Chapter 251 The enemy is a comrade, but a comrade is the enemy!
Chu Wanghan clearly showed his intention to reform. If Chu Wanghan can follow his own wishes and complete the reform, Chu State's strength will definitely increase dramatically.
Ying Chengyu, who has experienced the entire process of Ying Zheng coming to power, knows very well how much pressure Chu Wang Han will face next.
So Ying Chengyu really hopes to have a chat with King Han of Chu and make suggestions and suggestions for King Han of Chu.
Yes.
During the war, Ying Chengyu tried his best to attack Shouchun and intimidate King Han of Chu.
When the war is over, Ying Chengyu not only does not want to kill King Chu Han, he even hopes to help King Chu Han survive!
Because as long as King Chu can survive and continue to insist on reforms, the old nobles such as Qu, Jing, Zhao and others will definitely try their best to resist.
The strength of the nobles of Chu State is much stronger than that of the old nobles of Qin State.
Even if King Han of Chu could really implement the reform, it would take at least ten or twenty years.
During this period of time, the Chu State would be in chaos, giving Great Qin precious breathing time.
So now Ying Chengyu hopes that Chu Wanghan can survive and insist on reform more than Chu Wanghan himself!
Unfortunately, King Chu Han refused Ying Chengxuan’s request to meet.
Ying Chengyu could only bow his hand with regret: "Please tell the King of Chu."
"Regardless of one's origins and only focusing on talents is the way to strengthen a country."
"If this policy can be spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, the people of Chu will definitely support the King of Chu."
"However, how to spread this matter throughout the Chu Kingdom? I am afraid that the nobles will not help spread this order."< br>
“Who will be in charge of selecting meritorious persons? What are the selection criteria?”
“How to ensure that the rewards of meritorious persons can be distributed in full?”
“All of these are It’s something the King of Chu needs to think about.”
"If the King of Chu has doubts, please watch how I, the Qin Dynasty, behave."
Li Yuan was slightly startled.
Ying Chengxuan’s words did not quote classics, nor were they covered by clouds and fog. The main theme was sincerity.
What Ying Chengyu pointed out is indeed the problem that King Han of Chu will soon face.
So Li Yuan solemnly handed over his hands: "I will definitely report it to the king!"
Ying Chengyu continued to speak: "Four hours ago, a group of soldiers and horses stationed twenty miles north of Shouchun City and stopped marching."
"According to our army's scouts, this division is Xiang's private army. "
Li Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness.
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and saluted again: "The world is in chaos and bandits are rampant."
"Now Shouchun City is damaged, and the Shouchun defenders have suffered many battle losses."
"Therefore, our army will be stationed outside Shouchun City and guard the walls of Shouchun City for Chu State until the main force of Chu State returns."
The good impression Li Yuan had just had was instantly destroyed.
A large number of troops are stationed outside Shouchun City. Do you want to guard the defense of Shouchun City on behalf of my great Chu?
You clearly don’t want to take the knife away from my big Chu’s neck!
Li Yuan’s angry voice burst out from between his teeth: “Thank you very much.”
So what if Li Yuan is angry?
Situation is stronger than people.
We still have to thank you!
Ying Chengyu smiled and shook his head: "The friendship between Qin and Chu will last forever. The foreign ministers are just doing their job, why do they need to say thank you?"
Finally deeply Looking at Shouchun Palace, Ying Chengyu tugged on the reins and shouted loudly: "The rear army becomes the front army."
"Withdraw!"
More than 50,000 Qin troops all handed over their hands: "Wei!"
The Qin troops retreated, but almost every Qin army looked back from time to time, using greed and desire His eyes looked at Shouchun Palace.
Facing the eyes of these pairs of hungry wolves, looking at Ying Chengyu riding away in the distance, the King of Chu said proudly: "I have a younger brother like the Lord of Chang'an."
" How lucky the King of Qin is!”
King Han of Chu also had younger brothers, and like Ying Zheng, he had three younger brothers, and these three younger brothers were all sons of King Kaolie of Chu.
But neither Gongzi You, Gongzi Qi nor Gongzi Fucu are qualified to serve as generals.
And even if they have the ability to serve as generals, would King Han of Chu dare to let them lead the army?
Young Master Fu Chu has gained military power today. Tomorrow he will be able to lead troops to attack Shouchun City. The day after tomorrow he will dare to proclaim himself king!
How great it would be if King Han of Chu could have a younger brother with blood, abilities, and trust like Ying Chenglong!
After looking at Ying Chengyu with envy for a while, King Chu Han finally said: "The war is over, and all of you dear friends have been tired for a long time, so please disperse."
"Go back to the palace!"< br>
After saying that, King Chu boldly walked down the city wall.
Seeing Li Yuan walking back to Shouchun Palace with heavy steps, the King of Chu said in a warm voice: "Please order Yin to accompany you."
Li Yuan immediately handed over his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The uncle and nephew boarded Chu King Han's five-horse cart together. Chu King Han immediately stood up and handed over his hands: "Thank you, uncle, for bearing this bad reputation for me!"
Li Yuan quickly handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. "
"It is the duty of a minister to take care of the king and to be loyal to the king."
"It is the duty of a minister to share the king's worries!"
Li Yuan I can't find fault with my words, and I don't mean to express any resentment.
But when Chu King Han first mentioned the uncle-nephew relationship, Li Yuan still answered like this, which seemed particularly awkward.
Li Yuan, my heart is chilling!
Li Yuan's ability is also a top choice, but compared to Lu Buwei, Wu Qi, and Huang Xie, he is still far behind.
Li Yuan's character also has many problems such as cowardice, timidity, and lust.
When King Han of Chu ascended the throne alone and without help, Li Yuan had to step forward as his uncle to assist King Han of Chu.
But today King Han of Chu chose to let Li Yuan take the blame.
How can Li Yuan not be disappointed!
Think again about the consequences you may face.
How can Li Yuan not be frightened! King Han of Chu also felt Li Yuan's alienation, and immediately promised in a deep voice: "I also know that the nobles will definitely launch criticism because of this, so I asked my uncle to attract the criticism on my behalf, and I will resolve them one by one for my uncle."
< br>
"This will give you and me more room for maneuver."
"Uncle, please be at ease."
"The matter of seeking peace is my personal wish, and my uncle will not be harmed by it. It’s damaged!”
What else can Li Yuan do?
His foundation, his interests, his ambitions and even the lives of his entire family rested on King Han of Chu.
So of course Li Yuan can only choose to forgive him!
Li Yuan squeezed out a smile: "Your Majesty, I deeply believe in you!"
Unwilling to continue this heart-wrenching topic, Li Yuan changed the topic: "On the occasion of handing over the king's order, Lord Chang'an wants to invite The king said. "
Chu Wang Han snorted: "Could it be that Lord Chang'an intended to make me make the same mistake as King Huai!"
Why did Qu Yuan's reform fail in the past?
It was because after the defeat at the Battle of Chuisha, King Qin Zhaoxiang invited King Chu Huai to form an alliance at Wuguan. As a result, King Qin Zhaoxiang directly detained King Chu Huai!
It was not until three years later that King Huai of Chu died, and his body was returned to the State of Chu.
Qin is very experienced in the aspect of no lower limit.
That’s why Chu Wang Han and Li Yuancai refused Ying Chengxuan’s invitation to meet without hesitation.
Li Yuan nodded and said: "I am also worried about this, so I bluntly rejected the invitation of Lord Chang'an."
"Chang'an Jun asked me to tell the king: Regardless of one's family background, only talent is the best way to strengthen a country..."
Listening to Li Yuan's story, King Chu Han's eyes widened unconsciously.
Chu Wang Han’s plan has long been in his heart, so Chu Wang Han has already thought of these difficulties.
But Ying Chengyu only heard Chu Wang Han’s cry outside the palace. That's all, but he has already guessed Chu Wanghan's overall plan and thought of the problems Chu Wanghan is about to face.
How could King Chu Han not be frightened!
"How does the Qin Kingdom behave?" King Han of Chu fell into thinking: "Foreigners? Legal officials? Military power?"
After thinking for a while, King Han of Chu suddenly asked: "Is this really what Lord Chang'an said? "
Li Yuan nodded and said: "I haven't deleted a word or changed a word."
Chu Wanghan once again praised: "How lucky the king of Qin is!"
“Why don’t we, the great Chu, have such outstanding people as Lord Chang’an!”
Being able to see the problem in a short period of time, Chu Wanghan thought that Ying Chengyu must have some ideas to solve it, but he could not tell Chu Wanghan due to his identity.
King Han of Chu is so greedy for such a loyal and courteous brother!
Li Yuan spoke again: "Four hours ago, Xiang's private soldiers arrived twenty miles north of the city."
"But they stopped moving forward, with no intention of reinforcement."
The king of Chu said with a cold look on his face: "All the big families are traitors to the country!"
After pondering for a long time, King Chu Han said in a deep voice: "When the army comes back for reinforcements, I will trouble my uncle to go deep into the army and make the order of meritocracy known to the public."
"At the same time, send the guards into the army and select all the soldiers for this battle. The brave men join the main army!"
Li Yuan was shocked: "If this is the case, all the nobles will attack in groups!"
Chu Wang Han looked a little crazy: "If you are a few people, Holding military power, who dares to bark in front of everyone? "
"Law officials, I can only choose wise people."
"Foreign guests, I can open the door for you and invite them sincerely."
"Only military power is difficult to grasp."
"I will not let go of such a good opportunity!"
>
This battle gave Chu King Han a great psychological impact.
If all the troops of the Chu State were in the hands of Chu King Han, Chu King Han would even be confident of taking all the territory west of Xinzheng, south of the Yellow River, and east of Yangjin!
If the strength of the main army doubled again, King Han of Chu would not have been blatantly deceived by Jingchou, Zhaocen and others, let alone the Qin army to attack Shouchun City!
At this moment, King Chu Han's desire for military power reached its peak.
For this reason, King Chu Han would rather take a risk!
......
King Han of Chu hurriedly returned to the palace and discussed with Li Yuan and his cronies how to seize control of the army.
Jingchou and Zhaocen went their separate ways and left the palace wall, but they reunited at Zhaocen's mansion.
“Regardless of one’s origins, meritocracy is the best choice?” Zhaocen slammed the wine master on the table: “If meritocracy is the best thing, what contributions have we made and the blood we have shed for the great Chu How to calculate it?"
"How can those people ascend to high positions!"
Jing Chou also said bitterly: "The king is shaking the foundation of our country."
"If the king insists on going his own way, it will be difficult for the great Chu to prosper!"
Zhaocen asked in a deep voice: "The king has done this perverse and rebellious move. Does Jing Mo Ao have a solution?"
Jingchou's eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother Zhao said this, so he probably already has an idea?"< br>
Zhaocen said sincerely: "Brother Jing was talking to Brother Zhao and Brother Qu before, if we can choose the support of a young master who can allow you and me to stand up to seek justice, he will be the king."
"Zhao thought for a long time and thought that what Brother Jing said was true!"
Jingchou sat up straight: "Which young master does Brother Zhao want to support?"
Zhaocen stood up, faced the side hall and bowed his hands: "I wonder if it's convenient for you, Master?" Ao."
Jingchou immediately stood up and returned the greeting: "Greetings to the young master!"
"Young master, what are you doing..."
Zhao Chou said with a smile: "Brother Qu also intends to support the young master! , I wonder what Brother Jing thinks?”
Jingchou's eyes widened in shock.
I thought that I and you were crazy for saying such outrageous things.
It turns out that things are going well for you two, and you have even found your next home!
Xiong Fuchu sat down at the main seat, smiled and said: "Jing Mo Ao, there is no need to be anxious."
"These matters are important matters, and you should think about them carefully."< br>
Jingchou had originally wanted to change the king of Chu, but this time the thoughts expressed by the king of Chu had an irreconcilable conflict with the interests of the nobility. In addition, Xiong negative Chu was in front of him, so why should Jingchou hesitate?
Jing Chou suddenly handed over his hands: "The Jing family is willing to lend a helping hand to the young master!"
The young master stood up immediately, supported Jing Chou with both hands, and laughed heartily: "I, the young master, can win Jing Mo!" Ao’s help is like a fish in water!”
