When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 429 Isn't something like the lower limit just for breaking through?

Xiong Han, king of Western Chu, may be slow in doing other things, but he was quick in surrendering, because this matter was related to his own life.

Therefore, when he decided to surrender, only five days later, an envoy from the Western Chu Kingdom from Suiyang appeared in Xianyang City.

Of course, the envoys of the Western Chu Kingdom can have such a fast speed, but also thanks to the Chidao built by the Qin State with countless manpower and material resources.

"So, are you going to surrender?" The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at this familiar but special person in front of her, and her thoughts were inexplicable for a while. After all, the state of Chu was going to pass away.

"It has to be like this. I also ask my sister to help me. I don't ask for wealth, but only for my life." Li Yan said sincerely with a wry smile.

"If you just want to save your own life, it's easy. Your Majesty can accommodate people from the families of the six kings," said the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"I know this, after all, there are precedents of the four kings' families." Li Yan maintained a humble smile.

"It's just that the question is whether the king will allow the Western Chu Kingdom to surrender." Empress Dowager Huayang said.

"Sister, is it the King of Qin?" Li Yan's face couldn't help but change.

In the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, she thought of Wei Wangzeng who was martyred in the past. It is said that Wei Wangzeng was ready to surrender when the Qin army broke through the beams. became martyred.

Could it be... Li Yan thought of Wei Wangzeng's lesson from the past, and her face turned pale.

"The Qin State is now waiting for the next day, waiting to attack the Chu State. For the soldiers and generals, attacking the Chu State is not just a war, but an opportunity for them to obtain military exploits and then obtain titles. I hope that the Western Chu Kingdom will surrender, and the decision of the King must take into account the thoughts of these soldiers." The Empress Dowager Huayang said.

"Don't you even have a chance to surrender?" Li Yan said tremblingly.

Of course she herself is not afraid of death, living to her age is enough, but she has to think about her son and grandchildren, they should live on.

"Don't worry, no matter how cruel the war is, it won't harm you and others." The Empress Dowager Huayang said.

"Moreover, the king may not agree to the surrender of the Western Chu Kingdom. After all, the thoughts of soldiers and generals are only one factor that the king needs to consider, and he also has his own considerations." Queen Mother Huayang said.

Will Ying Zheng agree to the surrender of Western Chu?

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at Xiong You, who was not a stranger in front of him, and said, "It's too late for your brother Wang to surrender now."

"My lord, it's not that brother Wang doesn't want to surrender to the king as soon as possible. It's because there are too many opponents in the country, so brother Wang has to do that." Xiong Youqiang explained bravely.

"There are no opponents now?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Of course there are now, but because of the battles with the Eastern Chu rebels these years, there are many, many fewer." Xiong You said.

"Surrender is fine, show your sincerity," Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty?" Xiong You asked puzzled.

We are all going to surrender and dedicate our country, isn't that considered sincerity?

"The only thing we need is a clean Suiyang City." Ying Zheng said.

"A clean Suiyang City?" Xiong You savored Ying Zheng's words, and felt as if he understood something.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely dedicate a clean Suiyang City to your Majesty." Xiong You replied.

A few days later, Xiong You returned to Suiyang City alone.

"What did the King of Qin say?" Xiong Han, king of Western Chu, asked his younger brother Xiong You, who was in the dust.

"Brother Wang, King Qin agreed to our request to surrender, but..." Xiong You really became hesitant when he said this.

"But what?" Xiong Han asked eagerly.

"King Qin said he wanted a clean Suiyang City." Xiong You said.

"A clean Suiyang City? What does King Qin mean?" Xiong Han asked puzzled.

Could it be that Suiyang City is not clean?Is it the city or the people that are unclean?For a while, many, many thoughts appeared in Xiong Han's mind.

"The King of Qin knows that there are many courtiers in Suiyang who are opposed to Brother Wang's surrender." Xiong You said hesitantly.

"It's people who are unclean?" Xiong Han suddenly asked, but soon, this suddenness turned into shock.

According to this statement, the unclean Suiyang City can only be cleaned with human blood.

human blood?Xiong Han, who had fully reacted, changed his face and turned pale.

"Brother Wang, the King of Qin wants you to cut yourself off from the state of Chu. If you do that, your reputation will be completely ruined." Xiong You said worriedly.

"Fame?" Xiong Han pondered, with a struggling look on his face.

That's right, if Gu really does that and cleans Suiyang City for the King of Qin, how will the people of Chu, and even the world, think of me?At that time, what kind of reputation will I leave in the history books?
In the face of Qin's army oppressing the country, one can find a reason to surrender alone due to the pressure of Qin. However, the nature of the matter is completely different if he takes the initiative to help Qin clean up Suiyang City and persecute the loyal people of Chu. changed.

Fame, life, fame, life.For a moment, these two words were the only ones left in Xiong Han's mind.

"Brother Wang, we have to refuse..." Xiong You said tentatively.

"Reject? Who said that I would refuse?" Xiong Han interrupted Xiong You.

"Brother Wang?" Xiong You looked at Brother Wang who suddenly became calm, but couldn't react for a while.

"Gu is about to surrender, and what do you want to do with such things as reputation? Is surrender a good reputation?" Xiong Han pondered, as if he was explaining to Xiong You, but also as if he was talking to himself.

"Is it necessary for those who surrender to consider reputation? If Gu still considers reputation, what will King Qin think?" Xiong Han asked like Xiong You.

Xiong You thought about it, and was about to answer, but Xiong Han didn't give him a chance, but continued: "For Gu, fame and life are inseparable. The better the Gu's reputation, the smaller the chance of life." , On the contrary, the worse Gu's reputation is, the smaller the threat to Qin will be, so the chance of my life will be greater."

"And as long as Gu cleans Suiyang City, how will the people of Chu view Gu? They will disdain and despise Gu. May I ask, what threat does such a king of Chu pose to King Qin? Why can't such a miserable Will the king of Chu survive?"

As Xiong Han spoke, the calmness on his face had turned into madness.

A person's upper limit is difficult to break through for various reasons, but things like the lower limit are exceptions.

Once the thing called the lower limit is broken, it will become an uncontrollable thing, and it will be broken continuously, just like the current Xionghan.
