Chapter 242 Da Qin must have the King of Chu who belongs to Da Qin!
Zhaocen Mansion.
King Han of Chu came directly to Zhaocen's mansion after leaving the city wall.
While at the city wall, Zhaocen was able to leave with an excuse.
But at home, where can Zhaocen go?
He could only sit opposite Chu King Han in the main hall, listening to Chu King Han's sincere persuasion: "I know how many difficulties every clan has..."
"Boom!"
A while A loud noise interrupted King Chu Han's words.
Like a teacher faced with the bell ringing, King Han of Chu had to stop temporarily, and then continued: "However, there are 60,000 Qin troops hoarding outside now, and our army already has 30,000 defending the city. ..."
"Boom!"
There was another roar, and King Chu endured the anxiety in his heart and waited for a few breaths before speaking again: "Even if the Qin army cannot be completely wiped out in this battle, Shouchun City will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
"Ruozhao's family I don’t blame the Zhao family for still being unwilling to send private soldiers to join the war."
"But Zhao Zuoyin is willing to let the Jing family take all the credit for this battle?"
The roar sounded again, Chu. Wang Han was no longer anxious.
He has finished what he wants to say, and what is waiting for next is Zhaocen's decision.
However, to the disappointment of Chu King Han, Zhaocen apologetically handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, my Zhao family has never chosen not to recruit private soldiers because of interests."
"It is really the Zhao family that is incapable of recruiting more private soldiers." With his private soldiers, I can only watch Shouchun City being surrounded and helpless."
"As long as the Zhao family has a little bit of strength, they will definitely do their best for my great Chu!"
< br>The king of Chu Han's eyes were gloomy: "Zhao Zuoyin, are you really unwilling to help me?"
Zhao Cen handed over his hand again: "I am incompetent!"
King Chu Han wanted to persuade him again, but a eunuch quickly ran to Chu King Han and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there are cracks in the east city wall."
Chu King Han's pupils shrank suddenly: " Really?”
How long has it been since the war started?
It’s not even a day yet!
As a result, the east city wall cracked?
If this is true, then not only the east city wall will be cracked, but also Chu King Han!
The eunuch immediately said: "How dare you deceive the king!"
Having never seen it with his own eyes, King Chu Han did not believe it at all.
Having no intention of persuading Zhao Cen any more, King Chu stood up and said, "Zhao Zuo Yin can think more about it."
"I am waiting for you, my beloved!"
Zhaocen immediately handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, thank you for your favor!"
After seeing King Han Han of Chu leave the mansion, Zhaocen immediately ordered: "Go to the city wall quickly to inquire about the battle situation!"
Waiting for the soldiers After leaving, Zhaocen strode back to the main hall and saw two figures walking into the main hall from the side hall.
Zhao Cen hurriedly raised his hands and greeted with a smile: "Young Master Fuchu, Mr. Qi, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I hope you two will forgive me!"
Xiong Fuchu smiled warmly: "What crime did Zhao Zuoyin commit?"
"It was just an evil guest who came to the door, which disturbed our elegance."
Xiong Fuchu He compared King Chu Han to an evil guest, but Zhaocen did not dare to agree.
Smiling, Zhaocen changed the subject: "The king came up to look for me to recruit more troops from the Zhao family, and he left suddenly just now."
"From this point of view, the situation in this battle does not seem to be the same. Not going well.”
Xiong Qi nodded: "As far as I know, Lord Chang'an has come up with many new siege equipment."
"Shouchun City's defense alone is difficult to withstand for too long."
< br>Zhaocen looked surprised: "Although Shouchun City is not a majestic city, it can be said to be a strong city."
"Such a city can't stop Lord Chang'an's siege equipment for too long?"
Xiong Qi said with enthusiasm: "Let's talk about Chang'an Jun's newly built catapult."
"I haven't seen his true appearance yet, but from watching the military report, we can tell that even a city as powerful as Daliang City is as afraid of a catapult as a tiger."
"Daliang City is like this, let alone my Shouchun City?"
< br>"The current roar should be caused by the catapult throwing flying stones and hitting the city wall."
Xiong Fuchu immediately asked: "Do you know how to build that catapult?"
Xiong Qiyao He shook his head: "I don't know why, your Majesty and the Lord of Chang'an guard against your younger brother like a wolf."
"This is the true goal of Da Qin's expedition. I only found out about it after General Wang Jian entered the territory of Zhao."
"Not to mention these new weapons."
Xiong Xiong Fuchu sighed softly: "How could it be so."
Xiong Qi thought that Xiong Fuchu was regretting that he could not get Qin's new ordnance.
As a result, I saw Xiong Negichu looking at me with pity: "How could they treat my brother like this?"
"My brother must have had a hard time in Qin these years."
One sentence brought Xiong Qi to tears.
My brother has had a very difficult time in Qin these past years.
The truth is that he is also the Prime Minister of Great Qin after all!
How come the king and Lord Chang'an guard against the truth as much as they guard against outsiders!
Xiong Qi shook his head bitterly: "Even the Prime Minister of Qin is far inferior to the Young Master of Chu!"
While he was speaking, the soldiers quickly entered the main hall.
Just as he was about to whisper into Zhaocen’s ear, he heard Zhaocen’s instructions: “Both young masters trust people, and I, the Zhao family, have nothing to say to others.”
“ That's it."
The soldiers immediately handed over their hands and said, "Only after I inquired, I learned that the Qin army's flying rocks caused serious damage to our Shouchun City wall."
"There are cracks in the east city wall!"
"In addition, the Qin army has just released a thousand prisoners, and these prisoners are screaming for help outside the south city gate."
Zhaocen and Xiong Fuchu stood up together. , asked in disbelief: "The east city wall has cracked?!"
Although the cracks do not mean that the city is broken.
But how long has it been since the Qin army began to attack the city?
It’s not even a day yet!
The soldiers bowed their hands and saluted: "I went to the east city wall to see for myself, and there are indeed cracks."
Xiong Qidu was so shocked.
He had indeed heard that the catapult built by Ying Chengyu was very powerful.
But he never expected that the catapult built by Ying Chengyu would be so powerful!
But after all, Xiong Qi had heard of the reputation of the catapult, so he quickly accepted this fact and noticed another strange thing.
"Brother (Second Brother)." Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "The Qin Army will not release thousands of prisoners for no reason."
"Chang'an Lord may be using this method Get in touch with my brother.”
Xiong Fuchu said clearly: “Leave this matter to my brother.”
With Xiong Fuchu’s cooperation, Zhuang Jia not only successfully entered Shou. Chuncheng even entered Zhaocen's mansion unimpeded.
Looking at Zhao Cen and Xiong Qi sitting in the main hall, Zhuang Jia solemnly raised his hands: "Zhuang Jia, the Marquis of Great Qin, pays homage to Xiangbang and Zhao Zuoyin!"
Xiong Qi nodded slightly: "The Lord of Chang'an sent you into the city. "What's the matter?" Zhuang Jia took a few steps forward, took out the bamboo slip and offered it with both hands: "Here is the handwriting of Lord Chang'an. Please look at it!"
Take the bamboo slip and check it. After sealing the mud, Xiong Qi cut open the mud and unfolded the bamboo slips, and a line of writing came into view.
[Our troops have arrived outside Shouchun City and are attacking Shouchun City. 】
[However, I don’t want to commit more crimes of killing, and I only yearn for peace. 】
【Therefore, I ask the prime minister to lobby the Zhao family and tell the Zhao family that if the Jing family defends the city, it will be a great disadvantage to the Zhao family, so as to lure the Zhao family, if the Zhao family agrees, please go into the night Later, fires were set up in three places in the south of the city to report. 】
【Please tell the Jing family again, Shouchun is the Shouchun of the King of Chu, but Gusu is the Gusu of the Jing family. 】
【If the Jing family is stubborn and still resists, then I will send my troops south to attack Gusu and massacre it! 】
【If Mr. Jing is willing to make amends with me, please raise fires in three places in the north of the city after nightfall to let me know. 】
[Later, I ask the Prime Minister to lobby the King of Chu, convey my yearning for peace, and strive to reach a peace treaty with the King of Chu. 】
There are many words 'peace' on the bamboo slips, but there are two words written between the lines on the bamboo slips: 'kill'!
On weekdays, Ying Chengyu is not a gentleman, but he has a kind heart towards Qian Shou.
But it was such a pitiful general who now openly carried out the ‘Slaughter City’ as a threat!
Holding the bamboo slips, Xiong Qi could already feel the violence and anger in Ying Chengyu's heart.
[The prince of Chang'an has become a dragon, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister! 】
【I also wish Xiangbang to be able to act appropriately in the Chu Kingdom. Although this battle weakens the authority of the King of Chu, it may allow Xiangbang to get help from various clans! 】
Seeing the last sentence, Xiong Qi's heart skipped a beat.
What does this mean?
If Shouchun City is really breached, the authority of Chu King Han will definitely be severely damaged.
If Xiong Qi can get the support of many clans at this time, then Xiong Qi...
His~
Xiong Han is the son of King Chu Kaolie, and I, Xiong Qi, am also the son of King Chu Kaolie .
He Xiong Han can sit on the throne of King Chu, why can't I, Xiong Qi, do it?
No, no, no!
In addition to Xiong Han, King Chu Kaolie also had a legitimate son, Xiong You.
Unless Xiong You also dies, it is possible for Xiong Qi to ascend to a high position with the help of the clan!
Unless Xiong You is also dead...
Once this idea emerges, it will be difficult to suppress it.
Xiong Qi silently put the bamboo slips into the stove and said quietly: "The truth is that I know Lord Chang'an's intentions."
"Please Zhuang Jia temporarily stay in Shouchun City and listen to the Prime Minister's instructions."
Zhuang Jia solemnly handed over his hands: "Wei!"
After Zhuang Jia left with his soldiers, Xiong Negicu came again Enter the main hall.
Smelling the smell of the bamboo being roasted, Xiong Qi asked casually, "Brother Qi, what does Lord Chang'an want?"
Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "Xiang Qi Rongsuo's troops should have arrived at Xinzheng City."
"Mr. Chang'an is anxious."
Xiong Fuchu smiled and clapped his hands: "You are worthy of being the son of Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu, you are really brave!"
Xiong Qi shook his head: "Chang'an The relationship between you and the King of Qin is very good."
"If the King of Qin dies, the Lord of Chang'an will definitely attack Shouchun City and massacre the city after conquering it."
Xiong Negi Chuxiao! Can't come out: "Won't Lord Chang'an return to the army immediately to seize the throne?"
Shouchun City was breached, which was a good thing for Xiong Fuchu.
But if Ying Chengyu massacres the city after breaking it, then Xiong Fuchu has no chance of escaping Shouchun City alive!
After Xiong Qi pondered for a while, he shook his head again: "If Lord Chang'an wanted to be powerful, he would not endure it until now."
"And even if Lord Chang'an slaughters Shouchun first and then returns to Qin, as long as As long as Lord Chang'an is alive, no one in the Qin Dynasty can seize the throne from Lord Chang'an!"
"I believe that the Zhao family can help the Qin State, the clan, and even Shouchun City!"
Xiong Negichu nodded slowly: "I think so too."
Zhao Cen bowed his hand and said, "The Zhao family will not betray Da Chu."
"I will send troops to the palace. Let’s defend the city together.”
“However, my troops are too exhausted, and it is beyond my control to be tired and weak while defending the city.”
Xiong Qi stood up and smiled: "Good!"
"Brother, I still need to go to persuade the Jing clan. Say goodbye!"
After leaving the Zhao clan in a hurry, Xiong Qizhi entered the Jing clan and saw Jing Chou sitting alone in the main hall with a serious expression on his face.
Looking up at Xiong Qi, Jingchou forced a smile and bowed his hands: "I wonder why Master Qi came here?"
Xiong Qi returned the salute by cupping his hands and said, "I am here, Master. , to convey the wishes of Lord Chang'an."
" Lord Chang'an wants to make peace with the Jing family, but I don't know what Jing Mo Ao wants."
Jing Chou was so angry that he laughed: "Is he, Mr. Chang'an, reconciled with my Jing family?"
"I, Mr. Jing, and Mr. Chang'an must be sworn enemies!"
Pressing my head, Jing Chou Why didn't you say it was fixed when you beat him up?
Why didn’t you say it was fixed when you threw shit and urine on my head, Mr. Jing?
Tribe, you kill.
Disgusting, you are disgusted.
Now you want to make peace with me, Mr. Jing? !
Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "The reason why Lord Chang'an wants to reconcile with Jing is because of Lord Chang'an's good intentions, rather than because Lord Chang'an is afraid of Lord Jing."
"If Lord Jing refuses, Lord Chang'an With his kindness, the Lord of Chang'an will immediately send his troops south to attack Gusu and massacre him!"
Jing Chou stood up and shouted angrily: "On the battlefield, each of the two armies is their own master."
"He Yingcheng Jian'an dared to kill my Gusu to threaten my Jing family!"
Xiong Qi said quietly: "Xiang City has been defeated."
"The whole process of attacking the city, Chang'an Jun did not Persuaded to surrender."
In one sentence, Jingchou was said to be mute.
Ying Chengyu almost slaughtered Xiang Cheng, so why should he be afraid of slaughtering another Gusu?
Xiong Qi said warmly: "And why would the Jing family harm the Jing family soldiers to share the worries of the King of Chu?"
"The clan is the foundation of Chu, not the King of Chu!"
Jing Chou looked at Xiong Qi unexpectedly: "Master, you actually have such an idea?"
Xiong Qi smiled: "If you attach importance to the clan, the great Chu will prosper."
"If you neglect the clan, the great Chu will flourish. Chu defeated.”
"Over the past hundreds of years, countless Chu kings have used examples to tell me how important the clan is to Chu."
"How can I not be able to distinguish the importance?"
If someone else said this, Jingchou would not have any emotions.
But it was the son of the late king, Young Master Xiong Qi, who said this!
Jingchou immediately felt close to Xiong Qi, and even felt regretful in his heart.
How great it would be if Xiong Qi was the legitimate son of the late king!
After pondering for a long time, Jingchou said in a deep voice: "Jing family will not betray Dachu."
"But I will try my best to cooperate with Lord Chang'an."
" "Of course, I also have a request."
Xiong Qi immediately said: "Please speak frankly."
Jingchou said seriously: "It is too thin to say that we will repair it with just an empty talk."
"If Lord Chang'an really wants to make peace with my Jing family."
"Please Chang'an Marry me, the daughter of the Jing family!”
