Ping Yuanjun followed Chun Shenjun's words and reviewed the history of Zhao Chu's many combinations, but the few times they were connected had serious consequences. Historical experience has proved that the cooperation of princes is the necessary condition for the tranquility of the world. At this time, the princes should unite to fight against the Qin army.

Chun Shenjun responded, fully agreeing with the suggestion that the princes should join forces as soon as possible, the strength of the Qin army is no longer something that any country can fight alone, and only by uniting can we resist the strong Qin.

Pingyuan Jun immediately announced that King Zhao had sealed Chun Shenjun with Lingqiu. Lingqiu is where the mausoleum of the former king Zhao Wuling is located, and it is a sacred place in Zhao State.

Chun Shenjun immediately changed his appearance and avoided the table and thanked him!

The above is negotiated, and the rest is a negotiation between the guests. A Chu man asked, if Chu went north to aid Zhao, where would it come from? Zhao and Chu do not border, and the most direct way from Chu to Zhao is through Wei Liang. However, Wei seems to be very wary of Chu, after all, he and Qin are now separated from Korea, Qin is not a direct threat, and the powerful Chu State is almost under the nose of Han and Wei, and the army can reach Daliang and Zheng in a few days, so these two countries are very sensitive to Chu's every move.

The terms of the confluence were stuck on this issue, and the negotiations stalled. Pingyuan Jun sent people to secretly consult the King of Wei and Xinling Jun whether they could allow the Chu army to pass through the suburbs of Daliang and rescue the Chu State, but they were unanimously opposed. Ping Yuanjun's entourage coordinated with Chen and Liang, who were constantly in contact, and secretly persuaded Ling Jun to agree, but to no avail! Pingyuan Jun had no choice but to make a suggestion to let the Chu State take the Qi State to rescue Handan. The two sides discussed this issue for a long time, and finally the two sides reached an agreement that the Chu army would assemble in Suiyang after the autumn, and then take the road of the old Song State to Handan.

When it came to the old Song State, Chun Shenjun proposed that he could occupy Tao County of Qin State to contain the Qin army, and even attract the Qin army besieging Handan to help. But Pingyuan Jun disagreed, thinking that it would take time and effort to capture Tao County, so it was better to bypass it and go straight to Handan City! The two sides argued for a long time about this.

In the end, the two sides finally finalized the route of the Chu army's march: to the north along the road between Song and Lu to avoid diplomatic disputes......

The arduous negotiations lasted for almost a month, and it was still early summer when they left Handan, and it was already the height of summer, and the sweltering heat in the south made these northern men, who were accustomed to the bitter cold, very uncomfortable.

After getting Chun Shenjun, the matter has been calculated as more than half successful, and the rest is to make an oath in the official meeting with the King of Chu! It's just a formality.

In order to be able to form an alliance with the Chu state, Pingyuan Jun made a great concession, acquiescing that the Chu state could occupy the land of the former Song state, which was absolutely impossible before, and it would upset the fragile balance between the vassal states. But now, the balance has been broken, the Qin State has flourished, and the Zhao State has fallen to the brink of extinction, and the belonging of the Song State is no longer important!

Of course, those women also played a subtle role, so that those guests had little motivation to deal with Chu Guo. Those controversial things, blowing wind on the pillow, if it doesn't matter, forget it, come on the other party's terms!

After making such a concession, Pingyuan Jun is confident that in just a few words, he can make the King of Chu grateful and make an oath!

According to Chun Shenjun's arrangement, the meeting with the king of Chu would take place two days later. In these two days, you can relax to your heart's content......

Two days passed quickly, and the king of Chu announced that he had received the envoys of Zhao.

When Pingyuan Jun entered the temple, he saw that the three animals, wine, blood and other things for the oath had been prepared outside the hall, and his heart was also very peaceful.

But to Pingyuanjun's surprise, after Pingyuanjun's impassioned speech, the king of Chu was expressionless, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he did not look at Pingyuanjun.

Pingyuanjun asked Chun Shenjun with a puzzled look, and Chun Shenjun showed a wry smile. Pingyuan Jun didn't know what he meant, so he had to state his opinion to the king of Chu over and over again, urging the king of Chu to swear an oath with Zhao. But the king of Chu just didn't say a word, his face was expressionless, and he didn't move. And Chun Shenjun didn't say a word beside him, which made Pingyuanjun very helpless.

But the matter has come to this point, and he and Chun Shenjun have already negotiated, how can he give up halfway because of the situation of King Chu. Pingyuan Jun did his best to settle the destiny of heaven, and continued to say those nonsense constantly, but he didn't expect that from morning to noon, the king of Chu just didn't talk, and by noon, it seemed to be a fake sleep!

Pingyuan-kun completely lost his confidence, and he didn't know what to do!

The people outside the hall also wondered, why did they not call themselves sacrifices after such a long time? After standing for a long time, I was tired and looked wilted. And those who served in the temple were also in poor spirits, although they were still standing upright, but they were also strong spirits.

At this moment, a figure swept up the steps, and by the time everyone reacted, the man had already rushed to the temple. In the exclamation of everyone, the king of Chu opened his eyes and saw a young man with a long sword at his waist appearing in the palace, it was Mao Sui. Mao Sui said to Pingyuan Jun: "From the benefits and disadvantages, two words will be decided." Today is out of the way, the day is not decided, why not? ”

The king of Chu was unhappy with this unceremonious questioning tone, and for the first time in the whole half of the day, he spoke and asked Pingyuan Jun: "What is the guest?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "It is the winner of the house." ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he shouted at Mao Sui: "Stand down!" I say to you, what are you doing! ”

Mao Sui pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, took another step forward, and said in a deep tone: "The king's command is also the people of the Chu country." Today, within ten steps, the king must not be afraid of the people of the Chu country, and the king's order is in the hands of the county. My lord is in front, who is the one? “

When the king of Chu saw that Mao Sui was pressing himself violently, and the people around him were obviously difficult to rush over, he only turned pale in shock, and his eyes looked straight at Pingyuan Jun.

Mao Sui said loudly: "Fu Sui heard that Tang is the king of the world with a land of seventy miles, and King Wen is a prince with a land of a hundred miles. Today, the Chu place is 5,000 miles, holding a million halberds, and the capital of this overlord is also. With the strength of Chu, the world can be done. Bai Qi, Xiao Zhuzier, led tens of thousands of people, Xingshi to fight with Chu, one battle and raise Yan Ying, then fight and burn Yiling, three battles and humiliate the king's ancestors. This resentment of the centuries is ashamed of Zhao, and Wang Fu knows evil. The follower is Chu, not Zhao. My lord is in front, who is the one? ”

Pingyuanjun hurriedly played a round and said, "Sir, don't be surprised by the king!" ”

Chun Shenjun, who had been silent all morning, also opened his mouth and said, "Sincerely, Mr. is also the word!" ”

When the king of Chu saw that Chun Shenjun had spoken, he also said: "Only only, if Mr. is honest, I will obey the society." ”

Mao Sui said: "From the determination? ”

King Chu said: "Fixed." ”

Mao Sui shouted to the outside of the hall: "Take the blood of chickens, dogs, and horses." ”

Immediately the people outside the temple entered the temple with blood in their hands. Mao Sui stepped down the steps, took the copper plate, and rushed into the hall like a whirlwind, knelt in front of the case of the king of Chu and said: "The king should be determined by blood, the second is my king, and the second is then." ”

King Chu looked at Chun Shenjun, then stretched out his hand and dipped it in blood, wiped it on his face, and said, "Chu and Zhao Meng, join forces in the world, and fight the Qin army together!" This oath! ”

Pingyuan Jun also wiped blood on his face, and said: "Zhao Gongzi Pingyuan Junsheng, I would like to join forces with Chu Alliance to conquer the world and attack the Qin army together!" This oath! ”

Mao Sui also wiped blood on his face, and said: "The minister swears that he will serve the king as a person, join the world, resist Qin, and have no regrets even if he dies!" ”

After the three of them finished the oath, Mao Sui held the plate in his left hand and the nineteen people under the stairs with his right hand: "The public should also be in the hall with this blood." ”

The doormen also came and swore blood in turn. After everyone was bloody, Mao Sui whispered to them: "The public is busy, and the so-called people who do things because of others are also!" "Choked the crowd in amazement.

After everyone was bloody, Chun Shenjun sang and praised: "After the oath is completed, the king of Chu will retreat!" ”

The Plains Monarch avoided the table and bowed: "Congratulations to the king!" The king of Chu got up, saluted slightly, and went behind the screen.

After the king of Chu left, Chun Shenjun reproached: "What is the urgency of your intentions! And to my king with a sword? ”

Pingyuan Jun also said to Mao Sui in a reprimanding tone: "Sir, why are you in a hurry! ”

Mao Sui said: "The minister has no form, and when he sees that things are not harmonious, he will be angry!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Don't say what happened, don't admonish it, and don't blame the past." No more in the future! ”

Mao Sui said: "Be careful! ”

Chun Shenjun sent someone to send Pingyuan Jun and his party back to the mansion, and turned around to see the king of Chu himself.

Entering the apse, the king of Chu was meditating in the hall with his eyes closed. Chun Shenjun didn't bother, and sat quietly and waited. After a long time, the king of Chu spoke: "How does the father teach?" ”

Chun Shenjun said: "For Wang Heye!" ”

The king of Chu said: "He He? ”

Chun Shenjun said: "Form an alliance with Zhao Hezong!" ”

King Chu said: "My father is widowed, why? ”

Chun Shenjun said: "Poor and watch its changes!" ”

King Chu said: "Zhao Qi has changed? ”

Chun Shenjun said: "Zhao has changed completely, and there is no other change." ”

The king of Chu said: "Father will fight with the Qin people? ”

Chun Shenjun said: "No, the minister will fight for Chu!" ”

The king of Chu said: "Ying, Wan, and Ye are all obtained by Qin, and Chu will also fight with Qin!" ”

Chun Shenjun said: "This is the will of the princes. In the dispute between Qin and Zhao, the princes took profits, so the princes did not want the two to marry each other, and they did everything they could to leave. Fortunately, Zhao Wangyou couldn't bear the anger of the moment, and the whole country fought with Qin, resulting in the disaster of Handan. Chu and Handan mountains and rivers repaired, Qin Zhao was injured, and Chu had nothing to gain. Yes, he must ask for it. ”

The king of Chu said: "What will the father ask for? ”

Chun Shenjun said: "The country of Lu, the country of a thousand times, although it is small, it has the power of the world." Destroy Lu and have all the Huaisi land, the west peeps into the Song, the north is in Qi, all have a map. ”

King Chu said: "Take advantage of Qin's weakness and return to the homeland, isn't it appropriate?" ”

Chun Shenjun said: "No. Ancient Ying, Nanyang, the land of the four stops; The blue wisps of the Xichu Road are to open the mountains and forests, and to protect themselves according to the four stops. Today, with the strength of Chu, it should be based on the world. Although Ying's old capital, it can be left alone. And Chu and Qin, the two strongest in the world. The two powers compete for the benefit of the princes, not the interests of Chu. It is to go out to the east, and not to the west. ”

King Chu said: "The father is in charge, and the widow has nothing to do!" ”
