Yue country, Langya.
King Si of Yue was lying on the bed in shock. The palace people around her were walking as fast as they could, serving tea and water to the king.
As the key variable in the "Battle of Luguan" and the first person responsible for Chu's defeat... Logically speaking, Si Jing should have joined forces with the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces to beat the fallen dog together after winning the backstab. .
But the Yue King Si Jing acted differently from ordinary people - he led the 20,000 Yue soldiers who had made great achievements and retreated all the way back to [Langya].
At this moment, Chu State had too much to worry about - it would be good if it could seize the opportunity and use 20,000 elite troops to regain the lost territory of Yue State and realize ZTE.
Si Jing surprisingly did not lead troops to attack the city... After he returned to [Langya], he locked himself in the palace and never summoned his loyal generals again.
"Your Majesty, please drink this bowl of soup."
The imperial doctor stepped forward and diligently handed Si Jing a bowl of dark, mushy soup made from unknown herbs.
Si Jing covered her chest, sat up from the bed, pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp.
Even with Si Jing's amazing perseverance, he couldn't help but frown.
The taste of this medicinal soup is really hard to describe...
After drinking the medicine, Si Jing lay back down again, holding her chest and panting for a while, coughing violently several times.
Look at the handkerchief covering his mouth again - it's obviously stained with blood.
The surrounding palace officials and doctors looked at each other with worries on their faces.
Si Jing, on the other hand, smiled in relief and waved his hand, signaling for everyone to retreat.
"Your Majesty, you should stay in bed more often..." The imperial doctor gave a few instructions as usual, then bowed and walked backwards out of the bedroom that smelled strongly of herbal medicine.
Si Jing did not follow the doctor's instructions, but walked out of the bed wrapped in a fur cloak, sat behind a long desk, and opened a stack of letters on the desk... She pondered for a while from time to time, and coughed twice from time to time... …
His illness has been going on for a long time.
About five or six years ago - at that time, Xiong Wuliang was still a little-known young man. He had just joined the army to invade the territory of Yue as a small right-wing leader...
At that time, Yao Wang Si Jing had signs of physical failure.
Later, by a series of coincidences, Si Jing reached a tacit understanding with Xiong Wuliang, a former rival, and worked together to fight against the powerful Qi State at that time.
Step by step, we have come to today - at Si's shocking age of forty or fifty, it stands to reason that it is not impossible for him to have another heir. Unfortunately, his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and now he is running out of gas.
However, remembering that Quyang County still had the last of his bloodline... An imperceptible tenderness flashed across Si Jing's eyes.
"Xiong Liang, you finally can't sit still anymore." Si Jing opened the last memorial letter with a satisfied smile on his face.
Xiong Wuliang came out of the mountain, thus achieving Si Jing's goal.
Previously, Si Jing learned that the cheap son-in-law had been lying flat in the fiefdom... which really made the former very worried.
Just at this time, Qin General Sima Cuo sent a secret agent... and Si Jing hit it off immediately!
Although Si Jing has not had much contact with Xiong Wuliang, based on information obtained through various channels, it can be considered that the two have known each other for a long time...
This talented and resourceful King of Yue knew clearly that with Xiong Wuliang's character, he would never sit back and watch the Chu Kingdom fall... Even if he is lying down now, as long as he is forced to a certain extent, he will definitely come out!
Now, indeed!
"As long as he appears, my goal will be achieved..." Si Jing smiled——
After Xiong Wuliang came out of the mountain, no matter whether he won or not, Si Jing would be satisfied——
If Xiong Wuliang turns the tide and the Chu people win... First of all, Xiong Wuliang's strategy of hiding his weakness and lying flat will definitely come to nothing. The lazy bastard can only work hard and move towards the pinnacle of power in Chu State step by step.
As for "only be a powerful minister and not usurp the throne"?
In Si Jing's eyes, it was just a joke!
When a force develops to a certain extent, the influence of the leader's personal will on the group will become smaller and smaller - as long as Xiong Wuliang's power in Chu State becomes stronger and stronger, he will not be able to become the King of Chu alone. It’s decided.
Even if he is firm in his stance and never wants to be a rebellious minister... Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua and the like under him can't help him!
When it comes to political insight - Si Jing is much better than Xiong Wuliang.
He had already seen it clearly - as long as Xiong Wuliang won this battle, he would be the future King of Chu sooner or later!
The specific time of the process of 'turning the tide - becoming famous - becoming a powerful minister - ascending to the throne' may not be certain, but there is no way there can be any mistakes in the general direction.
What if you say that Xiong Wuliang can't beat Mi Heng?
Si Jing scoffed even more!
My cheap son-in-law may have an asshole personality, but his abilities are definitely not bad!
…
And what if Xiong Wuliang really lost this battle?
Si Jing also has an excellent solution!
Anyway, I don't have much time left, and I have no heir... I can let Xiong Wuliang take over the Yue Kingdom, give him the throne, and then force him to swear a poisonous oath, so that the heir born to Xiong Wuliang and Siyi will become the crown prince... …
There is no resistance within the Yue Kingdom - just a corner of Langya has long been kept submissive by Si Jing.
The 20,000 Vietnamese troops under his command obeyed orders.
The transfer of power in the Yue Kingdom sounds complicated, but in fact it is very simple to handle!
In this way... after the old and frail Si Jing dies, the country of Yue can still survive. After Xiong Wuliang, the future king of Yue will still have the blood of the Yue royal family - Si Jing even believes that with Xiong Wuliang, Wu Liang's talent can even allow Yue to dominate the world again!
…
All in all, Yue's key betrayal seemed coincidental, but in fact it was Si Jing's best choice after careful consideration.
The Chu State was defeated and was about to be destroyed - Xiong Wuliang was bound to come out.
And no matter whether he wins or loses, it is satisfying for Si Jing!
Turning the tide has won - Xiong Wuliang will become king sooner or later, his only daughter will be the princess, and the children he will give birth to in the future will at least be top nobles and feudal princes.
After trying to turn the tide and losing, the desperate Xiong Wuliang came to take over the Yue Kingdom. Siyi must be the queen, and his future grandson will become the king of Yue.
Make sure you make money without losing money, right?
Doing nothing was the most unacceptable thing for Si Jing - Xiong Wuliang had been lying flat in the fiefdom, and his only daughter was a maid with no name and no status... I heard that a princess of the Qin Kingdom was going to get married. , the Yue State was too weak compared to the Qin State, and it was almost impossible for Si Yi’s descendants to ascend the throne...
I heard that the prince of Chu State had always been suspicious of Xiong Wuliang.
Just imagine that after a few decades, when Xiong Wuliang also dies of old age, the Quyanghou lineage may even be liquidated by the King of Chu.
It's okay if you win the fight then - if you lose, your future grandchildren will most likely become civilians or even slaves!
Absolutely unacceptable!
…
Now, everything is as expected.
"Next, it depends on what you, the Marquis of Quyang, can do." Si Jing, who was seriously ill, looked to the west in the direction of Yingdu and said to himself.
It seemed that hundreds of thousands of troops could be seen dimly fighting to the death outside Yingdu City.
Xiong Wuliang came out of the mountain - Si Jing's plan had been successful.
As for the civilians of Chu State who died during this period... they were not within Si Jing's consideration at all.
At the beginning, the Chu people invaded Yue aggressively and almost destroyed the country of Yue - those Chu people were the enemies of the Yue people.
As a talented and strategic lord, Si Jing has many rare qualities, but the word 'mercy' is obviously not included among them!
…
(Yimi: The small hole has been filled, the big hole has been dug... Do you all understand this chapter? Next comes the thrilling battle of Yingdu! Can Xiong Wuliang turn the tide?)
