Speaking of this, Feng Zhang paused, and then arched his hand: "Great King, sneaking up on allies is an unjust act, destroying neighboring countries and cutting off people's blood and food, this is an unkind act." Although the widow is young, he also knows that he can't. Therefore, he sent a special minister to advise the king not to follow the example of the violent Qi, lest he fall into a situation where the people rebelled and left their relatives and besieged them en masse.

This is what the widow does not want to see. ”

Xiong Huai opened his face, and then didn't say anything.

On the other side, Zhao Yuanlou slowly spoke: "Great King, then Wei is an ally of our country, King Wei is the brother of the widow, the king wants to crusade against the Wei state, although the widow does not bear the situation of the king of Wei being besieged by various countries, but out of trust in the king, he thinks that the king is the virtuous monarch of the world." Therefore, although the widow did not agree to attack Wei with the king, in the face of his brother King Wei's request for help, the widow also reluctantly rejected the King of Wei's request for help, and also persuaded the King of Wei to admit his mistake.

In all these cases, it is not because the widow is ruthless, but because he thinks that the king is a benevolent and righteous king, so he does not hesitate to watch the brotherly country being besieged by various countries.

However, now, what the king has done to the Yue Kingdom has completely exceeded the bottom line that a benevolent and righteous monarch should have, what is the difference between this and violent Qi. ”

As he spoke, Lou slowly bowed solemnly and said: "King, the Qi country destroyed Yan, and the battle situation of the various countries fighting in groups is still vivid. Therefore, we hope that we will not repeat the mistakes of the past, take Qi as a lesson, and withdraw our troops from Vietnam as soon as possible. ”

After Lou finished speaking, the envoys of the four countries spoke together: "Please re-establish the king of Yue and withdraw all the Chu troops stationed in Jiangdong to Jiangxi." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this.

The four countries not only want to let the Chu State spit out the Yue land, but even the Wu land has to spit it out, these four countries have a lot of face.

In this way, isn't the hard work of the Chu State in vain?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's face showed a hint of gloom, but he didn't speak, but gave Chen Zhen a look.

In the face of this situation, it is better to leave the words to the person with a thick face to say.

Chen Zhen nodded, and immediately smiled at the envoys of the four countries: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why our country sent troops to garrison Wu is because our country intends to restore the state of Wu, and the reason why we send troops to Yue is because we are crusading against the puppet king of Yue and planning to set up another Ming monarch, which is definitely not as you think, it is intended to annex the entire Yue country. ”

When Feng Zhang and the four of them heard this, they saw that Chen Zhen was fooling the four countries with the same set of rhetoric that they had used to fool the Song State before, and after glancing at each other, Feng Zhang spoke: "King, if this is the purpose of the Chu State, then now that the Chu army has captured Huiji, it is enough, and please ask the king to withdraw the 200,000 Chu troops in Yuedi."

If the king is worried about the recurrence of the Yue Kingdom, then we, as the allies of the Great King, are also allies of the Yue Kingdom, and we are willing to send troops to assist the Chu people in rebuilding the two countries of Wu and Yue. If the Chu army withdraws and the allied forces enter the two countries of Wu and Yue, it can be shown to the world, the king has no intention of annexing the Yue country, just to teach the Yue country and the Qi country a lesson.

In this way, it can not only wash away the misunderstanding of the people of the world about the king, but also achieve the continuity of the king's survival, not covet the name of benevolence and righteousness of land wealth, and reduce the consumption of the Chu army away from Chu. Isn't that a great thing to count in one fell swoop? ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately sneered.

The four countries have made a good calculation, and in this way, all countries in the world are satisfied. But what about the state of Chu? After the Chu State paid a heavy price, it gained some false fame, and if the four countries of them did nothing, they would harvest the entire Jiangdong.

Doesn't this regard him as a weak and bullying fool?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sneered: "The countries are far away from Jiangdong, and the consumption of sending troops to Jiangdong for thousands of miles is too great. The widow has always been benevolent and righteous, how could he let his allies bear such a big price in order to keep some of his small profits, so if the countries want to reduce the pressure on the widow, there is no need to mention it, and we can afford a small price. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four people suddenly sank, where did the king of Chu say that he was responsible for Jiangdong, and he was clearly saying that he could withstand the threat of the four countries, and he was not afraid that the four countries would betray the Chu country.

Seeing this, the four of them glanced at each other, since the Chu State had already made up its mind to swallow the Yue State, and was not afraid of the threat of the envoy, it had no choice but to threaten with the army.

So, under Lou Yan's initiative, Feng Zhang said: "Since the king's mind has been decided, then the minister has no choice but to go back to report to the widow and say that it is the king's will."

If, a month later, the Chu army did not establish the king of Wu Yue and withdrew from Jiangdong, then the kingdom would think that the king and the king should renounce the covenants with the countries and take the initiative to break off diplomatic relations with the countries. ”

"I hope that the king will think twice, seriously consider the intentions of the four countries of us and others, and don't insist on going his own way." After speaking, Feng Zhang bowed his hand to Xiong Huai: "Farewell." ”

"Farewell!" The other three spoke together.

When Xiong Huai heard this, he said coldly: "Don't send it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, as the envoys of the four countries turned around, the alliance suddenly collapsed.

With the failure of the mediation of the envoys of the four countries, the situation in the world suddenly became tense.

Ten days later.

"The King of Wei, the King of Han and the King of Qin will be outside the Hangu Pass?" Xiong Huai muttered a sentence in his mouth, then looked at Chen Zhen in front of him and asked, "Chen Qing, have you ever found out what the three of them said outside Hangu Pass and what agreement they reached?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "The king, the kings of the three kingdoms jointly announced that the three kingdoms have reached a reconciliation and resumed normal relations. In addition, regarding the matter of sending troops to attack Chu, it seems that the three countries did not reach a specific agreement on the alliance this time.

In addition, according to the spies from Hexi, Gan Mao had led the army back to Xianyang, and before the king of Qin left the customs, he personally went to visit the house of the disease, and then the disease of the disease was cured, and after the king of Qin left Xianyang, he presided over the political affairs of the court. ”

Xiong Huai was slightly stunned by the news of Qin State, and nodded, already knowing it in his heart.

Then, thinking of the matter of the Triple Alliance, he smiled disdainfully: "Presumably, the news of the widow's refusal to intervene by the allies has reached the countries, even if they have not reached an agreement at the moment, they should be under discussion." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai glanced at the north, shook his head again, and said: "However, these three countries alone want to break through the Hanshui defense line of Fangcheng of our Chu State, and they are still insufficient, and they have to add the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao and Song to fight together." The state of Zhao was far away from the state of Chu, and the state of Song was full of contradictions with the two countries of Qi and Wei. Therefore, the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han was not enough to negotiate a feasible way to defeat Chu. It will take some time before various countries send troops to attack Chu. ”

Gongsun Yan shook his head when he heard this, and arched his hand: "King, the art of war is cloudy, and the way to use troops lies in being prepared and attacking unprepared. Although it will take some time for all countries to reach an agreement and attack our Chu State together. However, we also have to beware of countries sending troops to attack in advance. Now that the Qi army has been stationed in Huaibei to confront our Chu army, if the Qin State unites Korea to attack the Chu State at this time, and fights with the Qi State in the east and the west, so that it is not allied and allied, this must not be guarded against. ”
