"This person is Ji Run, the king of Wei Guosu who defeated the 160,000-strong army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng?"

In the Zichen Palace, a Chu man named Ram Yu looked at the domineering Zhao Hongrun with great interest.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an accompanying envoy, and few people know that this middle-aged Confucian who looks thin and has sunken eyes is the most relied on think tank by Guling Jun Xiongwu's side.

Not to mention that the reason why Guling Jun Xiong Wu was able to defeat the Song general Nangong in the Song Land was not by virtue of the more than 100,000 Guling troops known as the elite, but with the help of the power of this strategist.

And this time, the ram was raised as an ordinary entourage, and accompanied Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Xiong Wu, Guling, and Huang Arsenic, the scholar to Wei, and the royal capital Liang of Wei, who also saw with his own eyes the king of Wei who thwarted the 160,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

Recalling this incident, Ram Yu still feels a little incredible.

You must know that in August and September last year, the progress of Guling Jun Xiong Wu, who he served, in the Song Dynasty was not as good as the achievements of Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, in Yingshui County.

At that time, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, held back his breath and wanted to leave Guling Jun Xiong Wu far behind in the battle results, in fact, Xiong Wu also thought the same way.

But who would have thought that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng who had a good momentum at that time, would be defeated in the hands of this King Su of Wei one after another, not only the previous results were destroyed, but even his own fiefdom was captured by the other party.

At that time, Guling Jun Xiong Wu laughed out loud after hearing about this, and he looked gloating. But the ram felt that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, the subsequent evolution of events gradually changed in a direction that was unfavorable to Guling Jun Xiongwu. First of all, the king of Qi, Lü Xi, became somewhat interested in the strength of Wei's army because of the several great victories of Ji Run, the king of Wei Su, over Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, and then under the facilitation of Ji Zhao, the king of Wei, he put on a posture of attacking Chu with Wei on the east and west sides, and built a city in Pi County.

Just as Ram Yu had worried before, the intervention of the King of Qi made the Xiong nobles in Chu Dong led by Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, a little panicked, after all, the alliance of Qi, Lu, and Song has always been a lingering nightmare in the hearts of their Chu State.

And now. Although the Song State has been defeated, if the Wei State, which is stronger than the Song State, takes the place of the Song State in the "Qilu Song" Triple Alliance, the "Qilu Wei" Triple Alliance is reached. Then this force will be enough to make the entire Chu State unstable.

What's more, the elite royal army controlled by the nobles of the Chudong Xiong clan is still suppressing the rebellion in Wuyue and other places at this moment. If at this time, Qilu and Wei joined forces to attack Chu. Then for the state of Chu, it is simply a catastrophe, and there is a faint danger of overthrowing the country.

At that time, Ram Yu guessed that it was impossible for them to fight again, because if they continued to fight, not only would Western Chu be swallowed by Ji Run, the king of Wei, but Eastern Chu would also be attacked by the combined forces of Qi and Lu, and then the rebels in Wuyue and other places would send another round of force. Then he Chu State was attacked on three sides, and one was not good. Even half of the country's land will be lost.

Sure enough, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, sent Huang Arsenic, a descendant of the Ji Lian clan and a representative of the nobles of the Huang Ming Sect, to order this person to serve as an envoy.

At that time, Ram Yu suggested that the king of Guling, the king of Guling, Xiong Wu, did not need to bother to attack the Song land, because there was no need, and the intervention of the king of Qi had already extinguished the courage of the Chu Eastern Xiong nobles led by Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, to continue this war, and the confidence to win the final victory in this war.

However, Guling Jun Xiong Wu did not listen to the persuasion and did not adopt the suggestion of ram breeding.

And it turned out that the judgment of ram breeding was correct.

As he expected, Huang Arsenic went directly to Zhengyang, which had been conquered by the Wei army at that time, and asked to meet Ji Run, the king of Su of Wei, who was planning to attack the last three fiefdoms of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and reached an agreement with him to make peace between the two armies, and paid a large amount of money and goods to make the king of Su of Wei lead his army to evacuate Xiong Tuo's fiefdom.

Ram Yu had to sigh, sometimes the world is so ironic: it was clear that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was defeated miserably in the hands of Ji Run, the king of Su of Wei, but because of the latter, the court of Chu had to send the scholar doctor Huang Arsenic to make peace with him, which made Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, have the right to negotiate with the Wei army, but instead prompted Xiong Wu, the king of Guling, who won successive victories in the Song Dynasty, to become the biggest loser in this battle.

This ending, not to mention that Guling Jun Xiong Wu can't accept it, even Ram Yu is a little unwilling.

Therefore, when Guling Jun Xiong Wu was entangled with his father Wang Xiong Xu and was going to serve as the chief envoy to the capital of the King of Wei, Ram Yu did not stop him, and even pretended to be an entourage, wanting to use his own eyes to see the current situation in Wei and see the Wei Su King Ji Run.

Not to mention, the first time he saw the king of Nasu Ji Run, Ram Yu felt that this son was extraordinary, because no one would ever ask the guards around him to draw their swords and slash at the chief envoy of another country at the welcoming banquet, let alone that this chief envoy was also the prince of a country.

The reason is simply that this chief envoy, under the persecution of his words, lost his temper and said nonsense about declaring war on their Wei state.

Ah, it's just nonsense that no one takes seriously, or angry talk.

But this Su Wang Ji Run seemed to take it seriously, and directly asked the guards around him to draw their swords and face each other.

Is that really just a joke?

Ram breeding doesn't think so.

In his opinion, Ji Run, the Su King of Wei, was clearly using this to warn them these Chu people: This is Daliang!

Even, Ram Yu couldn't help but guess that if the guard beside Guling Jun Xiong Wu did not protect his own Yijun in time, so that Xiong Wu was really chopped to death by the Wei man by mistake, then what kind of situation would this matter end?

"Presumably, he will immediately pull the Qi Wang Xi to declare war on my Great Chu, right?"

Recalling Zhao Hongrun's sentence "This king has always liked to strike first", Ram Yu secretly nodded and confirmed his guess: Killing, or not killing Guling Jun Xiong Wu is just the two trade-off choices of Nasu King Ji Run.

"It seems that we have to remind Xiong Wu Gongzi, otherwise, if he continues to provoke the Wei State, he may really be killed by that Ji Run."

Thinking of this, Ram Yu whispered a few words to his colleagues around him, asking him to find an opportunity to remind Xiong Wu.

And when he finished his instructions, he suddenly found that Luo Ying, the staff member next to the prince of the East Palace of Wei State, was looking at him with an unpredictable expression.

『…… Are you too calm?'

Faintly feeling as if the other party had seen something, Ram Bred smiled at each other quietly.

『……』

Just as Ram Yu had guessed, Luo Ying, a staff member of the East Palace, was looking at the former with a surprised gaze.

Because Luo Ying was surprised to find that almost everyone in the hall was shocked by the domineering methods and words of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and among the envoys of the Chu people, there was a thin-faced envoy of the Chu State who observed their King of Su Zhao Hongrun of Great Wei with a calm face.

That composure, it doesn't look like a fake.

"Who is that?"

Luo Ying responded to Ram Yu's smile with a kind smile, and was secretly surprised in her heart.

For some reason, the Chu man on the other side made him feel an inexplicable oppressive force.

However, this doubt was received by Luo Ying in the blink of an eye, after all, the top priority at the moment is to promote Wei Chuyan's peace.

Don't look at their Great Wei has reached a preliminary agreement with the Qi State at the moment, but this does not mean that their Great Wei is willing to go to war with the Chu State, and they will fight each other to the death and live each other.

The best, except for their Great Wei, the rest of the countries in the world are constantly fighting each other.

Of course, this is a beautiful luxury, but it is not realistic.

The one who was discussing the peace between the two countries was Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Arsenic, the deputy envoy of the Chu envoy, and in the entire Zichen Palace, it seemed that only these two were talking for a while, and the rest of the people were just quietly listening.

Even if it was Guling Jun Xiong Wu, who had just provoked the Great Wei, or Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su who had shocked those Chu people opposite, they all sat quietly in their respective seats at this time, listening to the debate between Du You and Huang Arsenic.

It stands to reason that this kind of major matter concerning the diplomacy of the two countries should not be discussed at such a welcome banquet, but should be held at a more formal occasion and at the negotiating table.

But it seems that those Chu people don't care about this kind of trivial matter, no wonder, after all, it seems that the current situation is very unfavorable for their Chu State, if they can't convince Wei State, then Wei State will naturally move closer to Qi Wangxi.

It is precisely because he is aware of this matter that Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is full of confidence, and argues with Huang Arsenic in a lively manner, arguing about the question of "whether it is more in the vital interests of Wei to fall to Qi or Chu".

What Huang Arsenic did was to smear Qi Wangxi, directly describing him as a moody king.

But to be honest, Huang Arsenic's words are also true, after all, Qi Wangxi is really the moody and inscrutable king.

According to rumors in the world, Qi Wangxi only does things according to his personal preferences, and those who follow his eyes, even if they are just a groom, may be able to visit the cabinet the next day; On the other hand, if the king of Qi looks at you unpleasantly, even if you are a high-ranking minister in the court, he may directly tell you to get out of the country the next day, or even roll up and get out of the Qi country.

All in all, it's a king you can't fathom what he's thinking.

It is precisely because of this that the King of Qi is actually not supported in the aristocratic circle of the Qi State, but those nobles of the Qi State are very jealous of the royal family, especially the current King of Qi Lu Xi, so they dare not raise any objections.

After all, it is a "tyrant" who will immediately leave you with nothing once you offend him.

And Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, naturally will not change his position just based on Huang Arsenic's words, after all, in the eyes of the Wei people, the Qi people who have never crossed paths are naturally much better than the Chu people who have repeatedly attacked their Great Wei.

Until Huang Arsenic threw out a sentence that surprised all the Wei people in the hall.

"What if Lu Xi is gone one day?" (To be continued.) )
