Han Ping knew that Qin had already intended to attack Chu together with Han, Wei, and Zhao. Although Han was reluctant, he was unable to refuse. Obviously, it is impossible for Korea and Chu to "consolidate the close friendship between the two countries". But it hasn’t been revealed yet, so it’s hard to talk about it in depth. He wanted to find a way to secretly inform the Chu State, but there was no chance. He felt very embarrassed and replied: "Chu is the most powerful country in the world. It is a good thing for me to move to Chen. If something happens to me, I hope Chu will help me; I will help you." If you lose it, I hope Chu will blame it."
Huang Xie said: "Chu was originally a barbarian, with disheveled hair and left folds. He always admired China, but often refused to tolerate it, so he became close to Qin for eighteen generations! Now that he has entered Chen, he has entered China. If you want to be close to China, don't do it. Resign!"
Han Ping has a big head, how should he answer this? He had to force himself to laugh a few times and said: "Han, a small country, is a neighbor of a powerful country, so it should obey its orders!"
Huang Xie said: "I heard from your noble prime minister that Mr. Qin Jingyang Jun Fu may be arriving the next day. Mr. Fu is coming, but please invite me to meet the prince."
Han Ping was not as simple as the Han envoy, so he asked along the way: "Qin entered the old Chu, is it not an enemy? What can I do if I see it?"
Huang Xie said: "Qin and Chu have been in love for more than ten generations. How can they be cut off by attacks and attacks during this period? The relationship of marriage cannot be cut off!"
Han Ping didn't know what the Chu State was up to. Could it be that the Chu State knew about the joint attack on Chu? He could only respond: "I should recommend him!"
Huang Xie said, "When will Lord Jingyang arrive?"
Han Ping said: "Jingyang Jun Dao arrived by confusing the letter and passing through Huayang. Maybe he will arrive at Huayang tonight and enter Zheng in the morning."
Huang Xie said: "When Lord Jingyang arrives, I would like to go with you to welcome him."
Han Ping was even more surprised and said: "Huang Gong also welcomed Zheng Wai?"
Huang Xie said: "Qin and Chu have always been married. How can one not greet the in-laws when they arrive?"
Han Ping was confused, but he still agreed: "I will not disobey Mr. Huang's order, so I will obey it!"
After chatting for a while, Han Ping said goodbye and was about to leave. Huang Xie suddenly asked: "Have you heard that General Han has any duties?"
Han Ping was startled and replied cautiously: "After General Han's death, he was in mourning for the country. Although he was there, he was not appointed!"
Huang Xie nodded and said: "I am a neighbor of a big country, and I dare not not know the power of a big country."
Han Ping was confused by Huang Xie's words and did not dare to stay any longer. He had to resign hastily and find someone to discuss what Huang Xie meant. Huang Xie saw Han Ping out of the hotel, looking at his back, his suspicions about the various countries attacking Chu became stronger.
In the evening, Han Ping sent someone to convey a message that Lord Jingyang had entered Huayang, and they would go out of the city to greet him during the eclipse tomorrow. The Qin people would have breakfast together after staying.
The next day, Huang Xie and the prince got up at dawn, dressed neatly, and sat in the hall of the house to wait. There were twenty followers in the hall and two hundred Chu soldiers outside the house. The Han envoy entered the city and reported to the prince and Huang Gong to set off.
Under the leadership of the envoy, a group of people boarded the boat at the Jishui River, passed around the city, abandoned the boat and landed outside the north gate, and saw a large team waiting in front. The envoy brought the Chu people to the front. Han Ping came over and met everyone. He introduced the general Han Sheng, which seemed to be the answer to Huang Xie's question yesterday. Han Sheng also met Huang Xie and asked Huang Xie to lead his troops to line up across the road. The Chu army and the Han army lined up on both sides of the avenue, the lineup was spectacular. Huang Xie saw this situation and sighed in his heart: Where will he get such treatment when he arrives?
Huayang City is actually not that far from Zheng City. Not long after Huang Xie completed his formation, the dust in front gradually approached. In the dust, a car drove up. Different from the Central Plains, there were only two people in the car. The man on the left was known to Huang Xie as Lord Jingyang; the charioteer on the right was known only to Han Ping and was guest guest Hu Yang. When Han Ping saw that Hu Yang was also coming, his heart tightened and he subconsciously glanced at Huang Xie. Hu Yang's envoy was obviously here to discuss sending troops, and the target of sending troops, if nothing else, was the State of Chu.
Jun Jingyang and Hu Yang jumped out of the car ten feet away. Jun Jingyang crossed his hands in front of his chest and said to Han Ping, "Han Ping welcomes you, why should Fu be the one to do it?"
Han Ping said: "I am mourning the loss of my city. The princes are here, so I dare not fail to show my courtesy!"
Lord Jingyang looked across and recognized Huang Xie. He threw Han Ping away, walked up to Huang Xie and saluted, "Mr. Huang is here!"
Huang Xie bowed and said, "On the next day, I heard that Lord Jingyang was coming. I dare not not welcome him!" He turned around and bowed to the prince and said, "This is the end of the prince of our city... Young Master Qin, Junfu of Jingyang."
Lord Jingyang turned to look at Prince Wan. Prince Wan stepped forward first and bowed deeply, saying: "I would like to see Fu Fu!"
Jingyang Jun said in surprise: "Prince..."
Huang Xie said: "The crown prince's mother is the daughter of Qin..."
Lord Jingyang said: "You dare to be Ji Ying's son? It's been twenty years! I heard that the prince Fang Guan is the right time."
Han Ping followed him over and looked puzzled when he saw the Qin and Chu families warmly chatting with each other without any introduction. He glanced at Hu Yang, who was also following him, hoping to get some information from him, but Hu Yang was expressionless and watched the conversation between the three people indifferently.
At this time, Lord Jingyang also turned around, bowed to Hu Yang and said, "This is Prince Wan of Chu... This is Hu Yang, the guest minister of Qin. He has meritorious service in battle, and he may be more worthy of worship."
Huang Xie has always paid attention to the general trend of the world, so he naturally knows the importance of the middle watch. Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng and You Geng are the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth-level titles of the Qin State. They are one of the central-level officials in charge of "geng pawns". The soldiers of the Qin State were divided into two types, one was the garrison formed by farmers taking turns to serve, and the other was the garrison formed by temporarily recruiting prisoners, merchants, slaves, etc. Between the two, it is obvious that the Geng soldiers are the core of the Qin army, and the Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng and You Geng who are in charge of the Geng soldiers are the commander-level officials who command the national armed forces.
The prince saluted Hu Yang: "I'd like to see Hu Qing!"
Hu Yang held the horse's rein in his hand, cupped his hands and said, "I am incompetent and cannot be polite. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Huang Xie also said politely to Hu Yang: "I, Chu Zuitu Xie, would like to see Hu Qing!"
Lord Jingyang waved to someone and took the horse from Hu Yang's hand. Hu Yang then freed up his hand and returned the greeting: "Huang Gong came to Qin, and I was away on duty, so I didn't get to meet him. I returned to Xianyang and wanted to see Huang Gong's style. , my heart longed for it, and now we can meet each other, how lucky it is! Unexpectedly, only one month after leaving Xianyang, Huang Gong moved to his left disciple!"
Huang Xie didn't expect Hu Yang to be so sharp-tongued, so he said straightly: "I have heard of Hu Qing's name. I left Qin a few months ago to look for Hu Qing's traces. I think of Hu Qing's hard work, and I feel sorry for him! I heard about Qin. According to the law, when guests and ministers judge each other's surplus, the one who is the chief minister will be the chief of the concubine, and the chief of the concubine will be Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, and Right Geng. The bigger the Hu Qing is, the chief concubine will be the middle Geng, and the merit is not to stop the surplus!"
Lord Jingyang said: "Qin's law states that if you attack a city, you will have a profit of eight thousand levels; if you fight in the field, you will gain a profit of two thousand levels. Hu Qing used more than ten thousand people to win twenty thousand levels in field battles, but I was not injured. Apart from Wu'an Lord, Who can achieve this?"
Huang Xie said: "In the battle at Huayang, I don't know how many people were spared and how many were promoted to nobility!"
Lord Jingyang said: "Marquis Rang led 50,000 troops, Lord Wu'an led 50,000 troops, and Hu Qing led 10,000 troops. A total of 180,000 heads were obtained, and Hu Qing was the best!" Huang Xie peeked at Han Pingping and saw his expression. Sometimes red and white, I must have mixed feelings in my heart.
As if to avoid the immediate embarrassment, Han Ping stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between the four of them, saying: "I invite all the gentlemen to come in and talk to each other, but we can talk to each other in Daoye!"
The four of them seemed to have just realized that there was a Korean Prime Minister beside them, and they saluted together: "I am waiting for you to be rude!"
When the Qin people came, they actually brought a thousand Qin soldiers with them. Han Ping specially found a larger city on the outskirts of the city to settle them. The city is next to the Qinshui River and has beautiful scenery. Thousands of Qin soldiers entered the city and were put on guard under the command of a public servant. Five hundred Han soldiers and two hundred Chu soldiers were all stationed outside the city. They only brought fifty people with them into the city, but they were restricted to sitting outside the main gate and were not allowed to enter. When thousands of people entered the city, temporary chaos was inevitable. In this chaos, the same big cauldron in the main palace lit a fire at the same time to cook meat and porridge. Han Ping sat in the hall with four envoys from Qin and Chu. Qin and Chu were in guest positions, and they were not related to Han, so they talked about each other. The Qin Zheng envoy, Lord Jingyang, had a higher seniority than the Chu Zheng envoy, Prince Wan, so Qin was at the head and Chu was at the bottom.
Han Ping once again expressed his gratitude to Lord Jingyang for burying King Han, and both parties said some kind words. When the two sides of Qin and Han were almost finished talking, Huang Xie said to Lord Jingyang at the bottom: "I obey the king's order. After the king of Han is buried, I will send the prince to Qin. The king thinks that I am a disciple of the left, not for his own sake. It is actually from this also!"
Although Huang Xie's words were soft-spoken, everyone present, except the prince, was like a bolt from the blue! The prince of Chu entered Qin? What is this operation? Even Jingyang Jun, who knew the whole story, was surprised by Chu's decisiveness.
Sensing everyone's surprise, Huang Xie did not leave the audience in the cold, and continued: "Fortunately, Lord Jingyang and Hu Qing are in Korea. I would like to send my car to Qin. Is it okay?"
Being forced into a corner, Lord Jingyang had almost no choice but to respond: "I am fine. But is the prince really a hostage to Qin?"
Huang Xie said: "How can it be an emptiness for me to serve the king personally? This trip is also a sacrifice to the King of Han. After the burial, I will get up immediately! It is a great blessing that I can be on the same road as Lord Jingyang and ask Hu Qing day and night for advice!"
Han Ping secretly exclaimed in his heart that he actually resolved a crisis like this. Hu Yang, on the other hand, was complaining secretly in his heart. Seeing that the three Jins were about to attack Chu together, he couldn't say it out loud! Lord Jingyang has no objections to the attack on Chu, but taking the prince of Chu as a hostage is not a trivial matter. Speaking of it is also a major event that affects the geopolitical structure of the world, and it is obviously a change in the direction that is beneficial to Qin! In any case, we must not destroy our diplomatic achievements.
Suddenly receiving such explosive news, all parties felt that it was a kind of torture to falsely tell the story here, and they all wanted to go back immediately to digest the news and come up with countermeasures! After a few quick words and breakfast, Han Ping, Prince Wan and Huang Xie got up and resigned. After leaving the palace gate, he ordered all the soldiers to go out of the city gate together. Han Ping whispered to Huang Xie: "Zuo disciple is so naughty!" Huang Xie smiled slightly and said nothing.
Returning to the city in the south of the city via the original waterway, Huang Xie drove away everyone on the left and right, leaving only Prince Wan. Huang Xie said: "The matter is urgent and I don't have time to care about it. The prince is responsible for it!"
The prince said: "Since I left Zhanghuatai, I have been a servant and paid for Xie's father! What's the crime for Xie's father?"
Huang Xie said: "It is my crime to frighten the prince! If the prince is sad, he can sing and cry!" Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes turned red, and he covered his face and cried.
