The last few days of July were extremely hot, and what was hotter than the weather was the hearts of the people. Qin State sent envoys to seek peace! This news was suppressed by the Grand Sima Mansion for two days before it was announced. Once it was announced, it spread all over the world. As water poured into boiling oil, all countries were in a hurry and the war was finally over.

"Father, Father..." Wei Palace in Daliang, Wei Jiao hurriedly passed through the gate with Xunwen. He did not take off his feet below the steps, but instead strode up the steps while swaying his feet. He threw two leather sluts off the stage. When the followers went to pick them up, he had already climbed the steps and broke into the Mingtang.

"Father, Father!" Wei Zeng, the King of Wei, was sitting in the Mingtang, and was worried with Xinling Jun Wei. The prime minister Cai Wen discussed whether to symbolically send a Wei army to attack Guanzhong with the Chu army. In this way, Wei can also be said to be a brother of Chu, not a minister of Chu. His son broke into the Yan Dynasty without notice, which made him extremely unhappy.

Before he could scold him, Wei Jiao raised the Xunwen in his hand and said, "Father, the Qin people are seeking peace, and the Qin people are seeking peace!"

"Ah?!" Everyone present was stunned until Wei Jiaofeng ran to him. "Father, please see, Grand Sima's Mansion said, Qin sent Gan Mao to Chu to seek peace, and the King of Chu asked envoys from various countries to gather in Wancheng, and..."

Without waiting for his son to say in detail, Wei Zeng snatched the Xunwen in his hand. He read it once but didn't believe it. He read it again for the second time. It was not until the third time that he put down the Xunwen. He shouted with joy and joy, saying, "The Qin people have today! The Qin people have today! Haha, hahahaha..."

Wei Zeng's laughter was like a night owl at night, which made people creepy. The laughter was still echoing above the Mingtang. His tone suddenly changed and he cried. After crying for a while, his expression changed again and said viciously: "The Qin people attacked me the most, and I, Wei people, died and injured countless times. How could I talk to the Qin people? I don't agree! I don't agree! I will never agree..."

Wei Zeng was old, and the huge impact of Qin people asking for peace made him crazy in an instant. When he was still gritting his teeth and saying no, he staggered and fell backwards.

"Father! Father!" Wei Jiao was panicked now, and Wei Jianyou and Cai Wen were at a loss, and the shouts of summoning the imperial physician immediately rang out.

Seeing that the temple man carried Wei Zeng away, Wei Jian couldn't believe what was happening in front of him and said sadly: "What should I do?"

"I just wish the Grand Secretary would protect him." Cai Wen was also very happy, but when he saw the King of Wei fell ill, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "The Qin people asked for peace because they were not rich in food and fodder, but they didn't know..."

"Tell the king that the Prime Minister of Zhao State, King Pingyang, asked for a visit," the voice of the messenger came from outside the bed, and the messenger did not know that the king was ill.

"Please ask for the Lord Pingyang." Wei Jianyou and Cai Wen looked at each other and hurriedly summoned Lord Pingyang in.

"The king is anxious, I don't know..." Looking at the Pingyang Lord Zhao Heng in front of him, thinking that this man was carrying King Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhao cheated Qin. Wei was worried that there was a complicated feeling in his heart. Zhao Heng deceived King Zhao, which was a traitor, but everything Zhao Heng did was for Zhao. He was also a minister of the country of Zhao, and there was no blame.

"I'm coming for peace for the Qin people." Zhao Heng smiled and took out the Xunwen in his arms. "The Qin people asked for peace, but I don't know what the Chu State intends?"

Zhao Heng looked at the prime minister Cai Wen. Cai Wen was the magistrate of Xia Cai County and knew much better than others. Cai Wen saw Zhao Heng and Wei Jianyouquan looking at him and smiled and said, "What I see, the people of Chu should not agree to harmony, but..."

"How?" Zhao Heng suppressed his urgency, and the urgency in his eyes was unconcealed. Wei Jianyou also looked at Cai Wen urgently.

"The king may be with the Qin people." Cai Wen's face showed some helplessness.

What the king likes and hates, and there are naturally some speculations that have been a minister for ten years. In short, the king does not like to conquer cities and cities in the world, and restore the old land. He likes places outside the world, East, Middle, West, South, etc. In recent years, the Chu State's sea boats have been spreading around the world, and ports have been established in key areas.

This year, Nuanhou was also granted a title in Dongzhou (the climate of the landing place in Dongzhou is extremely warm, and the boat officials call it Nuancheng), Mantis Lord and Dongsha Lord. In addition to these three people, the newly born Wang eldest son Xiong Sheng also granted a piece of land: Xia Island. Xia Island is the key point between the blue ocean and the red ocean. At the southernmost end of the strait, it was first slitting stones, and then a port city was built;

There is also the deputy general of the Zhou army, Ou Tuo, who was not surprisingly enthroned in Sinluojia Port, which was originally built by him; the former Green Ocean Fleet, Wu Gouzhi, was enthroned in a place that no one could have imagined: Nanyang Land. The south of the mountain is called Yang, and the southernmost part of the continent can also be called Yang. Nanyang Land is at the southernmost part of Nanzhou, and the must-pass place for the red ocean to the green ocean.

The Huawei land thousands of miles away from the Chu State (a level lower than the barbarian land), only the generals of Zhoushi would be very happy after being granted the title. The generals of Lingshi were not interested in this. They would rather have a village in Chu State than a county overseas.

In the eyes of the ministers, it is obvious that the king has no ambition to the world. As long as Qin State can agree to the peace, he will definitely agree. Although Cai Wen was helpless in his expression, he did not object to the peace in his heart.

Destroying Qin is not beneficial to the Chu State. The revenge has been avenged, and all the places to be occupied have been occupied. No one wants to take over the places they don’t want to occupy, but they just collect more taxes. They can go to war for the places they don’t want, and they can do so.

As for the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, in the eyes of Cai Wen and other old clans, the Jin people are not much better than the Qin people. Could it be that the officials and generals of Qin, the Qin people were all Jin people? The Qin people were originally simple, and the Qin people helped Chu restore the country during the Chu disaster (without the support of the Jin people, how could the Wu army enter Ying?). The Chu and Qin countries had a deep friendship. They were not Jin people who reformed the Qin and entered the Chu Palace to lobby. How could Chu and Qin become like this today?

The Qi people had no hatred with Chu. At first, the bull Heng of Qi rushed to Fangcheng to threaten (isn't it just for the sake of Cai Nu). The two countries were unrelated to each other, and then they fought for the land on the Huai River. There was nothing to compete for, and there was no big hatred or friendship between Chu and Qi. Even if the Chu owed Qi (Naochi killed King Qian), now the two rescued Qi, they all paid back.

Cai Wen's words stimulated Zhao Heng and Wei Jianyou. The thing they feared the most was that Chu State threw them aside and had peace with Qin State. If this were the case, the two countries would be tragic.

"In this way, we should quickly reach Wancheng and show our interests to the King of Chu?" Zhao Heng asked in a tentative tone.

"The Qin people seek peace, both true and false, and we cannot fully believe it." Cai Wendao. "If the Qin people seek peace, it may not be a good thing for Guandong."

Cai Wen expressed his thoughts, and saw Zhao Heng and Wei Jianyou staring at him. He had to say again: "In the past ten years, the Qin people were defeated, and many casualties were killed or injured, but the Qin army could still destroy Qi. Although our army defeated the Qin people several times, the number of soldiers they could fight was gradually reduced. How about the defeated generals when they fought again?"

"The Chu army will win every battle, how can it be defeated?" Wei Jianyou disagreed with Cai Wen's point of view.

"The Chu army was defeated in the Battle of Xiangbei." Cai Wenfuxu said. This was the only battle between the Chu army in the past ten years that was close to defeat. If it were not for the subsequent division and brigade's urgent reinforcement, the Chu army would have been defeated.

"The Battle of Xiangbei, no, no..." Wei Jianyou wanted to say it but it was hard to say.

All countries have two views on the Battle of Xiangbei: one is that the Qin cavalry is fearful. After 40,000 cavalry attacked the formation, the array of fifteen people in depth could not be resisted at all; the other is that the King of Chu was incorrect in command, so he should not pursue Li Xin in a hurry, but should wait until all divisions and brigades completed the battle before pursuing Li Xin.

"If our army is defeated, the country will not survive, and the sacrifice will be extinguished. Do you really want to do this?" Cai Wen said, "I no longer looked at Wei Jianyou, but Zhao Heng. The country of Wei is still there, and Zhao is different. The people of Zhao who have nothing will definitely not be willing to negotiate. Only by destroying Qin can the State of Zhao return to Zhao, so he mentioned the sacrifice. The sacrifices of Zhao were not cut off. If the coalition forces were defeated, they would be extinguished.

"Please teach me what I should do?" Zhao Heng still didn't quite understand what Cai Wen meant.

"The king summoned all countries to send envoys to Wancheng, why don't you go to Wancheng to ask?" It was impossible to convince the Zhao people to give up restoring the country. Cai Wen could only throw this matter to Yingdu. After returning to the mansion for several thoughts, he wrote a message scribblingly, but did not pass the message, but let someone let a pigeon fly after night.

It was not far from Shangluo to Wancheng, and the Danshui was transporting military supplies, so Xiong Jing took a car to Wancheng. When he was still on the road, the Feixun gathered from all over the country filled the Grand Sima's Mansion.

There are three kinds of opinions in summary. One of them is naturally disagreement. The Chu army's offensive has already begun. The reason why it did not launch an attack was because the Han River cleans the beach in summer was inconvenient to sail. To attack Guanzhong, the military capital of the 200,000 army was too high. Although the military capital was transported since last year, the food, fodder, supplies, cement, river sand... needed has not been transported yet.

Once the transportation of materials is completed and the Qin State is invaded into Guanzhong, it will not perish, so why bother to negotiate with Qin State? As for the defeat in the war, how has the Chu army been defeated in the past ten years? The defeat in the war is a worry-free thing and nonsense.

The second is Cai Wen's thought, and he agreed to the alliance. The Chu army suffered many casualties in the battle of Xiangbei. In addition to the casualties, it also shows that the Qin army has the strength to defeat the Chu army. If the war is defeated again, the Kwantung countries will never be doomed. Time is on the side of Chu. Why should we rush to destroy Qin and make the Jin people bigger?

The last one is indecisive, whether it is war or harmony, which can be summarized as slow. The slow means to be done and wait and see before the Qin envoy proposes the terms of peace talks. If the conditions are favorable, harmony may not be impossible; if the conditions are unfavorable, then continue as planned.

From Shangluo to Wancheng, Xiong Jing received a report along the way. Zhuang Wudi helped him to deal with it. The most intense opposition was Xunwen from Zhao, Qi and Wei. The people of Ba and Yue were willing to make peace. They had already obtained the land they wanted. Qin asked for peace. This was a great good thing. The Qiang people were silent. They were far away in Longxi and did not know about this.

Apart from outsiders, the Chu people only agreed to the alliance between the people of the Chu people, mainly the Mi surname and the non-Mixuan clans in the old Ying, Huaixi, and Huainan, and the Lu and Song clans who did not agree to the alliance between the people. All scholars, including the Grand Tutor Kong Qian, believed that Qin was a tyranny. If Chu wanted to rule the world, it would destroy Qin. Xunwen even said, "If God does not take it, he will suffer the blame."

Xiong Jing did not look at all the news in person, but asked Zhuang Wudi to sort out and summarize it first. He rushed to Wancheng three times a day, and even Qi Tian He arrived.

"I would like to thank the envoys of the four countries for meeting." The envoys outside the county magistrate's office were waiting to be summoned.

"I won't see you today." Xiong Jing had just finished taking a shower, and without thinking, he refused the envoy. "Zhao Naojiu and don't give it to me."

"Yes." The envoy agreed and the call was quickly passed on.

"How about the Qin people's food and fodder?" Xiong Jing asked while having a meal.

"This year, the army can eat until it harvests millet, but the common people have no food. Although the way is not seen, the hungry people are already full of the village." Don't tell me. "If the war is again next year, the military and civilians will become more and more fierce in the food competition, and the country will have chaos; if the war is again next year, there will be no one to cultivate the land and there will be no food in the army."

Knowing that the judgment of the Peter and the Peters Department is roughly the same as that of the right prime minister Wang Wan, and is not confused by superficial illusions.

"Cough! Cough cough..." Xiong Jing, who was eating noodles, suddenly choked. He remembered a movie. Wild dogs were eating corpses, and there were endless people fleeing. This was not cruel, or it was not the most brutal. The real cruelty was that he could not escape the famine like Qin.

"Remove!" Xiong Jing could no longer eat, and he asked Xiang Naojiu: "What do you think Naoqing?"

"I think it's impossible to be harmonious." Naojing expressed his opinions directly. "This may be a plan for the Qin people to separate, and the countries are not willing to be harmonious."

"All countries?" Xiong Jing was very busy. "I will discuss matters with the envoys of the countries, but I will only ask about Chu."

"For Chu State, it is possible to be harmonious." Naojiu replied, and then he said quickly: "While the army is about to attack, I am in harmony with the Qin people, and the generals will inevitably be confused..."

"Why are you confused?" Xiong Jing asked.

"My..." Naojiu lives in Yingdu, and he is not sure what the generals have. The Chu and Qin army are full of troops, which is a good thing for the generals. "Dare you ask the king, how can I join the Qin people? I join the Qin people, and other countries, Ba people, Yue people, Qiang people, are they willing to reconcile?"

When talking about the Qiang people, Naojiu read the pronunciation heavily. Xiong Jing understood his meaning, and smiled at the corner of his mouth and said nothing. He looked at Naojiu and said, "First it is the affairs of our Chu State, then the affairs of various countries and tribes. First, send a message to the ministers of the court, and express their intentions first, and then ask the envoys of each country. If you want to talk to the Qin people, what should you do?"

Chu was the leader of the anti-Qin alliance, and peace talks were of course the priority of Chu’s opinions. Xiong Jing did not express his attitude, but his words all revealed the meaning of peace. Naoji sighed and advised: "This month, the king said, "Only brothers can win against Qin and seek survival." Now he is in harmony with the Qin people. If he does this, the countries will be resentful and the army will be in chaos."

"War is to seek survival; harmony is also to seek survival. Why do you think I am?!" Xiong Jing was angry faintly as he stared at Naoji.

"But where did Zhao and Qi exist?" Naojiu was not afraid of Xiong Jing's anger, but argued with reason. "If Zhao State does not restore its country, it will not be willing to be harmonious. Qi State cannot be able to rebel, nor will it be willing to be harmonious. If I and Qin people are in harmony, they will blame me; if Qin people are in harmony but have no faith, and fight with me again, how can we attack Guanzhong with the power of our Chu State alone?"
