Chapter 351 Qin envoys enter Wancheng

3 Chapter Fifty: Qin envoys enter Wancheng
On April 21, the 26st year of Qianyuan, the second day after Zhang Chuan took office as the General of the State of Zhao, Zhang Chuan convened a group of generals of the State of Zhao in the Jinyang camp to start his first meeting as the General of the State of Zhao , and at the same time Liwei, but it is not known what effect Liwei will have this time.

"Everyone, this general first ascended to the position of general, and I still need your support and help in the future, especially General Sima Chong and General Li Rubing. General Zhao said to this general more than once when he was alive that the two generals are great The cornerstone of Zhao Future, I will ask the two generals to give me more advice in the future!" Zhang Chuan said to everyone, he also knew that many people would not accept his position as a general, he did not have the unparalleled prestige of Xin Zhao, and he could Becoming a general is all based on luck, and he also knows that his ability is just a transition. After all, he is not young. The reason why Xin Zhao appointed him as a general before his death is largely because Zhang Chuan was able to temporarily stabilize the situation of Zhao's military. As long as this period of time passed, Zhang Chuan still needed to give up his position.

But people are ambitious. I used to work under Xin Zhao because of Xin Zhao's ability and prestige. Zhang Chuan was willing to be Xin Zhao's younger brother, but now that Xin Zhao is dead, the entire Zhao army, In terms of seniority, only Sima Chong and Gongsun Jue can compare with Zhang Chuan. What Zhang Chuan is thinking about now is how to secure his position as a general and command millions of troops like Xin Zhao.

"Don't worry, general, the last general will help you with all your strength!" As one of the former candidates for the general, Sima rushed out. He and Zhang Chuan made their debut at the same time. One, but in the defeat of Huishan, the [-] Zhao army was almost wiped out. This is the worst defeat since the founding of Zhao Guo, so this means that the probability of him taking over as the general is the lowest among the three. In addition, Xin Zhao was by his side before he died, and he heard Xin Zhao's last order clearly, so he had no choice but to accept his fate.

After Sima Chong, another military giant Li Rubing also came out to support Zhang Chuan, but Li Rubing did not accept his fate like Sima Chong. After all, he was the most talented general in Zhao Guo after Zhao Xin, but now Zhang Chuan has Zhao Xin died, and Zhao Wang appointed him. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Li Rubing could only bear with it for the time being.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chuan was very happy. Although he didn't have any prestige, he had achieved his goal with the support of the whole army. Although he knew that many people here were falsely flattering them, it was enough. It can be regarded as temporarily securing the throne of the general, but if he wants to further consolidate his position, he still needs to make impressive achievements.

After this discussion, the military turmoil that Zhao Guo expected did not appear, which made the court of Zhao Guo very happy, and it also made many people in the court begin to agree with Zhang Chuan, thinking that he, the general, did a good job.

And at the time when Zhao Guo's army was changing from old to new, Baili, the royal doctor of Qin State, walked into Wancheng, and was received by Deng Sheng in Jingyang Palace!

"Foreign Minister Daqin Yushi doctor Bailijin pays homage to King Deng, wishing King Deng a long life!" Bailijin walked into the Jingyang Palace and saluted Deng Sheng on the throne.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up!" Deng Sheng said with a stern face and waved his hands, making it impossible to see his mood at this time. Qin Guo sent people here this time, which greatly exceeded Deng Guo's expectations, but again In reason, now that Zhao Xin has passed away, the whole country of Zhao has collapsed in half. If Qin does not seize the opportunity, it is not worthy to compete with Deng Zhao for the balance of the world. However, Qin alone cannot shake Zhao, so It is imperative to join forces with Deng Guo.

After Baili got up, Deng Sheng asked Bailijin: "I remember that I, Da Deng, have never had any contact with your country, and when I was in Bashu, I was a little unhappy with your country. I don't know if your honor came all the way from Chang'an. So why?"

Bailijin smiled and said: "Although there were some conflicts between your country and ours in the Bashu battle, it was all for our own survival, and your country finally let our army go, and gave up the land north of Jiameng Pass. , My king is also grateful to King Deng. As for the foreign ministers who came this time, they are ordered by my king. After one month, my king will wait for King Deng's arrival in Hanshui!"

"What does your honor mean?" This made Deng Sheng a little puzzled. Although he knew that Baili came here for the purpose of forming an alliance between Deng and Qin, but the king of Qin suddenly wanted to invite himself to Hanshui. What does this mean? , Hanshui is one of the borders of Deng and Qin. To the east of Hanshui is Shangyong of Deng State, and to the west of Hanshui is Hanzhong of Qin State. Why did King Qin meet himself at the border?
Baili Jin cupped his hands and said: "Back to King Deng, I think King Deng also knows that the number one general in the world, Zhao Xin, the great general of the Zhao Kingdom, died of a serious illness. After Zhao Xin's death, the pillar of the Zhao Kingdom has been broken. , although there is Zhang Chuan to succeed Zhao Xin, but Zhang Chuan is not Zhao Xin, he can't command Zhao Guo's millions of troops like Zhao Xin, so this time is not only my opportunity for Daqin, but also your country's opportunity, so my king I want to form an alliance with King Deng in Hanshui and conspire with Zhao Guo!"

Deng Sheng now understood that it was still a matter of forming an alliance. It is estimated that the king of Qin felt that the verbal alliance was not reliable, so he followed the example of the pre-Qin period and made an alliance with himself in Hanshui. Deng Sheng thought it was a bit interesting , He has been on the throne for so many years, and he has never made an alliance with anyone. The original Deng Qichu Chen Peicheng alliance is not counted, at most it is a temporary alliance of interests, but the meaning of blood alliance is different, it means life and death Yes, although people nowadays don't value this, but such a big event as an alliance still needs some sense of ceremony.

But the matter is very important, Deng Sheng didn't agree with Bailijin, but said: "Your Excellency, this is a very important matter at this time, and it is difficult for me to give you an answer in a short time, why don't you ask your honor to wander in Wancheng?" In a few days, after the widow and the ministers have discussed it, can I reply to your honor?"

Bailijin nodded. He also knew that it was unrealistic to decide on such a major matter immediately, and it was necessary for others to discuss it, so he said: "This is also reasonable, and the ministers can understand it. The foreign minister also wants to enjoy the scenery of Wancheng, so the foreign minister will stay here for a few days and wait for the good news from King Deng."

Deng Sheng nodded and asked Chen Qun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to arrange for Bailijin. Don't be negligent. After all, not only Qin State wants to form an alliance, Deng State is also very interested in this, so Bailijin must take good care of it.

After the dynasty was over, a group of important officials from Deng Guo came to Qianyang Palace, and then Deng Sheng asked Guijiang to close the gate of the palace, and guarded it outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng looked at the crowd and said: "Masters, you all heard what the envoy of Qin State Bailijin said in the court this morning, please tell me, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Bin came out and said, "Now that Xin Zhao has passed away suddenly, the people of Zhao are in panic and the morale of the army is in turmoil. It is also imperative to form an alliance between the two countries, but I do not agree with whether to form an alliance with King Qin in Hanshui, after all, the matter of King Huai of Chu in the pre-Qin period is a lesson from the past!"

In the pre-Qin period, King Qin Zhaoxiang, the ancestor of Qin State, detained King Huai of Chu under the guise of Huimeng and Wuguan, and took him captive to Xianyang, where he was imprisoned to death, which further weakened the strength of Chu State until the country fell. Going to Hanshui, there is no guarantee that you will not hide this thought in your heart, so Zhang Bin thinks it is impossible to go.

However, there were also people who agreed to go to Hanshui. Cui Hao came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Xiang said is wrong. In the pre-Qin period, Qin and Chu went hand in hand. Qin would do this in order to weaken Chu, but now Qin is the largest. The enemy is not my Great Deng, but the State of Zhao. As long as King Qin is a smart person, he would never dare to take the risk of offending my Great Deng to detain the King. Once Qin State dares to do such a thing, then Qin State will Facing the two-faced attack of my Great Deng and Zhao, how can Qin be able to resist it with its strength?"

Cui Hao’s opinion was recognized by some courtiers. One moment is not the other. Deng State is not Chu State before Qin, and the present Deng State is definitely not an existence that Qin State can offend, so even if Qin State has ten guts, he dare not detain it. From this point of view, it seems that there is no danger in the trip to Hanshui this time, and there is no harm in going there.
