Chapter 414: Borrowing Phase
"This..."
Listening to Hui An's half-explanation and half-threatening words, Xiong Huai couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Indeed, now the Song State is not only the main force attacking Xue City, but also will face the Qi and Wei countries, if the Chu State has no actual action, I am afraid it will be difficult to appease the Song State and let the Song State continue to stay in Xue Land.
On the other side, Hui Ang whispered his guess to King Song.
After listening to Hui An's speculation, King Song couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, and at the same time, he also gave birth to a sense of loss.
I can't help but think to myself:
Has the Song Kingdom grown a little faster in recent years?
Has it aroused the vigilance of the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Chu?
Thinking about it, King Song's gaze gradually became quite heavy, and then he stared at Xiong Huai intently, and said: "King Chu, now the two countries of Qi and Wei are very worried about the Song Kingdom. Therefore, in order to ask the state of Chu to help the state of Song contain the state of Wei, the widow was willing to redistribute the land of Xue with the state of Chu, with Xue Cheng as the boundary, the east to Chu, the west to the Song, and Xue Cheng as the fief of Xue Jun and the management of the state of Chu. โ
As soon as King Song said this, Xiong Huai didn't think about it, and directly refused: "Why did King Song say this, although the widow is not good, but he also has promised Song Guo something, and there is absolutely no possibility of repeating it again."
Moreover, if the Wei State attacked the Song State, it was also because the King of Song, you responded to the call of the widow and wanted to teach the Qi State a lesson. This matter started because of the widow, and the widow is naturally duty-bound, and it is natural that the interests of the Song State should be safeguarded, please don't worry about the King of Song. โ
Xiong Huai said very sincerely, as if King Song's words just now were an insult to his character.
"The king of Chu is noble, it is a widow who has lost his words, and he has lost his words."
Although King Song said the words of apology, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he still stared at Xiong Huai tightly.
Xiong Huai produced a kind of at this time, as if King Song's gaze was a little dazzling.
I knew in my heart that the state of Chu must have practical actions, otherwise it would be difficult to appease the king of Song.
After a deep sigh, Xiong Huai spoke: "Wei is an ally of Chu State, at this time, Wei State has not betrayed the widow, and the widow cannot take action against Wei because of what may happen in the future. But Wei Guo's actions are obviously not normal now, and he has to guard against it.
Therefore, the widow decided to take Sima Zhaoju of Chu State as the general, sit in Chen Di to wait and see the situation, once the Wei State changes, immediately call Chen Cai's troops, within a month, will be able to send troops to the Wei State, echoing the Song State from the side. Taoyi is an important town in the Song Kingdom, and it should not be difficult to hold on for a month. โ
"In a month, the widow is still confident."
When King Song received Xiong Huai's reply, he was instantly relieved, although the Chu State did not gather troops now, but Sima Zhaoju went to Chendi, and he could still put pressure on the Wei State.
Xiong Huai paused, and then spoke: "King Song, once the Wei State falls to the Qi State, this is a betrayal of our Hezong Alliance, so the widow hopes that the Song King can work with the widow to write a letter to the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han, and ask the three kingdoms to send a message to the King of Wei together, and ask the King of Wei to think twice before acting." โ
The king of Song was overjoyed when he heard this, if he could say that the three kingdoms could be mobilized to exert pressure on the Wei state, then in any case, the king of Wei would have to weigh one or two things and consider whether to use troops against the Song state again.
Although South Korea is weak, Zhao is too busy to take care of himself, and Yan is weak and unavailable, the three countries may not be willing to wade into this troubled water, but as long as they do it, there is always a chance that it will not.
What's more, this was proposed by the King of Chu himself, which was an unexpected joy.
Thinking about it, King Song responded: "This strategy is feasible. โ
After King Song finished speaking, he gave Hui Ang another look, and then kept silent.
Hui Ang understood and knew that this was a prompt from King Song, and asked him to say that the most important purpose of coming to Chuying today was to do so.
So, Hui Ang spoke again: "Great King, the small country of the Song Kingdom, is watched by the two big countries of Qi and Wei, and my Song Kingdom tosses and turns, and I can't sleep all night, lest I be attacked by the two countries of Qi and Wei." After thinking about it, if you want to change the status quo of the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that you need to ask your country for help, and ask the king to help. โ
Hearing Hui An's words, Xiong Huai couldn't help but be stunned.
Isn't what we just said about the relief of the siege of the Song Kingdom?
Why did Hui Ang talk about this again?
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen beside him, and saw that the two of them also showed confused eyes, and couldn't help but say:
"The widow is stupid, I don't know what Keiko means, is there any other place that needs the help of the widow?"
Hui Ang smiled: "King, last time the Qi State sent troops to Xue Di, thanks to the Great King who sent Doctor Zuo to Song to take up his post, this shocked the Qi State and saved the Song State from the scourge of war." Now that Qi and Wei are looking at each other, the minister has thought twice, if he wants to avoid a disaster, he is afraid that he will have to estimate the repetition and invite a great sage from Chu to Song. For this reason, our country has vacated the position of Xiangguo and waited for the great sage of Chu. โ
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ Xiong Huai was shocked.
The king of Song actually wanted to find a prime minister from among the ministers of Chu.
This kind of thing that is beneficial to the Chu State and harmless, does the widow agree, promise, or promise!
The thought turned around in his mind, Xiong Huai really couldn't think of any harm, and the courtiers around him also frowned, thinking about the meaning of Song Guo.
So, Xiong Huai tentatively asked King Song: "I don't know who King Song wants?" โ
King Song said with a smile: "In the past few months, the widow has had a very good relationship with the doctor of your country, and thinks that the doctor is a great sage who can be entrusted with state affairs. Therefore, the widow is willing to take a son as a hostage, and ask your country's Shangguan doctor to take up the post of Song Prime Minister to strengthen the friendly relations between Chu and Song. โ
Xiong Huai froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and then he looked at Doctor Shangguan, who had been silent on the side.
It's just that there was a trace of consternation on Doctor Shangguan's face, and he looked incredulous.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Doctor Shangguan was in the Song camp for several months, could it be that the king of Song did not communicate with the doctor of Shangguan, or the king of Song communicated with the doctor of Shangguan, but he was rejected by the doctor of Shangguan, and still made this request to him, the king of Chu.
Thinking about the situation of Doctor Shangguan, his status in the Chu State is definitely not low, and he was also born in a big family in the Chu State, and he has a wide range of contacts in the Chu State.
Not only that, Doctor Shangguan is a member of the prince's party, and he is an important force in the court between the Southern Empress and the prince, and now the position of the prince of Chu is still very stable, and he does not need to rely on the strength of other countries, so Doctor Shangguan will not easily leave Chu and run abroad, after all, it is much more convenient to be in the DPRK than abroad.
What's more, Doctor Shangguan knows the inside story of Chu Guo's invasion of Yue, so he shouldn't be stupid enough to go to Song State to be prime minister now, and then be expelled back in a short time.
Why bother.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but doubt King Song's intentions.
In any case, the use of Shangguan by the Song King as the Song minister can undoubtedly bring the relationship between Chu and Song closer, which is extremely beneficial to the Chu State, but what about the Song State?
What are the benefits of the Song Kingdom.
