Xiong Liang doesn't need to think about it to know who did it: "Well, don't bother with this, the Qin State can borrow it if it wants, and it's my business whether the soldiers and horses are used or not." The bear couple finished his drink and sighed.

"Your Majesty, if the Qin State is willing to borrow troops, it will be a good thing for us, why should the king reject it." Fan Ying asked.

"I didn't say no, it's just that this matter needs more consideration." Xiong replied perfunctorily, got up and motioned to Rui Xuan, and then went out together, leaving Fan Ying alone to stop talking.

The empty Fanying Palace was even more deserted, the cool breeze blowing in the autumn blew the pale green veil in the palace, and a pair of sad eyes stared at the figure who walked out of the door, not angry or complaining, just looking at it gloomily.

The bear couple hurriedly returned to the platform of the dwelling to watch the recital, because the matter of Shimen Cliff had been delayed for a long time, and Rui Xuan was on standby at the door as usual. Time passed, there was only darkness in the dungeon, I don't know if it was day or night, the bear couple borrowed the butter lamp, I don't know how long I watched the recital.

Among them, the performance of the doctor Su Cong attracted his attention: "Enlighten my king, Song Gong, Chen Hou, Wei Hou, Zheng Bo, Xu Nan, Cao Bo, Zhao Meng alliance in Song New City, revisit the alliance of practicing the soil, Zhao Meng dominates the alliance, recognizes the hegemony of the Jin State, and destroys the foundation of my Mu King, but this time Cai Guo did not participate, saying that he is still attached to Chu." In the alliance, Chen, Zheng, and Song were ashamed of the meeting of Meng Zhu, and now they are willing to join the Jin; In addition, the eldest son of Duke Wen's wife, Zhao Meng of Jin intended to gather 800 princes' troops, about 60,000 people, to help Jie Jiang, the second son of Duke Wen, to replace him. Zhao Meng's behavior is unrighteous and unjust, and he is nameless, it is the time when the Chu State is doing the Tao, and Wei Chen has the courage to suggest: The Chu State sent troops to help the State of Chu seize and hold the throne, which will definitely make the countries look at it differently and correct the prestige of Chu! I hope my king will adopt it. ”

Qi Jiang is the princess of Qi State, and she gave birth to her eldest son, and it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the eldest son succeeding to the throne, but the side room of Duke Wen is Jin Ji, the princess of Jin Kingdom, and gave birth to her second son, Jie Jiang, who was not satisfied and succeeded to the throne, so she went to the Jin State to ask for Zhao Meng's help. The son is precious by his mother, if it is the era of Qi Huan, Qi Jiang's status is undoubtedly the highest in the harem, no one dares to threaten the throne, but now it is not what it used to be, and now the strength of the Jin State is far greater than that of the Qi State, in the same year, Zhao Meng led the chariot of 800 times to quell the civil strife of the Zhou Dynasty and support the King of Zhou Kuang, which further established the prestige of the Jin State, and the countries have succumbed to the Jin State, so Jie Hua went to the Jin State to help seize the throne, and no one in the court dared to say no. Zhao Meng wanted to use force to show the strength of the Jin State to the world, which was a naked provocation to the Chu State.

Su Cong is an old minister, but he is still as enthusiastic and loyal as he was when he was young, and the bears admire and appreciate him. His recital is concise and affectionate, conveying his unwillingness and resentment towards the Jin State to replace the status of the Chu State, and offering plans to get involved in the politics of the State of Chu to strengthen the prestige of the State of Chu and show the behavior of the grass on the wall of the countries. His suggestion is not impossible, it is just a good way to contain the Jin State, but the domestic situation of the Chu State has not yet stabilized, the Jin State wants to gather 800 times the army of the princes to attack the State of Yi, there are Douke rebels in Chu, and there are Qunshu rebels outside, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the strength to resist the alliance of the princes, or to be considered. The bear couple walked out of the dungeon to breathe, and it was good that his father left him a good weapon, but he also had to have an army to use it, and he needed an army to quell the chaos, an army to be strong, and an army to diplomacy...... The key lies in the army.

Xiong Lu was in front, and Rui Xuan followed him: "Rui Xuan, is Peng Meng still in the Jin Kingdom?" ”

"Return to my king, he will return to Chu tomorrow."

"Well, let him see me tomorrow."

"No."

The next day, Peng Meng was summoned into the palace, on the corridor, only to see a group of women pushing the bears into the hall, there was a familiar back in that group of women, Peng Meng was in a trance, and when he looked at it, Lang Zhong, who was guarding the door, stopped him......

Peng Meng explained to Lang Zhong and showed the summoning letter before entering the harem. When he came to the harem, there was no woman left by the bear's side, and he was the only one left.

"Peng Meng, it's been a long time, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The bear couple was very happy to be reunited with him after a long absence.

Peng Meng knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, it took me a little time to enter the harem just now, and I ask my king to bear with me." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, I've already prepared a table for you, come and sit down." Xiong Lu pointed to the seat opposite the chess table.

"Thank you, my king."

"You're okay in the Jin Kingdom."

"All is well, how is my king in the palace?" Peng Meng asked with concern.

"It's still in our hands, what news do you have in the Jin Kingdom?"

Peng Meng showed a worried look: "Cai Guo, Zhao Meng wants to take down Cai Guo." ”

Zhao Meng took advantage of the beginning of the new king of Chu State, the court situation was turbulent, and the northern forces were rapidly eroded, Xiong Lu remembered that Cai Guo did not participate in the Xincheng Alliance, and had been attached to Chu State, if he did not help Cai Guo later, it would really be a negative heart for Cai Hou.

"I see." Xiong Lu sighed: "Presumably you have heard Rui Xuan talk about the turmoil that happened in the Chu State. ”

"Yes, I don't know what my king's countermeasures are, the ministers must be full of liver and brains, and they will not dishonor the king's order!"

"That's what my heart is, you need an army no matter what you do, and that's exactly what I want you to do."

"Your Majesty, please say that the minister will not fail in his mission!"

"It's worthy of being a good man in my big Chu! I want you to go to the country of Qi and borrow 400 soldiers and horses for my use. ”

Four hundred soldiers and horses is not a small number for the Qi State, about 30,000 soldiers and horses, almost all the central soldiers and horses of the Qi State, and Qi Zhaogong Jiang Pan has just died, and his son Qi She took the throne not long after, Qi Zhaogong's younger brother Jiang Shang tried to misbehave, and the Qi State was also in dire straits.

"I know it's hard for you, but listen to me, you borrowed troops on the grounds of Lianchu to resist the Jin, and the benefit that this king gave to the Qi State was to help the prince of the State of Qi seize and succeed to the throne and restore the prestige of the State of Qi; Moreover, in order to usurp the throne, Merchant Jiang will definitely help you lend you the army and drain the military power of the central Qi country. ”

The key to borrowing troops from the Qi State lies in the name of borrowing troops and when using the troops, as long as it is before the Jin State attacks the State of Qi, or when the State of Qi attacks, you can let the soldiers of the State of Qi stand by for yourself.

"Command!" Peng Meng arched his hand.

"I don't have a suitable general now, and I don't worry about others, so I can only rely on my own strength to borrow before I don't have my own army."

"The minister understands my king's mood very well, but the minister heard that Qin Guo and Pan Taishi have helped you find the army, why do you ......?"

Regarding Fan Yu, Xiong Lu didn't want to say much, Pan Chong: "I can't get used to Pan Chong, this old man." ”
