The state of Chu is a large country in the south of the Eastern Tu Shenzhou, with a territory of thousands of miles and a vast territory. In order to rule the largest empire in the south, the Chu Emperor gave most of the land to the clan, resulting in a large number of feudal states in this large empire.

As the court of Chu gradually weakened, and some feudal states became stronger and stronger, the sub-feudal system originally used to consolidate the rule evolved into a situation where the lord was weak and the minister was strong.

The seven larger feudal states on the eastern coast gradually overwhelmed the imperial court because of the abundant salt and iron along the coast and the prosperity of agriculture and fishery, and gradually did not take the imperial court and the emperor in their eyes.

Among them, the Donghai State was the most powerful among the Seven Kingdoms, disrespecting the imperial edicts, privately collecting taxes from farmers and merchants, appointing hundreds of officials, and training the army, which had become the most powerful force in the Chu State except for the imperial court, and even had the tendency to suppress the imperial court.

After this generation of Chu emperors ascended the throne, they saw that the strong branches and weak cadres were about to become successful, so they had the intention of cutting down the order to weaken the feudal state and strengthen the authority of the imperial court. It's a pity that as soon as the intention of cutting the fan was born, the Seven Kingdoms raised troops to rebel.

The Seven G-Nation Group had many generals and a wide range of soldiers, and they repeatedly embezzled the prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court, and the imperial court was defeated and resisted bitterly. Now the two sides have been at war for more than 20 years, and more than a dozen states directly under the imperial court are occupied by rebels. Now the two sides are fighting for control of Wuzhou.

Luo Yin inquired about the beginning and end of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms on the way, and felt that this plot seemed to be a bit like the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty in the previous life, which was caused by the feudal system to make the country bigger, and then raised troops to rebel.

It's just that the difference is that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty has superb means, and he pacified the Seven Kingdoms in only a few years, while the Chu Emperor of this world does not have such means, and he can only resist it for more than 20 years, and he continues to lose ground.

Originally, the civil strife in the Chu State was not his own business, and he did not need to worry about the Chu court. It's just that the place chosen by this immortal dojo is a little wrong, and the Wuzhou and Lingshan County of Wuzhou that I want to go to are the battlefields that the two sides have repeatedly fought for.

Luo Yin had to move forward cautiously in this war zone, for fear of straying into the battlefield of the army and being attacked by the pond fish.

Along the way, I saw barren fields and empty villages. The people of Wuzhou had to flee with their families due to the war, and the remaining people who could not escape could only struggle to survive.

In July, Luo Yin finally entered the boundary of Lingshan County, Wuzhou, and he looked around for someone to inquire about the specific location of Qingyang Mountain. However, it was found that this Lingshan County was even more uninhabited by the war, and the villages and towns encountered along the way were only remnants of the eaves and broken walls, and there was no one to ask for directions.

In desperation, he could only wander around, hoping to find Lingshan County, only there could be people, and it was possible for him to find Qingyang Mountain.

On this day, he was trudging through a small hill, and as he walked, he seemed to hear the shouts and the neighing of horses. He listened to the voice of a person he had heard for the first time in many days, and his heart was full of excitement, but it was mixed with a hint of fear.

Excitedly, I finally found the trace of the person, and I might be able to find out the location of Qingyang Mountain, and I was afraid that this shout and hissing sound indicated that this place might be the battlefield of the battle between the two armies.

He stealthily and quietly walked towards the place where the sound came, and after climbing over a low hill in front of him, a picture appeared before his eyes, and shook his eyes and heart.

Beneath the hill is an open plain, on which two groups of men and horses stand distinctly, and they are facing each other nervously. On the left is an army dressed in black and carrying the banner of Chu, and on the right is an army dressed in colorful clothes and carrying the banners of the East China Sea, Yue, and Song.

The two sides had not yet started a war at this time, only the shouts of soldiers and the neighing of war horses echoed in the heavens and the earth, and the whole battlefield was a solemn scene, which made people shudder.

Luo Yin was stunned as he looked at the two armies facing each other at the foot of the mountain, shocked by the murderous aura and the boundless number of people in the sky.

In his previous life, he had heard that the number of people was boundless. But at this time, it was boundless, because he couldn't see how many people were in front of him, and he couldn't see the end of the number at all, as if the whole world was a black soldier.

He had seen many big war scenes in movies, and he was amazed at the grandeur of the battlefield at the time, but when he saw the real confrontation between the two armies at this time, he found that the big scenes of those movies were simply weak.

Only this kind of confrontation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in reality can be called a big scene and truly shocking!

He looked at the flames of war that was about to burn at the foot of the mountain and chose to retreat. This was not the place he was supposed to be, and if the two sides went to war, there was a good chance that it would be affected. Moreover, both sides of the war will definitely station scouts around the battlefield to patrol to prevent the other side from sneaking up. Once discovered by the scouts, he is likely to be killed as a spy.

He turned and fled as fast as he could, praying that he wouldn't run into scouts along the way. When he escaped for a few miles, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded behind him, and the two sides must have started a war. He couldn't help but speed up his escape, because if one side was defeated, the rout and pursuers might come in his own direction, and then it would be dangerous.

After running for more than an hour, he saw that there was no sign of a rout behind him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the ground as soon as he was weak. He was really tired from running for more than an hour without rest, but he was lucky to be able to run to safety.

When he was resting, he saw a vague village in the distance, and he struggled to get up, but found that his legs and feet were too sore, and he had no strength at all, so he had to continue to lie on the ground to rest. Lying down, I fell asleep because I was too tired, and went to meet with Zhou Gongxiang.

After a while, he sat up sharply, listened as if he was looking for something, and then he stood up and looked around.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of something, there are really rebels coming here, and there are quite a few of them. ”

He picked up his backpack and bag and ran towards the village where he had seen it. It was not a good place to rest and hide in the wilderness, and he had to run to the village, where he could hide from the rebels.

After a stick of incense, Luo Yin ran to this village. I saw that this village was very small, and there were only about 20 families in total.

He ran into the village and found it silent, with the doors of every house open, and there was not a single figure in sight. The village was similar to what I had encountered along the way, with villagers either dying in the war or fleeing for other places.

The houses in this village are basically wooden or thatched houses, so he chose one and looked around to find a suitable hiding place.

Unfortunately, there was very little furniture in this house, and it was empty, and there was no place to hide people. He looked at several other houses, and found that they were all the same structure, and there was no suitable hiding place.

At this time, the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, he knew that he had to quickly find a place to hide. In a hurry, his eyes saw the roofs of the surrounding houses, and he said, "There is a place, this place must not be easy to find." ”

After choosing a place, he hid his backpack and bags in the haystack outside the house, and then grabbed the beams and quickly climbed onto the roof of the thatched house, carefully found a place supported by the beams to lie down, and then grabbed the thatch around him and covered his body, completely covering his whole body under the thatch, leaving only a small gap in front of him to observe the movement below.

When he had just finished hiding, he could only hear the footsteps outside the village, and after a while, a group of embarrassed people in black military uniforms ran in and appeared in Luo Yin's sight.

He recognized this group of black-clothed people, who were one of the warring parties at that time, and judging from the banners he saw at the time, this group of people should be the soldiers and horses of the Chu Imperial Court. It's just that at this time, there are only a dozen of them left, all of them covered in blood, and they look miserable as if they were fleeing.

After the group came to the village, they sat directly on the ground one by one, gasping for breath, and even threw their weapons on the ground. Among them was a young man, looking in his twenties, as if he was their leader, and even if he was extremely tired, he was guarded by them in the center.

"This young man should be a person of status, but I don't know which of the sons of the big men in the court came to gild. Just looking at it like this, I'm afraid that this gold can't be plated, and it is estimated that even a small life will be put into it. Luo Yin looked at the scene in the open space in the village and couldn't help but think in his heart.

Sure enough, I only heard someone among the soldiers say: "Lord Wang, this group of thieves is chasing too closely, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape?"

When Luo Yin heard this, he said in his heart: "Good girl, I thought it was the son of a big man's family, but I didn't expect it to be small, and I was still a prince." ”

The young man who was called the prince stuck his sword on the ground, listened to the sound of the horse's hooves gradually approaching, and said, "Our two legs must not be able to outrun their four legs, so it is better to fight here and see if we can fight a bloody way." Otherwise, you won't be able to escape far at all, and you will be caught up, and then I am afraid that you will not even have the strength to fight for your life. ”

The sergeants responded: "Obey the orders of the prince, and fight to the death against this group of traitors here." ”

The young prince looked at the weak soldiers on the ground, and said guiltily: "It's all me who has caused you trouble, if it weren't for my identity, they wouldn't be so desperate to chase after you, and you would still have a chance to escape." It's all my fault, and I'm the one who hurt you. ”

When the sergeants heard him say this, they hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and said, "It is our duty to protect the safety of the prince. Now we are derelict in our duty and fail to protect the prince, and we deserve to die. ”

The prince hurriedly helped everyone on the ground up, and was relieved again and again.

Luo Yin looked at the little prince's style, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a powerful person, when he is at the end of his life, he still doesn't forget to care about his subordinates and buy people's hearts." This is simply a natural hero like Liu Bang and Liu Bei, if he escapes this catastrophe, he will become a great weapon in the future. ”

Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves was already approaching, and as soon as Luo Yin saw a flower in front of him, he saw a group of cavalry rushing into the village and surrounding Wang Ye and more than a dozen people.

He roughly counted that there must have been at least fifty or sixty horsemen in this troop. I'm afraid that this prince and the others will be unfortunate this time, and I just thought that he was a great figure, and I didn't expect to die here.

"King Wu Xiongjing, don't hurry up and arrest him, follow me back to the king to listen to the fate. A leader-like man with a war knife in his hand pointed at the young prince and shouted.
