The news that Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo was defeated at the hands of Ji Run, the king of Wei Guosu, and even the territory under his rule had fallen to nearly ninety percent, finally reached the ears of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu.

The royal capital of Chu was located in Shouying, that is, Shouchun, because the Chu people had the habit of naming the capital "Ying", so it was called Shouying.

Among the countries, Chu is said to be the country that moves the capital most frequently, and has moved the capital seven times before and after for various reasons, and a few years ago, the army of the alliance of Qi, Lu and Song attacked Chu and almost forced Chu to move its capital for the eighth time.

But it is undeniable that even the state of Chu is reluctant to anger the state of Qi, a powerful country with a tiger in the east of Taishan, even if the state of Qi is very rich and quite rich, and it is no exaggeration to say that it ranks first among all countries in terms of economic strength, and is the richest country in the world. As a result, many princes and nobles of the Chu State have always been eyeing the Qi State and regard it as a piece of tender fat, but unfortunately, this piece of tender fat is not easy to swallow in their mouths.

Compared with the State of Qi, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, did not have a little hatred for the Wei State, on the contrary, he admired the Wei State a little, after all, the King of Wei Ji Si had united with his son of the King of Chu, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, to defeat the Song State, disintegrate the alliance of Qi, Lu and Song, and severely defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

As for the final Song land being pitted by the Wei King Ji Si's ideas, the Chu King Xiong Xu didn't have any ideas, anyway, in his opinion, as long as the Song State attached to the Qi State was destroyed, it was enough for the Chu State to be happy, as for who this territory belonged to, it didn't matter.

Of course, in response to this, one of the sons of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, obviously does not see it that way.

But it is undeniable that the one who holds prejudice and hostility towards the Wei State is only Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo. As for Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, he was more inclined to make Wei a state dependent on his Chu. At least when the state of Qi is still strong, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, hopes that the state of Wei can be biased to his side, after all, the grievances between Qi and Chu are too great, and it is not good to say when the tiger will cause the two countries to attack each other with all their national forces because of a trivial matter, and at that time. Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, didn't want Wei to wade into this troubled water.

Even, he most wanted to create contradictions between Wei and Qi, so that he could win over Wei and destroy Qi and Lu first.

Of course, after the Chu State destroys Qi and Lu, then there will be no need for the Wei State to exist, and when the time comes, it will be enough to raise troops to destroy the Wei State again.

This is the grand plan in the heart of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu: first destroy Qi and Lu, and then destroy Wei. Then it dominated the north and south of Korea, and finally defeated Korea and became the only country on the earth.

It's a pity that Wei Wang Ji Xi is not a mediocre talent, and he obviously understands: if he helps Chu King Xiong Xu to destroy Qi and Lu, he will undoubtedly force his Wei State to a dead end, so Wei King Ji Xi has always been about him on the "alliance matter" proposed by Chu King Xiong Xu in his national letter. So much so that in the end, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, was resentful in his heart, so he turned a blind eye to his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's frequent dispatch of troops to harass Wei Guofen in the past ten years.

He wanted to teach Wei a lesson. forced Wei to be obedient and obediently became the younger brother of Chu, although this little brother was not spared from being annexed by his Chu state in the end.

Just like this time when the state of Chu declared war on the state of Wei in response to the "attack on the envoys", at first the king of Chu Xiong Xu did not plan to take this opportunity to attack the state of Wei.

First, although the national strength of Wei is not as good as that of Chu, it is not easy to be defeated; Second, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, knew it in his heart. Once he Chu did something that endangered Wei, then Lu Xi, the king of Qi, would inevitably send troops to intervene. Because if Lu Xu, the king of Qi, sat back and watched him, the king of Chu, Xiong Xu, attack and destroy the Wei state, then his Qi country would not be far from destroying the country.

This is like Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and Ji Xi, the king of Wei. The kings of these three countries sat and played chess against each other, and they knew each other's routines and strategies in their hearts.

Therefore, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, wanted to attack Qi and Lu first, and then attack Wei, for this purpose, he wanted to win over Wei, lest he stab him in the back at that time; And the king of Wei, Ji Si, talked about him left and right, and prevaricated many times, but he would never promise to support Xiongxu, the king of Chu, to attack Qi and Lu; As for the state of Qi, which had no room for ease with the state of Chu, the king of Qi, Lü Xi, would not sit idly by and watch the state of Chu really destroy the state of Wei under the condition of ensuring the safety of his own country and the allied state of Lu.

I have to say that the relationship between these three countries is really complicated.

But it is undeniable that as Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongzhao, Qi King Lu Xi and others guessed, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, did not send the troops of the country, he just sent three sons and some nephews of the Xiong clan, and none of the generals who were really good at leading troops in Chu did not dispatch, because the biggest purpose of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, was only to force Wei to be obedient, not to really plan to destroy Wei.

After all, it is too difficult to attack and destroy Wei under the premise that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, will definitely send troops to intervene.

What Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, never expected was that this time the Qi State had not sent a single soldier to interfere with his Chu State to attack the Wei State, and his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuona's army that attacked the Wei State all the way had already been defeated by the Wei people.

was defeated by the fourteen-year-old King Su of Wei, the eighth son of King Ji Si of Wei, Ji Run.

And what is even more unexpected is that Ji Run, the king of Wei who defeated his son, recovered the cities that his Wei State had lost in the past few months, and even led his army to counterattack the territory of his Chu State, capturing nearly ninety percent of the territory of his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo.

When this news reached the ears of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, he couldn't believe it.

You must know that Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is the most optimistic son of King Xiong Xu of Chu, and it is because of this that King Xiong Xu of Chu will place this son in the west far away from the king of Chu Du Shouying, and let him be in charge of the war against Ba and Wei in the western part of the Governor of Chu.

"I'm in trouble......

Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, was very anxious in his heart.

After all, not long after the news of his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's defeat and flight back to Chu reached the royal capital Shouying, Chu King Xiong Xu received the news again, and defeated his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's Wei State Su Wang Ji Run, and hurriedly led the army to fight the Wei State, and conquered the territory of Chu State, which is equivalent to most of Yingshui County, with lightning speed.

If you want to say that Ji Run's kid from the Wei State is too presumptuous, in fact, people just carry the name of "crusading against Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo", and they do not directly aim at the entire Chu State, so it can be seen that this kid still has room for it, and has no intention of completely tearing his face with his Chu State.

In a short period of time, he successively conquered Shangcai, Suiping, Runan, Pingyu, Xiangcheng, Chenxian, Queshan, Xincai, and Zhengyang, and forced the landing of Peng's, Lu's, Zhangbo's, Ziche's, Hua's and other five big clan cities, and plundered the countless wealth of those big clans.

It was this unsympathetic room that made Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, feel a little dilemma.

Come to think of it, if Zhao Hongrun didn't say anything about it and openly put forward the slogan of "crusade against the Chu State", then he Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, would teach this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the earth a good lesson, after all, the cause of this incident was that "the envoys of the Chu State were attacked in the territory of the Wei State", so the Chu State has an absolute advantage in morality.

But the problem is that the kid did not put forward the slogan of "crusade against the Chu State", but very cleverly aimed the spearhead at him Chu King Xiong Xu, the son of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, who killed a lot of Wei people.

You must know that the State of Qi, which has not made the slightest movement, and the King of Qi, Lu Xi, although they have not yet sent someone to present a letter of state to Shou Ying, accusing him of attacking the State of Wei, but the army of the State of Qi has been stationed on the border between Chu and Qi, and it is not easy to say when it will launch a surprise attack.

In other words, after understanding the attitude of King Su Ji Run, King of Wei, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, was actually more worried about the attitude of Qi State, and he did not dare to guarantee that in the case of his Chu State being defeated for a while, Lu Xu, King of Qi, would not take the opportunity to attack him Chu State.

This factor made Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, dare not send troops to support his son Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo, because at this juncture, once he sends troops to fight to the death with the king of Su of Wei, it means that his Chu is very likely to be at war with Qi and Wei at the same time.

It is true that it is rumored in the world that the state of Chu has the heritage and strength to fight on two fronts with the two countries of Qi and Wei at the same time, and even Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, thinks so, but the problem is that the "fighting with two countries on two fronts at the same time" mentioned here will seriously hurt the foundation of the state of Chu.

Yes, the state of Chu could even recruit an army of four million men, all of whom were composed of young and strong men in the country, and it was believed that with this force, it would be enough to fight against both the Qi and Wei countries at the same time.

But what about after the fight?

It has been difficult for him to recover for at least a few decades.

When the time comes, South Korea, a powerful country in the north, will move its army south, first take Qi, Lu, Wei, and Wei, and then destroy the Chu State, and it will be effortless to achieve a great cause.

It's like marrying someone else!

Therefore, when it is not a crisis, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, will never squeeze out the foundation of the Chu State, just for a war.

Unless there is a danger of destroying the country.

"What do you two think?"

After being immersed in his own thoughts for a long time, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, finally noticed that there were two important ministers in the palace.

One is a trusted scholar, Huang Arsenic, who was born in a public family; There is another one, who is one of the several generals who happened to stay in Shouying, a member of the Xiang clan, Xiang Xuan.

Huang Arsenic and Xiang Xuan respectively told their respective views, and in a nutshell, it was nothing more than that the former suggested that the army should be stopped, while the latter thought that troops should be sent to fight against King Ji Run of Wei.

While the two were arguing about this, a eunuch hurriedly walked into the court and handed a copy of the text to the king of Chu.

"King, you'd better take a look at this first."

"......" Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, frowned and glanced at the eunuch, took out the letter paper and glanced at it a few times, and then frowned deeply.

"King, what's wrong?" Doctor Chu Shi Huang Arsenic asked in a low voice.

I saw Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, silently put the letter paper in his hand on the desk in front of him, and let out a long breath.

"Qi Wangxi...... It seems that he is going to use troops against me! ”

Huang Arsenic and Xiang Xuan glanced at each other, and they were both moved. (To be continued.) )
