On the other hand, after the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han retreated from northern Han, Xiong Huai still held on to Fangcheng for three days, until it was confirmed that the army of the three kingdoms had withdrawn to Korea, and it was really a retreat, and then he went to Wancheng in regret and joy.

When he arrived in Wancheng, because the casualties in Hanbei County were too heavy, he needed to ask the people in person, and he needed to honor the rewards for the people, Xiong Huai stayed and did not continue to return to Yingdu.

However, the casualties and rewards of Hanbei County have not yet been counted, and the information of various countries has been transmitted to Wancheng first.

"Great King, news came from the Wei State, not long ago, the King of Wei received the news that the Wei army was defeated in Huaibei and the whole army was wiped out, and he vomited blood and died in terror. With the support of Wei Chen, the crown prince of Wei was officially enthroned as king. The first thing that Wei Wangjun did after ascending the throne was to discuss the relationship between Chu and Wei.

Nei Ying came to report that during the Wei court meeting, although many ministers were forced by the strong pressure of Chu and Zhao to hope that Wei Wang Yun could make peace with our Chu State, but, at the strong request of Wei Xiang Zhai Qiang and Gongsun Xi people, the King of Wei did not agree to the request of the ministers to send envoys to Chu to seek peace, but sent envoys to Qin and Qi to reaffirm the friendly relations between Qin, Qi and Wei, and tried to rely on the strength of Qin, Wei and Qi to continue to compete with our Chu State. ”

"Wei Xiangzhai Qiang, and Gongsun Xi..." Xiong Huai shook his head disapprerovingly at the bad news.

Zhai Qiang's brother Zhai Zhang died in the assassination of the Chu people, and Gongsun Xi was washed by the flood, and now his whereabouts are still unknown.

This is the reason why Wei is also unwilling to sue for peace with Chu at this moment?

No!

Maybe it's not just because of the dead Zhai Zhang and Gongsun Xi, but also because of the 150,000 people who lost in the Huaibei War, and even the 30,000 soldiers that Wei had accumulated with great difficulty a few years ago.

It is because so many people have died, so there are many people in the Wei State who are very hostile to the Chu State, so the King of Wei is out of the need to appease the people, so he is tough to go down?

However, why did the State of Wei, which had just suffered a great injury, go up with the State of Chu?

Qin Qi?

Hehe!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said with a face full of resentment: "It seems that because of the battle of Huaibei, the Wei people hate the widow very much, and even if their vitality is greatly damaged, they are not willing to come to Chu to seek peace."

However, the Wei people hate the Chu people, and the Chu people don't hate them, not to mention the creation of Chen Cheng, just talking about the injury of Fangcheng this time, my father and brother who died in the hands of the Wei people, compared to the 150,000 army in Huaibei, are definitely not as good as the 150,000 army, if they can, the widow will take this opportunity to teach the Wei State a hard lesson. “

Saying that, Xiong Huai shook his head again and sighed: "It's a pity, if it weren't for the fact that the widow didn't have an accident at this time, otherwise, the widow could now give an order to let the Zhu State stationed in Chen Di directly lead the army north along the chasm and go straight to the Wei State Liang not far away."

With the current situation of Wei, the main army was annihilated, and the remaining army was thousands of miles away because of the detour to Korea.

However, forget it, there are priorities, and the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and this time the king of Wei will be released. However, Zhai Qiang's position as Wei Xiang should still be changed. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai shook his head, then looked at Chen Zhen, who came to report the news, and said: "Chen Qing, the widow plans to depose Zhai Qiang's Wei Xiang, and ask Xianqing to immediately send someone to contact Wei Chen Lou Su and others to tell them that the widow supports the minister Lou Su to be Wei Xiang." ”

Chen Zhen responded with a smile: "Wang Yingming, it's time for this Wei Xiang's candidate to be changed." ”

After speaking, Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu also nodded with a smile, paused, and arched his hand again: "King, there was also news from the Prince Zhen of the Song Kingdom just now. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his spirits perked up, if it was said that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Qi were countries that needed a little effort to win over, then the two countries of Han and Song were countries that could be easily co-opted.

Prince Zhen took the initiative to send news at this time, it must be a change in the Song Kingdom.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately asked, "What news did Prince Zhen hear?" ”

"The king, the crown prince Zhen said that he has mastered the state affairs of the Song State, and sent an envoy, hoping to negotiate with the Chu State to return the land of Yingdong and Huaibei, and let the Chu and Song Dynasty make friends and reach a new alliance."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, he was still complaining that the prince was incompetent and couldn't stand up for himself. As a result, all of a sudden, Prince Zizhen actually told him that he had already taken care of the Song Kingdom.

This is not surprising to him, and it is not surprising that he is not surprised.

It's just a surprise and an accident, Xiong Huai still has some faint doubts.

"Xianqing, what happened to the Song State, why did all of a sudden, the crown prince take control of the state affairs of the Song State? Is it the crown prince who mutinied? Or is King Song also like King Wei, who died in terror? ”

Chen Zhen said with a smile: "King Mingjian, although it is not in the middle, it is not far away. According to the report of the Song State, after the king of Song received the news of the annihilation of the Song army, he was frightened and lay sick in bed, unable to govern. Therefore, the crown prince took over the power of the Song State as a matter of course, officially presided over the state affairs, and ordered the ministers. ”

Xiong Huai immediately showed a burst of laughter when he heard this, he had laid out the Song Kingdom for ten years, and today it was finally the day of harvest.

As for the truth of this matter, Xiong Huai did not doubt that even the sixty-year-old King of Wei vomited blood and died directly after hearing the news of the defeat of Huaibei, let alone the eighty-year-old King of Song?

King Song did not die on the spot, which is also his fate, and he has a strong psychological endurance.

However, for the Song King who was over eighty years old and still alive, Xiong Huai was full of dissatisfaction and even resentment.

"Confucius said: Old and immortal is called a thief, the old thief of the Song Dynasty killed the king and killed his brother, even his son abandoned him, his grandson resented him, he had no virtue and no deeds to this extent, and he could live to eighty, which is really heaven's eyes. Now it's okay, the old thief is sick this time, and it should be that God is going to take him in. If God doesn't accept him again, it is really unreasonable. ”

“···” As soon as Chen Zhen heard the words of the King of Chu's resentment and curse, he was immediately dumbfounded, the King of Chu could curse and insult the King of Song without any scruples, but he, as a courtier, could not be echoed.

After all... The king of Chu is not young anymore.

On the other side, Xiong Huai continued to spray the King of Song for a moment, and then spoke: "Xianqing, reply to Prince Zhen, let him send envoys to Yingdong and Huaibei's territory, and the widow is willing to negotiate with him to settle peacefully, and is willing to form an alliance with the Song State, so that the two countries of Chu and Song can be reconciled." ”

As soon as Xiong Huai's voice fell, Chen Zhen didn't have time to respond, at this time, the commander of Hanbei County walked in quickly, and reported with surprise on his face: "The king, the Korean minister Han Wei is visiting, and he is asking to see him outside the mansion at this moment." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy.

Han Wei is a party of his uncle, and he is also close to the Chu State.

Now the South Korean army has not returned to the capital, but Han Wei has already arrived in Wancheng, obviously, this Han Wei is coming to sue for peace on behalf of South Korea.

The succession of these two events obviously means that the previous unfavorable diplomatic situation of the Chu State has been greatly alleviated, and it can even be said that it has been reversed.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai responded with joy on his face: "Chuan, immediately let the Korean envoy come to see the widow." ”

"Yui."

Soon, in the hall, Han Wei said with a very respectful attitude: "King, the widow received the congratulatory gift from the king before, and he was very happy in his heart, thinking that the king was not angry with the widow because the widow was coerced by Qin and Zhao.

When the widow received the king's gift, he intended to come to Chu to thank the king in person, but because of the countries and the fact that there were still some contradictions between Chu and Han, he could not make the trip.

Because, the widow has been blaming himself in his heart these days, thinking that he has failed the king's love.

If there is a little peace today, and the previous discord between Korea and Chu has been eliminated, there is no hindrance to the widow's desire to thank the king in person.

Therefore, the widow sent a minister to the state of Chu, hoping to express his gratitude to the king in person, and offer his little heart to the king, and also hope that the king can allow the widow to enter Chu.

If so, it is a blessing for both countries. ”

As soon as Han Wei's words fell, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State in the hall all showed shocked expressions.

They thought that Han Wei came to seek peace, but they didn't want to, Han Wei came to Chu this time, not only to seek peace, but also to pave the way for King Han to enter the dynasty.

This...

King Han wants to enter the court!

Can you still refuse this kind of thing that gives your country a long face?

Xiong Huai immediately nodded and said: "Good and good, if the king of Han is not stingy in person, the widow will not be stingy to greet him, and the relationship between the widow and the king of Han is not comparable to the idle monarch." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai promised Han Wei: "Please reply to King Han, King Han is coming, and the widow will go out of the city for a hundred miles to greet him!" ”
