Chapter 37: The New King of Chu
After listening to Changping Jun's words, a trace of ominous premonition surged in his heart, and he turned his face to look at his uncle Xiang Yan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info found that Xiang Yan seemed to be an old monk in a fixed place, kneeling there with his eyes closed. He didn't say a word, as if he was asleep.
"Changping-kun, you don't believe what you say!" The halberd pointed at Changping Jun, and it was too sudden to point at Changping Jun's hands and tremble a little.
"What do you have to say, and where does the letter come from? Could it be that you killed the queen mother and extinguished the family affection of flesh and blood also taught you by this monarch? Negative, Ben Jun never thought that you were such a person. Changping Jun put his hands behind his back, with the posture of an elder brother teaching a younger brother.
"You're ......!" The roots of his teeth itched with hatred, but there was no way to do it. He and Changpingjun had a secret meeting, and at that time, I was afraid that only people would know. The so-called words do not pass on six ears, and now Changping Jun does not admit it with both hands. There's no way to do it! Besides, those things can't be said in public.
"Humph! As a son of man, he killed his mother for the sake of unfilial piety! As an elder brother, it is unjust to kill his brother. As a courtier, he kills the king and rebels, which is disloyal. As a member of the royal family, it is unkind to make Yin Li Yuan's body be broken into thousands of pieces! You disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous guy, what kind of face do you have to live above the temple? I also want our scholars and doctors of Great Chu to continue to protect you as the king of Chu. Negative, the beauty you think. I'm Changpingjun, the first one is not convinced! At this moment, Changping Jun completely stood on the side of righteousness, and scolded the halberd.
I want to talk back, but people stand on the side of morality and etiquette. Now the body has not been cleaned up, and no matter how much argument is made, it is pale and weak. Moreover, these courtiers saw the whole rebellion with their own eyes. Now it's really hard for everyone to make them selectively blind. He could only point at Changpingjun, and said vigorously: "You ......!" You......! You......! I couldn't say a word about the rest.
Changpingjun didn't give him half a chance, and now the raw rice has been cooked rice. The two princes born to Empress Dowager Li, Xiong Huang died, and Xiong Yu also died. As long as he kills the negative man in front of him, the remaining son of King Kaoli is only Changping Jun. In other words, only Changpingjun is qualified to inherit the throne of King Chu.
"Although the minister is slight, he is also the grace of my great Chu king. Childe, you do this. Aren't you afraid that the world will poke you in the back? If you want to be the king, I Zhaoyang will not agree either. As soon as Changping Jun's words fell, Senior Doctor Zhaoyang stood up. Then the voices of seconding the proposal were endless, and in just a moment, more than a dozen scholars and doctors stood up. Although most are of lower rank, they are also a political force. It can be seen that Changping Jun returned to Chu for two years. I didn't do less work in private.
The scene immediately became chaotic, and he never expected Changping Jun to play with him. It was really the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches that used themselves to kill Li Yuan, Empress Dowager Li, and the young Xiong You. and then kill himself on the charge of killing the king, so that he can justifiably ascend to the throne. And with the aura of quelling the rebellion, he ascended to the throne. At that time, even if some people are not convinced, King Kaorik will have no other sons to stand upon.
I want those who have developed on their own to stand up and speak for themselves, but I can look at them a few times. The fellows didn't seem to be able to see, and they stood there one by one, as if they were statues. Everyone can see that the negative is over. Today, Changping Jun stands on justice and morality, and holds military power in his hands. No matter how bad the defeat is, I'm afraid it won't be able to turn the tables. Unless......!
"Uncle......!" There is really no way to be negative, and justice and righteousness are on the side of Changping Jun. No matter what he said, he was pale and powerless, and now he could only turn to Xiang Liang for help. Here are all Xiang Yan's soldiers, as long as Xiang Yan gives an order. Not to mention Changpingjun, even those scholars who stand up can be killed.
Xiang Yan didn't seem to hear it, and still knelt there and didn't speak. His eyes were closed, and he didn't know if he was remembering the first king or if he was really asleep. No matter how his nephew called, he just didn't open his eyes. I was in a hurry, but there was no way.
"Don't disturb General Xiang Yan to remember the first king. Today you are at the end of your rope, the kings of the Great Chu dynasties are above, and the ministers are below. Although I Changping was born in the Qin State, I am also the bloodline of King Xianlie. As the royal family of Chu, the elder brother of the Bearer. For the public, I am the Shouchun City Guard. For selfish reasons, I am a brother who bears the burden. Today, I, Changping, beheaded this disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial man, and used his blood to pay tribute to the king who had just died. Changping Jun waved his hand after speaking, and the tigers and wolves pounced.
Changping Jun played this hand, which was completely unexpected. Frightened, he hurriedly called the guards around him, but his guards only had dozens of people. The remaining thousands of soldiers are all Changping Jun's people. The forbidden army stood aside, still in a posture of not wanting to help. The form that he is facing now seems to be even worse than that of Li Yuangang.
The two groups of people who were still fighting side by side just now were torn apart in an instant, and the bow and crossbow could not function at all due to the close distance. It was a real gun-on-gun knife contest with blood trampled underfoot. Everyone was tearing and killing with blood, and the people under the command had no ability to resist at all in front of the wolf-like soldiers.
It's just a cup of tea, and the soldiers cut down the ground like chopping melons and vegetables. The people who fell to the ground were all torn apart by the halberd and the long ge. When there were only three or four people left around him, the blood-stained sword that he threw down. He knew that it was planted today, but he fantasized that Changping Jun had some aristocratic style. As long as you throw away the blade, you will be bypassed. Even if you are imprisoned for a lifetime, it is better than a random blade to dissect the corpse.
But he forgot that just now, when Li Yuan begged him to let go of the mother and son of King Chu You, what did he do. Changping Jun, like him, does not need the spirit of a nobleman, but has a clear goal of his life.
The soldiers didn't hesitate for even half a second, and rushed up like a swarm. The bearer who had laid down his blade and the guards stabbed him to the ground. The whole process, but the time for a stick of incense is over.
Chang Pingjun looked at the corpses in a mess and sniffed the strong smell of blood. The inheritance of rights has never been smooth sailing, and in these extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done.
"The noble character of the king of Changping is the bloodline of the first king of the martyrs, and now he has quelled the rebellion and avenged the king. The old minister proposed that Changping Jun succeed him as the king. Lead my Great Chu to face the Qin of the Tiger and Wolf, and protect my Great Chu Sect Temple! Changping Jun still felt that the nostalgia was over, and the lovely Zhaoyang stood up again.
"Minister! Seconded! What the senior doctor said is very true! "Recommending this kind of thing as a king will naturally not let Zhaoyang take advantage of it. What's more, there is only one candidate for the king now, Changpingjun. At this time, do not give the future leader an impression, but when! This kind of thing is also to be done sooner rather than later.
As soon as Zhaoyang took the lead, a group of sycophants immediately appeared. In the end, it's just a word. All the Chu scholars and doctors seconded Zhaoyang's motion, and it can be said that Changping Jun, who was standing in a pool of blood, had become the king of Chu.
The next thing is much simpler, pick a good day to pick up the auspicious day Changping Jun will be officially canonized as the king of Chu.
It wasn't until the end of the commotion that Xiang Yan opened his eyes. glanced at Changping Jun, and walked out of the palace of Chu with his son Xiang Liang. Everywhere they passed, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army bowed their heads to salute and pay respect. From beginning to end, Xiang Yan never said a word.
This kind of idol-type character needs to be respected, and Changping Jun naturally will not offend Xiang Yan. That night, he went to Xiang Yan's mansion with a generous gift to thank him. Today's matter, if there is no acquiescence to Xiang Yan, it may be himself who will be killed.
"Today's thing ......!"
"Don't say it, as long as you fulfill your original promise. Lead my Great Chu to fight against the tyrannical Qin, and don't let the Qin people destroy my temple and society. Even if the old man dies, he can face the ancestors of the Great Chu Dynasty and the ancestors of the Xiang family. Before Changping Jun's words were finished, Xiang Yan interrupted. It was impolite for him to interrupt others like this, especially since Changping Jun on the other side was already counted as half a king of Chu. This is an incredible behavior in the state of Chu, which pays attention to etiquette. However, today Xiang Yan completely stood on Changpingjun's side, which made Changpingjun have the last laugh. As the first person in the military, he is fully qualified to have an equal dialogue with Changpingjun.
"This is natural, although I Changping was born in the Qin State and grew up in the Qin State. But I am also the son of the first king and the descendant of Da Chu. I will definitely not let the great rivers and mountains of my Chu State fall into the hands of the Tiger and Wolf Qin. I have been the prime minister in Daqin, and the ambitions of the Qin people in the way of nature are boundless. Not only to unify China, but even to expand unlimitedly. Today's King Qin is even more tyrannical and harsh. If the great rivers and mountains of my Chu country fall into his hands, it is the people of Chu who suffer. My Great Chu is also a big country, although the plains are not as good as the Qin people. But my Chu country is full of water networks and small rivers, and the Qin people have come to the land of my Chu country ......! Changping categorically let them have no return! Changping Jun's face was compassionate, but the words he said were very appealing to Xiang Yan's appetite.
Xiang Yan is a standard soldier, and his thinking is all military thinking. Although Chu is a great vassal country, its military strength is not what Chu is good at. This has a lot to do with the atmosphere in the court of Chu, and the king often likes those literati who get poetry right. There is no generation of Chu kings who are as martial as the Qin people. The generals were not taken seriously, and the combat effectiveness of the Chu army was naturally not much higher. Even the small state of Wu back then captured the capital of the state of Chu. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the Chu army lacked great martial arts to demonstrate its status as a great power. Now there is a king of Chu who grew up in the Qin State, and he may be able to turn the atmosphere of the court around.
"Yes! It is worthy of growing up in the Qin State, and the words that come out are courageous. It's not like a negative slush, but only says something soft. I'm afraid that when I play against the Qin people, I will pee my pants. Tell me, what kind of charter do you have to deal with the Qin State. "Negative and weak, like other sons of the Chu State. The interest in poetry, literature, etiquette and music far exceeds that of dancing guns and sticks, which is the main reason why Xiang Yan gave up his negative duties and chose Changpingjun.
In fact, Changping Jun's strategy had already been told to Xiang Liang when he was in secret contact with Xiang Liang. And Xiang Liang also reported the ins and outs of the matter to Xiang Yanyu. Now that he asked, Xiang Yan just wanted to hear it from Changping Jun's mouth.
"The first step is to unite the cloud key in the northwest, and Yun Hou and I have had a good relationship when I was in Qin. Now the main force of the Qin people is being led by Meng Tian. Confront him in the northwest, as long as the cloud key is okay there. The Qin people won't be able to spare their hands to deal with my Da Chu! In the second step, my second brother Chang Wenjun and Empress Xiao are in Bashu. As long as the Bashu rebellion was instigated, Great Qin would lose its most important granary.
Over the years, in order to go out to fight. The Qin people recruited a large number of troops in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was already withering. Those who support the Qin people to fight down are just the granaries they own Bashu. If Bashu is not under the control of the Qin people, the food supply of the Qin army will have a big problem. When the time comes, I am afraid that the Qin people will have to reduce their troops. So that more young people can return to the fields and work so that they can produce more food.
Two days ago, there was a battle report that Daliang had been captured by Wang Ben. The king of Wei was pretended to be captured, and the state of Wei was finished. The Qin people also needed a lot of time and troops to manage the new territories they occupied. This makes Wang Jian Group not have much advantage over our Dachu. My opinion is to unite the Qi state and launch an attack on the Qin people. took advantage of the weakness of Wang Qian's soldiers to kill Wang Jian in one fell swoop. Let the situation of Great Qin in the east completely eroded, and now the rule of the Qin people in the Three Jin Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom is like a broken house. If you kick the door hard, the whole house will collapse.
Killing Wang Jian is equivalent to breaking off half of the two pincers of the Qin people. If the Qin people did not want to lose the newly occupied land in the east, they could only continue to recruit troops from Guanzhong. And this will further weaken the grain production, which Yunhou calls a vicious circle. If this plan is successful, not only will the Chu State be able to occupy a large area of the territory of the original Three Jin Dynasty. It can also greatly weaken the Qin people, make the Qin people retreat back to Guanzhong, and even take the opportunity to attack the Wuguan Hangu Pass and destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop. "Changping Jun is worthy of being the prime minister of the Qin State, and he knows very well the weakness of the Qin people. Xiang Yan nodded frequently, and what he said was good. As long as Wang Jian is defeated, the situation in the east of Great Qin will be eroded.
"But that Wang Jian is also a famous general of Great Qin, and it is not easy to deal with!" Xiang Yan looked at the complacent Changpingjun and frowned. It's a good thing that the commander is bloody, but it seems a little inappropriate to be so arrogant. Wang Jian crisscrossed six countries and was definitely not incompetent.
"Hahaha! No matter how powerful Wang Jian is, he only has 200,000 Qin troops under his command. Some of them also need to be dispersed in Korea, Yan, Wei, and Zhao. The people he really controls are only about 100,000 people, and I now have 500,000 people waiting for him. If there is another conscription, it will not be a problem to expand to 700,000. Does the old general think that if you fight one out of seven, you can't win? ”
