Chapter 13: The Envoy of the State of Qi



Purple You Pavilion to the west of Pengcheng, the palace of the king of Chu is located here, although it is not to talk about the extreme desire of poverty and luxury, but it also has a charm, ten steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, the defense is extremely tight,

The imperial study of the heart of the heart is located in the east of the palace of the king of Chu, called the Donghua Palace, where three thousand elite Chu troops are stationed, guarding the king of Chu twenty-four hours a day, although the state of Chu has been stabilized at this time, and the forces of all parties are gradually stable, but the heart will still be very worried, and the Xiang family will take the opportunity to attack themselves.

It can be said that after the first battle of Dingtao, Xiang Liang died in battle, and he was worried that Xiang Yu would be difficult to control, but after moving the capital, Xiang Yu was dropped by thunderous means, and Xiang Zhuang and Lu Chen's military power firmly grasped the army in his own hands, but he was worried that Xiang Yu would not give in, so he left Liu Bang's soldiers and horses and let him garrison Dangjun.

This suggestion was also put forward by Chen Ying, it stands to reason that Chen Ying was pulled up by Xiang Liang, his heart should be towards the Xiang family, but Chen Ying is an open-minded person, he is not right about people, Xiang Yu has a good attack, the attack will be broken, the battle will be won, it is indeed a rare general, but Xiang Yu kills too much, every time he attacks the county, he will more or less slaughter the people and Qin soldiers, and because of this, Chen Ying does not advocate letting Xiang Yu control the military power,

It is also Chen Ying's side knock that has caused today's Xiang family's power in Pengcheng to be empty, but he knows very well in his heart that although the army in the hands of the Xiang family has been recovered, the land in Jiangdong is still in the hands of the Xiang family, and it is not easy to get it back.

In order to prevent the Xiang family from secretly attacking themselves in order to regain military power, he ordered that outside his imperial study, there were 3,000 troops stationed outside his imperial study to protect his own safety.

At this time, Karma Xin had already consulted a few books and gave instructions on some of the government affairs of Donghai County, Karma Xin felt exhausted, he stretched his waist, got up and paced in the house,

The sun was shining outside, and the birds were chirping in the branches,

Spring should be a cheerful season, but in the heart of the heart, but it is extremely heavy, if you are just worried about the Xiang family, the heart of the heart is not so hard, but the powerful Qin State and the Chu State are close to each other, Zhang Han has 400,000 troops to guard Aocang, which makes it inevitable that there will be an inevitable war between Qin and Chu, but when the war will come, no one can predict,

Xiang Liang Dingtao was defeated, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, and all the grain and grass were all lost under the Dingtao City, although there is still surplus grain in the treasury for the army to eat, but once faced with a big war, the grain and grass will be insufficient.

He looked out the window and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, at this time, an attendant slowly walked into the main hall, beside him, and arched his hand: "King, Lord Chen is here,"

His heart was interrupted in contemplation, and he looked back at the chamberlain, and ordered, "Let him in,"

The waiter nodded and walked out, and after a while, Chen Ying hurriedly walked into the main hall, came to the side of the heart, and said respectfully: "King, you are looking for me,"

Seeing Chen Ying coming, Jin Xin couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "Looking for you, there are some things I want to discuss with you, come, let's sit down and talk,"

Karma Xin walked back to the soft seat and sat down first, at this time, Chen Ying also sat down opposite Karma Xin, after a short thought, Karma Xin said: "I have been very worried about the Qin army in Xingyang these days, the 400,000 army, and the victorious army, spring is blooming, they will definitely consider going south, Pengcheng is located in the plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the shortage of money and food is also something that we urgently need to solve at the moment, I want to hear your opinion,"

Seeing that he was worried about this matter, Chen Ying couldn't help but smile dumbly: "King, you may not know that Zhang Han already wanted to march north half a month ago, and I also sent people to investigate, and found that their target was actually Zhao Guo,"

"Zhao State," Qian Xin also looked extremely surprised, Zhang Han actually abandoned the Chu State that had just been defeated, and went north to conquer Zhao State, what the hell is going on,

As if seeing the doubts in his heart, Chen Ying laughed and waved his hand: "Does the king want to ask why Zhang Han went north?"

"Well, why did he give up on Vachu and go north instead," Jin Xin also expressed the confusion in his heart,

"The king asked well," Chen Ying praised with a smile, got up and wandered in the hall for two steps, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, until he walked to the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside, the strong spring mood, people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "Another year has passed,"

Xin Xin didn't seem to hear what Chen Ying was saying, and said in surprise: "What will Lord Chen say again,"

"Hehe, it's nothing," Chen Ying smiled awkwardly, then walked back slowly, and said word by word: "I think Zhang Han seems to be afraid of Xiang Yu,"

Slightly surprised, he couldn't help asking, "Why is that?"

"I have heard people mention that Xiang Yu fought in Dong'e, killed Zhang Han and abandoned his armor, and even the army couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly fled to the west, so Xiang Liang was able to triumph all the way, advance to the west, and approach Puyang, and then turned to Dingtao, and suffered a defeat, although Zhang Han defeated Xiang Liang, but he was a little afraid of Xiang Yu after all, so this time they will suddenly go north," Chen Ying's words were dumbfounded, not to mention that Zhang Han was afraid of him, even himself, seemed to be afraid of Xiang Yu,

When he was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking, Chen Ying smiled coldly: "Since Li Liang took refuge in Zhang Han, he gave a good Handan to Zhang Han first, Zhang Han has such a big city as the foundation, how can he not strive to go north, one sentence to raze the Zhao State, the Zhao State will die, Zhang Han will inevitably annex the Yan State, and then go south, by that time, Zhang Han has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, his strength has increased greatly, and the generals are brave, why worry that the Chu State will not be destroyed,"

Chen Ying's words were in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Then what should we do, promote Xiang Yu?"

"No, since we have seized Xiang Yu's military power, we have no way back, besides, Xiang Yu's murderous spirit is too heavy, it is not easy to control, sooner or later he will be invited to counterattack, I think, the king might as well admit the identity of the king of Wei Bao Wei, and allow him to use thousands of soldiers and horses to make him go north to recover Wei, contain Zhang Han, and become the foreign aid of the Chu State, so that Zhang Han will not be able to go all out to fight // Attack the Chu State,"

As soon as Chen Ying's words fell, Qian Xin nodded and smiled: "This plan is very good,"

Jin Xin looked at the attendant standing at the entrance of the hall not far away, and ordered: "Go and find Wei Bao for the widow,"

The inner attendant sang Nuo and left, and at this time, Chen Ying said again: "Zhao State suddenly encountered the Qin army, it will be defeated, if it is not as I expected, the envoy of Zhao State will come in the next few days,"

"With Lord Chen's opinion, should we go north for reinforcements," asked Shan Xin,

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the king doesn't have to hesitate, you can send troops to reinforce, otherwise the Zhao State will die, and after the Qin army will destroy the ocean, the north, the hateful worries, and the Wei State will not be a big deal," Chen Ying said with a smile, at this time, the heart of the heart said: "Since it is inconvenient to use Xiang Yu, we might as well transfer Liu Bang and go north for reinforcements, how,"

"King, although Xiang Yu is violent and unbearable, his younger brother Xiang Zhuang is a rare general, why don't you consider Xiang Zhuang as the king,"

Chen Ying suddenly mentioned Xiang Zhuang, and he couldn't help but think of last year, Xiang Zhuang called on Chu Min for himself to win people's hearts, this person can indeed be reused, just when Xiang Xin secretly decided, when he had time, he must talk to Xiang Zhuang, a waiter walked in quickly, and arched his hand beside Xiang Xin: "King, Wei Bao is here, waiting outside the palace,"

Cunning Xin nodded and said with a smile, "Bring him in,"

The inner attendant sang the promise, turned around and went out, at this time, Chen Ying also returned to his position and sat down, at this time, Wei Bao hurriedly walked into the main hall under the leadership of the inner attendant, he hurriedly came to the front of the inner body, and arched his hand and said: "Minister Wei Bao, I have seen the king,"

"Wei Qing doesn't have to be polite," Wei Xin smiled and waved his hand, Wei Bao thanked him, at this time, an attendant brought a soft mat and pounced on Chen Ying's opposite, at this time, Wei Bao walked to the soft mat and sat down, and his ears had already sounded with a sigh: "The widow remembers, when Wei Qi died in battle, it was still in the autumn of last year,"

Wei Bao was slightly surprised, he didn't know what his idea was, and Wei Bao didn't dare to show his surprised expression on his face, at this time he coughed dryly, hiding his surprise, and only replied respectfully: "What the king said is good, Qin Jun Kou Realm, it is just the autumn harvest season,"

Xin Xin nodded, and said, "Do you want to return to the country?"

At this point, Wei Bao was completely stunned, and on the side, Chen Ying saw Wei Bao's hesitation, and said on the side: "The king wants to give you a chance to restore the country, I don't know if you have the courage,"

Wei Bao shouldn't be hesitating this time, he immediately got up, walked to the front of the Qianxin, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "If the king can give Wei Bao the opportunity to restore the country, the Wei State will always be the Chu Domain, and he will never break his word,"

After a short silence, he finally made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, you can choose to go,"

,,,,,,

Wei Bao and Chen Ying retreated, at this time, there was only one person left in the hall, he first picked up a brush, wrote on a piece of bamboo slip 'about to see Xiang Zhuang' four words, and then put the brush back on the pen stand, then got up and moved, if a person sits for a long time, he will also be very tired,

In the empty hall, Gong Xin walked alone for a while, feeling a lot more comfortable, but at this moment, the chamberlain hurriedly walked in and arched his hand: "The king, Tian Xian, the envoy of the Qi State, has arrived at the palace and asked to see him outside the palace,"

Hearing that the envoy of Qi had arrived, Qian Xin nodded: "Take him to the side hall, the widow will be there soon,"

There are many side halls of Chu State, however, there is only one to meet foreign envoys, at this time Tian Xian was taken to the side hall by an inner attendant, is leisurely tasting tea, since meeting Song Yi, learned that the Chu army is proud and complacent, can not hold for a long time, Tian Xian stopped the pace of progress, waiting in the broken temple for a few days, sure enough, the news of the defeat of the Chu army reached Tian Xian's ears, since then, Tian Xian had to admire Song Yi's vision, but also invisibly, Song Yi had a good impression,

But the dispute between Qin and Chu, Xiang Liang was defeated, there were pro-soldiers everywhere, Tian Xian's road to the south was broken, and he had to be diverted to the south, there were many delays on the road, and he made a detour, so he had to come to Pengcheng in these days.

Thinking back on the hardships of the journey, Tian Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, but at this moment, a guard's shout sounded outside the hall: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived,"
