Zhong Wuyan successfully sat on the queen of Qi State, and in order to repay the kindness of his benefactor Chen Zhen, he persuaded King Qi to release Zilian.

Zi Lian didn't see her cousin Tong'er who wanted to find her in the Qi Palace, but she didn't leave for a while.

On this day, in the harem of Qi State.

Zhong Wuyan came to Zi Lian's residence, and saw that Zi Lian was washing clothes wholeheartedly, so he quietly walked over and patted Zi Lian's back, and suddenly Zi Lian jumped up after dropping the clothes in his hand.

After relieving himself and seeing that it was Queen Zhong Wuyan, Zi Lian patted her and said to her with a smile:

"Queen, why are you so frightened by Zilian?"

Zhong Wuyan was also smiling:

"Miss Zilian, although I became the queen in this palace, it was very boring to stay, I didn't know who to talk to when I thought about it, I thought about it, so I still wanted to come to you!"

Zi Lian asked puzzledly:

"Didn't King Qi accompany Sister Wuyan?"

Zhong Wuyan sighed and said:

"After all, it is the lord of the Qi country, of course it has to be busy with state affairs, how can it accompany me every day? Sister, I have something I don't understand! ”

Zi Lian asked:

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Zhong Wuyan replied:

"I have already asked the king to let you out of the palace, but you are reluctant to leave, why is this? Isn't this a waste of Mr. Chen's thoughts? ”

Zilian didn't want to trouble Queen Zhong Wuyan, but seeing that the queen asked like this, she also truthfully told the queen about her cousin Tong'er.

Zhong Wuyan knew that Zi Lian was unwilling to leave the Qi Palace for the sake of his cousin, so he said:

"Miss Zilian, it turns out that for such a trivial matter, can't I send someone to help you inquire?"

So Zhong Wuyan called the palace people in charge of the harem to inquire about Tong'er's news, only to know that Tong'er was pregnant because she was fortunate to be the king of Qi, but she was dissatisfied with the previous queen of Qi, and sent someone to quietly kill her, and she didn't even know where the bones were.

As soon as Zilian heard the news, she was directly grief-stricken, after all, she and Tong'er grew up together, and their relationship was like a biological sister.

Because the queen of Qi found out that he had abused a beautiful concubine before the king of Qi went to Quwo to participate in the alliance, the king of Qi ended the life of the queen of Qi with a knife in anger, so Zi Lian could not take revenge for a while, so he could only leave the palace and return to Daliang with Le Yi and Nie Xian.

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

On this day, the king of Chu was losing his temper with a Qin envoy in the main hall:

"Your Qin State stole our Chu State's heavy treasures and clans, and invaded the two countries of Bashu, and now you still want to come to make peace with our Chu State, and go back to tell you the King of Qin, the widowed Chu State and your Qin State are incompatible!"

This Qin envoy hurriedly explained:

"We, the King of Qin, already know that the King of Chu is very resentful of our Qin State, but the King of Chu has occupied the Shang Yu land of our Qin State, so our King Qin wants to exchange the Heshi Bi for the Shang Yu land occupied by your Chu State!"

The king of Chu was even angrier:

"What? Your Qin State stole the widow's He's bi, but now you want to exchange it for the land where the widow is merged, are you King Qin dreaming? ”

Qin Envoy did not panic:

"King Chu, think about it, this place of Shang Yu was originally our Qin State, and the people of Shang Yu are also Qin people, although the King of Chu, you occupied the land of Shang Yu for a while, but I heard that the people of Shang Yu do not seem to agree with your Chu State, and they have repeatedly resisted the Chu army, dragging the King of Chu You want to attack our Qin State army, King of Chu, instead of wasting troops in Shang like this, it is better to return it to our Qin State, King of Chu, you can still return to Chu, why not?"

Zhao Yang smiled lightly on the side:

"Qin envoy, are you deceiving us as the king of Chu? Even if most of the people are from your Qin, sooner or later, the people will definitely surrender to our Chu State, so don't bother you King Qin to worry about this matter, you Qin State is also too high-sounding to be a thief, right? ”

Qin Envoy said:

"Zhaoxiang, you and the king of Chu both said that our Qin country is a thief, no wonder because of that piece of He's bi, and that piece of He's bi was not stolen from Chu by our prince, but our prince picked it up on the side of the road, and although our prince of Qin loves to have fun, he is definitely not the kind of thief that the king of Chu and Chu Xiang think."

The king of Chu was even more angry:

"Come on, drag this Qin envoy out for the widow, and the car is cracked!"

Zhaoyang hurriedly dissuaded the king of Chu:

"King, this can't be done, as the saying goes, two armies are at war, don't kill the envoy, although this Qin envoy's words are not inferior to the king, but it will not be to break it!"

The King of Chu hesitated at this time:

"Zhaoxiang, then do you think the widow should deal with this Qin guy like this?"

Zhaoyang replied:

"Great King, do you still remember how Wei Ying treated the prince of Qin in the Qin State back then?"

The King of Chu laughed:

"Haha, Zhaoxiang, you originally wanted the widow to follow Wei Ying's treatment of Gongzi Qian and warn King Qin?"

Zhaoyang replied:

"Yes, it is tolerable for the Qin State to steal my Chu Zhizhi treasure and the clan's bi, so the king must use this to warn the Qin state and let it return the He's bibi as soon as possible!"

The king of Chu was very satisfied with the second law, so he ordered someone to gouge off the nose of the Qin envoy and send him back to Qin.

Xianyang, Qin State.

At this time, the king of Qin was in the main hall to discuss the matter of Bashu with Zhang Yi, Zhu Liji, and Sima Cuo.

I only heard Zhang Yi say:

"This time, so much grain from Bashu has been transported to our Xianyang, at least it can ensure that our Qin State will no longer have no worries about food within two years, and then you will no longer be afraid of Chu and Wei!"

King Qin's expression was very joyful:

"Yes, when the time comes, the widows can win over Korea and Wei, defeat Chu first, and then attack Wei to recapture the land west of Hexi, and then our Qin State will dominate the princes!"

Sima Cuo said to Zhang Yi on the side:

"Zhang Xiang should understand by now that my Sima Cuo's decision to abandon Han and attack Bashu was right, right?"

Zhu Liji's face was still a little unhappy:

"Although our Qin State has conquered Bashu in the past two years and resisted the army of Chu, it has made Wei State strong again, which is really unfavorable for our Qin State!"

Zhang Yi said:

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, when the battle of Hexi was lost, although we lost the entire land of Hexi, in fact, our Qin State was also helpless at that time, but now our Qin State has survived this most difficult time, and we have also got the grain and grass of Bashu, isn't this a good thing?"

King Qin's expression was also very happy:

"Zhuqing, don't worry about these old things anymore, plan well for the widow, how should our Qin State recapture Hexi in the next step, discuss the two places, and repay such a great shame!"

Zhang Yi first said:

"Great King, since our Qin State wants to attack Chu now, we must not only win over Han Wei, but also befriend the Yue State in the east of Chu State!"

King Qin couldn't help but ask:

"Yue Guo? You said that when he was in Quwo Huimeng, he always believed that he was smart King Yue Wujiang? ”

Zhang Yi nodded:

"Yes, it is because this King of Yue Wujiang is smart that he can be used by our Qin State, and over the years, Yue State has been bullied by the Chu State, and Wujiang has wanted to unite Han and Wei to attack Chu several times but to no avail, so as long as our Qin State is willing to help him cut down Chu and support some of its weapons, I believe that King Yue Wujiang will definitely use his troops to take the lead for our Qin State to attack Chu!"

King Qin Daxi:

"Okay, then the matter of the joint Vietnamese communist war against Chu will be handled by Zhang Xiang, you have full authority."

Zhu Lijian couldn't help but ask:

"Zhang Xiang, your strategy of uniting Yue and attacking Chu is really good, but Yue is so far away from our Qin State, even if you notify that Wujiang, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, so when you unite with Yue Guo, I'm afraid it will be a few years later, will our Qin State wait?"

Zhang Yi smiled lightly:

"General Yingji, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, as long as I, Zhang Yi, make a move, I will definitely let that Wujiang first send troops to invade the eastern part of Chu within half a year."

Sima Cuo suddenly said:

"You are all discussing the matter of attacking Chu, but the minister thinks that he should be able to give South Korea some color now, otherwise this King of Han is always swaying between our Qin and Chu, too much of a bastard, and now Zhao and Wei have heard that they are planning to attack Qi, and the Zhao army has all been deployed to the border area with Qi, and the Wei army seems to be suspicious of moving eastward, this is the best time for us to coerce this bastard Han King!"

Zhu Lijian also agreed with Sima Cuo's proposal:

"Yes, General Sima is right, at this time, we should first give Korea some color, and finally occupy all the land of its three rivers first, and then return it to Korea, so that King Han will not be so inconsistent with our Qin State in the future."

King Qin nodded:

"The strategy of the two ministers to defeat Han is also very good, but what if the Chu State takes the opportunity to attack our Qin State again?"

Zhang Yi replied:

"The minister can go to Chu again for the king!"

King Qin was shocked:

"What? Zhang Xiang, do you still want to go to Chu State? Aren't you afraid that the King of Chu will skin you alive? ”

Zhang Yi replied:

"As long as the king removes the minister from the position of prime minister of Qin first, and the minister goes to the state of Chu this time, he can ensure his own safety!"

King Qin looked at Zhang Yi with a puzzled expression:

"What's the point?"

Zhang Yi replied with a smile:

"King, when I, Zhang Yi, return to Qin from Chu State, I will definitely explain to you in person, so I can't reveal it to you for the time being!"

King Qin said:

"Alright then!"

Zhang Yi then said:

"If you want to attack Han without worry, then you can't despise the Wei State that is dependent on South Korea, so the minister suggests that the king send the prince to the Wei State as a hostage, so that not only can the Wei State not help South Korea this time, but also ensure that the Wei State can better unite with the Wei State to attack Chu in the future!"

King Qin suddenly showed a displeased expression on his face:

"Zhang Xiang, you let the widow's son go to Wei as a hostage, the widow may not be able to answer you, you should also understand that the widow is old, and now the widow can inherit the widow's position is also a widow, although he is so happy, but his mind is very clear, just like this time and the matter of the family, the widow is not stingy at all because of his good jade, and when he returns to Xianyang, he immediately handed over the widow to the widow, so that the widow can send an envoy to the Chu State to negotiate in such a timely manner......!"

When King Qin said this, suddenly a voice came from outside:

"Great King, the envoy to the State of Chu has returned!"
