But why bleed to get the city that you can ask for?

Therefore, Qi Guo first gave Xiang Liang plan one, and when plan one could not be completed, plan two was used.

Shusun Tong left after explaining some things to Xiang Liang, and the Qi State and the Xiang family secretly reached an agreement.

After reaching an agreement, Shusun Tong immediately returned to Yingqiu.

Chu State, Yingdu, Huang Xie's Mansion.

Huang Xie's mansion can be said to be very luxurious, although it is not as luxurious as the Chu Palace, but it is opposite the Chu Palace, and the courtiers can sit to this point, and they have reached the limit of power.

The ministers of the court, afraid of Huang Xie, not afraid of the Chu Emperor, this is the current scene of the Chu State, Huang Xie can be said to be in the court of the Chu State, reached the peak of the height, throughout the history of this era, no one is a courtier, to reach the height of Huang Xie.

Even the emperor of Great Chu, 'Xiong Dang', saw Huang Xie and had to call him, Huang Gongzi, it can be seen that Huang Xie's power, of course, although Huang Xie reached the peak, he did not dare to usurp the throne.

The main reason is that he is afraid of the military strength of the Xiong family and the power of Xiong as a foreign relative, which are two big hidden dangers that Huang Xie cannot solve, but he also peeks into the emperor's position.

After all, who doesn't want to sit on the throne of the emperor? There was no way before, if he dared to usurp the throne before, then the Xiong family's foreign lords and the Jing family's relatives must raise the Qingjun side to solve Huang Xie.

But he took the advice of his disciple Li Yuan and dedicated Li Yuan's sister to the emperor of Chu, and when he dedicated it to the emperor of Chu, Li Yuan's sister had had a pleasure with Huang Xie before.

And Xiong Dang, the emperor of Chu State, was already pregnant when he was admonished, and it can be said that Xiong is now a concubine, pregnant with Huang Xie's child.

It can be said that Huang Xie has already implemented a strategy to seize the throne of Chu in the Chu State, and when his child became the emperor, he joined forces with his own children to destroy the Jing family and the Xiong family, and then it was his Huang family who would rule the world.

At this time, the courtiers stood in Huang Xie's hall, and generally in the court of Chu State, if there was no court meeting, they all came to Huang Xie for a meeting, so it can be said that Huang Xie was already an empty emperor.

If the state of Chu is not a feudal system, maybe Huang Xie can directly let the emperor take the throne, but the state of Chu is a feudal system, although the court is empty, but the Xiong family is huge, and in various fiefdoms, there are such huge garrisons.

Moreover, the Jing family is not a small family, holding the elite of the Chu State, and at the same time marrying each other in alliance with the Nanban, there are the elite of the Chu State under their hands, and there are also Nanban soldiers.

Because of their sitting, although Huang Xie controls the court, it is very difficult to get the real power of Chu State, and what Huang Xie is doing now is nothing more than trying his best to maintain the unity of Chu State, many small nobles, and some middle nobles, they have taken refuge in Huang Xie.

But the big nobles, such as the Jing family and the clan Xiong family, did not sell Huang Xie's account at all, but because Huang Xie was in the court, they still symbolically supported Huang Xie, as long as Huang Xie tried his best to maintain the position of the Xiong family emperor, they were willing to recognize Huang Xie's identity.

For the Xiong family, as long as the Xiong family is the emperor, it is fine, and when Huang Xie dies, it is not a problem for the Xiong family to regain control of the court.

Although Huang Xie controlled Xiong Dang, after all, his relatives were from the Jing family, and there were also close ministers sent by the Jing family beside Xiong Dang, plus he Huang Xie was indeed domineering, which made Xiong Dang complain a lot about Huang Xie.

After all, the status is high, and there is no one around you who can oppress you, this momentum, this thing, is more or less domineering.

Xiong Dang has also complained many times in the palace, is Huang Xie the emperor, or is he the emperor?

The current Xiong Dang is no longer a little doll who has just begun to succeed to the throne, and has begun to learn *** things.

He wrote to the Jing family many times and wrote letters to the clan, hoping that they would send people to get rid of Huang Xie, but these people had to let Huang Xie go for the sake of Dachu.

After all, Huang Xie is gone, and the unity maintained by this Great Chu may be gone, and if the Qi State takes advantage of the weakness to enter, it may be difficult for the Great Chu to survive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the purpose of the Xiang family's desire to live in Ancheng?" Huang Xie looked at everyone and said, Huang Xie did not immediately agree to the Xiang family's request, after all, he also felt that the Xiang family could not do useless things, this Ju'an City must have extraordinary secrets, but he couldn't guess what secrets, he could only ask everyone and let everyone answer him.

These ministers looked at each other, and at this time, one of them stood up and said: "This Ju'an City is very close to the territory of the Xiang family, and this place is connected to the core city circle of Jingbei, I think the Xiang family wants this city, and in the future, it may want the entire core city of Jingbei!" ”

"Take Ju'an City as the foundation and seek to seize the entire Jingbei!" This courtier said to these people, as for whether this place has anything to do with the Qi State, they have not thought about it at all.

Because no matter how they look at it, they can't see what this place has to do with the Qi State, after all, it does not border the Qi State, even if the Xiang family really wants to unite with the Qi State, it will have to be opened, and the city they are asking for cannot be a city.

And Huang Xie laughed out loud when he heard it: "With the Xiang family, dare to take over the entire Jingbei?" ”

And at this time, a person stood up again and said: "Gongzi can't underestimate the Xiang family, the Xiang family once almost broke through Xianyang of the Qin State!" ”

"The garrison of Jingbei is my henchman and under my control, and there is nothing wrong with giving Xiang Liang this place!" Huang Xie said lightly.

In fact, Huang Xie also has his own thoughts, the north of Jingbei is the Qi State, and if the Qi State attacks Jingbei of their Chu State, they can also let the Xiang family support.

At the beginning, South Korea occupied Jingbei, and later the Chu State recaptured Jingbei, but because of the intervention of the Qi State, although the Chu State occupied a large area of Jingbei, there were still some Jingbei fortresses that were not obtained.

Now that the Qi State has annexed Korea and occupies the northernmost marginal fortress of Jingbei, he feels that it is very likely that the Qi State will launch a war against the Chu State from here and seize Jingbei.

Of course, Huang Xie thinks so, and he has a reason, because taking Jingbei Road is very close to Yingdu, after all, if you march from the east, or from Hezhong County, and attack Yingdu, the distance is relatively far.

And he wants to send a large number of garrisons to Jingbei County, but the Jing family and the Xiong family have a certain number of troops, and they are unwilling to divide the troops, after all, once they are divided but go out, this person may be in the hands of Huang Xie.

Of course, if you give up the right to garrison Jingbei, we can send people, but how can Huang Xie easily give up the right to garrison Jingbei.

He gave up this land, in fact, he wanted the Xiang family to transfer troops to strengthen the garrison of Jingbei County, of course, he didn't know that the Xiang family had reached an agreement with the Qi State.

On the contrary, he thought that the Xiang family asked him for this land with the intention of surrendering.

Of course, the reason why he didn't suspect that this land had something to do with the Qi State was mainly because if the Xiang family wanted to seize this land, they could send troops to seize it.
