Yingdu.

If compared with the capital decades ago, the city has not recovered its vitality, but King Yuan of Chu has been impatient to move the capital of Chu from Xicheng here this spring.

Why did we move the capital here? Everyone knew very well that it was because King Yuan of Chu had already developed fear in succession of failures. He was worried that Wei would continue to attack Xicheng near Wei in the future, so he moved the capital immediately after obtaining the consent of two ministers, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie and Shangzhu Jingyang.

Since the Qin State conquered this place and established Nanjun here, this Yingdu was the capital of Nanjun of Qin State.

But the capital was obviously far from comparable to the capital of a country. Moreover, when the Qin army captured this place, all the rare treasures in the Yingdu Palace were plundered and recaptured back to Xianyang by the Qin people. By the time the Chu people took it back decades later, the Yingdu Palace City was basically ruined and not decent.

Fortunately, after years of renovation, the current palace city Chu King Yuan is actually quite satisfied. As long as he can stay away from the damn battlefield and stay away from the threats from the Koreans and Wei people, that would be enough.

But even if the capital is moved, there are still many troubles.

King Yuan of Chu recently had a very upset thing, that is, whether the Chu State should send troops immediately during this war.

The two important officials of Chu State, Huang Xie, the two important officials of Chunshen, and Jingyang, the Shangzhu State, broke out in front of King Yuan of Chu.

Huang Xie's voice was very high, so that the entire hall could hear clearly: "We must send troops to support Zhao State immediately! Otherwise, once Zhao State is defeated, Han and Wei will definitely join forces to go south. By then, the day when our Great Chu State destroys the country will be near..."

As soon as Huang Xie said these words, all the Chu kings and ministers in the hall were immediately moved.

No one present could be indifferent to the word "Destroy the Country".

King Yuan of Chu swallowed with some difficulty and tried to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Chunshenjun, things are not so bad yet, right?"

Huang Xie shook his head and said to King Yuan of Chu in front of him: "The king doesn't know that things in the world are worse than what I said! From now on, Lian Po has been defeated by the people of Qi. If Pang Qi is not as good as the Wei army, then Zhao will definitely be defeated. Without Zhao's support, I dare to ask the king, how should he deal with the offensive of the Han and Wei coalition forces?"

Huang Xie looked really anxious, even his own king, King Chu Yuan, had to contradict him.

This is not a reason why Huang Xie did not abide by the law of the ruler and the ministers. In fact, it has been almost two months since the war between Zhao and Wei. During these two months, Huang Xie has been trying his best to send troops to help Zhao immediately, and stabbed Han and Wei from behind.

In Huang Xie's view, only in this way can we help Zhao State to the greatest extent, allowing Zhao State to relieve the pressure on the front battlefield and obtain the hope of victory.

Chu and Zhao are now people on the same boat.

But so many days have passed, and King Yuan of Chu has not agreed to Huang Xie's request.

Why? Because King Yuan of Chu was scared by the failures in recent years, he was no longer the King of Chu who was full of ambitions during the Battle of Changping, but instead became an ostrich king who only hoped to be his king behind closed doors.

As the days passed day by day, the situation on the entire battlefield became more and more confusing, Huang Xie was anxious and angry, and finally the scene of contradicting King Yuan of Chu was the first to speak.

As soon as Huang Xie said this, King Yuanding of Chu blushed and could not speak for a long time, making the other ministers of Chu look at him...

But when Huang Xie said this, someone was unhappy. He only heard Jingyang, the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu, who was standing beside him, and said, "Mr. Chunshen, you always say that you want to send troops. It is simple to touch your mouth. But I also want to ask, where did the troops and armor of this army come from? Where did the food and grass come from? If these problems are not solved, how do you ask us to send troops?"

It is obvious that Jingyang is the faction that opposes the sending of troops.

If it weren't for the support of the three major families led by Jingyang, then King Yuan of Chu would not have been able to withstand Huang Xie's pressure for the past two months and insisted on not sending troops.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Xie is very unaware of Jingyang. It can be said that the old grudges between the two sides have not yet left, and they both wish they could step on the ground and never turn over.

Huang Xie sneered and said to Jing Yang in front of him: "Shangzhu Kingdom, as a general in charge of the army, you dare not win the victory for the king when you encounter something. Instead, you are dragging me back here, which is a strange story in the world. Without soldiers and armor, we should try our best to get it together. If we don't have food and grass, we can eat the enemy after we attack the territory of Wei. Do you have any other problems?"

Jing Yang's old face turned red when Huang Xie said it, but his reaction was also very fast. He immediately spoke again: "Okay, even if you can solve these problems, then I still want to ask where your soldiers come from?"

Huang Xie snorted heavily and said to Jing Yang in front of him: "The soldiers are naturally going to be recruited from all over the country!"

"Recruitment?" Jing Yang also sneered and said to Huang Xie: "Mr. Chunshen, you don't think about it. How many places can you recruit soldiers in Da Chu now?"

Jingyang is telling the truth. Today's Chu State can be said to be war-torn, and the loss of Jiujiang County has caused the connection with the eastern land to be completely cut off. The resources and population that can be mobilized are smaller than those of the peak period.

Nowadays, the Chu State cannot even get a unit of 100,000 people.

Huang Xie glared at Jingyang fiercely and said to Jingyang: "Of course there are methods, but I don't know if Shangzhuguo dares to listen!"

When Jingyang heard this, he naturally could not show weakness and said directly: "Why don't you dare? Even if you come!"

Huang Xie nodded, and a cunning light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Shangzhu Kingdom, if I remember correctly, the Rujing clan alone has more than 3,000 disciples. In addition, the Jing clan has many fiefs, and at least 50,000 people and slaves must be at least 50,000. It must be not difficult to draw 10,000 or 20,000 out of these 50,000 people to join the army, right?"

Jing Yang didn't expect that Huang Xie was talking about this. He blushed and said angrily to Huang Xie: "Those are the property of the Jing clan, and it is not just me who can decide!"

"Is that true?" Huang Xie sneered contemptuously and said to Jingyang: "Aren't you the current leader of the Jing clan? In this way, the leader of the clan is just a decoration? Now that the country is in trouble, the Jing clan, as a public clan, has no courage to send troops to rescue Chu State in danger?"

Huang Xie's series of bombs were thrown out, leaving Jing Yang's face blank. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and said to Huang Xie: "Mr. Chunshen, don't just talk about the Jing clan! Your fiefdom is twelve counties, which is larger than all the fiefs of the Jing clan combined! Why don't you mention that you are sending troops?"

Huang Xie smiled contemptuously and looked at Jingyang with an idiot-looking look: "Have you forgotten that my fiefdoms are all in Jiujiang and Kuaiji County! As long as my motherland can send people to contact Jiujiang County or Kuaiji County, then even if I recruit everyone in the fief into the army, what's the harm?"

Jingyang was speechless.

Huang Xie no longer cared about Jingyang, but turned his head to bow to King Yuan of Chu, who was heading upward, and said earnestly: "King, I can understand the king's previous hesitation. But what I want to tell the king is that the time is right in front of me. If the king does not send troops, then I may never have the chance to take back Jiujiang County and other lands lost to Han and Wei."

King Yuan of Chu was a little hesitant, but when he heard Huang Xie say that he had the opportunity to take back the lost land, he was excited and asked Huang Xie quickly: "What is Chunshen Jun's intention?"

Huang Xie said seriously: "Now that the Zhao army defeated the Koreans in Shangdang County, it proved that the Koreans were not enough to compete with Zhao. Moreover, according to the intelligence of the spies, the front line of Wei is now in danger and may be broken by Zhao's army at any time. In this case, the victory of Zhao this time is already a foregone conclusion. If the king wants Zhao to order the Han and Wei to return the lost territory of the Great Chu after the war, he must join the battle at this time."

Jing Yang said, "You were just saying that Zhao State is in danger!"

Huang Xie snorted and said, "That was under the premise that the Great Chu did not participate in the war! And even if the Great Chu did not send troops, the State of Zhao would not be defeated!"

Huang Xie's words were obviously exaggerated, but King Yuan of Chu had indeed listened to them.

If Chu takes action now, it would be a timely help, but if you wait a little longer, when the victory of Zhao is determined, Chu takes action again will only be the icing on the cake.

The love of helping in time is undoubtedly very heavy, but it is icing on the cake, that is, it is unnecessary.

Having said that, King Yuan of Chu was still hesitant and said to Huang Xie: "Mr. Chunshen, you should also understand that the current Great Chu cannot withstand any defeat."

Looking at the Chu King Yuan who looked like a frightened bird in front of him, Huang Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still cheered up and said to the Chu King Yuan: "King, it is precisely because of this that we must put it to death and live!"

Looking at Huang Xie, who spoke earnestly, the shaken heart of King Yuan of Chu became even more intense.

After a long time, King Yuan of Chu suddenly turned his gaze to Jing Yang, who was on the side, and said in a deep voice to Jing Yang: "Shangzhu Kingdom, if I need to send troops, I wonder if Shangzhu Kingdom can recruit warriors to help?"

Everyone present understood very well that the so-called warriors were actually the disciples, slaves and people of the Jing clan that Huang Xie just mentioned.

Although Jing Yang wanted to refuse, he was now forced to the corner of the wall by Huang Xie. If he said something no, he would definitely not know that the big hat who played for the country would be immediately snatched by Huang Xie.

So Jingyang made up his mind and said to King Yuan of Chu in front of him: "If the king wants to send troops, then I am willing to recruit all the forces that can be recruited to help the king, and be sure to have the power of the king!"

Just after Jingyang finished speaking, the heads of the other two major families next to him also spoke, saying that the Zhao family and the Qu family also wanted to serve the country, but there was obviously awkwardness in these words.

King Yuan of Chu didn't care about that much, and his eyes were filled with a few radiances of spirit, and he said to the ministers in front of him: "Since that's the case, then let Chunshen Jun be the main general and Shangzhu Kingdom as the deputy general, and summon all forces to attack Wei!"
