(); Hearing him say this, the three of them couldn't help but take a light breath, and Sima Wen said: "If it is really as the king said, then the new king of Chu is not simple." ”

"Yes, after the civil war in Chu, my country and Qingguo occupied two places in Chu respectively, and now the wind and youth are at odds, and Chu can take advantage of the situation to recover its land." Liu Yuan said.

Lu Chen glanced at the three of them and said, "Now if we return Hanyang and Sanjiangkou first, then what do you think the Chu State will do next?" ”

"The king of Chu will definitely pretend to use troops against Qingguo, creating a false impression that Qingguo is attacking Qingguo with an alliance, so that Qingguo has no choice but to return Dongyang and Guiyuan counties." Chen Qun continued.

"That's right!" Lu Chen said: "In this way, the State of Chu successfully recovered the four counties without much effort, and in the future, do you think he will really continue to attack the wind and attack the green?" ”

"This ......," Sima Wen muttered, "I'm afraid that the state of Chu will no longer lean to either side." ”

"Yes, after recovering the four counties, the goal of the King of Chu has also been achieved, and he will only choose to watch from the wall." Lu Chen said.

Now the situation is already obvious, if they return Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, and the Chu army is just for show, then it will lose a lot of money.

What's more, Sanjiangkou and Hanyang are strategic locations, if you withdraw your troops, if you want to attack Chu again, you have to cross the Yangtze River moat!

For a while, the three of them fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until a long time later that Chen Qun suddenly said: "If the king is willing to maintain the current general trend of the world, that is to say, the Central Plains, but the three kingdoms are in power, then it will meet the request of the Chu State." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help glaring at him, and said coldly: "Dominate the world, for the ambition of this king's life!" Talk about the Three Kingdoms! ”

His angry gaze couldn't help but make Chen Qun shrink his neck, and then said: "Then, the king can't agree to the request of the Chu State, and he can also destroy Chu in advance!" ”

"Oh?" Lu Chen couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a condensed voice: "What do you mean......"

Chen Qun explained: "If the king does not respond to the request of the Chu State, then the Chu State will inevitably send an envoy to Qing, and like our side, while asking the Qingguo to return Dongyang and Guiyuan, he also promised the Qingguo to attack the wind together. At this time, no matter what Qingguo's decision-making is, the king can send an envoy to Qingguo to lobby for this matter. ”

"But what if Qingguo accepts the opinion of Chu State and attacks me together?" Lu Chen asked.

"Then it's not too late to return Sanjiangkou and Hanyang." Chen Qun replied.

......After listening to his explanation, Lu Chen nodded slowly, and then looked at Sima Wen and Liu Yuan: "What are your opinions?" ”

"Weichen agrees with what Master Chen said." Sima Wen said.

Liu Yuan also said: "The minister has no objection. ”

The three ministers, on the strategic issue of Chu, all agreed that Sanjiangkou and Hanyang should not be returned, which also shows the importance of these two places!

And if the alliance really destroys Chu, then after the fall of the Chu State, there will be only two countries left in the world, and at that time, the two countries will no longer have any checks and balances, and they will face to face with the most direct confrontation.

In fact, for now, Lu Chen still doesn't want to see this situation, because the national strength of the Wind Country is not as good as that of the Qing Country, if Chu is destroyed prematurely, then in the final battle of the Wind and the Qing Dynasty, the chances of victory on the side of the Wind Country are not very great.

If you can wait another five years, Fengguo will undoubtedly be more perfect after another five years of accumulation.

But now, the situation has been forced here, Lu Chen has no choice, in the end, he also adopted Chen Qun's opinion, and when he met with Chu Xiang the next day, he said to him: "The matter of withdrawing troops, this king has already considered it, but this matter is quite troublesome, not to mention Hanyang, just Sanjiangkou, our army has hundreds of large warships there, to withdraw the army, these warships have to be transported back to China, I am afraid it will take some time." ”

His words, to put it bluntly, are to tell Chu Xiang that I am not not withdrawing the army, but it will take a long time.

When the latter heard this, he couldn't help but say urgently: "His Royal Highness the Wind King......

"Huh?" Lu Chen interrupted him and said with a smile: "This king can't just wave his hand and let the army of more than 100,000 disappear out of thin air, right?" If you want to retreat, you have to retreat cleanly and thoroughly, and it is normal to spend some time, I believe that Chu Xiang can also understand, in this way, after you return to Chu, this king will immediately give Xiao Wang and Ai Hu an order to withdraw their troops from Chu, and on the side of Chu, this king also hopes to use troops against Qingdi as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... All right. When he said this, it was not that he did not agree to withdraw the troops, Chu Xiang could only respond helplessly.

In fact, Lu Chen had no opinion on withdrawing troops at all.

And after Chu Xiang returned to China, he met Prince Chu and told Lu Chen's attitude truthfully.

After hearing this, the latter sneered and said, "The Wind King still wants to delay any longer!" Didn't he see my Chu army participating in the war! This king's will, by the Xiangguo Lord to work hard again, go to Qingguo. ”

"This ......" Chu Xiang said with some worry: "Great King, do you want to wait for the Wind Country to wait for it to withdraw its troops first?" ”

"What is there to wait for!" Prince Chu sneered: "You go and tell King Qing, as long as he is willing to return the two counties of Dongyang and Guiyuan, then my Chu army will stand on the side of Qingguo!" When the time comes, Qing Chu will attack the wind together, I see if the Wind King will dare to occupy my Chu land and not return it! ”

After speaking, he said again: "Hmph, now that Fengqing is at war, who can control the situation in the world?" Only I am in the Chu country! ”

He is very confident and believes that as long as his country is willing to stand on the side of Qingguo, the Qingwang is 100% willing to return the two places.

In fact, his strategy can also be said to be very clever, but on the side of the Wind Country, Lu Chen's decision was beyond his expectations, and he didn't expect that the Wind King would dare to be so bold, but it doesn't matter, as long as the Chu army participates in the war, the Wind King will not be able to pay it back when the time comes!

Chu Xiang had just returned to China, and after only resting for two days, he rushed to Qingdi again, and after meeting Qingwang, his rhetoric was almost exactly the same as when he was in the Wind Country.

When the capital of the world was still there, Lu Chen regarded the Qing King as his biggest enemy, and so did the Qing King, and now when he heard Chu Xiang say this, he immediately became a little excited, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "Chu Guo is really willing to help this king!?" ”

"Your Highness didn't hear it wrong, that's exactly what my king meant." Chu Xiang said unhurriedly.

"Good, good!" Hearing this, Qingwang's eyes flashed with excitement.

He's dreaming of destroying the Wind Country! If the wind can be extinguished, then what is the point of returning Dongyang and Guiyuan! Qingwang also has absolute certainty, after extinguishing the wind, with a sweeping momentum, the state of Chu will be bulldozed, and at that time, the world will be unified! He is the founding emperor who regained the mountains and rivers!

Thinking of this, he was excited, and was just about to promise Chu Xiang, but at this moment, Prime Minister Shangguan Jin coughed slightly.
