Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pang Zi Makes Chu
The State of Chu and the State of Qin are now two barbarians who are very friendly.
Su Qin once said: "If you are vertical, you will be the king of Chu, and if you are horizontal, you will be the emperor of Qin", Chu and Qin are powerful barbarians with a vast territory and millions of armor, but since the time of King Huai of Chu, Chu has always been at a disadvantage in the war with Qin. King Huai of Chu once used Qu Yuan to change the law, but the nobles in the country resisted frantically, making the change fail, it was the period when the Qin State and the Qi State competed for power, because the Chu State and the Qi State had a close relationship, Zhang Yi went to the Chu State as a lobbyist.
Zhang Yi asked King Chu Huai to retreat from Qi and sever relations with Qi on the condition of offering 600 li of land, and King Chu Huai immediately agreed when he heard it, but after the diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi broke down, Zhang Yi immediately changed his words and changed 600 li to 6 li. The angry King of Chu Huai crusaded against the untrustworthy Qin State, but returned with a crushing defeat.
Later, the king of Qin invited the king of Chu Huai to come to the alliance to end the grievances between the two countries, and the simple-minded king of Chu Huai passed with a smile, but he was caught by the king of Qin and stayed in the state of Qin, making the state of Chu leaderless and the national strength declining rapidly. King Chu Huai angrily questioned King Qin: When the countries are in alliance, even the envoys can't be harmed, how can they detain the princes who come to the alliance?
King Qin smiled and told him: Isn't this a new concept created by your Chu State? At the beginning, King Chu Cheng took advantage of the alliance to detain Song Xianggong and opened up a new road for the world.
King Qingxiang of Chu didn't think about saving his father, he just wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and in his time, Bai Qi attacked the state of Chu, and the state of Chu moved its capital to Chen, and even the cemetery of the royal family was captured by the Qin people.
After hearing the news that the king of Qin wanted to take the army of Korea and Wei to fight against Chu with Wu'an Jun Bai as the general, the king of Chu was frightened and hurriedly sent the envoy Huang Xie to Qin State, Huang Xie was a person who could speak well and was knowledgeable, and the king of Chu felt that he must have a way. After Huang Xie rushed to the Qin State, he hurriedly persuaded the King of Qin.
He said: "O king, you see that Chu and Qin are the most powerful countries, we are at war, and the last one to gain is the country of the Three Jins, you better let Wu Anjun rest at home, don't come out and wander."
As soon as the King of Qin heard this, what he said made sense, so he told Huang Xie: It's okay to cease the war, but you need to send protons to the Qin State, and you, even if you are capable, you also have to follow, as long as the Chu State no longer provokes the Qin State, the widow will not use Wu Anjun!
So, Gongzi Xiong Wan and Huang Xie came to Qin as a proton, and stayed for ten years, after the death of King Chu Qingxiang, Xiong Wan wanted to return to China to inherit the throne, but King Qin did not allow it, Huang Xie first went to persuade Fan Ju, and then used one hand to steal the beam and change the pillar, so that Xiong Wan pretended to be a groom and left the Qin State, but he stayed here, and after Xiong Wan left, he ran to apologize to the King of Qin.
King Qin originally wanted to kill him, but Fan Ju dissuaded King Qin, Fan Ju just looked at Huang Xie with a smile and said, "If he goes back, it must be Ling Yin of Chu State, this is a good thing." ”
Xiong completed as the king of Chu, and Huang Xie became Ling Yin, the twelve counties of Huaibei, and the number of Chun Shenjun. Huang Xie became Ling Yin, loyal to the implementation of the Qin State friendly strategy, Fan Ju in order to test him, once sent troops to attack the Chu State, Huang Xie immediately ceded the state tomb to the Qin State, did not resist at all, seeing Huang Xie wagging his tail so well, Fan Ju did not find any trouble with the Chu State, and set his sights on the Sanjin region.
Pang Xuan had long thought that with such a Ling Yin who was dedicated to the Qin State, it was very difficult for the Chu State to send troops. But he didn't expect that he didn't even see the king of Chu, and as soon as he came to the royal capital Chen, he was invited to Huang Xie's mansion and put under house arrest. Every day's meals were delivered to him on time, but he couldn't go out, and Huang Xie didn't come to meet him, he stayed in the inner room all day, and there were more than a dozen warriors of the Chu State standing in the courtyard, staring at them.
Pang Xuan's life was very comfortable, sitting in the inner room, eating and drinking, he didn't seem to have the slightest worry, he took Mao Sui, but at the moment he looked a little uneasy, Mao Sui stood by the window, observed the situation outside, and said to Pang Xuan; "Pang Gong, I think Huang Xie wants to treat us as a gift and dedicate it to the Qin State." , Pang Xuan smiled and said, "What do you think the proton will do in a hostile country?" ”
Mao Sui was stunned for a moment, hurriedly reacted, and said: "After this proton ascended the throne, he didn't see the courage to take revenge, but he became more and more friendly with the Qin State." ”
That's because all he can hear is the sound of negotiation and friendship.... Today, it's different. ”
In the palace, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie looked at the stubborn King of Chu in front of him, and his heart was full of confusion. Huang Xie and the King of Chu have been in the Qin State for nearly ten years, and the relationship between the two is very close, like brothers, so after Huang Xie served as Ling Yin, the King of Chu did not object to any of his proposals, but today, the King of Chu did not agree to send the envoy of the Zhao State to the Qin State. Huang Xie sighed and said helplessly: "King, I know what you think. "Yue e-book
"But now, it's not the time to be able to raise troops towards the Qin State." , Huang Xie is thin, not tall, sitting in front of the tall and handsome King of Chu, a head shorter, the King of Chu is tall, extremely burly, probably the one who is the most like a general among all the monarchs, and at this moment, the King of Chu is like a child, don't look around, pretend not to hear Huang Xie's advice.
"Great King, who in the State of Chu can be Wu Anjun's opponent? Can the soldiers of the Chu State be able to defeat the elite of the Qin State? How am I compared to the Prince? You and I have lived in the Qin State for so long, and the Qin State is strong, don't you know it? What the State of Chu needs is to recuperate, and when the time comes, the humiliation you suffered in the State of Qin will be returned to the State of Qin!! ”
"The state of Chu is getting weaker and weaker, and the state of Qin is getting stronger and stronger! When is the best time? Was it when King Qin plunged the short sword into my chest? Seeing the King of Chu so excited, Huang Xie was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I won't send the envoy of Zhao to Qin, but please think about it again, don't send troops to Qin, if you can find a general who can resist Wu Anjun, I won't dissuade you." ”
"People in high positions cannot start wars because of their own anger and pleasures, please keep in mind."
King Chu hesitated for a moment before he said, "Okay." ”
Huang Xie left the palace, and in the palace of Nuoda, only the king of Chu was left alone, and the king of Chu looked ahead in a daze, but he was caught in memories.
"You, a coward from the Chu State, still dare to be arrogant in the Qin State? Beat!! ”
"Hahaha, your eldest father, just died here, you see, he is locked here like a dog!"
"Come, strip him of his clothes, and see, what is the difference between the Chu people's things and ours!"
The king of Chu trembled, his trembling hands slowly wiped away the tears on his face, the experience in the Qin State brought a body of scars to the young prince of the Chu State, more serious scars, left in his heart, so far, he is inhumane and has no heirs.
Pang Xuan and Mao Sui finally met the tall and handsome King of Chu in the palace, the King of Chu is not a domineering person, Pang Xuan was just brought into the palace, the King of Chu walked up happily, enthusiastically helped Pang Xuan to sit down, Pang Xuan and Mao Sui can speak Chu language, but they did not expect that the King of Chu can also speak some Zhao words, after the two sides met, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and the King of Chu treated Pang Xuan like an elder.
It's just that whenever Pang Xuan talks about the war between Qin and Zhao, the king of Chu will seem a little hesitant and hurriedly change the topic.
From sunrise to day-to-day, the king of Chu still refused to talk about the alliance in detail.
Mao Sui slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to make a move.
Suddenly, a warrior hurriedly walked into the palace, saluted the king of Chu and said:
"Xunzi asks to see."
When the king of Chu heard this, he was a little incredulous, and hurriedly stood up and shouted happily: "Invite him into the palace!" ”
