose her identity as a husband. Your Majesty, Zhang Yi has returned, and he will be rewarded. ”

"Hahaha." Ying Sile said: "How do you think the widow should reward him?" ”

Win Ji smiled and said: "Zhang Yi is an immortal talent, and he married an ugly woman. It's too vulgar for us to give him beauties and possessions. ”

Yingsi corrected: "It's not that Zhang Yi doesn't cherish beauties and property, but there is a tiger in the family, and he can't afford to offend!" ”

The tigress in Zhang Yi's house is indeed too terrifying, and anyone dares to bite it. Zhang Yi is in a high hall and has a prominent status, but she doesn't dare to say a word to the tigress at home. Ying Si smiled meaningfully and sighed, "It's good to have a tigress in charge. ”

"Zhang Yi often says that he is a snob, in my opinion! He's also a big husband. The dignified seven-foot man turned out to be a master who was afraid of his wife. Alas, failure, failure! Ying Ji couldn't help but laugh cheerfully.

"Don't make fun of people." Ying Si couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What is the king going to reward Zhang Yi?"

"Women are confidants, and men are confidants." Ying Si Zhengse said: "Zhang Yi's wish in life is to become famous and famous all over the world." The ambition of the widow is to send out the Han Valley, submit to the Three Jins, suppress the Chu State, compete with the Qi State for the world, and become the prince and uncle. ”

"What does the king mean..."

"That's right." Yingsi said solemnly: "What Zhang Yi wants is fame and fortune." The widow gave him a stage to show what he had learned in his life. ”

For the Ming Lord, if he wants to establish immortal feats and a thousand years of inheritance, he needs to be virtuous and virtuous to fight for the world. For talented people, only by choosing the master can they display what they have learned in their lives and realize the great ambitions in their chests. Talent is not met, ambition is difficult to reward for a person with great talent, how lonely and sad.

Ying Ji asked: "Your Majesty, Yan Guo has retreated, what should we do next." ”

Ying Si walked to the military terrain where the soil was piled up, pointed to the distribution of the Five Nations Alliance, and the corners of his lips showed a long-lost smile, "The Five Nations Alliance has attacked our Hangu so far, we have held back for so long, it's time to take back the shame imposed on us by the Alliance Army." ”

Win Ji asked, "Your Majesty, are you ready to go to war against the coalition forces?" ”

"Not bad." Ying Si said domineeringly: "Go to war." ”

Gongsun Yan sat in the big tent and summoned the generals of Han, Zhaoyan, and the three kingdoms to discuss how to deal with the next situation. Zhao general Zhao Xie and Han general Han Peng have all arrived. However, Yan General Ji Ping was nowhere to be seen. When the news of Yan Guo's withdrawal reached everyone's ears, Gongsun Yan was so angry that his beard trembled.

The anger of the people did not subside, and soon they got the second bad news, and the state of Chu also withdrew its troops.

It turned out that Zhang Yi said that Yan Guo was a powerful relation, and Yan General Ji Ping was young after all and easy to fool. But the situation in the Chu and Yan states is different. Qin and Chu have been founded for hundreds of years, and the two countries are also one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Chu and Qin had both strife and cooperation. King Chuping was once a successful monarch, but in his later years, he was greedy for women and reused his ministers, first forcibly seizing the Qin daughter that his son married, and then listening to slander and killing the prince and the prince Wu Hao. Wu Zixu saw that his father and brother died at the hands of King Chuping, and vowed to level the Chu State and avenge his father and brother.

Wu Zixu fled to Wu State, helped Wu Guogongguang ascend the throne, and offered a plan to disturb Chu and fatigue.

King Wu Lu took Wu Zixu and Sun Wu as generals to crusade against the state of Chu. Wu won consecutive battles, defeated the Chu army, and broke through Yingdu, the capital of Chu State. The state of Wu set a precedent for breaking through the country of ten thousand vehicles. Wu Zixu whipped the corpse of King Chuping, and was able to avenge his father and brother. If it weren't for the Qin State sending troops to save Chu, the Chu State would have perished.

Today's Chu is not the Chu of the day. The friendship between Chu and Qin will not last long.

For the sake of its own interests, the Qin State used the national power to bully the Chu State. After several generations of hard work, the state of Chu became a great power in the south, and naturally it was unwilling to be suppressed by the state of Qin. The state of Chu sent troops to Hangu to attack Qin, which was the time when the contradictions between Qin and Chu reached the point where they had to be resolved by force. After careful consideration, Zhang Yi thought of a plan, that is, to say that the Chu State would not only come softly, but also use force to persecute them. Only by using both soft and hard can we persuade Chu to withdraw its troops.

Qin and Chu were at war, and the allied forces of Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan watched from the sidelines, and Chu saw that the situation was unfavorable and ordered the withdrawal of troops. Chu General Zhaoyang returned to the camp tent and saw that the coalition army was watching the fire from the other side in order to preserve its strength, and he also made sarcastic remarks, and his heart was full of anger. The Chu army was also full of anger. The Chu army fought regardless of life and death, but this battle was too unremarkable. Qin sent 20,000 people to join the battlefield to attack Chu, and if the alliance of Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan could send tens of thousands of people to join the battlefield, the breakthrough of Hangu would be just around the corner.

Zhaoyang was venting the anger in his heart in the tent. Suddenly, someone came to report that someone from the Qin State was coming.

As soon as Zhaoyang heard the word Qin Guo, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He wanted to hear what the Qin envoy would say, and said to the comer, "Call him in." ”

Qin envoy Zhang Yi walked into the big tent of Chu and asked, "Where is General Zhaoyang?" ”

General Chu said angrily: "Bold, who dares to be so presumptuous." When I saw my general, why didn't you kneel. ”

Zhang Yi said contemptuously: "I am an envoy of Qin, and I don't kneel when I see the king of Chu, how can I kneel to a general." ”

Zhaoyang threatened: "Shaft, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Life has been in the world for decades." Zhang Yi said indifferently: "It is better to die vigorously than to live with a bang." ”

"Okay, guts." Zhaoyang picked up a bottle of Chu wine, "I'm willing to deal with people with guts." As a Qin envoy, why did you come to my Chu army's tent? Could it be that Qin Guoli was unable to do so, and he sent you to persuade me to withdraw from the army. If so, you still don't have to open your mouth. The states of Qin and Chu will only fight to the end. ”

"The state of Qin and the state of Chu are at war, what benefits can the state of Chu get, and what benefits can the general get." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The Chu State and the Qin State will fight to the end, and they will only lose both." The Three Jin and Qi States will reap the benefits. If the state of Chu is injured, it is not the opponent of the three Jin and the state of Qi. General, you really want to break the net with Qin Guoyu. ”

Zhaoyang picked up the wine bottle, grunted, and drank it all, "Don't talk nonsense, you go back and tell Yingsi Lao'er." If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will not have to talk about it. The eldest husband is only in the field, and he competes. Zhang Yi, Rodent Sang Alliance, you didn't say that you want to fight with my Chu State for the world. Didn't you say that the sword of the Qin State was invincible in the world? I want to see if it's the sharpness of your Qin people's sword or the sharpness of my Chu country's sword. ”

"It was just my wild words that day, and it's been some time since then. General, still in mind. Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The general led the Chu army to fight against the Qin army. Which of the swords of the Qin people or the Chu people is sharper, the general must have already known in his heart. ”

"The Qin State is just relying on the fact that there are many people." Zhaoyang snorted and said, "Zhang Yi, you're here to laugh at me." ”

"I'm here for the general." Zhang Yi stared at Zhaoyang's tiger eyes, not afraid, "The national law of the Chu State, the general will not forget it!" ”

The ancestor of the Chu State, Mane Xiong, was the teacher of Xibo Hou Jichang. After the death of Xibohou Jichang, his son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne. Ji Fa worked hard, with Jiang Shang as his military advisor, went out of Xiqi, and sent a song to the army. In the first battle of Muye, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the capital was Hojing, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was established. Although King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang State, the land area of the Shang State was too large, and the princes loyal to the Shang State still existed. In order to defend the defeated country, Ji Fa wantonly divided the princes. However, King Wu of Zhou forgot about his father's teacher, Mane Xiong.

It wasn't until King Zhou Cheng grew up that he remembered the merits of the bear. King Zhou Cheng pointed to a barren land in the south, and gave it to his great-grandson Xiong Yi, gave him a viscount, and gave him a fief in Jingman. Chu Zixiong Yi took Danyang as the national capital, covering an area of fifty miles, and became the founding monarch of Chu State. The state of Chu began, with a blue road to open up the mountains and forests, and a difficult entrepreneurial process.

In order to get the approval of the king of Zhou, the state of Chu vigorously expanded its territory, wrote to the king of Zhou, and raised the title. However, the king of Zhou ridiculed the state of Chu for ignoring the southern barbarians, and the princes of the Central Plains also despised it. After several generations of efforts, the state of Chu simply established itself as the king and fought against the king of Zhou. For the sake of his own face, the king of Zhou called on the vassal states to jointly crusade against the state of Chu. Not only did the state of Chu not give in, but instead declared war on the princes of the world, defeating the elite of the king of Zhou. The state of Chu not only established itself as king, but also sent troops to conquer the Central Plains.

The founding of the state of Chu was within a radius of fifty miles. After several generations of efforts, it became a great power in the South. One of them, in addition to the Chu people's courage and good fighting, there is also one of the most important factors, that is, the Chu country has a tradition... The law of Chu is to overthrow the army and kill the generals. If the battle is lost, the Lord will have an unshirkable responsibility and must commit suicide to thank his countrymen.

The king of Chu set this rule for his courtiers, firstly, in order to establish the supreme authority of the king. The second is to exert an invisible pressure on the courtiers. Third, it is conducive to encouraging the courage of generals to fight, which is conducive to external expansion.

In the battle of Chengpu, Yin Ziyu of Chu committed suicide on the way home due to the defeat of the army.

"The law of Chu State, the defeated die." As the main general, Zhaoyang naturally will not forget the national law of his country, and said angrily: "Zhang Yi, take care of your mouth." ”

Zhang Yi said indifferently: "The general is the commander of the state of Chu, under the king of Chu, the head of the hundred officials, and the most extremely minister. General, you are really willing to leave behind everything you have gained with your military exploits. Zhang Yi felt that it was not a wise move for the general to unite with Han Zhao and Wei Yan to attack Qin. General, you forgot, the Chu army fought with the Qin army. And what did the other four-nation coalition forces do. ”

Seeing that Zhaoyang was moved, Zhang Yi must have listened to what he said, and continued: "The general led his troops to capture Xiangcheng and take the eight cities of Wei, washing away the shame of Jingshan imposed by the Wei people. The general also became famous in the first war, and the king of Chu was named Ling Yin. The general occupies the position of Ling Yin, does he feel like a thorn in the mang. The general's attack on Qin is unfavorable, and he has lost too many soldiers of the Chu State, and what will happen to him after returning to the country. Zhang Yi suggested that the two countries of Qin and Chu were at war, regardless of victory or defeat, and the generals were still wise, so it was better to withdraw the army. ”

Zhaoyang has fallen into a dilemma, whether to withdraw or not to retreat is related to his future prestige, and he does not dare to make a rash decision. If he could get out of the way, he would not bear the name of defeat. At this moment, a general of the Chu army hurriedly walked in and whispered in Zhaoyang's ear. When Zhaoyang heard this, his pupils widened. It turned out that Zhang Yi came to the Chu army's tent at the same time. The Qin general Sima Coo led the Qin army to attack the rear of the Chu State, and the grain and grass of the Chu people were burned. The grain and grass of the Chu State have been cut off, and the army's morale is unstable.

Zhaoyang has realized that the situation is not in his favor. However, the state of Chu, as the commander of the joint column, ordered the withdrawal of the army, how to explain to the princes of the Central Plains.

Zhang Yi seemed to have insight into his intentions, "General, Yan Guo has withdrawn its troops. ”

The Yan State took the lead in withdrawing its troops, so the Chu State did not have to bear the oath of the former stage. Zhaoyang thought twice, accepted Zhang Yi's conditions, and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Yan and Chu withdrew their troops at the same time, and Han, Zhao, and Wei Sanjin stood on the opposite side of Qin. Seeing that he couldn't win, Han Peng said: "General Gongsun, the general trend has gone, let's withdraw our troops too!" ”

Zhao Xie looked up to the sky and sighed: "This is a great time to destroy Qin. What a pity! Pity. ”

Han Peng said: "He will regroup in the future, and we are in the valley of the soldiers." ”

"Hahahaha." Gongsun Yan laughed miserably: "It's a pity! Pity. ”

Gongsun Yanyou said that the princes attacked Qin, and they had been planning for so long, and they ended up with such a result, and his heart was like ice.

Han Peng comforted: "The rhino head doesn't have to be disheartened, we will come back." ”

"It's hard! It's hard! ”

Zhao Xie asked, "Rhino Head, what should we do, retreat?" ”

"Can't be withdrawn." Gongsun Yan regained his expression and said loudly: "As soon as we retreat, the Qin people will fight back wildly." Only by fighting the Qin people can we maintain our vitality by fighting a battle with the Qin people to show the strength of our Three Jins. ”

Han Peng and Zhao Xie didn't want to return to China like this, so they said in unison: "Then start a war with the Qin people." ”
