Chapter 557 Xing Chu

Changping Junfu.

"Are you two envoys from Chu State?"

In the pavilion with long bamboo shadows, Lord Changping looked at the two men in front of him, one strong and one young, and asked leisurely.

"We came from Chu State and brought a letter from Lord Yangling."

The young man bowed his hands and took out the letter from his sleeve. Mr. Changping took a few steps forward, took the letter, and opened it.

The content of the letter was very simple. It was just that Lord Yangling said hello to him, asked someone to bring some gifts, and hoped that he would take care of his clan members in Nanyang.

In fact, such letters are quite common. Since Lord Changping became the right prime minister, a large number of nobles in Chu State wanted to please him, even the King of Chu.

However, since Lord Changping was dismissed as prime minister, such flattery has become much less frequent.

Lord Changping looked at the letter, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the strong man's arm.

"Father!"

The people behind were shocked, but the strong man raised his other hand to stop his son.

Lord Changping looked at the person in front of him and shouted loudly.

"The Xiang family has contributed a lot to this, and you still dare to come in front of me now!"

"Young master, this is all a misunderstanding. My father is handsome to him..."

"Liang'er!"

Xiang Yan shouted, and when she looked at Lord Changping again, she saw that his face was full of smiles.

"It is indeed General Xiang!"

Changping Jun lied, Xiang Liang was not as calm as Xiang Yan after all, and his identity was exposed.

Lord Changping let go, Xiang Yan straightened her clothes, and bowed with Xiang Liang.

"See the eldest son!"

"No need to be polite!"

Lord Changping called the two of them to the pavilion and Xiang Yan asked.

"How did the young master find out about us?"

"The King of Ai was killed by Cu Chu, and the whole family of Li Yuan was killed. Chu State was in turmoil. Lord Yangling has always been cautious. How could he give a gift to me, a minister of Qin State, for a bastard in Nanyang at this time, without fear of provoking criticism? Not to mention the two of them. With a strong physique and even breath, he is not comparable to an ordinary servant. He is either a master of martial arts or a general in the army."

Xiang Yan was a little surprised. Lord Changping was born in Qin and grew up in Qin. He had never set foot in Chu, but he knew the character of Chu's important ministers well. For a time, Xiang Yan was more certain of what he was thinking.

"Young master, I admire you."

Xiang Yan said something, Xiang Liang asked behind him.

"But how do you know, Master, that we are members of the Xiang family?"

"I just guessed that there should be people coming from the Chu State, and it is very likely that they are people from the Xiang family."

Xiang Yan looked at Changping Jun and marveled in his heart that this young master of Chu who was born in Qin was so quick-thinking.

"Since the young master knows, I won't go into details."

With that said, Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang stood up and prostrated themselves again.

"The Kingdom of Chu is in danger, please help me. Otherwise, the great Chu State of eight hundred years will cease to exist."

Seeing the two of them like this, Lord Changping felt a little sad in his heart and raised his hand.

"You guys get up first!"

Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang looked at Lord Changping, but heard what he said.

"Li Yuan has been causing trouble to the country for a long time, and it's too late for you to take action. Now, the Qin army has seized the land of Yan and Zhao. Although Chu is a big country with "millions of armor, thousands of chariots, and ten thousand horses," it can't be compared with today's Compared with Qin State, it is no longer on the same level."

"Even so, we will fight to the last man and will not let the Qin people succeed!"

Xiang Yan said, his eyes seemed to be burning with bright flames.

Lord Changping shook his head.

"If we really fight hard, the Chu Kingdom will not be far away!"

"What do you mean, Master?"

"Yan and Zhao have been determined. The Qin army will fight again soon to capture Wei and destroy Chu. But Chu is a big country, and it will be difficult for the Qin army to seize it. It will definitely use all its elites."

Xiang Yan nodded. In fact, during Qin's war to destroy Zhao and seize Yan, they had a profound insight into the elites of the Qin army, and also realized that the Qin army would definitely attack Chu next.

At this time, Chu State may not be able to resist.

"After the King of Qin came to power, he cultivated direct descendants in the army. Generals such as Wang Jian, Li Xin, Meng Wu, and Wang Ben, as the Qin State destroyed Zhao and swallowed Yan, the number of elite troops under their command was approaching 200,000. If we could If all these 200,000 soldiers and horses are captured in one fell swoop, it will be a fatal crisis for Qin."

"this……"

Both Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang were a little puzzled by the profound meaning in Changping Jun's words.

"Zhao Shuang!"

In fact, Xiang Yan came because he felt danger. Part of the danger was that the Hanyang Lord built granaries in Yanzhao, built new boats and carts, and transferred grain and grass to the south.

"After the King of Qin came to power, he placed heavy emphasis on Legalists to manage prefectures and counties but suppressed enfeoffment. Although the Qin family is now stable, once the 200,000 elite direct soldiers and horses are wiped out, they will inevitably have ambitions they would not have in ordinary times. Zhao Shuang holds a heavy army, with the Shi clan at the head. Combined with the troops from Longxi, Beidi, Taiyuan, Hanzhong, Nanjun, Guanzhong and other places, the army of the Shi clan exceeds 200,000. Although these soldiers and horses are scattered everywhere, they are usually together. It’s inconspicuous, but at critical moments, it’s a huge force.”

Lord Changping's eyes were deep and his words were somewhat cold.

"At the time of the fall, there were only two choices before the King of Qin. If you use it, the monarch and his ministers will be suspicious; if you don't use it, the Guanzhong will be empty. Furthermore, Anxi suppressed the army to seize the Xiongnu's land and garrisoned the border for a long time. If it moves, the Xiongnu will inevitably go south again. Qin State The border disturbances, the great weakness in the country, internal and external troubles, are good opportunities for the Chu State."

Xiang Liang took a breath of air-conditioning. If it can really be realized, Chu State can be revitalized. There is even a chance to replace Qin.

"But it's not easy to do this."

How to deceive these 200,000 direct troops to the Chu region, and how to destroy them?

Behind these two big problems are complex small problems. There are so many clues that it’s hard to have a clue.

Xiang Yan looked at Lord Changping. He knew that to solve these two big problems, he would definitely need Lord Changping's help. Even, only he can do it.

Xiang Yan took a deep breath, made a decision, and saluted.

"The Xiang family is willing to obey the order of the young master and implement the great plan of rejuvenating Chu."

Xiang Liang saw it in his eyes, and he didn't understand why his father made such a decision after only meeting him once. In his opinion, this was too risky.

If this news reaches the ears of King Chu, what will he think, and what will happen to the Xiang family?

Xiang Yan knew that he was gambling, but why didn't Lord Changping do the same?

"It is naturally not easy to do this. Among the countries, we need the cooperation of the people of Han, Wei and Chu; above the rivers and lakes, there are also forces such as Nongjia and Yanmo. More importantly, we must get the help of a force."

"What did the young master say?"

"quicksand!"

Lord Changping spoke in a deep voice, with murderous intent in his words.

"Unite the hearts of all the countries and gather the strength of all the disciples and hundreds of schools of thought to weaken the state of Qin."

Lord Changping looked into the distance, but there was something he didn't say.

Even in the end, Qin still unified the world, but the seeds of unrest had been sown, and there was no way it could rule the world safely.
