The news of the battle in Padang spread back to Jinling, to the city, and to all directions......

The state of Chu, which was originally dormant, actually blatantly sent troops to Yizhou because of the Hanzhong incident, and it took less than a month from mobilization to dispatching troops, from sending troops to starting a month at war, and from starting the war to announcing the establishment of Badong County, it only took three months!

On New Year's Day, Bai Tu responded to the people's petition in Jinling, and half a year later, a county of Chu had already appeared in Yizhou......

Moreover, this time the county was divided into five counties, which was completely announced by the Chu State itself, and after Zhao Yun announced the establishment of Badong County with the privilege of appeasement, Jinling also immediately responded "effective".

In the past, even if the counties under the rule of the princes themselves were to be redivided, they were nominally played first by the imperial court - although it was certain that the local government office had been redivided at the time of the performance, but it was officially announced that it would be after the imperial court replied.

However, this time, Jinling directly announced that "Chubadong County" was valid, and there was no intention of sending an envoy to Chang'an......

As for the reason why Chu sent troops, although the reason preached by Chu itself is very nonsense, it does point out the key - Hanzhong.

The Marquis of Shu's intention to pacify Hanzhong, and then achieve the great cause of "destroying Chu", must be nonsense, but the reason behind Chu's dispatch of troops is not to mention, the direct reason is obviously that Zhang Lu called "Marquis of Hanning" and was rejected by the imperial court!

Although the Chu army is now only occupying Badong, under objective factors such as logistical difficulties and rugged roads, the Yizhou government should be confident that it will control the battle situation in Ba County, but no one dares to pack tickets.

What if the state of Chu pours out the strength of the country and sends 100,000 troops westward?

For the Chu State, although the consumption is huge, and even the people have to be overdrawn, but when the time comes, Yizhou will really have the ability to drag the Chu State?

Whether others have confidence or not, Liu Zhang doesn't have it anyway!

After learning about the military situation in Padang, Liu Zhang went from the incompetence and fury when he learned of the mobilization of the Chu army at the beginning, to the panic and cringe after the establishment of Badong County at the end......

On the one hand, he sent envoys to Chang'an, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Jiangzhou and Jinling.

It was Zhang Song who went to the imperial court, and Qin Mi who went to Jinling.

Liu Zhang was originally dissatisfied with Zhang Song because he often accused him of dereliction of duty recently, and often warned him that Chu State's praise of him was a "stone bullet", but Zhang Song's repeated remarks about the battle situation before made Liu Zhang trust him doubly when the battle situation was unfavorable!

There is no other reason, although Liu Zhang also has a self-righteous side, but he is not domineering enough, or "cowardice" is overflowing, which is the opposite of Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao's defeat in history, the first thing he did was to order to kill Tian Feng, who predicted his failure, because Yuan Shao couldn't stand Tian Feng's ridicule of him in the future, if it was Liu Zhang, he would definitely go to Tian Feng to hug his thigh as soon as possible - since you know that I will lose, you should also know how to let me win, right?

Based on this psychology, Liu Zhang entrusted Zhang Song with an important task......

It's just that this important task made Zhang Song very disdainful - Liu Zhang ordered him to go to the Chang'an court to persuade the emperor and his ministers to put the overall situation first and canonize Zhang Lu as the Marquis of Hanning.

After this time, I am afraid that everyone in the court will know how far the Marquis of Shu has been cowardly.

Along the way, Zhang Song didn't know how many times he said "I am Yanzi" and "I am not angry......

Qin Mi is engaged in the governance of Yizhou, Yizhou Guanghan people, when Liu Yan was in charge of Yizhou, he was recruited several times, but he was politely refused, and at the same time recommended other talents to Liu Yan, and later after Liu Yan's death, when Liu Zhang succeeded him, Qin Mi accepted the call.

Qin Mi himself is good at arguing, and this time he went to Jiangzhou, on the one hand, to inform Yan Yan not to have any overreactions, and on the other hand, he also wanted to go deep into Chubadong County, and go down the river to Jinling, appease Zhao Yun who was in Chubadong County, and go to Jinling to make peace......

Qin Mi is not worried about his own safety, as a "debater", how can he do it if he is not bold?

It is the thing which is boiled the most other than food and medicine...... A debater must be able to speak clearly and eloquently in the heat of boiling water!

What's more, with the reputation of the Chu State, nine times out of ten, he will not do anything excessive to the "envoy".

It's just that the purpose of this line of work is a little aggrieved in Qin Mi.

Half of the county has already been defeated by the Chu State, and he actually wants him to go all the way to negotiate peace?

Qin Mi therefore also persuaded Liu Zhang: "Lord, it is easy to negotiate peace, but it is difficult to beg for mercy!" If you can't make the Chu State feel jealous, what can you use to make peace? ”

"I can reopen the Jingyi trade route." Liu Zhang said righteously.

Qin Mi: ......

Qin Mi didn't expect that his own lord could be so weak - do you want face? I said you beg for mercy! Don't you even refute it? Are you really serious about answering me?

Qin Mi felt very tired, and just wanted to take this mission as the last thing he did for Yizhou Mansion, make up his mind, and after he came back, he would resign and go home and write with peace of mind!

And when Yan Yan sat in Jiangzhou until July, he saw the envoy of Yizhou Mansion again, and this time he came to Yizhou to govern Qin Mi, obviously with important instructions.

In this regard, Yan Yan was really a little inexplicably nervous.

After listening to Qin Mi's intention to convey the Yizhou Mansion, Yan Yan was stunned for a while, and then took a long breath!

"Yan Taishou is okay? Lord...... I also have my own plans! "Qin Mi is an honest person, and he is still loyal to his duties and serves as a messenger, wanting to appease Yan Yan.

Qin Zhizhong was relieved, Yan naturally knew the severity, just because he knew the lord's ...... cough, I was relieved to learn that the lord was in good health. Yan Yan forcibly explained.

In fact, Yan Yan was indeed "relieved", because it was too close to the first division of Wancheng and the first division of Xinye, and even Yan Yan almost really believed their nonsense!

Now it seems...... The lord is really still the familiar lord, and he is still so cowardly, and it was really rumors before.

Qin Mi looked at Yan Yan strangely, and wanted to complain that with your old age, you don't have to worry about the lord's body, right?

However, because of his temperament, Qin Mi already held himself a moral gentleman, and his friends were also gentlemen's friendships, and Yan Yan, a martial artist, was just an ordinary colleague's friendship, and he did not delve into the essence of it.

After understanding that Yan Yan had already understood Liu Zhang's meaning well, Qin Mi then went to Badong, and Yan Yan also sent a team of soldiers to protect him.

Sure enough, after learning that Qin Mi was the envoy of Yizhou, the defenders along the way did not embarrass them, but limited their honor guards to less than 100 people, so they took special care to "escort" to Pingdu County, and first came to see Zhao Yun, the commander of the first division of Wancheng!

Now Zhao Yun is also presiding over the affairs of Padang......

Zhao Yun also understood the routines of these envoys, and as soon as they met, he took the lead in listing Liu Zhang's crimes and clarifying the self-defense position of the Chu State.

Although Qin Mi was disdainful of this, he couldn't make much excuses, after all, ...... The bottom line and cowardice given by Liu Zhang, the eloquence of the messenger is important, but the support behind it is even more important!

And the general lobbyist, as soon as he opens his mouth, he is "I am here to save Your Excellency", and he looks like he is analyzing from the other party's point of view, but Qin Mi doesn't dare to say this, otherwise he would know about it......

If he said that he was "here to save the Chu country", the other party would definitely bite to death immediately, "Sure enough, Yizhou will kill my heart of Great Chu"!

This is promoted as a threat to Yizhou......
