The first thousand three hundred and ninety-one chapters: Han flag world (81) wishful thinking
Yingdu in September is in the best season of the year. The just-concluded chrysanthemum exhibition still leaves Yingdu with the fragrance of flowers. The streets and alleys can be seen everywhere in various colors and varieties. King Huai loves chrysanthemums, and Chu State has set off a trend of raising chrysanthemums to enjoy chrysanthemums. If a chrysanthemum with good quality can be cultivated, it is not impossible to get rich overnight in Chu State.
King Huai of Chu felt that this was the best time for the Great Chu, and he even felt that his prestige was very likely to be compared with the famous and famous kings among his ancestors. In September, Chu State had just experienced several great events. First, the marriage of Princess Shuyu, the daughter of King Huai, the most distressed daughter, was the marriage. After Shuyu was greatly hurt by Yan State, it took several years to nourish the inner trauma. Originally, King Huai of Chu was planning to find a good son-in-law for his daughter in China, but he didn't expect that his daughter had a lover, and this person was still a senior general of the great Han Dynasty who was in full swing.
For King Huai of Chu, this was a double joy, one arrow and a single shot, which not only satisfies his daughter's wishes, but also adds a bridge of communication between Chu and Han. He was naturally so satisfied that he could not be satisfied anymore. The second happy event was the chrysanthemum exhibition that just ended, or because the Chu State has now swept away its decline, gradually revealing its former dominance of the world. At this year's chrysanthemum exhibition, several lonely chrysanthemums that were only heard in rumors appeared. The King of Chu spent tens of thousands of gold to store it in the palace. Now, if you don't look at it a few times a day, you will feel a little uneasy.
The third happy event was naturally that the Chu army advanced rapidly in the southern part of Qin. The 200,000 army led by Qu Wan took advantage of the Qin domestic chaos and swept across the southern part of Qin in just a few months. Now, except for the southern central city of Sanchuan County, which is still in the corner of the south, the remaining land has been included in the territory of Chu. It is dozens of cities and thousands of miles of territory.
The eight hundred years of dynasty and five thousand miles of rivers and mountains were the capital of Chu's heroes. Before the rise of the Han Kingdom, the territory of Chu was almost the sum of the other six countries. Now, these five thousand miles of rivers and mountains will be changed to six thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Such achievements are in the history of the eight hundred years of great Chu. If we talk about expanding the territory, King Huai of Chu felt that he would not be inferior to those powerful monarchs.
This is the land plundered from the powerful Qin. In the past hundred years, only Qin has robbed others. How could other countries get any benefits from the powerful Qin? But they did it themselves.
He is indeed mediocre in his talents, but he has the same benefit. He is good at employed people, dares to use people, and he is unquestionable! King Huai of Chu was complacent, Huang Xie, Qu Chong, both literary and military. It was their dedicated help that the current situation in Chu State was created. Although the two controlled the government, the people of Chu only knew the chief assistant and the Grand Marshal but not the king, but a thousand years later, who would not know the achievements of his king?
The Han and Qin now hate each other. At present, Qin is in chaos. I believe that the Han State will not miss this opportunity. Chu State took the southern part of Qin and is now satisfied, waiting for the outcome of the Qin and Han dynasties, or the Chu army can still get some additional benefits from the two powerful fights.
As for the Han State, well. I have to say that the national strength of the Han State may not be as strong as that of the Chu State, but its military strength is far better. Now it is time to consider getting along with the Han State. The meaning of the Chief Auxiliary and the Taiwei is that we should try our best to establish good relations with the Han State, and delay the situation of the two countries' disputes as much as possible. Chu State needs to be stronger.
King Huai of Chu stretched out. State affairs were really troublesome. Let’s leave these things to Mr. Huang and Mr. Qu to consider. They are not young yet, and they can at least do a job for ten to twenty years for themselves. Please worry less about them.
"Come here, prepare wine, put the wine in the chrysanthemum hall, and I want to go to enjoy the flowers and drink." King Huai of Chu happily ordered the eunuch.
Just as King Huai of Chu was drinking and having fun, the two ministers he valued, namely, civil and military officials, were still gathered in the official hall, and the military newspapers sent back from the south were naturally the first focus of their attention.
"Sanchuan County has been taken down." Qu Chong happily picked up a military newspaper and walked to Huang Xie. "The chief assistant, Qu Wan has captured Sanchuan County. Qin general Tan Wei only escaped from the city with hundreds of people and broke through the siege. The war in the south has basically ended."
"It's not over yet!" Huang Xie smiled and said, "The Qin Xuanyiwei has already arrived in the south, and I'm afraid there is still a war to fight. By the way, what's going on with Zhou Yu?"
"I have to ask General Zhao this." Qu Chong smiled and looked back at the ghost commander of the secret army of Chu on the other side. When the war was about to begin, Huang Xie proposed to form a joint office in order to speed up the efficiency of work. These big men gathered together to work so that the things that should be handled could be completed as soon as possible, so as not to miss the matter. This seemingly small proposal has improved the efficiency of the Chu bureaucratic organization, which has always been slow to do business.
"This is Lu Chao's method. The poor Zhou Yu was used completely by Lu Chao." Zhao Shucheng smiled and opened a secret report of the ghost, and suddenly exclaimed: "Damn it, these bastards are not serious, and they don't even pick out such information."
"What's the matter?" Qu Chong asked. The information Zhao Shucheng mentioned now only had one thing, that is, the Southern War of Qin.
"Two lords, Ghost Shadow's spies in the south were sent by Zhou Yu, who was forced to escape by Lu Chao. After Sanchuan County was also lost, he sent a secret letter to General Qu Wan through Ghost Shadow's spies to our Chu State. Ghost Shadow sent the secret letter to General Qu's office and sent a copy to Yingdu." Zhao Shucheng said.
"Zhou Yu wants to surrender to us?" Qu Chong asked in disbelief, snatched the information from Zhao Shucheng's hand, and hurriedly browsed it. "Zhou Yu's command is full of Qin's southern border troops, and has always been hostile to our Great Chu. Even though Zhou Yu was squeezed out by Lu Chao, those Qin's soldiers were willing to follow him to surrender to Chu?"
"It's not impossible." Huang Xie was shocked, and then he was overjoyed: "Taiwei Qu, don't forget that the former leader of the Southern Frontier Army was Meng Tian, and Meng Tian's death was unclear, which made the generals of the Southern Frontier Army feel resentful. Ying Ying demolished 200,000 southern frontier troops into pieces. Many of the original Southern Army generals are now there? In addition, Lu Chao is usurping power now, these people have a great possibility that new and old hatreds will break out, and they are unwilling to be driven by Lu Chao anymore."
"Although it is reasonable, this matter is quite a matter. Shucheng, you mark the locations of Zhou Yu's troops and Xuanyiwei and the current location of our army's main force on the map. We still have to be careful. This matter needs to be verified again. If Zhou Yu really surrenders to our troops, we can use this east wind to clean up the Xuanyiwei and solve the southern problem in one fell swoop." Qu Chong took a deep breath.
"It's really great." Huang Xie said happily with his high-high speed: "If Zhou Yu's troops surrender to our country and solve the Xuanyiwei, the Qin army with extremely elite combat power, and Qin's vitality is greatly damaged, we will have an absolute advantage in the next negotiations with Qin."
"Sir, we won a great victory. Wouldn't we take the opportunity to deal with Qin? Taking advantage of his illness and killing him and making him unable to recover is the right thing." Zhao Shucheng smiled while flipping through the information about Zhou Yu's troops and Xuanyiwei troops.
"That's not possible." Huang Xie smiled, "We are already satisfied with the southern part of Qin. We can't really defeat Qin. If we continue to advance after taking the southern part, the Han people will inevitably start attacking Qin. If Qin really destroys Qin, the next thing will be the confrontation between Chu and Han. What's the benefit for us? Qin still needs to keep it. With such a guy sharing our pressure on us, we can develop calmly."
"Now the Han people have taken down Yingchuan and Wulong, who are the Qin people, are attacking Tai'an. Although Tan Feng lost Yingchuan, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Tai'an, and they are strong and there is no problem with supporting them for a period of time. When we are over, if the negotiations with Qin are smooth, Qu Wan's 200,000 troops can help Qin recover Yingchuan. Wulong! The two families have formed an alliance again and teach the arrogant Han people a lesson. That is the best." Qu Chong laughed.
"We want to let the Qin people understand that we just want to take the land in the southern part of Qin and have no interest in destroying Qin. The Han people are different. Gao Yuan wants to unify the world and destroy Qin and Chu. Lu Chao is not a fool. Naturally, he knows this truth. As long as Lu Chao is willing to pay the price to form an alliance with us, even if he abolishes the King of Qin and becomes independent, we Chu people will support it." Huang Xie also laughed, "If everything is performed according to our script, I want to be a hundred thousand troops who beat the Han army's outstretched claws back, Gao Yuan's face must be very exciting."
All three of them laughed.
"Report, the eight hundred miles of army are urgently reported!" The shouts outside interrupted the laughter of the three of them.
"It seems that there is another good news coming from Qun Zun." Zhao Shucheng smiled at the two big bosses, one literary and one martial.
"That's the case!" Huang Xie also smiled and said, "I've been a little numb when I read the news during this period."
"The Chief Auxiliary, Grand Marshal, General Zhao, Jiaocheng urgently reported eight hundred miles." People from outside rushed in in a mess, knelt down on the ground with a loud bang, and presented a bamboo tube with a secret letter on both hands: "The urgent report from Jiaocheng, Qin General Tan Feng, suddenly led tens of thousands of troops from Tai'an to attack Jiaocheng ten days ago. Our army was caught off guard. Qin people in the city acted as internal responses. Jiaocheng had been occupied by the Qin army, and Jiaocheng was left alone. Now Jiaocheng has fallen into the enemy."
The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly, and the smile froze on the faces of the three of them.
"What did you say? Tan Feng marched from Tai'an to occupy our Jiaocheng?" Qu Chong snatched the bamboo tube with both hands, crushed the bamboo tube with a bang, and took out the letter inside.
Chapter completed!
