"Sir's words, can you be serious?" Xiang Liang looked at his uncle and asked.

"There is no preface, as long as the Xiang family rejects Qin Chu and submits to my Qi country, my Qi country is the umbrella of the Xiang family, whoever makes a move against the Xiang family is the enemy of my Great Qi Empire, and my Great Qi Empire will definitely not let him go!" Shusun Tong looked at Xiang Liang and said.

Xiang Liang was moved, because Shusun Tong's conditions were too tempting, originally he wanted to simply take revenge on the Qin State, but the condition that Shusun Tong gave him was that he could continue to rule this land.

Although the title has been reduced to a duke, he will not be a king, but what does this mean to him? He has soldiers here, and the rule of this land is not small, even if it is a duke, as long as Qi Xiaobai of Qi State agrees, he is also the king here.

He didn't expect that Qi State would be able to give him such generous conditions, he didn't doubt Shusun Tong's words, because it didn't make sense for Qi State to deceive him, because as long as Qi State helped him at this critical moment, he would be willing to surrender to Qi State and be willing to move his family to Yingqiu to become a Qi minister.

He also knew that Qi Guo also knew this, but Qi Guo did not do this, but gave him another promise, it can be said that this promise of Qi State is a promise that Xiang Liang cannot refuse.

Uncle Sun Tong looked at Xiang Liang, waiting for Xiang Liang's answer, since he learned about the Xiang family, and after adding the promise made by Qi Xiaobai, Uncle Sun informed that this trip came to the Xiang family, and the task had basically been completed.

As for why this task is difficult to complete, this is mainly because you have to be careful of the soldiers in the land of Qin and Chu, and there are some spies, once they are discovered by the spies, then this task is basically in vain.

As for sending a small soldier, the pawn came to the Xiang family to carry out this task, this level was not enough, and it was impossible to gain the favor of the Xiang family.

In any case, the Xiang family is also a prince, you sent a little minion, is this to put the Xiang family in your eyes? What about your sincerity?

And for such an important matter, let a small person come, people will deeply doubt the credibility of his promise.

But Shusun Tong is different, after all, he is the head of Jixia School Palace, and he is Zhongqing, and he is also a well-known figure in the world as he is a Confucian sect, and as the power of Qi is getting bigger and bigger, Shusun Tong's reputation is also getting bigger and bigger.

It can be said that Shusun Tong has become the first person under Shangqing, and many people speculate that Shusun Tong may become the Shangqing of Qi in the future.

However, Shusun Tong does not have much interest in becoming a Shangqing, or in other words, if the disputes in the world do not end, he may never become a Shangqing.

Who are the people who are the ministers now, they are all people who are good for the war and the situation, although his uncle Sun Tong is a talent, but he also has self-knowledge, his own talent is not the slightest benefit to the current situation, and he also knows nothing about the war.

Although he understands some warfare, tactics, and strategy, he is far from Shangqing's character.

Whether it is Feng Tan and Tian Ji, they are all proficient in war and strategy, and it is natural for them to sit in that position, and although Zhang Tianshang does not understand tactics and strategy, and does not understand the situation very well, but people will accumulate money, which can bring huge funds and materials to Qi State, and at the same time, in times of war, Zhang Tianshang can stably guarantee the logistics of Qi State.

Therefore, in the war, although Zhang Tianshang does not understand the situation, strategy, and tactics, he is advantageous to the war, and it is indispensable.

After all, there is a shortage of people, money, and materials on the front line, and Zhang Tianshang will bring them to you, which is also a point that Qi Xiaobai values Zhang Tianshang very much.

Of course, this is also Zhang Tianshang's foothold, and there is no one in the current Qi Kingdom who can replace him.

Qi Xiaobai is also helpless in this regard, Zhang Tianshang is greedy, but he is indeed an irreplaceable person, but although Zhang Tianshang is greedy, Qi Xiaobai can also accept it, after all, when Qi Xiaobai needs money, Zhang Tianshang will contribute all his family funds.

But this kind of person is not very good for the atmosphere of Qi to govern the world in the future, but now Qi Xiaobai is thinking about reunification, and the matter of the atmosphere can only be thought about in the future.

Xiang Liang looked at his uncle and Sun Tong and said: "With Mr.'s guarantee, I, Xiang Liang, believe it, and I, Xiang Liang, will start a book today and be inseparable from the state of Chu!" ”

And Shusun Tong waved his hand and said: "Don't use it yet, Your Majesty doesn't want to go to war yet, and the Xiang family still needs to develop!" ”

"After all, once the war starts, if the two countries of Qin and Chu are flanked, with the current resources of the Xiang family, it will be difficult to survive for as long as three months!" Shusun Tong looked at Xiang Liang and said.

Although the Xiang family seems to be powerful, it is actually fat, once the two countries of Qin and Chu attack from both sides, it is bound to destroy the Xiang family, and it can be said that the Xiang family can last for three months at most.

Once the Xiang family directly rejected the proposal of the Chu State, it can be said that the war will inevitably break out in an instant, and the Qin army stationed in Wuguan, as well as the Chu army next to it, will inevitably launch an attack on the Xiang family in an instant.

At that time, even if Qi Guo wanted to save it, I am afraid it would be difficult to rescue.

After listening to Shusun Tong's words, Xiang Liang was silent, because what Shusun Tong said was not wrong, once the war started, Qin and Chu would inevitably take the Xiang family, and the Xiang family could only survive for three months, and this was too much.

He looked at his uncle and grandson: "Please give me advice!" ”

"There is no need to refuse Chu State first, and there is no need to promise Chu State and ask for benefits for Chu State!" Then Shusun Tong pointed to the map on the side and said, "Ask for Ju'an City!" ”

"This time it is not very far from the Xiang family's control range, and it does not have much strategic significance for the Chu State!"

"But this city is very close to Jingbei County!"

"Once the Xiang family is attacked by Qin and Chu, and the army retreats here, our Qi Congress will attack Jingbei on a large scale, and we can join the Xiang family within three months!" Shusun Tong looked at Xiang Liang and said.

Ju'an City is a meaningless city, it is not a granary, and it has no strategic significance, it is just a small city, this city is some distance from the core of Jingbei, and at the same time some distance from the Jingbei frontier, but it is a flat place on the road connecting the Jingbei frontier.

It can be said that once the Jingbei border defense of the Chu State is lost, the Qi State can send a large number of cavalry to the Ju'an City to transport grain and grass to the Xiang family.

With the granary, the Xiang family's combat effectiveness will inevitably be improved, and it is definitely not a problem to carry out a counteroffensive, or to contain some of the forces of the Qin State.

Moreover, Qi Guo judged that as long as Xiang Liang went to ask Chu for this city, Chu would definitely give it, because this city did not have the slightest strategic significance for Chu State, and it was very worthwhile to give it to the Xiang family, but to win over the Xiang family.

Of course, Qi actually has a second plan, that is, during the war, the Xiang family attacks Ju'an City, in the judgment of Qi State, if the Xiang family is determined to attack this city, it will be broken in a month at most.
