My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 240: Don’t let me eat well?Then don't blame me for flipping the table!

The eunuchs who had been well prepared immediately raised their voices and spread the words of King Han of Chu throughout the city by word of mouth.

Everyone in Shouchun City, both regular soldiers and private soldiers, trembled in their hearts and looked at King Chu Han in disbelief.

Marquis?

How can this word relate to them!
The class solidification in Chu State is very serious.

The Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans are all branches of the Chu royal family.

The Xiang family is a descendant of the royal family of King Xiang, and the Wu family is a descendant of the royal family of King Wu, as are the Dou, Cheng, and Sun families.

As ordinary people, no matter how outstanding they are, it is almost impossible for them to be granted the title of lord or king.

But today, King Chu Han gave them such an opportunity.

Although you may not be able to seize this opportunity even if you pay the price of your life, isn't it a bad life!

As long as there is a one in [-] chance of becoming a marquis, it is worth risking your life to make the whole family rich!

The whole Chu army in the city shouted: "I am willing to fight to the death for the king!"

Jingchou, Zhaocen and others asked in shock and anger: "Your Majesty, how can such an important position be given to the common people lightly?"

The King of Chu spoke boldly: "If you can be loyal to the king and patriotic, and relieve the worries of me and the poor, what about the common people?"

"I don't hesitate to give you the high position!"

"If you can't be loyal to the emperor and love the country, it will be of no use to our great country, so what if you are a nobleman?"

"I won't allow my corpse to eat without food!"

Outside the city, Qin soldiers surrounded Shouchun City.

The nobles in the city were in ruins.

King Han of Chu announced his political opinions to the outside world for the first time in an unexpected but logical manner.

Since the external environment was dangerous and the internal nobles were unreliable, King Chu Han turned his attention to ordinary people at the grassroots level.

Taking a step forward, the King of Chu looked around the defenders and said firmly: "In today's world, the military situation is dangerous."

"Both Han and Wei are gone. Will Zhao, Yan, Qi, or Chu be the next country to be destroyed?"

"For my great Chu, for thousands of years, everything that is beneficial to my great Chu should be promoted."

"Only by not skimping on status and acting on merit can we, the great Chu, once again stand at the top of the pack!"

King Chu Han's first words gave the brave generals hope.

King Chu Han's second words gave everyone hope.

Who wants to be exploited by nobles for the rest of their lives?

Who doesn’t want to be a noble?
All Chu troops, including Jing's private soldiers, excitedly shouted: "Fight to the death for the king!!!"

The faces of Jingchou and others suddenly turned ugly.

Jingchou originally wanted to preserve the strength of the Jing family, and at the same time force King Han of Chu to make more concessions and provide more benefits in exchange for the nobles sending troops.

But Jingchou never expected that Chu King Han would use this opportunity to naturally improve the status of the people, gain their support, and even kidnap Jing's [-] private soldiers!

The support of the small people seems to be insignificant, but after the Battle of Yongcheng, who dares to really treat the people as if they are nothing?
What makes the nobles even more vigilant and resistant is that the Chu State has always shared political power with the royal family and the monarchy, but now King Han of Chu wants to invite talented people from common people to participate in the feast of political power!
This means that King Chu Han intentionally broke the old rules and even intentionally overturned the table they were eating on!
The King of Chu laughed loudly and loudly: "My dear friends, these are our soldiers of Chu."

"Although they have gone through a fierce battle, they are still fighting with high spirits and are worthy of a battle!"

"Jing Mo Ao should order the [-] private soldiers stationed outside the city to enter Shouchun City and guard the city wall together!"

With a gloomy voice, Jingchou raised his hands and admonished: "Please, Your Majesty, retract your preamble."

"Otherwise, the king will definitely regret it."

King Chu Han said firmly: "I am the King of Chu!"

Seeing King Chu Han's unflinching gaze, Jingchou was silent for a few moments and then said in a deep voice: "I am ill, please leave for now."

The King of Chu nodded curtly and said: "Since Jing Aiqing is ill, she should take a good rest and return to the court when her body and bones are well."

"Since these private soldiers of the Jing family are high-spirited and ready to fight, there is no need to accompany Aiqing back to the military camp to rest. They should go directly to the city wall to guard the city."

Jingchou said casually: "You should obey your Majesty's arrangements."

The hearts of these [-] private soldiers have been dispersed, and even trying to get them back is of little use.

Compared with the [-] private soldiers, the top priority is to stabilize the table where the nobles are encroaching on their power!
After Jingchou, many noble leaders also left with excuses.

For a time, only King Han of Chu, a group of Chu clan members, and Li Yuan were left on the originally crowded city gate tower.

Li Yuan sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you are too hasty."

"We don't yet have the strength to suppress the nobles."

King Chu Han said in a deep voice: "I don't want to wait any longer."

"Strength cannot wait. Only through constant striving and constant struggle can the few gain the power to suppress the nobles!"

"The State of Qin has given me such an opportunity."

"Chang'an Lord has weakened the military strength of each clan, and the attack on Shouchun City has given me the opportunity to directly control the military."

"I need to seize this opportunity and seize the military power!"

Ying Zheng set a good example for King Han of Chu.

So what if nobles occupy more than [-]% of the official positions in the court?

Just remove the nobles and recruit foreigners to fill them.

So what if the forces in North Korea and China are complicated?
As long as you have enough troops in your hands, you can end all the troubles with an internal war and put all the power in the hands of the king!
Li Yuan shook his head bitterly: "The conditions of our country, Chu, are completely different from those of Qin."

"If changes can be carried out so easily, why did so many kings of Chu die because of it?"

"And the opportunity the king calls is based on winning this battle."

"But the person standing outside the city is Lord Chang'an of Qin!"

King Chu Han said in a deep voice: "For this good opportunity, I will not hesitate to take risks!"

Li Yuan was silent.

It's over, it's useless to talk about it.

Li Yuan could only look outside the city and saw that the Qin army had taken advantage of the internal fighting among the Chu kings and ministers to complete the pre-war arrangements.

120 catapults stand outside the south, north and west walls of Shouchun City.

Following an order, the tip poles of 120 catapults were raised together, driving more than 120 flying stones weighing nearly a hundred kilograms to hit the walls of Shouchun City!
"boom!!!"

"How could the Qin army's flying rocks be so huge!" "No! No! Brother, where are you!"

"Hurry and report to your Majesty that the female wall of the south city wall is vulnerable to a flying stone!"

A deafening roar suddenly sounded, followed by an uproar throughout the city.

King Chu Han even felt the city wall trembling under his feet, and his body couldn't help but staggered.

"Kings!"

Li Yuan hurriedly supported Chu Wanghan, and saw that Chu Wanghan's face was a little pale: "How could the Qin army's flying rocks be so huge!"

King Han of Chu had read military reports a long time ago and knew that the Qin army's catapults could not only move, but also throw dozens or hundreds of kilograms of flying stones.

But before today, King Chu Han had no idea about this, and he couldn't imagine how much impact such heavy flying rocks could have on the city wall.

Li Yuan sincerely persuaded: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, please go back to the palace and wait."

The Qin army's shouts of killing could be heard outside the city wall.

Three hundred Qin troops were rushing toward the three city walls.

King Han of Chu nodded immediately when he saw this: "Uncle, I have trouble here."

Li Yuan solemnly raised his hands: "I will never disgrace my orders!"

Watching King Chu Han quickly descend the city wall, Li Yuan looked back towards the outside of the city and shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Jing's private army is divided into four groups, with five thousand soldiers and horses stationed on each of the four walls in the east, west, south and north."

"The soldiers of Dachu County and the officials guard the west wall, the regular army guards the south wall, and the guards guard the north wall."

"Recruit servants from each clan to serve as corvees."

"Recruit all men in the city between the ages of 16 and 60, organize them immediately, and prepare for war under the city wall!"

Looking at Ying Chengyu standing on horseback outside the west city gate in the distance, Li Yuan had to admit it.

He panicked!

But Li Yuan didn't know that Ying Chengyu, who was looking at him, was even more panicked.

Pressing the sword with his right hand, Ying Chengyu asked in a deep voice: "There is still no letter from Lord Changping?"

The hexagram master shook his head: "I just asked the visitor, but I didn't find any letter from Lord Changping."

Ying Chengxuan felt his teeth itching: "Mr. Changping said that the Jing family was at odds with the King of Chu, so I led the army to Shouchun for a surprise attack."

"But I have just deployed my formation to attack the city, but Jing's private soldiers have already gone up to the city wall to guard the city."

"Is this what Lord Changping calls the discord between the Jing family and the King of Chu?"

"Shouldn't Mr. Changping give me an explanation?"

If Xiong Qiyan hadn't said that the conflict between the Jing family and Chu Wang Han had become increasingly fierce, the Jing family would probably not have assisted Chu Wang Han in guarding the city, and Ying Chengyu would not have attacked Shouchun City at all.

After dividing the troops again, Ying Chengyu only had [-] troops left in his hands.

But the Jing family, which withdrew its troops early, had more than [-] private soldiers left, and there must be still soldiers and horse guards in Shouchun City.

If the Jing family joins the war, the strength of the two sides will be about the same, but the Chu army still has a city wall to defend, and its advantage on paper will be even greater.

Not only was it difficult for Ying Chengyu to break through Shouchun City, it was even difficult for him to pose a sufficient threat to King Han of Chu. King Han of Chu lost his mind and forced Xiang Yan to lead his army to come back for reinforcements!

The hexagram master hesitated and said: "Maybe there is another sudden change in the city?"

"Changping-kun should not deceive the Lord on such a big matter."

"My lord, will our army continue to attack Shouchun City?"

Ying Chengyu couldn't help but want to quit.

With the overall strength of the army at a disadvantage, a single army went deep into the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom to attack Shouchun City for a long time. There were too many variables, and the benefits were not proportional to the risks.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers came from Juechen from the northwest and shouted: "Where is the Lord of Chang'an!"

Ying Chengqiao followed the sound and looked surprised: "Meng Shilang?"

"Eight husbands, go quickly and welcome Shi Lang Meng!"

Under the leadership of Bafu, Meng Tian was able to smoothly enter the Chinese army.

When he was still five feet away from Ying Chengyu, Meng Tian got off his horse and bowed his hands: "Servant Meng Tian, ​​I would like to pay my respects to Lord Chang'an."

"I never thought that Lord Chang'an would attack Shouchun City!"

As he spoke, Meng Tian was filled with surprise.

Before setting off, Meng Tian never imagined that Ying Chengyu could actually run to Shouchun City.

Just looking at Ying Chengxuan's marching route into the Chu land, who would have thought that Ying Chengxuan's troops were actually the weaker side!

Ying Chengyu returned the favor and said, "It's just a tactical game."

"Is there something big going on in the court? Minister Meng was actually ordered to come here in person!"

Meng Tian quickly took out a bamboo tube and held it up in front of Ying Chengyu with both hands: "Young Master Chenggan of Chang'an, take the order!"

Ying Chengyu bowed and cupped his hands, saying solemnly: "Wei!"

He took the bamboo tube, cut open the mud-sealed letter, and took out the bamboo slips inside. The familiar carvings appeared in front of Ying Chengyu.

[Now Xiang Rong, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, led an army of [-] men and surrounded the city of Xinzheng. 】

Just after reading the first paragraph, Ying Chengyu stared angrily: "How dare you, thief!"

Then Ying Chengyu quickly looked behind him with anxiety.

[However, there are [-] guards and [-] regular troops in the city, enough to hold the city for half a year without any worries. 】

[It’s just that the subsequent baggage of my unit will not be transported through Xinzheng, but will need to go through Funiu Mountain and Yangzhai. I should know this. 】

[I hope my brother will not be swayed by the siege of Xinzheng City. 】

[It is still up to the younger brother to decide how to act, and the elder brother has deep faith in his abilities! 】

Closing the bamboo slips, Ying Chengyu's face looked extremely ugly.

Ying Zheng is trapped in Xinzheng City!
The king of Da Qin, the eldest brother Ying Chengxuan is being besieged by the Chu army!

Although Ying Zheng repeatedly told Ying Chengxuan in letters to calm down and not waver in his inherent strategy.

But how can Ying Chengxuan be so calm!
