Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 195
Chu State, Xinying.

In the past, Baiqi flooded the land of Yan. Thousands of Chu soldiers, common people, and slaves lay dead. They died in the First World War in Hanyang.

The King of Qin swung his sword, the six kingdoms were wiped out, the blood of the Marquis Luo was exhausted, the King of Qi died, the four kings were captured, and the tigers watched the world.

Now it's Chu's turn.

Chu Wangcheng asked all the ministers in the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Your nobles, who has the confidence to stop the advance of the Qin people?"

In the Palace of the King of Chu, these ministers who were famous and wealthy all looked at me and you one after another, without saying a word.

If they are fighting for power and profit and playing tricks, these people are all good players, but if they are really asked to govern the country and lead troops to fight, then forget it.

But you can't sit still and surrender directly like those shameless nobles in Qi Kingdom?

Now this group of ministers of the Chu State in Xinying City, no matter what faction they belong to, all have a deep hatred for the Qin State.

Which family did not have an elder who died in the catastrophe of the past, who would dare to mention the word surrender?
Seeing that no one was speaking, Chu Wangcheng could only look at the one person in the hall who had been silent with his eyes closed.

General of Chu State, Xiang Yan!

Born in the Xiang family of the Chu State, he is a nobleman of the Chu State who has been a minister of the world.

Moreover, he is the only noble among the great nobles of the Chu state who has war experience, and the rest have never even been on the battlefield.

Chu Wangcheng asked hesitantly: "Xiang Qing, are you willing to lead your troops to fight against the Qin army?"

Xiang Yan's eyes, which had been closed all the time, opened slightly, and a sharp edge flashed past.

Before he could speak, several voices suddenly sounded in the hall.

"No!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Starting from Ling Yin, several big nobles were against Xiang Yan's fight.

With a sneer on the corner of Xiang Yan's mouth, he knew it must be the end.

How could this group of great nobles of the Chu State dare to let themselves command the army of the Chu State?
The last time the Xiang family led the Chu army was during the time of Luo Wugong.

As a result, he went straight back to the royal capital, controlled the king of Chu and a group of great nobles, and successfully seized power.

With the lessons learned from the past, no matter how stupid this group of nobles is, they know that they cannot let the Xiang family lead the army.

A man cannot be without power for a day!
No matter how great the threat posed by the Qin army is, it is still far away, but the threat of the Xiang family is right in front of us.

Chu State's failure was tragic, but Xiang's success was even more unacceptable.

Which is more important, the great nobles of Chu State are very clear.

Perhaps under the threat of death, the always cowardly king of Chu had a little courage today.

He forced himself to ask in a loud voice: "My dear gentlemen.

Is the state of Chu's 1000-year-old society about to perish under the iron hooves of Qin?
You nobles have a large area of ​​land in Chu, countless servants, and the hereditary position of Shangqing.

The houses on the sealed soil stretch for several miles, more splendid than the palace of the widow.

It is all because of the existence of Chu State that you are rich and honored.

Now you nobles are unwilling to resist Qin.

When the Qin people conquered the state of Chu, we will all be captured by the Qin people.

It is very lucky to be able to survive by then.

The widow is the king of Chu, perhaps with the afterglow of his ancestors, like the four kings of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan, he got a city as a food city.

Do you nobles still want to keep your wealth? "

What the king of Chu said was sincere and very correct.

But if the nobles of the Six Nations could make the right decision, they wouldn't be reduced to Qin's prisoner so quickly.

From kings to nobles in the Six Kingdoms, it is because of greed and short-sightedness.

One stupid decision after another was made, which was beyond comprehension.

In the end, the whole country was sent to a dead end.

After thinking about it, these nobles believed that it was certain to resist the Qin army's attack, but they could not hand over the army to Xiang Yan's command.

Chu State Commander Yin saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to resist the Qin army, it is really that the Xiang family once threatened the king, what a crime of treason.

It is already the king's grace to be able to stay in the state of Chu and take up the position of Shangqing.

How can he be allowed to command the army again?

The minister is willing to lead the Chu army to go out, and must let the Qin army come and go! "

Chu Wangcheng's expression was very strange, he really wanted to ask if Ling Yin was serious?

A person who has never even been in the army in his life has to face Wang Jian, a famous general in the world. Isn't this a deliberate gift?

The key is that others are giving other people's heads, and this bastard is rushing to give his own head, and this is the first time I have seen it.

But when things have come to this point, King Chu City can only hope that among Ling Yin's disciples, there are people who are proficient in military strategy and can help him defeat the Qin army.

Xiang Yan has been watching with cold eyes, and when all the dust settled, Shi Shiran got up and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiang will not participate in sending troops."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone glared at Xiang Yan, hello Xiang.

Having been a loyal minister for so many years, I never expected, oh, I never expected that it was the last critical moment.

You turned traitor!

I really didn't expect you, Mrs. Xiang, to have this day!

Chu Wangcheng asked with a heavy tone: "Xiang Qing, why did you say such a thing?

This is the time of life and death for the state of Chu. If you don't send troops, are you trying to insult the prestige of your ancestors? "

Xiang Yan smiled and said loudly: "Your Majesty, look at this whole palace of ministers, each of whom is eating a vegetarian meal.

If you want to rely on these people to maintain the state of Chu, you might as well fantasize about the resurrection of the former king Xiong Dun and lead Chu to defeat Qin.

With these insects, how can the country be governed?How can you win the battle?
Based on them alone, I am afraid that they were defeated and surrendered as soon as they arrived on the battlefield.

Is it not the most stupid thing for the minister to hand over the children of the Xiang family to them?

I am willing to lead Xiang's children and private soldiers to resist Qin alone.

Even if you are invincible, you will die! "

Seeing that the state of Chu was about to come to an end, Xiang Yan's words were really wanton and impassioned, completely venting Xiang's depression all along.

"Xiang Yan, you are crazy!"

"Xiang Yan, how dare you satirize Your Majesty!"

"Xiang Yan, you have humiliated me so much, I want to fight you to the death!"

Just because of these weak chickens in the palace, how dare someone come to tease his beard?

Xiang Yanhu stared, and the nobleman who said he was going to die was instantly cowardly, embarrassed and afraid to speak.

"Humph!

With this courage, I look forward to receiving news of your defeat. "

After speaking, Shi Shiran walked out of the palace in the eyes of everyone, with such an extremely arrogant appearance, the nobles who saw it wished to kill Xiang Yan directly on the hall.

Naturally, Xiang Yan didn't just talk about it casually. After he returned to Xiang's fiefdom in Jiangdong from Xinying, he mobilized tens of thousands of farmers and soldiers in addition to his family's children and thousands of private soldiers from the clan.

"If this victory is won, the state of Chu can survive for a few more years. If it is defeated, the country will collapse directly. There is nothing to say."

Although Xiang Yan is not the patriarch, he is the highest official in the Xiang family, and has great prestige among the Xiang family's children. The Xiang family's children said one after another: "It's all about death. I am willing to fight to the death with my relatives!"

Looking at the Xiang family's children actively participating in the war, Xiang Yan was very pleased, and let everyone go home to take care of the funeral.

His grandson Xiang Ji came to him and asked, "Grandfather, are you going to fight the Qin people? Although my grandson is young, he is brave enough to fight with you."

Although Xiang Ji was only ten years old, he was born different from ordinary people and had natural supernatural powers, which Xiang Yan liked very much.

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "Ji'er is still young, don't worry.

You are the master of war descended from heaven, and you have an infinite future.

If grandfather died in battle, he cannot come back.

When you grow up, you must overthrow Tyranny, restore Chu, and avenge us! "

Xiang Ji said with tears in his eyes: "Grandfather, my grandson will definitely avenge you. My grandson will kill all the Qin clan and let them be buried with you."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, thinking it was just a kid's joke.

How powerful is Qin State?
Qin Wangzheng is about to become the emperor, ruling thousands of subjects and thousands of miles of land.

Xiang Ji, when the state of Chu is destroyed, he will be the subjugated nobleman that the state of Qin will hunt down, and he will be inferior to ordinary common people.

How could it be possible to overthrow Qin's rule?

Xiang Yan took her eldest son and hundreds of Xiang's children who had settled down their families to meet the Qin army.

As soon as he walked out of Jiangdong, he heard that Chu's 20 troops had won a small victory.

Wang Jian retreated for [-] miles, but could not hold out, the Chu army took advantage of the victory and launched a large army to pursue, trying to wipe out Wang Jian's [-] troops.

When Xiang Yan heard this, she was not overjoyed, and said to the left and right: "Wang Jianshi is a famous general, and there is no single enemy in the world. He must be defeated by fraud. The Chu army pursued rashly, and I am afraid that they will be defeated by the Qin army."

Sure enough, the aggressive Chu army was ambushed by Wang Jian and suffered heavy losses. Xinying City was defeated in a battle, and the king of Chu was captured.

In the name of the king of Chu, Wang Jian issued an edict to the territory of Chu State, demanding that all cities surrender.

After Xiang Yan received it, she threw it on the ground, split it in half and said, "This is a false order, I cannot obey it.

The state of Chu has not yet perished, and Mr. Xincheng has always had a virtuous name. If you support Mr. Xincheng as the king and gather those desperate soldiers, I can still fight. "

Although Wang Jian broke through Xinying City, there were still some sons who were enshrined as kings outside, and Lord Xincheng was one of them.

Mr. Xincheng soon reconciled with Xiang Yan, and became king under the support of an army of [-].

When Wang Jian heard that Lord Xincheng was king, he immediately led his troops to attack. Xiang Yan led the Chu soldiers to defend. The two sides fought fiercely for a month.

Wanting to rely on the natural danger of the great river to resist the Qin army, Wang Jian was not in a hurry to attack, but cut off the food roads of Xiang Yan first.

Then ships were mobilized from the entire Wu area. After several months of preparation, the Qin army began to attack mightily.

Xiang Yan can be considered a famous general, but whether it is Wang Jian's personal strength or Qin's strength, it is not at all something that the current Chu State can stop.

He defended the city for half a year, and after exhausting the last food in the city, he was finally defeated by Wang Jian.

So far, the last resistance force of Chu State has been slaughtered.

The state of Chu is completely destroyed!

----

With the demise of the Chu State, a unified centralized monarchy was established in the land of Zhuxia. This is a huge institutional innovation. The political system based on the Qin system has taken root in the land of Zhuxia since then. . - "The Destruction of Nations"

　So be it, Chu State, a backward slavery country, can be destroyed directly, so there is no need to waste more words.
