After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 331
Weiguo Diqiu.

After the envoys of the Jin State left, Duke Wei's expression was not good, and he was a little hesitant now. Zhao Yang had already made it clear that as long as the State of Wei could return under the wings of the State of Jin, all the previous events would be resolved. Let bygones be bygones.

At this time, Kong Yu, who was standing above the main hall, saw that Wei Hou didn't respond for a long time, so he took a step forward and said.

"Your Majesty, we should stand with Qi State unswervingly at this time. The reason is very simple. The Seven Kingdoms united with the vassal states to attack Jin State three times, and they responded to our Wei State."

"Otherwise, how could our State of Wei take Qiyi back? Now even Chaoge, the former capital of our State of Wei, has fallen into the hands of the people of Jin. Zhao Jianzi just wants our State of Wei to become a barrier for the State of Jin. "

"And now the power of the Han State is getting stronger and stronger, and the Qi State and the Han State are getting closer. Under this situation, if something happens to our Wei State, we can turn to Qi State and Han State for help. Save the day."

"If you switch to Jin at this time, it will not only damage the reputation of our Wei country, but also lose the only way out. If Qi and Han join forces to attack Wei, how can we resist it?"

Wangsun Jia also nodded, stepped forward to salute, and then spoke in agreement.

"This makes sense. Although Han has few soldiers, it is elite enough. It has won three battles in Jin and returned. Under the current uncertain situation, our Wei country is only a small country, and we cannot make a choice easily."

"Otherwise, it's very likely that we're asking for trouble. It's better to take this moment to express Wei's attitude. Even if Jin becomes stronger in the future and we return to Jin, we won't be humiliated again."

This incident naturally refers to the fact that Wei Linggong was nakedly humiliated when he made an alliance with Zhao Jianzi's retainers. If Wang Sunjia hadn't stepped forward to fool him, it is hard to say what would have happened there.

After Wei Chugong heard this, the hesitant expression on his face gradually dissipated, and his eyes began to firm up.

"Since this is the case, then we will reject the envoy of Jin State and insist on our position unchanged. Let's see the situation before we talk."

The other people present did not express any objection, but at this time Wangsun Jia reminded.

"Your Majesty, the former prince of Wei is still in the state of Jin. What I am most worried about is that the Jin Dynasty will send troops to support the former prince to return to Wei. At this time, it is better to send envoys to Qi and Han to renew the alliance between us. friendship."

"In this way, once our country of Wei is in danger, we can ask for help from the two countries, but there is one thing to note, that is, our country of Wei cannot recognize the Emperor Zhou of Huaicheng. This is also a retreat for the future."

"Wei State cannot be compared with Qi State. Qi State is richer and has a large population. Now we are not afraid of Jin State's revenge when we join hands with Han State. If we recognize the status of Han State, there will be no peace with Jin State. There's room."

Marquis Wei naturally followed the good advice, and while replying to the envoy of Jin State, he immediately sent people to Qi State and Han State.

The state of Chu contained Ying.

This is the capital city that King Chu Zhao just built, and it also represents a new beginning of Chu State. Sitting on the throne, King Chu Zhao, after the envoy from the State of Chen finished speaking, comforted him a few words and told him to go down to rest, and then Open your mouth and say.

"Now that the state of Wu is attacking Chen, should our state of Chu send troops to rescue at this time? I don't know what the ministers and workers have to say? Why don't you just say it and discuss it."

After listening, Shen Baoxu took a step forward, with a firm expression on his face, and he spoke without hesitation.

"Chen State is now friendly to me and Chu State, and some time ago, Wu State invaded and occupied a large part of our Chu State's territory. Under such circumstances, we should rescue Chen State, otherwise, the influence of our Chu State in the future power will be further weakened.”

"It would be best to unite with Jin at this time. After all, Han supported Wang Zichao as the emperor of Zhou in Huaicheng. This is something that Jianguo cannot allow. Now that Han and Wu are united, our Chu State is a little bit alone."

"Now that the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom has been settled, Zhao Jianzi has worked hard to govern the country. Jin's current strength has recovered very quickly. If our two countries can unite, even the Wu Kingdom will not dare to act rashly."

"And we can continue this time to stir up the relationship between Wu and Han. If the alliance between them breaks down, then Wu will have no spare power to fight. We, Chu, will start a war."

Zixi nodded after listening. He felt that Shen Baoxu's suggestion was very helpful to the current situation. Although the Han Kingdom developed rapidly, it was also based on the easing of relations with neighboring princes. .

The state of Wu is an important key point, because during this period of time, the state of Wu put all its energy on the state of Chu, so the state of Han was able to take this opportunity to conquer the state of Jin while immersing itself in development, so he very much agreed. Said.

"Before, King Fuchai of Wu sent envoys to Huaicheng to propose to the Han Kingdom the matter of ceding the new city. Although this matter was unsuccessful, it can be seen that King Fuchai of Wu is already coveting the new city."

"This is also normal. Wu has been fighting for years and has annexed many vassal states, which has caused dissatisfaction among other vassal states, and the treasury is relatively empty. Han now provides Wu with money and food."

"On the surface, the relationship between the two countries seems to be good, but secretly, I'm afraid they have their own calculations. Now that Jin has stabilized, after the death of Marquis Qi, the Tian family rebelled, killed Gao Zhang, and expelled Guoxia. Its national power must be damaged. .”

"The state of Jin has been repeatedly attacked by the coalition forces of the princes. As the current overlord, how can it be possible to swallow this breath? Presumably, it will definitely repay the state of Qi in the future. It is also beneficial for the state of Jin to unite with us at this time."

After hearing this, King Chu Zhao nodded slowly. He did not expect that Meng Di was just a young general in the Chu army back then, but now he has grown to this level, which is really amazing.

This also made him more fighting spirit in his heart. How could he be the king of Chu, how could he be compared to a young general?It's just that King Chu Zhao also has some regrets in his heart, if Meng Di could be kept at that time.

With such an extremely capable person helping him to govern Chu, then Chu would soon become strong, and it would be impossible for him to fall to the present situation, where he was beaten helplessly by Wu!
