Chapter 191 Envoy of Chu State
The next morning.
Bai Zhong went to court again, and not long after arriving at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng came and directly announced that he would be the envoy of Chu State.
"Informed by the envoys of Chu State."
Zhao Gao shouted.
After a while, a man less than thirty years old strode into the hall, bowed and said: "Jing Yu, meet the king!"
"Are you from the Jing family of Chu State?"
Ying Zheng asked calmly.
The four major families of Chu are Qu, Jing, Zhao and Xiang.
Jing Yu, who came from the Jing family, nodded and said: "Exactly, this is the letter of credence our king asked me to send. The king asks for peace and sincerely offers the land west of Qingyang and other places, and asks for the king's approval."
He held up a wooden slip with both hands.
Zhao Gao quickly took it and brought it to Ying Zheng.
After opening the wooden slip and reading it for a while, Ying Zheng asked: "I agree to the peace proposal, but do you really want me to send an envoy to Shouchun?"
Jing Yu said respectfully: "This is the intention of our king. Qin and Chu have been married and good friends for generations. Now our king allows me to come to Qin to express the sincerity of the Chu State. For the sake of future peace and the consideration of taking over Qingyang, I still want to return the favor."
Please, Your Majesty, send an envoy to Shouchun, and then go directly to take over Qingyang."
He said that, there was no problem.
King Chu's consideration seemed reasonable and reasonable.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Chu as an envoy."
Yao Jia said first.
As a diplomat of Da Qin, he often went to other countries as envoys, so he could personally take charge of this matter.
Ying Zheng said: "Shangqing is already old. Chu is located in the south, and the climate is different from Guanzhong. We are worried that Shangqing will not be able to adapt to the climate and the climate."
Regarding the matter of sending envoys, he said this, as if he agreed, and said: "Bai Qing!"
"I'm here."
Bai Zhong was thinking, should I be sent as an envoy to Chu?
What he was thinking was exactly what Ying Zheng wanted to do. He said, "How about you go to Chu State for me?"
"I accept your order!"
Bai Zhong had a hunch that the trip to Chu would not go smoothly, otherwise historically Li Xin would not have been asked to destroy Chu immediately after Wei was defeated.
Yao Jia was not allowed to serve as an envoy. Ying Zheng probably felt the same way and was worried that Yao Jia would not be able to deal with it, so he asked Bai Zhong to make this trip to see what the Chu State wanted to do. If the Chu State caused chaos
, then it would be completely justified and justified for Da Qin to invade Chu again.
Ying Zheng has enough trust in Bai Zhong.
He also knew that Bai Zhong was super strong, so even if there was real danger, leaving would not be a problem.
When others heard that Ying Zheng asked Bai Zhong to go on an envoy, they all wondered if there was any special meaning behind it.
Only Yao Jia can think of what Ying Zheng and Bai Zhong are currently thinking.
"good!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The envoys of Chu State can go down first."
Jing Yu bowed and walked out of the hall.
"Bai Qing, you go back with Jing Yu in two days."
Ying Zheng pondered for a while and then said: "Starting tomorrow, the Iron Eagle warriors will be drafted again. They will still be selected from the Lantian camp. The general and Meng Qing will assist in this matter."
"only!"
Bai Zhong and the other three responded.
Ying Zheng said again: "Okay, let's continue the discussion."
After finishing the affairs of the court, Ying Zheng asked Baizhong to stay.
"Bai Qing should understand my thoughts, right?"
Ying Zheng said first.
Bai Zhong guessed: "The king wants to find a good reason to destroy Chu, right? When we attacked Huaiyang, our reason was to destroy Wei and ensure the safety of the flanks and rear. Although the reason was far-fetched and even forced to explain,
It has already passed, and now if you are rashly launching a war to destroy your country, does your Majesty have any concerns?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The one who knows me is Bai Qing!"
"Our Qin Dynasty and the Three Jin Dynasties have never been friendly. This can be traced back to the Jin State. When Qin and Jin were at odds with each other, this was the reason for destroying the Three Jin Dynasties."
"The reason why Yan State was beaten to the point where it had to retreat to Liaodong was because Yan Dan wanted to kill everyone."
"Now that we are planning to destroy Chu, we must have a reason."
He indeed had a lot to consider, and continued: "This reason must be that the other party did something wrong, which caused the few to send troops to attack and destroy the country in the future. The civilians of Chu may rebel against Qin, and the Chu people will resent Qin even more. No
If it is conducive to the rule of a few people, then use this reason to put the blame on Xiong Fuchu and downplay the cruelty and injustice of a few people destroying the country. This can also be regarded as a way to appease the Chu people's hatred of Qin as much as possible.
This is what I do now to govern the land of Yan."
Bai Zhong felt that this had a certain effect, but it was difficult to discuss the specific effect. He said: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful."
"Your mission to the Chu State, I think it will not go well, and may even be dangerous."
Ying Zheng continued: "Other nobles in Chu have hated Qin for a long time. There must be some who oppose the peace proposal, especially the Qu family. Is Bai Qing afraid? If you don't want to go, I can replace him."
Bai Zhong shook his head and said: "I am not afraid of danger. If there is real danger, it will not be difficult for me to fight my way out of Shouchun and leave the Chu State. If the Chu State dares to do anything to me, it will just create a reason to send troops. For the sake of the Qin Dynasty
To unify, I am willing to face the danger."
"good!"
Ying Zheng said loudly: "I will arrange for the people from Heibingtai to arrive in Chu State in advance to provide convenience for Bai Qing. I will also give you five hundred elites to accompany you. I will wait for Bai Qing's triumphant return!"
Bai Zhongzuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you can also assemble the army in advance. If there is news, I will send someone back as soon as possible and send troops to attack Shouchun at any time."
This matter was confirmed by them.
In the whole incident, Baizhong understood what role he played, which was to act as a bait to lure Chu State to take the bait and create reasons for Qin State to send troops.
There is definitely danger, but Bai Zhong doesn't care.
As he said, there is no problem in killing him.
——
the next day.
Outside Lantian Camp.
The supplementary Iron Eagle Rui warrior extraction has officially begun.
This event was planned by Gengwu and the others, and Bai Zhong was not involved. It didn't matter what they did, as long as nothing happened, it would be enough, and nothing would happen.
Arriving outside the camp, Bai Zhong saw Wang Jian and Meng Wu both there.
"I met two generals."
Bai Zhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come earlier than me."
Meng Wu smiled and said: "If General Bai comes a little later, the extraction will begin."
Wang Jian echoed: "Can we start now?"
"Follow the general's orders!"
Bai Zhong Gongshou Tao.
Then, Wang Jian announced that the extraction had begun.
The army from Lantian Camp set off to the west in a mighty manner.
The second extraction was also very simple, because there was Bai Zhong who could copy the first time, and Gengwu and the others did not have much pressure.
Wang Jian said: "General Bai, going to Chu as an envoy should not be that simple, right?"
After returning, they also figured out some of the king's thoughts.
Bai Zhong nodded and said: "It's not that simple. The king has never said whether I can tell you the details. I don't dare to talk nonsense. Please forgive me!"
They can all understand that these are military secrets.
Meng Wu said: "There is definitely a danger. I am worried that General Bai will not be able to deal with it alone. I will ask the king later to let Meng Tian go with you so that we can take care of each other."
Not only can he help Bai Zhong, but he can also let Meng Tian follow him and gain some credit.
"Wang Li can do it too."
