My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 211 Chu is in trouble at home, and Wei Jiu, a strong man, cuts off his wrist to lure the wolf!

King Chu Han couldn't help but ask: "What good opportunity?"

Wei Jiu responded solemnly: "A good opportunity to expand our territory!"

"The Qin army is outnumbered, but our cities in the Wei Dynasty are still holding on. With Qin's military strength, how long will it take to conquer all of Wei?"

"If Chu sends troops first before Qin does, can it take all of Wei's territory before Qin does?!"

In the Shouchun Palace, many courtiers could not help but express their emotions and whisper:
"This makes sense! If the Qin army does not number in the tens of thousands, how can it take over the entire territory of Wei?"

"Even if the Qin army takes the entire territory of Wei, it will not be able to defend it with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"

"But the commander of the Qin army is Lord Chang'an!"

"What about Chang'an Lord? With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you compete with our great Chu!"

The current internal situation in Chu State is in a mess.

It is still unclear who will rule the Chu State in the future.

Where the Chu State will go in the future may not necessarily have anything to do with them.

Therefore, no force is interested in the external environment, and they are all focused on internal fighting.

But Wei Jiu gave them a pie that they couldn't refuse.

A blessed land at your fingertips!

However, Wei Jia shouted angrily: "Brother Jiu, don't talk nonsense!"

"My father is still leading his army to resist, and we, the Wei Dynasty, are not dead yet!"

We are here for help!
Not here to lure wolves into the house!

And how can you curse me that the Wei Dynasty has perished?
Wei Jia couldn't bear it!
Wei Jiu responded in a low voice sincerely: "Brother, trust me!"

After finishing his words, Wei Jiu continued to speak loudly: "Everyone knows that the only powerful countries in the world are Qin and Chu."

"Now that the State of Zhao has sent heavy troops to fight Qin, the State of Qin is unable to mobilize troops to reinforce Lord Chang'an's troops."

"If Chu sends troops, he can at least capture all of Wei, and possibly even Han, and push Qin back to Hangu Pass!"

"The sacred lands outside the Pass will all belong to the State of Chu."

"The only ones standing in front of the Chu State are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Lord Chang'an."

"Is the Chu State afraid of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Lord Chang'an?"

Focus on luring them with profit, and then supplement them with provocation.

After saying these words, Mo Ao Jingchou, General Zhaoyuan and other generals immediately came out and handed over:

"The end will fight!"

Li Yuan said with emotion: "How could I, the great Chu, be afraid of Qin?!"

"It's just that our army in Chu has been devastated by war and needs to recuperate."

"Now I, the Great Chu, am willing to help the Wei State. However, I, the Great Chu, are also powerless!"

After finishing his words, Li Yuan looked at Jingchou and other generals.

However, this time, they stopped talking.

Wei Jiu said flatly: "Foreign ministers also know that Chu is in a difficult situation."

"Of course, didn't the King of Chu hear that 'the enemy cannot be false and the time cannot be lost'?"

"The ambition of Qin's wolf is obvious, and he will not give Chu the time to cultivate."

"Qin may send troops to the entire Wei region at any time, and may even withdraw troops from Zhao region to reinforce Chang'an Jun's troops."

"Now is the best opportunity for Chu State, and one of the few!"

"Once the Qin State swallows up our Wei territory, Chu will only be left with a more powerful enemy!"

"At that time, there will no longer be Han, Wei and Chu who can jointly resist Qin, and Chu will have to resist this powerful enemy alone!"

Li Yuan smiled: "Ningling Lord, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

"As Prince Wei said, perhaps King Wei is still leading the crowd to resist."

Wei Jiu said calmly: "The foreign minister does not think that my father can last long."

"No one but Wei can resist Qin's attack."

"As for whether to believe the judgment of the foreign ministers, it is up to the King of Chu and Li Lingyin to decide!"

Li Yuan looked at King Chu Han, who nodded slightly: "No one knows what Lord Ningling means."

"I will discuss this carefully with all my dear friends."

"Dazai (chief diplomat) Qu He will take the Crown Prince of Wei and all the Wei ministers to Zhanghua Terrace to rest."

Qu He immediately stepped out and held his hands: "Wei!"

Immediately, Qu He gave Wei a fake smile and held his hands: "Prince Wei, please!"

Wei Jia forced a smile and followed Qu He out of Shouchun Palace.

Along the way, Wei Jia said nothing.

It wasn't until he entered the main hall of Zhanghuatai and said goodbye to Qu He that Wei Jia just yelled angrily: "Brother Jiu, how can you curse your father and me, the Great Wei!"

Wei Jiu said sincerely: "Brother, my loyalty to my father and the great Wei is no less than yours!"

"My brother is doing this for the sake of my great Wei!"

Wei Jiu did not answer Wei Ji's question directly, but expressed his attitude first, and then asked: "Brother, have you ever noticed anything wrong since you entered Chu?"

Wei Jie suppressed his anger and frowned in thought.

After a moment, Wei Jie said slowly: "Shouchun City is heavily guarded, and you and I saw many troop movements on the way to Chu. It seems that Qin is not attacking Zhao Wei this time, but attacking Chu."

"Above the court, the King of Chu is silent, while Ling Yin is talkative. Mo Ao, Dazai and other important ministers have difficulty communicating with Ling Yin."

Wei Jiu nodded lightly: "Last year, King Kaolie of Chu died, and on the same day, Lord Chun Shen died."

"My brother heard rumors that on the day King Kaolie of Chu died, Li Yuan sent assassins to ambush Lord Chun Shen at Thorny Gate. When Lord Chun Shen entered the palace, they immediately ambush Lord Chun Shen."

"When Lord Chun Shen died, Li Yuan used swords to threaten Chu King Han, and used his identity as Chu King Han's uncle to occupy the position of Ling Yin."

Wei Jia frowned subconsciously: "Really?"

"Was Chun Shenjun killed by Li Yuan or by the rich clan?"

The internal power struggle in the Wei State is not as good as that in South Korea, but as the prince of the Wei State, Wei Jia has also been trained by Wei Zeng since he was a child on how to deal with issues between the DPRK and China.

The first time he heard this rumor, Wei Jia felt something was wrong!
Ling Yin does have huge power, but the problem is that power is both top-down and bottom-up.

If Li Yuan is really as rumored, he assassinated Lord Chun Shen through several assassins and then took King Han of Chu hostage to gain the position of Ling Yin.

Then Li Yuan could not gain power from the top down through King Chu Han, nor could he gain power from the bottom up through the support of the lower levels.

Even if King Han of Chu really had to agree to Li Yuan's appointment as Ling Yin due to the threat to his life, how could Li Yuan survive until now?
Just those few assassins?

Isn't this a joke!

Wei Jiu shook his head: "I don't know whether this rumor is true or not."

"But this rumor has spread widely in the Chu State. The only news we, the Wei people stationed in Chu, got." Wei Jie was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "I think it's just another victim after Wu Qi and Qu Yuan. That’s all.”

All countries had reforms, but Chu's was the least thorough.

In the 16th year of King Chu's mourning, King Chu's mourning supported Wu Qi and launched the first reform in Chu State against the nobles of Chu State.

The old clans of Chu State directly used the palace officials to poison King Chu Mourning.

In the 21st year of King Chu's mourning, King Chu's mourning died, and Wu Qi was shot and killed by Chu nobles in the mourning hall of King Chu's mourning. Chu's first reform failed.

In the 12th year of King Huai of Chu, King Chu Huai unconditionally supported Qu Yuan and launched the second round of reforms.

But unfortunately, Qu Yuan's reform came to an abrupt end when King Huai of Chu was captured and imprisoned by Qin.

The two kings of Chu and two great talents tried their best to save the country, but they all failed halfway.

It failed to bring any changes to Chu State, and its only contribution was to leave the Dragon Boat Festival as a legal holiday for future generations.

Look at Chun Shenjun again.

Although Chun Shenjun did not initiate fundamental reforms, he gradually eroded the power of the old nobles of Chu by supporting retainers and recommending foreign guests to the court, in an attempt to carry out peaceful evolution from the court to the local government.

After the Chu nobles first shot Wu Qi and then exiled Qu Yuan, could they let Chun Shen go?

Wei Jiu nodded slightly: "The cause of Chun Shenjun's death is just my guess."

"But after Chun Shenjun's death, Li Lingyin inherited nearly half of Chun Shen Jun's retainers, and like Chun Shen Jun, he recruited more retainers and recommended foreign guests to become officials in the court."

"Now Li Yuan's position is not secure."

Wei Jia suddenly understood: "So it's not that Li Lingyin doesn't want to send troops, but that Li Lingyin can't mobilize Chu's troops?"

"That's why I lured him with benefits!"

Wei Jiu sighed softly: "I also know that this action is just to attract the wolf into the house."

"My brother doesn't want this either!"

"But with the current situation of the Chu State, we must either use heavy troops to coerce or lure with heavy profits. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Chu State to send troops to rescue our great Wei!"

After Wei Jie was silent for a long time, he sighed with emotion: "Why can't King Chu Kaolie persist for a few more years?"

"If King Chu Kaolie and Lord Chun Shen are still in charge of Chu's government, why would you and I end up like this?"

"God, don't bless me, the great Wei Dynasty!"

……

On the other side, Shouchun Palace seems to have turned into a vegetable market.

"It was as strong as the Wei State, but it died!"

"After Han, Wei fell again. In both battles, Qin destroyed it. In both battles, Lord Chang'an led the troops. Lord Chang'an must be our greatest enemy of Chu!"

"Wei, the great state of Chu, is also worried when the state of Wei dies!"

"This is definitely a great opportunity for our country to expand its territory. We must not miss it!"

"Your Majesty, send troops!"

Li Yuanan sat on the high platform and asked in a deep voice: "Send troops?"

"Where do the soldiers come from?"

Jingchou immediately said: "We, the great Chu, have [-] main troops and [-] county troops to assist them, so we can fight Qin!"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Good!"

"In that case, please ask Jing Mo Ao to lead the main army and county troops to go out and capture all Wei territory!"

"If you can't..." Li Yuan said solemnly: "I will be dismissed based on the crime!"

Jingchou was speechless.

Li Yuan then looked at the courtiers and generals: "If anyone thinks that he can defeat Lord Chang'an of the Qin State with this military strength, he can invite you to fight!"

All the ministers and generals were silent, only looking at Xiang Yan, the Shangzhu of Chu, who was sitting in the first row under the high platform.

Facing the attention of everyone, Xiang Yan said cautiously: "The Chang'an Lord of Qin has not been in the army for a long time, so it is difficult to judge his military strategy."

"But this person's military skills are very good, and he often has new weapons to use. He is definitely not mediocre."

"The last general, I dare not say that I will win!"

Even if Xiang Yan was sure of victory, he would not say anything.

Because Xiang Yan knows very well that the key to the current problem is not the odds of winning at all!

Li Yuan smiled happily: "Since even the Shangzhu Kingdom thinks there is no guarantee of victory, it would be better for me, the Great Chu, not to interfere in this battle."

"Comrades, if you have nothing else to do, please withdraw from the court."

Jingchou, Zhaoyuan and others couldn't help but ponder in their hearts.

Finally, Jingchou raised his hand and said, "Jing's food town has a good harvest this year."

"Now is a rare opportunity for our great Chu. How can the general see that our great Chu is sitting back and letting this opportunity slip away due to its small number of troops?"

"The general is willing to send [-] private soldiers to join the main army in the war!"

Zhao Yuan and other representatives of the major clans also stepped forward and handed over their hands: "The Zhao family is willing to send [-] private soldiers to join the war!"

"Qu's family is willing to send [-] private soldiers to join the war!"

"Doushi..."

With the voices of more than a dozen nobles, the number of troops that Chu State could mobilize surged from 35 to [-] in the blink of an eye!

Li Yuan nodded happily: "With an army of more than [-], our great Chu can fight Qin."

"Your Majesty, I advise you that [-]% of the land gained in this battle should be awarded to all the princes to reward them for their service!"

King Chu Han nodded lightly: "What your commander Yin said makes sense!"

Straightening his back, King Chu Han said in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Shang Zhuguo Yan is the commander-in-chief and leads 35 troops to send troops to Wei."

"Thirty percent of the territory gained from this battle will be used as a reward to reward meritorious ministers!"

　Regarding the life experience of King Chu Han and the explanation of Chun Shenjun’s death.

　　This book sets up the story that King Han of Chu is the biological son of King Kaolie of Chu.

　　According to records in "Historical Records: Biography of Chun Shenjun" and "Warring States Policy", King Chu Kaolie was infertile, so Li Yuan married his sister Li Huan to Chun Shenjun, and then gave her to Chu Kaolie after Li Huan became pregnant. King Lie, and then Li Huan gave birth to King Chu You Xiong Han, that is, the biological father of King Chu You Xiong Han was actually Chun Shenjun. This view is very interesting, and it is also the mainstream view in current public perception.

　　But Cheese did not adopt this view for the following reasons:

　　1. It is recorded in "Historical Records: The Family of Chu": "King You died, and his brother Yudai, who had the same mother as his brother, was named King Ai."It had been more than two months since King Ai had been established. The disciples of King Ai's concubine Fu Chu attacked and killed King Ai and established Fu Chu as king. 'That is, according to the "Historical Records of the Chu Family" written by the same Taishi Gong, King Kaolie of Chu had at least two sons, Xiong You and Xiong Fuchu, and King Chu Kaolie was not born to Li Huan. On the issue of life experience, Tai Shigong appeared inconsistent.

　　According to Professor Li Kaiyuan's "Historical Relics of the Last King of Chu" and modern archaeological results, it is found that Xiong Qi, the king of Changping in Qin, was probably the son of King Kaolie of Chu (still controversial).

　　Combining the above two points, King Chu Kaolie had at least three and possibly four sons, and at least two women gave birth to children for King Chu Kaolie. This shows that unless King Chu Kaolie has a special hobby, he likes to take over Chun Shenjun. He picked up one after another, and even played with Chun Shenjun, otherwise King Chu Kaolie should be fertile, and Xiong Han should be the son of King Chu Kaolie.
