Chapter 144
“You guys are all ready.
"Zhou Chong looked at the generals and said with a smile, "Looking at your outfit, you know that you are in a hurry to destroy Chu. I want to ask you one thing, what do you want to get after destroying Chu? Are they the beauty of Chu or the food of Chu? I have seen all these, but I have nothing to say, it is amazing, especially the beauties in Li Yuan's mansion, and there are countless delicious foods.
”
This is a joke, which made everyone laugh. Nei Shiteng and Zhou Chong had a very good relationship and asked, "Mr. Zhou, don't inquire about our plans first, let's talk about your thoughts first.
Do you want the beauty of Chu, or the food of Chu, or gold, silver and jewelry.
Wang Jian also came to joke and said, "In Wang Jian's opinion, Mr. Zhou is probably in his opinion, who wants a beauty in the Jiangnan water town of Chu State. Mr. Zhou is still alone and can't sleep. It is normal for him to have a beauty to warm up the bed."
The generals laughed again.
Zhou Chong shook his hands and said, "General Wang, don't talk nonsense. Let him be like three thousand waters. I, Zhou Chong, only take one scoop. Handan, Linzi has so many beauties, have I, Zhou Chong, ever had any thoughts?"
Meng Wu laughed and said, "I understand. Mr. Zhou, who is your good girl? Mr. Zhou is very interested in it, so don't be happy with him."
The person who has experienced this is really vicious. He told Zhou Chong's thoughts in one sentence. Zhou Chong smiled and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. When I am Zhou Chong's wedding, you, the old general, will give me Zhou Chong a generous gift. If you are too thin, you will be nice."
Nei Shiteng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry. General Meng gave you nothing, just gave you ten or eight jealous beauties, which would cause a fire in your backyard."
Everyone couldn't help it anymore, and they laughed so hard that they almost couldn't breathe.
Zhou Chong was about to scold the Nei Shi Teng, but the Hu Ben guard came in. Reported: "You reported to Mr. Zhou, the envoy from the East Chu arrived, saying that he had something to ask for a meeting with Mr. Zhou."
The army was about to go south to destroy Chu, but the envoys of Chu appeared here, which was a bit unexpected. The generals stopped joking and were very curious. Nei Shiteng asked: "What are the envoys of Dong Chu doing? Could he know our actions?"
Hundreds of thousands of troops are deployed on the border of Chu. It is very difficult to keep it completely confidential. If the news leaks, Li Yuan is suspicious, sending someone to negotiate.
Although it will not cause substantial obstacles to Mie Chu, it is possible to create some difficulties. The generals thought in their hearts like Nei Shiteng and said in unison: "Yes!"
Zhou Chong didn't know what the Dong Chu envoy came to do, and he thought he would know it after meeting him, and said, "Please invite him in."
The Hu Ben Guard responded. Go out and invite the Chu envoy in. The envoy bowed to Zhou Chong and said, "The Great Chu envoy Ren Shangren has met Mr. Zhou and all the generals."
He was very kind and respectful, not like a person who was asking for guilt. Everyone was even more confused and anxiously said, "When you see Mr. Zhou, what's the matter, please tell me."
Ren Shangren was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked at the generals. He understood his meaning very clearly, that was to talk to Zhou Chong alone. Wang Jian and the others stood up and were about to leave. Zhou Chong said, "If you have something to do, say it, please come back if you have nothing to do.
These are all loyal ministers of the king, and there is nothing that they cannot know. If it is a public affairs, you can make it clear in front of everyone. If it is a private matter, I am sorry that Zhou Chong has no private matters.”
Zhou Chong's words meant that Wang Jian and the others wanted to listen together and come up with ideas together. As the army was about to be dispatched, it was indeed impossible to guess the sudden emergence of the Chu envoy. It would be a good place to have Wang Jian and the others help to think of a solution.
Ren Shangren hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou is too careful and this matter is very important. Ren Shangren has to be careful. Since Mr. Zhou has the order, Ren Shangren dares not obey the order. Ren Shangren is in charge of my king.
Come to meet Mr. Zhou and ask Mr. Zhou to speak a few good words before the King of Qin. Please send troops to help the war and destroy the rebels."
The King of Qin was ready to destroy Chu immediately, but at this moment Li Yuan sent someone to ask for troops. Isn’t this shooting himself in the foot? This matter was not only unexpected by everyone, but also by Zhou Chong.
As long as you are not a fool, you can get it. As long as Zhou Chong agrees, the Qin army will take the banner of helping Dong Chu and enter Chu in a noble way. In order to destroy Chu, it will save countless troubles.
Wang Jian and the others thought that Zhou Chong had no reason to disagree with this kind of good thing, so he would definitely agree. He would discuss the military period with Ren Shangren, and the Chu State would be over.
However, the progress of the matter was far from what they imagined. Zhou Chong vetoed: "What Mr. Ren said is a big matter, and Zhou Chong has no right to make a decision, so he will be the king's sage. However, what Zhou Chong can tell you is that this matter is difficult to succeed.
If you wanted the Qin Dynasty to send troops, there would be no problem several months ago. Now the Qin Dynasty has something to do in the north and is unable to look south. Zhou Chong dared not to disturb the king's arrangements based on the affairs of Chu State. Please forgive me for your envoy.”
After hearing Zhou Chong's words, the anxious Nei Shiteng really wanted to rush up and grab Zhou Chong's collar and question Zhou Chong, "You are about to sleep, someone handed you a pillow. Why don't you accept such a good thing?" Wang Jian's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and secretly praised Zhou Chong for his cleverness.
With Ren Shangren thinking that Qin had no reason to refuse, he didn't expect Zhou Chong to refuse. He thought that perhaps it was because he didn't have a bargaining chip, so he offered a price: "If the Qin Dynasty sent troops, all 100 cities in Jingxiang belonged to the Qin Dynasty. Such a huge profit, wouldn't the Qin Dynasty not refuse?"
To be honest, it was quite generous to cedify one hundred cities to Qin. However, Sun Shangren didn't know that the Qin King would implement the destruction of Chu soon. The entire Chu State was Qin State, so he didn't care about a mere hundred cities. Nei Shiteng said with a mouth, very disdainful.
Zhou Chong's heart was as clear as a mirror, and this must be a move Zhang Liang made, in order to save a lot of trouble for the army to destroy Chu.
It is not a piece of cake to fool Li Yuan with Zhang Liangzhi. Moreover, asking Qin to send troops to help the war is real. As long as you are not a fool, you will understand it. As long as Zhang Liang makes a suggestion, he will tell Li Yuan that Zhou Chong is a celebrity around the King of Qin. If you persuade Zhou Chong first, everything will be easy. Li Yuan will definitely send someone to see Zhou Chong.
Zhang Liang had already made a good move for Zhou Chong. How to adapt depends on Zhou Chong's gambling skills. Zhou Chong thought for a while and had already made an idea. He pretended to be hesitant and said: "For you Chu State, one hundred cities are indeed a lot, and it can be said that they are very generous.
But did you think what would happen if I, Daqin, did not help you, but Xi Chu?"
Qin State helped the Western Chu to destroy the Eastern Chu, which was exactly what Li Yuan was afraid of. Ren Shangren's face changed drastically when he heard this, as pale as paper, his chest was undulating rapidly, his lips and tongue were closed tightly. It took him a while to recover.
