Chapter 368 Snow falls in Yingdu

In the palace of the King of Chu, facing the prince of Qin, the young official, and the chief historian, Gongsun Jia, who suddenly asked for an audience, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had a look of extreme astonishment on his face.

"Is Qin really defeated at the hands of Wei?"

The critical situation faced by the Qin State has left the young master with no time to take care of anything else. At this moment, his face only has solemnity and a somewhat humble begging.

"In the battle of Jingshui, the main force of our Qin army suffered heavy losses, and a large area of ​​land in Guanzhong was lost to the hands of Wei. Qin is now in danger."

"Qin and Chu have always been related by marriage, and both countries also need to face the powerful enemy Wei. Once Qin is destroyed, Wei's next target will inevitably be Chu."

How could Xiong Liangfu, King of Chu, not understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold? It was just that he never expected that Qin would lose so miserably.

If we talk about the comparison of strength between the two countries, Wei State is indeed far superior to Qin State, but Qin State, which has been in the west for a long time and competes with Xirong, has always been powerful.

Even if Qin lost to Wei for a while, in Xiong Liangfu's view, it was just a gradual retreat and tenacious resistance. How could it suffer such a crushing defeat?

Unexpectedly, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had no intention of thinking about how to rescue Qin, his ally.

His eyes shifted to the young master and Gongsun Jia, who had anxious faces at this moment, and a look of hesitation appeared on the face of Chu King Xiong Liangfu.

"this……"

Seeing the hesitation on Xiong Liangfu's face, the young master's expression became more and more anxious, "I also ask the King of Chu to take care of the friendship between Qin and Chu and send troops to save our Qin country as soon as possible."

"Please also ask the King of Chu to save our Qin country."

The request from the young master, Gongsun Jia, made King Xiong Liangfu of Chu break away from his initial disbelief.

However, when his thoughts gradually became clearer and he took an overview of the situation facing Chu State, Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, only felt more anxious.

With no other choice, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had to respond to the two of them falsely, "Chu and Qin have been on good terms for generations. The kindness of Qin's support back then will definitely not be forgotten by our country Chu."

"It's just that sending reinforcements is of great importance after all. I still have to discuss it with the ministers."

"King Chu, where is our Qin country..."

As soon as King Xiong Liangfu of Chu said his words, the young master and young official who heard the meaning immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Gongsun Jia, who was standing next to him, stopped him.

"Sir, you must never do this."

While interrupting the Young Master with an almost imperceptible voice, Gongsun Jia looked at the King of Chu in front of him with a solemn face.

"I hope the King of Chu can really remember the friendship between Qin and Chu and send troops to save our Qin country as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the young master and young officer, whose eyes were full of unwillingness, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the hall.

Standing there silently, watching the two figures disappear before their eyes, a dignified look gradually appeared in Chu King Xiong Liangfu's eyes.

"Here comes someone, go and invite..."

In the main hall of the Chu Palace, many ministers of the Chu State gathered here because of an order from Chu King Xiong Liangfu.

Sitting on the throne, looking at the ministers below, Chu King Xiong Liangfu asked in a deep voice: "I wonder how the battle is going on the front line?"

As soon as King Chu's questioning voice fell, an important minister from the team below quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Zuo Tu is leading the main force of our Chu army, together with the Qi army, to confront the armies of Wei, Han, Yue and other countries."

"The country of Ba in the west suddenly sent troops to attack our country of Chu, and now they are fighting with our Chu army in Xiling."

"As for Ling Yin in the direction of Daliang..."

When the report came here, the minister looked at the King of Chu Xiong Liangfu who was looking more and more gloomy above him, and his voice suddenly stopped.

At this time, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu, whose mood was getting worse and worse because of one piece of news after another, noticed that there was no sound of reporting in his ears, and a voice full of dissatisfaction immediately rang out.

"How is your Ling Yin?"

Facing Xiong Liangfu's questioning, the minister had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "Ling Yin's army was blocked by Wei Xianggong Sun Qi at the front line of Daliang, making it difficult for him to take another step towards Wei."

"enough!"

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu suddenly roared, interrupting the Chu minister's report.

The raging fire burning in his eyes represents the heart of Chu King Xiong Liangfu at this moment.

Judging from the current war situation alone, it seems difficult for the Chu State to deal with enemies coming from all directions, so how can it mobilize troops to reinforce the Qin State.

But without Qin as an ally, and without the constraints from the west, Wei's next target would most likely be Chu.

Just when King Xiong Liangfu of Chu was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, an eunuch quickly came to his side.

"Your Majesty, the Young Master of Qin State wishes to see you."

"Tell him that I am discussing matters with the ministers and it is not convenient to see him at the moment." At this time, Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, who was obviously a little worried, had no intention of meeting the young master.

However, after hearing King Chu's order, the eunuch not only did not leave, but his face was full of embarrassment: "But..."

"But Your Majesty, Young Master Qin is already kneeling outside the main hall, and he also said..."

"say what?"

After hearing the eunuch's words, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had a vague feeling in his heart that things seemed to be developing in a bad direction.

"The prince of Qin said that if he didn't get any news from Chu about sending troops, he would kneel down outside the main hall."

"What!"

With a look of shock on his face, Chu King Xiong Liangfu walked out of the hall quickly without any hesitation.

Just as the eunuch said, outside the main hall of the Chu Palace at this moment, the young master was kneeling there with his upper body upright.

This situation made King Xiong Liangfu of Chu couldn't help but think of a person, Shen Baoxu, the former great official of Chu State.

After the great victory in the Battle of Baiju, the Wu army, led by general Sun Wu, marched directly into Yingdu, the capital of Chu.

Seeing that the country was in danger, Shen Baoxu personally went to Qin, his in-law of Chu, for help, and moved the then monarch of Qin, Qin Aigong, with his lamentations.

Now this scene is happening again between Qin and Chu, except that the place of request for help has been changed to Qin, and the former Shen Baoxu has become the current young master.

"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you!"



A low and tragic voice came out of the young master's mouth, and the song "No Clothes" appeared in the ears of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu.

In the past, the reinforcements sent by the Qin State sang this song "No Clothes" to help the Chu State regain its own land.

But now this war song was heard in the ears of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu. Although it was still full of tragedy and stirring, it was just a little more difficult.

At present, Chu State really has no spare power to help Qin State.

Just when King Xiong Liangfu of Chu didn't know what to do, a piece of pale white fell on his shoulders.

It's snowing!
