Wu backyard fire, although Wu Wang is a little panicked, but in the end the general demeanor is not lost, Wu army overnight camp from Yingdu withdrew, to the impression of the Chu army is walking in a hurry, who would have expected that Wu general Sun Changqing is expected to be Chu general's thoughts, so he set up an ambush in Yongdi, defeated the Chu chasing army.

The 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu State were vulnerable in front of Sun Changqing, and after most of the damage was made, the Wu army retreated to Chu Dong in a free way, and the king of Chu heard this, and was also shocked by Sun Changqing's prestige, and was unwilling to send the elite of the Chu State into the hands of the Wu army, so he also issued an edict to let Gongzi Shen and Yuanyan not pursue the Wu team again.

Of course, the most important point is that the king of Chu has already heard the news that the Qin state sent troops to occupy the capital of Ying, which makes the king of Chu how to endure it, after all, Shou Yingshang is still in the firm grasp of the Wu army, and it will not be recovered by the state of Chu in a short time, so it seems that only the capital of Yingdu is the most suitable capital of the state of Chu.

But now Yingdu is occupied by the Qin people.

The king of Chu also made a mistake for a while, and the court of Chu is still politically clear, after all, without the deception of traitorous ministers like Fei Wuji, he is still a virtuous king of Chu, and he takes care of the affairs of the court and politics in an orderly manner.

Shen Baoxu also returned from Jiangling and single-handedly promoted the alliance between Jing and Chu, which was a great achievement, but the king of Chu didn't know it...... may know, but he will never admit the risks, and in this regard, the king of Chu also set his sights on Shen Baoxu.

The latter also had an understanding, stood up at the moment, and said to the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, the state of Wu can drive straight into Chu for a long time, because of the two countries of Chen and Cai as internal responses, and now the state of Chu is not in a good position, but the camel that is emaciated is bigger than the horse, it is better to make Gongzi Shen and Yuanyan generals, so that he can crusade against the two countries of Chen Cai, in this way, to seize the savings of Chen and Cai, it is also possible to restore some of the strength of the state of Chu." ”

Hearing this, the king of Chu only felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately asked people to write an edict and pass it to the prince Shen and Yuanyan, who were fighting abroad, but then the king of Chu's attention could not be moved away from the Yingdu, so the king of Chu asked Shen Baoxu again: "That Yingdu ...... How can Lone be able to get it back in the hands of the Qin people? ”

Shen Baoxu thought for a moment, and then replied: "The Qin people occupy Yingdu, if the Great Chu wants to recover it, under the condition that the Qin people are strong, they must only be able to negotiate with the Qin State with the [Tactics of Cutting Diplomatic Relations]. ”

The king of Chu disagreed, and immediately said: "Yingdu is the core of Jingdi, and mastering this place means that thousands of miles of Jingdi are all in its control, and the Qin people's thoughts of opening up the territory and expanding the territory over the years are being exposed, how can Shen Qing persuade the Duke of Qin to return Yingdu and the land of western Chu to Gu?" ”

Shen Baoxu said: "The plan is in the people, and the minister asks the king to give a person to accompany the minister." ”

"Who?" The King of Chu is also a little curious, Shen Baoxu is already a virtuous figure in the court of going abroad, looking at this meaning, could it be that there is a virtuous talent in Dachu who even Shen Baoxu admires?

Shen Baoxu straightened his expression and said to the king of Chu: "It's the Qin State Office...... The eldest son, Yingren! ”

The King of Chu was a little surprised, and he didn't know when there was such a person in the Chu State, and he looked at Shen Baoxu with puzzled eyes.

The latter also explained to the king of Chu: "The Qin State has always had a tradition of sending the prince who is not allowed to be a prince abroad, and a few years ago, when the Duke of Qin entered the title of Gongzi Yan as the Chu army of the Qin State, the eldest son of the Qin State was sent by the Duke of Qin to the Chu State Shouying, in order to maintain the Xincai Huimeng between the Qin State and the Chu State. ”

"When Wu Guofa took Shouying, Yingren was sheltered by the powerful people of Chudong and escaped, and he arrived in Xiapu not long ago."

"Oh?" The king of Chu understood that the eldest son of the Duke of Qin was actually an unpowerful son, but immediately thinking of the leading ability of the prince Yan of the Qin State, the king of Chu stalked his neck, and finally said in his heart: "If this person is in the ranks of the princes of the Chu royal family, the royal father will definitely take this person as the king of Chu......"

There is no doubt that the Qin State, which is at war with the outside world, is a piece of iron bucket, therefore, the King of Chu also knows that Shen Baoxu chose to send the eldest son of Qin to Wancheng, because he values the eldest son of Qin, Yingren, is the best candidate to pry the iron bucket of Qin, but it is just ......

The king of Chu was a little skeptical, after all, this Qin eldest son Yingren was none other than one of the remnants of the current Lingnan tyrant of the Qin State who bowed down to the Chu State.

However, this trace of doubt was finally eliminated in the mind of the king of Chu, and in the current situation, it is indeed more appropriate to release the prince of Qin Yingren than to leave him in the territory of Chu and maintain the ethereal overlord of Chu.

At that moment, Shen Baoxu retreated and went to the place where the eldest son of Qin, Yingren, was placed in Xiapu City, and informed him of the matter.

When Yingren heard this, compared with a few years ago, the eldest son of the Qin State, who had a little vicissitudes of life, was also stunned for a while, and then under Shen Baoxu's urging, he came back to his senses, nodded, and happily agreed to return to Wancheng with him.

……

It was only a few days, and Fan Xuan, who was extremely decisive in his actions, successively moved the official offices of the Northern County Administration of Changsha from Zhecheng to Yingdu, and sorted out the documents of Yiying, sealed them in a box, and transported them to Wancheng to return to the Duke of Qin.

"Your Royal Highness, I heard that the King of Chu sent an envoy to Wancheng in Xiapu a few days ago......" In the county government, Fan Xuan also seemed to say such a sentence to Lin Yuyan intentionally or unintentionally after dealing with the official affairs at hand.

"This is not strange...... Lin Yuyan nodded, and then looked at Fan Xuan and said: "Now that the Qin State is strong, the Chu State is weak, and the nightmare Wu army of the Chu State in Yiyi is all lost, and it can't deter the Chu people like this, I'm afraid it ......."

Lin Yuyan's words stopped abruptly, because he suddenly reacted, Fan Xuan said this at this time, it was by no means untargeted, and when he looked back, Lin Yuyan looked at Fan Xuan and asked, "Fan Qing said this for no reason, what is he doing?" ”

Fan Xuan looked left and right, there was no one, and he lowered his voice and said to Lin Yuyan: "This time the strategy of the Chu State to fight diplomatic relations is to use Shen Baoxu as the envoy, and there is one person with him, it is the brother of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of Qin, Yingren!" ”

After Fan Xuan finished speaking, Fang Cai withdrew his steps, and immediately said: "Chu State's strategy of discord is really a bit heartfelt......

Fan Xuan pointed out that this was a strategy of discord, and it was not without concerns, the prince of Great Qin was fighting outside, but the eldest son of the office returned to the capital, if there were one or two accidents, how could Ying Yan, the prince of Qin who was fighting on the front line, feel at ease.

However, Fan Xuan thought too much, and when he heard that Gongzi Yan who Fan Xuan had mentioned, he didn't seem to mind this matter at all, and even his complexion did not change, and then he actually laughed and said: "The king of Chu is young, I'm afraid this strategy is a young tiger frolicking before the tiger!" ”
