Chapter 39 Section 5 Su Qinpei played the role of the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms

The big river rushes eastward from the head of Luoyang, and the south bank becomes a vast plain. It's not flat at all, but two hundred miles west of Aocang, there are two hills uprooted from the ground, which were called Dagu Mountain at that time.It is the image of two mountains overlapping.The reason why it is called Dagu Mountain is that these two mountains have risen together, tall and overlapping, yet prominent and isolated!If it is in the mountains, these two mountains are also insignificant hills.But it happened to be born in the south bank plain close to the big river, so it looks extraordinary.People in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, whenever they named something with the word "big", they praised its lofty stalwart.People are like "Da Yu", and water is like "Great River".The mountain is crowned with the word "big", which shows its prominence in the eyes of the people at that time.However, the word "big" is not only obtained when the mountain is steep and majestic. More importantly, this mountain has a long-standing divinity and an extremely important fortress status.In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Dagu Mountain was originally the boundary mountain in the north of Zheng State.The forests above and below the mountain were lush, so the state of Zheng named it "Zheng Garden" and made Dagu Mountain the exclusive hunting area of ​​Zheng State's office.King Mu of Zhou liked to go hunting. He heard that there were many birds and beasts in Zhengpu, so he led three thousand kings to come east to shoot birds and hunt animals.At the foot of the mountain, King Mu of Zhou abandoned his chariot, changed his horse and put on full military uniform, and immediately climbed the mountain to hunt.Yu Ren, who was in charge of the world's mountains and marshes, quickly led three hundred soldiers to plunder the forest and search the mountains in front, driving out hidden beasts and birds for the emperor to shoot and kill.I didn't want to go to the mountainside, but suddenly found a colorful tiger lying in the reeds!Seeing that the emperor was right behind, the people of Yu panicked and shouted: "The tiger is in the middle of Jia! My king backs off!" Ben Rong, the warrior in front of King Zhou Mu's horse, yelled loudly, and with the momentum of thunder, he rushed over and threw himself into the reeds Fight with the tiger hand-to-hand!Not a moment later, Ben Rong held the tiger's ears in his hands and rode the tiger to King Zhou Mu's horse.Ben Rong let out a loud roar, and the tiger gave a long howl and prostrated itself in front of the emperor.The officials and soldiers shouted, "The tiger surrenders! Long live the Son of Heaven!" King Mu of Zhou was overjoyed and ordered loudly: "The tiger is the king of beasts, and he will be imprisoned in this mountain forever without harm!" Ben Rong locked the tiger into a cave, The entrance of the cave is piled up with big stones, and the word "Hulao" is written in big letters.

Since then, when people mentioned Dagu Mountain, they all called it "Hulao". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo once dominated the Central Plains.At that time, the great feudal vassal of the state of Jin was ruled by Duke Cheng of Jin. He contacted more than 30 small and medium vassals and formed an alliance on the north bank of the Yellow River, determined to contain the state of Zheng.After three days of secret discussions, the countries of the alliance built a castle on Dagu Mountain that could station 100,000 troops, and the city was named Hulaoguan.After the Hulao Pass was built, the allied forces of the princes blocked the gate of Zheng State, forcing Zheng State to negotiate a peace with the allies and strike.Since then, Zheng Guo Xiaoba has been in a slump.

Entering the Warring States Period, Zheng State was swallowed up by South Korea, but Hulao Pass was taken back to Wei State by Wu Qi's army, and became the fortress base for Wei State to advance to Xiaoshan and Hangu Pass.After the Qin State became stronger, it took back Hangu Pass and Xiaoshan Mountain, and took advantage of the situation to advance to the east of Hangu Pass. The position of Hulao Pass suddenly became more important, and it became the west gate of the entire Central Plains!At this time, Hulao Mountain and Hulao Pass have been repaired and expanded for more than a hundred years, and have become majestic and precipitous.The later "Shui Jing Zhu" described Hulao Pass in this way: "The lingering belt of Fufu, the precipitous bank, the height of forty feet, the city is stretched and dangerous, rugged and uneven!" Surrounded by Jishui, it was built on the central mountainside of Dagu Mountain, condescendingly controlling the main roads on both sides of the east and west. The height of the city is more than forty feet, and it opens and closes according to the mountain.Su Qin chose Hulaoguan, where the grand alliance ceremony of the six countries would be held.

Determining the location of the alliance is not easy.On the first night out of Linzi, they discussed for two hours.In normal times, the location of the alliance is determined by the host country.Now that the leader of the alliance has not been decided (in fact, it will be determined at the time of the alliance), all countries with the alliance want to hold the alliance in their own land to show their own strength and status.The six countries are united, and the leader of the alliance has not been determined, so the choice of location will naturally have some subtle entanglements.Huang Xie first suggested that the alliance should be in Huaibei of Chu State.South Korea euphemistically reminded Su Qin: It is best to meet in Xinzheng to strengthen and weaken Han's prestige.Zhao Sheng proposed to be in Shangdang on the grounds that Qin would not dare to covet Hedong.Yan Guo knew that it was remote, so he didn't make a motion.Only King Mengchang of Qi State proposed to hold it in another country, and Qi State is currently not suitable to be the host.Wei Wuji didn't say a word, he only said that this matter is not a big deal and should be decided by Su Qin.After some thought, everyone stopped talking and just looked at Su Qin. "Hulao Pass!" Su Qin seemed to have already thought about it. He smiled leisurely and talked about the historical changes of Hulao Pass. Finally, he said with a smile: "The alliance between Hulao Pass is just like the alliance of the princes of the Jin Dynasty to contain the hegemony of Zheng. Facing Hangu Pass directly at the prison pass, the ambition to resist Qin is clearly revealed, wouldn't it strengthen the ambition of the Six Kingdoms?"

"Okay! It's Hulao Pass!" The crowd was so excited that they applauded in unison. As soon as the location of the alliance was determined, everyone unanimously recommended South Korea's Xinzheng as the alliance's backup base to show comfort to South Korea, which was the only country that did not send a special envoy to participate in the discussion.After the big plan is set, everyone returns to the country to report and agree on the date of the alliance.Jing Yan returned to Yan State, Zhao Sheng returned to Zhao State, Huang Xie returned to Chu State, and Wei Wuji returned to Wei State.Su Qin worried that Lord Mengchang Tianwen would be fettered by the state mourning after returning, so he strongly advocated that Lord Mengchang should stay and go to Xinzheng with him to plan the alliance affairs. Everyone unanimously persuaded him, and Lord Mengchang agreed.Early the next morning, everyone agreed on a return date on the bank of the big river, and then went their separate ways.But it is said that Su Qin and Meng Changjun led more than 3,000 guards from the six countries and rushed to the outside of Hulao Pass to set up a big camp, and immediately sent a general of Wei State to hold the arrow of King Wei to contact Su Qin's letter into the pass.At this time, Hulao Pass had become Wei's anti-Qin west gate, guarded by general Jin Bi with 50,000 elite troops.Jin Biyan read the Lingjian letter, and personally led a thousand soldiers and horses, ten ox carts, dozens of pigs and sheep, and dozens of jars of big beam wine to reward them.Su Qin saw that Jin Bi was over forty years old, stable and dignified, unsmiling, and his conversation was very congenial, so he entrusted Jin Bi to assist Meng Changjun in the preliminary work in the drinking room, and Jin Bi generously agreed.Seeing that the major event had been decided, Su Qin took a hundred cavalry southward to Xinzheng in the early morning of the next day.

At this time, South Korea was facing a major war, and there was tension between the ruling and opposition parties. It turned out that after Su Qin left South Korea a few months ago, the news of South Korea joining Hezong spread to Song State.The arrogant Song King Ticheng immediately felt that this was the last chance to make a big profit from South Korea, and immediately made secret preparations, withdrew all the troops stationed at the border, and sent secret envoys to contact Qin, intending to attack South Korea on two fronts in one fell swoop. Destroy Korea!The Korean businessman who didn't want to be in the Song Dynasty secretly sent the news back to South Korea, and South Korea suddenly became nervous.The state of Song has already caused South Korea a big headache, and with the Qin State overwhelming, how can South Korea survive?So South Korea, while preparing for the war urgently, sent flying cavalry scouts to inquire about the news of Hezong, and at the same time sent an emergency envoy to ask for help from the old roots of the three Jin Dynasties, Wei and Zhao.

Just as the wind was raging, Su Qin arrived.King Han Xuanhui was overjoyed when he heard that, and went out of the city to meet him in person.When Su Qin explained the situation of He Zong in detail, King Xuanhui was even more excited, and bowed devoutly to Su Qin to the end: "Mr. Also!" Su Qin hurriedly backed down, but King Han Xuanhui was afraid that he would run away, the savior who could mobilize the soldiers and horses of the six countries.Su Qin sighed: "The King of Han listened to the minister: Su Qin concluded that Song and Qin will disappear within three or a few days, and Song will probably send envoys to form an alliance with South Korea to repair it. This is not Su Qin's power, but a joint effort. power too."

"Really?" King Han Xuanhui opened his eyes wide in confusion, and suddenly said loudly: "Sir, don't be too busy, wait until the truth comes out before leaving!" The anxious look was actually afraid that Su Qin would leave.Su Qin laughed loudly: "Su Qin's major event is not yet over, how can he get away?" Three days later, the scouts sent a secret report: Qin State did not send troops; Song State's special envoy was on the road to discuss peace and repair.As the news spread, Xinzheng was immediately erupting, even more lively than a big victory.King Han Xuanhui feasted on Su Qin, and his emotion was beyond words: "He Zong has not moved, and he can defeat others without fighting. The prime minister is a genius! Great He Zong!" A South Korean iron cavalry guard and the South Korean prince's special envoy returned to Hulao Pass together.In a few days, Mr. Mengchang had commanded the sergeants to roughly draw up the camps and garrisons of various countries in the alliance site. Only when Su Qin determined the order and style, the construction could start.Su Qin recounted the reasons for South Korea, feeling a lot of emotion, and he couldn't stop laughing when he heard Meng Changjun: "The world is so strange! When you are in bad luck, there are no important officials. When luck comes, you can't even be an official! I Look, sir, there is more than one acquaintance." Su Qin teased and said with a smile: "Meng Changjun is talking about himself." "Yes, yes, me too." Meng Changjun nodded again and again: "A son of a concubine, who is in fear, has a high rank. The crown came like raindrops, and it beat you hard." Su Qin laughed heartily for the first time: "Meng Changjun, you are really cute! No wonder the thieves are also following you." The two laughed at the same time, and unexpectedly The South Korean prince who attracted another tent quickly sent someone to ask what was going on, and the two were even more delighted.

At the busy moment when Su Qin was preparing the text of the covenant and Mr. Mengchang was building the altar of the covenant, Jing Yan flew back and brought a shocking news: Duke Yan Wen died of illness suddenly!Su Qin thought of Yan Wengong's contribution to Hezong and his great kindness to himself, and couldn't help but feel sad. He fell down and cried, and set up a special altar at the northern foot of Hulao Mountain, and worshiped far away to the north.It wasn't until nightfall that Jing Yan walked into Su Qin's big tent alone and handed him a sealed copper pipe.Su Qin opened it silently, and there was a white gauze with two beautiful characters:

After reading it, Su Qin felt mixed feelings, and was stunned for a long time. Traveling around the six countries for more than half a year, although it was a thrilling and ups and downs, it was also a joyful time to show your talents to the fullest.In the interlocking tense mediation, Yan Ji has sunk deeply into the bottom of his heart.Suddenly, Yan Wengong died of illness, and Yan Ji became a green leaf of a lonely old tree. The fierce wind and rain of power may tear this green leaf to pieces at any time! "The new king is king, I feel anxious." Seeing that the court of Yan Kingdom is not peaceful, Yan Ji has already sensed the hidden danger. "Only the great hermit can get the whole festival." Yan Ji is a strange woman. During the years when Duke Yan Wen was sick in his later years, she has always been a pivotal figure in the country of Yan, and she has always gotten along quite well with the crown prince.However, the ascension of a new monarch of a country is a conflict of power redistribution, and traditional power will never allow a woman to be caught in it unless she has great strength herself.Although Yan Ji has the ability to mediate, she is definitely not the image of a powerful heroine.At this critical juncture, it is indeed a wise choice for her to protect herself by staying out of the power field and "hiding".As for how to hide it?Su Qin believes that Yan Ji can find the most suitable way.Thinking that Yan Ji was not in danger of her life at that time, Su Qin felt a little relieved in her heart, and couldn't help letting out a long breath.He Zong is at the last critical moment, how can he go north to Yan Kingdom?He can only wait for the day when the marriage is completed, and then return to Yan Country to meet her.This night, for the first time in his life, Su Qin had trouble falling asleep, and paced around the big tent until the east turned pale.

At three poles in the sun, Lord Mengchang came to invite Su Qin to inspect the leader's sacrifice to the roof, and when he was about to reach the big tent, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes!Mr. Mengchang set up the awning to look around, and saw a fiery red horse rushing down the official road, rushing into the barracks, and flew to the central tent in an instant.Seeing Lord Mengchang standing with his sword in his hand, the knight rolled his saddle and got off his horse: "Young Master Wuji's urgent letter!" Mengchang Lord opened it quickly, and a line of large characters was shocking-the king of Wei died of illness, the whole country mourned, and the national funeral was imminent, and the alliance seemed to be delayed a little bit! "It's unreasonable!" Mr. Mengchang muttered angrily, and then walked straight into the big tent. Su Qin was still lying on the long desk with his clothes on, and when he heard the loud voice, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Meng Changjun's expression was different, his heart sank, and he stood up abruptly.Meng Changjun handed the bamboo slips to Su Qin with a gloomy expression, but he didn't say a word.Su Qin took a closer look, and was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment.Lord Mengchang sneered and said, "King Wei has been king for fifty-one years. He is more than ten years older than my king. He has lived for more than eighty years. It is old to say that he is happy and mourning! Now he wants to use the opportunity of national mourning to postpone the meeting." Is there any reason for the alliance? If it is really delayed, how can I release the government and the people of Qi? Could it be that the funeral of the Qi Kingdom is not as good as the King of Wei?" Su Qin was still sighing and regretting, but Meng Changjun's resentment made Su Qin suddenly wake up—— This matter cannot be taken lightly, if the alliance is changed because of this, the first major event will be a violation of integrity, and the alliance of the six countries may follow suit!Su Qin thought for a moment and then calmed down: "Mr. Meng Chang, don't be impatient. I have to wait to figure it out." "Think about it?" Meng Changjun said with a teasing smile: "Mr. Can you figure it out?" Su Qin knew that Qi and Wei had deep grievances, and Meng Changjun's meanness was also reasonable, but as the chief envoy of the alliance, he must extinguish this spark: "Meng Changjun, do you think Wei Wuji is so mean? How are people?" "Young Master Wuji didn't say anything, big weapon game." "In this way, Mr. Wuji won't propose a delay?" "That's natural. It must be the new king who is stupid and wants to show his name of great filial piety." "Sure enough, Mr. Wuji can't persuade you?" Mr. Meng Chang smiled confusedly: "That's right, why doesn't this Mr. Wuji not argue with reason? He reported the king's intention and left the charcoal ball to the gentleman? Wouldn't this make the heroes of the world laugh?" "Mr. Wuji is quite There is no way to fight, but I want to use your strength." Su Qin smiled mysteriously: "From my guess, Mr. Wuji and Xinjun and his mother are both the sons of the king of Wei. My brother advocated delaying the alliance and keeping the funeral with all our strength. It seemed inappropriate for Wuji to openly oppose it. Therefore, the young master mentioned this idea in the funeral letter, letting you and me oppose it, and he would help. Or not?" Mr. Mengchang laughed suddenly: "You have a family! Mr. Tian Wen has seen it. Who is going to Daliang?" "I'll go. I'll be back in two days at the latest." "Okay! Tian Wen stays in the camp and waits for news from Chu and Zhao." The two agreed, and Su Qin immediately got busy.First, write a letter to King Xinyan to clarify the interests and interests, and advocate to go to the alliance on schedule.After the letter was written, Jing Yan immediately flew north with the letter.In order to prevent changes in the state of Chu, Su Qin wrote a book to Huang Xie and Qu Yuan each, and sent two military officials of the state of Chu to the south. "The state of Zhao is convenient, and I will accommodate everything if there is anything to do. The construction period of the altar cannot be delayed." Su Qin hurriedly told Meng Changjun, and then took ten knights of the state of Yan to Daliang. It's hard to understand, but at this most critical juncture, accidents happened to several big countries.King Qi Wei, King Wei Hui, and Duke Yan Wen died of illness one after another.Zhao Suhou and Chu Weiwang, two monarchs who were in their prime, were ill at the same time.There is only one King Han Xuanhui left, who actually visits three times a day and is in a hurry.At this moment, Su Qin did not panic.After calmly thinking about it, he thinks that this is the critical point of life and death for He Zong, as well as the life and death juncture of his life's achievements. Will always be a figure ridiculed by the world.Su Qin's character and specialty lie in his flexibility and perseverance.On the way to Daliang, he had already received an urgent letter from Chu State and Zhao State, but he still hurried to Daliang. Wei Wuji was busy with the national funeral, and when he heard Su Qin's arrival, he rushed back to the mansion immediately.The two discussed in secret for an hour, and Su Qin went to the mourning hall of King Wei overnight to pay homage.According to the traditional funeral ceremony, Prince Wei Si had no choice but to meet Su Qin in the side hall next to the mourning hall, expressed deep apology for the postponement of the alliance, and repeatedly affirmed his great filial piety. "Dare to ask the prince, what is great filial piety?" "Strictly observe the ancient rituals: sackcloth is filial piety, and guarding the mausoleum for three years is a great filial piety." "Dare to ask the prince, throughout the ages, has there been a monarch who has kept filial piety in sackcloth and guarded the mausoleum for three years?" Wei Si was stunned for a long time: "In my opinion, what is great filial piety?" The prince was originally a man of indeterminate opinion, but was persuaded by some confidants, and decided to use great filial piety to show his reputation and establish himself in the world. Admiration, I don't want Su Qin to lose his mind immediately when he asks. Su Qin calmly said: "Great filial piety: understand the righteousness, guard the way of the king, promote the community, and strengthen the country." Seeing that Wei Si was still in a daze, Su Qin said frankly and solemnly: "At present, the world is in turmoil, and the strong Qin and the tiger are on the sidelines. , lies in the safety of the country, the survival of the country; the key to the way of a king is to have strong enemies outside, and the government and the people inside. Only in this way, the ancestors under the spring can rest in peace, and the achievements of the new king can be displayed. Otherwise, the country will be destroyed, The common people are scattered, even if there are sackcloths guarding the tomb, how can they be filial?" Wei Si was silent for a moment, got up and bowed to the end: "Mr. If there is chaos, the crown prince should immediately get rid of his clothes and ascend the throne, and call him the king. We will meet again at Hulaoguan in one and a half months." Wei Sida cheered up and proposed to let Wuji go with Su Qin to make plans.Su Qin insisted on asking Wei Wuji to stay and assist the prince to stabilize the court.Wei Si was so moved that he wept and sighed, he sent Su Qin out of the palace, and then told Wei Wuji to send him ten miles away.Su Qin originally wanted to have a helper like Wei Wuji, but he was afraid that Wei Si would change midway, so he had to let Wei Wuji stay and supervise Wei Si.Wei Wuji also understood Su Qin's intentions, reluctantly sent Su Qin to Shili Pavilion, told Su Qin many inside stories about Zhao's court, and then watched Su Qin get on his horse.When Su Qin arrived in Handan non-stop, Zhao Sheng was already waiting.After some discussion, Zhao Sheng immediately led Su Qin to meet the prince Zhao Yong who was in charge.Zhao Suhou became sick from overwork, and recently suffered a leg ailment, so he couldn't get out of bed. It happened so suddenly, Zhao Yong and Zhao Sheng couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know how to tell Jun father about the emergency of joining forces?Seeing that Zhao Yong and Zhao Sheng were still the same brothers, Su Qin knew that Zhao Guo had no worries about changing the national policy, so he was relieved.After the three ventilated, Su Qin went to the palace to ask to see Marquis Zhao. Although Suhou Zhao Yu has been in power for twenty-four years, he is just in his early fifties and is in his prime.However, Zhao Yu had many ups and downs in his youth. He was injured three times, and then suffered from an inexplicable unexplained illness. In addition, he worked day and night after he ascended the throne.When Su Qin saw Zhao Suhou, he was listening to someone reading the bamboo slips on the couch, and the small bedroom was filled with a strong smell of herbs.Looking from the outside of the curtain, Zhao Suhou on the couch is full of white hair and thin as sticks, looking like a sad hero in his twilight years. Suddenly, Su Qin thought of the last moment of the gray-haired King Qi Wei, and couldn't help being moved, his eyes blurred up. "Outside the tent, but Mr. Su Qin?" Although Zhao Suhou's voice was weak, he was clear-eyed and clear-headed. "Su Qin sees Marquis Zhao." "Mr. is far away, is there any change in Hezong?" "It's clear from your lord: the three kings of Qi, Wei, and Yan have passed away, and King Wei of Chu and Marquis Zhao suddenly fell ill. Su Qin is afraid that there will be a danger of quicksand even if they join forces, so they come here to report and ask for a good strategy." Su Qin's tone was very heavy.Zhao Suhou suddenly sat up, his eyes were piercing: "Sir, don't worry, even if Zhao Yu is sitting in a wheelchair, he should support him!" His words hit the ground, every word is like a stone, and he is a hero!In the mind of this monarch, although He Zong was initiated from Yan State in name, it was only after the real powerful Zhao Guo joined that He Zong became a truly feasible plan for the world.Zhao Yu always believes that Zhao Guo is the real foundation of the great cause of the alliance.The people of Zhao have a lot of heroism, and regard supporting the crisis as the greatest honor.When the Hezong of the Six Kingdoms was about to die, Zhao Yu remembered that the old kings who had dealt with his father Zhao Zhong all his life had gone, and he was the only one in the Warring States of the Central Plains who was a towering old tree. Who else could he support Hezong?Su Qin bowed solemnly: "But with Marquis Zhao, why should the world worry?" Zhao Suhou laughed loudly: "The old man also has a number of days to come, so I have the right to be the last glory!" Zhao Sheng said loudly from the side: "I want to go with my husband, please allow your father!" "The man's true nature lies in his achievements, so he will die of old age in Handan? Go and learn a lot from Mr. Zhao Suhou." Zhao Suhou agreed with a smile.The matter in Handan was settled, and Su Qin felt at ease, and went south with Zhao Sheng in the early morning of the next day.When they arrived at Hulao Pass two days later, there was still no news from Chu State.Su Qin thought over and over again, and finally felt uneasy, so he asked Meng Changjun and Zhao Sheng to stay at Hulao Pass, and then went south without stopping.Although it is said that it is a fast horse with light riding, but the Chu State has mountains and rivers, it is not like the Central Plains Avenue where horses can gallop, and it will not be there soon.Su Qin categorically ordered: reduce people but not reduce horses, two horses per person, ride in rotation, day and night!As a result, the original guard knights changed from ten to five, and together with Su Qin's six men and twelve horses, they were on the road non-stop day and night! For four full days and nights, except for eating and feeding the horses, there was no rest for a moment.When they arrived at the city of Yingdu, the twelve horses all slumped down, and the five knights also rolled off their horses, lying in a mess in the mud and water.Only Su Qin staggered to the front of the gate guard officer, showed the king of Chu's white jade arrow, and fell softly under the city gate... When Huang Xie heard the news, he sent a flying horse to inform Qu Yuan, and took him with him. The imperial physician drove a chariot to the north gate of Yingdu.When I came to the gate of the city, I saw a person lying in the muddy water after the rain. His face was pale and thin, his beard and hair were gray and messy, and the cloth between the two strands had already leaked bright red!All of a sudden, Huang Xie panicked and hurriedly picked Su Qin into the car, and returned home non-stop for first aid.After a while, Qu Yuan also arrived in a hurry.The imperial doctor took off Su Qin's clothes with great difficulty, only to see that the flesh and blood between the two thighs worn by the saddle still oozes with blood, and the blood stains and sweat stains have made the clothes and pants hard, and there is a strong smell of sweat and The smell of blood permeated immediately!Huang Xie was so surprised that he said "Oh!" nervously.Qu Yuan's eyes were hazy with tears, and he was silent for a long time.When the unconscious Su Qin was placed on the couch, the imperial doctor said "No serious problem", and Qu Yuan strode away. "Oh, brother Qu, wait for the master to wake up and worry about it before we talk about it." Seeing Qu Yuan's agitated expression, Huang Xie hurriedly dissuaded him. "Why wait? I'll report to the King of Chu!" Qu Yuan flicked his sleeves and left. An hour later, Qu Yuan and a team of soldiers escorted a yellow caravan to Huang Xie's mansion.The hood of the car was opened, and four servants carried out a couch, on which lay the thin and pale King Chu Wei.When the couch was carried to the main hall, Huang Xie came out in a hurry. After a big salute, he was silent. "How is the situation, sir?" King Chu Wei asked pantingly on the couch. "Oh, my king, sir: Mr. is in a coma and has not woken up yet." "Go in, I want, Mr. Qinshou wake up." The couch was carried into a large bedroom with bamboo forests on both sides, and it was placed three feet in front of Su Qin's couch.Two maids helped King Chuwei up and leaned against a big thick and soft pillow.King Chuwei looked at the unconscious Su Qin quietly, and felt that he was much thinner and older than half a year ago. His gray temple hair and fine and deep crow's feet were like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes.A hero and celebrity who has just reached his thirties, so indomitable, so fearless of hardships and dangers, was tortured so tired and old in the rush of the six kingdoms, it really made the kings and ministers of the six kingdoms feel ashamed! "Oh, sir, you're awake!" Huang Xie exclaimed excitedly. "Keep quiet." Qu Yuan walked to the front of the couch and said softly, "Sir, are you awake? My king is here to visit you." Su Qin Youyou opened his eyes, feeling that the deep drowsiness was really hard to break free, but his soul There was always a booming sound in the depths, which made him unable to sleep peacefully.That voice was very familiar. When Hexi Yexing was about to collapse at any time, that voice made him stand up;Now, this booming voice reverberated in his heart again, dragging him out of the boundless obscurity... He saw the tears in Qu Yuan's eyes, saw Huang Xie's surprises, and saw the sitting... That pale and skinny man in yellow on the couch—the King of Chu?It is the king of Chu!Su Qin's heart was shocked, he suddenly sat up and was about to salute, but his eyes turned dark, and he fell down on the couch and was supported by Qu Yuan and Huang Xie. "Sir, you are injured, just lie down." King Chu Wei hurriedly told him. Su Qin closed his eyes for a moment, and he cheered up a lot. He persisted in paying homage to King Chu Wei, and then briefly described the decisions made by various countries in sweat. no?" King Wei of Chu sighed slightly and said with a smile: "Mi Shang's illness is fragmented, and I wanted to postpone the alliance. But Mr. He came to the south, which made us and other monarchs ashamed. If you are like this, how can we be numb?" Panting for a while, King Chu Wei said solemnly: "Chu and Qin are not at odds. This king is determined to meet the alliance as scheduled, but he will follow the orders of the master." "The king of Chu has a strong heart, which is very admirable." Please ask the king of Chu to be the leader of the alliance, and bear the heavy burden of the alliance." King Wei of Chu: "Sir, have you discussed with the monarchs of other countries?" "The plan is appropriate, and all countries agree that Chu State will take the lead, and Su Qin also believes that the King of Chu is the most appropriate." Qu Yuan was very excited: "Sir, it is very beneficial to the reform and revitalization of Chu State, and my king is obliged to do it!" "Oh, my king will be the leader of the contract, which will greatly increase the spirit of the six countries with the same hatred and hatred, which is a great thing!" A blush appeared on King Chu Wei's pale face, and he said with a slight smile, "Since you believe in Mi Shang, the Chu State is reluctant to do so. It's just that the six countries are fighting against Qin, and the coalition forces are large, so we must not fail. I invite you to cooperate with Qu Qing." Carefully consider a feasible plan, and fully implement it when we meet." Seeing that King Wei of Chu had a plan, Su Qin was obviously prepared for this, and felt relieved: "The king of Chu said it is very true. Su Qin has a general plan. In the evening, he should discuss it with Qu Yuan Da Sima and Huang Xie in detail." It was agreed that King Wei of Chu went back to the palace.As soon as Su Qin felt relieved, he fell asleep soundly. He didn't wake up until the evening of the next day. After washing up, he felt refreshed and hungry.Huang Xie opened a jar of aged Lanling wine, and accompanied Su Qin to eat a meal.After dinner, Su Qin said with a smile: "Just right! We didn't delay the evening discussion. Let's go to brother Qu Yuan's house." Huang Xie laughed loudly: "Oh, twelve hours have passed, and this is the second night." Su Qin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Stupid! Go find Brother Qu Yuan!" "No need to look for it, I'll do it myself." But hearing a burst of laughter in the hall, Qu Yuan had already floated in with his sleeves waving.The three laughed for a while, and then began to discuss Su Qin's "Six Nations Allied Forces Case", until the cock crowed at five o'clock.In the afternoon of that day, Su Qin and Huang Xie hurried northward with twenty guard knights. Back at Hulao Pass, Jing Yan had also returned, bringing with him a letter from the new king of Yan State, stating his willingness to attend the appointment as scheduled.So far, the six countries have reversed the juncture of domestic changes and re-firmed their intention to join forces. It can be said that the general trend has become clear.Except for Wei Wuji who was still in Daliang, Su Qin Hezong's original team had all gathered.Su Qin held a banquet and had a drink with everyone, and then assigned each person's duties: Huang Xie assisted Su Qin in preparing an announcement; Zhao Sheng's troops expanded the camps of various countries and the Central Committee of the Alliance Xingyuan; Jing Yan served as the guard of the camp; At the highest level, he organized a guard of honor and served as a special envoy for welcoming guests.The allocation was certain, and the outside of Hulao Pass immediately became tense and busy, with lights day and night, people shouting and neighing, and it was lively for a whole month.In the late autumn of 333 B.C., the monarchs of the six major kingdoms in the Central Plains gathered at Hulao Pass and held a grand ceremony for the alliance.At this time, except for Zhao Guo who did not claim the title of king, the other five kingdoms had already become kingdoms: King Chu Wei, King Qi Xuan, King Wei Xiang, King Yan Yi, and King Han Xuanhui.Among them, the four kings of Qi, Wei, Yan, and Han are all young and strong monarchs in their thirties. They are full of vigor and vitality.King Chu Wei and Zhao Suhou were the core of the alliance ceremony, but both of them were suffering from chronic illnesses, one was carried into the shaft on a bamboo couch, and the other was pushed into the shaft in a wheelchair, which added a bit of tragedy to the alliance ceremony. Su Qin presided over the initial meeting of the six kings, and publicly elected King Chu Wei as the leader of the alliance, and the ceremony of the alliance was grandly arranged.On the first day, an extremely grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held.The platform for offering sacrifices to the sky is set at the peak of Dagu Mountain. The platform is ten feet high, and when viewed from the military camp at the foot of the mountain, it almost goes straight into the sky.King Zongyue Chang Wei of Chu was carried up to the rooftop by thirty-six strong men of Chu in turn. When he reached the top of the platform, the mountain wind howled, and everyone was worried and prayed.But King Chu Wei miraculously stood up, the crown of scales shone brightly, and the big yellow silk sleeves fluttered like a god in the clouds!The high-pitched and hoarse voice flew from the sky and floated on the Dahe Plain: "Fu Weitian Emperor Xi Mi Shang worshiped: the six countries are in trouble, the strong Qin is raging, the people are dying, and the country will not be the country. Today, the six countries are in an alliance. Resist the Qin Dynasty. I hope that the God of Heaven will bless our country, protect our common people, and make our six kingdoms peaceful forever..." Thousands of people from the six kingdoms at the foot of the mountain cheered! The next day is the covenant ceremony.Zhao Suhou read out the "Six Kingdoms Covenant".This covenant is concise and concise, with only six clauses: The covenant was announced, and the audience cheered like thunder. "Long live together!" "United against Qin!" roared across the Dahe Plain.Strike while the iron is hot, the monarchs of the six countries immediately took a blood oath in the big tent, and solemnly stamped the bright red seals of the monarchs of the six countries on the sheepskin covenant, and each country had a copy, and the covenant was officially completed.After that, the monarchs of various countries immediately appointed special envoys of their own countries, and four of the special envoys of the great powers were named Gaojue special envoys by the monarchs on the spot: Wei Wuji of the Wei State, who was granted the title of Lord Xinling; He was granted the title of Lord Pingyuan; Huang Xie of Chu State was granted the title of Lord Chunshen.The third day was the final alliance meeting. Under the auspices of King Wei of Chu, the six countries agreed on the number of allied troops: 150,000 from Chu, 80,000 from Qi, 80,000 from Wei, 100,000 from Zhao, and 100,000 from Yan. 50,000, 50,000 in South Korea, a total of 510,000 troops.After the soldiers and horses agreed, a grand banquet of the six kings was held. The most solemn ceremony during the banquet was that the monarchs of the six countries granted their country's seals to Su Qin one by one.At that time, the powers of the prime ministers of various countries were different, and the names were also different, but they were all the founding prime ministers who took charge of the state affairs.Su Qin is also a minister of various countries, so naturally he will not be the real prime minister who founded the government, but a "foreign minister" who takes care of major diplomatic affairs.The Warring States Period was a time of great contention, diplomatic relations and mediation often outperformed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which was related to the safety of the country, so more than half of the power of the prime minister was foreign affairs.Now the six countries handed over the power of foreign affairs to Su Qin, which is really an unprecedented feat of unity!When the six gold seals were shining brightly in copper and jade boxes, and when they were put on the jade belt around Su Qin's waist one by one, the solemn and solemn "Daya" music was played in the musician's seat, and the big tents and goblets were intertwined. Praises and cheers... After accepting the heavy gold seals one by one, Su Qin's mood was surprisingly calm.A commoner often travels all his life and cannot ask for a golden seal, but he wears six seals between days and nights!Under the calm and indifferent smile, he was a little dazed.Suddenly, he thought of Zhang Yi, that stalwart body, that free and easy talk and laugh, all suddenly appeared clearly in front of him.Zhang Yi, good junior brother, where are you?Did he stay in the cemetery or did he go to Qin State?
