"Summons——! The envoys of the Qin State went to the palace "The envoy of Zhao left, and the servant immediately called for the envoys of the Qin State. When Wei Jia heard this, he changed his anger when he left the hall, and deliberately stood outside the Mao Gate and smiled at the Qin envoy.

Xiong Qi and Li Si entered the court together, Li Si couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Zhao Envoy smiling, Xiong Qi didn't look at Zhao Envoy at all, his eyes were attracted by the Chu Palace from the beginning of entering the court. The Qin Palace is majestic, and the Chu Palace is gorgeous. It is also a palace of the four Ah heavy houses, the Qin Palace looks extremely majestic because of the terrain, and the Chu Palace is built on the flat ground, although it is tall, it gives people the impression that it is not majestic, but a slender beauty.

Such a Chu Palace is only in the narrative of his father when he was a child, and his greatest yearning at that time was to return to Chu as soon as possible and see the gorgeous Chu Palace as soon as possible. It's just more than thirty years in the blink of an eye. More than thirty years later, he is already a Qin man; More than 30 years later, father and son are separated by life and death, and more than 30 years later, the mother palace is already an enemy country.

"Prime Minister be careful." To enter the hall, you need to be promoted, and when Xiong Qi went to climb the steps, Xiong Qi's steps were a little staggering, and Li Si hurriedly reminded him.

"Nothing. I'm thinking......" Xiong Qi couldn't go on, he couldn't say a word about what he was thinking.

"Quick." Xiong Jing was not in the imperial court, and at this time he was changing his clothes behind the door - seeing Zhao Envoy wearing leather clothes, indicating that the state of Chu was peaceful; Seeing that the Qin envoy was wearing Wei Ben's suit, he said that the state of Chu was still at war, and he would make peace if he could talk about it, and fight if he couldn't talk about it. The Qin envoy has been promoted, promoted to the hall, and entered the room. When the Qin envoy passed through the room, Xiong Jing had already returned to the king's seat. The courtiers all looked back at the Qin envoy, and when they turned around, they found that the king had changed into a Wei Ben suit, which was the color of nearly blood, and the red was extremely dazzling.

Xiong Qi, who had just entered the court, did not see the king of Chu fall into the seat, but only saw his small figure alone in the king's seat, dressed in bloody clothes, his eyes were cold and bright, and his hair was broken. It is rumored that the king of Chu saw the corpses of the commoners who were killed by Sikong Ma's order in Yiyi, and cut off his hair to thank his people.

"Qin envoy..."Li Si didn't know that the right prime minister was still distracted, and began to meet the king of Chu as usual, he couldn't help but turn his head after reading two words. At this time, Xiong Qi came back to his senses and said with him: "...... Qin envoy Xiong Qi met with the king of Chu. ”

Is this my brother? Xiong Jing was also looking at Xiong Qi, of course he knew that Xiong Qi was also the son of his father. This older brother is not very tall, about seven feet two inches, dressed in black clothes, about thirty or forty years old, with a wide forehead, square face, beard, although his appearance is a little rough, but his eyebrows are very delicate, like his father.

"The king......" Xiong Jing didn't answer as usual, and Chang Jiang couldn't help but remind softly.

“…… Honorable envoys are exempt. Xiong Jing said loudly, and then began to be polite: "Your envoy is here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"The envoy came here for the sake of the alliance between Qin and Chu." Xiong Qi sighed and began to fulfill his duties - precisely because he was a Chu person, he had to be more Chu than the average Qin person. "However, your country is rude, and the matter of the meeting has been postponed again and again, and today's meeting has summoned the Zhao envoy first, and then the envoy of the party, the king wants to snub my Daqinhu?"

"Qin envoy is fallacious!" Zi Mo, who didn't say half a sentence just now, said, "Zhao envoy entered our country first, Qin envoy entered our country later, and the king should summon Zhao envoy first, and then recruit Qin envoy." ”

"Zhao Guo also deserves to be compared with my Great Qin!" Xiong Qizhu made a pillar and said proudly. "The widow of my country remembered that Qin and Chu had been married for hundreds of years, so he sent this envoy to Chu to reconcile. If your country can apologize to our Great Qin, and promise not to cooperate with Zhao Wei and other countries in the future, the two countries will follow each other by blood, and then repair the marriage. Otherwise......"

"How else?" The envoys of the Qin State were notoriously arrogant, but they were as arrogant as Xiong Qi, and the courtiers couldn't stand it. Xiong Qi was still 'no', so they shouted in unison and asked, 'How else'.

"The Qin army is the division of a hundred battles, and the Great Qin is a powerful country in the world. If your country does not obey, the two countries will fight again. I, the teacher of the Great Qin, am not afraid of you in the Chu Kingdom! Looking at the courtiers on both sides, Xiong Qi looked disdainful. The widow king of our country ordered that 10,000 boats should go down the river and pull out all the cities along the river; Chengyang and Xixian were also besieged by the Qin army again. Although the Chu army is brave, the 210,000 Qin army has made the prince personally go to the battle and swear in the battle, and he must fight side by side with the soldiers, live and die together. How about an army of 800,000? When the 800,000 army entered the city of Yingdu, Yingdu must be pulled, and the king and Qing became prisoners of the Qin army. Zhao people, Wei people......"

"Rude!" Including Zi Mo, the ministers only turned blue when they heard it. After scolding in his heart, Nao slyed and shouted. "I have heard that the Qin State and Yidi are ...... same customs"

"Naoqing!" Xiong Jing stopped the furious Nao cunning, and waited for a quiet moment at the bottom of the stairs before saying: "I have never heard that in the area of the Yellow River in Weishui, Qin, there are many quicksands in the rapids, and the wooden boat is difficult to travel, so the whole cowhide is peeled off, and the limbs are tied tightly, leaving only one hole." When crossing the river, take it out and blow it violently on the hole. When the skin is as big as a cow, the air hole is tightened, and you can cross the river. ”

It was the ministers who told stories to the king, but today the sun came out of the west, and it was the king who told the stories to the ministers. The ministers who were frightened by Xiong Qi's million-strong army turned blue and listened intently to the king's story.

"However, the Qin State has good deeds, like to brag, when the skin is as big as a cow, it is still a fierce bragging cowhide, blowing endlessly, a few years later, the big ox, I don't know how many thousands of miles also, the wind blows and flies, its hooves are like clouds hanging from the sky......"

"Haha......" began to listen to the story of the ministers, but when they heard Zhuangzi's words, they immediately realized that the king was just making fun of the Qin people, and immediately laughed.

Xiong Jing didn't smile, he said seriously: "This giant bull floats in the air, people and beasts on the ground are frightened, thinking that it is a god, setting up a platform to worship, killing animals to sacrifice, but unexpectedly, there is a phoenix pecking it because of differences, and suddenly the skin is broken, and then look at it when it lands, only a cowhide ear!" ”

"Haha...... "Whether it's a real smile or a fake smile, the laughter in the court is boiling, and the panic atmosphere of the millions of troops before is gone.

"Dare to ask what the king means?" The raft had not yet appeared in the Qin State at this time, and Xiong Qi was already angry.

"Unintentionally. I just want to remind the envoy that when the 800,000 army enters the Yingdu, he first asks the strategists where the military rations and baggage come from. When he heard the millions of ministers, his face was blue, and he was as bold as cunning, and he only knew how to reprimand him for being rude, and he didn't know how to pierce his cowhide.

"Humph! Our army carries 50 men and March food on a boat, so why do we need to ask about the weight of military rations? Xiong Qi is still arrogant.

"Why don't you say that 800,000 troops surround my Yingdu?" Xiong Jing knew that he was rolling around, and he didn't care, but said: "Your envoy said that the boat division, but did not advise the noble envoy: The Qin army boat division will be wiped out if it meets my Chu army boat division." If you don't believe it, you can send ten warships into Ying, or if you don't, send ten warships, and let you go upstream, and make an appointment to fight at the right time and place.

If the Qin army wins, he will not apologize to the Qin state, and promise not to cooperate with Zhao Wei in the future, and the two countries will decide to obey each other and repair the marriage again; If the Chu army wins, the Qin state should apologize to our Chu state, return to our Chu state with Jiyi, and the Qin army retreat to the west of Fuyi. Do you dare? ”

After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he looked at Xiong Qi, a smile remained on his face, and Xiong Qi also looked at Xiong Jing, wondering why he was gambling so much.

"Prime Minister, I heard that those upstream in the water war will win, and the king of Chu ......" Li Si was smart and puzzled.

"The king must not!" Nao was shocked when he heard this. He is no better than Wenchen, and he knows the advantage of the upper reaches of the water war.

"Is what the King of Chu said true?" Xiong Qi's heart was shocked, and his eyes instantly became cold.

"You don't have any jokes, so you naturally take it seriously." Xiong Jing's smile was still the same, but his expression was a little stiff.

"Good. However, if my Great Qin is defeated, I will cut Jiyi, if my Great Qin wins, Chu State should cut Xie Yi, this party is fair. "Xiong Qi didn't know if he wanted to give an excuse to make Xiong Jing regret it, so he added conditions." And ten ships are not in array, and if you want to fight, you will fight a hundred. Does the king allow it? ”

"No, the king of your country will allow it?" Xiong Jing chuckled in his heart, a hundred ships were out of his plan.

"I, the Qin people, have always been proud of their bravery, how can I be afraid to fight! Ask the king to summon the scribes to make a covenant. "Xiong Qi, as an envoy of Qin, even if he really loses Jiyi, it is only fifty miles away. And with Fuyi in hand, all the Chu army got was a piece of dead land.

"Make a covenant! The scribe made a contract quickly. Xiong Jing shouted to the left and right, ignoring the eyes of Nao Cunning and the others.

Make a covenant and make an oath. Xiong Qi walked away calmly, as soon as he left the court, there was a lot of commotion, Xiong Jing didn't care, and went straight out of the door and entered the main bed. Nao cunning, these important ministers came after their butts.

"The king is mistaken! How can we let the Qin people live in the upper reaches and our army live in the lower reaches. Nao said slyly, "This battle is in Chu again, if it is defeated, the morale of the army and the people will be destroyed." ”

"Great King, the Qin people can never be trusted, and the covenant cannot be trusted." Xie Yi is just a small town on the upper reaches of Huaishui on the Chu-Qin border. Shen Yinyu thought that Xiong Jing had deliberately wanted to lose to the Qin State before doing so. "In the past, the Qin envoy Zhang Yi coaxed the first monarch to conceive the king and negotiate in the land of 600 miles......"

"Jiyi is less than sixty miles." Xiong Jing emphasized, "The city is just an addition, what is not to be asked is for the Qin State to apologize to my Chu State." ”

"The king thinks our army can win this battle?" Lu Yangjun is a relatively calm person, he heard Xiong Jing talk about the boat across the sea.

"Nature can win, otherwise why would you want to give up upstream." Xiong Jing muttered. "Where is Gong Yindao, and where is the public doctor?"

"The king must not be deceived by the Qin people......" There were many courtiers gathered outside the main bed, and these people came before they arrived. When they squeezed into the Yan Dynasty, they said loudly: "The Qin people have no faith, please ask the king to ally Zhao and reject Qin, and you must not be deceived by the Qin people." ”

"The Qin people sent 10,000 people to Chu to apologize for their crimes, so why didn't they agree." Xiong Jing looked at the courtiers, and on the first day he looked at the court, he found that most of the courtiers had nothing to do, and there was nothing they could do to intimidate the Qin envoys.

"The king made a covenant with the Qin people in the Zheng Dynasty: if the Qin Zhou Division wins, it can retreat to the Wei State, and my Chu State cannot pursue the rest of the Chu army except for the War Boat Division. The Qin people entered Dongting from the Nanjun River, went to Guangling into Hangou, and then entered Huaishui from Hangou, and entered more than 4,000 miles into our Chu realm. The dangers of rivers and tidal flats and the preparation of coastal cities are all in the eyes of the Qin army. He went down the river with the Qin people, and the state of Chu was in danger. The king must not allow the Qin people to enter Chu along the river! ”

"You know about water warfare?" Finally hearing the informative advice, Xiong Jing was a little surprised. He agreed that the Qin State Boat Division would go down the river into Chu, just to delay time, only by dragging it out for a long time can we build more ships, and the three-oared warship is no more than other warships, and it takes more time to build.
