After a while, Chen Zhen came to report again: "Great King, the envoy of Qin has been talking with the king of Qi for more than an hour, and he left the residence of the king of Qi not long ago and is rushing to us, it seems that the envoy of Qin has come to ask to see the king. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the king of Qi rejected the peace talks of the Qin State, otherwise why would the envoy of the Qin State rush to ask to see the widow." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said to Chen Zhen: "Xianqing continues to monitor the movements of the Qi State, as for the envoy of the Qin State, I will invite the Qin envoy to come in later, and the widow wants to see how the envoy of the Qin State intends to persuade me." ”

"No."

Soon, the Qin envoy really arrived.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at Feng Zhang and asked, "Where did the messenger come from?" ”

Feng Zhang opened his mouth and replied: "Back to the king, the ministers are on the orders of the widow and have come to ask the king for peace, and the widow is willing to pay tribute to the king." It is hoped that Qin and Chu will use the military customs as the boundary, non-aggression against each other, and form a friendly state. ”

Xiong Huai looked at Feng Zhang and smiled without saying a word.

Feng Zhang was silent for a moment, naturally knowing that the Chu State would not agree so easily, but when the Qin State had lost Yuzhong, there was not much land to buy the Chu State, so he could only rely on lobbying to successfully persuade the King of Chu.

Fortunately, before coming, the Qin State had carefully studied the national conditions of the Chu State.

Thinking about it, he spoke: "King, now that the State of Chu has captured the land of Yuzhong and Shangyu, Qin and Chu each account for half, dare to ask the king, if he continues to fight, I don't know if the king thinks that with the power of the Chu-Han coalition army, he will be able to break through Hangu Pass and Wuguan." ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and replied very cheerfully: "I'm afraid not." ”

"Then if the war continues, will the Chu State still be able to gain benefits?"

"Still can't."

When Feng Zhang heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Great King, this is where the minister wants to explain to the Great King, Qin Chu continues to fight, but it is just to consume the strength of the two countries in vain, but it cannot be beneficial to his own country, this is really a good strategy." ”

After Feng Zhang finished speaking, seeing that the King of Chu did not respond, he continued: "Great King, if the two countries of Qin and Chu continue to fight, I am afraid that disaster will soon befall the head of the State of Chu. ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "Could it be that the Qin State can still defeat the Chu State now." ”

"I can't." Feng Zhang shook his head and said, "Although the Qin State cannot defeat your country, the minister is worried that the king will soon lose the two allies of Zhao and Wei. ”

"Huh?" Xiong Huai looked at Feng Zhang with a straight face when he heard this.

Feng Zhang saw that the King of Chu looked over, and made persistent efforts: "Not only that, but the Three Jin Dynasty will soon become the disaster of the Chu State." ”

Xiong Huai said expressionlessly: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Feng Zhang arched his hand and replied: "Great King, now that the Three Jin Dynasty is under the pressure of the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu, they have become one and advance and retreat together, and the kings of the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han are all commensurate with brothers. A close-knit Sanjin, compared to not needing to say much about the ministers, the king also knows that this is the worry of other countries. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, if the three Jin really synthesize into one country, then they will become the strongest country in the world. However, Sanjin is always three countries.

Feng Zhang saw the King of Chu nodding, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "The reason why the Three Jin Dynasty is now attached to the Chu State is only because the strength of the Three Jin Dynasty is still insufficient, and the strength of Zhao and Wei is still in a fragile balance, therefore, neither Zhao nor Wei is convinced of the other, and the Three Jin Dynasty has not decided to lead the way. ”

"Now it's different."

"Not long ago, Zhao State obtained ten cities from Qi State, and then three cities from Yan State, and Zhao State's strength was strengthened. But this is not the case with Wei, which first lost the land it acquired from Qi, then suffered setbacks and was hit hard by Qi, and now Wei is inferior in strength compared to Zhao. ”

"Now that Zhao has crossed the river, if Zhao is allowed to obtain the upper county of our country, then the strength of Zhao will far exceed that of Wei, and the queen of King Zhao is the sister of King Han, and the two countries are extremely close."

Saying that, Feng Zhang looked at the King of Chu and said: "King, the situation in Korea is known to the whole world, either following Wei or Zhao, if Zhao swallows Shangjun, then South Korea will definitely take refuge in Zhao." ”

In this way, in order not to be isolated, Wei can only take Zhao as the leader. In addition, King Yan has been in Korea for a long time, and it is still established by King Zhao, Yan Guo will definitely throw himself into Zhao State. ”

"The King." Feng Zhang paused and asked, "If this happens, will the king of the five kingdoms of the Hezong Alliance, the Three Jin and Chu Yan, continue to be the leader of the alliance and dominate the world?" ”

Saying that, Feng Zhang said worriedly: "At that time, the Chu State will definitely be isolated by the Zhao State, and the Three Jin Dynasty will form an alliance, then it will definitely plunder from the outside." ”

"Presumably, the king must still remember how Wei seized land from the world back then, and the girder of Chu is still in the hands of Wei!"

After speaking, Feng Zhangchang bowed and said: "Please be aware of the king, don't repeat the mistakes of a hundred years ago." Once the Three Jin Dynasty regained its glory, then the Zhao State was not the kind of unsafe situation that the Wei State could not defend, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu worked together to defeat the Wei State. However, the situation around Zhao was different, and now only two weakened Qin Qi remained, and there were still Wei and Han separated from Chu and Zhao. ”

"If Zhao dominates the world, dare to ask which country in the world can be controlled, the minister's words are all here, please think twice."

Xiong Huai's face did not change, but his heart was up and down.

The situation Feng Zhang said is not impossible.

After the three families were divided, the reason why Zhao State fell silent was not only because Wei Wenhou was too strong and suppressed Zhao State everywhere, but also because Zhao Xiangzi set up a wrong heir, and there were frequent civil strife in the country, resulting in the loss of the opportunity in the war.

Now it is not the case, after several generations of efforts, Zhao has regained its vitality, especially when Zhao Suhou, the father of King Zhao, was in power, attacking Qin and Wei to fight Qi, and the victory and defeat were half, so that Zhao Suhou died and there was a situation where the five kingdoms were plotting for Zhao, but even so, Zhao was not afraid of anyone.

After King Zhao ascended the throne, his strength increased, and the current King Zhao is also very popular.

If it is said that more than half of the great sages of the world's lower realms were scraped by the King of Qi, then the remaining half was divided between Qin and Zhao.

As for the other countries, they are all talent exporters, so don't mention it.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Zhao State is also a disaster, especially since Zhao State is still far away from Chu State, even if Chu State wants to weaken Zhao State, it will not be able to reach it.

Feng Zhang saw that the face of the King of Chu was cloudy and uncertain, constantly changing color, and after waiting for a while, he found that the King of Chu's complexion had returned to normal, and knew that the King of Chu had made a decision, so he asked again: "King, I don't know what to think about!" ”

Xiong Huai glanced at Feng Zhang, and said secretly: What does the strength of Zhao have to do with Chu State, Zhao State is far away and Qin State is close, and compared to Zhao State after several reforms, at the same time, the policy of valuing agriculture and business, the cultivation and warfare system established by Qin State, can exert war potential, far beyond Zhao State, the headache is still left to Qin and Qi!

Thinking about it, he said lightly: "The widow has already decided, as the so-called people can't stand without faith, and the country will decline if there is no trust, and the widow is the leader of the alliance, how can he leave the countries to make peace with the Qin State alone." ”

"Therefore, if the Qin State wants to let the widows withdraw their troops, unless they agree to the conditions proposed by the previous countries, that is, to hand over Zhang Yi..."
