Almost when Li Shang was in Fengyi Palace and expressed his views on the direction of the war, Jingdu Wuyi fell into a strange tranquility.

After calming down from the joy of 'going down to the ground for a few days', the Huainan generals packed up their moods, fought hard, and prepared for the next big battle that would inevitably take place with great emotions.

- Go north to attack Chu!

Although every soldier in the rebel army had anticipated this battle, even at the moment when the land was completely captured, when the word 'attacking Chu' appeared in their minds, the soldiers still couldn't help but tremble a little in their hearts.

It's not that the Huainan sergeants, they are all a group of cowards, or a rabble - in fact, in the past few decades, the word 'Chu pawn' has left too many legends in the land of Kanto······

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that what happened in the last few decades, first when the first emperor destroyed Chu, Chu threw Xiang Yan like a curse and dropped a sentence 'Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu'.

As a result, just over ten years later, after the death of the first emperor, the second succession, and the death of Qin at the hands of the third son, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who competed for the world, were both from Chu.

It can even be said that in addition to the first uprising, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who raised the flag in Daze Township, contributed the most and contributed the most in the process of 'exterminating Qin', and at the same time, they were also the leaders of the righteous army, King Huai of Yidi, as well as Xiang Yu, a nobleman of Chu State, and Liu Bang, the leader of the hooligans of Chu State.

A little closer, that is, after the Hongmen Banquet, the world was divided into eighteen princes for Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu was defeated because he instructed Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang at that time, to intercept and kill King Chu Huai, and he lost his righteousness and stood on the opposite side of the world.

But even so, Xiang Chu at that time did not fall into Xiang Yu's reputation as the 'overlord of Chu', and basically beat anyone who was not pleasing to the eye.

- I've fought them all!

Especially in the battle of Pengcheng, the overlord Xiang Yu personally led 30,000 Chu cavalry, and the 560,000 princes led by Liu Bang chased and slashed all the way from Pengcheng to Xingyang like a sheep.

These past events alone are enough to make the Huainan soldiers under the command of Yingbu have an unknown fear and jealousy towards the 'Chu people' who have not yet fought each other.

And all of this was also seen by a nobleman with a tattoo on his face and gloomy eyebrows in the palace of King Jing of Wuyi······

·

"Chu people ······"

"Humph!"

With a low roar full of irritation, Yingbu only clenched his fists, and propped his fists on the wooden table with a violent expression, and his grim gaze spread to the empty palace.

As Yingbu's brow gradually furrowed, the tattoo on his left cheek couldn't help but twist.

I don't know how long it took for Yingbu to sit back on the soft couch with a gloomy face, and fell into a long thought.

It stands to reason that Yingbu himself is actually barely a native of Chu.

- Jiujiang, where Yingbu was born, was originally the territory of Chu when Qin had not yet unified the world.

It's just that if you push the time forward a little further, to the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the situation will be different.

Yingbu's hometown is today's Huainan capital - Lu'an.

To be precise, after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, the world was divided into 36 counties; And Yingbu was born in Liu'anyi, Jiujiang County, Qin.

Before Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, Jiujiang was indeed the territory of Chu.

However, in the more distant Spring and Autumn Period, Jiujiang County was called 'Wu Tou and Chu Wei' by most people because it belonged to the eastern border of Wu and the western border of Chu; strictly speaking, it belonged to the state of Wu.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue King Goujian lay down and tasted the gall, and Jiujiang, which originally belonged to the Wu State, was occupied by the Yue State that was dominating for a while.

It's just that, like most of the hegemons who flourished for a while, the Yue Kingdom, which dominated the world for a while, inevitably declined after the death of a generation of male lords, Gou Jian.

Especially in just 100 years since Gou Jian's death, there have been three murders of kings in the Yue Kingdom, which is called by historians: the Yue people killed their kings three times.

- First of all, in the twenty-first year of King Zhen of Zhou, that is, in 448 BC, Zhu Gou, the crown prince of Yue, staged a coup d'état, killed King Yue Bushou successfully, and became king.

Later, in the first year of King Lie of Zhou, that is, in 375 BC, Yu Wang's younger brother Yu succeeded to the throne, murdered three princes, and tried to get rid of the princes, but was rejected by King Yue;

Seeing that his plan was not approved, Zhu Zhi was worried that he would be killed, so he launched a palace coup d'état and killed Yue Wang Peng; In October of that year, the angry Yue people killed Zhu Zhi again!

Yue Wang Phong and his heirs were killed by the thieves, and the blame for the successful enthronement as the king of Yue was killed by the loyal Yue people, which made the throne of the Yue country no longer have an heir in the sense of the law, and the Yue country fell into civil strife since then.

Just two years later, in the third year of King Zhou Lie, that is, in 363 BC, the younger brother of the temple area Si killed the marquis and established his younger brother Wuli as the king of Yue······

The tragedy of killing the monarch and killing the father was constantly staged in the court, and the nobles of the Yue Kingdom had their own thoughts and killed each other, which also made the Yue Kingdom, which was already on the road of decay, gradually drift away from the hegemony of the Yue King Goujian at a faster speed.

Until 306 BC, that is, the first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and the ninth year of King Shenliang of Zhou, the Yue Kingdom, which still failed to get out of the civil strife, was finally destroyed by Xiong Huai, the king of Chuhuai;

The former territory of the Yue State, as well as the territory of the Wu State that was included in the Yue State by Goujian, the king of Yue, have since become part of the territory of the Chu State.

So from this point of view, as a Jiujiang person, Yingbu can say that he is a Chu person, and he can also say that he is a Yue person, but in fact, to this day, even if the Wu State has long ceased to exist, the vast majority of Jiujiang people still regard themselves as 'Wu people'.

This is also the reason why the Huainan soldiers under the command of Yingbu have not seen a single Chu pawn, and they are afraid of the 'Chu people'.

The reason couldn't be simpler: more than 200 years ago, the state of Wu was destroyed by Yue; More than 100 years ago, the Yue who destroyed Wu was destroyed by Chu again.

In this way, through a very simple and easy-to-understand comparison, the Huainan soldiers who claim to be 'after the Wu people' can easily come to such a conclusion.

- The Yue people are stronger than the Wu people, and the Chu people are stronger than the Yue people, so the Chu people are much stronger than the Wu people!

This is also the reason why Yingbu is anxious about the current situation, which has just won a big victory, but the army is strangely sluggish, and he really doesn't know how to adjust.

——Gou Jian's experience of destroying Wu really made the Wu people too frightened, and even in the depths of their souls, they were branded with a brand called 'fear of transgression', even if hundreds of years have passed, they have not faded······

After hundreds of years of baptism, the brand of 'fear of Yue' has not been able to fade from the hearts of the Wu people, let alone the Chu State that once defeated the Yue people and even destroyed the Yue State?

"Alas······"

With a low lament, Yingbu turned his head aimlessly, looking at the warrior who had been standing at his side, but had never raised his head or straightened up.

Feeling Yingbu's gaze towards him, the warrior stood like a wooden carving for a moment, and when he saw that Yingbu was still watching him closely, he raised his head and looked at Yingbu with a little tentativeness.

"The king, but you are worried about the instability of the army, and the soldiers are afraid when they hear it?"

Seeing that his personal guard said something to reveal his worries, Yingbu only straightened up with a solemn face, walked forward with his hands in his hands, and Xiao Ran let out a long sigh.

"yes~"

"There is a Han dynasty, and the princes with different surnames in the Kanto region are begged for by Chang'an year after year."

"Today, King Gongwei of Linjiang, Han Xiangxin, Wang Xin of Chu, Zang Di, King of Yan, Peng Yue, King of Liang, etc., have all died and the country has been destroyed."

"Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, has also lost his land and gone to his prince, and is under house arrest in Chang'an for Duke Pei."

"Today's Yan King Lu Xuan is Peigong's siblings who have been inseparable day and night since he was a child; Even now, Chang'an is becoming more and more strict with the princes of Kwantung, and Lu Juan, the king of Yan, should not be rebellious. ”

"and Wu Chen, the king of Changsha, the son and son of Wu Rui and the descendant of Wu Wangfucha; But only reciting 'Nanjie Zhao Tuo', Chang'an has no reason to take the Wu clan and seize its country and land······"

Speaking in a tone full of emotion, Yingbu finally turned his head with a wry smile.

"Today, the king of Kanto has a different surname, and he is a prince who is jealous of Chang'an, and he is only a widow······"

"Peng Yue, the king of Liang, has made great contributions to Sheji, and there is no disrespect, and he has also beheaded Pei Gong in Luoyang, divided his flesh and 'gived' the hands of the widow."

"If the widow no longer plans for himself, I am afraid that in the future, he should follow in the footsteps of Peng Yue······"

In a tone full of helplessness, saying these words that could not be heard at all, Yingbu raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the palace, west of Wuyi, where the Huainan army was stationed, and there was only a touch of sarcasm on his face.

"However, the widows raised troops and tried to make themselves rich, wanting to be rich and noble with the Wu people of Huainan; How can the Wu people, who have high hopes for the widows, still fear Chu in the past, and live in Wuyi and dare not look west! ”

Suddenly let out a roar full of resentment, and Yingbu let out another lamentation and shook his head.

"If you go north with the widow to attack Chu, you are all such cowards, and you can indulge in the ability of the Marquis of Huaiyin in the past, and you will be in vain... But ······"

Listening to his own king's lonely self-talk, the soldiers only lowered their heads silently, as if they didn't know how to persuade them.

But a moment later, the soldier came back from his momentary thoughts, and when he looked up at Yingbu again, there was a faint light of wisdom in his eyes!

"The King."

"Where is the army now?"

Knowingly asked for no reason, which made Yingbu frown.

When he came back to his senses and saw the confidence in the eyes of the guards, Yingbu also stepped forward suspiciously, slightly drying his lips.

"Wu Yi."

"Jingdu Wuyi."

Seeing that Yingbu did not show an irritated look, but looked at him faintly with anticipation, the guard finally straightened his waist and smiled meaningfully at Yingbu.

"The king is a Wu person, how can he forget: when the king of Wu was sent in the past, the capital of Wu was the capital of Jing today: Wuyi?"

Hearing this, Yingbu's face suddenly froze, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly!

But soon, the expression on Yingbu's face returned to the unexplained loneliness he had felt a moment ago.

- If it weren't for this personal guard reminder, Yingbu would indeed have forgotten: Wuyi, where he is now, is precisely the royal capital of Wu Wangfu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Even at this moment, the Jingwang Palace, which was trampled under Yingbu's feet, was very likely to be the Wu Wanggong hundreds of years ago!

But even so, Yingbu still couldn't figure it out: Wuyi was the former capital of Wu, what does it have to do with Yingbu's current predicament?

Even now, the Huainan soldiers are inexplicably afraid of Chu Pawn, and it is very likely that it is because of the 'Old Wu Capital' at the foot of Yingbu, which has deepened everyone's impression of that period of time!

Thinking of this, Yingbu looked at the soldier's gaze, and there was a slight hint of understanding.

"Zhongyi, the widow should lead the army elsewhere and garrison the army far away from Wuyi?"

But when the soldiers heard this, they only shook their heads with sighs, and then looked at Yingbu with a smile.

"Definitely."

"The king should not only move the army elsewhere, but also encourage the army in Wuyi!"

"And only Wuyi can make all the soldiers fear Chu and have a raging fighting spirit!"

Hearing this, Yingbu finally vaguely guessed the intention of the guards, so he also temporarily put down the shelf of the princes, and finally put on a look of respect that the younger generation should have for the elder brother in the clan.

"Please also tell me more!"

The solemn arching of his hand made the guard's eyes reddened for a while, and he was moved for a moment, and finally sat down cross-legged in front of Yingbu, and put all his plans in front of Yingbu.

"The king should know: the hearts of all the generals and soldiers are scattered today, all because of the past, the king of Yue Goujian destroyed Wu, and then Chu destroyed Yue."

"However, before Wu Wangfu was destroyed by Yue, he had destroyed Yue first!"

"The reason why Gou Jian was able to restore the country, and then he was hegemonic for a while, was because his husband was kind for a while, and he was blinded by Gou Jian."

"Now that the king has died in the capital of Wu, and he has an army of hundreds of thousands, why not gather all the soldiers under the city and swear again?"

Hearing this, Yingbu's face was only slightly dazed.

"······ again"

"Oath?"

muttered softly to himself, but provoked the guard to nod his head.

"Yes!"

"The king raised an army against the Han this time, although he had sworn in Lu'an, but at that time, the king quickly seized the thorn without saying it, so everything was simple, and he never wrote in the world!"

"Today, everyone in the world knows that the king raised troops, but they don't know why the king raised troops."

"Now, the generals and soldiers are disheartened, and the king can take this opportunity to take the oath and make a letter again."

"The one who swore the oath is the great king's words and soldiers: in the past, Wu Wangfu sent to destroy Yue, but because of his momentary kindness, the evil was not exhausted, and he was counterattacked by Goujian;"

"Today, the king obeys the order and gathers hundreds of thousands of Wu Jia in Wuyi, which is the legacy of the previous king's husband, and wants to continue Wu's hegemony!"

"The defeat of the husband is the unfinished elimination of evil; Now, Pei Gongzhi raised his troops and did not come in person, and only sent a young boy to be the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops! ”

"The king can take advantage of this opportunity, after breaking the Han Dynasty, the more impure he will become, and the dust will be !! after being eaten back."

Speaking impassionedly, the guards finally stopped talking, smiled slightly, adjusted their heavy breathing, and finally whispered: "And Yiwen, Yier." ”

"The king was a few years old in the past, how did Pei Gong treat each other with meritorious princes, and how did he make the eight princes with different surnames in the Han Dynasty, only the two of them are left behind, etc., and they can be ······ when they are clearly stated in the world."
