Chapter 14 Song Yi's Conspiracy
When Mi Xin arrived, Tian Xian hurriedly put down his tea cup, stood up and looked outside the hall. He saw a servant walking quickly into the side hall surrounded by Tian Xian. Soon, Mi Xin came to Tian Xian and said with a bright smile: "You must be the envoy of Qi,"
"That's right." Tian Xian bowed back respectfully. At this time, Mi Xin quickly walked to her chair and sat down. She pointed to the soft seat beside her and said, "You can sit down too,"
After saying thank you, Tian Xian sat down at the seat where he had just tasted tea. A cup of hot tea was still steaming. Tian Xian picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I came here this time to represent my king. His Royal Highness the King of Chu expresses his deep greetings and hopes that Qi and Chu can be more united and establish a solid alliance to make the Qin army invulnerable,"
"You and I are both in the land of Shandong, so we should take care of each other. Besides, Zhang Han's army of 400,000 men is eyeing the land of Shandong. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of the country's destruction. Therefore, please pay my regards to your king again and again. "To show my respect," Mi Xin said it perfectly, and Tian Xian couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Tian Xian looked around and said slightly surprised: "Why don't you see General Song Yi?"
"Song Yi," Mi Xin couldn't help asking. Tian Xian saw that Mi Xin was a little confused and couldn't help laughing: "At the end of autumn last year, I was ordered to go to your country as an envoy. I met General Song Yi halfway. He once advised me not to rush. Rushing to the Chu camp to avoid being involved, I was so surprised that I had to stay on the road for a few days. Sure enough, within three days, news of the Chu army's defeat came. On the one hand, I came here to be an envoy. Your country, on the other hand, I would like to thank General Song Yi properly,"
Mi Xin was surprised after hearing this, but she didn't show it on her face. She cupped her hands and smiled back, "General Song Yi hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
After saying that, Mi Xin stood up and said with a smile: "I have prepared a glass of wine. Let's chat while eating."
At night, after Mi Xin ordered people to send Tian Xian away, she hurried back to the imperial study. The hall was extremely quiet. Mi Xin could calm down here and think about some things.
Mi Xin had heard a little about Song Yi mentioned by Tian Xian. He was a counselor under Xiang Liang and had a high reputation in the army. However, when Xiang Liang was defeated and many people died on the battlefield, Mi Xin did not Pay attention to this person, and after listening to Tian Xian mention it today, I learned that Song Yi was once ordered to go to Qi as an envoy and has not returned yet. Mi Xin had a vague feeling that this Song Yi was not simple.
What's more, the Chu army was not defeated, and the prophet Song Yi's unique vision made Mi Xin secretly amazed. Thinking of this, Mi Xin looked outside the palace and shouted loudly: "Here comes,"
A chamberlain hurriedly walked in. Mi Xin thought for a moment and ordered: "Notify General Wang immediately and ask him to wait for me to find Song Yi's whereabouts. The sooner the better,"
,,,,,,
Two days later, the scouts sent back the news about Song Yi. It turned out that Song Yi fell ill on his way to visit Qi State. His condition was serious and he almost died. Later, Song Yi sought help from a miracle doctor to cure him. After visiting Qi State, Song Yi Yi led his troops back in a hurry. At this time, they were already on their way back.
Today, Mi Xin is in a good mood. He really wants to meet Song Yi. Song Yi should be able to rush back to Pengcheng in one day. But before meeting Song Yi, Mi Xin decided to meet Xiang Zhuang first. Since that day, Chen Ying After mentioning Xiang Zhuang in front of herself, Mi Xin always kept it in her mind and even wrote down the meeting with Xiang Zhuang on a bamboo slip to remind herself.
At this time, Mi Xin was sitting on a soft mat, sipping tea, and a chamberlain walked in slowly. Xiang Zhuang, dressed in a black robe, followed behind the chamberlain. Soon, Xiang Zhuang came forward, cupped his hands and said, "Xiang Zhuang, see the king."
When Mi Xin saw Xiang Zhuang coming, she smiled and waved her hand: "General Xiang, you're welcome. Please take a seat."
Xiang Zhuang sat down opposite Mi Xin. At this time, a palace maid brought a cup of tea and bowed to the two of them before leaving. After a short silence, Mi Xin smiled and said: "I heard that the Qin army has led its army north to attack Zhao. I don’t know what General Xiang thinks about this matter.”
"I don't know what the king is referring to," Xiang Zhuang did not answer directly, but asked another question. Mi Xin couldn't help being startled, and then he laughed loudly and said: "As for the war between Qin and Zhao, please tell me your opinion."
Xiang Zhuang nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "As far as I know so far, the Qin army has 400,000 troops, which is a formidable elite division, while the Zhao army, front and rear, only has more than 100,000 troops. In terms of military strength alone, it is impossible to The Qin army has many generals and is brave and invincible, so it should not be underestimated. Although the Zhao army has many famous generals, they are still slightly inferior to the Qin army. I think the Zhao army will definitely lose this battle."
"The analysis is very thorough..." Mi Xin said with a smile,
Soon, Mi Xin asked again: "Although the battle between Qin and Zhao is far away from Shandong and spans the Yellow River, if Zhao is defeated, the Qin army will have no worries, and Chu will probably also face a situation of monopolizing the Qin army. Regarding this, Xiang General Zhuang has a clever plan,"
Mi Xin finally brought the conversation to the main topic, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but smile happily and said: "If the king is worried, why not send a general to lead the army north to rescue Zhao Guocun, the Qin army will still be afraid of Qi and Chu, if Zhao Guocun If the Yan State is defeated, it will be difficult for the Yan State to survive alone, and it will inevitably be defeated. If the north of the Yellow River is pacified by the Qin Army, it will be difficult for the Qi and Chu armies to resist the Qin Army alone. In the end..."
Xiang Zhuang didn't say anything further, but Mi Xin had already guessed the final outcome. He couldn't help but nodded slightly. The two understood each other and neither of them said anything.
Xiang Zhuang's answer reflected Mi Xin's worries. At this time, he nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but smile: "If I order the general to go north, the general may have a plan to defeat Qin."
"I recommend one person to defeat Qin's 400,000-strong army, so there is no need to raise an army and mobilize a large number of people." Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing happily when he saw that Mi Xin had the intention to go north.
Mi Xin couldn't help but laughed when she saw Xiang Zhuang's vows, "Please come and listen to me, sir."
"My brother Xiang Yu has an army of 100,000. He can defeat the Qin army and capture Zhang Han alive," Xiang Zhuang replied, cupping his hands.
When Mi Xin heard the word "Xiang Yu", she couldn't help but shook her head secretly. After all, Xiang Zhuang was a member of the Xiang family. His first consideration was still Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu was someone Mi Xin was extremely afraid of. He would not agree to it no matter what. Xiang Yu led the troops, and just when Mi Xin was hesitating, a chamberlain walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Song Yi is back and is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Hearing Song Yi's name, Mi Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed. He arrived in Pengcheng one day earlier than expected. At this time, with Song Yi's excuse, Mi Xin was able to leave Xiangzhuang. She stood up and said with a smile: "Please come in quickly, Song Yi. "
Xiang Zhuang recommended Xiang Yu because he just wanted to test Mi Xin to see how deeply he feared the Xiang family. If Mi Xin was willing to appoint Xiang Yu or declined himself, Xiang Zhuang still had a case in his mind that could help Mi Xin and eliminate Zhang Han. However, Mi Xin's behavior disappointed Xiang Zhuang to the extreme. At this time, Song Yi asked to see him, but Xiang Zhuang couldn't stay in the palace, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to leave first."
Mi Xin did not hold back, nodded, and said with a smile: "You can go back first, I will let you think about the matter of the northern aid."
Xiang Zhuang retreated, and Mi Xin sat back in his seat. He was extremely unhappy. He originally wanted to use Xiang Zhuang to lead troops and go north to reinforce Zhao, but at this time, Xiang Zhuang recommended Xiang Yu. If Xiang Yu could be used, Why should she take away Xiang Yu's military power? Thinking of this, Mi Xin couldn't help but pick up the teacup and threw it to the ground angrily with a crisp sound.
At this time, rapid footsteps sounded in the hall. This was Song Yi coming.
A palace maid hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the ground. Song Yi walked into the hall at this time, came to Mi Xin, cupped her hands and said, "I have met the king, Song Yi."
"Song Yi, you are on a mission to the State of Qi this time, why are you so late in returning?" Mi Xin pretended to be angry and scolded Song Yi, but Song Yi remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, I am on a mission to the State of Qi this time." , so that the two countries can join hands to fight against Qin, and stay in Qi for a while, and also to better persuade the King of Qi to form an alliance with Chu, I ask your Majesty to take a closer look,"
Seeing that Song Yi answered appropriately, Mi Xin couldn't help but smile and said: "When you left Chu Camp, you did so with selfish motives, right?"
After Mi Xin revealed this, Song Yi did not hide it and said: "The Chu army was arrogant and drank and sang loudly. The Qin army increased its troops day and night, but General Xiang Liang did not take precautions. In the end, the Qin army attacked the camp at night, and the Chu army fled in a great rout. , I have already decided on the defeat of this battle, but because of my humble position, I cannot persuade General Xiang Liang, please forgive me, Your Majesty," |
"The fact that you were able to escape unscathed shows that you are very capable and no one will punish you," Mi Xin laughed heartily. He had a good impression of Song Yi. At this time, Mi Xin thought for a moment and sighed: "Qin Jun Have you heard about going north?"
"I've heard a little about it. On the way back, I heard that the Qin army sent 400,000 troops across the river to the north to march towards Xindu. The purpose is probably to conquer Zhao State," Song Yi replied, cupping his hands. Xin Xin nodded, Song Yi knew this, and he could save a lot of words. At this time, Mi Xin turned his gaze to the north. Although the north of the hall was just a wall, Mi Xin seemed to see thousands of horses and thousands of troops fighting in Zhao. He couldn't help but sigh. He said: "What do you think of this, sir?"
"I think we should wait and see what happens," Song Yi's answer surprised Mi Xin. He thought for a moment and asked, "Shouldn't we go north for reinforcements?"
"Your Majesty, reinforcements to Zhao are inevitable. However, we do not blindly join the war, but wait and see what happens."
"Why are you all waiting to see what happens?" Mi Xin also became interested and couldn't help but ask a question. Song Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "We can divide our troops into two groups and go straight to the pass. The king can choose a loyal elder. Don't kill recklessly, don't be arrogant, don't underestimate the enemy, appease the people along the way, win the hearts of the people, insert it directly into the pass, sharp as a sharp sword, go straight to the capital of Qin, and cross the river with soldiers and horses on the other side, but don't join the battle, you can wait and see what happens. , Even if the Qin army wins, it will still be a tired army. Our army can work hard to defeat it. If the Zhao army wins, our army can advance westward along the river and directly take Guanzhong. There is no need to worry about the Qin Kingdom not being destroyed."
Song Yi's strategy was cunning and changeable. Mi Xin couldn't help but praise, "Qing's strategy is indeed extraordinary. I have chosen to march westward in the past few days."

In the early morning, Tian Xian entered the palace to say goodbye. Mi Xin asked Tian Xian to greet the King of Qi for her, and told the King of Qi that the two countries would be reconciled and depend on each other. Tian Xian wrote them down one by one.
