Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong led Qin Yong, Ma Yuan, and Li Wenzhong, commanding an army of 100,000 people, and left Nishi City and sent troops to Dafan City.
Bai Qi, King Bimeng, Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, and Hua Mulan gathered the army in the city and sent a vanguard army to escort the grain and grass. Following Qin Qiong's army, it was obvious that the Chu army was preparing to move the strategic center to Dafan City.
For a while.
Inside Nishi City.
The war horses neighed, and the three armies were busy in full swing. In the general's palace, Emperor Chu sat alone under the pavilion in the backyard, his eyes stayed on the sparkling lake in front, his face was as sinking as water, his eyes were like knives, and he murmured to himself:
"Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. On the surface, it is calm, but in fact, it is turbulent. The current situation is just like this lake."
After the words fell, Emperor Chu fell into deep thought. His figure seemed to be embedded in the landscape and pavilion, completely natural, and his whole person was silent, like an old monk in meditation.
About an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps. Xiao Guizi stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, saying: "Your Majesty, General Sun sent soldiers to inform you that there is someone outside the city who claims to be Mr. Fusu from the Qin Empire and requests to enter the city to meet with the Holy Majesty. I don't know.
What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Master Fusu?"
"The four great empires met at Shenlong Mountain. What does the Qin Empire mean by sending Prince Fusu here at this time?"
Emperor Chu followed the sound and turned to look at Xiao Guizi, thinking to himself that the young master Fusu appeared outside the city, but the secret guards and the black crow soldiers were not aware of it. Emperor Qin's move left him a little confused.
The visitor was a visitor. How could the Emperor of Chu refuse to see him? He said, "Xiao Guizi, please send an order to Sun Shangxiang to send someone to escort Prince Fusu to the General's Mansion."
"We are all old friends. We haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."
A faint smile appeared on Emperor Chu's cheek, he waved for Xiao Guizi to leave, got up and walked towards the side hall.
a long time.
Outside the general's mansion, a horse neighed. Emperor Chu put down the teacup in his hand and looked straight ahead. He saw two female generals, Qin Liangyu and Yang Miaozhen, walking slowly with their young master Fusu and two others.
"Da Qin, Young Master Fusu has met Emperor Chu!"
Fusu clenched his fist and raised it slightly, and a deep voice sounded. Emperor Chu smiled and said, "Prince Fusu, you are well. Farewell to Xuantian City. I miss you very much."
Hearing Emperor Chu say that he missed him, Fusu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was horrified. It was not a good thing to be missed by Emperor Chu.
In Lingxiao Valley, Emperor Chu killed thousands of miles to save Nangong Xi and completely destroyed the Temple of Death. The battle was so shocking that Fusu still remembers it vividly.
Speaking of missing him, Fusu always thought about Emperor Chu and used him to spur him on.
"It is really a blessing for Fusu to be remembered by Emperor Chu. Why, Emperor Chu is not going to let me sit down and talk about it. This is not the way of hospitality in Chu country."
"Haha~"
"I was a little excited when I saw the young master, and I actually forgot all the etiquette."
"Xiao Guizi, quickly give seats to the three distinguished guests from Da Qin!"
Fusu fluttered his sleeves and walked towards the wooden case. The two old men behind him snorted angrily. It was obvious that they did not take Emperor Chu to heart, but they were trying their best to restrain themselves. This matter was of great importance and the two old men did not dare to disobey Emperor Qin.
The command.
"The prince is not enjoying life in the Imperial City of Qin. He has traveled a long distance to the remote and remote area of the Tubo Empire. I don't know what is important!"
Emperor Chu chose to get straight to the point and appeared directly to ask. After hearing the voice, Fusu's face was as dark as water, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and he looked confident.
"Emperor Chu, are you curious? Why did your country's secret guards and Black Crow Death Soldiers not send back any news when a certain person appeared at the foot of Nishi City?"
"Actually, the Emperor of Chu need not be surprised. A certain person came to Nishi City in person. Not only did your country not receive the news, but the three kingdoms of Longtang, Han and Khan also didn't know about it."
"Compared with the fact that Emperor Chu already knows about the meeting of the Four Kingdoms at Shenlong Mountain, I came here today just to discuss the alliance with Emperor Chu. Here is a letter written by my father."
A letter appeared in Fusu's palm, and he raised his hand and handed it to Xiao Guizi. At this time, Xiao Guizi was in panic. He had always been in charge of the secret guard, but now he had humiliated Emperor Chu. He was so flustered that he forgot for a moment.
Take the letter from Fusu's hand.
Looking back at Emperor Chu, he saw Emperor Chu giving him a look. Xiao Guizi stepped forward to take the letter and returned to hand it to Emperor Chu.
"Qin and Chu form an alliance?"
"While Emperor Qin was attending the meeting of the Four Kingdoms, he asked his son to come and form an alliance with me. I don't quite understand what this move means."
Emperor Chu's expression was solemn, and he secretly thought that he had always underestimated the Qin State, and the secret guards and black crow warriors were useless in front of the Qin Empire.
No wonder Fusu could appear in Nishi City quietly. He was afraid that Fusu deliberately leaked the incident on Shenlong Mountain to the Black Crow Dead Soldiers.
"What does it mean? My father's letter contains the answer that Emperor Chu wants. Now the situation of Chu State is known to the whole world. I believe that Emperor Chu needs allies like us, Da Qin."
"The letter has been delivered. Emperor Chu will think about it carefully and I won't bother you here. After three days, I hope Emperor Chu can give a reply."
Fusu spoke, stood up, and led the two old men to walk outside the general's mansion. Seeing this, Emperor Chu signaled Xiao Guizi to send the three of them away.
The Emperor of Chu fell into deep thought again. Yesterday, he and Jiang Shang speculated that the kings of the four kingdoms might be subordinates of the war king Chi Tai. Now Fusu has sent a letter from Emperor Qin. Is there something wrong with their guess?
If Emperor Qin was not Chi Tai's old subordinate, why did he go back to Shenlong Mountain to attend the meeting of the Four Kingdoms? The Emperor of Chu was puzzled and looked up to one side.
"Liangyu, Miaozhen, you two go to Mr. Jiang's residence and convey my order to him to come to the General's Mansion."
Generals Qin Liangyu and Yang Miaozhen took their orders and left. Emperor Chu sat in front of the wooden case and raised his hand to open the letter sent by Emperor Qin. He squinted his eyes and read it quickly.
A little while.
Emperor Chu put down the letter with a wry smile on his face. Emperor Qin's attitude in the letter was very clear. The two countries formed an alliance, and Qin would send troops to help Chu defeat the four kingdoms of Longtang, Han, Khan, and Devouring Heaven, making Chu the true overlord of the Eastern Continent.
The requirement is that after the unification of the Eastern Continent is completed, Chu State must surrender to Qin and become a subordinate kingdom of Qin State. If the alliance is not agreed, the Four Kingdoms Meeting will be formally established, and the Chu Emperor will be responsible for the consequences.
Intimidation and inducement, such a deep calculation.
Emperor Chu had regarded the Four Kingdoms as enemies of Chu from the beginning, so it was impossible for him to agree to Emperor Qin's request, but this letter was not without value.
It can be seen that Emperor Qin not only wanted to dominate the Eastern Continent, but also the Western Continent beyond Tianhe. In his hegemony, he was obviously preparing to unify the world and become the emperor without mercy.
This is quite consistent with history. Emperor Qin Yingzheng eventually became the emperor of the ages.
In addition, Emperor Chu could see that Emperor Qin and the three kingdoms of Longtang, Han, and Khan were not colluding yet, and this could be exploited.
Moreover, Emperor Chu is the master of Ziwei Star and a man of destiny. How could he be willing to live under others? Emperor Qin wanted to unify the eastern and western continents and complete the true unification of the world. Didn't Emperor Chu have such thoughts?
Therefore, alliance is impossible and will never be possible! (To be continued)
