When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 632 Zhang Ji: I am good at treating "stubborn illnesses" for queen mothers!
After a long ship voyage at the port of Shouchun, the capital of Chu, Zhang Ji, the envoy of Qin, got off the ship with an unchanged expression. He was not at all like the pale faces and sloppy steps of several deputy envoys.

What they knew was that they were on a warship of the Chu State, but those who didn't know thought that these deputy envoys were on a fancy boat filled with brothel courtesans.

Not only did Zhang Ji cast a slightly disgusting look at the deputy envoys behind him, but the officers and soldiers of the Chu State Navy also cast mocking and contemptuous glances at these deputy envoys, but they were not satisfied with Zhang Ji's performance. It was a great surprise.

Although the Wei State has a dense water network, due to the terrain, the Wei people rarely take boats and mostly travel by land. Why does Zhang Ji, a Wei man, feel that he is more adaptable to wind, waves and the bumps of warships than their naval veterans? ?

Zhang Ji understood the Chu people's purpose.

Haha, the Chu people have always been proud and unwilling to admit defeat. Now that they lost the battle, they deliberately gave up the land route and took the Huai River waterway. After picking them up on the warship, they deliberately drove them in a bumpy way that made these navy soldiers feel extremely uncomfortable. The Qin envoy showed his embarrassed side, which could be regarded as a disincentive to them.

However, Zhang Ji was completely indifferent to such turbulence. In his previous life, he was from the coastal area of ​​eastern Zhejiang. Not to mention the relatively calm Huai River, he had experienced turbulence on the sea many times on a yacht, and he had never felt any discomfort at all.

As soon as they entered the port, Zhang Ji and others saw Zuo Tu of Chu State who had been waiting here early.

Zuo disciples, when they enter, discuss state affairs with the king and issue orders; when they go out, they receive guests and deal with the princes.

The scope of Zuo Tu's responsibilities is extremely broad, involving both military and political affairs. He often accompanies the king of Chu, and also takes over diplomatic activities. It is somewhat like the responsibilities of Zuo Prime Minister of Qin decades ago.

Moreover, what Zuo Tu valued most was not only the power given by this official position, but more importantly, the meaning of this position.

Qu Yuan's former position was Zuo Tu.

Once upon a time, Zuo Tu even became a nickname for Qu Yuan. Because Qu Yuan sank into the Miluo River, the official position of Zuo Tu was given a more glorious connotation. For example, later generations of General Anhan and General Fu Bo were not loyal and patriotic people. , cannot let it go.

As the special meaning behind the position of Zuo Tu emerged, Zuo Tu also had the nickname "Little Ling Yin", because every official who served as Zuo Tu was eventually promoted to Ling Yin, and Chunshen Lord Huang Xie also became a Ling Yin. Zuo Tu was promoted to Ling Yin.

Now this Zuo Tu is just like the old-fashioned image of Zuo Tu by the Chu people. He is a handsome gentleman, young and handsome. He takes the initiative to salute Zhang Ji when he sees him.

"Left disciple Song Yi has met Lord Luonan."

Zhang Ji returned the same salute, but couldn't help but look at the young and handsome Zuo Tu a few more times.

Naturally, he is not as good as Long Yang, just because this Zuo disciple's name is Song Yi.

If he guessed correctly, this Song Yi should be the unlucky guy in history who was tried by Xiang Yu to seize military power and was regarded as a coward and coward by countless people in later generations.

Song Yi, the last commander of Chu State during the Warring States Period.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Six Kingdoms were restored, and Song Yi served as the general of the Righteous Emperor Chu Huai, King Xiong Xin, and commanded all the armies of the Chu State.

There are no records of Song Yi's achievements in history books, but Song Yi's prestige was well-known in the world at that time, and he was known as the "Champion of Qingzi".

What is "Qingzi Champion"?
Qingzi is an honorific title, just like Young Master.

The champion is the brave champion of the three armies.

Song Yi once led the Chu army to defeat the Qin army in consecutive battles, and before becoming the general of Chu, he accurately predicted that Xiang Liang would be defeated by Zhang Han.

The battle between Song Yi and Xiang Yu was just a political struggle between the general of the Chu king's faction and the Xiang family. After Xiang Liang's death, he was able to quickly take over the defeated troops of the Xiang clan at a speed that Xiang Yu could not react to, and the general power was once again in the hands of King Huai of Chu. This shows how powerful Song Yi's methods were.

As for the so-called sitting on the sidelines and not saving the Zhao State, risking the Chu army's defeat to protect the main force of the Zhao State, if Xiang Yu hadn't won this battle at all costs, he would have been cast aside by the Chu people.

Song Yi didn't think much about it. Everyone knew that Zhang Ji was a womanizer, but he just looked at him a few more times. When ordinary people saw a handsome man, no matter whether they were men or women, they couldn't help but look at him twice. He had long been used to it.

Then, seeing that Zhang Ji, the Qin envoy from the north, seemed to be extremely curious about the southern capital, Song Yi personally led Zhang Ji to the observation deck at the top of the city and looked around the Shouchun City.

Shouchun City, formerly known as Shouchi, is a fortress castle guarding the south bank of the Huai River.

To the south of Shouchun City is a large lake called Shaopi. Although it is not as vast as Yunmengze, it is still endless for more than a hundred miles.

It is adjacent to the Huai River to the north and Shaopi to the south. It not only has the benefits of farming and irrigation, but also has the convenience of business travel by boat. Therefore, when it was still Shouyi, this city became a large city in Huainan, far away from Chen County in Huaibei. Hope to become two important towns supporting the entire Beichu.

There were many wars on both sides of the Huai River, and it has always been a major battlefield for the Chu Kingdom to compete in the Central Plains. The King of Chuzhuang at that time granted Shouyi to the Zhao clan, which had the strongest military strength. After more than a hundred years, the Zhao family carefully managed it, and Shouyi became a large-scale city with a thousand households of six miles. The city was six miles wide and there were thousands of households, which laid the foundation for it to become the capital of the Chu State.

However, Zhang Ji was not concerned about these, but the terrain near Shouchun City.

Although I have roughly seen the terrain near Shouchun City on maps and sand tables, after seeing it with my own eyes, I still have to say that "the city is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Since ancient times, one must guard the Huaihe River to protect the river. Shouxian County, Shouchun City, is located at the heart of the Huaihe River. It is surrounded by dense water networks and has fertile soil. There are also dense swamps and rivers in the outskirts of the cultivated land.

After meeting Chu's well-trained Kuaiji navy, Zhang Ji deeply realized that if the Qin navy's weak navy wanted to attack Shouchun, it must not go south along the Huaihe River, otherwise the Qin navy would be completely annihilated.

However, if you attack Shouchun by land, you will have to face swamps and quagmires.

It has to be said that the Chu people's crisis awareness and prevention methods when facing floods are far better than those of the Wei people. It is also a capital that often faces floods. Many large-scale dams were built near Shouchun, and ditches were dug to turn the rivers into rivers. The channels for Chu people to do business and the waterways for irrigating fields also greatly reduced the frequency and power of floods.

Well, the process and purpose of the Chu people building dams, dredging rivers, and digging canals were all told by Song Yi, a left-behind disciple.

The words inevitably reminded Zhang Ji that water attacks on Daliang and Yancheng were almost impossible in Shouchun City.

After a tour like a tour guide taking tourists, Song Yi, who had always made Zhang Ji feel a little too enthusiastic, finally revealed his true purpose.

"The Queen Mother was shocked to hear the bad news a few days ago. She had nightmares one after another. She was restless and looked haggard. Therefore, she is unable to meet Lord Luonan today. Can we wait for two days?"

The armistice agreement has been initially reached, but the documents of peace have not been signed, which means that the armistice agreement is only reached verbally, and either party may not recognize it and restart the war.

Therefore, Song Yi's suggestion was definitely rude, but it was hard not to hit the smiling person. Song Yi, the left disciple, did not hesitate to demean himself and came to serve as a tour guide for the Qin delegation, and Zhang Ji could not refuse.

But he didn't want to just follow Song Yi's wish, so he made a proposal that seemed even more rude than Song Yi's.

"I happen to be somewhat capable in the medical field. How about I personally treat the Queen Mother?"

Zhang Ji smiled faintly and added: "Don't worry, Zuo disciple. In the past, my queen's mother, the Queen Mother Zhao, also suffered from a stubborn disease, and I personally cured it with my own words...and my own hands."
