Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 442 Pairing Up the Alliance (3)

The alliance was imminent, and Qin and Chu were running wildly, taking great pains for the safety and smoothness of the alliance in the future.

In the camp of Western Chu, King Xiang and his father Fan Zeng had their own concerns.Similarly, in the Qin camp, Qin Emperor Hu Hai, Kuai Che, Dun Wei, Wei Liao, Wang Ben and others were silent.

At this moment, facing such a major event as the Qin-Chu Alliance, they didn't know what to say for a while.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth slowly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows that you are not feeling well, and so do the ministers."

"The city that was shed with the blood of my old Qin people is handed over to others in vain. As long as it is a hot-blooded man, I feel uncomfortable!"

"However, the Great Qin Empire must take this step, especially in the situation where Western Chu is actively showing favor, and it cannot refuse; the fundamental reason is: Western Chu is so strong that launching a big war will put Great Qin in danger of overthrowing!"

"All the countries in the world are weak. As long as we form an alliance with Western Chu and rely on the natural dangers of Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass, even if there is a temporary hardship, I, the old Qin people, can fully survive."

Speaking of this, he sighed weakly and said: "This is diplomatic relations, only based on interests, two evils are in power, whichever is lesser."

"call……"

Letting out a long sigh of depression, Qin Emperor Hu Hai interjected, saying: "Everything Dianke said is true. For such an alliance, the form of the agreement is far more important than the content of the agreement!"

"As long as the imperial edict is completed and made known to the world, the specific terms of the covenant are actually insignificant, and there is no need for me and Xiang Yu to decide in person."

"However, this is diplomatic relations. Although it is very false, the necessary joints are indispensable."

……

This is Hu Hai's perception. In his opinion, this is true of almost all diplomatic relations, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.The so-called diplomatic relations are backed by the strength of the country and based on mutual arguing.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flickered, he looked around, paused every word, and said: "What the Great Qin Empire is paying attention to right now is not this Qin-Chu alliance, but power."

"Old Qin people must accumulate their own strength to wait for favorable opportunities. We have missed such opportunities several times."

Having said that, Hu Hai changed the subject and said loudly: "The major problems in troubled times are not solved by alliances and concessions, but by iron and blood!"

"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national calamity together!" For a while, they raised their tents and shouted.The voice of Jiujiu and Lao Qin going to the country together is endless.

This is the answer given to Hu Hai by the officials of the Great Qin Empire, and it is also Hu Hai's confidence.

Finally, Hu Hai glanced at the group of officials, waved his hands, and said: "Everyone go down to rest, and the Qin-Chu alliance will be held in the future, Zhu Qing, don't fall into the prestige of my Great Qin!"

"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, everyone walked out of the big tent one after another.

……

"Dudu..."

……

In the early morning of the next day, melodious horns sounded from the two camps in the south and north of Pingshangling.

"Let's go!" Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, waved his hand while looking in the middle.

"promise."

At the same time, Hu Hai in the south also boarded the cloud car, and gave the order decisively, saying: "Command, let's go—!"

"Yes--!"

All of a sudden, the bell rang loudly.Accompanied by bursts of horns, the black ceremonial guards in the south and the khaki guards in the north set off at the same time, and gathered towards the camp in the central area without haste.

At the same time, the bronze chariot of Kuai Che, who presided over the alliance ceremony, drove into the gate of the camp.

Kuai Che entered under the high platform in the center of the camp, boarded a cloud car on the east side of the high platform, and then gave a long and high voice: "Let's enjoy the day—the meeting with the Qin Emperor and the King of Chu enters the camp—"

"..."

All of a sudden, the music started loudly, the bells and drums were melodious, the flute pipes were clear, the jade chime was peaceful, the singing was solemn and solemn, and there was a kind of majestic atmosphere.

The Son of Heaven's Yale rang out in the place where Qin Chu was allied.

After the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Dashao", "Daya" and "Song" became the music and dance of the Son of Heaven.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, rituals and music collapsed, and "Daya" entered the halls of princes.

Now that "Daya" is playing, the two armies of the Great Qin Empire and the Western Chu, accompanied by the grand and peaceful music and dance, the black and yellow honor guards entered the camp from the two gates at the same time.

These two gates are carefully arranged by Kuai Che. If it is an ordinary foreign exchange alliance, one gate can be entered sequentially.

However, this was the first time that the two great powers met in desperation. At this time, Qin Chu always wanted to overwhelm each other in terms of momentum.

In desperation, in order to ensure that the alliance can continue, Kuai Che had to do this.Setting up two gates naturally solved the problem of Qin Chu and He Guo being number one.

Qin Chu entered the two gates at the same time.

Due to the deliberate restraint between Qin and Chu, even though the swords were on the verge of murder, they were safe and sound.

The carriages of Hu Hai and Xiang Yu entered the camp, and they got off at the same time within a stone's throw of the Huimeng platform, and walked from the north and south corridors to the Huimeng platform respectively.

Seeing the layout of the meeting place, Qin Emperor Hu Hai smiled slightly.These people arranged extremely thoughtfully, not only considering the face between Qin and Chu, but also unwilling to be left behind by half a point.

Standing under the Huimeng stage, neither Hu Hai nor Xiang Yu took a step.Because at this time, the singing and dancing in the camp has not yet ended, and the emperor's music is still going on.

A quarter of an hour later, the Yale just finished playing, and the dancers withdrew after Daya ended, and the central venue suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Qin Emperor Hu Hai waved slightly to Xiang Yu who was facing him: "King Xiang, please——!"

"Emperor Qin, please—!"

The gesture of please fell, and the two of them took steps one after another, and after a while, they stood still in front of the two long tables in the center.At the same time, Kuai Che, who was in the middle of the venue, said loudly: "In the middle of the mountain, Qin Emperor Chu Wang wrote to heaven and earth—"

This is the traditional etiquette of the alliance of princes.In the alliance, it is often the leader of the alliance who sues the sky, the second most powerful country sues the earth, and the rest of the alliance stand in the audience to accompany the sacrifice.

But this time the alliance was only between Qin and Chu, and Kuai Che directly asked Hu Hai and Xiang Yu to report to the world at the same time.

After Kuai Che's voice fell, Xiang Yu and Hu Hai turned back to face north, and under the guidance of Dun Wei and Heng Chu, they boarded two three-foot-high sacrificial platforms.

At the same time, Xiang Yu and Hu Hai unfolded a scroll of bamboo slips respectively, and said impassionedly, "Haohao goes to the sky, and the earth is dark: the world is falling apart, the people are displaced, and the flames of war start on the land of the Central Plains!"

"Today, I, Xiang Yu/Hu Hai, obey the heaven and respond to the people, and worship the heaven and meet the alliance in the Pie Shangling. I am committed to the peace of the world, and I will stop fighting and fighting. I hereby declare that the heaven, earth, people and gods will learn from each other."

……

When reciting the astronomical documents, each other is full of spirit.At this time, both Xiang Yu and Hu Hai were young and full of energy.

Moreover, at the same time, he was the monarch of the Great Qin Empire and Western Chu, who became the lords of the Central Plains and established the order of the world.

Therefore, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu have been competing and competing from the very beginning.
