On the side of Xuanguo, King Xuan is preparing to carry out a nationwide rectification of officials, which will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, because this vassal state, which has been inherited for a hundred years, is too deeply rooted in the elite.

However, King Xuan's determination this time can be seen, with the royal power in her hands now, all this is not a problem, and there will inevitably be some force suppression.

After several wars, the war-torn Central Plains seemed to have been temporarily calm.

During this period of time, the nations were relatively silent and carried out their own development.

But under this calm, there are undercurrent fluctuations.

Spirit Country.

Since the extermination of the ghost clan, the national strength of the Spirit Kingdom has been further enhanced, and it has become the overlord of the east in the true sense.

In the court, the Huan envoy was in an audience to represent King Huan in order to seek friendship between the two countries.

"Your Highness is wise and powerful, eloquent and strategic, and is the first male lord who deserves to be the first male lord today, and also the most respected monarch in my king's life......"

After making the spirit king happy, he also took out a silk book and presented it respectfully with both hands: "This is a list of gifts from my king to His Royal Highness, please take a look at Your Highness." ”

"Bring it in."

"Yes."

After the attendants respectfully placed the gift list on the king's case, the spirit king also picked it up and looked at it carefully.

This gift list, the gift is very heavy, from the attitude of Huan, this has tended to pay tribute.

But King Huan has no choice, the ghost clan fights, the Huan country not only has a sharp reduction in troops, the people's morale is unstable, but also the national strength is paralyzed, and it is impossible to recover without three or five years.

Afraid and worried about the Qin State, King Huan is now in urgent need of a backer.

And under Fang today, the person who can confront Qiang Qin head-on is undoubtedly a powerful spirit country.

After reading the gift list, King Ling also smiled heartily and said: "The envoy is polite, Brother Huan is so attentive, this king deserves it." ”

"Where, where, my king sincerely wants to be friendly with His Royal Highness the Spirit King, these gifts are also deserved." Huan said with a smile.

"Haha!" The Spirit King was pleased again: "Good! That being the case, please rest assured that Lingguo will always be the most reliable friend of Huanguo! ”

When the envoy heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "In addition, in order to show the good of the alliance, my king is also ready to hold the crown prince hostage to your country, and I have to trouble His Royal Highness to take care of one or two." ”

"Oh!?" Hearing this, the Spirit King was shocked again.

In the environment of the countries competing for hegemony, the princes of various countries confront each other, it is not an uncommon thing, by today's Huan envoy's remarks, has shown that Huan has the intention of attaching to the spirit country, and sending the prince over shows that my Huan country will never be the enemy of the spirit country.

In this court meeting, the Spirit King was very happy.

However, after the next dynasty, he was in the palace study, discussed with Cheng Ping, and said:

"Looking at the attitude of today's Huan envoys, it can be seen that King Huan has the intention of seeking refuge in our country, and the old man is willing to cut his flesh like this, groveling, he must have felt the threat of King Qin."

"What the king said is very true." Cheng Ping said: "This must be the strategy of the Prime Minister of Huan, which is intended to make my Spirit Kingdom face the future soldiers of the Qin State head-on, so that the Huan Kingdom can avoid the sword soldiers, develop secretly, and regain its vitality." ”

"And the nations have been fighting for hegemony for more than 200 years, and it is impossible for a nation to divide the mountains and rivers all the time, and sooner or later it will be unified, which is the trend of the times, and this general trend has faintly appeared."

"The State of Qin, since the accession of King Qin, has always had the heart of conquering the world, and in the near future, it will inevitably raise troops again, otherwise, it will not be able to complete King Qin's grand strategy of unifying the north."

"Now, the king has agreed to the envoy of Huan and accepted the gift of King Huan, and the country of Huan has held the crown prince hostage to our country, and when the time comes, he will inevitably face the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin army."

After he finished speaking, King Ling couldn't help but nodded slowly: "King Huan's hand is wonderful, it can bend and stretch, and this king looks down on him a little." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Ping smiled and said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a good thing for my country, at least, now the six countries under heaven, Linghuan Wu Chu, will not stand on the side of Qin, the only uncertain factor is King Xuan." ”

King Ling received: "King Xuan is smart, by no means comparable to the faint king, this queen, the means are extraordinary, she is very clear about the current general trend of the world, whether she is on the side of Qin or not, but we can try to imagine first, if the four countries go to war with Qin, Queen Xuan will definitely not dare to offend the four countries easily." ”

"Well, this point, the king is right." Cheng Ping agreed, and then said: "King Huan is taking precautions, in the opinion of Wei Chen, my country is almost time to act, at least, we must communicate with Wu Chu in advance, be ready to ally with each other at any time, and at the same time, find out Queen Xuan's attitude from the side." ”

"What he said is reasonable, the heart of the tiger and wolf of King Qin must not be allowed to be like this again, otherwise, the world will be in danger." The Spirit King nodded again, and said, "But on Wu Chu's side, Lord Cheng thinks that if he joins forces to fight Qin, how sure is it?" ”

Cheng Ping smiled and said confidently: "Weichen thinks that the second king of Wu Chu should want to know the attitude of the king the most now." ”

Cheng Ping has a very high strategic vision, and this matter really made him calculate.

Chudu.

On the streets, a large number of soldiers were running forward.

The sound of rumbling footsteps filled everywhere.

"Hurry up! Keep up! ”

Some officers shouted loudly, and when they arrived at the location, they immediately waved forward: "All sealed!" ”

"The general has an order! Seal down all the Qin merchants' shops—"

When the military order was issued, countless soldiers immediately stepped forward and poured into the shops.

After coming in, he didn't say a word, picked up the goods and left.

The people in the shop naturally hurriedly stopped them, but they were immediately beaten by the soldiers and wailed.

A shopkeeper also hurriedly approached the officer's side, bent down and arched his hand, and said urgently: "Master Jun, we are all serious businessmen, why is this so......"

"Get out of here!" Before he could finish speaking, the officer had already stretched out his palm, and at the same time shouted: "Hurry up!" All the cheap merchants of the Qin State will be arrested! ”

There are many places where this kind of thing happens, but it doesn't stop at Chudu.

This is just a trivial matter, which was played by the king of Chu.

Inside the study of the royal palace.

Chu Xiang stood respectfully below: "King, after the matter of Qin Shang, the King of Qin will definitely be angry, at that time, if there is a sword soldier, how can it be good." ”

The king of Chu did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "I, a merchant of Chu State, are there still people in Qin?" ”

"It's almost all back." Chu Xiangdao.

"That's good." King Chu took a deep breath and said: "What the State of Chu cares about now is the attitude of the Spirit King, not the attitude of the King of Qin, even if there is no such thing, the relationship between Qin and Chu is also hostile. ”

"Now we need to continue to implement Cai Yan's previous strategy of uniting and weakening Qin, and in addition, for Xuanguo, we must no longer fight evil."

If the war breaks out again and the countries participate in the war, Queen Xuan will be the most critical point in determining the general trend of the world.
