I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

However, this boat is still too small, and it is fine on the river, but once it reaches the sea, it will not be able to withstand the waves.

When Daqin occupied the coastline of the North China Plain, it was the place called "Rizhao" by later generations, and Lianyungang.

Sunshine salt and build a port in Lianyungang.

When the streets are built, big ships will be built and the world's first navy will be created.

As long as the navy is built, Qi and Yan will be surrounded by Qin, and Qin can fight as he wants.

There is also the state of Chu, with its navy, it can enter the Yangtze River at any time, and even the king of Chu can't escape.

There is also Baiyue, which can be accessed from both the sea and the land by opening the Tongling Canal, which is more conducive to ruling.

The traffic between the south and the north will be more diversified, so that the connection between the north and the south can be added.

After the Great Qin ruled the world and the Great Qin Empire was established, they went to clean up the Huns and the Yuezhi Kingdom, captured some slaves, and built the Grand Canal.

The land of Chu State.

Sima Jingyang was standing at the top of the city. At this moment, he had received the report from the scouts, and the Qin army was heading south by boat.

At the same time, news came from Mang County and Fu Lisai that [-] cavalry from Qin State suddenly appeared in Dang County to the north of them.

"Order the army, let go of the chasm and the river, don't attack, let the Qin warships go south, hum, and want to sneak attack Shouchun by water?"

"This time, the old man let you Qin people come and go!"

All of a sudden, all the armies of Chu State became tense. Is Qin State really going to have a life-and-death battle with Chu State?

However, after Zhang He arrived at the border of Wei and Chu, all the big ships stopped, and at the same time, the people of Qin sent letters.

After Sima Jingyang finished reading it, he almost vomited blood, and Zhang He actually wanted to go to Chu State.

He had prepared for so long, but it was in vain, he just wanted to punch the air.

"Old man...damn Zhang He!"

But being able to negotiate is also the best news for Chu State.

If Qin State were to attack with all its strength at this moment, Chu State might not necessarily be Qin's opponent, but Qin State would not be much better.

The end result may be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Sima Jingyang immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Zhang He.

After Zhang He read it, a smile appeared on his face, and he knew that as long as Da Qin negotiated, Chu State would definitely agree.

But Zhang He didn't leave immediately, but waited at the border between Wei and Chu.

This wait lasted for five days, and Sima Jingyang was also waiting for news from Zhang He, but this girl said that he was going to be an envoy to Chu, but he didn't reply for five days.

Damn, are you going on a mission or not?

Sima Jingyang was so anxious that he had blisters all over his mouth.

Five days later.

Zhang He finally got the news from General Wang Ben. Wang Ben had already occupied the five cities of Chu State east of Pei County, and Xuzhou was already in the hands of Daqin.

Because the state of Chu deployed a large number of troops on the border of Wei and Chu, the area to the northeast, that is, the area south of the state of Qi, became a vacuum. It can be said that there was no elite army guarding it, and the local clans were guarding it.

It took Wang Ben five days to run all the way, and after occupying five cities, he divided up with Yang Duanhe and headed eastward, attacking Jianyang and Lanling, and all the way south to attack Baocheng and Pengcheng.

However, Pengcheng and Beicheng have the elite of Chu State, and they may not be able to capture them for a while.

At the same time, Li Xin led the army, all the way like no one's land, [-] cavalry were invincible, occupied Mang County and Fulisai, and beheaded more than [-] Chu troops.

However, the nearby Chu army all swarmed towards Qin's cavalry, desperately intercepting Li Xin's [-] cavalry. Because there are many swamps here, the cavalry lost their advantage for a while and postponed the attack.

But by occupying these two military fortresses, Li Xin has completed the task assigned by Zhang He.

Successfully sandwiched the defenders of Pengcheng and Beicheng.North and South cannot look after each other.

It wasn't until noon on the sixth day that Zhang He slowly took a warship, went south along the chasm, and arrived at Chen Di with Li Si.

On the shore of Chen Di, I met Chu State Da Sima Jingyang.

Zhang He brought ten followers, all of whom were first-class masters. Besides Xu Chu Dianwei, there were black and white Xuan Jian.

This time I went to scare and fool the King of Chu, so I had to bring some more experts. What if the King of Chu lost his mind and wanted to kill him?

"Master Da Sima, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Zhang He had a harmless smile on his face, and greeted him with a smile after getting off the boat.

Sima Jingyang gritted his teeth with a cold face, asking the old man to take care of him, and the old man will definitely "take care" of you, Tu.

Xiang Liang beside him whispered: "Master Sima, killing Zhang He directly may have unexpected benefits. If this person is not eliminated, the state of Chu will not be at peace."

Xiang Liang learned from his father's letter that Zhang He is a war madman. With Zhang He around, Chu State should not want to stay out of it. Sooner or later, Chu State will perish at the hands of Zhang He.

Da Sima Jingyang glanced at Xiang Liang, and said lightly, "It's easy to kill Zhang He, but have you thought about the army behind Zhang He?"

Once Zhang He is dead, Qin State may fight desperately with Chu State, and now the negotiation is the key point.

"Don't mess around, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Xiang Liang gritted his teeth, but his words are useless here, he is just a lieutenant general.

Da Sima Jingyang stepped forward with a smile: "It's better to meet after hearing about it for a long time. Zhang Heshangqing is indeed a good-looking talent. A young man like you can sit in the position of General Qin. There is no such person in history."

"Da Sima won the prize, didn't he get it today?"

"I also ask Da Sima to lead the way. I am not familiar with the territory of Chu State. Your Majesty sent someone to negotiate with Chu State. Your Majesty said that Chu State attacked Qin State for no reason. Why? Ask Chu King one, two, three..."

"Great Sima, you don't know that General Xiang Yan suddenly attacked the land of Jingchu, and then he attacked Wuguan when Qin State was attacking Zhao State. That was to take down the capital of our Great Qin State! Your Majesty is very pleased Anger, the consequences are very serious..."

Da Sima Jingyang's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Yingdu was originally the old capital of our state of Chu. Back then, Qin State Baiqi attacked for no reason and flooded Yingdu, killing 10 people in our state of Chu. It is not normal to take it back now. ?"

"Hahaha, that's all about the older generation, so why not?" Zhang He laughed.

"Master Sima, please lead the way. Let's go to Shouchun and talk slowly. I, Qin, have plenty of time."

Sima Jingyang: "..."

Everyone boarded the boat again, and Zhang He said to his soldiers: "Go back and tell the soldiers of Qin State that if I, Zhang He, die in Chu State, I will attack with all my strength, capture the King of Chu, and take him back to Xianyang."

The corner of Da Sima Jingyang's mouth twitched, cursing inwardly.

Before negotiating, this guy started to threaten him. Damn it, I'll let you see how your warship went south, the river channel was already cut off by the old man.

Chapter 250 Qu Huan, You Throw Your Father's Face Into the Miluo River

Looking at the entire land area of ​​Chu State, it can be said that it is full of big rivers, especially the well-developed Huaihe River Basin.

In the Huaihe River Basin, the water system is developed and the river network is dense.

Funiu Mountain rises in the west, the north branch flows to the south bank of the Yellow River, and the south branch flows to Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, across Qin, South Korea, Wei, and Chu, converging with major rivers and finally flowing into the sea.

With such a dense water system, irrigation should be very convenient, with good harvests every year, convenient water and water transportation, and prosperous commerce.But on the contrary, the commerce of Chu State is not developed, the people are often starved to death, and the people are in dire straits.

As the saying goes, the Huaihe River is the success, and the Huaihe River is the failure.

The water system of the Huaihe River was very disordered at that time.

Because no one has repaired the river ditches or built embankments all year round, so that the river ditches are silted up, and the ponds and ditches are flooded. Once they encounter floods, they will be filled and leveled, causing large-scale flood disasters.

Or, flood locusts occur concurrently, and no grass grows.

In the Huaihe River Basin, the common people circulated a ballad: "Heavy rain and big disaster, light rain and small disaster, no rain and drought." This is the true portrayal of the Huaihe River Basin at that time.

The main reason is that the state of Chu has not established a perennial stable river channel, has not dug ditches, and has not established a good drainage and water storage system.

Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, is located on the south bank of the Huaihe River (in today's Shouxian County, Huainan City).

The Huaihe River is like a "ji" character, winding Shouchun City in the center, and on the left side of Shouchun City is the Pihe River flowing northward, and on the right side is the Feihe River flowing northward.

On the south side of Shouchun City, where the two rivers are sandwiched, is the irrigation project Shaopi built by Sun Shuao for the state of Chu during the period of King Zhuang of Chu.

This Shaopi irrigation project is one of the few artificially constructed projects in Chu State.

It is also because of this project that King Zhuang of Chu dominated in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Shaopi could irrigate tens of thousands of hectares of fields, and it was known as the "Irrigation District without Seeking Heaven for Hundreds of Li".

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Bai Qi to flood the capital of Chu State Ying, and King Chu Kaolie moved his capital to Shouchun.

After all, this is the place where the Chu State rose, and it is also a major grain-producing area.

Shouchun City, Zhanghua Palace.

Qu Huan finally returned to Shouchun and met the King of Chu. At this moment, Qu Huan was kneeling in Zhanghua Palace, weeping uncontrollably, with snot and tears left and right...

Half a year ago, he was sent by the king of Chu to Xianyang of Qin State as an envoy to Qin State to stabilize the relationship between the two countries.

But when he arrived in Xianyang, Qin and Zhao countries went to war. Xiang Yan attacked all the way, captured Yingdu, and captured the entire land of Jingchu. The lost homeland of Chu State returned to them again. hands of the countrymen.

At that time, when Qu Huan heard that the state of Chu had recaptured Yingdu and the land of Jingchu, he was so excited that he cried. His father threw himself into the river because of the fall of Yingdu.

Later, he arrogantly went to meet the monarch and ministers of Qin State. He originally wanted to show off his power and wash away the humiliation of Chu State in front of the Qin people.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to the Chu army who was about to hit Xianyang at all, and was forked out before he could finish speaking.

Then he was told that Qin and Chu had been at war for many years, so there was no need to send missions to each other, and he was disrespectful to King Qin.Expelled from the state of Qin, no one is allowed to stay in the territory of the state of Qin, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy.

Afterwards, Qu Huan took his mission team of more than 20 people, all of them withdrew from Xianyang of Qin State, and embarked on the road back to Chu State.

But no one thought that they would encounter robbers as soon as they left Hangu Pass. Damn, the robbers in Qin State were too powerful, and they were all masters. Instantly chopped vegetables.

For his life, Qu Huo threw away the money and food he carried with him, and with the help of two servants, he ran as fast as he could, and finally escaped from the robbers.

But his life was saved, but eating and drinking became a problem.

In order to return to Shouchun to meet the king alive, he...he has no face to speak, thinking of the days he has lived in these past few months, he wants to cry loudly.

"Your Majesty, I... oh wow... I'm back!"

Qu Tuo threw himself on the ground, remembering what happened along the way, and instantly burst into tears uncontrollably.

Everyone was speechless, but when Qu Yu finished talking about his experience in Qin, the King of Chu still sympathized with Qu Yu, and the King of Qin dared to take the few officials as fools.

All the ministers were also angry in their hearts, the king and ministers of the state of Qin simply did not regard the envoys of the state of Chu as human beings.

The robber was obviously the work of the emperor and ministers of the state of Qin.

Of course Qu Huan knew that those robbers were done by Qin's monarch and ministers, but there is no evidence for this matter, so he dare not speak nonsense, once the Qin people are used as a handle, it may cause major troubles.

"Your Majesty, since the State of Qin has expelled the envoys from the State of Chu, there is no need for the State of Chu to keep their envoys from the State of Qin. We must drive them all back." Sanlu Doctor Jing Chai said.

He is Qu Yuan's student, and Qu Huan is his elder brother. How can there be no reason for the elder brother to be humiliated in Qin?

Jing Chai is a Sanlu doctor who is in charge of the education of the entire Chu royal family and the public family. Although he is only in charge of education, he actually has quite a lot of power.

Because Jing Chai has the right to recommend outstanding students to the king, the king still accepts it, and if he does not accept it, he will deny the work of the Sanlu doctor. From then on, the education of the royal family's children may become a big problem.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, Mr. Qu suffered such humiliation in the Qin State, and this matter must not be let go like this, otherwise, who will be willing to serve as an envoy for the Chu State in the future?"

Jing Chai, the senior official of Sanlu, had just retreated, and Song Yuan, the minister of state affairs, came out and suggested to the king of Chu.

……

Qu Huo is the patriarch of the Qu family. Although the Qu family is a civil servant, the family is very large, and the Qu family's fiefdom is in the Yuanxiang River Basin (Xiangxi area), controlling hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are all elite soldiers.

After the Qin State occupied the land of Jingchu, it did not capture the land of the Qu family. Later, the Qin people attacked from the middle of Guizhou to the north, but they also did not capture this piece of land.

Sanlu Doctor Jing Chai, although he is Sima Jingyang's younger brother, is still Qu Yuan's student, and he grew up wearing a pair of trousers with Qu Yuan.

Chu Wanghan dared not offend Qu Tuo.

He also wanted to be as grand as Yingzheng for a while, with a big wave of his hand, and directly kill these powerful officials, but he really couldn't do it, not to mention, now that there are internal and external troubles, these guys still need these guys to keep his throne!

"Qu Qing, you should go home and recuperate for a few days, and the widow will definitely seek justice for you."

The King of Chu looked at Jing Chai, the doctor of Sanlu, and said coldly: "Doctor Sanlu, I will leave this matter to you. No matter what method you use, you must seek justice for the widow."

Ling Yin and Li Yuan, who stood below, hadn't spoken for a while, and the corners of their mouths turned up at this moment, let's make it, make it, it deserves it!

It depends on how you seek justice for Qu Tuo.

I have no ability, I was humiliated in Qin, and I came here to cry, are you embarrassed?

You threw the face of your father Qu Yuan into the Miluo River.

Chapter 251 King Chu: The Widows Finally Hope Zhang He Comes

Li Yuan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I think it is safest to leave this matter to Dr. Sanlu, but it may be inappropriate to drive all Qin envoys out of Chu State."
