Chapter 1999: Ally with Chi You
Lü Qinghou was originally very dissatisfied with Chi You. After all, he was sent to the Southern Barbarians as an envoy of the Qin State. Chi You actually used seclusion as an excuse and did not even show his face. Moreover, he left him alone for so long. It was simply too arrogant.
The situation in northern Jingzhou is critical, and the Qin army's situation is not optimistic. They still need to rely on the Southern Barbarians to send troops to Yizhou to contain Liu Ji's troops.
Lü Qinghou came to ask for help from others, so naturally it was not easy for him to fall out, so he could only endure it for a while.
Lu Qinghou originally thought that Chi You would show up after a few days, but he didn't expect that Chi You didn't show up for a whole month. This way has shown his attitude. The Nanman will not unite with the Qin army, nor will they send troops to Yizhou. .
"Let's go back to Luoyang. This mission failed."
Lü Qinghou sighed lightly, he had been on mission to many countries so far, but this was the first time he felt so aggrieved as Nanman.
Qin Shuang and Nie Feng, who were bodyguards, were speechless when they heard this.
It was more than a thousand miles from Luoyang to Nanzhong. On the way, he passed through several interceptions and killings by the Shu Kingdom. Finally, he arrived at Nanzhong, but he didn't expect that he didn't even see the face of the Nanman King.
at this time.
"Sir, good news, good news, the Nanman King Zhu Rongchi, he, he..."
“What’s wrong with him?” Qin Shuang asked quickly.
“He has come out of confinement and has come to see you in person.”
"What?"
Lu Qinghou, Qin Shuang, and Nie Feng exclaimed at the same time, but then Lu Qinghou's face was full of doubts.
He originally thought that the Nanman King was unwilling to send troops and deliberately avoided him, so he stayed behind closed doors. However, he did not expect that Chi You would come to see him in person. The gap between before and after was so big that he had to think about it again and again. .
"Is it true that the Southern Barbarian King Zhu Rongchi is in seclusion as General Gonggong said? He cannot be disturbed, so he doesn't see us?" Lu Qinghou muttered to himself doubtfully.
“It is possible that the higher the martial arts realm, the longer the retreat time.” Qin Shuang nodded.
“But a month of seclusion is still a bit too long, right?” Nie Feng asked confused.
Lu Qinghou and Qin Shuang were still too young to have doubts about Chi You's lack of appearance. If it were Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they would definitely not shake their original thoughts.
You must know that Chi You was not only a warrior, but also the king of the Southern Barbarians. He was the king of a country. He had a lot of official business to deal with every day. How could he stay in seclusion for a month continuously?
If Chi You is really locked up for a month, the entire Southern Barbarians will probably be in complete chaos.
"Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Under the protection of several guards, Chi You walked into the gate and bowed to Lu Qinghou. Although he said "I'm sorry", there was no apology on his face.
“Out of the way, out of the way.”
After seeing Chi You, Lu Qinghou naturally returned the favor, but the expressions of Qin Shuang and Nie Feng suddenly changed. The hairs all over their bodies stood up, and there was even a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. .
"Brothers, what are you doing? It's too rude."
Lu Qinghou asked with a puzzled look on his face, wondering why Qin Shuang and Nie Feng had such a big reaction.
Qin Shuang leaned into Lu Qinghou's ear and whispered: "Sir, we don't want to either. You are a scholar, so you didn't feel the aura of the Southern Barbarian King, but we completely felt it.
The strength of the Southern Barbarian King is simply unfathomable. Only General Li Cunxiao has ever felt such a terrifying momentum. "
“If the Southern Barbarian King wants to kill us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to fight back.” Nie Feng said solemnly.
"What?"
Lü Qinghou showed an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe that the little southern barbarian could actually have a master of Li Cunxiao's level.
"Your Majesty, can you control your momentum? My two guards are weak and cannot withstand the pressure of your Majesty's momentum." Lu Qinghou said to Chi You. "good."
Chi You smiled calmly and said: "I have just broken through the retreat recently, and I still can't move it freely, which makes your envoy laugh."
After saying that, the powerful aura that was like the top of Mount Tai disappeared in an instant, and Qin Shuang and Nie Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing this scene, Lu Qinghou suddenly understood why Shu King Liu Ji had been wasting his time in Yizhou for so long, and even had to join forces with the hostile Chengdu King Liu Yu to repel the invading Southern Barbarian army. It was really because this Southern Barbarian king was too strong. .
In the next half day of negotiations, Chi You relied on his charm and eloquence to completely break his image in Lu Qinghou's mind.
Chi You was tall and tall, with a resolute and domineering appearance. When combined with his own strength and cultivation, people would unconsciously think that he was a reckless man.
Lü Qinghou naturally thought so too, but what he didn't expect was that Chi You, who looked domineering and domineering, was actually a meticulous and shrewd person who knew etiquette and was more like a Han Chinese than most Han people.
In addition, Chi You was not only eloquent, but also able to quote scriptures.
He saw the trap set in Lu Qinghou's words at a glance, and he was able to counterattack in a very short time. Lu Qinghou was speechless for a while, and his eloquence was not inferior to Lu Qinghou's at all.
“My King, you are different from the one in the legend. It’s better to see it than to hear it a hundred times.”
Lü Qinghou smiled bitterly and said, he never expected that Chi You would be so difficult to deal with, even some of the Central Plains princes could not compare with him.
Other conditions were negotiated smoothly, but when it came to the canonization issue, Chi You refused the canonization offer from King Nanzhong.
Obviously the canonization was a trap set by Lu Qinghou for Chi You.
Although King Nanzhong sounds much better than King Nanman, Nanman is not a subordinate of the Han in the first place. If Chi You accepts it, he will be a minister of the Han from now on, so this condition simply contains evil intentions.
"Ha ha."
Chi You smiled boldly, then stretched out his calloused palms and said: "From now on, your two families will be allies. Please also ask Qin to abide by the covenant. The southern barbarians do not like friends who do not keep their promises."
There is an element of threat in this statement.
Lü Qinghou immediately clasped his fists and said, "Definitely."
The next day, Lu Qinghou left Nanzhong with his envoy, while Chi You took the top Nanman officials to see them off ten miles away.
Watching Lu Qinghou's carriage gradually go away, Princess Zhu Rong's face was full of doubts and asked: "Brother Wang, do you really want to form an alliance with Qin?"
Princess Zhu Rong really couldn't understand how her brother's attitude could change so quickly.
Didn’t I say before that the wounds of the war have not been completely recovered, and now is not the time to send troops to Yizhou? Why do you want to form an alliance with Qin again?
Chi You's lips flashed with a sneer, and he explained: "It is not necessary to send troops to form an alliance with Qin. Even if troops are sent, it does not necessarily mean going to war with Liu Ji."
"Then what were you talking about for so long?" Zhu Rong asked in confusion.
"My silly sister, the Qin envoy came here with evil intentions. He wants me, the southern barbarians, to serve as spearmen for the Qin state. Aren't we allowed to use the Qin army in turn?" Chi You sneered.
One update.
I watched Nolan’s “Tenet” today. It was indeed quite brain-burning, but as long as the timeline is straightened out, it can still be understood.
I didn’t update it yesterday. I owe a chapter to the guarantee. I will definitely make up for it today.
