"Father!" Xiang Chao exclaimed and hurriedly picked up Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan's face was pale. He bit his lips tightly. He tried too hard and his lips were bleeding.

Xiang Chao was busy for a while and finally woke Xiang Yan up.

"Bang bang!" Xiang Yan woke up, and pounded her chest with mission, raised her head and shouted: "Tianhu Tianhu, why do I love my son!"

Xiang Yan didn’t have many children, and two of them died in one go, which was a huge blow to him. He said viciously: “No matter who you are, you must avenge your son’s revenge.”

"Father, this matter is the will of the emperor." Xiang Chao said hatefully, "I, Xiang, are loyal and determined to resist Qin, but in the end they end up like this. Is there any reason for nature?"

"Chao'er, don't talk nonsense." Xiang Yan shouted and said, "For my father, I have an army of 960,000. Even if the emperor has any dissatisfaction, he will only endure it and will not do so."

Xiang Yan could understand it, but his confidence quickly shook Xiang Chao's words. Xiang Chao said: "Father, you don't think about it. You hold an army of 960,000. That's eight or nine out of ten of the soldiers in the country of Great Chu. Can you rest assured? He will definitely find a way to check and balance you. Those people said they wanted to invite the second and third brothers into the palace. This is for quality. It's just because the soldiers were eager to save people, those people killed the second and third brothers."

"This..." Xiang Yan thought that this made sense.

The troops he held were eight or nine out of ten of the total forces of Chu State. King Kaoli of Chu did not have the power to check and balance. Capturing his two sons as hostages was also a means, and this statement made sense.

"Your Majesty is to take advantage of the idea that Ah Father thought this was not a good opportunity to do this." Xiang Chao cried and said, "Ah Father, why don't you take this opportunity to rebel."

"Shut up." Xiang Yanchen shouted, like thunder roaring.

"Father, you are a loyal minister, but do you still think you are a loyal minister? Before you defeat the Qin army, the emperor is so suspicious of you. If you defeat the Qin army, the reputation of him is at its peak, can he trust you again? By then, I, Xiang family, will be finished." Xiang Chao is also a shrewd person with unique vision.

"..." Xiang Yan was speechless.

Even if Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo were not killed by King Kaoli of Chu, if this happens, King Kaoli of Chu will greatly reduce his trust in Xiang Yan. For King Kaoli of Chu, it is hard to say whether Xiang Yan thought it was his attack. The complete method is to alienate Xiang Yan and suppress Xiang Yan.

If Xiang Yan defeated the Qin army this time, then Xiang Yan's reputation would be at its peak and it would be even more difficult to control, and King Kaoli of Chu would be even more ruthless when suppressed.

"I will talk about this later. Now we should make the decision to defeat the Qin army." Xiang Yan pondered for a while.

Even if King Kaolii of Chu was suspicious of him, it would be a matter of the future. If the Qin army cannot be defeated now and there is nothing left, Xiang Yan can still distinguish between priorities.

"Son." Xiang Yan's tears flowed down when he thought of his two sons who died tragically. In his heart, he didn't even do anything to stabilize the morale of the army.

Rumors broke out in the Chu army, causing panic and unstable morale.

"Do you know? Qu Jingzhao was killed by the emperor three times, saying that they were respectful to their own troops and wanted to cede land and become king."

"No way? Qu Jingzhao's three families are a great family in the Great Chu, and they are loyal and kind for generations. How could they do such things?"

"Loyalty? You can say it out loud. Qu Jingzhao's three clans are borers of the Great Chu. They are not loyal to the Great Chu, they are loyal to their fiefdoms, their power, and their money. You don't think about Qu Jingzhao's three clans who have stole fiefs and many high-ranking officials who have stole the titles. If you go to the court, you will find that two or three ministers in the court are from Qu Jingzhao's three clans."

"This is also reasonable. Qu Jingzhao, Huang Xiang, the five major families who have controlled the government, even if they are in power, they will have no choice but to do so. If they are loyal and kind, they should recommend wise men to the Great Chu and let talented people become ministers. They would just keep pushing their family into the court, hoping to make the whole family be ministers."

"As you say that, the whole family is minister, and they will not become royal families?"

"It's just that there's no chance. If there's a chance, they will definitely become the royal family."

"According to me, there is not a single good thing in the five major families. Qu Jingzhao's third family is like this, and Huang is even more despicable. The king regards Huang Xie as his closest friend. It's really unexpected that he wants to usurp the country."

"You have said this a little bit. The five major families still have good things, so the Xiang family is good. The general is dedicated to being a minister and loyal to the great Chu to fight against Qin."

"Do you know? The general also has ulterior motives. He holds an army of 960,000. Why doesn't he fight against the Qin army, but he doesn't fight here? He is not trying to gain a strong army and break the soil and make the king?"

"You are so brave, you dare to say that the general is not."

"You have really deceived the General, but you don't think about it. Is the Great Chu still strongly comparing him? At this time, he was doing whatever he wanted. I also heard that after the General took control of the heavy army, he wanted to secretly bring his family from Yingdu to the Huai River. Fortunately, the Lord had the foresight and sent someone to watch them and did not allow them to leave the city. However, the General's two sons relied on the power of the General and spoke rudely, and actually wanted to kill the King's envoy. During the dispute, the warrior who guarded the King's envoy accidentally killed the General's son. The General shouted and shouted that the Lord killed his son and wanted to avenge his son. He was looking for a verbal account of his self-respecting."

"In my opinion, the General has long been self-respecting. Otherwise, why wouldn't he take the initiative to send his son to the palace, but instead want to secretly get out of Yingdu? I really didn't expect that the General was such a treacherous minister. We were so blind to follow him."

All kinds of rumors spread, which not only made the soldiers of the Huang Si family of Qu Jingzhao panic, but even Xiang Yan was also caught.

The deaths of Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo turned out to be a lie that Xiang Yan wanted to gain a military force. This matter was reasonable, and many people really believed that Xiang Yan's prestige had dropped sharply.

In the Qin army camp, in the central army tent.

Qin Yiren was discussing with Wang Jian and Wei Liao.

"The rumors have been spread out, and the results are good. Even Xiang Yan's prestige has been greatly reduced. However, Xiang Yan is a sensible person after all, and he will soon understand that all this is dominated by the Qin Dynasty, which also means that the Qin Dynasty is going to attack him." Qin Yiren's eyes flashed and said, "The morale of the army is unstable. If the Qin army takes advantage of the situation and fights out, the Chu army will be defeated. In order to avoid the Chu army's defeat, the best way to deal with it now is to withdraw immediately. Therefore, assassinate immediately

Create panic and terror. Then, the army came out together to cover up the killing."

"What the emperor said is extremely true, and I agree." Wang Jian and Wei Liao agreed in unison.

So, a group of Qin army soldiers who had been selected had taken advantage of the night to quietly leave the Qin camp and enter the Chu army camp.

Although Xiang Yan was a nominal general, he could not order the soldiers of the Huang Si clan of Qu Jingzhao. Moreover, the entire Chu army, except for the Xiang army, was still purged, and the orders were not strict, and the military discipline was even loose. It was not difficult for the Qin army to sneak into the Chu army camp.

In the Qu family's barracks, the core Qu family who led the troops looked angry and cursed Xiang Yan: "Okay, Xiang Yan, you actually want to annex us, you think beautifully. Now that something happened to the clan leader and the others, Qu family is at the forefront of the storm, which is fat in the eyes of Xiang family. He will definitely not let me go. If you want to protect yourself, you can only connect with the Jing Zhao family. Well, even the Huang family must unite. Although the Huang family is hateful, it is worth it."

Rumors are everywhere, and naturally there is also the content of Xiang Yan's desire to annex Qu Jingzhao and Huang Si family. This is reasonable and it is impossible to believe the core children of the Qu family.

"Report to Master, Jing's family has sent someone." At this moment, a confidant soldier came in to report.

"Okay, please invite me quickly." Just as I was thinking of joining the Jing family to deal with Xiang Yan, Jing family sent someone, and the core children of Qu were very happy.

Soon, a group of people were led in. The one who came in was a tall middle-aged man, about thirty years old. There were about a dozen tall and strong men who came in with him.

"Let me tell me, how should I calculate?" The core son of Qu asked hurriedly without doubting him.

"Jing said..." The middle-aged man lowered his voice, as if he wanted to tell him quietly.

Such a matter involves a secret, and it is reasonable to tell him secretly. The core children of Qu had no doubts at all and hurriedly put their ears on.

"Puff!" The dull sound of flesh sounded, and the Qu family's children felt a pain in their chest. After a glance, they saw the middle-aged man holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the sharp sword had already pierced into his chest.

"Assassin, there is an assassin." The core soldier of Qu's family screamed, exhaling more and entering less, and he saw that he was not alive.

The screams alarmed the Qu soldiers and rushed in, surrounded these people, wanting to avenge them.

"You listen: Qu wants to rebel against Chu and surrender to Qin. We will come to kill him with the order of the general. This matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave quickly. If anyone does not follow you, I will definitely teach you to wait for your family to be destroyed." However, the middle-aged man shouted calmly.

"Nobody said that Qu's loyalty is Chu, how could he rebel against Chu?" The Qu's soldiers immediately shouted.

"You don't think about it. The leader of the Qu clan has been killed by the emperor. Can the Qu clan have a way out? They can't stay in Chu State, and they can only survive by seeking refuge in Qin State. Do you want to be buried with them?" The middle-aged man shouted.

Rumors were everywhere, including the chief of the Qu clan and many core children being killed. Those who were both sarcastic and obscene were told that they would not believe it.

"This..." The Qu soldiers hesitated.

"No matter whether their treason is true or false, the head of the Qu clan and the core children will be killed, and the Qu clan will be finished. If you follow the Qu clan again, there will be only one way to die. Do you ignore your parents, wife and children?" said the middle-aged man again.

This is very reasonable. No matter whether Qu's rebellion against Chu is true or false, the clan leader and the core children of the clan are dead. It is inevitable that Qu's family will be over. Following Qu's words will definitely not end well. Although they can't be afraid of death, they cannot ignore their parents, wives and children.

"Let's go." The Qu soldiers immediately dispersed and left.

Similar assassinations continued to occur in the Chu military camp, and there were countless important children of Qu Jingzhao and Huang Xiang who died under the assassin's sword and generals.
