Chapter 286: Hot Potato
Liu Chu stood at the newly erected head of Jiaguang City, and could see some battle flags fluttering in the wind from afar.
It was the combined army of the state of Chu and overseas Africa.
From this distance, you can see the battle flag, and it is estimated that the distance between the two sides is already very close, and it is only a few dozen miles away.
Liu Chu received His Majesty's instructions to prepare for a decisive battle, and the Chu State and the overseas African coalition forces also got the news.
Moreover, this news was released to them by Liu Chu!
Liu Chu thought so, instead of waiting for their batches of backup to arrive, it was better to let them all gather first, and the two sides would fight happily when they were full.
This kind of battle is only happy when it is fought! And there is nothing to grudge against if you lose, you win it with dignity.
"General, there is a team of men and horses ahead!Wearing the clothes of the soldiers of the Chu State!" said a scout holding up his clairvoyance.
Liu Chu took off the clairvoyance from his waist, looked forward, and found that there was indeed a team of soldiers from the Chu State!
What does this mean? Is it sending someone to negotiate?
Liu Chu took a closer look and was suddenly a little surprised, the person who took the lead turned out to be Chu Huamei!
How did this crazy woman come to the battlefield?
What does she mean by charging this way with people?
"General, do you want to release the arrows?" asked the scout, a group of archers in the rear ready.
"Wait!" Liu Chu stopped the archers.
Soon, Chu Huamei took dozens of horses behind her and came to the city tower of Jiaguang City.
Liu Chu found that Chu Yiguan, who was next to Chu Huamei, also had a child in his arms!
Liu Chu's eyes widened in surprise instantly, this must be the child of Chu Huamei that Emperor Wei said!
But what is Chu Huamei doing here with her own children?
"We're meeting again, I should call you General Liu, right? I really didn't expect that after only a long time since we met, you really have a firm grip on the Liu family's army. Chu Huamei looked at Liu Chu at the head of the city and said with a smile.
"What is the purpose of the eldest princess here?" asked Liu Chu.
"Will you open the door?" Chu Huamei pointed to the city gate.
Liu Chu looked at Chu Huamei and did not speak.
"Why are you looking at people like this?, do you have flowers on their faces?" Chu Huamei said with a smile.
"Thorny roses. Liu Chu said lightly.
"If you say that, people will be angry!" Chu Huamei snorted.
"What the hell are you doing here? We're going to fight you soon. Liu Chu asked rudely.
"Open the door, let me in, and I'll tell you. Chu Huamei said.
"If you don't say it, don't say it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Liu Chu turned around and left the city tower directly.
Chu Huamei was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Liu Chu to leave directly.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, why do we have to come here?" said Chu Yiguan puzzled.
Chu Yiguan was angry in his heart, he felt that even if they were down, they wouldn't come to the enemy, right?
The first line of northern Xinjiang was originally firmly held in the hands of Chu Huamei, but who knew that the general of Northern Xinjiang, Tie Jindan, suddenly died violently, and Emperor Chu re-sent a general to take over Tie Jindan's position.
The new general was called Chen Beifang, and as soon as he came, he executed all Chu Huamei's henchmen in the army.
This Chen Northern Expedition is very worthy of his name, that is, he came to the northern frontier of Chu to crusade against Chu Huamei!
Chu Huamei spent several years working hard to grasp the power in her hands, and once collapsed!
For this reason, Chu Huamei had to flee overnight, and finally fled here. Chu Huamei thought about it and felt that it was safer for Liu Chu.
Before Bu Tianji died, he actually told Chu Huamei that the enemy is better than the relatives!
This sentence was firmly recorded in Chu Huamei's heart, so she didn't go back to Emperor Chu if she was killed.
What's more, there are still grievances between her and Emperor Chu.
"He's probably our only savior. Chu Huamei said.
"But he won't open the door!" Chu Yiguan said.
"Then wait!" Chu Huamei said and turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the outside of the city gate, and sat down to rest against the city gate.
When the others saw this, they also dismounted and rested against the city gate.
They hadn't slept well in days, so some of them yawned and snored as soon as they sat down.
"Give me the Emperor. Chu Huamei said to Chu Yiguan.
Chu Yiguan nodded, and handed the Emperor of Chu, who had taken good care of him all the way, to Chu Huamei.
This road is full of dust, but what is surprising is that there is no dust on the body of the little baby Emperor Chu!
Even the swaddling clothes that wrapped him were extremely clean!
It can be seen how attentively Chu Yiguan takes care of this little guy!
"Thank you. Chu Huamei said.
"It's what you should do!" Chu Yiguan was suddenly a little frightened, this was the first time Chu Huamei had said polite words to herself!
"Your Highness, if this Liu Chu doesn't open the door all the time, will we just keep waiting? Look at this posture, the Chu State and the overseas non-local coalition forces are about to fight!" Chu Yiguan said.
When they came over just now, they came around, and they also saw not far away that the allied forces of Chu and overseas Africa were gathering in large numbers, and this was the posture of a decisive battle!
"Well, I'm sure he'll open the door!" because ......" Chu Huamei said this, pausing.
"Because of what?" asked Chu Yiguan puzzled.
"Because he may be the only royal bloodline of the Chu State!" Chu Huamei said.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Chu Yiguan was stunned for a moment.
Chu Huamei looked up into the distance, which was the direction of the imperial capital of Chu.
On this day, several rare dishes were prepared in the imperial dining room, all of which were dishes that had never been tasted.
Therefore, Chu Emperor Chu Gaoyong gave these dishes to various imperial relatives.
Of course, this suggestion to give vegetables was suggested by Chu Liao, the great eunuch who served the Chu Emperor.
Emperor Chu felt that these dishes were rare, and he also happily agreed to Chu Liao's suggestion.
As a result, something big happened the next day.
The relatives of the emperor who ate the vegetables all vomited and diarrhea, as if they had been poisoned.
Three days later, the last royal relative of the royal family of Chu State died!
Emperor Chu stood on the empty Jinluan Palace, his eyes were blood-red, his hair was messy, and he also grabbed two handfuls of hair in his hands.
Chu Liao had already hanged himself in his bedroom yesterday, so he suddenly cut off the clues, and he couldn't track it down and find out who was behind it.
But Emperor Chu knew who that person was.
Emperor Chu didn't calculate that Chu Liao, who entered the palace at the age of three, would be bought?
Emperor Chu was suddenly stunned, thinking of Chu Liao's birth, and suddenly found that he and Chu Huamei's husband's family, that is, the Guozhang family at that time, were from the same place!
"It's so anxious! I was negligent!" Chu Huang clenched his fists, and his body was trembling.
On this day, there was a sensation in the whole world, and the royal blood of the Chu State was almost dead!
Now, only Chu Emperor Chu Gaoyong remains, as well as Chu Huamei, and Chu Huamei's unknown son, Emperor Chu!
As soon as Chu Gaoyong died, Chu Huamei may be the only person who has the qualifications to inherit the throne.
Because there is no one in the royal family!
Chu Huamei's move is not ruthless! These people are all her relatives!
There are even brothers, sisters, brothers, and sisters!
The only ones who are still alive may be some of the older generation of royals in the palace, these people, even if they inherit the throne, they can't sit in the position for a few years, because most of them are people who have been cut off into the ground, and there is only one nose left outside the tomb, able to breathe a few breaths of air.
After listening to Chu Huamei's plan, Chu Yiguan couldn't help but shudder.
It's so ruthless!
Chu Yiguan can't see through Chu Huamei, although Chu Huamei was crazy before, she wasn't crazy to this point!
Could it be that Chu Huamei really did everything in order to help her son ascend to the throne?
It seems that it is, and she has done it......
"Report to the General, they're still out there. ”
Liu Chu asked people to go to the city tower to see if Chu Huamei was still there, and when there were not many people who went to investigate the situation, they came back to report.
"Why are you still there?" Liu Chu frowned.
"General, I think we should shoot them to death!" the man who had been assigned to investigate the situation made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"They can't die just yet. Liu Chu said.
Chu Huamei is alive, for Chu Emperor Chu Gaoyong, it is a time bomb and a thorn!
Therefore, Liu Chu wants to keep Chu Huamei alive.
However, if Liu Chu knew that Chu Huamei had lost control of the army in the northern Xinjiang of Chu State, he was afraid that he would immediately order her to be shot, right?
"You came to me in a hurry, why did you come here?" Yan Zhenyue walked in quickly.
Yan Zhenyue was discussing tactics in the camp just now, when he was suddenly invited by Liu Chu's own soldiers.
"Big deal, big big thing!" Liu Chu said.
"What's the big deal?" Yan Zhenyue frowned.
Now that Armageddon is about to come, what else can there be?
"Chu Huamei is here. Liu Chu said.
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Huamei?" Yan Zhenyue was stunned for a moment.
"What is she doing here?" Yan Zhenyue then asked.
"Defect to us!" Liu Chu shrugged.
"Defect to us?" Yan Zhenyue was stunned again, this eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, ran over to join them?
"Are you sure?" Yan Zhenyue was a little incredulous.
"Why are you lying to you, if you don't believe it, go to the city to see, they are lying under the city wall, leaning against the city gate, and they don't plan to leave!"
"This is still dragging the family to come!" Liu Chu said.
Yan Zhenyue hurriedly ran to the head of the city, and sure enough, he saw Chu Huamei and them.
"Could it be that he came to Tou Cheng on purpose, and then took the opportunity to do something?" Yan Zhenyue returned to Liu Chu's small courtyard.
"It's not. Liu Chu shook his head.
"Then why don't we take them down?" maybe they can be taken hostage!" Yan Zhenyue said.
"No! If you can't take them down, something big will happen! This is a hot potato!" Liu Chu shook his head decisively.
"Think about it, if we take them, will the Chu State become famous? They can use the banner of justice to say that we kidnapped their eldest princess, Her Royal Highness, and they are coming to crusade against us!"
"We're going to be bad guys!" Liu Chu said.
Yan Zhenyue thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case!
