Chapter 628: Legacy [Asking for Subscription*Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"It's really time to clean up these Nanban!" Wu Rui is the most supportive.
Dongting is his hometown, and Changsha is still the county seat of Dongting County, but because they have just entered the Chu State, this group of southern barbarians dared to attack and disturb the surrounding areas of Changsha.
"Songyang City will leave five thousand soldiers to defend, and the rest of the dragon guards will be transferred back to Dragon City!" Jin Yao opened his mouth and gave an order.
Long Cheng and Chu are all safe, and no one will interfere with anyone!
Xiang Yan was also relieved to see that Long Wei did not attack to stop him, and ordered a rapid march to rush back to Shouchun.
When he returned to Shouchun, he was already the whole city, Changping Jun Xiong Qi inherited the throne and held a grand funeral for King Chu Wan, and King Chu Wan's nickname did not change because of the arrival of Jin Yao, he was still King Chu Kaolie!
After Xiong Qi returned to the Chu State, he temporarily deterred the magnates of the Chu State by relying on the army brought back by Surabaya County, but it was still a turbulent undercurrent and many magnates hoped that the son of the concubine would inherit the throne, rather than him, the son who had served the Qin State for many years, to inherit the throne.
It was only because Xiong Qi had the edict and national seal of King Wan of Chu in his hand that these powerful people had to admit it.
But the situation in Chu State, Xiong Qi is also very clear, even if there is an edict of succession, this group of magnates really wants to do it, and they don't care if you have it or not.
Just like Wu Qi back then, these magnates were ruthless, daring to kill people at the king's funeral, and even didn't care about damaging the king's body.
Therefore, Xiong Qi transferred Xiang Yan back not only because he wanted to go north to subdue Tangxi and Surabaya County, but also to get the support of Xiang Yan and the army, otherwise his throne would not last long!
Xiang Yan actually thinks a lot, he knows that when he returns to Shouchun this time, what awaits him will be the impeachment of the magnates, and even the Xiang family will be exterminated.
Because of this expedition, he offended so many nobles that any king would sacrifice him to appease the wrath.
Therefore, on the way back of the army, Xiang Yan had already thought of a way to retreat, and asked his cronies and guards to return to Jiangdong in advance and smuggle his clansmen away from Chu.
"But the world is so big, where can you go?" Xiang Bo looked at Xiang Yan and asked.
Qin and Han Wei are in a big war, and it is not realistic to send them to Han Wei, and it is even more impossible as for Qin, the only choice is Qi State.
However, the Xiang clan's station is in Jiangdong, and if they want to send it to the Qi State, they have to pass through the entire Chu State, and it is absolutely impossible for those nobles to let them pass the customs safely.
Xiang Yan closed his eyes silently, the world is so big, there is actually no place for his Xiang clan to settle down!
"Send it to Dragon City!" Xiang Yan thought for a long time before he opened his eyes and said seriously.
"Dragon City?" Xiang Bo looked at Xiang Yan in disbelief, they had just had a hard fight with Long Cheng and sent them to Long Cheng, would Long Cheng really accept them?
"Gongzi Cheng Chan's heart is not in Qin, otherwise it would not allow us to withdraw safely, so I conclude that Gongzi Cheng Chan attaches more importance to the safety of Dragon City, and the status of Dragon City in Cheng Chan's heart is higher than that of Qin State!"
"Therefore, even if he knew that you were my people, he would not trouble you!" Xiang Yan explained.
"Then are we going to hide our identities and pretend to be refugees to infiltrate Dragon City?" Xiang Bo hesitated.
In fact, what he wanted was to pretend to be a refugee, blend into Dragon City, and then slowly accumulate strength.
"No need, Dragon City's reverence for Cheng Chan is indescribable, if you have any action in Dragon City, Cheng Chan will soon be informed, but it is the real way to die." Xiang Yan said.
"Moreover, in my opinion, Cheng Cheng should learn from the Mo family, and he can't do anything that harms his wife and children!"
"You must act quickly, at least before I am dismissed and imprisoned, you must rush to Dragon City, otherwise no one will be able to save the Xiang clan!"
Xiang Yan continued, now that he still has a large army in his hands, even if the nobles from all sides want to trouble him, they don't dare to do it now, he can still deter those nobles.
But once he returns to Shouchun, that group of nobles will definitely remove his military power as soon as possible, and send him to prison, and at that time, he will no longer have any ability to protect the Xiang clan.
"Whoa!" Xiang Bo nodded, took the personal guards of the Xiang clan, left the camp, and rushed towards Jiangdong.
Xiang Yan did not return to Shouchun, but in the palace of Shouchun, the notes of impeachment and questioning were already full of Xiong Qi's notes.
And there is reason and evidence, Lei Leopard, Tenglong, and Shui Shi were all wiped out, and Xiang Yan was the first to blame, which cannot be excused.
Secondly, it is also a fact that the powerful generals are imprisoned.
However, under Xiang Yan's military power, who in Chu has the ability to run the army?
Xiong Qi has a headache, if his brother Xiong Yi is still alive, then without Xiang Yan, Xiong Yi can also be in charge of the army, the problem is that Xiong Yi was killed, and the huge Chu State can't find a general who can stand alone.
The most important thing is that Xiang Yan was also mentioned in the edict and secret letter given to him by King Wan of Chu, and Xiang Yan was regarded as an auxiliary minister of Tuogu!
"Father, this is going to lift the table!" Xiong Qi sighed.
The secret letter given to him by the king of Chu was to make him trust Xiang Yan, and with the help of the army in Xiang Yan's hands, he would completely cleanse the entire court of Chu and firmly control the Chu State in the hands of the king.
However, what the king of Chu said in his letter was that Xiang Yan would take advantage of the great victory, support himself as king, and then purge the magnates.
And now, Xiang Yan did not win a big victory, and he lost a complete defeat, and even the sailor was folded in!
Therefore, Xiong Qi also had to reserve his opinion on his father's arrangement.
If Xiang Yan really returns from a great victory, naturally no one will dare to impeach him, and even avoid his edge, Xiong Qi will naturally be able to follow the last orders of King Wan of Chu to cleanse the entire Chu court.
"Where's the general?" Xiong Qi raised his forehead and asked the guard.
He didn't even dare to believe the palace guards, and all of them were replaced by the swordsmen of the Book of Poetry that he brought back from the Qin State.
"There are still thirty miles away from Shouchun, and you can reach the royal city at noon tomorrow!" The head of the sword replied in a low voice.
Xiong Qi nodded, and then said in a low voice, "Go out of the city with loneliness, don't tell anyone!" ”
"Whoa!" The head of the Shijing Sword immediately went to arrange, and then took Xiong Qi to take advantage of the night to secretly leave the royal city and go to the place where the army was camped.
Xiang Yan also received a secret letter from the swordsman of the Book of Poetry, quietly left the camp, and met Xiong Qi, who had lived in the Qin State for many years, outside the camp.
"The last general will meet the king!" Xiang Yan didn't expect Xiong Qi to come to see him in advance.
Xiong Qi helped Xiang Yan up, then looked at Xiang Yan carefully, and finally nodded, sure enough, as his father said, he was the only person he could trust now.
"The army is under the control of the general?" Xiong Qi directly asked the key question.
Xiang Yan was stunned, looked at Xiong Qi, and knew very well what Xiong Qi's control meant, but how to answer was another matter.
If Xiong Qi trusts him, then he can answer that the army is completely under his control.
If Xiong Qi was jealous of him, then this answer would make him die faster.
Therefore, Xiang Yan's eyes flickered, and she didn't know how to answer.
