Chapter XXVIII: The Warring States Long-tongued Woman 26

In 311 B.C., the Chu army attacked Danyang all the way, and the Qin army fought in Danyang, South Korea took advantage of the geographical advantage, when Chu and Qin were fighting, they reneged on the agreement to join the longitudinal and flank the Chu army, Jingcui and Qu Qi received the encirclement, Qu Qi died in battle, and the situation was grim.

Xiong Huai was furious, and on the one hand, he united with the Qi State, and on the other hand, he ordered Gongsun Yan to be the pillar State and send troops to support Jingcui.

Qi sent troops to attack South Korea, South Korea was soon defeated, defeated and retreated, the situation of Yangzhai, the capital of South Korea, was critical, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he sent people to retreat from the army in Danyang to guard Yang Zhai, Jingcui finally had a chance to breathe, and conquered Wuguan in one go.

And Gongsun Yan led the mighty reinforcements to the border, joined Jingcui, and took the land of Shangyu two months later, and when he retreated, he saw that the army of Qi was still attacking Korea, so he joined forces with Qi to attack Korea.

When King Xiang of Wei used Qi Chu to attack Korea, he also attacked Korea, and the king of Yue sent an envoy to send 500 warships and 50,000 arrows to the king of Wei to support Wei.

Yingdu.

Zhao slip in Jiangdong as a spy for a few years, thought he knew a lot about the Yue country, so he came back, just in time to catch up with Xiong Huai to set up a banquet for the victorious army, between the staggered planning, laughter and laughter, so lively, Xiong Huai was infected by the atmosphere, wanted to send troops to attack Qin, Yue, the favorite concubine Zheng Sleeve tried his best to dissuade, he gave up.

Back in Nangong, he swept away the joy on the table and asked Zheng Sleeve the reason, Zheng Sleeve quoted scriptures, and bluntly said that after the first battle of Danyang, the army's vitality was greatly damaged, and it needed to recuperate and train soldiers and horses.

Xiong Huai was still depressed, and Zheng Sleeve persuaded again: "Now that the etiquette is broken, South Korea and Wei are not moral, how long can the situation of unity and indulgence be maintained?" The protracted war of the past few years has greatly reduced our forces, and if the time comes when everyone can attack us, what will we do against others? ”

Against small countries such as South Korea and Yan, speed warfare is effective, but after so many years, she can see clearly that the speed team is useless against Qin, this country's military, economic, political and other strengths are very strong, and there are capable generals (the unbeatable Shu Chang Li disease).

Zheng Sleeve knew that Xiong Huai was thinking about destroying the Qin State all the time, but reality didn't allow it!

Xiong Huai doesn't look down on those small countries on weekdays, and when he heard what she said, he said: "It's just a small border country, why should the concubine be so jealous?" If they dare to come, they will send men to destroy them. Don't hide it, Bugu has the intention to send troops to Yueguo, and now Bugu has a very good understanding of Yueguo, such as going in and out of his own yard, taking down Jiangdong, such as exploring the bag and taking things. ”

Xiong Huai had long wanted to destroy the scourge of Yue Guo in order to eliminate his worries, and today when he heard the good news brought back by Zhaohua, he couldn't hold back his thoughts.

Zheng Sleeve agreed with him to attack the Yue Kingdom, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The concubine knows that the prince is wise and powerful, who dares to provoke it!" ”

Knowing that she intended to joke with herself, Xiong Huai didn't care too much, he said: "Concubine Ai, at the banquet today, what do you think of Lingjun's words?" "Today, Qu Yuan, Jin Shang and other ministers asked Xiong Huai to be crowned as a prince, but Xiong Huai did not respond on the spot, just to hear Zheng Sleeve's opinion.

Zheng Sleeve didn't say a word, looked at a corner, Xiong Huai looked, only to see a small shadow behind the curtain, he pulled down his face and asked, "Zinan, what are you doing there?" When he faced this son, his nose was always not a nose, and his face was not a face, and Zheng Sleeve was anxious when he saw it.

"If you put on this stinky face again in the future, don't come to my Nangong!" She feigned anger and said that so many years of experience in getting along with her made her feel Xiong Huai's bottom line, and she was not afraid that putting on a face would make him angry.

"A loving mother has many defeated children."

"Bah, the three sons of the concubine are all smarter than the Maharaja!" She walked over, hugged Zinan, and when she saw him rubbing his eyes, she asked, "Why didn't you sleep and ran here?" ”

"Can't sleep." Zinan turned around and hugged her and asked, "What are the father and mother talking about?" ”

On a whim, Zheng Sleeve said, "I'm talking about the establishment of the prince." Xiong Huai glared at her, but she grimaced and slammed back.

"I see." He yawned, looking very tired, and Zheng Sleeve said: "It seems that you are very sleepy, and the queen mother asked the nurse to take you back to sleep." ”

Zinan waved his little hand and puffed out his mouth and said, "Don't go back, the child wants to listen to the father and queen mother." ”

couldn't get rid of him, Xiong Huai could only reluctantly accept it, and sat on the bed with Zheng Sleeve and Zinan's mother and son to chat, and talked about the issue of the prince, he said: "I don't know that you belong to Zilan, but he is young, and he has been a great successor since ancient times, and Ziheng is more suitable." ”

"The matter of the prince, the concubine does not dare to say anything." Zheng Sleeve didn't seem to care, anyway, her three sons were the eldest in the harem, and Yang Wenjun, the son of the Queen of the West, was still in infancy, no matter what, after a few decades, she would be able to be the queen mother.

"I don't like Zilan the most on weekdays, why don't you speak up for him at this time?" Xiong Huai asked, among the three sons, he also likes the smart and lively second son the most, he originally thought that if Zheng Sleeve proposed Lizilan as the prince, then he would push the boat and agree to forget it, but he didn't expect her to be reluctant to speak out about it.

"Ziheng, Zilan, and Zinan are all your sons, and the concubine knows that the prince is wise, and she will definitely choose the most suitable one."

Xiong Huai stopped talking, but Zi Nan took his words to heart, deliberately made a childish and ignorant expression, and said: "My son wants the second brother to be the king even more." As soon as the words came out, he felt remorse for a moment, he was really stunned, how could he think of testing the couple's thoughts in this way?

He panicked, and hurriedly looked at Zheng Sleeve, Zheng Sleeve's face sank like water, flicked a few fingers at his forehead, put him on the ground, and said coldly: "Your father is in the prime of life, and the little cub has just learned to walk, and he is thinking about the throne!" He said loudly to the outside of the hall: "Nurse, come here, take the third son down!" ”

Seeing Zheng Sleeve's complexion, Xiong Huai looked disgusted, Zi Nan knew that he had done too much, and it was too late to regret it.

After the nurse hugged him and left, Zheng Sleeve had tears in her eyes and said guiltily: "It's the concubine who didn't teach him well." She She is right, the wolf cubs are really difficult to feed, and after a few years, he is still restless.

"It's just a yellow-haired child, you don't have to worry about the concubine, we still have Ziheng and Zilan." Xiong Huai didn't care.

Although Zheng Sleeve was dissatisfied with Zinan's abruptness, he didn't want to deepen his prejudice against Zinan, so he was anxious and hurriedly said: "Zinan is also your son." ”

Xiong Huai frowned, and suddenly sighed: "Zizi, you said, if this child was a daughter, how good it would be!" "Sometimes he is very confused, sometimes he is very shrewd, he has been with Zheng Sleeve for so many years, and he has more or less learned some of her skills to see people.

Although his youngest son is smarter than his two elder brothers, he has too many thoughts, and there is always an inexplicable hostility towards Zheng Sleeve, which makes him very unhappy.

I don't know how to be grateful, how is it different from a chicken and a guinea dog?

"We'll have a daughter!" Zheng Sleeve smiled.

Xiong Huai smiled, hugged her, and said softly: "Well, another one." ”
