Chapter 36 Pingyuanjin

When he entered Handan and saw Xiangbang Chunping Hou, Lian Yu's mission was completed. The next step was to open and close the big figures and fight the danger of overthrow of the world. However, if he really knew what these big figures were doing, he would definitely be disappointed.

In the Linzi Palace, Tian Jian, the King of Qi who had just taken the last cup of immortal medicine, saw the immortal again. The immortal was wearing cloud dress and stepped on the clouds. He seemed to say something to him, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything. He was floating now, as if he was about to ride the wind. He was about to ascend to become an immortal, and he must be ascend to become an immortal.

"King? King--!" The immortal that Tian Jian saw was his beloved Concubine Li. Just now, Tian Jian gave him half a cup of immortal medicine to Concubine Li, but Concubine Li refused in tears. Tian Jian knew that she didn't drink it for herself, so Wang Xin comforted her for a moment.

"Mrs. Young Madam, what should I do?" The king was like crazy after taking the immortal medicine, and all the temple palace maids were panicked.

"Go and invite the official servant quickly." Concubine Li was not panicked. This was not the first time that the king took the immortal medicine in front of her, this was the third time.

Hemp seeds cannot be sown in summer, so Tian Jian couldn't help but mash the reserved hemp seeds into juice and eat them. Anyway, the King of Chu said that he would plant them in the gardens, and asked the King of Chu to ask for it when the harvest next year. Tian Jian enjoyed the pleasure brought by the rich hemp juice for a night, and the next day he was lazy and did not go to court. He did not summon him at the Yanchao when he heard that the Chu envoy Cheng Jie was visiting.

"What's the matter with the envoy who came to Linzi?" With the tone, Tian Jian couldn't help but yawn. Cheng Jie, who was holding the flag, seemed not to see it. Qi Xianghousheng next to him smiled, and quickly calmed down his smile, as if he had never smiled before.

Both the king and the ministers were very strange, and Cheng Jie could only ignore this. He bowed and said, "I would like to remind the king that I am going to go out to sea again next month. I specially ordered my ministers to come to Linzi to report to the king and ask the king to join forces with Chu and Zhao next month..."

"What does the King of Chu mean? The alliance is scheduled for September, so it should be in September..." Hou Sheng's expression changed and he immediately interrupted.

"What does Qi Xiang mean?" Cheng Jie was not only an envoy, but also Zhu Ao Yi. When Hou Sheng dared to interrupt him, he dared to look at him. If he dared to interrupt rudely, he would draw his sword and chop him. Hou Sheng was glared at him, and in fear, his body could not help but shrink back.

"The widow has set off to Qi, and I sent envoys to Zhao in front of the capital to ask the King of Zhao to join Qi next month. The Three Kingdoms should be together sooner rather than later. This will shock the Qin people. I hope the king will agree." Cheng Jie bowed to Tian Jian again.

"Don't listen to others. Qin must have sent troops to attack Chu, so he must meet the alliance early..." He dared not look at the vicious Cheng Jie again, Hou Sheng bowed to Tian Jian and asked him not to agree to the Chu people.

"Dare!" Cheng Jie disdained. "The Qin army is vulnerable and defeated in every battle. Why are we the Chu people afraid of us? If we are the Chu people, we can't do alliances. However, a gentleman promises that he can't make a fortune, let alone the king. The widow went to the sea to the big valley the previous time he went to the big valley, but he turned north, but he did not leave the big valley, so he went out of the big valley this time and even to Tanggu. He went out of the sea in August and was not as good as the alliance, so he asked for this."

Cheng Jie's reason for fabrication was very clever. With the respect of the king, only the fairyland like Tang Gu is worthy of yearning. Unfortunately, the reason for fabrication was so tempting. Tian Jian, who was still in the aftermath of marijuana, did not mention the alliance, but only asked: "Can I go with you?"

"King?" Hou Sheng, Tian Jiao and others were shocked. It was already very wrong after taking the Immortal Medicine King. How could he go out to Tanggu again? "How can the King Li Du go to find that Tanggu? King Li Du, how can the common people?"

"Brother Wang must not go to the country. The sea is dangerous and the Chu boat is not on the coast. If there is a hurricane, the boat will be destroyed and the people will be killed." Tian Fu said.

"If the king is willing to go, he can ask the same question. However, the alliance..." Cheng Jie said the alliance again.

"The Three Kingdoms have the intention to join the alliance, and what's the harm in July and September." Tian Jian, who has higher pursuits, no longer cared about the alliance. "Please tell the King of Chu that I would like to join the King of Chu in Yue and the King of Zhao."

"Thank you, King. Please give up." Cheng Jie was overjoyed, and Hou Sheng wanted to stop him.

"Chu Envoy..." Seeing Cheng Jie want to leave, Tian Jian quickly shouted at him. "When will the King of Chu go to the sea?"

"Report to the king, the widow has gone to Qi, and I don't know much about going to sea." Cheng Jie smiled and directly threw the blame to Xiong Jing.

"This Cheng Jie!" Xiong Jing was indeed on the way to Qi. On that day, he summoned Shi Zhi and did not ask any questions. He could only ask the Grand Sima Mansion to start the matter immediately. When he came back to discuss with Zhu Ao, he did not expect that the matter of the alliance had not yet happened, and Cheng Jie lied and told something about it.

"I think Cheng Ao has his last resort," Xiong Jing went to Qi to take Dazai Jin Yi. He was worried that the alliance would not be successful and going to sea would be a trivial matter. "The king can just ask the king of Qi to go out for a trip."

"Go out to sea?" In August and September, when tropical cyclones were rampant, Xiong Jingzhen didn't know where to take the King of Qi to travel. If one is bad, the kings of the two countries would die in the East China Sea. However, the alliance is extremely important, and the Qin army is about to fight. If you don't support Zhao, you will carry the Qin army for a few more years. He and the King of Qi will probably have to float on the island for the rest of your life.

With the promise of the King of Qi Tian Jian to join the alliance in advance, Xiong Jing immediately accelerated his journey to Qi to avoid the long nights and dreams. He thought so, and Zhao State even more so. After Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Chunping who had cut a sword on his thigh, sent Li Mu away, he endured the pain and took Zhao Zhao Qian to Pingyuanjin. Maybe he was walking too fast. When he arrived in Pingjin, the Qi people on the other side claimed that they had not received the order from the king and were not allowed to enter Qi.

"The people of Qi are really too bullying!" Although it was an alliance, Zhao State also brought the black-clothed palace guards. Zhao Cong, the general in black, was furious after hearing the reward. Qi State was a defeated general under Zhao State. If it were not for the King of Chu's proposal, how could Zhao State cut the river south to Qi State?

"Irregular!" Zhao Cong was born in the royal family. If he hadn't been born in the royal family, he would have been kicked out by Chunping Hou. "The Qin people attacked me. If there was no help from Chu Qi, how could my Zhao State face Qin alone?"

"But the Qi people knew that the king was here..." Zhao Liang overwhelmed the timid Zhao Cong in his momentum, but he still dissatisfied himself.

"The people of Qi have a responsibility to defend the territory. Since they have not been ordered by the king, they should not allow us to enter the country. What's wrong?" Zhao Liang really regretted that he was not strong enough. He was glad that Zhao Cong did not go out to lead the troops. "I will give you ten gold to Qi soldiers to buy wine."

He didn't blame the Qi people and even gave them money to buy wine. If someone changed, the black-clothed palace guards would definitely not accept it. However, Zhao Liang, the prime minister, had already become the King of Zhao, and the most important thing was that most of the generals in the army were convinced by him. He was the prince of the war faction trained by King Xiaocheng of Zhao, and was simply confronting Zhao Yan, Jianxinjun, and Guo Kai.

Xiangbang's order was quickly executed. The Qi soldiers who were worried that the Zhao people would come to the door were thinking that the Zhao army was going to attack, but they didn't expect that they would let the temple servants come to give gifts. They smiled happily for a moment, thinking that the Zhao people were not so vicious.

"Shifu, why don't the people of Qi let me enter the country?" Zhao Qian was already at the age of changing his hair. He called Zhao Liang Shifu with black clothes. When he spoke, his little hand was placed in Zhao Liang's hand. "Since that's the case, I will not cut off the city and give it to Qi people."

"The king has no joke," Zhao Liang changed his expression to his nephew, "Since he has promised to cede the land, how can he regret it?"

"And my mother, my mother taught me," Zhao Qian was confused and said, "No one outside of my father can trust me."

"This is what..." Zhao Liang was about to persuade him, and several cavalry rushed over not far away. The person who came dismounted and said, "Report to the great king, prime minister, Qin general Li Xin led his army of 300,000. Yesterday, he had surrounded Pingyang and Wucheng. Another 20,000 cavalry were heading east along the Huan River, as if he wanted to attack me."

"..." Zhao Liang gasped and his heart suddenly became cold. He didn't expect the Qin army to come so quickly. Pingyang and Wucheng were all south of Handan, which was the defensive support outside the Great Wall of Handan; he didn't expect that the Qin army would send cavalry to pursue him. Could it be that the Qin people and the marquis were so well-informed that they knew that they and the king went to Qi to join the alliance?

"How far does the Qin people do according to me?" Zhao Liang was just stunned and quickly returned to normal.

"Not even a hundred and fifty miles." The Houren said again. "Tell the Prime Minister, the Qin cavalry..."

"Let's explore again!" Zhao Liang waved him back before the marquis finished speaking, and he knew what it meant by a Qin cavalry. "Send the order and stick to the place to meet the alliance later."

"The prime minister has an order: hold on the spot and meet the alliance later." Zhao Liang's order was quickly conveyed. The Zhao soldiers who were a little anxious waiting to cross the river immediately looked solemn when they heard the order. The tent that had been rescued was relocated under the command of the commander and the general. Various chariots lined up into a chariot array, standing in front of the tent.

The common people in Dujin were also organized. Even if there were no strong men, the elderly, weak, women and children could help the soldiers boil water and cook. However, no matter how they were organized, it was difficult to cover up the embarrassment of the Zhao army with only 5,000 people. Zhao Liang thought that the Qin army could not send troops so quickly, and secondly, he wanted to leave more troops for Hu Zi, but did not want to cause such evil consequences.

"Please wait and see the city and save me." Zhao Cong was already panicked, he didn't know what to do.

"The Qin people are cavalrymen, how can they rescue each other?" Zhao Liang smiled bitterly. There are indeed several cities that are closer to Pingyuanjin, such as Lingqiu in the south and Beiqiu in the west. But these are all small towns. Once Zhao soldiers in the town leave the city, they will probably be dispersed by the Qin cavalry.

"Then let the Qi people allow us to enter the country." Zhao Cong was already stern. "If the king is captured by the Qin people, we will not be punished."

"Qi people? Qi people are watching us!" Zhao Liang pointed directly to the other side of the river: "If the Qin army attacked Zhao, if I, Zhao people, cannot save myself, how can Qi people help me?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Cong shouted. "How can the king stay here?"

"The king is the king of Zhao. Where will he stay if he doesn't leave this place?!" Zhao Liang retorted. "Don't forget that the King of Chu in the Battle of Qingshui is younger than the king."

"Shifu, Shifu, ah...ah...woo...woo..." Zhao Qian was already scared to tears. Although he didn't understand what was happening now, he read about uneasiness and danger from the eyes of those close to him.
