Yue Ji

Chapter 257
It took only two hours for the battle to officially end.

During this process, none of the chariots of the Chu people came in handy.Most of the soldiers were captured by the Jin people before they found their weapons.

In this era, the greatest spoils are these defeated.The defeated are the largest source of slaves.The Koreans gave three points of their own captures to Prince Jingling, three points to King Jin, and the remaining [-]% were appreciated and accepted.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is the son Jingling.Most of the slaves were captured by his soldiers.

For the next few days, the entire Hancheng was filled with the screams of the slaves and the smell of cooked meat being burned.This is when everyone is busy imprinting the family mark on the faces of the slaves.

Next, several sages from Gongzi Jingling drove the slave army to their fiefdom.In this era of poor productivity, labor will always be precious.

However, this is just the beginning.

On the seventh day, Prince Jingling suddenly announced that the people of Chu had humiliated him too much, and he could not bear such insults.Therefore, three days later, he will lead his soldiers to launch his personal revenge against the Chu people!

As long as there are sufficient reasons for personal retaliation, there is no need to inform Zhou Tianzi, and there is no need to ask Jin Jun for instructions.In other words, the current young master Jingling can raid any Chu city in a grandiose manner!without being blamed by anyone.

It wasn't until this time that Wei Luo fully understood: perhaps from the moment Young Master Jingling entered Chucheng Ying to rescue him, today has already been counted!

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Cai Ren, who got the news, made way for the army of Prince Jingling without making any resistance.

Young Master Jingling's army marched into Chu, heading straight for the fief where Young Master Wu was.

With the elite of the son's private army in Jingling, coupled with this sudden attack that was so swift and swift, it can be said that it is really like entering a land without people.

The black army of the young master Jingling built a steel Great Wall and pressed heavily into the Chu territory.

It only took three months, and the private army of Young Master Jingling has already captured the three cities of Chu.These three cities belong to the fiefdom of Gong Ziwu.

When Gongzi Jingling attacked Gongziwu's fiefdom, among the Chu people, the forces belonging to the king of Chu and Gongziji, who were in power, still had a wait-and-see idea.

The people of Jin have always followed the rules. Perhaps after the son Jingling took revenge on the son Wu, he withdrew his troops and returned to the country?

Because of this fluke mentality, Young Master Wu's hoarse request to send troops was always delayed again and again.

Just when Young Master Wu gathered his private army and hurriedly set out on the road, he was about to fight to the death with Young Master Jingling.Young Master Jingling went down to Chudi Mountain, and the news of the two cities spread to Yingcheng!

This mountain and the two cities belong to the territory of the ruling son.

Only at this time did people in Chu know that Young Master Jingling had no plans to withdraw troops at all.Could it be that he wants to make Chu people destroy the country?
Chu people panicked.

Countless orders were issued, and countless lords were ordered to lead private troops to gather. For a while, the entire Chu country was in turmoil.

When the Chu people hastily gathered 40 soldiers and rumbled towards the team of Prince Jingling, Prince Jingling had already conquered six cities in Chu!
But in four months, he has conquered six Chu people's cities in one fell swoop!

Such a thing can be said to be unique in history!
For a time, the world was in an uproar.

Prince Jingling stood on the wall of the tea city, looking quietly at the north city.Inside and outside the northern city, there are busy Jin soldiers.These Jin soldiers are all private soldiers belonging to Han Cheng.They did not participate in this private revenge by Prince Jingling.They were just helping out. Whenever the people of Gongzi Jingling broke through a Chu city, they were responsible for turning the people in the city into slaves and driving them back to Jin.

What appeared in his field of vision now was the slaves of the Chu people who formed a long queue.

Mr. Wen strode up behind Young Master Jingling, crossed his hands, and praised loudly: "In four months, Young Master has conquered six cities of Chu! Such an achievement is unparalleled in the world."

Mr. Wen has always been close to Young Master Jingling, and he doesn't like to praise him.

But at this time, he was applauding blatantly.

Young Master Jingling's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards.

He turned his head to look at Duke Wen, his eyes were bright, and he said in a calm and powerful voice: "This time, I will capture ten cities of the Chu people! I will use my [-] private army to fight against the Chu people, Retire calmly! This time, I want to let the princes of the world know that the era of Chu has passed, and from now on, the overlord of the world will be my son Jingling!"

"good!"

Duke Wen said in admiration: "Your Excellency, with the power of one person, exhausted the entire Chu people! Within three years, you will be able to summon the princes of the world, and you will be sure of the world's hegemony!"

When Wen Gong said this, he was really high-spirited and in a good mood, he couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Wen's laughter resounded loudly.

Young Master Jingling also laughed, he smiled, glanced over, and saw Wei Luo who was walking slowly.

At that moment, his eyes lit up, and a gentleness flashed across Jun's face.

He waved his hand towards Wei Luo and called, "Son, come closer."

Without him opening his mouth, Wei Luo was also approaching him.

When she came to him in small steps, Young Master Jingling stretched out his right hand and held her little hand tightly.

He pulled her to his side, looked tenderly at Wei Luo who was dressed in a red robe, and sighed contentedly: "My wife is beyond words!"

While sighing, he stretched out his hand to caress Wei Luo's beautiful hair, and gently hugged her into his arms.

Seeing this, Mr. Wen coughed softly beside him, flicked his sleeves, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, there was the sound of rapid footsteps.

A swordsman ran up the city wall in a hurry and said, "Report! Chu's army is approaching, only fifty miles away!"

Young Master Jingling frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "You came very quickly!"

As soon as his voice fell, a rush of horseshoes came from below the city.Mr. Wen glanced down, and his yellow and thin face showed a look of caution, "There are soldiers coming from the north gate." The north gate leads to the state of Jin, and the soldiers come from there, which means that something happened in the country.

After a while, a soldier ran to the city wall sweating profusely.

As soon as he came in front of Young Master Jingling, he knelt on both knees and fell to the ground.

Young Master Jingling frowned as he looked at this soldier who was sweating profusely and with a few traces of prostration.

The soldier struggled to get up from the ground, and just as he raised his upper body, he raised his head and hurriedly said to Young Master Jingling: "My lord, something is wrong!"

With a wave of Mr. Wen's hand, two swordsmen stepped forward to help the soldier up.

After the soldier stood upright, panting, he said hastily: "My lord, half a month ago, after the monarch got drunk at the banquet, he suddenly announced in public: Your son is arrogant, unkind and unfilial, and the monarch decided to remove you from the position of prince. And ordered not to return to the capital for life!"

what?
All of a sudden, nearly a hundred people on the city wall were stunned. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't believe their ears!

The dignified King Jin, how could he do such a thing at such a moment?
This, how can this be good?

All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads to look at Young Master Jingling.

Young Master Jingling's face turned pale, but in a blink of an eye, his expression was already gloomy.

In his depression, there is an incomparable calmness.Everyone must have seen it.

Only Wei Luo, holding his hand, clearly felt that at this moment, his palm felt cold.

Wei Luo looked up at him, at the man who couldn't show any panic on his face at this moment.At that moment, she opened her little hand and held his hand tightly behind her.

Young Master Jingling sensed Wei Luo's movements. He glanced at her, then stared at the soldier, and said in a deep voice, "Drunk talk at the banquet is never taken seriously. Could it be that at the banquet, the envoy of Emperor Zhou Are there four of the ministers here?"

The soldier lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "Of course."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.

This is a premeditated abolition!It turned out that when the young master Jingling was running outside for the hegemony of the Jin people, the rich and powerful of the Jin people had already united to deal with him!

Quiet.

Young Master Jingling closed his eyes.

After a long while, he murmured: "People's hearts can never be trusted! The covenant is still in our ears, and betrayal will come soon!"

His voice was very low, very low, only Wen Gong and Wei Luo could hear him clearly.

As soon as his emotions came out, Wei Luo instantly understood: when the young master Jingling went out to fight, he had already let go of the country.His original intention was just to attract some extremists who opposed him, and then kill them.But he didn't expect that those ministers who made a covenant with him and swore to stand by him would back it down!
They broke their oath, they stabbed him in the back at the most critical moment!

Wei Luo raised her head and looked at this pale and tired man tenderly. She knew that a man like him didn't need meaningless comfort.He just wants to know why those powerful people betrayed him.Therefore, Wei Luo said: "Unexpectedly, the reason why all the ministers and officials broke their oaths is that they are afraid that the young master will be too powerful!"

She paused, and murmured: "Young Master is a tough person, and if he is in power, he will not tolerate anyone's provocation. Presumably, the reason why the dignitaries persecute you is because they are afraid that once you succeed to the throne, you will act arbitrarily and offend those lords and dignitaries." Interests."

There has always been an irreconcilable conflict between the emperor who longed for centralization and the lord who enjoyed feudalism.The conflict between monarchy and ministerial power is fierce and bloody.

Her voice was so low that only the young master Jingling and Wengong could hear her clearly.

Young Master Jingling looked down at her.

He looked at her, looked at her straight, and after a long while, he sighed in a low voice: "I don't know the truth until now!"

There was another rush of footsteps.

In a blink of an eye, the footsteps came behind everyone.A soldier rushed up, and he crossed his hands towards the young master Jingling, and shouted anxiously: "My lord, Qin people will send 20 troops and [-] chariots to help Chu attack me at Chu's request!"

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, several sages in the crowd swayed and fell limp to the ground!
But in a blink of an eye, everyone's faces were pale.

The Qin people have sent troops!
The people of Qin came to help Chu!

Fifty miles ahead, there are people from Chu who are constantly attacking, and behind the land of Jin is the expulsion order issued by King Jin!The western neighbors are the army of the Qin people!

In just a blink of an eye, the young master Jingling, who had just thought about the prospect of hegemony, was already in an absolute predicament!
Wei Luo pursed her lips tightly.

She raised her head and looked at the man who was still standing straight.

In a moment of silence, Wei Luo let go of his hand and walked in front of him.

She lowered her head, crossed her hands towards Young Master Jingling, and after performing a standard virtuous salute, she raised her head, looked at Young Master Jingling with bright eyes, and said loudly: "At this time, what can I say! "

Maybe it was because her eyes were too bright, maybe it was because her expression was too calm, looking at her, Young Master Jingling's heart really settled down.

He stared at her and said, "Say!"
