Chapter 264: Release the news
Cheng Jia and the others entered the main hall in turn, and saw King Zhuang standing in front of the map of the Central Plains.
Qin Qian and Cheng Jia glanced at each other, and each had an answer in their hearts. Some men are as small as a needle, and they are complacent with a little achievement. But some men's ambitions are as big and broad as the sky. Zhuang Wang is clearly the latter. It's just that he annexed a small Jin Kingdom, which can't satisfy him at all.
"Cheng Jia, is this map of the Central Plains different from the real situation? And why are there so many blank spaces? Weekend frowned. Such a map is not a complete map at all.
"Great King, this map is a patchwork based on the descriptions of the merchants of the Chu State and the small maps that I accidentally obtained from other countries. So, there are some discrepancies and gaps. ”
"Qin Qian, you and Cheng Jia worked together to complete the map. In particular, the maps of Zhao and Qi must be exactly the same as the real situation. ”
The meaning of the weekend is very clear. He was going to war with Zhao and Qi.
Cheng Jia and Qin Qian had such speculations for a long time, and they were not surprised. After Sun Ping, Dou Jiao, Dou Pan, and Bao Jia were shocked, the expressions on their faces also returned to calm. The current state of Chu has the ability to destroy Zhao and Qi.
On the weekend, I watched the expressions of several people. They are all important ministers of the Chu State, and they are also prepared for a war with Zhao and Qi in the future. In addition, if he is so fanfareful, it is possible that the spies of various countries who stay in the Chu State will be aware of it.
If he intended to release the news, Zhao Qi and the two countries would definitely know that he wanted to send troops to attack them. It is possible that they will gather their forces together, but with the people he pressed in advance, they will stir up discord, and the kings of Zhao and Qi will not be able to get together.
Moreover, if he wants to use troops against Qi and Zhao, he is afraid that the Qin State will think too much. In this way, it is equivalent to telling the king of Qin in advance that Chu State will not send troops to Qin State, and giving him a reassuring pill.
On the weekend, he had the heart to let others know that he was going to send troops. Suddenly said to Dou Jiao: "Dou Jiao, you can say this in front of everyone when you are drunk." ”
"The king, the minister will never leak half a word." Doujiao was worried that he would lose King Zhuang's favor because of Xu Tianhu's affairs, and he kept trembling and walking on thin ice. At this time, hearing this, he thought that King Zhuang was still suspicious of him, so he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.
"Your brother-in-law was punished by me as a shopkeeper and forced you to divorce your wife. It's normal for you to have a grudge against me, so it's best for you to do it. ”
"The king, the minister doesn't understand what the king means." Dou Jiao's eyes were full of doubts. How do you listen to King Zhuang's meaning, I wish the other Zhao and Qi countries knew.
If he announced it directly, King Qin might think too much about it, thinking that he was deliberately paralyzing him.
"I want to make this public announcement. If I announce it directly, King Qin may not believe it. A few of your subordinates in your house are actually the works of other countries. If you get drunk and say it, they'll listen. ”
Those fine works have long been exposed under the noses of the spies at the year pole. I didn't touch them because I thought it might be useful to keep them for the time being.
I deliberately said it clearly on the weekend, so I don't want to think about it.
"I understand." Dou Jiao nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief, King Zhuang still trusted him.
"Prepare when you go back." During this time, there has been no war in the Chu State, and I was afraid that they would relax on the weekend, so I deliberately ordered them.
"Whoa!"
Weekend turned around, put his hands behind his back, stood facing the map, and said in his heart: "What does it mean to destroy a Jin Kingdom, it is a real man to annex the world." ”
When Doujiao returned home, he sat alone in the yard, drunk, and kept muttering.
"I really don't know what the king thinks, he actually wants to start a war against Qi and Zhao. The king destroyed a Jin kingdom and swelled. I don't know how many people will die in this battle. The king still wants me to be a general. My wife was forced to run away by him, and he wasn't enough. He clearly wanted to use the war to get rid of me. ”
After Doujiao said this, he drank another glass of wine, his head shook a few times, and the person lay on the table unconscious.
This scene has been seen by many subordinates. The eyes of several of them kept changing, as if they had stormy waves. The state of Chu is going to send troops, this is the first urgent information.
In the middle of the night, the back door of Doufu was gently pushed, and a figure flashed out of the door and plunged into the night.
When the fine work sent by the State of Qi learned about it, he immediately returned to China to inform the King of Qi.
"The State of Chu wants to send troops to recruit the State of Qi? What's going on? The State of Qi did not offend the King of Chu. "Since Chu destroyed the Jin Dynasty, the whole Qi State has been polite to the Chu State, and there is no offense in the slightest.
"The king, there are many generals in the Chu State. The king of Chu was ambitious and had long had the ambition to annex the Central Plains. ”
"How's that to be?" Even the powerful Jin State was destroyed by the Chu State. The State of Qi cannot be compared with the State of Jin, let alone the State of Chu. If the State of Chu comes, the State of Qi will only be destroyed.
King Qi thought for a long time and thought of forming an alliance with Zhao. "Didn't the Qin State want to destroy the Zhao State as well, and the Zhao State proposed to join forces to resist Qin, and the King of Zhao would definitely agree."
Zhao and Qi together do not have a Jin State University, not to mention that the supreme command of the two armies is different.
Dr. Chen Xun immediately stood up against it.
"Oh no, my lord!" When the State of Chu attacked, the State of Qi was already at the end of the crossbow, and he had already taken refuge in the State of Chu, at this time he worked harder and wanted to make a contribution. In the future, when the State of Chu destroyed the State of Qi, he will be able to have some credit for it.
"Why not?" The blue tendons on King Qi's forehead jumped. That's the only way to do it.
"If we join forces with Zhao State, then do we listen to King Zhao or the king?" King Zhao is just stubborn for his own use, how can he be willing to condescend to others. It is also impossible for the King of Qi to obey the King of Zhao.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers. The armies of the two countries belong to different monarchs, how do they cooperate with each other?
The King of Qi did not want the King of Zhao to divide power, but he had no confidence in the ability of the State of Qi to resist the attack of the State of Chu alone. "This? It's better than Qi facing the iron cavalry of Chu alone. ”
"Great King, when the army is gathered in a hurry to start a war with the Chu State, the generals may have their own careful thoughts. They all want the other party to rush ahead. In this way, no one will rush to the front. If the state of Chu really comes, if the armies of Qi and Zhao are like this, then it is better for the state of Qi to fight against the state of Chu by itself. ”
"So what do you say you should do?"
"The defeat of the Jin Kingdom lies in negligence in defense. We're different. We already know that the state of Chu is coming, so we can strengthen the city in advance and do a good job of defense. ”
"But I heard that the King of Chu knows how to immortal and can easily destroy a strong city."
