Some things, once they start, are like a galloping carriage, and no one can easily stop them.

For example, killing the emperor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Chao, before his death, the emperor and powerful ministers still maintained their superficial decency.

Even a deceased monarch like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was able to get a good death in the position of the Duke of Shanyang.

He lived longer than his eldest brother Cao Pi.

Cao Chao's death seems to have opened a "Pandora's box".

After more than 160 years of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the emperor became less and less valuable, less valuable than leeks, and the first thing the ministers did when they ascended the throne was to kill the emperor of the previous dynasty.

Liu Yu just made a start.

Sima Dewen's death obviously didn't make much splash compared to Cao Chao.

Once there is no future trouble in killing the emperor, the benefits are very high.

This has made many people see the "business opportunity" in it.

As the so-called heaven is a good reincarnation, who is spared by the sky.

Four years later, Liu Yu died, and the young emperor Liu Yifu succeeded to the throne, and the powerful minister Xu Xianzhi united with Tan Daoji to oust Liu Yifu from the emperor and assist Liu Yu's third son Liu Yilong to ascend the throne.

In order to prevent the young emperor from having a chance to turn over, Xu Xianzhi found an excuse to kill the young emperor.

Liu Yifu's father-in-law was Sima Dewen, the murdered Emperor Gong of Jin.

Since then, in the hearts of the ministers, killing an emperor has become a preferred choice with less investment and high returns.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the emperor became a high-risk occupation.

And the initiator of all this is Chengji to kill the noble townsman, which made later generations of powerful ministers see that the emperor can also be killed......

Can Qingji kill Xiong Zhen now?

Yes, just not necessarily.

Qingji can completely raise Xiong Zhen and raise the direct descendants of the Chu State.

By the time Wu realizes the unification, it doesn't matter whether he kills or not!

"King Wu, do you know? In fact, at the beginning, the widow planned to commit suicide and martyrdom, do you know, what happened to make the widow change his mind? ”

Xiong Zhen asked with interest.

"I want to hear about it."

"Hehe, it's your two sons."

Xiong Zhen chuckled lightly and said, "As your enemy, the widow has to admit that the princes of King Wu are indeed very good!" ”

"However, all the sons of Wu are dragons and phoenixes among people, how should you choose King Wu?"

"Liyan? Standing long? Lixian? ”

“……”

Qingji was silent for a moment, then took a deep look at Xiong Zhen, and said slowly: "Marquis Jing Chu, this is a family affair of the widow, and the state affairs of the Wu State are not something you can criticize." ”

"I'm sorry."

Xiong Zhen sneered and said, "King Wu, the widow just wants to tell you about that ......"

"Last night, just west of Ji Nan Mountain, the widow saw with his own eyes that your eldest son, Wu Heng, was ready to swing his sword and kill his half-brother Wu Hong."

"If it weren't for the widow's strong dissuasion, I'm afraid that your eldest son would have died tragically under Wu Heng's sword!"

Hearing this, Qingji's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

Are you sure?

Is that true?

Qingji couldn't help but be suspicious.

Wu Wang Qingji is suspicious by nature, which is a well-known thing.

As an emperor, Qingji's suspicious character is understandable.

It's just that now Xiong Zhen is going to take advantage of Qingji's character to make their father and son kill each other, and no matter how bad it is, they can separate Qingji and Wu Heng.

Even if Wu Guo will not stage the tragedy of father and son killing each other and causing Xiao Wall in the future, at least Xiong Zhen can be disgusted with Qingji.

You must know that once the seeds of doubt are planted, one day, they will take root and sprout.

Qingji realized this, waved his hand and said, "Xiong Zhen, the widow and Wu Heng, how can you be separated?" ”

"If you dare to criticize again, don't blame the widow for being unkind to you."

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen just smiled and said slowly: "King Wu, then let's wait and see!" ”

"The widow will keep his life and see if there will be a dispute between the concubines and concubines in the Wu Kingdom, and the internal fighting of Xiao Wall!"

“……”

Qingji was silent and did not speak.

In fact, Qingji also realized that none of his sons were simple characters.

Especially the elderly Wu Hong, Wu Heng, Wu Fan, and Wu Xi, even if they don't have the heart to seize the throne, they are afraid that the people behind them will spare no effort to help them......

It's time to think about Lichu!

……

After resting in Yingdu for three days, the Wu army headed towards the Jingshan area, where the remnants of the main force of the Chu army were located.

Shen Zhuliang knew that with the precipitousness of Jingshan, he could not resist the powerful offensive of the Wu army, so he stored grain in Yancheng, gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, and prepared to fight the Wu army to the death.

Yancheng was a state in the Xia Dynasty.

When the Zhou Dynasty was established, it was Luo and Yandi.

Later, this area was annexed by the state of Chu and divided into Siyu, Yan, and Yanyi.

The general location of Yancheng, along the Han River, across the bank is Deng, and downstream are Lu, Luo and other cities.

For the cities near Yancheng, the Wu army did not choose to attack, but concentrated all superior forces and surrounded Yancheng.

At this time, on a hill outside Yancheng, Qingji was surrounded by a number of generals such as Sima Sun Wu, Imperial Historian Wu Zixu, and Tingwei Bo Tuo, and climbed high and looked into the distance.

Standing here, you can see the side of Yancheng.

"It's not easy to conquer Yancheng."

Qingji shook his head and said: "The widow has long heard that the Chu people plan to use Yancheng as the accompanying capital, and if our Wu army attacks one day, it can be a place of mediation." ”

"This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so what can I do?"

Hearing this, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and other generals present couldn't help but look at each other and didn't dare to speak.

Fan Li thought for a moment, and then said: "King, now that Xiong Zhen has been captured by our army, why doesn't the king let Xiong Zhen come forward and persuade the Chu army to surrender?" ”

"Impossible."

Qingji waved his hand and said: "Not to mention whether Xiong Zhen will come forward, even if he comes forward, with his bloody nature, I am afraid that he will call on the Chu army to fight with my Wu army to the last man." ”

"Besides, the widow heard that Shen Zhuliang, Mi Ji and other Chu generals have already established Zixi as the king of Chu...... This is probably a sign that the Chu people intend to resist to the end. ”

"This ......"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other speechlessly.

At this time, Gongzi Heng, who was standing on the side, said slowly: "Father, I don't know how much grain the Chu army has in Yancheng?" Is there a possibility of a protracted war? ”

Hearing this, Qingji just shook his head and said, "It's not impossible." ”

"Earlier, the Chu people had already stocked up a lot of grain in the Jingshan and Yancheng areas, which were originally an important production area of the Chu State, and there was no shortage of grain ......"

Gongzi Heng sighed and said, "If that's the case, my Wu army has to fight this tough battle." ”

Fighting alone, how long can the Chu people last?

Under the rule of Qingji, the Wu army fought and killed for many years, and its combat power was extremely strong, and it was good at attacking fortified positions, and it was not timid in the wilderness.

It's just that this siege battle is too tragic.

If the Chu army has to resist stubbornly and fight to the last man, I don't know how many casualties the Wu army will have to pay in order to lay down this fortified city!
