When King Qi heard the words behind the prince, he immediately reacted.

Chuzi didn't say that Tian Jia's clansmen would be dissatisfied if they were implicated, according to the rules, Tian Jia's defeat was so big, even if all his clansmen were demoted to concubines, they deserved it.

What really made everyone panic or dissatisfied was that Tian Jia was not the chief general of the reinforcements, but only after Kuang Zhang left, he succeeded Kuang Zhang under the recommendation of the ministers and the acquiescence of the King of Qi.

If the Tian Jiaju clan is implicated, it is likely that everyone will think that the King of Qi is throwing the blame and putting all the responsibility for the defeat on Tian Jia and the ministers, and then the people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate.

At present, the external situation in Qi is very bad, so can there be a situation of fluctuating people's hearts in the country.

After King Qi took two deep breaths, the anger on his face disappeared, and he said with a stiff face: "Xiangguo's words, few people know, but the current situation, how should the widow be good." ”

Chu Zi was silent for a long time before he spoke: "King, Xue Di is irretrievable, the army in Tian Jia's hands is out of control, and the matter of defeating the Chu and Song coalition forces can only be temporarily abandoned." Moreover, an edict was immediately issued to let Shengzi withdraw his troops from Tengdi, so as not to take advantage of the great victory of Chu and Song to raise troops to attack. ”

When King Qi heard this, he sighed for a long time: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, thousands of calculations, all kinds of patience, and in the end the success falls short." ”

The prince looked at King Qi's long sigh and sat silently on the side.

After a pause, King Qi ended his sigh and asked, "The widow now wants to avenge this sword, can Xiangguo teach me?" ”

Chu Zi nodded and said: "Great King, a strong country, if you want to form an alliance with a weak country, you can achieve your goal by sending an army." And a weak country, if it wants to form an alliance with another weak country, only needs to send an emissary, and it can unite to protect itself. Therefore, the minister thought that what we needed to do at the moment was to show weakness to the outside world, highlight the strength of the Chu State, and unite the Three Jins.

First of all, he immediately sent people to make peace with the king of Yue and cut off the city of Ji to show that the Qi country was weak and weak. Then send people to the Wei State, at this time we must stabilize the Wei State, so as not to be isolated and helpless by the Qi State, which will be watched by various countries. In addition, send someone to the country of Zhao and ask the king of Zhao to help. In the end, that is to win over the Qin State again, and now that the filial piety period of the King of Qin is about to expire, he should send someone to discuss the marriage between the King of Qin and the princess. ”

Saying that, Chu Zi arched his hand and said: "King, if you want to defeat the Chu State now, it is too reluctant to rely on the strength of the Qi State alone. Therefore, the help of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State is needed. ”

King Qi nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be left to Xiangguo." ”

Xue Cheng.

On the night of the second day when the Chu-Song coalition army rested.

Xiong Huai had just finished dinner, and saw Jingyang walk in with a strange face: "King, Xue Jun came to give gifts on the order of King Song." ”

"Xue Jun?" Xiong Huai glanced at Jingyang in surprise, this guy has also been around him for a while, Xue Jun came to give gifts, is it necessary to show such a strange face?

Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked: "Now that Xue Jun is already a courtier of King Song, and all the money and grain promised by King Song to the widow have been sent to Chuying, why would King Song still let Xue Jun give gifts?" Jingyang, do you know what kind of gift Xue Jun sent this time. ”

"This..." Jingyang swallowed: "The king knows it when he sees it. ”

Xiong Huai showed curiosity and said, "In that case, please invite Xue Jun in." ”

"Yui."

After a while, Xue Jun walked into the big tent and saluted: "The minister pays homage to the king." ”

"No courtesy." Xiong Huai asked, "I don't know what happened to Xue Jun when he came to see the widow this time?" ”

Xue Jun arched his hand and said: "The king, the ministers have the order of the King of Song, and I am here to give gifts." ”

"Gift-giving?" Xiong Huai asked, "What gift?" ”

Xue Jun waved outside the tent when he heard this, and then Jingyang walked in with ten young women.

Xiong Huai looked at these women, and saw that they were all in good shape, their faces were full of youth, and they didn't seem to be very old.

"King, this is the gift of King Song." Xue Jun saw the eyes of the King of Chu wandering over these women, pointed to these ten women and explained: "Today, the King of Song is preparing to dispose of Tian Wen's concubines and children, and then select the ten best-looking ones from them and send them to the king to enjoy. ”

In these years, there is nothing wrong with what King Song has done.

Moreover, before the King of Song properly settled Tian Wen's wife, wife and children, this can be regarded as the benevolence of the King of Song.

If Tian Wen knew about this, he would definitely be silently grateful to King Song in his heart.

"This..." Xiong Huai looked at the beauty in front of him, compared to the beauties in the Chu Palace, her appearance was already indistinguishable, but her temperament was inferior.

It's just that when I thought that these women were all Tian Wen's concubines and daughters, I suddenly felt excited: "King Song has a heart." Xue Jun, you go back to report to King Song, thank King Song for the widow, and the widow accepted this gift. ”

"Don't dare." Xue Jun saluted and said: "King, when the minister came to Chuying, King Song said that this is what the king deserves." ”

"Hahaha..." Xiong Huai laughed.

After Xue Jun left, Xiong Huai was about to dispose of these women, and then found that Jing Yang's gaze was swirling over these women.

It turned out that Jingyang's face was strange in this place just now, and he thought it was strange for a gift.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai coughed lightly.

Jingyang heard the cough of the king of Chu, came back to his senses, and immediately pleaded guilty: "King, the minister is rude." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Huai smiled: "Color-eating is also human nature. ”

After laughing, Xiong Huai pointed to the two women on the right and said: "These two people stay, the others send one to the head of the Zhu Guo rhinoceros, and leave one for Si Defeat, in addition, you can also pick one yourself." Remember, if Zhu Guo asked, he would say that the widow picked three and rewarded you with one. ”

Jingyang originally wanted to say that he had no merit, but when he heard the latter sentence of King Chu, he didn't shirk it, and immediately said with great joy: "Thank you for your love." ”

Xiong Huai smiled and shook his head.

Returning to the sleeping tent with the two beauties, Xiong Huai looked at the two people of the same age, one was affectionate, his eyebrows were affectionate, and he was faintly happy, while the other was tightly locked, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he was sad and resigned to his fate. One joy and one worry, there is no strange emotion welling up in my heart.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai asked, "Are you in peace with Meng Weijun?" ”

The woman with joy immediately responded: "Back to the king, the concubine is the Li family, and she is the concubine of Xue Gong." ”

The other woman hesitated for a moment before replying, "My lord, the concubine is the concubine of Meng Weijun, the Tian family. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and asked Li Ji on the side: "Xue Gong was defeated and fled, why did you look carefree when you were sent to the widow by King Song." ”

Li Ji said strangely: "In the past, the concubine body was given to Xue Gong by my father, and my father said that it was an honor for the concubine to serve Xue Gong, but now, the concubine body was given to the king by the King of Song, and she can serve the overlord of the world, isn't this a blessing in disguise?" It's too late for the concubine to be happy, why do you feel worried? ”

“···” Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and was speechless for a while, and only reacted after a while: "Yes, you should be happy." ”
