Chapter 275: The Third Central Plains War (Part II)

"King Chu, we'll see you on the battlefield." Qin Envoy put down this sentence and left the Chu Palace angrily.

Seeing that the Qin envoy was so rude, the kings and ministers of Chu State permeated the Chu palace with criticism, abuse, and condemnation. When the king of Chu saw that the Qin envoy was not ashamed, his anger surged, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he shouted: "The Qin people are so arrogant, what do you say." ”

Zhao Yu was the first to reply: "The Qin people are arrogant, we must use force to defeat them." ”

Xiong Biao also said: "The minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops, break through the Qin State, and set foot in Xianyang." ”

The king of Chu asked, "Tang Yu, Zhao Ju, Jing Cui, Jing Que, what do you mean?" ”

Tang Mo replied cleanly: "Minister, the main battle." ”

Zhao Ju replied, "Fight." ”

Jing Cui and Jing Que echoed: "Fight." ”

With the support of the Zhao family and the Jing family, and the support of Tang Wu and others. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was greatly confident, and raised his voice: "Okay." Let's teach the Qin people a good lesson. ”

Everyone said in unison: "Long live the king, long live the state of Chu." ”

When the king of Chu heard this, his heart suddenly swelled with pride and gave orders, "Jing Que, the widow ordered you to lead 80,000 troops to crusade against the Qin State." ”

Jing Que said: "Huh." ”

The king of Chu said again: "Tang Wu, the widow ordered you to lead 200,000 troops, and the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei took advantage of the situation to attack me." ”

Tang Yu said: "Huh." ”

King Chu said: "Zhaoju, you are responsible for the stability of Jiangdong County. ”

Zhao Ju said: "Huh." ”

King Chu said: "Jingcui, stationed in Danyang." ”

Jing Cui said: "Oh." ”

The King of Chu got up and walked a few steps forward, looked down at the ministers in the palace, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he raised his voice: "The Qin State is too arrogant, how can a widow endure it again and again." The old and new hatreds between us and the Qin State will be decided by a war. ”

Zhaoyu raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the king, long live the Chu State." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Long live the king, long live the state of Chu." ”

Qin envoy Huan hurried back to Xianyang and told everything that happened in the Chu Palace in detail. When the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State heard this, they were furious, and they all said that the Chu State was too deceitful.

Qin Wangji's expression was indifferent, he looked into Qin Envoy's eyes, and asked, "King Chu really said so. ”

When Qin envoy Huan saw that the king meant to suspect that he was spreading rumors and slandering the king of Chu, his chest rose and fell violently, and he swore an oath: "Minister, every sentence is true." If there is half a lie, let it be atonement with death. ”

Wei Ran said: "The prince of Chu first killed my country's doctor, and then he was arrogant and rude, and despised our country. The state of Chu is really too deceitful. The minister is willing to lead the army to attack the state of Chu and seek justice from the king of Chu. ”

"There is no one in the eyes of the king of Chu." Qi Rong also said: "The army of the Qin State will send troops to the Chu State." We must make the words and deeds of the king of Chu pay a heavy price. Your Majesty, the ministers are invited to fight. ”

Qin Chen said indignantly: "The ministers seconded it. ”

Seeing the sound of the war, Qin Wangji rose wave after wave, tried his best to suppress it, and asked calmly: "If Qin and Chu start a war, there will be a river of blood. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not what we want to see. ”

Wei Ran saw that Qin Wangji was retreating, and hurriedly said: "Even if the blood flows like a river, it is imperative to attack Chu. ”

Qi Rong echoed: "Chu State, deceive me too much. ”

Gongzi Fu also said: "The descendants of the Zhao family surnamed Ying, how can they be bullied by the Chu State." ”

Qin Wangji calmed down his anger, adjusted his mood, and asked, "We will marry with the Chu State first, and then form an alliance. Wouldn't it be treacherous for us to wage war against the state of Chu? The princes of the world will look at the Qin State and the widows. When the princes of the Central Plains learned that we were attacking Chu, wouldn't they laugh at us for being capricious. ”

When Gongzi Fu heard this, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and shot back: "Prince Chu killed my country's doctor first, and humiliated my country's prestige later." If we don't go to war against the state of Chu, the princes of the Central Plains will laugh at us for being cowardly. ”

Wei Ran answered: "The prince of Chu killed my country's doctor and fled from the Qin State without permission. This move has already flouted the national prestige of the Qin State. We didn't care about the actions of the prince of Chu, and sent envoys to the state of Chu to negotiate. The king of Chu not only did not give us a satisfactory answer, but spoke disrespectfully. The state of Chu has betrayed the alliance between Qin and Chu, so why should we talk to him about morality. Your Majesty, your ministers are willing to fight. ”

Qi Rong also said: "Minister, willing to fight." ”

Gongzi Fu also said: "Minister, willing to fight." ”

The Qin Palace was furious and asked for battle.

Although Qin Wangji did not want to start a war with the Chu State, the situation in the palace was not affected by him. He couldn't suppress it, and everyone asked for the voice of war. Suddenly, Qin Wangji felt that he was so lonely, and there was no minister to support him. If he refuses to conquer the Chu State, the Snow Country will be ashamed. The consequences are dire.

Faced with the minister's pressing step by step, Qin Wangji didn't have much time to think about it, so he had to accept the ministers' request to fight. However, Qin Wangji did not take Wei Ran, Mi Rong and other Chu courtiers as generals to conquer the Chu State. Qin Wangji also ignored everyone's opposition and took Shu Changhuan as his general, and led 100,000 troops to attack Chu.

Shu Changhuan sent a stomach to the state of Chu, and saw that the king handed over the task of attacking Chu to himself, and said: "Minister, live up to the king, live up to the Qin state." The minister will lead the Great Qin Ruishi to teach the Chu State a hard lesson. The minister demanded that the state of Chu pay a heavy price. ”

Qin Wangji nodded with satisfaction, showing a pleased gaze for his victory, "The task of attacking the Chu State will be handed over to you." ”

Wei Ran shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. ”

Qin Wangji looked at it lightly, and asked in a somewhat impatient tone, "What do you have to say?" ”

Wei Ran replied: "The princes of the Central Plains are afraid of the power of the Chu State, so it is better for us to unite the princes of the Central Plains and attack the Chu State together." Although the state of Chu is large, it cannot challenge the princes of the world. ”

"The widow will do as you say." Qin Wangji instructed: "The matter of uniting the princes of the Central Plains to attack the Chu State will be left to you." ”

Wei Ran commanded: "Huh." ”

Qin Wangji shouted: "Scatter the dynasty." ”

"Wait." Wei Ran said in a loud voice: "Please ask the king to issue a date for the attack on the Chu State." ”

Seeing that Wei Ran had repeatedly challenged his authority, Qin Wangji said with a slightly angry expression: "Three days later, send troops to attack Chu." ”

Wei Ran saluted and said, "Congratulations to the king." ”

Qin Chen said in unison: "Congratulations to the king." ”

After Qin Wangji left, Qi Rong came over and said in a low voice: "Brother Wei, why are you doing this. The king promised to attack the state of Chu, why are you in a hurry to let the king set a date for attacking Chu. Isn't that redundant for you to do so? ”

"The king's temperament is indecisive. There was no King Hui and King Wu to kill decisively. Wei Ran raised his hand and said as he walked forward: "If I don't let the king order the date of the attack on the Chu State. How can we attack Chu Xue shame? ”

"What you mean, I see. But the king did not understand. If you force the king to make a decision in front of the minister of civil and military affairs, the king will definitely hold back the fire in his heart. You will not be afraid to offend the king. ”

"It's a matter of national affairs, how can I back down." Wei Ran looked at the ministers who were gradually leaving, "Even if the king is unhappy and wants to punish me." As long as I can conquer the Chu State, I will admit it. ”

Qi Rong sighed and said, "Brother Wei, why didn't the king send you and me to attack the Chu State." ”

Wei Ran glanced at the other party, didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "I don't answer this question, you should also understand!" ”

Qi Rong took a breath of cold air, and his tone trembled, "You mean to say... No way. We are one family, king, how can we..."

"The man we knew was gone!" Wei Ran sighed: "He is the king, and we are the ministers." We can't give what he wants, and he won't give what we want. ”

Qi Rong nodded and said with a wry smile: "What Brother Wei said is right. The young man who called us uncle has become the king. He will never talk to us again. In his eyes, we are just courtiers. I finally understood that he would rather be a general than let us lead the troops to attack Chu. We think we're all in this together. In his eyes, we are nothing more than courtiers of the Lord. ”

"Rights are a terrible thing. It can change a person's mind and heart. Forget it, let's not talk about that. Even the boy who called us uncle drifted away. But the brotherhood between you and me will never change. Wei Ran said goodbye: "The state of Chu is powerful, and if we want to win, we must unite the princes." The war was imminent, and I immediately set off for the Central Plains, and it was said that the princes would attack Chu. ”

Qi Rong asked, "Brother Wei, the princes are fighting Chu." Wouldn't it be that there will be a third Central Plains War? ”

"The third Central Plains War is inevitable." Wei Ran took a deep breath, "If the world is going to be chaotic, it will be even more chaotic." After I leave, the safety of Xianyang will be entrusted to you. ”

"Brother Wei, don't worry, let's go!" Qi Rong patted his chest and said: "Xianyang has me and Fu'er, as well as my sister." The world of Qin will not be chaotic. ”

It is an indisputable fact that compared with the state of Qin and the state of Chu, Chu is strong and Qin is weak. If the Qin State wants to defeat the Chu State, it will be unable to do without the help of the Central Plains princes. So, Wei Ran sent envoys to Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qi, and some said that the princes attacked the state of Chu.

......

Tian Bibi, the king of Qi, learned that Qin and Chu had a bad relationship between Qin and Chu because of the prince of Chu.

Tian Bibi was overjoyed and said: "Qin and Chu are evil, this is God to help me." Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best opportunity that God has given us to attack the Chu State. This time, we can't miss it. ”

Tian He hurriedly said: "The king plans to start a war with the Chu State again. ”

"Not bad." Tian Bibi coughed twice, stabilized his mood and said: "We have attacked the Chu State twice, and although we have achieved military achievements, we have not expanded the results. In this attack on Chu, we will defeat the Chu army in one battle and completely remove the threat of Chu to us. ”

"Your Majesty, we are attacking the state of Chu, what should the princes do if they interfere with us."

"Who can interfere with our attack."

"Han and Wei are standing on the same line with us, so naturally they will not interfere with our attack on Chu. On the contrary, Han and Wei will support us and fight Chu together. Today, the state of Qin and the state of Chu are at odds. The state of Qin attacked Chu, but would not help Chu. The only princes who can interfere with our attack on Chu are Zhao State. Tian He replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the Zhao State will send troops to interfere with us. ”

"The four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei attacked Chu. Zhao Guo's assistance to Chu is equivalent to offending the princes of the world. Tian Bibi smiled and said: "Zhao Jun is not a foolish person, how could he make a stupid decree." ”

"Our war with the State of Chu will inevitably lead to the Third Central Plains War. Your Majesty, do you really want to rekindle the flames of war? ”

"In the first Central Plains War, the widows did not catch up. In the Second Central Plains War, we were defeated by the princes. In the Third Central Plains War, the widows wanted to recover what the Qi State had lost. Tian Biqi coughed violently, waited until his breath was stable, and said word by word: "The time of the widow is short." Before leaving, he was able to experience the third war, lead the Daqi Athletic Division, and create brilliance. There are no regrets about widowhood. ”

Tian He worried: "We attacked the state of Chu, and the war came to a stalemate. Zhao sent troops to attack Zhongshan, what should I do? ”

"Zhao Guo does not pose any threat to us. Zhao State could not challenge Qi State's position as the number one power in the East. If Zhao wants to conquer Zhongshan, it is not so easy. Tian Bibi coughed a few times and said in a calm tone: "The State of Chu can not only challenge our country, but also challenge the princes of the world. We took the opportunity of this great war to defeat the state of Chu in a war. Within a few years, the State of Chu did not dare to go north to invade our Qi State, let alone challenge our country's hegemonic status. ”

Tian He nodded and said, "What the king said is very true. ”

Tian Biqi said sharply: "Send the order to go down and start a war with the Chu State." Before dying, the widow led the competitive division of Daqi to inflict heavy damage on the Chu army. The widow wants to make the Qi state stand above the princes. ”

........

Fei Yi hurriedly came to Congtai Palace, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Qin and Chu have started a war. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Qin and Chu first married, and then formed an alliance, and not long ago the prince of Chu entered Qin as a hostage. Qin sent troops to attack Han and Wei to relieve the siege of Chu. How did Qin and Chu go to war. ”

Fei Yi said in a steady tone: "Prince Chu killed Doctor Qin and fled from the Qin State. The state of Qin sent an envoy to the state of Chu to ask for an explanation. The king of Chu was unreasonable and humiliated the Qin envoy. The state of Qin was furious and sent troops to the state of Chu. ”

"I see." Zhao Yong asked, "Qin and Chu are at war. What is the movement of the princes of the Central Plains? ”

"Qi united with Han and Wei to attack Chu for the third time. The power of Chu was a country, and it fought against the four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei. The Third Central Plains War broke out. Fei Yi asked, "The minister estimates that this battle will last for a long time. Your Majesty, what should we do. ”

Zhao Yong spit out eight words, "Ignore it and attack Zhongshan." ”
