Chapter 566 Lobbying
Not long after, Su Qin took a cart of fine wine and a fragrant chariot pulling Mei Ji to the camp of the Chu army.

"Who is coming?" The general of the Chu army guarding the gate shouted loudly. At the same time, the soldiers around the general immediately pulled away their bows and arrows. Arrow shot to death.

Su Qin said with a smile: "I am Zhao Guodian's guest, Su Qin, and I am a friend of your general Xiang Bo. Jin Tite came to see General Xiang Bo, so hurry up and report, if not, let General Xiang Bo know you If you neglect me, you must be punished!"

When the general heard the words, he came immediately: "Sir, please wait a moment. King Xiang has a military order, and we, the villains, have to obey it."

"Just go and report it!" Su Qin said.

Not long after, Xiang Bo came.

The military gate opened, Xiang Bo laughed and said: "Oh, my old brother, long time no see, hurry up and have a chat."

Su Qin Jishou smiled and said: "General situation, this is a gift from me."

When Uncle Xiang saw it, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Here he is, what gift do you bring, come in quickly."

The soldiers who followed Uncle Xiang stepped forward and drove all the carriages and incense chariots in.

Sitting down in the military tent, without waiting for Uncle Xiang to say anything, Su Qin quickly cupped his hands and said, "The things I brought with me today are not my own, but another nobleman who has something to ask Brother Xiang for."

"This..." Uncle Xiang asked curiously: "What am I capable of? If anyone asks me to do something, for my brother's sake, I must help."

Su Qin said: "To tell you the truth, this man is Lu Bu, King of Jin."

"Ah? Lu Bu!" Uncle Xiang was furious: "I regard you as a brother, why do you help Lu Bu to be a lobbyist?"

Su Qin expected that Uncle Xiang would be angry when he heard about it, so he didn't feel flustered. He just smiled and said, "Brother Xiang is going to be angry. If it's just for the affairs of Jin, how can I run around like this? I don't care about our brothers. love?"

"Then what are you doing?" Xiang Bo looked at Su Qin suspiciously.

Su Qin said solemnly: "Of course it is for the strength of Chu State!"

"Hmph! Your words sound nice. Let me ask you, how do you make Chu Kingdom stronger?" Uncle Xiang seemed a little displeased.

"Well, I'll ask Brother Xiang a few questions too." Su Qin said seriously.

Uncle Xiang nodded and said, "Tell me, if I can't tell the reason today, I will turn my face and deny anyone."

"First, Brother Xiang thinks, what is the outcome of the war between Chu State and Jin State?"

"Hmph, what's the point? King Xiang is my own nephew. Now we have [-] elite Chu troops stationed here, and we will definitely wipe out Jin!" Uncle Xiang looked proud and did not take Lu Bu at all. Put it in your eyes.

"I'm afraid it's not entirely true." Su Qin analyzed: "There are [-] people in Chu State, which is the most elite army. Naturally, I dare not deny this, but have you ever thought about the remaining army of Jin State at this moment?" , are all soldiers who survived the battle with Qin soldiers like tigers and wolves.

Even if it is said to be elite, it is not an exaggeration.In this way, elite soldiers from both countries fought to the death. Even if Chu State could win in the end, it would definitely kill [-] enemies and lose [-]. If it was in normal times, naturally there would be no other concerns.

But brother, don’t forget that Chu State still has a covetous neighbor who is peeping at Chu State’s exquisite palaces, rich land and beautiful women.

If all the elite soldiers of Chu State died on the battlefield of Jin State, what would Chu State do to resist the attack of Shu State?Doesn't this mean that the villain Li Shimin picked up a bargain for nothing? "

Su Qin looked at his words and saw the thoughtful and fearful expression on Uncle Xiang's face, and then continued to analyze: "If I guessed correctly, it must be Li Shimin who encouraged King Xiang to send troops to a decisive battle with Chu.

In ancient times, the king of Wu wanted to attack Jing, and he said to his courtiers: "Whoever dares to dissuade him, I will kill him!"No one dared to dissuade the courtiers. Another guard warned the king of Wu with "mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind". It will be weakened within!
Now King Xiang wants to mobilize the whole country's army to attack Jin. How similar is it to the way it was back then?Right now, there is no one who warns King Xiang with the story of 'the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind', but there is Uncle Xiang, you are here, you are a nobleman of the royal family, and you must not watch King Xiang be bewitched by the thief, and do something wrong. This wise move ruined King Xiang's own reputation. "

"In this way, it is true that my brother said he came to save our country of Chu." Hearing this, Uncle Xiang quickly got up and bowed, "I almost listened to the words of a common man and delayed my century-old foundation of Chu country. Thank you brother for reminding me." , It’s just that this matter is of great importance, so I have to make an appointment with King Jin in person, and then I can come back to persuade King Xiang of my family.”

"What's so difficult about it?" Su Qinxi said, "My brother and I go to see the King of Jin now, and the King of Jin will definitely be happy to see him."

"Since this is the case, it should not be too late. Let's start now." Xiang Bo is also impatient, and now that Su Qin has fooled him like this, he realizes that once the war starts, it will not do any good to Chu. .

Su Qin smiled and said, "Very good, you and I are going to leave now."

Soon, Uncle Xiang left the army tent, but he didn't want others to know that he was going to meet King Jin, so he covered his face with a piece of sackcloth, only his eyes were exposed, and followed Su Qin to leave the barracks on horseback. Heading towards Mianchi City.

In other words, in Mianchi City, after Su Qin left, Lu Bu ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and he was here alone, staring at Su Qin when he came back.

Time flew by quickly, and it was almost two o'clock. Fusu walked into the courtyard, and looked up at the sky full of stars.

"This piece of night sky is underground, I don't know when it will be up to the widows to decide?" Lu Bu secretly sighed in his heart, with a sad look on his face.

"Report Your Majesty, Mr. Su Qin is back." A group of guards walked in and said loudly.

"Are you back?" Lu Bu beamed with joy, and hurriedly walked towards the door. Before he could get out of the door, Su Qin had already led a strangely dressed person in.

"Haha...Fortunately, the nobleman is here, please enter the inner room and discuss in detail."

"Exactly!" Lu Bu said joyfully, "Please also invite the gentleman, the nobleman and the widow to come."

That noble man is naturally none other than Xiang Bo.

When he came to the hall, Xiang Bo just took off the sackcloth on his face, and smiled slightly: "It's just a trick to deceive people, please don't make fun of it, Prince Jin."

Lu Bu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "How dare you? The general is here for the sake of the century-old friendly relationship between Jin and Chu. I know that."

When Uncle Xiang heard Lu Bu's words, he more or less knew that Su Qin's words were true, and that Jin really wanted to strike peace with Chu.

Uncle Xiang said: "Of course I know the stakes, but it is not easy to persuade my king to stop fighting and make peace. Besides, the person my king hates is only Yingbu." Why didn't King Jin arrest Yingbu and send him to the camp of the Chu army? In this way, Chu and Jin would be as friendly as before.

If the state of Jin is in trouble, the state of Chu will do its best to rescue it; if it is difficult to go abroad, the state of Jin will also do its best to rescue it. What's wrong with this? "

"That's all in the past, so why hold on to it?" Lu Bu comforted, "Now our common enemy is Qin, and our secret enemy is Shu, as well as Zhao in the north, and even Liu Bei and others. , are our secret enemies.

If Yingbo, a fierce general, is killed now, wouldn't the enemy clap their hands in secret, and the people in their own hands wipe their tears in secret?According to the widow, keeping Yingbo can still wipe out the enemies for Chu, but killing Yingbo forcibly just makes King Xiang happy for a while. Wouldn't it be better for him to run for King Xiang? "

Uncle Xiang himself had no idea, but now he heard Lu Bu say this, he nodded and said: "You are right, I will go back to the army now, and you will come to the Chu army early in the morning to apologize, the king will surely Forgive your sin."

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help turning his eyes to Su Qin, and Su Qin nodded inexplicably,

"Tomorrow morning, I will definitely come to the Chu army to plead guilty. At that time, I will bring Yingbu to apologize to King Xiang. I also ask the general to take care of me when the time comes. I have a youngest daughter who is three years old at home, and I am willing to marry the general. relatives by marriage."

When Uncle Xiang heard Lu Bu say this, he was very happy: "I have a child in my family who is only five years old this year. They are about the same age, so it's just right to do this."

"Haha, then congratulations to the king and the old brother." Su Qin raised the wine bottle on one side and said, "Longevity!"

"Longevity!"

The three of them raised their glasses with smiles on their faces.

That night, Uncle Xiang returned to the army, went directly to Xiang Yu's army, and told Xiang Yu everything he had done that night.

After Xiang Yu finished listening, he was shocked and angry, but because Xiang Bo was his uncle, he listened patiently.

"Hearing what my uncle said, I really think that Li Shimin deliberately provoked the lonely king to go to war with Jin, and that tomorrow's banquet will be handed over to my uncle. According to my uncle, do you want to entertain the King of Shu?"

Xiang Bo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the king of Shu committed injustice first, he and our court are also considered allies. The righteousness of destroying Qin comes first, so it should be a feast, but the king remembers that there is no chaos in the king of Shu." Don't pay attention to what you say at the banquet, lest you fall into a trap."

"Uncle, don't worry, if you re-introduce the king of Shu once, how can I plant it a second time?"

Xiang Yu said confidently.

Xiang Bo looked at Xiang Yu gratifiedly: "Brother has a soul in the sky, and seeing the achievements of the king, he must also feel gratified."
