My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 611 A real man is willing to sacrifice his life for justice! Why do you, Xiang Yan, look dow

Chapter 611 A real man is willing to sacrifice his life for justice! Why do you, Xiang Yan, look down on me?

There was silence in Xiapi Yamen.

Every general has countless words stored in his heart.

Every general has various thoughts.

But every general just looked at each other and remained silent.

God Zhu Rong is above! The Great God of Water is above!
We are just leading the troops to fight as expected.

Why did you get involved in the battle for leadership?
Are we qualified to participate in a major event of this level?

After the atmosphere was silent for more than ten breaths, Zhaoyuan finally spoke: "The general has no right to comment on the important matters of the country."

"I will report today's events to the clan leader as they are!"

Jing Li also spoke up: "This matter is of great importance, and only the clan leader can make a final decision!"

Xiang Yan took the wine cup and saluted from a distance: "Thank you very much."

What gives politicians the biggest headache are idealists.

Hearing what Xiang Yan said, Xiong Liu felt much relieved.

"I will go to Lieutenant General Qu to persuade him not to let one issue interfere with the affairs of the country."

"If this is the case, great things can be accomplished!"

"The remaining matters are not something that the general is qualified to handle."

Jingli immediately shouted in a solemn voice: "Shangzhuguo, you have exceeded the rules!"

Looking at the empty government office, Xiong Liu smiled softly: "Everything is as Shang Zhuguo expected!"

With a flick of his cloak, Qu Huan strode away.

Then why can't he, Jingli, compete for the position of clan leader?
The status of the leader of the Jing family is not inferior to that of King Chu!
However, just when Jingli was yearning for it, Zhaoyuan asked angrily without hesitation: "Does the Shangzhu Kingdom want to alienate my descendants of the Zhao family?!"

Qu Huan said the most explosive words in the calmest voice.

"The Qu family is a four-hundred-year-old family. It has deep roots in our country, flourishes, and has great influence."

But Xiang Yan's hand holding the wine didn't tremble at all, and she even drank all the wine!

A meeting related to the fate of Chu State lasted only a quarter of an hour and ended quickly.

However, the Qu clan never waited for Qu Huan's summons.

Qu Huan shouted angrily: "It's not your turn to decide the future of Da Chu!"

Xiong Liu frowned slightly: "Of course, I have no old grudges with the Qu family, but Qu Huan seems to be firmly opposed to my ascension to the throne."

Xiang Yan smiled, looked at Jing Li, Zhao Yuan and others and asked softly: "You guys, don't you want to be the clan leader?"

As we all know, Jingpo, the eldest son of the Jing clan leader, ran away to Qin, leaving the position of Jing clan's heir vacant.

A famous general rushed back to the camp, gathered all the generals from the clan to discuss countermeasures, and reported the matter to the clan.

Seeing Qu Huan leaving, Jingli's generals also quickly waved their hands and left.

Xiang Yan also nodded lightly: "No one except Qu Huan directly refuted it. This is the best result."

Xiang Yan explained patiently: "The reason why Vice General Qu is furious today is mostly because the Qu family's food towns are scattered on the south bank of the Huaihe River. The policy of exchanging territories was supposed to be beneficial to other clans, but it was not good for the Qu family."

Other nobles whose clan leaders were not in the military also nodded and did not dare to express any opinions on this matter.

Qu Huan finally raised his head and looked at Xiang Yan. When he saw Xiang Yan drinking, Qu Huan said quietly: "The wine is poisonous."

"When I ascend the throne, I will definitely promise you to ascend to the Zhu Kingdom and take the position of Ling Yin!"

"The future of our great Chu lies in your hands!"

Jingli's heart trembled suddenly.

"Shangzhuguo, sit down!"

When Xiang Yan walked into Qu Huan's tent, she saw Qu Huan sitting alone behind the table, filtering wine with silk.

As long as Qu Huan is seeking benefits, then we can talk about it.

Without raising his head, he said hello, Qu Huan poured the filtered wine into Jiu Jue, and then pushed Jiu Jue in front of Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan chuckled and nodded: "This general made a mistake."

Xiang Yan also solemnly raised his hands and returned the salute: "Thank you, general!"

The position of the Jing clan leader is indeed exciting.

Xiong Liu held up his hands solemnly: "I will never forget Shangzhu's support in this life!"

Jingli immediately calmed down.

"It's just that time waits for no one!"

"It is also up to the Lord of Min'an to proactively contact all ethnic groups and gain support from all ethnic groups."

"Ms. Qu, I might hinder my accession to the throne!"

But it’s not the turn of outsiders to interfere in Jing’s internal affairs!

"This wine is very sweet!" Xiang Yan smiled cheerfully: "I thought that Patriarch Qu would be annoyed because he took the wine for himself without asking me!"

"But I never thought that Patriarch Qu would be so majestic!"

Qu Huan looked at Xiang Yan with a more complicated look: "You know this wine is poisonous, but you still drink it?"

Xiang Yan smiled and shook her head: "This general will not live long."

"As long as the poison in this wine is not fatal if you drink it, then why not drink it?"

Xiang Yan knew what Qu Huan wanted to remind him.

But how could Xiang Yan not see clearly her situation?

If Helu City is destroyed and Xiapi City is destroyed, the Chu State will be defeated and will perish.

As the leader who contributed to this defeat, Xiang Yan could only apologize with death!

If Helu City is not destroyed and King Qi of Chu survives the battle, the Chu Kingdom will gain a complete victory.

How could King Qi of Chu let Xiang Yan go? Xiang Yan can only apologize with death!
If Helu City was destroyed, Xiang Yan occupied Lu according to his military strategy and supported Xiong Liu to ascend the throne, would Xiang Yan's ending be better?

of course not!
With Xiong Liu's temperament, it was impossible for him to let a general who could influence the throne live. Xiang Yan still had only one chance of death!
So if Chu Wang Qi or Xiong Liu were mentally disabled or lacked strength, and by chance spared Xiang Yan's life, would Xiang Yan survive?
Still not!
Successively supporting Chu kings Qi and Xiong Liu to ascend the throne completely exposed the power and influence Xiang Yan controlled in the Chu state.

The small Chu Kingdom is already very crowded to accommodate the three big clans of Qu, Jing, and Zhao. The Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans will never allow the Xiang family to become a big clan that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Qu, Jing, and Zhao under the leadership of Xiang Yan. They will definitely fight for it. Try your best to kill Xiang Yan!

No matter what the final result of this battle is, Xiang Yan will definitely die!
Qu Huan looked at Xiang Yan with an increasingly complicated look: "Is it worth it?"

After Xiang Yan was silent for a few breaths, he replied firmly: "It's worth it!" "Today, Chu is in a precarious situation."

"If we can seize the opportunity of this battle, our country, Chu, will at least be able to survive for decades, not to mention its revival."

"But if we miss this opportunity to fight, within ten years, maybe even within three to five years, our great Chu will be dead!"

"How can it not be worth it to exchange the life of one of my generals for the rule of Chu for decades?"

As the head of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yan chose to confess to Qu Huan in exchange for support from the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans after Xiang Yan's death.

As a father, Xiang Yan wants to avenge his eldest son and too many Xiang children who died in the battlefield!

at all costs!
Qu Huan also filled a cup of wine for himself and drank it all in one gulp.

As the bitter wine entered his throat, Qu Huan sighed softly: "How could I, a great country in Chu, have fallen into such a state!"

Xiang Yan did not answer Qu Huan's question.

Because both of them knew very well that when they assisted King Chu Ming to kill Chu King Han, the fragile rules of the game between king and minister in Chu State that had been maintained for hundreds of years had been completely broken.

The ambitions in the hearts of famous royal family members such as King Qi and Xiong Liu of Chu were aroused. The greed for interests of the major clans skyrocketed. The intensity of the internal struggle in Chu State suddenly intensified. Pandora's box was difficult to close, which created today's predicament!

But even if you know, so what?

Even if they go back a few years ago, they will still help King Chu to kill Chu King Han.

Use this to safeguard the interests of wealthy families like them!

Xiang Yan pushed the wine cup in his hand forward: "Imitate what happened in Qin last year, with one king holding the capital and one king traveling abroad, consuming the enemy's troops and exchanging territories to survive. This is my only way to break the situation. Of the policy."

"For my sake, Dachu will no longer sink, and for my sake, Dachu will be revived."

"Brother Qu, can you lend me a helping hand?"

After Qu Huan was silent for a long time, he poured half a cup of wine for Xiang Yan and replied seriously: "Qu will not explicitly support Xiong Liu."

"But the Qu family will not be an obstacle to Shangzhu Kingdom."

Qu Huan admired Xiang Yan's determination.

But Qu Huan didn't want to be like Xiang Yan, let alone become a thorn in King Chu's side.

Qu Huan didn't care whether the King of Chu was Xiong Qi or Xiong Liu. He only cared about whether Qu Huan was still the head of the Qu clan, and whether the Qu clan was still a powerful clan in Chu!
Xiang Yan drank all the wine and bowed her hands: "That's enough."

"Brother Laoqu and all of you still need to work hard for the rest of the road."

"This general will be responsible for all this chaos."

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yan stood up.

Qu Huan's eyes followed Xiang Yan's and he said in a complex voice: "There is no poison in the wine."

"I only wish the country of Shangzhu is in good health."

Xiang Yan smiled heartily: "Why should a man be afraid of death?"

"I'm just willing to sacrifice my life for righteousness!"

"If Brother Qu is interested, I will take care of the Xiang family's children on behalf of me."

Qu Huan also stood up and bowed his hands: "Definitely!"
-
Outside the city, the Qin and Qi coalition forces continued to attack the city on a daily basis, shouting and killing endlessly.

In the city, the Chu army, while guarding and repairing the city, began to build a platform and prepare various ritual vessels.

The atmosphere around Xiapi City suddenly became strange.

This weird atmosphere even started from Xipi City and spread to the entire Chu Kingdom!

August 20th.

As the last batch of Zhao'an troops dumped the loess in the basket into the trench, the ravine between the Qin and Qi coalition forces and Helu City was finally filled with enough space for the army to move.

However, the generals of the Qin-Qi coalition could not laugh.

"Is there going to be an attack on the city next?"

Looking at Zhao'an's army rushing back after compacting the soil, Tang Jiu felt very uneasy.

Sima Chuang said anxiously: "I thought that our army was pressing down on the border, and the Chu State would be panicked and retreat quickly."

"Even if our army attacks the city, there is no need for our soldiers to actually rush to the city wall. They only need to show off."

"But why!"

“The Chu army still hasn’t withdrawn to this day?!”

The same doubt lingered in the minds of every Qi general, and even more so in Ying Chengxuan's mind.

What exactly is going on?

It’s just that I can’t clearly judge the enemy’s political affairs. Did Wang Jian even make a mistake in his judgment?
But it shouldn’t be!
This general has been threatening Helu City with heavy troops for so long. Why is Xiang Yan so motionless? !

Do you look down on me?
Why do you, Xiang Yan, look down on me? !
Ying Chengyu couldn't guess Xiang Yan's thoughts, and he couldn't sort out the complicated relationship between the court and the court.

All Ying Chengyu knew was that the war situation had forced him to a dead end!

Taking a deep breath, Ying Chengyu waved his hand to summon Su Jiao and whispered: "Let your troops speed up."

"I will lead my army to fight for opportunities for your department."

Su Jiao solemnly raised his hands: "Wei!"

After waving Su Jiao to retreat, Ying Chengyu shouted loudly: "Where is Captain Wang Pan?"

Wang Pan stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "I will be here!"

Ying Chengyu asked: "Is the catapult ready?"

Wang Pan said solemnly: "Our unit has built forty catapults and six thousand flying stones."

"You can always be at the disposal of the coach!"

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Move twenty catapults to the northwest gate of Helu City."

"Move twenty catapults to the west gate of Helu City."
