September in Yingdu is the best season of the year. The chrysanthemum exhibition that has just ended has left Yingdu with the fragrance of flowers. Various colors and varieties of chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Chrysanthemums, King Huai loved chrysanthemums, and the whole country of Chu started a trend of raising chrysanthemums, admiring chrysanthemums, and competing with chrysanthemums. If you could cultivate a good-looking chrysanthemum, it would be possible to become rich overnight in the Chu country. King Huai of Chu felt that now was the best time for Chu. He even felt that his prestige was very likely to be compared with that of the famous and famous kings among his ancestors. In September, the State of Chu had just experienced several great events. First, the marriage of Princess Shuyu, the most beloved daughter of King Huai. After being greatly hurt in the State of Yan, Shuyu returned to the State of Chu and spent several years raising her. It hurts my heart. Originally, King Chu Huai was planning to find a good son-in-law for his daughter in the country, but he didn't expect his daughter to already have a sweetheart, and this man was a high-ranking general of the powerful Han Dynasty. For King Huai of Chu, this was a double happiness, killing two birds with one stone. It not only fulfilled his daughter's wish, but also provided an additional communication bridge between Chu and Han. Naturally, he couldn't be more satisfied. The second happy event is the chrysanthemum exhibition that has just ended. Perhaps it is precisely because the Chu State has swept away its decline and gradually revealed its former glory of dominating the world. At this year's chrysanthemum exhibition, several plants appeared in succession that were only rumored. The king of Chu spent tens of thousands of dollars to keep the unique chrysanthemum in his palace. Now if I don't look at it a few times every day, I can't eat or sleep well. The third happy event was naturally that the Chu army advanced in the southern part of the Qin State. The 200,000 troops led by Qu Wan took advantage of the civil strife in Qin and swept across the southern part of the Qin State in just a few months. Now, except for the southern part of the country, Except for the central city of Sanchuan County, which is still resisting in the surrounding area, the rest of the land has been included in the territory of Chu State. That is dozens of cities and thousands of miles of territory. Eight hundred years of dynasty, five thousand miles of rivers and mountains, this was the capital of Chu that stood proudly among the heroes before the rise of Han. The territory of Chu State is almost the sum of the other six countries, and now, these five thousand miles of rivers and mountains will be changed to six thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Such achievements are based on the eight hundred years of Chu's history. When it comes to opening up territories, King Huai of Chu felt that he would not lose to those talented and strategic monarchs. This is the land stolen from the powerful Qin for nearly a hundred years. Only Qin has always robbed others. How could other countries get any benefits from strengthening Qin? But I did it myself. "My talents are indeed mediocre, but I have one advantage: I know how to employ people, I dare to employ them, and I do not doubt them!" King Huai of Chu was complacent, Huang Xie, Qu Zhong, and Qu Zhong were both civil and military. It was their full help that led to the current situation of Chu State. Although the two controlled the government. The people of Chu only know the chief lieutenant but not the king. But after a thousand years, who will not know the achievements of his great king? Han and Qin now hate each other, and Qin is currently in civil strife. I believe Han will not miss this opportunity. Chu has taken the southern part of Qin, and is now satisfied and waiting for the outcome of the struggle between Qin and Han, or Chu The army can also get some other benefits from the competition between these two powers. As for Han, well. It has to be said that the national strength of Han may not be as good as that of Chu at present, but its military strength is far superior. Now it is time to consider getting along with Han. The intention of the chief assistant and the Taiwei is to try their best to establish a good relationship with the Han State and do everything possible to delay the possible conflict between the two countries. The Chu State needs to be stronger. King Huai of Chu stretched himself, state affairs are really troublesome, these things. Let's leave it to Huang Shoufu and Qu Taiwei to consider. They are still young and can at least work for themselves for ten to twenty years. It's better not to worry about it. "Come here, prepare some wine and put it in the chrysanthemum hall. I'm going to enjoy the flowers and drink." King Huai of Chu happily ordered his servants. While King Huai of Chu was happily drinking and having fun, two of his important ministers, one civil and one military, were gathered in the official hall. The military report sent back from the south was naturally the first focus of their attention. "Sanchuan County has been captured." Qu Zhong happily picked up a military report and walked to Huang Xie, "Chief Assistant, Qu Wan has captured Sanchuan County. Qin General Tan Wei only led a few hundred people. After escaping from the city and fighting the siege, the war in the south is basically over. " Huang Xie smiled: "Qin Guoxuanyi's guards have chased Zhou Yu to the south. I'm afraid there is still a battle to be fought. "What's going on with Zhou Yu?" "I have to ask General Zhao about this." Qu Zhong smiled and looked back at the leader of Chu's secret army. When the war was about to start, Huang Xie proposed to set up a joint office in order to speed up work efficiency. These big bosses gathered together to work so that the things that should be handled could be completed as soon as possible to avoid delays. This seems to be It was a small proposal, but it allowed the Chu State bureaucracy to improve its efficiency. "This is Lu Chao's method. Poor Zhou Yu was completely used by Lu Chao." Zhao ShuHe smiled and opened a ghost report, and suddenly let out a sigh: "Damn it, these bastards, they don't distinguish between serious and serious, and they don't pick out such information." "What's the matter?" Qu Zhong asked Dao, the information Zhao Shucheng is talking about now only concerns one thing, and that is Qin's southern war. "Two adults, it was sent by Guiying's spies in the south. Zhou Yu was forced to escape by Lu Chao. After he was also lost in Sanchuan County, he sent a message to General Qu Wan through Guiying's spies to defect to our Chu state. The secret message from the country, the ghost sent the secret message to General Qu and sent a copy to Yingdu," Zhao Shucheng said. "Zhou Yu wants to surrender to us?" Qu Zhong asked in disbelief, snatching the information from Zhao Shucheng's hands and browsing it hastily, "Zhou Yu's subordinates are all the southern frontier troops of the Qin Army, and they are the same as our great Chu." Even if Zhou Yu is squeezed out by Lu Chao, the soldiers of the Qin army are willing to follow him to surrender to Chu? Lieutenant, please don¡¯t forget that the former leader of the Southern Frontier Army was Meng Tian, ??and Meng Tian¡¯s unexplained death has already made the Southern Frontier Army generals feel resentful. Ying Ying also dismantled the 200,000 Southern Frontier Army into seventy pieces. Baluo, where are many of the former generals of the Southern Army now? Coupled with Lu Chao's usurpation of power, there is a great possibility that these people will break out due to old and new hatreds, and they will no longer be driven by Lu Chao. " "It makes sense. , but this matter is no small matter. Shu Cheng, you have marked the locations of Zhou Yu¡¯s troops and Xuanyi Guards on the map, as well as the current location of our main force. We still have to be careful about this matter. Verify that if Zhou Yu really surrenders to our army, we can take advantage of this east wind to get rid of the Xuanyi guard and solve the problem in the south in one fell swoop." Qu Zhong took a deep breath. "It's really excellent." Huang Xie clapped his hands and said happily: "If Zhou Yu's troops surrender to our country and then deal with the Xuanyi Guards, a very elite unit of the Qin State, the vitality of the Qin State will be seriously damaged, and we will fight in the next step. Qin will have an absolute advantage in the negotiations. " "Sir, we have won a great victory. Why don't we take the opportunity to deal with Qin hard and kill him before he can recover? That's the right thing to do." Zhao Shucheng said with a smile while flipping through the information about Zhou Yu's Department and Xuanyi Guard's Department. "That's not possible." Huang Xie laughed, "We are already satisfied with the southern part of the Qin State, but we cannot really defeat the Qin State. If we continue to advance after taking the southern part, the Han people will inevitably start to attack the Qin State. If the Qin State is really destroyed, there will definitely be a confrontation between Chu and Han. What good will this do to us? "Develop calmly." "Now the Han people have captured Qin's Yingchuan and Wulong and are attacking Tai'an. Although Tan Feng has lost Yingchuan, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers in Tai'an and is strong enough to support him for a while. No problem. When our side is over, if the negotiations with Qin go well, Qu Wan's 200,000 troops can still help Qin regain Yingchuan. Wulong will form an alliance again and teach them a lesson! The arrogant Han people are the best." Qu Zhong chuckled. "We need to let the people of Qin understand that we only want to take the southern land of Qin and are not interested in destroying Qin. The Han people are different. Gao Yuan wants to dominate the world and destroy Qin and Chu. Lu Chao is not the same Idiot, of course you know this truth. As long as Lu Chao is willing to pay the price to form an alliance with us, even if he deposes the King of Qin and becomes independent, we Chu people will support him." Huang Xie also laughed, "If everything goes according to our script, I will. When hundreds of thousands of troops beat back the Han army's outstretched claws, Gao Yuan's face must have been very exciting." The three of them laughed. "Report, urgent report of eight hundred miles of military information!" The shouts from outside interrupted the laughter of the three people. "It seems that there is another good news from Qu Wan." Zhao Shucheng smiled at the two big guys, one civil and one military. "That's right!" Huang Xie also said with a smile: "During this period, I feel a little numb after reading the victory reports." "Sir, Chief Assistant, Lord Taiwei, General Zhao, urgent report from Jiaocheng 800 miles away." The person from outside rushed in in a state of embarrassment, knelt down with a bang, and held out a bamboo tube with a secret message in his hands: "Urgent report from Jiaocheng, Qin General Tan Feng suddenly led tens of thousands of troops to march from Tai'an ten days ago. When we attacked Jiaocheng, our army was caught off guard. There were Qin people inside the city as internal countermeasures. Jiaocheng had been occupied by the Qin army. The order of Jiaocheng had to escape alone. Now Jiaocheng has fallen into the enemy's hands." The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly. , smiles solidified on the faces of the three. "What did you say? Tan Feng marched from Tai'an and occupied our Jiaocheng?" Qu Zhong grabbed the bamboo tube, used both hands to crush the bamboo tube with a snap, and took out the letter inside. ¡°???, Lord Taiwei, Qu Zhong led tens of thousands of troops, and countless young men, who have already occupied Jiaocheng.
