Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, relied on the vast territory of Chu, with thousands of generals and millions of armorers. The princes of the Central Plains have never been put in their eyes. The king of Chu is confident and conceited, and the princes of the world dare not bully Chu, let alone attack Chu. Zhang Yi took advantage of the arrogant heart of the king of Chu to deceive the king of Chu and divide the Qi-Chu alliance with the land of business. The king of Chu had long had a plan to suppress the Qin state. Zhang Yi deceived Chu for the first time, which became an excuse for Chu to attack Qin. In the Battle of Danyang, the Qin State killed 80,000 Chu troops, shaking the Chu government and the opposition. The king of Chu also couldn't believe that the Xirong Qin State, which had been despised by the princes of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, would have such a powerful combat power.

The battle of Danyang was defeated. The king of Chu also took this opportunity to deprive the Qu clan of their status in the state of Chu. Although the king of Chu took away the title and land of the Qu family, the defeat of the state of Chu by the state of Qin was a national shame after all. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, will not only be despised by the princes of the Central Plains if he does not attack the Qin State. The state of Chu will also face the danger of being united by the princes of the Central Plains to divide up the territory. Once, the people of Chu were dissatisfied, and there was a large-scale restlessness. His throne will also be unstable. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, for the sake of the Chu State, in order to appease the people of the Chu State, and for his own throne. Attack the state of Chu with the troops of the state of Xi.

Qin, Han, Wei, Yue, and Qin's territories of Bashu Tho formed a military alliance against the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Song. In the territory of Yan, the state of Qi, the state of Zhongshan and the prince of Yan formed a coalition army to fight against the state of Zhao and Yan Proton. Qin and Chu competed for hegemony, and finally moved towards the Second Central Plains War. The state of Chu relied on its national strength to wage war with the princes everywhere. The state of Chu has won and lost. After the Second Central Plains War, the national strength of the state of Chu was damaged. The aftermath of the war also deeply affected the development of the Chu State. The king of Chu also did not have the ability to organize a large-scale army again and start a war with the Qin state.

Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, did not want Qin to return half of the land of Hanzhong County and Shangyu, even at the expense of Qianzhong County. is to ask for Zhang Yi's head. The king of Chu believed that Zhang Yi was a hero of the Qin state, and the king of Qin would not let Zhang Yi come to the Chu state to die. Zhang Yi is a smart person, and he will not be stupid to come to Chu State to die. To the surprise of the King of Chu, Zhang Yi actually came to the State of Chu again.

Zhang Yi came to the State of Chu, and the king of Chu did not kill him, nor did he kill him. The secret contest between the Qin and Chu states, the confrontation between the kings of Chu and the kings of Qin. The state of Chu lost completely.

In order to avoid trouble, the king of Chu hid in the harem and had fun with the southern queen.

The courtiers of the Chu State came to admonish in waves, and they were all sent back by the King of Chu.

After a few more days, the king of Chu saw that the courtiers were angry, and if he did not go out to preside over the overall situation, it would cause chaos. The next day, the king of Chu went to the court to deal with state affairs, and everyone was busy: "Please don't kill Zhang Yi." ”

The king of Chu asked, "Zhang Yi deceived the widow, shouldn't he be killed?" ”

Zhaoyang said: "Killing Zhang Yi is a small matter, and Qin Chu is a big war." On the king, Zhang Yi died in the state of Chu. On this ground, the king of Qin will definitely send troops to attack our country with all his strength. ”

"Hit it. How could the State of Chu be afraid of the State of Qin. ”

"Today's Qin is not the country of Xiaorong in the west in the past." Zhaoyang said: "The national strength of the Qin State cannot be underestimated. After the Danyang and Lantian wars, China's national strength was damaged. Once we start a war with Qin, we will definitely lose both. If Han Wei takes the opportunity to attack me, Qi and Yue will also send troops to attack me. The situation in the state of Chu is critical. Please put the big picture first. ”

The courtiers all said: "Please put the king on the overall situation." ”

"You... Is this a forced widow? The king of Chu was so angry that his face turned pale, "Zhang Yi deceived the widow, and the widow spared him, so how can he save his face." ”

"Your Majesty, personal honor and disgrace are small, but national interests are great. If Chu wants to fight for the world, it needs to stabilize and develop its national strength. Zhaoyang said: "At the beginning of the king's succession, Wei sent troops to attack me and seize my eight cities. The king temporarily endured the shame of Jingshan brought to us by the Wei people. A few years later, we recuperated, accumulated national strength, fought in Xiangcheng, and avenged the shame. Today, the shame inflicted by the Qin State can be avenged tomorrow. ”

The king of Chu looked at his ministers and asked, "Can the widow wait for the day of Xue Shame?" ”

Zhaoyang is full of confidence, "The state of Chu is united, and in less than three years, it will be able to restore its national strength." We can then fight with the Qin State and even the princes of the Central Plains. Please let go of your hatred for a moment and recuperate. ”

The courtiers said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal. ”

Seeing that there were so many people persuading him, the king of Chu also had steps, and let out a heavy breath, "For the sake of the Chu State, the widow can not kill Zhang Yi." But the widow asked Zhang Yi and Qin Guo to make amends. ”

Zhang Yi was on death row and did not see the light of day. The prison officials of the state of Chu did not give an order, and they did not dare to punish him without authorization. Zhang Yi is in prison, except for the living environment and diet, the rest is not bad. On this day, Zhang Yi was in prison, and she was in high spirits, knocking on the heavy and cold wall, and chanting:

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with my son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son!

Zhang Yi was silent and couldn't extricate herself. Suddenly, a voice came, "Zhang Yi is in prison, and her state of mind is so open-minded, the old man can't compare." ”

Zhang Yi looked at the source of the voice, saw that it was Ling Yin Zhaoyang, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yi's singing voice made Ling Yin see smile." ”

Zhaoyang said with a calm face: "Zhang Yi, I'll send you." ”

Zhang Yi's face did not move, he spread his hands, and said fearlessly: "What should come will always come." Ling Yin, I have a reluctant request. ”

Zhaoyang raised his hand and said, "Say it!" ”

"Can you give me some food and wine before you send me on my way?" Zhang Yi pointed to her hungry stomach, "Zhang Yi doesn't want to be a hungry ghost after death." ”

"I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Well, that's it. Before I died, I was able to get Ling Yin to send me personally. Zhang Yi flicked off the dust on the corners of his clothes, and said with a long smile: "Zhang Yi's life can be regarded as complete." ”

Zhaoyang asked: "You know that you came to Chu to die, why did you come." ”

Zhang Yi stopped laughing and replied: "The eldest husband was born in the world and cannot become famous. What's the use of living a hundred years empty. Zhang Yi came to the State of Chu for the sake of the State of Qin and the King of Qin. The king of Chu killed me, not only to achieve Zhang Yi's fame. It can also make the State of Qin and the King of Qin remember Zhang Yi. Although Zhang Yi is dead, he is still glorious. ”

"Zhang Yi, you're a madman." Zhaoyang raised his hand and said, "Take it away." ”

The door to the cell was opened, and two soldiers entered the room to detain Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi walked out of the cell, took a deep breath of fresh air, and sighed, "It's better to be in the outside world!" ”

Zhang Yi walked a distance and asked, "Ling Yin, this is not the way to the execution ground." Where are you going to take me. ”

Zhaoyang stopped and looked at him, "The king is waiting for you in the palace." ”

"The King of Chu is waiting for me." Zhang Yi was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "Didn't King Chu want to kill me?" ”

"You're dead. has achieved a lifetime of fame. Zhaoyang's eyes showed hatred, "If the two countries of Qin and Chu go to war, it will be a disaster. Is this how you treat life? ”

Seeing that he would not die, Zhang Yi laughed at himself: "Ling Yin, you scared me to death." I thought you were really here to send me to the ghost gate. ”

Zhaoyang teased: "Zhang Yi, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"If the king of Chu wants to kill me, of course I must show righteousness and die generously. When it spreads out like this, everyone will praise me Zhang Yi as a man who stands up to the sky. Zhang Yi stroked her chest and calmed her mind, "Don't hide it from Ling Yin, I was pretending just now." Zhang Yi is a snob, how can he not be afraid of death. ”

Zhaoyang fixed his eyes, the person in front of him acted in a different style than he expected. Zhaoyang didn't want to say anything more to him, and walked quickly towards the Chu Palace. Entering the Chu Palace, Zhang Yi said: "Foreign Minister Zhang Yi, meet the King of Chu." ”

The King of Chu snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Yi, you can be guilty of deceiving the widow." ”

Zhang Yi said: "The foreign minister is guilty. ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he was stunned for a while. Is this person in front of you Zhang Yi?

"Zhang Yi, you know your guilt." The king of Chu said: "How should the widow treat you." ”

"The king let me out of death row and came to the Chu Palace. The king doesn't want Zhang Yi's cheap life. Zhang Yi replied calmly: "Your Majesty, don't kill me." I also give the king a gift. The king will listen to me with sincerity. Zhang Yi can make the states of Chu and Qin forever become brothers. ”

King Chu's face stiffened, and he sneered: "Joke." The states of Qin and Chu became brothers. The widow does not need it. ”

"The king is reluctant to form a brotherly state with Qin. If Qin and Han Wei form an alliance, they will jointly attack Chu. The Qin army advanced by land and water, all the way down from the big river, all the way out of the military pass. Han and Wei attacked Chu and Jianghan. The Yue Kingdom attacked the eastern border of Chu. The State of Qi also took advantage of the situation to enter and crusade against the State of Chu. Zhang Yi deliberately paused and continued: "How long can the Chu State hold out." ”

Zhaoyang shouted: "Zhang Yi, don't be presumptuous." ”

Zhang Yi ignored Zhaoyang and watched the King of Chu's every move, "The five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Chu, Yue, and Qi formed an alliance to attack the State of Chu. Although the state of Chu is large, it can't withstand the attack of the princes. Zhang Yi asserted that within three months, he would die. Zhang Yi is a stupid person, uniting the weak and hating the strong, and he also knows that this approach is not wise. The alliance between the king and the Qin state, the affairs of the world, isn't it up to the Qin and Chu countries to have the final say. ”

King Chu's stiff cheeks showed a smile, "Zhang Yi, you won." Widow admitted, you are a powerful character. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, it's not me who won. It is a win-win situation for Qin and Chu. ”

The king of Chu asked, "Zhang Yi, I'm afraid that no one in the world is your opponent." ”

Zhang Yi said: "If the rhino head is there, Zhang Yi will not dare to be big." ”

"Come on, prepare a singing and dancing banquet." King Chu said: "Zhang Yi, the widow will put you in prison for a few days. Today, the widow will let you taste the wine and delicacies of the Chu country. ”

Not long after, the king of Chu set up a banquet in the palace to express his condolences to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was so hungry that she ate indiscriminately. When the king of Chu saw that he was ugly, he teased: "Zhang Yi, you are the minister of Qin." This kind of eating appearance has been spread..."

Zhang Yi swallowed indiscriminately and replied, "Your Majesty, I'm really hungry. Let them go whatever the people of the world want. ”

"Okay." When the king of Chu saw that he was quick to talk, he appreciated him a little, "He has a good temperament." ”

Zhang Yi ate delicious food, drank fine wine, and watched the songs and dances of the Chu State.

The King of Chu shouted, "Zhang Yi." ”

"The minister is here."

"The widow heard that you came to Qin to bring treasures and beauties, but there is such a thing."

"Yes."

"The widow wants to see what kind of beauty you bring."

Zhang Yi didn't answer, her eyes stared at a beauty in pink clothes, and asked, "Who is this beauty?" ”

Zhaoyang coughed and reminded: "Zhang Yi, don't be presumptuous." This is Zheng Sleeve, the queen of the south, the favorite concubine of my king. ”

Zhang Yi was surprised, "Zheng Guo is so beautiful, after seeing Nanhou today, he deserves his reputation." ”

Zhaoyang warned: "Zhang Yi, please pay attention to your words. ”

Zhang Yi apologized to the King of Chu and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yi is rude. The foreign ministers were lonely and unheard, and they didn't know that the king's concubine looked like a fairy. The beauty of the southern queen is comparable to extraordinary people. How could Qin Nu be compared to Nanhou. ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he looked at the favorite concubine who was dancing, and his heart was very happy, and he also dispelled the idea of seeing the Qin girl.

When Zuo Situ Qu Yuan returned from the envoy to the Qi State, he angrily rushed to the crown and entered the Chu Palace. The king of Chu was watching the song and dance with the ministers in the palace, and when he saw Qu Yuan coming back, he smiled and said, "Qu Yuan, come and watch with the widow." ”

Qu Yuan's face sank, and he scolded left and right: "Go down." ”

The atmosphere in the Chu Palace suddenly reached a stalemate.

The king of Chu waved his hand, and the singer retreated.

The king of Chu asked, "Zuo Situ, what is it about the widow that makes you unhappy?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Zhang Yi came to the Chu State. Where is this person? ”

The king of Chu picked up a glass of wine and said casually: "The widow let him go back." ”
