Xiong Huai used his eyes to stop the minister who wanted to accuse Chen Huan.

Then looking at Chen Huan was even more pleasing to the eye.

The sage of the enemy is my enemy, and the Yue country used such an envoy to envoy the Chu country, which shows how serious the situation of no one in the Yue country is. Every time such a courtier appears in the Yue Kingdom, it is considered half an ally of the Chu State, and for the appearance of such talents in the enemy country, of course, the more the merrier.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Huan is the first minister of another country that Xiong Huai has seen at the level of an ordinary person, and he has greatly experienced the superiority of IQ.

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't need to say much, now that the king of Yue is benevolent and righteous, how dare our Chu State not obey the orders of the king of Yue." ”

"The matter of the alliance between Chu and Yue, the widow can give a clear answer to the envoy now, that is, our Chu State has agreed, not only that, but the widow thinks that he is not as benevolent and righteous as the king of Yue, and is willing to respect the king of Yue as the leader of the alliance, obey the call of the king of Yue, and send troops to attack Qi."

Chen Huanxi said: "King, this is true! ”

Xiong Huai nodded solemnly and said, "You have no jokes." ”

Xianyang, Qin State.

King Qin Huiwen stood on the city wall, looking southeast.

"Xiangguo, where is the princess's convoy now?" King Qin Hui asked as if talking to himself.

Zhang Yi replied: "King, I'm afraid that I have now entered the territory of Chu State. ”

King Qin Huiwen nodded, for a long time, sighed and said, "Xiangguo, do you say that our Qin State can defeat the Chu State?" ”

Zhang Yi knew that King Qin was at a loss in his heart, although he was not sure, but he still puffed up and said: "King, the elite level of our Qin army's army far exceeds that of Chu, and it is still to fight more and fight less, to be prepared and unprepared, this battle will be won." Besides, the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent. ”

King Qin Huiwen sighed lightly and said, "What Xiangguo said is reasonable, and the arrow is on the bow, so I have to send it." ”

"Pass on the order of the widow, and order the right guard to lead the army to set off immediately."

"Xianqing, you should also go."

Wei Zhang bowed to King Qin and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”

Chu.

"Great King, Weichen received news that Qin Guoyu led 300,000 Qin troops to leave Hangu Pass, travel thirty miles a day, and go to Yiyang, South Korea." As soon as Zhao Ju got the movement of the Qin State, he immediately entered the Chu Palace to report to the King of Chu.

The soldiers of the Qin State sent a letter to the Guguan, instead of the soldiers out of the Wuguan, which was indeed good news for the Chu State.

Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in his heart finally fell, and he sighed: "The Qin State has finally sent troops. ”

Zhao Ju continued: "Great King, after the Qin State sent troops, it has already sent elite soldiers to block the passage into Guanzhong, and it is still very wary of our Chu State. ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "This is a matter of course, if the war is about to start today, only our Chu State has the strength to attack other countries, and it is natural for all countries to guard against Chu State." ”

Zhao Ju didn't speak when he heard this.

The Chu army camp north of Danshui.

The general Qu Kuo was holding a piece of silk and meticulously wiping a long sword.

This was a gift given to him by the King of Qin when the envoy of the Qin State passed by the camp before.

In addition to this sword, of course, there are many other things, but Qu Kuo's favorite is this sword, the whole body is made of US dollars (copper), the inside is tough and the outside is strong, the sharpness is abnormal, the exterior is blue-green, the sword body is finely carved with moire, and it is carefully polished by skilled craftsmen at a glance.

Zhang Xing walked in quickly and said to Qu Kuo: "Your Majesty, I just received an order from Yingdu. ”

Qu Kuo glanced at Zhang Xing and smiled casually: "What's the matter?" Do you still want me to be wary of the Qin State? ”

Zhang Xing bent down and handed over a wooden tablet with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not this time, the princess of Qin has already entered the palace, and the two countries of Qin and Chu have formed an alliance." The king sent an order, and after the arrival of the envoy of the brother of the king of Ba from the state of Qin, he asked the king to divide his troops to send the king of Ba back to the country. ”

Qu Kuo put down his sword, picked up the wooden tablet and glanced at it, and said with a worried brow: "Now that the Qin State has made friends with our Chu State, it is a pity to send troops to attack the Qi State!" ”

Zhang Xing sighed and said, "Your Excellency is worried about the affairs of Pakistan? ”

Qu Kuo nodded and said, "The king originally ordered me to escort the brother of King Ba back to China, and let the pillar defend the Qin State. But he didn't want to cause a big change in the situation because of Yin Zhaoyang's death. ”

"Before the Qin State sent troops, the Zhu State was transferred to the east, and I was delayed here."

"Now I don't worry about the Qin State, now I have nearly 150,000 troops in my hands, all of which are elite soldiers, even if the Qin State attacks on a large scale, I am not afraid at all. Now, I'm worried about something else. ”

Zhang Xing was worried when he heard this: "Your Excellency is worried about these people in the army. ”

Qu Kuo put the wooden tablet on the desk and said, "That's right. ”

"Originally, these people took refuge in me in order to gain the credit of conquering Pakistan. Now that I have been delayed by the defense of Qin, I can no longer go to Pakistan, so I can only arrange a partial general to take them to Pakistan. ”

"But according to the military law of the Chu State, a general can only lead 5,000 troops, and only 10,000 more."

"And we received gifts from more than a hundred nobles, and more than three hundred nobles, and these people together were five hundred, and with their retinues, there were four or five thousand. This is not counting those local feudal lords who led their own armies and said that they responded to the king's call and led their own troops to participate in the war. ”

"These people originally followed me and the Zhu State to attack the Qin State, but as a result, more than 30 feudal monarchs, combined, only sent more than 10,000 servants one after another. Now as soon as I heard that I was going to follow the general to capture Pakistan, I immediately transferred elite soldiers from the fiefdom, ranging from hundreds to more than 1,000 people, adding up to nearly 30,000 people, these people are not at all a general in a position, and a person whose title is barely equal to them can command. ”

Zhang Xing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I only heard that these people are here to be loyal to the country, but I have not heard that these people are going to conquer the country of Pakistan. ”

Qu Kuo shook his head and said, "Although I can say that, I am worried that when I lead the army again in the future, there will be no one to respond to me." ”

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, these people are not here for you from beginning to end. If we still fight with Qin and Qi now, they will also send miscellaneous soldiers, and if we fight with a small country like Song Lu, they will also send elite soldiers, so these people don't have to worry. ”

"Besides, they responded to the king's call, so they naturally wanted to be the king's leader, and now they can't even go to Pakistan, let alone them."

Qu Kuo was furious when he heard this: "That's right, now I don't even have the credit for expanding my own territory, let alone them." ”

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "Your Majesty, although they can't attack Pakistan, they can't burn their anger on your superiors, you need to shift the target." ”

Qu Kuo asked, "How to divert their anger?" ”

Zhang Xing pointed to the wooden slip on the case and said, "Your Excellency, look." ”

Qu Kuo looked at Mu Jian, shook his head violently, and said: "It's not proper, the king is wise and treats me well, so that Yin Zhaoyang is highly respected and has been buried in the ground, this is not good!" ”

Zhang Xing swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Qin Guo..."

Qu Kuo glared at Zhang Xing dissatisfied, and then ordered: "Come here, pass on the general's order, and immediately invite the generals to come to discuss the matter." ”
