Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-08-06

This time Qu Dou led his troops to attack Chen Jun. In fact, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, but because he saw Xiang Liang's two uncles and nephews making military exploits repeatedly, if he didn't make meritorious deeds while they were at odds, then there would be nothing in the future. Fa and Xiang Liang competed in court.So this time Chen Jun is inevitable for him. With the help of Liu Bang and Song Yi, he thinks he can always take down Chen Jun.

Everything really went smoothly beyond his expectations. Presumably, these Qin people already knew that their [-] troops were defeated by the Chu people. When they saw the arrival of the Chu army, those Qin soldiers dared not go out of the city to meet the enemy. After being besieged by the Chu army for a few days, some of them opened the city gate and surrendered. In this way, Qu Dou's army occupied Chen County after only a few days of besieging the city, and returned to Kuaiji smoothly.

After the King of Chu found out about this, he bestowed rewards on the three of Qu Dou. The rewards were no less than the two times when Xiang Yu took back Donghai County and Xiang Liang defeated [-] Qin soldiers a few days ago.Naturally, people in Chu who saw the situation clearly knew King Chu's favor for Qu Dou, so a group of people who had been at odds with Xiang Liang stood on Qu Dou's side. The power of the state has once again been balanced.

"Unexpectedly, the king of Chu has only been in office for a few years and he already knows the way to check and balance. If this continues, our life will be difficult." Xiang He looked at Xiang Liang who frowned.

Xiang Liang smiled wryly and said: "If the King of Chu is really trying to win Chu for me, then the more shrewd he is, the happier I will be. It's a pity that although Qu Dou, who he values, is very talented, he is not the one who is wholeheartedly trying to win Chu Chu for me. He just wants to gain power, so I will not let them succeed. But what worries me the most now is Yuer. From what he said to me last time, I can hear that his dissatisfaction with me has made him unbearable. It turned out that I wanted to let him practice again, when the time comes, everyone in the Chu Kingdom will obey him, but now it seems that he doesn't want to take this step, so he can only make more military achievements."

Xiang Ta asked, "General, now that Your Majesty has started to cultivate Qu Dou, what should we do?"

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Qu Dou's foundation in our country of Chu is far less solid than that of the general. Now it is just relying on the trust of the king. In fact, even the king is just a pawn in the general's hands. If they really have the trust of the general Unfavorable behavior, we can naturally find another Chu person to be the king of Chu. But for the stability of my Chu land, and also to deal with the Qin people, we have to let the Qudou people exist first, so that more talented people scholars come to our country of Chu."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Xiang Ta know that everything was still under Xiang Liang's control, and what was shown now was just an illusion.

But Xiang Yu didn't know this, and now there was a burst of anger in his heart. Since Xiang Liang captured Kuaiji County together, Xiang Liang has become a figure who overshadows the sky in Chu State, but he has never been able to get too much credit. It was a torment for a young man with great ambitions.He had always believed that his uncle was thinking of him, so even if he didn't let him lead troops to fight, he would bear it.But this time he thought it was a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but Xiang Liang stopped him. Was he afraid that he would overtake him by making too many meritorious deeds, that's why he always refused to lead his troops?This doubt has been in Xiang Yu's heart for a long time, but now he has no courage to question Xiang Liang, and the suspicion between his uncle and nephew is getting bigger and bigger.

This time Chu State's occupation of Chen County not only affected its own internal affairs, but also affected the other two countries that had never dared to confront the Qin people-Zhao and Qi.

Ever since Zhao Guo was almost sent to Handan by Zhang Han, they have not dared to make any big moves. They just became kings in Handan City, and they didn't even dare to attack the original cities.But now there is very little grain left in the city of Handan. If Zhao people don't think of other ways, I am afraid that the newly re-established Zhao State will die automatically.

Zhao Ye looked at the officials below and asked, "Now it's the moment of life and death for me, Da Zhao. I wonder if everyone can help me, Da Zhao, to get through this difficulty?"

Zhao Ting, who was named Marquis of Changlu, came out and proposed: "Now my country of Zhao is just a land of pills in the Central Plains. It is indeed very difficult to attack the counties and counties of the Qin people, but if we find an ally, it will be like the six countries working together It is normal to fight against Qin, maybe we still have the possibility to survive. However, I think that the soldiers and national strength of the Chu people in the south are enough to compete with Qin Yi, and now they have a record of defeating the Qin people by [-] soldiers. Chu Lianhe will definitely be able to deal with Qin Zhou."

"No, Changluhou's words are wrong." A person came out with a loud voice.

Zhao Ye took a closer look and found that it was Lian Hai, the descendant of Lian Po, the famous general of Zhao State. But at the same time, their ambition is no less than that of the Qin people. Their goal is also to unify the world. If Zhao Guo and Chu form an alliance, they may be annexed by the Chu people in a few years. By then, it will be too late for us to regret. Moreover, to the people of Chu, the 3 or [-] horses in our country of Zhao are not in their eyes, so even if they form an alliance with us, they probably won’t value us too much, so I don’t think the people of Chu should form an alliance.”

Zhao Ting really didn't think about this point, but his proposal was refuted by Lian Hai, which left him with no place to put his face, so he asked: "Then what does General Yi Lian mean, what should we do?" ?”

He originally wanted to make things difficult for this young man, but unexpectedly Lian Hai said confidently: "I have thought about this issue too, now we should unite with the Qi people who are far to the east. Although the Qi people have always regarded themselves as equals to the Qin people Eastern Emperor, but now they are the same as my Zhao people. We were defeated by the Qin people, and the Qi people were also driven back to Linzi by the Chu people. It is not easy to annex our country of Zhao. Qi and Zhao join forces is a move that benefits both parties."

Hearing this, Zhao Ye also said: "It's unreasonable for me to listen to General Lian's words, but we can send someone to try it out. What do you think?"

The other ministers didn't care about it, and now it was a critical moment for the state of Zhao, so naturally no one would prevent things that would benefit them from happening, so everyone agreed to Lian Hai's proposal, and even Zhao Ting nodded in support.

So Zhao Ye personally wrote a letter of credence, and Zhu Lianhai took it to Qi State, hoping to get the help of Qi people.

After a few days' journey, Lian Hai brought his credentials to Linzi, the capital of Qi.Seeing the thriving scene in Linzi City, Lian Hai was filled with emotion: "Now we know how rich the Qi people are. It seems that this place far away from the Central Plains is not as devastated by war as Handan and other places." While thinking , while coming to the gate of the palace.

The Qi Palace is the one that was not destroyed by the Qin people, so it looks much more magnificent than the newly built Zhao Palace in Handan, and it also has a deep sense of history.After the soldiers guarding the gate knew that the visitor was an envoy from the State of Zhao, they went in and communicated, and then the welcoming officials came out to welcome him and lived in the posthouse not far from the palace. All the etiquette was the same as before. , Grand and detailed.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of the palace guards, Lian Hai went to the palace to meet King Qi.

"General Lian came to Linzi this time to join forces with Qi to fight against the Qin people?" King Qi asked after reading the letter from King Zhao to him.

"Yes, both Qi and Zhao are now coveted by others. Only when our two countries unite can we repel the Chu people and Qin people, and even restore our former homeland." Lian Hai is not overbearing. Said humbly.

"But your country of Zhao only has a county of Handan, the capital, so how can you cooperate with us?" An official among the Qi people suddenly asked.

"Don't worry about this. Although my country of Zhao was beaten by the Qin people and only the capital Handan is left, there are still hundreds of thousands of Zhao people in Zhao's territory. As long as my king raises his arms, he can form an army of hundreds of thousands. Wouldn't it be easy to capture a few cities by then?" Lian Hai said confidently.

King Qi laughed and said, "Since Zhao State is still so powerful, why did you think of forming an alliance with Qi State?"

"It's just because we know that Zhao Yiguo alone can't compete with Qin. Only by uniting with other anti-Qin forces can we restore the old place."

"But we have almost regained all the old places of Qi, and now we have more than enough to protect ourselves. Why should we form an alliance with you, Zhao, to help you restore the old places?" Another minister asked.

"My lord's words are wrong. The reason why our six kingdoms were destroyed by Qin back then was because they were not united enough and even attacked each other. This gave the Qin people an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now we can't make the same mistake again. And I I also heard that the Chu people have always been in alignment with each other. If they know that our two countries are in an alliance, when they want to attack Qi again, they will have to weigh the strength of our two countries. Therefore, our two countries will benefit from cooperation. thing."

King Qi looked at the officials below and found that they were all moved by Lian Hai's words, so he asked, "If we form an alliance, what will we do?"

"It's very simple. As long as one side is in trouble or sends troops, the other side must send troops to help. Only in this way can we deal with the threats from Qin and Chu."

After thinking for a while, King Qi nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to form an alliance with Zhao, and from then on, I will help each other and advance and retreat together!"

Lian Hai hurriedly knelt down and said, "King Qi is wise, after our two countries form an alliance, we will definitely become stronger!"
