Chapter 373: Lobbying

Seeing that King Yue's face changed, Tang Yu immediately continued: "In order to prevent King Yue from taking a trip in vain, the widow intends to cede the five cities in the east of Huaibei near the Yue Kingdom to the Yue Kingdom. โ€

"Five cities!" King Yue's face improved slightly when he heard this.

It's just that compared to Huaibei, the king of Yue cares more about Huainan, and now the capital of Yue is in Wucheng south of the river, and Huaibei is a little far away. What's more, the Guangling City of Chu really made Yue Guo uncomfortable.

More importantly, in the past few years, the state of Chu has been moving the people of Huaibei to Huainan, and it can be said that the people in the counties of Huaibei are almost half less than ten years ago, especially the places that the state of Chu has obtained from the state of Qi in the past two years, and there are not many people who have basically been evacuated by the state of Chu.

Compared with the rich Xue Di, the five cities of Huaibei...

This is not enough.

Thinking about it, King Yue shook his head in embarrassment: "This..."

Seeing this, Yue Meng immediately spoke: "Tang Zi, is the King of Chu looking down on our Yue Kingdom?" โ€

"Misunderstanding, this is a big misunderstanding!" Tang Yu flatly denied it.

Yue Meng ignored this, and said to himself: "The reason why the widow personally led the Yue army here was because he thought that the king of Chu wanted to seek justice for the people of the world, so he sent troops to attack the perverse Qi State. Is it just a matter of coveting land? โ€

Yue Meng shook his head and said: "No, if our country covets land and sends troops when the Qi country suffered last year, why wait until now." โ€

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ Tang was speechless.

Could it be that last year's secret visit to Chu by Gongshiyu was a delusion?

As a result, the widow came in response to the slogan of the king of Chu, but the king of Chu planned to attack Xuedi. Xue Di is Xue Gong's territory, although Xue Gong is attached to Qi State, but it is not the territory of King Qi after all, how can attacking Xue Di make King Qi succumb? โ€

"Could it be that the king of Chu saw that the Qi army was holding on and was invincible, and he coveted the wealth of Xuedi, and was worried about the strength of Qi, so he deliberately asked Yue to come to contain Qi, so that Chu could take Xuedi lightly?"

Tang Wu heard that Yue Guo was not satisfied with the conditions just offered.

So he arched his hand and said, "King, this is a great misunderstanding." It's not that the state of Chu is greedy for the wealth of Xue Di, and is unwilling to attack the fortified Tancheng, but is thinking about the two countries of Chu and Yue! โ€

"The last time he besieged Zhongwu City, the widow has always been haunted and deeply ashamed, so in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, he avoided Tancheng and attacked Xue Di."

"For Xue Di, the widow has decided not to give an inch of land to the Song Kingdom, how can he covet the wealth of Xue Di!"

"What?" King Yue was taken aback, and hurriedly spoke: "This is true, the King of Chu actually plans to give up Xue Di and hand over all Xue Di to the Song State?" โ€

King Yue and Yue Meng glanced at each other, and they were all shocked.

The king of Chu didn't want Xue Di, and then planned to send five cities to Yue, just so that Yue could contain the Qi army.

What's in it for the state of Chu?

Could it be that the king of Chu is really a good contemporary person?

King Yue shook his head, if the King of Chu was such a self-sacrificing person, he would directly abdicate the throne.

Thinking about it, he asked Tang Fu: "Dare to ask why?" โ€

Tang Yu saw that the king of Yue asked, of course he would not tell the Yue country, the state of Chu will attack the country of Yue next year, and the king of Chu is worried that he will not be able to defend the Xue land next, so he plans to use the snow land as bait to make the two countries of Qi and Song disagree.

Instead, he explained:

"King, the art of war is cloudy, strike first, not control others."

"Now that the State of Qi is ready in Tancheng, if you want to conquer Tancheng, the price that Chu and Yue have to pay is too great, and this is because they are controlled by people. Therefore, for the sake of Chu and the plan of Yue Guo, it is better to avoid the real and attack the false, attack Xue Di, and attack what it must save, so as to mobilize the Qi army. โ€

"In this way, the eastern part of Qi is empty, and this is the opportunity for our Chu and Yue countries."

King Yue was stunned, and then hesitated: "Mobilize the Qi army? โ€

"But Xue Di is not the territory of the King of Qi, if the Qi army is unmoved and sticks to the east, what will happen?"

Tang Yu said with a smile: "Of course, it is a strong attack on Xue Di, as long as Xue Di is taken, then Lu and other countries are in the pocket of our coalition army, at that time, the Chu and Song coalition forces will march east from Xue Di, borrow the road from Lu State, and take Jucheng directly, then the 200,000 troops deployed by Qi State south of Jucheng will become rootless trees and will be self-defeating." โ€

King Yue showed a look of shock, if it was according to what Tang Yu said, then the Qi State would be greatly damaged, and the territory south of the Great Wall of Qi State, I am afraid that except for Jucheng, all other places will not be able to be saved.

After a pause, King Yue thought about it again and again, as if he was very curious, and said, "If the Qi army is really mobilized, what if it goes to the aid of Xue Di?" โ€

To tell the truth, for a moment, King Yue's heart moved.

In other words, can the Yue State go all out and drag all the main forces of the Qi army in the east, so that the Chu and Song coalition forces can successfully break through Xuecheng, and then move eastward?

After two breaths, King Yue dispelled this thought.

150,000 Vietnamese troops attacked the city defended by more than 200,000 Qi troops, and his brain was not kicked by a donkey.

Besides, the first issue that the Yue country needs to be careful about is not the question of whether it can hold back the Qi army, but the question of how the Yue country can protect itself if the Qi army sees that the Vietnamese army is alone, and intends to solve the problem of how the Yue country can protect itself if the Vietnamese army with less power is solved first.

Therefore, this is the painting cake of the Chu State, this is the bait of the Chu State, and it must not be believed...

On the other side, hearing King Yue's inquiry, Tang Yu smiled: "If the Qi army rescues Xue Di, if it is less than 100,000, our country will be wiped out, and if it is a Qi army below 150,000, then our Chu army will first fight a decisive battle with the Qi army that comes to help." If 150,000 Qi troops come to help, then our Chu army will hold back this part of the Qi army. โ€

"At that time..." Tang Yu said meaningfully: "The so-called virtual and real, real and virtual, virtual and real, real and virtual." If the 100,000 Qi army stays in the east to defend, then with the power of the king, he can immediately turn the virtual into reality and seize the city of Qi to the north. โ€

King Yue was stunned, and did not answer Tang Yu's question, but asked, "Then what does the Chu State plan to want?" โ€

Tang Yu straightened his face and said undoubtedly: "The condition of the widow is that the three kingdoms swear an oath to fight against the Qi State together. Afterwards, Xue Di returned to the Song Dynasty, Tancheng Jucheng and other cities, which was the goal of the widow, as for the eastern Xiangcheng and Langya, the former capital of the Yue Kingdom, all of them were returned to the Yue Kingdom. Moreover, in the future, when the Kingdom of Yue attacks Jucheng, the Song Kingdom of Yue must send troops to help, I wonder what the King of Yue thinks? โ€

Before the words fell, over there, a trace of fire flashed in the eyes of the child's hoof opposite Tang Wu.

Not to mention other places, Langya City is the old capital of the Yue Kingdom, if this battle can recover Langya City, with such a merit, how can Gongzi Yu compete with him.

Thinking about it, a flush instantly appeared on Gongzi's face, and he looked at King Yue excitedly.

Tang Yu has been paying attention to the movements of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom while speaking, and he is overjoyed to see the son's hooves showing such a form. Then, seeing that Yue Meng did not react at all, he looked at King Yue.

And King Yue did not react, and was in silence.

Langya City used to be the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and for the Yue Kingdom, this has always been the knot in the heart. And Xue Cheng, this is the current henchman of the Song Kingdom. As for Tancheng Jucheng, this is the most important and wealthiest place in the Qi Kingdom.

The three countries each took what they needed, and they all got what they wanted, and it seemed perfect...
