If the state of Qi does not call on the princes to attack Qin, the state of Qin will unite the princes to attack Qi. There is bound to be a war between Qi and Qin.

Cutting down Qin is not only a shame for the snow and water of the Qi country, but also a regret left by King Xuan of Qi. It is also the best opportunity for Qi to re-establish the hegemony of the East. It is also the beginning of the establishment of the princes of the Qi State and the establishment of the hegemony of Wang Tu.

As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The state of Qin imprisoned the king of Chu and discredited the princes. The state of Qi called on the princes to jointly attack Qin, and the princes of the world would not gather to respond. The state of Qi first defeated Chu, and then broke Qin. The affairs of the world will be the final say of Qi Guo.

However, although Han and Wei agreed to join forces to attack Qin. The Yan State was weak and refused to cooperate. Zhao Guo took an ambiguous attitude on the grounds that the border trouble in northern Xinjiang was undecided. The state of Chu became the object of the state of Qi.

The king of Qi sent the crown prince back to Chu, which could not only improve the relationship with the state of Chu, but also show favor to the prince of Chu. When the prince of Chu returns to the country, he will definitely be grateful for the grace of the king of Qi and make friends with Qi.

When the prince of Chu returned to the country, the people of Chu were settled. The humiliation inflicted by the Qin State on the Chu State, how could the Chu people not repay it. Qin was not an opponent of Qi, plus the three kingdoms of Chu, Han, and Wei joined. Breaking Qin is just around the corner.

King Qi is not a foolish person, so he naturally understands the power of it. Calling on the princes to cut down Qin and re-establish the hegemony of Qi is the mission of this generation of Qi. The king of Qi groaned a little, adopted the strategy of Qi Xiangtian Wen and Da Sima Tianhe, and released the prince of Chu to return to the country.

It is said that Qi, Han, and Wei jointly attacked Chu for the second time, and Chu in order to reduce the military pressure from the princes. The king of Chu humiliated the prince and sent the crown prince to the state of Qin as a hostage.

The Qin people reneged on the alliance between the two countries on the grounds that the crown prince had murdered the Qin doctor, and called on the princes to attack Chu. As a result, Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei fought against the state of Chu. The state of Chu suffered a crushing defeat with one against four, and its national strength was greatly damaged.

Qi, Han, and Wei Chuisha defeated Chu and killed the Chu general Tang Yu. Qin took advantage of the fire to rob, Chongqiu defeated Jing Cui, and then killed the Chu general Jing Que, and then killed 50,000 soldiers of Chu and captured five cities of Chu.

Chu's internal worries continued, and the territory was fragmented. External troubles followed. In order to break the deadlock, the king of Chu divided the alliance of the four countries, and sent the prince of Chu to the state of Qi.

The State of Qi defeated the invincible State of Chu, and did not treat the hostage of the Prince of Chu with kindness. Although the prince of Chu is the future king of the Chu State, he has not had a good time in the Qi State at all. Defeated and sent to another country as a hostage, how miserable his life was.

The prince of Chu went to the State of Qi for the sake of the State of Chu as a hostage, and he once fantasized that the State of Chu would not abandon him. One day, the Chu Kingdom came to pick him up and return to China. The greater the hope of Prince Chu, the greater the disappointment. After several disappointments, Prince Chu had no hope of returning to the country.

When Prince Chu saw Qu Yuan, he felt very cordial. The grievances he suffered in the Qi country were like rivers flooding, pouring for thousands of miles. Prince Chu couldn't control his emotions and cried bitterly: "Zuo Situ, I'm so bitter waiting for you. ”

Qu Yuan saw that the high-ranking prince of Chu, where he lived, was so miserable, and he sighed for a while, "Minister, let the prince suffer in the Qi country." ”

"Zuo Situ came to Qi to do something." The Prince of Chu stopped crying and asked, "Is it on the orders of my father to welcome me back to the country?" ”

Qu Yuan nodded and replied, "I came to Qi Country to welcome you back." ”

This news came a little suddenly, and it caught Prince Chu off guard. Prince Chu didn't believe that his father would let him return to the country, and asked, "Zuo Situ welcomes me back to the country." I'm not dreaming! ”

Qu Yuan said: "Prince, this is not a dream. I came to Qi to welcome you home. The prince was in the country of Qi and was wronged. ”

"As long as I can return to China, what do I have to be wronged." The prince of Chu cried with joy, "I can finally return to the Chu country." ”

Qu Yuan saw that the living conditions of the prince of Chu were not good, and his words and deeds at the moment, presumably during this time, the prince of Chu suffered a lot of sins in the Qi country.

Prince Chu wiped away his tears and asked, "Let me return to the country, is this what my father meant?" ”

"It's not the king's will, it's the ministers' will."

"I knew it." Prince Chu was disheartened, and his eyes were full of hatred, "Father sent me to Qin as a hostage first, and then sent me to Qi as a hostage." My father hates me so much, how can he let me go home? Zuo Situ, no father nodded. How can I return to my country? The state of Chu that I miss in my heart is just a dream. But I took this dream seriously. Ridiculous! It's ridiculous. ”

"Sending the prince into Qi, the king is also helpless." Qu Yuan said in a soft tone: "Your Majesty, how can you hate the prince." ”

"The state of Chu is a great country, with the widest territory and the largest number of soldiers, which the princes are incomparable. More than ten years ago, the state of Chu fought against Qin, Han, Wei, Yue and Qin's subordinate Tho Bashu with the strength of one country, without falling behind. The princes were enemies of the Chu State, and they were seeking their own death. Not only was the State of Qi jealous of the State of Chu, but even the Three Jin Dynasty did not dare to despise the State of Chu. He is the king of Chu, how can he be helpless. Prince Chu said coldly: "Zuo Situ doesn't need to comfort me. What kind of man my father was, I don't know. ”

Recalling the past, Qu Yuan was also full of sadness.

More than ten years ago, the state of Chu fought against Qin, Han, Wei, Yue and Qin's subordinate Tho Bashu, and fought on all sides without losing the wind. A few years later, Chu not only quickly regained its national strength, but also helped Han defend against Qin. The state of Chu helped Qin to attack Han, but also to make Qin a common enemy of all princes in the world.

After a few more years, the three former overlords of Qi, Chu, and Yue started a melee. The state of Chu not only won a complete victory, but also destroyed the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, inherited the Yue State for thousands of years, and expanded the land for thousands of miles.

The state of Chu has become a super giant on the river, who can do it. The Chu people's dream of a great country and a strong country has gradually recovered. The move of destroying Yue also greatly increased Chu's heart. The king of Chu wanted to drink the horse and the Yellow River and dominate the world. Uniting the Zhao State and attacking the princes of the Central Plains from the north and south, it has become a hegemony.

However, in just a few years, Qi, Han, and Wei attacked the Chu State.

The state of Chu went from being a big country and a powerful country to declining. The state of Chu was first defeated by the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei at the top of the sand, and the elite of the Shenxi army who could fight well was lost. Tang Wu, the famous general of the powerful Chu State, was killed in battle, and some of his subordinates rebelled and raised troops against the king of Chu; Some led their subordinates to flee from the state of Chu; The state of Chu in Nuoda was torn apart.

The tribulations of the state of Chu followed. The state of Chu and the state of Qin fought three times, and the state of Chu was defeated. The dream of a great country and a strong country of Chu is heading for destruction.

Qu Yuan also often wondered why the State of Chu had ended up in such a position today. The king was imprisoned, and the crown prince fell into Qi. The dragons of Chu have no leader, and they are in danger of losing the country.

Qu Yuan didn't know how to answer Prince Chu's question, but seeing the hatred in Prince Chu's eyes, he persuaded: "The prince will understand one day." The king loves you. ”

"Love me?" Prince Chu shook his shoulders and smiled hideously and terrifyingly. These words were the biggest jokes he had ever heard.

Qu Yuan didn't want to hide it from him, and said directly: "The king was imprisoned by the Qin State, and the Chu State was leaderless. ”

"What did Zuo Situ say?" The prince of Chu was stunned, and suddenly his hatred for the king of Chu was a little less, "My father was imprisoned by the Qin State. ”

"The king is imprisoned in Qin, this is a national shame!" Qu Yuan's eyes erupted with thick flames, "Don't attack Qin Xue's shame, welcome back the king." Not worthy of a husband? ”

The prince of Chu felt Qu Yuan's anger and asked: "What Zuo Situ means is that the ministers welcome me back to the country, preside over the state affairs as the crown prince, stabilize the morale of the army, attack Qin Xuesha, and welcome the king." ”

"The king is deeply trapped in the Qin State, and I consult with the courtiers. Welcome the prince back to the country and preside over the government. Qu Yuan's anger could not be extinguished, and he gritted his teeth and said: "When the prince returns to the country, he will definitely attack Qin Xuesha." Since the founding of the Chu State, except for Ying, it has been broken by the Wu people. He had suffered such a great humiliation. The state of Qin repeatedly bullied the state of Chu, and this revenge must be avenged. ”

"If I can return, I will live up to Zuo Situ." Prince Chu asked: "I returned to China to preside over the government, and the ministers disobeyed, and many brothers dissatisfied, what should I do?" ”

"I welcome the crown prince back to succeed him as the new king. Who dares to disobey him? ”

"What did Zuo Situ say?" Prince Chu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "I am the new king." ”

"Not bad. The crown prince is the new king of Chu, so that he can unite people's hearts, go to the national disaster together, and attack Qin Xue's shame. ”

"My father is alive, how dare I rebel and become the new king."

"The king is deeply trapped in the Qin State, how can he return. If the crown prince does not succeed to the throne, the state of Chu will be subject to Qin. Qu Yuan said: "In the name of the king, the Qin State wants to coerce the generals and cut the city to offer the pass. The great foundation of the Chu State will not be ruined in one fell swoop. ”

"If my father is safe, how can I be king."

"Only when the crown prince is the king can the people be united. Only then will our country not be subject to Qin. Only then can we keep thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Chu State. Qu Yuan's eyes were bright, and his tone was firm: "Once, we will reorganize the rivers and mountains, attack Qin Xuesha, and avenge the revenge of the Qin people." ”

"If the father returns, what should he do?"

"If the king returns, I will bear all the blame for all my sins. Even if I have been infamous for infidelity and injustice through the ages, I have nothing to fear. ”

"Zuo Situ is for the Chu State. At the cost of infamy. The prince of Chu stabilized his mind and said: "If I return to Chu and succeed to the throne, I will never lose Zuo Situ." ”

"There is the word "prince." Qu Yuan sighed: "Although I die, I have no regrets. ”

Prince Chu was grateful and said: "I can return to the country, all because of Zuo Situ's work." In this life, I will not fail the grace of Zuo Situ. ”

Qu Yuan hurriedly said: "The prince regained the mountains and rivers of Chu State, gathered the hearts of the people, attacked Qin Xuesha, and welcomed the first king." It is determined that the prestige of the Chu State will be famous among the princes. ”

"Zuo Situ, will I become a qualified monarch?"

"The prince is open-minded and not stubborn. With the joint efforts of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, the rivers and mountains will be reorganized. ”

"Zuo Situ, please accept my worship."

"Prince, please get up." Qu Yuan said again: "Whether the prince can return to the country depends on whether King Qi will agree." ”

When the prince of Chu heard this, his mood fell to the bottom, "What if the king of Qi doesn't let me return to the country." ”

"Don't worry, prince. Since I am here, I will welcome you back. Seeing that the prince's face had improved, Qu Yuan continued: "The Qi Kingdom will not let the prince return to the country, and I will not return to Chu." The state of Chu will definitely devote its strength to fight against the state of Qi. Even if the State of Chu cannot win the State of Qi, it must let the blood of the State of Qi flow like a river. ”

"Force does not solve anything. Zuo Situ has always had a good strategy, but there are other countermeasures. "Prince Chu has seen the methods of the Qi State, and he also knows the military strength of the Qi State. Once Qi and Chu go to war, they really can't return to the country.

"The king and the crown prince are deeply trapped in the princes, and Chu is in trouble at home and abroad, so naturally they can't start a war with the Qi State." Qu Yuan said again: "The State of Qi is calling on the princes to attack Qin. This is the weakness of the Qi State. ”

"I don't understand what Zuo Situ said." Prince Chu asked, "The State of Qi is a big country, and its military strength is stronger than ours. How can you be afraid? ”

"If the Qi State wants to destroy Qin, it can't have any worries." Qu Yuan said attentively: "The revenge of Qi Death Yan, King Yan is a man with ambitions, how can he not repay it." The three Jin are aligned, and the attitude is ambiguous. Qi and Qin declared war and were determined to be the winner. The king of Qi did not let the prince return to the country. We joined Qin and Yan and united the Three Jin Dynasty to fight Qi. The focus of the Qi State was to call on the princes to attack Qin, and they did not dare to offend the Chu State. ”

Prince Chu said happily: "According to Zuo Situ's words, we are expected to return to the country. ”

"The state of Qin imprisoned the king and discredited the princes. When the State of Qi imprisons the crown prince, it will also distrust the princes. The state of Qi prides itself on being a big state, and the etiquette is edified. How dare you deceive Chu and distrust the princes. Qu Yuan paused, and then said: "The dishonest princes of the Qin State gave the Qi State the opportunity to call on the princes to attack Qin. The state of Qi first defeated Chu, and then broke Qin, and its prestige was greatly enhanced, and no one could match. Qi will not lose a big one because of a small one. I took a tough stance in the Qi Palace and made an oath that Qi would not let the prince return to the country. Qi and Chu will definitely go to war. ”

Prince Chu showed a look of fear and asked, "Zuo Situ intimidated the Qi people with a tough force. Zuo Situ is not afraid of angering Qi people. ”

"If I am weak, all men will deceive each other." Qu Yuan was arrogant and said: "Even if you die, you can't insult the national dignity, let alone the body of a man." ”

"My net worth and life will be handed over to Zuo Situ." Prince Chu was also touched by Qu Yuan's heroic words, and the fear of Qi people in his heart swept away, bowed down and said: "If I can return, I will live up to the king." ”
