Zhaocen Mansion.

After leaving the city wall, the king of Chu came directly to the Zhaocen Mansion.

When he was at the city wall, Zhao Cen was able to excuse himself and leave.

But at home, where can Zhaocen go?

He could only sit opposite the king of Chu in the main hall, listening to the sincere persuasion of the king of Chu: "Few people know how difficult the clans are......"

"Boom!"

A loud bang interrupted Chu Wanghan's words.

Just like a teacher facing the bell of the end of class, Chu Wanghan had to stop for a while, and then continued to speak: "However, now 60,000 Qin troops are hoarded outside, and our army has 30,000 defending the city......"

"Boom!!"

Another roar sounded, and the King of Chu waited anxiously for a few breaths before he spoke again: "Even if this battle can't completely annihilate the Qin army, Shouchun City is as stable as Mount Tai!" ”

"If the Zhao clan is still unwilling to send private soldiers to participate in the war, the widow will not blame the Zhao clan."

"But Zhao Zuo Yin is willing to take all the credit for this battle by the Jing clan?"

The roar sounded again, but Chu Wang Han was no longer anxious.

He had already said what he had to say, and the next thing to wait for was Zhao Cen's decision.

However, to the disappointment of Chu Wanghan, Zhao Cen apologized: "Your Majesty, my Zhao clan has never chosen to no longer levy private soldiers because of interests. ”

"It's really the Zhao clan's inability to levy more private soldiers, and the ministers can only watch Shouchun City being besieged and unable to do anything."

"As long as the Zhao clan has a trace of strength, he will definitely do his best for my Da Chu!"

King Chu's eyes were gloomy: "Zhao Zuoyin, are you really unwilling to help the widow?" ”

Zhao Cen gave his hand again: "It's the minister's incompetence!" ”

Chu Wanghan wanted to persuade again, but a eunuch ran quickly to Chu Wanghan's side and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there are cracks in the wall of Dongcheng. ”

King Chu's pupils shrank suddenly: "Really?!" ”

How long has it been since the war began?

It's less than a day!

As a result, the walls of the eastern city cracked?

If this is the case, it will not only be the Dongcheng city wall that will be cracked, but also the king of Chu!

The eunuch immediately said: "How dare you deceive the king!" ”

I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and Chu Wanghan doesn't believe it at all.

Without the heart to persuade Zhao Cen again, King Chu stood up and said, "Zhao Zuo Yin can think about it more. ”

"The widow is waiting for Aiqing!"

Zhao Cen immediately gave his hand: "Minister, thank you for the king's favor!" ”

After sending Chu Wang Han out of the mansion, Zhao Cen immediately ordered: "Quickly go to the city wall to inquire about the battle situation!" ”

After the soldiers left, Zhao Cen strode back to the main hall, and saw two figures entering the main hall from the side hall.

Zhao Cen hurriedly bowed his hand and greeted with a smile: "Negative son, Qi Gongzi, wait for a long time!" ”

"I hope the two sons will forgive their sins!"

Xiong Cheng smiled warmly: "What is Zhaozuo Yin's crime? ”

"It's just that a wicked guest came to the door, and it disturbed me and Yaxing."

Xiong Yingshu compared the king of Chu to a villain, but Zhaocen did not dare to agree.

With a smile, Zhao Cen changed the topic: "The king came to look for me to increase the Zhao clan's troops, and he left suddenly. ”

"In this way, it seems that the battle is not going well."

Xiong Qi nodded: "As far as this son knows, Chang'anjun has taken out a lot of new siege equipment. ”

"It's hard to resist for too long with the city defense of Shouchun City."

Zhao Cen was surprised: "Although Shouchun City is not a male city, it can also be described as a strong city. ”

"Such a city can't stop Chang'anjun's siege equipment for too long?"

Xiong Qi said angrily: "Let's talk about Chang'an Jun's newly built catapult." ”

"My son has not yet seen his true face, but it can be seen from the military newspaper that even if he is as strong as Daliang City, he is afraid of catapults like tigers."

"Daliang City is still like this, let alone my Shouchun City?"

"The current roar should be the result of a catapult throwing flying stones against the city walls."

Xiong Yingshu immediately asked: "Do you know how to build that catapult?" ”

Xiong Qi shook his head: "I don't know why, the king and Chang'an Jun are like wolves. ”

"It is the real goal of Daqin's expedition this time, and my brother only knew about it after General Wang Jian entered the territory of Zhao State."

"Not to mention these new types of ordnance."

Xiong Chengshu sighed softly: "How can this be. ”

Xiong Qi also thought that Xiong Yingshu was regretting that he couldn't get the new weapons of the Qin State.

As a result, he saw Xiong Yingshu looking at himself with pity: "How can they treat my brother like this?" ”

"My brother has had a very difficult time in Qin over the years."

In a word, it hit Xiong Qi's tears.

My brother has had a very difficult time in Qin all these years.

The original appearance is also the Great Qin Xiangbang!

Why should the king and Chang'an Jun guard against their true appearance like guarding against outsiders!

Xiong Qi shook his head bitterly: "Even if it is Qin Zhixiangbang, it is far inferior to the son of Chu!" ”

As he spoke, the soldiers quickly entered the main hall.

Just as he was about to whisper in Zhao Cen's ear, he listened to Zhao Cen's instructions: "The two sons both believe in people, and my Zhao family has nothing to say to others." ”

"Just say it."

The soldiers immediately surrendered their hands: "It was only then that I learned that the Qin Army's flying stone had caused serious damage to the wall of my Shouchun City. ”

"There are cracks in the eastern wall!"

"In addition, the Qin army has released a thousand captives, and these captives are screaming for help outside the southern city gate."

Zhao Cen and Xiong Yingshu stood up together and asked in disbelief: "The east city wall is cracked?!" ”

Although the rift does not mean that the city is broken.

But how long has it been since the Qin army began to attack the city?

It's been less than a day!

The family soldier bowed his hand and saluted: "I personally went to the east city wall to see, and there are indeed cracks." ”

Even Xiong Qi was shocked enough.

He had indeed heard that the catapult built by Ying Chengcheng was very fierce.

But he never expected that the catapult built by Ying Chengcheng would be so fierce!

But Xiong Qi had heard of the catapult's prestige for a long time, so he was able to quickly accept this fact and noticed another strange thing.

"Uncle (second brother)." Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "The Qin army will not release a thousand captives for no reason. ”

"Chang'anjun may be getting in touch with his brother through this way."

Xiong Cheng said clearly: "This matter will be handled by my brother." ”

With Xiong Yingshu's cooperation, Zhuang Jia not only entered Shouchun City smoothly, but even entered Zhaocen's mansion unimpeded.

Looking at Zhao Cen and Xiong Qi sitting in the main hall, Zhuang Jia solemnly bowed his hand: "Zhuang Jia, the Great Qin candidate, meet Xiangbang, meet Zhaozuoyin!" ”

Xiong Qiluo bowed slightly: "Chang'an Jun sent Er into the city, what happened?" ”

Zhuang Jia took a few steps forward, took out the bamboo slips and presented them with both hands: "Chang'an Jun's handwritten book is here, please take a look at it!" ”

After taking the bamboo slips and verifying the sealing mud, Xiong Qi cut open the sealing mud and unfolded the bamboo slips, and a line of handwriting came into view.

[Our department has arrived outside Shouchun City and is attacking Shouchun City. 】

[However, this monarch does not want to kill more, and yearns for peace. 】

[Therefore, this gentleman asked Xiangbang to lobby the Zhao clan and informed the Zhao clan that if the Jing clan held the city, it would be very unfavorable to the Zhao clan, so as to lure the Zhao clan to respond, if the Zhao clan agreed, please raise fire in the south of the city three places after night. 】

[Please tell Jing again, Shouchun is the Shouchun of the King of Chu, but Gusu is Jing's Gusu. 】

[If the Jing clan is stubborn and still resists, then this monarch should raise troops to the south, attack Gusu and slaughter it! ] 】

[If the Jing clan is willing to reconcile with this monarch, please raise a fire in the north of the city three times after nightfall. 】

[Later, he asked Xiangbang to lobby the king of Chu to convey his yearning for peace, and strive to reach a peace covenant with the king of Chu. 】

There are many 'peace' on the bamboo slips, but there are two words written between the lines of the bamboo slips: 'kill'!

Ying Chengcheng on weekdays is not a gentleman, but he has a lot of kindness to Qianshou.

But such a merciful general, now he has clearly raised the 'slaughter of the city' as a threat!

Holding the bamboo slip, Xiong Qi could already feel the tyranny and anger in Ying Chengcheng's heart.

[Chang'an Jun Gongzi Cheng Chan, thank you Xiangbang! ] 】

[I also wish Xiangbang to be able to act properly in the Chu State, although this battle weakens the authority of the King of Chu, but it may allow Xiangbang to get the help of the clans! 】

Seeing the last sentence, Xiong Qi's heart skipped a beat.

What does this mean?

If Shouchun City was really breached, the authority of Chu Wang Han would inevitably be dealt a serious blow.

If Xiong Qi can get the support of many clans at this time, then Xiong Qi ......

Hiss~

Xiong Han is the son of King Chu Kaolie, and I, Xiong Qi, am also the son of King Chu Kaolie.

This King of Chu is sitting on the throne, why can't I Xiong Qi do it?

No, no, no!

In addition to Xiong Han, King Chu Kaolie also has a sister-in-law, Xiong You.

Unless Xiong Yu is also dead, Xiong Qi will be able to ascend to the top with the help of the clan!

Unless, Xiong Yu is also dead......

Once this thought comes to mind, it is difficult to suppress it.

Xiong Qi silently sent the bamboo slips into the stove, and said lightly: "I know Chang'anjun's intentions. ”

"Please wait for the Zhuang to live in Shouchun City for the time being, and listen to the instructions of the prime minister."

Zhuang Jia solemnly bowed his hand: "Only! ”

After Zhuang Jia left with the soldiers, Xiong Yingshu walked into the main hall again.

Smelling the smell of the bamboo being roasted, Xiong asked casually: "Brother Qi, what does Chang'anjun want?" ”

Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "Xiang Rong's department should have arrived in Xinzheng City. ”

"Chang'anjun is in a hurry."

Xiong Yingshu smiled and stroked his palms: "It is worthy of being the son of my Great Chu Shangzhu Kingdom, it is really brave!" ”

Xiong Qi shook his head: "Chang'an Jun has an excellent relationship with Qin Wangzheng. ”

"If the King of Qin is in power, Chang'an Jun will definitely attack Shouchun City, and after breaking Shouchun City, he will slaughter the city!"

Xiong Yingshu couldn't laugh anymore: "Chang'anjun won't immediately return to the army to seize the throne?" ”

The destruction of Shouchun City is a good thing for Xiong Chengshu.

But if Ying Chengcheng slaughtered the city after breaking the city, then Xiong Cheng was not sure to escape from Shouchun City alive!

After Xiong Qi pondered for a long time, he shook his head again: "If Chang'anjun had a big heart, he wouldn't have endured it until now." ”

"And even if Chang'anjun slaughters Shouchun first and then returns to Qin, as long as Chang'anjun doesn't die, no one in Great Qin will be able to take the throne from Chang'anjun!"

"My son thinks that the Zhao clan can help the Qin State, and also help the clan, and even more so to help Shouchun City!"

Xiong Cheng slowly bowed his head: "This son also thinks so." ”

Zhao Cen bowed: "The Zhao clan will not betray Da Chu." ”

"This official will send the soldiers in the house to defend the city together."

"However, the official's family is tired, and the fatigue and weakness of the city are also something that the official cannot control."

Xiong Qi got up and smiled: "Good! ”

"Brother still needs to lobby Jing's and say goodbye!"

After leaving the Zhao clan land in a hurry, Xiong Qi went straight into the Jing clan land, and saw Jing Chou sitting alone in the main hall with a calm face.

Raising his eyes to look at Xiong Qi, Jing Chou barely squeezed out a smile and bowed: "I don't know what Gongzi Qi is doing here?" ”

Xiong Qi returned the salute: "My son is here to convey the meaning of Chang'anjun." ”

"Chang'anjun wants to reconcile with the Jing family, I don't know what Jing Mo Ao wants?"

Jing Chou laughed angrily: "He Chang'anjun reconciled with my Jing clan?" ”

"I, Jing, and Chang'anjun should not share the sky!"

Why didn't you say fix it when you pressed my Jing's head and beat it?

Why didn't you say fix it when you poured feces and urine on my Jing's head?

Clansmen, you killed.

Disgusting, you're done nauseous.

Now you want to reconcile with my Jing clan?!

Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "Chang'anjun's willingness to reconcile with the Jing clan is due to Chang'anjun's kindness, not Chang'anjun's fear of the Jing clan. ”

"If the Jing clan refuses Chang'anjun's kindness, Chang'anjun will immediately raise troops to the south and slaughter Gusu!"

Jing Chou shot the case and shouted angrily: "On the battlefield, the two armies are their own masters. ”

"He is so successful that he dares to slaughter my Gusu to threaten my Jing clan!"

Xiong Qi said quietly: "Xiangcheng has been broken. ”

"During the siege, Chang'anjun was not persuaded to surrender."

In a word, Jing Chou was dumb.

Ying Chengcheng almost slaughtered Xiangcheng, so why are you afraid of slaughtering one more Gusu?

Xiong Qiwen said: "And why should the Jing clan damage the Jing clan's soldiers and share the worries of the King of Chu?" ”

"The clan is the foundation of Great Chu, not the king of Chu!"

Jing Chou looked at Xiong Qi unexpectedly: "Childe actually has such an idea?" ”

Xiong Qi smiled: "Heavy clan, then great Chuxing." ”

"If you light the clan, you will be defeated."

"For hundreds of years, countless Chu kings have used examples to tell Ben Gongzi how important the clan is to Great Chu."

"How can this son not be able to distinguish between the important and the heavy?"

If someone else said this, Jing Chou would not have any emotions.

But it was the son of the former king who said this, Gongzi Xiong Qi!

Jing Chou immediately felt close to Xiong Qisheng, and even regretted it in his heart.

How good it would be if Xiong Qi was the son of the first king!

After pondering for a long time, Jing Chou said in a deep voice: "The Jing clan will not betray Da Chu. ”

"But this official will try his best to cooperate with Chang Anjun."

"Of course, this official also has a request."

Xiong Qi immediately said: "Please Jing Moao speak up." ”

Jing Chou said seriously: "An empty vernacular will be repaired, it is too thin." ”

"If Chang'anjun really has the intention of reconciling with my Jing clan."

"Please Chang'anjun marry my Jing daughter!"
