Chapter 249: Jiuzhou Ding, Heshi Bi
Chu State, Shouchun.
King Fu Chu of Chu was in the palace and summoned Ling Yin Ren Ni.
During this period, the King of Chu was in high spirits. With the help of the allied forces, Chu not only recovered the cities and lands previously occupied by Qin, but also took the opportunity to extend its tentacles into the old land of Han.
He estimated that he was the first king of Chu to expand its territory in the past hundred years.
Enough to go down in history.
With the help of the power of this battle, all the forces within the State of Chu, both large and small, that had originally opposed King Fu Chu, instantly calmed down and chose to support the King of Chu, thus consolidating the throne in one fell swoop.
Amidst the celebration, the King of Chu also had something worrying him.
That is the State of Yue.
Among the four countries of Qi, Chu, Yan and Wei, Qi and Yan were "going in opposite directions" from Yue. Although they were somewhat wary of Yue's rapid rise, they did not feel any substantial threat from Yue.
There is no tangible pain.
The severely damaged Wei State was already satisfied to be able to repel the Qin State in one fell swoop and take the opportunity to recover the land occupied by the Qin State, and had no time to think too much for the time being.
Only the State of Chu believed that it was strong enough.
In history, Qin's conquest of Chu was full of twists and turns. Afterwards, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 and adopted a protracted war tactic to finally defeat the State of Chu.
It's just like the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
When the decline of Qin was already inevitable, the already somewhat conceited King Fu Chu of Chu secretly regarded Chu as the most powerful country in the world during the Warring States Period, and was even secretly planning to dominate the world.
As expected, victory got to my head...
Secondly, the State of Chu bordered the State of Yue, and the two countries had territorial disputes.
Although Yue State Prime Minister Jia Xu had previously clarified the "misunderstanding", the King of Chu was still skeptical. Who knew whether Yue State would go back on its word after the alliance ended.
There is always a knot in my heart.
The strong rise of Yue State, especially its forceful annexation of Qin State, made Chu State feel like a thorn in its back and a fishbone in its throat.
It's extremely uncomfortable.
Once Yue State absorbed Qin's old territory, gained a firm foothold and greatly increased its strength, Yue State would certainly not give up given its "aggressive" style, and would most likely target Chu State in the next step.
recent,
The King of Chu couldn't even sleep well and suffered from insomnia all night long.
Ling Yin Ren Ni seemed to have seen through the King of Chu's thoughts. He turned his eyes and said leisurely, "Your Majesty, in order to attack and destroy Qin, Yue State has mobilized all its troops and marched north. There is not a single soldier left in the land of Baiyue..."
"What do you want to say?" The King of Chu looked deep.
Ren Ni: "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to send troops to Baiyue and raid the Yue Kingdom's stronghold?"
"Are you crazy?"
The King of Chu stood up in an instant and said, "The army of Yue is as fierce as that of wolves and tigers. The King of Yue will take revenge for any slight. We can't even avoid them, but now we are thinking of provoking them. Isn't that courting death?
"Even if we can gain temporary benefits, what should we do when Yue stabilizes Qin's old territory and has time to spare?"
The King of Chu was really scared.
Ling Yin Ren Ni was neither anxious nor slow, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Yue army are all barbarians. Once they know that Baiyue has been attacked and their families are in danger, they will definitely clamor to return to rescue them."
"so what?"
The King of Chu looked at Ren Ni as if he was a fool. "Once the Yue army returns to rescue us, what can we do to resist? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? And it would only bring us trouble."
"The key is that the Yue army cannot leave Qin at present."
Ren Ni was unmoved. "The Qin people are not so easy to tame. There are local garrisons causing chaos inside, and Wang Jian's army is eyeing them covetously outside. Once Yue returns to rescue, Qin will definitely be unstable."
Being able to become the prime minister, Ren Ni is definitely not a fool and he has something up his sleeve.
At least he had a very accurate grasp of the situation.
Ren Ni continued, "If Your Majesty can get in touch with Wang Jian's army and support each other, then the Kingdom of Yue will face the same situation as the Qin State now, unable to move forward or backward. The Kingdom of Yue will either give up the Baiyue or give up the old land of Qin. Your Majesty, which side will the King of Yue give up?"
"Give up Baiyue?"
The King of Chu finally came to his senses and felt a little excited.
If he were to choose,
They would also choose the old land of Qin rather than the barren and desolate Baiyue.
"That's right." Ren Ni nodded with a smile, "When the time comes, Your Majesty will unite Qi, Yan, and Wei to put pressure on Yue. If Yue doesn't want to be an enemy of the world, it can only choose to bow its head."
If given the opportunity, Qi, Yan and Wei would naturally not mind sanctioning the State of Yue.
"Will this... work?"
King Fu Chu of Chu still had some doubts, after all, this was a serious matter.
"Whether it will work or not, Your Majesty might as well send someone to contact Wang Jian first. After finding out Wang Jian's attitude, it will not be too late to make plans." Ren Ni said.
"Okay, let's do it."
The King of Chu thought so too, and thought that there would be no harm in giving it a try.
As the saying goes, one should not allow others to sleep beside one's bed. With such a restless and powerful neighbor like Yue, Chu is doomed to have a restless future. It is better to make plans early.
Striking first may not be a bad idea.
It's better than waiting to die.
…
Xianyang, Royal Palace.
After finishing his practical affairs, Qin Mo hurried back to Xianyang to take charge.
Zhou Shihong was indeed very efficient. He said it would take three days, but on the second day of their conversation, players began to walk out of the teleportation array outside Xianyang and report to Qin Mo.
Among them is Chu Jian, who has been studying war patterns in the Shanhai tribe.
After not seeing each other for many years, Chu Jian's cultivation has improved further and he has entered the Nascent Soul stage. If placed in the Zhu Xian subcontinent, he would be considered a leader among the younger generation.
Even in the Warring States subcontinent, he could be qualified to be a county lieutenant.
Yuanying period,
This can basically be regarded as the first big hurdle that players will encounter. More than 90% of people will spend their entire lives in this realm, and only a few can advance to the stage of becoming a god.
Even Wei Tianli, who had been making great progress before, is still stuck at this level .
No progress at all.
In fact, according to the normal speed of cultivation, Chu Jian, Wei Tianli and others advanced from outsiders to Nascent Soul powerhouses in just over ten years.
It's already incredible.
Let me ask you, which normal cultivator would not spend more than sixty years to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?
In the final analysis,
It’s all thanks to “Honghuang”.
It just seems slow compared to Qin Mo's monstrous cultivation speed.
Living in the same era with a "peerless genius" like Qin Mo is also the tragedy of geniuses like Chu Jian. All their dazzling brilliance is obscured by Qin Mo's huge shadow.
Seems ordinary.
When Wei Tianli, Li Feng and others saw Qin Mo again, they were all polite to him. There was no trace of their previous familiarity, and they unconsciously lowered their status.
Between each other,
Whether it is the realm of cultivation or personal status, the gap between them has widened too much.
Li Feng, who was so arrogant before, now only dared to regard himself as a junior in front of Qin Mo. In terms of wealth, connections, and cultivation, he was inferior to Qin Mo.
As for appearance, there is a huge difference.
Wei Tianli was a little embarrassed. If he had known Qin Mo was so sensitive, he should not have taken sides in the first place, resulting in the loss of many good opportunities.
I regret it just thinking about it.
In addition to the people from the cultivation family, Qin Mo also met Zhao Liuyun who had followed him in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, and Du Shihao, Chu Zhongliu, Wu Kui and others who had fought against him.
See you again,
Things and people have changed a lot.
People like Du Shihao, let alone going against Qin Mo, would feel honored to have a chat with Qin Mo, to be recognized by Qin Mo after meeting him, and to hear Qin Mo say "It's you".
In addition, many of the previous disciples of the Demon Sect were Qin Mo’s acquaintances.
really,
Truly outstanding people will never stop moving forward. Although they are insignificant in front of Qin Mo, they still firmly occupy the first camp among players.
Only after the sand is washed away by the waves can the real gold be revealed.
After meeting, these players were sent out by Qin Mo to join the army in the expedition.
As for Qin Mo himself,
He still stayed in Xianyang and intimidated those villains.
At present, in Xianyang, there are not only a large number of people who appear to have surrendered, but also Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei and other guest officials from the State of Qin. Although they seem to be calm and composed, who knows what they are thinking inside.
Fortunately, Qin Mo's reputation has been established, and as long as he is there , Xianyang will not be in chaos.
This is also why,
The reason why Qin Mo killed Wei Liao with a single sword was to make an example of him.
The Qin people are a tough bunch.
Very stubborn.
…
In the imperial study, Qin Mo was playing with a huge piece of jade.
But it is the famous He Shi Bi.
The He's Bi was originally a national treasure of the Chu State, but later fell into the hands of the Qin State. Historically, Qin Shihuang carved the He's Bi into an imperial seal, which was passed down through generations.
In Qin Mo's eyes,
The imperial seal is a first-class treasure of fortune.
Now that King Zheng of Qin is dead and has been replaced by the State of Yue, Qin Mo is also preparing to follow suit and carve the He Shi Bi into a jade seal to see if he can take the opportunity to derive a magical weapon that will bring him luck.
In addition to the He Shi Bi, Qin Mo's greatest gain from the conquest of Xianyang was naturally the two Jiuzhou Dings placed in the Xianyang Palace.
One was owned by the Qin State, and the other was obtained after the Qin State destroyed Zhao.
In this way,
The State of Yue suddenly possessed three Nine Provinces Cauldrons.
The Jiuzhou Ding represents the fortune of the human race. The Kingdom of Yue obtained three of them at once , which means that the fortune of the Kingdom of Yue has greatly increased. The experience points and salaries of players serving in the Kingdom of Yue will also increase greatly.
It is three times that of other countries.
It is not difficult to understand why Wei Tianli and others would rather take risks and rush to Qin State to help Qin Mo clear out the guest mages from all over Qin State.
There is no such thing as friendship, it's all for profit.
In addition to the two treasures, the Jiuzhou Ding and the Heshi Bi, the Qin treasury, especially the inner treasury in the royal palace, naturally contained countless rare treasures.
Until now, the inventory has not been completed.
However, although there were many treasures, Qin Mo was extremely picky and it was difficult for him to find anything that caught his eye. However, he did find a few pieces of thousand-year-old ice silk and prepared to make a robe for himself.
That’s all in the past.
…
Just as Qin Mo was playing with the He's Bi, Wang Jian, who was at a loss at Hangu Pass thousands of miles away, unexpectedly met a secret envoy from the State of Chu.
Wang Jian was shocked to learn that Chu intended to check and balance Yue. He soon realized that
This may be the only hope for Qin to turn the tables.
I agreed immediately.
In the following period, the two sides sent envoys to each other, running back and forth to finalize the details of the operation.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.
