Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2621 Shu Chu attacked the barbarians, Qin Nan married
Chapter 2617: Shu Chu attacked the barbarians, Qin Nan married
As far as Li Jing and Han Xin joined forces to prepare for the last fight, when they stormed Nanzheng, the situation in the South of Shu changed again.

Yangping Pass was broken, and it was a matter of time before Hanzhong fell, but Shuhan still failed to recover Shunan.

If things go on like this, Shu Han will fall into a situation where both the north and the south are trapped, which also makes the top officials of Shu Han, including Liu Yu, feel extremely anxious.

At present, with the power of Shu and Han, it is impossible to reverse the current situation in the short term, so it is necessary to attract external forces to intervene.

Liu Yusi thought about it, but he could only ask Liu Xiu for help, so he sent Zhang Song as a messenger into Chu, and persuaded Liu Xiu, the king of Chu, to send troops to attack the southern kingdom together with Shu.

After all, only by first defeating the southern kingdom and recovering the occupied Shunan, can Shuhan concentrate its forces to deal with the out-of-control battle situation on the northern front.

Liu Xiuzhen didn't want to intervene in the battle of Shunan. After all, Nanman, where birds don't lay eggs, didn't have much oil and water to fish for, and Nanman was not easy to provoke.

In addition, after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne in order to centralize power, it can be said that there were constant riots and turmoil in the Wu state. Therefore, the Chu state was also accumulating strength and preparing to implement the plan to destroy Wu. Naturally, he did not want to cause trouble.

However, when Yangpingguan fell, Shu Han obviously couldn't cope with Qin Nan's double attack. If Chu did not help Shu, the loss of Shu this time would be really big, which also means that it would weaken the strength of the anti-Qin alliance in disguise. .

Liu Xiu has always been a person with a big picture, and Zhang Song, the envoy of Shu, is really eloquent.

Therefore, even though many people in Chu State objected, Liu Xiu still insisted on supporting Shu Han.

Although Liu Xiu decided to send troops to attack Nanzhong, it was impossible to send too many troops. After all, the northern and eastern fronts of Shu also needed to deploy heavy troops to guard against Qin and Wu.

In addition, sending troops from Guangzhou to attack Nanzhong was harder than the Shu Road. It not only had to pass through mountains, swamps and jungles, but also deal with the attacks of beasts and mosquitoes. The cost of sending troops on a large scale was obviously too great.

After some deliberation, Liu Xiu decided to appoint Li Xiu as the main general, Shi Dakai and Cao Can as deputy generals, lead [-] Guangzhou troops, [-] Jiaozhou troops, a total of [-] troops, and attack Nanzhong from Yulin County.

The reason why Li Xiu was appointed to be the chief general, not Cao Can, who had rich experience in fighting the Nanman, was not because Liu Xiu did not trust Cao Can, but because Li Xiucheng was the governor of Guangzhou and had stronger control over the Guangzhou army.

As for Cao Can, after all, he had only just joined him. No matter how outstanding his ability was, Liu Xiu also intended to reuse it, but he always needed a promotion process.

Cao Can betrayed Shu and returned to Chu, but this time he wanted to fight against the barbarians and help Shu. Liu Xiu was also worried that Cao Can would be grumpy, so he went to ask Cao Can's opinion, but he didn't expect Cao Can's consciousness to be very high, and he didn't care about attacking the south. The Zhonghui helped Shu Han, and Liu Xiu was completely relieved.

As for the southern country, Chiyou had already guarded against the alliance between Shu and Chu. Not only did he leave [-] defenders, he built the three passes in Yunnan and Guizhou, and he also arranged spies on the border in advance.

Therefore, not long after the Chu State sent troops, Nanguo received the news.

Chi You, whose injuries had not yet recovered, was very anxious after learning that the Chu army had sent [-] troops, but the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

As an ally of Shu Han, the state of Chu is like a knife on the head of the southern state. If the state of Chu does not send troops, Chiyou cannot relax.

Well now, Chu State has finally dispatched troops, and the troops dispatched are not many, only [-], and the big stone in Chi You's heart can finally fall.

Chi You obviously overestimated the position of Nanguo in Chu's heart. He thought that if the Chu army sent troops, at least [-] troops would be dispatched, so he would leave [-] defenders behind.

But now the state of Chu has only dispatched [-] troops to attack Nanzhong, and the [-] defenders left in the rear of the southern state are obviously too many.

It happened that the front line was in a hurry. After repeated defeats, Nanguo lost a lot of manpower, and the total force dropped to 11. However, it had to face the 20 army of the Shu Han. The pressure was not ordinary.

Therefore, Chiyou and his subordinates decided to transfer [-] troops from the rear to the front.

Only relying on [-] troops was obviously not enough to get the Southern Kingdom out of trouble, so Chiyou also ordered the rear to expand the army.

For the southern country, it is easy to expand the army, and the ordnance and food and grass needed for the expansion of the army are not so easy to come out.

Nanzhong can only bear the cost of 20 troops, and the newly acquired land in southern Shu has not yet been digested. Not only cannot it provide assistance to the Southern Kingdom, but it also restrains part of the Southern Kingdom's strength.

Even if Nanguo is expanding its army now, it can only make up for the gap of 20. But if this is the case, it is not enough to hold the territory under the counterattack of more than 20 Shu troops, so new establishments must be added.

Nanguo couldn't come up with so many resources on its own, so he could only pin his hopes on Daqin. That's why the envoy and Zhang Yi returned to Qin this time. While seeking marriage, they also wanted to get more material support.

Chiyou's move to ask Daqin for help is right. Daqin wants to keep fighting between the two countries in the south of Shu. Now he only needs to provide weapons, supplies, and food, so that the southern country can continue to fight against the kingdom of Shu, and it will continue to weaken the kingdom of Shu. Power, this is naturally something that you can't ask for.

After the envoy from the southern country arrived in Luoyang, Ying Hao agreed to sell a batch of aid materials to the southern country at a 'cost price' without much ado.

The first batch of aid materials alone included: 20 horizontal knives, [-] long spears, [-] pairs of armor, [-] crossbows, [-] horses, and [-] stone grain and grass.

After these materials are loaded in Beihai Port, they will immediately go south and be transported to Qingmei Port of Annan, and then transported back to the southern country by land.

In order to defend the prefectures in the south of Shu, Nanguo has also made a real move. In the purchase list, there is not only a large amount of food and grass, but also all kinds of ordnance enough to equip [-] troops.

The amount of materials needed by the southern country this time is very large, so it is naturally impossible to give it away for nothing.

Daqin sold it to the southern country at the cost price, and if the transportation was included, it was actually a subsidy, but the transaction between countries was not only measured by money.

This time, even if Da Qin didn't earn a penny from the aid to the southern country, he actually won.

In terms of material support for the Southern Kingdom, the Daqin Chaotang quickly passed, but the Daqin officials discussed the marriage requirements of the Southern Kingdom for a long time.

The marriage proposed by Nanguo this time is not just to marry a princess, but also to ask for a princess from Daqin, which has never happened in Daqin's diplomatic history.

The southern kingdom still has great use value for Daqin, and once this two-way marriage is concluded, the connection between the two countries will be deeper.

But the Southern Kingdom is a foreign race after all, and it is only a small country with a population of less than 300 million. Is it really qualified to marry the princess of the Kingdom of Heaven?
The generals were generally opposed to marrying the princess to go to the southern kingdom, even if it was only the daughter of the royal family, but after all, she was only a princess in her identity, and they all felt that Chiyou, the king of the southern barbarians, was not qualified to be a princess of Qin.

The civil servants all supported this marriage. After all, the use value of the Southern Kingdom is indeed very great. In order to unify the great cause, the emperor can marry an alien princess, but why can't the Daqin princess marry an alien king?

After some debate between the two sides, the Wenchen faction took the upper hand, and the resolution of the two-way joint operation between the two countries was confirmed.And Ying Hao agreed.

"My daughters are all underage, Zongzheng, I don't know if there is a woman of the right age who is not married yet?" Ying Hao asked.

Ying Hao knew that Qin Nongyu, Qin Xiyan, and Ying Yuanman, who was born with Ying Zheng, were all daughters of the Great Qin clan, but he didn't know who among these people was unmarried.

Among the nine emperors, Zongzheng is in charge of the affairs of the royal family and the clan. Generally, there are senior clan elders in charge, but Qin Jian is only Qin Jian.

Qin Jian was still immersed in the grief of Ying Wen's death, but he didn't know that Ying Wen died because of self-blame, nor did he know Qin Rang's true identity, otherwise it would be nothing but troubles.

After Qin Jian heard Ying Hao's words, he thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the only one suitable for marriage in the clan is that girl Nongyu."

"Get jade?"

Ying Hao was startled, he didn't pay much attention to the marriage leave of his subordinates, but if he remembered correctly, Nongyu and Bai Feng had a good impression of each other.

"Zongzheng, Nongyu is not with Baifeng..."

Ying Hao didn't say anything later, after all, although Bai Feng's official position was not high, he could be implanted as Bai Qi's younger brother, even if Bai Qi didn't value this younger brother very much.

Seeing that Ying Hao didn't understand the situation, Qin Jian immediately said, "That's right, that girl Nongyu really fell in love with Bai Feng before, but that boy Bai Feng is too confused, and he doesn't know how to please his daughter's family. Each of them is busy with each other, communication is less, and the relationship naturally fades."

Hearing this, Ying Hao instantly understood why the two were drifting apart.

In essence, Bai Feng and Gai Nie Weizhuang are the same kind of people. They are the kind of people who are not interested in women. They only have martial arts in their hearts, and women will only affect the speed at which they draw their swords.

If Wei Zhuang hadn't met Chi Lian, if Gai Nie hadn't met Duanmu Rong, and if Ying Hao was a matchmaker for them, the two would have been bachelors for the rest of their lives.

Maybe Nongyu really liked Bai Feng at the beginning, but Bai Feng is not open to men and women, and then she doesn't take the initiative to maintain this relationship, so Nongyu naturally won't take the initiative, after all, she is now the identity of the clan, and she also has the status of being a member of the clan. The pride of a proud woman, if it is like this for a long time, will naturally drift away.

In this regard, although Ying Hao felt a little pity in his heart, he did not have the idea of ​​forcibly joining CP. After all, everyone has their own way of living.

"Even if there is no success between Nongyu and Baifeng, it shouldn't be only Nongyu in the clan, right?"

Ying Hao asked with a puzzled face, after all, Ying Yuanman and the other seven daughters are also very close by blood, and are also eligible for marriage.

Nongyu's ability is still good, and he has also made a lot of contributions at the Black Ice Terrace. If there is another choice, Ying Hao is naturally unwilling to marry Nongyu, just like Chi You can't marry Zhu Rong.

In fact, Ying Hao didn't want to add more harem staff for a long time.

He just finished the wedding with Sun Shangxiang not long ago. Now is the time when it is like glue. There are so many beauties in the palace and outside the palace. They all need him to nourish them, and he is really a bit of a clone. .

But this is a political marriage, it must be married, and it is impossible not to marry, then Ying Hao naturally hopes that the object of the marriage is Zhu Rong, after all, the two still know each other at least.

But Chi You is not stupid, and it is impossible to send a God of War out.

Ying Hao also knew this, so from the beginning to the end, he did not make any demands on the marriage partner of the southern country.

Because this is a political marriage, and without any emotional basis, he is only married to the status of a princess of the Southern Kingdom, no matter if she is beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, she must marry.

Of course, if you want to come to Chiyou, it is impossible to send an ugly girl to marry, otherwise, you will be suspected of deliberate humiliation, but you will really offend Ying Hao to death.

"Your Majesty, it's like this..."

After listening to Qin Jian's explanation, Ying Hao understood why only jade was suitable.

Ying Hao didn't care about royal marriage, but Ren Hongchang was very interested. Now Ying Yuanman and other seven daughters are either already married or have a marriage contract.

Ren Hongchang is also very particular about the objects he introduces to the daughters of the clan. They are all high-quality heroes with good character, talent and appearance.

Ying Yuanman married Han Xin, deputy governor of Jingzhou.

Ying Yinman married Wang Li, the nephew of Prime Minister Wang Meng.

Charmaine Ying married Bai Juyi, the younger brother of the general Bai Qi.

Ying Manman married Zhang Yi, a servant of the Ministry of Rites.

As for the young teachers, Ying Huiman, Ying Liman, and Ying Jiman, who have just grown up, also already have marriage contracts.

Ying Huiman was engaged to Long Yang, the younger brother of Long Qie, the deputy governor of Liangzhou.

Ying Liman is engaged to Yue Yun, the son of Yue Fei, the governor of Youzhou.

Ying Jiman betrothed to Wang Xuance, the son of the prime minister, Wang Meng.

Qin Xiyan has the resources of a great master, and it is definitely impossible to marry and marry, so she has been looking for a woman with a high enough status in the clan, who has not yet been married, and is suitable for marriage.

Even if Ying Hao was reluctant to give up, he could only let Nongyu get married. Who would let her be single.

"Pass on my will to make Qin Nongyu Princess Anyang, and from now on, change the surname Ying to represent my marriage between Daqin and Nanguo, so as to build a good alliance between the two countries."
