As soon as Yuan Cang entered Xiangyang and before arriving at Xiangyang City, he stopped hiding his whereabouts and announced his identity and the purpose of this diplomatic mission to the outside world.
As the news spread, it quickly spread to Xiangyang City of Chu State and reached the ears of Prime Minister Qu Ping.
Qu Ping got the news.
??I was suddenly stunned.
He was shocked to learn that Xiong Yuanxiang was caught, far more shocked than Xiong Tai's death. Xiong Tai is just one of the many heirs of the Chu State, and he can only be said to be the best heir of the Chu State. Without Xiong Tai, the Chu State will still function.
But Xiong Yuanxiang is irreplaceable and is the pillar of Chu State. Chu State lost Xiong Yuanxiang. To put it bluntly, it was like losing its backbone.
Qu Ping was a little panicked and didn't dare to waste time, so he hurried into the palace. When Qu Ping entered the palace, he received the news that Xiong Huai was taking a nap, so he directly ordered his chamberlain to ask Xiong Huai to get up.
Xiong Huai just took a nap and felt a little drowsy after getting up. He saw Qu Ping and asked, "Prime Minister, is there anything urgent?"
Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, something bad happened. Our ancestor was defeated and captured by Wang Qi."
"What?"
Xiong Huai stood up immediately.
There was a look of shock on that somewhat old face, which was incredible. Even his hands were trembling a little at this moment. The reason why Chu State remains standing is not only due to Chu State's own strength, but also to Xiong Yuanxiang's intimidation.
As long as Xiong Yuanxiang is here, no one in Chu State dares to make any mistakes, not even Zhao Li, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north, dares to act rashly.
Xiong Huai said: "Prime Minister, are you sure?"
Qu Ping said: "Wang Qi has sent envoys to Xiangyang. According to the latest news, Wang Qi's envoys have entered Xiangyang. It is estimated that they will arrive in Xiangyang soon for negotiations."
Xiong Huai still looked in disbelief and said: "My ancestor is a master at the Grand Master level, invincible and unrivaled. Although Wang Qi is powerful, he is just a grandmaster. How could our ancestors lose if we try? ? Is there something fishy about this matter?"
Qu Ping said: "Wang Qi dares to send people here, so there can be no tricks. The news must be true. Your Majesty, our hasty response now will not be of any use. We must think of a way to deal with it."
Xiong Huai gradually calmed down.
Thinking carefully.
After a while, Xiong Huai said: "Prime Minister, Wang Qi sent envoys to negotiate, just to use the ancestors to coerce us, with the intention of getting benefits from the Chu State. Considering the safety of the ancestors, I am afraid that this time, it is true You will suffer a big loss."
On the Chu State side, Xiong Yuanxiang is needed.
No matter what the conditions are, Xiong Huai cannot refuse, and Xiong Yuanxiang must be exchanged.
Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I have the same view. When I go to the palace to ask for the order, in addition to reporting the affairs of my ancestors and confirming the matters for negotiation, the other thing is to ask your Majesty to send an order to the army stationed in the northern border of Xiangyang to prepare for defense. Prepare. Once the Zhou Dynasty gets the news, they may invade south, and we will counterattack then. As long as we are prepared, we will not panic."
Xiong Huai said: "Prime Minister, just make the arrangements."
Qu Ping said: "I obey!"
Xiong Huai leaned forward slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said: "Prime Minister, our country of Chu has been going smoothly and developing well in these years. This time, we suffered losses at the hands of Wang Qi one after another. First of all, I My son Xiong Tai was killed, and now my ancestors have also become prisoners. I really can¡¯t swallow this breath. How do you think I can take revenge?¡±
He is the emperor of a country.
Wang Qi is just a local king with a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty. Xiong Huai suffered such a big secret loss and it was really unbearable in his heart. So now, he was ready to take revenge.
Qu Ping also felt aggrieved in his heart.
This battle was painful.
Qu Ping thought for a while, a stern look flashed across his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to take revenge on Wang Qi, I have a way."
Xiong Huai said: "What can we do?"
Qu Ping said: "This time, we will go all out and order the soldiers in the northern border to guard against Zhao Lishi. Regardless of the domestic situation, we will mobilize the army, dispatch troops in a flash, and defeat Wang Qi's army in one go. This is the general direction. The specific arrangements will be When the negotiations are concluded and the ancestors are exchanged, we must make sure that we hand over the goods at the border."
"We stationed troops at the border early. Once our ancestors come back, we will launch an attack and storm Wang Qi's army, trying to kill them all in one go.?Destroy Wang Qi. "
Qu Ping said: "Even if there are Wuxi barbarians and other barbarians in the country causing rebellion, if we kill Wang Qi with lightning and then withdraw the army to stay in the country, we can still deter the situation."
After Xiong Huai heard this, he thought about it carefully and said, "This plan is feasible. Prime Minister, you can arrange it and prepare it first. Of course, whether to make any further adjustments will depend on the outcome of the subsequent negotiations. If everything goes as planned, If we anticipate it, then there is no need for us to adjust.¡±
Qu Ping said: "I understand."
After Qu Ping reported the matter, he stood up and said goodbye. After leaving the palace, he had just returned to his Prime Minister's Mansion. When he was preparing to work, an attendant came in and reported: "Prime Minister, Wang Qi's envoy is less than ten miles away from Nancheng. I estimate. We are about to arrive at Xiangyang City."
Qu Ping said: "You arrange for people to guard at the city gate. Once Wang Qi's envoys arrive, they will be brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"yes!"
The attendant turned around and left.
Qu Ping was sitting alone in his study, thinking about the current situation and how to deal with it.
He is actually a little irritable. Everything in Chu State is developing very well. Since Xiong Tai was killed, and now even Xiong Yuanxiang was captured alive, Chu State fell into a passive situation, and the situation suddenly became bad.
So much so that he, the prime minister, felt as if he was being roasted by fire all day long and felt very uncomfortable.
Time passes little by little.
As the afternoon approached evening, an attendant entered the study again and said: "Prime Minister, Wang Qi's envoy Yuan Cang has arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and is currently waiting in the hall."
"knew."
Qu Ping changed into a robe and went to the hall. He had already thought of some coping strategies before and knew what to do. As soon as Qu Ping came to the hall, he saw Yuan Cang standing in the hall.
Yuan Cang is eight feet long, dressed in white robe, handsome and handsome, with an elegant posture. As soon as he stood in the hall, he had an aura that stood out from the crowd and was extraordinary.
Qu Ping couldn¡¯t help but admire him in his heart.
What a Yuan Cang.
The land of the Central Plains is truly filled with natural treasures and outstanding people. Wang Qi himself is a powerful person. Unexpectedly, a randomly dispatched envoy was also so handsome and handsome. He was no ordinary person at first glance.
Qu Ping walked straight to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand and saying: "Mr. Yuan, please sit down."
Yuan Cang said calmly: "There is no need to sit down. I am here today to negotiate on the order of His Highness King Qi. I am not here to sit down and chat. I can just stand and talk."
Qu Ping frowned slightly, this man had a tricky mouth.
He means well.
The other party didn¡¯t appreciate it.
After all, Qu Ping is the prime minister of a country and has a good psychological quality. When he heard Yuan Cang's words, he just smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan is right. Since it is a negotiation, let's get back to business and talk about business. What will Wang Qi do? , are you willing to release Xiong Yuanxiang of Chu State, what are the specific conditions?¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
