Chapter 254: The Arrival of the Secret Envoy of the State of Chu (Third Update)
Above the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the quiet fallen leaves can be heard. The monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin Empire all had some understanding of the current situation, but at the same time they were a little confused.
Because in recent times, on the land of the Central Plains, there have been swords and soldiers, and the killing has continued. Between countries, contradictions have erupted, and a huge purge is brewing.
In this purge, no country on the land of the Central Plains can be exempted.
β¦β¦
Although the three counties of Liaodong were far away from the Great Qin Empire, Hu Hai never relaxed his surveillance of the three counties of Liaodong. Among the merchants in the three counties of Liaodong, there were the most Qin people, and among the employees of each Qin merchant, there were secret scouts sent by Hu Hai.
In addition to dispatching merchants, eyeliner, scouts, and secret agents, as long as they can be dispatched, Qin II has not missed any of them.
The news they sent back from various channels was very timely, and the changes in the three counties of Liaodong were naturally very clear to the imperial court of the Great Qin Empire.
In particular, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin knew that Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, was once the final victor. Now Xiao He, Han Xin and others have gathered.
His jealousy of Liu Ji has never been inferior to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
Hu Hai has a good account of the threat to the three counties of Liaodong: first, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, is a hero, although he is still far away from threatening the Great Qin Empire, but there is only one land in the Central Plains, and Qin and Liaodong will meet sooner or later.
Second, Xiao He has a great talent as a prime minister, and Han Signal is called a soldier immortal, invincible and invincible. In addition to Zhang Liang, who has not yet appeared, he is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
Coupled with Liu Ji's kingly talent, a strong cohesion will be formed, so that the three counties of Liaodong will rise above the Central Plains.
Hu Hai knew that everything actually had pros and cons, and the strength of the three counties in Liaodong was first of all unfavorable to the four kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Chu, and Qi. If the four countries want to contain the Liaodong Kingdom, they will inevitably ease the pressure on the Great Qin Empire, which will greatly benefit the recasting of the Great Qin Empire.
Third, the strength of the three counties in eastern Liaodong will become the main force competing for the world. In this way, the three counties of Liaodong and Western Chu will inevitably be on the same footing.
The Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu kingdoms were enemies of the three counties of Liaodong, which would definitely make the situation of the Great Qin Empire a little better. In this pattern, the Great Qin Empire can be left and right.
Therefore, Hu Hai was jealous of Liu Ji, but he naturally did not interfere. Because Emperor Hu Hai of Qin knew that the three counties of Liaodong were strong, the Great Qin Empire would only benefit from them.
At present, with Han Xin joining the three counties of Liaodong, earth-shaking changes will take place. The Liaodong army, because of Han Xin's existence, will completely embark on a road of regularization.
The three counties of Liaodong are strong, and the ones who feel the greatest threat are Yan and Zhao.
The Great Qin Empire is the enemy of the whole world, and the three counties of Liaodong have made the first bird to attract the attention of people all over the world. Only then can Great Qin fight his way out of the layers of blockade.
β¦β¦
Wei Yu and the others all knew that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, made a move against Wang Tianrong, which was undoubtedly the most powerful Chu State to declare war on all the countries under heaven.
For a while, the quiet fallen leaves on the entire Xianyang Palace hall could be heard, and the ministers were speechless for a long time.
β¦β¦
After being silent for a long time, Hu Hai's fingers gently knocked on the emperor's case: "The chaos in the world has started since then." The Great Qin Empire, as the protagonist, cannot be avoided. β
"Prime Minister, you and Zhili Neishi are responsible for the collection of grain and grass in various places. We must ensure that the people do not starve to death, and the army has surplus food! β
"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, Ziying and Yingling's expressions changed.
They are father and son, and they are both the three princes and nine ministers of the Great Qin Empire. This is not only because there is no one available in the Great Qin Empire at the moment, but also because of Hu Hai's kindness.
It's just that this favor is too great for them to repay at all.
β¦β¦
The courtiers of the Great Qin Empire all left, and they all had busy things, and in the huge Xianyang Palace, only Hu Hai and Han Tan were left.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze. Just as Hu Hai was about to speak, the horse's hooves outside the palace sounded, and the secret envoy in Chu returned to China at night and urgently entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, the secret envoy of the State of Chu asks to seeβ" The old chamberlain Han Tan looked respectful.
Glancing at Han Tan, Hu Hai waved his hand and said, "Biography-"
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty has an order: pass onβ" Han Tan stood under the corridor and shouted loudly.
"Minister Lu Wen to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years-" Lu Wen hurriedly entered the palace and bowed deeply to Hu Hai.
Hu Hai glanced at Lu Wen and waved his hand casually: "Aiqing is seated, Han Tan is going to eat rice wine-"
"Yesβ"
β¦β¦
The secret envoy came all the way to the west, trekked through mountains and rivers, and crossed mountains and mountains. Hu Hai knew that these people were the hardest, and the Great Qin Empire ate the same amount of food, and there was no shortage of a meal.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
After drinking the rice wine in the big bowl in three sips in a row, Lu Wen took a big bite of soup cakes. Fang Cai bowed deeply to Hu Hai and said, "Peng Yue, the general of the Qi State, broke through Jiyin and defeated Xiao Gongjiao......"
This news made Hu Hai's heart, because the excitement generated by the discussion disappeared cleanly, and suddenly there was a trace of surprise.
Qi Guo's move was unbelievable, and suddenly, Hu Hai couldn't think of what Qi Wang Tianrong had planned?
Now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is leading his army north, and it is the time of life and death for the Qi State. At this time, Qi Wang Tian Rong did not gather all his forces to fight against Xiang Yu.
But at this time, let Peng Yue attack Jiyin.
This made Hu Hai unable to figure it out, because the national strength of the Qi State could not destroy Western Chu in a war.
After a pause, Hu Hai: "Qi and Chu, how do you react to this matter?" β
Hearing this, Mi used the hem of his sleeve to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "There is no reaction, from the beginning of the war to the end." Neither Western Chu nor Qi made a sound, nor did they send reinforcements! β
Hu Hai and Han Tan looked at each other, and both showed confused eyes. Even if he is familiar with most things, he can't do everything.
In Hu Hai's memory, he didn't have much impression of Peng Yue, and most of them were tied to Liu Jikong. He only remembered that Peng Yue was the first to invent guerrilla warfare, and he was a person who could still become a prince and king in the end.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Hai resolutely ordered: "Tell Hangu Pass, guard the military pass, defend strictly, look as usual, and report the military situation at any time!" β
"Yesβ" The old chamberlain Han Tan strode away.
Hu Hai stared at Lu Wen and said, "Immediately return to Pengcheng from the trail and report back to the Chu State for this battle in time!" β
"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, Lu Wen strode away.
β¦β¦
At this moment, Hu Hai suddenly felt heavy pressure. He knew in his heart that the Great Qin Empire was rapidly recovering, and as long as the Great Qin Empire did not give up the Central Plains for a day, the decisive battle between the Great Qin Empire and the Central Plains countries would happen sooner or later.
At this moment, Hu Hai hopes that this decisive battle will happen as late as possible. In this way, the Great Qin Empire was able to recover more.
When the Qin army sent a letter to Guguan, the chances of winning were also a little greater.
