Chapter 98

Chen Gong followed the eunuch into the main hall, Zhao Wang Wuchen was walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.

The eunuch saw that the man had arrived, so he said from a distance: "Master Chen, the king is just ahead, it's inconvenient to pass if you are angry!"

"Thank you, Eunuch!" Chen Gong said with a slight nod of his head, and walked straight towards King Zhao Wuchen.

"See you, Your Majesty!" When Chen Gong walked up to King Zhao Wuchen, he immediately bowed his hands.

Wu Chen quickly waved his hand and said: "Chen Gongtai flattened his body." Then Zhao Wang Wuchen pointed to a couch beside him and said, "Give me a seat!"

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The lonely king just watched you hesitate to speak in the hall, and I don't know why?" Zhao Wang Wuchen went straight to the point.

Chen Gong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I couldn't figure out why the Qin people suddenly withdrew their troops. I didn't understand why until I heard that Xiang Yu went north to attack Zhang Chu!"

"Tell me why?" Zhao Wang Wuchen nodded.

"Your Majesty, have you ever noticed that Xiang Yu's troops to the north were less than 20, but Zhang Chu's general Zhang Han led an army of 2 to the east, which is basically one-third of the strength of Zhang Chu? Is it to destroy an army of less than [-] people?"

Before Zhao Wangwuchen had anything to say, Chen Gong gave a cold smile, "Therefore, the 20 troops must first go to destroy Xiang Yu's army, and then turn around and go northward to destroy Qi with lightning speed. Then there is my country of Zhao, and then South Korea, Wei and so on! Our country is in danger, Your Majesty! Please take countermeasures early, so as not to overthrow the country!"

Zhao Wang Wuchen's expression was very bad, obviously he also guessed this possibility.

"Gongtai, how do you think the lonely king should deal with it?" Zhao Wang Wuchen hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with Chen Gong's conjecture.

Hearing this, Chen Gong smiled wryly and said: "We can only unite with other countries to send troops to suppress Zhang Chu together, especially... Lu Bu in Xianyang City, this person has the ambition to win the world. Now we are entangled with Qi, South Korea, Wei, etc., and unite with Lu Bu It is not impossible to send troops to contain Zhang Chu, and even defeat Zhang Chu!"

The military official paused, and said to himself: "At the beginning, the lonely king got the help of Chen Sheng, and just now he has achieved what he has done and his foundation today. Now, he turns around and attacks Chen Sheng, will it be..."

"Your Majesty! Great nations in the world are divided and united based on their interests. Taking a step back, Chen Sheng is also ruthless now. He wants to attack and kill our Zhao Kingdom and destroy our Taoism. We will stand up and resist. This is a legitimate defense! Your Majesty, please give me an order!" Chen Gong said impassionedly, with an excited look on his face.

Zhao Wang Wuchen's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Gong, the lonely king now orders you to handle this matter with full authority. Whoever dares to interfere will be killed!"

"Your Majesty, Shengming!" Chen Gong was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed.

Let's say that Chen Gong got the edict from King Zhao, so he left the palace in a hurry, and quickly sent three envoys in the name of King Zhao to Qi, South Korea, and Wei respectively.

Finally, Chen Gong thought for a moment, and sent out two envoys again, one to Xianyang City and the other to Chu State.

Let's say that the first three routes of envoys have all received unanimous responses from the kings of various countries. Now we will look at the envoys from Xianyang and Chu.

In Xianyang City, Lv Bu received Zhao Guo's envoy under Bai Qi's suggestion. After all, the Qin State in Xianyang has been destroyed and no longer exists.

Lu Bu listened to what Zhao's envoy said, nodded slightly and said: "The king of Zhao intends to befriend me, so I will naturally not refuse people thousands of miles away. I also ask the envoy to tell the king of Zhao that Lu Bu agrees to establish an alliance with the king of Zhao. Attack Zhang Chu!"

When the envoy heard the words, he was in a good mood immediately, and he raised his glass and said: "The former Zhao Kingdom and the general will be repaired forever!"

Lu Bu smiled faintly, raised his glass and said, "May our two countries be reconciled forever!"

That night, when the envoy returned to the posthouse, he repaired a copy of the book and ordered people to rush to Zhao State to inform Chen Gong and Lu Bu that the alliance was successful!

Let's talk about Xiang Yu's whereabouts. Before Feng Sheng led the troops out of the camp, he heard that Xiang Liang sent someone to inform Xiang Yu that Song Yi and Li Shimin put pressure on Xiang Liang.

Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanba is brave and invincible. He hopes that Xiang Yu will mobilize the army to retreat as soon as possible to stabilize the position of the Xiang clan in the Chu state.

Xiang Yu was furious after reading this letter, smashed the desk in front of him with his fist, and said angrily: "Li Shimin is a thief, I think he came to seek refuge with me in poverty. The thieves united to deal with me, it really is the ambition of a wolf, if I withdraw my troops back, I will definitely kill this person!"

Wang Meng comforted him and said: "General, please calm down. Right now, our army is going north, and all the troops we mobilize are our Xiang family army. Song Yi has a very vicious heart. He doesn't care about the suffering of the soldiers on the front line, and provokes internal fighting. He really deserves to die! It's just right now. Zhang Han's army is pressing down on the border, and we will retreat when the army retreats, so we can completely encourage the king to ask Song Yi to lead the troops north to fight against Zhang Han, while our Xiang family army secretly accumulates strength, so this can be regarded as revenge on Song Yi, the thief!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yu thought for a while, held back his anger, and said with a sneer, "Song Yier, a rat who is not good enough to do anything, will be beheaded sooner or later!"

Wang Meng saw that Xiang Yu's anger had calmed down, and he smiled and said: "The general is brave and the best in the world. How difficult is it to kill that villain Song Yi? It's just that we need to be patient right now!"

Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "Call Feng Shenglai back, and I will lead the troops back!"

"General, the source of Zhang Han's army, our army can't garrison Dongyang and other cities, retreating to Qu'a, honoring Cai Mao's navy, that's the best policy!" Wang Meng suggested.

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, "Would Xiang Ji care about the few cities in this area?"

Now that Xiang Yu's army retreated to Wuzhong Kuaiji, Song Yi saw that Xiang Yu's army retreated, so he had no choice but to settle down. Li Shimin also went to Xiang Yu's mansion to apologize to Xiang Yu in person. From then on, I hated Li Shimin in my heart.

Just one day before Zhang Han's army came to Xutai, Zhao Guo's envoy came to Kuaiji first and met the king of Chu.

When the king of Chu heard that it was Zhao Guo, he didn't think much about it, and immediately summoned Xiang Liang, Song Yi and others to summon the envoys.

The civil and military officials were divided into two rows, and Zhao Guo's envoy walked up the steps slowly, following the diplomatic etiquette...singing the Book of Songs.

Xiang Yu felt irritable when he heard it, and said angrily: "Just talk about it if you have something to do, don't talk nonsense!"

Then the envoy came forward with an innocent face, saluted the king of Chu, and said, "My minister, the envoy of Zhao State, pays homage to the King of Chu!"

Xiong Xin nodded slightly and said, "Pingshen! I don't know what's going on when the envoy came to our country of Chu this time?"

The envoy said: "At present, Zhang Han is sending 20 troops to the east. Our country of Zhao has united with South Korea, Qi, Wei, and even Lu Bu in Guanzhong, and we are preparing to send troops together to fight against Zhang Han's 20 troops. I have come here in the hope of reconciliation. Alliance of your country, join us and fight against Zhang Chu, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others!"

Xiong Xin didn't speak when he heard the words, but just kept looking at Xiang Liang with those eyes.

Xiang Liang glanced contemptuously at Song Yi, who was in the same row as him, then walked out, bowed his hands to Xiong Xin to show respect, then turned his head to look at the messenger, nodded and said, "Are you serious about what you said? "

"It's absolutely true! This is the letter of credence written by my king, please read it!"

Xiang Liang took the letter of state from the messenger, opened it, and saw that it was written on silk, and what he said was indeed a matter of uniting against Zhang Chu and Chen Sheng.

At that moment, Xiang Liang passed the letter of state to King Xiong Xin of Chu. Xiong Xin looked at it and asked, "I don't know what General Xiang means?"

Xiang Liang said: "Your Majesty, this matter will not do me any harm. Zhang Han's army is overwhelming the country now. If other countries help us, our country will surely overcome the difficulties and regain the glory of the Great Chu Kingdom in the past!"

At this time, Song Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I request you to read the credentials!"

King Chu Xiongxin held the letter of credence in his hand and was about to hand it over to the eunuch beside him. Suddenly, Xiang Yu became angry and shouted: "Song Yi! What kind of virtue are you! How dare you ask the king for something? Do you want to seek rebellion? ?”

This life is overwhelming!Not only was Song Yi's hands and feet weak from fright, but even King Chu Xiongxin was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his back. He thought that Xiang Yu was going to draw his sword to kill him at this time, so he squeezed the letter of credence in his hand tightly and gritted his teeth. Tight, looking at the desk in front of him without saying a word.

Xiang Liang sneered: "What? Could it be that General Song Yi thought he could lead his troops to defeat Zhang Han's 20 troops?"

"Haha! Song Yi, it's possible for you to kill chickens. I told you to kill people... Hehe, let's forget it!" Xiang Yu mocked.

Song Yi wanted to get angry, but the fearful Yong Wu could only keep a cold face and said nothing.

"Go and reply to your King Zhao. We, Great Chu Kingdom, are united and will work together with other countries to resist Zhang Chu and Chen Sheng!" Xiang Liang said triumphantly.

The envoy quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, cupped his hands and said, "The villain understands! The villain understands!"

……

In the Palace of King Zhao, Chen Gong was excitedly holding the letter of credentials from the Kingdom of Chu to see King Zhao!
King Zhao looked at it, and then said: "Fusu Xiaoer is now retreating to wait and see, but he has to be on guard. From the perspective of the public, who should be sent to guard against this thief?"

Chen Gong had long expected that King Zhao would ask this question, "In my dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang must be the strongest leader of the army, but going south to rescue Chu State is directly related to the life and death of our dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang must not Staying behind, a certain view Zhu Yuanzhang has a general under his command, and Xu Da is replaced by Xu Da.

However, from my point of view, Fusu is retreating now because he wants to see the exhaustion of our country and Zhang Han's army. Only then will Fusu send troops south, and according to my guess, Fusu wants to attack Zhang Han. Yes, the first one must be the Qi State, not my Zhao State! "

Zhao Wang Wuchen was surprised and said: "Why does Gongtai know?"

"If you want to conquer our country of Zhao, you need to face Lv Bu in the east, Chen Sheng and Wei in the south, and Qi in the east at the same time! This person who is helping Su has great wisdom in his heart, and he will definitely not do such an unwise move. "Chen Gong said confidently.
