Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty: Qin Envoy Enters Wancheng

Chapter 350: Qin envoy enters Wancheng

On April 26, the second day after Zhang Chuan took office as General of Zhao, Zhang Chuan summoned a group of generals of Zhao in the Jinyang camp, starting his first discussion as General of Zhao, and at the same time establishing his authority. However, it is unknown what effect this time can achieve.

"Everyone, I will first ascend to the position of general, and I will rely on my support and help in the future. Especially General Sima Chong and General Li Rubing. General Zhao had told me more than once that the two generals were the cornerstone of the future of Zhao. I would like to ask for more advice from the two generals in the future!" Zhang Chuan said to everyone, and he also knew that many people would not agree with him as the position of general. He did not have the unparalleled prestige of Zhao Xin. Being able to become a general depends entirely on luck. He also knew that with his ability, it was just a transition. After all, he was not young anymore. The reason why Zhao Xin appointed him as a general before his death was largely because Zhang Chuan could temporarily stabilize the situation of the Zhao military. As long as this period of time passed, Zhang Chuan's position still needs to be given up.

But people are ambitious. In the past, they worked under Zhao Xin because Zhao Xin's ability and prestige were indeed very high. Zhang Chuan was willing to be Zhao Xin's younger brother. However, Zhao Xin is dead now. In terms of qualifications, only Sima Chong and Gongsun Jue can compare with Zhang Chuan. Zhang Chuan is thinking about how to firmly hold the position of the general, just like Zhao Xin, commanding a million-dollar army.

"Don't worry, General, the last general will do our best to help the general!" Sima Chong came out of Lie Dao, one of the former candidates for generals. He and Zhang Chuan made their debut at the same time. Although they were also one of Zhao Xin's successors, the defeat of Huishan was almost wiped out by the 100,000 Zhao troops. This was the worst defeat since the founding of Zhao State, so this means that his chance of taking over as general was the lowest among the three. In addition, he was by his side before he died, so he could hear Zhao Xin's will clearly, so he had to accept his fate.

After Sima Chong, another military giant, Li Rubing, also came out to support Zhang Chuan, but Li Rubing did not accept his fate like Sima Chong. After all, he was the most talented general in Zhao State after Zhao Xin. However, Zhang Chuan now has Zhao Xin's will and appointed King Zhao. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Li Rubing can only temporarily tolerate it. The two giants do not make trouble, and it is difficult for others to stand up, so they all expressed their support for Zhang Chuan.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chuan was very happy. Although he did not establish his authority, he had achieved his goal with the support of the entire army. Although he knew that many people here were pretending to flatter him, it was enough. In this way, he could temporarily hold the throne of the general. However, if he wanted to further consolidate his position, he still needed to make amazing achievements.

After this discussion, the military turmoil that Zhao State had expected did not occur, which made Zhao State's court very happy, and it also made many people in the court begin to agree with Zhang Chuan, thinking that he, as a general, did a good job.

Just as the Zhao military was changing old and new, Qin Censor Bailijin walked into Wancheng and was received by Deng Sheng in Jingyang Palace!

"The foreign minister, the Censor of the Qin Dynasty, Bailijin, pays homage to King Deng, wishing King Deng a long life!" Bailijin walked into Jingyang Hall and saluted Deng Sheng on the throne.

"Please get up quickly!" Deng Sheng waved his hand with a stern face, making people unable to see his mood at this time. Qin sent people to come this time, which was beyond Deng's expectations, but it was reasonable. Now that Zhao Xin has passed away, Zhao's collapse is halfway through the sky. If Qin does not seize the opportunity, it is not worthy of competing with Deng Zhao to compete with the world. However, the power of Qin alone cannot shake Zhao, so joining forces with Deng is imperative.

After Bailijin got up, Deng Sheng asked Bailijin: "I remember that my eldest Deng had never had any contact with you, and I was in Bashu and I was a little unhappy with you. I wonder what happened to the Lord from Chang'an?"

Baili Jin smiled and said, "Although there is some friction between our two countries in the Battle of Bashu, they are all for their own survival. Moreover, your country finally let our army go and gave up the land north of Jiameng Pass. My king is also grateful to King Deng. As for the foreign ministers coming this time, they were ordered by my king. One month later, my king will wait for King Deng's arrival in Hanshui!"

"What does the Zun Jia mean?" Deng Sheng was a little puzzled. Although he knew that Baili must have entered here to form an alliance for Deng and Qin, the Qin King suddenly wanted to invite him to the Han River. What does this mean? The Han River is one of the borders of Deng Qin. To the east of the Han River is Shangyong of Deng State, and to the west of the Han River is Hanzhong of Qin State. Why did the Qin King meet with him at the border?

Baili Jin bowed and said, "When King Deng returns to King Deng, I believe King Deng also knows that Zhao Xin, the world's top general, died of Zhao Xin's death seriously ill. After Zhao Xin's death, Zhao's pillar of the sky was cut off. Although Zhang Chuan took over Zhao Xin's position, Zhang Chuan was not Zhao Xin. He could not do what Zhao Xin could command the millions of troops in Zhao State. Therefore, this time is both an opportunity for my great Qin and an opportunity for your country. Therefore, my king wants to join forces with King Deng to plot against Zhao State together!"

Deng Sheng then understood that it was an alliance. It was probably because the King of Qin felt that the verbal alliance was not very reliable, so he followed the pre-Qin period, and joined the alliance with himself in the Hanshui River. Deng Sheng felt it was interesting. He had been ascending the throne for so many years and had never been an alliance with anyone. The Deng Qi, Chu, Chen and Peicheng alliance was not counted. At most, it was a temporary alliance of interests. However, the meaning of blood alliance was different, which meant sharing life and death. Although people nowadays do not value this, it still needed some sense of ritual for such a major event like alliance.

However, it is of great importance, and Deng Sheng did not respond at all, but said, "Zun Jia, the matter is very important at this time, and I will find it difficult to answer you for a while. Why don't you ask Zun Jia to wander in Wancheng for a while? After I discuss with my ministers, I will reply Zun Jia?"

Baili Jin nodded. He also knew that such a big thing was unrealistic to make a decision immediately. It was appropriate for people to discuss it. So he said, "This is reasonable and can be understood by the foreign ministers. It just so happened that the foreign ministers also wanted to appreciate the scenery of Wancheng. Then the foreign ministers stayed here for a few days, waiting for the good news of King Deng."

Deng Sheng nodded and asked Chen Qun, Minister of Rites, to arrange Bailijin, not to neglect it. After all, not only Qin wants to form an alliance, Deng is also very interested in this, so Bailijin must be well taken care of.

After the scattered dynasty, a group of important officials from Deng State came to Ganyang Palace. Deng Sheng then asked the surrender to close the palace gate and guarded the door outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

In Ganyang Palace, Deng Sheng looked at everyone and said, "You guys, in the court this morning, you have heard what the Qin envoy Bai Li Jin said. Let's talk about it. What do you think about this?"

"King!" Zhang Bin stepped out and said, "Now that Zhao Xin suddenly passed away, the people of Zhao are in panic and the army is in turmoil. This is a good opportunity for our Great Deng to attack the Northern Expedition. However, it is difficult to shake Zhao with our Great Deng alone, so it is imperative to form an alliance with Qin. However, I do not agree with whether to join the Han River with the King of Qin. After all, the matter of King Huai of Chu in the pre-Qin period is a lesson for the past!"

In the pre-Qin period, the ancestor of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, used the Alliance to seize King Huai of Chu and Wuguan, and captured him to Xianyang, imprisoned him until his death, further weakened the strength of Chu until his country was destroyed. Now, the King of Qin invited Deng Sheng to the Han River, and it was difficult to ensure that this thought would not be hidden in his heart, so Zhang Bin thought he could not go.

However, some people agreed to go to the Han River. Cui Hao stepped out and said, "King, Zhang Xiang's words are bad. In the past, Qin and Chu were running side by side. In order to weaken Chu, Qin would do this. However, the biggest enemy of Qin is not my Da Deng, but Zhao. If the King of Qin is a smart person, he would never dare to offend me Da Deng and seize the King. Once Qin dares to do such a thing, Qin will face two attacks from me Da Deng and Zhao. How can Qin with the strength of Qin resist?"
