Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 287

Zhou Chong's face was serious, and he talked eloquently, saying: "There are two kinds of people who seek the country, one is for fame, and the other is for profit. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Li Yuanxing steals the sky and replaces the sun with Huang Xie's son. If the people of the country are not attached, there is such a thing as the rebellion. If you ask the bottom line, it is your fault, and you will give Daqin a hundred cities. Could it be that Daqin sent troops to help you for these one hundred cities? So where is the justice? What is the heart of the people? Daqin absolutely cannot do such a thing. Please go back."

Before Ren Shangren left, Li Yuan gave him a death order. If he could not move the army of Qin State, he should not return to Chu State. He thought it was a simple matter, but he did not expect that Zhou Chong would hit the iron plate here, which made him really unexpected. , hurriedly argued: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood, my king is the flesh and blood of the former king, and everyone in the world knows why Mr. Zhou listened to the rebel's words without knowing it. Ren Shangren sighed for Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chong pretended to be surprised, and asked: "Really? The so-called groundless truth, if there is no real evidence, he would not dare to rebel. Could it be that he slanders people?" How does this sound? In retorting, he was actually pointing Ren Shangren to speak.

"Exactly." Sure enough, Ren Shangren followed Zhou Chong's words and said, "Mr. Zhou, a wise man should know what he will suffer from if he wants to commit a crime. Rebellion. He listened to Zhu Ying's nonsense and raised his troops to rebel. This is treason. Daqin has always upheld justice. Why didn't Mr. Zhou do justice for the heavens, but listened to words that were created out of nothing."

Zhou Chong looked ashamed, and said: "Mr. Ren's teaching is right, it's Zhou Chong, it's not Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong is here to apologize."

Finally made Zhou Chong believe his words, Ren Shangren relieved his heart, and said: "Mr. Zhou is serious."

"Accepting your request, it is very difficult for Daqin to send troops to assist in the war, but it may not be impossible if the strategy is well planned." Zhou Chong changed the subject and said: "I think it will be like this. After Daqin solves the problem of the Huns in the north, then we will be able to do so." There will be no problem if you send troops. You just wait, the time will not be too long, at most ten or eight years."

Nei Shiten and the others finally understood what Zhou Chong meant. He made such a big circle. In the final analysis, he was trying to stimulate Li Yuan's appetite, bargaining, and performing tricks realistically, so that Li Yuan and the others would not guard against him. After tidying up, I still don't know what the problem is, and I admire Zhou Chong in my heart.

Ren Shangren exclaimed in his heart, thinking how could he afford to wait for such a long time, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, how long will it take for the Great Qin to solve the problem of the Huns?"

Wang Jian knew that Zhou Chong could not be allowed to sing a one-man show alone, so he joined in the show, and the play would be realistic. He took over the conversation at the right time and said, "Your envoy knows that the Huns are fierce and good at fighting, and they have caused disasters for hundreds of years. Wei, it is estimated that it will take three to five years to win the land of Hetao, and then we have to prepare to deal with the counterattack of the Xiongnu. This battle will be fought again and again, and it is impossible to finish it in less than ten or twenty years."

It's good that he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, Ren Shangren's heart goes cold, ten or eight years is long enough, ten or twenty years is not enough for the day lily to be cold.

Ren Shangren made the last effort and said: "The Great Qin has a strong army, can't it be possible to send an army? One hundred thousand is fine. Qin and Chu have always had good relations, and there have been years of internal turmoil in Chu. Why, Daqin just had the heart to watch the state of Chu go into chaos? Where did Daqin put his love for marriage?"

Zhou Chong slapped the table hard, his face sank, and he shouted: "Your emissary's words are useless! Who said that Daqin ignores the affairs of Chu? Did your emissary forget that Wu Wang Helu attacked Chu and invaded Yingdu? The King of Chu fled, and there was no hope of restoring the country. Wasn’t it the Great Qin who sent troops to help the Chu Kingdom recover? If it hadn’t been for the Great Qin to send troops, Chu would have been gone long ago, and it was a territory of Wu. As a native of Chu, your envoy would have forgotten Did this matter? You are too forgetful."

At that time, Wu Yuan led the Wu army into Chu, but the state of Chu was ruined and it was difficult to support it. The king of Chu fled, Shen Baoxu went west to Qin, and asked the king of Qin to send troops.At that time, the State of Qin preferred to settle in the west, and had no intention of locating in the east, so the king of Qin naturally forbade it.Shen Baoxu was heartbroken, and cried for seven days and seven nights in the Qin court until he had no more tears. In the end, blood flowed from his eyes, which finally moved the then King Qin and sent 20 troops to help the recovery of Chu.

The old incident was brought up again, and Ren Shangren was reminded at once. His heart was broken, and he knelt down to Zhou Chong with a puff, and began to cry: "There is a civil turmoil in Chu, people are devastated, corpses are piled up like mountains, blood flows for thousands of miles, father weeps for son, son weeps for father Wife crying for her husband, it's unbearable to see, please show kindness to Mr. Zhou, please send troops to quell the chaos in Chu State." He touched his head to the ground, crying so sadly that anyone who saw it would be moved.

Zhou Chong secretly praised this person in his heart for not being slow in his response. He was expected to be an envoy. He pretended to be panicked, ran over to help him up with both hands, and said, "Your envoy, please get up quickly, please get up quickly. Your envoy is loyal. For the sake of Chu, it’s touching. Zhou Chong is a human being, not a piece of wood. His heart is made of flesh, so how can he be ruthless? Your envoy, please rest assured, Zhou Chong will definitely tell the king, and ask the king to be judged.”

"Thank you Mr. Zhou." Ren Shangren was finally relieved.

However, before he let go of his heart, Zhou Chong's next words made his heart ache again. What Zhou Chong said was: "Your envoy also knows the difficulties that Daqin is facing now. Daqin destroyed five countries at once. This land is It is a good thing to expand a lot, but these places are newly acquired, so we must send troops to garrison them. With provisions, food, weapons, salary, and fodder are all not in short supply.

"Aren't we all gathered here today to worry about this matter? Your majesty has ordered us to go north immediately, so we gathered together to discuss a solution. If Daqin wants to send troops to Chu, Zhou Chong will not worry about the soldiers, but worry about it." The most important thing is these supplies. All the supplies have been transferred to the north, so where are we going to raise them all at once?"

Nesten and the others yelled in their hearts, good things are coming.That's right, Ren Shangren thought for a while, and said: "The food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. Although my envoy has never fought a battle, he still knows this truth. Mr. Zhou is telling the truth. If the Daqin army does not have enough supplies, This is indeed a difficulty. Mr. Zhou, how about this, I will immediately report to the king, and the supplies of the Daqin army will be provided by Dachu."

This condition is definitely generous enough, but Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "That's not okay. In this way, people will not gossip, saying that the Great Qin army relied on supplies from Chu to fight. This has never happened in the history of Great Qin. This is too ugly, it’s miraculously embarrassing, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Besides, it’s not too late to raise supplies after you finish playing. Maybe, Xiang Yan has already wiped you out.” The greater the danger, the greater the benefit.

This is the truth, Ren Shangren hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then what should we do?"

Nesten stood up and gave him some advice: "Actually, this is very easy to handle, as long as you give us the warehouses along the way."

It is also possible for Qin Jun to take advantage of this opportunity to claim multiple branches, which will make it even more difficult for Dongchu, which is already difficult to support, Ren Shangren disagreed, saying: "That can't be done."

Nesten pointed at him and began to scold him, saying: "You haven't fought a war, you know what is wrong. On the battlefield, your soldiers are fast. If we don't have supplies, how can we fight this battle? We can't stop and wait for you Let’s fight after the supplies are delivered. If that’s the case, the opportunity to fight will be wasted, and this battle will be a fart. I have never fought such a bad battle in the Great Qin Army, so let’s not fight. Mr. Zhou, let him go back, don’t need to talk to a layman Grind your teeth, keep your saliva on your teeth. If you want to discuss matters, find another expert. Zhang Liang is good, you go and replace him. If I didn’t tell you, he will definitely agree to my proposal. Apart from this, what else do you have? good idea?"

Now Zhang Liang is a great spy, of course he would agree to Nei Shiten's proposal.However, this was not just said casually, it was also the truth, Ren Shangren gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's it."

Zhou Chong also meant the same thing. He didn’t expect Nei Shiteng to say it first, and he was very satisfied with Nei Shiteng’s involvement, and said: “Your envoy will go back and tell your king that as long as your warehouse is for us to use, Daqin's army will arrive at any time."

For Li Yuan, looking forward to the sending of troops by the Qin State is a matter of looking forward to the stars and the moon. Of course, the sooner the better, as long as he gets the news, it will be considered a success.

Ren Shangren was overjoyed, and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhou, thank you generals. My envoy will go back and report to the king now." He went happily.

Looking at Ren Shangren's back, Nei Shiten laughed, and said: "You idiot, the warehouse is ours to use. We don't need logistical supplies at all. We can fight wherever we want. A battle without logistical supplies, my Nei Shiten I haven't fought yet, this time I'm free to fight a good fight. But it's not Xichu, but you idiots."

"Yes! We have never fought this kind of battle." Everyone echoed in unison.

The joy of the crowd had not passed away, and the guards of Huben came in again, saying: "Mr. Zhou, the envoy of Western Chu is asking to see you."

The impatient Nesten blurted out, "What is he here for?"

Just after leaving an envoy from the Western Chu, the envoys from the Eastern Chu arrived again. This in itself is surprising enough. The scheming Wang Jian also didn't understand, so he said: "Yes. This is too coincidental, right? Another one came on the back foot, I, Wang Jian, have never encountered such a thing in my life."

"Zifang, you are so clever!" Wang Jian and the others were confused, but Zhou Chong was not. Zhou Chong's heart is like a mirror, this must be Zhang Liang's arrangement, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence, he praised Zhang Liang in his heart, and changed his mind , I thought it was time to make good use of the opportunity.
