();

The purpose of Li Miaocai's coming to Chu was to keep Chu neutral and not to disturb the war situation.

Now that the expected effect has been achieved, he no longer said more, but bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness is wise, since this is the case, then I will retire first." ”

After he left, the king of Chu also said again: "Xuanqing envoy enter the palace." ”

Although he also wanted to be the emperor, Li Miaocai's previous words had to make him start to re-weigh it, if the matter of the Feng Kingdom attacking Qing, because of the participation of the Chu State, it would end without a problem, then the Wind King was furious and turned back to attack Chu, and the King of Chu did not dare to guarantee that the Qing Kingdom would really help him.

For this reason, after Shang Yu entered the palace, the king of Chu also began to perfunctory, prevaricating left and right, and said: "The matter of being called the emperor, this king has been thinking about it for a long time, thinking that Chu does not have that strength, but this king still thanks Qingguo for his kindness." ”

When Shang Yuan heard this, he was suddenly a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but that wind envoy said irresponsible remarks in front of His Royal Highness, Your Highness must not be gullible, this person is Li Miaocai, the Shangshu of the Wind Country, has always been clever and nonsense......"

"Huh?" The king of Chu waved his hand and interrupted him: "The envoy is too worried, not because of the wind envoy, but because this king is the emperor, and it is true that the country does not support it, and besides, the contradiction between the two countries, the Chu State does not want to participate too much." ”

"This ......" Shang Yu was a little stuttered, and after a pause, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you are called the emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, and our country will also reach an unbreakable alliance with the Chu State. ”

said so, but how can the state of Chu be burned by fire, it is best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, therefore, the king of Chu also waved his hand again and said: "The envoy does not need to say much, this king has made a decision, this time the wind and the green war, the Chu state will not help the wind, and dare not be the enemy of the green country, and I also hope that the two countries will not involve the Chu state." ”

"Your Highness!" Shang Yuan was even more anxious.

As a result, the king of Chu stood up directly, pretending to be tired and said: "Okay, this king is tired, today's court discussion, let's stop here, this king will not send the messenger." ”

As he spoke, he stepped down from the throne and began to walk out of the main hall.

"Hey!" Shang Yuan sighed, there was no choice but to return to the inn.

The other side.

Lu Chen's army has marched to Surabaya County, on this day, in the hall of the county government, Lu Chen is convening all the generals to discuss the troops, preparing to advance into Qingdi in accordance with the previous strategy of using troops in these days.

Zhao Chuan was the first to speak, and he said: "The king, in the opinion of the last general, don't sneak attack Dingyuan, my country will gather all the armies and directly storm Hanyu Pass!" The thieves of the green army must not be as brave as the soldiers of our army! ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, and then pointed to the sand table and said: "Now, Yue Heng has been in Xunyang and Hengzhou, respectively, under heavy troops, and the follow-up troops are in Hanyu Pass, three military fortresses, in a triangular situation, our army wants to defeat the Qing army in front of Hanyu Pass, it is unlikely, therefore, in the Surabaya battlefield, it is still necessary to arrange suspicious troops on the surface, contain the main force of Yueheng, and it is better to sneak attack Dingyuan......"

As he was talking, a guard came to report, "King Qiqi, the head of the county asks to see you." ”

"Didn't you see that the king was discussing the army!" Liang Xiao shouted coldly, even if he is the head of Surabaya County, but when he discusses the army, he can't come in if he wants to.

The guard was startled, and hurriedly said, "The subordinate is guilty!" ”

As he spoke, he was also ready to retreat, but after Lu Chen frowned, he said impatiently: "Let him come in." ”

"No!"

After a short time, the head of Surabaya walked in quickly, and after he came in, almost all the generals in the hall were a little displeased, and they were all impatient when they looked at him.

Seeing this, the latter first laughed dryly, then bowed down at Lu Chen, and said: "King, Weichen doesn't know that the king is discussing with the generals, and he takes the liberty of disturbing, and he really deserves death......

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen had already interrupted him impatiently: "Get down to business!" ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes. The head of Surabaya County hurriedly responded, and then said cautiously: "Qi, Qi Songpo wants to ask to see the king......"

"What did you say!?" When the generals heard this, their noses were almost crooked, and Su Muzhi said: "How can this be true, an old man is just an old man, the king is the king of a country, how can anyone want to see it, this kind of thing, you also come to report it!?" ”

"This ......," the head of Surabaya swallowed.

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Huh? This Qi Songpo should be a celebrity, right? The war between the two countries was imminent, and it was strange that he wanted to see the king at this time. ”

As he spoke, he also thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Please invite him in." ”

"No." The head of Surabaya County hurriedly responded, it was precisely because Qi Songpo was a famous man in the world and was quite prestigious among the scholars of the Central Plains that he came to tell Lu Chen.

This Qi Songpo is a bit like the leader of a certain school in the contention of a hundred schools of thought in China, and he is a figure with many classics of Chinese culture, and his reputation is far and wide.

He likes to travel and is knowledgeable, and Lu Chen studied for his eldest son and third son, and also visited him, but he was politely refused.

At this time, he came to ask to see him, Lu Chen was also quite surprised, after meeting, waiting for him to give a salute, Lu Chen also stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Old Qi doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what to do if you want to see this king today." ”

Qi Songpo's age, about sixty or seventy years old, in ancient times, is already considered an advanced age, he sighed slightly, said: "Your Royal Highness raised troops to cut down the Qing, waving the army to the south, don't you hear, after the army, there will be a fierce year, where the division is, thorns are everywhere, such a soldier, the suffering can only be the people of Li, at that time, it must be a mountain of bones and bones, a river of blood, Your Highness, you are the king of the Holy Ming, beware of the world, sympathetic to the people." ”

It turned out that he had come to persuade him that he should be benevolent and should not use military rebellion.

When Lu Chen heard this, he looked up and smiled, and said: "Old Qi's words are fallacious, King Qing usurped the throne, if this king does not raise an army to fight, and also follows him to claim the emperor, then in the world, wouldn't there be two emperors?" With two emperors, wouldn't the world be even more chaotic! Moreover, if this king stops this war and divides the river with Qingguo, it is tantamount to splitting the mountains and rivers and splitting the land of the Central Plains! ”

"This ......" Lu Chen's words made Qi Songpo a little speechless for a while.

Lu Chen continued: "Elder Qi persuaded this king to think about the common people in the world, and should not use this force, then Qi Lao told this king, is it to want the Central Plains Empire to be broken forever?" Moreover, even if this king is willing to fight with the Green King, what about the next generation of Wind King and Green King? Will they be okay too? The incompleteness of the land means that there is a war, and only when the world is unified and the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment! Qi Lao is a great sage in the world, and he should understand the meaning of this king.
