Chapter 15: King Huai Chooses a General [Asking for Subscription]
Song Yi's return completely subverted Mi Xin's decision, instead of reinforcing Zhao State, it is better to wait and see what happens, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, this is a wonderful strategy,
But to some extent, Mi Xin has exposed his fear of the Xiang family, although Xiang Zhuang didn't say anything about it, but Mi Xin knows very well that he has lost Xiang Zhuang's loyalty.
Xiang Zhuang also knows that no matter how hard he tries, it is difficult to recover his distrust and jealousy of the Xiang family.
Xiang Zhuang also left the palace of the king of Chu, he meditated alone in the study for a day, only to figure it out, at this time, Xiang Zhuang sat in a spacious carriage, today is the Xiang family's clan meeting, the clan will be initiated by his uncle Xiang Bo, want to discuss how the Xiang family should deal with it, the current embarrassment of the Xiang family in the Chu country,
Early in the morning, Kong Ji hurried to Xiang Bo's mansion, he would arrange some matters in advance, and help Xiang Bo Zhang Luo by the way,
Xiang Zhuang stared out of the window at this time, the voices of people were boiling, and there was an endless stream, this metropolis that carried the dream of his uncle Xiang Liang was so prosperous, and Xiang Liang also started the various battles of the Central Plains from here, but in the end, Xiang Liang was defeated and died under the Dingtao City, and the king of Chu, who he personally stood up, ruthlessly suppressed his most loyal Xiang family army,
Everything has a reason, Xiang Zhuang knows that this kind of thing can't be blamed entirely on Qi Xin, nor can it be blamed entirely on Xiang Yu's violence, it can only be said that it is caused by the imbalance of power in the Chu State.
The carriage was still moving forward, and Cao Feng, who was unwilling to be lonely, sighed beside him: "Brother Xiangzhuang, do you really plan to leave Pengcheng, if we leave, it will be difficult to come back,"
Cao Feng interrupted Xiang Zhuang's contemplation, at this time Xiang Zhuang had already retracted his thoughts and looked at Cao Feng, and couldn't help but smile curiously: "Who told you that I was leaving Pengcheng,"
Cao Feng saw Xiang Zhuang asking herself, she couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart, she was just hearsay, at this time, Xiang Zhuang didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, so she had to lower her head and muttered: "It's self-interest that they chat, I heard it,"
"Do they dare to talk about military politics," Xiang Zhuang was slightly angry, Cao Feng suddenly found that he seemed to be in trouble, if he was implicated in everyone and punished because of his unintentional words, how would he mix in the army in the future, thinking of this, Cao Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, they just said it in passing, I heard it, they didn't talk about it at all, Brother Xiang Zhuang, don't misunderstand,"
Cao Feng was so anxious that he almost cried, Xiang Zhuang patted Cao Feng on the shoulder lovingly, and said with a smile: "But what they said is right, I did consider evacuating Pengcheng and returning to Baht County, not only me, but I am afraid that everyone in the Xiang family has considered leaving, so this clan meeting will be held in the third uncle's mansion today, do you understand?"
Cao Feng thought for a moment, but she really didn't understand the meaning of Xiang Zhuang's words, so she had to shake her head,
Looking at her, Xiang Zhuang sighed helplessly,
There is another street, it is Xiang Bo's mansion, Xiang Zhuang's thoughts gradually, and returned to the court, if the Xiang family really gave up Pengcheng and left gloomily, I am afraid that by then, Mi Xin will really become a lonely person,
Just when Xiang Zhuang was feeling the instability of the political arena of Chu in his heart, outside the carriage, a personal guard's announcement suddenly sounded: "General, the palace of Chu has sent a message, the king wants all officials to rush to the palace of Chu within half an hour, Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu and others have already gone to the palace of Chu first, today's clan meeting, suspended,"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang nodded, and the guards left, at this time, Xiang Zhuang stopped the carriage, looked at Cao Feng and said with a smile: "The king of Chu is in such a hurry to hold a meeting, I'm afraid something happened, you go back to the house first,"
"Brother Xiang Zhuang is going alone, or I'll accompany you...... "Cao Fenggang wanted to say something more, Xiang Zhuang had already waved his hand and smiled: "If I really decide to leave, I will accompany you back to Huiji to see Uncle Cao, you go back and prepare,"
Cao Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that Xiang Zhuang wanted to go back to Huiji, but soon she was gloomy again, and couldn't help pouting: "Hmph, when you go back to Huiji, you must go to see her, so I'm not fooled,"
Seeing Cao Feng like this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing heartily, at this time, a relative outside the carriage sent the reins, Xiang Zhuang patted Cao Feng lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You girl, don't talk nonsense, I'll go first,"
Xiang Zhuang left the carriage, flew on the horse, and accompanied by several relatives, hurried towards the palace of the king of Chu.
,,,,,,
Chu Palace, the dull bell rang, the military generals have been away from the main hall, soon, Mi Xin in the inner servants, hurriedly walked in, he looked excited to sit down next to the imperial case, then Baiguanshan shouted: "May my king be a thousand years old and a thousand years old,"
Qi Xin was in a good mood, he laughed and waved his hand: "Come on, everyone,"
"King Xie," everyone got up one after another, each standing in their own positions, at this time, Qi Xin's eyes swept around the hall, and seeing that everyone had arrived, he nodded slightly, looked at the neighbors on the side, and ordered: "Read it,"
The people respectfully gave the king of Chu a salute, took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and read it: "The king of Chu has a heart, this edict is hereby issued, the Great Qin is strong, trying to destroy the six countries, paying heavy taxes, and destroying the lives of the people, which has caused the world to disturb, the clouds rise in all directions, and the world has ...... decided to send a general to lead the army to the west, and directly attack Hangu, the Qin State can be destroyed, and the ministers know it, and it is hereby "
After reading this edict, there was a heated discussion in the hall, many people agreed with it, and many people were worried about the soldiers entering Hangu, back then, Zhou Wen was so defeated,
But no matter how everyone talks, no one has come out to ask for their lives, especially the Xiang family, Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu are looking at the jokes with cold eyes, the Xiang family has been a Chu general for generations, and the reputation is great, and this time the restoration of the Chu State is also won by the Xiang family's expedition to the west, but the Xiang family just used the Xiang family to open the knife, and the Xiang family did not come out to receive the order, so naturally no one else would stand up.
Time passed little by little, but no one was willing to ask for orders to go west, and anger gradually appeared on Qi Xin's face, could it be that except for Xiang Jiajun, there was no one available to him,
Thinking of this, Mi Xin's eyes couldn't help but fall on Lu Chen, only to see him bow his head and remain silent, as if he didn't want to take this errand at all.
Mi Xin looked at Xiang Yu and the others again, and saw that they had their own merits, as if they were laughing at themselves, and Mi Xin was even more annoyed in his heart,
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he got up suddenly, and just thought that he was about to go on the expedition, on the side, Song Yi, who had always been silent, walked out of the court and said, "King, please let me say a word,"
Song Yi came out to the rescue, Qi Xin's face softened a little, and at this time, he glanced at everyone in the hall, and then he suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered: "Song Qing might as well say it directly,"
Song Yi smiled and nodded, turned around to look at everyone, and said loudly: "Guanzhong is dangerous, not as dangerous as Guandong, we can understand this, besides, the army is pressing, once it enters the customs, it is equivalent to a dagger, directly stabbing the key points of the Qin State, and the Qin army will definitely rush into the Guanzhong in large numbers, this is inevitable, especially Zhang Han, who is in Zhao Di, how can he let the Chu army enter the pass, his return to the army is inevitable,"
When Song Yi said this, he paused to speak, and he was shocked, he didn't know why Song Yi said this, once everyone was afraid, who else would be willing to lead the army into the customs,
Mi Xin wanted to interject, but Song Yi had already continued: "The root is still in Zhang Han's 400,000 army, however, we will send another army to contain Zhang Han, so the army that enters the pass will actually be very safe, and the king has already decided that the one who enters Xianyang first can be the king of Qin,"
Song Yi's last sentence of King Qin, surprised everyone, even Mi Xin, was extremely shocked, but the shock was only for a moment, Mi Xin quickly reacted, not allowed to be beneficial, who would be willing to enter the customs, besides, once entered the customs, it is a single soldier, in case the Qin army cut off the back road, the consequences are unimaginable, thinking of this, Mi Xin got up and promised to everyone: "The widow swears here today, the one who enters Xianyang first can be the King of Qin, Yongzhen Guanzhong,"
It is this promise that everyone sees hope, entering Xianyang, calling the king to cut the land, which many people dare not dream of, but the danger after entering the customs can also be imagined, winning, you can enjoy wealth forever, defeat, and you will also die without a place to bury, many people have ignited hope, but they have become hesitant,
At this time, the shouting of one person broke the discussion of everyone: "Great king, the last general is willing to go,"
Everyone looked intently, and the person who walked out was Liu Bang, at this time Liu Bang had already walked out of the court, and said to Mi Xin: "The warrior has fought a hundred battles, the horse leather shroud, can die in battle, and it is also strong, please allow the last general to march west,"
Although many people know that Liu Bang asked for his life to go west, to a certain extent, he took a fancy to the throne of King Qin, but his courage is worthy of everyone's praise.
The two of them have their own words, each willing to go west, Mi Xin was very happy in his heart, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I and you each have 50,000 soldiers and horses, you can go back to rectify, three days later, this king himself will give you a strong march,"
,,,,,,
If Liu Bang is interested in the throne of King Qin, he will ask for his life, then what about Xiang Yu, is he the same, many people think that Xiang Yu just wants to take this opportunity to regain military power,
After the end of the court meeting, everyone left, Chen Ying stayed at the request of Mi Xin, and several veterans, also stopped in the hall, did not leave, at this time Mi Xin felt physically and mentally exhausted, he got up and stretched, but saw several veterans who stopped in the hall, the first one, is Lang General Zhen Fu, responsible for the security of the palace, at this time he did not leave, Mi Xin guessed, he must have something to say, thinking of this, Mi Xin sat back on his soft seat, and said with a smile: "Several old generals, is there anything else?"
"King, we ...... I have something to say," Zhen Fu said with a little hesitation,
At this time, Qi Xin saw that Zhen Fu was hesitating, and couldn't help laughing: "The old general might as well say it directly,"
"Liu Bang is a loyal elder, he is old, he can treat his subordinates well, appease the people, and go west by him, we have no objection, but Xiang Yu is violent, where he passes, slaughters the people, kills innocents, if he waves his troops westward, even if he has to enter Guanzhong, it will set off a big wave, the casualties are unpredictable, the people in Guanzhong are unstable, even if Xianyang is captured, what is the use, please also ask the king Mingjian,"
After hearing this, Mi Xin couldn't help nodding slightly, pondering for a moment, and reassuring everyone: "This matter, the widow will consider it, you should retreat first,"
