The four people looked at Xiang Yu and didn't dare to move, but the king of Chu said, "Don't fight, Chu has lost." "He was afraid that if he continued to fight, the remaining few people would be scrapped.

Everyone didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so strong, and he was expected to play more than 20 games, and two games were over. In order to save some face, the king of Chu said: "If you take all weapons, the overlord will not win so easily, the overlord has a strong ability to resist attacks, and he has resisted 4 feet but has nothing at all, if it is a knife and gun, it is not necessarily." ”

King Qi said: "If you take weapons, these people will be killed before they are close to the overlord's body, or the king of Chu will find a few more people to try." "King Qi also wants to stir up trouble, and wants to provoke the king of Chu to fight with the overlord again, and make the contradiction between the two families bigger.

Qin Guo and Yue Guo were not afraid of making a big fuss, and then said: "The overlord's fists and feet are really powerful, I don't know how the sword and gun kung fu is?" ”

King Zhou came forward: "Say, since the winner has been decided, don't make another incident, the sword and gun have no eyes, and it is not good to hurt anyone." The widow announced: The overlord wins, and the overlord is the leader of the alliance of the princes. ”

Even if the kings are not convinced, there is no way, it is impossible to take the initiative to rob for an alliance that has no real power, and besides, this is still in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

Xiang Yu said: "I am a martial artist, not suitable to be the leader of the alliance, King Zhou is the son of heaven, and he should benefit the people of the world. ”

All the kings thought that this was the best, the king of Zhou was still the king of Zhou, the leader of the alliance was gone, and the face problem was solved, so they all said: "The overlord proposes well, or the overlord is open-minded." ”

King Zhou said: "Okay, since all the kings have agreed, the widow will worry more about dim sum in the future, and the widow will hold a banquet tonight to entertain everyone." ”

The kings were embarrassed to postpone it, and they all said, "Thank you King Zhou for your hospitality." ”

After entering the feast in the evening, the kings had almost eaten, so they made excuses that there was something wrong, and they all left first, and they did not want to see the song and dance performances that followed. King Zhou and Xiang Yu toasted each other with a few glasses of wine, Xiang Yu also went back after eating, and Hua Long stayed.

King Zhou took Hua Long's hand and said, "Hua Aiqing, the widow is really happy today, he has never been so majestic. ”

Hua Long said: "King Zhou, there are more majestic things waiting for you in the future." ”

King Zhou said: "Hua Aiqing, why don't you find a few beauties to accompany you tonight." ”

Hua Long was a hundred willing in his heart, but when he thought about it: If he accepts it, tomorrow everyone will know that King Zhou will send a few beauties to accompany him at night, how embarrassed, the key is that he still wants to be the daughter of King Zhou, so he said against his will: "Forget it, King Zhou, you enjoy it slowly, I will go back first." ”

Early the next morning, all the princes and kings returned with their armies. For Chu and Jin, the alliance leader did not get it, and he lost some face, but the goal was still achieved, that is, to control the other vassal states, and they could not annex each other, and the two countries could continue to expand outward.

The Qin State can also continue to develop outward, especially a few big pieces of fat meat in the West, which is enough for them to compete with the Chu State for a long time.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Lu are fine as long as others don't fight them, and the Yue Kingdom needs to recuperate, that is, the Qi State and Xiang Yu are restricted.

Xiang Yu Hualong returned to Yiling with his men and horses, and the two of them were also anxious now, watching the three kingdoms of Chu, Jin, and Qin continue to develop, and their side could not expand. In fact, Xiang Yu can lead troops to attack Dongyi and Nanyi, but if they continue to fight like that, the national front will be too long, and Dongyi and Nanyi are sparsely populated and underdeveloped areas, and they will not have much effect on fighting.

Hua Long thought: Damn, in the past, the war was to find a way to win, but now that it is like this, it is necessary to find a reason for the war, and it is not possible to let other countries have something to say. At present, in addition to the Zhou Dynasty, there are 8 countries in the world, and they want to lay down all of them, so I don't know what year and month it will take to go on like this.

Ji Yan saw that Hua Long didn't talk much in the past few days and looked thoughtful all day long, so she asked, "Big brother, what do you think about every day?" ”

Hua Long said: "Sister, I'm thinking of a reason to attack the Song Kingdom, but I haven't thought of it." ”

Ji Yan said: "It would be great if countries could really continue to be peaceful like this." ”

Hua Long said: "Sister, this is impossible, the countries are only at peace for temporary interests, and within two years, someone will tear up the contract and start a war." Brother Xiang and I don't want to start a war, but if we don't hurry up, Brother Xiang and I won't be able to complete the task, and the whole world will continue to be chaotic like this in the future, maybe for hundreds of years. ”

Ji Yan said: "I can understand this, I just think the war is too cruel." ”

Hua Long knew that Ji Yan might have remembered her father, and said, "Sister, I'm sorry!" I also have a lot of responsibility for your father's affairs, don't always blame Brother Xiang alone. ”

Ji Yan said: "Big brother, seeing that you are really good to the people, I don't hate you so much, but there is always a gap in my heart, and I can't get by." ”

Hua Long changed the topic and said, "How is Ji Qing's martial arts practice?" ”

Ji Yan said: "He practiced very hard, and Brother Xiang went to pester him within two days of coming back." ”

Hua Long said: "It's good if he is willing to suffer, he can't be like me, he has no martial arts at all." ”

Ji Yan said: "It's good to be like you, Brother Xiang's skills are something that others can't learn, it's unique to him, but I feel that your skills can't be learned by others, your meaning is too advanced." ”

Hua Long said: "In the future, as long as you want to learn, I can teach you slowly." ”

Ji Yan said: "Okay, you think about the problem slowly, I'll go out." With that, he left.

Hua Long went to Xiang Yu and asked, "Big brother, do you have any reason to think of attacking the Song Kingdom?" ”

Xiang Yu said: "No, second brother, this is like my Hongmen banquet back then, we can fight any country alone, there is no problem, but if we destroy one of them, the others will unite to fight us." You now understand why I didn't kill Liu Bang at that time, right? ”

Hua Long said: "Yes, now I have completely realized it! The problem is that we don't have a place to develop now, but the three kingdoms of Chu, Jin, and Qin have a lot of space to explore, and we can only watch here. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, you should worry about this matter, I have to teach Ji Qing to practice every day." ”

Hua Long was about to ask Shen You to see what he could do, but he thought in his heart: Shen You is a relatively upright person, and he shouldn't be able to think of any good crooked ideas.

Shen You saw Hua Long coming, and said: "General Hua, since the promulgation of the set of agricultural production management plans we made last time, the results have been quite good, and now it is the autumn harvest season, and the farmers have a bumper harvest. ”

Hua Long said: "That's good, it's good to let the people have enough food and clothing." ”

Shen You said: "General Hua, the content of the last nine-nation talks said that countries can buy grain from each other, and we have a good harvest and can't eat it, so can we sell it?" ”

Hualong said: "You can't sell it, this year is a bumper harvest, and next year may not be good, in case of natural and man-made disasters and famines, you need a lot of food reserves." General Shen, you simply buy all the surplus grain that the people have on hand, and we will store it in a unified manner. In the future, you should save at least 3 to 5 years of food. ”

Shen You said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Hua Long asked, "General Shen, can you think of a reason to attack the Song Kingdom?" I want to break my head. ”

Shen You said: "General Hua, don't ask me about this kind of thing, I can't do it in my brain." ”

"Okay, then you're busy." Hua Long finished speaking and left.

After a few days, Hua Long suddenly thought of a trick, so he called Shen You and Chen Sheng, and said, "Now you have stepped up the purchase of surplus grain from the people, and told them not to sell grain to other countries." At the same time, we sent people to pretend to be businessmen and go to our neighboring countries to buy grain, and if Qin and Qi did not border us, we should not go, collect as much as we want, and increase the price in a stepwise manner. ”
