On the other hand, since Lu Chen's annihilation, the financial strength of the Wind Country has been improved, the population has been improved, and the territory has been expanded, all of which represent the rise of the Wind Country.

For many years, the nations have been humble, and a small desolate country in the northwest frontier has also followed Lu Chen's claim to be king, and has been moving towards the road of prosperity step by step.

After handling a series of domestic political affairs, Lu Chen ordered the recruitment of troops throughout the country, expanding the original 800,000 Central Army to 1.2 million.

This time the recruitment is not only in the face of the wind and the land of the four counties of Zhangguo, which was annexed, but also Jinzhou, which is also within the scope of recruitment.

But there is no doubt that not long after the fall of the Zhang State, the Wind Country conscripted troops, and the number of Zhang people joining the army was smaller, less than 200,000, but this did not affect anything.

The wind people are warlike, and have been oppressed by the nations for a long time, and have always been ridiculed by people from other countries as a barbaric land, barbarians, who do not understand etiquette, etc., etc.

After Lu Chen ascended the throne, he revised the decree, raised the people, benefited the people, punished the law strictly, worked hard, and then recovered Hedong and destroyed the Zhang country.

The king ordered that the establishment of 1.2 million soldiers would soon be expanded and completed.

And with the action of the Wind Country's conscription, the countries also reacted differently.

Yan Guo, because of the wealth obtained from the destruction of the chapter, tasted the sweetness of raising war with war, not long after Lu Chen's royal order was issued, Yan Guo's side also began to recruit troops and horses!

As for the State of Chu, which is close at hand, the reaction is completely different.

On this day, the main hall of the state of Chu.

His wife Zhang Yanwen came out and said: "King, since the accession of the Wind King Lu Chen, the Wind Country has been strong in soldiers and horses, and the military strength is growing, and the Wind King Lu Chen, the king of tigers and wolves, is warlike by nature, not long after the chapter was destroyed, he began to recruit soldiers in the country again, and this recruitment is to expand the 800,000 central army of the Wind Country to 1.2 million at once!" I am afraid that his intention is to conquer the nations! And my Chu State borders on it, if the Feng army goes out, my Chu State will definitely bear the brunt! ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he said worriedly: "What Aiqing said, it is not unreasonable, this is exactly what this king is worried about, I am afraid that the rank is not yet known, when the four kings met in my Chu land Hancheng, at that time, the momentum shown by the wind king Lu Chen has already made the king feel the dangerous breath, but there is no way, although my Chu land is rich, but my people, but not as strong and warlike as the wind people, this king did not dare to let the wind king have an accident in my Chu land, because once this is the case, the wind country will definitely be all soldiers, and I Chu country......"

In the bitter cold land, there are more strong soldiers!

The Wind Country is located in a barren area, the poor used to be like ghosts, everyone in the world looks down on the wind people, and the place where Lu Chen started is the border of the north, his army, the combat power can be imagined!

At this time, another minister of the Chu State came out and said: "The king, just like the Taifu said, the King of the Wind is the king of tigers and wolves, and he has an army of 1.2 million at his head. Therefore, Weichen suggested that our country should immediately send heavy troops to garrison the north! ”

The northern land in his mouth is the Lingnan border of the Windy Country.

If the Wind Country attacks Chu, it must also send troops from Lingnan.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Taifu Zhang Yanwen immediately retorted: "No! ”

As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the King of Chu again, and continued: "Great King, now in the south of the Wind Country, there are only 100,000 Feng troops stationed, which is a normal border defender, and there are only 100,000 Chu troops in the north of our country, and if our country suddenly sends heavy troops to the north, it is conceivable that in the eyes of the Wind Country, I am afraid that it will become a provocation, and it will create a false impression that our country is going to attack the wind, once this is the case, what will the Wind King do?" ”

......Hearing his words, the King of Chu took a light breath, nodded slowly, and said: "That's right, that's right, if our country sends heavy troops to the north, then the Wind King will definitely mobilize a large army to go to the south of the wind land, and it is indeed inappropriate to do so......

When Zhang Yanwen heard this, he immediately said: "The current Wind Country is no longer what it used to be, so Weichen thinks that my country should make every effort to reconcile with the Wind Country." ”

"How to fix it? For many years, there has been no outbreak of war between our country and the country of wind, and it is already in a state of harmony. King Chu said.

Zhang Yanwen shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is not enough, the current friendly state of the two countries is not enough to make the Wind Country not attack Chu, and if you want to achieve this goal, the best way is to marry the Wind Country." ”

"Marriage?" When the King of Chu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. At that time, it was not uncommon for countries to marry each other in order to express friendship or other purposes. And the prince of Chu is now also in the green land.

Zhang Yanwen continued: "Yes, the king, Weichen remembers that the youngest sister of the king, Princess Shaoyang, the favorite of the first king, is twenty years old and has not yet married......

"No, no, no, no." Before he finished his words, the King of Chu interrupted him by shaking his head repeatedly, and said: "Shao Yang, the youngest daughter of my father, is also the most beloved sister of this king, and the princess has a stubborn temperament and is reluctant to leave home, she will definitely not agree!" ”

Zhang Yanwen was not in a hurry, but asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the king, how is the Wind King Lu Chen?" Oh, Weichen means, the age and appearance of the Wind King, etc., ......"

"It's the dragon and phoenix among people, young, eloquent, and extraordinary." King Chu said.

"And what about the Windy Nation now?"

"Growing stronger and stronger, I'm afraid it won't be long before it becomes the real overlord of the north." The king of Chu said again.

"Why, then, does my king not agree to this business?" Zhang Yanwen asked rhetorically.

"This ......" King Chu also began to hesitate for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanwen continued: "The king, the prince of our country, can be qualified in Qingguo, and in Weichen's opinion, the current Fengguo is more dangerous than Qingguo!" ”

King Chu said: "Actually, this king is afraid that Shaoyang is unwilling for her, and Aiqing also knows the temper of my sister." ”

"King!" Zhang Yanwen raised his voice and said, "Princess, you are a child of the royal family!" For the sake of the Chu State, it should be like this! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, many other ministers also began to come out one after another, exhorting the king of Chu: "Great King, marrying the country of Feng should be the best way at the moment, so that not only can the trouble in the north of the country of Chu be eliminated, but also the state of Chu will continue to stand in the struggle for hegemony among the nations without falling." ”

"I hope that my king will think twice and marry the Wind Country-"

All the ministers shouted in unison.

In fact, in the heart of King Chu, he agreed with the marriage of Fengguo in his heart, but the bad was bad for Princess Shaoyang.

Princess Shaoyang, the daughter of the first king of Chu State, can be said to be the favor of a whole.

The king of Chu also loves this youngest sister very much, if Shao Yang is unwilling, he really can't bear to send her to such a barren wind country.

But now almost all the ministers have stood up to admonish, and the king of Chu is also secretly ruthless, gritting his teeth and saying: "Okay! According to what Aiqing said, Princess Shaoyang will be married to the King of Wind, and my country will immediately send an envoy to the Wind Capital to meet the King of the Wind Lu Chen......"

"I'm Wang Yingming—" Chu Chen Qiqi said.
