Chapter 60: The Rusty Knife
In the twilight, the door of the main hall of the Jinluan Hall of the Great Chu Imperial Palace revealed a dim light, like a monster's slightly open mouth.
A slender waist palace maid walked out from the inside, and with a gentle and respectful expression, she invited an official standing outside the door to enter the main hall.
Chu ware is the first in the world, exquisite and magnificent, and so is the palace building.
The exterior of this Jinluan Hall does not look magnanimous, just delicate and gorgeous, but the interior is open and open, making the dragon chair at the end look extraordinarily far away.
Li Lingjun on the dragon chair supported his chin with his hand, as if he was pondering, and seemed to be in a bad mood, so he did not open his eyes to look at the official.
This official followed him from Changling to Lushan, and then to one of the disciples of Chudu, after Liling Jun officially became the emperor of Chu, this doorman was named "Qingzang", which was in the court of the Great Chu Dynasty, just an official responsible for counting the collection of books, although the official rank is not low, but in fact it is an idle position that can be used for the elderly.
Such an official, at such a time, would not have had anything to do.
The slender waist palace maid withdrew from the main hall, and there was no one else in this empty hall except for this monarch and a minister.
There was not a trace of wind, but the hanging bead curtain was moved by a certain breath, and it hit lightly, making a crisp sound.
Li Lingjun's hand and jaw were separated, he slowly raised his head, looked at the official who looked very weak, and said expressionlessly: "Zheng Sleeve's meaning can be transmitted here so quickly?"
The official remained respectful, but did not respond.
Li Lingjun's face did not change, and he didn't know how much time had passed, he looked at the official and said, "What does she want to say to me?"
The officer looked up quietly and said, "She asked me to say a word to you, and she will give you another chance." ”
Looking at his quiet posture, Li Lingjun suddenly thought of someone, and felt a sense of irritability gushing out of his chest and lungs, but when he heard this official's words, he was breathless.
He had guessed a lot of what Zheng Sleeve would say to him, but he didn't expect the official to say such a sentence.
"What do you mean?"
After he was silent for a moment, he said in a slightly cold voice: "You want me to change, or you will kill me?"
The official shook his head and said, "The meaning of giving you another chance is the literal meaning of itself, that is, after this time, I will give you another chance." ”
Li Lingjun didn't say anything more, but his hands on the dragon chair trembled imperceptibly.

Big Cave Mountain.
This is a famous mountain in Chuzhong, the scenery is beautiful, and there are peach orchards everywhere under the mountain.
Dadong Mountain is not a mountain with a big hole, in the Chuzhong area, the so-called big hole, is the big water bo, the water depth is not too deep Daze, in the rest of the dynasties, there are tens of thousands of acres of water surface of the water, even if the water depth is not deep, it is also called a lake.
At the foot of the south of Dadong Mountain, among the peach orchards everywhere, there is a bamboo forest, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, in a fence wall, in addition to a few grass houses, there are ginkgo biloba and loquat trees all around.
A sergeant was standing in awe in the courtyard.
There were four or five people in front of him, and there were several people in the back of the courtyard, all of them were men, and their posture was upright, and some of their movements were like rules and regulations, which was very lawful, and the most important thing was that there was an aura of iron and tenacity on his body that could not be concealed, and they were obviously all cultivators in the army.
After handing a letter to a middle-aged man sitting on a bamboo chair, the sergeant took no longer and left.
The middle-aged man opened the letterhead with a twist of two fingers, and just glanced at the contents of the letterhead, and he smiled undeniably.
"General, Li Mu didn't go himself, but he recommended you to go, and this time he specially asked people to pass the book, I don't know what kind of heart An's heart is. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man's demeanor, a man in black cloth beside him who had been holding an iron face couldn't help it, and said this in a cold voice.
"What do you see he wrote?"
The middle-aged man, known as the Great General, shook his head with a sigh, and flicked his hand, and the letter in his hand hung flatly.
There are only four words on it: "Famous in history".
"Gone down in history?"
The man in black cloth was stunned, frowned again, and said with an unkind face: "What does he mean?"
The middle-aged man exhaled, stood up, and stood with his hands in his hands, but this time, his body seemed to be suddenly tall, and the spirit on his body seemed to be ordering troops on the battlefield, and in front of him stood a dense army with no end in sight.
He didn't look at the subordinates behind him, and said slowly: "The world knows that I Tang Mo and Li Mu are not compatible, causing me to retreat to the mountains and forests, but you should know that I am not compatible with him, but one mountain does not allow two tigers, I am not willing to accept his orders, the most critical point is that in the past Zhou Shanguan battle, he sacrificed a friendly army and did not save it. However, I greatly admired the outcome of that battle. Although he and I don't agree, if we talk about the understanding of character and temperament, and the degree of mutual understanding, I am afraid that no one in the entire Great Chu Dynasty can come out of the way. Since Li Mudu obeyed Zhao Xiangfei's arrangement and stayed in Ying, it meant that he had great confidence in Zhao Xiangfei's arrangement and the outcome of this battle. ”
"In his opinion, I am the strongest leading general, the best commander besides him. ”
After a pause, the middle-aged man laughed with emotion, "Since he thinks he can defeat it, and he recommended me to replace him as the commander, don't you still understand the meaning of these four words?"
The middle-aged man didn't wait for several subordinates behind him to change their faces to reply, but just raised his head leisurely and said, "Such a victory in the battle of millions of armies... It must go down in history, and he gave me the opportunity to go down in history. As for personal anger, before this national feud, it is nothing. Although he will not give up. ”
The subordinate bodies behind him shook at the same time, Qi Qi took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Although I die, I will not give up." ”
When such a voice sounded, several people working in the backyard also stood up straight.
"The knives are rusty, I'm afraid they will have to be sharpened. One of them complained.
"I'm afraid it's a little too late. A man who looked like a scribe picking wild leeks replied solemnly.

......
In Changling City, when the first spring flower began to bloom, although there was no clear will issued, saying that it was treacherous and ignoring the covenant of the Lushan Alliance, the entire Changling, the whole world, and even the ordinary people in the streets and alleys knew that the Great Qin Dynasty had begun to attack Chu.
Even ordinary people even knew that in the Yinshan area at the junction of Chu and Qin, the Great Qin Dynasty had gathered more than 600,000 troops, while in the area of Wushan and Yangshan County, the number of troops was still excessive.
Similarly, the army of the Great Chu Dynasty far exceeded a million people along this long border.
In the eyes of ordinary people, although this battle was rushed, the number of troops invested by both sides probably exceeded any battle in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Even in the most difficult battle to destroy Zhao, the Great Qin Dynasty had an army of more than 500,000 people who destroyed more than 400,000 people of the Zhao Dynasty, which was far from such a scale.
The Great Chu Dynasty has profited again and again in the previous small-scale battles against the Great Qin Dynasty, and today, not only the current Great Qin Dynasty's national strength far exceeds that of the past, but the strength of the Great Chu Dynasty is not weakened by the alternation of emperors, far exceeding the Han, Zhao, and Wei dynasties at that time.
On the side of the Great Qin Dynasty, Sima Cuo, one of the thirteen marquis of the famous Great Qin, was the main one, supplemented by Lian Bo, Fang Qilin and Wei Wuji, and a total of four princes were gathered.
Each prince of the Great Qin Dynasty was not just a symbol of military exploits, but represented a powerful corps, many cultivators and dead soldiers and disciples who cooperated with each other.
Among these four people, Sima Cuo was originally a military advisor, and he was the best military advisor in the Great Qin Dynasty in the past except for Lin Zhujiu, at this time he and Lian Bo were in the prime of life, while Fang Qilin and Wei Wuji were two veterans.
A combination of two young Zhuang factions and two veterans, Fang Qilin is old but steady, and Wei Wuyi is notoriously cunning and cunning, and he is famous for his tactics of attacking from many places, which is most suitable for this kind of army with an extremely long front.
Such a lineup is amazing and perfect in anyone's eyes.
However, what puzzled countless people was that the final commander of the Great Chu Dynasty was Tang Wu, a general who had been idle many years ago.
When Tang Wu had not yet disarmed and returned to the field, he was not one of the highest-ranking generals of the Great Chu Dynasty.
