Xin Xiran didn't know much about the ten feudal kings before, and he only knew that there was such an existence, but he didn't know the relationship at all.

He was surprised: "Since he is also surnamed Zhuang, why do you want to unite with outsiders to fight your own people?"

Qiu Ji drank all the wine in the cup, Fushimi quickly poured him a glass, his slender fingers stroked the edge of the wine glass, and said unhurriedly: "The relationship between China is complicated, and I only know a rough idea, I heard that it is for a woman, which causes King Lin'an to hate the person surnamed Zhuang."

However, this King Lin'an did not say anything before. Do you know that half a month ago, the feast of the ten major vassal kings was held in Huiyang?"

Xin Xiran smiled first, King Lin'an himself is surnamed Zhuang, and he hates people surnamed Zhuang, so wouldn't he even hate himself. Hearing Qiu Ji ask him again, he continued to shake his head, at that time he had completely forgotten why Qiu Ji was looking for him, but as if listening to a story, he had never heard of these shocking and somewhat unbelievable news.

But Qiu Ji knew all about these news, and he suddenly felt that the latter was not an ordinary person, although Qiu Ji had never behaved ordinary, but he always thought that there was no difference between himself and Qiu Ji except that he was not as smart as him.

But when he saw him today, after the two talked like this, his opinion of Qiu Ji was immediately subverted, and he couldn't even reach half of Qiu Ji, and he even felt that he had never known this person before.

yes, how to understand. I didn't say a word, it's better than a stranger, how to understand. There are some inexplicable emotions in my heart, I just feel that I am a child who has not grown up in front of Qiu Ji, but Qiu Ji is a big man who can already take charge of himself.

"The banquet of Huiyang is that after the news of marriage was spread by the righteous marching army, the six feudal kings discussed together in private, and invited several other princes with foreign surnames to go to the Hongmen banquet in Huiyang. ”

How thrilling this Hongmen banquet is, no need for Qiu Ji to say, Xin Xiran can also think that they must have brought a large number of troops, confronted each other at a table banquet, and even fought and bled a river.

Shiwei vassal king, this battle should not be underestimated, it is a Hongmen banquet, who will really go alone, it must be a bleak state of killing red eyes that day.

He nodded in understanding, but Qiu Ji shook his head instead, "However, this Hongmen banquet has not really been fought, and the key to it is on King Lin'an."

The king of Lin'an and the other five princes discussed with the other five princes to besiege and kill the king of Guangping and his party at the banquet, but the five princes did not expect that the king of Lin'an had already defected, not only secretly communicated the news to the king of Guangping, but even personally raised his sword at the other five princes at the banquet.

The five princes were caught off guard, and the deployment of troops had already been informed to the king of Guangping by the king of Lin'an. ”

Xin Xiran was shocked when he heard it, although he hadn't seen that scene, he could imagine that it must be very intense. "Since the five princes have been suppressed, why didn't the king of Guangping take this opportunity to kill them all, isn't it ----?"

If he was killed, he would have heard such a big news, and there must have been an uproar in Beijing, and he was still wandering around in Beijing a few days ago, but he had never heard such news.

After Xin Xiran finished speaking, he realized that he didn't ask the right question, and when he asked this, he felt as if he wished that someone would rebel, and he hurriedly added: "According to the situation at that time, King Guangping should have won the battle, what happened later?"

Qiu Ji didn't explain first this time, but asked him: "If you are the king of Guangping, what should you do with these five people?"

Xin Xiran was stunned for a moment when asked, and then couldn't help but think about it. If he was asked to answer without thinking, he would definitely say that he would kill him directly, kill one hundred, and solve the five vassal kings at one time, which is great news for the righteous marching army.

But Qiu Ji asked him so seriously, and he pondered for a moment. The ten vassal kings are each in their respective territories, and their influence is not small, they have their own fiefdoms, troops, and supporters, and these five are all relatives of the emperor, if they are killed by a prince with a foreign surname, it is tantamount to -----

His hairs stood on end, "If you kill it, it is equivalent to declaring war on the imperial court, the five princes are all relatives of the emperor, once they are killed, the biggest bloody battle will be set off." ”

Qiu Ji smiled and nodded, "Whether it is the current state of the imperial court or the current strength of the righteous march, it is not enough to bear the biggest bloody battle, and it is possible that this battle will last for at least five or six years, or ten years at most." When the time comes, it will be the common people who will suffer-----"

In fact, not only the common people, but also the imperial court and the righteous marching army, it was a great damage, so before the bloody battle, they must be prepared until they can start this protracted war.

Xin Xiran was still waiting for him to continue, and after waiting for a while, Qiu Ji didn't speak, and couldn't help but look at the latter, Qiu Ji continued: "Therefore, the news spread by the righteous march is the lead, but the banquet of the ten princes is the trigger, the court knows the attitude of the five kings of Guangling, and knows that once the king of Guangling and a few people defect, the court will face a greater hostile force, and naturally someone will propose to recruit troops."

But once the army is recruited, it will inevitably increase the taxes and labor of the common people, and at that time, before the war begins, the common people will suffer first. However, this battle could not be fought for a while. "Before the war is fought, the people suffer first, and in the war, the people still suffer, and the people are still suffering.

Xin Xiran couldn't help but be surprised: "Why can't we fight? Now that the five princes have already determined their positions, and the righteous march has been helped so much, they are almost in equal confrontation with the imperial court, they want to seize power, what are they waiting for?"

Isn't this a good time to recruit troops and horses from each other to accumulate strength? Even the righteous marching army can take advantage of the injection of new forces to hasten attack and occupy the surrounding territories.

Qiu Ji smiled inexplicably and said: "Although it seems that the righteous march has the support of the five princes, the premise is that the king of Guangling and the lord of the righteous march are married.

After all, King Guangling is not a righteous marcher, he is halfway in, he must plan for his future, if he can't marry the lord of the righteous march who may become a royal family in the future, he will have no security.

Therefore, this alliance depends on whether this family affair can be concluded. ”

Xin Xiran saw Qiu Ji's shallow smile, and seemed to be very clear, and he felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, why did he behave like a straw bag after this conversation, but he had an attitude of having everything in his hands.

The so-called friends, in fact, the relationship is also quite delicate, the other party is good, you are happy at the same time, but not happy, because of closeness, it is easy to make comparisons, and once you are worse than the other party, coupled with the close relationship, the mood will become more complicated and sad.

Just like him now, Qiu Ji knows everything, but he doesn't know anything, obviously the two were so good when they were young, why is the gap so big?

I can't help but think of Yao Shi, every time he sees Yao Shi and Qiu Ji squeezing his eyebrows, although there is not necessarily any unknown relationship, but he is just uncomfortable.
