"Why should I explain?"

But hearing this, thinking of Li Bai's worries again, Wei Wuji shook his head and sneered, "Don't you know that it was Long Xu who was presumptuous and threatened the lives of the people?" ”

"Should I ignore the suffering of the people?"

Snorting, Wei Wuji ordered, "Go and bring the envoy sent by Gao Yan to the guest hall, and I will talk to him personally." ”

"Yes."

Li Bai nodded, and went to ask the messenger.

Wei Wuji walked briskly to the guest hall.

"In the next Zhou Yuan, meet General Wei!" The envoy came to the guest hall and saluted Wei Wuji.

However, his expression was fiercely angry.

It seems that Zhou Yuan already knew the news that their 100,000 Northern Qi army was defeated.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji shook his head and smiled, and then he took the lead and said: "Bold Zhou Yuan, you still dare to be a lobbyist for Gao Yan, is it because I have no one in Chu State?!" ”

Zhou Yuan was originally very angry, but when he was suddenly drunk like this by Wei Wuji, he was distracted on the spot.

Thinking of Gao Yan's entrustment to him before the envoy, he wondered: "Why did the general say this?" ”

Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "Long Xu held the people of my Chu State hostage, and wanted to use the people to blackmail me to force me to fight, I had to teach him a lesson, but... Our people also suffered casualties in that war. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this? ”

"Uh...... I see. ”

Zhou Yuan was stunned, and finally understood why Long Xu's 100,000 army was attacked by Wei Wuji.

But if you think about it carefully, the elite of the Northern Qi Kingdom was lost, and the losses were huge.

And the state of Chu has only suffered thousands of casualties, why does the Northern Qi still have to give an explanation to the state of Chu?

Is that the other way around?

Zhou Yuan calmed down his mood and arched his hand: "General, I really don't know about this matter. When I return to Your Majesty, we will discuss it again. I am here today for the sake of peace between the two countries, and I don't know the general..."

Wei Wuji waved his hand directly: "Before the matter of Long Xu is resolved, the matter of peace will be discussed!" ”

"Uh..."

Zhou Yuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to this.

Just as he was preparing the wording and was about to open his mouth, he heard Wei Wuji say, "The envoy has been fortunate all the way, please go back to the post house to rest first, and we will talk about it when you have the right to decide this matter." ”

While dropping these words, Wei Wuji pretended to be very angry and walked away.

"General..."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly shouted, but Wei Wuji didn't answer him, but left quickly.

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Soon, Zhou Yuan was settled down.

"The lord's trick is really high!"

Seeing this, Li Bai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zhou Yuan is afraid that he will never dare to mention this matter again." ”

"It's not difficult to bluff Zhou Yuan, but Gao Yan... I don't know if he can accept it. ”

Wei Wuji paused, wrote a notebook, and handed it to Li Bai: "You send someone back to Yingdu to see what Your Majesty's opinion is." ”

"Yes."

Li Bai sent the recital to Yingdu.

When Emperor Chu saw this, not only did he not get angry, but he was very happy and excited.

Next to him sat the general Wang Dafu and the prime minister Zhou Xiang.

Wang Dafu arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you happy?" ”

"Wuji is really a genius who leads the troops, and in just one battle, he defeated the 100,000 army of the Northern Qi Kingdom! also captured the Northern Qi general Long Xu alive. Chu Huang laughed.

"Great..."

Wang Dafu and Zhou Xiang both looked happy.

During this time, they had been worried that Wei Wuji had brought 50,000 people this time, while Long Xu had 100,000 elites.

What to do if you can't keep the border.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wuji won easily.

"What pleases me the most is not the outcome of the war. Instead, Northern Qi is willing to form an alliance with us and advance and retreat together, which is a long-term plan. ”

Emperor Chu was excited, patted his leg and said, "With Northern Qi, no one will dare to provoke my Chu State, and the people will be able to enjoy peace forever." ”

The more Emperor Chu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he really praised Wei Wuji.

"It would be nice if Ji'er also had this talent..."

Inadvertently, Emperor Chu remembered his son Chu Ji.

This guy is the crown prince, but he doesn't learn to govern the country, but goes out to travel, which breaks his heart.

Until now, I don't know where I have traveled and never returned.

Fortunately, Wei Wuji is loyal to the State of Chu and can be reused.

In other days, once the crown prince inherits the throne and is assisted by Wei Wuji, he will definitely make the state of Chu stand tall in the world.

"Your Majesty, can you let the ministers also look at the transcript?"

Prime Minister Zhou Xiang suddenly said loudly.

"Look."

Emperor Chu shook his hand and gave the recital to Zhou Xiang.

After Zhou Xiang saw it, he was suddenly surprised: "Your Majesty, this recital says that before that battle, the concubine and Gao Yan, the prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom, made an appointment to negotiate peace and form an alliance. After that, the horse went to Yidu and helped Gao Yan ascend to the throne. ”

"This is originally an excellent thing, Gao Yan owes the horse a favor, and he will definitely form an alliance with my Chu State."

"However, after the horse returned to Wancheng, he killed tens of thousands of Northern Qi troops, which... Can Gao Yan agree? ”

Zhou Xiang looked hesitant and said, "He ...... now." But how could the monarch of Northern Qi suffer such a great humiliation? ”

Wang Dafu also stepped forward and read the recital, but he understood the doorway.

"Zhou Xiang, you only said that the horse killed tens of thousands of Northern Qi troops, but you didn't say why the horse did this?"

Wang Dafu looked at Zhou Xiang meaningfully, "In the notebook, it is also written very clearly, it is Long Xu who provoked the line, and used the people of my Chu State to threaten him, and the horses were in order to rescue the people, could he not order the battle?" ”

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "Even so, the Northern Qi Kingdom ...... I won't give up, after all, there are 100,000 casualties! ”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, swept Wang Dafu and Zhou Xiang, looked at Zhou Xiang, and suddenly asked, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Xiang replied: "The minister thinks... In order to show our country's sincerity, we should take the initiative to send people to Northern Qi to negotiate and resolve this matter. ”

"If necessary, we can give some benefits to the Northern Qi Kingdom."

"In this way, the alliance between our two countries will be logical."

"This..."Emperor Chu couldn't help but hesitate.

He really didn't think of this layer before.

Gao Yan, the newly succeeded emperor of the Northern Qi State, could he accept the destruction of 100,000 troops and still make friends with the Chu State?

This is a very serious question.

"No, Your Majesty..."

When Wang Dafu heard this, he immediately retorted, "At present, the Northern Qi has not yet expressed its attitude, and we rashly send envoys to make the Northern Qi think that we are weak and at a loss, and then we will have to make more indemnification." ”

"Why don't you leave this matter to the colt?"

"He and the Emperor of Northern Qi are old acquaintances, but I am afraid that in this way, it will be easier to discuss!"

"Hmm."

Emperor Chu nodded, he also thought that what Wang Dafu said was quite reasonable, and said: "I will reply to a letter, you send someone to Wuji, and let him deal with this matter as appropriate." Try to promote an alliance between Chu and Northern Qi. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Dafu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Prime Minister Zhou Xiang did not dissuade him, and also arched his hand: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
