In the timeline we are familiar with, Xiong Sheng, that is, Bai Gongsheng's "imprisoning the king of Chu and calling himself king", should have been six years ago.

Similarly, the most fundamental reason is because he ordered Yin Zixi to release his pigeons, promised him to attack Zheng Guo without attacking, and also used various reasons to prevaricate.

Not only that, when the Jin State attacked Zheng State, Zixi also led the army to rescue Zheng State, and after successfully repelling the Jin State, Zixi directly formed an alliance with Zheng State.

This incident can be said to have choked Xiong Sheng's anger enough, not only told Zixi's son that he wanted to kill Zixi, but also sharpened his sword in front of him.

At that time, the state of Wu had not yet perished, and it still had the ability to invade the state of Chu.

Bai Gongsheng's Baidi, as a bridgehead for the invasion of Chu, naturally inevitably had to face the Wu army.

So Xiong Sheng led the army to resist, won the battle, and took advantage of the opportunity to sacrifice the spoils of war, and took the warrior Shi Su to kill Ling Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi in the court, and imprisoned the king of Chu in the palace.

After Ye Gong, who was recuperating in his hometown of Xincai, heard about this incident, he immediately led the border guards outside Fangcheng to Chudu to quell the rebellion.

On the way out, he was supported and supported by the people of Chu State, and praised him: "The people of the country look forward to the king as much as their parents." ”

The rebels collapsed in an instant, the puppet Chu king Bai Gongsheng hanged himself, Shi Su was cooked, and the state of Chu was able to turn the corner from danger.

Because of this incident, Ye Gong was promoted to Chu Lingyin and Sima, combining military and political power, which can be called unprecedented and unprecedented.

And in the timeline of this world, Bai Gongsheng did not launch a rebellion until the fall of the Wu Kingdom, and Ye Gong was still in Ye Di at this time, and he was already seventy-seven years old.

As in the story, he did like the pictures of dragons, but he was not so exaggerated, at least the clothes and corners of his clothes were not carved with dragons, but he was dressed in some plain scribe white clothes.

He was like a very ordinary rich man, with gray hair and a sharp gaze that was difficult to look at.

"Duke Danyang and Duke Bai imprisoned the King of Chu?" he asked, looking at the two little nobles in the living room.

These two little nobles are from Yingdu, they look dusty, and the gorgeous clothes on their bodies are also a little shabby.

Originally, they were three people, and they came to Yedi from Chudu with their respective servants.

Yingdu is far away from the leaf land, saying that it is not far away, saying that it is not close, it is not close to it, and it is not happy to travel along the way. But when passing through Danyang, there was a little conflict with a branch of the Qu clan, which lost a lot of people, and even left a companion in Danyang.

Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang didn't like the aristocracy of Yingdu, exaggerated and extravagant, and the most uncomfortable thing was that this group of guys actually admired "Confucianism" and learned Zhou Gong etiquette and music for the sake of so-called "civilization".

He had seen the first defender of Kongqiu, the man who was nearly two meters tall, and he was indeed quite capable in governing the people and teaching and educating people.

But can the state of Chu use the Confucian set?

When King Zhou Heng was in the past, when Chu Jun Xiong Tong was rejected in order to ask for a title, he directly transgressed and claimed to be the king, that is, the king of Chu Wu.

Since then, the contradictions between the king of Chu and the king of Zhou have never stopped.

What is the difference between a country that pursues hegemony and is thriving to go back and restore the system of etiquette and music, which is the difference between walking backwards, it is simply a strategy to destroy the country!

Ye Gong's mind was a little divergent, and he glanced at the two nobles sitting in the living room.

Although he was quite displeased with the timid appearance, it was already good compared to those moths.

"Yes...... At the beginning, when we killed Ling Yin Gongsun Xi at the entrance of the vegetable market, we sensed that something was wrong and immediately escaped. Later, when passing through Danyang, the news was confirmed. ”

"So you came to me?" Shen Zhuliang asked with a smile, "What's the use of you coming to me, an old man? I'm too old to lead troops to fight anymore." ”

"Ye Cheng is in the prime of life, how can he easily say that he is old?"

"Yes, if Ye Gongyan is old, then who in the Chu State can take on the responsibility of saving the country?"

Shen Zhuliang smiled and didn't answer, shook his head and said, "The two of you came from afar, and the journey was tiring, so it's better to rest in the mansion first, and the matter will be discussed tomorrow." ”

"But the military crisis, every day that drags on, the King of Chu will be in danger for one day, you ......"

Another nobleman grabbed his companion and then said to the king of Chu: "Then there is Lao Yegong to arrange." ”

Shen Zhuliang called his housekeeper and arranged the two of them in the guest room.

The two young nobles saluted and left, and after leaving the living room, the nobleman who was stopped asked, "Jiang Wu, why did you stop me just now?"

Jiang Wu explained: "Deng Gu, as a famous elder, Ye Gong naturally has his own considerations, and it is actually a very rude thing for us to make decisions for the elders. ”

Deng Gu was a little unconvinced: "Even if he is an elder, can he ignore the danger of the country and the safety of the king?"

Jiang Wu persuaded: "Ye Gong is a sensible person, and the most important thing now is because Bai Gongsheng only imprisoned the King of Chu and did not do anything to the King of Chu. And Qu Xie did not establish himself as the king, and Xiong Sheng did not establish himself as the king, and the two of them can only be regarded as controlling the government now. Ye Gong sent troops, there was no righteousness, and he was defending the frontier, and he couldn't send a large army casually, so hesitation was certain. Do you think it's possible to lead a large army out of the line of defense based on our words alone?"

Deng Gu was silent.

....................................

In the living room, after the two young nobles left, from behind the screen, a peasant-like figure came out.

His dark skin had deep marks like knife cuts, and his hands were rough, like the hands of working people, but his eyes burst with wisdom.

"Yizhi, what do you think?"

"What are you looking at?" asked a middle-aged man named Yizhi.

"These two little nobles. ”

"Young, driven, and with a self-righteous righteousness in his chest. ”

Yizhi's comments are very sharp and direct, and he has an appetite for Shen Zhuliang.

"What about the King of Chu being imprisoned?" Shen Zhuliang continued to ask.

"You know better than I do, don't you?" asked Yizhi rhetorically, "how calculating and unfathomable that the king must have been taught at that time. ”

Shen Zhuliang was silent and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, Ye Gongcai spoke again: "Fifteen years ago, when the king had just established the king, I talked to the king about Bai Gongsheng, and we all thought that Bai Gongsheng had great plans and wolf ambitions. Over the years, the king has not given Bai Gongsheng a chance to go against the grain several times. I didn't expect it to be ...... now."

"Wait for news from Yingdu. "In any case, only if you are sure that the king is dead, you will have a reason to send troops." ”

Ye Gong thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is another way, we just need to find another righteousness." ”

"Righteousness?" Yizhi reacted quickly, "You said Gongzizhong?"

"That's right. Ye Gong nodded, "The only son of the king is also his son-in-law, and he is righteous in himself." ”

"But didn't he escape from Yingdu?"

Ye Gong said: "This kid is very smart, he should go to Jumu to find you for help." After all, you've been his teacher before. ”

"I see, I'll arrange it next. ”

"Please......"

....................................

The pontoon bridge of the wharf was crowded with civilians waiting to leave, and they looked at the boat that was far away from them, their expressions full of numbness and helplessness.

"Where's the ship carrying us?" asked a little girl of five or six, looking up timidly.

“......”

No one spoke, everyone blinked and let out a long sigh.

"What are you doing?"

A clear young man's voice sounded, and everyone turned around and saw the legendary figure of the Yan Louyi.

In an instant, the entire pontoon seemed to have been blown up!

"Mr. Ouyang?!"

"Mr. Ouyang is back?"

"Mr. Ouyang, two days after you left, something terrible happened to Yanlou!"

"Mr. Ouyang, please save us!"

"Our ship is gone!Mr. Ouyang, what can we do!"

"Mr. Ouyang, can you contact Shouchun?"

The villagers around you said everything you said, and Ouyang's ears were "buzzing".

"Quiet——!" Ouyang shouted, and the pontoon bridge was silent again.

"Come, Uncle Li. Ouyang casually ordered a villager and said, "You come and tell me what's going on." ”

Uncle Li told Ouyang everything that had happened in the past two days, from the destruction of the Ivy Spring Hospital, to the night of the zombies, and then to the appearance of the commander in the Xiong Gongzi during the day.

After listening to this, Ouyang asked, "So that ship is actually there to move you to a safe place, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's it, the boat was supposed to let the villagers go up. Wang Sheng walked over from behind with a bow on his back and said.

"Then why did you drive away now?"

"The centurion who commanded the soldiers, and the high-ranking nobles who were in charge of the city, boarded the ship and left. Uncle Li replied, "They left without even burning all the corpses, leaving only such a useless centurion." ”

The centurion, who was named, turned his head in embarrassment, and it was not pleasant to be treated as an outcast.

"Tsk, selfish aristocrat, it's really better than a pig and a dog!" Ouyang scolded, not caring that he was actually a nobleman.

"What about the other ships?" asked Ouyang.

"The other ships were either set on fire or destroyed by living corpses. Wang Sheng said, "There is only that one left." It is necessary to find a place for the villagers to take refuge before sunset, and once it is dark, the city will turn into hell. ”

"How about the Ivy Spring Medical Room?" Jiang Yu walked over and suggested, "There are a lot of bamboo spears arranged in the medical room, which should be able to resist them for a while." And the roof of the hospital was built so high and spacious that we could go to the roof for the night, and the living corpses couldn't come up at all. ”

"With so many people, the hospital may not be able to survive. Wang Sheng also suggested, "You can also go to the mansions of those nobles, the largest mansion has two floors, we can tear down the stairs, and we can stay for one night." ”
