Qin was the big donor who gave the most money to his secretary and doctor. Guo Kai got a lot of money from the Qin people, and he had long been in contact with the envoys of the Qin State.

The envoys of the Qin State first threatened Guo Kai, saying that they would tell the King of Zhao about Guo Kai's money from the Qin State.

Although King Zhao knew well about Dr. Zhao's taking of Qin's money, Guo Kai was different from other doctors after all.

The other doctors either have status and status, or they are talented and meritorious, and King Zhao can only endure it when he knows that they are not loyal enough.

Guo Kai's current status is all based on King Zhao's favor, once King Zhao's trust in Guo Kai is reduced, there will definitely be countless Zhao Guo's close servants who want to take Guo Kai's path and are equally despicable, like jackals, tigers and leopards, pounce on Guo Kai and bite Guo Kai to pieces and replace him.

After scaring Guo Kai, the envoys of the Qin State comforted him again: "The Zhao State is already sunset, and the afterglow is not long. Why didn't Guo Qing join Qin as soon as possible? ”

Guo Kai's heart was immediately moved, and he pretended to be distressed and said, "I have the heart to join Qin, but will the King of Qin treat me well?" ”

The envoy of the Qin State said with a smile: "Since the Qin State entered the Qin Dynasty, the world's talents have gathered in Xianyang, and the King of Qin naturally looks down on Guo Qing, who has not yet established any merits. Of course, it's not that Guo Qing is not good enough, it's just that Guo Qing didn't have the opportunity to show his talent before. ”

Guo Kai first showed a look of displeasure, and after listening to the supplement of the envoys of the Qin State, his face slowed down.

The envoy of the State of Qin continued: "But now it is different, Guo Qing is the favored minister of King Zhao, and he has the opportunity to display his talents. ”

The envoy of the Qin State only said this, and then only smiled at Guo Kai, without pointing it out.

Beads of sweat appeared on Guo Kai's forehead.

Of course, he knew what the envoys of the Qin State meant. This display of talent is definitely not for him to assist King Zhao well.

After the envoys of the Qin State left a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, they quietly left Handan.

He didn't make any demands on Guo Kai, nor did he really threaten Guo Kai with Guo Kai's acceptance of bribes from the Qin people.

"Why threaten? Guo Kai is a stupid man who only knows the drill camp, as long as he is still a favored minister of King Zhao, it is enough to quickly lead the Zhao State to destruction. Lin Zhen sat on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a bowl of decoction and medicine, "The medicine is warm, drink it quickly." ”

Zi Chu, who was infected with the wind and cold, gave Lin Zhen a resentful look.

Zi Chu's body has always been very weak, and after becoming the king of Qin, he has to be sick for a period of time every year during the winter.

After digging out the hot spring, Zichu went to the hot spring every year to spend the winter, and his health barely improved. Now that the Qin State has re-dispatched troops, the King of Qin can only sit in Xianyang City by himself.

Fighting a war requires the allocation of resources from all over the country, and even if Lin Zhen and Cai Ze can do this, Qin Zichu can't let them do it.

The power of the King of Qin could only be in the hands of the King of Qin alone.

Zichu and Ying Xiaozheng have the same character, they always don't like to drink medicine when they are sick, and would rather eat some home remedies than avoid mouths.

Who makes the medicine too bitter, and you must avoid drinking the medicine?

After the Empress Dowager Huayang lost her grandson, she began to care about her son's body.

She often looked at Zi Chu's face in a daze, saying that Zi Chu looked very much like the first king when he was young.

If you get a little fatter, it's even more like.

Zichu knew that the Empress Dowager Huayang missed her father deeply, and she had always hung a portrait of her father in the bedroom, so she let the Empress Dowager Huayang look at him to miss her father.

The Empress Dowager Huayang went there many times, and she found out that Zichu secretly did not listen to the doctor's advice.

The queen mother has no ability herself, and the only thing King Qin Renwen taught her was to find someone to help her and listen to someone's advice when she wanted to do something.

After thinking for a while, she immediately found Lin Yi.

Although Xun Qing is Zi Chu's teacher, and Cai Ze's official position is higher than Lin Zhen's, Lin Zhen is the one who can dance drunk and dance hand in hand with Prince Chu of Qin in Xianyang Palace, and she believes that Lin Zhen can persuade King Qin to drink medicine.

Sure enough, after the Empress Dowager Huayang notified Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen immediately entered the palace with the Empress Dowager Huayang's edict and told Prince Chu of Qin that he would not leave the palace before King Qin recovered from his illness.

Now Lin Zhen personally feeds Zichu medicine and supervises Zichu's daily meals.

Zichu wants to cry without tears, Lin Zhen, what are you not good at learning, why do you learn Zhu Xiang!

He thought that if Zhu Xiang was not in Xianyang, he would not be forced to drink medicine.

Zi Chu swallowed the bitter medicine with difficulty, stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth, and said vaguely: "We have planted the seeds in Guo Xingxing that if he does not listen to Qin Guo's words, he will fall out of favor from King Zhao, even if he knows that Qin Guo will not necessarily fulfill his promise, he will not dare to bet." ”

Lin Zhen asked people to take away the medicine bowl, and instructed the chef to make a little barbecue for King Qin today, and then continued: "If he informs King Zhao of the words of the envoys of Qin, he will give false information to Qin together with King Zhao." After Zhao is destroyed, the king can give him an official position. ”

The current Guo Kai is like the former Lou Chang.

Lou Chang was a favorite minister of King Zhao Xiaocheng, and he also took a lot of money from King Qin, provided intelligence to Qin State, and dragged Zhao State back several times.

But Lin Zhen did not despise him.

Because Lou Chang is just not capable enough. King Zhao knew about his collection of money from Qin, and he often discussed with King Zhao how to give false information to Qin, and inquired about Qin's information from Lou Huan.

It's just that Lou Chang's skills are superior and he brought Lou Chang into the pit.

If Guo Kai can be like Lou Chang, he can be regarded as worthy of King Zhao's love for him.

After Zi Chu swallowed a few candied fruits and poured another glass of water, his distorted expression became calm: "If he will inform King Zhao of this, after the Qin State destroys Zhao, the widow will not be able to see him." ”

Hearing that Zichu also called himself a "widow" in private, Lin Zhen knew that Zichu was angry.

He was very helpless: "Your Majesty, why do you have a temper similar to that of Zheng'er?" ”

Zi Chu glanced at Lin Zhen and scolded: "You forced the widow to drink medicine, but the widow is the king of Qin!" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Dang, you see, I have the decree of the Empress Dowager Huayang in my hands." If you haven't been the king of Qin, why do I need this? Just find a few people to hold you down and dome. ”

Zichu angrily threw the cup and smashed Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen dodged sideways, looked at the shards on the ground and said, "Be careful, this porcelain is precious." A piece of porcelain can buy a high-ranking official of the six countries. ”

Zi Chu didn't speak, and continued to pick up the things that he could reach and smash Lin Yi.

Lin Zhen dodged them all.

When Cai Ze came to King Qin with the papers, he looked at the mess all over the place, and his face sank.

Prince Chu of Qin and Prime Minister Lin Zhen immediately sat down with serious expressions and entered the state of work.

The palace people also immediately poured out of their hiding places, quickly cleaned the ground, and brought chairs to Sangkook.

"After Meng Qing invited the war, veterans such as General Wang Ji and General Sima Jin also invited to fight." Cai Ze didn't bother to pay attention to what the two of them were doing before, and got straight to the point.

Prince Qin Chu was puzzled: "Wang Di? Sima Jin? Didn't the two of them just get sick? ”

Cai Ze said: "It was because of their illness that they went to the book together and wanted to return to the battlefield." ”

Cai Ze pinched his eyebrows and said, "When Meng Qing set out on the expedition, he told them that he didn't have much time and didn't want to die at home. They seem to be moved. ”

Prince Chu of Qin was silent.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Go, go, go." The old general's last wish, how can the widow not be satisfied. ”

So the prince of Qin, Chu, issued an edict and ordered Wang Ji to be the deputy general of Meng Fu and Sima Jin to be the deputy general of Lian Po, and escorted the logistics baggage to join Meng Fu and Lian Po.

At the same time, Bai Qi asked the prince to fight.

Facing the persuasion of the crown prince and Changping Jun Zhu Xiang, Bai Qi said indifferently: "Li Mu and Wang Jian still have many opportunities to go to the battlefield, and I only have this one chance." Do you want Wu Anjun Bai Qi to be unknown for more than ten years after the death of King Qin Zhaoxiang? ”

Prince Zheng and Changping Jun were silent, and then ordered Wu Anjun Bai to be the main general and prepare for the battle in Southern Chu.

Chapter 222: Zhang Liang said the king of Chu

Southern Qin began to mobilize logistics, seemingly preparing for war, and the Southern Chu State got the news, but did not pay attention to it.

Li Mu went south to train every year, Zhang Ruo and Meng Wu were also greedy, and often in the name of hunting, they went south to the mountains to find some Baiyue barbarians to practice.

After Ying Xiaozheng became the prince of Qin, although he was only the county guard of Wu County, if Zhu Xiang was sealed, he also had the right to mobilize the armies of the three counties.

He asked the troops of the three counties to rotate, and took turns to take Li Mu to take the troops south for training.

Seeing this, Wang Jian also got involved, and from time to time he left the three passes of Dabie Mountain and went to the southern Chu country of Chu to go around and train his troops.

Occupying the Jianghan Plain and the Dabie Mountain Trade Road, it is so hard to be self-sufficient.

The Southern Chu State and the Chu State were initially uneasy when Southern Qin frequently mobilized troops. The nerves have been strained for a long time, as if they have shouted "the wolf is coming" too many times, and now they will inevitably relax.

Moreover, the Qin State has already started a war with Korea and the Zhao State on both sides, where will the troops and food come from to start a war with the Chu State?

Unbeknownst to them, after the continuous development of the Jianghan Plain, the Yunmeng Plain (the ancient name of the Lianghu Plain, namely the Dongting Lake-Honghu Plain), the Pengze Plain (Poyang Lake Plain), and the Yangtze River Delta Plain, 30% of the swampy and barren grass and miasma have been turned into rice fields.

Although it is only thirty percent, it is enough to make the three places of Southern Qin self-sufficient, and it can also feed back to the Qin State.

The large number of displaced people from Chu and the Vietnamese prisoners of war plundered by Li Mu in the south supplemented the youth and strength of the three places of Southern Qin, and the Southern Qin army was also sufficient.

Wang Jian and Li Mu went east and west, and had already rebuilt the city destroyed by Xiang Yan on the north bank of the Yangtze River. A large number of Chu people who were forced to move north quietly returned to their hometowns.

When Ying Xiaozheng was supporting Zhu Xiang to defend the city, he saw a place where Xiang Yan exterminated the hometown of scholars, and collected a lot of family heirlooms that had not been completely burned.

After Zhu Xiang drove Xiang Yan and the Southern Chu army away, Ying Xiaozheng ordered the Qin army to collect as many books as possible from the burned scholars' former residences, and give handers rich rewards.

These books were copied by the students who followed Zhu Xiang, classified and archived, and placed in the newly built city according to the original territory, and posted notices for the scholars returning from the south to come and collect them.

Ying Xiaozheng's hand is exquisite, even if the Chu family on the north bank of the Yangtze River who was originally hesitant does not come back, they will send someone to see if Qin Guoguo has collected his family's heirlooms.

Even though some families have perished, there are still a few friends and relatives.

They went south to look for the relics of their old relatives, and when they saw that the Qin people had preserved not only bamboo slips and wooden slabs, but even ancestral tablets, they couldn't cry, and kowtowed in the direction of Qin Prince Zheng and Changping Jun Zhu Xiang in the east.

Southern Chu Jun and Chu generals burned their ancestral halls, but the Qin people helped them protect the last traces of the clan's existence. Their reverent hearts wavered.

The king of Chu is mediocre, the Southern Chu State is a rebellious country, and the people of insight in the Chu State are very disappointed in the Chu State, but they have always been bound by the word "Chu people".

The benevolence and righteousness of the Qin prince's benevolence to the Chu scholars made them return to the Qin prince's government and were willing to go south to the Qin prince's government.

As for Zhu Xiang, he has already divided the land in Tuntian on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After the Southern Chu State was established, it was immediately necessary to give a large amount of land to the meritorious heroes, so as to make this rebellious country that had split from the Chu State stable.

After several man-made famines, the land of yeoman farmers was annexed, and a large number of Chu people either became tenant farmers or fled south.

It's just that the Yangtze River is a moat, and not everyone has the courage.

When Xiang Yan destroyed the original forces on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the Qin State used Guangling City as a base to radiate and completely control the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Chu people did not need to cross the Yangtze River moat when they fled south.

As a result, several cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River are no short of young and strong laborers.

The north bank of the Yangtze River is twice a year. In the past year or two, all the cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass. Ordnance workshops and textile workshops were also set up, and work was in full swing every day.

The Qin soldiers quietly transported grain from various cities and gathered, obviously not far apart, but the Southern Chu State was unaware.

Bai Qi has come to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

This time, Wang Jian went all the way alone, and Meng Wu made Bai Qi a deputy general.
