Zhao Yong was discussing the war of Yan with the civil and military ministers in Congtai Palace. Suddenly, Fei Yi entered the temple in a hurry. Zhao Yong hurriedly asked, "Da Sima, has something happened to Yan Guo?" ”

"Your Majesty, something happened in South Korea." Fei Yi replied: "In the battle of Kiamun, South Korea was beheaded by 10,000 people, and South Korea was defeated. ”

Li Dui asked: "With the help of the Chu State, how could Korea be defeated so quickly." ”

Fei Yi said: "The state of Chu did not send troops to rescue Korea at all. ”

"South Korea is defeated." A person popped up in Zhao Yong's mind, "The rhino head is here." ”

Fei Yi said: "After the battle of Kiamun, the rhino head left Korea. Where the rhino head went, no one knows. ”

"The battle of Guanze was defeated by Qi, Xiuyu was defeated by Qin, and Anmen was defeated by Qin. Defeat in all three battles dealt a blow to the ambition of the rhinoceros. After the shore gate, there were no more rhino heads. Zhao Yong sighed: "It's a pity! What a pity! ”

Tian Buli nodded and agreed: "The rhino head has been in the princes and countries for more than 30 years, and he is a generation of influential figures. The rhinoceros is enough to overwhelm the country. What a pity! The hero is not old, and his mind is declining. ”

Li Dui said: "If you are angry, the princes are afraid, and the world will rest." The rhinoceros is the husband. ”

"Your Majesty, the rhinoceros is gone. The world is about to rise, and we should also plan early. Fei Yi said: "The rhino head said a word before leaving. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "What did the rhino head say?" ”

Fei Yi replied: "Qin Chu started a war, and the world was in chaos. ”

Zhao Yong questioned: "The Qin State and the Chu State are at war? ”

Tian Buli said: "The Qin State has won the land of the Three Kingdoms of Tho Shuba, which threatens the interests of the Chu State. Between Qin and Chu, sooner or later there will be a battle. ”

"The country of Chu is huge, and no country among the princes can compare. The national strength of the Qin State is not enough to shake the status of the Chu State. Li Dui said: "The minister thinks that in a short time, the Qin State and the Chu State will not go to war. ”

"The Qin State promised to save Yan, but did not send soldiers to save Yan." Fei Yi said: "This is a signal released by the Qin State to the outside world. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "What signal?" ”

"There will be a big move in the Qin State." Fei Yi continued: "The Qin State attacked Korea, firstly, to divide Han Chu, and secondly, to drive away Gongsun Yan. The ultimate purpose of the Qin State was to get a glimpse of Chu. The minister concluded that in one year at most, or half a year at least, there would be a big war between Qin and Chu that would affect the fortunes of the country. ”

"The minister also agrees with Da Sima's point of view." Tian Buli said: "The Qin State attacked Korea, and the separation of Han and Chu was the first step; Driving away Gongsun Yan is the second step. The Qin State will have a third step, a fourth step. The ultimate goal of the Qin State was to start a war with the Chu State. ”

"Not bad." Li Dui also said: "If the rhino head is there, the Qin State will not dare to fight with the Chu State with confidence." A few years ago, Zhang Yi was Wei Xiang. The Qin State borrowed Han Wei to attack Qi, and Han Wei counterattacked, and the Qin State was defeated. King Qin and Zhang Yi were very jealous of rhino heads. Now, the Qin State has defeated Korea, which not only separates the Han-Chu alliance, but also drives out the rhino head. The next step for the Qin State is to divide the Qi-Chu Alliance. ”

"Qin Chu started a war, and the world was in chaos." Zhao Yong pondered these eight words carefully, "Everyone, we must also be prepared to deal with the turbulent situation in the world. ”

......

After Han Wangkang learned the news of the Battle of Anmen and Gongsun Yan's departure from Korea, the whole person fell silent.

Han Xiang said: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Yan left Korea in exchange for peace between Qin and Han. We can't live up to his wishes. ”

Han Wangkang's eyes were sad, "The rhino head has never borne the widow, it is the widow who has borne him." ”

Han Xiang comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be overly sad. The state of Chu deceived me, and we want to take revenge for this. ”

Han Wangkang stared at Han Xiang and asked, "The state of Chu is strong, and Korea is weak. Does the widow have this chance to take revenge? ”

"There will be a war between the Qin State and the Chu State. If we join Qin to attack Chu, we will be able to wash away the shame of Chu deceiving me. ”

"Okay." Han Wangkang's eyes showed unshakable determination, "The shame imposed by the king of Chu on the widow will be repaid in the future." ”

......

King Qin set up a banquet in Xianyang Palace to reward the victory.

"We attacked South Korea, not only dividing Han Chu, but also driving out the rhino head. In this battle, we have reaped abundantly. Qin Wangsi put down the wine bottle and faced everyone: "It's time for us to do something to the Chu State." ”

Win said: "Your Majesty, the country of Chu is vast and has many soldiers. Should the attack on Chu be let go? ”

"Win the disease, you are good for everything. There is one thing that the widow does not like. Qin Wangsi said: "You are too cautious. ”

As soon as Ying Ji was about to speak, he was stopped by Qin Wangsi, "Ten years ago, a widow was called the king. You say, "The widow is king for the sake of fame, and he will be attacked by the princes." However, the widow not only claimed the king, but also made Daqin famous all over the world. Today, the widow swept the righteous canal in the north and shocked Xirong; broke the trend of the five countries in the east, and repeatedly defeated three Jin; In the south, it takes thousands of miles of land from the three kingdoms of Tho, Shu and Ba. If the widows want to connect the land of Tho, Ba, and Shu with the Qin State, we must do something against the Chu State. ”

Win said: "Your Majesty, are we too risky to do it to the Chu State. ”

"It is an adventure for a widow to cut off Gongsun Martingale in half. It is an adventure to be the king of the outnumbered. It was an adventure for the widow to attack the state of Qi through Han Wei. Han Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Yan soldiers came to Hangu Valley, and it was an adventure for the outnumbered soldiers to resist. It is an adventure for the widow and the three Jin to go to war. It is an adventure to let Sima make a mistake and take the land of Tho, Shu and Ba in the south. The widow's decision to make a move against the state of Chu was also a risk. Qin Wangsi slowly picked up a glass of wine bottle and put it to his lips, "A widow has taken many risks in his life." ”

"The Three Jin Dynasty can no longer threaten the Qin State." King Qin Si drank the wine in the cup and continued: "The state of Chu is powerful and threatens the state of Qin. In his lifetime, the widow must suppress the momentum of the Chu State. Chu State, you have to fight. Winning the disease, the ideals and ambitions in the hearts of the widows, others do not understand. How can you not understand? ”

Ying Jian didn't dare to look at the look that Qin Wangsi projected. The state of Qin obtained the land of Tho, Shu and Ba. The states of Qin and Chu have already gone to war. The state of Qin did not take the initiative to wage war against the state of Chu. The state of Chu will also act against the state of Qin. If you wait until the state of Chu comes to its senses, the united princes intervene in the state of Qin to annex the land of the three kingdoms of Tho, Shu and Ba. The Qin State was not fighting against the Chu State, but the princes of the world. Today, the four kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Zhongshan are fighting in Yandi. After the two battles of Xiuyu and Guanze, the heir of the king of Wei was depressed, and the Wei State did not move. South Korea had just been suppressed by the Qin state. At this time, it was already the best time for the Qin State to make a move against the Chu State.

Qin Wangsi said: "Zhang Xiang, it's time for you to make a move." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. ”

Qin Wang Si said: "The widow wants to make a move against the Chu State, and the Qi-Chu Alliance is a threat to our country." Zhang Xiang was a little sure of the discord. ”

Zhang Yi replied confidently: "The rhino head is in Han, and I am not sure." The rhino head is not in Korea, I am 100% sure. ”

"With your words, the widow will be relieved."

Ying Ji asked, "How does Zhang Xiang plan to separate Qi Chu." ”

"The king of Chu is so happy and greedy." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Let's first confuse with treasures, and then allow merchants to bribe the king of Chu." The king of Chu will definitely cut off contact with the state of Qi. ”

Qin Wangsi said: "When will Zhang Xiang leave for Chu State?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will leave for Chu tomorrow."

"This glass of wine should be a widow to see you off. Zhang Yi returned from the envoy of Chu, and the widow drank with you again. Qin Wangsi picked up the wine bottle, "Zhang Xiang, please." ”

"Your Majesty, please."

The next day, the morning sun was rising. Zhang Yi carried the treasures and the ardent expectations of the Qin Wangsi to the state of Chu.

Shangyu is the name of the Qin-Chu border. Starting with Qinling 'Shang' and ending with Wuguan 'Yu', there are fifteen yi. The homeland of the Qin State was originally the Weihe Plain north of the Qinling Mountains, and Shang Yu was located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. The land of Shang Yu originally belonged to the state of Chu. The Qin State occupied Shang Yu, and the Qin and Chu sides also fought for Shang Yu many times, ending in Qin's victory and Chu's defeat. After the Qin State occupied Shangyu, they built a pass on the border of Qin and Chu... Wuguan.

Zhang Yi and others went out of Wuguan and came to the Yingdu of Chu State.

Zhaoyang saw Zhang Yi in the palace and asked, "Zhang Yi, you still have the face to come to Chu State." ”

"What did Ling Yin say, why did Zhang Yi come to Chu without the face." Zhang Yi sneered: "Zhang Yi once accompanied Ling Yin to drink, and Ling Yin said that I stole jade and beat me severely. Ling Yin, you have to protect your country well, and I will steal your city. ”

"Presumptuous." Zhaoyang said angrily: "Zhang Yi, this is the State of Chu, not the State of Qin. ”

"The presumptuous one is you." Zhang Yi said stiffly: "I am the minister of Qin, and I am the envoy of Chu instead of the king of Qin." Ordering Yin to punish me is equivalent to slapping Qin Guo in the face. Qin and Chu go to war, and you are the sinner of the two countries. ”

"The two, for the sake of the widow, each took a step back. Above the court, what kind of noisy and noisy things have become? The king of Chu asked: "Zhang Yi, you didn't come to Chu to enjoy the mountains and rivers!" ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Zhang Yi, on the order of the King of Qin, I came to the Chu State to conclude an alliance. ”

"The state of Qin wants to conclude an alliance with the widows." The King of Chu smiled and said, "Zhang Yi, the widow heard it right. ”

"The king of Chu didn't hear it wrong, and Zhang Yi didn't say it wrong. The King of Qin has ordered me to send an envoy to your country and conclude an alliance. Qin Chuyong became a country of brothers. ”

"The State of Qin wants to form a brotherly country with the State of Chu." King Chu spread out his hands, "The widow didn't see the sincerity of the Qin State. ”

"King Chu, this is the sincerity of the Qin State." Zhang Yi opened the four large boxes behind him in front of the King of Chu.

"The country of Chu is vast and rich, and the treasures are inexhaustible." Zhaoyang asked, "Zhang Yi, are you bringing these things to the Han Chu Kingdom?" ”

"The treasures of the Qin State are less than one thousandth of the Chu State." Zhang Yi said humbly: "If the Qin State wants to conclude an alliance with the Chu State, it is natural to show sincerity. ”

Qu Yuan said coldly: "Qin Guo's intentions won't be so simple! ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Yan Qin is a country of brothers. Yan Wangzhi is also the nephew of my king. ”

"Zhang Yi, you said so much." Qu Yuan picked up a treasure and asked, "What do you want to express?" ”

Zhang Yi replied calmly: "Save Yan and attack Qi." ”

Qu Yuan threw away the treasure in his hand and laughed: "The State of Chu and the State of Qi are allies. The Qin State rescued Yan and attacked Qi, and it was not so easy for the Chu State to sit idly by. ”

Zhang Yi said: "King of Chu, these treasures are a welcome gift for the Qin State. ”

The king of Chu asked, "Zhang Yi, do you mean that the Qin State still has treasures for the widows. ”

Zhang Yi said: "The State of Qin gave the land of Shang Yu to the State of Chu. ”

"Zhang Yi, don't talk nonsense." Qu Yuan was furious and said: "The land of Shang Yu was originally the land of Chu State, how can I give it away." ”

"Zuo Situ, you said that the land of Shang Yu belongs to the Chu State." Zhang Yi sneered: "How could Shang Yu become Shang Jun's fief. ”

Qu Yuan shouted: "Shang is so you Qin State grabbed it. ”

"Oh. Qin State snatched it. Zhang Yi asked, "Does Zuo Situ plan to snatch it back?" ”

Qu Yuan said: "The state of Chu has recovered the lost territory, how can it be robbed." ”

"Zuo Situ, you can't be noisy. When this matter spread, the princes would say that there were no rules in the Chu State. The king of Chu asked: "Zhang Yi, the Qin State attacked the Qi State, and the widows did not help." The state of Qin will return the land of Shang to the state of Chu. ”

"Exactly."

The King of Chu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay." The widow is willing to make friends with the Qin State. ”

"Your Majesty, this is the bait cast by the Qin State in order to divide Qi Chu." Zhaoyang said: "We can't be fooled. ”

Zhang Yi lowered his posture and said humbly: "The country of Chu is vast and rich, and there are many generals. It's too late for the Qin State to get married, how dare you deceive the King of Chu. ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he said happily: "Zhang Yi, you go back and tell the king of Qin." The state of Qin attacked the state of Qi, and the state of Chu turned a blind eye. ”

"No." Qu Yuan said: "In the land of business, we must take it back with our fists." ”

"That's enough." The king of Chu scolded: "The widow has made up his mind, so there is no need to say it again." ”

Qu Yuan said angrily: "Your Majesty, we can't agree to the request of the Qin State and break off diplomatic relations with the Qi State. ”

"Qu Yuan. The widow has put up with you for a long time. The king of Chu said angrily: "Come and drive Qu Yuan out of the widow." ”

Two soldiers walked in.

"I'll go by myself." Qu Yuan glared at Zhang Yi and shouted wildly: "Your Majesty, let's wait for the Qin State to come over!" ”

Seeing that the King of Chu was deceived, Zhang Yi showed a fleeting smile, "Please send a general from the King of Chu to follow me to the Qin State to hand over the matter of business." ”

"Jing Cui." The king of Chu said: "You go to the Qin State. ”

Jing Cui followed Zhang Yi to the Qin State. After half a month, Qin Wangsi didn't summon him, which was very bad for Jingcui. Jingcui sent someone to the Qin Palace to inquire about the news, only to learn. Zhang Yi returned to the Qin State, but his foot was injured and he could not go to court. Jing Cui knew that this was a conspiracy by Zhang Yi, but he couldn't do anything about it. had to ask someone to bring the news back and tell the king of Chu.

The king of Chu believed that the Qin state refused to hand over Shang Yu to the Chu state because it did not break off diplomatic relations with the Qi state. In order to obtain the land of commerce, the king of Chu sent an envoy to the state of Qi to sever diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Zhaoyang told Qu Yuan about the actions of the king of Chu.

Qu Yuan asked, "Ling Yin, why don't you stop the king." ”

"Who can change the king's will."

"It will take at least three months to go back and forth from the land of Qi, Chu and Qin." Qu Yuan was shocked and said, "It's not good. ”

Zhaoyang was taken aback by Qu Yuan and asked, "What's wrong with Zuo Situ." ”

Qu Yuan said: "Zhang Yi's move, one is to paralyze us, so that we can be negligent. The second is to stall for time. Its purpose is to prepare the army for war. ”

"Shall we go into the palace and meet the king?"

Qu Yuan said: "The envoy of my country has gone to Qi to break off diplomatic relations with him. The king will not listen to what we say. ”

"We don't do anything."

Qu Yuan let out a sigh, "Prepare for war with the Qin State." ”
