Chapter 1 Da Chu, the autumn wind rises

Next Chapter

On the streets in the capital of Chu State, pedestrians are hard to see, and the west wind rolls up dead leaves, and there is a depression.

As one of the three main streets of the capital, Yufu Street, at the end is the illustrious Ye Mansion of the entire Chu State, and the Ye Mansion at this time is as quiet as ever.

In a quaint and old room in the middle of the house, the walls are decorated with calligraphy and paintings, and the slanting sun shines through the vermilion window and shines on the man lying on the desk.

Supporting his head with one hand, revealing half of his handsome and cold side face, bathed in the twilight, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was pretending to sleep, and as if he had a sweet dream.

Dressed in a moon-white robe, the hosta is inserted in a high bun at will, and the charm is refined.

Slowly, the hand seemed to lose its center of gravity and slid to the side, and the head followed towards the table.

If the man realized something, he opened a pair of beautiful eyes, the dark pupils were bottomless, but there seemed to be stars hidden in them, and the divine light was restrained.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital. Ye Yunyi lazily adjusted his sitting posture and looked at the Wen Mu on the table in a daze.

The footsteps came from far and near, and when they arrived in Ye Yunyi's study, they deliberately lowered their speed.

Ye Bo, who was wearing a dark linen butler uniform and had a half-pile gray beard, hesitated again and again, although he knew that his young master had the habit of taking a nap, and finally knocked on Ye Yunyi's door gently due to the importance of the matter.

"Sir, sir".

"It's Ye Bo, come in."

"Master, someone from the palace is here, it's Xu Tingwei, and it is said that the queen is in a hurry."

"Oh, this trick to me, it seems that our queen is in trouble, it really doesn't make people live in peace."

Uncle Xu put down his saluting hand and looked up at his young master, Wei Wei's brows, good-looking handsome face, and elegant temperament, coupled with his young age but already in a high position, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second one in this huge capital.

"Ye Bo, you welcome Xu Tingwei to the living room, and I will change into formal clothes," Ye Yunyi said.

"Okay master, the old slave retires."

Ye Bo welcomed Xu Tingwei into the living hall and said to Xu Tingwei, "Please wait a while, my master will come over in a formal suit, please forgive me for the neglect", and then instructed the maid next to him to say: "Yunzhu looks at the tea."

"Whereever, I'm just waiting here, don't worry," Xu Tingwei said.

Although the matter is urgent, the queen has instructed you to be polite when she comes, even if the queen doesn't say it, she has to be polite.

The three generations of the Ye family are the legends of the Chu State from generation to generation, and the Ye family is a Xuan He Chu State.

Ye Yunyi, who had changed into a dark official uniform, stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face inside, and the pictures of his past life and present were constantly intertwined.

In his previous life, he was an unknown member of the crowd, ordinary and realistic, and now he has a dream for a thousand years.

I don't know why, even if I change my face, my temperament still hasn't changed. It doesn't matter if it's sloppy, it's indifferent, it's not worried, it's safe.

His thoughts slowly pulled back, "It's time to settle something", Ye Yunyi thought, and then paced towards the front yard.

Ye Zhenjun, the old lady of the Ye family, was the close commander of the deceased Emperor Gaozu of Chu.

In the third year of Taihe, when Emperor Gaozu of Chu was sent to Yan Kingdom as a proton, only the old man Ye Zhenjun and his more than ten subordinates swore to follow him with the three thousand close guards around him.

Later, on the way back to China three years later, he was assassinated by the dead soldiers of the second prince, the king of Liaobei.

It was Old Man Ye who stood in the way, with three arrows in his body, fighting a breath of blood, fighting his way out, and returning to Chu State alive with Chu Gaozu.

At that time, Emperor Chu Gaozu was the eldest in line, and he should not have been sent to be a proton, but because he was not born to the queen and his biological mother was still a foreign princess, the situation was unfavorable, so Chu Gaozu was forced to embark on the road of proton.

Fortunately, Old Man Ye is well protected. Because the three-year proton career was exchanged for a three-year period of peaceful development of the weak Chu State at that time.

Therefore, when Hui Gaozu returned to Chu State, his prestige was unprecedentedly high in Chu State, winning the support of many officials in Chu State, and the people welcomed him on the way back to China.

Coupled with the support of the military faction, he won the final political competition, and in the ninth year of Taihe, Chu Gaozu finally ascended the throne and changed the era name to Anping.

Old Man Ye was too injured in that battle and could no longer go into battle.

Chu Gaozu felt that his kindness was very heavy, and after ascending the throne, he was named the prince of Zhenguo, enjoying the lifelong support of the royal family and blessing his descendants.

Within three years, that is, the third year of Anping, Old Man Ye died, leaving his only son, Ye Yunyi's father, Ye Beijiang, and later the Great Chu God of War.

In the twenty-first year of Anping, after the hard work of Emperor Gaozu, the state of Chu was restored.

At that time, there were three kingdoms in the Central Plains, Jin, Yan, and Chu. The Yan Kingdom is north of the Central Plains and has a vast territory.

Agriculture is developed, the national strength is prosperous, the Jin State is in the southeast of the Central Plains, it has always been not good at fighting, but it is good at defending, the city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The state of Chu occupies the southwest, and its national strength is neither strong, nor does it have geographical advantages, so it is not easy to defend.

The west of Chu faces the sea, and from time to time there are ships from overseas countries coming ashore to plunder.

However, the birth of Ye Beijiang rewrote the weak history of the Chu State.

At the age of seventeen, he served in the elite Zhenguo army of the Chu State, and before his death, Old Man Ye prayed to Gaozu to let Ye Beijiang be the Son of Heaven's army.

Ye Beijiang, who was twenty-one years old at the time, has always protected Emperor Gaozu of Chu. Four years later, the Liao State saw that the rapid development of the Chu State had a faint threat to its interests.

Sent troops to attack the state of Chu, and the state of Chu was defeated and retreated, and also captured Fengdu City and Linhe City on the border of Liao and Chu.

In addition, the commander of the Yan State at that time was Song Xuan, a famous general at that time, and he had not tasted a defeat since he was in charge of the Xuandu Army of the Yan State.

At that time, the state of Chu had just recovered, and most of the generals of the older generation had withered, and the new generation had not yet grown up.

There is a situation where there is no resistance to the main general. However, Yan Guo has two famous generals known as the two heroes.

That is, Song Xuan, who is in charge of the Xuandu Army, and Xie Wang, who is in charge of the Tiance Army, even the Jin State, which is not much stronger than the Chu State, has a fierce general Jiang Xiao who is a master and a thousand people.

At this time, the state of Chu was bleak and faced the risk of losing the country at any time. Ye Beijiang, who stayed by Emperor Gaozu's side, could learn about the latest battle situation at any time.

Seeing the sad scene of Gaozu, he took the initiative to ask for his life to share his worries for the king.

Although the Ye family has been a military general for two generations, Gaozu has not seen Ye Beijiang's commanding talent, so he is not at ease.

Under the oppression of external pressure, some peacemakers in Chu began to be ready to move, and they left a way back for themselves, and even took the initiative to contact the Liao State in detail, and passively slacked off the war. There was chaos in the army, and there was no way to do it.

The ancestor who had no faction had no choice but to summon Ye Beijiang overnight.

Ye Beijiang, who was ordered to be in danger, led the thirteen cavalry army out of Weiyang Gate in the west, and went straight to Qingyun City, the border city where the army was pressing.

When Ye Beijiang arrived at Qingyun City, there were less than 40,000 of the 100,000 Chu troops left to defend the city.

The soldiers defending the city cheered when they heard that reinforcements were coming, but when Ye Beijiang's thirteen iron cavalry entered the city, the originally jubilant Chu army fell silent again.
