In order to disrupt Qin's plan to unite with Jin to attack Chu, Huang Xie suddenly raised the issue of the prince's hostage to Qin. As expected, both Qin and Han parties were caught off guard and forced Jingyang Jun to agree to enter Qin with the prince. But this incident had a profound impact on the prince's development.

The impact was huge. From the prince's point of view, the sooner the hostage was taken into custody, the better. Being suddenly exposed without any psychological preparation, Huang Xie knew that there must be big waves in the prince's heart. So as soon as he returned to where he was staying

He drove everyone away from the city and gave psychological counseling to the prince alone. After a moment of comfort, the prince's grievances poured out instantly and he burst into tears!

Huang Xie stood aside and stroked his back gently for a long time, high-fiving him and singing: "I'm fighting Wu Ge and I'm wearing rhinoceros armor, my chariot is on the wrong side and I'm fighting in close combat. The sun is blocked by the sun and the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling and the soldiers are vying for the lead. Lingyu formation

I am wandering around, my left hand is injured, my right blade is wounded. Two wheels of haze are coming, I am picking up four horses, and I am beating the drum to support me."

In his sad voice, the prince said in peace: "The weather is full of anger, and it kills all the people. I abandon the wilderness. If I can't get out, I can't go back. The plain suddenly seems too far. I have a long sword, I hold the bow of Qin, and I leave with my head and body."

The heart is not punished. Sincerity is both courageous and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible. Even though the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and powerful as a ghost."

During the song, the prince's tears gradually faded away, and his expression gradually became resolute. When the song ended, the prince said: "I will rest on my father's virtues, but I will never forget my ambition. Even if I die, I will fight for the chance of having children for Chu for ten years!"

Huang Xie said: "The prince entered the Qin Dynasty not to die. With the word "Rong Chen", the prince's ambition is to endure and humiliate!"

The prince said: "You should remember this!"

Huang Xie comforted him again and asked him to sleep a little to rest his spirit.

It was still early when he came out to look at the sky. After returning to his room next door, Huang Xie began to sort out the morning's gains. Judging from the performance of both Qin and Han, the plan to jointly attack Chu has been prepared for a long time, and it may just need to be implemented. Qin

Hu Yang was sent here to finalize various details with Han: it may be planned for the Qin army to leave Han and attack Chu. What needs to be known now is whether Wei and Zhao are involved in the matter, and whether the Qi State will take advantage of it. The Yan State has already determined

If he didn't send anyone here, he probably wasn't involved.

Tomorrow the envoy from the State of Qi will come, and the person who comes is Tian Dan, Lord of Anping. This man is also a general and prime minister in the State of Qi. He can defend a lonely city for three years and regain lost territory with an outnumbered enemy. His military ability is definitely first-rate.

. It would be reasonable if he planned to take the opportunity to attack the Chu State and regain the old land occupied by the Chu State in the south.

Tomorrow the envoy from the State of Zhao will also come, and the person who comes is Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. Although this man is a young master, he has many followers, and his reputation is no less than that of Lord Xinling. Even if he does not lead the troops himself, there is no guarantee that there will be many commanders under him.

Experts in the war will give advice! However, Zhao and Chu are not on the border, so even if they send people to come, they will just do miscellaneous things!

There is also the Kingdom of Wei. But Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun Wuji will not come until the day after tomorrow. He is obviously pinching time and will not coordinate well with Qin. But don't be careless. There are many capable people in the sect of Lord Xinling, or there are few left behind.

A secret contact...

The key is Qin. As long as Qin doesn't want to fight, others probably have no intention. Han, Wei, and Qi are all defeated, so it is right to rest and recuperate. Without Qin taking the lead in oppression, they would not have

The idea of ​​​​fighting Chu! The Chu country is five thousand miles away. It has lost one thousand miles, and it still has four thousand miles. It still occupies half of the world. I understand that other countries will not dare to take the initiative to provoke it.

Thinking about this, Huang Xie made up his mind: after the funeral, he urged Lord Jingyang to leave for home as soon as possible, and he took the prince to follow him. This was more important than anything else!

He went out, called a guest, gave him a festival talisman, and ordered him to drive a small boat back to Chenqiu quickly, informing the Prince's Mansion that the Prince's entourage must arrive in three days; told Zilan that the plan prepared for the Queen Mother

Gifts must also arrive on the same day.

In the afternoon, the Korean envoy came to report that there was a sudden flood in the Zhao state of the Yellow River. The prince and Pingyuan Jun both wanted to stay in Zhao to relieve the disaster, so they sent the guest guest Yu Qing to Han. Now Yu Qing has crossed the Yellow River and is expected to enter Huayang at dusk. Huang Xie expressed his thanks.

, asked the envoy: "Who will greet you on the first day?"

The envoy replied: "Maybe the envoy will welcome you to the city."

Huang Xie asked: "Will the Qin envoy welcome him?"

The messenger replied: "I haven't heard of it yet."

After sending away the Korean envoy, Huang Xie had a big burden: Zhao Guo would definitely not participate in the attack on Chu.

Not long after the previous envoy left, another envoy came to report that Qi Anping Juntian Shan was coming from the west of Jishui under the command of Prince Jian. He would enter Xingyang for a rest today and enter Zhengzhou at dusk tomorrow.

Huang Xie asked Han Xiang as usual, if the envoys of Qin and Zhao were going to greet him? The answer was that they had no plans to go. Huang Xie was now determined, and the possibility of Qi and Qin coordinating their attack on Chu was slim to none.

Since Prime Minister Han did not go to greet him... he called a retainer and asked him to arrange the arrangements and find out where the envoys of Zhao and Qi would stay, and when Prime Minister Han would visit. These are not confidential matters, so find out

It shouldn't take much effort. The retainer will be gone soon.

What Huang Xie is most worried about is the prince. The prince is young and has a heavy responsibility. Now he has to deal with these old foxes. Not only cannot he be played by them, but he also has to play with them in his hands. His wisdom, agility,

It was really more than a young man who had just grown up could bear! He quietly walked into the prince's room and found the prince sitting silently in the room, motionless. When Huang Xie came in, the prince knelt down, crossed his hands and saluted. Huang Xie bowed and said:

"Is the prince okay?"

The prince returned the greeting and said: "Good morning, Father Xie! Please sit down, Father Xie! What can I teach you, Father Xie?"

Huang Xie said: "I feel that Qin and Han have the intention to attack me, so I have sent the prince to Qin to attack its plot. Now, Zhao and Qi are not with Qin. If Qin and Han are defeated, there is no need to worry."

The prince said: "Wei is also on the border with Chu. Why doesn't Father Xie say anything?"

Huang Xie said: "The prince is wise. The reason why I didn't say anything is because I haven't understood the truth. But I guess that Lord Xinling will arrive in the next day and there will be no time to discuss military matters. Moreover, after Wei's initial defeat, he did not have enough reserves. He wanted to

If we add troops to Chu, we may not be able to do so."

The prince said: "My servant is confused, please teach me, Father Xie. When Qin first attacked Chu, his army was powerful, and he was bound to win: he won first against Yan, and then he won against Ying. His power was unstoppable. Once he captured it

, why did Chu reject it with its remaining troops and turn back and attack its front?"

Huang Xie said: "The prince asked, what is the key to a solid army? Anyone who attacks a country will become more and more dwarfed the further he enters. Why divide the troops to defend the territory, each plunders the property, and cannot provide support? When Qin attacks Yan, it cuts across the river.

I am afraid that my Chu army will lose its fighting spirit. When we fight again at Ying, the Chu army disperses before reaching the enemy. It is really a shame that Chu has not been able to do so! If a husband is defeated by Chu, it is not a bad idea to fight with arms and armour, and to fight against each other.

Soldiers, arrows are falling, and soldiers are fighting for the lead. Although the haze is hazy, the horses are still being picked up, and the drums are still beating to support the troops. Those who have not heard of the army and are defeated! If they return to Yingxia and are defeated, will they be in danger?"

The prince said: "Now that Qin has entered Ying, its power is stronger than before; Chu has lost to Ying, and its power is weaker than before. But in the past, even though Qin could not win, now even though Qin and Han are still there, my father said there is nothing to worry about?"

Huang Xie said: "Try to tell the prince about the twists and turns. In the eighteenth year of the king's reign, in order to avenge the death of the former king, he allied with the princes. In the nineteenth year, even before we joined forces, Qin attacked us, and the army was defeated. Shangyong was cut off from Han.

North. In the 20th year, Qin captured my Xiling. In the 21st year, Qin captured my Ying. In the 22nd year, Qin again captured my Wu and Qianzhong County. In the 23rd year, the king returned and gathered 150,000 troops to resist.

Qin. From this point of view, when Qin entered Ying in the past, it took advantage of Chu's unpreparedness. Now, the so-called lack of concern means that it is well prepared."

The prince said: "Since the king wants to attack Qin, why not be prepared?"

Huang Xie said: "Ying has been engaged in many battles, but although it has been victorious or defeated, all the elites have been lost, and all those left behind are old and weak. The elites are in the East Jianghuai, the land of Wu and Yue. At that time, the king wanted to raise the eastern army and go out of Sanchuan to attack Qin.

But Ying then became weak and was taken advantage of by Qin."

The prince said: "Now I want to restore the old Ying and return to my old capital. What can I do?"

Huang Xie said: "As I see it, if you leave Ying and enter Chen, the dragon will enter the sea, the tiger will enter the mountains and forests, and the five thousand miles of rivers and mountains will be at my disposal. If you camp them well, even if there are not enough in the world, how about one Ying?"

The prince did not expect Huang Xie to be so insightful, so he said: "As my father said, a sincere servant has his heart's desire."

Huang Xie said: "The most valuable people in the country and the country are the people. The king decides on the policy of raising children in ten years, and the success or failure depends on the prince. If the prince is in Qin, he will not attack Chu for ten years, and the prosperity of Chu will surely be expected."

The prince said: "I heard that the king of Yue lost his country in the past, and the couple served as servants to Wu, and they died to destroy Wu. Being a servant to Qin is not that I am inferior to my servants; and being a servant to Qin is not difficult to destroy Wu."

Gou Jian can do it, and so can a servant!"

Huang Xie bowed to the ground and said, "The prince of Chu is like this, and the prince of my ministers is like this. How lucky is it to be like this!"

In the evening, the people sent by Huang Xie made inquiries and confirmed that Zhao sent Yu Qing with only one chariot and a hundred soldiers. Qi sent Tian Dan and Prince Jian, with 500 soldiers, and arrived at Xingyang. Xingyang ordered them to enter the palace with courtesy

Post, we arranged a ride on the road the next day. They had also found out where they were staying outside Zhengdi, and naturally they were also the two fiefdoms of Dr. Han.

Huang Xie was thinking about it in his mind. After dinner, he said to the prince: "Prince, please have a rest. You may work again tomorrow."

The prince asked: "What will happen tomorrow?"

Huang Xie said: "Zhao and Qi's envoys have returned, maybe they should meet with Qin's envoys!"

The prince said: "I only obey my father's orders!"

Huang Xie sent the prince into the room and stood alone in front of the court. He asked doubtfully: "Why is there a flood in Zhao? Is Zhao Yu lewd this summer? When the river comes out, will Wei and Qi also be affected by it?" The envoy from Zhao

Yu Qing only brought a hundred soldiers to see that Zhao Guo must have encountered a lot of difficulties. Otherwise, King Zhao would never have humiliated himself in front of the princes. But if Zhao Guo suffered a disaster, how could he encourage Qin and Zhao to do so?

Fighting... This made Huang Xie even more looking forward to tomorrow's talks. After breakfast the next day, Huang Xie took the prince and ten of his entourage and twenty guards in a boat and went around to Zhengzhou.

The boat was moored in a sparse place outside the north gate. Ten guards were left to guard the boat, and they led others to sit on the pavilion. After resting for a while, they saw dust billowing from the direction of Huayang. Huang Xie and others sat still.

, and waited for the envoy from Zhao to pass by the main road one mile away.

There was a leather cart in front of the procession, with three people standing on it, two dressed as Koreans and one dressed as Zhao, presumably Han envoys and Yu Qing; behind was a baggage cart, pulling the deacon's stolen goods; indeed there were only about a hundred people.
Chapter completed!
