Chapter 39 The Great Sima
Sui He entered Shouchun City before Ying Bu and Xiahou Ying launched an attack. Zhou Yin did not show much surprise at his arrival, but his attitude was cold and not very enthusiastic. As soon as he started, Zhou Yin took the initiative to keep people from thousands of miles away, and was stable. He said that he must live and die with Shouchun City and let Ying Bu die. Such bold words. He didn't even give Sui He a chance to speak. After the performance, he ordered to send guests away and asked Sui He to go back to bring a message to Ying Bu: "If he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to Chu State, the overlord will forgive him!" After that, he was very immense.
He left carelessly. Fortunately, he was quite kind. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell his servants to have a meal for Sui He. Sui He was disheartened at the time. Unexpectedly, he had made a mistake and Zhou Yin had no intention of surrendering at all. In fact, Zhou Yin did not mean to surrender, but felt that the time had not come and the problem was not clear. He needed to observe, study and make decisions. Unexpectedly, that night, he received news that Lu'an was captured by Yingbu and all the Chu army was killed. He was so scared that he was sweating all over. He came to see Sui He again the next morning.
This time his attitude was completely different from the last time. He smiled happily and was very enthusiastic. Sui He almost gave himself a few big mouths to confirm whether he was dreaming.
Zhou Yin stepped on the light of the morning and pulled Sui He out of the quilt and ordered a banquet. Sui He had not received the news yet, and he wondered, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, what wine should I drink! However, Zhou Yin was too attentive and sincere, saying touching words that make people immediately burst out with passion when they hear it. "I admire you for a long time, "I regret that I met too late", "If I don't dislike you, I will become brothers" "As soon as I see you, I feel that I am a dragon and phoenix among people, and I admire you in my heart" These words. Sui He almost vomited blood and fainted on the spot. I regret that we met too late? Didn't we just met yesterday? Didn't we scold me? Could it be that he has a twin brother who looks exactly the same, and the man yesterday was not him?!
When Sui He figured out all the situation, his waist immediately became as straight as a clerk. His screaming voice was ashamed: "It's getting late, it's time for me to go back. Didn't the general ask me to bring a message to Yingbu? I must bring it, please rest assured." Zhou Yin shouted angrily and slapped the table. "Bold, you dare to call the name of King Huainan directly, what crime should you blame? When did this general ask you to bring a message? What words do you think of King Huainan to explain clearly. You crazy student, be careful in the future. Don't be too big or small. Yingbu is also called by you, King Huainan, ah, respectful, do you understand-"
Suihe said; "But yesterday—" Yingbu sighed; "The Japanese general got drunk yesterday and said a few drunk words to you, and you just pretend it is true. How can you assist the King of Huainan in the future to fight? It's really, really, alasp. People say that strong generals have no weak soldiers, but you are really, alasp. Narrow, really narrow, can't you hear it? What I'm telling you is a joke?"
Sui He couldn't laugh and cry, so he had to nod and remorse: "I am stupid, I am stupid, it turns out that the Grand Sima was joking with me, and I thought-" Zhou Yin shook his face impatiently; "What? Why? You are still too young and are very incompetent as a lobbyist. I had already planned to surrender to the old king of Huainan, but if you make such a fuss, it's very unpleasant to make the matter. Who should be responsible for this responsibility?"
Sui He Jin said with a crying sad voice, "I deserve to die, it's all my fault. Grand Sima, please extinguish the thunderous anger for the time being. Listen to me, please finish my words. Since Grand Sima is also interested in surrendering, I think we should talk about the conditions, too." Zhou Yin slapped the table. "Conditions? There is nothing to talk about. I have always known that the King of Qin and the King of Huainan are generous and generous people, not as petty as Xiang Yu. Let's do this, give me a county and make me king. I surrender immediately. I need to, Qianzhong County is better, it's a little closer to my hometown. Even if things are settled, you go back and say I said it was."
Sui He was so bad that this kid had a big appetite and wanted to be king. I'm afraid that neither Ying Bu nor Qin would agree. In this situation, the Qin army had taken the initiative and ignored this kind of quarrel. If Zhou Yin did not surrender, he would have to die. There would be a courage to let him talk nonsense and ask for a lot of price.
Sui He thrust his waist, cold electricity shot out of his eyes, air conditioning out of his mouth, and said sternly, "What a joke about Grand Sima? The King of Qin will not accept this condition. Your conditions have been finished, and it is time to listen to the conditions I brought. First, Grand Sima must unconditionally let the soldiers in the city put down their weapons, surrender out of the city, and accept the reorganization of the Qin army. Second, Grand Sima wants to lead the King of Huainan, Third, the King of Qin can only give Grand Sima a bounty of 200 gold and three county towns to be granted marquis. This is the bottom line of the King of Qin. Sui He is only responsible for bringing a message. After hearing what you said, it seems that it is impossible to reach an agreement. Sui He will say goodbye now. Grand Sima please take care of it without authorization. Our army will arrive the day after tomorrow. Goodbye." As he said that, he turned around and walked out.
"Young, I'm really too young. Didn't I say you, you're really young. When you come back, you can discuss something? I didn't say I won't agree! Let's make a long-term plan, let's do this, bounty of a thousand gold, five county towns, this is also my bottom line. How about it? The deal?" Zhou Yin sat shamelessly after the case, stretched his neck like a duck and looked at Suihe.
Sui He shook his head; "You can consider the bounty, there are only three territories, but if you can't, I'll say goodbye!" Zhou Yin was furious and stood up and roared, "You dare to leave, you don't take this general seriously. Have you all said that you have made a long-term plan? You are so bold, come, come--"
A dozen guards came up outside and caught Sui He. Zhou Yin shouted, "Who asked you to catch people? I mean you asked you to serve with pens and ink. I want to write a letter to the King of Huainan to tell him my feelings. Is there a lot of three county towns? Didn't Chen Yu, the former Cheng'an Jun, only three county towns? I agreed. Come and drink for Mr. Sui He. By the way, call the most beautiful singer to sing and dance--"
Sui He broke free from the entanglement of the guards, snorted coldly and sat on the table full of delicious dishes, and raised his glass and said, "That's it, thank you, Grand Sima, for allowing me to complete my mission." Zhou Yin waved his hand. "You can't say that, but it's not like that. In fact, even if you don't come, I plan to send someone to the King of Huainan to deliver the surrender letter tomorrow. Your trip is simply a waste of time, but it's better that you come, we two can make friends. This general saw that you are really a talented person, and you are polite and ready to die. He is the number one lobbyist today. When I see King of Huainan, I must praise him very much, haha."
Sui He felt a headache, was Xiang Yu an idiot? A snob like Zhou Yin can also become a high-ranking official like Grand Sima, and guard such an important city. Xiang Yu was either blind or deliberately seeking death. Sui He coughed, "At this point, don't say anything else, so hurry up and do something practical. Please send someone out of Qin camp to submit a surrender letter, and also gather troops and hand over all the weapons. I will supervise myself. In addition, tomorrow, the King of Huainan - his old man, will enter the city, and all the soldiers in the city must go out of the city to greet him. If you don't follow, everything will be overturned."
Zhou Yin frowned and said, "Where did this start? I originally planned to do this. Is this easy? This general has always been strict in the army and ordered it to come out like a mountain. None of my subordinates dares to disobey my command. As long as I say it, they will immediately throw the spear, swords and guns on the ground. Come, send orders, let all the soldiers gather, concentrate their weapons, bows and arrows on the killing field, take off their armor, and I will review it."
Is there anyone who reviews like this?
At this time, someone took a pen and ink. Zhou Yin wrote a piece of text on a gorgeous piece of white silk and handed it to Sui He. "Sir, is it appropriate to write this?" Sui He took it and saw it. It was just a surrender letter that was very flattering. There was no mystery. He nodded: "You can send it out. I will review your troops here. Also, please tell the King of Huainan - he, please make sure to let the vanguard enter the city at dusk tomorrow. Thank you."
Zhou Yin laughed, "It's so satisfying, I've never wanted to follow Xiang Yu anymore. He has no idea of rewarding and punishment. He never knew how to use talents like Zhonglimei and Long Qi. They lose their soldiers and generals every day. Long Qi even lost his head. Xiang Yu even valued him very much. But I, a great general like me, can only be a great sage. I am condescending to this small land in Jiujiang and have nowhere to stretch. The King of Qin and King of Huainan are different. They are all people with keen eyes to recognize gold, and they will definitely use me."
Sui He sighed secretly for Xiang Yu, thinking, fortunately, the Overlord did not value you, otherwise, the Qin King would win too easily. With just 10,000 gold, I would probably buy 300,000 heads from the Western Chu army. How could this shameless person who is worse than a crazy beast have the face to live in the world? I was puzzled!
Sui He put the 200 kilograms of gold he brought in front of Zhou Yin, and he was even more happy, and he was dancing. Suddenly, the soldiers came to report that all the 50,000 troops in the city had gathered, and everyone had unloaded their armor and dropped their guns, and lined up in the schoolyard to wait for inspection. Zhou Yin stared at the gold with his eyes and waved his hand to signal him to go out quickly and said to Sui He; "When will the remaining gold be given?" Sui He said; "This is just a deposit. If the Grand Sima fulfilled his promise and waited until the army entered the city, the other 800 kilograms of gold must be given in full, and he dare not neglect it."
Zhou Yin touched the short beard on his chin, rolled his eyes and said, "I can trust the character of the King of Huainan. Let's do this, let's go and check the soldiers first to see if you are satisfied with it?" Sui He thought, of course he had to go and see, otherwise what would I do?
Ying Bu received a quick horse surrender from Zhou Yin from Shouchun. He was so excited that he was almost crazy. He ordered Xiahou Ying to clean up the end of Lu'an. He gathered 30,000 cavalry and quickly headed towards the official road of Shouchun. Xiahou Ying was not relieved and told Ying Bu to beware of villains, as Zhou Yin was a villain.
Xiahou Ying said, "The king must not enter the city when he arrives at the city. He must first see Sui He. If Zhou Yin has any abnormal movements, he will definitely not let Sui He come out." Ying Bu nodded; "The general is so careful. The King of Qin has not misread you." Xiahou Ying said humbly; "The last general is nothing, it's just a brave man who can only be a general but not a general. He is not as brave as a king. You are invincible in the world."
Ying Bu pulled Xiahou Ying hard on his arm: "General, don't say such words again in the future. The only thing worthy of such words in this world is the King of Qin, I am not worthy of it." Xiahou Ying smiled and said, "The king wants to repay the King of Qin, and there is still a chance now. I wonder if the king has ever thought of it."
Ying Bu said in confusion, "It's just a battle to kill the enemy and defeat Xi Chu, what else?" I thought to myself, would it be a bit too much to let me lead troops to deal with Wu Rui. No matter what, it is his father-in-law. Although it has expired, we cannot meet each other. Xiahou Ying smiled and said in a slight smile, "This is very easy, but we have to wait until the king takes Shouchun before doing it." Ying Bu said with a smile, "I can't wait to hear it."
Xiahou Ying said; "The First Emperor used millions of armor and troops to pacify the six kingdoms, and was called the First Emperor. After the First Emperor, there were second emperors. Since the Western Chu Rebellion, the Second Emperor was demoted and demoted himself to be the King of Qin. However, I expected that he would always want to restore his emperor's honor and comfort the First Emperor in the nineteenth century. If the situation is now settled, why not write a letter to the King of Qin before everyone, let the King of Qin regain the ninth five and restore the honor of the Second Emperor. The King of Qin must be overjoyed to receive the replies, and the King will be worthy of the King of Qin's favor. At that time, the King of Qi, Yan, and Han wrote together, and the King of Qin will definitely ascend to the great treasure again, and we can also be granted the title of marquis and prime minister!"
Ying Bu clapped his hands and said, "My, wonderful, now all the kings and princes are standing together, but they all obey the King of Qin. This is really a bit too big or small, and he should really write a letter to ask the King of Qin to ascend the throne immediately, issue an edict to fight against Xiang Yu's rebels. In this way, the day of victory will be in front of him."
Xiahou Ying sneered and said disdainfully, "Xiang Yu? I'm sure he will definitely lose. The pocket array has been opened, and he can fly. It's ridiculous that this person is still dreaming about. If Ya's father Fan Zeng may still be able to save him, and now there is no talent in the Xichu camp, he will definitely die."
Ying Bu shook his head and said, "The Lord is too underestimating Western Chu. In fact, there are not many people in the Chu camp who are better than Yafu. It's just that Xiang Yu has always valued martial arts and looked down on these Confucian debaters, which has led to these wise men not seeing him at all. Even if he was lucky, Xiang Yu would not adopt any strategy for them, and he might even ridicule them and beat them up with sticks. In this case, it is natural that the Qianlong should not be used. All talents are hidden! Take the pocket formation of the Qin King at this moment. The counselors of Western Chu may not be able to see it, but one is the situation that is difficult to deal with, and the other is that Xiang Yu is arbitrary and does not listen to others' advice at all, so this plan will be accomplished!"
While the two were talking, suddenly a shrill neigh came from outside, followed by a loud bang from Peng, as if the door had been knocked open. Ying Bu and Xiahou Ying were both shocked at the same time, and they took out their swords and lifted the door curtains, jumped into the spacious courtyard. A group of guards with spears had already rushed out. Through the wall, someone suddenly shouted loudly; "Report to the King of Huainan, the King of Qi has an envoy, and the King of Qi is coming, and the hundred thousand is urgent, and the hundred thousand is urgent-"
Xiahou Ying and Ying Bu looked at each other, feeling their heart suddenly jumping up like a gourd in the water, and rushed to the door with a few arrows. Two soldiers appeared at the door with a spitting blood. The Qi soldiers were already fainted. One of the soldiers said, "The war horses are exhausted, and the people are so tired that they vomit blood. He just kept shouting, "The King of Qi sent troops, and the King of Qi sent troops, and I don't know what it means!"
Xiahou Ying heard a clue and said anxiously, "Hurry up, save him and find the doctor."
After half an hour of rescue, the soldier finally woke up. The first sentence he woke up was: "Hurry, the King of Qi and the General have sent troops to cross the river and attacked Pengcheng. Please ask the King of Huainan to cooperate on the southern line and drag the reinforcements of Kuaiji south of the Yangtze River in Chu State--" After saying that, he fainted again.
