After the task of appointing the heads and collecting the corpses was over, the battlefield returned to calm.

Chu Jun temporarily settled down as Ye Yu expected.

Whether it's out of fear of the so-called "Qin's reinforcements" or because of the unfavorable nature of the gods, the current situation is the best for the Qin army.

It rained lightly for two days outside the tent, sometimes big and sometimes small, intermittent, but it didn't bring much cold, but a sense of sweltering heat.

Ye Yu also felt a little uncomfortable. He walked to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain, and took a few breaths.

"General, do you have any orders?" The guard at the door immediately turned around and asked.

Although it was a rainy day, precautions were still indispensable. The guards stood at their posts wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and at most the rotation time was a little longer.

"It's nothing, let's get some air." Ye Yu looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were lingering, it was hard to tell what time it was, but he hoped that the rain would last for a few more days.

The sound of sprinting over the accumulated water on the ground came to his ears, Ye Yu looked away and saw a soldier in a coir raincoat running towards the main tent.

The guard dutifully stopped him, and before Ye Yu could ask any questions, the soldier hurriedly said, "It's the news from the king." He took out a package of well-sealed things wrapped in animal skin from his arms .

Ye Yu slightly raised his hand to signal, and a soldier beside him took it and handed it to him.

He took it apart in twos and threes, and inside were the bamboo slips with engraved characters and Ying Zheng's seal.

"Let him in." Ye Yu ordered while walking back.

There were not many words on the bamboo slips, and he had already read them once when he sat down, and the corners of his lips curled up on his calm face, showing a slight smile, as if a ray of sunshine had leaked from the cloudy sky.

"Did Your Majesty say anything else?" Ye Yu asked as he put down the bamboo slips.

The soldier replied: "The king said that as long as it is not dangerous, I will do whatever you want."

These words were useless to Ye Yu, but he still received this kindness, and the corners of his mouth curved a little higher.

"You go down." He waved the soldier back, and found the news about Meng Ao and Le Cheng from several cases.

Meng Ao has 20 Qin soldiers and 17 Wei and Wei allied forces. Judging from the current situation, victory is a matter of time. However, this is not a siege battle right now. If you break the city, you will win. The two countries repel, which will take a little more time.

What's more, Ye Yu can rely on such a small number of people to hold back Chu Jun, Wei Jun will not be inactive, Meng Ao probably won't be able to get away for a while.

It was more troublesome for Zhao Guo and Le Cheng to face Pang Nuan, but it was not dangerous yet.

Ye Yu, who was isolated and helpless, let out a sigh of relief, secretly hoping that his plan would go smoothly.

Despite the bad weather, the Chu Army sent a team back to Chu State immediately to ask for food.

"You want food and soldiers?!" The King of Chu looked at the person in front of him with an uneasy expression.

The general sent by Chunshen Jun nodded in a daze, somewhat puzzled why the King of Chu reacted so strongly.They all knew that the Chu State had reserved nearly 20 troops as a back-up for this joint venture, and it was just in time to take it out a little earlier at this time.

However, the King of Chu no longer had the gentleness towards Jun Shenjun and his family in the past, and said coldly: "You and the widow can explain clearly, where is the shortage of food and soldiers?"

The general explained everything exactly, but a sneer appeared on the face of King Chu.

"That's interesting. The number of Qin soldiers is comparable to the number left behind, but they only burned part of the food and grass, and then left without doing anything?" His tone was full of doubts.

The general replied: "It may be because there are tens of thousands of people ahead of him to fight us again."

The king of Chu took a few cases and said: "Didn't you say earlier that Qin would send at most 50 people? The total number of Meng Ao, Le Cheng, and Cheng is only 35, and the remaining people are commanded by a general who is not very famous. Can't the army of 30 people take it?!"

As the leader of this alliance, the King of Chu also received the battle report, and it may be more detailed than the one in Chunshen Jun's hands.

The general also felt shameless, and said vaguely: "Then Qin seems to have reinforcements, there must be more than 20 people."

The king of Chu asked again: "Where did he get reinforcements?!"

The general didn't know, so he could only guess wildly: "Maybe the construction of that canal has stopped?"

When the King of Chu heard him say these groundless, like excuses, he said angrily, "Get out!"

The general hadn't asked for his rations yet, so he hesitated to leave.

"Don't you listen to my widow's words?!" The king of Chu was already angry, but at this time his eyes were like arrows, as if he was looking murderous.

The general just came to his senses and hurriedly retreated.

Looking at the empty hall, the King of Chu suppressed his anger a few times, but he still couldn't hold it back. With a wave of his hand, several cases were lifted, and the bamboo slips on it fell all over the floor.

The maidservants and servants in the hall all lowered their heads and shrank timidly.

After a while, the King of Chu got up again with a gloomy face, and strode towards the queen's palace.

When the King of Chu arrived, his eldest son, the crown prince Xiong Han and the second son Xiong You were also there. They were relieving the worried queen.

King Chu's eyes fell on Prince Han's face, and Prince Han quickly sensed his father's anger. He, who had been loved so much since childhood, took a step back as if taken aback.

The queen patted the eldest son on the back, and said sadly to the king of Chu, "Your Majesty, what did the concubine do wrong?" She had been neglected by the king of Chu a few days ago, but she couldn't understand it.

The King of Chu looked at Prince Han, and said with a sullen face, "My son really looks like... ah."

The queen replied: "Han'er is the king's child, of course he looks like the king."

The King of Chu said abruptly, "The widow is saying that he looks more like Lord Chunshen."

The queen's body shook, and she forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, my lord? Han'er is obviously more like you."

Prince Han didn't know why, and nodded with a pale face.

The King of Chu recalled Chunshen Jun's face when his beard was not thick more than ten years ago, and then looked at Prince Han in front of him. The news he heard a few days ago and the return from his personal guards seemed to be echoing in his ears. I think Prince Han and Chun Shenjun look similar.

In particular, he remembered that the prince was born prematurely, and the queen was presented by Chun Shenjun at that time.

No man would tolerate having a green hat on his head, let alone this matter involved state affairs.

The king of Chu, who was burning with anger, thought about his love for so many years, and decided to make a final test. He angrily said to the queen, "Do you still want to hide it from me? I have already asked someone to investigate. Whose son is he? You yourself It's all clear!" He did indeed send someone to investigate, but all they found were a group of dead people, all clues were cut off, which instead brought out that something was wrong.

Prince Han was about to refute, but saw the queen suddenly slumped on the ground with a terrified expression.

The queen is indeed not a cowardly person who can do such a tricky thing, but such a major event has been on her mind for more than ten years, and the psychological pressure is unimaginable. She was suddenly exposed by the king of Chu, and the whole person seemed to have lost her support and collapsed. up.

Prince Han also realized it, his face was pale and he waved his hands, retreating again and again, muttering in his mouth: "Impossible, I am the son of the father, I am the prince, I am the son of the father..."

The young man in his early ten years was still awakened by the crown prince Han's words. He immediately ran to the queen and asked in a hurry: "Mother, am I the son of the king?"

The King of Chu's eyes fell on him, and the Queen seemed to be back to her senses. She hugged the second son and said to the King of Chu, "Your Majesty, You'er is your son! He is really your son!"

The King of Chu was indifferent, and even showed disgust on his face. Regardless of whether the young master was really his son or not, at this time, in his opinion, he was no different from Prince Han.

He opened his mouth, wanting to order these people to be executed, but a guess suddenly popped up in his mind, he had to swallow the words that were about to blurt out, and imprisoned these three people first.

The king of Chu never thought that Huang Xie, who he had trusted wholeheartedly for more than 30 years and who treated him as a prince of Ling Yin, would do such a thing.Back then when he had no heirs, Lord Chunshen frequently offered women for his children, and he was very moved. Who would have thought that he would have such thoughts behind his back.

If Mr. Chunshen clearly gave him a concubine who had already given birth to someone who he said was good at giving birth, he would accept it without any grievances and give him love.Anyway, it's common for concubines to give away others these days, so he would think that Chun Shenjun was thinking of him.

But unfortunately, Mr. Chunshen sent not only the concubine, but also the child in the concubine's womb.

He also thought that Lord Chunshen could let his own son sit on the crown prince and become the future king of Chu, so would he have thought of replacing him long ago? How could the 30 army be short of soldiers and food?Is it that Huang Xie wants to use this to support private soldiers or to seize the throne?

Thinking that half of the country's army is in the hands of a person who wants to usurp the throne, the King of Chu felt restless. He immediately wrote an order, and was afraid that Lord Chunshen would directly rebel if he found out that the matter had been revealed, and then lead an army of 30 When he attacked Chu, he didn't dare to speak out, so he only called him back.

After sending out the letter, he thought of another person—the queen's brother Li Yuan.

Li Yuan used to be Chunshen Jun's attendant, if he said that he did not participate in it, no one would believe it.

However, Li Yuan was no longer on the battlefield. He happened to be in Juyang, so the king of Chu immediately ordered Li Yuan to be arrested.

First Chunshen Jun, then Li Yuan brothers and sisters.Thinking that the people who valued him most were those who plotted against him, and also remembering that the prince whom he loved in every possible way was not his own, King Chu felt so angry that he couldn't even drink water, and even felt even more angry every time he wanted to suppress his anger. After so many repetitions, he spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out directly.

Although the king of Chu fell into unconsciousness, his orders were carried out normally.

Relying on his younger sister to get his current status, Li Yuan faintly sensed something was wrong when his younger sister suddenly fell out of favor a few days ago, and now seeing the people sent by the King of Chu to arrest him, he immediately understood that something happened.

He immediately ordered his personal guards to fight with those who came to arrest him as a cover, while he escaped from the state of Chu and went straight to Lord Chunshen who commanded an army of 30 at the front.

Because he was fleeing for his life, Li Yuan's speed was actually not much slower than the envoy of the King of Chu. When Chun Shenjun, who didn't know it yet, was about to leave for his country - he arrived.

The author has something to say: ① This article does not use the statement that Lord Changping is also the son of King Chu Kaolie, because it feels a little unreasonable. I think he should have a similar status as Han Fei, the son of Chu, but he belongs to the clan.

②The age of the son of King Chu Kaolie recorded in the encyclopedia has problems. This has been mentioned before, and I use my own estimation here.
