General Qin

Chapter 372 The Change of Jiangdong

The land of Jiangdong, the hometown of Wu and Yue.

"What does the demise of Chu State have to do with me, Jiangdong?"

In a secret mansion, several men dressed as nobles gathered together, drinking and discussing a very serious topic.

"However, this place is the land of Wu, and our ancestors are from Wu people. Back then, my ancestor Helu, with Sun Wu and Wu Zixu as generals, led a large army to conquer the state of Chu, smashed its capital city, and killed the king of Chu. How happy it was Ah. If it weren’t for the minister of Chu, Shen Baoxu, who cried and asked Qin Shidong to come to his aid, I’m afraid that my country of Wu would have wiped out the country of Chu in a single battle.”

"Wu Chu's feud, now Chu is about to perish, and he was still beaten by the Qin people who helped them in the past. When I heard the news, I wished I could drink two more wines and have fun."

While talking, a Jiangdong nobleman picked up the wine bottle from the case and drank it down in one gulp.

"That's right, his Chu country is now completely lost. I heard that even Xiang Yan was killed by the Qin people by the Huai River, and the main force of the Chu army was wiped out. In the north of the river, there is no longer an inch of Chu people's land. This kind of Under such circumstances, he Xiong Qi, a fake king supported by Xiang Yan, even came to my Jiangdong, asking us Wu people to restore the land and fight against Qin, hehe, is it true that my Wu people's life is not life?"

"There are tens of thousands of Jiangdong disciples, and Xiong Qi followed him to the north, how many people came back in the end?"

"Qin's army is invincible in the world, and now it has destroyed the Three Jins and the Yan Kingdom, and even the King of Chu surrendered to Qin. This Xiong Qi doesn't know the destiny. He is not a good prime minister of Qin, so he came here to do something fake for Chu. Wang, you are courting death."

"I heard that the king of Qin hated Xiong Qi so much that he once said that he would kill Xiong Qi in public. Now that Xiong Qi has come to Jiangdong, the Qin army will follow him sooner or later. In my opinion, his head will be destroyed sooner or later. We were hacked and hung on Xianyang City, we can't follow Xiong Qi to die."

"Xiong Qi wants our family to be buried with him, so why don't we chop off his head and give it to the Qin people. If we make a contribution in front of the Qin army, we may not be able to keep our wealth and power."

"Okay, let's do it!"

After all the discussion, a consensus was reached.

The next moment, all eyes fell on the chief seat, the noble man who had been drinking and not saying a word.

"Mr. Nanwu, we are willing to kill Xiong Qi to meet Master Qin. Please also ask Mr. Nanwu to lead us to do it. We are willing to join forces to attack and kill this traitor of the Qin Kingdom! To be killed by him, Xiong Qi The Jiangdong disciples will take revenge!"

Nan Wujun Wu Yong put down the wine cup.

Looking at the resolute Wu nobles in the room, he smiled and said, "There are 3,000 Chu soldiers left behind in Jiangdong, most of whom are descendants of the original Jingchu people, and now they are controlled by Xiong Qi, so they cannot be ignored. .If we use all our private soldiers to attack him, we may be able to win, but our children will also suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, if you want to capture Xiong Qi, you should use wisdom instead of strong attack."

"Dare to ask Lord Nanwu, how to outwit him?"

Someone asked curiously.

Wu Yong smiled even more.

"I will discuss the matter of resisting Qin, and invite this great king to sit in the mansion. At that time, we will ambush the soldiers in the room, and we can capture them on the spot with just one word. With Xiong Qi in hand, the three Thousands of Chu soldiers are nothing to worry about."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praised again and again: "Nanwu Lord, see you!"

...

"Your Majesty, those nobles from the Wu region really got together in private, and I don't know what they are discussing secretly in the mansion."

Zou Pi walked in and reported in a deep voice.

"Um."

Chu Wangqi was sitting on the couch, playing with a polished rhinoceros horn cup in his hand, with a cold light in his eyes.

He was a rookie on the battlefield and didn't have much military experience. When facing Zhao Tuo's beleaguered move that caused the entire army to collapse, he couldn't come up with any effective method except fear.

But after leaving the battlefield and returning to the officialdom and politics that Chu Wangqi was familiar with, he was a real master after ten years as the prime minister of Qin.

After leading the remnants across the river, King Qi of Chu keenly noticed that the attitude of these Wu nobles in Jiangdong had changed towards him.

Especially when he asked Nan Wujun Wu Yong to recruit soldiers to prepare to defend the river against the Qin army going south, he got the answer of refusal from the Wu people.

After a short period of confusion, the alarm bell rang in Chu Wangqi's heart.

He buried tens of thousands of Jiangdong's children, which has already made Jiangdong people lose confidence in him, the king of Chu, and many people even harbor hatred towards him.

Coupled with the surrender of the King of Chu, all the homeland of Chu State fell, Xiang Yan died in the Huai River, and the Qin army was facing the north of the river, collecting and building boats to cross the river.

The situation in the world has become clear, and it is inevitable for Qin to destroy Chu.

Wuyue people are not fools, and those Jiangdong nobles who occupy high positions and control a lot of wealth and power are not fools.

Unless there is something wrong with their brains, they will help Chu Wangqi fight against the Qin army when the general situation is over.

King Qi of Chu understood these people, so instead of continuing to support him, the King of Chu, against the mighty Qin State.

The more likely choice these Jiangdong nobles made was to chop off Xiong Qi's head and offer it to the Qin army in order to preserve their wealth and power.

"Secret plot... this is the first step."

Chu Wangqi tapped his fingers on the wooden table, and he looked at the tall man with a hulking back and a waist in the room.

Zou Pi.

In the past, King Wei of Chu launched an army to break through Yue, and after killing King Wuqiang of Yue, the family of the King of Yue fled in all directions.

One of them surrendered to the state of Chu and stayed in Jiangdong. It was the ancestor of this Zou Pi.

King Qi of Chu was sent to Jiangdong to appease the troubled Yueren before. In order to deal with the Yueren, he promoted this Zou Pi as a general, and then used a series of methods to calm down the Yueren's affairs.

Zou Pi also became his confidant of King Qi of Chu because of his outstanding ability.

Later, King Qi of Chu led his troops north to support Xiang Yan. In order to prevent Jiangdong from being completely controlled by the Wu nobles such as Nan Wujun, he promoted this Zoupi to be the general of the Chu army who stayed in Jiangdong to fight against Wu Yong and let the local Wu A new balance is formed between people and people.

Looking at it now, he really made the right move with Chu Wangqi's move.

Both Cai Niao and Jing Ju were separated from him during the Jiangbei War, and it is not known whether they were captured by the Qin people. The more than 10,000 Chu soldiers under his command were also beaten and collapsed on the spot, and only a dozen of them were able to cross the river with him.

Under such circumstances, Zou Pi is the only person available to King Qi of Chu today, and the 3,000 Chu troops under his command are also Wang Qi's life-saving soldiers.

"Your Majesty, Lord Nanwu seeks an audience."

Outside the door, a close friend came to report.

Chu Wangqi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Quickly invite Mr. Nan Wu to come in."

Soon, Nan Wujun Wu Yong came in from outside the house.

When he entered the room, he glanced subtly at Zou Pi who was standing in the room. But he said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, that's a good thing! I have persuaded several nobles in Jiangdong in the past two days. They are afraid that the Qin people will cross the river, and they are willing to donate their private soldiers. At the same time, they recruited people as soldiers to assist the king. Resist the Qin State together, and block those Qin people to the north of the river!"

"oh?"

Chu Wangqi's face was full of joyful smiles.

"It's so good, it's so good! Lord Nanwu is really Bugu's loyal minister! Bugu is very relieved, and I would like to entrust all the state affairs to Lord Nanwu with Lord Nanwu as our Minister of Chu!"

"Your Majesty is over-reputed, and it is your duty to be loyal to the country. This is Ling Yin's position, and a minister must never dare to take it."

Wu Yong sneered in his heart as he declined.

Ling Yin of Chu State?

Waiting to be remembered by the people of Qin and cut off his head?

He hurriedly bypassed this topic, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in the mansion and invite the king to come. At that time, I will discuss with everyone the matter of fighting against Qin."

A cold light flashed in Chu Wangqi's eyes, but he smiled on his face: "It's better to let Bugu hold a banquet in this palace, and invite all the lords to come."

Wu Yong's complexion remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "People in Jiangdong are familiar with the minister, and they should be more comfortable in the minister's mansion."

Wu Yong looked at Chu Wangqi, and now it was the great king who asked him, so he was naturally tough in speaking, not afraid that Chu Wangqi would not agree.

Sure enough, King Qi of Chu gave in immediately, and said: "Since that's the case, Bugu will come tomorrow, and everything will be arranged according to Ling Yin."

Wu Yong smiled.

Come on, I will give you a big surprise tomorrow.

Chu Wangqi also laughed.

His heart was extremely cold.

...

On the second day.

On Nan Wujun's mansion.

"Wait a while and listen to me throwing a wine scorpion as a sign. You will rush out and take Xiong Qi down. This is a great achievement, and I will reward you heavily."

Wu Yong ordered more than a dozen trusted soldiers in front of him to lie behind the axe and in the inner room.

"only."

All the soldiers bowed their hands together.

Several Jiangdong nobles around laughed, and said to Wu Yong: "Mr. Nan Wu is really resourceful. This strategy is very high, very high!"

Being praised by others, Wu Yong also couldn't help saying: "Xiong Qi has only three thousand soldiers now, and his strength is weak. If he wants to fight against the Qin army, he must rely on our strength, so I invited him here. He has no choice but to come. Hehe, this is the trend!"

"What a momentum! Wait for a while, we can see the head rolling to the ground, hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

After a while, someone came to report that it was the king of Chu who was driving his car.

"Let's go, let's go to meet the king and send him to see the chief minister."

Wu Yong walked towards the door.

All the nobles laughed together, and followed him happily.

Soon, at the gate of the Nanwu Lord's Mansion, Chu Wangqi's car came here under the escort of three hundred warriors.

Wu Yong nodded slightly, these three hundred guards are not too many, after capturing Xiong Qi later, he can take advantage of the situation to trap and kill these people.

"Hehe, Lord Nanwu's mansion is really magnificent."

Chu Wangqi got off the carriage, and Nu Pi who was beside him immediately followed the guards up.

"Your Majesty welcomes you."

Wu Yong immediately saluted and kowtowed with all the nobles.

However, before they finished their ceremony, Chu Wangqi said a word.

"I heard that in the palace, there is a dead man who intends to assassinate Bu Gu."

In an instant, the expressions of all the Jiangdong nobles present changed drastically, and some of them with poor mental quality even knelt down on the spot.

This time, anyone can see that there is a problem.

"Your Majesty, this is slander. This minister is loyal to His Majesty and the state of Chu, there is absolutely no such thing!"

Wu Yong cried out, and immediately after that, he was kicked over by Nu Pi.

The rest of the Jiangdong nobles were also captured on the spot by Chu Wangqi's guards without any precaution.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

In the shouts of the crowd.

The guards of the king of Chu entered the mansion, and soon found the soldiers hiding in the house.

When Chu Wangqi sent people to escort Nan Wujun and all the Jiangdong nobles into the mansion, and when he saw those soldiers who were subdued and hacked to death, he could no longer deny it.

Faced with this situation, Nanwu Lord Wu Yong no longer appealed for grievances, but instead became tough.

"Xiong Qi, this Jiangdong is our Jiangdong, so what can you do if you take us down today? If you kill us, the whole Jiangdong will definitely turn against you. If you don't need Qin people to go south, your life will be lost. How about you Let us go, we can have a good discussion, after this incident, we also know your ability, and we will definitely help you fight against Qin."

"Anti-me? Anti-Qin?"

Chu Wangqi smiled, but the light in his eyes was very cold.

"No."

"This Jiangdong, I don't want Bugu."

As he said that, Chu Wangqi picked up a wine bottle from the case and threw it heavily on the ground.

"kill!"

In an instant, people's heads rolled down in Nan Wujun's mansion.

"Zou Pi, take people to raid the homes of these people. Distribute part of their property to the soldiers under your command. Then, take all the treasures and items, and we will go south."

King Chu Qi had no expression on his face. He first glanced to the north, then turned to look to the south.

"Jiangdong can't be defended. I will go to Yuedi and seek refuge with those barbaric Yueren."

"Luring them with wealth and scaring them with threatening words, Bugu wants to make those Yue people the enemies of Qin."

"Bugu wants to make Qin's southern border never peaceful."

...

Jiangbei, Guangling.

A long black dragon came from the north, covering the sky with banners and spears like a forest.

Seeing this scene, the nearby Chu people were all trembling with fright, and fled in all directions, fearing that tens of thousands of Qin soldiers would beheaded as military exploits.

"General."

Zhong Limei came to greet him with his soldiers.

Zhao Tuo got out of the car, helped him up, and said gently, "Zhongli, I haven't seen you for half a month, but you have lost some weight. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhong Limei shook his head and said: "The last general is incompetent. He was ordered by the general to hunt down and kill the false king Xiong Qi, but let him escape across the river. Please punish him."

Zhao Tuo comforted him and said, "When you met Cai Niao who led an army to attack, he was able to defeat tens of thousands of Chu people with thousands of people, and finally defeated the Chu army with General Yang and defeated the enemy general Cai Niao. How can such a great achievement be done?" It's a crime."

"Xiong Qi should just run away. If he can run away for a while, he can run away forever."

With that said, Zhao Tuo turned his head and looked at the river in the distance.

On the other side of the vast river is the land of Jiangdong.

"When my army crosses the river, I will make that Xiong Qi have nowhere to escape."

"Jiangdong is where he died!"
