Sima Cuo led the remnants of the army on the way to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and the pursuers behind were in desperate pursuit, so he ordered the few remaining remnants to take off their battle robes and pile them on the road, setting them on fire to block the pursuing enemy troops behind. Smoke rose and a raging fire erupted, using it as a roadblock. The enemy lingered in front of the raging fire. Sima Coo's embarrassed fled back to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and entered the palace.

"Great King, the minister did not listen to the advice of Prime Minister Qin, causing the defeat of the Sword Pavilion."

"What? The Sword Pavilion was defeated, "Qin dominates the world, there has never been such a fiasco, and now only a few hundred of the 200,000 Qin soldiers have returned." King Qin Huiwen was shocked when he heard the news, and sat on top of the main hall in a daze, staring straight ahead with his eyes.

"The king, after giving the ministers 200,000 soldiers and horses, three days later to capture the Sword Pavilion, if you can't capture the Sword Pavilion in three days, the ministers will come to see you," Sima Coo knelt on the top of the main hall.

"Great King, my Great Qin defeated the Sword Pavilion, and I still need to rest, Gongzi Qi's change is on the momentum, we can wait and see what happens."

"That's it, General Sima, the widow won't kill you for the time being, first make a note of your guilt and meritorious service."

"King, this time there are Chu and Shu in alliance with Pakistan, last time we defeated Chu in the battle of Lantian, we attacked the Yingdu of Chu and took down the Yingdu of Chu."

In this battle in the Sword Pavilion, the Qin army was defeated, and there were palpitations, King Qin Huiwen looked at the civil and military officials above the main hall, and moved his eyes to Qin Xiang Zhang Yi and said, "Zhang Yi." ”

"The minister is here," Zhang Yi made his debut.

"My Great Qin army was defeated in the Battle of Sword Pavilion, it can be said that this is unprecedented, the State of Chu has a grudge against my Great Qin after the defeat of the Lantian Army, so he and the prince Qi of the State of Pakistan formed an alliance to attack my Great Qin Division, we can use this to attack the Yingdu of the State of Chu, in order to relieve the humiliation of the defeat, do you think this strategy is feasible?"

"Great King, if you send troops to Chu because of anger, this plan is absolutely impossible, you haven't investigated the specific situation between Qin and Chu, the angry army crusades against Chu and my Great Qin will be defeated, if my Qin army is defeated again, then the princes of the six countries will not be afraid of Qin, my Great Qin will lose its status, and the trend of convergence will begin to rise again, and my Great Qin is in danger, this is where the Great King lacks consideration because of anger. The terrain of Chu is vast and complex and diverse, with the assistance of the virtuous minister Qu Yuan, if we build a division in Chu State, Qu Yuan of Chu State will ask Gongzi Qi of Ba State for help, Gongzi Qi will definitely send troops to aid Chu, and form a coalition army to attack our Qin State again, so this is the reason why the minister advised the king not to send troops. ”

"If this continues, it will damage the hegemony of my Great Qin and the pace of unification, what strategy does Prime Minister Qin have in his heart to solve the worries in the hearts of the widows?"

"King, don't worry about this matter, the king of Chu is lustful, we can send beautiful women to the state of Chu to confuse the mind of the king of Chu, so that the king of Chu has no intention of the government, Qu Yuan is a noble man will definitely be alienated by the king of Chu, just like Kong Qiu of the Lu country, because the country of Qi sent a few beauties to make Lu Aigong uninterested in state affairs, alienated Kong Qiu between the various vassal states and was unwilling. Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of the king of Chu, loves money and has a narrow heart, we can use this to give Zheng sleeve jewelry and jade, she will listen to us fan the pillow by the side of the king of Chu, and say bad things about Qu Yuan, and over time the king of Chu will alienate Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan will leave Chu if he can't be reused, like Kong Qiu in Lu State. ”

"Prime Minister Qin's plan is very good, so who will be sent to envoy Chu State?"

"Minister Zhang Yi is willing to send an envoy to the State of Chu to lobby Yin Zilan, the commander of the State of Chu."

"Last time Qin Xiang deceived the Chu State, the subjects of the Chu State have a grudge against you, Qin Xiang will definitely lead to the disaster of killing if he goes, it is better not to go, the widow can send other envoys to the Chu State, and the Qin Prime Minister will stay in the Qin State."

"Your Majesty, can you grant your ministers a request?"

"What a request, say it."

"Give the map of the land of 600 li to the minister, and the minister can use this map to lobby the state of Chu."

At this time, King Qin Huiwen sat on the high platform, stood up, walked down the hall to Zhang Yi, looked at Zhang Yi and said: "Qin Xiang, are you asking the widow to cede 600 li of land to the Chu State, is this what you mean?" Qin Xiang! A murderous aura shot out from King Qin Huiwen's eyes, making Zhang Yi dare not look directly, lowered his head, and said with some fear: "Exactly." ”

Qin Huiwen Wang Yan walked up the stairs, sat down on the top of the main hall peacefully, looked at Zhang Yi with angry eyes and said, "Tell me your reasons." ”

"Great King, if Qu Yuan stays in charge of the Chu State, it will hinder the pace of my Great Qin to unify the world, and we want to weaken the entire Chu State and eliminate it. Great King, you can measure, is it important for the entire Chu State or for the six hundred miles of land? ”

King Qin Huiwen took out the map of the land of six hundred miles, walked down the hall, stood in front of Zhang Yi and said, "You take it." ”

Gongzi Qi stood on top of the castle tower of the Sword Pavilion, looking from afar, surrounded by endless mountains, and the mist was reborn. The sun sets in the west and the clouds shine red in the west, and there are also the peaks under the sunset. Sanlu Doctor Qu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Qi, Ping is leaving, take care of your son." ”

"I'll send you."

Gongzi Qi sent Qu Yuan out of the Sword Pavilion, stood under the Sword Pavilion City Tower and said: "Sending the king for a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Doctor Sanlu, the road is far away, and he will cherish it," and did it with Confucian etiquette.

Sanlu Doctor Qu Yuan stood in front of the carriage, stood opposite Gongzi Qi and saluted, took a few steps back and turned to get into the carriage and go away. Gongzi Qi stood in place and looked at the distant carriage and army, unable to leave for a long time, Qu Yuan sat on the carriage and looked back at Gongzi Qi behind him, waved his hand and gradually disappeared into Gongzi Qi's sight. General Wei and General Xiao stepped forward, stood side by side behind Gongzi Qi and said, "Gongzi, let's go back to the city." ”

"I don't know when we will see each other today, Brother Ping will take care of you all the way!"

Zhang Yi drove into Ying, the capital of the Chu State, and walked to Ling Yin Zilan's mansion to stop the carriage, get out of the car and stand in front of the gate of this mansion, and called someone to come forward and knock on the door. Ling Yin's family opened the door and came forward to look at this person: "Who are you?" What's the matter with my lord? ”

Zhang Yi stepped forward and stood in front of Ling Yin's family and said, "Let's just say that Prime Minister Qin and Zhang Yi ask to see him." ”

"Okay, you just wait outside the gate of the mansion, and the little one will report to the master."

"Okay, Zhang Yi is waiting here, please go and report quickly."

"Master, Prime Minister Qin Zhang Yi is asking to see you outside the mansion gate," the family walked to Ling Yin Zilan's mansion and stood in the middle of the hall to salute.

"Zhang Yi, last time I defrauded my Chu State with a business of six hundred miles of land, this person is gone, tell him to leave," Ling Yin Zilan sat on the lobby and said with her head held high.

"The Qin State was defeated in the Sword Pavilion, I want to see what else this Zhang Yi has to say?" Shangguan doctor Jin Shang made his debut.

"Okay, let's meet this Zhang Yi."

Zhang Yi walked into the lobby with this family, so that Yin Zilan saw that Zhang Yi was a little proud, so she didn't take Zhang Yi in her eyes and asked Zhang Yi to sit on the side of the hall. Zhang Yi looked at Ling Yin Zilan, who was sitting in the lobby, and first endured this breath and sat down at his desk. Ling Yin Zilan looked at Zhang Yi, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Prime Minister Qin, now that the Qin State has been defeated in the Sword Pavilion, today I have come to ask for peace with my Chu State." You're insincere! deceived my Chu State with 600 miles of Shang and land, and defeated my Chu army in Danyang and Lantian and captured Hanzhong, how else do you think I can trust you? ”

"The alliance of Ba, Shu, and Chu defeated my Qin State in the Sword Pavilion, but this is the case, but the elite of my Great Qin is still there, and the generals are like clouds, since you can capture Hanzhong, you can also capture the Yingdu of your Chu State, do you believe it? Qu Yuan changed in the Chu State, do you think this is beneficial to you? Now that Qu Yuan has won the battle in the Sword Pavilion, this will of course be more beneficial to Qu Yuan's reform, more smooth, and the King of Chu will trust him more. Qu Yuan is a man of high morality, intelligent and upright, does he have a grain of sand in his eyes? In Qu Yuan's eyes, you are traitorous ministers, how long can you stay in Chu State? ”

"Qin Xiang, what do you say?" Ling Yin Zilan nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and was very panicked in her heart.
