After Bai Zhong entered the door, the man handed over a bamboo slip.

"Our people have been prepared in Shouchun City, and the attack on Huaishui has also been clarified, and it was done by the people of the Zhao clan."

The man spoke first.

But he still missed a little bit, and he didn't find Wu Shu's head.

The content on the bamboo slip is about the result of the assassination.

"The Zhao family, one of the four major families of the Chu State, within the Chu State, there are indeed people who oppose the cession of land and the pursuit of peace."

Bai Zhong was not surprised by this result.

The man said: "Among them, the one who doesn't want to cut the land the most is still Qu Shi!" The area of Qingyang is the fiefdom of the Qu family. ”

During this period of time, Bai Zhong learned about Qingyang and other places, it was the location in Changsha, which was indeed within the scope of Qu's fiefdom, and it was strange that Qu would agree to cut a large piece of his fief for no reason.

"In addition, the Zhao clan does not agree, they are the main battle, and they want to start a war with our Great Qin."

The man continued.

Bai Zhong remembered that when Qin destroyed Chu in the future, the three families of Qu Jingzhao were still the reason for the destruction of Chu.

They control most of the military rations, materials, and even power of the Chu State, and they forget about the small family, although they have given the Chu State a certain amount of help in the early stage, but in the later stage, Qu Jingzhao's three families think that the Chu State will be defeated and refuse to provide grain and grass.

The only one who really killed the enemy desperately for the Chu State was Xiang Yan's family of the Xiang family.

According to the news that Bai Zhong has obtained so far, it is a little different from the one in history, because the Jing clan sued for peace, the Zhao clan and the Qu clan fought the main battle, and the Xiang clan did not express his position, perhaps it was the trajectory of history, and it had not yet developed to the time when the Qu Jing and Zhao clans gave up the Chu State at the same time.

"Is there a fight between them?"

Bai Zhong asked again.

"Over the past few years, there has been a lot of struggle."

"There is a lot of debate around whether or not we should make peace."

"The King of Chu was sandwiched between them, swaying from side to side, but in the end he was more inclined to the Jing family."

"Because the grain that the Jing clan can provide is more abundant than that of the Qu clan and the Zhao clan."

The man explained.

It was precisely because of this that soon after Jing Yu asked people to go back and spread the word, the king of Chu agreed to let Bai Zhong lead his troops into the city.

The power of the four major families can even influence the decision of the king of Chu.

In fact, the state of Chu was destroyed, and Chu was weak and Qin was strong, and if you want to talk about other reasons, there are probably institutional rigidity, losing opportunities for change again and again, people's hearts are not aligned, major families have their own ghosts, nobles are in charge, and royal power is in the air, etc.

Bai Zhong understood about it, and asked again: "On the martial arts field, among the thousand Chu army, are there any people from the Black Ice Terrace?" ”

"There are two of them!"

The man continued: "When the Great Commander is in the Chu State, they will always follow him, even if they go to take over places west of Qingyang, they will follow, we have a special method, they will not be discovered, please rest assured that the Great Commander." ”

Since there are people, it's good.

The arrangement of the Black Ice Platform is indeed very awesome!

"Pay attention to hiding, if there is any new news, let those two send it to me."

Bai Zhong didn't ask him who those two people were.

As a high-level spy and agent, exposing one's identity is death, even if it is contact with Bai Zhong, it may be exposed, so reduce all kinds of contact as much as possible.

"Yui!"

The man bowed.

Bai Zhong left here and returned to the martial arts arena without realizing it.

Ying Shu asked, "How?" ”

"All well!"

Bai Zhong hugged her, lay down beside Xiao Yu, and said softly, "Rest." ”

Ying Shu blushed and nodded slightly.

——

It's dawn.

Bai Zhong got up and led the troops to practice.

The neat ranks and military appearance of the Qin army appeared in front of the thousand Chu troops.

Chu Jun saw that Qin Jun's momentum was like a rainbow, neatly aligned, and then looked at himself, he was embarrassed to look at it, there was no harm if there was no comparison, the gap was still too big.

After the exercise, I had breakfast.

Bai Zhong stayed in the martial arts arena and waited, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't see anyone come to invite him into the palace to see the King of Chu, it should be that they were arguing internally, and he didn't bother to care too much, anyway, he was in charge of eating and living here, and if he wanted to leave, he could kill it, so he didn't care about this.

Soon it was noon.

Jing Yu asked people to bring some wine and meat, Bai Zhong only kept the meat, asked people to take the wine away, and then distributed it to all the Qin soldiers, and after it was stewed, some soldiers brought a portion to the tent.

"Awn, there's a strip of cloth here!"

Xiao Yu just picked up a piece of meat and found that the cloth was pressed underneath the meat.

Bai Zhong took it and looked at it for a while, it should be the news that the two people gave him, and it was written that the king of Chu was hesitant, and the Zhao and Qu clans suggested that they be driven out of Shouchun and not accept the arrival of the envoy of the Qin State.

"It didn't go well."

Baek Joong handed it to Young-sook.

"Aren't we going to wait?" Yingshu didn't want to wait too long here.

She wants to go back to Xianyang to get married.

Bai Zhong said: "It shouldn't be, the king of Chu asked us to come, which means that he is more inclined to sue for peace, the Jing clan will win, and he should be able to summon me into the palace tomorrow." ”

"I hope so."

Ying Shu casually threw the strip of cloth into the stove and burned it to ashes.

——

The next day.

It was almost noon, just as Bai Zhong guessed, Jing Yu really came, saying that he was inviting Bai Zhong into the palace to see the King of Chu.

"General Bai, I'm sorry, there were other things delayed yesterday."

Jing Yu said apologetically.

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "I can understand, let's go." ”

Walking into the palace of the king of Chu and coming to the main hall, Bai Zhong saw that there were many people sitting here, except for Xiang Yan, who had met once, no one else knew him, the king of Chu was sitting on the main seat, and Bai Zhong's position was arranged in the second place.

"I've seen the king."

Bai Zhong stepped forward, and according to etiquette, he still had to be polite.

He said with a smile on his face: "General Bai doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Bai Zhong sat down and asked directly, "May I ask the king, how about the peace?" ”

"It's already noon, let's have a banquet first, and then talk about business."

He really didn't plan to discuss the matter, so he clapped his hands and let people serve the food.

Bai Zhong understood that they were delaying, there should be no substantive results today, and the internal struggle in the Chu State was not so easy to end, so he could only be polite to each other, eating, drinking, and having fun.

During this period, there were also a few people who looked at them with a kind of hatred.

What they hate is not Bai Zhong as a person, but Bai Zhong's identity and the country behind him.

Bai Zhong didn't care at all if he couldn't see that, he ate what he should eat and drink.

The feast ended quickly.

The negative did not give any substantive results, as if he invited people to Shouchun first, giving Qin a feeling that Chu really wanted to seek peace, whether it really wanted to cede land and seek peace, Chu still needed to continue to discuss, if he could, he could not directly drive Bai Zhong away, or even kill him.

Bai Zhong believes that the land will be ceded in the end, but the murderous intention will also be moved.

As long as Bai Zhong is dead, it will be the victory of the main battle faction.

The Qu clan and the Zhao clan would not allow the Qin State to cede the west of Qingyang.

Jing Yu reluctantly sent Bai Zhong out of the palace gate, and said: "Please also ask General Bai to wait, this matter is a bit complicated, the elders of the family are fighting for it, the king invited General Bai to Shouchun, and he will definitely satisfy the general and Daqin." ”
