Chapter 16: Qin and Zhao fight
Huang Xie rushed to the roadside pavilion to sit on the roadside pavilion to observe before Zhao envoy Yu Qing arrived in Zhengcheng. Sure enough, Zhao envoy rolled over. Huang Xie had never heard of Yu Qing before, so he observed him very carefully; And Yu Qing actually looked over here, stretched out his hand and pointed here, causing the Han envoys to also look back. The two sides are not far apart, and although the voice is unpleasant, the movements and shapes are recognizable one by one. The Han envoy probably recognized them as Chu envoys, and he didn't pay attention to them, but only led the Zhao envoy to the city where he stayed.
After seeing Zhao Envoy leave, Huang Xie asked everyone to pack up their things and go to the Qin Envoy together. When he arrived at the city gate, Huang Xie explained his identity, and the doorman reported in, and only came out after a while, saying, "Jingyang Jun respectfully invites Prince Chu and Zuo disciples." ”
Huang Xie and the crown prince entered the city, but the retinue and guards were blocked from the city. Huang Xie had no choice but to let them wait outside the door. A doctor led the two into the main mansion, walked through the courtyard, and without announcement, went straight to the hall. In the hall, Jingyangjun and Hu Yang were there, and they only knelt down and crossed their hands to greet them, and motioned for the two to sit down on the opposite guest seat. The crown prince and Huang Xie saluted respectfully to the two of them, and sat down opposite each other in a proper manner.
Hardly bothered, Jing Yangjun asked directly: "The prince is in vain, he must be taught!" ”
Huang Xie said: "The prince heard that Zhao made Yu Qing to. Ran Chu and Yu Qing have never heard of it. Qin and Zhao, brothers also; With Chu, relatives also. The prince wants to worship, please Yu Qin! ”
Jing Yangjun was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Huang Xie to come up with such a topic. He felt that he was difficult to deal with, so he looked at Hu Yang. Hu Yang replied cautiously: "If the prince wants to visit Zhao Envoy, please ask Yu Dongdao." ”
Huang Xie said: "The prince's worship of Yu Qing is not a major military event, but it is good to be good for Chu and Jin, and he also knows the minister." It may be inconvenient to enter according to Korea. It is entrusted to Qin. ”
Hu Yang nodded silently. Jingyangjun went to the door and ordered a prince to worship the Zhao envoy with a festival, and wait for his convenience, and the Qin envoy and the Chu envoy worshiped together.
Waiting for Jingyang Jun to sit back on the seat, Huang Xie bowed and said: "The ministers are taught by the king, ten strings of pearls, ten stones of water chestnuts, and I would like to offer the queen mother." The day after tomorrow will come. ”
Jingyang Jun said: "King He is very tired! ”
Huang Xie said: "The minister reported to the king, the queen mother is deeply in love with her homeland, and she wants to get Ling and Pei to comfort her heart." The king did not dare to make a mistake, but urgently ordered Yin Chaoxi to supervise it, and he was fortunate to do it today. The king bathed and fasted, and then bowed down. ”
Jingyang Jun said: "The king of Chu is favored, and the ministers and mothers are deeply impressed!" ”
Huang Xie said: "Those who wear pearls are served in boxes, lined with light silk, and wrapped in silk yarn. Ten stones, two boats. If you enter Qin by car, you are afraid that the road is far away and the mountains are dangerous, and it is inconvenient to ride. Please enter Qin with a boat, can it be obtained? ”
Hu Yang said: "The road chasm, through the river into Luo, you can also." From Luo to Hangu, the water rapids are dangerous, and they cannot be crossed. Out of the letter valley, you have to enter Wei, and then go to Xianyang. ”
Huang Xie said: "The minister is less into Qin, and he doesn't know his way. Those who dare to ask for guidance should be guided, and what is appropriate. ”
Hu Yang said: "According to what the minister saw, if you stop at ten stones, you can do it with your husband." Zheng Youshang Jia Tong is in Qin, or he can be consulted. ”
Huang Xie bowed and said: "The foolishness of the minister, fortunately thanks to Hu Qing's opening!" ”
When the two were discussing lively, the doctor who went to Zhao's mansion to make an appointment to meet came back and reported: "Zhao envoy knows that Qin and Chu worship together, and if he doesn't allow it, he waits!" ”
Huang Xie said: "When Zhao envoy first arrived, he had no labor and chaos!" ”
The doctor said: "There may be labor, but there is no chaos." ”
Huang Xie looked at Jing Yang Jun, and Jing Yang Jun said: "Since we have agreed, we will go." ”
The four of them got up. The crown prince and Huang Xie were still the same people as before, and Jingyangjun and Hu Yang prepared a ride and ordered a hundred Qin soldiers to go together. There were no cars on the Chu side, and the prince and Huang Xie were on foot; There were only ten Chu pawns, and they were very inconspicuous in the Qin pawns. Soon, the news of Qin's visit to Zhao's envoy spread in the market.
Yu Qing did not sit in front of the hall and wait like Jingyangjun, but stood at the gate of the city early to wait. From a distance, it was only a car ride away, and I wondered in my heart: Didn't you say that there were envoys from the two countries? Coming in the same car? When the fox was uncertain, the car stopped ten zhang away, two people jumped out of the car, one person held the car, and two people walked out from behind the car, and the three of them walked over together. When he arrived ten steps away from Yu Qing, Huang Xie stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: "Qin envoy Jingyang Junfu and Chu envoy prince finish, I would like to pay homage to Zhao envoy Yu Qing!" ”
Yu Qing had no one else, so he could only respond by himself: "Minister Zhao Keqing Yu, I would like to greet the Qin envoy Jingyang Junfu and the Chu envoy the prince!" The ministers were ordered by the king to enter Zheng to pay tribute to the king of Han. ”
Huang Xie said: "The ministers were all ordered by the king to make sacrifices, and they were fortunate to meet Yu Qing. ”
Yu Qing said: "The minister invites Jingyang Jun and the prince to enter the city." ”
There was no problem for the five people to enter the city, but when Qin Pawn entered the city, he was blocked by Zhao Pawn. Hu Yang led the carriage and walked inside, a Zhao pawn came over to take over the carriage, Hu Yang said: "I wish to invite Qin pawn to enter the city!" ”
Yu Qing stood up when he heard this, and looked at Hu Yang. Hu Yang also stared back at Yu Qing, and the two sides were facing each other there. Qin Pawn wanted to forcibly enter, but Zhao Pawn was not to be outdone, and firmly blocked the door. The doorman saw that Qin Pawn seemed to be about to break in, took out a horn, whined and blew it, and in an instant, Zhao Pawn, who was scattered among the houses, quickly rushed out and gathered in front of the square. The officer at the head immediately saw that the Qin people were going to storm the city gate, and immediately ordered the "city to be closed". On both sides, Zhao Zhao ignored the fact that there were still his own people outside the city gate, and quickly pushed the city gate up and bolted it; others went up to the towers; A few people came over and surrounded all four of them. The other gates were quickly closed.
The development of events completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including Hu Yang and Yu Qing. Huang Xie said to Jingyang Jun on the side: "May you go to the city to appease his people." ”
The officer looked at Yu Qing, Yu Qing nodded, and Jingyang Jun went up to the city and said: "You wait and retreat, we will come out immediately!" ”
Yu Qing shouted: "Open the city gate, please come out!" ”
The city gate opened, and more than a dozen Zhao pawns walked out around the four of them, and then quickly retreated into the city and closed the city gate. Hu Yang's eyes erupted with fire, but he didn't say anything further, and only said to Huang Xie: "It's a humiliation to the mission, and the crime of the minister is also!" ”
Huang Xie said: "So far, so far!" ”
Hu Yang didn't explain anymore, and he Jingyangjun jumped into the car and said, "Rong will be there later!" Ignoring Huang Xie at all, he drove away, leaving behind the people of Chu State, and was in a dilemma.
In order to prevent accidents, Huang Xie took everyone out of the way. Staying alone in the city, he shouted to the city: "Chu Zuo disciple Huang Xie, I would like to worship Zhao envoy Yu Qing!" ”
After a while, Yu Qing in the city replied: "The minister does not dare to insult Huang Gong to come to see him, I hope Huang Gong will return, and the minister should go to see him!" ”
Huang Xie said: "The minister is ordered by the prince of Chu, please see him!" ”
Yu Qing replied: "Since the prince of Chu has his life, the minister does not dare to resign. After speaking, the city gate was opened, and Yu Qing came out. After the two met with a scholarly ceremony, Huang Xie introduced the prince of Chu to Wan, and also met with Yu Qing with a scholarly ceremony. Yu Qing saw that the two Chu people were able to meet each other, and he was surprised, and he pushed the two into the city gate, and then entered the mansion, and promoted to the hall. Sitting down on both sides, after the ceremony, Yu Qing asked: "The second duke is polite, why is he the same as the Qin people?" ”
Huang Xie said: "When the minister heard that Yu Qing was there, he admired it very much, and there was no way to see it. Because of Qin Zhao, the country of brothers is also, please recommend it. Don't risk the war! The sin of the real rest, too. ”
Yu Qing said: "The minister and Huang Gong have met Shao, how can they get a cheap name and be heard by the public?" ”
Huang Xie said: "This morning, the minister and the prince sat on the pavilion together, watching Yu Qing's demeanor, and I was fascinated!" ”
Yu Qing said: "When the minister entered Zheng, there were people on the pavilion who were full of spirits, but the prince and Huang Gong were also!" The three laughed. Yu Qing ordered the fruit wine. A Zhao pawn brought an urn, and the three of them each raised three cases, and presented a plate of dried fruits and a jue of wine, and the urn was placed in the middle of the banquet, and then retreated. The three of them each took a sip of wine and had a good conversation.
Just as he was talking a few words, someone outside the door reported: "Han Xiang, Han Ping, please meet." The three of them had to stop and greet them.
When Han Ping saw Yu Qing coming out, he was about to face the blame, but suddenly saw that Prince Chuchen and Huang Xie were also there, so he had to change his appearance and say: "Yu Qing has just arrived, so why fight with Qin!" …… The prince and Huang Gong are also there? ”
Huang Xie said: "When the minister heard that Zhao was coming, he didn't dare to follow, but he asked to meet." ”
Han Ping said: "Qin Shu and Zhao are fighting under the city, and Huang Gong knows it?" ”
Huang Xie said: "This is all from the ministers. The minister invited to see Yu Qing, but he did not get his door, but he thought of the country of the Qin and Zhao brothers, and asked for introduction. Unexpectedly, it became an enemy country. - The sin of the ministers! ”
Han Ping said: "Fortunately, I have to solve it, otherwise I will ......"
Yu Qing said: "Prime Minister Han, please come into the house!" ”
When Han Ping heard that the Zhao envoy and the Qin envoy were fighting, he almost wanted to fight each other in a short manner, and hurriedly led a thousand Han soldiers to come. Only recently did he realize that there was no dispute, so he quickly and quietly sent back the Han pawn he brought, and came to see Yu Qing alone. After a few promotions, the crown prince and Huang Xie sat under Han Ping's shoulders. After a few words, Han Ping asked, "Why fight with Qin?" ”
Yu Qing replied: "The Qin envoy asked to see him, and the ministers greeted him outside the city, and the courtesy was all lacking,—— Huang Gongqi also testified." If you enter, the Qin pawn will also want to enter, and I will block it. Qin made it impossible to settle down, so a dispute broke out! ”
Huang Xie praised Yu Qing in his heart, and in a few words, he made complicated things clear, and completely cleared his own responsibility.
Han Ping said with a complaining tone: "Qin Zhi's bullying, it is not just a day, who dares to deserve it!" Now that we are all in a row, patience is the highest in all things! If there is a dispute, it will be difficult for the minister! ”
Yu Qing said: "The minister doesn't dare to be Han. If Zhao is the one, the head can be broken, and the qi is unyielding. ”
Han Ping said: "Zi said, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." May Yu Qing check it! ”
Yu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "It's the crime of the minister." Qin asked to see him, and immediately refused, then he could do it! Han Ping also had no choice but to ask Zhao Wang'an and Zhao Difeng routinely. Yu Qing replied one by one. Speaking of Zhao Di, Yu Qing said: "The former, the torrential rain in front of the mountain, the Zhangshui rose into the river, and the river overflowed. Although there was no disaster, the road was impassable. The king prepared a number of products, but they were not allowed to come out, and the prince and the king of the plains were all left to control the water. It is not a fate to sacrifice to Zheng with a multiplier, but it is really a last resort. It is also a sin to disrespect the king of Han! ”
Han Ping said: "King Zhao Hui helps the sacrifice, and Huaide is not afraid to complain." Zhao is worth the water, King Han asked, the people are unharmed, the people are unharmed, the king is unharmed? ”
Yu Qing said: "Insult the king and ask!" The minister returned to the king, although Zhao was watery, the people were unharmed, and the king was unharmed! ”
