Chapter 269 Xiang Yan
Xiang Yan is the descendant of the Zhou Dynasty with the surname Xiang Guo, in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Xiang State was destroyed by the Lu State, the country was named as a family name.
The Xiang family had been the general of Chu for generations, and he could not understand why the common people would welcome the Qin army that had invaded Chu.
"There is a rebel group?"
The subordinate bowed his head deeply: "No." The common people spontaneously. ”
"Why? Caught in the Gu? ”
The subordinates also felt that this matter was like a desolate night talk, and the common people were not so enthusiastic about the Chu people, why did they welcome the tiger and wolf division?
Don't they know how brutal the Qin people were?
"I heard that the slogan they shouted when they welcomed them was to welcome Ding Anjun."
Xiang Yan was furious and scolded: "This group of ordinary people, listening to the wind is the rain. Do you really think that Ding'anjun is the kind of person who worries about the country and the people? I don't know it, it is the Ding'an Jun who they have in their hearts, which caused them to be robbed of their food! ”
"They were born in the state of Chu, raised in the state of Chu, bathed in the glory of the king, not only did they not want to repay, but they were resentful and in vain!"
Xiang Yan naturally knew the miserable situation of the common people, and also knew that all this was inseparable from many fish.
However, he could not understand the choices of the common people.
In his opinion, the state of Chu can give the common people a habitat, which is already a great gift. How could he be deceived by Ding'an Jun for a little benefit?
As for the common people being starved to death, what does it have to do with him? He was a general of the Chu State, and he only needed to focus on the war.
No matter how angry Xiang Yan was, he was still recalled to the capital to report on his work.
"King!"
In the capital of Chu, the autumn wind is gusting, and the dry leaves are swaying, just like the national fortune of Chu.
On the floors of the palace of the King of Chu, Xiang Yan had a trace of anger in his eyes: "Let such rumors circulate in the country, King Yu Xian is really disrespectful, and I hope the king can ban it!" ”
The young King of Chu was dressed in a Chu-style curved deep robe, his belt was tied high, and the high crown on his head almost broke his delicate neck.
In front of the tall Xiang Yan, he was like a skinny chick.
King Chu was glared at by Xiang Yan, and immediately looked at his mother and uncle, Chun Shenjun, with tears in his eyes.
Chun Shenjun got up elegantly, helped Xiang Yan up, and then waved his wide sleeves to let the palace maids who had just been singing and dancing retreat.
"What are the rumors in the country? Why don't I know? ”
"I don't know." Li Yuan echoed.
But Xiang Yan is young and vigorous, with an upright personality, and said: "In the market in the country, there are many rumors, and they are all spreading the matter of 'blossoming on the tree', saying that the king is ......"
Xiang Yan is not a fool in the end, he didn't make his words clear in front of the four parties.
Li Yuan's face suddenly froze, and he glanced at the Queen Mother who looked panicked.
Xiang Yan became more and more angry, this rumor suddenly spread this year, saying that the king was actually the son of Chunshenjun Huang Xie.
This kind of saying is like being spread all over the market by an invisible force, and the common people already have a grudge against the king of Chu, and when it is spread, it is even more vinegared, and it has a nose and an eye.
Xiang Yan returned to the capital this time, only to find that the rumors were like sparks and had burned the prairies, so he didn't care about discussing the war, and directly confessed in front of the king.
This rumor is really ridiculous, and it is clearly a divisive plan of the Qin people. The feudal monarchs already have the heart of self-reliance, if they believe this rumor, or use it as an excuse, the situation in Chu is critical. ”
"There are such ridiculous rumors?!"
Chun Shenjun restrained his smile, made an angry appearance, looked at the ministers, and shouted angrily: "Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
Director Li sighed and comforted: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, we have a clear conscience, why are we afraid of others' words?" Who would believe this rumor? ”
"In my opinion, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. The Qin army is menacing, we should focus on the war. ”
"That's right, it's better to be blocked."
The Queen Mother whispered softly in the ear of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu stumbled and said: "For now, you should focus on military affairs!" ”
Xiang Yan was silent, it was obvious that if he continued to argue, the ministers would think that they were attacking the east and west, and they would not dare to take the responsibility of the battlefield.
"In that case, the minister will no longer inquire about the matter."
Xiang Yan forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger, and turned to talk about the most critical battle for everyone.
"Great King, the main commander of the Qin army will be Meng Qi."
Speaking of which, limited by communication, it is difficult to know in advance who the other party's main general will be in this era. Sometimes, when a war is almost over, the two warring sides know that the enemy is in charge.
Chun Shenjun: "What about Ding Anjun?" ”
The ships of the Qin army were like giant sharks swimming in the sea, killing the boat division of the Chu State, killing one without squeaking.
Now the Chu State Boat Division is completely risking his life to block the offensive of the Qin State ships.
If Ding Anjun is on a sea ship, as long as he knows which sea ship it is, even if he bets on all the ships of Chu State, he will sink the ship!
"I don't know." Xiang Yan frowned.
"What do you mean?" Some ministers asked.
Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "There is no trace of Ding Anjun at all. I don't know if she is on the sea, or in the river, or if she has already arrived in Chudi. ”
Hiss......
Shocked by this, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State immediately looked at each other, sat still, and felt timid.
Ding Anjun is not only good at sea, but her cavalry is as fast as lightning, and the attack on the city is like a bamboo.
Back then, Bashu was just a wild land, and Ding'anjun's cavalry won more with less, which made the Wei soldiers change color when they mentioned the cavalry!
Now, on the rich side of Bashu, the coins of the six countries are gathered here, what Ding'an Jun will make the cavalry look like, I can't imagine it!
"She's not going to raid the capital...... is she," the minister shuddered.
Li Yuan swallowed his saliva and said dryly: "The capital is far from the shore, and there are feudal monarchs blocking it. Even if she wanted to strike with lightning, she would have to get past the feudal lords. ”
"However, how do you know that the feudal monarch is self-reliant, and there is no handwriting from Ding Anjun?" Everyone present knew in their hearts that if the Qin State was willing to give the feudal monarchs a way to live, the feudal monarchs would naturally let them go.
Someone had a flash of inspiration: "Maybe, the rumors were also done by Ding Anjun!" ”
She wants to have a rift within the Chu State.
Isn't that even more terrifying? Even the capital was ...... by her," the minister swallowed the rest of his words.
Even the capital city has been infiltrated by her like this, coupled with the fact that the common people are welcoming her, isn't the capital full of dangers?
Xiang Yan felt sad and sad, when they should have been united and went to the national disaster together, they were still suspicious of each other, and they were afraid of Ding'an Jun like a tiger.
"King, we should increase our forces at this time."
Li Yuan stood up abruptly and said loudly: "No! Ding Anjun is mysterious, who knows where she will appear? Let us strengthen the guard of the capital and keep the king safe! ”
"Indeed, exactly." Ministers responded.
Xiang Yan was completely dumbfounded, he was here to ask for soldiers and food, but as a result, the king not only did not give soldiers, but also sent front-line troops to protect the capital? !
Just for a Ding Anjun who doesn't know where he is?!
