Chapter 13: Truth

During the discussion, the courtiers withdrew from the Yan Dynasty without permission, which made Xiong Jing more and more angry the more he thought about it, and he angrily issued a summoning festival, summoning the envoys of Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Han to rush to the main court, and he had something important to announce.

Zhao's Lianyu, Wei's Wei envoy Wei Jianwu, Han envoy Han Cheng, these three people are waiting to see each other in Yingdu at any time, Qi envoy Tianjiao is not as eager as the other envoys of the three kingdoms, but there is a ghost in his heart, and he is also worried about it these days, for fear that the king of Chu will summon him, and now as soon as he is called, he hurried over from the post station.

In the palace of Zhu Ao, in front of Tianjiao, Lianyu and Wei Jianwu is a map of the world, and the five kingdoms of Chu, Qin, Qi, Wei and Zhao are painted on the map in five colors. In the south of Zhao Guoyan Land and Dai Land, only Handan remains, but the color of the lost land has not changed; Nanjun, Nanyang County, and Shangyu were all painted the same red color as the land of Chu to indicate their belonging, and although Korea was annexed by Qin, the color of Yingchuan County was also different from Qin's gray. Qi and Wei have not been at war, and their borders have not been moved.

Looking at the land of Zhao on the map, Lian Yu said: "Qin Taiyuan and Shangdang counties are both Zhao land. ”

The color of the Zhao land annexed by the Qin State remained unchanged, only a layer of dark gray of the Qin State was chaotic. The drawing is very detailed, but Lian Yu feels that it is not accurate.

"This king is the map of the world after tomorrow, only nine years. Yan and still Zhao Di. Nao replied slyly. Isolated in the west of Taihang Mountain, it was only in recent years that the Qin people uprooted the Zhao land. "The widow thinks that the world is the world of the nations, not the world of the city, and now Xianyang has been broken, and the Qin state will decline, so the world should be redefined and the boundaries should be determined.

The land of disadvantages, except for the old Ying, but the square city. North of Fangcheng, it has nothing to do with the disadvantages......"

Those places that the Chu State wanted, Xiong Jing and the courtiers of the Zheng Dynasty discussed countless times before the war. Although there are various opinions, these opinions are still mainly based on Fuying. Jiuying and Nanyang were actually one before the Middle Ages, Nanyang belonged to Jianghan, and after the Middle Ages, Nanyang belonged to the Central Plains.

The Jianghan Plain, as the old Chu land, is naturally owned by the Chu State, and the Nanyang Fangcheng with the Jianghan serialization is naturally also owned by the Chu State. And to the west, when Zhang Yi coaxed the 600 li Shang Yu of the former monarch Huai Wang - Shang Yu was related to Wuguan Dao, and the Qin State did not separate it into a county, or belong to that county, but directly governed the internal history, which naturally belonged to the Chu State.

In addition to Shang Yu, Hanzhong, which has not been fully taken so far, is, of course, also owned by the Chu State. The Hanzhong County of the Qin State was an expansion of the earlier Hanzhong County of the Chu State, and the Hanzhong County of the Chu State did not include the Nanzheng (i.e., the Hanzhong Basin), which was subordinate to the Shu State at that time, and only went to the Shiquan (now Ankang Shiquan) of the Ba State. According to the Qin and Han Middle Counties, they will have complete control over the mountain road over the Qinling Mountains. This strategic location, of course, cannot be ceded.

The places that Chu State wanted, except for Fangcheng, which was coveted by Wei Jian and Han Cheng, and Hanzhong County, which was discussed by Zhu Yue, there were no other places that were unacceptable. Everyone's eyes are mostly focused on the Central Plains, especially Sanchuan County, Hanoi County, and Dong County.

"All the countries were sealed by Zhou Tianzi, so the widow thought that the land of Luoyang should be Zhou Ye." Nao Cunning recently put forward the requirements of the Chu State, in addition to the requirements of the Chu State itself, there are also Zhou people.

"The Eastern Zhou Jun Ji Gen has died, and his descendants ......" Han Cheng is stupid, if it is Zhang Liang again, he will definitely wrap this matter up and conjure up a Ji Gen's son-in-law.

"There are so many heirs surnamed Ji, the land of Luoyang is given to the Zhou people, and there is no objection to the disadvantages." Tian Jiao doesn't care about the fate of Luoyang, only about the belonging of Dong County and Hanoi County. "However, in the battle of Qin, the two counties of Dongyi and Hanoi should also be ......."

"You ......" Tian Jiao was about to swallow Dongjun and Hanoi County as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Jian and Lian Yu had to refute it, but Tian Jiao had not finished speaking, he said: "Qin envoy Wang Ao to Linzi, his words are willing to cut off Dongjun and Hanoi counties, and south of Hutuoshui to Zhao to Qi." ”

"Really?" Nao was surprised, not only surprised that the Qin envoy had arrived in Linzi so quickly, but also surprised by the handiwork of the Qin State.

"Yes, yes." Tian Jiao handed over the news from Linzi. "Is it a country without faith, and it has been expelled from Linzi."

"Good." Nao cunning glanced at Tian Jiao, and felt the faith of Qi people.

"However, Linzi thinks that the city has sent the most troops, and the land obtained must not be smaller than that of other countries." Tian Jiao put forward Qi Guo's request. "If the Qin State declines, the Zhao State can restore the old land, and it will have the two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang, the Wei State can get the three counties of Sanchuan, Hedong, and even Shangjun, and the Republic of Korea can restore the country, and the two counties of Dong County and Hanoi will be obtained by the disadvantages, which is not an exaggeration."

"This ......" from the perspective of area, Tianjiao's division of Wei and Zhao did not suffer, but the problem is that Dongjun and Hanoi County are in the east, Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Hedong are all west of Taihang Mountain, Shangjun is in the west of Luliang Mountain, and Sanchuan County includes Kunshan Mountain, but the most elite basin has to be returned to the Zhou people, and the five counties are very hot.

"When Yiyi took Hedong County, did the Qi State send troops?" Wei Jian asked worriedly.

"The Wei State took Hedong County, so it should naturally be the Wei State sending troops." Tin Kok Road.

"Humph!" Wei Jian had a really such expression, "The Qi State won Dong County and Hanoi County because of the attack on Qin by the countries, and the disadvantage wants to get Hedong County, but it has to take it by itself, which is also biased." ”

"After this defeat, the Qin State will be weak. The Wei army has the thundering weapon of the Chu State, why are the Qin people? Tian Jiao asked rhetorically. And in the land of one county of Wei, there are only 150,000 soldiers who can fight, but there are two counties, is this not biased? ”

"In the land of a county, 150,000 soldiers can also break the Qin people. And Puyang and the west of Pingyang are all old lands, how can they be returned to the Qi State? "Zhao is dying, and Lian Yu just wants to save Zhao; South Korea is dead, Han Cheng wants to restore the country, and it is Qi Wei and Wei who are really in dispute.

The Eastern County of Wei can only give up to the east of Puyang, and the Hanoi County does not let it in principle, there is really no way, and the east of Gongyi can also be ceded. The state of Qi and the great river of Zhao are boundaries, so they can only expand to the east. Dongjun must be swallowed, this is related to the safety of Linzi. Hanoi County is north of the Great River, Taihang Bacheng, Handan is facing Fukou Mountain, Gongyi guards Baicheng, Hanoi County can let part of it to Wei, but the control of Gongyi and Baicheng is in the hands of Qi State.

This is precisely the most opposition of the Wei state. The west of Taihang Mountain and the east of Luliang Mountain are the land of Jin, and the State of Qi can touch the land of Jin if it has Baicheng, not to mention the State of Wei, even the State of Zhao does not agree. When the Qi State was at its strongest, it did not enter the west of Taihang Mountain.

In Zhuao's mansion, it was full of quarrels between Wei Jian and Tian Jiao; In the south of Weishui, Zhao Zheng gradually went crazy against Xianyang City on the other side of Weishui.

Although Wei Yi has been blocking the news, and although Zhao Zheng has not wanted to investigate whether the Chu army has pulled out Xianyang, when the facts are in front of him, everything is so pale and powerless.

The capital was pulled out and the Taimiao was burned, even if he was mentally prepared, Zhao Zheng still couldn't do it himself. At first, he was still calm, and he didn't blame Wei Yi or the people in the tent. But in the middle of the night, he couldn't help crying in the tent after a day of anger and sadness.

He thought of the thirty generations of ancestors of the Qin State, the ancestors who first entered the customs and raised horses in Huangshui, and the Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield. The majestic Great Qin was actually attacked by the Chu people and burned the Taimiao, which was a shame that the Qin State had never had. This is a shame, and what is even more shameful is that the 500,000 Qin army let the 100,000 Chu army be like no man's land, and the bright face of Xianyang is in front of them, but they can't cross the Weishui and fight to the death with the Chu army.

Why the Qin army couldn't cross the Weishui, Wei Yi said very clearly, the forced crossing was bound to be attacked by the Chu army halfway, and bypassing the Chu army would go out of Xianyang and return to Shangyu. All the Qin army could do was to set up a position and wait for the Chu army to run out of food in Weinan. Once the food ran out, it was the Qin army that took the opportunity to attack halfway.

The truth is this truth, but the self-blame and shame in his heart make Zhao Zheng not want to accept this reality. He can only vent at night, or cry, or drunk, or murderous ......, every day, he has to go crazy, within a few days, he becomes described as withered, tempered, and the same as Xiongjing, he must use the blood of the Chu people to wash away this shame, must destroy the Chu country, raze the capital to the ground, in order to regain inner peace.

"King Qiqi, Bai Di, Lord Bai Di is the best." Weinan Wang Curtain, Zhao Zheng, who was draped in hair, only showed a pair of fierce eyes. Zhao Gao's report made him hesitate, as if he had forgotten who Lord Bai Di was, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Quick call." ”

The remnants of the lieutenants and guards led by Qi Brown went north from Wuguan to Lu Shi first, and then made a big circle from Lu Shi before crossing the Qinling Mountains, and returned to the Guanzhong Plain with the troops of other counties. In the scorching summer, Aristotle IV walked through the mountains and forests and inhaled miasma, and from time to time he would have chills all over his body and foam at the mouth. Although he was unwell, he immediately returned to Zhao Zheng when he was on a mission.

When he entered the royal curtain, Zhao Zheng's loose hair had been tied, and he was wearing a red deer crown on his head, and he was wearing a red robe. The color is like blood, this color is exciting, but no matter how exciting it is, it is difficult to hide Zhao Zheng's pale and gray face.

"Your Majesty......" Aristotle IV was surprised by the change in Zhao Zheng. The Qin army was not really defeated, but only lost Humdan. The king's mother, the beautiful queen, his student Fusu, and countless concubines were all in the royal city of Humdan.

However, Aristotle IV believed that they would not be harmed in any way - after the Battle of Issus (333 BC), Alexander the Great also captured Darius's family, but the Emperor treated them with royal etiquette without the slightest insult. King Chuni is the real king, and the true king will never bully the weak, he will only challenge the strong.

Aristotle IV thought so much that he wanted to comfort Zhao Zheng, but Zhao Zheng turned a deaf ear after hearing about the unscrupulous interpretation, and he only asked: "My lord, can you see the witchcraft of the Jing people?" ”

"Of course." The power of the cannon made Aristotle IV tremble, believing that it was Zeus' weapon, but it was not clear why it was stolen by the Chuni. "I saw it, and it was as fearsome as the thunder of Zeus. All the secrets are in that black powder, and when the Chuni use the thunder, they will stuff the iron pipe with the powder wrapped in silk......"
