Under the city of Xinzheng.

In the phalanx of the Chu army, under the banner of Daxu, Shen Zhuliang, the left Sima of the Chu State, stood on top of the chariot, holding the sword in one hand and the horizontal wood in front of him with the other, looking at the tragic battle situation in the distance.

Shen Zhuliang has been riding for half his life, and he has seen almost any kind of wind and waves.

However, this kind of tough battle is the last thing Shen Zhuliang wants to fight.

Xinzheng City, that is the capital of Zheng State.

As soon as the capital is broken, it means that the majesty of Zheng Guo is swept away, which is equivalent to the death of the country, how can Zheng people not fight with the Chu army?

Having said that, according to such a battle situation, in a few days, the Chu army would be able to break through Xinzheng City and win a complete victory.

Of course, the purpose of the Chu people was not to destroy the Zheng State.

Zheng Guo is not a small country like Xu and Dun, Zheng is a medium-sized country like Lu, Song and Wei, with a long history and culture, and it has risen once, which should not be underestimated.

Destroying Zheng Guo, the matter is extremely serious.

The Jin State will never sit idly by, and even the Chu State will once again become a public enemy of the world.

Now the reason why the Chu army is attacking Xinzheng City with all their lives is just to force the Zheng people to submit, make an alliance under the city, and recognize and cede the land of the city captured by the Chu army to the Chu State in the form of a national letter.

However, it's not that simple.

The monarch of Zheng was very strong, and the Zheng people were not willing to submit to Chu.

So this war has become a tug-of-war.

Shen Zhuliang is most worried about the thing now than the Jin people intervening in it.

"Mingjin retreats!"

Shen Zhuliang saw that it was getting late, so he waved his hand and ordered.

"Zuo Sima, let the last general organize a few more warriors to rush into battle!"

It was Bai Gongsheng, the deputy general of the Chu army, who spoke, that is, Mi Sheng.

At that time, Bai Gongsheng's father, Prince Jian, fled to Zheng State, and the usurpation plot failed, and he was killed by Zheng Ren.

Bai Gongsheng is determined to avenge his father, so he is naturally very positive.

Shen Zhuliang shook his head and said, "No." One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. After many days of fighting, the soldiers were already physically and mentally exhausted, and they could not fight for a long time. ”

"Pass my order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!"

"No!"

It didn't take long for Shen Zhuliang's order to be conveyed.

The soldiers of the Chu army, who were still attacking Xinzheng City, suddenly retreated like a tide after hearing the sound of retreating gongs and drums.

Seeing this scene, Bai Gongsheng was very angry.

He has been dissatisfied with Shen Zhuliang for a long time.

However, Shen Zhuliang's prestige in Chu was extremely high, and he was also trusted by Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, so that when Bai Gongsheng wanted to personally lead his troops to attack Zheng, he was refused, and he could only follow Shen Zhuliang to the north to crusade against Zheng.

……

After returning to the camp, Shen Zhuliang received another report that the Jin army had rushed to support.

With the intervention of the Jin people, this battle of Chu and Zheng is bound to end in a hurry.

However, the cities and lands that the Chu army had already captured could not be ceded out.

Night falls.

In a camp tent, Bai Gongsheng, who was pacing, couldn't help but scold Shen Zhuliang.

"Hateful! Shen Zhuliang is a puppet! Cowardly and incompetent! ”

"What's so terrible about the Jin army? Shen Zhuliang was obviously frightened by the momentum of the Jin people! ”

Bai Gongsheng was very indignant in his heart, but he could only live his mouth in private.

When facing Shen Zhuliang, he didn't dare to let go of a fart!

Shi Qi, who was sitting on the side, saw Bai Gongsheng so annoyed, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Lord, the Jin people have a strong army, and our Chu army is invincible, and Zuo Sima is exempt from war, which is understandable." ”

"Shi Qi, how can you speak for Shen Zhuliang?"

"My lord, with all due respect, my subordinates said bluntly, this battle of Chu and Zheng will definitely end without a problem."

"You mean, the king will choose to retire?"

Bai Gongsheng couldn't help frowning.

Shi Qi bowed slightly: "If the war is unfavorable, and the lord is the king, how can there be any reason not to retreat?" ”

With a "bang", Bai Gongsheng slapped the table and said indignantly: "Hateful!" The enemy is already close at hand, and right here, I actually gave up the opportunity to avenge my father. ”

"My lord, fate can only be grasped in your own hands, not pinned on others."

Shi Qi glanced at Bai Gongsheng meaningfully, then took out a bamboo slip from his arms, handed it to Bai Gongsheng, and said: "Lord, this is a letter from Jinling, it is a letter written by King Wu Qingji, please take a look." ”

"Qingji's handwritten letter?"

Bai Gongsheng was puzzled, so he opened the bamboo slip, glanced at it, and then said with a dumb smile: "Qingji is really thoughtful for me. ”

"He actually asked me to usurp Shen Zhuliang's position as the leading general, and then at the prisoner ceremony, he raised an army to capture Yingdu and set himself up as king...... Shi Qi, in your opinion, is this feasible? ”

Hearing this, Shi begged and said: "Lord, the matter is man-made." ”

"Wu Wang Qingji has been thoughtful about the lord everywhere. If you can gain control of these tens of thousands of troops, then the lord can capture Yingdu with a snap of his fingers. ”

"At that time, it will no longer be the cowardly Xiong Zhen who will dominate the Chu State, but the lord and the lord will reign in the Chu State and become a figure like King Zhuang, who will go down in history and sing for the people of the world!"

When Bai Gongsheng heard this, he was also very excited.

The position of the king of Chu, this is the position that Bai Gongsheng wants to get.

In his opinion, the throne of the State of Chu was supposed to be his!

Bai Gongsheng's father, Prince Jian, was the prince of Chu back then, but by mistake, Prince Jian fled to other countries, causing Bai Gongsheng to be displaced for many years and live in Wu for many years.

As for Xiong Zhen, he is just the concubine of Bai Gongsheng's grandfather, King Chu Ping and Meng Huansheng, why did he steal the throne of King Chu?

When it comes to root and Miao Hong, Bai Gongsheng is the most suitable candidate for the position of King of Chu!

Of course, it is undeniable that Meng Huan became the queen of Chu after the death of King Chuping's original partner.

From the perspective of the legal system, Xiong Zhen, born to King Chuping and Meng Huan, does have the greatest inheritance right and is the eldest son.

Bai Gongsheng was excited for a long time, but when he calmed down, he pondered for a long time.

"Shi Qi, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy. Not to mention whether I can convince the public, if the Wu people's strategy is not to make Shen Zhuliang deposed, what can I do? ”

Bai Gongsheng asked a more critical question.

Now Shen Zhuliang has made it clear that he will avoid fighting and will not fight in the camp, and will not fight with the armies of Zheng and Jin.

This is indeed a suspicion of fear of the enemy and timidity, but if Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, really trusts Shen Zhuliang, how can he change generals on the spot and let Bai Gongsheng take the position?

Shi Qi thought secretly for a moment, and then replied: "Lord, in my opinion, relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the flow of water. The people of Wu are not necessarily reliable. ”

Therefore, the lord must work his own in order to achieve success. By conventional means, it is not possible to make the king of Chu Xiong Zhen take risks and change generals. ”

"If Shen Zhuliang dies, what should it be?"

Hearing this, Bai Gongsheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said, "Shi Qi, you mean, send someone to assassinate Bai Gongsheng?" ”

"Not bad."

Shi Qi put his head up and muttered to Bai Gongsheng: "Lord, my subordinates have found a warrior Xiong Yibian for the lord, and his courage is also the enemy of ten thousand people, and it is not difficult to kill Shen Zhuliang." ”
