Chapter 99: Pang Zi envoys Chu

Chu and Qin are now two very friendly barbarians.

Su Qin once said: "If you unite vertically, you will be the king of Chu; if you unite horizontally, you will be the emperor of Qin." Chu and Qin were powerful barbarians with vast territory and millions of armors. However, starting from the era of King Huai of Chu, the state of Chu was in conflict with the state of Qin. Qin was always at a disadvantage in wars. King Chu Huai once used Qu Yuan to carry out reforms, but the nobles in the country resisted wildly, causing the reforms to fail. This was the period when Qin and Qi were competing for supremacy, because Chu The state had close relations with the state of Qi, so Zhang Yi went to the state of Chu to serve as a lobbyist.

Zhang Yi asked King Chu Huai to sequester Qi and cut off relations with Qi on the condition that the land offered for trade would be 600 miles away. King Chu Huai immediately agreed upon hearing this, but as a result, the diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi broke down. , Zhang Yi immediately changed his words and changed six hundred miles to six miles. The angry King Huai of Chu attacked the unfaithful Qin State, but returned with a disastrous defeat.

Later, the King of Qin invited King Huai of Chu to come for an alliance to end the grievances between the two countries. The simple-minded King Huai of Chu went there with a smile. However, he was caught by the King of Qin and stayed in the Qin State, leaving the Chu State without a leader. , the national power declined rapidly. King Huai of Chu angrily asked King Qin: When the countries are meeting for an alliance, even the envoys cannot be harmed, how can they detain the princes who come to the alliance?

The King of Qin smiled and told him: Isn't this a new idea created by your Chu State? When King Chu Cheng detained Song Xianggong during the alliance, it opened up a new path for the world. Our Qin State is a barbarian country, and we all learned from you. Yes.

King Qingxiang of Chu did not think about saving his father, he just wanted to ascend the throne as king quickly. However, in his time, Bai Qi attacked the Chu State and moved its capital to Chen. Even the royal family's cemetery was captured by the Qin people. , Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, and the King of Chu became autistic.

The autistic King Qingxiang of Chu no longer wanted to fight the Qin State. After hearing the news that the King of Qin wanted to lead the armies of South Korea and Wei to attack the Chu State with Wu'an Jun Bai Qi as general, the King of Chu was frightened to death. Ah, he hurriedly sent an envoy Huang Xie to Qin. Huang Xie was an eloquent and knowledgeable man. The king of Chu felt that he must have a way. After Huang Xie rushed to Qin, he hurriedly persuaded the king of Qin.

He said: Your Majesty, you see that Chu and Qin are both the most powerful countries. If we fight, the country of the Three Jins will win in the end. You'd better let Lord Wu An rest at home and don't wander around. Already.

When the King of Qin heard that what he said made sense, he told Huang Xie: It is okay to cease the war, but you need to send protons to the Qin State, and you, who is considered a capable person, have to follow. As long as the Chu State no longer provokes In the Qin State, I don’t want to use Lord Wu An!

So, the princes Xiong Wan and Huang Xie came to Qin as hostages and stayed there for ten years. After the death of King Qingxiang of Chu, Xiong Wan wanted to return to the country to inherit the throne, but the King of Qin refused. Huang Xie first went to persuade Fan Ju , and then used a trick to make Xiong Wan pretend to be a groom and leave Qin, but he stayed here. After Xiong Wan left, he ran to apologize to the King of Qin.

King Qin originally wanted to kill him, but Fan Ju dissuaded King Qin. Fan Ju just looked at Huang Xie with a smile and said, "When he goes back, he will definitely be Ling Yin of Chu State. This is a good thing."

Xiong Wanwan became the King of Chu, and Huang Xie became the Ling Yin, and the twelve counties in Huaibei were named Chun Shenjun. After Huang Xie became the Ling Yin, he faithfully implemented the strategy of building rapport with Qin. In order to test him, Fan Ju once sent troops After attacking the Chu State, Huang Xie immediately ceded the state mausoleum to the Qin State and did not resist at all. Seeing Huang Xie wagging his tail so well, Fan Ju stopped looking for trouble with the Chu State and set his sights on the Sanjin area.

Pang Nuan had long thought that it would be very difficult for the Chu State to send troops with such a loyal commander Yin Zai. However, he did not expect that he could not even see the King of Chu. He had just When he arrived at the capital of Chen, he was invited to Huang Xie's mansion and was put under house arrest. Every day's meals were delivered to him on time, but he couldn't go out and Huang Xie didn't come to see him all day long. They all stayed in the inner room, and there were more than a dozen Chu warriors standing in the courtyard, staring at them.

Pang Nuan's life was very pleasant, sitting in the inner room, eating and drinking, and he didn't seem to be worried at all. Mao Sui, who he took away, looked a little uneasy at the moment. Mao Sui stood by the window, observing Regarding the situation outside, he said to Pang Nuan: "Pang Gong, I think Huang Xie wants to give us as a gift to Qin." Pang Nuan smiled and said: "Do you think Proton is hostile? How will our country fare?"

Mao Sui was stunned, then quickly reacted and said: "After this proton came to the throne, he didn't seem to have the courage to take revenge. Instead, he became more and more friendly with Qin."

"That's because all he can hear in his ears are the sounds of peace talks... Now, it's different."

In the palace, Chunshen Lord Huang Xie looked at the stubborn King of Chu in front of him, and his heart was full of confusion. Huang Xie and King Chu had stayed in Qin for nearly ten years. The relationship between the two was very close, as close as brothers, so they stayed in Huang Xie. After Xie became the commander-in-chief, the King of Chu did not object to any of his proposals, but today, no matter what the King of Chu said, he would not agree to send Zhao's envoy to Qin. Huang Xie sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, , I know what you’re thinking.”

"But now is not the time to raise troops towards the Qin State." Huang Xie was thin and short. He was sitting in front of the tall and handsome King Chu, a head shorter. The King of Chu was tall and extremely burly, probably all of them. The king is the most general-like among the kings. At this moment, King Chu is like a child, turning his head away and pretending not to hear Huang Xie's advice.

"Your Majesty, who in the Chu State can be the opponent of Lord Wu An? Can the soldiers of the Chu State defeat the elites of the Qin State? How do I compare with the Marquis Ying? You and I have lived in the Qin State for so long. Don’t you still know how powerful Qin is? What Chu needs is to recharge its batteries. When the time comes, all the humiliations you suffered in Qin will be returned to Qin!!”

"The Kingdom of Chu is getting weaker and weaker, and the Kingdom of Qin is getting stronger and stronger! When is the best time? Is it when King Qin inserts the dagger into my chest?" King Chu suddenly became angry and stretched out his head to question. Said, seeing the King of Chu being so excited, Huang Xie was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will not send Zhao's envoy to Qin, but please think carefully and don't send troops to attack Qin. If you If you can find a general who can resist Wu Anjun, I will not dissuade you."

"People in high positions cannot start wars because of their own joys and anger. Please keep this in mind."

King Chu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay."

Huang Xie left the palace, and King Chu was left alone in Nuo Da's palace. King Chu stared blankly ahead, but was lost in memories.

"You, a coward from Chu, still dare to be so arrogant in Qin? Fight!!"

"Hahaha, your eldest father died here. Look, he was locked up here like a dog!"

"Come, take off his clothes and see how the Chu people's stuff is different from ours!"

The King of Chu trembled all over, and his trembling hands slowly wiped away the tears on his face. The experience in Qin State brought scars all over the young Master of Chu State, and the more serious scars remained in his heart. , to this day, he is inhumane and has no heirs.

Pang Nuan and Mao Sui finally met the tall and handsome King Chu in the palace. King Chu was not a domineering person. As soon as Pang Nuan was brought into the palace, King Chu walked up happily and enthusiastically They helped Pang Nuan sit down. Pang Nuan and Mao Sui could both speak Chu language, but they did not expect that King Chu could also speak some Zhao language. After the two parties met, the atmosphere was very harmonious. King Chu treated him like an elder. Treat Pang Nuan like that.

However, whenever Pang Nuan talked about the war between Qin and Zhao, King Chu would seem a little hesitant and hurriedly changed the subject.

After talking about Japan and China since sunrise, the King of Chu still refused to discuss the alliance in detail.

Mao Sui slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to take action.

Suddenly a warrior hurriedly walked into the palace, saluted King Chu and said:

"Xunzi asks for an audience."

When the King of Chu heard this, he couldn't believe it. He quickly stood up and shouted happily: "Invite him into the palace quickly!!"
