Chu State.
Shouchun.
The original city lord's palace has now been simply transformed into a royal palace.
In the emperor's palace,
Chu Yuyi's face looked a little ugly.
Just now,
She got news.
Qi and Qin really formed an alliance.
This behavior of not hiding his ambition at all and showing his fangs made Chu Yuyi a little restless.
mainly,
Not long ago,
Only then did the envoys of Qi state such a threat to Chu state.
Now,
The threat has become a reality.
Chu Yuyi seemed to be able to see the Qi army approaching the city.
At first, the reason why we chose to move the capital to Shouchun was.
The main reason is to avoid Qin's sharp edge.
Although this place is close to Qi State, what Chu State originally wanted was to unite with Qi State to resist Qin's eastward advance.
did not expect,
The envoys from Qi State came and brought news of the alliance.
But Qi's request was simply unacceptable to Chu Yuyi.
When thinking about the future of Chu State, Chu Yuyi couldn't help but have a sad look on his face.
At this time,
A palace maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, please ask for an audience with Master Yin."
"Your Majesty..."
"Ask him to wait in the imperial study room."
Chu Yuyi responded.
Not long after,
Chu Yuyi came to the imperial study room, where Sun Shuao had already been waiting.
"Weak minister Sun Shu'ao, I have met Your Majesty."
Chu Yuyi's eyes were dim, his mood was low, and his voice was weak as he said, "I wonder why your Majesty came to me?"
Sun Shuao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty must already know about the alliance between Qi and Qin."
Chu Yuyi nodded: "Yes, I do know it. I wonder if Ling Yin has any countermeasures?"
Sun Shuao's face was solemn: "The ambitions of Qin and Qi can be said to be known to the whole world now. If the Chu State was once there, it might still have the ability to participate in it or the ability to be independent, but now..."
"If Chu wants to survive, it can only unite Zhao, Song, Qian, Qing, Wei and other countries to fight against Qin and Qi."
Chu Yuyi was a little pessimistic: "But the so-called coalition forces each have their own agendas and fight on their own during the war. There have been cases of the Five Kingdoms attacking Qin before, but in the end they all ended in nothing."
Sun Shuao shook his head.
"Right now, there is no other option but to join forces."
"And now Qin and Qi have made no secret of their intention to annex the world. The princes of all countries should understand the truth that their lips are dying and their teeth are cold."
"And just yesterday, Prime Minister Zhao sent me a letter, hoping that Chu and Zhao can work together to resist the attacks of Qin and Qi."
I heard that Zhao Guo also had this intention.
Chu Yuyi's anxious heart finally calmed down.
"In this case, you will be responsible for this matter, and the survival of Chu State will be entrusted to Ling Yin."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely live up to my mission."
.......
Because of Yan Ying’s suggestion,
With the alliance between Qi and Qin.
Directly stirring up huge waves from the calm water surface.
All the countries in the world,
Now it can be said that everyone is in danger.
I am afraid that Qi or Qin will suddenly attack.
Faced with this situation,
When Zhao and Chu began to build bridges, various small countries responded one after another and joined the coalition.
only,
When relevant news spread to Xianyang, Qin State.
Fan Sui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a cold smile: "The human heart is the most untestable thing. Each of the coalition forces has their own agenda. Some people would really naively think that these people will work together."
Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with cynicism: "He Zong? What a joke. You can break it with a wave of your hand."
the other side,
After getting the corresponding news.
Qi's reaction was almost exactly the same as Qin's.
It's not like Han Lin has never seen what the so-called coalition forces look like.
Throughout history,
There are too many examples of failure.
The most typical one is the Warring States Period.
If the six eastern countries really work together, Qin will not be able to get out of Hangu Pass.
Although once, the coalition forces broke through Hangu Pass and approached Xianyang.
But in the end, after Qin sued for peace, he still chose to retreat.
Most of the time,
As long as there is no threat to one's own vital interests, or when attacking, they hope that others will try their best and reap the benefits. When everyone has this idea, the so-called coalition is naturally a joke.
...
Qi State.
Linzi City.
With the city's expansion project in full swing.
The area of Linzi City has been greatly expanded than before.
On these vacant lands, many house Buddhas have been built, and there is a large market running from north to south in the middle. Now it is full of various shops, such as restaurants, teahouses, antique shops, grocery stores, and tailors. Shops, gambling parlors, massage parlors...etc.
With the addition of another market in Linzi, the daily flow of people can be said to have doubled.
It is crowded and overcrowded every day.
same,
As the flow of people increased, it also meant that more and more money went into Han Lin's pocket.
After returning to Linzi,
Han Lin dove into the Golden Bird Terrace.
A long absence is better than a newlywed,
I haven’t seen you for such a long time, Gan Chai Lie Huo.
soon,
Inside Jinque Terrace, a raging fire was lit, and Han Lin was sweating profusely due to the heat.
A few days later,
When Yan Ying comes back,
After meeting, before the other party could bow down, Han Lin's first words were: "When will we attack Chu?"
Yan Ying: "..."
Are you still thinking about someone else's emperor emotionally?
Yan Ying coughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, what the Qin State means is that they have just fought with the Chu State and suffered heavy losses. They need some time to recover. Moreover, they are more inclined to attack the Qian State and the Zhao State first. It seems that we are not very willing to have Chu State."
"Moreover... now Zhao and Chu have formed an alliance, and at the same time are recruiting neighboring countries to join forces to resist Qi and Qin. It is not appropriate to send troops at this time."
I heard the words "it's not appropriate to send troops",
Han Lin's expression suddenly dropped: "I've been talking for a long time, why don't we have to wait?"
"If we wait any longer, will we still need the Qin State? If we wait for a while, I can personally lead the army and level the Chu State!"
Yan Ying consoled her: "The Empress of Chu is in Shouchun, which is only five hundred miles away from Linzi. Why should your Majesty be in a hurry?"
"Qi State has just experienced a bloody battle with Zhao State. There are many projects under construction in the country. We also need time to recuperate now."
Han Lin nodded helplessly.
A cooked duck can't fly anyway.
Faced with Yan Ying's advice, Han Lin was not too persistent.
Han Lin also understood the current situation of Qi State. He had been pushed to the limit by himself. It was really hard to say if he continued to push the situation.
And now,
There are also many concubines in Jinque Taichung,
When I came back from Zhao State this time, I also brought back a bunch of women from Zhao State.
He hasn't finished enjoying these yet, so there is no need for Han Lin to be anxious.
"It's been a hard time sir."
"In recognition of your achievements, sir, I will now make you the Right Prime Minister. You can go and rest now."
