Slag suffers as [main attack]

After receiving the news from Kyoto, the staff around King Zhao couldn't help saying hello.

Originally, King Xu, King Zhuang, and King Qi were the main forces participating in the battle for the throne. The appearance of King Zhao will definitely attract the defense and rejection of both of them.Even if the two kings intend to use King Zhao to attack King Qi, they will use Xi Ruier as a hostage to firmly control King Zhao's actions and prevent him from going too far.

But things have developed to the point where Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang have no choice at all.With the death of King Qi, the son of King Qi, who has not yet stabilized his military power, mobilized the fighting spirit of all his soldiers in the name of revenge, making them loyal to him. In front of the soldiers, they fought and retreated, in a panic.

At this moment, the two kings no longer have the capital to bargain with Zhao Wang.The soldiers under King Qi were all clamoring to avenge their lord and kill their enemies with their hands. This completely cut off the possibility of reconciliation between the two kings and King Qi's family. Now, there is only one way in front of them, which is not life. It is death.At present, it seems that it is more likely to be killed than to successfully win the throne from the prince of Qi.

Now, Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang no longer expect to reach the top, they just want to save their own lives.Although the supreme throne is tempting, but if you have that life to fight for, you have to have that life to enjoy it.If they had some fantasies about reaching the top before, after being defeated by the angry Qi army again and again, their fantasies have been completely shattered.Fear and anxiety occupied all of their minds.

Because of the great change in mentality, the attitude of the two kings towards Cyril also changed a lot.Before this, Xi Ruier was just a tool held in their palms to restrict the actions of King Zhao and Wei Ze, and from the moment Qi's army announced that it would avenge King Qi, Xi Ruier was the tool they handed over. A certificate of nomination for King Zhao, they need to treat Xi Ruier kindly, and then win the favor of King Zhao.

Therefore, in the past few days, Cyril found that his standard of living had risen sharply. Even though the two kings were gradually depleted of supplies after being besieged, the treatment he received here was still the best.Even if Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang were too busy to get away every day, they would send people to comfort him and understand his needs, so they almost paid him a tribute.

Cyril was not surprised by the change in the attitude of the two kings, who made him one of the driving forces behind the scenes.Originally, although there was competition between the two kings and the king of Qi, if he had not intensified the conflicts between the two sides behind the scenes, the king of Qi might not have been stabbed, and the relationship between the two kings and the family of the king of Qi might not have become so tense.Even, if he hadn't sent someone to whisper some remarks in the ears of King Xu and King Qi, King Xu might not have killed King Qi directly regardless of King Zhuang's wishes, and King Qi might not have known that his father was about to kill him. In the case of being assassinated, reduce the number of people who protect his father...

One link after another, it seems that everything is accidental, but in fact, nothing can escape the careful calculation of others.

Cyril just used himself as a bait to set up such a trap, but he didn't expect that so many prey would be caught one after another.Judging from the current situation, by the time he closes the net, everything will almost be settled.

At some point, Cyril had already gotten used to such a complicated and calculating life.Everything is just to make yourself and your lover live a better life.

Thousands of miles away, King Zhao's subordinates were overjoyed after seeing the nomination certificates submitted by King Xu and King Zhuang to King Zhao, as well as the various materials sent.The current situation in Beijing is very favorable to them. Now, Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang have offered to give them internal support, so why worry about it not being a big deal?

After hearing the news, King Zhao was not happy, but worried.

He didn't need to think too much about the current chaos in Beijing. He knew that it was Xi Ruier's handwriting.He was more worried about Cyril's safety than whether he could speed up his progress to the throne.

The two kings and the family of King Qi will fight to this point, and Xi Ruier has contributed a lot.Although he acted covertly, as long as he did these things, his traces would be exposed. At that time, he didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter.

As long as he thinks that it is because of him that Xi Ruier is in the current dangerous situation, he will not be happy at all.

Seeing that King Zhao was worried, Wei Ze, who had always looked at him disliked, comforted him uncharacteristically: "Don't worry, Xiaoxi is much smarter than you. Since he dared to do these things, he must have his own backup. Now, As long as you and I stay steady, Xiao Xi won't be in too much danger."

King Zhao thought about it, and it was indeed the reason.Even if Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang knew that they were plotted by Xi Ruier, what could they do?Now, if they want to live, they can only beg Xiaoxi, begging him, even if they don't dare to do anything.

As for Prince Qi's son... There was a cold light in King Zhao's eyes, he will get rid of him first before he is bad for Xiaoxi!It's just a son who can lead the Qi army only by relying on his father's shade!If it wasn't for the common goal of avenging the King of Qi that united the Qi army for a short time, did he think he could truly lead the Qi army?dream!

What is false is false after all. Today, the people of King Qi's family can gather under King Qi's son because of the common goal of revenge. In the future, will they betray King Qi's son for some other reason?After all, among the many sons of King Qi, the son of King Qi is not the most talented person. For generals, they have other choices.

What King Zhao didn't expect was that before he had time to deal with Prince Qi's son, someone had already made a move first.

I don't know where the news came out, saying that the son of the king of Qi got the news that the second king was going to murder the king of Qi early in the morning. , Not only turned a blind eye to what the two kings did, but also contributed to the flames.The evidence is that on the day that King Qi was assassinated, the son of King Qi happened to transfer half of the guards around King Qi.

In the eyes of King Qi's subordinates, this incident was just a coincidence.But now, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel right.

If it was really just a coincidence, why did King Qi's son transfer the guards away when the second king sent the assassins?Whether the two kings took advantage of the opportunity to enter, or the son had planned it in advance, this question kept lingering in the hearts of many veterans.

Most of these veterans who have worked hard with King Qi have been with King Qi for many years. They have deep feelings for King Qi, which is why they were so angry when they heard that King Qi was killed, and vowed to make the two kings pay for their blood. .If Prince Qi didn't want to be as innocent as they imagined, but planned it long ago... What they did would undoubtedly become a joke.

Gathered under the hands of Prince Qi's son, jointly crusade against the two kings, and avenged the deceased King Qi, but it is very likely that the culprit will be counted as a part of King Qi's son?It's also ridiculous.

If Prince Qi's son really participated in this matter, for these veterans, it would be even more unforgivable than outsiders murdering King Qi.

The veterans will have doubts about the rumors, instead of firmly standing on the side of King Qi's son. It is not without reason that they believe in him.

The original son of King Qi was not liked by King Qi.Among the princes of King Qi, the aptitude of Prince Qi can only be regarded as moderate. If Emperor Chu insisted on establishing his son as his son, and Princess Qi's natal family was strong enough, now, it is still uncertain who will be the prince of Qi.All along, the relationship between Prince Qi's son and King Qi has been somewhat tense.

This time, if Princess Qi's family hadn't provided important information to King Qi and made a lot of contributions, King Qi probably wouldn't have brought Prince Qi's son with him just to "reward" Princess Qi.Perhaps in King Qi's view, bringing the prince of Qi with him is just to show off to Princess Qi. With him around, it is never the prince of Qi's turn to make the big decisions.

He never imagined that his momentary negligence would lead to such serious consequences.

What Qi Wang didn't think of before his death, his old buddies thought of it for him behind him.Therefore, they could not forgive Prince Qi's son more and more.

Many people think that the son of the king of Qi is already the son, and in the future, when the king of Qi drives west, everything will be his, so why should the son of the king of Qi do anything to his father?The generals under King Qi knew that King Qi had long wanted to abolish his son.This matter has never been put on the agenda.But if King Qi takes the throne, it will only be a matter of time.King Qi was afraid of Princess Qi's natal family, and he pityed his sweetheart, preferring his bright and bright young son.Because of this incident, Princess Qi's lineage had been very unhappy with King Qi earlier.For this matter, the generals under King Qi often persuade him.It's just that, no matter what, the father-son knot between King Qi and Prince Qi's son has already been knotted.

If the son of King Qi really had this opportunity, he would definitely get rid of King Qi and take over by himself!

Once doubts are planted, they are often difficult to dispel.

The generals under the king of Qi followed the son of the king of Qi, not to submit to him, but to avenge the king of Qi.Now that he knows that King Qi's great enmity is inseparable from King Qi's son, how can he continue to serve him?

The condensed morale dissipated a lot in an instant.Those generals spontaneously divided into two, one side stared at the second king, and the other side focused on Qi Wang's son, neither would let them go.

Xu Wang and Zhuang Wang who received the news were relieved.In any case, as long as those people stop staring at them and guard them strictly, it will at least give them a chance to breathe.

"Your idea is really good. I didn't expect our people to spread the rumors as you ordered, and those veterans immediately believed them." Xu Wang looked at Xi Ruier with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of approval .It wasn't that they didn't have the king of Qi and those subordinates of King Qi used countermeasures, but none of them succeeded.It can be seen that whether this countermeasure works depends on who it is used against.

"However, how do you know that those veteran generals of Qi State believed it?" Xu Wang asked.

Xi Ruier pursed her lips: "King Qi and his father and son are not getting along... This matter is not a secret in the country of Qi."

Xu Wang suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I thought you knew all this a long time ago." He said the last sentence with a lot of meaning.Obviously, Cyril's unusual performance still aroused his suspicion.No matter how simple-minded Xu Wang is, he is still a prince.To be able to live safely under the hands of Emperor Chu to this day, without being cut off or beheaded, he naturally has his own city.

After Xi Ruier left, Zhuang Wang looked at Xu Wang's appearance and only sneered: "When you should be smart, you are not smart, but when you shouldn't be smart, you become smart. Some people like to pretend to be smart, don't they feel pretty good about themselves?" good?"

"What do you mean?" King Xu's brows were so tight that they could almost kill a fly.Although the two sides were in a state of cooperation most of the time, he always felt that King Zhuang looked down on him, and he had a faint feeling from the first time the two met.Later, the two almost fell out because of this reason.To be honest, if it wasn't for his own sake, King Xu would really be unwilling to cooperate with King Zhuang, and King Zhuang gave him a really bad feeling.

King Zhuang saw that King Xu not only didn't understand, but also looked unconvinced, and shook his head: "If you can't figure out the situation like this, I won't be surprised if you die on the street someday."

Before King Xu appeared to retort, King Zhuang said again: "Do you think that without the threat of King Qi's generals, King Zhao's assistance to us is dispensable, so you don't have to be polite to Wei Ling Xike anymore? That's it, isn't it?"

"What's wrong? You and I took the lead in attacking this capital city. Since the Qi army, which can pose a threat to us, is already in chaos, why can't we capture the people who both King Zhao and Weize value? Restrict their actions and negotiate conditions with them?" Xu Wang took it for granted.

"Do you really think that having a hostage in your hands is omnipotent? Then why didn't you think of detaining Wei Lingxi and threatening King Zhao and Wei Ze to attack the Qi army for us? Because you also know that being coerced into acting, After all, you can’t make people feel at ease, right? At that time, your life was in danger, so you naturally dare not bet on how much King Zhao and Wei Ze will do for Wei Lingxi’s sake.”

"But now, do you think we can sit back and relax? Although the pressure on the Qi army is less, if we have any changes, they will be the first to jump up and bite our throats! No matter what, You are the direct murderer who killed King Qi. This fact cannot be changed no matter what! As long as you are here, the Qi army will not let us go! In this situation, if you want to offend King Zhao unscrupulously, then I have nothing to say!"
