In the palace of King Chu, there was silence.

Everyone was waiting for the words of the King of Chu. But the King of Chu in front of them seemed to be thoughtful, thinking about other things.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and reported to the king of Chu.

"My king, now the princes of the nations, everyone is arranging for merchants to buy a large number of papers. Shall we send someone there too? ”

Only then did the king of Chu come back to his thoughts.

She said, "Why bother to buy it? The widow hasn't been to Luoyi for a long time, and now it's time to go to Luoyi. ”

The ministers below were shocked.

"Even if you buy a piece of paper, is it necessary for my king to go in person?"

King Chu swept his eyes coldly.

"Why, the widow is going, which of you has an opinion?"

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Don't dare." It's just that although this paper is important, it can already complete the task by arranging for the businessman to go. ”

"Now all the princes and kings have not gone to Luoyi, if my king goes, it seems to show that my king attaches too much importance to paper, and some have surrendered his identity."

"You don't have to worry. In fact, the widow did not go to Luoyi in the name of buying paper. King Chu said lightly.

"Then let's go to Luoyi?" The courtiers were puzzled.

"Doesn't the Zhou royal family still have Jiuding? Now that the state of Chu is strong, the widow skirt wants to see the weight of their Jiuding. The King of Chu still had a cold face.

"My king, the weight of the nine trips, the princes can't ask!"

"Can't the princes ask? The widow is not a prince. "The King of Chu is playing with the jade in his hand." It's time to give it a try. ”

……

Lu State, the capital.

Jiang Shen took the army and rested in Qucheng for a few days, and came to the capital of Lu State.

Seeing this urban building with the atmosphere of the Central Plains from a distance, Jiang Shen sighed with emotion.

He hadn't seen this kind of building in the Central Plains style for too long.

Since Haiguo cut off its tribute to the Zhou royal family, basically all Rao's life has been confined to Zheng, the original three cities of Haiguo

Border countries, resting on their laurels.

The sea country has forgotten the other countries in this land, and the other countries have long forgotten that there is such a country on the coast of the East China Sea.

Once upon a time, Lu Zixu sent an envoy to the country of Lu, and the Duke of Lu even thought about it for a while before he remembered that there was a country called Haiguo.

Even if he remembered it, he was still ashamed to speak out and disdain to make a deal with Haiguo.

But now, that has changed.

Today's Lu Guogong is respectful to the sea country and full of admiration for the king.

Although the surrender of the Lu State to the Sea State is because the Lu State will inevitably not be able to withstand the joint attack of the Qi State and the Sea State, the surrender of the Sea State can also ensure that the Lu State is not much different from before, which is far better than being captured by the Qi State.

It may be that the Sea State only relied on the checks and balances of the Qi State and the Lu State to take down the territory, and it was not completely dependent on its own coercion.

But it is already a miracle that an original kingdom can be torn between two countries that are famous among the princes!

Therefore, Jiang Shen's admiration for the king is increasing day by day.

It is even more ridiculous to be rebellious at that time.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the king, his so-called rebellion is in the eyes of the king, the child is playing like a family......

Jiang Shen shook his head slightly.

Although at this time, relying on the contradiction between the two countries of Qi and Lu, the sea country can make a profit.

But he believed that when the two countries of Qi and Lu were swallowed and the Haiguo became one of the most famous powers among the princes, there would always be one, and the Haiguo could also rely on its own strength alone, which would make it difficult for other countries to resist!

"General, the handover of the entire Lu country has been completed. This is the information of the population, land and other resources of the city of Lu, you have seen it below. Sun Bin reported some materials.

Jiang Shen smiled and waved his hand. "I have always been relieved that the military adviser does things. I just don't know what happened to Tian Xiu's side? ”

Sun Bin said: "What else? I've been waiting to take over the territory of the Lu Kingdom. ”

Jiang Shen nodded.

This Tian Xiu is really delusional about this matter.

He just took the entire territory of Lu and then gave it to Qi as a reason, but Tian Xiu waited day and night to take over Lu State.

It is true, the conquest of the nations has now gone from hegemony to the stage of destroying the country, who will easily give away the territory that has been defeated?

It seems that the king's previous handing over all the territory to the Qi State was just a trick. Now, he's about to tear the veil!

"Military Division, how many soldiers and horses have come from Qi State to conquer Lu State this time?"

Sun Bin said: "The State of Qi attaches great importance to taking the State of Lu this time, so basically two-thirds of the troops are in the State of Lu, and they are still elite soldiers. ”

Jiang Shen nodded, and thought: "If we take advantage of Qi Guo's inattention at this time and catch him off guard with a backhand, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Sun Bin replied: "Actually, it is not much difficulty to fight back to Qi State. After all, the troops left by the Qi State are few and of poor quality. ”

"But the Qi army that is still in Lu at this time cannot be ignored."

"At this time, it's just because Tian Xiu believes that we will give him the country of Lu, so there are not many variables in the army under his command. But if they knew that we were going to counterattack, they would definitely fight us in Lu first. ”

"It's not that we can't beat him, it's just that the risk is greater. Even if we win the battle against the Qi army stationed in Lu State, our army will suffer a lot of losses, and give the army remaining in Qi State some time to react, and then counterattack Qi State, it will be unfavorable to us. ”

After Jiang Shen heard this, his brows furrowed, but he suddenly smiled.

"The military advisor has thought about this problem so thoroughly, it seems that the solution should be in your head."

Sun Bin also smiled. "It's been so long, and the general has finally gotten used to the way I speak. Just wait for you to ask me about this solution! ”

Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows: "? ”

"The Qi army stationed in the Lu State is also good. Didn't the general invite Tian Xiu to discuss the issue of taking over the Lu State? Take this opportunity to deceive a Tian Xiu's order to change the equipment of the Qi army. Sun Bin said.

"Change gear?" Jiang Shen was puzzled.

"Yes. Send the order down and ask them to change their equipment at the designated location. Before entering the armory, he naturally had to hand over the original weapon, so he naturally disarmed. Sun Bin smiled, "They have no equipment, can they still stop us from returning to fight the Qi Kingdom?" ”

Jiang Shen gasped.

"Strategist, can you come up with such a black solution?"

"While pretending to negotiate with Tian Xiu, he secretly confiscated the weapons of the Qi army?"

The corners of Sun Bin's mouth rose: "How can you steal the war?" ”

"General, how is it, tonight, can you invite Tian Xiu to dinner?"

Jiang Shen nodded, feeling excited.

Tonight, it is the clarion call for the Sea Kingdom to attack the Qi Kingdom!
