Chapter 136: The Two Saw the Snake Venerable The Song affair is coming to an end
Zhaoyang was also stunned when he saw this incredible scene.
Tian Ying, who had just woken up, looked around and found that a white python's tail was shrinking into the dark hole of the giant tree.
Tian Ying was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to Zhaoyang's side and pulled Zhaoyang's sleeves:
"Zhao Xiang...... Zhaoxiang! ”
After seeing the white python's tail disappear at the entrance of the cave, Zhaoyang also breathed a sigh of relief, patted his mouth, and said twice to Tian Ying on the side:
"It's okay, it's okay!"
At this time, Wei Si also came over and comforted the two of them:
"Don't panic the two of you, this white python won't hurt the two!"
Zhaoyang nodded, and then asked Wei Si:
"King Wei, this white python, can really understand the affairs of the world?"
Wei Si replied:
"Of course, if you don't believe Zhaoxiang, you can go and ask him!"
Zhaoyang was bold and leaned towards the hole in the tree:
"Okay, I'll try!"
Zhaoyang walked three steps away from the tree hole, and after standing still, he asked in the direction of the tree hole:
"The old man took the liberty to disturb the Divine Snake Venerable this time, because he wanted to come to seek relief from the Divine Snake Venerable Divine Snake, and I hope that the Divine Snake Venerable will not blame the old man!"
Suddenly there was a whistling sound from inside the cave, and some eerie strange sounds came out:
"Say what you have to say, say what you have to say!"
Zhaoyang's body trembled:
"Okay, then the old man asked!"
Zhaoyang paused for a moment and asked:
"Today, if you divide for a long time, you will be united, and you will be divided for a long time, I don't know if you can predict which country will unify the world in the end?"
A voice came from the horse in the cave:
"If you can unify the world today, of course, it is not Chu Biqin!"
Qi Xiangtian Ying's expression was a little unhappy at this time, and he hurriedly walked over and asked the snake in the cave:
"Why is it that this is the right and wrong Chu and Qin who dominate the world, and there is no Qi country? I don't know where you put our Qi country? ”
The cave replied:
"Today, Chu has Yunmeng, annexed Wu Yue, Qin has Hangu Pass, and has the grain of Bashu to give troops, and although your Qi country has the benefits of fish and salt, the country is rich, but it has also achieved the pleasure of the king and the people, a country that only wants to enjoy itself, how can it dominate the world?"
Zhaoyang said to Tian Ying with a smile on his face:
"Tian Xiang, this snake venerable is right, you should return to the Qi country this time to discuss with your King Qi a way to change!"
Tian Ying glanced up at Zhaoyang, who seemed to be a little ridiculous at herself:
"Okay, then I wish you Chu State can destroy Qin State first in the future, and completely eliminate your Chu State as the opponent who dominates the world!"
Zhaoyang replied:
"Yes, our Chu State will definitely pull out the stumbling block of the Qin State first."
After Zhaoyang finished speaking, he glanced at King Wei, who seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating not far behind him, and shouted:
"King Wei, why don't you come to ask the Snake Venerable with me and Tian Xiang?"
Wei Si didn't sleep well because he was busy in the middle of the night last night, and his spirit was naturally not so good, so he immediately returned to Zhaoyang:
"Zhaoxiang, the widow has already asked all the things that should be asked about the snake venerable, so there is no need to ask again."
Zhaoyang then turned around and whispered to the snake venerable in the cave:
"I don't know what you think about the fact that the Song State was attacked by the Wei State and was in danger of losing the country?"
The snake venerable immediately replied:
"The Song State is a country of thousands of times, and the Wei State is a country of ten thousand times, which cannot be compared, and although the Song State borrowed your Chu army to help, how can Song Jun have no way and have already offended the heavens, so it has also affected your Chu State, but the Song monarch first became a soup and Weizi is a person who is kind to God, so God will still give Song Guo a chance to reform himself!"
Zhaoyang let out a long breath:
"That's good, it's good that Song Guo can be saved, it's good that it can be saved!"
Then he asked:
"Snake Venerable, what are your strategies for preserving the Song Kingdom?"
I only heard the snake venerable in the cave reply:
"Whether the Song State can be preserved or not is actually in Chu, not Wei and Qi!"
Zhaoyang was a little puzzled:
"Why is it really in Chu? We, the Chu State, are wholeheartedly helping the Song State. ”
The snake venerable in the cave roared:
"Chu aided the Song Dynasty in order to seek the Song land, your country's move is really a strategy, even if you get these Song lands, the local Yin Shang descendants will complain, take up arms to resist your country, your country can think about the Zhou Wu King cut down and moved the Yin people to the Song land, and then, although the Song Yin people also participated in the serious rebellion of the three eunuchs, but the King of Zhou and Jiang Taigong still did not dare to tamper with the Song Yin people, but treated them more favorably!"
Zhaoyang said:
"But it was all seven hundred years ago, so long!"
The snake venerable said:
"The deity has said this, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not!"
When Zhaoyang asked again, there was no sound inside.
So Zhaoyang said to Tian Ying on the side:
"I don't know Qi Xiang, how do you understand the meaning of this snake venerable?"
Tian Ying replied:
"Snake Venerable, just remind Zhao Xiang that you are the twenty cities of the Song Kingdom, don't think about your Chu Kingdom!"
Zhaoyang couldn't help but say:
"Could it be that if our Chu State gives up these twenty cities, can we also exchange it for the Wei State and no longer destroy the Song State? And Wei is even more ambitious? ”
田影 says:
"Daliang is much closer to Song than you are to Song, and this time your Chu State helped Song State, but was defeated by Wei State, if you and the King of Chu still insist on asking for these twenty cities of Song State, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, so Chu Xiang, I also think you should go back and persuade you King Chu!"
Zhaoyang asked again:
"Could it be that our Chu State gave up the twenty cities that we asked for the Song State, and the Wei State can also give up the Taoyi and the ten cities on the south bank of the water that the Song State offered?"
Tian Ying then said:
"After all, this time Wei is a victorious country, and if we don't give Wei benefits, if the king of Wei is really angry and sends troops to destroy the Song state, then won't it be in vain for us to come this time? How will we meet our respective kings when we go back? So I think that if you Chu State took the initiative to give up asking for the twenty cities of the Song State first, the King of Wei will definitely make concessions. ”
Zhaoyang couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, Tian Xiang, what you said is also right, after all, we are only here to intercede for the Song State now, and it seems that this Song State Taoyi will also be given to the Wei State this time, and as for the ten cities of the water, just wait for me to go back and persuade our king to see if he can agree to give up temporarily!"
Tian Ying Yixi:
"That's right, as long as your Chu State takes the initiative to give up asking for the twenty cities of the Song State, then the Song State will definitely serve your Chu State as your own parents in the future!"
Zhaoyang nodded:
"Okay, it's been so long, it's time for me to go back to Yingdu, Tian Xiang, let's meet again next time."
After sending Chu Xiang and Qi Xiang away, Wei Si returned to the giant tree.
At this moment, a sweaty man with a python snake skin wrapped around his body crawled out of the hollow of the tree.
This man is none other than Meng Wan.
After Meng Wan gasped for a few breaths, he threw away the snake skin and came to Wei Si and asked in a whisper:
"King, do you think that the two old foxes of Tian Ying He Zhaoyang really believe in the snake Venerable I played?
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"Since you say they're old foxes, how can they not guess the mystery of the cave?"
Meng Wan asked again:
"But when I watched them come, I saw the expression in the cave, as if they were afraid, and if they guessed the mystery of the cave, why didn't they expose it?"
Wei Si replied:
"Because the widow is behind, even if they know that the snake venerable in the cave is just someone pretending, for the sake of the widow, they don't dare to be presumptuous, not to mention that this is our Wei country!"
Then he praised Meng Wan again:
"What you said just now, sir, it is Qin and Chu who will dominate the world in the future, this sentence is wonderful, it simply puts Qin and Chu on the fire again, presumably this time it will definitely make Chu and Qin, who have been vigilant against our Wei State, start fighting again, and if the King of Qi hears these words, he will only hate Qin and Chu, and maybe he will work with our Wei State to jointly promote Qin and Chu to start a war as soon as possible."
Meng Wan smiled:
"The minister is also an inspiration, but in this way, our Great Wei can finally have a few years of respite!"
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, it's time for our Wei Kingdom to recuperate."
Meng Wan suddenly asked:
"Then the king, have you planned to ask Song Guo for any compensation this time?"
Wei Si replied:
"I've almost thought about it, this Song State pottery land is going to be decided, as for the other ten cities, if the widows want it, I'm afraid that Qi and Chu will not agree this time."
Meng Wan proposed:
"King, since you can't get the land, then our Wei State has been fighting every year in the past few years, and the treasury is empty, so the king can ask the Song State for more food and property as compensation, so it's okay? Moreover, all Chu and Qi care about is the land of the Song Kingdom. ”
Wei Si replied:
"Yes, the widow has this intention, so the widow has to go back to Daliang tomorrow, wait for the reply of the Chu State, because the King of Qi has already privately written to the widow before, and he just persuaded the widow to give up the ten cities."
The capital of the country of Vietnam.
King Wujiang of Yue was singing and dancing with the concubines in the palace at this time, very happy, and did not seem to take the 300,000 Yue Chu army led by Jing Cui in his eyes.
Although there were constantly courtiers coming to report emergencies outside the palace, King Wujiang of Yue didn't hear it at all, but ordered people to drive away all these courtiers who reported emergencies.
In the northwest of Huiji, Yuhang City on the west bank of Zhejiang River was finally broken by the Chu army on this day.
Jing Cui also walked into the city with the generals who went out to fight.
After drinking a glass of celebratory wine in the city, the deputy general Qu Qi asked Jing Cui:
"General Jingcui, we have taken Yuhang this time, should we go to pacify Gusu first, or will we go to Huiji to arrest the king of Yue?"
Jing Cui hesitated:
"According to General Ben's intentions, of course, he wants to pacify Gusu first, cut off the support from the north of Yueguo, and then attack Huiji, but yesterday, General Ben received an urgent letter from our king, asking me to return to Yingdu immediately, alas, ......!"
Qu beggar said:
"Since General Jingcui is going back, then I will definitely pacify this Yue Kingdom for you, General!"
Jing Cui reminded Qu Beggy:
"Although the north and south of the Yue country have been cut off by our Chu army now, and most of its troops are located in the north, although they can't rescue Huiji in time, the 100,000 Vietnamese troops in Gusu can support Huiji from the sea, and the threat to our Chu army is also great, so I have a strategy to pacify Gusu first, General Qu Qi must be able to understand this general."
Qu Qi nodded:
"Okay, I will definitely obey General Jingcui and pacify Gusu first."
Suddenly, at this time, a messenger from Yingdu came in, and said to the two of them:
"The king ordered, the two generals Jing Cui and Qu Qi should get up and return to Yingdu immediately!"
Jing Cui was startled, and then glared at the messenger:
"What? General Qu also wants to return to Yingdu? To whom will the transgression be entrusted? ”
