    "Your Majesty! Da Sima (Shen Baoxu) sent an envoy to deliver the battle report!  The famous eunuch quickly ran into the hall, slightly panicked and saluted King Chu Hui, stood up and said.

    "Hurry up and let that person come in and report! What kind of courtesy are you doing?" King Chu Hui said anxiously.  In the past few days, the battle reports sent from the front line are not good news.  Although the Chu army was not defeated, it suffered more defeats than wins in several small-scale battles, which made King Hui of Chu feel uncomfortable.  Now that he suddenly heard the battle report, King Chu Hui couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

    Not long after, a group of dusty soldiers rushed into the hall. Probably after receiving the advice from the previous eunuch, the soldiers did not salute, but reported in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty! It's not good! Our army has been attacked by Zheng Zheng.  The army was defeated! Now Da Sima has withdrawn from the state of Zheng with his army! He is confronting the Zheng army at the border!"

    "What!" When King Chu Hui heard this, his eyes suddenly went dark, his body staggered, and he fell to the ground.  He murmured unconsciously: "How could this happen! How could this happen!"

    "Hurry up and get through the doctor!" The eunuchs around King Chu Hui were shocked when they saw King Chu Hui fainted. Fortunately, they were not stupid. They helped King Chu Hui up and shouted loudly that the doctor would come to Chu Hui.  King treatment.

    In fact, King Hui of Chu¡¯s physique turned out to be quite good. After all, Chu was a martial king who did not receive training when he was a child.  But he was so unlucky that he was frightened not only by the Baigong Rebellion, but also by the Han Dynasty's attack, sitting back and watching the loss of his ancestors' inheritance.  In the end, only a piece of land with a radius of thousands of miles in Jingbei was left, which was nearly ten times smaller than when he took the throne.

    He was almost escorted to Keshan by Yang Zilu to participate in the alliance with Qin and Ba.  In fact, it was said to be an alliance, but it was a shame for the Chu State. King Chu Hui suffered so much torture and did not become another "Goujian".  Instead, he became severely mentally damaged, became much more fragile, and looked at things with a sense of sadness.  My spirit was not good, and my body was also a lot weaker.  This time King Hui of Chu finally made up his mind and decided to attack Zheng Guo to restore the prestige of Chu State.

    Unexpectedly, what greeted him was not a victory but a report of defeat. How could King Hui of Chu not be shocked?

    It didn¡¯t take long for King Chu Hui to wake up, and there was no big problem with his treatment.  But King Hui of Chu was already in poor health, and after this stimulation, his already weak body became even weaker.  This weakness is not easy to deal with and needs to be warmed up slowly, and within a month, King Chu Hui needs to rest.  Even if they deal with government affairs, it will take at least twenty days of rest before they can handle government affairs again.  Otherwise, King Chu Hui is very likely to fall into coma again. At that time, it will be more troublesome than now, and he may even die.  Don't believe it, based on the deceptive medical technology of ancient times, it is very possible to draw this conclusion.

    (Note: This is not to despise ancient medicine. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were great medical masters like Bian Que, but there was only one Bian Que Most of the skills of other medical craftsmen were mediocre.)

    Ye Gong and the others were immediately anxious. The Chu State could be said to have lost everything by stealing chickens.  The army of the State of Zheng was watching with eager eyes outside, but King Hui of Chu was seriously ill in bed at home. To describe it, it was difficult to describe it as internal and external difficulties.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is only one way Ye Gong and the other officials in Wancheng Qing can do it "hide it" and then hold court meetings every day to discuss the solution.  But as the saying goes, if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime.  There is another saying: Paper cannot contain fire.

    First, the ordinary officials below started talking about it, why didn¡¯t King Chu Hui appear at the court meeting?  You want Mr. Ye to preside over the court meeting?  As a result, countless versions of rumors appeared, among which three versions were the most popular. The first one, King Hui of Chu, received the report of the defeat from the front and secretly fled the Chu Kingdom with his entourage.  The second "Ye Gong" rebelled and secretly put King Chu Hui under house arrest. The third "Ye Gong" had already killed King Chu Hui and was wooing the officials to elect him as King of Chu.

    These three versions have been spread with eyes, as if those people see them with their own eyes.

    People in the Chu State were in panic, and the Chu army, which was confronting the Zheng army on the front line, was no better. There were actually deserters.  Many generals were clamoring to go back to quell the chaos, and even secretly spread the news that Ye Gong promised him to become the Queen of Chu, allowing Shen Baoxu to serve as both the Ling Yin and the Grand Sima. After Shen Baoxu, he would be hereditary doctor.

    This made the military camp, which was already like a powder keg, even more undercurrent. If it weren't for Shen Baoxu's high prestige, he might have been unable to suppress it.  In fact, Shen Baoxu also doubted whether it was Ye Gong who put King Chu Hui under house arrest at the beginning. After all, the rumors were spread in a well-organized way. After Shen Baoxu heard it too much, he couldn't help but doubt Ye Gong's character.

    Fortunately, Mr. Ye was not very good in military affairs, but he was still outstanding in politics.  Ye Gong asked King Hui of Chu who was ill in bed to write a personal letter to Shen Baoxu. After seeing this letter, Shen Baoxu's suspicion was resolved.  Otherwise, I am afraid that the current Chu army will be even more chaotic. Maybe Shen Baoxu misunderstood and gave Ye Gong Qingjun side, thenAt that time, the Chu State did not know how to end the situation. Zheng Jun, who originally wanted to stop fighting after repelling the Chu army, immediately changed his mind when he saw the Chu state was in such chaos.  However, the people of Zheng were bullied a lot and did not have much experience in bullying. They did not seize the opportunity to attack, but chose to wait and see what happens.  This caused the Zheng people to miss the best opportunity, and later made Ji Zichao and other Zheng doctors regret it so much that their intestines turned green with regret.

    Time passed slowly for ten days. These ten days were all torture for Ye Gong!  Ye Gong had no choice but to let the bedridden King Hui of Chu attend a court meeting.  Unexpectedly, King Chu Hui heard the court meeting that was like a market, which made King Chu Hui's head swollen. In the end, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he actually vomited blood and fell into coma on the spot.

    Three versions of the rumor were broken, but the news that King Hui of Chu was in coma made the political situation even more chaotic than before, making Mr. Ye regretful to the point of regret.  If I had known this earlier, I might as well have gone against the rumors and the situation would not have been worse than it is now!

    Because there are many ordinary doctors in the court meeting, although these people are willing to keep secrets, they themselves do not have much awareness of confidentiality.  After drinking a few glasses of wine at the Women's Branch (Women's Branch Hospital), he immediately became so fascinated that he forgot everything, and inadvertently spread the news that he was comatose and vomiting blood at the Chu Hui Dynasty meeting.

    Where is the Female Pavilion?  It can be called the place with the densest news in the world, and it is also the place where it is easiest to spread news.  In just one night, everyone in Wancheng knew the news that King Chu Hui vomited blood and fell into coma the next day.

    The Kingdom of Chu is not without smart people. At this time, there was a doctor named Gongsun Chao. He offered advice to Mr. Ye: "Why doesn't your Majesty know about the reinforcements from Han?"

    "Compared to the Han State, Zheng Guo is just a weasel, while the Han State is a tiger and a wolf! How can we invite the Han State to come?" Ye heard this and immediately shook his head in denial.

    Gong Chochao did not give up and continued to state his opinions.  "Ling Yin only saw the surface, but Chu and Han have an alliance. At this time, Han did not come to support, but came to take advantage of the situation. How will the princes of the world view the Han Hou in the future? And Ling Yin, have you noticed Although the Han Hou  There are a lot of treacherous thingsbut overall it is still about integrity!"

    Ye Gong thought about it carefully and felt that what Gongsun Chao said made sense, so he nodded and said, "You are right."

    Ye Gong immediately sent Cheng Zilu, who had been on an envoy to the Han Dynasty, to go to the Han Dynasty. Originally Yang Zilu did not want to send troops, but this Cheng Zilu's tongue is really quite good.

    He said to Yang Zilu puzzledly: "Your Majesty, this battle is not only to save the Han Kingdom, but also to lay the foundation for your Majesty to strive for hegemony in the world!"

    Yang Zilu has long been familiar with those lobbyists, and Yishuang encouraged you as if he was thinking about you.  So Yang Zilu just nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything.

    Cheng Zilu was not discouraged and continued to puzzle: "The State of Zheng is located in the middle of the world The capital Xinzheng is located to the east of the Zhu River. The Zhu River connects Yingshui and Pushui, and these two rivers connect to the Huaihe River. The Huaihe River is connected by Banggou.  The Yangtze River. About a hundred miles north of Nanzheng is the Yellow River. It is convenient for your Majesty to communicate between the north and the south, and it is also the best stepping stone for striving for hegemony in the world!"

    Then Cheng Zilu persuaded Yang Zilu from the international situation.  "Your Majesty, there are no more powerful countries in the world than Han, Jin, and Qi! Although it has been two years since the Tian family of Qi killed their king, the domestic opposition is still considerable. The Tian family of Qi will never dare to send troops to help Zheng at this time and offend you.  Go up, push your Majesty to the opposition forces. And the opposition forces do not want to send troopsfor fear that Tian Chang will exhaust all their troops!"

    Yang Zilu couldn't imagine that Cheng Zilu was still somewhat capable, and what he said was so eloquent Yang Zilu couldn't help but feel excited.

    Cheng Zilu knew the meaning of striking while the iron was hot, and when he saw Yang Zilu's expression showing some unconcealable emotion, he immediately stepped up and said: "Besides, the Jin Kingdom may not be able to send troops this time."

    "Oh? You want to say that the four ministers are restraining you? But if we send troops, there is no guarantee that they will cooperate! After all, Zheng State borders Jin State Once we occupy Zheng State, it will be very dangerous to Jin State!" Yang Zilu is not stupid.  Knowing that this is the top priority for Jin State.

    Despite the current prestige of the Han Kingdom, Yang Zilu did not dare to go north to compete with the Jin Kingdom for hegemony just because of a supply line problem.  Otherwise, Yang Zilu would have gone north to compete with Jin for hegemony. Becoming a hegemon could not only become a world policeman and occupy the righteousness, but also make it easier to wage war against other countries and occupy their territory.  The princes of the world also have to pay tribute to the overlord, which has many benefits.

    But so far, Yang Zilu has not gone north to fight for hegemony, which shows Yang Zilu's fear of the Jin State and the level of resentment that makes the country miserable.

    When Cheng Zilu heard this, he knew there was a way and said: "Your Majesty may not know that just twenty days ago, Zhiyao hosted a banquet for Han Hu, the head of the Han family. Han Hu took his retainers to the banquet. At the banquet, I don't know.  Who mentioned Zhiyao¡¯s contribution to attacking Zheng Guo and capturing seven cities? Zhiyao was so proud that he took advantage of the wine toPlaying with Han Hu, he said: "I have read many history books." Among the countries with the same name as me, there are tall tigers in Qi State, rare tigers in Zheng State, and now including me, there are three!  At that time, Duan Gui, Han Hu's retainer, stood beside Han Hu and said: "Li" does not call people by their names, for fear of violating the other party's taboo!  Are you going too far by teasing my lord now?  , Duan Gui, a short man in life, stood next to Zhi Yao, and when he came under Zhi Yao's breasts, Zhi Yao patted Duan Gui's head with his hand and said, 'What do children know?  When he saw the excitement, he came over to chat!  How is it that you can know Sanhu's conversation?  , After saying this, Zhiyao clapped his hands and laughed.  Duan Gui didn't dare to stand up to Zhiyao and looked at Han Hu.  Han Hu pretended to be drunk, closed his eyes and said: What Uncle Zhi said is true.  , after Han Hu said this, he was helped by his retainers to leave.  "After hearing this, Yang Zilu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Is this Zhiyao really stupid or pretending to be stupid? When he attacked Zheng State, I heard that he was playing tricks on Zhao Wuxie, and now he is playing tricks on the Han family. Could it be that he is planning to kill the four Jin Dynasty members?  Did the other three ministers offend Guang?

    Cheng Zilu continued: "Although Han Hu didn't say anything, he must be resentful in his heart. The Zhao family and the Han family are closely related. Now that the two sides are in the same boat, they will definitely join forces to a certain extent. Even if Zhiyao sends troops, Zhao will  The Wei family and the Han family must be perfunctory, and the Wei family doesn't know what their attitude is. So why does Zhiyao dare to take the Zhi family's army out? Isn't he afraid that the Han family and the Zhao family will steal his retreat? "

    After Cheng Zilu finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zilu, but seeing that Yang Zilu remained calm, he could only rack his brains to find a bargaining chip to persuade Yang Zilu.  "If you want to be the overlord, you must be benevolent! In the past, when Duke Huan of Qi was the overlord, he saved the Yan State in the north and restored the Wei State in the west, which won the approval of the princes. Now you save our Chu State for the same reason. The Chu State  The people of the country will definitely burst into tears of gratitude to you. The princes in the world will also feel your kindness. Wherever your army goes, who dare not eat the pulp from the pot to welcome you?"

    Yang Zilu didn¡¯t expect Cheng Zilu to have such eloquence. He had to admit that he was convinced by Cheng Zilu.  Yang Zilu Qian glanced at Cheng Zilu, nodded and said: "Since the doctor has said it to this extent, it would be too ruthless for me not to send troops. But for me to send troops to help, there is a condition!"

    Although Cheng Zilu was worried about the domestic situation, he did not agree readily but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please tell me!"

    Yang Zilu now admires Cheng Zilu, but Cheng Zilu comes from the Chu royal family, so I'm afraid she won't be able to win over him.  Yang Zilu then stopped trying to win over Cheng Zilu, thought about it seriously, and said: "I want Lu Ban! The doctor understands what I mean, don't tell me that there is no such person!"

    Yang Zilu said with a smile, and immediately stuffed the words Cheng Zilu wanted to hide back into his stomach.  Seeing that Cheng Zilu couldn't hide it, he had no choice but to say: "Only what the Lord wishes!"

    Yang Zilu said with a smile: "Okay! It's refreshing enough! Come and pass on my order to mobilize the soldiers of Guangling County, Donghai County, Shouchun County and County to attack Shenyi! In addition, let Song, Mou, Han, and Xue  , Qi State, and Dong Chu sent troops to help!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Zilu did not expect Yang Zilu to be so generous. Yang Zilu mobilized the troops from three counties out of the six counties of the Han Dynasty, and also asked other vassal states attached to the Han Dynasty to send troops.

    "It's just that Nariko didn't expect that the future is bright but the reality is cruel.  It didn't take long for him to realize that he had been tricked by Yang Zilu. In fact, strictly speaking, it was not a trick, it was just wishful thinking.  (To be continued
