The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Wang Jian with a hint of sympathy in their hearts. Unexpectedly, I thought that since the banished immortal was away, everyone could relax a bit, but a little Zhou Qingchen was able to beat Wang Jian and almost made him angry to death.
Everyone has a vague feeling in their hearts that maybe the Wang family is really in decline.
Of course, if Wang Jian could make great contributions in quelling the chaos, that would be a different story. Otherwise, without Huaiguzi taking action himself, the Wang family would have perished on its own.
Wang Jian is a mature man, how can he not know the thoughts of the courtiers?
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: Do you think I am defeated now? Haha, a bunch of short-sighted people.
Wang Jian was very active in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm. He seemed to be afraid of Zhou Qingchen and did not dare to argue with him anymore.
And Ying Zheng said calmly: "King Kuaiji, he defended Gushan. This is a magnificent move. How can I chill the heart of the warrior? Therefore, I order the suggestion that King Kuaiji is dead to be dropped."
The ministers nodded in agreement, and then the meeting ended.
When everyone walked outside the political hall, they suddenly saw a young eunuch walking over from a distance.
The little eunuch walked in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do.
Sure enough, the young eunuch saluted Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, an envoy from Chu Di is here."
Ying Zheng said: "Call me quickly."
Soon, a pawn covered in blood came to the front of the civil and military officials.
Everyone saw that the soldier's clothes were ragged and dirty. There was coagulated blood everywhere on his body, and there were several wounds on his face and hands. He was extremely weak. He walked up to Ying Zheng and wanted to salute, but he couldn't stand firmly and simply fell to the ground.
Everyone's heart sank, it was obvious that they had lost the battle.
Ying Zheng, who had always been calm and composed, started to tremble a little at this time and asked, "Gao'er, are you still here?"
The pawn was a little confused, as if he didn't know who this Gao'er was.
Ying Zheng composed himself and asked, "Is King Kuaiji still alive?"
The pawn said: "Of course King Kuaiji is still alive. The banished immortal has already saved King Kuaiji."
As soon as this was said, everyone smiled.
Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay. Huaiguzi is truly a national scholar."
The soldier then said: "In this battle, King Kuaiji knew everything was going on. As soon as he entered the Chu land, he noticed something was wrong based on clues, so he led all the soldiers to station at Yuewang Mountain. During this period, the soldiers had many complaints, but King Kuaiji refused to do so. Move, with the dignity of a prince, cut through thorns, lie down on withered grass, drink bitter water, calmly and calmly."
"Two days later, Xiang Liang indeed led a large army to attack. The trebuchets kept working day and night, and the huge rocks were like urns, bombarding the top of the mountain. Countless people died in our army, and everyone changed their colors tragically. Only the king of Kuaiji looked as usual and comforted the soldiers with gentle words."
"Master Wang Shen Lun erected a huge tree on the top of the mountain and wrote the word "Exile to the Immortal". He told the whole army to take the Exile to the Immortal as their teacher and follow the way of the Exile: not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, be loyal and brave, and work hard to kill the enemy."
"Therefore, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and they fought to the death without retreating. For more than twenty days, no one surrendered. Before leaving, the king of Kuaiji ordered a villain to report to His Majesty. The king said: The child has never brought shame to the father, nor has he disgraced the immortal."
Ying Zheng was filled with emotion when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and praised: "I never thought that the King of Kuaiji would be so loyal and brave."
While feeling emotional, Ying Zheng was also a little puzzled: Taking an immortal as his teacher and pursuing the path of an immortal? Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, and fight hard to kill the enemy? Can Huai Guzi do it on his own?
The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were also a little excited, and they all said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Huaiguzi and Li Xin rescued the King of Kuaiji with only three thousand people. This Li Xin is indeed a fierce general."
Ying Zheng asked the soldier again: "Has Xiang Liang been captured?"
The soldier said: "After the siege of Yuewang Mountain was resolved, King Kuaiji was worried about His Majesty and immediately ordered the villain to come and report the news. When the villain left, Xiang Liang only had 300 defeated troops. General Li Xin led 3,000 people in hot pursuit. Maybe Xiang Liang has been killed now."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Jian was a little confused when he heard this: "What? Xiang Liang was killed? Then how can I send troops? How can I, the Wang family, stand up?"
He was impatient and couldn't help but say: "Maybe some people are so happy about their success that they lie about military information."
The soldier became furious and shouted: "What did you say?"
Wang Jian was unhappy. The other party was just a pawn. How dare he talk to him like this? But looking at this soldier who was covered in blood and in high spirits, he must have been fighting for more than 20 days and running for more than ten days, and his spirit was a little abnormal, so Wang Jian didn't argue with him.
Ying Zheng next to him said calmly: "Wang Jian, what do you mean by lying to report military intelligence?"
Wang Jian cleared his throat and whispered: "Li Xin is indeed a fierce general. But Chu Di is no better than the Huns. He was able to pacify the Huns within a few months because of the conflict between Sha Tilie and Mao Dun. . In other words, to pacify the Xiongnu, wisdom was the primary merit, and force was the secondary merit. Even if it were not Li Xin, someone else could still achieve this unparalleled feat."
"The Chu land is ten times more complicated than the Xiongnu. It is difficult for the people of the Chu land to distinguish whether they are enemies or friends. What's more, Li Xin was defeated in the Chu land. This time, in order to avenge his shame, he must be greedy for success. The old minister believes that, Perhaps Li Xin and Huaiguzi were defeated and were ashamed to admit it, so they sent people here to lie about the military situation."
The soldier suddenly shouted wildly: "This villain has never lied about the military situation. Exiled Immortal and General Li are so powerful, how can they be defeated?"
The soldier looked around and suddenly said: "If you don't believe me, I will die to prove my purpose."
Then, the pawn crashed towards the stone steps. He only heard a muffled sound and his head was bleeding.
Everyone exclaimed in unison, and Ying Zheng said urgently: "Save people, save people quickly."
Several people ran over and quickly wrapped the pawn's head with cloth. There was a big gash in his head, and blood was flowing out.
Some people shouted: "Use alcohol first, then sew him up."
There was a chaos in front of the Yizheng Hall. A young eunuch wanted to carry the young soldier away for treatment, but the young soldier struggled and refused to leave. He said angrily: "Your Majesty, King Kuaiji fought hard for more than twenty days. How difficult is it to banish an immortal? How difficult is it to travel thousands of miles with General Li Xin? Now there is someone who is wearing silk and has a fat body, but he is talking nonsense here. The pain in my heart is unbearable. "
Ying Zheng walked over and said, "Don't worry and treat your injuries. I will immediately order people to investigate. When the truth is revealed, the false accusers will sit down."
After hearing this, the pawn immediately felt relieved and stopped struggling. Soon, he fainted completely, and the young eunuchs hurriedly carried him away.
Wang Jian stood there in a daze, all he could think about was: Is the false accuser sitting back? The old minister is not making a false accusation, he is just making a reasonable suspicion. Isn’t this okay?
"Wang Jian!" Ying Zheng suddenly shouted sharply.
Wang Jian shivered and said with a complicated mood: "Old minister... is here."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "You are familiar with the Chu land. I order you to lead the army immediately and enter the Chu land. If the rebellion of Xiang Liang has not been put down, then put down the rebellion and destroy the thieves. If Xiang Liang is dead, lead the army to eliminate the remaining parties. Shock Xiao Xiao."
Wang Jian bowed and accepted the order.
All civil and military officials in the court looked at Wang Jian with some sympathy.
Just now, the pawn was willing to die to prove his ambition. It is already obvious whether the King of Kuaiji has been rescued. Wang Jian just wanted to talk too much. Isn't this looking for death?
Although the emperor did not punish him on the spot, he must have been extremely angry. This time he led troops into Chu just because he was familiar with the Chu land. This time... I'm afraid it was the last time Wang Jian led troops.
Wang Jian didn't pay attention to anyone, but left the palace with worries: Who would have thought that the pawn who reported the news was mentally ill? Just said a few words, as for seeking death?
After returning home, he tidied up a little and arrived at the camp.
Wang Heng was waiting there. When he saw Wang Jian coming, he said in a panic: "Grandpa, just now a young eunuch came with your majesty's decree. The generals in the army have been replaced by 70%. Most of them are not my Wang family's cronies. .”
Wang Jian nodded slightly: "I have already guessed that Your Majesty does not trust you and me. This troop dispatch is nominally under my command. In fact, as long as I have the slightest deviation, these generals will ignore me on His Majesty's orders."
Wang Heng asked nervously: "Your Majesty, are you starting to doubt me, the Wang family?"
Wang Jian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, your majesty is just angry for a moment. These generals are your majesty's spies. As long as we make great achievements in Chu, these spies will also inform your majesty of our loyalty and bravery. In short, this matter has its disadvantages. It’s also beneficial, so you don’t have to worry.”
Wang Heng nodded slowly.
Grandfather and grandson encouraged the soldiers a few words, and then marched towards Chu.
Wang Jian was old and sat in a carriage instead of riding a horse. Wang Heng and Wang Jian sat opposite each other.
Wang Jian recounted the news he heard in the court hall. After hearing this, Wang Heng was shocked and said to Wang Jian: "There are only more than 300 people in Xiang Liang left? Even if they can escape, what will they do?"
Wang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Do you think Xiang Liang will die?"
Wang Heng sighed: "Even if I don't die, I can't stand up. And without Xiang Liang, my Wang family is finished."
Wang Jian shook his head: "No. Xiang Liang is alive or dead. If he is alive, we can secretly help him make a comeback. If he is dead...can't we order someone to pretend to be him?"
Wang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you mean, grandfather, to support another person to rebel under the banner of Xiang Liang?"
Wang Jian smiled and nodded: "So, Xiang Liang's life or death is not important. In the days to come, I will be in the light, and you will be in the dark. You take my Wang family's cronies and make arrangements in Chu. If you want these 100,000 In the army, there are rebels who can be killed. And they will be killed endlessly."
Wang Heng nodded excitedly.

In Jing Fu's mansion, Xiang Chao was chatting with Jing Fu.
He looked around and said mysteriously: "Brother Jing, do you know that my brother has already raised the flag of righteousness in Chudi?"
Jing Fu nodded.
Xiang Chao said mysteriously: "Now, my brother has besieged the King of Kuaiji in Yuewang Mountain. I think it will take some time to capture the King of Kuaiji. By then, the country will be at your fingertips."
Jing Fu smiled dryly and nodded: "Yes, yes."
Xiang Chao said with emotion: "Sometimes, I still envy you. In terms of talent and strength, you are more than a hundred times worse than my Yu'er. You are so lucky that you will be a hero of the Great Chu."
Jing Fu thought to himself: Xiang Yu and I are not of the same generation at all. How can we compare like this?
While the two were chatting, a housekeeper came and said breathlessly to Jing Fu: "Master, there is news. It is said that Xiang Liang was defeated and fled with 300 people, and Li Xin was chasing after him. .”
Xiang Chao was stunned when he heard this. He slowly turned his head and looked at the housekeeper: "Seriously?"
The housekeeper said: "The news came from the palace."
Xiang Chao muttered to himself and deceived himself: "Does the news coming from the palace have to be true?"
He didn't say goodbye to Jing Fu, but held on to the wall and walked outside in a daze.
When he reached the door, he turned around and asked the housekeeper: "Is there any news about Xiang Yu?"
The steward said: "It is said that he was hit by an arrow in the chest and has been unconscious since then."
Xiang Chao nodded and said: "My Yu'er is still alive after being hit by an arrow. If it had been someone else, he would have died countless times."
Jing Fu was a little helpless: Is this person sick? How long has it been, yet you are still praising me.

In the Poppy Palace, Wei Young was in high spirits and was asking Fu Yao for news about Li Shui.
She had already heard about Li Shui and Li Xin rescuing Young Master Gao. But how exactly, she didn't know.
In fact, Fu Yao didn't know either, but he tried his best to use his imagination and add fuel to the description.
At first, Weiyang listened very carefully, but later, she gradually realized that something was wrong. How can we march and fight, and how can we scatter beans to form troops and call for wind and rain? Why are there gods in the sky helping out?
But later Weiyang discovered that if these contents were sorted out, it would be a good movie. So...she let Fu Yao continue to talk nonsense.
The two siblings were enthusiastically creating, when suddenly a palace maid came to report that Xiang Ji had arrived.
Xiang Ji is the son's biological mother. According to the rules for Ying Zheng to be crowned king, after Ying Zheng becomes an immortal and leaves the mortal world, Xiang Ji will go to the Chu land and live with King Kuaiji.
Now that Ying Zheng is still alive, Xiang Ji stays in the palace, separated from King Kuaiji.
Weiyang and Fuyao heard Xiangji's visit and rushed out to greet her. As a result, they saw Xiang Ji kneeling in the yard and kowtowing to the main room as if she were worshiping her ancestors.
Wei Yang was taken aback and quickly helped Xiang Ji up with Fu Yao on her left and right sides.
Xiang Ji's face was full of tears, and she sobbed: "If it weren't for the banished immortal, my child and I would never be able to see each other again. The banished immortal is thousands of miles away, and I can't thank him. The same goes for his disciples who come to thank him. of."
At this time, Poppy also came out and quickly helped Xiang Ji.
Xiang Ji looked at Poppy with a grateful face and said: "From now on, in this palace, Xiang Ji will be my only servant. But if I have an order, I will never refuse, no matter how hard it is."
Poppy looked emotional: "They are all my sisters, why is this happening?"
However, Xiang Ji looked sincere and insisted on saluting the poppy.
Poppy held Xiang Ji's hand, turned to look at Fu Yao, and secretly sighed in her heart: It's a blessing for Fu Yao to have Huai Guzi as his teacher. ntent
