Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Today, this place has become a living hell.

The King of Chu had been levying heavy taxes and levying heavy levies, which had already caused public resentment. The local people hoped that the government troops would recover the Qi and Lu lands as soon as possible so that they could live a normal life.

Li Jiao summoned famous generals from ancient and modern times such as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and asked them to rush to the aid of Qi and Lu. He had already written letters of appointment for them. When they arrived at the front line, they would each command an army.

Although there were many reinforcements from various places, most of their generals were mediocre and did nothing, avoiding fighting in order to protect themselves.

After Zhao Yun and other famous generals took their positions, they personally killed the cowardly generals and rectified military discipline, which greatly boosted morale. After discussion, the generals waited for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army.

Let’s talk about the King of Chu. He was summoning all the generals to discuss matters in the military tent. He wanted to march into the capital in one go, but he didn’t have enough strength. He could only advance step by step and plan for the future. Unexpectedly, he was trapped in Qi and Lu and could not make any progress.

The King of Chu said: "The Prince's personal army is the biggest enemy of our Chu army. We must concentrate our forces to destroy it. Once the Prince's personal army is destroyed, the reinforcements from other places can be defeated overnight."

King Zhao Di of Chu asked his chief counselor Tao Guangxiao: "Master, do you have any good ideas? If we can't get out of the Qi-Lu quagmire, our army will be in trouble."

Tao Guangxiao, who looked like a monk, said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our people have already sneaked into the capital to assassinate the emperor and the crown prince. I believe that victory will come soon. Once the emperor and the crown prince are killed, the officials in the capital will be at a loss. At that time, Your Majesty can move into the Forbidden City without bloodshed and become the new emperor of Daxia."

Chu Wang Zhao Di then turned his worry into joy, holding Tao Guangxiao's hand, and said with a smile: "The military advisor is really smart. This trick of cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron is really brilliant."

Tao Guangxiao pretended to be modest and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. No, Your Majesty, it is all because of your great fortune. I believe that the old emperor and the ignorant prince will not live for many more days."

King Zhao Di of Chu laughed happily and said, "Then let them jump around for a few more days!"

The King of Chu was in a very good mood and was generous for once. He ordered his people to send good wine and food to the soldiers. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the rebel generals gathered together and talked a lot.

Someone said, "Can the prince accomplish this? If not, we will suffer as well."

A general said, "Let's just muddle along. We've already boarded the pirate ship and it's too late to get off now. It's better to stick to it until the end. Maybe we can turn danger into safety."

Someone echoed, "If their soldiers surrender to the government army, they may still have a chance of survival. We are all senior officers under the King of Chu. According to the court, we are the accomplices of the king. If we are caught, how can we have a good outcome?"

Another general under the King of Chu said, "Brother Yuanba, this is wrong. If we can make up for our crimes and make meritorious contributions, we may not only survive, but also get promoted and make a fortune."

The man who had offered the advice just now said, "I cannot go into detail here. Brothers who want to survive, please come to my military tent tonight at midnight to discuss in detail."

Late at night, several generals of the King of Chu gathered together to plot. It turned out that they were ready to sell out the King of Chu in exchange for wealth and glory, and the plan had already been made.

They agreed on a time, and each brought his own men and rushed into the tent of the King of Chu. The confused King of Chu Zhao Di had not yet figured out what was going on before he was killed by several conspiring generals and his head was cut off.

The initiator among them was named Chen Youliang. He shouted: "Brothers, the rebel Zhao Di of Daxia is dead. His head is here. We must surrender to the government army quickly to survive."

The Chu army soldiers who arrived upon hearing the news saw that the prince was dead and there was no need to fight anymore. Even the military advisor Tao Guangxiao became disheartened and felt that the situation was hopeless. Although the King of Chu had several sons, they were all playboys and "useless people who cannot be helped".

Although the King of Chu was arrogant and domineering during his lifetime, he was still a hero. However, his descendants were all good-for-nothings. Now, with the death of Zhao Di, the lineage of the King of Chu has come to an end.
