Not to mention that Xiong Huai later ordered the first wave of envoys to be recovered, and then asked Xianyin Fan Huan to lead the second batch of envoys to Qin.

That night, the State of Chu treated the envoy of the great power as an envoy of a great country, and held a grand banquet in the State of Chu.

Then, before the second day, on the same night, the news of Shu Hou Hui's rebellion and sending envoys to Chu to ask for help spread throughout Yingdu.

People who had not received news from Shu before were stunned for a while, and they were busy working one after another.

Those who reported to various countries, those who inquired about the news from Chu State, and those who sent people to Shu overnight disturbed one after another, and the city was boiling.

It's a night of non-rest.

Next.

The envoy of the Marquis of Shu left, and with the promise of the king of Chu, hurriedly returned to Chengdu.

And on the second day of Yang Kuo's departure, Zhao Ju and Zhuang Ji, who were ready, each led their armies towards their respective goals.

Qin Wangdang, who was far away in Xianyang, was shocked when he learned that Shu Hou Hui had rebelled, and immediately asked Sima Cuo, who was in Xianyang, to prepare to go south to quell the rebellion.

And just a few days after Sima Cuo led the army to leave Xianyang, Fan Huan came to Xianyin again.

In the Qin Palace.

"The king, on the orders of the widow, I have come to visit the king. The widow said that Qin is a country on the bank of the river, and Bashu is the same as the Chu state, it is a country on the bank of the river, and the two are far apart, and there are many inconveniences in communication, and the wind and cattle and horses are not related, so why should the Qin state interfere in the affairs of Bashu!

In the past, Bashu was in trouble, and Tho Jun thought that Bashu was remote, and Qin and Bashu countries had no strong relationship, and they could solve the difficulties of Bashu fairly, so he asked the King of Qin to mediate.

This was originally a great thing that wanted to promote the prestige of the Qin State and the King of Qin. As a result, I didn't want the Qin State to take the opportunity to annex Bashu. Such an act of Chiguoguo made all countries in the world despise it at that time. ”

Saying that, Fan Huan ignored the iron-colored King of Qin on the throne, paused, and continued: "Great King, now the people of Bashu are dissatisfied with the tyranny of Qin, and they have spontaneously risen up to expel the officials of Qin, which shows that it is unwise and unpopular for Qin to forcibly annex Bashu.

The Bashu countries have been friendly with our Chu country since ancient times, and after the widow heard that the Bashu countries intended to rebuild the country, they decided to support it in order to achieve the reputation of survival and continuity. ”

As he spoke, Fan Huan bowed and said, "The king, the widow asked the minister to come and tell the king that for the sake of the friendship between the two countries and the stability of Bashu, he also asked the king to agree to the restoration of Bashu." If the Qin State insisted on going its own way and planned to send troops to Bashu again, then although the widow was unwilling, he had no choice but to send troops to play with the king. ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard Fan Huan's threat, he immediately became furious. Before the envoy of the Marquis of Shu went to Yingdu to ask for help, and the matter of the alliance between Chu and Shu, he had already received the news.

Moreover, Zhao Ju led the army to the north, and he had already received a report from the spies, and strictly ordered Shangyong and Wuguan to strengthen their vigilance.

At this moment, when he heard Fan Huan's threat of war, he immediately shouted angrily: "Is this what the King of Chu asked you to declare war on the widows?" Since the king of Chu intends to fight with the widows, then it is better to start a war. ”

As he spoke, Qin Wangdang went to the side of the house: "Prime Minister, prepare to recruit a large army, and the few people want to fight to the death with the King of Chu." ”

"Yui!"

When Fan Huan heard that the King of Qin was going to war with the State of Chu, his heart suddenly rejoiced.

The plan of the Chu State was originally to hold back the main force of the Qin army, and if the Qin army did not need the Chu army to attack, it would be better to take the initiative to attack the Chu defense line.

At that time, the Chu army will not have to do anything, just stay in the camp and can contain a large number of Qin troops.

At this time, Gan Mao hurriedly got up and said: "The king is angry, Qin and Chu have been married for generations, how can they turn against each other because of the land of Bashu?" ”

Fan Huan frowned, looked at Gan Mao and said with a smile: "It's still Prime Minister Zuo who is reasonable!" ”

As soon as Gan Mao heard that Fan Huan had given himself and King Qin eye medicine in person, he immediately smiled and said, "Envoy, it is certainly not possible for the two countries of Qin and Chu to fight for the land of Bashu regardless of their friendship for hundreds of years. However, the land of Bashu was passed on to the widow by the previous king, and the widow, as a son of man, did not dare to abandon Bashu.

Therefore, I also asked the envoy to reply to the king of Chu, saying that the land of Bashu, our country would never dare to give up, if the king of Chu must meddle in the internal affairs of our Qin, then our country had to accompany to the end. ”

When Fan Huan heard this, he looked at Gan Mao, saw that his face was calm, and then looked at King Qin, and saw that he was forcibly suppressing his anger, but he did not refute Gan Mao's words.

knew that Qin Wangdang's trust in Gan Mao was deeper than he imagined, and now he forced Qin to stop sending troops to attack Shu, or lured Qin to send troops to attack Chu, all of which failed.

So, he flicked his sleeves: "In this case, then you and I will rely on our own means!" ”

After Fan Huan left, King Qin said to Gan Mao angrily: "Prime Minister Zuo, why did you stop the widow, the king of Chu bullied the widow too much, and if he didn't teach the state of Chu a lesson, the king of Chu was really weak and weak." ”

Gan Mao immediately gave up his hand and persuaded: "King, in the current situation, my Qin State still needs to go all out to quell the rebellion of the Marquis of Shu first, as for the Chu State, it is not a day's work. If our Qin State and Chu State start a full-scale war, and the two countries are in a stalemate, the ministers are worried that it will affect the counterinsurgency, and let the land of Bashu completely break away from the rule of our Qin State. ”

Fang Cai Fan Huan was there, and it was not good to disobey the order of the King of Qin, and at this time, the Chu envoy left, and then he spoke: "The king, the minister also means this." At present, although Bashu is chaotic, but my Qin State has ruled Bashu for more than ten years, and there are still some loyal people who are loyal to our Qin State, and the matter of quelling the rebellion cannot be delayed.

If you ignore the land of Bashu at this time, and go all out to entangle with foolishness and strength, it is not advisable. Therefore, the minister thought that in the face of the provocation of the Chu State at this moment, he only needed to guard the Guanyi and close himself. As long as our Qin army recovers Bashu, at that time, the Chu State will fight, and the war over there will be, and my Qin State is not afraid of the Chu State. ”

Qin Wangdang took a deep breath and sighed: "Okay, the widow will endure this breath for the time being, and then deal with the king of Chu in the future." ”

Saying that, Qin Wangdang said to Gan Mao: "Prime Minister Zuo, please step up the matter of contacting the loyal and righteous people of Bashu, and the widows must make every effort to recapture Shu." ”

"Yui!"

"Prime Minister, there is also the border of Qin and Chu, and there is General Wei Ran defending Wuguan, so the widow is not worried. The key is Shangyong, Shangyong has only been occupied by our Qin State for less than a year, the people have not been attached, the people's hearts are towards Chu, and the widows are worried that the Chu State will take the opportunity to attack Shangyong. Therefore, the prime minister was also asked to transfer troops to support. ”

"Yui."

After a pause, Qin Wangdang sighed again: "Two prime ministers, the news of the rebellion in Shu came here, and the people in the country are rumoring that the widow refused to sacrifice the Black Emperor, which caused the Black Emperor to be angry and was convicted of the sky.

Moreover, when we planted all the disasters infested by the guest stars to the state of Chu that day, we said that there was a disaster in the south, and now there is really a disaster in the south, but it is not in the state of Chu, but in our country of Qin, which is in response to Taibu's divination.

At this moment, there is a lot of discussion in the country, and what can be done about it? ”

When Zhu Liji and Gan Mao heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

On that day, it was the Zhu Li Disease who advocated refusal, and it was Gan Mao who framed the appearance of the guest star to the Chu State, and at this moment, the King of Qin inquired about each other, and the two were suddenly dumbfounded.

The things of ghosts and gods are not difficult to say, and it is difficult to say that they are not difficult.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Great King, as soon as the Black Emperor says, our Qin State will never be able to admit it. As for the current situation, it is enough to let all localities strictly investigate the rumors who walk. ”

Gan Mao continued: "The king, Gongzi Hui rebelled, and asked the king to ask the queen mother to come forward to reprimand, and then bathe and fast and sacrifice to the god of Wuxian, hoping that the god of Wuxian would protect me and the rebellion of the Qin State was successful."

In this way, as long as the rebellion in Shu is quelled, then the people will naturally not talk about it. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it now." Hearing this, Qin Wang Dang nodded, and then turned his worried gaze to Shangyong and Badi in the south.
