empress and princess

In the first two days of July, a violent storm started the spring and summer. At this time, the Qin King's army was invincible and took a city from Chu State, named Shangcai.

Shangcai City, which has just broken through, has been washed by the night rain, and the flames of war have been extinguished to wipe away the remnants.

The drizzle was like smoke, and the victor, King Qin, stepped up the city wall step by step, his black hair brushed against his face.

She didn't hold an umbrella, and let the water fall and gradually wet her cheeks. After listening to the latest battle report brought by Ah Yan, she was standing at the highest place, her dark red robe was slightly lifted by the wind, and her face was expressionless. There is a taste of watching the fire from the other side.

The content of the battle report sounds very simple. It is said that Qin Mingyue suffered several defeats and still did not give up and attacked the city several times. In the end, he was repelled by the old general Meng Chen and suffered heavy losses.

The second is that Princess Chu changed her strategy, switched from offense to defense, retreated from Chengyang, and led the army to defend against the enemy.

And this enemy, needless to say, is naturally her, Qin Jihuang.

"Qin Mingyue was defeated again, causing Daqin to lose a lot of troops. Does the king really care about that eldest son?" Ah Yan, who was standing beside her, said in a muffled voice, and finally couldn't hold back and slammed down the city wall.

The dark guard, who has always been ruthless and lustless, also knows what it means to serve the country loyally after being taught by the Ninth Prince.

However, the eldest son of Qin lost his army again and again, and all of them were the elite of Qin.

"The queen mother is in his hands, even if the lonely king wants to take care of it, he has to be scruples." As long as this reason exists, Qin Tangjing will not be able to regain Qin with all his strength, not to mention the palace change and the killing of prisoners, which forced her to speed up. There is no possibility of going back.

"Qin Mingyue is holding back part of Chu's main force. We have a better chance of winning when we attack Chujing Shouchun, so we haven't had the time to deal with him yet."

Utilization is also a trick.

After saying this, Qin Tangjing curled up her thin lips habitually, and subconsciously reached out to touch her waist, but there was nothing there. She looked down and remembered that her plaything, the folding fan, had already been given away.

A Yan frowned on the side: "This subordinate still hasn't figured it out. The queen mother is not a good person, so how could she be easily placed under house arrest?"

She has listened to the government and ruled the state of Qin for many years, and the Queen Mother is by no means willing to be stepped on and not fight back.

So far, Qin Tangjing didn't want to understand, but the fact had already happened, so she could only raise her eyebrows, just in time to see two familiar figures under an old tree outside the city, and said, "Then go ask the extremely smart Prime Minister Li Da."

Of those two figures, one was Prime Minister Li, and the other was her little emperor uncle. They seemed to be hiding from the rain under a tree.

I don't know what they were talking about, but Li Shizhou's smile can be seen clearly from a long distance away.

"Prime Minister Li has really contributed a lot." Ah Yan snorted in their direction, folded his arms with a cold face, "helping the evildoer."

Qin Tangjing raised his hand and wiped the water from his brows: "After all, the lady has helped us a lot."

"If it weren't for the protection of the Ninth Prince, Prime Minister Li would not be able to live until now after doing such a thing." Ah Yan deeply remembered the night scene of the palace chaos.

"Uncle Xiaohuang believes in her, and the lonely king also believes in her." Qin Tangjing smiled, speaking in a very forgiving tone, "Besides, everyone has their own time when they are forced to do so."

If hundreds of people in the Li family were threatened with life, she would be forced to submit, so Li Shizhou would not be punished with death.

"Yes, there are times when you have no choice, then..." Ah Yan muttered, and closed her mouth in time at this point, she wanted to say, what about you, my lord, did you abolish your martial arts because you had no choice? I didn't have the guts to ask back.

"Ah Yan, tell me, how hard is it to make an arrogant person bow his head and admit defeat?"

After a while, Qin Tang paused, narrowed his eyes, and asked questions closely.

How difficult it is to make a proud and arrogant person bow his head and admit defeat.

The world regards integrity, benevolence and righteousness as more important than fate, Ah Yan thought for a while, and replied: "It's hard to compare to climbing to the sky."

"It's hard to compare to the sky." Qin Tangjing repeated this sentence repeatedly, and the four words actually chewed out the taste of making people laugh.

She has already come to this conclusion.

Bow your head and admit defeat, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

At the beginning, Chu Huaimin was willing to go to jail because of Meng Qiong. She didn't care about the same crime as the monarch and his ministers. She just wanted to see Chu Huaimin bowing his head to her, but that woman tried her life to prove it to her, for the sake of arrogance and pride. What kind of.

To this day, Chu State is the fate of the eldest princess...

"If all the mountains and rivers in the world belonged to the lonely king, would it be harder than ascending to the sky?"

It was drizzling, Qin Tangjing opened and closed his lips, the voice was so low that only she could hear it.

"Chu Huaimin is quite capable, this time we encounter a hard nail, I'm afraid we will suffer." At the same time, under the tree, Prince Qin Jiu bit his lip, covered his forehead with his hand and looked at the figure in the city, Ji Huang.

It's true that the ability is not small, Li Shizhou is also worried: "A hard nail meets a hard nail, what will happen then?"

Qin Jiufeng squinted at her, "Jade and stone will burn."

"My lord, it's not that serious. You and I are almost 80 years old together. Could it be that you can't beat a little girl?" Counselor Li said this so much that even she could hear it. The capital of Qin State.

Such a peerless person is no less intelligent than any of them.

It's just that the current king of the Chu Kingdom is not very smart, and his subordinates are also mixed. He has repeatedly lost battles in the past few years, which has gradually weakened the vast Chu Kingdom.

In the early years, there was the eldest princess who ruled the country, and Chu State was still powerful, and even the Qin State could not get cheap, but it was a pity that the king of Chu listened to the slander and caused the brothers and sisters to be separated. Just as King Qin expected, without the eldest princess making decisions, he His stupidity is still wrong for the country after all.

The arm of the king of Chu was broken at the right time, and only the eldest princess was replaced in the twenty cities. This was the foresight of the king of Qin.

"Even if we win the fight, how much do you think we will pay?" Qin Jiufeng asked.

"Probably... the same as Qin Mingyue, with heavy losses." Although he was very reluctant, but based on the current situation, Li Shizhou responded, "If the two sides attack and annihilate head-on, it will be difficult to tell the winner or loser."

"In your opinion, Chu Huaimin is still able to turn the tide this time and save Chu State from a crisis?"

"It's hard to say, but it's just a matter of time before the Chu Kingdom is destroyed." Li Shizhou really has to taste the pain. Li Shizhou shook his head, looked at the city wall in front of him, and said, "If they can join forces, Kyushu will definitely not be a problem. .”

They are all beautiful women in troubled times, born of opposites, and shouldering different missions of their family and country.

Sad, sigh.

The defense of Shangcai city in the state of Chu was broken, and then King Qin's army rested for a whole day, and attacked the city from north to south again; it was only because this battle line was chosen very well, which not only played to the strengths of King Qin's army, but also cleverly avoided Chu's powerful army. sailor.

The two most valiant teams of the entire army, the vanguard and cavalry, were invincible wherever they went.

This caused Chu State a headache. Knowing that King Qin's army was aiming at Shouchun, the capital of Chu, it was very difficult for the guards in the cities to keep undefeated.

until--

"Are you so sure that King Qin's army will take this route?" Today's weather is fine and the sun is shining brightly. Song Rong, who followed, tightened his grip on the reins solemnly, looked down at the army down the mountain, then raised his head to look at the person in front of her, and asked aloud talk.

The man didn't turn his head, and after a while her cold voice sounded: "Whether to go or not, it's not decided by King Qin's army, but by the terrain."

Song Rong continued: "So you set up an ambush here."

Since the retreat, the soldiers have been standing still, but the commander's army tent is brightly lit every night, and it turns out that he is plotting against the Qin King's army.

"Yeah." The man turned his face away afterwards, his cold eyes were calm, "It's time to fight back."

It's interesting to fight back against King Qin's army.

Because of the continuous defeat, the morale of the Chu army is too low to fight, and the goal is to increase the morale as soon as possible.

Song Rong knew it very well, so he didn't say anything, and tactfully did not interfere with Chu Huaimin's decision.

"Your Highness, everything is properly arranged!" After a while, Chen Hao turned around, his expression was resolute, and he looked confident.

"What are the chances of winning?" Song Rong couldn't help asking beside him.

Chu Huaimin glanced at her and moved his lips: "Ten percent."

Ten percent, ambush the forward of King Qin's army!Behind these two words is full of her painstaking efforts day and night.

"Shouchun is separated by a river, and there is an important military town Xiacai, but the land and water can help defend together. The Qin army will definitely not be able to attack for a while, and the Chu country will never lose. All generals must inform the battalions of their subordinates. Don't panic. Those who cause riots will be dealt with by military law." Chu Huaimin, who was seated in the commander's tent, spoke harshly, and the words were clearly and forcefully thrown into everyone's ears.

Half an hour later, after the training was over, everyone dispersed one after another, and she was the only one left in the tent.

He could not sleep all night, his eyelids were almost crumbling due to his sore eyes, but his reason was extremely clear, so Chu Huaimin could only lean on his body and close his eyes slightly, the fair skin under his eyes showed a bruise.

"Your Highness, it has been three full days, and there is still no movement in Pingyu Mountain." At this moment, Chen Hao opened the curtain, "Could it be..."

Seeing her looking tired with her hands on her head, Chen Hao immediately paused, and just as he was thinking of stepping back, Chu Huaimin had already opened his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Could it be anything?"

"My subordinates guess whether the forward of King Qin's army will not go to Pingyu Mountain." Chen Hao approached and lowered his voice.

"No." Chu Huaimin rubbed his forehead, "Wait a little longer."

"Yes."

After waiting for ten days and half a month, Pingyu Mountain finally ushered in [-] soldiers from King Qin's army, and the commander was Gongsun Cha.

Originally, he was cautious, and only marched after the scouts reported that there was no trouble. He did not expect that there were people hiding in Pingyu Mountain, which was not suitable for an ambush, and there were many people. When the other party released false news, just when everyone thought that Princess Chu would return to Chujing Shouchun, the main force quietly detoured and appeared in Pingyu!

Afterwards, the outcome was that people turned their backs on their backs. Qin Wangjun's forward was frustrated for the first time, and was caught off guard by the well-prepared Chu army.

At that time, Chu Huaimin, who had returned to the city, finally had a good night's sleep and got good news when he woke up.

Plus a half-bad, half-good news.

According to Chen Hao, they only narrowly missed capturing Gongsun Chai, but suddenly one person jumped out and led the remnant soldiers to break through. In the end, they only captured a thousand people. This is half bad news, as for half good news, that strange woman is very unfortunate and the land was among the captives.

"By the way, this subordinate found this thing on her body." After speaking, Chen Hao lit up the thing, and the latter frowned instantly.

It was a jade folding fan, which looked extraordinary at first glance, and it was no stranger to the master and servant, it was an extremely familiar fan.

Chu Huaimin pursed his lips, opened it, and the beautiful picture of mountains and rivers was still in front of him.

"If my subordinate's guess is correct, this is King Qin's folding fan. This subordinate finds it very strange, so I show it to His Highness." It is inconceivable that the precious item that King Qin never leaves should appear on an unknown woman.

"Where is he?" Holding the folding fan, Chu Huaimin slowly raised his eyes.
