Xianyang City.

A court meeting is unfolding in Xianyang Palace, and the atmosphere is very solemn and tense.

The theme of this court meeting is very simple, whether to rescue Chu or not?

I don't know if this is the first time that the Chu State has sent a request for help, but no matter from the number of requests for help or the news from the front line, everyone will have such a feeling that the Chu State is going to be defeated.

Not only is it going to be defeated, but it is not even impossible to be directly annihilated!

After all, the current state of Chu, the reconstruction of the capital of Yingdu is still far away, Chencheng has been controlled by the Han and Wei coalition forces, Shouchun has now been conquered by the Wei state, and the vast territory in the east has completely lost contact with the besieged current capital Xicheng.

There was no good news at all, and the people of Chu couldn't even find a reinforcement that could help at this time.

The State of Qin has become the only hope of the State of Chu, at least at this moment, it seems that this is the case with all the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qin in this court.

Don't look at the constant wars between Qin and Chu over the years, but Qin actually has a history of supporting each other and being close allies with Chu.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu appointed Sun Wu and Wu Zixu as the supreme commanders of the Wu army, led the elite Wu army all the way west, successively broke the Chu army and captured a large area of the Chu state, and finally broke through the Yingdu of the Chu state, so that the Chu state fell into a desperate situation of being swallowed by the snake of the Wu state for a while.

Under such circumstances, it was the Qin State that sent troops to rescue the Chu State in distress, which enabled the Chu State to avoid this disaster of annihilation.

Although time has long passed, when the current Qin people mention this matter, they still have a sense of pride in their hearts that "Lao Tzu was kind to you Chu back then".

Now, the state of Chu is once again facing the danger of losing the country, and the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qin once again need to make a choice.

Chu State, to save or not to save?

As Xiangbang, Yangquan Jun Qianchen was undoubtedly the first person to speak: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, this Chu country must be saved!" It must be known that Han and Wei are allies of Zhao, and if they are divided between Chu by these Han and Wei countries, Zhao's power will rise even more, and my Great Qin will be in danger at that time! ”

There are pros and cons, of course, there are disadvantages.

If there is anyone in the current Qin court who likes to oppose the opinions of Qian Chen the most, then this person is definitely not Cai Ze, the former Xiangbang Gangjun, but the newly ascended Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei coughed, and said unhurriedly: "Yangquanjun's words, I think it needs to be discussed. Although the state of Chu used to be friendly with Great Qin, in recent years, there have been constant wars between Qin and Chu, and they have long regarded each other as enemies. On the other hand, although Han and Wei are now allies of Zhao, it is not impossible to win over, it is better to sit back and watch Han Wei win, and then win over Han and Wei to fight against Zhao together. ”

As soon as Lu Buwei's words came out, Qian Chen's face immediately showed an unhappy look, glared at Lu Buwei fiercely, and then said, "It's just nonsense!" If it is made big by Han and Wei, then in the end, they will only be able to threaten Great Qin together with Zhao State, how can they be willing to join forces with my Great Qin? ”

Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "Yangquan Jun, have you forgotten who attacked Daliang City, the capital of the Wei State?" Even Wei Wangyu himself fell into the hands of Zhao Guoren! Such a shameful humiliation, how could Wei Wangyu not report it? I heard that the envoys of Wei have arrived in Xianyang recently, and Yangquanjun, as a prime minister, will not be ignorant of this matter, right? ”

These words immediately choked Qian Chen's whole person, because Qi Chen really didn't know anything about it.

Why? Because now the highest official in charge of foreign affairs in the Qin State is simply Lü Buwei's person, this news is obviously secretly concealed by Lü Buwei, and it was only at this time that he took it out to attack Mi Chen.

Lu Buwei saw that Mi Chen had nothing to say, and then said to Zi Chu, who was sitting at the top: "Prince, the minister thinks that Daqin has experienced several wars, and now it should be based on recuperation and recuperation, and should not use swords lightly, otherwise, if Zhao sends troops from Hedong when Daqin rescues Chu, then wouldn't Daqin fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back again?" ”

Since he became the Big Three, Lü Buwei received an order from Handan to "kill Bai Qi if he has the opportunity, if he doesn't have the opportunity to kill Bai Qi, then Bai Qi will not be able to get any chance to lead the troops." ”

Lü Buwei personally didn't understand why King Zhao was so jealous of Bai Qi, after all, in Lü Buwei's opinion, Bai Qi was just a veteran who had been defeated by Lian Po.

But Lü Buwei is a smart man, since King Zhao has a life, then he will carry it out well.

From this point of view, the current execution of Lü Buwei is actually quite good.

After listening to Lu Buwei's words, Zichu was also a little hesitant in his heart.

Of course, Zi Chu knew very well why Mi Chen advocated the rescue of Chu State, because Mi Chen himself was a native of Chu State, and the Mi family was originally the Duke of Chu State, and in such a situation, Mi Chen naturally wanted to spare no effort to pull Chu State into a horse.

But Mi Chen is a native of Chu, but Zi Chu is not.

Zi Chu's mother is nominally Mrs. Huayang, Mi Chen's sister, but that is just an adoptive, and his real mother Xia Jike has nothing to do with Chu Guo.

From this point of view, in fact, Zi Chu and Chu Guo have no feelings in it.

Zi Chu pondered for a long time, and then turned his gaze to another important minister of the Qin State who had been sitting on the side without speaking.

"Gang Chengjun, what do you think of this?"

Everyone's eyes immediately moved to Gang Chengjun Cai Ze.

To be honest, Cai Ze himself actually enjoys the feeling of being in the limelight.

is also thanks to the blessing of the recent fierce battles between the two former close friends and current political enemies of Mi Chen and Lu Buwei, Cai Ze can often become this kind of decisive role.

There is no doubt that this made Cai Ze's power and prestige in the political arena of the Qin State slowly rise again.

After hearing Zi Chu's question, Cai Ze coughed and said slowly: "Prince, in the opinion of the ministers, if you send troops to save Zhao, it will not be beneficial to my Great Qin, not only can you not capture a city and a pool, but you will die the lives of a large number of soldiers for the Chu State, is this a good policy?" This aid to Chu is not enough. ”

As soon as Mi Chen heard this, he was anxious, and immediately shouted: "Cai Ze, Qin and Chu have been friends for hundreds of years, can you ignore it?" ”

Cai Ze shook his head and said slowly: "Dare to ask Yangquanjun, there was also a 'good Qin and Jin' in the past, what happened between Qin and Jin later?" ”

Qi Chen had to continue talking, but Zi Chu had already knocked on the table and made a decision in a deep voice.

"Well, no more talking. I have made up my mind, this matter of aiding Chu, and put it on hold for the time being! ”

In Mi Chen's extremely disappointed expression, Lu Buwei and Cai Ze glanced at each other, and there was a hint of a smile in their eyes.
