Chu State, on the outskirts of Chen Ying.

30,000 soldiers were on standby, waving flags in the air, and there was no noise.

Looking at these soldiers, infinite pride surged in the heart of King Chu Wan, and the originally silent heart gradually became restless.

If he had a choice, he wanted to be a good monarch, weaken the feudal monarch, destroy Han Wei in the north, pacify Baiyue, recover the old capital, and revive the majesty of Great Chu.

Before, there was no way, but now he saw hope: these 30,000 soldiers were his capital.

According to the method of selecting military soldiers from Wu Qi that year, the king of Chu selected 30,000 good sons from all over the Chu state, measured the land for them, distributed ploughing cattle, rewarded them with money, and reduced or exempted agricultural taxes, so that they could concentrate on training.

In order to raise these money, the king of Chu emptied all the inner and outer treasury, and sold a large number of jewels and jade, plus the donations of Chunshenjun Huang Xie, Yangling Junzhuang Xin and others barely made it up.

Although the feudal monarch of Chu has the moths of the country, there are also capable people with lofty ideals who really want to strengthen the country.

"There's still a lack of a commander." Wang Wan of Chu said that the state of Chu is located in the south, unlike Zhao Qinyan and other countries close to the grassland, and has excellent cavalry seeds and generals who train cavalry.

Of these 30,000 soldiers, less than 1,000 could ride horses, and if they were not led by a general who could train cavalry, these 30,000 soldiers would always be just a decoration.

However, more than seventy percent of the generals of the Chu State came from the Jing, Qu, and Zhao clans, and the king of Chu was unwilling to let the three clans control this army.

"Then it's only Xiang's." Huang Xie said.

The Xiang clan is also a big clan in the Chu State, but it is still a little deficient compared to Jing, Qu, and Zhao, and the Xiang clan is not a Chu prince, in contrast, it is more dependent on the King of Chu.

"Who can be the general of the Xiang family?" King Chu asked.

"Xiang Pei." Huang Xie thought for a moment and said.

Although Xiang Pei has never led the cavalry, his riding skills are very good, and at this time he can only be short and tall.

"Xiang Pei dares to act, and he is loyal to the State of Chu, so he can take on great responsibilities." Yangling Junzhuang Xin stroked his gray beard and said.

As an old man who has dedicated his life to the Chu State, looking at the hope of the rise of the Chu State in front of him, Zhuang Xin couldn't help but smile.

He assisted the king of Chu Qingxiang back then, and scolded the king of Chu Qingxiang: "Monotony and extravagance, regardless of national politics, Yingdu will be in danger!" King Chu Qingxiang didn't listen, and angrily denounced him as "an old contradiction." ”

Zhuang Xin angrily went to Zhao.

Later, Sima Cuo and Bai Qi appeared, and the two successively defeated the Chu State, causing the Chu State to lose all the land west of Yunmengze and was forced to move the capital.

At this time, King Xiang of Chu called Zhuang Xin back from Zhao State, granted Zhigui a reward, and rewarded the land.

With the help of Zhuang Xin, it took two years for the state of Chu to accumulate strength and recover the fifteen cities along the Yangtze River of the state of Chu occupied by the state of Qin.

Now Zhuang Xin is already old, and he has to walk on crutches, and he was enjoying his old age at home, but after receiving a summons from the king of Chu, he rushed to Chen Ying from his hometown.

"Then Yang Lingjun will be the main general, in charge of everything, and Xiang Pei will be the deputy general, in charge of training." The King of Chu thought for a moment and spoke.

With an army of 30,000, it is impossible for him to trust it into the hands of one person, but it is not suitable for separate training, and there are not so many people who understand cavalry in Chu State, so he can only let Zhuang Xin be the main general and Xiang Pei be the deputy general.

Zhuang Xin is qualified enough, and he is already seventy or eighty years old, and he will not live for a few days, so there is no possibility of overriding him.

"If one day I can see the Chu State recover the old capital, the old man will die without regrets, and when he gets down, he can straighten his waist and scold the faint king of Qingxiang." Zhuang Xin knocked on the ground with his cane and said angrily.

There is no way for the king of Chu to answer this, if someone else says that his father is a faint king, the king of Chu will be slaughtered without saying a word, but Zhuang Xin said that he does not have any temper.

In the following period of time, the king of Chu learned from Wu Qi to rein in the hearts of the army, although he could not suck abscesses for ordinary soldiers, but every few days, he would go outside the city to talk to the soldiers and ask the soldiers what they needed.

Sometimes I even train with the soldiers.

Chu Wangwan is a big fat man, although he has not reached the point of breathing after walking a few steps, but the gap between him and the soldiers is still very large.

At first, he couldn't keep up with the training at all, and he was often so tired that he was spread on the ground, Huang Xie persuaded him to give up several times, as a monarch does not need this, and it will damage the majesty of the monarch.

"There is no way for the widow to take Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei outside, and the feudal lords in various parts of the country listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and even the ministers in the court are in the lake to make the king. How much benefit did he get from a trip to Zhao State, and the price of these war horses and ploughing cattle was really like what he said? ”

The widow didn't even dare to debunk this matter, so he could only pretend not to know, the Qu family, the Jing family, and the Zhao family, one by one, did not take the widow in their eyes at all. Thou hast told the widow, what majesty is the widow? The king of Chu finished roaring angrily.

"In the Battle of Changping in that year, Zhao sent people to Wei several times to ask for help, and even King Zhao, who was still the main general at that time, personally went to Wei to ask for a meeting with King Wei and was turned away. When King Zhao got married, King Wei and King Han ran to Handan, more attentive than Lao Tzu. Is it because Zhao Kuo is majestic? ”

"Some time ago, Qin Guo secretly sent people to Zhao State to compete for doctors, and after Zhao Guo learned about it, he immediately slaughtered them all, and I heard that Qin State also lost a major figure. Then he sent someone to burn down all the library pavilions built by Qin State, and Qin Guo didn't dare to put one, if it was placed five years ago, ten years ago, would it be this result? ”

"In this world, without strength, majesty is not as good as fart. If there is strength, Lao Tzu is lying on the street and sleeping, and others will come over to salute and respectfully say a word to meet the king. ”

When the king of Chu was not established, he fled back to Chu from Qin alone, and his pride as king had not been corrupted by the luxurious life.

He was never willing to be a waste, although the fear of the Qin State, the helplessness of the feudal lords and courtiers in various places, the overwhelm of the future, and the addiction to beauty and glory made him hesitate for a while, but this does not mean that he will eat and wait for death.

The dignified Qu family, who has been in charge of the Chu state for hundreds of years, sometimes doesn't even pay attention to him, the king of Chu, because the little benefit given by the Zhao state is like a dog wagging its tail.

This incident deeply stimulated the king of Chu, and one day, he would also let the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans kneel on the ground like dogs and wag their tails at him.

"Anyway, I've already lost enough people in the court, so it's nothing to throw it to these mud legs, I don't have any majesty in the first place."

At the beginning, the king of Chu was really embarrassed, he began to breathe after just a few steps, and fell on the last, Xiang Pei didn't dare to really reprimand, although the king of Chu said that it was good to treat him as an ordinary soldier, but Xiang Pei didn't dare to really believe it.

Those who truly believe are rewarded on the spot, and then they are slowly left out in the cold and will never be reused again.

It can be said that the king of Chu slowed down the training process of the army by himself, and even many soldiers secretly laughed at him behind his back, betting that he would give up in a few days.

However, the final result was beyond everyone's expectations, although Xiong Wan could only come to train for half a day every day because of government affairs to deal with, and sometimes he would leave early or not come because of urgency.

But he never gave up, so he stumbled and persevered.

The soldier's impression of the king of Chu has completely changed, if it is said that in the past, he only supported the king of Chu and fought for the king of Chu because of the fields and money he was rewarded.

Now as long as the king of Chu is here, they are willing to shed the last drop of blood for the king of Chu.

This is their monarch and their comrade.
