After that, Bai Gongsheng and Shi Qi went outside to greet Zheji in person, Zheji saw Bai Gongsheng come out to greet him in person, and he was a little flattered while being proud, but he did not forget the purpose of his visit this time. Zheji saluted Bai Gongsheng Shi Ran and said: "Foreign minister Zheji, I have seen the King of Chu!" ”

"Excuse me!" Bai Gongsheng hurriedly picked up Zheji and asked, "I don't know why the doctor found the widow at this time?" ”

Zheji is not polite, and there is no time for him to be polite at this time. Zheji got straight to the point and said: "King, Zheji won't talk nonsense!" When our lord was on the throne, he confessed to Zheji, and our Han State would only regard the king as the orthodoxy of the Chu State. At the same time, I am willing to accept the king! And if the king can clean up the remnants of the defeated soldiers along the way, and then with the help of our Han army, occupy the eastern half of the Chu State, and then slowly figure it out! It's not impossible! ”

When Bai Gongsheng heard this, he sighed and said: "The widow has fallen to this extent now, and I can't imagine that the Han Kingdom also supports the widow!" It's really a widow who doesn't know how to repay in the future! ”

"King, now is not the time to talk about this, it's not early, please set off quickly!" Zheji did not pick up the topic of Bai Gongsheng, but avoided talking about it.

However, it is indeed not early at this time, and Ye Gong's army has already reached the point where it is not far from here. Bai Gongsheng didn't dare to say more, and immediately changed into a military uniform, and broke through from the east gate with a hundred military vehicles and three thousand elite soldiers. Although Ye Gongsheng was prepared, Bai Gongsheng was not a vegetarian, and he raised more dead soldiers under his command. And the soldiers brought by Ye Gong were mixed, and many people saw that they should be desperate, and they were immediately frightened to get out of the way. Let Bai Gongsheng quickly rush to the dock.

The dock was densely packed with warships, some of which were taken by Bai Gongsheng's army, and many of which were taken by Ye Gongsheng's army. However, no matter who it was, Ye Gong did not have many soldiers and horses left at the dock, and Bai Gongsheng easily killed the Qin Wang army who stayed at the dock. He gave up some of the military vehicles that he could not take away, took the soldiers and got on the boats instead, and set off eastward along the Yangtze River.

When Ye Gongsheng learned the news of Bai Gongsheng's breakthrough, he was naturally unwilling, and immediately took people to chase Bai Gongsheng in person. But Bai Gongsheng was very decisive and ruthless, although he was running away, Bai Gongsheng did not forget to burn all the boats he couldn't use.

Ye Gong rushed to the dock with his pursuers, only to see a boat division burning in the flames. Ye Gong couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he couldn't find a boat master to chase Bai Gongsheng for a while. In addition, Ye Gong had just driven away Bai Gongsheng, and there were still many things to do in the Chu State, so Ye Gong had no choice but to let Bai Gongsheng go for the time being, and returned to Zaiying with soldiers and horses to calm people's hearts.

After Ye Gong returned to Zaiying, it didn't take long for a doctor to bring over the hiding King of Chu Zhao, although Ye Gong had more than one-third of the soldiers and horses of the current Chu State, but he relied on the user Chu Hui King to get the support of so many soldiers, and it was naturally impossible for him not to support the King of Chu Hui as the monarch of Chu State.

After some politeness, Bai Gongsheng sent King Chu Hui back to the palace, and King Chu Hui also knew that he was temporarily unable to control the country, so he asked Ye Gong to discuss that night. Tell Ye Gong that King Hui of Chu is ready to appoint him as Ling Yin and Da Sima, which is also the first time that such a situation has occurred in the state of Chu.

Even if it was the Ruo Ao clan, who was once the first noble family in the Chu State, it was just the same clan who served as Ling Yin and Da Sima. Ye Gong was naturally flattered, and hurriedly shirked to King Chu Hui: "King, how can this matter be? There has never been such a minister in the Chu State, and the minister cannot afford to take on this important responsibility. ”

In fact, how could King Chu Hui be willing to let Ye Gong hold such a big power? It can be said that with such great power, even if Ye Gongsheng rebels, he has a greater chance of success than Bai Gongsheng. But although King Chu Hui didn't have much ability, he also knew that if it weren't for Ye Gong in power, with his ability and prestige, he might not be able to stabilize the Chu State in a short period of time.

At the same time, the current world is not peaceful, although Zhao Ying, the iron-blooded ruler of the Jin State, has passed away, it does not mean that the newly appointed Zhiyao is willing to do nothing. Zhi Yao didn't make any moves now, that was because now that the old courtiers of the Jin State were dead, and the newly appointed secretary was tender, so he didn't interfere in the affairs of the Chu State. Once the Chu State is unable to settle down in a short period of time, the Jin State will definitely intervene.

In addition, in the east, the Han State rose at an unimaginable speed, and it was impossible to say that the Han State did not want to take advantage of the instability of the Chu State to cut off a piece of meat on the Chu State.

Because of this, King Chu Hui suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and persuaded him rationally: "Ye Gong, now that the Chu State has just encountered a great disaster, it is precisely necessary for Ye Gong to come to the stable country." Ye Gong, why are you unwilling to contribute your ability to the Chu State? ”

Ye Gong saw that King Chu Hui said so, so he could only agree. "The king has said so, and the minister can only agree, but the minister has a condition here, if the king does not agree! The minister will not accept the appointment of the king! ”

When King Chu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied, how much power has the widow given you, you still have to put forward conditions, do you also want to learn from Bai Gongsheng? But after King Chu Hui went through the rebellion of Bai Gong, he had a little more city government, and asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know what Ye Gong wants?" The widow must say yes! ”

(Note: Although Ye Gong is not as victorious as Bai Gong, and he is also a Shen, he strictly speaking, belongs to the royal family.) He is the great-great-grandson of King Chuzhuang, one of the famous Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. In other words, Ye Gong's grandfather is the grandson of King Chuzhuang. Who is Ye Gong? Although King Chu Hui asked himself whether his face did not change, according to Ye Gong, he still sensed a little bit of King Chu Hui's thoughts. He said: "Great King, although the minister is from the royal family, he has already left the royal family. And the Taizu of the minister (the son of the king of Chuzhuang) is a concubine. The king, please believe in the ministers, otherwise the ministers might as well lead the troops to Yeyi now. ”

King Chu Hui smiled wryly and disguised, "How could the widow not believe Ye Gong? Otherwise, how could Ye Gong not be given a heavy responsibility! Ye Gong, you think too much! ”

When Ye Gong heard this, he smiled, and did not continue to delve into this topic, the king's face still has to be scrupulous. And Ye Gong also knew that what he said just now had made the King of Chu understand that he had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and believed that if he said his own conditions, he would be able to make peace with the monarch and the ministers in the future.

Ye Gong continued: "The condition mentioned by the minister just now is actually that the king can appoint Ziguo as Zuo Yin, Zikuan as Zuo Sima, and Needle Yin as Gongjia Yin, and expand the palace armor from the original 5,000 to 10,000 people!" to strengthen the safety of the king! ”
