It didn't take long for Pingyujun Xiong Hu, who had not yet healed from his injuries, to be "invited" by Zhao Hongrun to the scene next to the giant pit.

It can be seen that this nobleman of the Chu State, who once spoke disrespectfully to Zhao Hongrun, was really much more honest after being taught by Zhao Hongrun last time, so that when the four Wei soldiers carried the stretcher and carried him to the vicinity of Zhao Hongrun, who had not healed from the injuries in his legs, he just sat on the stretcher, looking at the 50,000 Chu army prisoners with an expressionless face.

"Master Xiongtuo...... Have you also been defeated?'

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu sighed gloomily in his heart, once upon a time, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, was his great confidence.

At that time, he thought that even if Zhao Hongrun was ruthless to him, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, would definitely kill this son to avenge him.

But he never expected that not only would he be defeated, but even Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, would also be defeated by the young King of Wei Guosu.

As for the results of the battle, looking at the more than 50,000 Chu soldiers captive, Xiong Hu naturally guessed what kind of defeat it was.

Obviously, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was only slightly better than him: all the armies were wiped out, the difference was only that Xiong Hu was unfortunately captured by the Wei army, while Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, escaped by luck.

"What are you going to do?" Xiong Hu turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, his expression was very calm.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was really a little surprised, because he thought that Xiong Hu would shout again and instigate the 50,000 Chu soldiers to take prisoners, but he didn't expect that Xiong Hu would be so honest this time.

"Very surprised......" looked Xiong Hu up and down a few times, and Zhao Hongrun's face was full of wonder.

It can be seen that after being imprisoned for a long time, Xiong Hu's mentality has also improved a lot, I saw him look at Zhao Hongrun, and said lightly: "Even Lord Xiong Hu was defeated by you." What else can Xiong rely on? As he spoke, he glanced at the 50,000 Chu soldiers and asked curiously, "Are you going to say that these soldiers will be surrendered?" ”

"What? Do you want to destroy? Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.

Xiong Hu shook his head when he heard this, and said with emotion: "Your mouth can even say Qu Cheng to surrender, let alone these soldiers who have little loyalty to Lord Xiong Tuo and me...... You're going to attack my Da Chu? ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly. Although he also understood that this matter could not be concealed from Xiong Hu, but even so, he was somewhat uncomfortable when the Chu people who were clear about Xiong Hu's camp broke the matter.

"Do you have any advice?" Zhao Hongrun's tone became much colder.

Hearing this, Xiong Hu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What do you want?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was also stunned when he heard this, because he heard a different meaning from Xiong Hu's words: "What do you mean? ”

Xiong Hu turned his head to look left and right, and Zhengse said, "It's all your people here, so let's have something to say." I believe you must be going to the territory of Master Xiong Tuo this time, what do you want? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked Xiong Hu up and down a few times, and said tentatively with a smile: "Listening to your tone, it's like you can call the shots." ”

Xiong Hu said flatly: "Master Xiong Tuo and I have been growing up together since childhood, I trust him, and he trusts me. If I make a promise, Master Xiong Tuo will not object. ”

"Whatever is promised, there will be no objection?" Zhao Hongrun grinned. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice: "This king wants the whole county of Yingshui!" ”

"Good ...... His Royal Highness King Su has a great appetite......

From the side, Wu Wei Chen Shi, Wang Shu, Ma Zhang and others couldn't help but be startled when they heard this, and even the general of the Junshui Battalion, Bailiba, couldn't help but look sideways.

You must know the whole county of Yingshui, including the northern county of Yingshui occupied by the Wei State and the southern county of Yingshui occupied by the State of Chu. And this Yingshui South County contains ninety percent of the territory of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu and at least half of the territory of Huancheng Jun Xiong Tuo.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun's sentence is equivalent to asking for more than 20 cities in Chu State.

But to everyone's great surprise, Pingyujun Xiong Hu was just surprised. His complexion immediately returned to calm, and he looked at Zhao Hongrun solemnly and said, "Yes!" ”

"Really?"

Not only was everyone stunned, but even Zhao Hongrun was a little stunned.

However, at this moment, he heard Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu calmly add: "If you want Yingshui County, you can ...... We can cede it, but the king of Su, or even your country, may not dare to accept it. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, because Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu calmly reminded him: Giving up more than 20 large and small cities, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu can cede to him, but the question is, does Wei dare to accept it? Do you dare to accept this generous gift at the risk of the wrath of the entire Chu State?

"You're kidding me?" Zhao Hongrun frowned unhappily.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun seemed to be angry, Pingyujun Xiong Hu hurriedly shook his head and explained: "XX has no intention of playing with King Su, I just explained a fact to King Su. If His Highness wants gold, silver, jewelry, agate, jade, just ask. However, if King Su intends to swallow the territory of my Chu State, even if Lord Xiong Tuo and I promise, the Chu State behind the two of us will not agree. ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at Pingyujun Xiong Hu expressionlessly, and saw that his face was sincere, and it didn't seem like he was playing with himself, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked puzzledly: "Are you begging for your own life?" ”

"You can think so, too." Pingyujun Xiong Hu nodded indifferently, and then added: "Other than that, I hope this battle can end here." ”

"That's it?" Zhao Hongrun was happy when he heard this, pointed to Pingyujun Xiong Hu and said to the people around him: "Is this guy crazy?" He even said that he hoped this battle would end here? ”

The surrounding Wei people sneered at Pingyujun Xiong Hu: At the beginning, they invaded the territory of our Great Wei and killed my Great Wei people, but now that the situation is not right, they implore me to hope that this battle will end here? Are you kidding!

Pingyujun Xiong Hu looked around, not caring about the indifferent attitude of the Wei people, Zhengse said: "Actually, this is a win-win proposal. I can promise on behalf of Lord Xiong Tuo that the Chu soldiers withdraw from your territory, and I can also implore Lord Xiong Tuo to compensate for the losses suffered by your country as a result of this war. We may even make a private contract with your country to restore peace on the border between Wei and Chu Yingshui. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at Pingyujun Xiong Hu, so far, he didn't believe that this guy could play any tricks, so he could stop here. But it didn't fit his temperament.

After all, compared to gold, silver, jewelry, agate, and jade, Zhao Hongrun needed the population of Chu more than that, which was the real reason why he decided to counterattack Chu.

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu is right, Zhao Hongrun does not dare to really invade the territory of Chu State, so even if he captures the territory of Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, in the future. I don't dare to really take it for myself, after all, in this way, I will definitely be attacked by a strong counterattack from the Chu State, which is not conducive to Great Wei.

But before he withdraws his troops, he will abduct all the people of Chu in the territory of Chu that he has conquered, after all, the land is dead, and people are alive, and for the current Great Wei, the national population will be increased in this way. It is more valuable than opening up territory.

Of course, Zhao Hongrun will also return the conquered Chu State to Chu State for nothing, and he will use diplomacy to let Chu State redeem it with heavy money.

In this way, the Great Wei people and wealth will gain a lot of money, but it will not cause a backlash from the Chu State because of the land dispute, which is undeniably the best choice.

But. It's not easy to say these words to Pingyujun Xiong Hu.

How so?

I want all the people of Chu in your fiefdom?

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu may agree because he wants to live, but will Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, agree?

There are no people in the realm. It's tantamount to having no Yi tax, you call Xiong Tuo to drink the northwest wind?

But no matter what, what Pingyujun Xiong Hu said made Zhao Hongrun a little moved.

"If you say that, this king can't kill you......"

Pingyujun Xiong Hu heard the words change slightly, and pretended to be calm and said, "Keep me." Far more beneficial to King Su than killing me. …… At least when it comes to convincing Master Xiong, no one is better suited than me. ”

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, originally he planned to repeat his old tricks and use Pingyujun Xiong Hu to force down the five hundred generals and thousands of generals in the Chu army, but now Pingyujun Xiong Hu put forward this so-called win-win proposal. Zhao Hongrun is really embarrassed to operate on this person again.

"King Rong Ben think about it, you go back to recuperate first."

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the four Wei soldiers who were carrying stretchers.

Seeing this, the four Wei soldiers lifted the stretcher and prepared to carry Pingyujun Xiong Hu away.

"Wait!"

"What else?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Hu in wonder.

I saw Pingyujun Xiong Hu said with some embarrassment: "King Su, can you improve the food for the Xiong clan a little?" Xiong doesn't ask for much, even if it's a little vegetable leaf, just a little meaty. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the four Wei soldiers with somewhat ugly faces with some amusement, and didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Okay, you can." For the sake of what you still use, add some leaves and a slice of meat to each meal. ”

"Thank you." Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu arched his hand, and then said solemnly: "In this way, King Su will think about it slowly, and I believe that Xiong's suggestion will not make King Su and the Wei State suffer." ”

When he finished speaking, the four Wei soldiers carried him down.

Looking at Pingyujun Xiong Hu in the distance, Wu Wei Chen Shi crossed his arms and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, is this person's words credible?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded: "So far, I can't play any tricks with him." ”

Hearing this, Wu Wei Ma Zhang asked curiously: "Then what does Your Highness think of this person's proposal to strike the army and repair it?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun turn his head to look at the Chu soldiers who were still making a choice, nodded and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, in all fairness, our army really can't attack and destroy the Chu State, not to mention that our army can't do it, even if it gathers the military, manpower, and material resources of the entire Great Wei, it is extremely difficult to attack and destroy the Chu State." Whether we want to or not, sooner or later, we will have to meet with Chu at the negotiating table. …… But right now, it's not the time to reconcile with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng. ”

Why isn't it time to reconcile with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng?

It's very simple, because Zhao Hongrun hasn't really reaped any benefits, and he hasn't squeezed the interests of Chu as much as possible, how can he reconcile with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng?

As for the compensation proposed by Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, it is only an addition at best.

Of course, even if it's just an addition, Zhao Hongrun will not let it go.

"Is Qu Cheng done over there? When he was done, he was told to come to the king immediately. ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
