Outside Shouchun City, in the camp of the Qin army.

Wang Jian looked at the military report delivered by Wei State. Wang Ben is the first time to be the commander of the army, and he is still the commander of a national army, how can Wang Qian, who is a father, not pay attention? After Wang Ben entered Wei, Wang Jian asked people to go to Wei to pay attention to the direction of the war at any time, and whenever Wei sent the Xianyang military report, he would scramble to see it.

It's a pity that Wang Jian was later assigned to the Chu State, but Ying Zheng also knew Wang Qian's thoughts, so he specially asked the person who delivered the military newspaper to copy two letters, one of which was sent to Wang Qian. Wang Ben's various performances after entering Wei, as well as Ziyou's subordinates who had been arranged by Ziyou a long time ago, made Wang Jian feel that it was the wisest choice in his life to let Wang Ben get close to Ziyou.

The backhand arranged by Ziyou greatly facilitated the attack of the Qin army, on the contrary, in some places that were not governed by Ziyou's disciples, the resistance encountered by the Qin army was particularly fierce, and Wang Ben also fought a lot of tough battles when he entered Wei.

"Actually defeated Lian Po? Not bad. It's a pity that Xin Pingjun, who was better able to fight with Wu Anjun in the past, is also prone to fainting when he is old. Wang Jian looked at the military newspaper and sighed, this military newspaper is the military newspaper of the Kaifeng War.

Lian Po overly believed in the existing information, and after the information was in hand, he did not conduct a careful examination, which is a big taboo for the commander. Of course, although this is the main reason for Lian Po's defeat, it is also inevitable, even if Lian Po sends people to investigate carefully, but the time it takes for Lian Po to pass the information back and forth is something that Lian Po can't afford to wait. If the Qin army was really burned with grain and grass, Lian Po was still hesitant, which was enough to give the Qin army a chance to breathe.

And what made Wang Jian feel that Lian Po was faint was because Lian Po did not prepare any back-up, completely pressed the Wei and Chu coalition forces, and did not leave any room for himself. This was a wrong strategy for the Wei-Chu coalition forces, which had a numerical advantage.

Instead, Wang Jian took out the military newspaper again, which recorded the process of Wang Ben's command of the battle, and any orders of Wang Ben were recorded in detail. Wang Jian looked at the content of the military newspaper, and frowned, Wang Ben's command in his opinion should not be wrong in some places, if it were not for the stronger combat effectiveness of the Qin army, the outcome of the battle of Kaifeng is still unknown.

"How far is it? These obvious mistakes have been committed, and when I go back, I will definitely give him a few sticks to teach him a lesson. Wang Jian said with a blowing beard, but the smile flashing in his eyes could not be hidden. In order not to worry Wang Qian, from the army to the court, no one told Wang Jian the news that Wang Ben was poisoned.

Wang Jian took out a pen and ink and wrote down Wang Ben's mistakes and opinions on the paper, as well as the correct approach, and after doing all this, Wang Jian got up and took out a box. The box was already full of military newspapers and paper. After folding the paper, Wang Jian carefully put the paper and the two military newspapers neatly into the box.

"General, Chu State Ling Yin, Li Yuan asks to see!" The voice of the soldier sounded outside the tent.

Li Yuan? What is he here for? Wang Jian was a little puzzled, but he didn't disappear, but said while closing the box and putting it up

"Let him come!"

"No!"

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Yuan walked into the camp with a smile, and after seeing Wang Qian, Li Yuan took the lead in saluting Wang Qian

"Meet the General."

"Lord Lingyi, I don't know what to do with Wang?" Wang Jian replied.

In terms of identity, Li Yuan, as the Lingyi and Great Sima of the Chu State, is much taller than Wang Qian, the general, but Li Yuan saw Wang Jian and took the initiative to salute without waiting for Wang Jian to get up, which is not in line with the etiquette law, and it is also a practice of surrendering his identity, but Li Yuan did not feel inappropriate, after all, hard fists are the true truth, and a weak country has no dignity.

"I heard that the general sent people to attack the city father, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Li Yuan looked at Wang Jian and asked.

Wang Jian was stunned in his heart, thinking that Li Yuan had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt. But he still replied with a smile

"That's right, Shouchun can't be attacked for a long time, I'm going to take down the city father first, cut off the way of the Jing family head who came back to help, and buy time for us to attack Shouchun."

"So that's the case, I heard that Confucianism in Qin is now dominated by Ram Confucianism, and it is quite popular with the King of Qin, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" Li Yuan sat down and said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Yuan looked like he was going to a friend to discuss Confucianism, Wang Jian was a little suspicious, could it be that he guessed wrong? Although he didn't know what Li Yuan's purpose was, Wang Jian began to speak

"Whether it's true or false, hundreds of schools of thought gather in Qin, and ram science is indeed very popular, but I don't know if the king likes it. The king treats all schools of thought equally, and will not listen to them because of the great power of Confucianism and Taoism, nor will he abandon them because of the decline of small sects such as Kanyu. ”

"King Qin's heart is in the world, and he will not be a hero based on his birth, and this kind of mind is worth learning from our King of Chu. I heard that the Confucian ram Confucianism is famous for its great revenge, and I can't help but think of the fact that the prime minister of the Qin State, Zhang Zi Zhang Yi was insulted in the city father, when the Chu Prime Minister framed Zhang Zi for stealing jade, and whipped him, it is said that the person who wanted to frame Zhang Zi at the beginning was the person of the Qu family, and the person who held the whip was the person of the Zhao family.

Later, Zhang Zi became the prime minister of Qin, entered Chu, and took revenge for stealing the country. I heard from the doorman that the ram Confucianism in the Qin State took Zhang Zi's deeds as an example and promoted his own doctrine, is it true? Li Yuan continued.

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Wang Jian glanced at Li Yuan deeply, and he now understood what Li Yuan's words meant. Zhang Yi was not humiliated in the city father, but in Yingdu. Li Yuan mentioned Zhang Yi, deliberately confusing Zhang Yi's humiliation, and said that Qu Zhao and the two families. Combined with the great revanchism of Ram Confucianism, it is obviously hinting that when the Qin army attacked the city father, it would take revenge on Qu Jingzhao's three families for Zhang Yi, in fact, to get rid of Qu Jingzhao's three families for Li Yuan.

But Wang Jian is not a fledgling hairy boy, he won't do anything that is not beneficial, so he said with a smile

"Yes, the ram Confucians do respect Zhang Zi, and they also respect King Zhaoxiang very much, and they even take the death of King Wu in Luoyang, and King Zhaoxiang killed Zhou to avenge his brother."

If you hint at me with the matter of Zhang Zi, then I will use the deeds of King Zhaoxiang to destroy Zhou as a deed, and I need to obey the king's orders to do this.

"Hahahaha, I have long heard that the general is the strongest general in the Qin State except for the Tai Lieutenant, but I didn't expect that the general is not only quite accomplished in the art of war, but also quite academically researched." Li Yuan said with a smile, he didn't expect Wang Jian and Xiang Yan to be the same people, not only have a strong ability to lead troops, but also a good hand in playing politics.

"I've just heard about it." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"I heard that the general likes to study the art of war on weekdays, and it just so happens that I have occasionally seen two volumes of the art of war written by my grandson himself, with his annotations on them." Li Yuan smiled and took out two rolls from his sleeve and wrapped them and gradually put them on the table.

"A gentleman doesn't take away people's love, since this is collected by Lord Lingyi, why am I embarrassed to take it?" Wang Jian said.

"Hey, as the so-called sword with hero, I don't know the art of war, these two military books are pearls in my hands, and they can only be carried forward in the hands of generals. Reading at night is harmful to the eyes, this is the night pearl treasured in the treasury of the Chu State at the beginning, put it in the dark room, bright as day, and it was also given to the general. Li Yuan said and took out another box and put it on the table.

After Li Yuan opened the box, suddenly two night pearls lit up the entire camp, and Wang Qian, who was suddenly illuminated by the bright light, closed his eyes, and Li Yuan hurriedly closed the box.

"I've admired the general for a long time, these are just gifts between friends, the general's brush is very special, can you give it to me?" Li Yuan picked up the brush on the table and said.

Seeing Li Yuan like this, Wang Jian also knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he nodded and said

"This brush is indeed a little uncertain, but it is the son of General Meng Wu, and it is improved by Meng Tian, and it is indeed easier to write than other brushes."

"Then thank you General, the State of Chu is about to enter a continuous rainy weather recently, and I am worried about the lack of a suitable brush to write the chapters, thank you General." Li Yuan arched his hand and said.

"As Lord Ling Yi said, the sword is worthy of the hero, and this brush will be given to the adult." Wang Jian said.

"Thank you so much." Li Yuan said with a smile, Li Yuan understood the matter, and Wang Jian agreed.

After Wang Jian and Li Yuan exchanged two more polite words, they left, and after Li Yuan left, Wang Qian's deputy general walked in.

"General, was it Chu State Ling Yi Li Yuan just now?" The adjutant asked.

"yes, why did you get back?" Wang Jian asked. The adjutant general was sent by him yesterday to attack the city father.

"The city has been captured, and the subordinates will come back to inform the general." Said the adjutant general.

"So fast?" Wang Jian was a little puzzled, the city father was the gateway to Shouchun, although it was not as strong as Shouchun, but it was impossible to capture it in one day.

"It's also strange to say, except for some resistance on the first day, the defenders of Shouchun didn't resist at all during the day today, and they took it in one fell swoop today, after entering the city, the local Qu Jingzhao three families wanted to meet the general, so I came back." Said the adjutant general.

"Also, the city father is the foundation of Qu Jingzhao's three clans, and the three families are everywhere, so it is naturally impossible for them to desperately defend the city."

Wang Jian quickly figured out the reason, most of the city fathers were members of Qu Jingzhao's three families, and they wouldn't do it if they went to the city wall to resist the Qin army, and no one from Qu Jingzhao's three families stood up to resist the Qin army, let alone other people. As for why Qu Jingzhao's three families have no fear, this has to mention the Chu family, the biggest relative of the Qin State. Most of the Chu family members of the Qin State are Chu people, and these people are either from the three families of Qu Jingzhao or have close ties with the three families, so they are not worried about whether the Qin army will attack them after capturing the city father.

"Now these people want to meet the general, are they not there?" The adjutant asked.

"Remember what the king said before we marched?" Wang Jian said.

"I understand, I'll send someone to do it." The lieutenant said.

"No, the State of Chu is different from other countries, the influence of the three families of Qu Jingzhao in the State of Chu is too great, if we rashly slaughter the clan, the entire State of Chu will be in turmoil, which is not conducive to our future rule." Wang Jian shook his head and said.

The influence of Qu Jingzhao's three families in the Chu State is self-evident, if they are killed rashly, it will cause turmoil in the entire Chu State, and the local Wuzhu people will try their best to incite the people to rebel. This is also why Qu Jingzhao's three families are now fish and meat, but Li Yuan didn't dare to use the knife himself, he needed a foreign force to destroy Qu Jingzhao's three families, and then Li Yuan would replace them.

"Shall we just let them go?" The adjutant asked.

"Naturally not, don't do anything to the three families for the time being, send someone to contact the head of the Zhan Tai family and the head of the Chen family, just say that Mr. Ziyou has something important to discuss!" Wang Jian said.

"No!"

After the lieutenant left, Wang Jian put the two volumes of the Art of War and the Night Pearl together into a large box, and then wrote with a wave, and when he finished writing, Wang Jian called his guards.

"Hurry up and present this letter and this box to the king!" Wang Jian said.

"No!"

At this time, in the city of Shouchun, in the palace of the king of Chu.

Negative sat on the throne, below were the Qu family patriarch and the Zhao family patriarch, and the negative family looked at the two people below with an extremely ugly face.

"The widow knows that you have a connection with Brother Wang Xiong Qi, and the widow doesn't care about this. Brother Wang and I are descendants of the authentic Chu royal family, and anyone can be in the position of King of Chu as long as he is not Xiong Hao. Now the Qin army and Li Yuan's army are outside the city, Shouchun is in danger, and now only Brother Wang can come to save Shouchun. Write some letters and send them to Brother Wang, begging him to come and save Shouchun. Said the necessitant.

The two patriarchs looked at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness, they were not afraid of the negative to know that they had private contact with Changping Jun, what could they do if they knew it? As for writing letters to ask for help, since Li Yuan and the Qin State attacked, they have sent people out at least three letters a day, but until now, without exception, they have all sunk into the sea without the slightest reply.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, his face became even more ugly, although he was the king of Chu in Shouchun, but in fact he was a puppet, and all the people in the Chu country with Shouchun as the center obeyed the orders of Qu Jingzhao's three families, and he was an ornament in the court. But he is also a descendant of the royal family of the Chu State, and the blood of the Chu kings of the past dynasties flows in his body, and now he has asked the two for help so humbly, but the attitude of the two completely angered him.

Thinking that since he ascended the throne, he has been completely regarded as a puppet, and if there is no response from the three families in the court, no one in the entire court will dare to reply, and even the food and clothing of the three families must be strictly controlled, and those who know know that he is the king of Chu, and I don't know that I think he is the pet of the three families!

"Do you really think that widows are easy to deceive?" He looked at the Qu family patriarch and the Zhao family patriarch with a gloomy face and said.

The two of them also saw that the negative was abnormal, and when they were about to say something, they clapped their hands, and the sound of armor colliding sounded outside the main hall, and as the door of the main hall was violently pushed open, the guards wearing armor and holding weapons rushed in.

When the Qu family patriarch and the Zhao family patriarch saw this scene, they immediately understood what they wanted to do, and their faces immediately changed dramatically, and they looked at the negative and asked

"What do you mean, my lord!?"

"What do you mean!? Do you really think that the widow will not dare to lift the table? Or do you really think that you are the master of the Chu State!? He kicked the table in front of him and said angrily.
