The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 426
Talk in two parts.

Zhou Yu was defeated and led the remnants of the army to run all the way. It took two full days before he returned to Rao'an City. Ran Min counted the soldiers and horses. There were more than [-] soldiers left and right!
This is also a blessing in misfortune.

At this time, Ge Ying arrived!

Feeling the sluggish atmosphere in Rao'an City, Ge Ying could more or less guess what happened here.

It was Wen Zhong who greeted Ge Ying.

At this moment, Wen Zhong's face was pale, as if he wanted to give Ge Ying a bad impression, but Ge Ying talked and laughed freely, completely in the rhythm of self-made and self-acting, and didn't care about Wen Zhong's blue face at all.

"The purpose of Mr.'s coming here, I have already known more or less, the Emperor of Qin is not dead, my lord is newly defeated, and I don't know if Mr. is going to fight for your lord at this moment?" Finally, Wen Zhongban With a straight face, he said the second sentence after meeting.

Ge Ying smiled slightly: "Sir, could it be that you have decided to go south to fight my king?"

"This...?" The corner of Wen Zhong's eyes twitched, Zhou Yu's current state to go to war with Chen Youliang, who was waiting for work, would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

The most important thing is that there is not enough food and grass in the army, and it was completely burned by the fire two days ago.

Going to fight hungry is almost tantamount to seeking death.

"Hey!" Ge Ying smiled slightly, "Since your lord doesn't intend to fight, let's think about how to overcome the current difficulties."

"Then your Excellency means..." Wen Zhong regained his energy immediately, and no longer had a livid face, but looked at Ge Ying with excitement.

"Don't worry! I'll talk about it when I see your master!" Ge Ying's eyes flashed a hint of displeasure.

"Yes! It was someone who was abrupt!" Wen Zhong smiled apologetically.

After a while, when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yu looked a little more haggard than in the past, but his eyes were still shining brightly, and he was still the same Mei Zhoulang.

Ge Ying stepped forward and saluted slightly, "I met Sima."

He is now the Situ of Chen Guo, with the same status as Zhou Yu.Naturally, there is no need to kneel and worship.

Zhou Yu didn't care about such illusory etiquette, and waved his hands: "Please take a seat!"

After Ge Ying was seated, Zhou Yu said: "Mr. must have seen the current situation, and I don't know what your plan is?"

Hearing this, Ge Ying thought to himself, Zhou Yu's defeat was indeed beyond his imagination, and he never thought that the young emperor would have such a means to play with the world under applause.

However, can Zhou Yu be persuaded to retreat now?

too difficult!
"Before answering the general's question, I want to know something about the general." Ge Ying didn't answer Zhou Yu's question directly, but talked around it.

Zhou Yu said, "It's okay to speak up!"

Ge Ying asked, "Does the general have the ambition of Duke Zhou?"

When everyone heard this, their faces showed anticipation, waiting for Zhou Yu's next words.

The Duke of Zhou assisted King Cheng of Zhou to govern the world for many years, and finally, after King Cheng of Zhou became an adult, he handed over all the political power of the Zhou Dynasty to King Zhou Cheng. He was a well-known minister throughout the ages.

The ambition of the Duke of Zhou mentioned by Ge Ying here is to ask Zhou Yu if he fell to the ground and wants to come back to serve as king, or if he also intends to become king.

Zhou Yu is also a human being, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words. He nodded and said, "The rituals of the Zhou Dynasty have collapsed, and people like Duke Zhou have been enough for thousands of years."

Hearing this, Ge Ying's eyes lit up. Zhou Yu was expressing his heart. The so-called King Qin was just an excuse. What he wanted was the entire Qi State.

"If that's the case, the general needs to know that if my king and the general go to war, I'm afraid that the state of Qin in the north will become a fisherman..." Ge Ying murmured: "Therefore, my king sent Tian Shi, the son of Tian Dan, this person In his hand is his father's imperial edict, which says that he will give the throne to the general!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, even Zhou Yu gasped.

If this is the case, doesn't that mean that Zhou Yu can justifiably be called the King of Qi?
As for whether this edict is true or not, who cares?What Zhou Yu wanted was only a name. Tian Shi was the son of the previous King Qi. He had the King Qi's edict in his hand, so the people in the world would naturally not suspect him.

"Ridiculous! Sir, what you said is really ridiculous!" Li Ji said angrily: "Do you think that my lord can be dismissed with a piece of imperial edict? Since it is written in the imperial edict that King Qi gave the throne to my lord, why did Chen Youliang refuse to let him go?" Leaving Linzi? Everyone knows that Linzi City is the old capital of Da Qi since ancient times. Wouldn’t the world laugh at your actions like this?”

"Heh, the sword in a general's hand is a short-haired sword, bring it to me!" Ge Ying's expression remained unchanged, she sat up straight, and stretched out her hand to snatch the sword from Li Ji's waist.

Li Ji said angrily: "Your Excellency is Situ, why do you do such robber things?"

"Oh! The general wants to rob the capital city of my country of Chen. Could it be that it is the work of a hero?" Ge Ying's face remained unchanged, and he sneered back.

"You—" Li Ji was stunned, only then did he realize that he had fallen into a trap.

"Sir, it's better not to quarrel, and let me tell you that King Chen supports me to become king, but it's not just a piece of paper." Zhou Yu said lightly, but he wanted to see how much blood Chen Youliang could bleed.

All these are nothing more than food, population, and land.

As long as Zhou Yu's needs can be met, Zhou Yu will not lead the current remnant soldiers to fight Chen Youliang to the death.

"In addition to the righteousness needed to be king, my king has prepared food for a [-] army for a year, and he can send troops to help the general at any time. In addition, if someone's prediction is correct, Liu Bang, the king of Pei in the south, has also formed an alliance with my king. They can also send troops to aid our two countries at any time!"

At this point, Ge Ying seemed to regard Zhou Yu as the king of a country. He cupped his hands and said, "Besides, there is one more thing. You can only talk to the general!"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and flicked his sleeves: "This place is all my confidantes, so it's okay for you to speak up!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was very pleased.

Ge Ying smiled heartily, glanced at the faces of Li Ji, Ran Min and the others, shook his head and said: "My king has said about this matter, so I can only talk to the general. After the general has heard it, if he is willing to tell your subordinates Generals and advisors, this has nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned, then got up and walked to the back hall.

Ge Ying stood up, cupped his hands at everyone, and said, "I'm sorry!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, very disdainful.It was Li Ji who got up and returned the salute.

After Ge Ying left the hall, Ran Min said, "Sir, is this person trying to drive us apart?"

"No! There must be extremely important news that can only be known to a limited number of people. We treat the lord with sincerity. We should know, and the lord will naturally let us know." Wen Zhong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei also nodded slightly, not expressing anger.

In the back hall, a hundred steps away, there were all warriors in heavy armor and swords in their hands, and they couldn't help but feel a murderous aura rushing towards them.

Ge Ying walked up to Zhou Yu without changing his face.

Zhou Yu also looked at Ge Ying with a half-smile.

"Can the general recognize Bai Qi?" Ge Ying lowered her voice, as if she was worried that her conversation would be overheard in such a fortified place.

"Bai Qi?" Zhou Yu frowned, and pondered: "You mean the Bai Qi who claims to be the descendant of Bai Qi and wants to destroy Qin?"

"That's right, it's this person!" Ge Ying looked around with a vigilant expression, Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he felt that this guy was going to... assassinate him?
Zhou Yu was extremely vigilant at the moment, seeing Ge Ying stretch out his hand and took out a letter from his sleeve, but after seeing the letter, Zhou Yu became more vigilant.

After all, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin and hid the dagger in the map, not many years ago.

If Ge Ying came to hide a dagger in the letter today, it would be dangerous!

"This is a letter written by Bai Qi himself to the king of a certain family. Let's see, general!" Ge Ying offered it with both hands, but after three breaths, Zhou Yu hadn't taken the letter yet. It's not perfect."

At that moment, Ge Ying unfolded the letter, and wrote a lot densely on the white Qin paper.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, then took the letter and read it carefully.

"This……"

After just a few glances, Zhou Yu's complexion suddenly changed, and he said in shock, "Is this true?"

"It's written in black and white, and it's written very clearly. Please destroy it after reading it!" Ge Ying said in a deep voice, and then looked at Zhou Yu solemnly: "Now the general knows why a certain person said this. You said it."

"Very good, but I just want to ask, if Qin's land is conquered, how will it be distributed?" Zhou Yu squeezed the letter in his hand, and at this moment regained his usual calm and demeanor.

"I, Chen Guo, ceded Jiaodong County, and even part of Gaotang County to Pei Gong, so that the general can go north and occupy the vast land of Qin State." Ge Ying said, "Of course, if what Bai Qi said in the letter is successful, when the time comes Going south to fight against Sima Yi, the general must also send troops."

Jiaodong County has a radius of thousands of miles, and it is the most fertile land in the whole world, with a large population.

One is that there is salt here, and the other is that there are more copper mines!The currency in circulation in the world is made of copper.

Especially after the first emperor unified the world, he destroyed the currencies of the six countries, and stipulated that round square hole coins should be the common currency of the whole country.

A metal like copper becomes incomparably precious in an instant.

Zhou Yu was really surprised that Chen Youliang promised to cede such a rich land, but it can be relieved after thinking about it.

When Chen Youliang ceded Jiaodong County, he could completely move his land northward to the front line of Junliang City. This large area of ​​land is enough to be worth several Jiaodong counties. Generally speaking, he is still making a steady profit.

The most interesting thing is that Chen Youliang is between Zhou Yu and Liu Bang. As long as the alliance relationship does not break down, Chen Youliang can be said to be the safest, freeing up his hands to manage internal affairs and secretly accumulate strength.

"Yes, if that's the case, Gong Jin will send troops!" Zhou Yu also said solemnly, and then shouted: "Come here, bring the brazier!"

After a while, a guard came with a brazier, put it down respectfully, and then walked out backwards.

Zhou Yu opened the letter in his hand, checked it with Ge Ying, and then burned it in the fire.

Ge Ying admired Zhou Yu's cautious character.
