Outside Wancheng, the Chu Army Camp Campground.

In the schoolyard, thousands of troops gathered together, flags fluttering.

Qu Yuan stood on the high platform of the school grounds, wearing armor and swords, and his whole body looked majestic.

Around Qu Yuan, many generals of Chu stood with different expressions on their faces.

A general of Chu was tied up and knelt in front of Qu Yuan. His face was ferocious and a little fearful, and he shouted at Qu Yuan: "Qu Yuan, are you crazy? I am the general of the Great Chu. How can you kill the general in front of the formation for no reason!"

Qu Yuan looked at the Chu general in front of him with a calm expression and said, "Zhaojin, you deliberately preserve your strength when you attack the city. The name of siege is actually just pretending to behave and disobey the general's orders. If you don't kill you, how can you obtain the regular military discipline!"

Zhao Jin said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? When our troops attacked the city, everyone was experiencing blood! Do you really think that you can convince the soldiers of the three armies like this?"

Qu Yuan raised his head, looked around the general in front of him, and said, "Since Zhao Jin said he wanted the three armies to be convinced, then I will ask here, is anyone who wants to plead for him?"

After a brief silence, someone finally said, "Grand Sima, although Zhao Jin is quite popular, he has always been loyal to Da Chu. I think he should not deliberately preserve his strength when siege the city."

Several generals spoke one after another, with similar meanings, all of which were pleading for Zhaojin.

Zhao Jin raised his head proudly and said to Qu Yuan: "Sima, have you heard it? Don't think that you are the master and can do whatever you want, and turn black and white!"

Qu Yuan did not pay attention to Zhao Jin, but waited for a while to see if anyone else continued to speak.

There were about twenty generals present, and seven of them spoke up for Zhaojin, which was obviously in line with the power of the Zhao clan in the Chu State.

As for the other generals, three were from Qu, four were from Jing, and the remaining six belonged to the Duke of Chu. These people were either from Qu Yuan's side or were just unrelated to him, and no one asked Zhao Jin for mercy.

Qu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Come here, I will pass on the great witch!"

A moment later, a man dressed in witch's costume and had white hair on his temples quickly walked up to the platform and saluted Qu Yuan.

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Chu was undoubtedly the country with the most prosperous witchcraft style. The King of Chu also called himself the Witch King and was the leader of all the Witch Zhu in Chu.

Therefore, the Chu State valued these feudal superstitious things the most. Even the doctors in the army were all appointed by witches, which is the so-called "witch doctors".

At this moment, the great witch in front of Qu Yuan was the supreme leader of all the witch doctors in the Chu State's army this time. In later generations, he probably was the director of the field hospital.

Qu Yuan said: "Great Witch, let me ask you, after Zhao entered the siege of the city yesterday, you were responsible for the treatment and burial of all the injured and dead?" (Note 1)

The great witch hurriedly said: "Go back to the Grand Sima, that's true."

Qu Yuan said again: "Then let me ask you again, how many dead people were admitted and buried from Zhaojin's troops yesterday? "

The great witch said: "The number of dead is about one hundred and sixty, and the number of injured is about three hundred."

Qu Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, you can retreat."

After the great witch retreated, Qu Yuan's eyes moved back to Zhao Jin and sneered: "Zhao Jin, yesterday I ordered your troops to attack the city all day long. You kept saying that your entire army was pressing for all your strength. So now I will ask you, the more than 300 dead, the casualties of more than 300 injured are only 500. Is this the number of casualties that you should have after you have tried your best?"

Zhao Jin's face changed drastically when he heard this. Qiqi Ai Ai was speechless for a long time.

Qu Yuan snorted heavily and said in a deep voice: "Why are you still standing there? Beheaded!"

Zhao Jin was shocked and immediately struggled hard, and shouted while struggling: "Qu Yuan, you can't kill me. I am a member of the Zhao clan. Zhao Qi and I are cousins. If you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!"

Qu Yuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly pulled out his long sword from his waist.

A sword light flashed, and Zhao Jin's head slammed onto the ground with a bang, rolling for several rounds before stopping.

Holding a blood-stained sword, Qu Yuan turned around, looked at the silent general of Chu in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"Why hasn't been broken yet? The king knows why Wancheng has not been broken. I know what the general knows. I think everyone present knows it."

"To be honest, when I set out from Yingdu, I had already issued a military order in front of the king, saying that I would definitely be able to take Fangcheng and Yingdu within this year. If I can't do it, then I will apologize!"

A small commotion occurred among the generals, but it immediately calmed down.

Qu Yuan's eyes flashed across the faces of a famous general and said coldly: "It's summer now, which means that I have about five months to do this. But now, Wancheng is still here, and I haven't taken the first step yet."

"Wancheng has been fighting for four months, and this city has been broken long ago, but it has been delayed because you and others cherish their feathers."

"From now on, no matter what kind of Zhao clan, the Qu clan or the Duke clan you are, if anyone who continues to attack the city like Zhao Jin in order to preserve his strength, I will continue to send him underground to go on the road with Zhao Jin."

"You can think of taking revenge on this general after the war, telling Zhaoju, Jingcui, Xiong Zilan and others, and letting them think of ways to suppress this general in the court, and even let this general never turn over. But before that, before this war is over, I want you to die, and no one can save you!"

"Did you understand all of them?"

After a brief calm, the generals responded.

With a chorus, Qu Yuan took the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

"Now each of them will return to their camps to reorganize their troops, and they will start to attack the city in an hour!"

Capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.

King Han sat in the palace and quietly looked at an old temple man in front of him.

"Boyuan's relatives have already been monitored?"

"Yes, king."

"I've figured out who will expose Bao Yuan then?"

"Please rest assured, the prince has found several of Bao Yuan's nephews, all of whom are playboys. They rely on Bao Yuan's name to fight cocks and dogs in Xinzheng all day long. As long as they are arrested and tortured, they will definitely be willing to do anything."

King Han nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good, just keep going like this. Remember, don't leak the news."

The old temple responded and quickly retreated.

King Han breathed a sigh of relief and said to the several confidant ministers in front of him: "What do you think of my plan?"

Several confidant ministers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Master, it is natural to be easy for a mere Bao Yuan to take him down, but the King has to consider Zhao State behind Bao Yuan."

Someone said, "King, although Bao Yuan stood on the side of Zhao without reporting in the battle of Lianggou, judging by many statements afterwards, Bao Yuan did not have many choices at that time. If Bao Yuan didn't do that, it would be very likely that Dahan would become the loser of the Battle of Lianggou with Qin. I think Bao Yuan should still be loyal to the king, and it is better for the king to understand his feelings and reason, and he should be able to influence him anyway."

When the King of Han heard this, a trace of anger flashed across his face and sneered: "It's simply nonsense! This military and national affairs are something that I can decide. What qualifications does Bao Yuan have to decide for me whether Da Han should be with Zhao or Qin! You don't have to say anything more. This time I will get rid of Bao Yuan no matter what! As for Zhao... Humph, after this battle, Zhao's power will really be great to annex the world. Don't worry, Qin, Chu, Wei and other countries will definitely not sit idly by and watch Zhao continue to be as powerful as Zhao, and there will definitely be some actions. I will just follow these three countries to fight against Zhao, so I don't need to take into account the face of King Zhao!"

Daliang City.

A meeting just ended, and the King of Wei and the Prime Minister of Wei, Bang Tian Wen, had a big quarrel, and the two parted in disagreement.

The King of Wei sat on the throne with anger, pointed to the palace gate, which was the direction Tian Wen had just left and said to the several confidant ministers in front of him: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! Tell me, Tian Wen is obviously my minister, but he is against me everywhere. Did he take me seriously, the king?"

Several Wei ministers looked at each other, and after a while, someone said, "Don't worry, when General Mangmao takes Hedong back, I believe Tian Wen will not be so arrogant anymore. At that time, the king wants to deal with him. Isn't it just a matter of one word? Please be careful not to be impatient."

The King of Wei breathed a long sigh and said after a long time: "Don't be impatient? Humph, I have been tolerating him for several years! If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Tian Wen enter my Great Wei as prime minister. It's really...ah, I regret it!"

The King of Wei sighed, with a deep helplessness.

On the other hand, the prime minister of Wei State, Xue Gong Tian Wen, returned to his mansion, summoned many trusted subordinates and retainers, and secretly started a discussion.

Tian Wen stared at her beard and glared with an unhappy expression on her face: "The king has been increasingly unable to accommodate this marquis recently. All the proposals made by this marquis in the hall today have been rejected by him... Hey!"

Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, someone said, "Isn't Young Master Wuji cured? Why does the king still do such a thing? It's really puzzling."

Tian Wen became even more angry when he heard this and sneered: "What's wrong with it? He just felt that this marquis is becoming more and more powerful now. Do you want to kill the donkey like the King of Qi? Humph, he didn't think about what he was. Then don't follow the footsteps of the fields!"

A retainer said, "Since the king is so intolerant, it is better for the king to return to Xueyi directly. On the one hand, it can also prevent the king from taking action suddenly. On the other hand, if the king makes any moves after returning to Xueyi, at worst, we can call ourselves Xue State and separate from Wei State to set up another door."

As soon as this sentence was said, it immediately gained recognition from many people.

Since King Wei and Tian Wen began to show signs of falling out, the lives of these subordinates in the officialdom immediately became difficult. Many people thought it would be better to just part ways. Anyway, we also followed the king from Qi to Wei, and we didn't owe you anything to King Wei.

Tian Wen was slightly moved, but after pondering for a while, he still rejected: "No, I can't return to Xueyi at this time."

Speaking of this, a hint of resentment flashed across Tian Wen's face and said, "Actually, if the King of Zhao is willing to support this marquis, it would be a good idea to return to Xueyi. Now the King of Zhao has abandoned this marquis and left. If the Lord of Zhao returns to Xueyi at this time, although there are 10,000 or 20,000 troops in Xueyi, it is not enough to protect himself in front of the military front of Wei. This marquis must stay in Daliang!"

Some retainers said with great concern: "But if the king suddenly attacks..."

Tian Wen smiled coldly, a violent expression flashed across his face, and said coldly: "What he wants is his sudden attack! Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. If the king really wants to take action one day, I will raise an army to kill him in this Daliang City and establish a new king! By that time, the entire Wei Kingdom will be in the hands of this Marquis, which is a thousand times stronger than returning to Xueyi to die!"

The room became quiet for a moment, but after a moment, a light appeared on everyone's faces.

"What the Lord said is very true!"

"Yes, you should do this, kill the King of Wei and establish a new king!"

These people are loyal to Tian Wen, so even if they are serious crimes in the regicide, they still have no psychological burden.

After all, in their hearts, their lord was Xue Gongtian Wen in front of him, not the King of Wei who was sitting in the palace of Daliang City.

For a moment, everyone spoke enthusiastically, and it was already beginning to discuss how to do such a regicide thing in detail.

This discussion took more than an hour, and it was not until the sky outside was completely dark that the meeting finally came to an end.

Tian Wen said in a deep voice: "It's great. After you go back, you will prepare according to the matters discussed just now. Ordnance is the top priority and you must not leak news. Those who can fight for it should try their best to fight for it. At the worst, they should be neutral in the choice of this marquis' uprising. Do you understand?"

Everyone agreed and then dispersed and returned home.

Tian Wen looked at the backs of many of his confidants leaving, his small eyes squinted slightly, and his lips slightly gave him a cold smile.

"Hmph, this time, no matter what King Wei or King Zhao you are, I will never be that stray dog ​​anymore!"

Just as Tian Wen said this, a carriage had just stopped in the side door of a Wei official's mansion in the southwest corner of Daliang City.
