Above the battlefield, a thick smell of blood floated.
Corpses piled up like mountains--the corpses of the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces, and the corpses of the Chu people.
The red and yellow Chu army flags fluttered in the wind, and the long flag ribbons rolled up in a wonderful ancient dance.
After the Chu army's victory, the soldiers became confused for a while.
I don't know who took the lead, but the melodious soul-calling sound of 'National Sorrow' resounded throughout the battlefield.
"The soul has returned to protect my rivers and mountains..."
"The soul has returned and will bless my countryside..."
This soul-calling sound is not only dedicated to the soldiers of the Chu army who died here, but also to the countless ghosts who sacrificed their lives to defend Chu in the Battle of Luguan.
It also evokes the souls of countless Chu civilians who died under the swords of the brutal coalition forces on the Huainan Plain.
This battle lasted for too long, and the Chu people paid a heavy price.
The blood shed for this is incalculable.
Whether they were noble princes or nobles, or poor slaves... countless Chu people fell in this protracted war to protect their homes and country.
In addition, this national mourning is also the memory and memory of the Chu people for their late kings who died bravely.
No matter how stupid King Mi Huai of Chu was on weekdays, or how he ruined Chu's hegemony in the battle of Lu Pass... what he did before his death was enough to be remembered by the whole country forever.
This King of Chu is worthy of his ancestors! Worthy of Chu State!
I would rather die than humble myself and compromise... This strength alone is at least much stronger than some 'kings'!
…
The flames in Yingdu have not yet completely burned out - this fire deliberately caused by kerosene is too terrifying, and may not stop until all combustibles are completely burned out.
All the pavilions, palaces and temples in Yingdu City will probably be burned to ashes.
If the King of Chu hadn't taken away all the blame before he died, even if Xiong Wuliang had the power of victory at this moment, he might have been forced to bear the blame of the government and the opposition!
From Yingdu to Dahe, the bodies of coalition soldiers were scattered everywhere.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses stretch endlessly. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
The soldiers of Chu sang a misty evocation of national mourning and separated the corpses everywhere - the corpses of the Chu people were easily restrained, while the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin, Wei and Korean alliance were all burned to the ground.
As for packing up the trophies scattered all over the mountains and plains, there is no need to say more.
Xiong Wuliang remained silent, looking down at King Chu's body and saying nothing for a long time.
It seemed that he was lost in thought.
This great king has won all the respect of Xiong Wuliang, a time traveler!
Think about the last few words left by King Chu before he died——
'Revitalize Chu State'!
'Let Chu dominate the world! '
Xiong Wuliang took a deep breath.
It is impossible to lie flat anymore, and it is impossible to lie flat again in this life.
The strong will be beaten, and the weak will be beaten.
If you really want to achieve permanent ease and freedom, there is only one way!
That is - clear the world!
…
In a huge military tent, Xiong Wuliang sat in the main seat wearing a helmet, surrounded by generals.
The ministers of the Chu State, who had just witnessed a legendary battle, were also present at this moment.
There was Pingnan Sword on the long table in front of him. Xiong Wuliang's eyes slowly swept across it, and all the officials lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other. The old fox Zhaoju stood at the front, looking at his nose and heart, looking obedient.
"The battle in Yingdu has ended, but this battle is not completely over yet." Xiong Wuliang said slowly——
"There is still a large area of land that has not been recovered."
"I intend to regain the lost territory in the whole territory. Now I want to unite the power of the whole country. Who supports it? Who opposes it?"
The room was filled with silence.
Shao Hu, a hairy-chested man, stood beside Xiong Wuliang, pressing the hilt of his sword without saying a word.
The threat was not concealed at all.
The ministers lowered their heads and exchanged vague glances with each other.
The allied forces of Qin, Wei and South Korea are all dead now. How can there be any room for resistance?
If you want to regain the lost ground, all you need is a partial army to sneak all the way over.
Is it still necessary to 'unify the power of the whole country'?
It is said that once this power is integrated into the hands of Qu Yanghou, it will be Xiong Wuliang who has the final say as to when to hand it back.
Don't look at what Qu Yanghou said in front of him, but it was high-sounding. He said it was to regain lost ground... but in fact it was clearly a blatant seizure of power!
It is to take advantage of the power of victory to blatantly exercise regency and dictatorship!
Blanch! You treacherous ministers and traitors!
The atmosphere was eerie and quiet.
The officials still know about Xiong Wuliang——
This is a clear-cut reformist! The method of "strengthening the cadres and weakening the branches" used in the four county fiefdoms frightened the nobles of the whole country into changing their expressions.
If he is really allowed to monopolize power, who among the vested interests present will be able to get a good result?
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence!
"Marquis Quyang has your destiny, and we will definitely obey him! We are willing to die for you!" Someone expressed his stance.
…
Xiong Wuliang was stunned.
All the officials present were stunned...
The person who spoke was surprisingly the old commander Yin Zhaoju who had always been at odds with Xiong Wuliang!
Hold the grass?
What's going on? The sun is coming out in the west!
Aren’t these two people always the most difficult to deal with? The ministers were waiting for Lao Lingyin to take the lead in expressing his opposition, and then everyone would second the proposal...
The old fox looked calm, as if he was not aware of the various strange looks, and looked calm as if he had listened to Qu Yanghou's words.
Xiong Wuliang frowned.
This change was indeed beyond his expectation.
According to what he had thought beforehand - Zhaoju must have been the first to rush out to object, and then he naturally used the Pingnan Sword and chopped off the old bastard's head. Firstly, it is to give oneself a bad breath, and secondly, it is to scare the monkeys and pave the way for subsequent reforms.
The result was unexpected!
Xiong Wuliang wanted to kill this old guy with a sword, but he couldn't do it now!
Just at this moment, another voice came——
"Wait! I don't agree!"
"The enemy has no strength to fight anymore, so why should we unite the strength of the whole country?"
"Mi Liang! You clearly want to take this opportunity to seize power!"
The officials were in an uproar.
Who is so bold?
Looking at the person who spoke again, it was Prince Mi Heng!
Shocking!
Everyone had already noticed the rift between Mi Heng and Qu Yanghou during the previous battle.
But there were still strong enemies on the side at that time, and internal contradictions were not the main contradiction.
Now, with the collapse of Sima Cuo's 300,000 troops, the political contradictions within the Chu State have become highlighted in an instant, becoming the primary issue at the moment!
The officials were nervous and looking forward to it!
Is a big scene of Mars hitting the Earth really going to happen?
Xiong Wuliang had military power and deep prestige, and he had just led his army to a great victory to save the country, and he was in great limelight.
As the prince of the late king, Mi Heng had a distinguished status and was the undisputed first heir to the throne. He had a reputation of righteousness.
The fight between the two will definitely be exciting!
Especially since the bones of the late king were still cold and the throne was vacant... this sudden yet reasonable dispute cast an unspeakable color...
Hearing Mi Heng's angry scolding, he lifted up the indescribable veil without hesitation: "Mi Liang, what are your intentions?"
"Are you going to usurp the throne?"
