Chapter 140: Difficult Situation
Chapter 140
Although he was very tired, Qin Yu still got up early in the morning and then went into the study.
I saw that there was already a roll of bamboo slips on the table, and there were strips of black cloth squeezed on it, indicating that it was information sent by Qin Zhen.
After Qin Yu sat down, he picked it up.
The battle of Zhao Chu has stopped, and even the two sides have completed negotiations.
The state of Chu ceded twenty cities to the state of Zhao in exchange for the truce of the state of Zhao, but the state of Zhao only needed eighteen cities and returned two cities to the state of Chu.
And the two countries of Qi and Tang also negotiated with Chu because of their participation in the final war and the support of Zhao.
It's just that the negotiations between Qi and Tang and Chu are a little difficult.
Tang's appeal was to demand that Chu return all the cities it occupied, and it was obviously impossible for Chu to agree.
As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the state of Chu is now defeated by the state of Zhao, its strength is still above that of the Tang state.
Therefore, it was obviously impossible for the Chu State to agree, and even promised to fight with the Tang State again.
However, it was clear that Tang Guo was unable to fight anymore, so he had to lower his requirements.
In the end, after some arguing, the state of Chu returned the city to the state of Tang in exchange for a truce between Chu and Tang.
Since the State of Chu has chosen to return the Five Cities on the side of the Tang State, the State of Qi has not indicated that it cannot.
The state of Chu did not capture a single city in the state of Qi, so it could only cede the city that he currently owned.
At this point, Chu Guo played a careful mind.
The state of Chu ceded to the state of Qi the four cities that occupied the Tang state and were close to the state of Qi, and at the same time ceded one of its own cities to the state of Qi, so that several cities were completely bordered.
Seeing this, Qin Yu's brows were about to twist into a ball.
He hurriedly got up and went to the map, and pointed out the five cities on the map.
"! This is almost surrounding Cangxian! Qin Yu angrily slammed his fist against the wall.
This trick of the State of Chu is absolutely sufficient, and this completely caused the grievances of the two countries of Qi and Tang again.
The most uncomfortable thing is still himself, although Cangxian County was adjacent to Qi Chu before, but due to the remote terrain, it was peaceful.
But now that the two countries are at war, it will definitely revolve around the question of the ownership of this region.
At that time, Cangxian County is likely to become the main battlefield, which is not what Qin Yu wants to see.
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
"Since I don't want Lao Tzu to be better! Then don't even think about it! β
Now the Cangxian Chamber of Commerce has taken root in various countries, and the Chu State also has the shadow of the Cangxian Chamber of Commerce.
And relying on the sale of food and weapons, it has a certain influence in various countries.
Qin Yu didn't believe it, he relied on the Chamber of Commerce and his own knowledge, and he couldn't make a mess of the world.
The corners of Qin Yu's mouth lifted a wicked smile, but it quickly hid it again.
"Knock knock."
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
I saw Xiao He open the door and walk in, and then said to Qin Yu: "My lord, you have read that information." β
Qin Yu looked at Xiao He, with a spring breeze on his face, and a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao He, tell me what you think."
Xiao He frowned and climbed into the chair, sat on the chair and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable to our Cangxian County. β
"It's impossible to break the game, but it's simple to keep Cangxian peaceful, it costs some money."
"What's the money-saving method?" Qin Yu asked.
Xiao He stretched out two fingers, used money to make friends with Qi State, and used money to buy high-ranking officials of Tang State, so as to ensure that Cangxian County would not be affected too much under any circumstances.
Qin Yu shook his head, "The relationship maintained with money is like a stone in a pit, when it is used, it is a good stone, and when it is not used, it is a smelly and dirty stone, and I can't wait to throw it away." β
Xiao He naturally knew, but he couldn't think of any other way at the moment.
Qin Yu said at this time: "Instead of using this money to buy people to keep themselves safe, it is better to let them feel threatened first." β
"Let them feel threatened first?" Xiao He looked at Qin Yu suspiciously.
Suddenly, Xiao He trembled violently and looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Qin Yu looked at the time, got up and said, "Think about it yourself here, I have to go and meet His Royal Highness the troublesome son." β
"Trouble!" Qin Yu also complained before going out.
At this time, in the county office, Princess Zhaoyang was dressing up under the service of the maid.
Princess Zhaoyang suddenly asked, "Zhuzhu, what do you think of this Cangxian County?" β
The maid Zhuzhu pursed her mouth and said: "Your Highness, this Cangxian County has been dug up everywhere, and the people are even more rude, and there is no welcome ceremony for Your Highness." β
"Also, there are bandits hereΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The maid kept talking, anyway, she didn't have a good impression of Cangxian.
After listening to this, Princess Zhaoyang continued to ask, "What do you think of Qin Yu?" β
The maid was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed a complicated expression.
"This guy feels weird, that's the kind of Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· that"
"Anyway, I just feel that this person is very frivolous, but it is not so unreliable, and it feels weird."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled: "Actually, this guy is still very reliable, otherwise he wouldn't be able to run all the way back from Qi Country with hundreds of people." β
"Your Highness knows this Qin Yu?" The maid asked in surprise.
Princess Zhaoyang nodded and sighed lightly: "Before leaving the Jingshi, Old General Qin Zhen asked me to take care of him more, and I don't know if he knows this intention of Old General Qin. β
At this time, the guards outside the door reported at the door: "Your Highness, everyone has arrived." β
"Well, let's go down."
"No!"
After Princess Zhaoyang dressed up, as soon as she stood up, she saw the maid bring a veil.
"Your Highness, although there is a screen, let's wear this."
Princess Zhaoyang waved her hand and refused, "In the future, this will be my fiefdom, they are all my subordinates, and I can't meet them like this every time." β
"But didn't you say, Your Highness, to keep it secret, to make them afraid?" The maid asked, puzzled.
Princess Zhaoyang said helplessly: "The others are fine, but if you want to make this Qin Yu fearful, it is simply a fantasy." β
"It seems that it is true, this Qin Yu really doesn't seem to have any fear." The maid nodded and said, "Unlike the county order of Nafeng County and the county order of Yu County, they are so afraid of His Highness that they can't do it. β
"Even Du Tao is respectful to His Royal Highness. Only this Qin Yu is not even respectful to His Highness. β
"That's him." Princess Zhaoyang smiled, and then walked out the door.
At this time, in the living room of the county government, Du Tao and the county order of Yu County and the county order of Feng County had already arrived.
Only Qin Yu hasn't arrived yet.
Feng County Commander Yin Yang said in a strange manner: "Lord Qin has official authority when he returns home, and he hasn't come to see His Highness in person so late." β
"Lord Qin is the owner of this place after all, we are all just guests, and it is normal for people to put some scores." Yu County Commander also smiled.
Du Tao walked there silently, he lived in the county governor's mansion, so he naturally knew what the situation was.
Before, he wanted to ask Qin Yu to come over, but he saw Qin Yu doing something in the study, so he didn't bother Qin Yu.
