Yingdu, the palace of the king of Chu.

"Woe to the king, woe to you!"

Zixi, Shen Baoxu, and Nangwa entered Zhangtai together, and said to Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, anxiously.

At this time, Xiong Zhen was dealing with daily government affairs, and when he saw that the three of Zixi were worried, he felt bad in his heart.

After all, not to mention, Zixi and Shen Baoxu are extremely mature and stable people on weekdays, and they are not chaotic in the face of danger, how can they be so panicked as they are now?

"King, the latest battle report has come from Xinzheng, and the Jin army has rushed to Xinzheng to support under the leadership of Shi Ying. Zuo Sima Shen Zhuliang had to retreat and set up camp to confront the Jin army and the Zheng army. ”

"Of course, that's not the worst of it."

Zixi looked sad and said: "When Shen Zhuliang was out on patrol, he was attacked by a group of thugs, he was seriously injured, and he had passed out......

"What?"

Xiong Zhen suddenly changed color.

Shen Zhuliang's status in the state of Chu is beyond doubt.

His father, Shen Yinshu, was an official in Zuo Sima, with a high position and a very high status in the army.

Shen Zhuliang also inherited his father's ability to command troops and fight, as well as Zuo Sima's official position, and even better.

This can be seen from the fact that Shen Zhuliang was able to lead the Chu army that fell into decline, turned defeat into victory, and broke the eighteen-nation alliance led by the Jin people on the front line of Fangcheng.

Therefore, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, Shen Zhuliang is the Optimus Pillar of the Chu State, a generation of famous generals.

In the huge Chu State, no one can match Shen Zhuliang in military terms.

For the Jin army to send troops to aid Zheng, including Xiong Zhen, Zixi, Shen Baoxu and others have already expected and have a countermeasure.

However, Shen Zhuliang would actually be assassinated, so that he almost died at the hands of assassins, which was something that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State never expected.

"Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate Zuo Sima of my Chu State? Could it be a Jin or Zheng person? ”

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, shouted with an angry look on his face.

"It's not a Zheng person, it's a Jin person."

Zixi sighed and said: "It is said that the assassin disguised himself as a soldier of my Chu army and blended in with it, so he succeeded in assassination. ”

"My lord, it is imperative to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Now the reinforcements of the Jin State have arrived, the Jin and Zheng coalition forces, and our Chu army is invincible. ”

"It's a pity that Shen Zhuliang is now seriously injured and bedridden, I'm afraid he can't bear the responsibility."

"If the news leaks, the enemy army will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and I am afraid that the cities and lands captured by the soldiers of our Chu army before will be gained and lost again!"

That's the seriousness of the matter.

When Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, realized this, he immediately said, "The war against Zheng must be ended as soon as possible." Passing on the order of the widow, Ling Sheng temporarily took the position of the main general and mediated with the enemy. ”

"Dr. Shen."

"The minister is here!"

Shen Baoxu immediately stood up.

"You immediately set off for Xinzheng and force the Zheng people to make an alliance under the city, and recognize the land of the city captured by our Chu army as owned by the Chu State."

"This ......"

Shen Baoxu said embarrassedly: "King, the Zheng people were already unwilling to break the mountains and rivers, and they resisted stubbornly in the corner of Xinzheng City, and now there are Jin people behind their backs, and the ministers think that Zheng Hou will definitely not make an alliance under the city, and cede all the land in the city to my Chu State." ”

"Then, my Da Chu can only retreat to the next ......"

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the original plan, the Chu army on the front line is ordered to retreat first, garrison in the area of Changge and Wan, build fortifications, strengthen the city defenses, and mediate with the invading enemy army to the end." ”

"The Jin people only want to save Zheng Guo from the danger of losing the country, not have the obligation to help him recover the lost territory. The widow believes that it is absolutely impossible to do thankless work with the disposition of the martingale! ”

"The king is wise!"

……

At the same time.

Jinling, Wu Palace.

Qingji is sitting on the fishing platform in the Imperial Garden, fishing with great interest.

When there is nothing to do, Qingji can only pass the time by fishing, juju, hunting, playing chess, etc.

After all, there were not many entertainment activities in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At this time, Queen Ji Qi was also standing by Qingji's side, embroidering by herself, and not forgetting to gossip with Qingji.

Stealing half a day's leisure.

"King, Wei Wei Wu Zixu asks to see you."

At this moment, an attendant came to the Diaoyu Tai and prayed.

"Xuan."

"Yui!"

After a long time, Wu Zixu came to Qingji step by step under the guidance of the inner servant.

As soon as he saw Qingji and Ji Ko, Wu Zixu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Ministers, see the king, see the queen!" ”

"Zixu, don't be polite. Have a seat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Zixu sat on the futon on one side with half of his body, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve with low eyebrows, and said slowly: "King, this is the information from Xinzheng." ”

"Chu State Zuo Sima Shen Zhuliang went out to inspect and was assassinated!"

"Oh?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and did not immediately open the bamboo slip, but squinted his eyes and asked, "Did Mi Sheng do it?" ”

"The king is clever."

Wu Zixu praised it.

"Hehe, this Mi Sheng is really a careerist, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal."

Qingji smiled slightly, immediately opened the bamboo slip, looked at the narrative above, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Shen Zhuliang still has a big fate, and his fate should not be extinct." ”

From Qingji's tone, Wu Zixu couldn't tell whether Qingji was regretful or dissatisfied.

It is worth mentioning that the largest intelligence agency in Wu State, the "Black Ice Terrace", was mainly ordered by the CRRC Government at this time, and was in charge of Wu Zixu, the guard, and actually controlled the fine work of the Black Ice Platform in various countries.

As we all know, Heibingtai is an intelligence agency created by Qingji at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and in the north and south of the river, all the vassal states in the world have a relatively complete intelligence network, and they are directly responsible for Qingji alone.

Since Qingji has been very concerned about the war in Xinzheng recently, every move that happens there will be a special work to report to Jinling.

"Zixu, the widow thought that he had overestimated Mi Sheng before, but he didn't expect to underestimate him."

Qingji groaned and said, "This person has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he must not be controlled by others." If he succeeds in ascending to the throne of the king of Chu, even if he divides half of the Chu State, he can be the great enemy of my Wu State......"

Qingji looks up to Bai Gongsheng very much.

After all, Bai Gongsheng is indeed ambitious and talented.

For the state of Chu, Qingji would rather choose the young King of Chu Xiong Zhen as his opponent, rather than the opponent Bai Gongsheng, who is extremely deep in the city and does things without considering the consequences.

Because, Bai Gongsheng is a person who can fight hard with Wu Guo!

The most important thing is that a person with Bai Gongsheng's character will obviously not be willing to be driven by Wu Guo and become a puppet of Qingji.

"The king's meaning is ......"

Wu Zixu made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Qingji shook his head and said: "It's like an assassination, such a conspiracy that can't be put on the table, not to mention whether it can succeed or not, at least now the widow still needs a living Mi Sheng." ”
