When the news of Xiang Liang's crossing of the river reached Jiangbei, those who were afraid of Zhang Han regarded him as a savior. One day, Lu Chen was discussing in Chencheng's mansion, when suddenly Wang Zhi's family came to report that Lord Wang Zhi had committed suicide by going on a hunger strike when he returned home. When Lu Chen heard this, he said to everyone very painfully: "Lord Wang went on a hunger strike because he didn't protect the king!" The reason why the king was defeated so quickly was because Qin Jia's kid didn't come to the rescue. I heard that the king's temperament became irritable, and it was also from hearing that the kid killed Wu Pingjun, and later became suspicious of everyone, which caused the people of Chu to be disheartened and finally defeated. Now we should go out to attack Qin Jia and avenge his thirst for killing! After saying that, he asked people to take some money and give it to Wang Zhi's family first, telling him to go back to bury his master, and then discuss the matter of raising troops with everyone.

Lu Chen's father, Lu Qing, heard that his son was going to send troops to attack Qin Jia, so he rushed to Lu Chen and said, "You have a bad idea to destroy the country!" Lu Chen listened to his father's words and exclaimed, "What is my father's opinion?" Lu Qing said: "Donghai County is hundreds of miles away from Chen City, and the art of war says, 'Attacking an enemy thousands of miles away may not be able to win.'" Besides, although Zhang Han has left here, he is not far from here, if he comes to attack Chen Cheng again, you will be finished? In one sentence, Lu Chen was convinced. Lu Qing said again: "Recently, I heard that Xiang Liang has crossed the river to the north, you should get in touch with him as soon as possible, and then deal with Zhang Han together, this is the best policy!" Lu Chen felt that his father's words were very reasonable, so he immediately sent someone to the southeast to inquire about Xiang Liang's news.

Qin Jia killed Wu Pingjun and established himself as the Great Sima, and later found out that the king of Zhang Chu was indeed dead, so he wanted to establish himself as the king of Chu. But I was afraid that others would not accept it, so I never made up my mind. At this time, two people suddenly came, one of them was Ning Jun, and the other was named Gongsun Qing. It turned out that after Ning Jun helped his uncle and grandson Tong persuade Wei Bao to capture Fengyi, he came to Dongyang County. There is a friend in the county, named Gongsun Qing, who is very eloquent, but because of his average appearance, he did not come out to seek an official. Once, a physiognomist looked at him and said, "Mr. is a ghost, if he becomes an official, he will definitely be able to leave a name in history." But if you don't have a bad face, you will have a bloody disaster. If you want to live your life in peace, please be a hermit with a pure heart, right? Gongsun Qing heard this, thought about it, and sighed: "The eldest husband should make contributions and make a name in history when he is born in heaven and earth!" How can you live in seclusion in obscurity? He let go of his inferiority complex and took the initiative to come to Ning Jun to talk about life, and the two talked very speculatively. At this juncture, there happened to be news from the city that Qin Jia was going to prepare to establish himself as king, and the two of them summed it up and prepared to come to see Qin Jia, wanting to make a difference in politics.

On this day, the two came to see Qin Jia, and after the meeting, Ning Jun first said: "The general's righteous deeds are really admired from far and near, but since ancient times, the king has been established, but he must be cautious, and he must be ...... when he thinks about things" Qin Jia interrupted Ning Jun's words and said: "You can talk when you speak, and if you fart, you will fart, don't be crepe, you don't understand the ball!" Gongsun Qing saw that Qin Jia was a rough person, and there was no need to pay attention to literary rhetoric, so he said bluntly: "If the general establishes himself as the king of Chu now, the ending will be the same as that of King Zhang Chu!" Qin Jia saw Gongsun Qing's narrow forehead and flat head, convex cheeks and concave nose, short stature, and ugly appearance, and he didn't like it in his heart, but now when he heard him say such unlucky words, he immediately became angry, and said: "You madman, you have just arrived, you dare to talk nonsense, what is your intention?" Gongsun Qing laughed. Qin Jia felt inexplicable and asked, "Fanatic, why are you laughing?" Gongsun Qing smiled: "I'm here to persuade the general not to be king, what can you do to make you so angry?" Qin Jia said: "Okay, just tell me why you can't be the king?" If it doesn't work for me, I'll cut off your head! Gongsun Qing then talked eloquently: "There are three reasons why you can't be called the king: First, the state of Zhang Chu has just been defeated, and the people only know that there is a king of Zhang Chu, but they don't know that there are other kings of Zhang and Li. If you are king, the people will not support you. Second, although King Zhang Chu is dead, but his subordinates have not dispersed, if someone calls them up again, their combat effectiveness is still very strong, if they once they ask you for the guilt, you will not be in trouble. Third, your territory is very small, and you have no foundation, once you become king, you will inevitably attract Zhang Han's attack first. For these three reasons, is it dangerous for the general to become king? ”

After hearing this, Qin Jia was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Although what Mr. said is reasonable, but I have no reputation, if I want to raise an army against Qin, what name will I use to call on the people?" Gongsun Qing said: "The general's concerns are correct. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and Chu was the most wronged. In the past, King Chu Huai died in the Qin State, and the people were very sympathetic to him. However, King Zhang Chu did not appoint his descendants, but called himself king, which was to use the name of Zhang Da Chu to seek personal interests for him, so it could not last long. Now, if the general can conform to the will of the people, proceed from the wishes of the people of Chu State, and visit a descendant of the king of Chu, the situation will be very different! Qin Jia felt that what Gongsun Qing said was very reasonable at this time, so he accepted the suggestion and said happily: "Sir's words are indeed reasonable, I don't know the reason, and I am disrespectful to Mr., so now I ask the two of you to stay and act as my advisors, right?" Ning Jun and Gongsun Qing stayed. Qin Jia then sent people to search for the descendants of the king of Chu, and at the same time inquired about the news of Zhang Han.

But after a long time, Qin Jia never visited the descendants of the king of Chu, and only visited a descendant of a nobleman of the Chu state. This person's name is Jing Ju, and he is the grandson of Jing Yang, a famous general of Chu State. Qin Jia had no choice but to establish Jingju as the king of Chu and set the capital at Tancheng. Qin Jia assumed the post of Shangzhu State and commanded all the soldiers and horses. The king of Xinchu named Ning Jun as Ling Yin, and Gongsun Qing as Situ. Zhu Jishi, Ding Ji, Dong Wei, and Zheng Bu were generals. Kong Fan and Kong Long are the captains. He also divided other officials, occupied Donghai County from then on, justifiably called up soldiers and horses, and raised the banner of anti-Qin, which was the third king of Chu after Chen Shi and Xiangqiang.

Qin Jia wanted to seize Surabaya County after supporting Jingju in Tancheng and calling it the queen of Chu, at this time the news of Xiang Liang's northward journey also came, Qin Jia thought that Xiang Liang was the son of Xiang Yan, and with his influence, Surabaya County would be captured by him, and the people of Chu would respond to him, so he hurriedly said to the king of Xinchu: "Now that Zhang Han has destroyed Zhang Chu, he is very arrogant, and he will definitely attack Surabaya County." Surabaya is very close to us, so let's take it instead of letting Qin capture it. The king of Chu said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of Shangzhu Kingdom." Qin Jia said: "After you became the queen of Chu, the hearts of the people have not yet been attached. Qi, Wei, Yan, Zhao and other countries may not recognize your honorific title, so let the ministers conquer the land to increase their strength first, so that they can keep pace with the princes. Recently, the Malay newspaper said that a person named Liu Bang killed the county guard of Surabaya County, so there must be no one to manage Surabaya County. The new king said: "Aiqing's decision is very correct. When Ning Jun heard this, he said to Shangzhu Guo: "I heard that Xiang Liang will definitely pass through Surabaya when he goes north, and we should take the initiative to contact him." Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, and with his fame, Chu Di will soon be pacified. These words just touched Qin Jia's sore spot, and Qin Jia said: "Now Zhao State and Wang Li are holding each other in the north, Wei Qi and Li You are facing each other in Linji, but Zhang Han defeated Zhang Chu, and his arrogance is flourishing, how can our Chu State deal with Zhang Han without strong foreign aid?" If we form an alliance with the Qi Kingdom, our power will be strong. As for Xiang Liang, although he is behind the general, after all, he has just started his army, how can he start a battle with the Qin army? After listening to Qin Jia's words, the King of Chu also felt that it made sense, so he echoed: "Yes, it is right to form an alliance with the Qi State. However, we don't have any contact with the Qi State, how can we form an alliance? At this time, Situ recommended himself: "I am willing to send an envoy to the State of Qi, and I am willing to lobby Chu and Qi to form an alliance with my incorruptible tongue to jointly deal with Zhang Han!" Qin Jia was very happy, so he asked Gongsun Situ to immediately send an envoy to the Qi State.

Gongsun Situ set off on the same day, and he worked tirelessly all the way to Linzi City. At this time, the Qi State had already occupied Jiaodong, Langxi, Jibei and other counties, and was already a big country in the East. The king of Qi feasted and drank with his ministers every day, and regarded himself as the founder of the country. Government affairs were handled by his younger brothers, Tian Rong and Tian Heng. After Gongsun Qing came to Linyan, he walked straight to the palace, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he was about to enter the palace, but the officials guarding the door saw Gongsun Qing and refused to report it. Gongsun Qing theorized for a long time, but the officials still refused to report, and not only that, but also asked for bribes. As soon as Gongsun Qing had an idea, he rushed directly into it, and then shouted loudly: "I want to see King Qi, if you don't report for me, you will lose your head if you delay a major event!" King Qi was having dinner with his beloved concubine at this time, and when he heard the shouting, he asked very unhappily: "Who is shouting?" Someone reported: "Great King, there is a man who claims to be Situ of Chu State, and he wants to see you." We think that the state of Chu has been destroyed by the state of Qin, where did Situ Li come from? Therefore, he did not report it, but he insisted on seeing you, and he could not stop you. King Qi thought about it and said, "Let him come in!"

When Gongsun Qing saw Queen Qi, he said loudly: "Situ of Chu State pays a visit to King Qi!" King Qi didn't raise his head, glanced at Gongsun Qing from the afterglow, and asked coldly, "Hasn't the State of Chu been destroyed by Zhang Han?" Gongsun Qing replied: "How could the state of Chu die?" If a Chu king is gone, there will be thousands of Chu kings, and victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, so what's so strange about losing the battle now? I am now on the order of the King of Chu to discuss the plan with the Qi State, and I am ready to deal with Zhang Han together! When King Qi heard this, he said contemptuously: "Let's discuss the plan!" Let me ask you, how is your battle? Gongsun Qing replied: "The state of Chu sent troops to attack in four directions, and Zhou Wen's army once entered the Hangu Pass and almost killed the state of Qin!" The King of Qi asked again: "Listen to you, has the State of Chu already captured Emperor Qin?" Guanzhong already belongs to Chu? Gongsun Qing said sternly: "That's not true." However, although the Qin State is tyrannical, there are indeed many people in the temple, and there are many people who can fight like stars. In addition, Guanzhong is a place of shape and beauty, it has the danger of Kunshan and Hangu Pass in the east, Longshan Mountain as a barrier in the west, Weishui as a moat in the north, and Huashan Mountain as a periphery in the south, known as 'one hundred and two Qin Pass', so the powerful Qin State can not be eradicated in a short period of time. King Qi smiled: "You have been talking for a long time, it turns out that it is all nonsense!" I heard that Chencheng has been captured by the Qin State, and your King of Chu is also dead, why is the Chu State still not admitting defeat? ”

Gongsun Qing was not surprised, so he continued: "Great King, 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu will die. Chu took the lead in revolting again, and the heroes of the world all looked up to the name of King Zhang Chu, as for the opening of the army to see the battle, and the occasional defeat, this is not an uncommon thing, but now Zhang Han is still very rampant, it is because Chu, Qi, Wei, Zhao, and Yan can not do a good job of combining the column, so that the Chu army is alone in the depths and suffered defeat. Despite this, only the state of Chu can still compete with the state of Qin, how tenacious is the state of Chu? Why did the king say that the state of Chu did not admit defeat, where did we lose? King Qi suddenly changed color and said: "Chen Sheng is dead, but you are here to pretend to be Situ of Chu State, hurry up and let me out!" Gongsun Qing was not discouraged and continued: "If one Chu king falls, there will be countless Chu kings who will stand up!" The common people have already established Jingju, the grandson of Jingyang, the clan of Chu State, as the king of Chu, and the national honor of Chu will not be broken, and the banner will not fall. In the near future, the State of Chu will definitely enter Guanzhong again! ”

When the king of Qi heard this, he felt inexplicable, so he asked, "What? What? What did you say? Jingju became the king of Chu, where did Jingju come from? Who made him? Why don't you come to the Qi Kingdom for instructions and just set up a king? Gongsun Qing asked rhetorically: "The king set himself up as the king of Qi without asking the state of Chu, why did the king of Chu ask the king of Qi?" What's more, the State of Chu took the lead in attacking, and it should command the world! King Qi was furious, pointed at Gongsun Qing and scolded: "You stinky nerd, you dare to contradict the widow!" Around! Push it out and cut it! Gongsun Qing was pushed out by the guards.

It happened that the doctor Wu Lan came to the gate of the main hall for something, and when he saw that the warriors were tying up a person and preparing to cut off his head, he shouted: "Keep people under the sword!" Wu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation, and saw that it was Situ of the Chu State who was tied up, so he hurriedly entered the palace and said to the king: "The minister heard that Qin Jia has supported Jingju as the king of Chu, and the capital is in Tancheng, which is true." Gongsun Qing is indeed the Situ of the Chu State, if he is killed, it will cause discord between the two families, and the Qi State and the Chu State have no hatred in the first place, why did the king kill the Situ of the Chu State who came to form a good knot? King Qi said angrily: "What bullshit King Chu? The widow has not yet acknowledged him? Look at the strength of that thing just now, it's really infuriating! "Let people beat Gongsun Qing out with a stick.
