Chu State, Jiangdong.

The fief of the top nobleman of the Chu State, the Xiang clan, was here.

Even if you don't talk about fiefdoms, there are many children of the Xiang clan in the lands that are set up as counties and directly belong to the Chu royal family.

In the land of Jiangdong, the co-rule of Xiongxiang is almost the consensus from the aristocracy to the common people.

Especially after the Chu State suffered repeated defeats and even lost Yingdu, the Xiang clan, which was located in the east of the Chu State, did not suffer any losses, and this trend became more and more obvious.

However, the Xiang clan did not enter the center of the Chu State by virtue of its dominant position, but continued to stay quietly in the land of Jiangdong.

The entire Chu State was arguing about the law, but the Xiang family still didn't say a word.

If it was decades ago, or hundreds of years ago, everyone believed that Xiang must have been a hardcore reformer.

But people's hearts are fickle, and no one knows which side they are leaning into.

The exquisite palace rooms, the magnificent continuous buildings, the prosperity of Xuanhe, the beautiful maids passing through it, and the plates are all kinds of delicacies, a rich and magnificent scene.

In the palace room, light smoke curled, and the two sat opposite each other.

Xiang Zeng said with joy on his face: "Father, the crown prince is really brave, in several battles, he rushed into battle and captured the flag, and he did not give Bai Qi the opportunity to mobilize the large army, and thwarted Bai Qi's offensive many times.

Some time ago, a businessman went to see Jingcheng with a heavy gift.

It seems that the Qin State is about to start slandering and confusing the Lord again. ”

For these treacherous methods of the Qin State, the Xiang family is clear, but I have to say that it is really easy to use.

Most of the people in the world are short-sighted and greedy, and the monarch is a meat eater, born in the palace, and cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

When Xiang Ju heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "My family has a deep heritage, and there is always a way to win desperately, you can go to Luoyi to see the prince."

The three families of Qu Jingzhao are really stupid, together with them, how can they govern the Chu State well?

To restore the Yingdu and prosper the Chu State, the Xiang family is still needed. ”

The last time Chu went to Luo, Xiang didn't come, which Luo Zai didn't expect.

This time the Xiang family came to the camp, which Luo Zai didn't expect.

Xiang Zeng saluted respectfully, "Prince, I wish you invincibility, and I wish you joy and health." ”

Luo Zai was curious and said with a smile: "The descendants of King Su will always be illuminated by the sun.

You came here from the Chu State, is there something important? ”

Xiang Zeng said straight to the point: "Prince, the Qin State sent people to bribe the Chu State Ling Yin and a group of important ministers with a lot of money, intending to provoke infighting in the already anxious Chu State.

This is a common method used by the Qin State, and with Xiang's understanding of the country, even if there is no provocation by the Qin State, an unexpected situation may occur at any time.

Now that the Qin State has invested a lot of money, it must be doomed that there will be chaos in the Chu State.

I'm worried about your coalition forces.

Bai Qi is a human slaughter, and there has never been a general as murderous as him before.

I really don't know what the outcome would be if he were to defeat the coalition forces. ”

A cold light flashed under Luo Zai's eyes, but he had already expected the situation in the Chu State, and the coalition forces had always had their own ghosts.

For so many years, only the alliance with Qi is still unbreakable.

But that's because the two sides have supported each other since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the entanglement of blood and interests is too deep.

Luo Zai said in a deep voice: "You came to the camp, naturally you didn't come for these words, the Xiang clan of Chu State, after 700 years in Chu, did not forget King Su, which was praised by the ancestors of the past dynasties."

You and I are both descendants of King Su, and now we are facing Qiang Qin together, so we don't need to hide it like this. ”

King Su.

Xiang was in a trance for a moment, although he wanted to overthrow Bang Zhou and make Chu a new country that inherited heaven and was ordained, but Xiang's belief in King Su was still very firm.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the firm belief in King Su that the Xiang family has unswervingly assisted the Chu royal family for hundreds of years.

For the Xiang family, which has lost the blessing of their ancestors, it is really a miracle that the family lineage can maintain a unified will for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zeng put away those hypocrisies and politeness, and said bluntly: "Prince, you are a peerless commander who can fight against Bai Qi, so Xiang decided to put all the treasures on you."

In the face of the powerful Qin State, do you want to fight with the blood and lives of the brave warriors?

Those are all the descendants of King Su, and they are all blood relatives of our clan, so I guess every time you see the casualties of the brave soldiers, your heart will be cut like a knife.

The Xiang clan is willing to solve problems for you, draw elites from the fiefdom, drive for you, and charge with you, and even the descendants of the Xiang clan will enter the battlefield.

In return, Xiang will provide you with a list of Chu nobles who have received bribes from Qin and may hold you back in the ensuing war.

If you want, you can take them out while fighting the Qin State, and removing these unstable factors will also improve the strength of your coalition army. ”

Luo Zai didn't expect Xiang Zeng to fight this idea, there are troubles within the country, and they are going to attack a powerful country.

Hundreds of years ago, this method was used when the Secretary of State of Qi wanted to seize power in the country, and in the end, the Office of Qi State countered the Qing clan with the help of Duke Yi, and still used this method.

Xiang did it more secretly, through Luo Zai's hands to complete this, and Xiang also had to let his children enter the army.

This is not only to show the attitude of living with Luo's, but also to gild his own children.

Once the war against Bai Qi was won, Xiang would gain a lot of military merits.

According to the habits of the Chu State, more fiefdoms can be obtained, and the power and strength in the hands of the Xiang clan will expand more and more.

Xiang Zeng said again: "Prince."

Over the years, Xiang Shi has looked at the situation of Chu State, and he has been crying every time, presumably the Luo family helped Zhou in the same state of mind in the past.

Xiang sat back and watched the Qin State capture Yingdu, which was the royal capital of the Chu State for nearly a thousand years, and his father was like a knife every time he talked about it.

The Xiang clan was eager to take back the capital city immediately, but the time was not ripe, and they could only fall into the whirlpool of political struggle again.

After thinking about it, he finally decided on this plan, first to eliminate their elite abroad, and then the Xiang family was ready to directly sue the king for accepting bribes and attempting to betray the country.

With Xiang's connections and political credibility in the Chu State, in the face of ironclad evidence, the king will definitely obey.

At that time, they will be able to kill or belittle the nobles and deprive them of their fiefdoms, just like arrows in the past.

If the Chu State changes the law again, it will definitely become stronger, and it will be able to contain more energy of the Qin State.

The only drawback of this method is that once it cannot be controlled, the national strength of the Chu State will be greatly damaged.

Now that the Qin State has become so strong, at this time, the vitality is greatly damaged, and the family is worried that the Chu State will not be able to survive the moment when the law change is successful.

So I haven't done it all the time.

Until I meet an unparalleled commander like you, the time is finally ripe.

As long as you can defeat the Qin State and make the Qin State dare not go east, the Chu State will have a chance to breathe.

And you'll be able to control every inch of the battlefield and accomplish your plan to wipe out their armies.

Only with your help can Xiang's goal be achieved.

Please also lend a hand, this is a request from the small sect of Luo's that branched off seven hundred years ago.

I really want to be in Yingdu, and hear the Chu people singing again, the gods of King Su are in the sky, and they are glorious and famous for thousands of years. ”

After the Chu State changed the law to restore its strength, the first thing to do was to recover Yingdu, so it would definitely confront the Qin State, which was also to relieve the pressure on the Zhou family.

There is no need for Luo Guo to make a move, in fact, Luo Zai doesn't know how long he can live now, and there is always a trace of gloom in his heart that can't be dissipated.

Luo Zai sighed with emotion: "Your request is so reasonable, can I refuse?"

Can you tell me that the Xiang clan is not in the Luo Kingdom, but can maintain this enthusiasm for 700 years, how did your ancestors do it? ”

Regarding Luo Zai's question, Xiang Zeng was also a little confused, and said uncertainly: "It seems that he was born like this, and his family has been taught like this since he was a child, and he wants to fight for the Mandate of Heaven for the Chu State after the Mandate of Heaven of Bang Zhou lands." ”

Xiang Zeng did not shy away from the fact that Bang Zhou's destiny was going to land, because this was something that everyone could see, but no one knew when.

Everyone was tempting, and in the end, Qin Wangdang and Han Wangbo used their lives to tell the world that it was not the right time.

Luo and Xiang made a plan in this way, and sat back and watched the Chu army become chaotic, giving Bai the illusion that the plan was successful.

Then the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the real army of Chu suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which must have been a scene of destruction.

I have true love for Chu State
