At this moment, above the main hall of the temple of the Chu State, Zhang Yi's eloquent argument was vigorous, and now he felt a little fortunate that the two people of Mi Yuan and Lao Zhaoyang were on the front line, if they were in the Chu court, they would inevitably become the biggest obstruction.

"Qin Xiang is alarmist, Chu is in alliance with Qi State, and there is no ill intention in alignment." King Chu Huai said lightly, and he was also curious about what Zhang Yi had to say.

"Hahaha......" Zhang Yi's laughter suddenly resounded through Chu Ting, and then said to the king: "Qi State claims to be the first power in the Central Plains, and it dares not to seize the world, but in order to steal an inch of land from its neighbors, it is very happy to get a little profit, such a strong country Zhang Yi disdains. If the foreign minister is not mistaken, the land of 300 miles of Huaisi is occupied by the Chu State, and the Qi State will not forget it, and will definitely take the opportunity to seek it as soon as the time comes. ”

"It is true that the Qi State has a covetous heart for Chu, but it is not as good as the heart of the Tiger and Wolf Qin State to occupy Bashu and harm Chu." King Chu said quietly.

"If the king of Chu is still like this, then it is inevitable that Qin and Chu will fight each other, it is not my king's intention, it is really a helpless move." Zhang Yi spread his hands and said, and added: "If Qin and Chu fight each other, the country will suffer and the people will be tired, and both will be hurt and the Qi country will sit and reap the profits, I hope the king will think twice!" ”

The king of Chu was unmoved when he heard this, and said with a confident smile: "Qin Xiang, the two countries of Chu and Qin have been at war, the Qin State is suffering from the enemy on its back, and the main force is in Hangu. ”

King Chu Huai has a reason for being confident, the current situation is very good for the state of Chu, and Zhang Yi's arrival in Yingdu made the king of Chu firmly believe that the state of Qin could not withstand it.

King Chu Huai is now confident and high-spirited, the tiger wolf Qin State is known as the head of the world's heroes, all the heroes are not afraid of Qin, and now under his hands, he has fallen into a difficult situation, after this battle, the Chu State is bound to be powerful in the world, and the King of Chu is bound to be powerful in the sea.

"The king didn't say that the foreign ministers almost forgot ......" Zhang Yi looked at King Chu Huai with a puzzled expression, spread his hands and asked: "There is no precedent for the Qin State to take the initiative to fight with Chu, the two countries have been at peace with each other for more than a hundred years, and they have exchanged alliances and exchanges, so why did the Chu State suddenly attack the Qin State?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the King of Chu laughed, then laughed, and then looked at Zhang Yi, who was dazed, and smiled even more, "Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, in the world of great controversy, these words came out of the mouth of your disciples in Guigu, and the laughter is also unscathing!" ”

Except for Chen Zhen, who was motionless and did not laugh, the rest of the courtiers laughed with the king of Chu.

At the end, King Chu Huai said again: "Since Prime Minister Qin has this question, the widow will answer it." Zhang Yi looked at the King of Chu with a calm expression, and the latter said solemnly: "Qin swallowing Bashu is the reason why Chu invaded the Qin State, the King of Qin should not have destroyed Bashu, let alone swallowed Bashu privately, Qin destroyed Bashu and swallowed it, Yan Ying is in sight, how can the widow sit idly by?" ”

Zhang Yi saw Chu Chen with a playful gaze and contempt, and he didn't care, his outstretched hands immediately closed in front of his lower abdomen, bowed his head and said to himself: "The world of chaos is for the great strife, the world of great strife, where there is blood, there must be a heart of contention, or for the survival of the country, or for the strengthening of the country, have to fight, it is for the war." However, the king and the state of Chu don't have to be like this, and neither do my king and the state of Qin. ”

King Chu Huai stopped laughing and looked at His Royal Highness Zhang Yi with a smile on his face, and said: "Qin State faces Chu Qi Shuangxiong, Qin doesn't say victory, even if he can survive the country, it is two words. ”

"yes!" Zhang Yi faced King Chu Huai again, and said in an indifferent tone: "The king can come again to attack Qin, there has been a precedent for rhinoceros to attack Qin, and the king may be able to learn from one or two." ”

As soon as these words came out, King Chu Huai's face froze, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he said with a dark face: "Zhang Yi, do you think that this time you can still rely on the argument of your tongue to withdraw my million Chu army?" Today, the Qin State is in a catastrophe, even if you Qin Xiang Zhang Yi have ten mouths, there is nothing to do now! ”

"It's too small to withdraw from the army based on tongue alone, and it's embarrassing for the foreign minister to take it out, hahaha......" Zhang Yi laughed loudly, and Chen Zhen among the Chu ministers couldn't help but look pale, and his eyes glanced at Zhang Yi and fell on him.

"Oh? The widow is going to listen to Qin Xianggao's arguments! The black-faced King of Chu immediately turned into a curious King of Chu. Zhang Yi looked at the King of Chu with a smile, "The Chu army attacked the land of Shangyu, although Danyang won a great victory, and now the army is in Wuguan, but because of our Qin army's defender General Gan Mao, the Chu army has been unable to attack for a long time, although General Gan Mao is also struggling, but now the foreign ministers are afraid that the Chu army will also suffer heavy losses." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yi sighed, "Qin and Chu are both strong countries, if you really want to fight like this, I don't know when we will be able to stop fighting, and in the end we will lose both, although my king is helpless, but he is even more unwilling to take advantage of the fisherman's interests in Qi, so Qin is willing to send the land of Shang Yu to Chu State!" ”

"What?" The king of Chu originally had a look of respect, but when he heard Zhang Yi's last sentence, he blurted out in astonishment, and the ministers of Chu Ting were surprised, and they immediately continued to discuss.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi said repeatedly: "The land of Shang is six hundred miles, and the Qin State is dedicated to the king. ”

The king of Chu concealed his gaffe, and said precariously: "The land of Shang Yu is the ancestral land of Chu, and it is wrong for Qin Xiang to say that it is wrong to sacrifice the land, it is to return it!" ”

"It doesn't matter, the state of Chu took it, in short, the state of Qin doesn't want this land, but I am willing to reconcile with Chu and stop the alliance with each other, so that the two countries can be at peace with each other, and each of them will respect and secure the people, so as to avoid the needless blood and sweat of the subjects of the two countries." Zhang Yi said that he had to put on an expression of pain and reluctance, but he still had to appear generous, and his expression changed easily.

I almost believed it all.

"Is what Qin Xiang said true?" King Chu asked again, this surprise came too suddenly, if you can recapture the land of Shang Yu without spending a single soldier, it is the best choice, King Chu Huai does not know that although the Qi State is an ally, how many good things can be achieved in the alliance of the world of great contention? Zhang Yi said that the country of Qi had the benefit of the fisherman, and the king of Chu was not worried.

King Chu Huai is just too greedy as Wei Zheng said, but he is by no means an incompetent and faint king, and he can still be determined to cut down Qin, because the king of Chu knows that Qin has formed a huge threat to Chu because he has won Bashu, which has broken the original balance between Chu and Qin, and Chu has fallen into a huge strategic disadvantage.

Only by taking the land of Shangyu and opening the southern gateway of Qin to Chu and Chu have the capital to threaten Qin, then the two countries will continue to be at peace. Otherwise, even if this land of Shang Yu is the ancestral land of the Chu State, why don't you fight it early or late, but only after the Qin State suddenly swallowed Bashu?

The reason why he has not fought with Qin State before, firstly, is because Qin and Chu are on par in strength, and the fight is basically a lose-lose situation, and in the end, others will benefit; The second is because the state of Chu is afraid of Qin and Qi joining forces, and the state of Chu is in danger for the sake of a place to be commercial, and the "calculating" king of Chu certainly knows how to make trade-offs, on the contrary, Qin is also afraid of the alliance of Qi and Chu and does not dare to start a war easily, which has a situation where the three kingdoms are at peace and sound;

And thirdly, there is the land of Bashu buffering between Qin and Chu, although Qin is a long-term concern of the Chu State, it is not a near-term worry.

But now it's different, the delicate balance between the two countries has disappeared with the land of Qin and Bashu, if the state of Chu has no reaction, Yan Ying is in sight, and then the state of Chu is in danger, how can the king of Chu sit idly by?

Only by laying down a place for business can the two countries form a new delicate balance, and only by fearing each other will they not easily fight.

His Royal Highness Zhang Yi heard the King of Chu's inquiry, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, did the foreign ministers come all the way to bully the king above the Chu court?" ”
