"King, we finally captured Shouchun, why do we have to retreat?"
Above the main hall, all the generals from Baiyue looked up at Yan Lingji standing in front of the throne, with expressions of astonishment and confusion on their faces.
Yan Lingji asked: "Compared with the former Wu Kingdom, who is stronger or weaker in Baiyue?"
The generals looked at each other and helplessly replied: "It's not as good as that."
"An army of one hundred thousand is already my limit for crossing a hundred mountains. Only when the King of Chu personally conquers the vassal states in Hexi and the capital is empty can we capture Shouyang!"
Yan Lingji sighed slightly: "Just like the Wu State in the past, even if it defeated the Chu State, it would not be able to swallow the elephant with its snake in the end."
The generals were silent, and a naked, rough and violent general roared: "Then we will slaughter the city of Shouyang and take away everything we can, leaving nothing for the Chu people!"
Other generals also agreed.
"If killing is necessary, Wushuang will crush every bone of the Chu people!"
Yan Lingji said coldly: "Over the years, the Chu people have plundered our wealth, enslaved our people, and massacred our compatriots. Every Baiyue person must remember this hatred! What I want is not temporary pleasure, but
It is true revenge, allowing the Chu people to taste the despair of destroying their country and never being able to recover it again!"
After a pause, Yan Lingji said: "I order you to do no wrong in the future after entering the city and spread the belief in the God of Fire. Now every household is worshiping the God of Fire, and you must do the same when you leave the city. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
All the generals showed sincere awe and bowed their heads to obey the orders.
…
"The Queen of Baiyue is famous all over the world!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang were walking on the streets of Shouchun, their expressions extremely solemn.
They originally led their farm disciples to come to help.
That night, they witnessed the rain of fire falling from the sky and the unification of Baiyue. They knew very well that this new king would definitely become a powerful enemy of the Chu State, but they did not expect that it would come so quickly.
When Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan were there, people in the world were extremely dissatisfied with these two selfish powerful officials. But when they died, they discovered that when the king is fatuous, the powerful officials who do not want to rebel are actually useless to the country.
Useful.
Now that Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan are gone, the King of Chu is in control. He only knows how to come as he pleases and does not care about the overall situation. As a result, the vast Chu State was actually invaded by the remote Baiyue.
Fallen three times! What a shame and humiliation!
As a native of the Chu state, Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang could not remain indifferent when the country was in crisis. After asking for instructions from Xia Kuai Tian Yan, they summoned their disciples to come to help.
At this time, the King of Chu had led his army back to support. They were not worried that the Chu army would be defeated, but they wanted to prevent the Baiyue army from burning, killing and looting when they retreated.
Unexpectedly, Baiyue was in good order and retreated directly.
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang were not happy but were shocked.
The generals of Baiyue were rough and brutal, and would never have the restraint to advance and retreat freely. Everything must have been done by the Queen of Baiyue.
This not only reflects her absolute control over the army, but also shows that this woman must have a backup plan.
"Brother?"
The two of them returned to the farm base worriedly, but when they entered, they found Liu Ji dozing at the table.
This laziness in broad daylight made Chen Sheng quite displeased, and Wu Kuang also stepped forward to push Liu Ji.
"Ugh!"
Liu Ji woke up suddenly, and a red light burst out in his eyes, causing Wu Kuang to take a step back.
"Liu Ji!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang suddenly looked solemn: "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know what's wrong. I often fall asleep during this period and have some weird dreams..."
Liu Ji shook his head, looking puzzled.
"Could it be that he was plotted by Baiyue Gu, or was it the Yin Yang family?"
Wu Kuang was genuinely concerned.
"Ha! I'm a little person, why do I have to work so hard?"
Liu Ji smiled nonchalantly and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"Baiyue took the initiative to withdraw its troops."
The two explained the situation in detail, and Liu Ji's expression became solemn: "Retreating shows that the Queen of Baiyue knows how to advance and retreat, but why did she restrain her subordinate Qiu from making any mistakes? Is it possible that Baiyue wants to conduct a benevolent and righteous army?"
The three of them looked at each other, feeling ridiculous.
Before any action is taken, the people's sentiments must be examined first.
Although most of the various schools of thought oppose war and urge benevolence and righteousness, who can do it? On the contrary, it is the military strategists who use butcher methods to protect their families and the country.
Not to mention that Baiyue was originally a barbaric land, and now it is really incomprehensible to behave like this.
This doubt was finally answered a few days later, after King Chu entered the city:
"No! The king wants to kill all the people who worship the God of Fire!"
…
"The Baiyue thieves are running very fast. One day, I will kill them all and leave no one behind!"
The King of Chu walked like a tiger and sat on the throne again. He was full of energy and strong. He was completely different from the dying old man a few months ago.
Compared with the careless use of Fangli's divine power at the beginning, King Chu has begun to master this power.
Every time a war breaks out, with a wave of his hand, the enemy will get drunk and be defeated. They will wipe out the rebels along the way, which can be said to be devastating.
This also made King Chu's confidence rapidly expand.
At this moment, the eunuch came in and reported: "The ministers are outside asking for an audience!"
When the King of Chu walked out of the palace, he saw the ministers kneeling on the ground and asked in surprise: "What happened?"
An old minister said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty! We are here to intercede on behalf of the people and seek His grace!"
"Those people will never be forgiven!"
The King of Chu's face darkened: "I have made repeated orders, but there are no more six gods. All sacrifices have been changed to Fang Lie, especially the God of Fire. They are not allowed to sacrifice to the God of Fire. How dare they continue to sacrifice to the God of Fire and seek death under the bribes of hundreds of tribesmen!"
The ministers were filled with confusion.
Fangli is the god of wine, so how can the whole country worship the god of wine instead of offering sacrifices to other gods?
Everybody drinks?
Then it won’t be a mess!
"Sacrificing sacrifices to Fang Lie means sacrificing sacrifices to me. Only then can I have endless power and become invincible in the world!"
Seeing the silence of the ministers, the King of Chu was furious: "That demon girl has stolen the position of the God of Fire. Now you are letting the people sacrifice to her, isn't it to strengthen her? Kill the few, and then tell the big Chu, let's see who dares to sacrifice to the fire."
god!"
"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"
The old minister was shocked.
Although the news that the God of Fire was stolen by Baiyue came back, it was only circulated among high-level officials, and the common people did not know about it and could not know about it.
But now if the King of Chu really orders mass killings, wouldn't it confirm the fact that the ancestors of Chu have been deprived of their divine thrones?
That kind of blow can be described as devastating.
However, the King of Chu could not listen to anything.
At the beginning of his life, he was a hostage in the Qin State and was frightened. Without Chun Shen Jun, he would have been detained there for the rest of his life. Therefore, when he ascended the throne, he named Chun Shen Jun as Ling Yin and allowed him to take charge of the power.
As a result, not only the power at the top and bottom of the Chu State was controlled by Chun Shenjun, but even the prince was born instead.
This mediocre life is so useless, but in the end, he is about to die of old age, successfully become a god, and suddenly become an extremely strong man, fighting against thousands of armies. I am going crazy as a teenager. This kind of truth, the feeling of Shunchang's rebellious death deeply impressed the King of Chu.
Intoxicated.
So he issued two orders.
The first is to kill!
The second is to recruit Xiang Yan into the palace!
When Xiang Yan came to the audience with hope, King Chu's words made him despair:
"I want you to lead the army to destroy the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi, and seize the Canglong Qisu inheritance!"
