Chapter 57: Meeting 2

"Summons——! The Qin envoys went to the hall." The envoys Zhao left, and the gurus immediately called the envoys of Qin. After hearing this, Wei Jia changed his anger when he left the hall, and stood outside the thatched gate and bowed slightly to the envoys with a smile on his face.

Xiong Qi and Li Si entered the court together. Li Si was surprised to see Zhao Jun smiling. Xiong Qi didn't look at Zhao Jun at all. His eyes were attracted by the Chu Palace since he entered the court. The Qin Palace was majestic and the Chu Palace was gorgeous. It was also a palace of four heavy houses. The Qin Palace looked extremely majestic due to its terrain. The Chu Palace was built on the flat ground. Although it was high and profound, it gave people the impression that it was not majestic, but a delicate beauty.

Such a Chu Palace is only in the narrative of his childhood father. At that time, his greatest yearning was to return to Chu State as soon as possible and take a look at the extremely gorgeous Chu Palace as soon as possible. In just a blink of an eye, it was more than 30 years later. More than 30 years later, he was already a native of Qin; more than 30 years later, the father and son were separated by life and death, and more than 30 years later, the mother palace was already an enemy country.

"Be careful, Prime Minister." He had to upgrade to the ranks when he entered the hall. Xiong Qi was staggering when he went to the ranks, so Li Si quickly reminded him.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm thinking..." Xiong Qi couldn't continue to say anything, and he couldn't say a word of what he was thinking about.

"Quick." Xiong Jing was not in the court. At this time, he was changing clothes behind the door. When he saw Zhao wearing leather suits, he showed that the Chu State was peaceful. When he saw Qin envoy wearing Wei suits, he said that Chu State was still in war. If he could reach the end, he would be peaceful. If he could not reach the end, he would fight. The Qin envoy had already advanced, and ascended the hall and entered the house. When the Qin envoy was in the room, Xiong Jing had returned to the king's seat. The court officials looked back at the Qin envoy, and when they turned around, they found that the king had changed into Wei suits, with a color of blood, and was extremely dazzling.

Xiong Qi, who had just entered the court, did not see King Chu Luo Xi, but only saw his small figure standing alone with Wang Xi, wearing bloody clothes, with a cold and bright eyes, and his hair was broken. It was rumored that the King of Chu saw the corpse of a commoner who was ordered to be killed by Sikong Ma in Yiyi, and had cut off his hair to thank the people.

"Qin envoy..." Li Si didn't know that the right prime minister was still distracted, so he began to visit the King of Chu as usual. He couldn't help but turn his head after reading two words. At this time, Xiong Qi came back to his senses and bowed to him, "...Xiong Xiong Qi met the King of Chu."

Is this my brother? Xiong Jing was also looking at Xiong Qi. Of course he knew that Xiong Qi was also the son of his father. This older brother was not tall, about seven feet and two inches tall, with a mysterious clothes and a mysterious dress, about 30 or 40 years old, with a wide forehead, a square face, and a twisted beard. Although he looked a little rough, his eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, and he looked very much like his father.

"King..." Xiong Jing did not answer as usual, and Chang Jiang couldn't help but remind him softly.

"...The noble envoy is exempted from courtesy." Xiong Jing said loudly and then began to be polite: "What is the matter with this?"

"I came here to make the alliance between Qin and Chu as good as before." Xiong Qi exclaimed and began to perform his duties - because he was a Chu native, he had to be more arrogant than ordinary Qin people. "However, your country was rude and the visit was delayed again and again. Today, I summoned the envoy Zhao first and then summoned the envoy. Will the king want to neglect my Great Qin?"

"The Qin envoy is wrong!" Zi Wu said, who had not said a word just now, "The Zhao envoy first entered our country, and the Qin envoy later entered our country. The king should summon the Zhao envoy first and then recruit the Qin envoy."

"The State of Zhao is worthy of comparing with our Great Qin!" Xiong Qizhu said proudly. "My widow in our country has been in good marriage for hundreds of years, so he sent his envoy to Chu to be good. If your country can apologize to our Great Qin and promise not to join forces with Zhao and Wei in the future, the two countries should follow their blood and decide to reconcile their marriages. Otherwise..."

"What else?" Qin envoys are famous for being arrogant, but as arrogant as Xiong Qi, all the court officials in the court could not stand it. Xiong Qi was still 'orrhythm', so they shouted in unison, 'What else would'.

"The Qin army is a army of hundreds of battles, and the Qin army is a powerful country in the world. If your country does not follow, the two countries will fight again. My army of a million Qin army is not afraid of you, Chu State!" Looking at the court officials on both sides, Xiong Qi looked disdainful. "A wicked king of our country ordered him to go down the river and pull down all the cities along the river; Chengyang and Xixian County were also surrounded by the Qin army again. Although the Chu army was brave, the 210,000 Qin army had already sent the king to personally fight the battle formation and vowed to fight in the formation, and he would fight side by side with his soldiers, living and dying together. What about the 800,000 army? When the 800,000 army entered the city of Yingdu, Yingdu will be defeated, and the king and Qing became prisoners of the Qin army. Zhao people, Wei people..."

"Irregular!" The ministers, including Zimo, only turned blue when they heard it. After cursing in their hearts, Nao cried out loudly. "I heard that Qin State and barbarians are the same customs..."

"Naoqing!" Xiong Jing stopped the furious Naojing and waited for a quiet moment before he said: "I have heard that the area of ​​the Wei River in Qin State, the water was fast and the beach was dangerous and the wooden boat was difficult to move. Therefore, the whole cow skin was peeled off, tied the limbs and seven orifices, leaving only one hole. Take it out when crossing the river and blow it hard. The air was bloated and the skin was drumming. When the skin was as big as a cow, tightened the air holes, and then you could take it to cross the river."

All the ministers told stories to the king, but today the sun came out from the west, and the king told stories to the ministers. The ministers who were so scared by Xiong Qi's million-strong army that their faces turned blue were concentrated on listening to the king's stories.

"However, there are people in Qin who like to brag. When their skin is as big as a cow, they still brag hard. They will blow continuously. After a few years, the ox is so angry that it is thousands of miles away. The wind blows and its hooves are like clouds hanging from the sky..."

"Haha..." At first, the ministers were still listening to the stories, but when they heard Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou's words, they immediately realized that the king was just making fun of the Qin people, and immediately laughed.

Xiong Jing did not laugh, and he said seriously: "This giant bull floated in the air, and the people and beasts on the ground were both shocked. He thought it was a god, so he set up a platform to worship and killed animals for sacrifice. Unexpectedly, a phoenix pecked at it because of the strangeness. The skin broke and the air was suddenly discharged. He fell to the ground and looked at it again, with only one cowhide ear!"

"Haha..." Whether it's a real smile or a fake smile, the laughter in the court was like a boiling sound, and the panic atmosphere of millions of troops had gone away.

"I dare to ask what the king wants?" Before Pi Fa appeared in Qin, Xiong Qi was already angry.

"No intention. The unspoken only wants to remind the envoy that when the 800,000 army entered Yingdu, first ask the counselors where the military rations and supplies came from." When the ministers of the millions of troops were frightened, they were as bold as cunning, and they only knew how to criticize him for being rude and did not know how to expose his cowhide.

"Hmph! Our army carried soldiers on boats, and one boat carried fifty people and three months of food. Why do we need to ask about military food and supplies?" Xiong Qi remained arrogant.

"Why don't you say that the 800,000 troops surrounded my capital?" Xiong Jing knew that he was rolling in, and didn't care. He just said, "The envoy spoke to the Zhou Shi, but Buyan advised him: The Qin army's Zhou Shi must be wiped out when they meet our Chu army. If the envoy does not believe it, you can send ten warships into Ying. Buyan also sent ten warships to let you go upstream and fight at any time.

If the Qin army wins, the unscrupulous apologizes to Qin and promise not to join forces with Zhao and Wei in the future. The two countries should follow each other and then marry well. If the Chu army wins, the Qin State should apologize to our Chu State and return to our Chu State with Ji County. The Qin army retreats to the west of Fu County. Do you dare?"

After Xiong Jing said that, he looked at Xiong Qi, and smiled on his face. Xiong Qi also looked at Xiong Jing, wondering why he wanted to fight like this.

"Prime Minister, I heard that those who are in the upper reaches of the water battle will win, King Chu..." Li Si was clever and confused.

"You must not!" Naojiu was shocked when he heard this. He was no better than a civil servant, and knew the advantages of the upstream of the water battle.

"Is this true to King Chu?" Xiong Qi was shocked and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"You don't have any jokes, so you will take it seriously." Xiong Jing's smile was still the same, but his expression was a little stiff.

"Okay. However, if I am defeated, I will be slaughtered Jiyi. If I am defeated, the State of Chu will be slaughtered Xieyi. This is fair." Xiong Qi didn't know if he wanted to give Xiong Jing an excuse to repent, so he added conditions. "And if ten ships are not in an array, if you want to fight, you will fight a hundred ships. Will the king agree?"

"It is natural for you to accept it if you are not honest, will your king agree?" Xiong Jing's heart skipped a beat, and Baichuan was already outside his plan.

"I, Qin people, are always proud of bravery, how can I be afraid of fighting? Please call the king to summon civil servants to make a covenant." As the Qin envoy, Xiong Qi was only fifty miles away even if he really paid Jiyi. And with the city in hand, the Chu army got only a piece of dead land.

"Make a covenant! The civil servants make a covenant quickly." Xiong Jing shouted to the left and right, regardless of the obstruction of Naojiu and others.

He made a covenant and sweared. Xiong Qi left calmly. As soon as he left, the court was in chaos. Xiong Jing ignored him and left the examination hall and entered the main hall. These important officials came after their butts.

"The king is wrong! How can the Qin people live in the upper reaches and our army live in the lower reaches." Naojiu said anxiously, "This battle is in the Chu territory again. If it is defeated, the morale of the army and the people will be destroyed."

"King, the Qin people must not be trusted, and the agreement cannot be trusted." Xie Yi was just a small town on the upper reaches of the Huai River on the Chu-Qin border. Shen Yin-Yi thought Xiong Jing was deliberately losing to Qin to do so. "In the past, Qin envoy Zhang Yi coaxed his ancestor King Huai to go to a land of 600 miles..."

"Jiyi is less than 60 miles away." Xiong Jing emphasized, "Cities are just adding to the top, and what I want is Qin's apologies to our Chu State."

"The king thinks our army can win in this battle?" Luyang Jun was considered a relatively calm person. He heard Xiong Jing talk about the boat crossing the sea.

"Of course, you can win, otherwise why shouldn't you give up the upper reaches?" Xiong Jing muttered. "Where is the master Yin Dao, and where is the Gongshu doctor?"

"The king must not be deceived by the Qin people..." There were many court officials outside the bed, and these people arrived before they arrived. When they squeezed into the Yan Dynasty, they shouted loudly: "The Qin people have no faith, so please ask the king to join Zhao and reject Qin, so they must not be deceived by the Qin people."

"The Qin people condemned thousands of people from the Zhou army to enter Chu and apologized for their death. Why didn't the unscrupulous people agree?" Xiong Jing looked at the ministers. On the first day he looked at the court and found that most of the court officials were just showing off and had no choice but to intimidate the Qin envoys.

"The King Yu Zhengchao made a covenant with the Qin people: If the Qin State's boat troops win, they can retreat to Wei, and our Chu State will not pursue the rest of the Chu army except for the warship troops. The Qin people went from Nanjun to Shunjiang to Dongting, to Guangling and entered Hangou, and then went from Hangou to Huai River, entering our Chu territory for more than 4,000 miles. The dangerous rivers and tidal flats and the preparations of the cities along the coast all entered the eyes of the Qin army. In the future, the Qin people went down the water and the Chu State was in danger. The king must not promise the Qin people to Shunjiang to Chu!"
