Xiaofeng and Ding Hu went to the Yingdu of Chu State, first came to see Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen was very surprised when he heard Chen Zhenyan's assassination of Zhang Yi, and said in awe to Xiaofeng: "The old man never expected that the son of the child would have such a righteous act!" Xiaofeng planned for the people of Qin and Chu to let Zhang Yi go without killing, which is the righteousness of the world. According to the old opinion, although Zhang Yi could not thank Chu Guo if he died, he would not be at this time. The son of a child understands the righteousness! ”

Xiaofeng thanked him, and said to Chen Zhenyan that he wanted to see the king of Chu, Chen Zhen asked Xiaofeng: "What do you want to say when you see the king of Chu?" ”

Xiaofeng said: "Advise the King of Chu to use the good to eliminate the evil, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and recover Hanzhong." ”

Chen Zhen sighed and said, "The widow doesn't know about the temple. The king of Chu was supposed to be a promising king, but he was greedy for land, ignoring etiquette and law, causing the princes to fight against Chu, so that he was deceived by Zhang Yi and lost his land. Now the state of Chu is about to decline, and the ambition of the king of Chu is no longer what it used to be. If the son of the son of Chu admonishes the king of Chu with this words, it is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow. ”

When Xiaofeng heard this, he was in a dull mood for a long time, and asked Chen Zhen: "As Chen Zi said, can't the state of Chu really be strong?" Hanzhong is the hometown of Sangzi and other people, and now it is occupied by the Qin people, will it never be restored? ”

Chen Zhen sighed again, and then said to Xiaofeng: "Chu could have merged with the world, but the world is impermanent, in the past, Bashu was infighting, and the king of Chu did not collect Bashu and let Qin take the lead, which is a miscalculation." After Qin merged Bashu, the land of Hanzhong was already surrounded by Qin on three sides, and sooner or later it would be obtained by Qin. Chu's abandonment of Hanzhong was also a helpless move, losing the land of Hanzhong, and it would be difficult to compete with Qin. The major events in the world are all man-made, and they are no longer man-made, as for the future, who wins and who loses, only God knows. ”

When Xiaofeng heard this, he was silent, and he dispelled the idea of asking to see the King of Chu in his heart, so he asked Chen Zhen and said: "The ruzi's homeland has fallen, Sangzi has been invaded, and the ruzi has no home, so he decided to fight the sword world and go far away in the rivers and lakes, but he was at a loss in his heart, but he didn't know what the future was?" Dare to ask Chen Zi for advice? ”

Chen Zhen pondered for a moment before saying to Xiaofeng: "The son is in the prime of life, and when the situation is turbulent today, it is the time for heroes and heroes to be promising. Since it is difficult to make achievements in the Chu State, it is expected that other countries will establish meritorious deeds. The old man heard that the king of Yan was newly established, and he urgently needed the talents of the Quartet, why didn't he want Yan Guo to give it a try? ”

When Xiaofeng heard this, he suddenly realized: "If it weren't for what Chen Zi said, the son would still be in a dream." And this King Yan also had an old relationship with his son, when King Yan was hostage in South Korea in the past, he had a friendship with his son and married Jinlan. A few years ago, when I returned to China and took the throne, I was told that I didn't have to go to see him off. Years have passed, and there has been no news for a while. Presumably, King Yan Xinli, who is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, has never bothered to contact me for a while. ”

Chen Zhen said: "King Yan used to be a hostage in South Korea, he was in danger, and he wanted you, so he made friends with you. Now that he has returned to the country as a king, he is the lord of a country and a prince, even though King Yan still remembers Jinlan's righteous feelings in his heart, but he is hindered by the world, so he can't be like in the past. The king always has the appearance of a king, and the son must not be treated with dignity and courtesy, even if the most virtuous king condescends to treat you with great courtesy. Accompany the king, avoid excessive intimacy, and pay attention to everywhere. ”

Xiaofeng received the promise and thanked Chen Zhen. He no longer went to see the king of Chu, and Xiaofeng asked someone to inquire about the news of Yan State, and he and Ding Hu waited in Yingdu of Chu State.

Zhang Yi has always had a sense of foreboding in his heart since he encountered Xiaofeng's assassination at the post station on the way to South Korea, and he thought all the way about how Xiaofeng entered the post station at night, thinking that he was famous all over the world, but he couldn't prevent a chivalrous guest in the rivers and lakes, and he lost face. But this matter is unknown, and Zhang Yi does not tell anyone about it, so he drove the car quickly to Xinzheng, South Korea, before resting at the pavilion.

Zhang Yi entered South Korea, and betrayed his promises, and lobbied King Han: "The kingdom of the king is located in the land of four stations, and if you don't annex the Qin State as soon as possible, you will be attacked by the Qin State and lose your land." "Analyze the pros and cons, and persuade King Han Xuanhui to join the Qin State earlier, help the Qin State and weaken the Chu State.

When King Han Xuanhui heard this, he was overjoyed, so he adopted Zhang Yi's words and sent an envoy to submit to Qin. Zhang Yi returned to Xianyang, the state of Qin, and reported the matter to the king of Qin. The king of Qin was overjoyed, because of Zhang Yi's achievements, he gave Zhang Yi five cities as food and named Zhang Yi as Wu Xinjun.

Zhang Yi also told the king of Qin that he was willing to lobby the princes of the east, and the king of Qin gave Zhang Yi a rune, twenty warriors and thirty chariots as guards. Go to lobby the princes of the East.

Zhang Yi was ordered by the King of Qin to lobby the monarchs of Qi, Zhao, and Yan respectively, to persuade Qi to form an alliance with Qin, persuade King Zhao and King Qin to meet in Michi to make an alliance, and persuade King Yan Zhao to alienate Zhao and get close to Qin, and sacrifice five cities under Heng Mountain to Qin as a gesture of affection. King Qi, King Zhao, and King Yan all agreed to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi went to Linzi in the country of Qi and said that the king of Qi said: "The country of Qi is also the country of ten thousand times." There is no one in the world who is in the same country, the people are rich, and the subjects are happy. However, for the king's plan, this is only a temporary joy, not a joy for thousands of generations. The king's city flattered the king and said: Qi is a country with a sea of people, strong soldiers and brave soldiers, even if there are a hundred Qin countries, they can't help Qi countries. The king likes to listen to these nonsense words and ignore the facts. When the minister heard that, Qi and Lu fought three battles and Lu won three times, and the country followed with a peril death, although there was a name for victory, and there was the fact of the country. What is the reason for this, Qi is big and Lu is small. Today's Qin and Qi are like Qi and Lu. Qin and Zhao fought against Hezhang, and Zhao defeated Qin twice, fought under Fanwu, and defeated Qin twice in two battles. After the fourth war, the Zhao State suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and only Handan was still intact, although it had the name of victory and its country was broken. What is the reason for this? Qin is strong and Zhao is weak. ”

When King Qi heard this, he thanked him: "Sir's words, there are many people who are taught!" I wish Mr. Wen to advise the widow on the strategy. ”

Zhang Yi took the opportunity to say again: "Now Qin Chu has married a woman and married a woman, and has made friends with the Kun brothers. Korea had already offered the land of Yiyang to the Qin state, and the Wei state served outside the river; The state of Zhao will enter the court and make an alliance with the state of Qin, and cut the land between the rivers to serve Qin. If the king does not deal with Qin, Qin let Han Wei attack the southern land of Qi, order Zhao soldiers to cross the Qing River, and refer to Boguan, then Linjiang, Jimo and other places are not owned by the king. As long as the Qi State is besieged by the princes for one day, it is probably too late to make friends with the Qin State at this time. So I think it's the best plan for the king to make friends with Qin now. ”

King Qi thanked: "Qi is a secluded and ugly country, living in seclusion on the East China Sea, and I don't know the long-term interests of Sheji. The widow listened to the gentleman. He agreed to Zhang Yi's suggestion.

Zhang Yi came to Handan from Qi again, and lobbied King Wuling of Zhao and said: "The envoy of the King of Qin in Yiyi is offering foolish plans to the king, and I hope the king will listen to him." Today, the king of Qin has occupied Bashu, annexed Hanzhong, surrounded it for two weeks, moved Jiuding, and guarded Baima Yaojin with soldiers. Although Qin lives in the west and is far away from the Central Plains, he has long wanted to be the hegemon of the world. Now Chu and Qin are brothers, and Han Wei is called the minister of Donglian to Qin, and the land of Qi is dedicated to fish and salt, which is the right arm of the broken Zhao State. Is it possible to break your right arm and fight with others, lose your henchmen and be isolated, and want to be safe and secure? ”

King Zhao was surprised, so he asked Zhang Yi and said, "The widow dares to ask Mr. Yu, what does Qin want?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Today, the three generals of Qin Ruofa led the troops of the three routes: the first army blocked the noon road, told Qi to make the Xingshi cross the Qing River, and marched to the east of Handan; An army was stationed in Chenggao, and the Han and Wei armies were stationed outside the river; An army was stationed at Michi. United the four countries as one to attack Zhao, can Zhao fight four with one? It will be divided among the four countries. I didn't dare to hide such a situation, so I told the king first. It is better to meet with the king of Qin, meet in person and make an alliance, ask the king of Qin not to do this plan, and hope that the king can adopt it. ”

King Zhao said: "When the first king, Fengyang Jun was autocratic and arbitrary, deceived the first king, and arbitrarily decided major affairs. The first king abandoned the ministers, the widow was young, and he did not know the general trend of the world. Now I know what Mr. said, and I know the stakes. The widow no longer has doubts, and is ready to cut the land and thank Qin for his previous mistakes. Then he prepared to drive to Mianchi to meet the King of Qin. Accept the request of the King of Qin. King Zhao promised Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi said goodbye and left.

Zhang Yi went north to Yan Guo and said that King Yan Zhao said: "The country close to the king is none other than Zhao State. In the past, Zhao Xiangzi used his sister as the wife of the acting king, and wanted to annex the acting country, so he asked the acting king to gather for discussion. It is to make the workers as a golden bucket as a vessel for hot soup, and to increase its tail, so that it can kill people. Zhao Xiangzi and the king of the king of drinking, but secretly ordered the cook to kill the king with a golden bucket when he entered the hot soup when he was drunk, and when the cook entered the hot soup, he turned the handle to kill the king, and the king's brain was smeared on the ground, and Zhao Xiangzi's sister heard it, so she stabbed herself to death with a mo, so there is still a mountain of Molu. The killing of the acting king by Zhao Xiangzi, no one in the world does not know. ”

When King Yan heard this, he also changed his expression, and said to Zhang Yi: "Mr.'s words are in the heart of the widow. Every time the widow thinks about it, he is also worried and can't sleep. ”

Zhang Yi said again: "Then King Zhao has always been denied by his six relatives, this is clear to the king, can King Zhao be close and trusted?" Zhao Xing's troops attacked Yan, and then besieged the Yan capital Jicheng and forced the king, and the king cut ten cities to thank him. Now the king of Zhao has entered the court and made friends with the Qin state, and presented the land between the rivers to serve Qin. If the king does not deal with Qin, the Qin army will go out of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, so that Zhao will lead the army to attack Yan, and the land of Yishui and the Great Wall will not be the king. ”

Yan Wang thanked Zhang Yi and asked Zhang Yi for her current coping strategy.

Zhang Yi said: "Zhao has surrendered to the Qin State today, and compared to the Qin State, it is like a county of the Qin State, so without the order of the King of Qin, the Zhao State will not dare to attack with troops and horses." If the king of Qin is the king, the king of Qin will be happy, and Zhao will not dare to act rashly. The king has the aid of Qin in the west, and there is no trouble of Qi and Zhao in the south, so he can sit firmly in Jicheng, and have the land of Yishui and the Great Wall without hidden dangers. ”

King Yan said: "The country of widows is located in the middle of nowhere, bordering the barbarians, even if it is an adult, it is like this compared to the Central Plains Huaxia. Today, fortunately, Mr. advised, the widow invited the west to Qin, and was willing to sacrifice the five cities at the end of Hengshan Mountain to marry Qin Huan. ”
