At the end of June, when the war between Qin and Chu reopened, there were actually not many wars in the Chu territory except Chen Ying, Pingyu and Chengyang. Even Chen Ying, who had the largest number of enemies, was the fierce battle that night. After the Wei army was expelled from the city, the Qin and Wei army were only besieged from a long distance. Although the corridor outside the city continued to be built, the catapults were constantly bombarding and destroying.

The bloody war seemed to have turned into a civil and engineering battle. One side wanted to build a city and the other side wanted to demolish it. The corridor outside the city became thicker and thicker, and the catapults in the city became bigger and bigger, without the blood of killing.

The war lasted for two months, and the Wei State, which was responsible for supplying 550,000 troops (Pingyu still had 100,000 Qin troops and 50,000 Wei troops) food and fodder. The Wei State, which still had to transport food and fodder by land every day, could no longer support it. The envoys who entered Xianyang to pray went to groups of people, and sent away batches of beauties and treasures, but even the King of Qin could not see them. So the whole country discussed, saying that the son of Xiangbang could be killed, which forced the King of Wei to send hundreds of Wushou to the Xiangbang mansion.

The Wei State could not hold on, and the Chu State was not in good condition. Last year, the gold of Yingdu Prefecture had been empty by half, and the grain of Gaofu was also out of warehouse. This year, even though the country was not recruited from five feet to sixty, tens of thousands of soldiers were also recruited. The military expenditure may still be still, but the food and fodder were already short of the shortage. In those counties that usually steal military taxes, the corn in Gaokuli was not satisfied, and the current grain could still be used for harvest last autumn. At the turn of spring and summer, the millet and rice were not ripe, so where could there be any grain to adjust?

There was no grain to adjust, so I could only pay to buy it on the market. The price of millet, which was already high, rose again. Last year, the highest price of millet was fifty cents per stone, and in July this year, the highest price of millet exceeded sixty cents. The farmers were still good, and the servants and workers in the city had to be able to eat bean, leaf, taro rice every time. Fortunately, after the Chu Qi alliance, Qi State sold several batches of millet. The millet was transported into Chu State to suppress the price of millet, and did not soar again.

The Wei State could not support the supply of the 55th army of Qin and Wei. The Chu State, which fought a national war last year, was also very uncomfortable to resist Qin and Wei. The intention of marrying a daughter to seek peace last year, but this year it was even more urgent. I thought there was no hope for this matter, but I didn't expect that when the Empress Dowager Huayang was ill, the King of Qin agreed.

Marrying a daughter, withdrawing the army, and joining the alliance is the result of secret contact between the two sides. Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and asking for appointments, the series of marriages and marriages progressed very smoothly. However, after receiving the silk book from Changwenjun of Xianyang last month, Yang Wenjun felt that withdrawing the army would not be so simple.

"I've met Yang Wenjun." The envoy who was personally welcomed by Qin State to the Chu State's princess was still weak. This was his second time to Chu.

"Can the Qin envoy be good all the way?" He suddenly weakened and entered the country from Chengyang, flowing from Huai River to Yingdu.

"Still good." The last time the reception was Shen Yin-Yuan. When he first met Yang Wenjun, he couldn't help but look at him. Under the high cap, other Chu people were either elegant or elegant, or had to be rough. Yang Wenjun did have an indescribable gloom.

"This is the book of the Empress Dowager, please read it." I took out a silk book from my arms.

"Thank you to the Qin envoy." Empress Dowager Zu asked the Qin envoy to bring a book to him, which must be a book that was beneficial to the Qin State. Sure enough, Yang Wenjun's palm began to sweat after reading the silk book. The Qin people had two other conditions for alliance: one was to abolish Xiong Jing and change Xiong Han; the other was to ask for the art of huge iron, the weapon to break the city, and the boat with a big wing.

"This is absolutely..." Yang Wenjun looked at him and shook his head repeatedly, "...Never do not."

"What's wrong?" He smiled weakly, "Make Xiong Han the king and the king. All the big and small things in Jing State are in charge of your hands."

"No, no." Xiong Jing's shadow appeared in Yang Wenjun's mind. He could not look directly at those half-day, half-sharp eyes. "This matter cannot be done, and the Queen Mother will not agree..."

"You don't want to do this," Dunruo explained, "This is what the Empress Dowager of Zu told you. The king will not give up until he reaches these two things. You just need to make it secretly."

"Please tell Empress Dowager Huayang, I cannot make this happen." Yang Wenjun paused his head and bowed. "This is the crime of rebellion!"

"What else?" Chu Wu sighed, "Can the king want the art of great iron, the weapon to break the city, and the boat to big wings, can it be accomplished?"

After discovering that Zhao State was about to offer the art of magnificent iron in Qin, Chu State immediately cut off all kinds of iron-making materials, and the craftsmen who arrived in Handan refused to start work, and the artisans in Qin State's magnificent iron was gone again. After the art of magnificent iron, Qin State saw the big wing warship and catapults again. The big wing warship was just a matter of the catapult. The King of Qin often talked about it, and the Shaofu also tried to make it, but unfortunately it was not possible.

"The art of great iron may be possible," Yang Wenjun thought for a while and said, "A weapon to break the city must not be used, and a large-winged warship must not be used."

"It's fine, the weapon to break the city is absolutely indispensable." Dunliu emphasized. "The king must break the city is not enough."

"This matter needs to be reported to the Empress Dowager and the Order, I cannot decide." Yang Wenjun said.

"Then please report to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor." The two things were not done, and he was a little unhappy. Of course, he was not in a hurry. Now the Qin army is attacking Chu, not Chu is attacking Qin. Yang Wenjun could not see any turmoil on his face. He did not return the silk book, but took it into his arms and retreated, got in the car and headed towards the palace.

The east side of the royal city is the palace, and the west side is the garden. With Xiong Jing's order, the pavilions in the garden are demolished, leaving only high steps. When the princess of Qi arrived, another low wall was built in the garden, and the good garden was immediately shorter.

The temple man led the way in front. On the way to Ruoying Palace, Yang Wenjun didn't intend to look at the broken platforms, thinking about the words on the silk book. He abolished the king and established Xiong Han. With the power of the king today, he could never do it. Since he knew that he could not do this, why did Empress Dowager Huayang Zu mention it again? Could it be...

"What does Qin envoy say?" Ruoying Gong Mingtang, except for the Empress Dowager, Ling Yin Naojiu was there, and both of them looked at Yang Wenjun.

"Qin envoy's words," Yang Wenjun paused, "If Qin envoy wants to withdraw his troops, he still needs the art of huge iron, the weapon to break the city, and the boat to big wings, otherwise..."

"Or what?" Concubine Zhao glanced at Naojiu, and her hand holding her sleeves tightened again.

"Otherwise, we won't withdraw our troops." Yang Wenjun replied.

"The Qin people did not believe it." Concubine Zhao felt disappointed. The Qin people did not discuss this before. She had said that she would marry Mi Lu and join Qin.

"The art of giant iron, the weapon to break the city, the boat to big wings," Nao's voice was very heavy, his eyes were blood-red. "These three are all powerful weapons of attack. If the Qin people had one, they could dominate the world in a few years. They knew that I would definitely not give it, so why did they come to welcome him?"

"This?" Yang Wenjun couldn't help but look at Naojiu. Naojiu is not a smart person. Could it be that the adviser of the Grand Sima Mansion reminded him?

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, the Qin envoy was weak. This person is the best person to use his power to suppress others with his power. This is by no means the King of Qin, but his act of seeking credit." It is not a counselor who made a cunning plan for Nao, but the Qin envoy has such a virtue in any country. "I also heard that the King of Qin is about to be married at the beginning of the year. If we don't want to, wouldn't the King of Qin not be able to get a big marriage?"

It was the end of August, and the first year of Qin was in October. From the end of August to October, there were only two months to complete the whole plan, which would have to reduce the time on the road. Since the King of Qin believed in the Empress Dowager Huayang, and since the King of Qin wanted to marry the princess of Chu as his queen, then the time was on the side of Chu. When Zhao thought of this, Concubine Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "So that's the case, the old woman was no longer worried."

"Please tell the envoy of Qin. If you ask for other things, the State of Chu will never marry the princess into Qin." Naojiu told Yang Wenjun. "The art of great iron may be purchased like Zhao, but it must be withdrawn. After the army is withdrawn, the big wing warship will be impossible. Last year, the Qin Xiangchangping Jun once said that after the battle, the two countries will be in harmony. Now Qin has not been in harmony with me, but instead drives Wei to attack me. If I give Qin a stone-to-shot weapon, the big wing warship, and the Qin army will attack me again, what?"

The questioning comes from Naojiu's mouth, which is aggressive and righteous. When Yang Wenjun relays it to Dun Wu, it becomes a harmonious and gentle atmosphere. After hearing this, Dun Wu laughed and said, "Dazai is just passing the message?"

Dunruo hoped that Yang Wenjun would help convince Ling Yin and the Empress Dowager, but he did not want the result to be as expected. What was going on with money to buy the art of Giant Iron? Zhao State has been fooled. Chu State wants to cut off the raw materials for Giant Iron smelting whenever he wants to cut off the raw materials for Giant Iron smelting, and each weapon will also charge two golds of patent money. This kind of thing is worthless when you buy it.

"I am just a Taizai, what if I don't pass on the message?" Yang Wenjun squeezed out a wry smile. "If Qin envoy doesn't want to, I can ask the imperial court to come here for a while."

"No need." Suddenly weakened his smile, "I was responsible for the princess to enter Qin. What the silk book says is not my responsibility, but the king's responsibility."

"I am just Dazai, how can I accomplish this?" Yang Wenjun's smile became more and more painful. "Ling Yin doesn't want to, what can I do?"

"Then I won't talk about this." I was weak and no longer forced. "The wedding day was set at the beginning of the year. The princess was delicate, more than a thousand miles away, and it took at least twenty or twenty-five days on the road. At the latest, I would leave Ying and enter Qin at the beginning of next month."

It is not a trivial matter for the princess to get married, let alone marry into Qin as the Queen of Qin. Before the appointment was made, everyone in the Chu Palace was preparing Mi Lu's dowry. Of course, this was in the name of the legitimate princess Mi Lu. She will be in the process of getting married next year, so it is natural to prepare a dowry.

The dowry is small, but the withdrawal of the army is big. Yang Wenjun asked: "If the princess enters Qin, the Qin army will not retreat..., what?"

"Do you want the Qin army to withdraw your troops first, so that the Chu State will marry the princess to Qin?" Dunwei pointed out Yang Wenjun's thoughts. "You should know that what you said before was to marry the princess first, and the Qin army retreated afterwards. You can wait if you don't want to. It's time to go back to Xianyang empty-handed and apologize to the widow. It's too big to die, but Jing State..."
