Chapter 31 Union
Xiong Jing was thinking about Revagon. Revagon set out from Muling Pass a few days later and arrived in Linzi for ten days. It was not that he didn't want to be faster, but that the Qi people were smarter and would be smarter and would delay their journey. He also understood why the Qi people were like this, but that they just wanted to delay the time and wait for Qin to rescue. When they arrived in Linzi City, Qi seemed extremely enthusiastic. The Prime Minister of the State won the queen and welcomed him, and the inn was ready to eat and dance.
"The king has been sick recently, so he ordered his old minister to welcome Doctor Qu in his own eyes." Hou Sheng was slightly fat, and what impressed him most was his crown. All nobles had crowns, and different countries were different. Chu State liked high crowns, but Qi State liked giant crowns. The honor of the prime minister of Hou Sheng State wore a giant crown. When he first met, he was startled and thought that a dustpan had been inserted on his head. "Daught to ask Doctor Qu, Qu...?"
Seeing that Chu Jun was always staring at his giant crown intentionally or unintentionally, Hou Sheng was very proud, so he liked this feeling.
Reun Solemnly told him: "It is the ancestor of the family."
"Ah. It's the Queen of Qu'er?!" Hou Sheng seemed very surprised. He stood up and bowed, "Qu has visited Qi many times, causing the alliance between Qi and Chu. I respect it!"
The Chu State Council sent Qi Guang envoy Qi, so naturally he had the consideration of his identity as the grandson of Qu Yuan. When Hou Sheng bowed, he also returned the greeting and said, "This time he went to Qi to be a good alliance between the two countries. Your country took advantage of the danger of others and defeated Ju last year. The widowed king was furious and sent the Grand Tutor Mr. Yu Guan to Zhao, hoping to destroy Qi with Zhao State, and use the Wenshui as the boundary to divide Qi State equally..."
"Ah--!" Hou Sheng was really scared. He knew that Feng Guanzi was a Zhao man, and he knew that Feng Guanzi was the Grand Tutor of Chu. What he didn't expect was that Chu and Zhao actually wanted to conspire to divide Qi.
"This is indeed the case." Quguang was not lying. "I originally wanted to use the boat to land in Anling and attack the back of Muling Pass, but because of the stone casting weapon, the boat commander went to Daliang to fight with the Qin people, so he failed to send the boat commander. If Qi does not make a good alliance with our Chu State, I don't know that our Chu State army will leave Muling and come to Linzi. I see that Linzi City is only six plates high, and the stone casting weapon can be broken in three days."
"Qi Chu, Qi Chu..." Hou Sheng is indeed not as good as his sister, Queen Queen. If the Queen heard this, he would have to fight back, then he could only murmur.
"Prime Minister?" Qu Guang shouted at him, and Ju Ju said, "We should join forces for Chu Qi to reconcile and drink a reward."
"That's right, that's right." Hou Sheng was already out of his mind. Although the wine was good, it was as light as water.
"Chu, Zhao, Chu and Zhao really want to join forces to attack me?" On the day of the palace, King Jian of Qi was worried. When the five countries attacked Qi, Qi was lucky to not perish. If Chu and Zhao were one south and one north, especially Muling Pass, and there was no pass in the south, the two countries really came to attack and would not have enough time to escape by then.
"What can Ruozhi do?" No one answered, and the King of Qi was immediately angry. "Who was it? Who asked me to attack Chu? Chu and Zhao joined forces to attack me, but Qin was not as good as saving me. What can Ruozhi do? What can Ruozhi do?"
"My..." Tian Luo, the general who originally suggested to attack Chu, stood up with a gritted head and said, "I advise the king that Qin is attacking Chu, and the Chu army will never launch a large-scale attack on us..."
"I'm confused!" Hou Sheng scolded: "I heard that Qin has withdrawn its troops, and I'm afraid that it has left Wei at this time."
"King, the Qin army retreated only thirty miles..." Hou Sheng knew that the Qin army was withdrawing, and Tian Luo also knew that his news was more accurate.
"What does the Chu envoy say? What does the Chu envoy say?" A kind mother defeated her son, and a fierce mother and son were timid. The King of Qi, who had lived in the shadow of his mother all his life, no longer wanted to expand his territory. He just wanted peace and peace.
"Report to the king, the Chu envoy said that he would reconcile with our Qi State and stop the war..." Hou Sheng bowed.
"Good! Good! Let's reconcile with the State of Chu and stop the battle." Before Hou Sheng finished speaking, King Jian of Qi agreed loudly.
"I dare to ask the Prime Minister, what about Muling Pass?" Yan Chao discussed that it was not only Tian Luo, Hou Sheng and the two, as well as Tian Jiao, the brother of the King of Qi. He was more sensible than his brother, and knew that the key to discussing Muling Pass was.
"Yes, how about Muling Pass?" King Qi asked anxiously, "If I join forces with the King of Chu, can Muling Pass return me?"
"Hao." Several people all looked at Housheng. When Housheng said that, all the stones in everyone's heart fell to the ground. He said again: "However, the Chu envoy said that Muling Wai Pass would not hand over to our Qi State to prevent our country from attacking Chu again."
"United Pass?" General Tian Luo was the most familiar with Muling Pass. Muling Pass is a city with two city defenses.
"It's the Wai Pass." Hou Sheng nodded, "Nei Pass also wants our Qi State to spend money to redeem the troops to repay the Chu State."
"Reden?" There has never been a precedent for redemption in disputes among the countries. If money can be used to solve the problem, it will be extremely beneficial to Qi State.
"That's right." Hou Sheng couldn't hold back his smile. "Third, our country of Qi should trade with us."
"Trade trade." King Jian of Qi asked two more words. These are also three points proposed by Reun: one is to divide the pass. That is, if both countries do not conquer in the future, they will separate the pass and live in danger and defend in danger. This is beneficial to the State of Chu. It is enough to break a wall next time you attack.
The second is redemption. Hou Sheng is known to all countries. The greedy gold of Yingdu cannot be transported to Muling Pass and then transferred to Linzi in a short period of time, so the refractive price of Qi was 30,000 gold, of which 10,000 gold was given to Hou Sheng.
Finally, there is trade. Last year, wars were fought again this year. If we have to fight again the next year, we must buy grain from Qi and horses from Zhao. Qi and Zhao were separated by the Yellow River, and Qin was difficult to blockade, so Qi had to agree to trade.
Whether it is ransom or business, the real problem is to live in separating the border. What if the Chu State breaks its promise and really attacks Qi with Zhao State?
"King, the battle between Qin and Chu has not ended. At this time, I am eager to negotiate peace with me. I should go slowly." Tian Luo instinctively felt that the Chu State sent envoys too urgently and could not easily join forces with him. "And the army of each county is collecting, and the 300,000 troops will be defeated if they fight against the Chu people."
"King, Qin and Chu have not fought, so why are you not finished?" Hou Sheng was thinking about the ten thousand gold and nothing else. "Although there are many troops of 300,000, what if Zhao State also sent troops to attack me, what should I do? General Pang Nuan of Zhao State is a Chu person. He failed to fight against Qin a few years ago. The Zhao people took their anger on me and immediately pulled Raoan. This time the Chu army broke through Muling Pass, and I am afraid that the Zhao State's army was on the way."
"I have something to say, I dare to sue you." When King Tian Jian of Qi was about to agree, Tian Jiao spoke up.
"Yan." Tian Jian looked at him and didn't like his advice very much.
"Please agree to the envoy of Chu," Tian Kuo's comments were unexpected. "However, the day of the alliance will be elected next month. If Qin does not attack Chu next month, I will join it; if Qin attacks Chu next month, I will not join it."
"What about the ransom?" Tian Kuoxing's plan was also a slow-down plan, but it was just a relatively clever slow-down plan. It was already June, and it was not wrong to choose the alliance next month, but Hou Sheng was concerned about money.
"This time, the Chu envoy brought 30,000 gold back to Chu, and our army redeems Nei Pass. If Qin attacks Chu, it will not be too late for me to regain Muling's Wai Pass." Tian Fu's suggestion finally made Hou Sheng relieved. This slow-down plan can not only stop Chu and Zhao from attacking Qi, but also recover half of Muling Pass. The situation will change in the future, and the only loss will be money, and Qian Qi is a lot.
"Oh, King Qi agreed?" In the inn, the refractive alliance was a little surprised that he had to wait ten days and half a month.
"That's right." Hou Sheng smiled, still wearing a large dustpan on his head. "Doctor Qu, don't forget..."
When Qu Guang knew that he was thinking about the ten thousand gold, he said, "Please rest assured that the Prime Minister of the State. The 10,000 gold will be transported to Muling Pass, and quickly return to Qi State and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"There is no need to transport it to Muling Pass. Thirty thousand gold will be handed over to you in Linzi City. If you leave Linzi, you will send someone to our mansion. How about it?" Hou Sheng didn't want the money to be transported to Chu, so he just suggested that the 30 thousand gold be handed over to Linzi in Yan Dynasty. "As for Muling Nei Pass, please return your country to our country this month. The king will join the King of Chu on Wushen next month to Muling."
The location of the alliance is in Muling Pass City. It is impossible for the Qi people to get back Nei Pass before the alliance, even if they pay the ransom. Vulcan smiled and said, "Why wait until the next month of Wushen? This month's Xin Chou is an auspicious day."
Wushen and Xinchou were almost twenty days away. Hou Sheng shook his head: "The day of Xinchou is too urgent. Can the king of your country rush to Muling?"
"There are sixteen days left before Xinchou. Our state of Chu has Feixun. In five days, I will be able to leave Ying." Vulcan said.
"Why is Doctor Qu so urgent?" Hou Sheng smiled faintly. He knew that the King of Chu was still in Chenying, and Chenying was more than a thousand miles away from Muling Pass, and he had to travel more than a thousand miles on the eleventh day. It was really too urgent.
"Not so urgent, why don't our Chu State divide Qi State equally with Zhao State? How can the Prime Minister get this ten thousand gold?" Vulcan was not worried that Hou Sheng could see the intention. Hou Sheng's greed for money was really beyond his original imagination. He was not even in the same room as this big dustpan.
"Well. I will advise the king to join the alliance this month." Later, he won the most serious one, "but there will be another five thousand golds for this matter."
"Five thousand gold?" Refractive screen shook his head. "This is a reward from our army soldiers, how can we..."
"Four thousand golds!" Hou Sheng took a step back, "I will make the king's alliance this month."
"At most three thousand golds." Reunqu said a number. It was not that he could not give it, but that he didn't want to give it. Hou Sheng was too greedy.
"Three thousand golds are too little." His concessions were not respected by Reun. Hou Sheng was unhappy, so he bowed and said, "Good."
Qu Guang didn't say anything, but just bowed to him, and then watched him walk out of the courtyard. Just when he thought he had done something wrong, Hou Sheng actually transferred it back, "Three thousand golds are three thousand golds, I hope Doctor Qu can fulfill his promise."
"I will naturally fulfill my promise. If the Qi Dynasty promises to join the widow of our country this month, I will send 3,000 gold to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Quguang looked at Hou Sheng and was extremely disgusted. The villain was in the position of Prime Minister, and Qi would perish.
