"King Qin's envoy Yingze has seen the King of Chu!"

"Zhou people Su Dai has seen the king!"

The two voices sounded in almost no particular order in the palace of the king of Chu. The only difference is that Ying Ze only made a symbolic gesture, but Su Dai made a big gift. After all, Ying represents the state of Qin and the king of Qin; And Su Dai only represents himself.

The King of Chu said with an extremely calm face: "No courtesy!" And there was no further movement.

Feeling the extremely unkind eyes of the minister of Chu looking at him, Ying decided to strike first, and the next moment he said playfully: "The minister heard in Xianyang that the king of Chu is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, happy and elegant, virtuous and courteous, but when I see it today, it is an exaggeration. It's really hard to live up to the fame! The ancients did not deceive me! Don't lie to me! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall. The ministers of Chu couldn't sit still, the envoys of Qin were insulting the king of Chu! The so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, the envoy of the Qin State insults the king of Chu, if the ministers of the Chu State can still endure the mistaken son of man and be a minister!

"Your Minister, please kill such people who speak falsely and criticize the king!" A royal historian came out to play.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

One after another ministers stood up and said indignantly. Many people are even more eager to try, just waiting for the king of Chu to give an order, and they will punish the "thief" who insulted the king of Chu.

There were two people in the main hall who frowned, one was Mi Liang and the other was Su Dai. Mi Liang is doubtful that Ying Ze should not be stupid enough to provoke all the anger in the hall, this is obviously the way to die. Even if he wants to save the other party, he is more than willing to do it. Su Dai vigilantly swept Yingze's words, this trick is a dangerous plan to put the place of death and live afterward, the other party really dares to use it! Should I admire or admire!

Chu Guo's face was iron-blue. When he met the envoy of the Qin State by himself, he was originally going to humiliate him, but he didn't expect the other party to preemptively attack and humiliate himself first! It stands to reason that if you change to someone else, you will directly pull it down and cut it! But the other party is the envoy of the Qin State, representing the Qin State. If they are dragged down and killed like this, the Qin State and the Chu State will really not die. This is not to say that the king of Chu is afraid of the retaliation of the Qin State, but he feels that there is no such need. What's more, sometimes letting the other person live may be more humiliating than killing the other person!

"Jie Ji", Ying Ze sneered three times, and said disdainfully: "Things gather by like, and people are divided by groups." The ministers under the King of Chu were so rude, didn't it just show that it was actually difficult to live up to the fame? ”

Ying obviously thought that she didn't die fast enough, adding fuel to the fire! Some staunch anti-Qin factions secretly sneered in their hearts. Just waited for the king of Chu to give an order to execute the envoy of Qin. Honor the former king!

The king of Chu laughed angrily, what a strange messenger the king of Qin sent, he begged for death as soon as he came up, and he didn't fulfill the other party. I want to see for myself, what kind of conspiracy and tricks Qin Guo has this time!

"Ying Zongzheng, you said that it is actually difficult to live up to the reputation of the widow, I don't know where to say this? The widow felt that Ying Zongzheng humiliated the widow as soon as he came up. It's a lack of etiquette! Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Presumably, the King of Qin, who promoted you to the high position of Zongzheng, will not be much better?! Ying Zongzheng. You tell me? The King of Chu smiled coldly, and did not give Ying Ze a chance to refute, and said to Huang Xie, the left disciple: "Huang Aiqing! The widow has heard that there are many books in your house, and I think there are many books on how to be a courtier. You might as well lend some to Ying Zongzheng! Let Master Zongzheng study hard! ”

Bursts of laughter suddenly erupted in the hall, but the seemingly intimate words of the King of Chu were against the army, directly hinting at the rudeness of the Qin State! In this way, it is more relieving than directly pulling Ying Ze down and killing him! The ministers of the Chu State all looked at Ying Ze with contempt. Want to know how he copes! Is it to tear your face in anger or to bow your head in shame? No matter which one it is, the whole state of Chu can make the envoys of the state of Qin experience more humiliation! This is not the Qin Palaces in Xianyang!

Ying Ze swept down the ministers in the hall with extremely calm eyes, and then looked at the King of Chu, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said. said with a smile: "The minister is the envoy of the Qin State, and he has the Qin King Fu Festival, if the Chu State knows the etiquette, he should receive the minister first." Why do you compare a commoner with a courtier, and receive him together? Could it be that this is the hospitality of the Chu State? This is the rite of the Chu State? If this is the case, if it spreads, who in the world will pay attention to the Chu State?! I am afraid that when people in the world mention Chu in the future, they will say that Chu is a barbarian state! ”

The King of Chu secretly sneered in his heart, speaking of which, your Qin State is not much more noble than our Chu State! The Qin State was just a tribe of Xirong at the beginning, and the same as the Chu State was not tolerated by the self-proclaimed orthodox Jin, Qi, Yan, Song, and Lu! It's all about being isolated! In order to enter the Central Plains, you Qin State hugged the thigh of the Jin State for a hundred years! He also tried his best to make friends with our Chu State! It wasn't until Shang Ying changed the law that you became angry! Now he thinks he is a state of etiquette to teach the state of Chu a lesson?! Hum!

"Barbarians, Ru Mao drinks blood, and he doesn't know how to be polite! The state of Qin has repeatedly deceived the state of Chu, there was the matter of imprisoning King Huai in the past, and then there was the act of tearing up the covenant and attacking Yiling, if we talk about the state of barbarians, our state of Chu is far less than that of Qin! One of the imperial historians scoffed.

"That's it! It is! "There are constantly ministers seconding it!

The King of Chu glanced at Ying Ze contemptuously, then looked at Su Dai gently, and said slowly: "Mr. Su Dai is a famous man in the world!" The widow is a good and virtuous person, and he is thirsty for talent! Mr. came to Yingdu, it is a fortunate thing for the widow and a lucky thing for the Chu State! Receiving Mr. is an important matter of the country, and meeting Ying Zongzheng is also a state affair, who stipulates that they cannot meet together? ”

After a pause, the King of Chu snorted coldly and said: "The widow is willing to worship Mr. Su Dai as the guest secretary of my Chu State, could it be that the widow even wants the king of Qin to agree when he will receive his guest secretary?" ”

Ying Ze bowed his head and said nothing, he didn't expect that in order to be angry, the King of Chu would be sent to the position of Keqing so lightly. In this way, I really can't get entangled! However, the king of Chu is like this, and the state of Chu is just like this, hehe.

For Su Dai, the position of Keqing is an unexpected joy. Come to think of it, the king of Chu was just to humiliate the envoy of the Qin State and make the other party speechless. I can't refuse, otherwise I will offend the king of Chu. What's more, with this identity, Su Dai is more confident in completing his task!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sudai's reaction was quick. The title also changed immediately.

The King of Chu glared at Ying Ze proudly, and said gently: "Su Keqing, please get up!" In this way, between three words, Su Dai became the guest secretary of Chu State. The position of guest secretary is dedicated to the eyes and ears of the monarch, and the duty of giving advice and advice. Su Dai is also competent! And. Because of the extreme freedom of the position, there is no damage to the interests of the ministers of the Chu State, and the ministers of the Chu State naturally have no objection to this.

"Hehe", the King of Chu, who had the upper hand, was obviously in a much better mood, but his expression was calm and said: "Yingzong is wading through mountains and rivers, there must be some purpose, right?" Let's get it straight! ”

Ying Ze made a gesture and said with a smile: "The minister came this time for the Qin-Chu Alliance. If the state of Chu is willing to sever ties with the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi, and send the prince to Xianyang as a hostage, the state of Qin is willing to sacrifice the land of the two counties of Bashu, and at the same time marry the princess of Qin to the king of Chu as a concubine, and the two countries will always be brothers and will never go to war! ”

The King of Chu looked a little hesitant for a while, originally thinking that the Qin State should have sent an envoy over to contain Korea. If only that's all. If the conditions offered by the Qin State are suitable, it is not unavoidable. However, I didn't expect the conditions of the Qin State to be so favorable. But the demands are also excessive. Breaking off diplomatic relations with Han, Wei, and Qi? Do you want to send the prince to Xianyang as a hostage? In the future, the state of Chu will not be at the mercy of the state of Qin? However, what the Qin State is willing to pay is the two counties of Bashu! Not a few small towns! It is the two counties of Bashu with 150,000 households!

"Your Majesty! The Qin State is cunning and impermanent! Don't listen to the Qin people's divisive schemes! "A doctor from the state of Chu was the first to stand up.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Another doctor also woke up and reminded: "At the beginning, Zhang Yi tempted the former king, willing to exchange 600 miles of land for the severance of diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi, but as a result, the size of 600 miles of land was not obtained. Instead, the State of Qin formed an alliance with the State of Qi and seized two hundred miles of land from the State of Chu! ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the minister of the Chu State, who was hesitating whether to persuade the King of Chu to agree just now, suddenly realized that the Qin State had deceived the Chu State several times. The two counties of Bashu are so dangerous, is the Qin State so easy to let go? I'm afraid this is another trick used by the Qin State!

"Huh". Ying Ze looked around at the ministers who spoke out against it, and said: "Decades have passed since Zhang Yi's incident, why should you be bothered. Now that the lord of my Great Qin is the lord of the world with faith, I am afraid that you have forgotten that three years ago, my Great Qin and the Chu State formed an alliance, but I took the initiative to offer Yingdu! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to meet you in Chen County at this moment! ”

Everyone knows that what Ying Ze said is true, if the Qin State did not take the initiative to offer the land of Yingdu for two hundred miles in order to win over the Chu State, the Chu State is still in Chen Ying! However, such straightforward words are naked humiliation in the eyes of the ministers of Chu - you show me to be smarter, if it weren't for the generosity of our Qin State, you would still be nesting in Chen Ying, and you wouldn't even be able to get in, you must know how to be grateful!

Therefore, a minister immediately retorted: "It was true that the Qin State and my Great Chu formed an alliance at the beginning, but they tore up the alliance, attacked Yiling, and burned the tomb of the king of Chu again!" This is the Qin State's faith and righteousness in the world? Hum! ”

Ying Ze showed a regretful expression and sighed: "Speaking of this, I can't complain about our Qin State!" How sincere our intentions were in the Qin State, and we sent the eldest son of the king to Yingdu as a hostage, but as a result, your Chu State actually let the eldest son of the king of Great Qin die in Yingdu! If I, Great Qin, don't take this opportunity to teach your country a lesson, how can I have face? Where is the prestige? ”

"Humph! It is clear that it is your Qin State's own internal strife, and you can't complain about our Chu State! One minister argued.

"Hehe, the state of Chu has hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, thousands of chariots, and thousands of war horses, but he can't protect a person? Should I understand that your country's combat power is so, or is it not well protected? Ying sneered.

"You! You ...... "The minister of Chu is speechless!" To admit that you are not well protected is to admit that you are wrong, and to admit that you are weak in combat is to humiliate yourself as a rabble.

"Hehe", Su Dai came out at this time to play a round, and said softly: "Ying Zongzheng said that this time it was for the alliance of Qin and Chu, but from the perspective of Yidai, I am afraid that sincerity is insufficient!" ”

"Oh?" Ying Ze smiled, "Dare to ask Lord Keqing, where is the lack of sincerity?" As long as the King of Chu nods, I, Daqin, am willing to send the three cities of Ba County immediately! After severing diplomatic relations with Han, Wei, and Qi, and forming an alliance with Great Qin, the rest of the cities will be handed over together, isn't this sincere enough? ”

Su Dai shook his head and said in an astonishing voice: "The two counties of Bashu have become enclaves, like chicken ribs, and it is a pity that the food of the Qin State is tasteless and abandoned!" This is a hot potato, and your country is afraid that it has long lost the determination to stick to it. What's more, now the Qin State has been defeated. In the turtle shrinkage pass, why should my Chu State offend the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi for the sake of a Bashu! ”

After a pause, Su Dai glanced at Ying Ze meaningfully, and said softly: "Dai heard that now the remnants of the old country of Bashu are ready to move in the two counties, and the Qin Shi of the two counties are too busy to take care of themselves. If my Chu country wants to take it, it is as easy as a finger, so why bother with your country's gift! ”

The main hall was in a commotion, and they all looked at Ying Ze gloatingly, and looked at Su Dai with admiration. Su Dai is a guest secretary, and he announced to Qin on behalf of Chu that it is easy to take the two counties of Bashu and Shu without the alms of Qin! If you want to pull the Chu State to the chariot of the Qin State with just the two counties of Bashu and Shu, no way!

When the king of Chu heard this, he was also very relieved. If the state of Chu does not submit to the state of Qin, the army of the state of Qin can reach the capital of Yingdu in ten days, destroy the country, and destroy its temple. Under such a threat, the state of Chu had to be pro-Qin!

Ying Ze frowned, this action flashed, but it was noticed by Su Dai. Sudai smiled to himself. As long as the conspiracy of the Qin State is exposed, relying on his current identity. It is not difficult to keep the state of Chu from falling to the state of Qin.

Ying made a gesture to the king of Chu and said: "I still have 100,000 troops and 150,000 households in the two counties of Bashu in Daqin!" The remnants of the Bashu clan are just clowns jumping off the beam, so don't worry! Although Bashu has become an enclave, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and it is not easy to attack! Even if the six countries of Shandong knocked on it with five times as many people. It's not easy to win! Guanzhong is also a danger of mountains and rivers, there are 300,000 people, it is not easy to get! However, the state of Chu, although there is the danger of mountains and rivers, but there are few soldiers. The minister thought that this was the hidden worry of the Chu State! The king pondered! ”

Smiling, Ying Ze continued: "Now the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi are on good terms! If South Korea moves south from Nanyang, Wei sends troops from Daliang, and Qi passes through Huaisi, Chu is afraid that it will be difficult to resist! In less than two months, the state of Chu will be in great danger! Even if they asked Yan and Zhao for help, the reinforcements of the two countries were far away and could not quench their thirst. The ministers are really worried about the king! ”

"The powerhouses in the world, except for Qin and Zhao, are South Korea. The state of Zhao is remote, and whether the state of Chu is attached or evil, the impact on the state of Chu will not be too great. The ministers watched South Korea change the law and try to become stronger, and even took the land of Sanchuan, Nanyang, and Hanzhong, and annexed the heart of the world, which is obvious! If the king is attached to Korea, waiting for Korea to take the land of the two counties of Bashu, and then combining the forces of Wei and Qi to go south to attack Chu, even if Qin wants to help Chu, he will not slack off! Why don't you take advantage of the fact that Korea has not annexed Bashu, make friends with my Great Qin, and fight against Korea together! In this way, the state of Chu has the strong reinforcement of the state of Qin, and there is no need to worry about Korea uniting Wei and Qi to go south. Qin has Chu as an ally in the south, which can distract Korea and prevent it from advancing westward! The minister thought that there was no better strategy than an alliance between Qin and Chu! ”

The king of Chu was a little moved when he heard this, Bashu in Qin and Nanyang in South Korea were very close to Yingdu, in other words, they could pose a great threat to Chu. But after all, the Qin State only has an army of 100,000 troops, and it has been repeatedly hit hard by Korea! South Korea can gather two or three hundred thousand elites to conquer Yingdu in one fell swoop! The two sides are weighed, and it is natural to help the Qin State! If Bashu is obtained by South Korea, South Korea will completely surround Yingdu!

Keqing Su Dai spoke at this time, and he also knew that if he didn't open his mouth again, the King of Chu would be persuaded by Yingze. After all, the condition offered by the Qin State was that the two counties of Bashu had been coveted by the Chu State for a long time, and in the face of absolute interests, the humiliation of the past became not worth mentioning! No matter how loud the opposition of the people is, the King of Chu will not care!

"The minister has heard that it is self-defeating to wage frequent wars when a country is weak and weak! If the troops are not as strong as the other side, don't take the initiative to provoke disputes! If you don't have as much food and grass as the other side, don't fight with the other side for a long time! Nowadays, the soldiers of Han, Wei, and Qi are many generals, and Zhang Ping, Zhang Lu, Wei Wuji, Tian Dan and others are plotting for it, and Tyrant Kite, Meng Fu, Li Mu, and Jin Contempt lead their soldiers, if the king breaks off diplomatic relations with Qi, it is tantamount to offending the Three Kingdoms! This is a ploy to bring disaster to the Chu State! Please think twice! ”

"The Qin State now has the land of Bashu, but it has to take the initiative to give it! Once the state of Chu receives it, where will the 100,000 army of the state of Qin go? Therefore, the Dao and the Diagonal Praise Dao are owned by South Korea, and the 100,000 Qin divisions cannot advance or retreat, so they can only stay in the Chu realm! But under the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?! Han, Wei, and Qi invaded our Chu State, our country is bound to be unstoppable, and 100,000 Qin divisions will go down the river, and they will be used by our Chu State to resist the armies of Han, Wei, and Qi with all their hearts? The minister thought that it would be my Chu army who would really resist the enemy at that time! If the Qin army takes advantage of the heavy losses of our Chu State, occupies the magpie's nest, occupies Nanjun and Qiannan, and divides up our Great Chu with Han, Wei, and Qi, our Chu State will be in danger! Please consider this carefully. ”

"Even if the Qin State really helps the Chu State, the troops that can be used are only 100,000 troops! Han, Wei, and Qi are millions of people, even if they divide 500,000, it is not something that our Chu State can resist! At that time, it will not be the matter of two or three counties that will be lost, but the country will be put in danger for the sake of the two counties of Bashu, and the ministers will think that it is not worth it! Su Dai made a big gift and admonished.

The hall fell silent, and there was a lot of discussion. Just now, many ministers of the Chu State were frightened by the picture sketched by Ying Ze, compared with the preservation of the country's social system, it has become not so difficult to accept an alliance with the Qin State! Su Dai's words directly pointed out the conspiracy behind the Qin State, after the Qin State offered the two counties of Bashu, where did the 100,000 Qin masters go? Qin had long expected that Han, Wei, and Qi were going to attack Chu, right?

The king of Chu suddenly woke up, he only saw the immediate benefits, how could he forget the consequences of the alliance! Qin State! Qin State! There really wasn't any kindness!

At this time, Mi Liang, who had not spoken out, spoke. (To be continued......)
