I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 285 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

Whether to cut off Qing Feng's head or not has become a difficult problem now.

When the King of Chu originally brought up this issue, he probably never thought that he himself would encounter difficulties on this issue.

As Li Ran said.

cut it?Then he would lose a guide who is very familiar with Wu's domestic situation. When Chu State uses troops against Wu in the future, it may be inevitable to be hindered by Wu Jun's various tricks.

But don't cut it?How to convince others?And how to boost the morale of his teachers in Chu State?

After weighing the pros and cons, King Chu finally raised his head slowly, looked at Li Ran with a different look and said:
"The traitor Qing Feng, he deserves to die, so don't intercede for him anymore, Mister."

Yes, the King of Chu finally chose to cut off Qing Feng's head!

There was a slight indifference in his tone, and his face was also very stern. These words sounded undeniable to people.

And all the Chu ministers present were shocked, and hastily kowtowed to the king of Chu:

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Seeing this, Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak out to persuade him, but unexpectedly, the king of Chu waved his hand to stop him.

Only to hear the king of Chu explain lightly:

"Sir, what you said is not unreasonable, but how can a little Qingfeng compare to the morale of our [-] Chu army?"

"The country of Wu is so small that this king can destroy it with a flick of a finger, so why do you need to celebrate it?"

At this point, King Chu's attitude was very clear, and he finally stood on the side of his courtiers and Jidi.

It has to be said that his choice is really in line with the Chu people's consistent style.

Because he wanted to make contributions, and he wanted to lead the Chu Kingdom back to the dominance of King Zhuang of Chu, so he had to rely on these generals under him.

What's more, he moved the capital to Qianxi this time, in order to revive the country's prestige, and look at Soochow with the most vigorous momentum!Trample Soochow!And use this to further deter the Central Plains!
He completely disdained those things in Qing Feng's head.On the contrary, his head itself seemed more important to him.

All in all, in the eyes of King Chu, the morale of the Chu army is the most important thing now!
It's no wonder that when long-term concerns and near-term worries collide, especially when the future situation is still uncertain, most people will choose a more secure plan.

That is to choose to solve the immediate difficulties first.

Of course, there was actually another reason why King Chu flatly rejected Li Ran's suggestion this time.

For the first time, he had doubts about Li Ran's words.

In other words, he began to disbelieve Li Ran's words.

He suspected that the real intention of what Li Ran said just now might not be really for the sake of Chu State, but had other purposes.

Perhaps Qing Feng really knew something about the situation in Wu State.

But can this really play a key role in his upcoming battle against Wu?
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, not to mention that Qing Feng is now a prisoner, some of the information he knows may have changed.

So what if some of the information he knew hadn't changed at all?No matter how insane he is, King Chu, can he really trust Qing Feng's nonsense?
Therefore, there is actually an extremely serious logical loophole in Li Ran's words.And it was this loophole that made King Chu directly doubt him at this moment.

There must be other reasons why Li Ran emphasized Liu Qingfeng's life so much.

The king of Chu didn't know what the reason was, but he could feel that Li Ran's remonstrance was not sincere.

Li Ran looked at the resolute King Chu, and his mind went blank for a moment. He didn't expect that King Chu would reject his proposal at this time.

He wanted to say something more to continue to restore the decline, but he didn't know what else to say.

Afterwards, he could only watch helplessly as the King of Chu finally issued an order to enter Zhufang City and convene the swearing-in meeting.

As I said before, the purpose of King Chu's personal conquest this time is to make contributions in person. Although Zhongli was broken, he didn't get involved in it. This is not satisfying for him.

And the swearing-in meeting was held in order to take this opportunity to brush up his own sense of existence.

Li Ran didn't come forward to stop him, because he knew that it was useless to say anything now.

When Li Ran withdrew from the big tent, Sun Wu heard the news that King Chu was about to cut off Qingfeng's head, and immediately frowned and said:

"Sir, if the King of Chu insists on doing this, I'm afraid he wants to make Mr. unrighteous!"

Li Ran promised Qing Feng that he would save his life, but the "stubborn" King of Chu did not do what he wished.

"Hey, the king of Chu is confused!"

"Confused! Really confused!"

Li Ran was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, and the cup fell over with a crisp sound.

The indignation and annoyance on his face were visible to the naked eye, and the originally handsome face suddenly became very sad.

"Then how about we..."

Sun Wu glanced at the Zuojun camp, and his meaning was obvious - let Qing Feng go directly.

Unexpectedly, Li Ran shook his head helplessly and said:
"Don't say that Qing Feng escaped from Qianxi. If he really escaped, it would be tantamount to putting us to death."

"This king of Chu, the scar is really healed and the pain is forgotten!"

King Xiongwei of Chu, has he made fewer mistakes because of his eagerness for quick success?

Apparently not a lot.

However, the King of Chu did not take it as a warning. Instead, he was directly dazzled by the victories in front of him, and became more and more self-willed.

His attachment to the words "make contributions" in his heart seems to be in a state of madness.

How far can such a person go?What other achievements can there be?
Li Ran couldn't help feeling annoyed at his momentary "heartbeat".

He didn't expect that Xiongwei, king of Chu, who had changed his view of people, was still a person of shallow wisdom.

"Wu has another plan."

"Sir, do you still remember the trick we used when we were in Qufu? No? Find someone who is similar in size and appearance to him, and then..."

In order not to let Li Ran end up dishonest, Sun Wu thought of the method they used in the past.

But his proposal was still rejected by Li Ran.

"This is not a plan. Back then, the prince of the Lu Kingdom was able to confuse the real one with the appearance of his close guards, and his words and deeds were all influenced by him. However, this Qingfeng now looks like a northerner. Obviously, they are very different from the southerners, so how can they replace them?"

"Besides, back then, the prince of the Lu Kingdom was tolerant and benevolent, and everyone around him was willing to die for him. But now that Qing Feng is so evil, and his best friends are scattered around, how can he find someone to take his place?"

"Hey, whatever! It seems that we can't stop Qing Feng's death."

Li Ran had to admit that the Haikou he boasted before on the cover of Qing was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Things have developed to this point, and it is completely out of his control.

The resolute attitude of the King of Chu and the hatred of the Chu generals towards Qing Feng were enough to kill Qing Feng.

If he tricks secretly again, deliberately let Qing Feng escape.If the king of Chu knew about this matter, not only Qing Feng would surely die by then, but even his own situation would become precarious.

This made Li Ran inevitably feel a bit of frustration in his heart. He couldn't imagine that his three-inch tongue could not keep a useless person in the end.

And from the beginning to the end, he never thought of deceiving anyone.Even to the King of Chu, his words of advice are always sincere.

However, his sincerity only caused him a lot of trouble in the end.

"Hey... Companion to a king is like a tiger... Perhaps, this is the art of the emperor."

With a sigh, Li Ran felt extremely depressed for a moment.

Of course, when Sun Wu heard the "emperor" in Li Ran's mouth at this time, he certainly didn't know what it meant.After all, the "emperors" of their era generally only refer to the five emperors, which are synonymous with gods. (Example: Remembrance is here, only the emperor recites merit.)
At this time, Li Ran waved his hand slightly at Sun Wushi again, indicating that he wanted to be alone, and then sat alone in front of the table, watching the cicadas and birds flying outside the tent, with a troubled expression.

He was thinking, maybe, it's time to leave here.
