Chapter 248 Chu People Return to Pengcheng

2Chapter 17: The people of Chu returned to Pengcheng

The news of Chu's restoration soon spread throughout the world, and Zhao Qi, Wei and the Three Kingdoms, who were fighting fiercely, responded accordingly.

Zhao Guo was very happy when he learned that Zhang Di took away the [-] Eastern Chu soldiers stationed in Ban County and returned to Pengcheng to restore Chu State, because hope not only greatly reduced the strength of the Qi army, but also made the Qi State The rear was also unstable, so at the suggestion of Zhao Xin, King Zhao immediately sent envoys to Pengcheng secretly, hoping to win over Chu State, so that Chu State could attack Qi Wei's rear and contain some of Qi Wei's troops. The State of Wei also sent people here, the purpose is to pull the State of Chu into the chariot and fight against the State of Zhao together, and in order to show sincerity, he is willing to return Lu County to the State of Chu, which is very sincere.

On the contrary, the mood of Qi State is a bit complicated. On the one hand, Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di can be said to be the rebels of Qi State. It stands to reason that Qi State should send troops to destroy and suppress them immediately. The country is also worried that the reestablished Chu State will harass its rear. After all, Qi's main force is at the front line, and there is no extra power to deal with Chu.

The king of Qi also discussed this matter with the ministers many times, but he didn't get a unified answer. In the end, it was a letter from Han Qing that made the king of Qi make a decision.

Linzi, King Qi Palace, Tai'a Palace, King Qi brought Prime Minister Shang Rong, and showed Han Qing's letter to Shang Rong. After reading the first few sentences, Shang Rong was very surprised and said: "The general hopes that the king can treat Chu At the same time, send Xiang Guang and other Chu royal family and Chen Ding and other old ministers of Chu back to Chu?"

King Qi nodded and said, "Master Shang might as well continue to read and share your opinion."

Shang Rong continued to read, it was amazing, and the more he watched, the more excited he was, after reading it, he said: "The general is really a genius, he can come up with such a clever plan."

"It seems that Shang Rong has approved the opinion of the general." Seeing that Shang Rong was so excited, King Qi knew that Shang Rong had agreed to Han Qing's suggestion.

Shang Rong nodded, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the general's plan is uncanny. In the current state of Chu, Zhang Di monopolizes the power. At this time, these old ministers of the State of Chu will be put back. Infighting, and put back all the royal family of Chu, especially Xiang Guang, the former king of Western Chu, can definitely trigger the dispute between the royal family of Chu. How about the ability to harass me at the Daqi border?"

"It's really a clever plan!" After hearing this, King Qi praised: "Okay, since the Minister of Commerce also thinks this is a clever plan, then, as the general said, send all the old and young of the Chu Kingdom back to Pengcheng and give them to Zhang Dihe Xiang Kuang added to the block."

Following a letter from Han Qing and King Qi's order, all the old and young of the Chu State in Linzi were gathered together and prepared to be sent to Pengcheng. Among this group of people, most of them were very happy, especially It was the royal family of Chu. After all, after returning to Pengcheng, they would become the old masters again. However, there was one person who was not in a good mood, and that was Xiang Guang, the former King of Western Chu.

Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di are now the masters of the state of Chu. His grievances with these two people are too deep. If he and the Long family brothers hadn’t conspired together, Xiang Kuang would not have been forced to leave Pengcheng, and Chu would not have been forced to leave Pengcheng. There will be no split, and now that he is back in Pengcheng, he doesn't know whether Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di will spare him, so he pleads with King Qi, hoping to stay in Linzi, but how could King Qi agree? The core of the strategy lies, so Xiang Guang reluctantly followed the large army and marched towards Pengcheng.

In the camp of Leling, Chen Ding also received the news that the King of Qi was going to send him back to Pengcheng. Chen Ding had a complicated heart about returning to Pengcheng. In Qi State, he was discriminated against like other subjects of Chu State. And bullying, it is a good thing for him to be able to leave Qi, and his family and tribe are all in Pengcheng, and he can live a prosperous life when he returns to Pengcheng.But at this time, Chen Ding refused to return to Pengcheng, because he was the prime minister of Western Chu back then, and he opposed Zhang Di and Xiang Kuang. Now Zhang Di and Xiang Kuang are the masters of the state of Chu. I won't remember these, but King Qi has ordered that he must go if he doesn't.

On July 17th, [-]th year of Qianyuan, a group of old and young people from the state of Chu arrived in Pengcheng. Zhang Di and Xiang Kuang were quite happy that these people could come back. Being able to come back will relieve the urgent needs of Zhang Di and Xiang Kuang.

And the return of all the royal family members made Xiang Kuang even more happy. Now in Pengcheng, only Xiang Kuang and his two young sons are left in the Xiang family. It is worth mentioning that when Xiang Kuang was Chu The prince of the country also has a group of wives and concubines, and many children. It's just that the Long family brothers and Xiang Guang conspired against each other. Xiang Kuang escaped from Pengcheng in embarrassment. It was dealt with secretly.

After these people returned to Pengcheng, Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di resumed their former status. Even if it was Chen Ding, the former Prime Minister of Western Chu, Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di ignored the past and appointed him as the Prime Minister of Chu State. After all, Chen Ding also contributed to the restoration of Chu State today, which made Chen Ding's uneasy heart finally calm down.

But there is one exception, and that is Xiang Guang. As a traitor in the eyes of Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di, his treatment is not very good. In the eyes of Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di, if Xiang Guang and the Long family brothers hadn't caused trouble Yes, the state of Chu split and its strength was greatly damaged, and it would not be so easily destroyed by the state of Qi. However, after all, Xiang Guang is the son of the royal family of Chu and Xiang Kuang's own brother. Xiang Kuang is afraid that people will say that they are brothers. It was just to put him under house arrest, but it also put all the ministers who had served in Xichu in danger, fearing that one day they would be liquidated by Xiang Kuang.

However, the return of this group of survivors opened up another dispute in Chu State, that is, the struggle between Xiang Kuang and Zhang Di. They are all Zhang Di's people. It can be said that Xiang Kuang, the king of Chu, is just a puppet, and the real power is all in Zhang Di's hands. As long as Zhang Di doesn't nod, Xiang Kuang's will can't get out of the Chu palace.

The return of this group of elders and children gave Xiang Kuang the hope of regaining power, so he appointed Chen Ding as prime minister immediately. Chen Ding was the head of the Chen family in Pengcheng. After the Fan family was destroyed in Pengcheng , has become the head of the Chu family, and Xiang Kuang hopes to win over the family and take back the power from Zhang Di.

The rejuvenation of the Chu State is not a big deal or a small one for the situation in the entire Central Plains. After all, the Chu State has only [-] soldiers and horses, and any of the major powers can crush the Chu State with a single finger, but Zhang Di chose A good time came, that is, the Zhengzheng Zhao Qi Wei Three Kingdoms War, Deng Guo is recovering its strength, and no one of the major powers has time to control him, which made the restoration of the Chu State successful.

If you want to say who the restoration of the state of Chu has the greatest impact on, it should be Qi. Before Wei started the war, Qi State had 30 soldiers and horses on the northern plains. Later, 4 soldiers were lost in the battle of Li State. Coupled with the rebellion of the Long family brothers and the departure of Zhang Di, the 30 Qi army was reduced by 13 in an instant. With 17 people, facing Zhao's army of more than 5, it was not enough to see. Although Han Qing had already written to the King of Qi for reinforcements at the first time, but now Qi State still has extra troops to support. The king of Qi mobilized all the troops on the western front, and gathered [-] people to support the front line. After all, Qi and Wei are already grasshoppers on the same rope, and there is no need to guard against them.

In fact, Qi State has 10,000+ troops on the southern front, especially Guangling and Xiapi counties, which are used to guard against Deng State. Now that Chu State is restoring the state in Pengcheng, Qi State is even more afraid to mobilize these troops. .

With the support of these 5 people, the Qi army on the front line of the plain also has 22 people. If it is strictly guarded, it is barely enough, but in this way, Han Qing will have no courage to confront the Zhao army head-on.
