Like other countries, the transfer of the county soldiers of Chu State depends on the runes of the king of Chu, although the flying news made by Xiong Jing can reach the border pass in an instant, the runes of Yingdu still have to be transmitted to various counties in the country by light vehicles and fast horses. At dusk, when these chariots and horses were leaving, Xiong Jing heard about the banquet father Wang gave Qin envoys a huge sword and armor.

"It's ...... Whose idea was it? Looking at the personal guard Yu, Xiong Jing wanted to ask which bastard did it, but fortunately he endured it in the end.

"It's Zimo." Yu is not a gossipy person, warriors love swords, he is naturally not Ti Zimo's strategy to retreat from the enemy, but to tell Xiong Jing how Chu Jian cut off Qin Jian. "Your Highness, why is Zi Mo's sword so beneficial?"

Yu and Jing these guards still use bronze swords, before quenching, the hardness of low-carbon steel is actually not much different from that of high-tin bronze swords, all of which are around HV200-300; And quenching, according to the real objects unearthed in later generations, that is, Yan Guo mastered the quenching technology in the late Warring States period, and the hardness of its iron sword has reached HV530. As for whether Chu Guo understands quenching, he understands some with Xiong Jing's observation, but he doesn't understand the principle of quenching, and the method is also very simple, the medium is only water, not oil, salt water and the like.

Naturally, the hardness of the sword is not tested, but the new quenching process allows the blade to easily reach the hardness of HV600 and the high-carbon tool steel to more than 700. However, this is not the reason for the fracture of the Qin sword, the fracture of the Qin sword also lies in its shape like an orchid leaf, the body is narrow and slender, and the length is almost four feet, which has achieved the limit of the bronze sword, and the decorative value is more than the use value, and it is naturally broken by the heavy sword slash.

Xiong Jing only had a general impression of the hardness of the bronze sword, and he didn't know how hard the bronze sword was, and Ou Chou's report to him was that the hardness of the huge iron after quenching was far better than that of bronze and pig iron. He now had a headache when he thought of the sword and iron armor given to the Qin envoy, and he didn't bother to explain the truth to Yu, so he only said: "Don't worry, it won't be long before you can use this sword." ”

"Your Highness!" Yu was overjoyed, and the birds and others thanked each other up and down.

"It's really cheap Qin." After Yu and the others retreated, Xiong Jing muttered to himself, feeling quite sorry in his heart. He wasn't worried that the Qin people would target the Chu State when they saw Jutie, he was worried that the Shaofu of the Qin State would also refine carbon steel, and in that case, he would have one less advantage.

"Summoning the worker Yin Dao." After meditating for a while, Xiong Jing hurriedly summoned Yin Dao, and he had to strengthen his vigilance against the secret of the production of giant iron.

"What a sword!" Yingdu Post House, after slashing several bronze swords again with a huge sword, he suddenly admired from the bottom of his heart, and now he is more and more in love with this five-foot iron sword.

"King Xianzhao once said: 'The husband is sharp and the sword is sharp, and he advocates excellence. Fu Jing sword is sharp, and advocating excellence is thinking far', but from today's point of view, the worries of the king are too much. "One of Dun Liang's cronies who spoke, his perception of the five-foot sword was different from that of Dun Weak." Jing people love beauty and clothing, and their weight is more important than the county and light than the court, and the sword is only used for private fighting, so there is no need to worry. ”

"No, no." Suddenly shook his head weakly, "I also see iron swords a lot, but I have slashed several swords without any damage, but this sword is the only one." After pulling Ying, the Jing people have lost Wanjun, and their iron-smelting land and sword-casting craftsmen will not belong to my Qin State, but to Wei State, and such a sword can still be cast at this time...... When the sky is reversed, it is a disaster, and the earth is a demon, and this matter needs to be investigated. ”

He didn't say how to make someone investigate, but after a while, the person who was searching came. This person is dressed as a Qin army armor, but the person is not a Qin army armor, but the head of the Qin marquis, who has lived in Chu for a long time and Huang Xie has not been found.

"Meet the Chief." The Emperor was not qualified for the official position, but for the title. The lord of the Qin State is the eighteenth rank of the prince, only under the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Guannei, there are 300 families.

"Please." Before he arrived in Yingdu, the two had already contacted him, and he was going to leave Yingdu tomorrow, so Xuan Jun naturally wanted to take the risk of coming to the post station to meet. In fact, it's not a risk, and the new city Yin Jinghua doesn't know how to use the art of espionage at all.

"Tomorrow, the envoy is going to leave Yingdu, do you have something important to tell you about it?" After sitting down at the table, he asked weakly.

"The king's order is known, and there is nothing important to tell you." Xuan Jun said. "It's just that now the eldest son of Jing State is not in Qin, will our army fight it?"

"I don't know." The weak answer was unexpected.

"I don't know?" Xuan Jun Qi said. "Jing Ren has sent envoys to Han, Wei, Yan, and Zhao Siguo more than ten days ago, wanting to condone me. King Jing's heart is seriously ill, and he is terminally ill, if I don't cut down Jing, the eldest son is in Ying, although there is chaos, then the result is unpredictable. ”

"As far as you can see, who is the king of Jing in my favor?" After this banquet, Dun Liang also found that the king of Chu was dying.

"Naturally, it's a bear." Xuan Jun blurted out without thinking about it, he was deeply concerned about this matter.

"Oh?!" Suddenly weakly surprised, he remembered that Xiang Bang said that it was the most beneficial for the Qin State to be the king. "Why not?"

"Although he kills the king and stands, it is not right to win the country, but he is a Jing person, and the one who fights for it will be the benefit of the Jing country......"

"If Xiong is the king, Huang Xie is in power, and the two are also Jing people, what they are fighting for is not the benefit of Jing State?" Paused to interrupt and ask rhetorically.

"But what if Huang Xie dies?" Xuan Jun paused before answering.

"Huang Xie is dead?" After all, Don Liang didn't know the state of Chu, so he only said: "Huang Xie is still dead, there are still Zhao Huang, Nao Cunning and others. ”

"Zhao Huang, Nao Cunning and others are not Huang Xie's party, and they are still in trouble with Huang Xie everywhere." Xuan Jun said in detail, "Jing Hua can kill Huang Xie the best, if he can't kill him...... His disciple Li Yuan has been entrusted to me, and after quelling the chaos, Li Yuan can kill Huang Xie, set up a new king, and dismiss the remaining ministers, and in the future, Jing Guo will no longer join forces and no longer save Zhao. ”

History is always strikingly similar. On the other hand, Xiong Jing was only sealed in my Yuling, not the crown prince, and Jinghua did not lead the left army of the king to become the Yin of Yingdu City. After Xiong Yuan's death, Huang Xie was killed by Li Yuan, and then Xiong Han became the king, Li Yuan was Ling Yin, and Zhao Huang, Nao and others were killed. In the next ten years, the state of Chu and the state of Qin were at peace, and they did not cooperate or save Zhao, and waited for the Qin army to calmly kill.

After Xiong Han's death, his younger brother Xiong Yudai ascended the throne, at this time the fall of Zhao was imminent, Li Yuan, who was in charge of the Chu State, still refused to save Zhao, and the negative soldier from the prince took advantage of the situation to kill and kill Li Yuan, but it was still too late, the Zhao State was dead, and the Chu State was only five years away from the destruction of the country.

Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, although the war was fought by the Qin army, but the contribution of the Qin Marquis spy is indelible. For Zhao, there is Lian Po Zhao Mu; alignment, there is the deception of co-governance and equal division; For Wei, there is the stain of Xinlingjun; For Chu, it is the thorn of Chun Shenjun. These were all directly and indirectly led by the Marquis of Qin, either to give the Qin army a great victory on the battlefield, or to make the countries wait and see and wait for death.

History is already different, Xiong Jing became the crown prince, Jinghua became the Yin of Yingdu City, but Xuan Jun still hopes that the young and ignorant Xiong Han will be the king at the end of the turmoil, and Li Yuan, who has been entrusted to be controlled, will be Ling Yin. In this way, there will be no waves in the future of the Chu State.

"Really?" What Xuan Jun said made his heart flutter. Although the state of Chu is half of the wall, the state of Chu is not within the target of Qin's long-distance close attack - if Wei proposes to join forces and raise troops to rescue Zhao, Qin can attack Wei on a large scale as punishment. The state of Chu is different, the state of Chu is not easy to fight, even if it is destroyed, it will be the benefit of Wei Qi, how can the state of Qin swallow the land of Huaishang Song and Lu across the state of Wei?

Not only can the state of Chu not be able to fight, but also must befriend it, but unfortunately the Chu people and the Sanjin Qi people are completely different, they are not moved by interests at all, and all they have in their hearts is hatred: the hatred of detaining and killing the king of Chu Huai, the hatred of seizing Yan and pulling Ying, and the hatred of being exiled to the east......

"When the eldest son enters Qin, he will be able to do so." Jue Jun is confident.

"If the eldest son doesn't enter Qin, or King Jing is early, what should I do?" He asked weakly.

"Jing Hua didn't dare to kill the king. If King Jing is in Ying, I am afraid that he will only dare to persuade him to change the law, and he will not dare to kill the king and set up another one. "Xuan Jun said the key, he is not sure about Jinghua." At that time, it was more difficult to assassinate the eldest son. ”

"The eldest son must leave Ying." He nodded weakly, but after a while, he asked another question: "My country's Suo Jing eldest son entered Qin, and King Jing is terminally ill, why does no one persuade King Jing to abdicate?" ”

"Who dares to persuade?" Jue Jun asked with a smile.

“…… Yes, who dares to persuade the abolition of the establishment. "I wanted to talk about Huang Xie, but Huang Xie supported Xiong Han instead of supporting the crown prince Xiong Jing." After I return to Qin, what you say today will be reported to the king. ”

"Chief Xie." Jun Xuan bowed in thanks, and he said again: "King Jing has ordered the recruitment of county teachers today, and his actions are very secret. ”

"Know." It was not surprising that the king of Chu would order the Chu army to assemble. "I have one more thing to ......," he called to a subordinate, and the five-foot sword that had been put away was brought again.

"This is the iron sword of Jing, and its benefits are incomparable. Ordinary bronze swords are not sharp, and they are either broken or injured when they hit each other. Suddenly, he introduced. After the Jing Kingdom moved eastward, there was only a copper mountain in the land of iron production, and the craftsman died or died, how could this sword be cast? ”

The sword was unsheathed again, and the five-foot sword surprised Xuan Jun, but it was only surprise. "The chief of the great concubine doesn't know that after moving east, the craftsmen of Jing Kingdom are either dead or dead, but Wu Yue's swordsmith is still there, and it is no different to become this iron sword."

"Wait." Suddenly stood up, he called another subordinate, and seven Qin half taels were stacked by him and placed in a few corners. At this time, the sword was still in the hand of Xuan Jun, and he said, "Please hit it." ”

The first Qin half two pieces are about two millimeters, and the seven pieces are about one and a half centimeters. The weak and serious expression made Xuan Jun no longer hesitate, he raised his sword with both hands, took a deep breath and slashed down with his sword. The hardness of Qin Ban Liang was not as good as that of the bronze sword, and with a sound of 'dang', the blade not only split the seven Qin Ban Liang into two halves, but also cut into the wooden table.

"Good sword!" Collecting the sword and looking at the blade without any damage, Xuan Jun had to praise the good sword. Seeing that Dun was still looking at him, he said, "I will investigate this matter as soon as possible." In the mansion, there are many ink casters in the three Jin Dynasty, and they can order them to help. ”

"It's not so much a good sword as a good iron." Suddenly nodded weakly, but when he thought of the crossbow, he was a little puzzled: "Why is there still no news from the crossbow?" ”

"The crossbow is made of carpentry, and the public loss class is all Lu people, and the Lu people do not enter the ink, so it is difficult to explore." Xuan Jun explained.
