Chapter 609: If you don’t give birth to food, you will never be able to repay it in a lifetime! King Chu, I am here to take you home!
Ying Chengyu’s words were like a heavy hammer hitting the almost undetectable softness in King Chu Qi’s heart!
In the past, King Kaolie of Chu went to Da Qin to serve as a hostage, but while he was serving as a hostage, he left his four sons and secretly escaped from Da Qin and returned to Chu to succeed to the throne.
King Kaolie of Chu's decisiveness helped him seize the throne of Chu King in one fell swoop, but it also caused the relationship between Qin and Chu to deteriorate sharply.
In order to avoid war, King Chu Kaolie ceded the Xiazhou area of Chu to Qin when he ascended the throne. King Qin Zhaoxiang also returned King Chu Kaolie's four sons as a sign of goodwill.
However, King Chu Kaolie magnanimously only took back his three sons, and allowed the second son Xiong Qi, who had just turned three years old, to inherit the status of King Chu Kaolie's hostage and continue to stay in Qin to witness the good things between Qin and Chu.
This move brought back six years of peace between Qin and Chu.
With this move, Xiong Qi watched helplessly as his father and mother ruthlessly left him alone in Da Qin!
How big a blow is this for a three-year-old child?
When Xiong Qi cried until his throat was swollen and he had difficulty breathing, Empress Dowager Huayang, who was still the Crown Princess at the time, took Xiong Qi back to the East Palace to raise him.
Empress Dowager Huayang gently taught Xiong Qi, who had never lived in the Chu country for a day, to learn the Chu language and understand the culture of the Chu country. She also asked famous teachers to carefully teach Xiong Qi to learn literature and martial arts.
In the sixth year of King Chu Kaolie, King Chu Kaolie suddenly tore up the alliance with Qin and devoted himself to the Battle of Handan to "steal the talisman to save Zhao". He formed an alliance with Zhao and Wei and defeated the Qin army.
This move contributed to the only two commendable results in King Chu Kaolie's long life.
With this move, the nine-year-old Xiong Qi faced a life-or-death crisis of 'cutting off the protons of those who betray the alliance first'!
It was the Empress Dowager Huayang who spent all day running and lobbying, saving Xiong Qi's life in a critical situation.
If the Empress Dowager Huayang hadn't tried her best to protect her, Xiong Qi would have died long ago!
Not to mention that the Queen Mother Huayang won Xiong Qi the title of Lord Changping, and sent Xiong Qi to enter the Qin Dynasty Hall to show his talents.
The Queen Mother of Huayang is not Xiong Qi's biological mother, she is just a distant relative who has not yet emerged from the fifth server.
But how does the Queen Mother Huayang treat Xiong Qi differently from a biological mother treating her own child?
No!
Many biological mothers cannot even reach the level of Queen Mother Huayang!
If you are born but not nourished, you can repay it by cutting off your fingers. If you are born and nourished, you can be punished by decapitating your head. If you are not born but nourished, it will be difficult to repay it in a hundred lifetimes!
And how did Xiong Qi repay the Queen Mother Huayang?
"I am a widower, I am a widower..."
The beautiful face of the Queen Mother Huayang in the past and the vicissitudes of life today appeared in my mind. The fingers of the King of Chu in his sleeves were trembling, and his eyes were filled with tears. Feeling deep guilt and self-blame.
I cannot support the Queen Mother Huayang and support her until her death.
King Qi of Chu could comfort himself by saying that those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters.
Leading a group of relatives of the Chu family to return to Chu State in a desperate attempt, the relatives of the Chu family of Great Qin suffered heavy losses one after another, and completely withdrew from the first echelon of power in Great Qin.
King Qi of Chu could comfort himself by saying that those who achieve great things should not hesitate to sacrifice.
But King Qi of Chu knew very well that the Queen Mother Huayang didn't actually care about the so-called power, and she was easily satisfied.
As long as King Qi of Chu sends back a letter home and a basket of oranges, he can make the Queen Mother Huayang happy for a long time.
But to this day, King Qi of Chu has not even sent back a basket of oranges to the Queen Mother Huayang!
Is this a sacrifice required for those who achieve great things?
Is this a small detail that those who want to achieve great things should be informal about?
Chu Wangqi could deceive others, but he could not deceive himself!
He has just been completely blinded by power, and even his humanity!
“I am a man!”
King Chu’s hands clenched in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his eyes were already red.
Zhaocen suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty!"
"Don't fall into Qin Changanjun's scheme!"
"Your Majesty is the king of our great Chu, and all the officers and soldiers in the army are looking at your Majesty."
"Only when your Majesty's will to fight is firm, can the morale of our army's officers and soldiers be high!"
>Hearing Zhaocen's reminder, King Chu Qi subconsciously looked around and saw many soldiers around him lowering their heads or looking at him with strange eyes.
King Qi of Chu suddenly realized that Ying Chengyu’s words were not only attacking his heart, but also attacking the hearts of all the Chu soldiers!
Many people know the life experience of King Qi of Chu, and also know the significance of Queen Mother Huayang to King Qi of Chu.
Although Chu State, like Qin State, did not care about filial piety.
But Chu State attaches great importance to ‘righteousness’!
If King Qi of Chu treats the Queen Mother Huayang like her own child so unjustly, what will King Qi of Chu's attitude towards other people be like?
Who would be willing to fight to the death for a ruthless king who has no loyalty?
The sense of crisis instantly suppressed the guilt.
After a few breaths, King Chu Qi turned to look at Ying Chengyu and said in a deep voice: "Send some oranges?"
"Is it just for some oranges that the Queen Mother Huayang is educating me?"
"I should do my best to strengthen my great Chu and lead my great Chu to become the overlord, so that I can live up to the Queen Mother's promise!"
Hearing this, the Chu army was stunned, and then his heart became hot.
Yes.
Sending oranges is just a casual thing.
Leading Dachu to become the overlord is a feat that truly makes the elders happy!
And when King Qi of Chu accomplished this feat, they, the people of Chu, could also achieve their wishes together!
How wonderful!
Ying Chengyu looked at Xiong Qi with a puzzled look: "Of course, the Queen Mother does like to eat oranges."
"Last year, I went to Chu and found a lush orange grove. I used the flesh to make honey and orange jam, and the peel to make orange peel tea. I gave it to the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother got it. I'm so happy!"
"It was quite difficult for me to enter Chu once."
"But the King of Chu is in Chu State now, so it should be simple to send back some oranges."< br>
“Why doesn’t the King of Chu send the oranges to Huayang Palace personally, instead of asking me to go to Chu to get the oranges myself?”
The ministers and generals of Chu State:! ! !
Are you ‘entering Chu’?
You clearly kicked open the gate of my country, Da Chu, and then took away the sacred land of my country of Chu - and also took away the oranges of my country of Chu!
If you want oranges, we will give them to you.
You can give as much as you want!
No matter how many times you go into Chu to get oranges, our country, Chu, will be destroyed! threaten!
In the eyes of the ministers, Ying Chengyu’s words were definitely a naked threat!
Ying Chengxuan continued: "My father, my brother, and I have all worked hard to lead our Great Qin to become the overlord."
"The Queen Mother's expectations can only be fulfilled by us. Yes.”
"Why does King Chu put so much pressure on himself?"
"Why don't you go back to Da Qin with me!"
"With the help of me and the Queen Mother, King Chu can still help us, Da Qin" "One of the three princes."
"After doing official duties every day, I go to accompany the Queen Mother of Huayang. If I am bored, I will go fishing with the King of Chu."
"The Weishui River is quiet. I don’t think there will be any dragons causing trouble.”
"Isn't it beautiful?"
The reason King Chu Wang Qi just gave himself was undermined.
The adopted sons and grandsons led the Qin Dynasty to great progress. Isn't that enough to meet the expectations of the Queen Mother Huayang?
You, the adopted son, must run to an enemy country to develop and grow in order to live up to the teachings of the Queen Mother Huayang!
Chu Wang Qi’s face darkened.
What is the tranquility of the Weishui River?
Ying Chengxiao was clearly mocking him for being dragged into the water by a dragon while fishing!
The King of Chu took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Qin is strong now, but our great Chu is united!"
"Qin Chang'an Lord, you deceive me and the great Chu is at a disadvantage in war. Huh!”
No matter what the soldiers of the Chu army thought in their hearts, they all agreed with King Qi of Chu at this moment and roared angrily:
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Facing the murderous defenders of Helv City, Ying Chengyu looked at King Qi of Chu from a distance with sincere eyes: "I am not here for war."
“Only on behalf of the Queen Mother, she persuaded the King of Chu to take the King of Chu home!”
All officers and soldiers of the Chu army: ⊙(◇)?
Looking at Ying Chengyu, and then at King Qi of Chu, a thought inevitably came to the minds of many soldiers of the Chu army.
King Qi of Chu seemed to be a young man who had a falling out with his family and ran away from home to start his own business and pursue his dreams.
And Ying Chengyu was the talented person in the family sent by Chu Wangqi's parents to take Chu Wangqi home.
King of Chu Qisheng, continue to be his King of Chu.
The king of Chu was defeated and returned to be his prime minister of Qin.
Then what are these people who sacrificed their lives to protect Helu City and King Qi of Chu?
Clown! ! !
Aware of the confusion in the hearts of the soldiers, King Qi of Chu shouted without hesitation: "Don't say such ridiculous words again!"
"I am a great Chu man. The king of Chu will die as the first king of Chu!”
“But he will never die for the three princes of Qin!” Determined? ”
"Wouldn't it be better to follow me back to the Qin Dynasty and continue to be the three princes of the Qin Dynasty?"
King Qi of Chu said decisively: "I will never set foot on the soil of Qin for the rest of my life!"
>After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few breaths, he sighed helplessly: "What a tragedy! What a pity!"
"The King of Chu is unkind, but I cannot be unjust."
"My thoughts are with the Queen Mother. For the sake of face, I will give King Chu another choice.”
"War or peace?"
For the third time, Ying Chengyu stood outside the capital of Chu State and asked a multiple-choice question about war and peace.
Zhaocen and other courtiers' hearts jumped.
This damn familiar feeling!
Ying Chengxuan looked at King Qi of Chu with sharp eyes: "The King of Chu immediately ordered the Chu army to withdraw to the south of the Huaihe River, assist our Great Qin in completing the relocation work of all the families of the martyrs who surrendered to Qin, and donated road funds."< br>
"On behalf of Da Qin, I will renew the alliance with the Chu State, so that the two countries can return to peace, so that all the people can recuperate and recuperate."
"Or let me, the general, lead the Qin-Qi coalition forces to lay waste to Helu City."
"Take you home!"
In response to Ying Chengxuan's proposal, Chu Wang Qi, Zhao Cen and other court officials were very excited.
Although Helu City has hope of blocking the Qin-Qi coalition led by Ying Chengyu, what is the cost?
Chu State’s last fortune was wiped out!
Unless the front line can achieve a complete victory and seize a large amount of land and population, Chu will not be able to fight again in the next twenty years.
However, the peace covenant is not something they can sign if they want to.
Xiang Yan, he refuses to retreat!
King Qi of Chu could only shout in a deep voice: "Are the great Chu soldiers afraid of fighting to the death?!"
On the top of the city, 50,000 Chu troops shouted in unison:
"Fight!"
Listening to this unsatisfied cry, Ying Chengyu raised a slight smile.
Is he lobbying King Qi of Chu?
No!
The person Ying Chengyu wanted to lobby was not King Qi of Chu, but the officers and soldiers of the Chu army in Helu City.
Judging from the performance of the Chu army soldiers, Ying Chengyu has succeeded.
“Since the King of Chu is determined to fight to the death, I have no other words to say.”
Ying Chengyu faced Helu City and cupped his hands, then reined in his horse and turned around, shouting in a deep voice:< br>
“Send orders to all ministries!”
"Siege the city!"
