Seeing that Zilan opened his mouth to ask them, the feudal monarchs immediately looked at each other, and after a long time, the Marquis of Yi said: "The king, the lower fief is in Jiangbei, if the king can persuade the king to abdicate and become the king, the minister is willing to serve the king immediately!" ”

Then, the others followed: "The same is true for us, as soon as the king's army arrives, I will immediately lead the fief to surrender." ”

Zilan was overjoyed when she heard this: "Okay, your fiefdom is in Hannan, and the widows will not force you, lest you secretly scold the widows and strongmen." ”

Everyone: "···"

After Hannan Fengjun left, Zilan smiled and said to the people who had already served him: "Everyone, now the widow has Hanbei, in addition, the 350,000 Qin and Han coalition troops are besieging Xiangyang, as long as Xiangyang is broken, the army can drive straight into Yingdu, at that time, the widow is the real king of Chu." And you are the confidants of the widow.

In order to arrive in Yingdu as soon as possible, the widow decided to recruit a large army, hoping that you would help the widow. ”

"Yui!"

"In addition, please contact the other feudal county dukes immediately, so that they can serve the widow. When the widows arrive in Yingdu, let them immediately send troops to help! ”

"Yui!"

Yingdu.

"Great King, the news from the north that the rebellious Zilan has arrived in Dengdi, under the strong power of the Qin-Han coalition army, the northern Hanbei regions, except for Wancheng and Fangcheng defense lines, other counties have betrayed Zilan. Moreover, under Zilan's persuasion, in the land of northern Han, a total of eleven feudal monarchs turned against each other. In addition, Ye Gong and other seven feudal lords were unwilling to take refuge in Zilan, but after the fief was broken, they were beheaded by Zilan, and all the captured clansmen were slaughtered. ”

At this time, Doctor Zhaogai looked at the increasingly ugly face of the King of Chu, and his voice gradually lowered: "Moreover, Zilan appointed Sheng Jun as Ling Yin in Dengdi, with Yiyang Jun as Sima, recruited 50,000 troops, and is assisting the Qin army in besieging Xiangyang. Moreover, the pseudo-prince Lan also issued an edict, ordering all places south of Xiangyang to take refuge in him, threatening that if he did not obey, when he broke through Yingdu, Ye Gong, Yang Jun and others would be role models. ”

"This rebel!" Four words burst out of Xiong Huai's mouth.

At this time, Qu Shu saw that the King of Chu's face was extremely ugly, so he arched his hand and said: "The fiefs of the king, Zhan Yangjun and others are all in northern Han, and now they have been broken by the Qin and Han coalition forces. Therefore, the minister thought that they were just forced to be helpless, and temporarily took refuge in Zilan, as long as the rhino head could expel the Qin and Han coalition forces, they would inevitably ask the king for their guilt. ”

"Forced to be helpless? Couldn't it be that Yang Jun and the others were persecuted by the rebel? Why can Di Yangjun sacrifice his life for righteousness, but they can't? Xiong Huai said resentfully.

Saying that, Xiong Huai raised his hand to stop Zhao Gai, who also wanted to persuade him, and then ordered: "Qu Qing, pass on the edict of the widow, all those who take refuge in the rebel son will be deprived of their titles, dismissed from the office, reclaim their fiefs, and be demoted to concubines." ”

Fan Huan was shocked when he heard this, and persuaded: "King, this edict, those nobles who are temporarily committed to Zilan and plan to return south at any time may only have to completely take refuge in Zilan." Not only that, in order to keep their fiefdom, they will inevitably do their best to help Zilan attack Xiangyang, so that Zilan will officially become the king of Chu.

Therefore, the minister thought that this edict could not be issued. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "Otherwise, from the moment they formed a large army to besiege Xiangyang, they would not be able to turn back." Now the Qin and Han armies in northern Han have more than 300,000 people, and their strength is strong, and the places south of Xiangyang have fallen into wait-and-see. If you don't crack down on those who take refuge in the rebels at this time, the widows are worried that Xiangyang has not been broken, and the Qin-Han coalition has not yet been killed, and the feudal lords from all over Hannan will take the initiative to take refuge in Zilan.

At that time, the general trend is really gone! ”

"This..." Fan Huan sighed when he heard this, then shook his head and stopped talking.

Then, Xiong Huai asked again: "Xianyin, I wonder if the four kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Song have ever responded?" ”

Fan Huan responded: "Back to the king, Zuo Yin Zhao often reported, on the Wei side, the king of Wei rejected our request, and said that if you want Wei to withdraw its troops, it is not enough to just Chen Di, but also to add 48 cities of all sizes such as Pingyu Shangcai." ”

"Huh!" Xiong Huai sneered: "King Wei has such a big appetite! ”

Fan Huan continued: "However, when the news came that Zhao Guo had sent troops to attack Zhongshan Kingdom, the tone of the King of Wei had loosened somewhat, and Zuo Yin was still negotiating with Wei in Daliang. ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a moment and said: "Pass the order to Zuo Yin, give him another half a month, if Wei Guo is unwilling to accept the widow's conditions, then let Wei Guo take it himself." ”

"Yes, King!" Fan Huan responded, paused, and continued: "In addition, after Doctor Shangguan arrived in Zhao State, Zhao Xiang, Zhao Wen, the general Zhao Cheng, and other ministers such as Fei Yi, who had been bribed with a lot of money, all agreed to our request. It was only because the king of Zhao had personally led the army to the expedition, so the minister of Zhao had summoned the king of Zhao and asked the king of Zhao to issue an edict to let Zhao Jun of Chen Di lead the army back to Zhao. ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this: "This is the good news that came again after Zhao sent troops. ”

"And that's not all!" Fan Huan continued: "Great King, although the King of Song has not yet agreed to formally make peace with my Chu State, it has already loosened somewhat, and the Song army in Huaibei has retreated for dozens of miles.

On the Qi side, the Qi army in Huaibei has stopped attacking Huaiyin. In addition, the assassin made Chen Zhen report that the king of Qi seemed to be dissatisfied with the conditions we proposed, and the king of Qi said that he did not want the prince to be a hostage, nor did he want the state of Chu to withdraw from Jiangdong, let alone the king to be a vassal. As long as we cede the Huainan land of the Yue Kingdom that we have captured not long ago, we can make peace between Qi and Chu again, and if the king wants to, the two countries can also form an alliance. ”

"Huainan, alliance?" Xiong Huai was stunned at first, and silently pondered the situation in Huainan and Huaibei for a moment, and then reacted and sneered: "When will the King of Qi cherish his fame." As long as the two cities of Huaiyin and Guangling are in the hands of widows, the Yue country, which has lost its Jiangdong territory, can it hold Huainan? ”

Fan Huanying said: "The king is wise, and the minister also thinks that this must be the king of Qi who is greedy for the land of Huaibei of the Yue country, and does not want to bear the notoriety of destroying the subject country, so he plans to rebuild the Yue country in Huainan, and then the Qi country will swallow the Huaibei country, and let the Chu country kill the Yue Wangjiu, and then the two countries will look at each other across the water and do not interfere with each other." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, what Fan Huan said coincided with him.

Now the power of the Yue State is basically controlled by the Qi State, the newly formed Yue Army is controlled by Kuang Zhang, and the grain in Huaibei is borne by the Qi State.

At this time, the army led by Kuang Zhang, to the west is the territory of the Wei, Song and Zhao Kingdoms, and to the south is the Chu State on the south bank of Huaishui.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "Tell Chen Zhen that the widow in the land of Huainan will definitely not give up, and the widow is still the original condition, let the king of Qi think about it himself." If the King of Qi really intends to make the two countries of Qi and Chu form an alliance again to resist the pressure of the Three Jin Dynasty of the Qin State, then don't just stare at the already destroyed Yue Kingdom, and the widows are not interested in destroying the Yue Kingdom a second time. But, beyond that, we have other places where we have common interests! ”

Fan Huan responded thoughtfully: "Yes, king." ”
