There are three seals in a country, namely the Jun Seal, the Xiang Seal and the Shuai Seal, and the role and significance of these three seals can be seen from the name.

The most important thing is naturally the Jun Yin, if the country wants to issue any laws and decrees, as long as it involves major events, it needs the Jun Seal and the Xiang Yin, of course, the Xiang Yin is in the hands of the Prime Minister of Chu State, Chu Yuan has served as the regent for many years, and the Prime Minister has long been tied to him.

Shuai Yin is more sensitive, when issuing military war orders, the big war between countries, it is necessary for the Jun Seal and Shuai Yin to come out at the same time, a bit of a tiger charm, but it is different from the tiger charm.

Because the army of this world is not only "recognizing the symbol but not the person", the control of the Shuai Yin can be in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, and the same as the Jun Yin is to issue a letter when declaring war, which is equivalent to showing determination, and it will only be used when the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Yan are at war.

Since the king of Chu ascended the throne, the state of Chu has never taken the initiative to start a war, and has been bullied, and of course the handsome seal is useless and has been shelved.

Chu Yuqing's purpose is to take charge of the handsome seal, once he gets the handsome seal, to a certain extent, he stands at the same height as Chu Yuan, the regent is not a real king after all, he is in charge of the king's seal and the government on behalf of the government, but he can't ask about the affairs of the army.

But after all, Chu Yuan has been operating in the position of regent for so many years, it can be said that except for the throne that is not his, basically he is no different from the king of Chu.

After getting the handsome seal, sometimes you can disobey orders, Chu Yuqing needs "name" very much now!

When he walked out of the palace, Chu Yuqing was already playing with a delicate and small seal in his hand, made of jade.

King Chu didn't think much about it, first of all, he didn't care very much, secondly, Chu Yuqing was his son, and finally, he never thought that Chu Yuqing would calculate him.

Therefore, the process of getting the handsome seal was very simple and easy, but it was precisely because of such simplicity and ease that Chu Yuqing was not happy.

If he didn't stand up, I'm afraid that this Chu State would really be finished, Shuai Yin is such an important thing, he just said a few words and fooled it, if the regent Chu Yuan was also interested in this, wouldn't the Chu State have already changed someone to be the king, how could this make him happy.

——

"Lord, did this trip go well?"

Back at the Yuguo Mansion, Bai Qi greeted him, and asked after bowing slightly.

Chu Yuqing nodded and asked him, "How is it, the guards in the mansion are useful?" ”

Bai Qi said: "They are all former good players in the army, although they have been a little negligent in training in recent years, they are still elite, and they can also play a good combat power after training." ”

"That'll be fine." Chu Yuqing said as he walked towards the mansion, "This time to Xizhou, these three hundred guards are our soldiers, I'm afraid we won't be able to give you more people in a short time." ”

Bai nodded: "For the time being, three hundred people are enough. ”

The deadline given by Chu Yuan was approaching, and Chu Yuqing found the steward of the mansion and asked him to arrange the operation of the mansion after he left.

Servants, maidservants, and the like naturally stayed, but the singer and the dancing girl were dismissed, and he would not come back in a short time.

In the past ten years, Chu Yuqing was still young and didn't spend much, so there was still a lot of those quotas left.

In terms of money, no one could coax him, and in the past ten years, although he has been cutting quotas in the following years, he still saved hundreds of thousands of silver.

After careful counting, a total of more than 500,000 yuan, plus some precious calligraphy and paintings, treasures or something, the money that the entire Jade Kingdom Mansion can take out is about 800,000 silver, Chu Yuqing took the handsome seal to the Ordnance Department and asked for three hundred sets of exquisite weapons, armor and war horses, and then without half a moment's hesitation, he left the royal capital of Jinxiu City with all his belongings and three hundred guards.

He learned to ride a horse very early, which can be regarded as entertainment, so Chu Yuqing's riding skills are quite good, a group of more than 300 horses, plus the convoy of peace talks, a total of more than 1,000 people, all the way to the west.

This is the bargaining chip for Chu Yuqing's negotiations, and his task is to use these things in exchange for Lan Yuguo to no longer harass the border of Chu State.

In recent years, as long as there is no money and no food, Lan Yuguo has done this, and the Chu country has a great cause, and in order to avoid trouble, it has also been given, anyway, compared to the land indemnity of the king of Chu plus the relatives, these losses are nothing.

Of course, since he promised Chu Yuan, he hadn't thought of giving these things away!

This time he went to Xizhou to negotiate with Lan Yuguo, he was not prepared to continue to swallow his anger, he was going to fight......

Different from ancient China on the earth, the state of Chu is located in the western part of the world, with a vast territory and relatively rich products, which is also the reason why the state of Chu once relied on as the head of the four kingdoms.

Jinzhou is rich in ores, Nanzhou has fertile land and is the granary of Chu, Beizhou bordering Wei in the north is full of war horses, and Zhongzhou, where Splendid City is located, is even richer.

It can be said that the state of Chu occupies a very good geographical condition, as long as the king is hard enough, even if he can't be dominant, at least he is enough to protect himself.

All kinds of materials are abundant, the population is also quite large, and the national strength is naturally strong, but since the king of Chu ascended the throne for ten years, it has declined year by year......

Splendid City is only more than 400 miles away from Xizhou in a straight line, but the road cannot go straight, the distance is winding and winding for nearly a thousand miles, and Chu Yuqing and his party walked for a full month to arrive.

The majority of the team is one reason, and Bai Qi has to train three hundred guards is also a reason, and Chu Yuqing also has to think about the next countermeasures.

Under the greeting of the Taishou of Xizhou, Chu Yuqing entered the city, and after a simple humiliation, he learned about the current situation, Lan Yuguo had been in Xizhou for nearly two months.

He did not directly lead his troops to attack, but only sent small groups of troops to attack the village from time to time, and the people near the direction of Lan Yuguo were tortured.

If you really want to go to war, the state of Chu is actually not afraid, but it is a pity that you have met such a faint king as the king of Chu.

Another point is that further west from Xizhou, after a distance of more than 100 miles, there is a vast desert, and Lanyu Country is a country in the desert.

Because of this natural geographical reason, Lan Yuguo has always been relatively poor, and the national strength is also very poor, and in the past, they had to rack their brains to pay tribute to the Chu State, until the current King of Chu ascended the throne, and their life was better.

Lan Yu sent a total of 30,000 troops this time, and the number of Lan Yu cavalry was 5,000, which were all heavy armored cavalry, and they were also the trump card division of Lan Yu Kingdom, and there were few opponents in the desert.

There are 8,000 soldiers in Yumen Pass on the border of Xizhou, and only one general is stationed, which is also the reason why Lan Yuguo is so bold, in the battle with Yan State a few years ago, the troops of Yumen Pass were transferred a lot, so the strength is a little weak at the moment, and these 8,000 defenders are also newly recruited soldiers.

The role of recruits on the battlefield is extremely limited, the psychological quality is not strong, the combat skills are not enough, the battle array drills are not good, and the orders are forbidden, not to mention the prohibitions, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to let the guards take these 8,000 recruits to block the 30,000 troops of Lan Yuguo.

"In a short period of time, the eight thousand defenders of Yumen Pass are embarrassed, but I am here, and I will never talk to Lan Yuguo with good words, do you have a countermeasure?"

After all, all that can be used in his hands are the three hundred guards of the Jade Kingdom Mansion, even if Bai Qi is the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States, Chu Yuqing also has a feeling that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

300 to 30,000, a hundred-fold difference in troops, as long as the generals of Lan Yuguo are not stupid, there is no good way for this special Chinese famous generals to gather, unless he is given ten or eight fierce generals such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, and Li Yuanba......

Bai Qi does not have arrogant ideas, and the gap between the two sides is in front of him, which is an indisputable fact.

"For now, it is definitely necessary to forbear for a while, and the lord may wish to pretend to negotiate with him, and try to delay as much time as possible in the process, so that the general can have more information. A head-to-head battle is certainly not advisable, and it needs to be carefully planned. ”
