Chapter 881: What a Joy Comes to the Door
A few days later, Huaiyin.
"King, the news from Guangling City that the sailors of Yingdu have arrived."
Xiong Huai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, good, now that all the sailors of Chen Di Yingdu in Shou County are in place, just wait for the Jiangdong army to arrive, and then they can wave their troops north." ”
As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen and asked, "Chen Qing, where is Jiangdong's army now?" ”
Chen Zhen responded: "King, according to the latest news from Sima, the sailors of Wu Di have been on departure for a few days and will soon arrive in Guangling, while Huiji, because Sima received the edict late, it was just 30,000 Chu troops who had just set off. Calculate the distance from Huiji to Huaiyin, slow as one month, as fast as twenty days, and it can come. ”
Xiong Huai frowned when he heard this: "The sailor can't use the 30,000 Chu troops, so those Chu troops can ignore it for the time being, and as soon as the sailor arrives, he will immediately report to the widow." ”
"Yui!"
Then, after a pause, Xiong Huai asked again: "On the Huaiyin side, can the materials for the sailor's expedition to Qi be completed?" ”
As soon as Chen Zhen heard this, he opened his mouth and responded: "Please rest assured, the king of Huaiyin Jun Ling Yin and Shou County Yin have joined forces to prepare the supplies three days ago, and they can be carried on the ship as soon as the sailor arrives." ”
"Okay."
At this time, Chen Zhen suddenly said with joy: "Great King, according to the news from the Yan Kingdom, since the Qi State Water Division transported Tian Jia's troops to Yidi, the Qi State Water Division did not leave Yan State, but blocked Yan State's Yi Shui. ”
"Blocked Yishui!" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the map in the hall.
Now the remaining main forces of the Yan army are all concentrated in Quyi and Sanqiu, both of which are in the west of Yishui, and the purpose of the Qi State Naval Division to blockade Yishui is self-evident, it is clear that it wants to annihilate the Yan army in the west of Yishui, and fight the Yan State to the death, so that it will be difficult for the Yan State to recover for decades.
Although this is bad news for Yan State, there is no better news for Chu State.
Now the water division of the Qi State is either in the territory of Yan State or outside Qinghe City, and next, as long as the water division of the Chu State goes north, it will be unimpeded all the way.
Originally, he was worried that the Chu army would be ambushed by the Qi State, but now, the Chu army could swagger north and go to the Qi State to make a profit.
Maybe by the time the Chu army has reaped the benefits, the army will have returned with a full load, and the sailors of the Qi State may not have arrived in the Langya Sea area yet.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai laughed: "Okay, good, since the defeat of the Yan Kingdom, this is the best news that the widow has heard." ”
"And that's not all!" Chen Zhen then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has another good news to report. ”
"Whew!" Xiong Huai was stunned, showed a look of surprise, and said with a smile: "What good news, come quickly!" ”
"Great King, the news from the Wei State, seven days ago, the King of Wei, with Gongsun Xi as his general, led 150,000 people to attack Chu and attack my Chen Land."
"Hmph, Wei Guo, it was expected." Xiong Huai smiled coldly when he heard this, and then looked at Chen Zhen in surprise: "Xianqing, Wei Guohua Chu, this is not good news!" ”
Chen Zhen nodded and arched his hand: "Great King, although it is not good news from the Wei State, but the Qin State, which plans to send troops to attack Chu with the Wei State, has good news. ”
Saying that, Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu showed a look of expectation, and immediately explained: "King, the spies have come to report that the Qin State has already decided to send troops to attack Chu at the same time as the Wei State, and the Qin army has already been gathered. However, just two days before the Qin army was opened, Qin's right prime minister, who was bedridden due to wind and cold, suddenly died of illness, and Gan Mao, the chief general of Vachu, was promoted to the right prime minister and was no longer in the post of chief general.
Then, the ministers of the Qin State made a mess for the position of prime minister. As a result, the Qin dynasty was fighting endlessly for the position of the left prime minister and for the position of the chief general of the war. Therefore, now the army of Vachu on the Qin side has been staying in Xianyang and has not moved. ”
"Uh... This... This is indeed good news. Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.
Then, thinking of what happened in all countries in the world during this time, he said with a strange face: "God is fair, this winter before, all the Qi kings and Qi Xiang of Qi State died, the widow queen Ling Yin also died, and the right prime minister of Qin State also died. Now that the Yan Kingdom has suffered a great calamity, its vitality has been greatly damaged, if there is also bad news from the Sanjin Dynasty, then the countries will be balanced, and the hearts of the widows will also be balanced. ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhen glanced at the King of Chu with strange eyes, thought for a while, and said: "The king, the minister heard that it seems that the princes of Wei and Han also contracted the wind and cold not long ago, among which the prince of Wei was infected again soon after he recovered, and the infant of Prince Han was seriously ill and had not left the mansion for more than a month. ”
"This..." Xiong Huai glanced at Chen Zhen in surprise, paused, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Xianqing, don't talk nonsense, the princes of Wei and Han are in good health, and the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will not be crushed by diseases." ”
When Chen Zhen heard this, he bowed deeply and said: "The king is benevolent! ”
After a pause, Chen Zhen continued: "King, in addition to the Qin Kingdom, there is also good news from the Han and Song countries. On the Korean side, although the four kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Wei and Qin lobbied South Korea to betray the alliance, the uncle advocated maintaining the alliance between Chu and Han in the court, and because of the abolition of the crown prince by King Zhao, King Han had a grudge against King Zhao. Therefore, King Han has not moved troops at present and remains neutral.
On the Song side, the king of Song purged the pro-Qi ministers in the country not long ago and expelled Tian Buli, and the relationship between Qi and Song deteriorated. Therefore, in order to express his intention to befriend the Chu State, the King of Song has officially ordered that most of the hundreds of thousands of Song troops gathered in Pengcheng before be disbanded, and only 30,000 Song troops are retained in case of contingencies. ”
"Okay." When Xiong Huai heard that the stone in his heart fell to the ground, he was overjoyed and said: "The three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Song have not sent troops to attack Chu for the time being, so the pressure on our Chu State has been greatly reduced. And the smaller the restraint on the widow, the greater the pressure on the Qi State, and then, as long as my Chu State can defeat the Qi State once, even if it is only a small victory, it will shake the hearts of the people who have finally settled down in the Qi State.
As soon as the hearts of the people moved, how could the Qi State continue to attack the Yan Kingdom in peace! ”
Saying that, Xiong Huai's heart was very happy, and even his tone was quite brisk: "It seems that God treats the widow well, and he is still on the side of the Chu State." ”
Chen Zhen listened to the words of the King of Chu, remembered what happened during this time, and suddenly felt that the King of Chu was shrouded in a mysterious color, and bowed again and again: "God bless the Chu State, God bless the King, the Chu State will win." ”
When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed.
Before the laughter fell, Xiong Huai suddenly caught a glimpse of Qu Zhi hurriedly coming from outside, seeing this, Xiong Huai's heart suddenly stopped, and then he looked at Qu Zhi outside the hall with a wary face.
And pray silently in my heart: I hope there is no bad news!
Soon, Qu Wei walked into the hall quickly, and saw the King of Chu who was laughing happily just now, but at this time he looked at him with a wary face, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then remembered his purpose, and didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately reported: "King, Qu Yong, the envoy of Yan State, has just arrived in Huaiyin, and is asking to see the king outside the palace at this moment. ”
When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "Spread quickly, let him come to see the widow immediately." ”
"Yui."
