Chapter 4 Qu Yuan's Advances
As a person with strong patriotic sentiments, a person who has been determined to serve the Chu State since he was a child, a person who is ready to dedicate himself to the Chu State and the King of Chu, and as a person whose feelings for the Chu State are second only to the King of Chu, it is time to come forward to dispel the concerns of the King of Chu and make the final decision.
Qu Yuan, who was inspired by the king of Chu, walked out.
Stood aside from Chen Zhen, saluted Xiong Huai, got up and said: "King, I think what Keqing said is a steady word, Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and Zhang Yi is also a capricious villain, their words must not be trusted. If, as Keqing said, the Qin State only pretended to ally with our Chu State, and we rashly broke off diplomatic relations with the Qi State, we would inevitably offend the Qin and Qi countries at the same time, and fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness. ”
Xiong Huai heard Qu Yuan's first sentence, that is, he agreed with Chen Zhen's opinion, and suddenly had an urge to scold.
This is the good friend I have high hopes for, this is the first romantic poet in China who was considered talented by later generations, and this is Qu Yuan, who was considered talented by later generations?
Seeing that the King of Chu was sitting on top and fell into an ideological struggle for a while, Qu Yuan took a step forward here and said loudly: "King, don't listen to Zhang Yi's words. The Qin State wants our Chu State and the Qi State to break off diplomatic relations, yes, unless the Qin State cedes the land first to show the sincerity of the friendship between the Qin State and the Chu State, it is absolutely impossible to break off the Qi thing."
After Qu Yuan finished speaking, he took another step forward, bent down, and asked the King of Chu to make a decision as soon as possible.
Seeing that Qu Yuan agreed with his suggestion, Chen Zhen also took a step forward, standing side by side with Qu Yuan, and bowed down at the same time.
“···” Facing Qu Yuan, who made a generous statement, Xiong Huai was speechless for a while.
Even Qu Yuan, who was considered the most talented by later generations, agreed to break off diplomatic relations with Qi State, and even the only foreign senior talent introduced by Chu State, two people with high hopes agreed to break off diplomatic relations with Qi State, which means that the whole Chu State has reached an agreement on breaking off diplomatic relations with Qi State?
Ling Yin Zhaoyang also felt that what he had just agreed seemed too hasty, so he just nodded and did not speak.
Qu Yuan Chen Zhen bent over for a while, and Doctor Shangguan saw that the face of the King of Chu had changed, and there were faint signs of changing the hexagram, and when he saw his sworn enemy Qu Yuan bending down and saluting with righteousness, it seemed that except for him Qu Yuan, other Chu people did not love Chu State, and other Chu people were just wine bags and rice bags.
When you have anger in your heart, you immediately turn to action.
Doctor Shangguan stood up.
Xiang Chu said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with the words of Keqing and Doctor Sanlu. Previously, the reason why we wanted to form an alliance with the Qi State was because the Qin State was too threatening, and we were worried that the Qin State would retaliate against our Chu State, and with blood our Chu State led the Five Nations Alliance to besiege the hatred of the Qin State. ”
"Now the Qin State has taken the initiative to form an alliance with our Chu State, not only ignoring the hatred of our Chu State leading the Five Kingdoms to besiege Hangu Pass five years ago, but also ignoring the hatred of us and the United Qi State last year to seize the important town of Qin State and surround Yuzhong, but instead form an alliance with our Chu State."
"Great King, the State of Qi deceived our State of Chu, and now the State of Qin wants to attack the State of Qi, this is a God-given opportunity for our State of Chu, to take the opportunity to break off diplomatic relations with the State of Qi, make peace with the State of Qin, and then, in the words of Keqing, is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit and watch the battle between the State of Qin and the State of Qi, no matter who loses or who wins, it is the victory of our State of Chu."
As soon as Xiong Huai saw Doctor Shangguan stand up, he was not happy at first, and then immediately realized that he had received the influence of later generations, subjectively sympathized with Qu Yuan, preconceived, and looked at people with emotions.
Judge Qu Yuan again in his heart, short-sighted, and in the game.
Thinking about it this way, and looking at Doctor Shangguan again, it is really pleasing to the eye.
Just waited for him to say it, he was stunned, and according to his meaning, the Chu State should not even have a place to discuss it, and directly form an alliance with the Qin State.
resisted the urge to smash him on the head with a bamboo slip, and barely listened to him, Xiong Huai felt a little better, it turned out that this product wanted to take advantage of the fisherman.
If there was no understanding that the Qin State would dominate the world in later generations, Xiong Huai almost nodded in agreement.
It's just that when he thought of the theory of passing Qin and the theory of the Six Kingdoms in later generations, Xiong Huai's heart was cold, and the reason why the Six Kingdoms were destroyed was because of disunity and dragging each other back.
If the state of Chu drags the back of the state of Qi today, it is inevitable that the state of Qi will drag the hind legs of the state of Chu in the future. The Qi State is okay, it is the farthest away from the Qin State, and the Qin State will not be able to fight for a while, but the Chu State is on the edge of the Qin State, which has to be guarded against.
Especially listening to what Doctor Shangguan said, the State of Chu also fought several battles with the State of Qin last year, seized the Qudi of the State of Qin, and surrounded Yuzhong. Hearing the prompt, the memory of the predecessor immediately came out, as if there was really such a thing, the general who defeated the Qin State was the general Qu Kuo who was watching the play below.
Qudi and Yuzhong are not familiar, but Hanzhong Xionghuai is still very familiar, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms seems to be so much, Hanzhong is an important passage connecting Shuzhong and Guanzhong.
The wealth of Bashu···
Wait, according to the memory of the predecessor, the current Bashu has not yet been Dujiangyan, it is still a barren land, it is simply a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. The only function is that it can go down the river and directly attack the hinterland of the Chu State.
The reason why Chu formed an alliance with Qi was because after Qin captured Bashu four years ago, he drooled over Hanzhong [note 1] of Chu, which was too much of a threat to Chu in the lower reaches of the Han River and Yangtze River.
Once the Qin State captured the Hanzhong Land of the Chu State, it would form a strong victory over the Chu State, and even the capital city of Yingdu would be within the range of the Qin State's attack. It is simply not too convenient for the Qin State to go down the river to attack the Chu State, and the Chu State to attack the Qin State against the current is simply a nightmare difficulty.
The predecessor had a clear understanding of this situation, and before the predecessor joined the joint attack on Qin, he once said something like this: "My country, the west is adjacent to the Qin state, and the Qin state has the ambition to seize Bashu and annex Hanzhong, and the Qin state is greedy and violent like a tiger and wolf, and it is impossible to be friendly with it." Han and Wei were forced by the threat of Qin, and they could not plan and cooperate with them deeply, and if they conspired with them, I am afraid that they would fall into the arms of Qin. In this way, before the plan has been put into practice, the state of Chu will be in a catastrophe. In my own opinion, the state of Chu alone against the state of Qin may not be able to achieve victory; I can't rely on the plans of the ministers, I can't sleep and eat, my mind is uncertain, like a flag fluttering, and I have nothing to support. ”
After all the Qin States seized Bashu, the Chu State was frightened, and only when it had just fought with the Qi State, he licked his face, went to form an alliance with the Qi State in a low voice, and then turned the gun and went all out to deal with the Qin State.
