??Chu State, Xiangyang.
Today¡¯s Chu State has just recovered from last year¡¯s heavy losses. Last year, the great master of Chu State, Xiong Yuanxiang, and the prince Xiong Tai were killed, which led to instability in the Chu State and many local disturbances.
To this end, Xiong Huai continuously adjusted the officials in the DPRK to suppress the situation in the court, appointed a prince to suppress the situation, and then mobilized troops to quell the unrest of the Wuxi Barbarians and other barbarian tribes in the south. It took more than half a year to stabilize the domestic situation.
Today¡¯s Chu State has been actively preparing for war.
Because Xiong Huai couldn¡¯t let go of his hatred.
He intends to take revenge.
??Xiong Huai himself is already quite old and his body is not in good shape. He had been working hard all his life to govern, but even so, the Chu State was still restricted to the southwest, always in a corner, unable to go north to the Central Plains.
As he approaches old age, he is unwilling to die like this. In particular, the great Zhou Dynasty has gone from prosperity to civil strife, and now it is falling apart. This is an opportunity given by God, and Xiong Huai is not willing to miss it.
Xiong Huai wanted to go north to get a piece of the pie and tear off a piece of meat from Da Zhou.
On this day, when Xiong Huai was handling government affairs, it was Qu Ping who entered. After Qu Ping stood still, he saluted Xiong Huai. He saw the big bags under Xiong Huai's eyes and noticed that Xiong Huai was getting older and said, "Your Majesty, you still have to pay attention to your health. You can't ignore your own body. "
Xiong Huai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I can hold on. I won't die until I destroy Da Zhou and kill Wang Qi. I will never give up until my wish in this life is fulfilled."
Qu Ping sighed in his heart and said: "Your Majesty's wish will definitely be fulfilled. The Kingdom of Chu will reach its most prosperous peak in your Majesty's hands."
There was a hint of hope in Xiong Huai's eyes. He soon regained his composure and asked, "What's the matter with the Prime Minister?"
Qu Ping said: "It's news about Wang Qi."
Xiong Huai said: "What news?"
Qu Ping said: "The first news is that at the end of last year, Wang Qi led his people north to Yuyang County, killed Tuoba Longcheng, the great master of the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and even led his troops into Xianbei territory. , slaughtered all Xianbei tribes, and killed Xianbei to the ground. Even the royal court of Xianbei, Danhanshan, was killed and blood flowed like a river. In the end, Xianbei had to take the initiative to make peace."
Xiong Huai clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Wang Qi is getting more and more vicious. His current strength is really great."
Qu Ping said: "What your Majesty said is true. Wang Qi's martial arts strength has few rivals in the world."
Xiong Huai said: "What other news?"
Qu Ping continued: "The second news is that Wang Qi returned to Qingzhou at the beginning of the year, and then went directly south to Guangling County, sent troops south, and entered the territory of Chen State like lightning. Yuan Wei, the leader of Chen State, led his troops to attack, but it was in Wuxi County He was defeated and captured alive. By now, the Chen State had been destroyed, and Yuan Wei was also beheaded by his prime minister Jiang Ning, who is now Yangzhou Mu. Wang Qi captured Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, greatly increasing his strength."
Xiong Huai felt angry after hearing this. He punched the desk and gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"
Qu Ping said: "There are rolling mountains in the south of our Chu country, and the territory is extremely vast. But after Wang Qi captured Yangzhou, his strength has become stronger. When it comes to strength, Wang Qi has surpassed us in all aspects except for his background, which is slightly worse than ours. .The next step is to take revenge, which will become increasingly difficult.¡±
Xiong Huan's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, we must take revenge. Prime Minister, our country of Chu and our country of Qi are sworn in. We will not give up until Wang Qi is killed."
Qu Ping said: "I understand!"
Xiong Huai said: "Under the current situation, Wang Qi is becoming more and more domineering. What do you think, Prime Minister, how to break the situation?"
Qu Ping said slowly: "I have also considered this matter. Wang Qi's Qi State is becoming more and more powerful. Who is the first to worry? In other words, who is the first to be afraid? It must be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and all parts of the Central Plains. power."
"I believe that there is a high possibility that someone will deal with Wang Qi in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, we are just waiting for someone to stand up and fight Wang Qi and involve Wang Qi's power. Then we will consider taking advantage of the situation and kill him directly. Enter Lujiang County, capture Lujiang first, take revenge, and then seize Yangzhou along the way."
Qu Ping said: "Wang Qi's rear is Yangzhou, and if we capture Yangzhou, he will lose his retreat."
Xiong Huai said: "The Prime Minister's intention is to wait and see what happens."
"yes!"
Qu Ping nodded in reply.
Xiong Huai thought for a while, sighed in his heart, nodded and said: "I agree with the Prime Minister's suggestion. You can arrange it closely."People are paying attention to the situation in Qingzhou. If someone wants to deal with Wang Qi, be the first to tell me. We, the Chu State, responded immediately. "
Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will arrange everything."
Xiong Huai waved his hand, Qu Ping turned around and left.
¡¡
Chang'an, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Nowadays, the power controlled by the Zhou royal family in Chang'an has further shrunk. Only the Sili area, as well as parts of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, have been greatly weakened. Even the two states of Yuzhou and Yanzhou are respected on the surface, but in fact they govern their own affairs.
The influence of the royal family is not as good as before.
It is even impossible to give orders to the local government.
This is what the new emperor Zhao Qian is most dissatisfied with. Although he is young, he has his own ideas, ambitions and fighting spirit. He wants to develop Da Zhou and further enhance Da Zhou's strength.
Zhao Qian hopes to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty and restore the glory of his ancestors, instead of watching Dazhou decline step by step.
In the palace, in the main hall.
Zhao Qian is handling government affairs. Speaking of which, he has been on the throne for two or three years. However, in his hands, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not make much progress. People all over the world proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, causing Zhao Qianjun not to be a king and not worthy of his name.
When Zhao Qian was handling government affairs, Guan Dian came in. He is still the general manager of the palace and is highly respected by Zhao Qian.
Guan Dian saluted and said: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qiandao: "What's the matter?"
Guan Dian said: "Captain Linghu asks to see you."
"Xuan!"
Zhao Qian gave an order.
Zhao Qian relies heavily on Linghu Qianli. Not only was Linghu Qianli strong, but also because Linghu Qianli was the one who supported him in his rise to power and was his confidant.
Not long after, Linghu Qianli hurriedly stepped in. He bowed respectfully to Zhao Qian and said, "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qiandao: "What's the matter with the Governor?"
Linghu Qianli said: "I just received the news that Wang Qi annihilated the rebel Yuan Wei in Yangzhou. Now the entire Yangzhou is under the rule of Qi State, and Yuan Wei has also been killed. Wang Qi's Qi State has further strengthened its strength. "
Zhao Qian frowned and said: "The news sent back by the Governor was that Wang Qi rushed north to aid Wang Zongxi, killed a Xianbei man and even forced the Xianbei people to negotiate a peace. Now Wang Qi has killed Yuan Wei again, This speed is too fast. Fighting from south to north, Wang Qi is so powerful."
Linghu Qianli said: "This is Wang Qi's strength."
Zhao Qiandao: "Grand Governor, what do you think of Wang Qi's murder of Yuan Wei?"
Linghu Qianli said: "When it comes to analyzing situations and strategies, I am not good at it. It is best to ask Mr. Li of Shangshu Ling to analyze this matter."
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Whoever comes, please inform the minister to come."
"yes!"
The eunuch received the order and immediately went to inform him.
Not long after, Shangshu ordered Li Hongzhong to enter. Although he was old, he had always been in the court. Because Li Fei had beaten Li Hongzhong, and although Li Fei was behind the scenes, she was also involved in politics. Li Hongzhong had submitted his resignation several times before and was preparing to resign from the post of Shangshu Ling.
Both Zhao Qian and Li Fei disagreed, so Li Hongzhong could only serve in the court.
Li Hongzhong stood still and said: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qian nodded and said calmly: "Shang Shuling, Heilongtai has just received news that King Qi has destroyed Yangzhou Yuan Wei. What does Shangshu Ling think of this matter?"
Li Hongzhong¡¯s gray brows furrowed, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Wang Qi has actually killed Yuan Wei.
This speed is too fast, and Wang Qi's use of troops can be described as thunderous means. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
