The State of Chu, dominating the south, was victorious in successive battles.
It has a huge land area and a large population.
King Chu Huai's Yunmengze hegemony has aroused the vigilance of all countries... Coupled with the Chu State's ambitious ambitions for the land of Bashu, it has made neighboring countries on pins and needles.
Wei and South Korea originally actively moved closer to Chu in politics and diplomacy...
But under the new international situation, coupled with Qin's lobbying and reluctant to cut off their flesh... Wei and South Korea agreed to Qin's invitation.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qin, Wei and Han was born like this!
Its strategic goal is obvious - it is the powerful Chu State!
To say that the price Qin paid to promote this alliance was indeed not small - all the lands taken from Wei and South Korea in recent years were returned in full - this included the land that was crucial to Qin. 【Yiyang】an important town.
Qin is full of sincerity, and Wei and Han are naturally happy...
…
Quyang County.
Xiong Wuliang's eyes widened in shock: "Is this true?"
Huang Wu, the commander of the Qingyu Guards in front of him, nodded with a heavy face: "It's absolutely true."
Xiong Wuliang couldn't sit still anymore, jumped down from the rocking chair, put his hands behind his back, walked around a few times, his head turning rapidly.
Not long after, Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua, and Le Yi rushed to the mansion, and they all handed over to Xiong Wuliang: "My lord."
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand towards Huang Wu. Huang Wu understood and explained the 'Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qin, Wei and Han' to the three ministers...
Qu Yuan took a breath and was equally shocked.
The situation has changed drastically, and the situation is not good for Chu State!
Zhao Hua frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qin has always been unfaithful... Can the land ceded to Wei and South Korea be implemented? If it is just lip service, then the Three Kingdoms Alliance is not a big threat... "
Although the situation was critical, everyone still smiled bitterly in unison——
Obviously, everyone thinks of Zhang Yi's allusion of "six hundred miles becomes six miles".
Le Yi shook his head and said calmly: "Don't take any chances - Qin will definitely go all out to attack Chu this time."
"I'm afraid this battle won't be easy."
The three of them looked at each other... Although the situation was not good, there seemed to be a hint of unspeakable joy in the eyes of these three people.
The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces came to the door.
Marquis Quyang, we don’t believe it—can you still sit still?
You keep talking about 'retreat' and 'retreat'... When the enemy troops reach Quyang City, can you really surrender?
The alliance of Qin, Wei and Han was a huge bad news for Chu State - but thinking about it on the other hand, if we can take this opportunity to force the lazy Marquis Quyang to change his mentality of lying down and go out to fight against the enemy... it would be considered A blessing in disguise!
At this moment, another messenger ran in from outside and handed the letter to Xiong Wuliang: "Junhou, this is a letter from the State of Qin!"
Xiong Wuliang's pupils shrank and he immediately opened the letter.
It was the letter written by King Qin Ying Ji - a reply to the marriage between Ying Zhuo.
The words in the letter were very polite, but there was no mention of a specific date or pick-up location...
After Xiong Wuliang finished reading, he put down the letter in his hand and smiled bitterly——
It looks like it's another battle that must be fought!
This battle has never happened before in real history... Even Xiong Wuliang, a time traveler, is not sure what the future will be like.
Fortunately, the Chu State is now strong and has many soldiers... After a rest in the past year or two, the treasury is also full - even if it is a real fight with the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, it will not be too empty. .
Qu Yuan coughed slightly, but he was the first to lose his composure and asked in a low voice: "My lord... the enemy countries have joined forces to invade in a big way - Chu is in danger!"
"I wonder, my lord, if you want to personally lead the troops to fight against the enemy?"
Xiong Wuliang frowned tightly and struggled in his heart... It had been more than a year and he was used to living an peaceful life. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to show up in public anymore.
His hand drooped down and accidentally touched the Pingnan sword hanging on his waist.
Xiong Wu's conscience palpitated slightly... After struggling for a moment, he said softly: "Well... don't be in a hurry, let's take a look first."
"Let's see how Yingdu... will respond."
…
Yingdu.
King Chu Huai was furious and showed the 'wrath of the overlord' in public!
"Shu Zi! How dare you do this!" King Chu Huai's fat hand waved violently in the air!
"The Yunmengze Alliance has only been established for more than a year... Wei and South Korea originally had their hearts set on the great Chu!"
"How long has it been since?"
"Treachery! You deserve to be killed!" King Huai of Chu panted.
The ministers smiled bitterly - Wei and Han had only flirted with Chu in the past, and had never formally reached any agreement... We really can't say that they were 'treacherous'.
In fact, Wei and South Korea have also initiated an application for a formal alliance.
But our King Huai of Chu has to act like a hegemon and is lukewarm towards others...
it's good now!
Wei and South Korea went to join forces with Qin!
Are you worried now?
After an awkward silence for a moment, a minister finally stood up and offered advice: "Overlord, please calm down - since the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han are eyeing our great Chu, there is no time to delay."
"Please give the overlord's order to immediately mobilize the whole country, deploy troops and generals, and prepare for war at any time!"
"In addition, we need to choose a capable general to command the three armies and fight against the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces!"
King Chu Huai nodded repeatedly.
Just as he was about to give orders, he suddenly fell into confusion.
Mobilize the whole country and deploy troops and generals?
In the past, this was the job of the old Ling Yin Zhaoju... But Zhaoju had not shown his face in court for a long time.
Choose one that will...
It seems that it must be none other than Marquis Quyang!
But Marquis Quyang... also disappeared for a long time. There is no news except for an anecdote about a slap in the face of a Confucian family.
Without thinking, King Chu Huai immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Immediately order Yin Zhaoju and Da Sima Xiong Liang... to discuss matters in front of you!"
…
Zhaoju's Ling Yin Mansion was already deserted...but after all, it was still relatively close to the palace, and it soon received the order from King Huai of Chu.
However, Zhaoju did not go to the palace to confront the King of Chu immediately. Instead, he quickly sent someone to send a letter to Prince Mi Heng.
By the way - after the initial conspiracy, the relationship between Zhaoju and Mi Heng became closer.
Although the plan to assassinate Marquis Quyang was not implemented in the end, Zhaoju quickly gained Mi Heng's trust by virtue of his "undisguised loyalty" to the prince.
Even though old Zhaoju has been claiming to be ill, he has been secretly advising the prince. With the secret assistance of Zhaoju, the old fox, Mi Heng organized the "Chu-Qi Covenant" ceremony very beautifully and won the favor of Chu. King Huai praised him greatly.
Because of this, Prince Mi Heng relied more heavily on Zhao Ju.
After receiving Zhaoju's letter, Mi Heng quickly came to Lao Zhaoju, with an undisguised trust in the latter on his face: "Old Lingyin, what do you want to teach me this time?"
