Chapter 58: Failure

"Hahahaha......" Zhao envoy Wei Jia laughed in the post house, and followed him, and the attendants and servants of the envoy also laughed. In the laughter, the worries of the Chu and Qin Leagues disappeared earlier, and everyone laughed at the mouth of the king of Chu and ridiculed the Qin people for their love of bragging.

Braggadocio indeed. 800,000 troops entered the city of Yingdu, the rivers of Qin did not connect to the Huaishui, and the upper reaches of the Huaishui could not sail, as long as the Chu army retreated, the boats were burned or transferred south, and the Qin army could not reach the Yingdu at all. Only by occupying Wei and transporting through the chasm connecting the Yellow River, Lishui and Suishui, can the Qin State attack the Chu State with an army of 800,000 troops, otherwise it is bragging.

"Dare to ask the doctor, ...... before," the attendant made a killing gesture, "what should I do?" ”

"Chu and Qin did not make an alliance, but instead made a war with each other, killing them was not only useless, but made the Chu people angry with me and Zhao Guo." Wei Jia said leisurely, his previous plan was to send the dead to rush into the courtyard where the Qin envoy lived, and kill them as quickly as possible.

"The villain knows." The attendant replied. Fu You thought that the king of Chu ridiculed the Qin people for their penchant for bragging, and smiled again.

"Do you know where Mr. Crown is at this time?" Wei Jia asked again. The Queen Mother is a move of chess, and the Queen Mother is also a move. The queen mother's move didn't work out for some reason, but he believed that there would be no problems with the queen mother's move.

In the main bed, the ministers have dispersed, including the doctor Lu Zhuo, who is a little familiar with water warfare, and Xiong Jing is alone with Taifu Guanzi at this time.

"The king wants to make peace with Qin?" The voice of the crown was weak, and he went to Zhao to eat and sleep in the open, begging Zhao to send troops and exhausted. During this time, he felt like an old swordsman, and the sword styles that he used to be comfortable with were now always clumsy. This is true for entering Zhao, and the same is true for returning to Chu.

"Exactly." In the face of the teacher Xiong Jing, he seemed to be honest, whether he won or lost, he had to reconcile with the Qin State, and it was just a price to fight.

"Hey......" "If Zijing can't take advantage of this opportunity to attack Qin, there will be no chance of repeating it in the world." Ten years later, the state of Zhao will not exist, and more than ten years later, the state of Chu will also cease to exist. Zijing really wants to abandon the community and drive the sea boat, and travel in the world? ”

Hearing Xiong Jing's long sigh, Xiong Jing felt guilty, and he said helplessly: "The teacher thinks that King Zhao really wants to fight with the Qin State? Can the teacher know that Wei has been envoyed from Qin to say that he will no longer be in harmony? The teacher ......" Xiong Jing also sighed, "In the first battle of Qingshui Hebei, 270,000 Chu troops fought against 210,000 Qin troops, and at that time, the Qin army entered the ambush of our Chinese army, however, the left and right armies were defeated by the Qin army, and they could not attack at all!" Can such a joint attack on Qin win? ”

"......" The news of Wei Guo's incompatibility did not surprise Yu Guanzi, from the moment Zhao envoy Wei Jia met with Zhao envoy Wei Wang, he knew that the Wei king who had suffered a loss would sacrifice Zhao Chu to Qin in exchange for his own peace - the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, who has been on the throne for five years, has long woken up from the dream of Xinling Jun's victory over the Qin army, and he no longer dares to join the Qin.

And Zhao State, although it said that it would send troops in October, but the Zhao army really pulled out the camp in November. Even if the troops were dispatched, even if the troops were on the Yellow River, the Zhao army did not vigorously solicit boats to cross the river, and the intention of not fighting was fully demonstrated.

Xiong Jingzhi asked, and the crown was speechless, but the strength in the blood of the Zhao people still prompted him to say: "Those who do often succeed, and those who do often come." Even if it can't attack Qin together, it can echo the north and south of Zhao, or it can attack Qi to increase national strength. ”

"How about the Qi State, I once asked the ministers, attacking Qi can take its golden jade bell and Ding, but the Qi State cannot be conquered. The State of Qi is similar to the State of Chu, but it is also different from the State of Chu. When Nao Ya killed King Min of Qi, he was killed by the nobles and the people in the market, which seems to be the resistance of Wu Shi into the people of Yingchu back then. It can be seen that the rule of Qi is the same as that of Chu, which is lower than above. Once the Qin State sent troops to rescue them, the Qi people echoed, and the Chu army had no other way but to retreat. You can only get the golden jade bell ding, you can't get the food soldiers, and it is not advisable to attack the army. ”

Xiong Jing reluctantly vetoed the teacher's strategy, although he said the above reasons, there were still some things he didn't say:

'Rather go to the East China Sea, righteousness than Emperor Qin', this is the blood of the Qi people, and there is also Tian Heng, a nobleman of the Qi State who would rather kill himself than submit to the Han. In such a Qi country, even if the Chu and Zhao troops occupied the Qi land, they could not recruit the Qi people into an army, and could only obtain the gold and jade taxes of the Qi land. What Chu lacks is people, and attacking Qi cannot obtain the population, but instead sticks to the occupying army, and then the people of Qi cooperate with the Qin army, and drive themselves away, and finally except for Qin, they add an enemy out of thin air, which is tantamount to tying up a stone and hitting their own feet.

"What does Zijing want?" The crown asked. After only two months of separation, he found that Xiong Jing had become extremely unfamiliar.

"Rejecting Qin to save the community, we should not pin our hopes on the outside, but on the inside......" Xiong Jing said. Although he answered on his lips, he was hesitant in his heart to explain the plan and plan for the teacher's advice.

"There's no hope in the house." Ku Guanzi interrupted, he had lived in the Chu State for decades, and his understanding of the Chu State was far better than Xiong Jing, and he was far better than many ministers in the court. "If the state of Chu follows the law of Qin, the country will be in chaos. And the county Yin Yi Yin, the Gong clan and the Qing clan are all enemies with Zijing, and the Qin army attacked more than ten years later, and the Chu State was self-defeating. ”

"If..." When Xiong Jing was about to speak, Chang Jiang walked in, and he whispered: "Great King, Doctor Sanlu Qu and Yang Wenjun ask to meet." ”

"Doctor Qu, Yang Wenjun......" Xiong Jing was a little puzzled, Yang Wenjun knew that this person was the same generation as his father, and he had pretended to fight for the throne with his father, and after his father ascended the throne, he was silent in the fief for more than 20 years, staying at home, and only recently came out to activities. His position is pro-Qin, how could such a person, Dr. Sanlu, bring him to ask to see him?

"Since Dr. Qu asked to see him, the old man retired." He wanted to stay, but Eli had to quit.

"Teacher......" Xiong Jing was about to let him stay, when he suddenly saw Chang Jiang blinking his eyes, so he had to change his words: "...... Please take a break. When he went to bed, he asked Chang Jiang: "What the hell is going on?!" ”

"King, Qin has made Xiong Qi here." Chang Jiang attached himself to Xiong Jing's ear and said in a voice that only Xiong Jing could hear.

"Ahh Qin ......: "Xiong Qi, the Qin envoy who was arrogant and disdainful of Chu just now, actually came again. "Why did he come?"

"The king summoned him and found out. Please retreat from the king, especially the Zhao people. The face of the long Jiang beard was full of vigilance, and he was very glad that the Zhao servant named Ge no longer served the king.

"No." Xiong Jing was still wondering why Xiong Qi came to see him, so he casually agreed and let Chang Jiang retreat.

"The king called. Doctor Qu please, Yang Wenjun please, Qin envoy please. Chang Jiang, who retreated left and right, did not send a servant to welcome the guests, but personally went out to bed to attract people into the court. Xiong Qi was dressed as a servant, and he sighed when he called 'Qin Envoy'. When he entered the Yan Dynasty, he saw the thin Xiong Jing sitting on the table, he couldn't help but be excited, and bowed loudly: "Brother Xiong Qi to meet Brother Wang!" ”

"This!" Xiong Jing was shocked, he couldn't figure out how the arrogant Qin envoy just now had become a cousin, he thought at most that the Qin envoy who was tough on the surface was probably here to exchange money so that the two countries could make a truce as soon as possible.

"Great King," Qu Sui signaled, "Ziqi is my Chu people, and staying in Qin is a last resort, and the words of the Shicai Hall are also a last resort." ”

"Brother, please." As soon as Qu Sui said Xiong Jing, he understood, and he helped Xiong Qi up with a little excitement when he left the table.

"Brother Wang!" Xiong Qi looked at Xiong Jing carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he looked like his younger brother Chang Wenjun. Bloodline, this is the bloodline that cannot be cut off!

"Brother Jing is the king of Chu, and this God blesses the country of Chu." Xiong Qi worshiped again, he did not worship Xiong Jing, but the East, which was the East Emperor Taiyi. He worshipped, Qu Sui and Yang Wenjun also worshipped, Xiong Jing was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with himself.

After worshipping and sitting down, Yang Wenjun said: "Ziqi envoy Chu, since it is a truce for the two countries, it is also to worship the first king." The battle of Chu was done by Qin Xiangbang LΓΌ Buwei. LΓΌ Buwei and Zhao Guonai were two or five couples, knowing that the king of Qin wanted to cut off the ministers of Zhao and replace them with Chu ministers, so he used the name of asking for quality to attack Chu in order to suppress Chu ministers. Now Ziqi has overthrown LΓΌ Buwei, and the government is in the hands of Chu Chen......"

The Qin State is the center of the world, and the battle between the swords and soldiers in the Qin Palace is alluded to the world, which is the war of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood. Xiong Jing understands this truth, isn't this exactly the case in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China?

Britain went south to contain Russia, Western Europe supported Germany, the Near East supported the Ottomans, and the Far East was dominated by the Manchus and Japan. After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan won and began to formally support Japan, and Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War was the division of Japan and Britain into East Asia and the exclusion of other powers.

Later, after the end of World War I, Britain weakened, and the Labour Party rose in China, so it had to dissolve the alliance between Japan and Britain under pressure from the United States, and instead signed the Nine-Power Pact, and gradually withdrew from the Far East. At the same time, the Soviet Union was defeated in Warsaw, and Lenin turned to attack the weak areas of imperialism, supporting Turkey, the Polish Communist Party, the Indian Communist Party of Nanyang, and Sun Wenhe ......

Weak countries can only passively accept the transformation of hegemonic politics and survive in the slightest cracks. Effort is not too important, the key is to grasp the direction of the wind. At this time, the direction of the wind changed, and the Qin State of Chu was ready to destroy Zhao, or in other words, the war of Chu was just a small twist and turn in the policy of destroying Zhao, but it was this small twist and turn that also made the Chu State fight for his life and pressed all the gambling capital.

Before Yang Wenjun finished speaking, Xiong Jing was in a cold sweat and his hands and feet were cold - the great battle in which he gambled his life was just a small glitch in the huge war machine of the Qin State. Now the operator has come over and told him that the fault has been eliminated and that you are safe.

Impotence! Weakness in the whole body, followed by discouragement. Fortunately, he still remembered that he was the thirty-third and forty-third king of Chu, and he had to inherit the legacy of his ancestors and continue the society of Chu.

"The King?" Qu Sui saw that something was wrong, so he asked.

"Iβ€”I'm fine." Xiong Jing looked at Xiong Qi again: "May I ask my brother, King Qin has decided to destroy Zhao?" ”

"Exactly. When King Qin was young, he confronted Zhao Ji in Handan and hated the Zhao people. Otherwise, even with the help of my aunt, we can't use Chang Yu as a guide to separate him and Zhao Ji. "Probably because the victory was thrilling at the beginning, and the brother was too excited when he first saw him, Xiong Qi himself didn't realize that he was talking about the past, but fortunately, what he wanted to say was not the past." For the sake of the Chu State, the Chu State should be at peace with Qin. And with the intention of my aunt, I asked my brother Wang to marry Princess Yu Qin, and when I gave birth to a son-in-law and ascended the throne in the future, Qin Chu would be at peace......"
