Chapter 46 In the second quarter, the weird rhetoric actually stabilized the state of Chu

Mr. Chunshen was more anxious than anyone else. He used the pretext of hunting every day to wait for news from Su Qin on the official roads in the countryside. Seeing Zhang Yi upside down the state of Chu while chatting and laughing, the young people are a little confused!People are in a state of panic, and those with quick thoughts have already quietly moved closer to Zhaoju's side.Even Jin Shang, a young doctor, has become a popular figure in Yingdu. The former newcomers have come together to cater cautiously, seeking a way to go through the needle.If Qin State returned the land of Fangling to Chu State, and Chu State formally withdrew from the Six Kingdoms Alliance, wouldn't Chu State's reform die prematurely?For the first time, Chun Shenjun felt at a loss what to do.For Zhang Yi, he really couldn't figure it out, let alone think of a way to deal with it.When Zhang Yi entered Chu, Chun Shenjun and Qu Yuan knew about it beforehand, but they didn't care about it. The reason was that Zhaoju was Zhang Yi's great enemy. Zhang Yi would definitely use Qin's powerful deterrent force to force the king of Chu to kill Zhaoju. Zhaoju will definitely fight back with all his strength. No matter what the result is, Zhaoju's power will be weakened, and the king of Chu will rely on the new elites again.They believed that entering Chu was a quagmire for Zhang Yi, but it was a good thing for them.Chun Shenjun and Qu Yuan both said the four words "to watch from the sidelines" at the same time.

Who would have expected that Zhang Yi, who lived quietly in the post house, could turn an enemy into a friend with Zhaoju?Can infiltrate the palace and form an alliance with Zheng Xiu?How could it make King Huai of Chu lose his sense of proportion, disregarding the last king's death and seeking skin from a tiger?By the time Chunshen Jun and Qu Yuan stepped forward to fight against each other with blood, it was a pity that a big mistake was made, and it was too late.Qu Yuan was helpless against such a mysterious and unpredictable person who laughed and cursed all kinds of articles. He just kept repeating: "We must wait for Su Qin. This person is neither Su Qin nor an opponent. We must wait."

The mountain plains outside the north gate of Yingdu are already lush and lush. The spring in Huainan comes earlier than in the Central Plains. The coldness in the wind has long since dissipated, and the warm breeze already has the breath of early summer.Mr. Chunshen and his disciples were chasing scattered hares, foxes and deer on the mountain plain, but their eyes glanced at the official road extending to the north from time to time. "Look, Mr. Chunshen, there is a convoy coming south!" A doorman stood on the top of the hill and shouted. In the depths of the green plain, a puff of smoke and dust rolled up and was slowly moving southward.At this moment, a steed came flying from the north gate of Yingdu, and shouted from a distance: "Report——, Wu Xinjun's letter has arrived——!" Following the shout, the steed came to the front like lightning.Chunshen Jun took the letter and opened it for a glance, then whipped his horse and galloped down the mountain.

The smoke and dust in the north is exactly Su Qin's cavalry.When starting from Jicheng, Su Qin spared all the convoy's luggage, and only led the original 200 fierce knights.Jing Yan set out half a day early on a sweat-blooded horse from the Western Regions to make contact.When the horse team arrived in Handan, Lord Pingyuan was already waiting in the outskirts; when they arrived in Daliang, Lord Xinling was already waiting in the outskirts.With a greeting and a cup of strong wine, Su Qin hurriedly made arrangements, and then drove away without stopping.Traveling fast all the way, he arrived on the same day as the knight who delivered the letter two days earlier.The city tower of Yingdu was already in sight. Su Qin saw a horse flying towards him. The familiar yellow cloak was billowing in the wind. Who could it be if it wasn't Mr. Chunshen?

"Wu Xinjun——!" "Mr. Chunshen—!" The two flew off the horse at the same time and walked forward quickly, hugging each other tightly. "Oh, Mr. Wu Xin is so free and easy!" Chunshen Jun looked at him and burst out laughing.It turned out that in order to run fast, Su Qin not only rode a horse himself, but also wore a red leather soft armor, long hair hanging loose, a long sword on his back, no cloak and helmet at all, just like a legendary swordsman. "The riding skills are not very good, so I have to be neat." Su Qin also burst into laughter. "Oh, don't tell me, this sword is really neat when you carry it on your back! Su Qin carries a sword on his back, I will learn from it in the future."

Su Qin said with a smile: "Do you also learn to be lazy? You don't often use it to recite it. Wait for the swordsman to recite the sword, and you can pull it out in a hurry?" "Okay, you can teach me later, oh, let's go, Qu Yuan is in a hurry." Chunshen Jun flew on the horse following the words, knocked on the stirrup, and the arrow slacked out.Su Qin's cavalry followed closely behind, and entered the north gate of Yingdu in a short while. When he arrived at the mansion, Chun Shenjun immediately ordered someone to ask Qu Yuan secretly.At this time, Qu Yuan was already a doctor in Sanlu, and it was difficult for him to participate in the military affairs.For all important matters, Chun Shenjun discussed with Qu Yuan in secret and as quietly as possible.When Qu Yuan arrived, Su Qin had just finished washing with cold water, changed into a soft cloth and came to the main hall.When the two met, they shook hands. Su Qin said that Qu Yuan had lost weight, and Qu Yuan said that Su Qin was dark. They sighed with emotion until Chunshenjun greeted them and took their seats.After drinking a jug of dust-cleaning wine, Mr. Chunshen told about the changes in the court situation after the death of King Wei of Chu and the process of Zhang Yi's entry into Chu.

Qu Yuan was furious: "Zhang Yi is hateful! Zhaoju is hateful! Jin Shang is shameful! Zheng Xiu is sad! The King of Chu is ridiculous! The state of Chu is pitiful!" Jun Shen shook his hand quickly, signaling Qu Yuan not to violate the taboo too much, and hurriedly ordered the elders to close the gate of the house , deny access. Su Qin was silent for a long time before asking: "Who should make the motion first to get Fangling back?" "Oh, that was mentioned by my Wang Xian. It was intended to prevaricate us, but I didn't expect Zhang Yi to agree." "Both sides of the covenant, who will sign it? Is there a seal of King Qin?"

"Oh, I heard an old servant say: Zhang Yi only wrote his name, and said that the seals of the prime minister and king are all in Xianyang, and he went back to make up." "Who claims to send a special envoy to deliver?" "Of course it's the state of Chu." Qu Yuan slammed the case angrily again: "Zhang Yi is really hateful!" Su Qin smiled slightly and said, "It seems that things have turned for the better." "Is there a turning point?" Chunshen Jun was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, Mr. Wu Xin is about to say it." Su Qin: "Although Zhang Yi is a free and easy person, he acts meticulously and does not stick to the rules. He is not as rigid as we are. It is Qin's top priority to tear a gap in He Zong. In this situation, Zhang Yi will meet any request made by the king of Chu." First agree, and then come back to find a solution. Judging from the facts just now, the Qin State did not intend to return Fangling at all. Sure enough, there was such a premeditated plan. Zhang Yi will have a plan first, and spread the righteous deeds of the Qin State to everyone in the world. He will bring King Qin's seal edict and the prime minister's seal. Based on this, it can be inferred that the special envoy of Chu State must have returned without success! Tell me, what if this is the case?"

"Oh, the king of Chu said it himself: 'If you are really deceived, I will be the commander of the three armies and avenge the shame of Chu!'" Qu Yuan was surprised: "In this way, this piece of instrument is really out of the ordinary! After becoming the prime minister, he dared to cheat about the important affairs of the country's diplomatic relations. How will he gain a foothold in the world in the future? Isn't it an anecdote?" Su Qin said with a smile: "Based on kingly etiquette, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Yi is a fraud. You are stupid, why blame the enemy country for its cunning?" After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

"Oh, Wu Xinjun, just tell me, how do you make this move?" Su Qin: "Let's talk about three steps first: the first step is to pay a visit to the king of Chu to lay the foundation for the next step; Once the mausoleum's deceit is revealed, the allied forces will immediately attack Qin. As long as one battle is fought, it will be difficult for the king of Chu to change." "Wonderful! Oh yeah, it's really a match, it's Su Qin who can't fight Zhang Yi!" Qu Yuan also stretched out a rare smile: "If the third step can be completed, Wu Xinjun will save Chu."

Su Qin said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will pay a visit to the King of Chu, and Lord Chunshen and I will be the only ones. Please forgive me for the meaning of this." Qu Yuan laughed heartily, and chanted in a long voice: "The Qi Ji hides and does not see, the phoenix flies high and does not come down, the birds and beasts still know the virtues, what is wrong with the sages—?" "Qu Zi's poetic talent is unparalleled in the world!" Su Qin couldn't help but clapped his hands in praise. "Oh, brother Qu Yuan hasn't spoken for a long time, and he is singing today. It's a good omen!" Su Qin also talked about the situation that the four kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Wei, and South Korea have already begun to deploy large armies, and the confidence of Lord Xinling and Lord Pingyuan, and finally said: "From the perspective of the century-old diplomatic relations, the weakness of the previous alliances between the Central Plains and Qin Dynasty lies in Chu and Qi. The reason for the change of Chu State is that it has a vast territory and frequent internal strife, and it is often too busy to take care of itself. The reason for the change of Qi State is that it is far away from Qin State, and there are few direct conflicts of interest. From the current point of view, the weak link of the six-country alliance is still Chu The two countries of Qi. Chu State is originally the leader of the alliance, and it is at the center of the six kingdoms. Whose side will Chu State stand? Whoever has a 80% chance of winning. From this point of view, Chu State and Qi State are the two sides of the world. The main battlefield. The first round this time is to fight for Chu!" "Yes!" Qu Yuan suddenly said: "Mr. Wu Xin, it's time for the two of you to meet the King of Chu, and I'll do another matter." "Oh, it's time to enter Hong Kong." Jun Shen suddenly stood up, "Mr. Wu Xin, enter the palace." "Entering the palace?" Su Qin smiled: "This is an ugly time, which time is it?" "Oh, let's go, we'll talk about it in the car, or it will be too late." Jun Shen said, pulling Su Qin up and leaving. In the black car with curtains hanging all around, Chunshen Jun shook his head and sighed, while telling about the eccentricity of King Huai of Chu. Mi Huai is an enigmatic monarch.Due to the strictness of King Wei of Chu, Mi Huai also served in the army and served as a small official in a low-level government office, and was also the prince of the country when King Wei of Chu left Beijing.Everything that should go through has gone through, but he is still a rich and happy prince with no certainty, sometimes he is surprisingly sober, and sometimes he is ridiculously sullen.Let's just talk about daily affairs. King Chu Wei always gets up as soon as the cock crows three times, and approves official documents for an hour.At that time, as long as Mi Huai was in Yingdu, she would participate in the court meeting every time.But after he became the king himself, it turned out to be a big turn!I don't sleep at night and get up during the day. Every three days, I come to the main hall to sit for a while in the afternoon. It happens that some ministers ask for an audience. In the harem, one year after he ascended the throne, there has not been a big court meeting.If the ministers want to see the King of Chu, they have to wait outside the hall like a cat catching a mouse. Chunshen Jun had a guest named Li Yuan, who was the master wine clerk in the palace. He was praised by King Huai of Chu, and he became a playmate who never left.Every time he wanted to see the King of Chu, Mr. Chunshen would ask Li Yuan to inquire about Mi Huai's whereabouts in advance.When Su Qin was about to come, Mr. Chunshen was even more concerned, so he sent a confidant to contact Li Yuan to report King Chu's whereabouts at any time, otherwise, he would not be able to see him even if he wanted to.Su Qin frowned when he heard this, feeling heavy in his heart. King Huai of Chu was reclining on his couch, watching a newly rehearsed song and dance, humming to the beat with great interest, when he saw Chun Shenjun in a yellow shirt rushing in, and behind him was a crownless The man in red couldn't help frowning, sat up reluctantly, and waved the dancers to go down. "My lord, Chunshen Lord Huang Xie is here to see my king." "Mr. Chunshen, this place is a royal palace, not a city for people, you understand?" King Huai of Chu squinted at the man in red, with a cloudy expression on his face. "Oh, my king, this person is the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms and Wu Xinjun Su Qin whom you have praised so much." "Ah——" King Huai of Chu's long exclamation seemed to be moaning, but it was ups and downs, as if he had suddenly woken up.Following the long and ups and downs of exclamation, a smile finally covered his fat face, and his footsteps moved in front of Su Qin: "Mr. Wu Xin's name is as loud as thunder, and the previous king has repeatedly said that he will bring me to see you." He said, but his eyes kept coming He looked Su Qin up and down. Chunshen Jun was clear in his heart, and he cupped his hands and smiled, "Oh, my king, Mr. Wu Xin, who is full of travel and dust, has just arrived in Yingdu for an hour, and came to pay a visit before changing clothes after bathing." "Oh——" There was another long groan, "Mu Huai admired Wu Xinjun so much. Come, come, sit here, talk slowly, come, serve tea—" Mi Huai originally He wanted to call for wine, but thought that this is not suitable for the hall to place wine casually, so he stumbled and called for tea, and his face flushed even after he stammered. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your courtesy." Su Qin bowed his hands respectfully, expressing that he fully understands that this is the special respect of the King of Chu. Mi Huai originally didn't like arrogant celebrities, but now seeing He He Suqin being so humble and courteous, she felt very relieved, and said with a smile: "You are a humble gentleman, Mr. Wu Xin is a man. That Zhang Yi is your younger brother? How can you be so arrogant?" "Qin is strong, Zhang Yi is naturally strong." "Is Qin strong?" Mi Huai's eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't Qin powerful?" Su Qin also opened his eyes wide in surprise. Mi Huai was startled, but suddenly laughed: "It's interesting to come back! Qin is a powerful country, a country of tigers and wolves." "Since it's a tiger and wolf, does your majesty know what kind of tiger it is? What kind of wolf it is?" Su Qin was also very interested. Mi Huai shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, a tiger wolf is a tiger wolf, isn't it the same?" "That's natural." Su Qin replied with a leisurely smile, as if an old man was telling a strange story to a child: "It's a jungle tiger, it's a Zhongshan wolf." "Jungle tiger? Zhongshan wolf? How powerful?" "It's really powerful." Su Qin seemed to be terrified: "The jungle tiger eats people without spitting out bones, and the Zhongshan wolf can transform into a deceitful person and suck up people's bone marrow." "have you seen?" "Yes." Su Qin nodded: "I was almost bitten by a Zhongshan wolf and sucked out the bone marrow." "Oh—!" Mi Huai's face turned blue: "Why are you still alive?" "Knowing that I must die, I fought with my life, but I survived." "Ah—" Mi Huai groaned and nodded suddenly: "As long as you fight hard, you can live." "Yes, yes, yes." Su Qin greatly appreciated: "I am not as smart as the king. This is what an expert told me: Zhongshan wolves can read people's hearts, and if people do not have the heart to fight to the death, the wolf will definitely eat you." .If you want to fight to the death, the wolf will let you escape." "Oh—!" Mi Huai exclaimed again, "Zhongshan wolf, sent by the heavens to eat cowards?" "Your Majesty, Shengming! That's exactly what the expert said!" Mi Huai laughed for a while: "How can I deserve it? How can I deserve it?" Shu Chang's face turned red. Su Qin said solemnly: "I should have made a lot of noise about the king. I don't think that the king has such insight into the nature of Qin. Su Qin feels ashamed, so he stops talking." "Mr. Wu Xin can rest assured!" Mi Huai said generously, "This king swears to inherit the legacy of the previous king! Do you understand? If they didn't make trouble, this king would not even see Zhang Yi! Do you understand?" "I know, I know." Su Qin nodded again and again: "I just wait for the king to send an army and horses to fight Qin." "That's right." Mi Huai straightened her chest and said, "Chu sent 100,000 troops, is that enough?" "Your Majesty is majestic, and Su Qin admires him very much." Su Qin bowed deeply to the end. "It's Wu Xinjun who understands me well, and she still says I'm stupid..." Mi Huai muttered, but stopped suddenly. Chun Shenjun tried his best to hold back his smile, and buried his face in his big sleeve and coughed violently for a long time.After getting out of the palace and boarding the car, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed endlessly: "Oh, Mr. Wu Xin, this, this is what you are waiting for the strategists to say?" On the couch.However, Su Qin said leisurely: "Those who talk about the master should judge the emperor's feelings, and say it because of the person. That's all." Chunshen Jun suddenly said: "Oh, I still can't wait, and I am too fierce and serious. Already?" Su Qin said: "If it's about another monarch, maybe that's the case, but with this king of Chu, I don't know. Maybe it's because I said I was lucky, and I hit the right track." As soon as he got back to the mansion, the elders gave Mr. Chunshen a brass pipe, saying that it was sent by Dr. Sanlu.Chunshen Jun quickly opened the copper cap and took out a page of parchment, and there was a line of large characters in front of his eyes - I will return it in five or six days to Anlu! Chunshen Jun was so surprised that he was speechless in a daze.Su Qin next to him asked: "Anlu? Is there an important place?" Chun Shenjun said in a low voice, "Yunmeng, the mountain city on the north bank of the Zee, the new army training camp, was originally in charge of Brother Qu Yuan." not talking.Mr. Chunshen said anxiously: "Oh, Mr. Wu Xin, will this old brother be reckless when he goes to Anlu now? Will he cause trouble?" Su Qin smiled and said, "At least it won't cause trouble. Qu Zi is a great talent, how can he?" Not so modest? Reckless, probably not, as for what he wants to do? I can't say for sure." Chunshen Jun said with a smile: "Oh, good, let's put it down first, and I will send a capable doorman to take care of him later. That's it. Let's go, let's eat first." After the meal, the two discussed in secret for another hour before Su Qin entered the dormitory.Exhausted from running around for days, he slept soundly until three in the morning. After washing and going out, he saw Jing Yan rushing over, reporting that the horse team had left the north gate and waited.Chunshenjun accompanied Su Qin to have a hasty meal, and after the meal, after exhorting each other, Su Qin and Jing Yan flew out of the city. Su Qin's plan is: take advantage of the period when the special envoy of Chu State has not returned from Xianyang, and Chu State will not make any definite actions, rush to Linzi as soon as possible to stabilize Qi State, and it is best to bring out Qi State's army and horses with Lord Mengchang. Go to Hulao Allied Army General Account; Qi State will definitely take care of Chu State later.
