Xiong Huai saw that everyone agreed, so he nodded.

Although there were many twists and turns in the plan of advancing and retreating, but today, the goal has finally been achieved.

The countries besieged the Wei State, the Zhao State first took the initiative to withdraw the troops, and then the King of Zhao came forward to mediate, the Chu State can be said to be benevolent and righteous to the allies, and now the troops are withdrawn, that is because the Chu State is not prepared.

In the coming year, the state of Chu will gather all countries to attack Wei from then on, and even if the countries do not support it, they will not oppose it.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said to Tang Yu: "Si is defeated, and Lao Qing goes to invite King Song, so he says that the widow has something important to discuss." ”

"Yui."

After a short time, the king of Song brought Song Chen to the tent.

After everyone was ready, Xiong Huai asked King Song: "King Song, I don't know if the news from Zhao Guo has received it." ”

King Song nodded and replied: "The widow has received the news from Zhao State, Zhao State has withdrawn the army of Wei Guo because of the Dai Land, and Zhao State has sent someone to explain. At the same time, they also sent people to persuade peace. ”

Xiong Huai said with a cold face: "King Song, the widow is unwilling. Not because of the State of Qi, but because of the State of Wei. Thinking that Wei is not only an ally of Chu State, but also a widow's in-law. In the past, Chu and Wei formed an alliance, and the widow let the prince marry Princess Wei as his wife, and as soon as Princess Wei gave birth, the widow named the son of Princess Wei as the king of Chengyang. ”

King Song was shocked when he heard this.

Listening to the tone of the King of Chu, it seems that the King of Chu is unwilling to accept the mediation of the Zhao State and intends to continue to attack the Wei State.

This...

This was not good for the Song Kingdom.

Initially, the king of Song sold himself to the state of Chu in every possible way, hoping that the state of Chu would not withdraw his troops, because he was afraid that once the state of Chu withdrew, it would be retaliated against by the two countries of Qi and Wei.

Then the countries besieged Wei, and the king of Song, on the one hand, hoped to attack Wei instead of defending, and on the other hand, he also hoped to take advantage of Wei.

As a result, Zhao Guo can be described as eventful.

First the Qin State attacked, then the Daidi was attacked again, and finally, the army of the Zhao State did not even test the attack on the Wei State, and the Zhao State did not die alone, and the Zhao army withdrew.

The Chu-Han coalition army did have results, but it was only limited to the early stage, and since the capture of Anling, there has been no good news from the Chu-Han coalition army.

The same is true of the Song State, as soon as the army left the Song State, it encountered the Wei army led by Cheng Lingjun, and the Song State did not achieve any results, of course, the losses were minimal.

The countries invaded Wei for nearly two months, and the king of Song saw that the Wei state was not defeated, and the king of Wei also carried it to the death without bowing his head, and the Song country fought for a year, which can be described as exhausting.

What's more, now, the siege of Wei by various countries has also knocked down the arrogance of the King of Wei, Wei should not rashly provoke trouble in a short time, and the purpose of Song has also been achieved, and I really don't want to continue fighting.

What's more, it's almost June now, and in another month or two, Song Guo's cultivation this year will be missed.

Thinking about it, King Song hesitated and said, "The king of Chu means that he wants to continue to besiege Wei. ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "The widow has this intention, I don't know what King Song thinks?" ”

“······”

King Song glanced at Xiong Huai and said secretly, if he can, the widow also wants to retire and recuperate!

Seeing that King Song did not reply, Hui Ang walked out from King Song's side and said, "King Chu, the matter of Wei betraying the covenant and attacking my Song Taoyi before is still unforgettable. It's just that before, our Chu and Song countries had already paid a huge price in order to attack the Qi army, and now they are attacking Wei, but they have been blocked in Wei and have not made progress for a long time.

Our Chu and Song dynasties have gone out one after another in the past few years, but Wei has taken the opportunity to rest for several years. Continue to wear down with the Wei State, the minister is worried that the Wei State can still hold on, and our Chu and Song countries will be in a difficult situation, and the Qi State will take the opportunity to repair. ”

Saying that, Hui Ang arched his hand and said: "King Chu, the ministers often hear the way of using soldiers, there is clumsy speed, and they have not seen it for a long time, I hope the king will check it." ”

"This..." Xiong Huai looked at King Song in surprise and said, "Could it be that King Song also means this?" ”

After the King of Song pondered for a moment, he responded: "King of Chu, now the main forces of our Chu and Song countries are pinned down by the Qi and Wei coalition forces, and the army besieging Wei not only did not open the situation, but was also blocked by the Wei army. What the widow is worried about is that now that the Zhao State has withdrawn its troops, if the Wei State does its best to rescue the Wei State, then the widow's partial division in Xiangqiu may not be able to resist enough, so he can only retreat to the country.

Then, if Cheng Lingjun led Wei Wei's troops to rescue Yan Ling, the widow would be worried about being ashamed of the King of Chu. ”

"This..." Xiong Huai was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he seemed to be depressed and sighed: "The King of Song is right, the purpose of this war was originally to deal with the Qi State, but the Wei State suddenly intervened, and then the widows started a war against the Wei State, but because of the lack of preparation before the battle, coupled with the fact that the army besieged Xue Cheng for several months, it was still exhausted and unable to fight again, so that the attack on Wei was delayed and had no results.

Moreover, Chu and Zhao have been friends for more than 100 years, and now King Zhao has no choice but to mediate and persuade peace because of domestic affairs, and King Zhao's face cannot be ignored. Therefore, the widow planned to temporarily withdraw from the army, and after a period of rest, he would go on a conquest. ”

When the King of Song heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "King of Chu, if the next time the State of Chu sends troops to fight against Qi and Wei, whether it is against the State of Qi or the State of Wei, the widow will lead the Song Division to help with all his might." ”

Xiong Huai's spirit perked up slightly when he heard this: "Okay, then it's a word." ”

······

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

Since the countries accepted the mediation of King Zhao and agreed to withdraw from the army, it has been ten days since Xiong Huai returned to Yingdu.

In the past ten days, Zhao Ju, who led the troops to attack Wei, and Chen Zhen, who sent an envoy to Qin, also returned to Yingdu one after another.

Also in the ten days, Xiong Huai was rarely comfortable, there was no war, and he did not meet the ministers, enjoying the family.

Return to the eleventh day of Yingdu.

Xiong Huai summoned all the important ministers of the court.

Looking at the ministers gathered together, Xiong Huai took the lead in asking Chen Zhen, who had returned from the envoy to the Qin State: "Chen Qing, not long ago, the widow asked the Qing to send an envoy to the Qin State to form an alliance with the Qin State to make an appointment to defeat Wei, how did the Qin State reply. ”

Chen Zhen shook his head: "The king, the minister has the trust of the king, not long after the minister arrived in the Qin State, when the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were still discussing, the news of the withdrawal of the Zhao State from the Wei State reached the Qin State, and then, the King of Qin said to the minister that the two countries of Qin and Chu can form an alliance, but the matter of destroying Wei has to be discussed again." ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "That is to say, the Qin State rejected the widow. ”

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Xiong Huai shook his head, not angry, paused, and said to Jing Li: "Ling Yin, since the Qin State intends to form an alliance with the Chu State, then the widow cannot live up to the good intentions of the Qin State. Not long after, August 15, isn't it the day after King Qin marries Princess Qi? ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Then we will send someone to the Qin State to try to announce the news of our alliance between Qin and Chu to all countries in the world during the period of King Qin's wedding, or shortly after King Qin's wedding." ”
