Liu Yuzhi returned: "According to the information we have now, the Chu envoy has arrived in Xuanguo, and he should have met with King Xuan, but Xuanguo's side has not issued a decree to expel Qin Shang. ”

Didn't this queen agree to unite with the weak Qin?

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, and immediately said: "Pass on the king's order, let the Qin merchants who are still in Xuanguo return to China as soon as possible." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yuzhi said: "But the king, King Xuan did not issue an expulsion order, obviously still hesitating, my country should take advantage of this and do everything possible to win over Xuanguo." ”

"Yes, my lord." Liu Changqing said: "Although the four countries conspired, but Xuanguo has not yet joined, if our country can ally with Xuanguo and form a situation of two enemies and four, it can also have a few more chances of winning." ”

"That's right." Shangguan Wenruo followed: "Xuanguo's national strength and military strength are not weak, if the war resumes, with the power of Qin Xuan, it may not necessarily lose to the four countries, and the Xuanjun has cooperated with our army many times, and the relationship between the king and the king is not bad, so it is reasonable to send an envoy to Xuanguo to lobby." ”

The relationship between the two kings of Qin Xuan is not bad.

It's just that no one knows about it.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan said: "No need, it is meaningless to win over Xuanguo now, and there are many difficulties, this time the union of countries is different from the past, this is the precursor of attacking Qin." ”

"That'...... What does the king plan to do with one against five? Liu Yuzhi said with a worried face: "If this is the case, the Qin State will definitely be defeated." ”

He is right, even if the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, it will definitely be defeated if it fights with the five countries, and the Qin state has not yet reached the point of dominating the world.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Prime Minister don't worry too much, now the countries obviously want to weaken our national strength first, and the time to really start a war has not yet come." ”

"The king is right." Shangguan Wenruo received: "Weichen thinks that if the four countries attack Qin now, it will be a good thing, and they are afraid, they have been dragging it out." ”

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan said: "War, what costs soldiers, horses, money and food, the countries want to weaken our country's strength, but I, the Qin State, don't pay much attention to commerce, this matter, just when we don't go east, as long as we hoard enough grain and grass, we can take over this war!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

Then Jia You said: "That Weichen suggested, maybe you can show weakness first, let the countries think that their goal has been achieved, this time, whether their alliance is reliable or not, but if you really want to attack Qin, it will definitely not be in the short term, and during this time, our country can also make all the pre-war preparations." ”

"En......" Xiao Yuan nodded slowly, and said: "In addition, increase the intensity of recruitment, and the training of the new army must not be stopped." ”

Xuanguo, the palace study.

Yao Tingyu was asking to see King Xuan.

Before, after meeting with the Chu envoy in the Xuanguo court, King Xuan did not agree at the first time, but carried out some perfunctory prevarication.

In this regard, Xuan Xiang was naturally anxious to know the attitude of his monarch, and after seeing the salute in the study, he also went straight to the point: "King, now that the four countries are united, they have all begun to expel Qin Shang, Wu Chuhuan Ling, he must be anxious to see the attitude of our country, if the king does not follow the general trend, I am afraid that he will offend the four countries." ”

King Xuan glanced at him, and asked in a flat voice, "What is the general trend of the world?" ”

Yao Tingyu said: "The countries are weak Qin, obviously preparing for the war against Qin, if the four countries are determined to destroy Qin this time, even if the Qin army is a tiger and wolf army, it is impossible to really resist." Especially the Lingguo, the overlord of the east, and Qin one-on-one, there will not be much of a problem, plus Wu Chu, the Qin State will be defeated. ”

"But don't forget, the Qin State has a mountain pass, which is a danger to the world, if they really fight, even if the Four Kingdoms can destroy Qin, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses." Xuan Wang Dao.

"So, what does the king mean by being a wall-watcher?" Yao Tingyu couldn't help but ask.

"Still thinking about it." King Xuan's words were concise and to the point.

Hearing this, Yao Tingyu was a little anxious: "Great King, this time, the Qin State has entered a dangerous situation, and it is difficult to reverse it, if our country does not stand with the Four Kingdoms, maybe, before attacking Qin, the Four Kingdoms will first target us." ”

It's a real possibility.

King Xuanxiu frowned slightly, and said: "Having said that, has the prime minister ever thought about it, if we ally with the four countries and participate in the destruction of Qin, where will Xuanguo be?" ”

"When the time comes, Wu Chu will definitely take the lead in proposing to destroy Xuan, Lingguo will not help me, and Xuanguo will no longer have allies."

Her words seemed to be very reasonable, but Yao Tingyu said: "Although the king has far-reaching thoughts, Weichen thinks that after the destruction of Qin, Xuanguo is enough to deal with the other countries, and it is impossible for the Spirit King to see Wu Chu sitting on the throne again, and the pattern of the world may be relatively balanced." ”

King Xuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her mind was turning, she knew in her heart that in this matter, most of the ministers of Xuanguo were on the side of the four countries, because the power was great! Definitely will not agree to the alliance with Qin, because the risk is too great.

From her heart, of course, she wanted to stand on Xiao Yuan's side, which was related to private feelings.

But as the king of a country, she has to consider the opinions of her ministers, and entanglements are inevitable.

She has long had feelings for Xiao Yuan.

How nice it would be if it were just ordinary people.

Why was born in the royal family, even the person you like can't choose.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Seeing this, Yao Tingyu didn't know why, and couldn't help but say: "The king has already made a decision......

King Xuan still didn't speak, his beautiful eyes moved slightly, obviously still thinking about it.

At this moment, Yang Zhao stepped in and saluted respectfully: "Great King, a letter from the Qin State. ”

"Huh?" King Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Present it." ”

"Yes." Yang Zhao answered, took out the secret letter, and respectfully put it on the table.

King Xuan unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

Yao Tingyu shook his head slightly, in his heart, he didn't have to think about it to know that this must be a letter sent by Qin Guo to win over.

But after reading it, King Xuan groaned slightly, but he opened his mouth and said: "This king's intention is to expel Qin Shang immediately." ”

"Huh?" Yao Tingyu was dumbfounded, he just thought that after King Xuan read the letter, he would have to spend more time talking, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

After being stunned, his face also showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly bowed down: "The king is wise-"

"Alright." King Xuan put away the letter and waved his hand: "Let the Prime Minister order it, tell the Chu envoy that Xuanguo agrees to unite the strategy of weakening Qin." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Yao Tingyu bowed and retreated.

The next day, Xuanguo, like the other four states, began to cut off trade with Qin, and the Chu envoy received a satisfactory answer and returned excitedly.

So far, the six countries in the world, on the surface, have formed a situation of five to one.
