Judging from the entire battle situation, it was only a matter of time before Qiao County was captured by Wei general Sima Shang.

Let’s talk about Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang. After Lord Xiang Pei of Xinyang led his army southward from Qiao County, Wei generals Huan Hu and Chen Shou attacked "Ruyin". The Chu general guarding this city was "Ruyin".

The only surviving third son of "Jun Xiang Gong" is "Xiang Xing". Xiang Gong's eldest son and second son were both killed when Xiong Tuo united with Wei to attack Song. This made Xiong Tuo dare not face Ruyin Jun Xiang.

Christine.

However, when Xiong Tuo led his army to seize power in Eastern Chu, Ruyin Lord Xiang Gong still brought his third son Xiang Xing and led his army to respond to Xiong Tuo, which moved Xiong Tuo deeply. "PS: See the previous article for details."

But now, Xiang Gong, Lord of Ruyin, has died due to old age, and his third son has inherited the title of Lord of Yi. This time he resolutely leads the Yi army, desperately resists the army of Wei general Huan Hu, and supports Lord Xiang Pei of Xinyang in the south.

Gained time.

Otherwise, if Huan Hu captures Ruyin and then presses on Xia Cai and Shou Ying, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Didn't Huan Hu's army go to attack Chuxi? Could it be that Pingyu has been captured by the Wei army?"

Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei was quite surprised that Huan Hu appeared in Ruyin area.

To be honest, he never thought that Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu in Western Chu, could hold off the Wei army under the attack of Shen Yu, Huan Hu and other Wei generals. After all, Xiong Hu only had some talent in managing fiefdoms, but in terms of leadership,

When fighting, it is better to fight against Lian, Yu Ji, Ni Yu and other Chu generals.

Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei was just surprised that Wei General Huan Hu could lead his army to attack the city before Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu fled to Ruyin.

You know, based on Xiang Pei's understanding of Xiong Hu, the latter is the most life-saving on the battlefield. Once the war goes bad, he is often the first to escape. So in the second half of the "Countries Conquer Wei", Xiong Hu

Although Hu was driven around by Wei's fierce general Wu Ji, Wu Ji had no chance to capture and kill Xiong Hu.

Therefore, Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, was quite surprised not to see Xiong Hu in Ruyin.

Until later, some defeated soldiers from Pingyu told Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei that Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu had died in Pingyu County. This shocked Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei: Xiong Hu, who had always been greedy for life, this time

He was so brave that he died tragically in Pingyu County and vowed not to surrender to Wei State?

"Lord Xiong Hu actually died in battle?"

Ruyinjun Xiang Xing is also in disbelief.

It has to be said that Xiong Hu, Lord of Pingyu, vowed not to surrender to Wei but fought to the death of Pingyu. This incident really shocked many soldiers of Chu State - because this was really not like Xiong Hu's character.

In contrast, Xiong Hu asked his sons, Xiong Miao and the others to defect to Shen Yu of the Wei army. This was more in line with Xiong Hu's character.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, sent someone to report the matter to Shoying.

A few days later, King Xiong Tuo of Chu received news from Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, and learned that Lord Pingyu, Xiong Hu, had died in Pingyu County in battle.

Just like Xiang Pei and Xiang Xing, King Xiong Tuo of Chu's first reaction was doubt after learning about this incident.

First of all, Xiong Hu is not that kind of warrior with a strong personality. Secondly, he also has connections in Wei State. It is hard to imagine that he would choose to die in battle.

Yes, choose to fight and die!

"..."

Holding tightly the letter from Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei, Chu King Xiong Tuo's hands were trembling.

I remember a while ago, when Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu sent a letter to Shoying, telling him that "Chu Shui Lord is dead", Xiong Tuo was very angry about it and scolded Xiong Hu in public. But in the final analysis, Xiong Tuo

Tuo's feelings towards Xiong Hu are much higher than towards Chu Shuijun.

In Xiong Tuo's heart, what does Chu Shuijun mean?

After the death of Guling Lord Xiong Wu, the nobles of the Chu State who had been secretly supporting the former had already defected to Xiong Tuo. Even the Ji Lian family, the Ji family, the Lian family, and the Huang family who had strongly supported Xiong Wu.

The family also surrendered to Xiong Tuo after being completely desperate. In this case, whether to kill Chu Shuijun or not, it actually doesn't matter much.

After Chu Shuijun was defeated, the reason why Xiong Tuo pardoned Chu Shuijun was that on the one hand, he considered that killing Chu Shuijun would not be able to reverse the defeat of the war, and on the other hand, he was prepared to keep Chu Shuijun.

Use it later'.

For example, the strategy of training soldiers proposed by Chu Shuijun aroused strong resentment among the Chu people. However, it is undeniable that it also allowed the Chu State to train more soldiers in less than a year.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were sent out.

As for the resentment of the people, Xiong Tuo could blame it on Lord Chu Shui afterwards and use his life to alleviate the resentment of the people.

Unexpectedly, Chu Shuijun was ambushed and killed by the Wei army when he was returning to Chu from Ba.

Although Xiong Tuo later blamed Chu Shuijun for all the faults of the military training strategy, it cannot be denied that the effect was greatly reduced compared to executing Chu Shuijun in front of the people.

Unlike Lord Shui of Chu, the death of Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu made King Xiong Tuo of Chu feel heartbroken.

You must know that he and Xiong Hu have had a relationship for more than forty years.

Xiong Tuo, who was still in an ignorant period, was thrown into the care of his uncle, Runan Jun Xiong Hao, because of his concubine relationship. During that period, Xiong Tuo met Xiong Hu.

Back then, Xiong Hu was the dominant figure in Runan, and Pingyu was the leader of the Xiong clan's children. The first time he and Xiong Tuo met, they were not on good terms. In fact, they even had several fights when they were young.

, and because of this they were punished by their uncle, Runan Jun Xiong Hao, to kneel under the corridor outside the house.

But as the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. After getting along for a while, Xiong Hu and Xiong Tuo gradually became as close as brothers.

Xiong Tuo still remembers that when he arrogantly shouted "I want to become the monarch of Da Chu" when he was young, Xiong Hu answered him with firm words: "If you want to be the monarch of Da Chu, I will help you."

A helping hand!”

From then on, Xiong Hu firmly supported Xiong Tuo. Whether Xiong Tuo united with Wei to attack Song, or later turned to attack Wei after being tricked by Wei King Zhao Si, Xiong Hu spared no effort to help Xiong Tuo.

Until today.

Throughout the Chu Kingdom, Xiong Hu was Xiong Tuo's most trusted and closest relative. Even though they had been somewhat unhappy because of Lord Chu Shui, Xiong Tuo never doubted that Xiong Hu would betray him.

Facts have proved that Xiong Hu did not betray Xiong Tuo until the end of his life.

only……

"Bang!"

After sending everyone away, Chu King Xiong Tuo punched the table in front of him.

"Seriously? You have to know that I am just a concubine. If I want to seize the king's power, I believe there will be countless people in Chu Dong to hinder me... maybe, you will die because of me."

"Haha, so what? My uncle said that I am not material to be a king, nor have the possibility of becoming a king, but you are different. In this case, of course I will help you!"

"Huh? If you and I fail to achieve our goals, that would be rebellion..."

"The worst I can do is die before you! What do those people say? Oh, my ministers who died before the king deserved to die!"

"You? Died? Hey, I don't believe it..."

"Asshole, asshole, asshole!"

After scolding three times in a row, King Chu Xiong Tuo had tears in his eyes, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and murmured in a low voice.

"If our great state of Chu really falls, it is enough for one of us to die for our country. Why do you need to die to show your ambition? Idiot! Why do you refuse to surrender to Wei?" "Only you, even if I surrender to Wei, I will not resent you for it..."

"Damn..."
