Red Fox was yelled at by Princess Liehui, and he felt depressed and walked away angrily. The little yellow croaker immediately followed the red fox and murmured: "Look at the enthusiasm between the two of them at this time, how could Princess Liehui allow you to slander him like this? Calm down! Don't be confused, you can only watch while walking!"
"Yes, thank you! Little yellow croaker, I will bear with you."
King Jin of Huaishan was shouted at by Red Fox, and immediately let go, pulling Princess Liehui and Little Yellow Croaker into the manor to settle down, and mentioned to Princess Liehui that he had met the King of Chu and had the kindness to raise them.
"Well, it turns out that you have saved my father's life! But who would have thought that my father would not allow us to communicate with each other." Princess Liehui's face was filled with regret, and she was puzzled by the King of Chu, and she burst into tears.
It is said that Peng Junmai, King Wu of Chu, whose original surname was Xiong Tong, was known for his benevolence and righteousness. He advocated being close to the people, being gentle and security, and he was a king who governed the country peacefully. Twenty years ago, he went to Qin State just because he wanted to make friends with the King of Qin and benefit the people of Chu State. The King of Qin also promised not to send troops to Chu at this time to show his good relations with Chu. The Queen of Qin dressed up in fine clothes and tried every means to persuade the King of Chu to stay in Qin for a long time, which I won't mention here.
After returning to Chu, the King of Chu was delighted. However, if soldiers are not cultivated, they will not be able to fight, and if soldiers are useless, they will not be skilled. Therefore, the king of Chu strengthened his training on weekdays. As the saying goes, "Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while."
At that time, when the sons were older, the King of Chu asked King Lieying and King Yushen to recruit troops and train their own soldiers. The two princes visited various places to recruit wise men and expand their troops. In less than a year, the armies of King Lieying and King Yushen each grew in size and had their own merits. King Lieying was a kind and loyal person, and he managed the tribe with courtesy and courtesy. King Yushen had a sharp vision and unique wisdom. He was famous for his surprise and crispness in military management. The king of Chu was naturally happy.
"Report!" On this day, hurry up and report. The King of Qin sent an envoy to the palace to ask for an audience with the King of Chu.
The envoy from the State of Qin came straight to the Chu Palace. The king of Chu sent cavalry to notify a post station to let them go. King Chu asked Queen Xuanqi to prepare court clothes and go to court immediately. Queen Xuanqi said worriedly while dressing up in court clothes with King Chu:
"I was on good terms with Qin when I sent an envoy to Qin last time. I wonder what the King of Qin meant by sending an envoy to Chu this time?"
The King of Chu was kind-hearted and thought of others' strengths. He comforted Queen Xuanqi:
"Queen, don't worry, it's just a matter of communication between countries."
"Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that King Qin will play tricks on you." Queen Xuanqi gave a brief reminder.
King Chu took Queen Xuanqi's hand and comforted her softly:
"My good queen, just take care of the harem and love King Lieying and King Yushen Bu." Then, with the support of the chief father-in-law, the King of Chu officially entered the hall to welcome the envoy of Qin.
"The envoy of the State of Qin enters the main hall!" "The envoy of the State of Qin enters the main hall!" The reporter's voice came closer and closer.
The envoy from the State of Qin came straight to the palace of the State of Chu. I saw the Chu State's palace was solemn and solemn, with two rows of officials standing on either side, looking solemn and solemn. The king of Chu straightened his clothes and sat down solemnly.
"Have a seat!" King Chu greeted the Qin envoy politely.
The envoy from Qin took out a document and presented it to the King of Chu. The king of Chu asked his father-in-law to read the document.
"King of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River: I want to exchange three hundred miles of land for the two cities of Hechi and Yingchuan in the Chu Kingdom. The King of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River must agree to me! With the preparations of our great country of Qin, the king of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River cannot underestimate me. Kuang Wu If we make good friends with your brothers, both countries will be safe and sound. It is the best of both worlds. If the King of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River does not allow it, I will send my troops southward and temporarily stay in the south of the Yangtze River..."
Since the father-in-law had not finished reading, the king of Chu stopped the father-in-law and signaled not to read any more.
The King of Chu stood up and stepped out of the throne. Walking down the stairs, not angry but powerful. Two rows of Chu ministers stood on both sides in panic.
"Qin is located in Hebei, and Chu is located in the south of the Yangtze River. If your country wants to change my city, how can we have both? Now you go back and reply to the Lord of Qin. I will personally reply to the King of Qin about the city change." King Chu always said He is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Now he does not want to anger the envoy, but only tells the envoy from Qin to return quickly.
"As ordered." The envoy from Qin valued the etiquette of the King of Chu and did not force him to stay in Chu. He reorganized his clothes and returned to Qin.
"The trick of King Qin is obvious. The exchange of cities is a lie, but the plan to attack Jiangnan and capture our Chu land is true." The King of Chu thought. Qin and Chu are far apart, so I don't know why the King of Qin did this. He must understand King Qin's intentions. So he decided to go to Qin personally to solve the problem.
The king of Chu disguised himself as a businessman, and with only one entourage, he set off from the state of Chu and drove to the state of Qin. Along the way, we stopped at inns and inns, and it felt like visiting a beautiful river and mountains. In this way, stop and go, a month later, we arrived at the capital of Qin.
The King of Chu asked his attendants to take out his clothes and get ready to meet the King of Qin. Peng Kunmai, the king of Chu, was full of heroism and went to the Qin court while singing Chu songs. The Qin Palace was naturally fortified and full of swords and soldiers. The King of Chu laughed and laughed:
"What are you doing? Why are you welcoming me, King Chu, like this?"
The King of Qin sat high on the throne, looked around at his ministers, and said:
"Look, the Southern Barbarian King of Chu has entered our court like crazy. What should we do?"
"Hoo, ho, ho!" The officials cheered.
"Let's catch him and cook him!" a minister suggested.
"Has it been cooked?" King Qin asked.
"It's cooked well, it's cooked well. Jiangnan has abundant rainfall and a suitable climate. The meat of my King Chu of Jiangnan is tender and tender." The King of Chu laughed and said.
"A month ago, our country wanted to exchange three hundred miles of land for Hechi and Yingchuan of Chu. Didn't this unruly King of Chu promise to come to Qin to reply with his own eyes? We might as well see what he said." Another minister suggested .
"I'll trade three hundred miles of land with you for Hechi and Yingchuan. If you don't agree to it, aren't you looking down on me?" King Qin approached King Chu and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, calm down! I received the land from my ancestors and have lived there for generations. How dare I exchange this land easily? Even if your Majesty exchanged a thousand miles for Hechi and Yingchuan, I would not dare to exchange it!" King Chu did not dare to exchange it! Said slowly.
"Bold! How dare you, a lonely king and a few monarchs, to come to my Great Qin Palace alone? And you are still talking nonsense here! How do you see our Qin Empire in your eyes?" King Qin pressed forward step by step.
"Your Majesty, your Qin land is north of the Yellow River, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. How can it be that our Chu land in the south of the Yangtze River has caused the people to be displaced in vain? Moreover, the people in the north are not accustomed to the southern climate, which will cause a sharp decrease in the residents of Qin, and there will be endless troubles. Even if the lonely king In exchange for you Hechi and Yingchuan, the people of the two countries will not be happy, and farming in the two places has almost stopped. Your Majesty, don't you get more than you deserve?"
"Still quibbling! Come here, tie him up." Before Qin Yu finished speaking, King Chu stepped forward from behind King Qin and clamped King Qin's hands. "Who dares to move, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed!" The cuff of his right hand slipped out! A shining knife. King Chu immediately caught the knife with his right hand and laughed sharply:
"Haha, haha." King Chu's laughter filled the hall with chills.
"King Chu, a gentleman is magnanimous! How could I covet you, the Chu Kingdom?" King Qin's face changed drastically, and he immediately repelled and begged King Chu.
The King of Chu still laughed and said: "Our two countries live in peace. Twenty years ago, I came to communicate with your country. We negotiated and cooperated with each other. Who knew that your country had changed and you had the intention to destroy my country, Chu." "
"I am just joking with you. From now on, our two countries will always be at peace." King Qin begged for mercy. The Empress of Qin walked out of the inner hall with a cheerful look on her face and signaled to the King of Chu with her eyes. When the king of Chu saw it, he stopped.
"Your Majesty, you must send me safely out of the city." King Chu asked King Qin.
"Okay. Okay." King Qin agreed immediately.
Only then did the King of Chu let go of the King of Qin.
"Hurry up and have a banquet to welcome the King of Chu!" King Qin ordered the people around.
After the banquet, King Qin planned to send two soldiers to send King Chu safely back to Chu. Unexpectedly, on the way back to Chu, he was almost plotted by soldiers sent by the King of Qin. Fortunately, he was rescued by Ren Wusu (Lan Bi'an) who was exiled in the desert. The King of Chu recognized him as his adopted son and granted him the title of King Jin of Huaishan, so he was able to return to Chu safely. (To be continued)
