Chapter 294: Blackmail
Luoyi.
With the continuous arrival of war reports between Zhao and Wei, the strength of the Qin State is being damaged every day, Xiong Huai feels that even in this hot autumn day, every day is not so difficult, especially when he hears the progress of the coalition army, he is even more refreshed, his body is cold, and the depression on his head seems to have dissipated a lot.
Just when Xiong Huai and King Han were drinking, Chen Zhen walked in and saluted the two: "The minister has seen the king, and he has seen the king of Han." β
"No courtesy."
After the ceremony.
When King Han saw Chen Zhen arrive, he stood aside and was silent, and immediately knew that Chen Zhen had something to say to King Chu.
So, King Han immediately bowed his hand to Xiong Huai and said, "Alliance leader, the widow just remembered that there is still something important to deal with, why don't you and I meet tomorrow?" β
Xiong Huai smiled: "In this case, King Han can go by himself, and we will continue tomorrow." β
After King Han left, Chen Zhen immediately spoke: "Great King, there is news from Zhaohua of Yue that not long ago, the envoy of Qin secretly visited Vietnam, and after the envoy of Qin left, King Yue ordered to gather the army, saying that he was going to carry out autumn in the country. β
"Autumn Blossom?" Xiong Huai laughed dumbly.
The so-called autumn hunting refers to the autumn large-scale hunting activity, which used to be an activity to show force to the world and train the army.
It's just that in the current era when there is basically no war in that year, it is still necessary to show force and train the army to hold an autumn battle, and it will be over if the army is directly pulled out to fight a battle, where is there any need to play these false things.
Xiong Huai finished laughing, and then said with a straight face: "It seems that the Qin State has hooked up with the Yue Kingdom." β
Chen Zhen nodded heavily.
Then, Xiong Huai asked puzzledly: "But when the widow came to Luoyi, he still let Tang Wu lead more than 100,000 troops to be stationed in Tuntian, Shou County, and the 50,000 Chu troops of Ejun in Guangling were not transferred. β
Chen Zhen also said suspiciously: "Great King, after Zhao Hua learned that King Yue was going to carry out the Autumn Raid, he had already notified the Emperor of E and Si Defeat, and asked them to be on guard, if King Yue wanted to fight the idea of Chu State, he would definitely be attacked head-on." β
Saying that, Chen Zhen said worriedly: "Great King, the minister is worried that this time the Yue State may be fighting the idea of Qi State. β
Xiong Huai nodded: "Yes, it is entirely possible, the Qi State was weakened before, and now that the main force of the Qi army is outside, the King of Yue is likely to take advantage of the Qi State, force the Qi State to withdraw its troops, and relieve the siege for the Qin StateΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Next.
When Chen Zhen was reporting the news of Qi to Xiong Huai, Doctor Shangguan came from outside with a solemn face.
After saluting, Doctor Shangguan spoke: "Your Majesty, Ling Yin has sent news that Yingdu has received a report from Sima Qian, the guard of Wujun, that Sima Cuo has made an abnormality in Badi and may send troops to Wujun. β
Xiong Huai glanced at Doctor Shangguan and asked casually, "That's it?" The Qin State is now too busy to take care of itself, how can Sima Cuo have the strength to attack Wu County, this is just a suspicious strategy. β
"Let Sima Jian be careful and guard Wujun."
Doctor Shangguan shook his head and said, "King, if it is just this little thing, Ling Yin will naturally not report to the king, what really worries Ling Yin is another matter." Twenty days ago, Sima Jian found a Yue man in Wujun, and after inquiry, this person was a shipbuilder of the Yue Kingdom. β
"Vietnamese shipbuilders?" Xiong Huai was stunned.
Yue Guo is at the end of the river, Wu County is in the upper reaches of the river, the wind and cattle and horses are not related, how can the shipbuilders of Yue go to Wu County.
Then, Xiong Huai was shocked and said, "Could it be that this shipbuilder is from Badi." β
Doctor Shangguan replied: "The king is wise, it is said that this shipbuilder was given to the Qin State by the King of Yue two years ago, and then arranged by the Qin State to build a ship in Badi. It's just that the Qin law is harsh, Sima Cuo is brutal, this shipbuilder worked day and night to build a ship for Sima Cuo for two years, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to flee back to Yueguo, so he secretly hid a plank, and while the guards were not paying attention, he lay on the plank and floated down the river. β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
Lying on the plank, he drifted from Badi to Wujun, which Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
If it weren't for the fact that this person had a fat life, it would have been too easy to attack Wujun from Badi.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and said: "Whether this matter is true or not, Sima Jian has verified it. β
Doctor Shangguan swallowed his saliva and said: "King, according to the information provided by the Yue people, Sima Jian has sent someone to verify it, and it turns out that in the place that the Yue people said, the shipbuilding site of the Qin State was indeed discovered. β
"Sima Cuo is now building ships day and night in Badi, and he has thousands of small boats, and hundreds of large, medium and small wing boats."
Xiong Huai gasped when he heard this.
I didn't expect Sima to do such a big thing by Bashu, who was silent, if Chu State didn't get this news, he still looked at Qin State with his previous eyes, and sooner or later he would have to suffer a big loss.
After the Qin State possessed warships, not only did its combat power increase greatly, but its supply capacity was also greatly enhanced. Going down the river and attacking Yingdu is no longer an empty word.
Just thinking about it, Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "King, the news from the Yue State side, could it be that the Qin State said that the King of Yue was going to attack from both sides, and while the main force of my Chu army was outside, waiting for the opportunity to attack the rear of the Chu State?" β
Xiong Huai fell into deep thought when he heard this.
After being silent for a while, Xiong Huai spoke: "No, this should be a suspicious plan of the Qin State and the Yue State, the widow has a heavy army in Huainan, and the Yue State has no chance." β
"As for the Qin State..." Xiong Huai sneered: "Naval division combat is not comparable to foot soldiers, you have to go through years of training, which can be fought in the river if you have a warship." β
"If you wait for three or five years, the widow may be worried that the Qin State will attack Wujun and attack Yingdu, but now, the sailors of the Qin State are still too young and have no combat power at all."
Saying that, Xiong Huai said to Doctor Shangguan: "Xianqing, send an order to Sima Jian and let him be on guard, in addition, the widow will send 10,000 sailors to reinforce Wujun." β
"No." Doctor Shangguan responded, and then asked: "King, that shipbuilder of the Yue Kingdom, do we use him to question why the Yue Kingdom is treacherous?" β
"No." Xiong Huai shook his head when he heard this: "Our alliance between the Chu State and the Yue State is aimed at the Qi State, and the Yue State has no right to intervene or communicate with other countries. And even if the widow uses this person to question Yue Guo, as long as Yue Guo denies it, then we are helpless. β
King Shangguan said angrily: "King, this behavior of the Yue Kingdom now is undoubtedly a betrayal of our Chu State, and a knife is inserted in our back, is it just that?" β
"Of course not." Xiong Huai thought for a while and said: "The widow plans to give that shipbuilder of the Yue Kingdom to the King of Yue, saying that this is the top shipbuilder in the world found by the Chu State, who can build a big ship that can penetrate thousands of miles into the sea. β
"The widow knew that King Yue liked to eat sea fish, so he specially gave this shipbuilder to King Yue. Let the king of Yue not have to be grateful to the widow, this shipbuilder is a widow who sold it to the king of Yue, and only needs a thousand catties of gold. β
"This..." Doctor Shangguan was stunned when he heard this.
Xiong Huai said with a smile: "In addition, let Ejun strengthen the vigilance in Guangling City, enter a state of combat readiness, and respond to the attack of the Yue Kingdom at any time." In addition, it was reported that Qi and Chu had formed a deep friendship in this war, so the widow decided to promote Qi Mei to be his wife. β
βΒ·Β·Β·β
Doctor Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to King Chu's intentions.
Guangling City entered the war readiness, this is to show the Yue State that the Chu State is ready to attack the Yue State, and the promotion of Qi Meiren is the wife, this is to intimidate the Yue King, now the Chu State is the strongest, and the Chu State and all countries are allies, and the Qi and Chu countries will surround the Yue State, who will be the next target of the Chu State, let the Yue State weigh it himself.
Thinking about it, Doctor Shangguan bowed to the King of Chu and said, "The king is wise! β
