When Chen Zhen saw the King of Chu say this, he knew that he still couldn't get the trust of the court of Chu, so he just sighed lightly and then kept silent.

In fact, in the Chu State, it has always been ruled by the local wealthy families, and the foreign scholars may be favored by the high-level of the Chu State, but it will definitely not change the closed situation of the Chu State, so it is impossible to really be reused by the Chu State!

From Confucius to Ye Di, it is not reused by Ye Gong, so that the saying "Ye Gong is a good dragon" is spread; and then the tragic experience caused by the famous general Wu Qi's change of law in Chu State can show that Chu State is an exclusive and closed country. It is naturally impossible for a foreign celebrity like Chen Zhen to really affect the government of the Chu State.

Especially after the king of Chu had made a decision to be friendly with the Qin State and break off diplomatic relations with the Qi State, even if there was still opposition from the entire Chu State, it suddenly had no influence.

After receiving the promise of the king of Chu and the state of Chu, Zhang Yi continued to visit many figures of the pro-Qin faction of the state of Chu, and then returned to the state of Qin to report to the king of Qin. He was accompanied by an envoy sent by the king of Chu to deliver land to Qin.

At the same time, the king of Chu sent an envoy to the state of Qi at the same time, and informed the state of Chu that it was going to break off diplomatic relations with the state of Qi.

When Zhang Yi's convoy entered the territory of the Qin State and had not yet entered Xianyang, it was warmly welcomed by the Qin people. This Xiangguo stood on the car, pretending to say hello to the Qin people, and then without paying attention, he suddenly fell out of the car!

The accompanying guards and envoys of the Chu State were immediately shocked, and they immediately sent Zhang Yi into Xianyang City to be healed.

Subsequently, when the envoys of the state of Chu hoped that the state of Qin would be able to hand over the land of Shang to the state of Chu, the state of Qin denied that this was an alliance between the state of Xiang and the state of Chu, and it should be completed by the state of Xiang. However, Zhang Yi fell in the car, everyone knows, this Xiangguo is now recuperating at home, how can he deliver the land for the Chu State?

And when the envoy sent by the State of Chu to the State of Qi passed through the border of the Song State, Dai Yan found out the news. Knowing that the State of Chu was about to break off diplomatic relations with the State of Qi, he was also extremely excited!

To tell the truth, today's Song State, as a small country between the two great powers of Qi and Chu, when the relationship between the two countries is good, it is the most unfavorable time for the Song State! Now that the State of Chu has broken off diplomatic relations with the State of Song, this is completely the opportunity of the State of Song! Therefore, Dai Yan immediately started the deployment based on the news he learned in advance!

First of all, he began to send people to Qi to carry out activities, intending to completely hand over Yicheng, the capital of Yan State, to Qi State, and at the same time transfer all the 50,000 Song troops stationed in Yidu back!

After the destruction of Yan by the Qi State, there were resistance actions against the Qi State everywhere in the entire Yan State, except for the lower capital. Now where the Qi State can establish itself in the Yan Kingdom, there are only a few large cities. In today's situation, the lower cities are extremely important to the Qi country, and there is absolutely no room for loss!

If it was in the past, for the sake of itself, the Qi State would never let the Song State withdraw its troops. However, when the State of Chu sent an envoy to announce the severance of diplomatic relations with the State of Qi, the State of Qi immediately agreed to the request of the State of Song!

Qi Guo's actions did not exceed Dai Yan's expectations. After all, although Qi is a country that is greedy for small profits, it is because it is more pragmatic that it can handle affairs with various countries more rationally.

Now that the State of Chu has announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the State of Qi, then the south of the State of Qi may be threatened! At such a time, Qi's ally (junior brother) in the south, Song State, can really come in handy!

Regarding the strength of the Song State, the Qi State still trusts it. Even if the Song State did not have the strength to attack the Chu State, it would be no problem for the Song State to resist the attack from the Southern Chu State with the help of the Qi State.

Contrary to Qi Guo's expectations, Dai Yan's national policy for Chu State was not defensive, but extremely aggressive!

In his eyes, the state of Chu was actually a giant with feet of mud - although it looked like an extremely powerful giant from the outside, its foundation was like a pinched of mud, and it would fall down when pushed! And in the context of the general trend of the traverser he had, he knew that the war between the Chu State and the Qin State would soon begin!

Therefore, in addition to transferring the 50,000 Song troops in the Yan State back to China, Dai Yan also recruited the Song army that had been trained one after another over the years, with a total army of nearly 250,000 people!

In addition, he has also been selling various bonds in the Taoqiu market in the past few months to accumulate funds. Taoqiu merchants began to collect grain from various countries at any cost. And the entire Taoqiu factory also began to produce all kinds of military products in a way that was close to full capacity!

Although the war machine of the entire Song Kingdom has not been launched at full capacity, its accumulated strength is always preparing for war! As long as Dai Yan gives an order, the power that Song Guo has secretly suppressed for so many years will definitely surprise the whole world!

The state of Chu broke off diplomatic relations with the state of Qi, but Zhang Yi's "foot injury" was still not healed, and the state of Qin still did not have the intention of handing over the land to the state of Chu.

Under such circumstances, two voices gradually began to appear in the Chu State. One kind of voice, that is, the people led by Qu Yuan, they think that the country of tigers and wolves of the Qin State is completely untrustworthy, and the statement that the Qin State said about ceding the land of Shang Yu is just a fraud! For the sake of today, in order to safeguard the interests of the Chu State and minimize the losses of the Chu State, the Chu State should immediately send an envoy to the Qi State to re-establish friendship with the Qi State and make an alliance!

And the other voice is the pro-Qin faction led by Jin Shang, who had accepted Zhang Yi's bribes before, so they would naturally speak for the Qin State! In their opinion, the reason why the Qin State does not cede land to the Chu State now is because the Chu State has broken off diplomatic relations with the Qi State, and the break is not complete, and the Qin State does not fully believe in the Chu State! As long as the state of Chu completely breaks off diplomatic relations with the state of Qi, then the state of Qin will inevitably cede the land of Shang Yu to the state of Chu!

At such a time, the king of Chu actually had only two choices: to believe in the state of Qi, or to believe in the state of Qin. If he opposes his previous plan, not to mention anything else, the mutual trust between Chu and Qi will be greatly reduced, and his prestige in Chu and even the world will also be greatly reduced! At such a time, even if he believed Qu Yuan and the others in his heart, he had to do what Jin Shang and the others said!

He sent an envoy to the border of Qi and insulted the king of Qi!

This kind of behavior stabbed a hornet's nest all at once! In the past, when the State of Chu sent an envoy to the State of Qi, it only unilaterally announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the State of Qi and recalled the envoy. Qi was a little dissatisfied with Chu's behavior, but considering that Chu, as a southern power, was an important force to resist Qin, Qi also tolerated Chu's "willful" move.

The State of Qi did not even recall the envoys stationed in the State of Chu, in the hope that the two countries would be reconciled one day in the future!

However, the actions of the King of Chu completely angered the King of Qi and the State of Qi! After the state of Chu insulted the king of Qi, the state of Qi immediately recalled all its envoys in the state of Chu and announced the official severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries! And let the Song State immediately prepare and defend on the Song-Chu border!

Zhang Yi, who had been recuperating from his injuries in the Prime Minister of Qin's mansion for nearly three months, was very happy when he heard about the behavior of Chu and saw Qi Guo's response! His "foot injury" was also healed by this happy mood!

The Chu envoy waited in Xianyang for three months, and finally waited for the time for Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi to return to the court. When the envoy of Chu immediately proposed to Zhang Yi that he hoped that the State of Qin would fulfill his promise and deliver the 600 li of the land of the Qin State to the State of Chu, Zhang Yi immediately agreed and said: "Let the envoy of Chu wait for a long time, and immediately report to the king, so that the State of Qin will cede the six miles of land that needs to be handed over to the State of Chu to the State of Chu!" ”

As soon as the Chu envoy heard Zhang Yi's words, he asked with a look of doubt: "Did Qin Xiang remember wrong?" On that day in the Chu State, the Qin Prime Minister promised the Qin State that he would cede six hundred li of Shang Yu and my Chu State, not six li of land! ”

Zhang Yi said with an innocent face: "Chu envoy is not right!" Although Zai Xia is the prime minister of Qin, where can he have the ability to cede the power of Shang Yu's land? The only thing I can decide is the six-mile fief that the king has rewarded me! If the State of Chu needs it, it can be delivered to the State of Chu immediately! ”

Hearing Zhang Yi's answer, Chu Envoy knew that Chu Guo was completely deceived by this Xiangguo! He knew that if he stayed like this and continued to entangle in the Qin State, it would only be a humiliation! So with full of anger, he returned to the state of Chu and reported the news to the king of Chu!

Knowing that Zhang Yi had really deceived himself, King Chu was suddenly furious! He hated both Qin Guo and Zhang Yi so much that if he didn't defeat Qin Guo and capture Zhang Yi, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

Guided by this anger, the king of Chu immediately made a decision: declare war on the state of Qin! Since the State of Qin is unwilling to return the land of Shangyu, then the State of Chu will take it himself!

War, on the verge of breaking out!
