Cease hostilities.

Ji Xuanling still has no idle endowment.

For several days in a row, deal with government affairs that have accumulated for months.

He ordered the spring tax and went to the counties near Xianyang to inspect the spring ploughing matters.

Qin Palace, inside the garden.

The place is full of birds and flowers, and the trees are shady.

When Ji Xuanling returned to the palace, when he went to the queen's bedroom, he met Princess Mengluo in the garden.

After several months of life, Princess Mengluo basically adapted to the atmosphere of the Qin Palace.

Still wearing a vermilion palace dress, with black hair fluttering, it seems to have painted light makeup, elegant and beautiful, and the demeanor is pleasant.

After bowing, Princess Menglu took out a letter in her arms and presented it to Ji Xuanling.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and at this time, Princess Mengluo was a little restrained, lonely and alone, still quite reserved.

They had not yet had sex together, and Princess Mengluo remembered the other party's warning that if she leaked the secrets of the Qin State to the King of Chu, she would bear the consequences.

For the state of Chu, she had to replace the messenger and send a letter to Ji Xuanling.

Ji Xuanling took the letter, the letter had already been opened, he sat on the stone bench in the garden, his face was like the water of a peaceful lake, without the slightest ripple, and he looked at Princess Mengluo with his eyes.

I don't know what Ji Xuanling means, in his gaze, Princess Mengluo is uncomfortable.

Rubbing the soft wattle, he lowered his head and whispered: "Half a month ago, my father sent a messenger to send a letter, and my husband was fighting outside, Ah Luo had the courage to read the letter in advance, and my father suggested in the letter that my husband should lead the army to destroy Wei and point at the Qi country. ”

Destroy Wei?

Sword pointing at Qi country?

Ji Xuanling snorted and guessed what the King of Chu meant.

Destroy Wei, point the sword at the Qi State, and help the Chu State contain the Qi army?

The king of Chu sent a letter, basically explaining that in the Song State and in the east of Chu, the situation of the Chu army was not good.

He understood the situation of the king of Chu, after all, the Qi army was secret, suddenly attacked the Song, adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the elite soldiers stationed in eastern Chu went north to relieve the siege of the Song State, and deployed the king of Qi properly, and captured many cities in eastern Chu in one fell swoop.

As far as he knew, the Song State had existed in name only, and the six or seven cities in eastern Chu had fallen, almost losing seventy or eighty thousand Chu troops.

So far, King Qi's plan has been very successful.

"Oh!"

Ji Xuanling responded, and said without being salty or indifferent: "The Qin army is triumphant, what the King of Chu wants, I am afraid that it will be in vain!" ”

Princess Mengluo nodded, took out another letter, and sent it to Ji Xuanling with a timid expression: "Yesterday, another messenger came, and my father sent him to deliver a letter. ”

"What does the King of Chu want?" Ji Xuanling sneered.

The king of Chu knew his whereabouts, but he knew that he had triumphed.

Princess Mengluo shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Ah Luo hasn't opened the letter yet, I don't know what my father means?" ”

Ji Xuanling took the letter, opened the envelope and read it through, looked at Princess Mengluo and asked, "What about the messenger?" ”

In the letter, the king of Chu sent a messenger to send the dowry of Princess Mengluo, ceding three cities in the west of Chu and offering millions of money and grain.

However, the king of Chu also demanded that when Qi and Chu were fighting, Qin would not attack Chu.

Ji Xuanling knew what King Chu was afraid of?

The Chu army successively sent Chu to the east, and the land bordering Qin and Chu was empty, and the Qin army marched south to seize several cities in the west of Chu.

If the Qin army had the idea of expanding eastward, the state of Chu had to mobilize heavy troops for defense.

At that time, the Chu army was attacked by the two great powers of Qin and Qi, and the situation became more and more worrying.

It's a pity that the king of Chu doesn't know that he has no idea of sending troops to fight for the time being.

Even if he leads the army to fight, he is deeply cultivating the fat of Dakang, rather than choosing the hard bone of Chu State, which does not have much fat.

Besides, the King of Qi openly sent people to raid his carriage frame and kill the merchants of the Qin State. Qin Qi is far away, and the Qin army can't reach it.

He was not satisfied with King Qi's approach for a long time, how could he send an army to attack Chu when the two armies of Qi and Chu were in full swing, and cheapen Qi State.

got up and took Princess Mengluo by the hand, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Physical contact with each other, Princess Mengluo shrank like a frightened deer. turned his head to look at Ji Xuanling, and finally did not shake off his broad palm.

Follow Ji Xuanling's side and take a walk on the bluestone paved path in the garden.

At this time, Princess Mengluo couldn't wait to know if Ji Xuanling would send troops to attack Chu and support the Qi State.

It's a pity that Ji Xuanling was silent.

Princess Mengluo was curious, she didn't know what was written in the letter, and she didn't know what Ji Xuanling's attitude was.

He raised his head and asked, "Husband, what did your father say in his letter?" ”

"Dowry!" Ji Xuanling said two words simply.

When Princess Mengluo heard this, her face turned red and she was a little surprised, and Ji Xuanling didn't explain and sent her the letter.

After reading the letters, Princess Mengluo asked, "Did my father send to assist the Qi Kingdom?" ”

Ji Xuanling didn't answer, and continued to walk, Princess Mengluo didn't know what she meant, and when she thought about it for a while, she still couldn't guess what Ji Xuanling was planning.

But she couldn't chase and fight hard, lest Ji Xuanling be disgusted with her.

Walking into the pavilion, Ji Xuanling sat on the bench, and Princess Mengluo stood beside him, a little hesitant.

Ji Xuanling took her into his arms and said, "In two days, this king is going to the south, is the princess willing to go along?" ”

"Did the husband personally conquer the Chu State?" Princess Mengluo asked in a panic.

Ji Xuanling grabbed her soft thorn and chuckled: "In your heart, is your husband a war maniac, just to end the war of Wei State, and to quickly cut down Chu?" ”

Hearing this, Princess Mengluo breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Qi State is attacking Chu, my father will mobilize all his troops on the eastern front, if the husband is defeating Chu, the timing is excellent!" However, if Fujun did not have a plan to attack Chu, Mengluo was naturally willing to go to the south with Fujun. ”

"The king of Chu gave three cities to the Qin State, sent millions of money and grain, and did not reciprocate rudely, this king will send General Di to send five thousand good horses to the Chu State to support the Chu State to resist the Qi State!" Ji Xuanling Road.

Chu State, Qi State, the two countries should fight to the death.

The weakening of each other's national strength will benefit the Qin State without harm.

Funding War Horses?

Princess Mengluo was taken aback when she heard this.

5,000 horses is a lot!

In the Chu army, the sailors are good at fighting and the infantry are brave, but it is a pity that they are in the south and lack war horses.

If the Qin State subsidizes the war horses, the cavalry will replace the war horses, and the combat power will surge, and it will be easier to fight against the Qi army.

However, she wondered why Ji Xuanling suddenly funded the war horses of the Chu State, was it just because his father ceded three cities as a dowry?

Busy said: "Mengluo has thanked my husband on behalf of my father!" ”

At this time, Zhang Lihua walked up, saw that the two were intimate, and bowed and said: "Husband, the prince of Qi has come to Xianyang, and Qingyue is looking for her husband everywhere?" ”

"Humph!"

"King Qi, you really have the idea of the Qin State!" Ji Xuanling chuckled.

Next to her, Princess Mengluo was taken aback, Qi sent her prince to Xianyang, her intention couldn't be more obvious, and she was obviously ready to lobby King Qin to attack Chu.

At this time, she suddenly realized why her father sent envoys to Xianyang one after another, and even did not hesitate to cede three cities to the Qin State, hoping to reach an agreement with the Qin State.

For a while, I couldn't help but look up at Ji Xuanling, for fear that he would temporarily change his mind and support Qi Guo's invasion of Chu!
