The Royal Palace, in the Royal Garden. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because Chen Liang and Tao Chongjin were suddenly imprisoned, many courtiers did not leave after the court, and the Duke of Southern Zhou Zhenguo and the five princes of Beirong entered the palace at the same time, and the Emperor of Chu did not know why, not only left the two at the same time, but also let them appear at the same time, and led his ministers to discuss the alliance between Southern Chu and the two countries.

Wu Zhengzhi and Huyan Bolai Nanchu have their own thoughts, and Beirong and Dazhou are incompatible, and the two don't like each other.

Especially after learning what happened to the other party in Nanchu, the two almost met each other.

The two sides exchanged words several times, and also vaguely mentioned the alliance, but saw that the Chu Emperor had not responded, but looked at the left and right to say something else, and there was no meaning in the words, and the people on both sides couldn't help but scold the Chu Emperor in their hearts for not seeing the rabbit and not scattering the eagle, and refusing to let go if he didn't see the benefits.

Wu Zhengzhi had to speak: "Your Majesty Emperor Chu, this time I came with sincerity. As we all know, the Southern Zhou and Chu live next to each other, and the land borders each other. Moreover, before I went south to Chu, I told His Majesty that if His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is willing to form an alliance to help each other, he is willing to give the four cities of Antian, Wufeng, Qijin, and Zhangning to the Emperor of Chu, and until he calms down the civil strife in Zhou and the situation is stable, Your Majesty will be even more grateful! ”

Everyone below gasped when they heard this.

Yasuda, Wufeng, Qijin and Zhangning!

The four cities that Wu Zhengzhi said are all important places in the Zhou State, and they are the places where the soldiers must fight, especially Zhangning, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it is close to Southern Chu, but it is extremely difficult to conquer because of the complex terrain of the mountain range. A few years ago, when the friction between the two countries continued, the Emperor of Chu had ordered the general to lead hundreds of thousands of troops but did not capture this city, but he did not expect that one day, Emperor Jiarui of the Southern Zhou Dynasty would actually give it away.

Some Wenchen is okay, they just feel that the Zhou State is really defeated, and they sigh with emotion in their hearts, but the generals like Yu Guogong are all bright-eyed, if it weren't for the Chu Emperor's still existence, they would all be eager to come down for the Chu Emperor immediately.

Emperor Chu watched everyone's reaction, and before he could reply, at the table in Beirong, one person next to Hu Yanbo couldn't help but laugh.

"I still have what great sincerity I promised when Emperor Jiarui, but I don't want to be this, Your Majesty Emperor Chu, this Emperor Jiarui treats everyone as a fool?"

Emperor Chu looked at the person who spoke, and saw that he had a little face, and couldn't help frowning: "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Chu, the third son of my Nanmen family, Nanmen Lie, this time I was ordered to come to Chu with the five princes to discuss the alliance with Your Majesty, but I was unwell during the birthday banquet of Emperor Chu a few days ago, so I couldn't enter the palace. ”

When Emperor Chu heard his name, his eyes moved: "It turned out to be General Lie, your name I have heard of it a long time ago, I heard that General Lie did not lose to your father Nanmen Chong on the march, and your Nanmen family is a general." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty Emperor Chu."

Emperor Chu looked at him and said, "I don't know what General Lie said just now? ”

Nanmen Lie suddenly smiled and said: "Emperor Chu may not know that in the four cities that Wu Guogong said just now, Antian has already rioted, and Wufeng and Qijin are now being attacked by Qin Xiao, the king of Anyue County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they will break the city one day. When the time comes, Southern Chu will take over these cities, I am afraid that it will not be hot, so they will have to send troops to fight with the Northern Zhou first, and use the people of Chu to expel the Northern Zhou army for them, they are really a good calculation. ”

Emperor Chu immediately frowned when he heard this.

Wu Zhengzhi's face changed slightly, he didn't expect this inconspicuous young man to be Nanmen Lie, and he didn't expect him to know so clearly.

Qin Xiao led a large army to attack, with soldiers like gods, Wufeng and Qijin lost sooner or later, and Yasuda was indeed occupied by the mob, he and Emperor Jiarui discussed it and planned to use these unkeepable cities in exchange for the help of the Chu State, once the Chu Emperor sent troops to take over the three cities, it was bound to meet with the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the battlefield was angry, even if the Southern Chu was unwilling, they could only use their strength to share the pressure of the Northern Zhou army step by step.

In order not to make the people of Chu embarrassed and angry after knowing the truth, they also sent Zhang Ning out, even if the Chu Emperor knew that he was being used by them in the future, and he would not be too angry with this city as compensation.

But he didn't expect that before things progressed, he was ruthlessly exposed by Nanmen Lie.

Emperor Chu's face suddenly looked bad after learning what Nan Zhou's idea was, and he frowned and looked at Wuzheng Dao: "Duke Wu Guo, is Emperor Jiarui fooling me?!" ”

Wu Zhengzhi said hurriedly when he heard this: "Don't worry, Emperor Chu, I have no intention of doing this to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Since I don't have this intention, then show the sincerity of wanting to form an alliance, otherwise I will think that Emperor Jiarui is provoking my Southern Chu?" ”

Wu Zhengzhi opened his mouth to explain, but Nanmen Lie directly interrupted him with a smile and looked at Emperor Chu and said: "Emperor Chu, I'm afraid Emperor Jiarui can't show any sincerity at the moment, the confrontation between the North and the South Zhou has been a long time, Emperor Zhengde has been in charge for twenty years, how easy is it for Emperor Jiarui to replace him?" What's more, the Emperor of Chu has formed an alliance with the weak, why don't you listen to the sincerity of our Beirong? ”

Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, looked at Nanmen Lie and said lightly: "General Lie might as well talk about it." ”

Nanmen Lie said with a smile: "Zhou's internal turmoil, the national strength has dissipated, the previous strong Zhou is long gone, no matter how much Emperor Jiarui promised, it must be after he has the ability to unify the Zhou State, but as far as I know, the Southern Zhou is now in danger, the Emperor of Chu and his four cities given by Emperor Jiarui, why don't you simply join forces with my Beirong to jointly send troops to the Zhou State to destroy the Zhou royal family and divide the world of the Zhou Kingdom equally?" ”

After he finished speaking, Hu Yanbo, who was sitting next to him, also looked up at Emperor Chu, and said with a mad color: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, when I came to Chu, my father asked me to tell His Majesty a word, the trend of the Three Kingdoms has become a thing of the past, in this world, there are my Beirong and Southern Chu, you can!" ”

Wu Zhengzhi's face changed drastically, and he slapped the table with anger on his face: "It's just arrogant!" ”

Hu Yanbo squinted at him and said, "Where is the arrogance? Your Zhou country is now divided, not to mention compared with Beirong and Southern Chu, I'm afraid it can't even compare with the nomads in the north, you are just surviving, as long as the Chu Emperor is willing to form an alliance with our Beirong, how difficult is it to destroy the Great Zhou? ”

"Ridiculous!"

Wu Zhengzhi was shocked and angry when he heard Hu Yanbo's words, he turned his head to look at Emperor Chu and said loudly: "Emperor Chu, don't be deceived by his words, let's not say that the century-old foundation of my Zhou State is still there, even if the two countries work together, my Zhou State may not lose, not to mention that once Zhou is dead, the Beirong Iron Cavalry will no longer be blocked, and it will only be a matter of time before the long drive into Southern Chu." Emperor Chu, do you believe that Beirong will really share the world equally with Southern Chu? (To be continued.) )
