Chapter 80 (1/2)
”The king is wise!”
All the important officials in the court of the state of Chu quickly flattered him and said that Qu Boyong was full of sorrow when he saw it, and only Xiong Huai, king of Chu, felt benefited.
However, the three Chu kingdom people in the state of Chu felt sad.
The state of Chu has been declining, only relying on the three families of Qu, Zhao and Jing in Chu can support it.
The rest of the so-called court officials could not count on it at all. They formed parties and engaged in private business, putting family interests above the interests of Chu state.
But the king can't see this. When can the state of Chu become truly powerful and no longer strong in the outside world, is it really necessary to carry out a comprehensive bone scraping therapy as in the state of Qin?
However, Qu Boyong's heart was full of worries, not only about the fate of Chu, but also about his son.
Since this period of time, Qu Boyong has never seen his second son Qu Yuan.
After sending people to inquire, they found out that their son actually went to Wuguan near the border between the state of Qin and the state of Chu with his sweetheart some time ago.
Qu Boyong knew in his heart that his son Qu Yuan had been kidnapped by the soldiers of Qin who were wandering nearby.
As for the claim that his son Qu Yuan was killed, Qu Boyong does not believe it. Qu Boyong knows Qu Yuan's intelligence.
Once he was in danger of life and could not resist, Qu Yuan would tell his family background.
At that time, both Qin generals and Qin soldiers will not hurt Qu Yuan because of their existence as a general of Chu, so as to fight for bargaining chips for future negotiations between Qin and Chu.
”General Qu, according to the old general's opinion, who should be sent to join the army this time?”
”Wang Ling, the general of Wuguan, is a tough opponent. He has 70000 elite soldiers of Qin army in hand. If the general of Wuguan is incompetent, I'm afraid that 300000 troops can't do anything about Wang Ling!”
Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, said that as the leader of a country, he was naturally very interested in Wuguan, which was originally the territory of Chu state. He also had a lot of knowledge about it. Naturally, he knew that Wang Ling was not easy to deal with.
”Back to the king, this time, the old minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle in person!”
Qu Boyong said that this remark directly set off a great disturbance on the court Hall of the state of Chu.
”The old general can't do it. The old general is the pillar stone of the country. How can we move lightly?”
”As the senior generals of the three dynasties, the old generals are dedicated to the state of Chu. Now that they are old, how can I bear to let the old general go to battle again?”
Xiong Huai quickly said that although Xiong Huai was a bit dull and dull, he still knew who was really good to him in the court.
Qu Boyong is definitely the leader of Qu family, a branch of the royal family of Chu, and all of them are from his own family. Therefore, Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, has more trust in the Qu family.
”In reply to the king, it seems that the tomb of the general of Wuguan garrison does not have many brilliant achievements in the Qin army, but it is a fierce general who has been promoted step by step with his military achievements.”
”Besides, there are 70000 elite soldiers of the Qin army in his hand, and the old minister sent people to spy on the information of this man in the Royal Mausoleum before, and found that he was fighting steadily. If there was no victory, he would not lead the army to attack actively!”
”The battle once seemed very rigid, but once we caught the fighter plane, we would launch a thunderbolt and directly defeat the other party. If someone took charge of Wuguan, it would be even more difficult for the state of Chu to take down Wuguan!”
”Therefore, only the old minister is in charge in person. As long as the news comes from within the state of Qin that the king of Qin is willing to cede his territory, the old minister will lead 300000 elite troops directly to Wuguan to open the way for the state of Chu to go northward.”
