As the Yan State prepared to regain the Wei Land, both Yan and Wei began large-scale military preparations.

On the border between the two countries bordering Jixi and Weidi, it is even more prohibited.

The eyes of the world have also focused on this.

In a palace in the state of Chu, seven sorcerers with faces and masks of various masks were dancing to the rhythmic rhythm of smashing stones, to occupy the influence of the upcoming battle between Yan and Wei on the state of Chu.

And Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Huang Xie, the king of Chunshen, were also attached to the ground at this time, praying sincerely.

"Chu Ci Chapters and Verses" said: "The country of Chu is customary, believes in ghosts and good ancestral halls, and its ancestral halls will be inspired by singing and music, so as to entertain the gods." ”

At this time, while actively absorbing the culture of the Central Plains, the state of Chu was also deeply influenced by the folk customs of various parts of the south.

The Chu people made friends with ghosts and gods, one was sacrifice, and the other was divination. In Chudi, the trend of divination of male and female witches is extremely popular, up to the monarch, down to the common people, all of them, so there is a saying of "heavy obscenity".

Whenever the king of Chu was in a major event or an indecisive matter, he would inevitably do divination.

In other countries in the Central Plains, divination is the business of diviners, but in Chu State, it is the duty of shamans.

As the dance ended, the seven wizards formed a circle and looked at the ground in the circle.

There are forty-nine grasses on the ground with strange symbols. To tell the truth, except for those who are familiar with this technique, even if others can see the grass on the ground clearly, they don't know the meaning.

Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, anxiously asked one of the seven people, "Great Wu, what is the result?" ”

This man, known as the Great Witch, carefully looked at the shape formed by the grass on the ground, and muttered:

"King, the hexagram is unknown, and the ear is chaotic!"

After these sorcerers left, Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, asked Huang Xie of Chunshenjun beside him:

"Chun Shenjun, the hexagram given by the gods of heaven is also unknown. The war between Yan and Wei in Weidi does not seem to be very beneficial to our Chu State, so where should our Chu State go in the future? ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie bowed down to Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and said: "King, now the competition in the Central Plains is tighter. In September last year, Yan Wang Ji Kang held a grand military parade in Jidu to shock the world. ”

And Qin Wang Yingji, in October, carried out the matter of sacrificing to the heavens and establishing a tripod, Han Wangran entered Qin, and Wei Wang Yu commissioned the country to obey the instructions of King Qin. In this way, it was used to highlight the hegemony of Qin among the countries of the Central Plains. ”

"From the current point of view, whether it is the Qin State in the west or the Yan State in the north, these two countries have the ambition to dominate the world. Judging from the results of the Battle of Suiyang, in the Central Plains, our Chu State cannot confront Yan and Qin head-on, and should be avoided. ”

After listening to Huang Xie's words, King Xiong of Chu was silent.

After a while, he asked Ling Yin Huangxie, "Chun Shenjun, how should I avoid it in my Chu State?" ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie replied to King Xiong of Chu: "

King, this Chen Yingcheng is too close to the countries of the Central Plains, in order to avoid the edge of Yan and Qin, my Chu State can only move the capital. ”

King Xiong Wan frowned slightly, and said to Huang Xie:

"Chun Shenjun, the capital of my Chu State has been moved again and again, not to mention the new capital Shouchun City, which is still under construction. My Chu State is now moving its capital, where should I move? ”

Huang Xie saw the concerns in Xiongwan, the king of Chu.

Think about it, in order to avoid the edge of the Qin State, the Chu State moved the capital from Yingdu to this Chenyi, although the Chu State still called Chenyi Yingdu for the sake of face, which itself has the taste of spitting and drying.

The year before last, in order to avoid the soldiers of Yan and Wei, it was decided to build a new national capital, Shouchun City.

However, now that Shouchun City has not been built, he is in a hurry to run again. Not to mention the country of the Central Plains, how can you look at the behavior of Chu State moving its capital so frequently, that is, even the people of Chu State itself may not be able to see it in private.

Huang Xie hurriedly explained to Xiong Wan, the king of Chu: "King, this move of the capital is temporary, not a long-term strategy. The minister thought that with the confrontation between Yan and Wei, the Central Plains was about to start turbulent, and it was not appropriate for our Chu State to intervene at this time. ”

"However, Chen Ying, the capital of my Chu State, is too close to the countries of the Central Plains, and if you are not careful, you will be forced to get involved. King, this is really not good for my Chu State! ”

Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, knew that Huang Xie was telling the truth, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly:

"In that case, let's move the capital temporarily! Chun Shenjun, where is the temporary capital of my Chu State? ”

Huang Xie came to the map of Kanyu hanging on the wall of the hall, and pointed to the Juyang City (now Taihe, Anhui) at the southern end of Chen Ying.

To the king of Chu, Xiong Wan stated:

"Your Majesty, please see, in the opinion of the ministers, the capital of my Chu State should be temporarily moved to this city to observe the current situation in the Central Plains. Wang, first of all, this Juyang City is located right in the middle of Chen Ying and Shouchun, the new capital under construction, symbolizing the route of our Chu State to move its capital. ”

Second, the city is located in the south of the Yinghe River, where Yingshui and Rushui (now Anhui Quanhe) meet, and has been a natural barrier since ancient times. Moreover, the city, about ten to twenty miles south of Hu County (now the old city of Fuyang) and Zonghu (in Baimiao Village, Yingquan District, Fuyang City, the former site of the Spring and Autumn Huzi Kingdom), has a large buffer zone, which can just accommodate a large army. ”

"If the situation in the Central Plains calms down after that, my Chu State can move back to Chen Ying; If the current situation in the Central Plains is still turbulent in the future, my Chu State can be here, and after the new capital Shouchun is built, the royal capital will be moved to Shouchun. ”

King Xiong of Chu thought for a long time, nodded, and said:

"It's okay, then stay in early March, when the spring flowers are blooming, temporarily move the capital to Juyang City! Chun Shenjun, pass on the edict of the widow, and let all the ministers of the court be ready to move the capital. ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, bowed down and responded: "No." ”

Just when the two countries of Chu were about to clash with Yan and Wei, and the Central Plains was in turmoil, they were preparing to move the capital. In Daliang, the capital of Wei, the king of Wei sat above the court, discussing with his ministers the upcoming battle of Weidi.

"Zhongqing, according to the report, the ambition of King Kang of Yan has sent Jun Lejian of Changguo to be the main general, leading an army of 100,000 to gather in the land of Jixi to prepare to attack our Wei State. How should I deal with it? Please tell us all. ”

Wei Wangyu sat on the throne and said angrily to the ministers.

After hearing this, the ministers of Wei State drooped their heads one by one and remained silent.

Don't underestimate the many ministers of the Wei State, they can be described as the most well-informed group of people in this era.

At this time, the situation of Yan State, the ministers of Wei State also knew better.

The wealth and strength of the Yan State were already known to all the ministers of the Wei State at this time. Especially after the Yan State occupied Qi land, after the military parade held in Jidu last autumn, it let the people of the world understand the current military sharpness of Yan State.

It can be said that the military appearance displayed by Yan Guo during the military parade really made all countries in the world panic.

Seeing his ministers like this, Wei Wangyu was very angry.

"Zhongqing, the Yan army is pressing, don't you have any countermeasures?"

Seeing this, Shangqing Zhou Xin could only sigh secretly, and walked out to Wei Wangyu and said:

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes: water comes to cover the earth, and soldiers come to block. Now the Yan Kingdom wants to destroy my Wei State and take away my land. My Wei State has no choice but to send troops to block the Yan army. ”

"But, Your Majesty, the strength of the Yan Kingdom is now known to the world. If, only by relying on my Wei country, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the Yan army, and my king can send envoys to various countries to ask all countries to send troops to aid our Wei country and resist the Yan army together. ”

As soon as the ministers of the Wei State saw Shangqing Zhou Xin speak, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They all stood up and said in unison: "What Zhou Xin Shangqing said is extremely true, and the ministers seconded it. ”

At this time, Shangqing Lingzhi, who had been frowning for a long time, stood up and said to Wei Wangyu:

"My lord, I still have a plan here, I want to repay my king."

When Wei Wangyu heard this, he hurriedly said to Shangqing Lingzhi:

"Lingzhi Shangqing, what do you do, come to the widow quickly."

Ling Zhi coughed, bowed down and said to Wei Wangyu:

"King, now that the Yan country is strong and my Wei country is weak, everyone knows it. However, there is a person in our Wei State, who has a very high prestige among all countries in the world, as long as he returns to Wei, the minister thinks that with one person, he will inevitably make Yan State retreat. ”
