Chapter 218: The Four Nation Alliances
After the location of the palace was decided, Xiao Yuan immediately allocated gold and silver, requisitioned the people, and ordered Shangguan Wenruo to start the construction.
For a time, thousands of people appeared on the outskirts of Qinzhou.
Truckloads of masonry and timber were pulled in batches to the place where they were built.
The construction was carried out by Shangguan Wenruo, and Mo Ziyu was the director and conductor, which cost a huge amount of gold and silver, and the scale was ahead of the curve in Qindi, which of course caused some sensations.
The first to be affected were the merchants of Qin and Shu.
The news of the palace came out, and the merchants knew that Qin was about to open the country, and the capital must be in Qinzhou, and the vicinity of the palace must be the center of Qinzhou in the future.
As a result, many merchants saw this opportunity and began to approach the government, hoping to buy land near the palace and build their own shops.
Even if they don't do this, the official side of Qinzhou will make the area near the palace the most prosperous, and now this situation is exactly what Liu Yuzhi and others want.
Subsequently, Xiao Yuan sold a lot of state-owned land in the form of auctions.
On this side, the Qin Palace's palace was in full swing, and on the other side, when the countries heard the news that Xiao Yuan was about to become king, they naturally had different attitudes, but most of them scoffed.
Ryokuni.
After Cai Yan came back, he first reported the results of the trip to King Liang, and then said: "King, you are right, Lord Qin does have the heart to fight for hegemony, and when Weichen left from Qinzhou, he was already building the palace. ”
"You're going to be king?" King Liang chuckled and said, "It seems that there are going to be nine kingdoms in the world to compete for hegemony......"
Spirit Country.
After listening to Cheng Ping's speech, the Spirit King also chuckled, but said faintly: "Lord Qin is the king, we don't care, but there are people who will definitely not be able to sit still." ”
"The king is talking about ......," Cheng Ping asked in a condensed voice.
King Ling said: "Qiang Jin is next to him, he has long wanted to annex Qin, but he hasn't had time, now that the Lord of Qin is king, how can King Jin bear it?" ”
As he spoke, he smiled again and said, "Let's watch the play." ”
He is right, these kings, they are all hereditary princes, their ancestors are all the founding heroes of the empire, they were divided into various places by the founding emperor, and their status is noble, how can they endure Xiao Yuan, a king who suddenly appeared on an equal footing with them!
Especially King Jin.
After hearing about this, King Jin couldn't help but laugh, got up and said, "The monarch of a little desolate land is also worthy of being a king!?" ”
"If this king doesn't cut down Qin, won't the Lord of Qin become more arrogant!"
As he spoke, he directly shouted: "Li Heng, let you quickly send an envoy to the Three Kingdoms, go to Huan and Chu, and then contact King Wu, and join the alliance to attack Qin!" ”
Li Heng is a well-known eloquent person, and the King of Jin has already had a plan to destroy Qin, and he has not decided it now, and he is just taking this opportunity to implement it.
And this attack on Qin, the Jin court had already discussed and finalized it, so none of the ministers objected, and Li Heng hurriedly came out and said: "Obey the king's orders." ”
The Jin State wanted to unite the other three countries to attack Qin together, and the first place Li Heng went to after receiving the order was Huan State.
Among the kingdoms under heaven, the national strength of Huan is very strong, and at the same time, King Huan also looks down on Qin.
Therefore, in his case, Li Heng is engaged in strategic lobbying.
In the palace of the Huan Dynasty, he directly told King Huan that the matter of the Eight Kingdoms has not yet been resolved, but a Qin suddenly appeared and dared to encroach on the king, but he simply didn't take the kings in his eyes and couldn't sit idly by.
Subsequently, he briefly explained that Qin was a barbarian, and it was ridiculous to try to sit on an equal footing with the Chinese countries, and then suggested that King Huan send troops to attack Qin, and promised Huan that after success, he was willing to divide his land with Huan.
After the Central Plains War, the current eight countries, mutual checks and balances are serious, it can be said that it is difficult to break the situation, if King Huan wants to expand the territory, then there is no doubt that the best to start now is Qin.
Therefore, after some lobbying, King Huan immediately said that he was willing to send 100,000 troops to ally the Jin Kingdom.
Huan Guo agreed to send troops, Li Heng was overjoyed, for him, this is equivalent to getting the most difficult one, and when he arrived in Wu, he was also full of confidence.
even changed his strategy for King Wu.
He told King Wu that Xiao Yuan, the lord of Qin, took advantage of the time when Wu and Chu were fighting with Yan and Ling, and stole Sichuan Shu, which should have been in Wu's pocket, and An Neng gave it up.
And promised that after the invasion of Qin, he was willing to share the land of Shu with Wu Chu.
Li Heng's words were selected to say, what King Huan wanted most now was to expand his territory, while King Wu was dissatisfied with the loss of Sichuan and Shu.
Therefore, these two countries were quickly dealt with by him, and Wu also promised to send 100,000 troops.
In the end, there is the state of Chu left, and the state of Chu is also the simplest, because the Wu and Chu families wear the same pants many times, and the king of Wu has already agreed, so the king of Chu has nothing to say.
Subsequently, the four countries met in Bai Ze, with a total army of 400,000, wanting to break through the mountain pass and destroy Qin in one go.
When the news came out, although the countries reacted differently, they didn't have to think about it to know that they were all planning to sit and watch the play.
Although Liang and Ling sent envoys to congratulate and express friendship, how could people help with such a thing.
This time, he could only rely on Qin himself to resist the past.
Xiao Yuan doesn't have any allies now, and he is also despised by the kings.
Bai Ze.
It is still far from Shanyuguan, but the four kings used it as a place of alliance before attacking Qin.
At this moment, the four kings gathered together, all wearing royal robes, wearing crowns, and carrying their respective generals and advisers behind them.
According to the rules of the time, before the princes made an alliance, they had to hold an alliance.
At present, the high platform has been set up, in front of the bronze tripod, there are several cases, and the tribute is placed.
Under the stage, there were many sergeants, and the magnificent horn sounded, and the scene was extremely elegant.
The four kings were side by side, and before the steps were made to make a covenant, King Huan was the first to ask:
"Today, I have four alliances, who is in charge of the bull's ear?"
As soon as his words fell, King Jin said directly: "I am the king." ”
Then, he said: "In the world of great contention, strength speaks, no one needs to fight for fame, although the rank is the king, but if anyone can suppress me to be promoted, this king will recognize you as the leader of the alliance, otherwise, there is no need to empty words." ”
In his words, there was a hint of arrogance, but the current Jin Kingdom was indeed strong, and the other three kings couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and then, King Wu chuckled lightly and stretched out his hand and said:
"Brother Jin is serious, so Brother Wang, please."
"Please ally." The other two kings also stretched out their hands and said.
"Please!" Seeing this, the king of Jin couldn't help laughing, and then took the lead towards the steps, took the ox's ear with a dagger, and smeared his lips with blood, so as to make sincerity and be the leader of the alliance.
