Chapter 454, changing generals on the spot

Xiong Qi sat calmly on the throne without moving, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

Guo Kai also seemed to be out of the matter, as if the chaotic quarrel in his ears did not exist.

Xiong Qi looked at the ministers who were still arguing below, and he was also thinking about his thoughts in his heart. Xiong Qi wanted to fight Xiang Yan's forces in his heart, but the current situation in Chu did not allow Xiong Qi to abolish Xiang Yan. Insisting on keeping Xiang Yan will inevitably offend most of the powerful and will affect his rule. There is another point that Xiong Qi is most worried about, if Xiang Yan is not protected without any punishment, it will be a great blow to his prestige.

Therefore, what Xiong Qi wants is to use the power of the powerful to fight Xiang Yan, and at the same time ensure that Xiang Yan can resist the Qin State.

But as the quarrel between the ministers of Chu became more and more intense, Xiong Qi's thoughts were also shaken, because the situation in the court had exceeded Xiong Qi's expectations. Originally, Xiong Qi planned to wait until Xiang Yan's faction and the elite faction were evenly matched, but now the people who support Xiang Yan in the Chu State court have far exceeded the power of the powerful.

Xiong Qi looked at the people who supported Xiang Yan in the court in surprise, ten of the sixteen high-ranking officials of the Chu State supported Xiong Qi, and officials such as doctors accounted for the majority. Seeing this scene, Xiong Qi's heart suddenly appeared with killing intent, but he was quickly held down again.

"That's enough, what kind of system are you fighting for?" Xiong Qi said coldly.

Seeing Xiong Qi speak, the other officials also fell silent and saluted Xiong Qi and said

"The ministers are terrified!"

Xiong Qi looked at the ministers of the Xiang Yan faction who were full of confidence and smiled below, and Xiong Qi suddenly felt a wave of disgust in his heart. Then Xiong Qi's eyes fell on Guo Kai's body.

"Guo Kai, do you have anything to say?" Xiong Qi asked.

Seeing Xiong Qi point out his name, Guo Kai knew that his opportunity had come, so he stepped forward and said

"The minister didn't have anything to say, the minister was a foreign minister, and he was temporarily under the protection of the Chu State because of the kindness of the king. The matter that the ministers are arguing about is related to the foundation of the Chu State, and the ministers dare not speak falsely. ”

"You are Ma Yin, the eunuch of the Chu State, and you are qualified to speak in the court." Xiong Qi said coldly.

"The king asked the minister to speak, and then the minister gave some superficial advice. Chen believed that now that the great enemy was present, Da Sima bypassed the court and let his son Xiang Liang lead his troops to withdraw from Jingling, which should be the best choice for the current offensive of the Qin State.

In terms of what is being done in the war, no one can compare with the Great Sima, and at present, the Great Enemy, the Chu State has no one who can compete with the Qin State except for the Great Sima. Therefore, the minister believed that the top priority was to send people to stabilize Da Sima and let Da Sima continue to confront Qin, rather than arguing about what was wrong with Da Sima's orders here.

As for what some ministers said, today's Li Mu is tomorrow's Xiang Yan, this is pure nonsense. Li Mu is a treacherous villain, Da Sima is wholeheartedly for the sake of Chu in Chu State, and Da Sima's loyalty to Chu State is beyond doubt.

When I was in the Zhao State, I often heard the name of the Great Sima, and the name of the Great Sima for his loyalty to the Chu State had long been spread, and it was even more widely spread among the people. The king suspects that no one can doubt the great Sima. Guo Kai arched his hand and said.

Hearing Guo Kai's words, the ministers in the court were stunned, they didn't expect Guo Kai to choose to support Xiang Yan. Guo Kai usually gets close to the elite faction, no matter which faction people think that Guo Kai will support the disposal of Xiang Yan, but they didn't expect Guo Kai to uphold the words of justice.

Although Guo Kai entered Chu as a foreign minister, the people brought by Guo Kai are all quite talented people, and Guo Kai has been making friends with money, it seems that Guo Kai has no influence in Chu State, but in fact, Guo Kai is also a small force in the court of Chu State.

Hearing Guo Kai's words, Xiong Qi was also stunned, and the right Ling Yin, who supported Xiang Yan, smiled gratefully at Guo Kai, and Guo Kai also nodded vaguely at the right Ling Yin. Such a scene of harmony among colleagues is particularly dazzling in Xiong Qi's eyes.

Xiong Qi's face was calm and said as usual

"You're listening."

Whether Guo Kai's words are listened to or not, only Xiong Qi himself knows.

"Great King, now that the ministers have come up with their opinions, they think that this matter can be put aside for the time being, and it is enough to send someone to ask Da Sima for clarification. As long as Da Sima makes an explanation, he will definitely be able to stabilize the Chu State. Right Ling Yin said while the iron was hot.

Xiong Qi didn't look at Right Ling Yin, so that Right Ling kept bowing. The ministers watched this scene in silence, and for a moment everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed against a stone.

"Right Ling Yin is right." Xiong Qi said coldly: "Let Da Sima come back and explain." Now that the Qin army is gathered in Dangyang City, there are 200,000 troops in Dangyang City, and there are four generals of the Wind Forest Volcano, so let the Great Sima return it to Yingdu and explain that it is not in the way.

As for Xiang Liang, let him stick to Suicheng, and he can't be allowed to retreat without the order of the widow! The territory of my Chu State can be conquered by the enemy, but it cannot be given to others! Let Da Sima secretly return to Yingdu. ”

Right Ling Yin exclaimed when he heard Xiong Qi's words

"King!"

"Huh?" Xiong Qi's cold eyes swept towards Right Ling Yin, making Right Ling Yin stunned on the spot and not daring to speak again.

"If there's no problem, let's all step down." Xiong Qi snorted coldly and left directly.

The ministers who left the Manchu Dynasty couldn't figure it out, but there were also a few ministers who reacted quickly, and could only helplessly look at the back of Xiong Qi leaving, and sighed in a low voice

"O Lord! O high merit and earthquake lord! ”

Guo Kai just smiled faintly and left the palace of the king of Chu, he needed to spread the news immediately, Xiang Yan was transferred away in front of the formation, and the Chu army without Xiang Yan's commander would inevitably be in turmoil, and then the Qin army would be able to break through.

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

Li Muzheng led a group of generals to watch the two white tigers transported from Xianyang.

"This is the Mo family's white tiger, it's really a big killer." Meng Wu looked at the white tiger and sighed.

The White Tiger is a battlefield killer weapon that is generally used by other countries to deal with the Qin State, Meng Wu has also encountered the White Tiger twice on the battlefield, and has seen the lethality of the White Tiger, this thing is better than a catapult, and now it is finally their turn to use it once.

"This white tiger has been modified, right?" Li Mu looked at the two white tigers and said.

When Li Mu fought against the grassland, the Mo family sent people to support five white tigers, so Li Mu knew very well what the white tiger looked like, and the white tiger in front of him was basically changed except for the same color.

"Wu Anjun is right, these two white tigers have been transformed by us. In the past, the main armor of the White Tiger was cast in bronze, but now we have transformed it into iron, and its defense is far greater than before. As for the offensive side, we equipped one of the White Tigers with a small catapult with a newly developed soil mine, which can drop more than a dozen small and medium-sized earth mines at a time, and if it is large, it can drop three at a time. Qin Mo's disciple said.

The Qin Mo disciple who was in charge of controlling the white tiger immediately manipulated the white tiger when he heard this, and the back of one of the white tigers suddenly opened, the sound of the gear turning sounded, and the pole of a catapult suddenly rose, and the two Mo family disciples in the control room shook the remote sensing in their hands, and the catapult was immediately bounced away, and the stones in the catapult were thrown out.

Large boulders landed outside the Qin military camp, smashing a huge hole in the ground. Looking at such a huge power, Li Mu and Meng Wu and other generals gasped, the power of the stone alone is so huge, if you put earth mines, this is simply an invincible killing weapon. Whether it is a siege or a fight on the battlefield, it is invincible, especially the white tiger is a trap beast, and its mobility is faster than that of a horse, and having such a white tiger is enough to affect the entire battle situation.

Looking at the surprised looks of many generals, Qin Mo's disciples were extremely proud, their Mo family's machine skills just didn't want to develop into the war, otherwise the public loser would have been destroyed by them a long time ago.

"On the other White Tiger, we reduced most of its armor and only kept it in key places in order to improve its mobility and facilitate its rapid movement on the battlefield. As for the means of attack, please look at them, generals! Disciple Qin Mo beckoned.

The three Qin Mo disciples on the other smaller white tiger activated the white tiger, and with the rotation of the gears, dozens of sharp blades suddenly appeared on the body of this white tiger, and these sharp blades were all over the limbs, back and tail of the white tiger, and there were several huge spears on its back.

"The fast movement combined with these sharp blades is a real killing machine on the battlefield, and to a certain extent, it is more powerful than the four-legged spiders of our Mo family." Disciple Qin Mo continued to explain.

At the same time, the disciple of Qin Mo, who was controlling the white tiger, pressed a button, and the spear behind the white tiger suddenly shot out, and the spear shot out like a white rainbow, shooting into the boulder that was thrown just now.

"Originally, we planned to put the battering ram into it, but the small battering ram could not break through the city gate, and the large battering ram white tiger could not carry it, so we took inspiration from the big yellow crossbow and the bed crossbow and transformed it into the current one, although these spears could not break through the city gate, but they could also cut into the city wall, providing the soldiers with the convenience of siege." Disciple Qin Mo explained.

Looking at these two white tigers, the generals present, including Li Mu, were all shocked, the trap beasts themselves were like big killers on the battlefield, and now Qin Mo had added a large number of weapons to these trap beasts, and the lethality of this single body could not be compared to the domineering mechanism of the loser.

"It is said that don't bully honest people, once honest people come up, they really want to die." Meng Wu looked at the two white tigers and said.

The Mo family generally doesn't engage in this kind of big killing weapon, but they are really ruthless when they do it, and they can't wait to build these white tigers into a battle legion.

"The Mo family is not an honest person." Li Mu said: "It's normal for these people to be ruthless and ruthless than the public losers. ”

If the Mo family doesn't have that ruthlessness, they can't become the leader of the green forest in the world, and if the Mo family is really honest, they will also argue with those who play their brains badly.

"Don't care who is ruthless and who is not, just put this thing in front of the battle, and Dangyang City can be taken down directly." Meng Wu's eyes were all on the bodies of the two white tigers.

"Will these two White Tigers be mass-produced?" Li Mu looked at Qin Mo's disciple and asked.

"Not for now." Qin Mo's disciple's face was a little ugly and said, "Wu Anjun, you also know the situation of the Mo family, the Mo family gave us Qin Mo five white tigers, so that we can transform them, if we directly transform the white tigers, the Mo family will not be able to get by." ”

"It's me who is greedy." Li Mu shook his head and said.

For what Qin Mo's disciple said, Li Mu also understood what was going on, what the Mo family pursued was not battlefield killing, and the essence of the machine beasts created was not used to fight, otherwise relying on the four major machine beasts and four-legged spiders alone, the name of the domineering machine technique should also be put on the head of the Mo family. If the Mo family is forced to transform the White Tiger, it will force the Mo family to leave the Qin State, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the Qin State is not the only Mo family that can create a trap beast, and it is enough to let the loser transform his own trap beast to deal with the war.

As for the transformation of the White Tiger, it would not be too late to assemble the Qin Army when Qin Mo had figured out the drawings of the White Tiger, and then improve a new Trap Beast.

A herald dismounted and walked quickly in front of Li Mu and said

"Wu Anjun, news came from Yingdu, Xiong Qi, the king of Chu, secretly recalled Xiang Yan, and the envoy of the king of Chu has secretly come to Dangyang."

"Xiong Qi recalled Xiang Yan? Why? Li Mu asked in a deep voice, it is taboo to recall the general before the battle.

"Within the Chu State, the monarchs and ministers are not in harmony, and the merits are high." The herald said.

"How many famous generals have been defeated by these four words." Li Mu sighed with emotion: "Everyone is handsome, assemble!" ”

The generals who were watching the White Tiger heard Li Mu's voice and immediately bowed their hands and said

"No!"

Inside Dangyang City.

The chamberlain in charge of summoning smiled and handed the edict in his hand to Xiang Yan

"Da Sima, the king ordered you to return to Yingdu immediately, do you think we should leave now?"

"I'm tired of waiting for a while, waiting for me to explain the affairs of the army." Xiang Yan arched his hand and said.

"You're busy!" The chamberlain said with a smile, although Xiang Yan is now suspicious of Xiong Qi, he is still the great Sima of the Chu State for one day, so it is not something that he, the chamberlain, can offend, and who the king of the Chu State will be in the future is not certain?

After sending off the chamberlain, Xiang Yan looked at the edict in his hand, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness.

"At the end of the day, I'm going to have to go through this way." Xiang Yan said with emotion.

Uncle Xiang on the side looked at his father and sighed helplessly, it was too late to say anything now.

"Father, do you need me to send someone back to Yingdu in advance to talk about the situation?" Xiang Bo asked in a low voice.

"No, sending someone back will tell the truth to the others. Now that the great enemy of Chu is present, the king will not do anything to me, and in the final analysis, this matter is my trespassing. Xiang Yan said helplessly.

"At the beginning, the king said that the whole country of Chu would obey your orders during the war, and now he suddenly suspects you, it is true" Xiang Bo said helplessly.

"That's it, if it were someone else, I might have been taken down on the spot, instead of going back to Yingdu to explain." Xiang Yan interrupted Xiang Bo's words, "During the time I left, I must not let the news leak out, everything is the same as usual, and at the same time, send a few more teams of scouts to secretly investigate the movements of the Qin army around me, and the soldiers guarding the city must also secretly send more." ”

"No!"
