The next day, Zhuang Ji's army was still preparing, and a group of envoys from Shu Houhui came to Yingdu from Chengdu.

"The envoy of Shu Houhui?"

Xiong Huai looked at Jing Cui, and was slightly shocked in his heart, he only received the news of the rebellion of the Marquis of Shu yesterday, and he didn't want to, the envoy of the Marquis of Shu arrived today.

The speed of the envoy group is definitely slower than the speed of the Chu State spies alone, and it is much slower.

But now, the spies actually rushed to Yingdu with the envoy group one after another, which only shows one problem, not that the envoy group is fast, but that the envoy group set off much earlier than the spies of Chu.

In other words, this rebellion of Shu Houhui was not hasty, but had been prepared for a long time and had been planned for a long time. Not only did it win over the nobles of Shu, but it was also ready to draw in various countries to exert pressure on Qin.

Confirming this, Xiong Huai has more confidence in Shu Houhui. As long as Shu Houhui can withstand the Qin State, then this is a great benefit to the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, please order Yin to pass on the edict of the widow, tomorrow the widow will officially receive the envoy of the Marquis of Shu in the main hall." ”

"Yui."

The next day, in the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai looked at Yang Kuo, the envoy of Shu Hou Hui, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Shu Hou Hui is here, what can he do?" ”

A look of anger immediately appeared on Yang Kuo's face, and he said indignantly: "Great King, the great god Nuwa is the ancient god, and the deeds of the Black Emperor have been spread since ancient times. ”

When Xiong Huai heard that Yang Kuo called Nuwa the Black Emperor, his heart was immediately overjoyed.

Each country has its own sacrificial deities, and it is common practice for each country to worship the river in the north and the river to worship in the south. Only heaven and earth and the four emperors, this is what all countries worship together.

Now the envoy of the Marquis of Shu respects Nuwa as the Black Emperor, whether it is true or false, as long as the Marquis of Shu recognizes the status of the Black Emperor of the Great God of Nuwa, it will be enough for the State of Chu.

No one can say anything about the gods, but there is no doubt that as long as there are more people who admit it, it is true.

For example, the current heaven, which used to be heaven, has now become Haotian God and Donghuang Taiyi, from the heaven without desire to the god full of humanity. This kind of transformation is obviously not that Tianhua has become Haotian or Taiyi, but that there are more people who believe in it, and God has become Haotian Yutaiyi.

As for the future, it will be forgotten that the Song Dynasty will honor Haotian God as the Jade Emperor, after all, it will be honored by the emperor and his fellow Taoists.

However, even the absurd thing that the bandit leader Zhang Bairen became the Jade Emperor is believed to be true.

This fully shows that the gods are such a thing, that is, if you believe in it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it.

When there are many people who believe, it becomes true.

Ordinary people, in particular, are full of awe of ghosts and gods. As long as someone says that there is such a god, it doesn't matter if you have heard of it before, but now that you have heard of it, then there is.

Now that the Marquis of Shu has recognized the name of the Black Emperor of Nuwa, as long as the Marquis of Shu officially worships the Black Emperor once, then even if the land of Shu is occupied by the Qin State again, it will be a great harvest for the Chu State.

If all the countries in the world believe in the words of the Black Emperor Nuwa, as long as the Chu State still has the unique secret recipe of the five-color stone, then the righteousness of the world is in the hands of the Chu State.

This position is much heavier than that of the overlord of the world.

At this time, after Yang Kuo saw that he had spoken, the King of Chu smiled, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said even more angrily: "The king was favored by the Black Emperor and gave the five-colored stone of Chu to the King of Qin, which was a good intention. As a result, King Qin not only did not appreciate it, but also did not recognize the respect of the Black Emperor, the great god of Nuwa. As a result, the Black Emperor was furious and warned the King of Qin with a guest star.

I don't want to, when the king of Qin got the warning, he still didn't realize himself, and instead of asking the black emperor for guilt, he was stubborn and reprimanded the king for offending the ghosts and gods. ”

Saying that, Yang Kuo took a breath, and then sighed: "Although the widow is the brother of King Qin, he is loyal to King Qin. But the king of Qin did not respect the black emperor and was guilty of the sky, and at this moment, the widow did not dare to follow the king of Qin and make mistakes again and again.

Therefore, the widow decided to part ways with the king of Qin and stand on his own in Shu, hoping to make the ancestors of Qin leave a trace of blood and food by sacrificing to the Black Emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Kuo immediately bowed and said: "The king, in order to sacrifice the Black Emperor, and at the same time to make the anger in the king's heart, the widow decided not only to establish himself as a king in Shu, but also to be willing to cut off the land and reconcile with the king."

In addition, the widow hoped that the king would give him a four-color stone and the widow, so that the widow could sacrifice to the Black Emperor in Shu. At the same time, the widow also hopes to make friends with the king.

For this reason, the widow is willing to offer a pair of white bi, three Shu ritual vessels, two thousand gold eridium, and is willing to be the king's longevity. ”

After speaking, Yang Kuo lay on the ground, not daring to take a breath, quietly waiting for King Chu's reply.

At this time, Xiong Huai suddenly gasped.

The handwriting of the king of Shu is not small, the ritual is the important weapon of the country, and the three ritual vessels are offered, and the meaning of surrender has overflowed into words. This is much more than the previous sacrifice to the Black Emperor.

Moreover, there are 2,000 taels of gold, and one eridium is 20 taels, which is 40,000 taels of gold, which is indeed a lot of money.

Cutting land, ritual weapons, heavy gold, and submission, although the Badi offered by the Marquis of Shu was not in the hands of the Marquis of Shu, it was hoped that the State of Chu would be used to contain the Qin army in Badi, so as not to be attacked by the Qin army on both sides.

However, the Marquis of Shu is full of sincerity, what else does Xiong Huai have to say.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Okay, well, since the Marquis of Shu is willing to sacrifice to the Black Emperor, the widow will naturally not refuse, so the widow will accept the gift of the Marquis of Shu." ”

Yang Kuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed again: "King Xie." ”

Xiong Huai smiled and nodded, waited for Yang Kuo to straighten up, and said with a smile: "Sir, the gift of the Marquis of Shu can be accepted, but Badi still counts." Although the widow was angry that the king of Qin did not respect the black emperor, the Badi widow would not want it, lest other countries say that the widow sacrificed to the black emperor to covet the land. ”

Yang Kuo was shocked when he heard this, could it be that the king of Chu only wanted the ceremonial gold of Shu, and did not want to help Shu fight against Qin?

Or is it that the king of Chu was afraid of being besieged and beaten by the world because of the annexation of Yue last time?

So don't dare to ask for land!

"King, this..."

Xiong Huai interrupted: "Although the widow will not ask for the land, the king of Qin refuses to sacrifice to the Black Emperor, and he still has to bear the anger of the widow. Therefore, the widow planned to send 50,000 troops to attack the Qin army in Badi, and then the homeland of Ba to rebuild Ba and Chong Guo. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Yang Kuo and said with a smile: "I wonder if the Marquis of Shu is willing to form an alliance with the widows, and the two countries will jointly besiege the Qin army in Badi?" At that time, all the Qin troops in the south of the river were handed over to the widows, and in the north of the river, the widows sent 10,000 people to build the two countries of Bachong with the Shu army. ”

“······”

Yang Kuo's face suddenly changed, revealing ecstasy.

Originally, he was still a little cautious about leading the Chu army into Shu, whether it would cause all the land of Bashu to fall into the hands of Chu like more than ten years ago.

For this reason, Shu also had to defend against the Chu army.

But now, the king of Chu promised to send only 10,000 people across the river, and there was no threat to Shu at all.

Thinking about it, Yang Kuo immediately bowed and said, "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai nodded, and then ordered in front of Yang Kuo: "Pass the edict, immediately send an envoy to the Qin State, and tell the King of Qin that the Marquis of Shu is willing to sacrifice the Black Emperor in Shu, so the widow is willing to form an alliance with the Marquis of Shu, and from then on, the two countries will become one and advance and retreat together." ”

When Yang Kuo heard this, the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

With the words of the King of Chu, it would be better if the King of Qin was intimidated by the King of Chu and did not attack Shu. If the king of Qin still sent troops to attack Shudi, it would be to sweep the face of the king of Chu, so how could the king of Chu stay out of the matter?

At this time, Xiong Huai finished his order, looked at Yang Kuo again and said: "Mr. came to Chu, the widow is very happy in his heart, therefore, the widow will hold a banquet in the palace tonight, let the ministers accompany him, and ask Mr. to be drunk tonight." ”

"King Xie!"
