Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 520
During the commotion, someone suddenly shouted: "The Prime Minister is here, the Prime Minister is here!"

When Zhao Xi and the generals behind him hurriedly looked up, they saw Lou Jing rushing over on horseback, waving at Zhao Xi from a long distance away, and shouting: "General, General..."

Seeing the armored soldiers of the Chu army accompanying Lou Jing, Zhao Xi and the generals changed their expressions again.

When he got closer, Lou Jing panted again and again: "It's okay, it's not too late..."

Zhao Xi glared at the armored soldiers of the Chu army behind Lou Jing, and interrupted coldly: "President Guo, what's your purpose here?"

Lou Jing panted, "General, Han He has indeed set himself on fire, and the King of Chu has agreed to make Tian Heng the King of Qi. There is no reason for the soldiers to burn themselves with the Chu army for the sake of Han He, the only husband."

As soon as these words came out, the generals behind Zhao Xi were in an uproar.

For Han He, the generals and soldiers of the Qi army can't really talk about any feelings. Even Han Xin has only been the king of Qi for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how to win people's hearts. The tyrants of Qi drove away, Han Xin was like this, and Han He was even more helpless. What made the soldiers commotion was that the king of Chu wanted to seal Tian Heng back to Qi.

Not only the generals, but also the soldiers who heard this began to whisper. Obviously, compared with Han Xin, Han He and his son, the two outlanders, the generals of the Qi army prefer Tian Heng, the former descendant of the Qi king, to be theirs. Your Majesty, a king is a king. The ancients valued righteousness and fame. That's really not nonsense.

Do princes and generals care about each other?These words came from the mouths of two thugs, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. It has been less than 30 years since the Daze Township riot. The one-of-a-kind principle that is admired, to use a term from later generations, is called universal value.

Zhao Xi was also a little shaken, but after all, he is a veteran of many battles, and he would not be fooled so easily. He immediately drew his sword to suppress the commotion of the soldiers behind him, and then said coldly to Lou Jing: "Minister of the country, let you The tongue is bright and the lotus flower, this general also absolutely does not believe it, whether the sage is alive or dead, we will know when this general returns to Linzi."

"Kill back to Linzi and see the outcome?" Xiang Zheng said lightly, "Does the general really think you have the chance to kill back to Linzi? You don't even think about it, if it wasn't for Han He's self-immolation, if it wasn't for our army Already fully controlling Linzi, if the overall situation in Linzi hadn't been settled, how would this crown prince dare to divide his troops and come to the camp in the east of the city?"

Speaking of this, Xiang Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply: "General, I might as well tell you straight, if you insist on going your own way and insist on dying for the sake of Han Hena's only husband, then my prince So you are not welcome, anyone who dares to resist my Great Chu King Master will be... shot to death!"

Hearing this, Lou Jing was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. This prince is too fierce, he doesn't know what to do, right?Is this really Ziling or Luoyang?Zhao Xi is not a stunned young man in his twenties, he is a veteran in the battlefield who crawled out of the dead, so how could he accept you?

Moreover, no matter what, Zhao Xi is the top general of the Qi State, and the only remaining veteran in the army. He single-handedly promoted many generals and schools in the army. It was a big mistake to threaten Zhao Xi with these words. Isn't it to force Zhao Xi's soldiers to feel the same hatred?Lost consideration, lost consideration.

Sure enough, when many generals of the Qi army heard this, their eyes showed tyranny, and they all gathered behind Zhao Xi with their hands on their sword hilts. Obviously, as long as Zhao Xi gave an order, they would not hesitate The ground led the army to hide and kill. Seeing this scene, Lou Jing was so nervous that he was about to suffocate.

Xiang Zheng looked calm, as if everything was under control.

Zhao Xi stared at Xiang Zheng coldly, as if he wanted to find some clues from the young man's eyes and expression, but to his disappointment, the other party's eyes and expression were as calm as Gujing dry water, while he was as sharp as a knife Under the staring eyes, there was not even the slightest flicker, Zhao Xi suddenly felt awe-inspiring, did the Holy One really burn himself to death?
Zhao Xi never believed that this young man with a weak crown in front of him could make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face, even if he was the Prince of Chu, it was impossible. Therefore, the other party seemed so calm and calm, there was only one explanation, that is He really has something to rely on, so he has no scruples, that is to say, what he said is true.

"With your three or two thousand troops, how dare you threaten this general?" Zhao Xi retorted coldly.

Xiang Zheng smiled lightly and said, "If you add the [-] elite Chu troops in Linzi City, is it enough?"

After a pause, Xiang Zheng said again: "If the general thinks it's not enough, what about the [-] troops of Yan and Bei Diao, and the [-] troops of Han, Han, and Zhao? You might as well tell the general and all the soldiers, The [-]-strong army commanded by General Shentu has been defeated by the Han, Han, and Zhao allied forces in the past, and the entire army was wiped out."

The generals and soldiers behind Zhao Xi started to commotion again. This bad news greatly affected their confidence. Now even those diehard loyalists who were loyal to Han He began to waver, because the reality is cruel and the situation is grim. Well, if they want to survive, they may really have to change their families.

"There is one more thing." Xiang Zheng smiled, and continued, "According to reliable sources, King Han, King Han, and King Zhao have reached an agreement, intending to divide Lu Tai as King of Qi. This crown prince would like to ask General Zhao and the Qi army Soldiers, do you want someone with a foreign surname to be your king, or do you want someone with a surname Tian to be your king?"

"Needless to say, who the hell wants someone with a foreign surname to be the King of Qi?"

"That's right, Tian Heng was originally the king of Qi, so it's only natural for him to be the king!"

The surname Tian belongs to the royal family of Qi, and it is the largest surname. Most of the soldiers in the Qi army have the surname Tian. As soon as Xiang Zheng’s words fell, the generals surnamed Tian immediately clamored loudly. Zhao Xi was also a little moved. Compared with the two, he also preferred Tian Heng to be the king, not Lu Tai.

Moreover, Xiang Zheng acted too calmly and calmly, which made Zhao Xi a little convinced.

"Very good, then I will invite the general to select [-] elites to follow the prince into the city to maintain order." After Xiang Zheng said that, Su pointed at the camp in the east of the city and said loudly, "As for the rest of the soldiers, we should go back to the camp first. Stand by."

Han He, in full military attire, was patrolling the city defense with his sword in hand.

The long dark night finally passed, and the sky finally dawned. Seeing the bright red sun rising from the eastern horizon, Han He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. , I heard you right, right? The so-called Chu army is nothing more than bandit soldiers in disguise, and this is nothing more than a bluff."

The captain of the Forbidden Army was ashamed, recalling his performance last night, he was really embarrassed.

However, the Captain of the Forbidden Army still had some doubts, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, there has been such a drastic change in the city of Linzi, why is there no movement from the General?"

"That's the old general." Han He said with a smile, "After all, he is a veteran in the battlefield, how can he be deceived by the mere tricks of the bandit soldiers? Don't you think about it, why don't you deploy troops in the dark night without authorization?" Is it easy to be taken advantage of by bandits? Don't worry, the general's army will enter the city to rescue him in half an hour at most."

The captain of the Forbidden Army said again: "But I don't know who is making trouble?"

"There is no need to guess?" Han He said coldly, "It must be those remnants of the Tian surname who can't be killed. They were extremely restless when the first emperor was around. Now that the Allied Forces of the Six Kingdoms are attacking, they think the time is ripe, so they will kill them." I can't wait to do it, so that's good, just take this opportunity to wipe them all out."

"Your Majesty, General, there are bandits coming over there!" Suddenly, the imperial guards shouted.

Han He and the captain of the Forbidden Army hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, they saw a large mass of banners appearing on the street facing the south gate of the small town. Han He glanced over and saw two big banners that surprised him. The bright yellow banner of the Chu army turned out to be the purple banner of the Qi army on the other side.

Looking at the inscription on Qi Jun's banner again, Han He almost fainted on the spot with his eyes darkened.

The purple banner of the Qi army was actually embroidered with the words "General Zhao of the Great Qi". This is impossible. How did Zhao Xi's banner of the Chinese army get along with the bandit of the bandit pretending to be the Chu army?
However, there was still a little luck in Han He's heart. He rubbed his eyes immediately, and then looked under the big purple banner, and then the cruel reality dealt him an extremely heavy blow. , Who else is riding the horse instead of Zhao Xi?Zhao Xi is a rebellious boy, he really has an affair with the bandit soldiers!

Almost at the same time that Han He saw Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi also saw Han He standing under Huang Luo's umbrella.

But at this time, Zhao Xi had already been dragged into the "thief ship" by Xiang Zheng and Lou Jing, and it was impossible to change his mind even if he wanted to, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, so he turned his head and gave Lou Jing a hateful look, and said angrily: "The Prime Minister lied to me!"

Lou Jing chuckled, and quibbled: "General, the truth did not lie to you. The truth only said that Han He set himself on fire, but did not say that he had set himself on fire." He burned the remaining firewood, and said, "Look, isn't that the trace left by Han He's self-immolation?"

"You are sophistry." Zhao Xi was furious, and then sighed again, "Forget it, what's the use of talking to you now?"

"The General's words are right on point." Lou Jing straightened his face and said solemnly, "The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero, you and I are both from the old Qi, and there is no reason to die with the Chu army for the sake of Han He, a lone man from outside. Isn't it?"

While speaking, a group of people had already arrived outside the south gate of the small city, and Xiang Poli immediately stepped forward, raised his head and shouted: "The generals and soldiers of the Qi army in the city listen carefully, Han He's perverse behavior has been seen and abandoned by the people of Qi State, and the king of Chu has already given him a seal." Tian Heng is the king of Qi, and he will return to Linzi to take the throne in a few days, if you don't surrender now, when will you wait?"
