At this time, outside the Hangu Pass, the armies of the Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty had already gathered together.

Regarding this alliance, Xiong Huai wanted to unite with the Three Jin Dynasty to restrict the Qin State.

For this, South Korea has nothing to say, just betrayed the Qin State, lest it be retaliated by the Qin State, and now the Qin State has been driven back to Hexi, and now the Qin State has sent troops to the east, and the best way to go is to send troops out of Guguan, these days the newly enthroned King Han Xiang, who has not eaten well and slept well, has lost a lot of weight.

Therefore, South Korea responded most positively to the idea that the king of Chu wanted to restrain the Qin state.

The idea of Wei is the same as that of Chu, that is, he doesn't want to fight for the time being, and he urgently needs to recuperate and recover, so as soon as Chu proposed an alliance of countries against Qin, Wei agreed, this kind of thing is what King Wei Hui was doing during his reign, but it was difficult for Chu to win over before.

This time, the state of Chu took the initiative to ask for an alliance, and the state of Wei agreed quickly, although the state of Chu was also not a good bird, but the threat of the state of Qin to the state of Wei was still greater than that of the state of Chu.

King Wei said that as long as Wei trained 50,000 Wei warriors again, then no matter what country Qin Qi and Chu came to, he would not be afraid.

As for Zhao Guo, the main reason is to avoid worries.

Zhao has rarely expanded outward over the years, before King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao had aimed the main direction of expansion at Wei's younger brother Weiguo, because every time he attacked Weiguo, he would be interfered by Wei, so all the expansions ended in failure.

To tell the truth, this time King Zhao Wuling set his sights on Zhongshan State, and the two countries he was most worried about were Wei State except for Qi State, and the rest was Wei State, not only because Wei State and Zhao State were connected, but more importantly, Zhongshan State was once destroyed by Wei State and was the territory of Wei State, but later when the Three Jin Dynasty fought Qi State, Zhongshan State was restored.

As for the Qin State, the Zhao State, which had regained the Lin land, said that there was no pressure on it, and it was obviously easier for the Qin State to attack Wei and Han than to attack the Zhao State, not to mention that he and the Qin State had already made friends.

Therefore, for the alliance proposed by the king of Chu, King Wuling of Zhao agreed after thinking about it, one is to be friendly with Wei, and the other can also be used to deter Qi.

Therefore, this alliance was very smooth, although each had a ghost, but the purpose was to really form an alliance, so after Xiong Huai and King Wei Xiang and others held a three-day singing and dancing banquet, the ministers under them had already finalized the details.

This alliance was mainly aimed at the Qin State, and then, at the request of the Zhao State, the Qi State was also included in the defense.

On the night of the fourth day when they came to Hangu Pass, after the song and dance stopped, Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen walked to the Xionghuai camp with a silk book and said, "King, fortunately, the covenant has been fulfilled. ”

Xiong Huai took the silk book and looked at it, it was very much to his liking, all of them were defensive treaties.

There are three points in the direction of Qin's troops, if the troops are sent out of the military pass, then the Chu State will be the main defense, and the Wei and Han countries will assist in the defense, if the troops are sent to the Hangu Pass, the four countries will defend together, if the troops are sent to the river, the three Jin will be defended.

Xiong Huai put down the covenant and sighed: "The alliance of the four kingdoms, the result is to sign such a contract, I don't know how other countries will laugh at us, I will definitely think that the Qin State is extremely powerful, and it is so scared that my Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty need to jointly protect themselves." ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, showing that he was dissatisfied with the signing of such an alliance by the four countries, but no one from any country at the meeting proposed to take the initiative to attack Qin, so he had to put the matter of attacking Qin in his stomach and did not bring it up.

Chen Zhen said embarrassedly: "The king, this is the meeting of the soldiers convened by the king of compassion, not the war mobilization meeting held for the purpose of attacking that country. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "That's it, since the covenant has been drawn up, then so be it." Next, I have to bother the two virtuous people to go and ask Sanjin to sell Maimi to us. ”

"The minister commands."

Hanying.

Because Gongsun Yan and the Korean minister Uncle once went to the battlefield together, flaunted their might together, defeated together, were demoted together, and were hostile to the Qin State together, the relationship between the two was very good, so Gongsun Yan first found Uncle Gong.

"Uncle, Yan took the liberty to visit, and I hope don't blame it."

"Where, where, the rhino head is coming, and the old man is happy."

The uncle welcomed Gongsun Yan into the big tent, and after the two sat down, the uncle asked, "Why did the rhino head come here?" ”

"Ugh." Gongsun Yan sighed and said, "Coming for today's covenant, as soon as I see today's covenant, I think of the matter of the alliance of the countries five years ago. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Gong also sighed.

In that year, the countries would attack Qin, but the result was a complete defeat, and afterwards all countries also planned to guard against Qin's arrival, but Qin attacked Korea, and none of the reinforcements from other countries came.

Gongsun Yan's words obviously hit the pain point of his uncle.

South Korea's biggest fear now is that Qin sent troops to Hanguguan, and then reinforcements from other countries disappeared again, and then South Korea continued to repeat the tragedy.

Falling is not terrible, it is always inevitable to fall on the same stone, which is tragedy.

"I don't know how the rhinoceros taught me." Uncle asked.

Gongsun Yan smiled: "What does Uncle think of flour?" ”

Most of the food for the banquet in the past few days is flour provided by the Chu State, and the people of the Huimeng have not heard of flour.

"Flour?" Uncle nodded and said, "It tastes very good, it's much more delicious than corn." ”

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "Because there is no shortage of grain in my Chu country, the people plant very little wheat and rice, and now the king of Chu has purchased all the wheat and rice in Yingdu, and it can only maintain the needs of the Chu palace for three months, and the king of Chu is now short of wheat and rice!" ”

Uncle looked at Gongsun Yan, his face suddenly realized, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart.

The need to maintain the Chu Palace, I'm afraid that the King of Chu has no materials for the steamed bun business!

After the marriage of the prince of Chu, the nobles of Chu and spies from various countries left Yingdu, which quickly spread all over the world, and at the same time, the name of flour began to spread quietly in various countries.

However, because many people do not make it illegally, the promotion of flour is slow.

Uncle Gong looked at Gongsun Yan and asked, "What does the rhino head mean..."

Gongsun Yan nodded: "What I mean is that why not tie Korea and Chu firmly together, so that Chu and Han are close and advance and retreat together, so that once Qin attacks Korea, Chu will inevitably send troops to rescue, and Korea can be worry-free." ”

Uncle Gong asked, "How to make Chu and Han one?" ”

Gongsun Yan said: "As we all know, the people of Chu do not have the habit of planting wheat, and in the next two years, the widow exempted the people of Chu from taxes for two years, and they can only buy wheat." However, wheat is cultivated in South Korea in small quantities, and if Korea can make an alliance with the state of Chu and sell 500,000 stone wheat to the king of Chu every year, the king of Chu must be very happy. ”
