The alliance is imminent, and Qin and Chu are running frantically, taking great pains for the safety and smoothness of the alliance in the future.

In the camp of Western Chu, King Xiang and his father Fan Zeng had their own hearts. Similarly, in the Qin camp, Qin Emperor Hu Hai and Kuai Che, Dun Weak, Wei Yi, Wang Ben and others were silent.

At this time, in the face of such a major event as the Qin Chu Alliance, for a while, they didn't know what to say.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister knows that you feel uncomfortable, and the same is true for the ministers. ”

"The city that was beaten down with the blood of my old Qin people was handed over to people in vain, as long as it was a hot-blooded man, he felt uncomfortable!"

"However, the Great Qin Empire must take this step, especially when Western Chu takes the initiative to show goodwill, and it cannot refuse; The fundamental reason is that Western Chu is so strong that launching a big war can make Great Qin in danger of overthrowing! ”

"The countries of the world are weak, as long as they form an alliance with Western Chu and rely on the natural dangers of Hangu Pass and Wuguan, even if they are in trouble for a while, my old Qin people can completely survive it."

Speaking of this, he sighed faintly and said: "This is diplomatic relations, only based on interests, the lesser of two evils." ”

"Hoo ......"

With a long breath of depression, Emperor Qin Hu Hai said, "What the pawn said is true, such an alliance, the form of the covenant is far more important than the content of the covenant!" ”

"As long as the edict is repaired and revealed to the world, the specific terms agreed upon in the covenant are actually insignificant, and there is no need for me and Xiang Yu to decide personally."

"However, this is diplomatic relations, although it is very false, but the joints that must be passed through are indispensable."

……

This is Hu Hai's perception, in his opinion, whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, almost all diplomatic relations are like this. The so-called diplomatic relations are based on the strength of the country and on the basis of mutual bargaining.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Emperor Qin Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a gleam, looked around, word by word, and said: "What the Great Qin Empire is paying attention to now is not the Qin-Chu alliance this time, but power. ”

"The old Qin people must gather their strength to wait for a favorable opportunity, and we have missed such an opportunity several times."

Speaking of this, Hu Hai changed his words and said loudly: "The major problems in the troubled times are not solved by alliances and concessions, but by iron and blood!" ”

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" For a time, the tent was raised and shouted. The voice of the old Qin going to the national disaster is endless.

This is the answer given to Hu Hai by the ministers of the Great Qin Empire, and it is also Hu Hai's confidence.

In the end, Hu Hai glanced at the ministers, waved his hand, and said: "Go down and rest, the day after tomorrow Qin and Chu will be in the alliance, Zhuqing, don't fall into the majesty of my Great Qin!" ”

"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, everyone walked out of the tent one after another.

……

"Toot ......"

……

In the early morning of the next day, the two camps in the north and south of the Lingnan Mountains sounded melodious horns.

"Departure ——!" Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, looked in the direction of the middle and waved his hand.

"No."

At the same time, Hu Hai in the south also boarded the cloud car and gave a categorical order, saying, "Order, go——! ”

"Yes——!"

For a while, the bells and drums rang out. Accompanied by a series of horns, the black honor guards in the south and the earthy yellow honor guards in the north set off at the same time, gathering towards the large camp in the central area without hurry.

At the same time, the bronze chariot of Kuaicher, who presided over the ceremony of the alliance, rumbled into the gate of the camp.

Entering the high platform in the center of the camp, Kuaiche boarded a cloud car on the east side of the high platform, and let out a long exhalation: "Daya is happy to rise-the Qin Emperor and the King of Chu of the Alliance enter the camp——"

“……”

Suddenly, the music is loud, the bells and drums are melodious, the pipes are clear, the jade chimes are peaceful, the singing is solemn, and there is a kind of grand atmosphere.

The Son of Heaven Yale sounded in the land of the Qin and Chu Alliance.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Da Shao", "Daya" and "Song" have been listed as the music and dance of the Son of Heaven. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, etiquette and music collapsed, and "Daya" flowed into the palace of princes.

Now that "Daya" sounded, the two armies of the Great Qin Empire and Western Chu, with the grand and peaceful music and dance, the black and yellow honor guards entered the camp from the two gates at the same time.

The careful arrangement of these two gates, if it is an ordinary alliance, one of the gates can be entered in order.

However, this is the first time that the two great powers have joined forces, and Qin Chu always wants to overwhelm each other in momentum.

At this time, in order to ensure that the alliance could continue, Kuicher had to do this. The establishment of two gates naturally solves the problem of Qin Chu being the first in the country.

Two gates, Qin Chu entered at the same time. Due to the deliberate restraint between Qin and Chu, even though the saber rattling was murderous, they were also safe.

Hu Hai and Xiang Yu's carriage entered the camp, and the two of them got off at the same time, and walked from the north and south roads to the bottom of the Huimeng platform.

Seeing the layout of the land of the alliance, Emperor Qin Hu Hai smiled slightly. These people were extremely thoughtful, not only taking into account the face between Qin and Chu, but also unwilling to fall behind by half a point.

Standing at the foot of the Huimeng platform, neither Hu Hai nor Xiang Yu took a step. Because at this time, the singing and dancing in the camp has not ended, and the music of the Son of Heaven is still continuing.

A quarter of an hour later, the music was finished, and as Daya finished dancing and withdrew, the central court suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Emperor Qin Hu Hai waved his hand slightly at Xiang Yu opposite: "King Xiang, please——! ”

"Emperor Qin, please ——!"

The gesture fell, and the two of them stepped forward, and after a moment they stood in front of the two long tables in the center. At the same time, Kuaiche, who was in the center of the venue, shouted, "In the middle of the mountain, the King of Qin Emperor Chu wrote to heaven and earth——"

This is the traditional etiquette of the princes' alliance. In the alliance, it is often the leader of the alliance who sues the sky, the second strongest country sues the land, and the rest of the alliance members stand under the stage to accompany the sacrifice.

But this time, there were only two countries in the alliance, Qin and Chu, and there was no way, so Kuaiche directly asked Hu Hai and Xiang Yu to write to heaven and earth at the same time.

Kui Che's voice fell, Xiang Yu and Hu Hai turned around to face the north together, and under the guidance of Dun Qiao and Heng Chu, they climbed two three-zhang and six-foot-high altars respectively.

At the same time, Xiang Yu and Hu Hai respectively unfolded a roll of bamboo slips, impassionedly, and said: "Hao Hao goes to the sky, the earth of the underworld: the world is falling apart, the people are displaced, and the war is on the land of the Central Plains!" ”

"Today, I Xiang Yu / Hu Hai, Shun Tian should be people, worship the heavenly alliance in the upper mountains, and be determined to be peaceful in the world, stop fighting and stop fighting. It is hereby announced that heaven, earth, man and god will learn from each other. ”

……

The recitation of the Confession to Heaven is full of neutrality for each other. At this time, Xiang Yu and Hu Hai were both young people, and it was also the time when they were in high spirits.

At the same time, he was the monarch of the two great powers of the Great Qin Empire and Western Chu, and became the lord of the Central Plains respectively and established the order of the world.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu were competing and competing.
