Chapter 629: Terrifying [Asking for a Subscription * Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Xiong Qi, who had been immersed in the officialdom of the Qin State for many years, couldn't see Xiang Yan's hesitation, but he also knew very well that no matter how he explained it now, it would be difficult for Xiang Yan to let down his guard.
If you can dig out your heart and lungs just after you meet, then it's either Xiang Yan is stupid, or she is messing with herself in the lake.
"Lonely, you need the support of the general!" Xiong Qi spoke again.
Xiang Yan raised his head and looked at Xiong Qi, if Xiong Qi asked him about the military power in his hands, or his opinion on other nobles, he could still be sloppy, and he could get the lake over.
But Xiong Qi didn't, but directly said his current situation, and also let Xiang Yan stand.
However, Xiang Yan also knew that he had offended the magnates of the Chu State now, and there was no choice.
Unless Xiong Qi is willing to protect him, otherwise when he returns to Shouchun, his end is already doomed.
For Xiang Yan, Xiong Qi is also his only choice, because Xiong Qi has been in the Qin State for too long, so he has no foundation in the Chu State.
"Yan, meet the king!" Xiang Yan finally knelt on both knees, bowed down, and knocked on the back of his hand.
Xiong Qi looked at Xiang Yan's salute and didn't stop it at the first time.
In this era, there is no need for the monarch and the minister to bow when they meet, and even if they do, it is the monarch and the minister to worship, not like they are now, one standing, one kneeling.
Therefore, such a great gift also represents surrender, and one party is willing to become a retainer of the other!
Xiong Qi waited until Xiang Yan finished bowing before he hurriedly squatted down and helped Xiang Yan up, "Why did the general make this big gift!" ”
"The king can rest assured, Yan is ordered by the first king to command the army, and there are 150,000 troops, of which 30,000 are left in Songyang to prevent the attack of Dragon City, all under the control of Yanzhi!" Xiang Yan confessed to Changping Jun at this time.
Xiong Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiang Yan's words, the 50,000 troops he brought back from Surabaya County were also under his control, but these were Qin people and Qin troops after all, and there were not a few who escaped on the way back to Shouchun.
And among the Shouchun, there are also 30,000 royal city guards left by King Chu Kaolie, which is an army that is absolutely loyal to the king of Chu, and naturally it also fell into his hands.
Therefore, in this way, they have 200,000 usable soldiers in their hands.
If Xiong Qi is willing and necessary, he can also issue a conscription order in Chu State, and then he can pull out another 200,000 troops.
This is also the reason why Jin Yao is unwilling to fight to the death with the Chu State.
After all, the foundation of Longcheng is too weak, even if it can defeat Chu State once, Longwei's loss will not be small, and Chu State can have troops and baggage supplies at any time, but Longcheng can no longer get any supplements, and even if this battle drags on, Longwei will be dragged down because of the lack of baggage grain and grass.
"Yan still has to remind the king that Dragon City should not be underestimated, and he can't even let the other party develop!" Xiang Yan looked at Xiong Qi and continued to remind.
In his opinion, Han Wei needs support, but he can't let Longcheng develop, otherwise, regardless of whether they can save Han Wei under the offensive of the Qin army, just if Longcheng develops, it will become a bridgehead for Qin to attack Chu.
"Adult?" Xiong Qi frowned.
"The king has been in the Qin State for many years, what do you think of Cheng Chan?" Xiang Yan also wanted to know Jin Yao.
As Xiong Qi's nephew, Cheng Chan was still taken care of by Xiong Qi when he was in the Qin State, if anyone in the world knows Cheng Chan best, it should be Xiong Qi.
Xiong Qi was still frowning, if it was Cheng Chan before the Tunliu incident, he knew very well that it was a marionette in their hands, but after Tunliu, it seemed to be a different person and became a little resolute.
"I don't know, before the bloody night in Chang'an, Cheng Chan was like a flower in a greenhouse, protected by us everywhere, protected by Zhu Liting, but after experiencing the poisonous assassination, he seemed to be a different person!" Xiong Qi sighed.
If it was a former adult toad, the first time he escaped after being assassinated by Yan was definitely looking for himself, seeking his own refuge, or running to the palace to find the protection of Yingzheng.
But after the bloody night in Chang'an, Cheng Chan disappeared, and he also sent people to look for it, but he couldn't find it, and he knew that Cheng Chan at that time probably didn't trust anyone, so he fled.
It wasn't until later that they learned that Cheng Chan had fled to Taoism and sought refuge from Taoism.
Then, Cheng Chan seemed to have opened his eyes and did not return to Xianyang, or even to Qin.
directly and perfectly avoided a series of events caused by the reign of King Qin.
They originally planned to set up the Cheng Chan Group in the name of Cheng Chan after the Qin King took power, and contained and opposed each other with the Qin Wang Group, the Changxin Hou Chang Poison Group, and the Wenxin Hou Lü Buwei Group, so that the Qin State fell into internal strife.
But Cheng Chan didn't even return to the Qin State, so they had no benchmark for their position, so they could only follow Yingzheng to cut off the Empress Dowager Zhao group of Changxin Hou and weaken the Wenxin Hou Lü Buwei group.
What makes Xiong Qi feel most terrible is that even if they want to make trouble, they don't have the same heart as Ying Zheng, but they have to help Ying Zheng do these things.
And Ying Zheng also knew that they were not in Qin, but he still dared to give himself and Xiong Yi the position of phase and imperial historian.
Forget it, he and Xiong Yi actually had to honestly help Yingzheng to work and govern the Qin State.
Until now, Xiong Qi thinks that it is like a dream, they are obviously planning to do things in the Qin State and disrupt the government of the Qin State, but they don't know why, but instead they help Ying Zheng to govern the Qin State in an orderly manner.
There seems to be a figure in their hearts all the time telling them that King Qin is still guarding against you and is wary of you, so you have to work first, lower King Qin's vigilance, and then plan for the future.
Then he hypnotized himself like this, helping Yingzheng to govern the Qin State in an orderly manner.
"These two brothers ......" Xiong Qi thought of this, and finally found out how terrible the two brothers of the Qin State were.
Unknowingly, he can let the enemy help him work, and he is still desperate and meticulous, and his own people actually have no resistance, and they are willingly driven by the other party.
Even Lu Buwei, who has been constantly weakened by Yingzheng, is now dutifully helping Yingzheng to work, pulling it out when he needs it, and when he can't use it, he throws it home and says it.
But even so, Lu Buwei didn't have any resistance, and even felt that it was a fluke, and he was willing to do it!
"Terrible!" Xiong Qi said in a low voice, only those who have seen Yingzheng can understand the horror of the other party.
But even if he knew that he was sent by the other party, when he was a minister to Yingzheng, no one felt that he had been targeted and unjust, but felt that it was his honor and glory, and was impressed by the other party's bearing and mind.
It's scary to think about!
Whether it was their Chu family, Lü Buwei's prime minister's mansion, or the old nobles of the Qin State, they were all unknowingly disintegrated by Yingzheng.
Even they couldn't imagine that King Qin didn't kill anyone or exile anyone, but he could make these people willingly give up the rights in their hands, and then continue to dedicate their strength to the Qin State.
