Chapter 1999: Alliance with Chi You
Lu Qinghou was originally very dissatisfied with Chi You. After all, he was sent to the Southern Barbarians as an envoy of the Qin State. Chi You actually used seclusion as an excuse and did not even show his face. Moreover, he left him alone for so long. It was simply too arrogant.
The situation in northern Jing Dynasty is critical, and the Qin army's situation is not optimistic. They still need to rely on the southern barbarians to send troops to Yizhou to contain Liu Ji's troops.
Lu Qinghou came to ask for help from others, so naturally it was not easy for him to fall out, so he could only endure it for a while.
Lu Qinghou originally thought that Chi You would show up after a few days, but he didn't expect that Chi You didn't show up for a whole month. This way has shown his attitude. The Nanman will not unite with the Qin army, nor will they send troops to Yizhou. .
"Let's go back to Luoyang. This mission failed."
Lu Qinghou sighed lightly, he had been on mission to many countries so far, but this was the first time he felt so aggrieved as Nanman.
Qin Shuang and Nie Feng, who were bodyguards, were speechless when they heard this.
It was more than a thousand miles from Luoyang to Nanzhong. On the way, he passed through several interceptions and killings by the Shu Kingdom. Finally, he arrived at Nanzhong, but he didn't expect that he didn't even see the face of the Nanman King.
at this time.
"Sir, good, good news, the Southern Barbarian King Zhu Rongchi, he, he..."
"What's wrong with him?" Qin Shuang asked quickly.
"He came out of seclusion and came to see you in person."
"What?"
Lu Qinghou, Qin Shuang, and Nie Feng exclaimed at the same time, but then Lu Qinghou's face was full of doubts.
He originally thought that the Nanman King was unwilling to send troops and deliberately avoided him, so he stayed behind closed doors. However, he did not expect that Chi You would come to see him in person. The gap between before and after was so big that he had to think about it. practice.
"Is it true that as General Gonggong said, the Southern Barbarian King Zhu Rongchi is really in seclusion? He cannot be disturbed, so that's why he doesn't see us?" Lu Qinghou muttered to himself doubtfully.
"It is possible that the higher the martial arts realm, the longer the retreat time." Qin Shuang nodded.
"But one month is still too long?" Nie Feng asked confused.
Lu Qinghou and Qin Shuang were still too young to have doubts about Chi You's lack of appearance. If it were Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they would definitely not shake their original thoughts.
You must know that Chi You was not only a warrior, but also the King of the Southern Barbarians. He was the king of a country. He had a lot of official business to deal with every day. How could he be in seclusion for a month continuously?
If Chi You was really locked up for a month, the entire Nanman would probably be in complete chaos.
"Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Under the protection of several guards, Chi You walked into the gate and bowed to Lu Qinghou. Although he said "I'm sorry", there was no apology on his face.
"It's out of the way, it's out of the way."
After seeing Chi You, Lu Qinghou naturally returned the favor, but the expressions of Qin Shuang and Nie Feng suddenly changed. The hairs all over their bodies stood up, and there was even a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. .
"Brothers, what are you doing? It's too rude."
Lu Qinghou asked with a puzzled look on his face, wondering why Qin Shuang and Nie Feng had such a big reaction.
Qin Shuang leaned into Lu Qinghou's ear and whispered: "Sir, we don't want to either. You are a scholar, so you didn't feel the aura of the Southern Barbarian King, but we completely felt it.
The strength of the Southern Barbarian King is simply unfathomable. Only General Li Cunxiao has ever felt such a terrifying aura. "
"If the Southern Barbarian King wants to kill us, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back." Nie Feng said solemnly.
"What?"
Lu Qinghou showed an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe that the little Nanman could actually have a master of Li Cunxiao level.
"Your Majesty, can you control your momentum? My two guards are weak and cannot withstand the pressure of your Majesty's momentum." Lu Qinghou said to Chi You.
"good."
Chi You smiled calmly and said: "I have just broken through the retreat recently, and I still can't move it freely, which makes your envoy laugh."
After saying this, the powerful momentum that was like the weight of Mount Tai disappeared in an instant, and Qin Shuang and Nie Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing this scene, Lu Qinghou suddenly understood why Liu Ji, the king of Shu, had been wasting his time in Yizhou for so long. He had to join forces with Liu Yu, the king of Chengdu in Diduitou, to repel the invading Nanman army. The Nanman king was really too strong.
In the next half day of negotiations, Chi You relied on his charm and eloquence to completely break his image in Lu Qinghou's heart.
Chi You was tall and tall, with a resolute and domineering appearance. When combined with his own strength and cultivation, people would unconsciously think that he was a reckless man.
Lu Qinghou naturally thought the same thing, but what he didn't expect was that Chi You, who looked domineering and domineering, was actually a meticulous and shrewd person, and he knew how to be profitable and observant of etiquette. He was more like a Han Chinese than most Han people.
In addition, Chi You was not only eloquent, but also able to quote scriptures.
He saw the trap set in Lu Qinghou's words at a glance, and he was able to counterattack in a very short time. Lu Qinghou was speechless for a while, and his eloquence was not inferior to Lu Qinghou's.
"My lord, you are different from the one in the legend. It's better to see once than to hear a hundred times."
Lu Qinghou smiled bitterly and said, he never expected that Chi You would be so difficult to deal with, even some of the Central Plains princes could not compare with him.
All other conditions were negotiated smoothly, but when it came to the canonization, Chi You refused the canonization of King Nanzhong.
Obviously, the canonization issue was a trap set by Lu Qinghou for Chi You.
Although King Nanzhong sounds much better than King Nanman, Nanman is not a subordinate of the Han in the first place. If Chi You accepts it, he will be a minister of the Han from now on, so this condition simply contains evil intentions.
"Ha ha."
Chi You smiled boldly, then stretched out his calloused palms and said: "From now on, your two families will be allies. Please also ask the Qin State to abide by the covenant. The Southern Barbarians like friends who do not keep their promises."
"Definitely." Lu Qinghou responded with clasped fists.
The next day, Lu Qinghou left Nanzhong with his envoy, while Chi You was with the senior Nanman officials to see them off.
Watching Lu Qinghou's carriage gradually go away, Princess Zhu Rong asked with confusion on her face: "Brother, do you really want to form an alliance with Qin?"
Princess Zhu Rong couldn't understand how her brother's attitude could change so quickly. Didn't she say before that the wounds of the war had not been fully recovered yet, so now was not the time to send troops to Yizhou? Why are we forming an alliance with Qin now?
A sneer flashed across Chi You's lips, and he explained: "It is not necessary to send troops to form an alliance with Qin. Even if you send troops, you must go to war with Liu Ji."
"Then what are you talking about so far?" Zhu Rong asked in confusion.
"My silly sister, the Qin envoy came here with evil intentions. He wants me, the southern barbarian, to serve as a spearman for the Qin state. Aren't we allowed to use the Qin army in turn?" Chi You sneered.
