The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 605

"Put down the basket, and bring up the envoy of Qin." Wang Meng ordered.

Since he had already agreed to meet the envoy of Qin State, he would naturally not do anything to provoke criticism at this time.

Wang Meng himself felt that the dignified state of Chu still had this kind of demeanor.

Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang's boat came to the basement of the water city wall, and the Chu army put down two baskets.

Chen Ziang looked at the two baskets that were lowered from the tower, and his face turned black. No matter what he said, he was here as an envoy to Chu State on behalf of the Great Qin court. Du Shenyan welcomed the two of them in, but there was really no way.

Du Shenyan also had a gloomy expression on his face. The two stood on the boat, and the soldiers who rowed the boat one after another rowed the boat to the center of the river and stopped there.

"My envoy heard that Chu is a big country, but today, I see that it is just a wall climber!" Chen Ziang shouted!

When Wang Meng heard this, he said with a smile: "It's quite capable." He turned his head and ordered: "Order to open the gate of Shuicheng, and send a general to meet him."

"Here!" The soldiers beside him hurriedly cupped their hands, commanding the soldiers behind them to go forward and open the gate of the water city.

Du Shenyan looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Chen Ziang, you still have the ability!"

Chen Ziang said solemnly: "You and I came here under the orders of the emperor. Personal life and death have been ignored. The two of us can die, but the Great Qin Kingdom must not be humiliated!"

"Exactly!" Du Shenyan heard this, although his temples were slightly white, but his face was upright, revealing a majesty that cannot be underestimated.

The majesty of the empire cannot be violated!
"Boom—"

The river was churning, bubbles of "cuckoo" emerged from the bottom of the water, and the gate of the water city, which had almost never been opened, was lifted up!
More than 300 strong and strong soldiers threw off their armor, pulled the valve, and hoisted the city gate.

"boom--"

The warship slowly pushed in and out, stirring up a layer of spray several feet high, splashing on the river, like a crystal clear raindrop.

After seeing the battleship coming out, Chen Ziang and Du Shenyan looked at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

This is the benefit of persistence. If the two had succumbed from the beginning, they would have suffered even more humiliation when they went up to the tower and entered the camp of the Chu army.

Everyone's dignity is earned by oneself with blood and sweat, and there is no respect for no reason.

Chen Ziang looked up at the generals on the battleship, and said in a low voice, "Du Gong, for the sake of the country, if you and I offended the powerful Wang Meng of Chu and died in the south, would you have any regrets?"

Du Shenyan smiled lightly: "My son is already as old as you, what is there to regret?"

"That's good." Chen Ziang said: "When the general of the Chu State comes to speak, please ask Du Gong to entrust his life to me, and I will speak."

"How difficult is this!" Du Shenyan said proudly.

Chen Ziang in the official history is the most virtuous talent among the literati in the early Tang Dynasty. One of his poems is "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the coming ones in the future. Thinking about the long life of heaven and earth, I feel sad and tearful!"

His character is proud, his aura is powerful and simple, and he knows that this person has a proud heart, a big chest, can swallow mountains and rivers, and can carry the sun and the moon.

"Master King Meng of Great Chu's general, Niu Chan, met the two envoys, and invited the two envoys to follow the general into Dantu City, and meet with my masters."

After saying this, the military general of the Chu State directed the people around him to put the ladder on the battleship on the boat.

Chen Ziang took a sudden step forward, lifted the ladder into the river with a flying kick.

The general of Chu State was shocked, looked at the envoy, and asked in surprise, "What does the envoy want to do?"

"I am the envoy of Daqin. I am here to discuss state affairs with Wang Meng. This matter is of great benefit to both Chu and me. Go back and tell Wang Meng. If he is still unwilling to personally Come to meet me, then wait to start a war with me, Daqin!"

Chen Ziang shouted in a deep voice.

The general was baffled by the yelling, and hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what the envoy wants the villain to report?"

"Just tell Wang Meng the word 'Shu Kingdom'. If Wang Meng is a smart person, he will definitely come out of the city to meet me. If not, my million-strong army from the Qin Dynasty will definitely flatten Dantu City!"

General Qin Guopi turned pale with fright, and quickly directed the soldiers back to the city.

On the city wall, Wang Meng asked coldly, "Why?"

General Pi cupped his hands and said, "The envoy from Chu State said that you must go out to meet him in person before you enter the city."

"It's so rampant!" Wang Meng was furious, pointing at the boats of Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang in the distance, "Give me a trebuchet and smash that boat into pieces, so that he can know what the majesty of a great country is, okay?" Don't let him be presumptuous!"

Hearing this, the general of the Chu State hurriedly said: "General, that man also asked the general to give the general a sentence, and he only said two words 'Shu Kingdom'."

Hearing this, Wang Meng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will go out to greet you in person!"

"My lord can't!"

"No adults!"

"Who knows if there will be any conspiracy outside? If your lord reaches the center of the Yangtze River, the Qin army on the north bank will take the opportunity to attack, what should we do?"

Crackling, the generals on the tower knelt down.

However, Wang Meng knew very well that there must be something strange about the attitude of the two envoys, especially when the envoy asked someone to send a message back, saying the word "Shu Kingdom".

Chu State now wants to concentrate its national forces to attack Shu State. This is already a well-established national policy and cannot be changed by any other factors.

Wang Meng is not an ordinary person, so he will naturally come into contact with the political and Hexi affairs of Chu State, so he is very clear about the future direction of Chu State.

Similarly, the problems facing the Qin State are not small. The ancestral land of the Qin State has now been recovered. It is not an easy task to connect the two vast lands of Xianyang and the capital.

There is also a powerful state of Zhao in the middle. It is by no means a matter of time for Qin to destroy Zhao.It must be a protracted battle.

Whether it is the Qin State or the current Chu State, they are all facing the national war, and must mobilize all the resources of the whole country to go all out.

To the north of the state of Chu is the old land of Zhang Chu. On the old land of Zhang Chu, there are many princes side by side. It takes a lot of troops from the state of Chu to defend the area of ​​Yingdu alone. Dantu Water City has a nominally 20 army, but Wang Meng He knows better than anyone that there are actually more than 30 troops guarding here.

Here is the natural danger against the strong Qin. If you defend Dantu, you can confront Qin. If you advance, you can capture the rich land of Qin.

Especially in the area from Yancheng to Hancheng, countless rice is planted.

For this matter, Wang Meng even sent out to the north to study rice planting techniques, but he couldn't find a way.

The people over there are all Huns, and I have given them a safe meal, but no one is willing to sell this technology to Chu State.

This also made Wang Meng depressed for a long time.

"It doesn't matter, even though the people of Qin have no credibility, it is not so cheap to directly cross the Yangtze River in a hundred days of blue sky." Wang Meng shouted loudly, walked down the tower, and directly boarded the battleship.

"My lord, I'm willing to follow my lord!" Many generals were worried and said loudly.

Standing on the deck, Wang Meng laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. A few years ago, some alchemists told Wang Meng's fate, saying that Wang Meng's fate is hard, and he will never die here."

Many soldiers heard this and forcibly led the soldier aboard the battleship, wanting to protect Wang Meng.

Wang Meng said sternly: "You are all powerful generals of my great Chu. When the time comes, look at the Qin State. The two envoys are not afraid of death. I am the highest official sitting here. If I lead so many people If you go out, won't you be laughed at? Back down!"

"This……"

Xiang Zhuang looked around and said, "Generals, step back for now. With Xiang Zhuang protecting Mr. Wang, we will definitely save the day."

"Here!"

Only then did many generals lead the soldiers up the tower.

The warship started to move again, and Du Shenyan, who had been looking outside with a sore waist, made a smart move and came immediately: "Chen Ziang, they are here, quickly see if the person above is Wang Meng, my eyesight is not very good. "

Chen Ziang's palms were also covered with sweat: "Here it is, yes, that's Wang Meng!"

The official uniforms of the officials of Chu State inherited the specifications of Xiong's Chu State, which is very easy to identify.

With a slight smile on Wang Meng's face, the celebrity put down the ladder.

"My official is Wang Meng, two envoys, please!"

"I have seen Master Wang Meng!"

Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang slightly clasped their hands, which was regarded as mutual courtesy.

Climbing up the ladder to the battleship, Du Shenyan's heart was pounding. It is estimated that if Wang Meng made any drastic moves at this time, Du Shenyan might yell, "You dog thief!"

Then he rushed forward and died with Wang Meng.

But anyway, Wang Meng was more nervous than them. Although he chatted with Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang first, his eyes were always on Qin Jun's camp.

His old opponent, Sima Yi, is right there. If something goes wrong, Sima Yi may really take advantage of this time and lead an army to kill him.

Fortunately, Sima Yi did not mess around... When he returned to the water city wall, Wang Meng also breathed a sigh of relief. There was a slight wind blowing on the river, and only Wang Meng knew that the clothes on his back were already soaked...

"You two envoys, please follow me to the military tent!"

Although Dantu Water City has a city in its name, it is actually a military tent!
When Xiang Liang died here in the past, it was just an army camp built of wood. Later, Xiang Yu learned from the pain and built a city wall directly on the bank of the river. It can be regarded as determined to confront the Qin army.

So behind the city wall, there are still military tents, and not many buildings have been built.

Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "My lord, please!"

After a while, the three came to a military tent together.
