Chu Qing couldn't believe it: "Say it again, who is it?"

"Qin...Qin Wuzhou." The supervisor was frightened by Chu Qing's expression, and even stumbled a little when he spoke.

In such a short period of time, Qin Wuzhou came to the city as the commander-in-chief. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Qin Wuzhou not to know that Qin State is fighting a blitzkrieg, but he has never told him whether Qin Wuzhou really doesn't know, or for him, he can control the world. Your authority is more important than everything else?

Chu Qing thought that it was he who had witnessed all his shameful and unwilling pasts and his desire for power in the world in the book, so the more he understood Qin Wuzhou, the harder it was for him to believe that Qin Wuzhou in this life had made any guarantees to him.

Let's just trust Qin Wuzhou, Chu Qing tried hard to convince himself.

"Leader go down first." Chu Qing said to the chief supervisor.

"Yes, the old slave is retiring."

After Chu Qing finished dressing, he came to the Qinzheng Hall again. The hall was brightly lit, and all the officials above the second rank came together. When they saw Chu Qing, they still called the Fourth Prince, but they all went to Chu Qing to pay their respects to the King of Chu. Courtesy.

"Excuse me." Chu Qing's voice was cold, without any panic, he sat on the chief seat, and said to the ministers, "It's time to start."

Hubu Shangshu first said: "Everyone, even today, I'm not telling lies. I think everyone knows how Chu is. With the talents of the four princes, if you can have a year to recuperate, Chu will have a better chance." , but now the four princes have not ascended the throne, Qin's [-] mighty soldiers have already approached the city, Chu's strength is exhausted, surrender."

"I heard that the commander-in-chief and the fourth prince have a very good relationship. After the surrender of Chu State, the treatment should be very good." Shangshu Hubu felt that although his suggestion was a little bit cowardly, he made every sentence reasonable.

Commander Wu of the garrison of Jianyang City was so angry that he heard the words of Hubu Shangshu, he quickly said to Chu Qing: "Fourth prince, you must not listen to Hubu Shangshu's words, Jianyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a hundred thousand soldiers However, if they only besiege but not attack, they will have difficulty in supplying and cannot survive us; if they attack forcefully, the [-] soldiers in our city will not be able to survive.”

"Hehe," Hubu Shangshu replied. "When the King of Chu was alive, he repeatedly reduced military expenditures. You are still talking nonsense here. Why are you [-] soldiers?"

"If you don't practice, and you don't have weapons, how many can you fight on the battlefield?" Hubu Shangshu sneered, "Surrender directly."

After Hubu Shangshu finished speaking, all the people present saw that Commander Wu blushed, and knew that the military defense in Jianyang City was probably much worse than they imagined. surrender.

Chu Qing didn't express his point of view, he continued to ask: "Wu Tong will lead the battle, Hubu Shangshu will surrender, is there any more?"

The Book of the Ministry of Rites suddenly said: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, the soldiers of the Qin State are fierce and brave, and the State of Chu is bound to be defeated. It is better to abandon the city and flee."

Chu Qing was so angry that he laughed out loud, and he continued to ask: "Is there any more?"

No one in the Palace of Qinzheng made a sound, and the atmosphere was dull and flustered for a while. Almost everyone's faces were worried. What they really cared about was whether their glory and wealth could continue after the change of dynasty.

"The person of the Lord and Harmony stepped forward." Chu Qing was expressionless and indifferent.

Except for Commander Wu, Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Rites and Prime Minister Bian, everyone took a step forward slowly.

Chu knew that what remained in their hearts was only the fear of death and loss of status, so when the imperial army approached the city, they only had a good relationship with Qin Wuzhou in their eyes, which could preserve their interests and class to the greatest extent.

But these people in front of them are the top of the powerful class of Chu State, and they are the people who hold the most important authority in Chu State. Now Chu State is really a state of subjugation.

Chu Qing looked at the only Prime Minister who did not express his opinion, and asked, "What does Prime Minister Bian think?"

"It's absolutely impossible." Prime Minister Bian stood up, turned around, and faced these colleagues who had worked together for decades, with a bit of anger, but his voice was unusually calm, "Ten years have passed, and your brains have been destroyed. Is the grass full?"

"Escape?" Prime Minister Bian first stood in front of the Minister of Rites, with an intimidating manner, he asked, "Where did you escape to?"

"Abandoning the city and fleeing is a coward's act. Abandoning the entire Jianyang City and tens of thousands of people in the Chu Kingdom," Prime Minister Bian said aggressively, "What is a country? We speak the same language, have the same We are accustomed to the culture, shouldering the past of Chu State together, and shouldering the future of Chu State on our shoulders, we have followed the former King of Chu to walk through every inch of the frontier, now you say run away?"

"And you," Prime Minister Bian pointed to all the officials in charge, and asked loudly, "Is it for the sake of the overall situation, or for your own status?"

All the ministers lowered their heads one after another, but still did not change their minds.

Looking for a job in his position, Chu Qing thought that if the crown prince became the king of Chu, he might really leave the Chu state after settling down the people close to him in the mansion, and be with Qin Wuzhou. The country itself has the final say, but it is in the hands of Qin.

But fate is like a shackle, and it has firmly nailed him to the state of Chu.

Chu Qing stood up, and everyone looked at this young man who had not even inherited the Chu throne.

"The state of Chu must fight," Chu Qing asked without the slightest hesitation after making his decision, "What does the state of Chu mean to you?"

No one answered Chu Qing's question, so Chu Qing didn't care, and he continued: "A country is a form of community formed by a certain range of people. Chu is our hometown, our belonging, and our spiritual sustenance. .”

"A country will prosper and decline, but the people living here will live on for generations." Chu Qing pointed out the window, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of surrender?"

"It is an indelible shame that is deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chu country!"

"It's a crime of not being able to lift your head up for generations and being despised by others!"

"It's also the beginning of you being ridiculed by countless people in the history books!"

Chu Qing took a deep breath, this battle has to be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight with all one's strength, no matter whether you win or lose, you must fight with the blood of the people of Chu, otherwise, the people of Chu will be forever The lamb under the knife of others will never stand up again.

"Standing to die, kneeling to live, the martyrs of Chu State once made the right choice, now it's your turn." Chu Qing smiled, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes, "But I remind you, even if you If you want to kneel, you can't live, I will let the kneeling people die first."

Some courtiers seemed to wake up, some were sweating slowly from their foreheads, and more were quite dazed.

"Let's go, everyone prepare for the battle quickly." Chu Qing's smile deepened, and his voice was particularly cold, "Chu country can't afford it, I think you should understand this truth, anyone who hinders the progress of the preparation work, I will make him regret living in this world."

The courtiers have not felt such a strong sense of oppression for a long time. On the one hand, the Qin State's [-] troops are approaching the city.

On the other hand, the recently deceased king of Chu only knew how to lose his temper indiscriminately, but he was very good at handling it. After Chu Qing came to power, he used ruthless methods and cold words. hands.

When everyone walked out of the Palace of Qinzheng, they were even in a daze. Too many things happened today, even like a dream, but everyone knew that this was not a dream. On that day, he was beheaded by Chu Qing in public, which was enough to prove that Chu Qing was not an inexperienced prince.

No one wants to try Chu Qing's skills in person, Chu Qing has fully demonstrated his cruelty in He County.

Bian Miao stayed behind, and he said to Chu Qing: "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, fortunately, you are wise. During the daytime today, the document handed over to General Jin has been sent out urgently."

"If there are [-] soldiers from General Jin rushing to help," Chu Qing walked towards the map of Jianyang City on the table beside him, "we still have a chance of winning."

"So what we have to do now is to hold on until General Jin arrives." Chu Qing pointed to the city wall of Jianyang City, "Jianyang City 15 years ago was easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"But today's Jianyang City, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive three days."

Prime Minister Bian looked at the places Chu Qing was pointing at, sighed helplessly, and said to Chu Qing, "Yes, Jianyang City is too big, and the walls in many places have been in disrepair for a long time."

"The [-] imperial guards guarding the palace are considered strong, how many troops are there in Jianyang City?" Chu Qing asked.

"Actually, there are only about 2, of which nearly [-] are people with wine bags and rice bags." Prime Minister Bian frowned. "In the armory, there are only enough armors and weapons for [-] people to wear. The rest are decayed or corroded."

Chu Qing: "..."

How is this fight going?

Now Chu Qing really wanted to pull King Chu out of the coffin and let him see for himself.

"Winning or losing is not important," Chu Qing readjusted his mentality. He even rejoiced that he was a book wearer. If he was really the fourth prince of the Chu Kingdom who was born and bred, he might be pissed off now. "The important thing is that this battle must be fought out of Chu." The backbone of the country, the Chu country can perish, but the unyielding spirit of the Chu country cannot perish."

"Where is the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard?" Chu Qing asked.

Chai Tanxiong saluted and said, "This subordinate is here."

"Immediately organize people to repair the damaged city walls and gates. There is really no way to repair them, so they will be sealed immediately." Chu Qing pointed out three dilapidated city gates and two damaged city wall roads in the map of Jianyang City.

"Yes."

Xiang Bian looked at Chu Qing who was standing alone in front of the map and was thinking about how to break the situation. His back was extremely bleak, and he knew deep down in his heart that the state of Chu was exhausted, but the heyday of the former emperor was unforgettable.

He still remembered that at that time, the first emperor led the people to gradually build the Chu Kingdom from the most ordinary and even weak countries among the princes to a stronger one. Every moment at that time seemed to be filled with Without hope, time flies, and those hopes seem to be covered with a layer of mist.

Now Chu Qing let him see the opportunity to regain the glory of the past, but he never asked Chu Qing's wishes, Bian Miao is good at people, he knows that Chu Qing does not have too much desire for power, let such a person who has the opportunity to break free from the shackles of strength Young people, shouldering the entire country that is about to decline, maybe this is just his wishful thinking.

"Do you regret it?" Bian Miao asked suddenly.

Chu Qing paused for marking on the map of Jianyang City. Although Prime Minister Bian didn't say anything, he knew what Prime Minister Bian wanted to ask.

"The gift of fate has already marked the price in secret." Chu Qing did not turn around. Since he replaced the original fourth prince in this world, he must accept everything brought by this identity, "I am this The prince of the country has won the rights and honor of the Chu country, so he has to pay a corresponding price for it at a critical moment."

Hearing this, Bian Miao froze in place and didn't make a sound for a long time.

-

Qin Wuzhou was in the military camp under Jianyang City, he sneered and said to Lu Xun, "Who made you do such a stupid thing?"

"The law of using troops is to encircle them if they are ten; Do not go down to Jianyang City."【1】

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously: "We all know how Chu is. The king of Chu is so stupid that he has already ruined Chu's family. "

"If you want to hit you, go fight yourself." Qin Wuzhou only felt that Lu Xun in front of him was really ignorant.

Lu Xun sneered, and said mockingly, "Why are you so resistant, don't tell me..."

"Because the defenders of the city are the four princes of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Qing." Qin Wuzhou said decisively, "It is doomed. Whoever comes will never want to capture Jianyang City with a mere [-] soldiers."

"Even if Jianyang City is dilapidated, the soldiers are weak and weak, and the courtiers are about to surrender?" Lu Xun asked.

"Yes," Qin Wuzhou was extremely firm, "Even if there are only old, weak, women and children left in Jianyang City, it's the same."

In the previous life, when the crown prince of Chu State ascended the throne, Qin State also dispatched [-] soldiers to instigate the rebellion of the three guarding generals who passed by Jianyang City, and took a shortcut to besiege Jianyang City.

Qin Wuzhou clearly remembered that at that time Lu Xun was as conceited as he is today, the Qin army just besieged but did not attack, and within two days of Chu State, a surrendered minister took the initiative to open the southwest gate to welcome the Qin army into the city.

But after the defender of the city was replaced by Chu Qing, Qin Wuzhou thought that if he wanted to win the siege battle, he should at least have 50 elite soldiers in his hands.

"What a big tone," Lu Xun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Soldiers are expensive, and tonight is a good time to make a surprise attack. I want to see if your little lover is as good as you said like that."

"Use your troops like a god."
