Chapter 58 Failure
"Hahahaha..." Zhao envoy Wei Jia laughed in the inn. Following him, the servants who were following him also laughed. Amid the laughter, the concerns of the Chu-Qin League disappeared earlier. Everyone laughed at the King of Chu and ridiculed the Qin people for bragging.
It is indeed bragging. At the city of Yingdu, the Qin State did not connect to the Huai River, and the upstream of the Huai River could not sail. As long as the Chu army retreated, the boats were burned or transferred southward, and by land transportation alone, the Qin army could not reach Yingdu at all. Only when Qin State occupied Wei State and through the gulf connecting the Yellow River, the waters and the Sui River thought that it was transported, could it attack Chu State with an army of 800,000. If this is not the case, it would be bragging.
"I dare to ask the doctor, before..." the close servant made a killing posture, "How about it?"
"Chu and Qin did not have a good alliance, but instead made each other fight. Killing them is not only useless, but also makes the Chu people angry at our Zhao State." Wei Jiayouran said. His previous plan was to send dead soldiers into the yard where the Qin envoy lived and kill them quickly.
"The villain knows it." The servant bowed and replied. He thought of the King of Chu ridicule the Qin people for bragging, and smiled again on his face.
"Can you know where Mr. Wu Guan is at this time?" Wei Jia asked again. The Empress Dowager is a chess move, and the Taifu is also a chess move. The Empress Dowager's move was not successful for some reason, but he believed that there would be no problem with the Taifu's move.
In the slept, the ministers had dispersed, including the doctor Lu Zhuo, who was slightly engaging in the waters. At this time, Xiong Jing was facing the Taifu Yu Guanzi alone.
"Want to have a Qin relationship?" Yu Guanzi's voice was weak, and he went to Zhao to sleep in the open air, asking Zhao to send troops and was exhausted. During this period, he felt like an old swordsman. His sword style, which was used to be handy, is always clumsy when he was in Zhao. This is the case when he returned to Chu.
"That's right." Facing his teacher Xiong Jing, he seemed frank. Whether it was a fight or a defeat, he had to make good efforts with Qin. The battle was just a price.
"Hey..." Zi Guanzi Taixi, "If Zi Jing cannot take this opportunity to join forces to attack Qin, there will be no chance of recurrence in the world. Ten years later, Zhao State will not exist, and more than ten years later, Chu State will not exist. Zi Jing really wants to abandon the country and sail in the sea boat, and travel in the world?"
Xiong Guanzi sighed long and felt guilty when Xiong Jing heard it. He said helplessly: "Teacher thinks that King Zhao really wants to join forces with Zong and fight with Qin? Teacher, can you know that Wei has followed the Qin envoy's words and no longer join forces with Zong? Teacher..." Xiong Jing also sighed, "In the battle of Qingshui Hebei, 270,000 Chu troops fought against 210,000 Qin troops. At that time, the Qin army entered the hidden danger of our central army. However, the left and right armies were defeated by the Qin soldiers and could not attack at all! Can you win by attacking Qin in such a joint force?"
"..." The news that Wei State was not in harmony with Zong did not surprise Yu Guanzi. From the time when Zhao envoy Wei Jia met with Zhao envoy Wei, he knew that the King of Wei who suffered a loss would offer Zhao Chu to Qin in exchange for his own peace. A newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. Wei Zeng, the King of Wei who had been ascended to the throne for five years, had long woken up from the dream of Xinling Junhe Zong's victory over the Qin army, and he never dared to join Zong again.
Although Zhao State said to send troops in October, the Zhao army actually set off its camp in November. Even if it sent troops, even if it was approaching the Yellow River, the Zhao army did not recruit ships in large quantities, and the intention of not fighting was fully demonstrated.
Xiong Jing's question was that Feng Guanzi was speechless, but the strength in the blood of the Zhao people still prompted him to say: "Those who do will always succeed, and those who walk will always arrive. Even if they cannot unite to attack Qin, they can echo the north and south of Zhao, or they can attack Qi to increase their national strength."
"I have asked the ministers about how Qi State can be used to attack Qi, but Qi State cannot be conquered. Qi State is similar to Chu State, and it is also different from Chu State. When Naochi killed King Min of Qi, he was killed by nobles and the nobles, and then the people of Chu State revolted. When Wu army entered Ying, the people of Chu State revolted. It can be seen that the rule of Qi State was the same as that of Chu State, and it was not the best. Once Qin State sent troops to rescue him, the people of Qi State responded, and the Chu army had no other plan to retreat. They could only obtain gold, jade, bells and tripods, but could not obtain food, soldiers, and it was not advisable to attack Qi."
Xiong Jing helplessly rejected the teacher's strategy of attacking Qi. Although he explained the above reasons, he still didn't say some things:
'I would rather go on the East China Sea, and I would not be the emperor of Qin'. This is the blood of the Qi people. There is also Tian Heng, a nobleman of Qi who would rather commit suicide than submit to the Han Dynasty. In such a Qi country, even if the Chu and Zhao army occupied Qi, they could not summon Qi people into an army, and they could only obtain gold and jade taxes from Qi. What Chu lacked is people, and they could not obtain population in attacking Qi, but instead had to pay the occupying army. Then the Qi people cooperated with the Qin army and drove themselves away. In the end, except for Qin, they would add an enemy out of thin air, which was equivalent to shooting themselves in the foot.
"What do Zi Jing want?" asked Wu Guanzi. After two months of separation, he found that Xiong Jing had become extremely unfamiliar.
"Reject Qin to save the country, and do not place hope outside, but inside..." Xiong Jing said. Although he answered, he was hesitant to tell the plan and refer to the teacher's opinions.
"There is no hope inside." Yu Guanzi interrupted. He lived in Chu for decades and knew much more about Chu than Xiong Jing, and far better than many ministers in the court. "If Chu implements Qin laws, the country will be in chaos. Moreover, the county Yinyi Yin, the princes and nobles all have enemies with Zijing. The Qin army attacked more than ten years later, and the Chu State will defeat itself without attacking it."
"If..." When Xiong Jing was about to speak, Chang Jiang walked in and he whispered: "Master, Doctor Sanlu Qu and Jun Yang Wen asked for a meeting."
"Doctor Qu, Yang Wenjun..." Xiong Jing was a little confused. Yang Wenjun knew that this man was the same generation as his father and had used to fight for the throne with his father. After his father ascended the throne, he was silent for more than 20 years without leaving his home. He only came out for activities recently. His position was to be close to Qin. How could Doctor Sanlu bring him to see him?
"Since Doctor Qu asked for a visit, I took my leave." Feng Guanzi wanted to stay, but Yili had to leave.
"Teacher..." Xiong Jing was about to let him stay, but suddenly he saw Chang Jiang blinking, so he had to change his words: "...Please rest first." After he left the bed, he asked Chang Jiang: "What's the matter?!"
"King, Qin envoy Xiong Qi is here." Chang Jiang attached to Xiong Jing's ear and said in a voice that only Xiong Jing could hear.
"Ah! Qin..." Xiong Qi, the Qin envoy who was in the forefront just now, was so arrogant and disdainful of Chu, actually came again. "He is here, why did he come?"
"You will know when you summon me. Please ask the king to retreat, especially the people of Zhao." The long ginger, not bearded, was full of vigilance. He was very glad that the Zhao servant named Ge no longer served the king.
"No." Xiong Jing was still wondering why Xiong Qi came to see him, so he agreed randomly and asked Chang Jiangping to retreat.
"The king summons. Doctor Qu, Lord Yangwen, and Envoy Qin." Chang Jiang, who was standing back, did not send a servant to welcome the guests, but personally went out to bed to lead people into the court. Xiong Qi was decorated with a slave, and sighed with a yelling "Qin Envoy". When he entered the Yan Dynasty, he saw the thin Xiong Jing sitting upright on the table. He was still excited and stepped forward and bowed: "My brother Xiong Qi pays homage to Brother Wang!"
"This!" Xiong Jing was shocked. He couldn't figure out why the arrogant Qin envoy had become a gangster. At most, he thought that the Qin envoy, who was on the surface, might be a mutual communication song to make the two countries quit soon.
"King," Qu Sui signaled, "Zi Qi is my Chu native, and it is a last resort to staying in Qin, and the words of the hall were also a last resort."
"Brother, please get up." Qu Sui understood Xiong Jing as soon as he said this. He helped Xiong Qi up with some excitement after leaving the table.
"Brother Wang!" Xiong Qi looked at Xiong Jing carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt like his younger brother Chang Wenjun. His bloodline was the uncut bloodline!
"My brother Jing is the King of Chu, and this is God blessing the State of Chu." Xiong Qi bowed again. He worshipped not Xiong Jing, but Dongfang, which was the place where the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was. He worshipped Qu Sui and Yang Wenjun also worshipped him. Xiong Jing was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with him.
After paying a seat, Yang Wenjun said, "Zi Qi sent Chu. Since he was quitting the army for the two countries, he also worshiped the former kings. The battle against Chu was done by the Qin prime minister Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei and Zhao State were two or five. Knowing that the Qin King wanted to cut off his relatives from Zhao, he replaced him with Chu ministers, so he used the name of Suozhi to attack Chu, and wanted to suppress Chu ministers. Now Zi Qi has defeated Lu Buwei, and the government affairs are all under the jurisdiction of Chu ministers..."
Qin State is the center of the world. The Qin Palace's no wars allude to the world, which is a war between mountains of corpses and blood. Xiong Jing understands this truth, isn't this the case in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China?
In order to encircle Russia to the south, Western Europe supported Germany, the Near East supported the Ottomans, and the Far East was the Qing Dynasty and Japan competed with them. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan began to officially support Japan. Japan and Britain won the Russo-Japanese War, which was the division of East Asia and excluded the powers.
Then the war ended, Britain was weakened, and the Labor Party rose in China. It had to terminate the Japanese-British alliance under the pressure of the United States, and instead signed the nine-country convention, gradually withdrawing from the Far East. At the same time, the Soviet Union defeated Warsaw, Lenin turned to attack weak areas of imperialism, supporting Turkey, Polish Communist Party, the South China Sea Communist Party, and Sun Wenhe...
A weak country can only passively accept the transformation of hegemonic politics and survive in the tiny cracks. Working hard is not very important, the key is to grasp the wind direction. At this time, the wind direction changed, and Qin, who attacked Chu, was preparing to destroy Zhao. In other words, the war against Chu was just a small twist in the policy of destroying Zhao, but this small twist also made Chu fight all his life and put all his bets on.
Before Yang Wenjun finished speaking, Xiong Jing felt cold sweat and his hands and feet cold - the great battle he bet on his life was just a small fault in the huge war machine of Qin. Now the operator has come and told him, who is still in shock: The fault has been eliminated and you are safe.
Powerless! He was weak all over, and then he was discouraged. Fortunately, he still remembered that he was the 33rd generation and forty-three kings of Chu. He had to inherit the will of his ancestors and continue the country of Chu.
"King?" Qu Sui saw something wrong and asked.
"I, I'm fine." Xiong Jing looked at Xiong Qi again: "Brother, is the King of Qin determined to destroy Zhao?"
