The man looked at Guo Yi's back with an expression of disbelief on his face. How dare this man be so arrogant and bold.
The car rushed all the way from the border.
One day later we arrived at Yangcheng, the capital of Chu State.
Yangcheng is an ancient city with a history of more than a thousand years.
The city wall is tall and majestic. It is not easy to capture this city. The city wall is more than 20 meters high. If the gate is full of archers, only a dense mass of archers can easily suppress the infantry charge and siege.
This city is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Guo Yi glanced at it. The only way to use this kind of city was to encircle it.
As long as we surround it with 100,000 soldiers for a year and a half, we can get the people inside to surrender. For such a large city, there are probably at least 500,000 people in this ancient city. The consumption of so many people is huge.
. Even if there is a lot of food stored in the city, it will not be able to support the consumption of 500,000 people.
Even if it is enough to sustain soldiers for ten years, the problem is what to do with hundreds of thousands of civilians? Will they be reduced to cannibalism?
Guo Yi entered the city and found an inn to stay temporarily.
He had already handed the document to his deputy and asked his deputy to send the document to the Chu Palace.
However, three days passed and there was still no news.
You must know that Zhao's troops will set off immediately at this time. If it continues like this, it will be impossible to stop Zhao's troops when they enter Chu's territory. Unless Chu declares war on Zhao and directly fights
The soldiers of Zhao State went to war.
However, this possibility is almost slim.
Therefore, Guo Yi was anxious because he could not see the King of Chu.
"Sir, there has been no news from King Chu. Are you not anxious at all?" said the assistant on the side.
"Why are you so anxious?" Guo Yi sighed and said, "If I don't even want to see you face to face, what else can I do? Even if my tongue is as bright as a lotus, there is no place for me to use it."
"But we can't keep waiting like this," the assistant said.
"Yeah, we can't keep waiting like this." Guo Yi smiled.
The assistant was stunned for a moment, then said: "I see that your face is bright, sir. Could it be possible that you already have a way to deal with it?"
"I heard that King Chu's daughter was deaf since childhood?" Guo Yi asked.
"It seems so." The assistant nodded.
"Then let's start from here." Guo Yi smiled faintly and said, "I heard that the King of Chu has been seeking miracle doctors all over the world but can't. Such a beautiful and delicate princess has always been deaf."
"Sir, is it possible that you also know the art of Xuanhuang?" the assistant was stunned.
"I know a little bit." Guo Yi nodded.
"But if the world's famous doctors can't cure the disease, how can you cure it?" the assistant asked hurriedly.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Guo Yi chuckled.
the next day.
King Chu received the news.
"Your Majesty, this person is probably a liar." A minister was furious and said, "As an envoy of the State of Wu, he actually used this method to see you. It's really shameful."
"Your Majesty, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor." Another minister said hurriedly.
King Chu frowned.
The State of Zhao had sent envoys a few days ago, and the two sides reached a friendly agreement. King Zhao took advantage of the State of Chu, and after destroying the State of Wu, promised to cede half of Youzhou City to the State of Chu. The King of Chu was naturally very happy.
You can gain half the city without spending a single soldier, so why not do it.
But now that the Wu State has also sent envoys, he can only stay behind closed doors. When the Zhao State army comes to see him again, it is considered a courtesy meeting. Otherwise, if the news spreads, it will damage the national prestige of the Chu State.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually swore that he could cure his daughter's deafness. If it couldn't be cured, he would have to deal with it himself.
If he just said that he could cure his daughter's illness at home, I would definitely not believe him.
However, he happened to add that it could not be cured and was left to its own devices.
Before even seeing a doctor, a military order was issued.
The King of Chu cherished his little daughter and regarded her as the apple of his eye since she was a child. He did not expect that such a thing would happen to him. The King of Chu was very moved in his heart. Anyone else would be moved.
After being silent for a long time, King Chu finally spoke: "No matter what, I must give it a try. What if it is true?"
"But what if it's not true?" the ministers asked.
"If it's not true, then drag him out and behead him." King Chu sneered.
"After all, he is an envoy of the State of Wu. If he is killed, wouldn't he be laughed at by everyone in the world?" the ministers said hurriedly.
"He committed the crime of deceiving the king first. If I kill him, who in the world would dare to laugh at me?" King Chu said.
When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to speak.
The King of Chu had already had an idea in his mind, so Guo Yi naturally entered the palace smoothly.
In the palace, all the ministers were present, and the King of Chu stood high above him.
The court hall was extremely solemn and solemn.
Guo Yi walked towards it alone. Hundreds of courtiers on both sides stared at Guo Yi, almost thinking that Guo Yi was an invading enemy. However, Guo Yi looked at him like an innocent person. He was wearing a white robe and had white hair.
, wearing a pair of old black cloth shoes, raised his head and chest, and walked towards the King of Chu step by step.
Guo Yi stood in the audience and calmly held his hands: "I know the magic of Xuanhuang and can cure the princess's disease."
"What a courage."
"You are just a charlatan, how dare you defraud our country of Chu."
"Your Majesty, drag this man out and kill him."
Before King Chu could speak, the courtiers on the side spoke first.
Facing the rebuke from the ministers, Guo Yi remained calm and said nothing.
When the King of Chu saw this, he waved his hand.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
The King of Chu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when you enter the palace this time, it may not be as simple as treating an illness, right?"
"Treatment is the first, admonishment is the second." Guo Yi chuckled.
"Do you want to persuade me?" King Chu raised his sleeves and said, "That's okay. If you can cure my little daughter's deafness, I will give you a chance to persuade me. But if you can't cure my daughter's deafness,
If you are sick, how about I push you out of the Meridian Gate and behead you?"
"Here." Guo Yi nodded.
"Your Majesty, there are many miracle doctors in the world, but no one has ever heard of this person's name. Your Majesty, please be careful."
"The Prime Minister's words make sense. Your Majesty, please be careful."
…
The courtiers persuaded him one after another.
At this time, Guo Yi stood up and said: "A bunch of cowards, a bunch of drunkards and rice sacks. The Zhao people are about to destroy all nine of your tribes, but you are still here to stop the only person in the world who can save the little princess. The only one who can save the little princess."
A person who can save the Chu Kingdom."
"Boy, you are seeking death with your arrogant words," the Prime Minister said angrily.
"Looking at your clothes, you should be the right prime minister of the Chu Kingdom, right?" Guo Yi asked.
