What Jing Chou didn't want to admit but had to admit was that he was afraid.

Bai Qi's power is not only reflected in the Battle of Changping, but Bai Qi ravaged not only the Zhao State, but also the Chu State!

Bai Qi is a common nightmare of the monarchs and nobles of the Chu State.

What was Bai Qi doing when he was eighteen?

He has just been in Rong for three years, and he is still serving as a 500 lord in the army!

It wasn't until he was in his thirties that Bai Qi finally led the troops for the first time as a commander.

The current Ying Cheng Chan is naturally far inferior to Bai Qi, but this year's Ying Cheng Chan is only eighteen years old!

Compared with Bai Qi, Ying Chengchan's debut time was a year later, but a lot of worthless time was omitted.

After more than ten years of training, it is entirely possible for Ying Chengcheng to become the next white starter!

And compared with Bai Qi, Ying Chengcheng is more trusted by King Qin, and there is no worry about hindrance behind him, so he can let go of his hands and display his talents.

Thinking that more than ten years later, the State of Chu might face a Bai Qi who was deeply trusted by the King of Qin, could mobilize the power of the entire Great Qin, had no lower limit, and had no bottom line, Jing Chou's heart trembled.

Now that he has the opportunity to make friends, how can Jing Chou let it go?

Xiong Qi said helplessly: "It's not that this son is unwilling to help Jing Moao lobby. ”

"It's really impossible for Chang'anjun to agree to Jing Moao's request."

Jing Chou said in a straight voice: "This official is willing to marry the eldest granddaughter of this official, is my Jing family's concubine still worthy of Chang'anjun!" ”

From the perspective of identity alone, Jing's concubine and Ying Chengcheng are the right wife.

After all, the rights of the nobles of Chu are very great, and the status of the concubines of the Jing family is not inferior to the concubines of the Chu royal family.

Jing Chou thinks that he has shown great sincerity.

Xiong Qi explained seriously: "The two brothers, Qin Wangzheng and Qin Changanjun, seem to be very resistant to marriage. ”

"The Empress Dowager Huayang has proposed many times to ask Qin Wangzheng to marry the queen as soon as possible, but Qin Wangzheng has refused."

"Empress Dowager Huayang, Qin Wangzheng and Mrs. Han, the mother of Chang'anjun, have all persuaded Chang'anjun to marry many times, but they have also been rejected by Chang'anjun."

"So it's not a question of worthiness, it's that Chang'anjun doesn't want to marry a wife!"

Jing Chou was surprised.

Both Ying Zheng and Ying Cheng refused to marry a wife?

What's going on with these two brothers?

Isn't it that these two brothers, like King Wei Anjiao and Long Yangjun, don't like women, and only seek the good of Long Yang?

Xu saw Jing Chou's thoughts, and Xiong Qi added softly: "Qin Wangzheng and Chang'an Jun also have no male favorites. ”

"There are different opinions as to why these two men refused to marry a wife, but it is very difficult to achieve this."

"If the Jing family can really marry a daughter to Chang'an Jun as his wife, Qin Wangzheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang will give a generous gift to thank the Jing family!"

"If the Jing clan really intends to befriend Chang'an Jun, they can choose other methods instead of choosing the strategy of marrying a daughter."

"With Chang'anjun's temperament, even if he takes the Jing family's daughter, he will not necessarily stop fighting!"

Xiong Qi's meaning is very clear.

Even Yingzheng and Empress Dowager Huayang can't advance the slightest thing, why should Jing's advance?

It's such a difficult thing, don't think about it.

Jing Chou said quietly: "This official naturally knows that befriending Chang'anjun is not only a strategy for marrying a daughter. ”

"But this official thinks that Chang'anjun at least won't pour gold juice on his father-in-law's head, right?"

Xiong Qi: ......

Xiong Qi was speechless.

Even if Ying Cheng Chan takes Jing's daughter, Ying Cheng Chan will still be ruthless and fight with all his strength against Jing's family.

But at least it shouldn't be so disgusting!

Jing Chou was still unwilling to give up this condition, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke again: "The eldest granddaughter of this official can be the young concubine of Chang'anjun. ”

"So, is it possible?"

Jing Chou made great concessions.

Young concubine is a general name for the princes' eldest concubines and noble concubines.

But no amount of beautification of the title can change the fact that this is a concubine!

As the concubine of the Jing family, it is already humiliating to be a concubine!

Xiong Qi frowned: "Why is Jing Moao like this?" ”

"And Chang'anjun not only refused to marry a wife, but also never took a concubine."

"If Jing Mo Ao is so determined...... Xiong Qi pondered for a moment and said in embarrassment: "This son can lobby on behalf of the Jing family!" ”

Jing Chou immediately gave his hand: "Thank you, Gongzi!" ”

"Please also tell Chang'anjun that my Jing clan has shown the greatest sincerity, if Chang'an Jun is still unwilling, it is not sincere to reconcile with my Jing clan."

"My Jing clan will not only order the 20,000 private soldiers in the city to defend the city, but also call the 20,000 private soldiers outside the city to defend the city, and will also recruit 30,000 private soldiers in Gusu to reinforce Shouchun City, and will also lobby other nobles to increase their troops together!"

Jing Chou said solemnly: "Since Chang'an Jun is forced to slaughter the city, my Jing clan should die to repay it!" ”

Xiong Qi returned the salute: "This is the responsibility of this son, and there is no need to thank him." ”

"However, if you want to communicate with Chang'anjun, you still need Jing Moao's help."

Jing Chou said without hesitation: "This matter is handed over to Jing." ”

Xiong Qi continued to speak: "In addition to the official affairs of the Qin State, this son also has a private matter with the help of Lao Jing Mo Ao. ”

Jing Chou said boldly: "Childe can be blunt!" ”

Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "The world is chaotic, the war is raging, and those who have lost this battle are all my great Chu disciples." ”

"Every time my son sees the world conquering, he can't bear it."

"Therefore, this son persuaded Chang'anjun hard, and finally found Chang'anjun's bottom line."

"This prince intends to go to the king and persuade the king to reach peace with the Qin State!"

Jing Chou pointed out: "In this matter, Gongzi should talk about it first." ”

If Xiong Qi first went to negotiate with the King of Chu and reached a peace agreement with the King of Chu, then Xiong Qi would not need to negotiate with Jing Chou, let alone match Jing Chou and Ying Cheng.

Xiong Qi said with a smile: "Business is a public matter, and private affairs are a private matter." ”

"How can this son abolish his public because of private affairs?"

"And how the king decides is not up to your nobles?"

"My son came to find the scene first, Mo Ao discussed, how could it be out of order?"

After a pause, Xiong Qi added: "And if Jing Moao can say a thing or two for his son in the court, I want to come to Chang'anjun and feel Jing Moao's kindness!" ”

Xiong Qi showed his kindness wave after wave.

Jing Chou laughed loudly: "Childe is really famous." ”

"How can we influence the king's decision?"

"Of course, peace is also what we want."

"This official will also lobby the clan leaders to jointly advise the king!"

Xiong Qi happily bowed his hand: "Thank you!" ”

Under the call of Jing Chou, a group of aristocratic leaders who left the city wall under the pretext of leaving the city wall reunited in Shouchun Palace when it was getting late.

Chu Wanghan, who had just patrolled the city defense and personally encouraged the servants to repair the city defense against flying stones, was very tired.

But a group of nobles came together, and the king of Chu had to come forward to deal with it.

Sitting on the top of the main hall, the king of Chu asked in a deep voice: "What is the matter with you Aiqing here?" ”

Jing Chou was the first to come out and bowed: "Your Majesty, I heard that the wall of my Shouchun City cracked in less than a day under the attack of the Qin army's flying stones. ”

"Dare to ask the king, is there such a thing?"

Chu Wang Han didn't know why Jing Chou suddenly mentioned this matter, but Chu Wang Han knew that Jing Chou's purpose was definitely inconsistent with him.

Therefore, the king of Chu did not answer and asked: "Aiqing, is this the intention to recruit the Jing clan to repair the Shouchun city wall?" ”

"Or do you have the intention to conquer the private soldiers to defend Shouchun City?"

Chu Wanghan did not fall into the trap of Jing Chou's question, but put forward a multiple-choice question for Jing Chou.

Jing Chouyun skipped this question lightly: "The minister naturally has the heart to do his best for the country, but the Jing family is really powerless. ”

"The minister thinks that Shouchun City can't hold out for too long, the soldiers and horses of all clans are outside, and there is a lot of turmoil in the food and towns, and it is difficult to send troops."

"Instead of continuing to fight with the Qin State, it is better to seek peace!"

The king of Chu said coldly: "In the past, it was Jing Moao who was the first to send troops. ”

"Today, Jing Moao is asking for peace again?"

"Jing Mo Ao Mo doesn't regard war as child's play?!"

Jing Chou said apologetically: "The minister knows that he is wrong! ”

"The minister originally thought that the number of troops was enough to repel the Qin army, and even seize a large number of the territory of the old Wei."

"However, the minister never expected that the battle situation would be so unfavorable, let alone that there would be traitors within my Great Chu!"

"Excuse me!"

If the patriarch of the Qu clan is not in the city, the Qu clan has no right to refute.

Zhao Cen and other nobles surrendered their hands one after another: "The ministers have also advised to send troops, and the ministers ask for guilt!" ”

A group of nobles stepped forward together and put pressure on the king of Chu.

We will advise us on the dispatch of troops.

If you want to dispose of it, you will dispose of it together!

Chu Wang Han really wanted to dispose of these nobles together, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

If the punishment is heavy, these nobles will definitely make noise and move, and there will be many twists and turns.

If the punishment is light, it shows the weakness of his power.

Chu Wang Han could only say in a deep voice: "All of your Aiqing's advice is out of good intentions for the country. ”

"The widow forgives you Aiqing is not guilty."

A group of nobles naturally bowed their hands together: "Thank you, the king!" ”

Jing Chou bowed again: "The minister admonishes again, my Da Chu should make peace with Qin!" ”

"Now that the Qin envoy has gone outside the main hall, please see the king."

The king of Chu has no heart.

But whether it was because of the established rules, or because he didn't want to completely anger the Qin State, the king of Chu could only bow his head: "Please envoy Qin!" ”

Soon, an unexpected and reasonable figure walked into the main hall.

Chu Wang Han looked at Xiong Qi with complicated eyes: "Third brother, it is you who are the envoy of Qin." ”

Xiong Qi smiled warmly: "Eldest brother, the highest official position in Shouchun City in the Qin State is the younger brother. ”

"And the younger brother is not only the prime minister of Qin, but also the third son of Great Chu."

"My brother saw that the Qin army and the Chu army were fighting to the death, with heavy casualties, and his heart was uncomfortable."

"Brother wants Qin Chu to get back together more than anyone else!"

"Therefore, my brother tried every possible way to persuade Chang'anjun, and finally got a chance for peace!"

King Chu bowed slightly: "The third brother has a heart." ”

With a bow, Xiong Qi's voice turned solemn: "Great Qin Xiangbang and Changping Junqi pay a visit to the King of Chu!" ”

"As long as the State of Chu cedes the territory north of Yingshui and severely punishes the traitor Xiang Yan, the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu can be repaired again, and there is no gap!"

Jing Chou immediately echoed: "King, exchange the land of several cities for the retreat of the Qin army, why not!" ”

Chu Wang Han said without hesitation: "The land of the few cities that Jing Moao said contains my great Chu hometown!" ”

"How can a widow let it go lightly!"

Xiong Qi said seriously: "The foreign minister thinks that what Jing Moao said is very true. ”

"What about the old capital?"

"After the state of Chu rests and recuperates, he can take the city again."

"Just giving up a few cities can make Qin and Chu unite and save the soldiers of Chu from death, this is a great goodness!"

"The foreign minister invites the king of Chu again, think twice!"

The king of Chu asked rhetorically: "My great Chu army has arrived outside Xinzheng City, can the king of Qin sleep in peace?" ”

Xiong Qi also asked rhetorically: "My Great Qin former army has cracked the city wall of Shouchun City, can the King of Chu sleep in peace?" ”

The truce is beneficial to Ying Chengcheng, and he can solve the danger of Xinzheng City.

The truce is also beneficial and harmless to the clans, and the clans, especially the Jing clan, can reduce the losses of private soldiers in this battle.

But the truce has both benefits and disadvantages for the king of Chu.

The siege of Yingcheng Chan's troops can help the king of Chu to weaken the hard power of the Jing clan, and then complete the operation of killing three soldiers with two peaches through the uneven reward after the war.

The king of Chu can even use this battle to eliminate dissidents, establish authority, grasp military power, and promote cronies...... and a series of purposes.

As long as Xiang Rong can break through Xinzheng City, or Xiang Yan can come back in time, the King of Chu will not lose money!

Chu Wang Han knew that he was gambling.

But compared to the slow death caused by the necks of the nobles, Chu Wang Han is more willing to put life and death and the future on this great opportunity!

Persuasion was fruitless, Xiong Qi walked out of Shouchun Palace with a group of nobles in a calm mood.

Watching dozens of knights gallop out of Shouchun Palace on horseback, Xiong Qi knew that this was the herald sent by King Chu to summon Xiang Yan to come to his aid.

Seeing these heralds go away, Xiong Qi sighed softly: "How could the eldest brother be like this!" ”

"The eldest brother is so stubborn, how can the Chu State prosper!
