Chapter 13 Secret meeting with Zhang Lu
Seeing Zilan saying that the three Jins were all injured in the battle at Huayang, and that the world is so big that there is no one who can rival Qin, Huang Xie said: "As I see it, although the three Jins were injured, Zhao is the weakest."
Zilan said: "Zi Xie may not know, but the battle at Huayang may not be between Han and Wei, but Zhao will also fight against it. Wei lost more than 100,000, Han lost 30,000, I already know that Zhao also lost 20,000, general
Jia Yan sinks into the river!"
Huang Xie said: "Zhao is two thousand miles away, has hundreds of thousands of armor, and is protected by mountains and rivers. It has always been a humiliation of Qin, and everyone is angry and willing to fight against Qin. There is something to be done. This is not the case with Han and Wei. There are unknown mountains and rivers.
If it is limited, one attack will reach the country, and another attack will destroy the country. Chu has lost its barrier and is in danger!"
The king of Chu said: "There are thousands of kingdoms in the world, but there are only seven states: Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin. Chu should not say anything about itself. If the enemy is defeated, it will surrender to Qin to protect itself. Qi and Qi
Yan was hurt by both defeats. Even though it had been growing for ten years, it was unable to do anything. The three Jins were newly defeated, and the people were tired and depressed. How could they cheer up? However, Qin attacked Chu in the south and captured Ying. It forced Han and Wei from the center and reached Daliang;
He came out of Qi and won the Tao; he went to the west to conquer the barbarians and has been subject to them for a long time! In the past ten years, he has won repeated battles, opened cities and expanded the land, but has not gained any rest. In the world, who can resist it! "
Zilan said: "In the past, it was possible to join forces and unite all the weak to become a strong one. Now Han, Wei, and Yan are both weak. Who can compete with Chu?"
Huang Xie said: "Fu Chu is five thousand miles away, half of the world. Although it was defeated by Qin, it was not harmed at all. In the past, Gou Jian's country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He was a slave, just like swallowing Wu. How powerful is Chu!"
I hope the king will not worry about you. The only one who can defeat Qin in the world today is Zhao. Zhao has been suspicious of Qin for more than a day. Now Zhao's army of 20,000, together with General Jia Yan, all sank into the river. This is Zhao's great shame.
, I will definitely want it to be snowed! Although the situation is tense, and we are in alliance with Qin across the river, changes will inevitably occur over time. "
The king of Chu said: "What Zi Xie said is true. However, it will be difficult for Chu to survive for a long time, and he will have to gain speed. What can be done?"
Huang Xie said: "We must leave Qin and move between Zhao."
King Chu asked: "What can I do?"
Huang Xie said: "In half a month, the king of Han will be buried. I would like to sacrifice with the prince and then go to Qin. At that time, all the countries will come, or they can find it convenient!"
The King of Chu thought for a moment and said: "The prince is young, so it will be inconvenient to enter Qin. Bu Gu is willing to use Zi Xie as his left disciple, to assist the prince in entering Qin, and to deal with the princes. If there is any advantage, Zi Xie will decide it with one word."
,What can I do?"
Zilan said: "Zixie will be your commander, and I would like to live under him."
The king of Chu said: "No. Zi Xie is in charge of the outside world, and Zi Lan is in charge of the inside. There can be no chaos. I hope that Zi Xie will not leave! If Chu Dan has only ten years of life, he will avenge this shame if he does not grow crops! If he does not grow crops, he will be greedy for wealth and glory, and will not think about progress.
, If you die and do not enter the ancestral temple, you will be the same as the rotting bones! Zi Lan, Zi Xie, help me! "
Zilan and Huang Xie both avoided the mat and bowed to the ground, saying: "I only follow the instructions!"
At this time, the prince also put away his frightened expression, attended resolutely, and bowed down in the tunnel: "From today on, my son no longer has his own body, but he is driven by his father, and he will never come back even if he dies!"
Huang Xie said: "I will protect the prince when he enters the Qin Dynasty, but if there is a crisis, Xie will be the first to deal with it, and he will not dare to come back!"
The King of Chu said: "My lords, please sit down and listen to what I have to say." The three of them returned to their seats, folded their hands and listened.
The king of Chu said: "If you are a hostage to an enemy country, you should avoid being strong, let alone a spy. You should be loyal to that country, do justice to that country, serve the elders of that country as a filial piety, and be close to your peers as younger brothers. If you do this, you will definitely get it.
Friendly."
Both Prince Wan and Huang Xie said: "I would like to be taught!"
The King of Chu said: "Zuo Tu can now plan the trip on the first day of August. If you are not in Gu or Zilan, you will obey your orders!" So the four of them discussed many details such as entering Korea and Qin. During this period, there were many people.
The next time I came to the stage, I had a drink with the officials in the audience, which attracted bursts of cheers. By the end of the day, it was over.
Immediately, Ling Yin ordered Changsha to contribute water chestnuts, and Ling Gongyin also issued an order to make bead pendants, and ordered them to be completed within half a month.
Ten days later, Huang Xie, the newly appointed left disciple of Chu, prepared the funeral ceremony and set off for the funeral ceremony in Han Dynasty. He was guarded by thousands of Chu soldiers. A group of people got on the boat and went up the chasm to Wei River, and then along the Wei River to Zheng.
At the intersection of Honggou and Jishui, a small boat mysteriously appeared with Mr. Che You and Zhang Lu, and then boarded Huang Xie's boat.
It was a clear and sunny day, and a waning moon hung slantingly on the horizon. Huang Xie held a banquet in the boat to entertain Zhang Lu. No other people were allowed to approach, and even the prince stayed away.
After chatting, Huang Xie said: "After the war in Huayang, the world was weak, but Qin was the only strong one. Qin alone united with the three Jin Dynasties to threaten the world. If you want to resist, what can you do?"
Zhang Lu seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. He pondered for a while and replied: "Qin has a small valley, Hanzhigu, fertile fields, prosperous people, thousands of miles of fertile fields, abundant reserves, and convenient terrain. It is a great country in the world."
"Yan's territory is more than two thousand miles away. In the south there are Jieshi and Yanmen, and in the north there are jujubes. In the west, it forces Zhao to be strong, and in the south it is close to Qi. Yan used a small country to compete with Qi, but it was devoured by it. This wisdom and strength are not enough.
Lun Ye. Qi, a country with four fortresses, covers an area of more than 2,000 miles. The Yin family is full of people and has high ambitions. Once the Song Dynasty was destroyed and the world attacked it, the country was almost destroyed. Although it was restored with two cities later, the essence was gone.
, the situation is difficult to do.
"The country of Han is more than 900 miles away, and all the powerful bows and crossbows in the world come from Han; Han's swords and halberds can cut off cattle and horses on land, and swans on water. The weapons are not beneficial to Han. However, to the west, serve Qin, and they will submit to each other and serve the world.
Laugh. The land of Wei is thousands of miles away. Although the land is small, the people are no less than those of Chu. Since the eastward migration, it has been forced by Qin several times. It has been combined vertically and horizontally, and its behavior is uncertain. Shangjun, the hometown of Xihe, is all part of Qin. Yique Yi
In the war, Han and Wei beheaded 240,000 people, so they were afraid of Qin. The ministers cut off the lord's territory for the sake of diplomacy, stole temporary achievements without caring about the future, broke up public houses and turned into private houses, and used Qin's power from outside to within.
Rob its master. It is difficult to revive without a Mingjun. Moreover, Han and Wei are on the border with Qin. If they defeat Qin in a battle, half of their troops will be destroyed and the four borders will not be defended. If they fail to win in battle, danger will follow. There will be two thousand people in Zhao's territory.
In the rest of the country, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers with armor, blocking the mountains and rivers. Qin has done no more damage to the world than Zhao. However, Qin did not dare to raise troops to attack Zhao, so why? It is afraid of Han, and Wei is planning to follow. Today, Han and Wei
Make peace with Qin, and if Qin attacks Zhao, there will be no worries.
"Half the world of Chu has millions of armored men. Although they were defeated by Qin several times and lost troops and territory, they were not lost at all. Now in the world, those who want to resist Qin must be in Chu!"
These words are almost impossible to be the result of Zhang Lu's field investigation, and are mainly "copying books"; but Huang Xie was able to flexibly apply the contents of the book to the current environment, and Huang Xie nodded silently in his heart. When Zhang Lu finished speaking, Huang Xie
He paused for a while and asked again: "Suppose Duke is the plotter of Qin, what is his plan?"
Zhang Lu thought carefully and replied: "Qin wants to go east, but there are only three routes: Taiyuan in the north, Han and Wei in the middle, and Jingchu in the south. Jingchu in the south has long mountain roads, long waterways, and many snakes and pythons.
Poisonous insects, it is easy for an army to go out, but it is difficult to return. If the army goes out too little, it will be useless. If it goes out too much, the country will be empty. If it is taken advantage of by the princes, it is too late to regret it. If you want to conquer China with the Han and Wei Dynasties, you will divide the world into two. This is a sincere plan.
Those who are superior will certainly be tolerated by the princes. Qi will assist Daliang, Zhao will attack Hexi, and Chu will leave Hanyang. Qin will move and the world will respond. I am afraid that the troubles of the Qi people will appear in Qin. Attack Zhao on the north road, although the mountain road is far away.
In the Qin Dynasty, if we get a partial army, we can capture Taiyuan, but the country is not empty, and the princes are unable to help. If we capture Taiyuan, Zhongshan will have to descend, and Handan will be captured. Comparing the three, it is convenient to attack Zhao."
Huang Xie was secretly happy in his heart and said again: "If the Duke is plotting against Chu, what will the general do?"
Zhang Lu said: "For Chu's plan, it is better to gather all the weak ones and attack one strong one."
Huang Xie said: "Although the heart wishes it, how can the plan work out?"
Zhang Lu said: "Han has no foreign aid, so he must surrender to Qin. If Chu Qian comes to help, but Qin does not leave Guandong, Daliang will defend it. The wealth from Linzi will benefit Daliang, and Qi and Wei will surrender. Qin will not be able to go east."
If it goes out, it will definitely lead to the north and fight with Zhao. Chu is taking advantage of the disadvantages, gradually regaining its territory, and plundering its people a little, Qin will be trapped. Although it is said that the people are weak, they do not have to climb up and shout, and they will naturally take it.
Ear!"
Huang Xie was indeed very satisfied. He pushed the plate and changed the cup. The kernels of the food were all gone, and the sky was getting whiter in the east. Huang Xie said: "I went to Hanzhong as an envoy, but I didn't have time to ask for advice. I'll wait for another day to talk to Zhang."
Lu resigned, followed Mr. Che You out, and then drove away in a small boat.
After the meal, Huang Xie ordered to set sail. The ship left the shore and headed upstream on the Jishui River. He had sent a fast boat to arrive early and arrived outside Zheng City at dusk today. Twenty-five large ships lined up in a long queue.
, it was spectacular. Although it was a funeral and no music, singing or dancing could be played, the rich and noble scene was naturally arrogant! Huang Xie and the prince stood on the bow of the boat, pointing to the rivers, mountains and fields on both sides of the bank, and the plain flags hung on the bow of the boat.
The wind is blowing, and there is an indescribable flow of air.
Near dusk, South Korea sent a boat to meet the boat that went to report the news. The Korean envoy boarded a plank and crossed the boat. He met the prince and Huang Xie and thanked him again and again. He also said that it was getting late and the boat was inconvenient, so he could just go.
They came to the shore and said that they had arranged a hotel to stay. Huang Xie thanked him. The Han envoy led the ship into a bay and stopped. Han soldiers came to guard it. The Chu general arranged the handover and put out warnings on every ship.
He took the rest of the people and followed the Han envoy into a nearby city. There were about a hundred households in the city, and the houses were spacious and unusual for ordinary people to live in. All the people in the city were gone. The Han envoy said: "
This is a house sealed by the official of our city, specially prepared for the residence of the prince and Huang Gong, with all the daily food and fodder provided. But if there is any other need, I will serve you!"
Huang Xie said: "May I ask your envoy, which of the princes is the most powerful?"
The Han envoy said: "The Prince of Chu and Zuo Tu are here first! Yan sent envoys to report, but the journey is far away and they can't attend the sacrifice, so they send me to help them. The next day, Mr. Qin's Lord Jingyang Junfu will arrive. Tomorrow, Mr. Zhao
Pingyuan Jun Sheng will be sent to Prince Dan, Qi Gongzi Anping Jun will be sent to Prince Jian alone. Wei Gongzi Xinling Jun Wuji will be the closest, and he will arrive in three days."
Huang Xie said: "When the envoys arrive, I hope to meet them one by one!"
Ambassador Han said: "I will turn you around!"
Early the next morning, Han Ping, the prime minister of Han Dynasty, came to the city in person to visit the prince and Huang Xie. After the ceremony, Han Ping thanked you and said: "The king of our city is deeply grateful to you. However, I am inauspicious and cannot stay away. I consider it as my sincere service."
Thanks!"
Huang Xie said: "We moved our city to Chen, so we can live in peace and stability. Fortunately, we have high-ranking neighbors to help us. Don't worry about it, my king! Now the king of Han did not say anything, but ordered his ministers to offer sacrifices to the prince Bo Zhen, which also consolidated the close relationship between the two countries.
Chapter completed!
