Chapter 10 Breaking Diplomatic Relations with Qi Country
"Chen Qing, what objections do you have?" Xiong Huai's heart is like a mirror, this is the opportunity for everyone to give the opportunity to disgust Zhang Yi to his sworn enemy.
"Back to the king, Wei Chen has no objection to the matter of absolute qi."
"Ao, do you think that our Chu State should accept the land of Shangyu?"
"Wechen also thinks that the land of business can be avoided."
"Then Aiqing, why is this?"
"Back to the king, Weichen just expressed doubts about the intentions of the Qin State."
"Ao, Aiqing, please speak."
Zhang Yi saw that it was Chen Zhen who jumped out, and immediately knew in her heart that the drama was coming. In the past, in order to expelle Chen Zhen from the Qin State, he spread rumors and slander in front of the King of Qin several times, causing Chen Zhen to come to the Chu State, and now that he came to the Chu State to sue for peace, Chen Zhen will definitely cause great damage.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I have a question below, I don't know if I can solve my doubts." Chen Zhen asked Zhang Yi.
"Please advise."
Chen Zhen asked: "I once heard that a few years ago, the State of Pakistan and the State of Shu had a dispute, and asked the State of Qin for mediation for this, I wonder if there is such a thing?" โ
When Zhang Yi heard Chen Zhen mention Bashu, she wondered in her heart, could it be that the Chu State wanted the land of Bashu.
In the past, Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo fought in front of King Qin Huiwen, because the two countries of Bashu asked Qin to intervene, and happened to encounter Korea being pitted by Chu State, and came to attack Qin, and King Qin did not know whether to send troops to Bashu or attack Korea, so he asked Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to debate.
As a result, Zhang Yi lost to Sima Cuo in the mouth, and the king of Qin decided to send troops to Bashu.
The purpose of Qin's attack on Bashu was threefold, one was to gain the reputation of the virtue of prohibiting violence and quelling chaos, the second was to obtain the wealth of Bashu and Shu, and the third was to attack the hinterland of Chu downstream.
Now that the first two goals have been achieved, the third goal is far away because of the Chu State's stubborn defense of Hanzhong.
Bashu is now of little effect on the Qin State, but it is a problem for the Chu State.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." โ
Chen Zhen continued: "I also heard that after the Qin State sent troops into Bashu, the two countries of Bashu were destroyed by the Qin State. โ
Hearing this, Zhang Yi interrupted Chen Zhen's words and said: "Keqing's words are wrong, it is true that my Qin State sent troops, but the two countries of Bashu were not destroyed by the Qin State. โ
"In the past, the two countries of Bashu fought with each other, and the people were not able to make a living, and I heard that the king of Qin was virtuous, and at the same time asked for help from the state of Qin and asked for mediation. It's a pity that the morality of King Qin is not as good as that of King Wen, and after the envoys of the two countries of Bashu arrived in Qin, they did not feel ashamed when they saw the grand occasion of Qin, but accused the other party of being wrong and asked Qin to judge. โ
"At the invitation of Bashu, the army of our Qin State entered Bashu and quelled the dispute between the two countries. Afterwards, the two countries of Bashu longed for the benevolence, righteousness and kindness of the Qin State, and felt the virtuous morality of the Qin king, so they asked for it to be incorporated into the Qin State. โ
"How can my Qin State be a country that covets land, so I rejected the demands of the two countries. Bashu asked again and again, but my king still refused to allow it. In order to avoid the martyrdom of the king of Shu, the king of Qin agreed to the request of the king of Shu, and took the king of Shu as the candidate of Shu to merge the Bashu into the state of Qin, so that the people outside the Bashu could also bathe in the grace of the king of Qin. โ
Xiong Huai was dumbfounded when he heard it, no wonder Zhang Yi is a vertical and horizontal family, and his predecessor is a fool with insufficient IQ balance, this mouth is too good to say, and he can't accept it.
In the face of Qin's troops, the king of Ba would rather die than surrender, but the king of Ba died, and the king of Shu was timid and shamefully surrendered, and as a result, he was named Shu Hou, becoming the benchmark of Qin and becoming a symbol of benevolence and morality of King Qin.
Could it be that the morality of King Qin is so high that the kings of other countries cry and shout to be a junior brother, no, it is not even a servant of the junior brother.
If this is the case, will other countries still besiege Qin!
Chen Zhen smiled and said: "The king, the survival is interrupted, the way of heaven and the way of heaven are human, and now the sacrifice of the country of Ba has been interrupted for several years, and the brother of the king of Ba has come to my Chu country for several years, lamenting day and night, looking west and crying, lamenting that the blood sacrifice of the ancestors of the country of Ba does not exist. โ
"Since the country of Ba was not destroyed by the state of Qin, then we are willing to send the brother of the king of Ba back to China to worship the ancestors of the country of Ba. Survival is interrupted, and our Chu State will not let the Qin State be pretended, and if you want to come to the King of Qin, you will not stop it. โ
โยทยทยทโ Xiong Huai was stunned and said secretly: "Does my Chu State have the younger brother of King Ba in his hands?" Why didn't the ex have an impression of this, was he negligent? Or was it just made by Chen Zhen? โ
Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiong Huai still turned his eyes to look at Zhang Yi and asked, "I don't know what Qin Guo thinks." โ
When Zhang Yi saw the King of Chu asking, he immediately understood that the land of Chu was not to be discussed, and it was originally intended to be the territory of Ba.
The manpower and material resources of Ba are not as good as those of Shu, and Chu controls Wujun, and it has become an empty phrase to go downstream.
Besides, every time Zhang Yi heard the news of Bashu, he thought of Sima Cuo, and when he thought of Sima Cuo, he felt angry in his heart, if Chu Guo took Bashu, it would also be a heart disease for him.
In the end, the most important thing is that he Zhang Yi only wanted Chu State and Qi State to break off diplomatic relations, and he never thought about ceding land to Chu State at all, no matter where Chu State wanted, the result would be the same.
Zhang Yi saluted the king of Chu at this time and smiled: "If there are still descendants of Ba still alive, it would be great." The minister can promise the brother of the king of Ba and grant him the position of Bahou. โ
As soon as Xiong Huai heard Zhang Yi say, he immediately understood that this was Zhang Yi's agreement to give up Pakistan. As long as the army of the Chu State enters the State of Ba, the State of Ba will become the territory of the State of Chu in an instant.
As for the statement, Zhang Yi has already said just now that this is Ba Hou's admiration for his benevolence, righteousness and kindness of the King of Chu, and he wants to bathe in the glory of the King of Chu.
Xiong Huai ordered. "That being the case, the decree is that my Chu State will immediately break off diplomatic relations with the Qi State. Immediately send an envoy to the State of Qi to explain the original intention of the State of Chu to the King of Qi, and to inform all countries of the news that our State of Chu and the State of Qi have severed diplomatic relations. โ
"Where is Qu Kuo?"
"The end will be."
"Let you immediately set off to return to the front line, lead a part of the soldiers and horses, and prepare to meet Bahou and return to Pakistan."
"The last general will obey orders."
"Order, Zhu Guo Jingcui, immediately evacuate from the border of Qin and return to the country to rest."
"Send an edict to send an envoy into the Qin State to discuss with the King of Qin about Bahou's return to China."
Hearing a series of orders from the King of Chu to withdraw all the troops on the front line, Zhang Yi immediately saluted: "The King of Chu is wise. โ
"The king is wise." The other ministers also said.
As for the 100,000 heavy troops deployed by the Chu State in the Chu and Han dynasties, and the heavy troops arranged by the Qin State in the Qin and Han Dynasties, both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not mention it, and it was useless to mention this kind of thing, and neither side would believe the other.
Qin captured Hanzhong of Chu State, then the Jianghan area of Chu State was fully exposed to Qin's troops. Once the state of Chu captures the southern Zheng Hanzhong of the state of Qin, then the Guanzhong of the state of Qin will lose contact with Bashu.
Xiong Huai waited for a while, and seeing that the minister had nothing else to report, he announced his retirement from the court.
After all the others withdrew, Zhaoyang stood up slowly and said, "Come on, take me to see the king, I have something to say to the king of Chu." โ
