Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fan Yu's First Diplomacy

Although there is no treachery and no business, the businessman must be compared, but Song Feng's shrewdness lies in not being stingy with small profits, and being able to make friends with a buyer with the status of an envoy of the Qin State, why bother with the abrupt benefits as soon as he opens his mouth. He is good at using his advantages to make friends, and it is difficult to have friends in business, so he transforms the intangible interests in business into a plausible friendship, and then allows it to develop.

Fan Yu has been taught, and she is also growing, from not being communicative to deliberately shirking in communication, tactful and subtle, until she is familiar with it...... Little by little, they compromise with the world for their own goals.

Fan Yu got five boxes of rouge gouache, which are made of hollyhock flowers, heavy silk, black bean skin, mountain flowers and Sufang wood to extract red pigment, make powder and then mix with pearl powder, which naturally has a refreshing fragrance, which belongs to the best quality. Fan Yu asked his subordinates to sell it to the local magnates at a high price on the spot, earning fifty taels of gold.

Fifty taels of gold were not covered yet, so they were handed over to Xilian Yin Doucheng: "The Qin State is far away, and it is inconvenient to bring heavy items, and this gold will be used by Lian Yin." Fan Yu said.

"The Qin envoy is really generous, and he will definitely live up to the envoy's hopes, so I will persuade my king to meet the Qin envoy in person."

"Good."

It's really indescribable that I want to smash this dou cheng!

In the early morning of the next day, Fan Yu got his wish because of fifty taels of gold and saw the king and merchant of Chu in the main hall.

Above the court, the vermilion dust feast, the wall is also made of silk exquisite murals, gorgeous and elegant, the ground is covered with bamboo mats, the ministers are seated on both sides of the court, the wide partition is open, so that the court is bright and ventilated.

Shang Chen looked gloomy and his cheeks were sunken, far less sinister and cunning than when he was young, a little more old and old.

"In the Lower Qin State, the envoy Jian Zhu will meet the King of Chu." Fan Yu arched his hand.

Because of saving energy, the merchant first spoke to Juan Renyou, and then Juan Renyou reported to everyone.

A high-pitched and sharp voice came from the main hall: "Why is the envoy of the Qin State masked?" ”

"Back to the King of Chu, the foreign minister was injured in an accident on the way to the State of Chu, and his face was damaged, and he was afraid of staining the eyes of the King of Chu, so he put on a veil and asked the King of Chu to forgive me."

King Chu nodded.

"I heard that the Qin State originated from the barbarian tribe of Longxi, and the man was born dark and burly, why did Qin make him short and immature like a child." Sima Dou Yue Jiao of Chu State did not have a good airway.

Dou Yue Jiao is Dou Ke's cousin, Mi surname, Dou Shi, Ming Jiao, the word Yue, because in ancient times the name and the word were often read together, so it was called Dou Yue Jiao, this person was arrogant and easy to kill, the face was like a bear and a tiger, the sound was like the voice of a jackal, and it was not easy to provoke at a glance.

"Dou Sima is too childish to speak, and the foreign minister is not a Qin person, so he is naturally not as strong and tall as the Qin person. The ancestor of the Qin people guarded Xirong, since Qin Xianggong escorted King Zhou Ping to move eastward, was made a prince, and then to Qin Mugong successively destroyed the twelve countries established by the Western Rong people, opened up more than 1,000 miles of land, and contributed a lot to the great cause of respecting the king. ”

"Respect the king, this is for the people of the Central Plains, and our Chu State doesn't value this."

"Ziyue, don't have a verbal dispute with others! I heard that the Qin envoy came to Chu for important things, and we should treat each other with courtesy and virtuousness, so why fight for the benefit of our tongues and ruin the atmosphere. Lian Yin Doucheng hurriedly dissuaded.

Dou Cheng is Dou Yue Jiao's cousin, although his official position is not as big as Dou Yue Jiao, but Dou Yue Jiao will still give some face.

"Okay, I'll just look at your face, and don't bother with this dwarf." Dou Yue Jiao said

"Why did the Qin envoy come to Chu?" Dou Cheng's eyes glanced at Fan Yu.

Fan Yu didn't want to fight with him at length: "Because of the battle of the Qin-Jin River, the Qin State was unbearable for the Jin State to attack, so he specially asked the Chu State for support. ”

Dou Yuejiao said on the side: "Hmph, as far as I know, the Qin State has repeatedly provoked the Jin State over the years, and the Jin State should make a defense, so what reason does our army have to send out the army, the Qin envoy should not be joking." ”

Fan Yu said calmly: "Dou Sima's words are wrong, when the Qin State escorted the Jin State Gongzi Yong back to China to succeed to the throne, it was the Jin State that treacherously killed his own son, and attacked the Qin army that escorted all the way, and the Qin army counterattacked the Jin State. Looking at the current battle of Hequ, the Jin army even sent three armies to destroy our Qin army, which was intolerable, so the Qin army sent foreign ministers to ask for support from the Chu State. ”

"Since it is a grievance between the two countries, the two countries will solve it by themselves, and the state of Chu does not have to intervene." Chu State ordered Yin Cheng to have a big heart.

Cheng Daxin, Mi surname, Cheng Shi, name Daxin, the word Sun Bo, if the Ao family descendant, the former Ling Yin Cheng is the son of the minister. Because Shang Chen was afraid of the development of the Dou clan's power, he successively appointed Cheng Dechen and his son Cheng Daxin as Ling Yin, and vigorously supported the Ping clan and the Pan clan to suppress the Dou clan.

"It is precisely because of the relationship with the State of Chu that I met the King of Chu. Now that the three strong Jin Qin and Chu, after Jin weakened the Qin State, they will have no worries, and they can deal with the Chu State with confidence, and I will not say more about the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and you all know it very well in your hearts. The king of Chu invaded the Central Plains in the north and coerced the Central Plains states by force, and the Jin State was bound to "

The so-called way of diplomatic relations, to lure it with benefits, to say it with harm, is not afraid that the state of Chu will not agree.

"Then, according to the Qin envoy, how can the Chu State support the Qin army?" Cheng Daxin asked.

"The Qin army sent troops to counterattack the defective land of the Jin State, and the Chu State only needs to transfer a thousand troops and station them in the peach forest of the Jin Dynasty to deter the Jin army, without spending a single soldier."

"As long as you are stationed, you don't have to attack? Why is that? Cheng Daxin asked.

"The Qin and Jin forces are similar, and at this time, the brave wins, and what the Qin army needs is the courage to have confidence"
