The king of Chu adopted the strategy of 'dividing the north and the south' proposed by Chen Zhen to divide the relationship between the Zhao state and the princes of the Central Plains, so as to defeat the Qi state and win the Central Plains. The king of Chu pondered a little, and thought about who should be sent to Zhao State. Zhao Yao mentioned a few, but they were all rejected by the king of Chu. Xiong Biao said that Qu Yuan's personality was arrogant, but he was the best at diplomatic etiquette. The King of Chu thought about it and felt that Qu Yuan was the best candidate to envoy to Zhao.

The king of Chu asked the eunuch to order Zhaoyao to go to Qu Mansion, and it is said that Qu Yuan traveled north.

Zhao Yao came to Qu Mansion and stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. He knew Qu Yuan's personality very well and thought about how to talk about Qu Yuan. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yao didn't think of a way. Zhao Yao saw that Qu Yuan directly made his intentions clear. Without the slightest hesitation, Qu Yuan agreed to send an envoy to Zhao State. Zhao Yao was stunned for a while, although he couldn't understand why Qu Yuan would simply accept this errand. But Qu Yuan promised to send an envoy to Zhao Guo, and he didn't ask why.

The next day, the king of Chu took Qu Yuan as the main envoy and Xiong Hua as the deputy envoy, carrying rich treasures and sending an envoy to Handan, Zhao State. The states of Chu and Zhao did not share a border, and the two countries did not have an alliance, so they had little contact in peacetime. Because the state of Chu attacked Qin and betrayed the alliance, it broke the heart of the Central Plains. Zhao Yong was also not optimistic about the King of Chu, and he was even more reluctant to take the initiative to befriend the King of Chu. The state of Chu took the initiative to send an envoy to Handan of the state of Zhao, and the monarchs and ministers of the state of Zhao could not refuse people thousands of miles away.

Although the monarchs and ministers of Zhao did not understand the intentions of Chu State. But the state of Chu is a big country on the great river and the overlord of the south. The etiquette that Zhao Guojun and his ministers should have should not be missing. Zhao Yong received the envoy of Chu with a grand state salute in Congtai Palace. Qu Yuan saw that Zhao Jun was in a high position, with extraordinary bearing and appearance, and handed over the national letter and said: "My king sent me as an envoy to your country to conclude friendship." This is the national letter of my king, please Zhao Jun take a look. ”

Chu envoy's words are like bathing in a spring breeze, and he is polite, not as barbaric as described by the Central Plains.

Zhao Yong asked, "The ambassador's surname is great." ”

Qu Yuan didn't expect Zhao Jun to ask such a question, and he was stunned for a while. Qu Yuan thought to himself, the princes of the Central Plains relied on themselves to be a civilized state and despised the Chu State. Qu Yuan planned to use his own article to slap the face of the monarch and minister of Zhao State, and said calmly: "Emperor Gaoyang's Miao descendant, Emperor I am called Boyong." Seti Zhen is in Meng Xi, but Geng Yin and I surrender. Huang Lan Yu Chu Xi, Zhao Xi Yu to Jia name: the name Yu is said to be regular, and the word Yu is Lingjun. Qu Yuan looked up at Zhao Jun, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Does Zhao Jun know who I am?" ”

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." Zhao Yong said slowly: "You are from Chu, so you naturally know that it comes from Qu Yuan's mouth. Qu Yuan is the third doctor of Chu State and Zuo Situ, and he is very talented. The king of Chu once entrusted him with government affairs. Qu Yuan took the world of Chu as his own responsibility, did his best, and hoped to give Chu a beautiful government. The widow admires Qu Yuan's personality, and the articles he writes will always be viewed. Qu Yuan's "National Martyrdom", the widow can't put it down. ”

Qu Yuan asked, "Zhao Jun knows Qu Yuan. ”

"Although the widow has never met Qu Yuan. But few people have heard of Qu Yuan's deeds. The three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Qin met in the Yongsang alliance. Zhang Yi said wildly that he wanted to divide the world into three parts and annex the princes. Doctor Sanlu holds the sword of Chu and divides the high and low with the Qin State. Zhang Yi was forced to have no way out. In order to compete with Qin, Doctor Sanlu first promoted the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu to jointly attack Qin, and then joined forces to resist Qin. Zhang Yi entered Chu twice and deceived the king of Chu. The king of Chu ignored the people's anger and did not think about the national shame, and released Zhang Yi. Doctor Sanlu scolded the king of Chu in the court and was demoted from Yingdu. Dr. Sanlu is upright and upright, dedicated to the country, and his iron and arrogant bones have always been admired by widows. ”

Qu Yuan asked quietly: "What kind of person does Zhao Jun think Qu Yuan is?" ”

Zhao Yong replied: "The world is turbid and I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am sober." Qu Yuan does not admire fame and fame, and is a gentleman who is dedicated to the country. ”

Qu Yuan replied lightly: "How can Zhao Jun see that Qu Yuan is a gentleman. What if Qu Yuan is a man of fame and fame? ”

"Literati have their own arrogance, Qu Yuan's articles have been read by few people. Qu Yuan is talented, helps the world, and is upright. In the battle of Danyang, the Qu clan fought for the Chu State, and the Qu clan was full of heroes. Qu Yuan could never be a fame-seeker. Qu Yuan is two years older than the widow, and the widow can't write his articles. ”

Qu Yuan didn't expect him to work hard all his life, but the king of Chu did not approve of it, and the ministers of Chu also laughed at him. But he didn't expect to be praised by Zhao Jun. Qu Yuan sighed: "Thanks to Zhao Jun's love, I am Qu Yuan." ”

Zhao Yong exclaimed: "You are Qu Yuan." ”

"My king sent me as an envoy to your country to conclude a friendship with Zhao Jun." Qu Yuan also said: "Writing articles, Zhao Jun is not as good as me." But on the march to fight, I am not as good as Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun disregarded the eyes of the world, broke the old system, and took the lead in the princes to implement Hufu cavalry shooting. This courage and strategy cannot be compared with many princes. Qu Yuan can't be compared. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Qu Yuan, the widow promotes Hufu riding and shooting. True or false. ”

Zhao Jun saw the benefits of Hufu riding and shooting, and he had the strategy and courage to implement it. And why care about right and wrong. Qu Yuan said lightly: "The brave are not afraid of life and death, and they are not willing to be blinded by clouds. Zhao Guo's implementation of Hufu is unacceptable for the time being. But thousands of years later, when later generations mention the four words Hufu riding and shooting, they will think of Zhao Jun. Why did Zhao Jun bother to let the floating clouds blind him and ask whether it was right or wrong. ”

"The widow is often confused, and if he can listen to the words of the sage, how can he care about right and wrong."

Xiong Hua, the deputy envoy of the State of Chu, saw that Qu Yuan only cared about talking with Zhao Jun, forgot about business, and kept glancing at Qu Yuan's envoy. Qu Yuan understood, and only then did he realize what he was doing in Zhao Kingdom.

Qu Yuan asked, "Zhao Jun, let's still talk about business." My king sent me as an envoy to Zhao to conclude peace, but I don't know if Zhao Jun has any intentions. ”

Zhao Yong cleaned up his mood and replied: "Zhao and Chu do not border, and there is no trouble with soldiers. Chu and Zhao got along peacefully, and this national letter was somewhat redundant. ”

Qu Yuan saw that Zhao Yong hadn't read the national letter, let alone the content of the national letter, so he hurriedly said, "Please Zhao Jun read the national letter first." ”

Zhao Yong looked at the national letter and exclaimed: "The king of Chu wants to form an alliance with the widow and divide the world equally. ”

Qu Yuan analyzed the current situation, and said: "If there is chaos today, conquests are everywhere, and the Central Plains is constantly in war. My king is willing to form an alliance with Zhao to end the war and exchange for peace in the world. ”

Zhao Yong put away the national letter and asked, "I don't understand the meaning of the King of Chu." ”

"My king poured the power of the kingdom of Chu into the north and south. The state of Zhao went from the north to the south. Chu and Zhao flanked the princes of the Central Plains and ended the war. The place where the two countries meet is the dividing line between Zhao and Chu. Seeing that Zhao Jun's face had not changed, Qu Yuan couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, and asked, "What does Zhao Jun think?" ”

Zhao Yong thought for a while and replied: "The north and south will attack the princes of the Central Plains and divide the world equally." The stakes were high, and the widow still had to consult with the courtiers. ”

Qu Yuan did not urge Zhao Jun to make a decision immediately, and saluted: "Zhao Jun will give me an answer after discussing with the courtiers. I'll go back to the official post first and wait for news from Zhao Jun. ”

Zhao Yong said: "The widow will give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

Qu Yuan said: "Farewell." ”

After Qu Yuan left, Zhao Yong left behind a loyal and reliable minister. The whole hall was not quiet either. The state of Chu united with the state of Zhao, and the north and south attacked the princes of the Central Plains, dividing the world equally. This idea has never been thought of by the monarchs of Zhao State.

Fei Yi sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Your Excellency really wants to form an alliance with the Chu State and attack the Central Plains from the north and south." ”

"The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei attacked the state of Chu, and the king of Chu couldn't resist it and wanted to drag the widow into the water. The widow is not so confused. Zhao Yong glanced at the national letter and said: "The Central Plains is a mess, but the situation is relatively stable. None of the vassal states could destroy the other. The king of Chu tried in vain to use the false name of dividing the world equally, tempting the widows, and attacking the princes of the Central Plains. The king of Chu is too underestimated. ”

"The envoy of the State of Chu came to Handan, and the princes of the Central Plains also received the news. How will the princes of the Central Plains react. Fei Yi said optimistically: "The king of Chu set up a bureau just to drag us into the water. Whether we agree or not, the princes of the Central Plains will also be wary of our country. Your Majesty, the State of Chu has given us a problem. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Chu State is at war with Qi, Han, and Wei, who do you think the widow should support?" ”

Gongzi became a Taoist: "Qi, Han, and Wei are civilized states. The state of Chu is a barbarian. How can we support the barbarians in their attack on civilized nations? Since we can't dodge, it's better to join the Central Plains princes to attack Chu. ”

"The state of Chu has always been untrustworthy. Whoever is friends with the State of Chu is doomed to bad luck. Li Dui saw that Jun Shang continued without interrupting: "The five kingdoms attacked Qin, and the Chu State withdrew its troops, resulting in the failure of the attack on Qin. Han Hui* allowed the state of Chu to attack Qin, and the shore gate was beheaded by Qin. Han Wangcang trusted Chu to attack Qin, Chu rebelled, and Han Yiyang was broken by Qin. The State of Qi regarded the State of Chu as a friend, but the State of Chu led the troubles to the east. The state of Qi defeated the princes in a crushing manner. ”

"The princes of the Central Plains do not trust the state of Chu, and the state of Chu has no friends. We can't treat Chu as a friend either. Tian Buli also said: "The state of Chu can lead the disaster to the east, or it can lead the disaster to the north." ”

"The state of Chu united our country to attack the princes of the Central Plains in the north and south. Soon the princes of the Central Plains will also send envoys to our country to invite them to join the camp of attacking Chu. We promised that the state of Chu would offend the princes of the Central Plains. We promised the princes of the Central Plains that they would be at odds with Chu. Gongzicheng asked, "Who does the king plan to support?" ”

Zhao Yong thought for a moment and replied: "The Chu State has become the overlord of the Great River, and it has the strength to challenge the Central Plains princes on the entire Great River, and it is also eyeing the Central Plains princes. The widows did not want to support Chu, nor did they want to support the princes of the Central Plains. But the widow hopes that the state of Chu can continue this aggressive momentum, and at the same time does not want the state of Chu to become stronger. ”

Fei Yi understood what Zhao Jun meant, and replied: "Your Majesty, if we promise the princes of the Central Plains to attack Chu, we will strengthen their determination to resist Chu. At the same time, he also agreed to the suggestion of the princes of the Central Plains to attack the north and south of the Chu State, which boosted the ambition of the King of Chu to win the Central Plains. ”

Tian Buli also said: "The melee between the princes of the Central Plains and the Chu State will consume the strength of both sides, which is a good thing for our country." ”

Li Dui said: "We might as well send an envoy to the Central Plains princes to express our country's intention to resist Chu, and at the same time directly obtain the attitude of the Central Plains princes." Send another envoy to the state of Chu secretly to convey our willingness to form an alliance. When the king of Chu heard this, he would launch a frantic attack on the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei. In this way, the Central Plains will be in chaos again. ”

"The more chaotic the Central Plains, the better it will be for our country. They have no time to interfere in our internal affairs. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, the widows sent troops to Zhongshan, opened up Hudi, and expanded the territory to strengthen the national strength. When the situation in the world changes, the widow can be proud of the princes and fight for the world. Zhao Yong looked at the loyal and reliable courtiers in the main hall, and began to arrange the candidates for the envoy princes, "Fu Ding." ”

"The minister is here."

"You are an envoy to the Wei State."

"Whoa."

"Zhao Jue."

"The minister is here."

"You are an envoy to the country of Qi."

"Whoa."

"Liquid."

"The minister is here."

"You're on a mission to South Korea."

"Whoa."

"Slow down."

"The minister is here."

"You are an envoy to the Qin State."

"Whoa."

"Wang Ben."

"The minister is here."

"You are an envoy to the state of Chu."

"Whoa."
