Just when everyone hesitated. The high man said in the demeanor of a great power: "In this way, the matter is easy to discuss." Since the king of Chu is willing to back down, how about taking out Zhongli on the Chu-Yue border? The disputed areas are still under their previous jurisdiction, and our Vietnamese troops can directly retreat. ”

Zhongli, this city is not big, it is not small, the geographical location is extremely important, in the past when Wu Wangfu attacked the Chu State, this city is the most important, and it is close to the Central Plains, if it is obtained by the Yue State, the hegemony of the Yue State is probably a few points stronger in the Central Plains. There are tens of thousands of Chu people in the city, and there are large and small villages scattered nearby, if this city is donated to the Yue State, the loss to the Chu State is not small.

Xiang Guang, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, his face was slightly ugly, and he was a little ugly: "The Prime Minister won't laugh anymore, right?" Use land to exchange land for the city, you are a little shrewd in your calculations. ”

The high one, not in a hurry, said directly: "If this is the case, then the people of the former Wu State are left in the territory of your country, how should this be calculated?" In the past, I was the king of Goujian, but I amnesty the people of Wu State, and all the people left over from Wu State in the world are all the people of Yue State. In this way, the loss of my Yue Guo is not small! Don't forget that when the state of Wu was strong, it was fertile for thousands of miles, and the territory went directly into the depths of your Chu country. Tang, Shen, Yangcheng, Shouchun and other places. That used to be the territory of Wu State! When you destroyed Wu, you also reaped a lot of benefits, and after just one bell left the city, did you have any reluctance. ”

Mi He stood up and bowed his head and said: "I hope that the Prime Minister can talk about the matter, whether it is the territorial division of Zhongli or Shouchun, it has been clearly stipulated before, but now it is a dispute on the southern border and claims the city, which is a bit inappropriate, right?" Yu thought that since there was a dispute on the southern border, it would naturally be based on the southern land as the standard for division, and openly claim the cities close to the Central Plains. ”

The senior man couldn't help but smile and stopped talking. Lu Li on the side, as if he had discussed it, said: "It's good that the place occupied by our Yue country in the southern border area was not small before, and after you forcibly occupied some places, we didn't make any measures at that time, and let you be arrogant in the border area, and now we have directly extended our claws to our homeland of Yue country." Thus, if there is to be restitution, the border must be extended 30 kilometers back. ”

Stretching back 30 kilometers, it is estimated that hundreds of square kilometers of land will be ceded to the Vietnamese state in the area where the disputed area is combined. Although the city was not claimed, the territory to be surrendered was a bit too much.

"30 kilometers, that's a lot of money, isn't it? If it's 20 kilometers, maybe we can still accept it, but at the same time, the local mountains are used as the dividing line, and there are more than 100 square kilometers of land. Trouble the king to worry about it. 30 km, that's a lot. Xiang Guang's expression was also very nervous at this time, he had asked for the city, and now it was 30 kilometers.

Mu Renhe stood up at this time and said: "If it is 20 kilometers, there is something unequal in this border land, as far as the Chu State is concerned, there are some advantages in the border area, if there are still some contradictions, if your Chu State attacks again, then wouldn't these 20 kilometers be taken in vain?" In terms of dividing the territory, should the minister of Chu consider the issue of military reciprocity? Those highlands, the good places of the soldiers, are all under your control, which is not good. ”

Mi He also stood up in time to back down, saying: "In this way, you can change the land, give half of the high land to you, and exchange the same land at the same time." The two countries set up border guards at the same time, you see how it is. ”

Wei Ziheng stood up at this time and said in a colorful voice: "Envoy of the State of Chu, in my opinion, in order to consolidate the friendship between the two countries, there will definitely be trade exchanges in the future. It just so happens that those highlands are close to the river, or else, the rest of the places are 20 miles, and in the high places of the river, how about 25 miles? In this way, it is convenient for the two sides to trade, and the treasured goods of your Chu land and the seaborne goods of our country can be unimpeded. And looking at the other side is not easy to become a point of contradiction, what do you two think? ”

Such a condition is not too much, for both sides, it is more fair and just, but it seems to look at the eyes of these two envoys. For such a division, I still feel a little at a loss. When Mi He was about to theorize again, Xiang Guang hurriedly signaled him with his eyes, and then stood up and said, "In this way, I think it's okay." Vietnam takes a port for trade? Actually, it's not that much. However, our Chu State has always been worried about one place, that is, in the north of the border land, there is a mountain pass about 20 kilometers away, which is very threatening to our Chu State. I wonder if I can transfer it to us? ”

At this time, these words caused everyone to think for a moment, and the pass he said was actually just an extension of a territory for the Yue State, and it was used to suppress an excellent terrain of the Chu State. But for the state of Chu, this mountain pass is inevitably somewhat important, in the past, when Wu Wangfu was attacking, he broke through this pass, and then drove straight in. The state of Chu has almost no danger to defend in the back, and has been passively beaten.

King Yue Bushou also knew the importance of this mountain pass, but he still refused: "In my opinion, Lord Wei's proposal is very good, it is good for both sides, and it will also help future trade." Isn't it too much to ask for another mountain pass? ”

Mi He hesitated for a while, and said: "What King Yue said is, if this is the case, we might as well discuss the specific division in detail, there are several ports of the big river, I don't know which one you need in Yueguo?" As he spoke, he spread out a large map south of the Central Plains. Get ready to start talking.

The prime minister, who was high, stepped forward and immediately began to talk, and several other courtiers also surrounded him and spoke carefully. In terms of the division of some details, the two countries have a lot of rhetoric and arguments, but on the whole, they are still relatively friendly. After an hour's discussion, about 150 square kilometers of land were identified, which was located in the Central Plains, which was not a small place, but in this extremely far south, it was a large area of primitive woods, not only sparsely populated, but also a long way off.

The state of Chu spent such a large price to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, which is actually quite cost-effective. As long as you don't pick the big cities with populations, everything is easy to say. Looking at Yue Wang Bushou's face, with some happy faces, Xiang Guang couldn't be happy? Although this result is already quite reasonable, he always feels that he can get a little more place for the Chu State. But if you think about it carefully, it's helpless, after all, Yue is a hegemonic country, if you don't lower your profile to discuss, I'm afraid the situation will be different, the Yue army on the border is still stationed at the border, and it's just that their general Hua Qi has returned.

Wei Ziheng also expressed his satisfaction with this result, at least from the perspective of fairness, this kind of concession is necessary. However, Yue Wang Bushou was not complacent because of this, and after settling down, this group of envoys from the Chu State, he had to hurriedly carry out the next thing.

Yue Wang Bushou asked a little hurriedly: "Ziheng, do you think this method is feasible?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try? Don't forget you, but the king! He is also just a courtier, and there is nothing wrong with testing him under the pretense of the words of the former prime minister. At the same time, give him a reminder, give him a warning, if he knows, maybe he will sit down and talk to you. Rest assured, I'll be there for you. The prime minister went to settle the group of envoys of the Chu State. Wei Ziheng said with confidence.

Yue Wang is not long, and his heart is still a little hanging. Accompanied by Wei Ziheng, they came to the cemetery outside the city, and under the protection of many soldiers, they saw Hua Qiming worshipping Luosu. For a while, I didn't find out about the arrival of King Yue. The subordinates beside Zhidao reminded him, and Hua Qiming slowly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "King Yue." ”

King Yue Bushou nodded slowly and said, "I also feel very guilty about the death of Prime Minister Luo Su. After dealing with the questions about the envoys of the Chu State, I also feel that I haven't come to visit the old prime minister in the past few days, since you came first, then I might as well come to pay my respects today. ”

Yue Wang Bushou then took some sacrifices handed over by the soldiers next to him, and simply placed them in front of a stone tablet, his voice was quite heavy: "If the prime minister doesn't block it for me, maybe it should be me who is lying here now!" ”

Hua Qiming slowly stood up and patted some dust on his body, as if the tears in the corners of his eyes had not yet dried: "King Yue, there are some things I hope you can understand, I am actually the same as the prime minister, I hope to see you truly become the king of a country." You were a little hard to worry about before. ”

"Actually, I know, Lord Wei personally showed me the edict left by the former king that he obtained from the prime minister. I'm sorry, I misunderstood it before. Now that there is no prime minister in the DPRK and China, I feel quite pressured and time is pressing. I'll take this time today to talk to the general, you to talk about it. I hope you understand me too. "King Yue is not longevity, according to the suggestion put forward by Wei Ziheng before, it is more vague.

Hua Qiming turned around, looked at Yue Wang Bushou and Wei Ziheng, and said, "I know that you want to redistribute military power, so as to weaken my military and political power. Actually, I agreed, although the previous king did not leave me some edicts. But my heart is still the same as the prime minister. Whatever you want, after all, the world will always belong to young people. Yu Renzhi is an excellent general, give him a lot of training, and his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine. As for me, I'm not too young anymore, and maybe in a few years I won't be able to hold this Blood Dragon Silver Spear in my hand. I just hope that when I am still strong, I can still do something for the king of Yueguo. Don't get me wrong, we've never had a rebellious mentality against King Yue. Neither the Prime Minister nor me. ”

King Yue did not live long, standing there in a daze, suddenly moved, his previous childish behavior, felt deep regret, he said quite sadly: "I'm sorry, today I came to worry that the edict of the first king was not left for you, worried that you may have some unwilling to obey the idea, so I tried it." I didn't expect it to be so. It's me who is incompetent. ”

Hua Qi stepped forward to comfort his king: "King Yue, you don't need to be like this, these questions have actually been thought of a long time ago." We've expected that you're going to have this kind of mentality. I have prepared ways to deal with the disease in advance. It's just a pity that the group of people who will be the first king led by the prime minister died in the assassination. I will never forget this hatred no matter what. Such a provocation, our Yue Kingdom will definitely make them pay, if it is really as the rumors say, it was the Qi royal family who did it, I am willing to put on armor and go into battle, and my blood dragon spear can still kill the enemy. Avenge them for the Prime Minister. ”
