Chapter 178 Qin Qi, Chu Han and No War
Since Emperor Yi, many wars have returned without success. Kuaiji was owned by Chu. Only a wave of troops rushed to Hengshan, which was the Yan army led by Zangtu, who wanted to attack Hengshan.
Hu Hai in Xianyang City read the memorials from all over the country. The Chu and Han dynasties had basically ceased to fight, Xiang Yu had withdrawn his troops, and the soldiers of Zangtu had arrived in Xingyang, intending to march towards Hengshan.
The situation in Shouchun collapsed, and Sima Yin and ten thousand soldiers dared not stop and rushed towards Hengshan quickly. At this moment, the King of Hengshan Gong Ao was already dying, and Gongwei was at a loss while guarding the bedside.
In the Hengshan Palace, Sima Yin rushed back only five days ago. He changed into court clothes and did not dare to slack off at all. He rushed to the palace in a hurry. Sima Yin was nearly fifty years old, but he was full of energy. As for Gongao, he was a little ten years older than Sima Yin, and he was dying at this moment.
When the Gongwei was in the mansion, he heard that Sima Yin returned to the court and immediately greeted him. After the two of them bowed, Sima Yin asked in a panic: "When I left, the king was fine, why is this?"
"Xiangfu doesn't know anything. The day before yesterday, my father was shooting arrows in a single clothes the day, and suddenly it rained heavily. My father couldn't hide, so he got sick from the rain and had not healed for many days. It has suddenly become serious recently. I don't know what to do. I'll ask the general to take charge of the overall situation!" Gongwei said helplessly.
When Sima Yin heard this, he staggered towards the hall. Gong Ao's face turned pale and he lay flat on the bed. When he saw Sima Yin coming back, he felt a little more joy on his face.
"You are back. I have not had much time and there are still things to arrange. If you don't see you, why should you let go?" Gong Ao said in a low tone.
Sima Yin immediately knelt down and said, "I am from a humble background. Fortunately, I am promoted by the king. Even if I am a king, I have no regrets. I used to be a slave and a minister today. I dare not have any hope. I rely on the king's instructions."
Gong Ao on the couch immediately stood up, trying to help Sima Yin up. Fortunately, the attendants around him were quick-eyed and quick-handed, so they grabbed Gong Ao, and Sima Yin also stood up in front of him.
"The king is inconvenient, why is this so? The old minister just listened to it."
Gong Ao nodded slightly, "Your dear follow me from Linjiang to Hengshan, which is a temporary measure. Today, Hengshan is located in the southwest, Qin and Chu are in one place, and Han King Liu Bang are both powerful places. I do not ask you to expand your territory, but only ask you to protect us in the future. After you are young, you have no orphans inside and no generals outside, and you rely on your dear one. You hope to protect your younger generations. Hengshan is intertwined and the mountains and rivers are intertwined, and it is difficult to attack. I hope you will take this opportunity to cultivate many talents, so that they can defend each other and not have opportunities with other countries. This is the blessing of the king and the responsibility of the general."
Sima Yin cried and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, if you have a humble minister, you will never allow other countries to violate our borders. Even if you have a thousand miles away, you will be safe!"
Gong Ao on the bed heard this and sighed, "If you have your words, I will be worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Ao died. The reason why he could last for so many days was that Sima Yin had not returned to the court. Many things still needed to be explained. He was so angry that he finished talking about the matter. He suddenly felt relieved and could not get up.
Seeing this, Sima Yin immediately fell to the ground and cried. Gongwei also walked in from outside the hall. Seeing this scene, he also cried loudly. Gongao called on Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to rebel, establish Linjiang Kingdom, and establish Linjiang King. Later, he accepted the response from the King of Chu and enthroned the King of Linjiang. Later, due to the incident of Liu Bang, he moved to Hengshan and changed to Hengshan King. Although he was reckless, he was slightly proficient in military tactics. He had been protected by Sima Yin for more than two years, and he suddenly passed away.
The news of the death of King Gong Ao of Hengshan was immediately spread to all countries and they all came to mourn. When Hu Hai heard that Gong Ao was dead, he immediately ordered Zangtu to ask his troops to stay in Honggou and not to attack Hengshan for the time being.
In the Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai immediately summoned all the ministers, Chen Ping, Kuai Che, Luan Bu, Wang Ling, Fusu, and Meng Yi, to come one after another, thinking that something had happened in the palace.
When the ministers arrived, Hu Hai was still looking at the memorials from all over the country. Fusu first stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, it was noon, and there was no court meeting. Your Majesty summoned him. What's the matter?"
Hu Hai then put down the memorial, tidy up his clothes, and said loudly: "Hengshan has died together. What should we do? We first formed an alliance with Xiang Yu to protect Xingyang. Now Hengshan is between the Qin, Chu and Han dynasties. Should we take this opportunity to capture it?"
Fusu was quite surprised when he heard this, "Your Majesty, you must not, but you don't know that this is a mourning incident in Hengshan. We should send envoys to mourn. We should not send troops because of this, as we may lose the benevolence and righteousness of the world."
"Besides, Hengshan is located in the southwest and is located in a corner, with dangerous mountains and rivers and gullies. Sima Yin is guarding Hengshan. It is not a temporary force to capture Hengshan."
Hu Hai did not say anything, but looked at Chen Ping on the side, "Chen Aiqing is a powerful weapon of the country. I wonder what he wants to say this time?"
Chen Ping was a little stunned, then stepped forward and thought, "Report to Your Majesty, I feel that what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. Now that Hengshan is in trouble, it is easy to get mountains and rivers when it is in danger. However, how can the Han Dynasty sit and see without paying attention? Little do you know that Hengshan is the gateway of Jiujiang. If it is Hengshan, Jiujiang will lose its lips and teeth will be cold. I hope Your Majesty will think twice. Hengshan is the place where all countries are in the handover of various countries. The reason is the jurisdiction of Chu. If the troops are sent, the three kingdoms of Chu and Han will be unfavorable to us. Therefore, good strategies are needed to determine Hengshan."
"Since you are like this, you must have a clever plan." Hu Hai asked with a happy face.
Chen Ping was not vague and made a quick decision: "I hope Your Majesty will have a good relationship with the Han Dynasty. As for Hengshan, you can slowly plan."
Before Chen Ping could finish his words, Wang Ling walked out, "Report to Your Majesty, the King of Han is all of the people of all ancestral religions and unrighteous people. It is absolutely necessary to have friends with him. Besides, Li Sheng and Zhang Liang have great talents. Now that we have good friends, they naturally know the strategies of fighting far and near. I am afraid that the plan for the mainland will be good, and what should I do when I wait?"
"Far and close attacks are not available today." Hu Hai said with a sigh.
While the hall was silent, Kuai Che suddenly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, it is not possible to attack from afar. Qin and Jin are still viable. I heard that Liu Bang had a son Liu Fei, and the Qin and Qin could send a princess to marry. Since Qin and Jin are fond of us, we will send troops, so there is no reason to stop him. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Hu Hai nodded slightly, "I have heard of this. Liu Fei was thirty years old and was the eldest son of Liu Bangshu. It is absolutely impossible. However, Liu Bang has a wife, Lu, and a son named Liu Ying. He is now fourteen, and he can match him. The daughter of his elder brother is similar in age. I don't know that his elder brother wants to do this."
Fusu was beside him and was stunned in an instant, "Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate. My daughter is young and she is afraid that her mother will not want to marry her."
"Your Majesty also asks me to say frankly that Liu can treat such a marriageable princess well. If he causes trouble, he still needs to solve it."
