A few days later, Li Miaocai arrived in the capital of Chu with the envoy's guard of honor and met the king of Chu.

Although a big war may break out at any time between Feng and Chu, the King of Chu still shows great respect for the envoy of the Wind Country.

After meeting Li Miaocai in the main hall of the court, the latter also bowed and bowed, and said, "The wind envoy has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

"Your envoy is exempt." King Chu raised his hand slightly, and asked directly: "I don't know what Lord Li is here this time." ”

Li Miaocai got straight to the point and said: "I came here to welcome the return of the princess on behalf of my king." ”

"Oh? The Wind Princess? The king of Chu pretended to be puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "What Lord Li said is the aunt of this king." ”

"Exactly." Li Miaocai replied.

Seeing him mention this, the King of Chu first glanced at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and then fixed his eyes on Li Miaocai, and said with a slight smile: "Before that, this king wants to ask Lord Li a few questions first, I don't know if Lord Li can answer." ”

"Your Highness, may I ask." Li Miaocai said.

The king of Chu said: "The aunt of this king is the princess of Chu State, this is right?" ”

"Of course." Li Miaocai can only return.

The king of Chu continued: "My aunt misses her hometown, she goes back to Chu as a guest, come back and see, where is this, it's all in the past, right?" ”

"This ......" Li Miaocai already felt a little wrong, but he couldn't refute King Chu's words at all.

Seeing this, the King of Chu smiled again: "My aunt went back to Chu to visit relatives, this king was hospitable, not only did not lose the face of the King of the Wind, but also talked about the family relationship with the aunt, and now the aunt still wants to stay for a few more days, and the King of the Wind has no reason to want him to return to China." ”

When Li Miaocai heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "This is what the princess means?" ”

"Of course." The king of Chu said with an oath.

can be said to be so, how could Li Miaocai believe it, and couldn't help but say again: "I don't know if I can meet the princess in the future, and I can give an account to my king." ”

Hearing this, King Chu first rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Lord Li is too worried, my aunt is a little unwell during this time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see guests." ”

"Your Highness!" Li Miaocai was in a hurry.

"Huh?" King Chu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Please also ask Lord Li to tell King Feng that my aunt is doing well in Chu and there is no need to worry about it." ”

In this court meeting, the king of Chu prevaricated, claiming that Princess Shaoyang still wanted to stay in Chu for a few more days, and he used this as a reason to catch Princess Shaoyang as his aunt and go back to her parents' house to visit relatives.

And after waiting for the next dynasty, Zhang Heng, the prime minister of Chu, also came to the palace study.

He first saluted the King of Chu, and then said with some concern: "Your Majesty, Princess Shaoyang has been staying in the Chu capital for several months, if she doesn't let people go, I'm afraid that Li Miaocai will go back this time, and the King of the Wind will be annoyed and angry." ”

"Huh?" The King of Chu waved his hand and said: "Now there are two countries left in the world, although the Qing King is not dead, but the Qing Kingdom has actually perished, even if this king releases his aunt, will the Feng King stop attacking Chu?" No, whether we let people go or not, the Wind King will attack me next! ”

"Then, what does the king mean......" Zhang Heng asked.

King Chu said: "With my aunt in the Chu Palace, even if I can't threaten the Wind King, but for my Chu State, at the very least, it's a way out, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiang nodded slowly.

The Chu State did not let people go, and after the news was transmitted back to Fengzhou, Lu Chen was furious after hearing it, and he also discussed the issue of the Chu State with the ministers at the court meeting the next day.

After the extermination, it can be seen from the fact that Lu Chen did not rush to seal the generals in the army, and this war was actually not over.

In his heart, he actually wanted to go straight to the Chu State and completely complete the unification of the world.

However, this matter is larger, and he still needs to listen to the opinions of the ministers.

After all the ministers knelt on the ground to salute and got up behind the train, Lu Chen also began to say: "The nine kingdoms in the world have been destroyed, and now, only Jiangnan is undecided, and this king is unwilling." ”

Jiangnan here refers to the south of the Yangtze River, which is naturally the state of Chu, and when the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, and then, Xue Huairen was the first to stand up and said: "Weichen listens to the king's meaning, do you want to continue to attack Chu?" ”

"If you attack Chu, what are the opinions of all the secretaries?" Lu Chen asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Xue Huairen hesitated.

When the other ministers heard this, they began to talk to each other:

"This, just wiped out, and I want to attack Chu again......"

"I am a soldier of the Feng Army, and I have been fighting for many years, and the army can't fight like this......"

"Yes, when you recuperate, after a few years, you can figure ......it out."

People whispered, and the hall was buzzing, and it wasn't until after a while that Lu Chen picked up the bamboo slip on Wang's case with slight displeasure and put it down again.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Xue Huairen also bowed his hand again and said: "Since the king overhauled the Yandi water conservancy, now the grain production of the counties is increasing steadily, and in terms of grain and grass, there must be no problem in supporting the attack on Chu, but Weichen is worried that the morale of the soldiers of our Feng army is not high." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but turn his eyes to Xiao Wang.

Seeing this, the latter hurriedly stepped out and said: "The officers and men of our army are not afraid of hard fighting, as long as the king gives an order, the three armies can be exhausted!" ”

After speaking, he said: "What Lord Xue said is not a problem, the key problem is that Chu has the Yangtze River moat, and it is difficult to cross the river with footsteps. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Muzhi stood up and said: "Weichen thinks that the king should be a big fighter and calm the world, otherwise, after a long time, the Qingwang power will inevitably be expanded, and then it will be resurrected. ”

Hearing this, Sima Wen couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed slightly: "If Hanyang is still in the hands of our army, how good it would be, attacking Chu, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and use the Yangtze River as a transportation line to implement strategic encirclement of Chu." ”

Hanyang is a strategic place in the Chu State, and now it is not in the hands of the Feng Army, what is the use of saying this, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen also said: "This king's will, immediately order Ai Hu to lead the army, advance into Chu, capture Baishi, and then garrison troops in Sanjiangkou, train sailors in Sanjiangkou, and prepare for the subsequent attack on Chu!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, and Xiao Wang immediately said, "The king's plan is very good. ”

"Wechen also thinks it's feasible." Su Muzhi followed.

"Okay, let's make it a decision, immediately send an order to Aihu!" Lu Chen also made a decision immediately.

With an order from the king on his side, Ai Hu began to draw the central army of the Feng Kingdom, crossed the border of Chu and land, and approached Baishi.

Lu Chen originally thought that the Chu army would fight with his own side on the border line, but in the eyes of the Chu State, the Feng army was obviously going to attack Chu on a large scale, so after the court discussion, the king of Chu immediately decided not to confront the Feng army's foot soldiers, and also ordered Wang Shuang to guard the Yangtze River, preserve his own troops, and strive to fight a water battle with the Feng army, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

But Lu Chen's original intention was not to cross the Yangtze River now, but to train the sailors at the mouth of the three rivers.

Here, the army of Feng Chu looked across the river again.

Under the order of King Lu Chen, Ai Hu did not carry out any attack on the Chu army on the other side of the Yangtze River, but after the defense, he only cared about building warships and training sailors.
