Chapter 81: The Generals Return

"The king is wise!"

The important ministers of the court of Chu State hurriedly patted their farts and said, Qu Boyong was full of sorrow when he saw it, and only Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, felt useful.

And people like Qu Boyong and other people from the three major families of Chu felt sad in their hearts, Chu was no longer the Chu State during the reign of King Chu Wei.

The state of Chu has been declining, and only the three major families of the Qu family, the Zhao family, and the Jing family in Chu can support it.

The rest of these so-called important ministers of the court could not be counted on at all, and they formed parties and personal interests, putting the interests of their families above the interests of the Chu State.

But the king can't see these yet, when will the Chu State become truly powerful, no longer strong from the outside, and from the middle, is it really necessary to carry out a comprehensive bone scraping and poison treatment like the Qin State?

However, at this time, Qu Boyong's heart was full of worries, not only about the fate of Chu State, but also about his son.

Since this period of time, Qu Boyong has never seen his second son Qu Yuan again.

I sent someone to inquire and found out that my son had disappeared inexplicably after taking his sweetheart to the border between Qin and Chu some time ago.

Qu Boyong knew in his heart that his son Qu Yuan had probably been kidnapped by the Qin soldiers wandering nearby.

As for saying that his son Qu Yuan was killed and Qu Boyong didn't believe it, Qu Boyong knew that Qu Yuan was smart and clever.

Once his life is in danger and he can't resist, Qu Yuan will definitely tell his family history.

At that time, whether it is the generals of the Qin army or the soldiers of the Qin army, they will not hurt Qu Yuan because of their existence as the general of the Chu State, so as to gain bargaining chips for the negotiations between the Qin State and the Chu State in the future.

"Old General Qu, according to the old general's opinion, who should be sent to lead the troops this time?"

"Wuguan Guarding General Wang Ling is a difficult opponent, with 70,000 Qin army elite soldiers, plus Wuguan Tianyan, if the commander of the army is incompetent, I'm afraid that the 300,000 army really can't help Wang Ling!"

Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, said that as the lord of a country, he was naturally very concerned about Wuguan, which was originally the territory of Chu State, and he also knew a lot about it, so he naturally knew that Wang Ling was not easy to deal with.

"Back to the king, this time, the old minister is willing to personally lead the troops to the battle!"

Qu Boyong said, and this remark directly caused an uproar in the court of Chu State.

"The old general can't, the old general is the pillar of the country, how can he move lightly?"

"The old general, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, is even more devoted to my Chu State, and now that he is old, how can a widow bear to let the old general put on armor and go into battle again?"

Xiong Huai hurriedly said, although Xiong Huai was a little mediocre and dull, he still knew who was really good to him in the court.

is definitely the leader of Qu Boyong, a branch of the Chu royal family, and they are all members of his own family, so he also makes Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, trust the Qu family.

"Returning to the king, Wang Ling, the general of Wuguan, does not seem to have many brilliant achievements in the Qin army, but he is a fierce general on the battlefield who has risen step by step by relying on his military merits. ”

"And he has 70,000 elite soldiers of the Qin army in his hands, and the old minister has sent someone to spy on Wang Ling's intelligence before, and found that this person is fighting steadily and steadily, and he will never lead the army to take the initiative to attack if he is not sure of victory!"

"In the past, the battle seemed to be extremely stiff, but once the fighter was seized, it would launch a thunderous blow to directly defeat the other party, with this person sitting in Wuguan, my Chu State wanted to take Wuguan, I am afraid it will be even more difficult!"

"Therefore, only the old minister is personally in charge, as long as there is news from the Qin State that the King of Qin is willing to cede the land, the old minister will personally lead 300,000 elite troops to Wuguan and open up a passage to the north for my Chu State!"

Qu Boyong said, in fact, if possible, Qu Boyong was unwilling to personally lead the army, after all, his body was no longer allowed.

But it has to be like this, in fact, Qu Boyong has a better candidate in his heart - Jingjia Jingcui!

Thinking of this person, even Qu Boyong couldn't help but sigh, this young man of the Jing family may have surpassed himself in talent.

If Jing Cui leads the army to go this time, coupled with the fact that Chu State does not lag behind and ensures that the supply of grain, grass and ordnance is sufficient and timely, Chu State is at least eighty percent sure that it will take Wuguan.

However, the name Jingcui is taboo in the court of the Chu State, and even Qu Boyong, an important minister of the Chu State, cannot be easily mentioned.

Jing Cui's original exploits can indeed shine on the world, but he has no choice but to commit the most taboo thing for the king, that is, disrespect for the will!

I think that the king of Chu ordered Jing Cui to lead the army of Chu to return to Chu many times, but Jing Cui still went his own way, although he almost destroyed Qin in the end, he also had the right to disobey the orders of foreign kings.

But it also violates a taboo in the king's heart no matter where it is.

Jing Cui was almost beheaded after returning to Chu State, if it weren't for the desperate intercession of the three major families of Chu led by himself, Jing Cui, a world-famous young talent, would probably fall.

But even so, after Jing Cui was deprived of his military position, he returned to the Jing family and drank and had fun all day long, stayed at home, and no longer asked about anything in the Chu State.

It seems that he has been depressed and degenerate, but as long as he is a person of insight, he can see the amazing edge hidden under Jing Cui's incompetent appearance now.

"Alas, okay, but the old general should not be reluctant this time, he doesn't need to go into battle directly in armor like before, he just needs to sit in command of the Chinese army. ”

"Summoning the envoy of Qin, the king of Qin's ceremony, my Chu country will come as scheduled!"

Xiong Huai sighed and said, if it weren't for the necessity of the current situation, Xiong Huai really didn't want Qu Boyong, the pillar of the Chu State, to lead the troops to the battle.

The order of the king of Chu passed through the palace of the king of Chu and quickly passed to the post house, and the envoys of the Qin state embarked on the way back to the Qin state from Yingdu after receiving the reply of the king of Chu.

Not long after the envoys of the Qin State left Yingdu, another group of people came out of the gate of Yingdu, but they went in a different direction.

This line of people is Qu Boyong and others, this time they got the tiger talisman issued by the king of Chu and went to the Chu army camp to mobilize troops, wanting to suppress the Wuguan and wait for the opportunity to take the Wuguan in one fell swoop!

......

Half a month later, the capital of the Qin State - Xianyang City!

At this time, under the city of Xianyang, a burst of sand and dust suddenly rolled up from the left and right directions, and from the left and right directions, two groups of people and horses with hundreds of Qin army iron horsemen suddenly came.

These two groups of men and horses were respectively the headquarters of the Great Qin general Ying Ji who received Yingji's order to return from the northern Xinjiang and Yinghua, the first warrior of Great Qin, and Sima Cuo, the general of Bashu who returned from the land of Bashu.

The two groups of people gathered directly under Xianyang City, whether it was Sima Cuo, Yingji, or Yinghua, the three of them couldn't help but show a vicissitudes of temperament, but the majesty of a general on the three of them did not decrease in the slightest.

The northern frontier garrisoned by Yingji and Yinghua is not only to protect the security of Daqin, but also to protect the security of the Chinese nation.

Sima Cuo also has to defend against the grassland aliens in the northwest, and in the perennial war with the aliens, you can feel an iron-blooded and fierce aura from the three of them from a distance, which makes people daunting!

"Haha, General Sima, I haven't seen you for many years since Xianyang said goodbye, General Sima is fine!"
