One of the Three Pillars of Chu State, Shoulingjun Jingshe.
It has to be said that in front of this person, not to mention the always arrogant and conceited Guling Lord Xiong Wu, even Juyang Lord Xiong Li showed an attitude of being willing to be last.
You know, Juyang Jun Xiong Li is the Yijun of Juyang County!
"Huh?"
At this time, Shouling Junjingshe noticed Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo staring at him, and was slightly surprised.
Of course he recognized Xiong Tuo, but he was wondering why Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, who was staring at him so hard, had such sad eyes and his eyes were slightly moist.
After Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, Lord Shouling guessed the reason: maybe Xiong Tuo had made a mistake and mistook his Jingshe for the long-dead Lord of Runan, Xiong Hao.
"well."
Jing She sighed secretly.
The Mi surname in Chu State has many branches, including the Xiong family, Qu family, Jing family, Xiang family, etc. However, most of the Mi surname branches have a bad relationship with the Xiong family, including the Jing family where Jingshe is located.
The Jing family felt that the Xiong family valued the power of the Chu State too seriously, and their punishment to the Qu family back then was too harsh, without any sympathy for the same clan, which was chilling.
Therefore, the Jing clan with the surname Mi rarely intervenes in the affairs of the Xiong clan.
Take the matter at hand as an example. If this battle had not been related to the life and death of Chu State, Jing She would probably not bother to come out.
But it is undeniable that even the Xiong clan, which has gained a lot of notoriety in the Chu Kingdom, has produced many wise men, such as the current Lord of Diyang, Xiong Shang, and the former Lord of Runan, Xiong Hao, etc.
However, compared to Xiong Shang and Xiong Hao, Jing She had a better impression of Xiong Hao.
After all, in Jing She's opinion, Diyang Lord Xiong Shang is at best a brave general, while Runan Lord Xiong Hao is a human ruler who knows how to govern a country.
Can a general and a ruler be compared?
It's a pity that the king of Runan, Xiong Hao, is not the king of Chu.
"..."
After taking a deep look at Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, Shouling Lord Jingshe stepped forward to greet Juyang Lord Xiong Li: "Brother, please don't blame Jingshe for his late arrival."
The "brother" he said was just a polite word. After all, although Jing She showed respect for Ju Yang Lord Xiong Li, he had no intention of getting close to him.
The meaning can be seen by others at a glance.
Fortunately, Ju Yangjun Xiong Li is also self-aware. How could he not know that his reputation in the aristocratic circle is really not good?
Compared to his nephew, Lord Yangcheng, Xiong Tuo, who was indifferent to him, Lord Shouling in front of him was already extremely polite to him.
Thinking of this, Xiong Li quickly said: "Where, Lord Jingshe personally came to save Juyang County, Xiong Li is extremely grateful, how can there be any reason to blame?"
"Save Juyang County...?"
Jingshe smiled with unknown meaning and muttered to himself: I came here for the Great Chu State, how could I come for you, Juyang County?
But of course he couldn't say this directly.
"Master Jingshe has worked hard all the way, so I have prepared a bottle of wine at my house to welcome Master Jingshe."
"Thank you." Jing She thanked him with a cupped hand.
Half an hour later, everyone greeted Shouling Jun Jingshe and arrived at Juyang Jun Xiong Li's mansion in the city.
Just as Ju Yangjun Xiong Li said, he had already prepared wine and food in the hall, but the food was definitely not some thin wine, but an extremely sumptuous banquet.
Looking at the dozens of dishes on the table, Jing She frowned secretly.
Because as far as he knew, the recent war situation in Juyang County was not very good: Juyang County had no achievements; Xiang Pei, the king of Xinyang, was restrained by the Wei cavalry; Xiang Mokong, who was stationed at Fangzhong, had forty or fifty.
Tens of thousands of troops, but they are unable to protect themselves because of lack of food.
However, at Xiong Li's house in Juyang County, the dishes are so rich, including many delicacies from the mountains and seas that are difficult to find in Juyang.
If you have this spare time, wouldn't you think of a way to repel the Wei army? Wouldn't you send troops to help Xiang Pei? Wouldn't you send someone to send a batch of grain and grass to Xiang Mo?
"..."
Looking at the dishes on the table, Jing She sighed secretly. She felt that the dishes on the table looked delicious, but they were really hard to swallow.
It has to be said that Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan are worthy of being high-ranking officials from the palace. They are good at observing words and expressions. When they saw Jingshe looking at the dishes on the table in front of him without saying anything, he guessed that Master Jingshe was probably murmuring in his heart.
, so Gongyang Yun immediately changed the subject and asked: "Master Jingshe, didn't Master Qu Ping come with you?"
After hearing this, Jingshe temporarily put aside his unhappiness and explained truthfully: "A month ago, West Vietnam rebelled again. Mr. Qu Ping and I sent troops to suppress it. A few days ago, we finally temporarily curbed the momentum of the West Vietnam rebels.
Therefore, Lord Qu Ping advised me to take advantage of this free time and come to Juyang immediately... But I don’t know what the current situation is in Juyang County?"
To be honest, Jing She knew the general situation of the battle in Juyang County, but he had no way of knowing the specific situation. After all, it was impossible to note everything in the battle report in detail.
Upon hearing Jing She's inquiry, everyone in the hall, except Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, felt a little embarrassed.
Why?
The reason is very simple. For example, Ju Yangjun Xiong Li clearly has 100,000 Ju Yang troops, which is enough to fight the Wei army. However, in order to protect his private wealth, this king of Yi selfishly lets 100,000 Ju Yang troops guard it.
This is Juyang County.
For another example, Lord Guling Xiong Wu had vowed before that he could defeat the Wei prince Ji Run, but in the end, the 80,000 soldiers under his command did not even hurt a single soldier of the Wei army, and were destroyed by a flood.
The whole army was almost annihilated.
Another example is Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan, who recruited some assassins to assassinate Ji Run, the young master of Wei. Now, the black crows of Wei directly participated in the battle. The Chu army in Juyang County had an unknown number of hundreds of generals.
, thousands of people will be assassinated, so that several Chu soldiers are panicked.
Because of these reasons, when Jing She asked this question, everyone in the hall was silent. Only Xiong Tuo, the Lord of Yangcheng, was drinking by himself, trying to calm down because he had mistakenly looked at Jing She.
The excitement caused by becoming his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao.
The silence of these people made Shouling Junjingshe frown unconsciously and couldn't help but ask: "Is the war situation in Juyang County extremely unfavorable?"
Seeing that Jingshe might have misunderstood, Gongyang Yun quickly explained: "Master Jingshe has misunderstood. There are still hundreds of thousands of available troops in Juyang County..."
With that said, he quickly told Jing She about the recent battle situation in detail, so as to avoid misunderstandings by Master Three Pillars.
After listening to Gong Yangyun's explanation, Jingshe finally understood that the reason why Juyang County was so passive was that there was a lack of someone who could take charge of the overall situation.
Juyang Lord Xiong Li is a coward who is pampered and ignores him; Guling Lord Xiong Wu is so happy about his success that he just suffered a tragic defeat at the hands of Wei Gongzi Ji Run because he underestimated the enemy, and his prestige is not enough to command several armies here; while Gongyang Yun and Gong Yangyun are
Yang Zan was a court official and was not good at military affairs; as for Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, it was because of his unclear relationship with Wei Gongzi Ji Run that he could not convince the public.
In other words, Juyang County is a piece of loose sand, no wonder it cannot pose any threat to the Wei army.
After thinking for a while, Jing She stroked the mustache under his lips and asked seriously: "Wei Gongzi Ji Run... is this boy really so powerful?"
After hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo and Guling Lord Xiong Wu. After all, these two brothers have the most say in this matter.
At this time, Xiong Tuo sneered and said: "Let Xiong Wu speak for himself. It was two years ago that I lost to Ji Run. I can no longer remember it clearly. Xiong Wu lost a while ago. He was better than me, Xiong Tuo." It’s clearer.”
"hateful!"
Guling Lord Xiong Wu cursed in his heart, but in front of Jing She, he did not dare to attack Xiong Tuo.
It's not that he is afraid of Jing She, it's just that Jing She's reputation in Chu country is so great that Xiong Wugui, the son of the Queen of Chu, dare not show a side that is not in line with the noble demeanor in front of Lord Jing She.
"Ji Run... is really amazing."
Because of Jingshe's relationship, Xiong Wu abandoned his personal prejudices. In this case, even he had to admit that the Wei Gongzi Ji Run who is now sitting in Zhi County is indeed the best he has ever encountered so far. , the most resourceful and invulnerable enemy.
Enduring the depression in his heart, he told Jing She exactly how he lost to Ji Run.
Jing She's face turned serious after hearing these words.
Because Jing She had only known that Xiong Wu had been defeated by Ji Run, so that his 80,000 troops were almost wiped out, but Jing She didn't know exactly how he was defeated.
But now, it was actually heard that Ji Run took advantage of Xiang Mo's water attack strategy. How could this not shock Jing She?
After all, this means that Wei Gongzi Ji Run's insight is even greater than that of their Chu State general Xiang Mo.
"I can't believe that even General Xiang Mo actually suffered a loss..." Jing She murmured to himself, then frowned and asked: "How is the war situation south of the Huihe River?"
Hearing this, Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan looked at each other, and the latter sighed and said: "Master Jingshe, after the Wei army crossed the river, they did not set up a camp. They attacked and harassed various armies all day long, and did not confront our side... Our side... Now, there is nothing we can do!" After saying that, he explained the specific situation to Jing She.
"Huh?"
Jing She was slightly surprised when he heard this. After all, the Wei army's fighting method was somewhat similar to that of Wu Yue.
But the problem is that the people in Wuyue are all people of Wuyue, so they will naturally support the local army. However, the people in Juyang County are all Chu people. Isn't there a Chu person who can inform the Chu army?
When he explained the confusion in his heart, the room fell silent.
Jing She understood immediately, glanced at the embarrassed Ju Yangjun Xiong Li calmly, shook his head secretly and sighed.
After thinking about it, he said sternly: "It doesn't matter, Wei Jun's tactics are difficult to carry out in the long term... It is already mid-October, and winter will come in a few days. By then, heavy snow will block the roads. If Wei Jun does not build a camp in advance, They can only freeze to death in the ice and snow... If I were waiting for you, I would set fire to all the mountains and forests nearby. Ignore the Wei army, and wait until it snows heavily, and the Wei army will die."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, and then looked overjoyed.
Among them, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, glanced at Jingshe in horror, and secretly praised in his heart: It is worthy of being the Three Pillars, and he hit the nail on the head!
At this time, Shouling Junjingshe ignored everyone's shock and continued to talk to himself: "... This is one. The second is to transport food to the end of the room bell... The room bell is not suitable for garrisoning. There are too many troops, but Xiang Mo insists on choosing this place. He must have his own intentions. At present, he is suffering from a lack of food in the army. As long as Juyang transports food and grass to him, his army can regain its fighting strength and pose a threat to the Wei army. ...Don't worry about Xiang Pei. Although Xiang Pei only has 50,000 troops, he has cities and food. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for Wei's cavalry to conquer..."
Listening to Jing She's eloquent analysis of the war situation in Juyang County, everyone in the room was mesmerized.
They felt strangely that the originally extremely unfavorable battle situation, but when Jing She said this, it seemed as if all the previous unfavorable situations were nothing.
