Daqin Engineers

Xiang Liang brought back Shen Bing's sentence when he returned to Dongting:

"Everything is done according to Mr. Changping's wishes."

So Chu Wangqi understood that Shen Bing would take care of the affairs of Yingzheng.

Chu Wangqi once held a position next to Yingzheng, and knew that Yingzheng often acted regardless of the consequences and hated the person who betrayed him most.

Not to mention the rest, just talk about the Fanyu Period... He was only worried about being punished by Yingzheng because of his defeat, so he fled to other countries to seek refuge. In his anger, Yingzheng killed Fanyuqi.

Needless to say why Ying Zheng has such a personality, it is related to his childhood experience.

Therefore, if Shen Bing did not say good things for him and Ying Zheng, it means that Changping Monarch Chen Cheng defected with a trick, then Chu Wangqi would not be killed if he was killed...

Anyway, falling into the hands of Yingzheng means death, so why not resist to the end?

The king of Chu in history also fought to the last moment, and Xiang Yan also succumbed to death.

But now this knot was untied by Shen Bing:

If Chen Cheng’s rebellion was a trick, Changping Jun never betrayed Ying Zheng from beginning to end, so even if Chang Ping Jun was of Chu royal blood, he might have his life...otherwise, Ying Zheng would have put Changping Jun under house arrest or killed. Up.

With a way to survive and retreat, Wang Qi of Chu would not fight to the last minute, so Xiang Yan would not suffocate herself.

But Chu Wangqi didn't do anything. He was waiting, waiting for Ying Zheng's edict to tell the world.

Just kidding, this is related to the destiny of Chu and his own life. Of course, a man who is so savvy and fortune-telling like Chu Wangqi would not make a decision just based on a cryptic reply from Shen Bing.

A few days later Chu Wangqi waited for the news he wanted.

On this day, when Chu Wangqi was staring at the map of Chu Kingdom, he saw Xiang Yan rushing into the hall with a letter, and said:

"My lord, the news from Handan."

Chu Wangqi said "Oh", then raised his head and asked:

"how is it?"

Xiang Yan nodded slightly and replied:

"The King of Qin told the world that if the King is willing to bow his head and become a minister, the King of Qin will designate the King as the King of Jinling and the Xiang family to station in the town of Baiyue in Jiangdong."

Jinling (now Nanjing) was roughly the turning point of the Yangtze River from east-west to north-south. To make Chu Wangqi the King of Jinling means to use Jinling as the boundary, and the area to the east is the fief of Chu Wangqi.

Chu Wangqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least he knew that Shen Bing did not break his promise, and had already informed Ying Zheng of the negotiation between the two. Otherwise, with Ying Zheng's personality... Wanwan would not put down the butcher knife at this time.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Although the Qin army only occupied the front line of Huaibei and did not continue to move south, the Qin army has now taken advantage of its various actions, and only waits for the grain to be ready to attack the city.

Although there are still many difficulties, the demise of Chu State is only a matter of time.

Ying Zheng doesn't care about the "difficulties" or how many people die, all he needs is the result.

Therefore, at this time, he told the world to throw out this condition, and there is only one possibility, and that is to eliminate his hatred of Chu Wangqi.

It can even be said that there is not only no hatred, but also that Chu Wangqi deserves a reward.

So what else does Chu Wangqi have to say?

Of course, it is to accept the conditions and prepare to surrender, otherwise, don't talk about Chu and Jiangdong, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the head.

As soon as Ying Zheng's notice came out, the Chu Realm immediately boiled.

The nobles sent envoys to the Dongting Chaohui...

The content of the North Korean meeting is not elaborated. One characteristic is that the three tribes all expressed their opposition in unison, while most of the other tribes did not support the Qin Dynasty.

How could Chu Wangqi not understand the reason, but it was only in two words: profit.

There is an idiom called "The tree catches the wind".

This idiom is also practical for all ethnic groups to descend to the Qin Dynasty.

The more the big clan descends to the Qin, the more dangerous it is, because the Qin State will not allow the big clan to exist. For example, the Zhao, Qu, and Jing tribes have thousands of people and they are still royal clans...

The surname of Zhao is the grandson of the prince of Chu Zhao. Wu Zixu led troops into the city of King Chu and forced King Chu to flee. Finally, in Fuguo, his descendants took Zhao as the surname to commemorate the achievements of King Chu Zhao.

The surname Qu is named after Qu Xia, the son of King Chu Wu.

The surname Jing is the descendant of King Chuping.

Needless to say, if these three tribes descended to the Qin Dynasty, there would be no consequences. Ying Zheng would suppress and split them, and even found an excuse to eradicate their core figures.

How can they drop in this situation?

On the contrary, if it is a small clan with only a few hundreds of people, Yingzheng will not take it seriously, so there is no life worry and even hope to be comforted and appointed.

If it doesn't fall... these small clans have no ability to resist the Qin army at all, and the three big clans will not rescue these small clans.

Of course they support the king of Chu and Qin.

A group of people arguing in the hall, some even burst into tears.

But all of this is meaningless, because Chu Wangqi had already made a decision in his heart.

The reason why Chu Wangqi allowed them to argue and not prematurely expressed his position was just to show that this was "a difficult decision."

Chu Wangqi was also patient. He didn't say to the nobles at the meeting until two days later:

"All the Qings will listen to a few words."

"Now that the situation is obvious to all, the morale of the Chu army and civilians has gone to Huaibei to descend to Qin."

"In the long run, Chu will have no luck."

"If that's the case, why shouldn't King Qin take a corner?"

"Once there is a plan to prevent the Qin army from going south, the widowed are unwilling to descend."

Immediately, the temple was so quiet that you could even hear the drop of a needle, and the nobles finally understood that King Qi of Chu was on the side of surrender.

After a while, Zhao Xie went out and said:

"Majesty, the minister thought that I must wait for Qin."

"If you talk about the strategy of blocking Qin... just as the king said before, the reform will unite the army and the people of all races..."

Chu Wangqi smiled sadly.

This is the face of the nobleman in Chu Kingdom, who was not willing to hand over power until the last moment.

But only now is it time to realize where there will be time?

Moreover, the focus at this time is not the reform. Even if the reform is successful in a short time, Chu and Qin are still far from each other without knowing the fattening, and it is still unavoidable to perish.

So Chu Wangqi didn't even bother to argue, but he waved his hand to make Zhao Xie retreat.

Then the king of Chu sighed and said:

"You can imagine, if I wait for nothing to recover and I am destined to die in the Qin army, why not find a way out?"

"If there is no objection, the widow can only please surrender."

The hall was in chaos again, and the messengers of the three tribes lost their blood instantly upon hearing this.

They didn't say anything on the surface, but after the meeting they discussed in secret.

The discussion is whether it is possible for the forces of the three tribes to resist Qin?

But even if the power of Chu State is unable to resist Qin, what can the three clans do!

What's more, at this time Chu Wangqi's troops were in Dongting, which was behind it. That was a force of flanking the three clans. There was no hope for the three clans to rise.

In the end, there was really no way, and the three clans could only compromise.
