Inside the city.

A few days after defeating Han Xiangzi, in the city of Australia, the smell of war has not diminished, on the contrary, like beef and mutton that has been gradually cooked, the taste is getting stronger and stronger.

According to Lin Feng's orders, Hou Mingfeng has been holding talks with Xiong Wu for several days, coercing and luring, and blackmailing Xiong Wu from the six northern counties of Chu State.

In the history of the Chu State, the first emperor to be imprisoned by a foreign emperor, and was blackmailed by the Yan army, Xiong Wu was not only angry, but also angry.

However, there are still two civil and military ministers beside Xiong Wu, whether Xiong Kuohai or Xiong Hui, who know very well that ceding territory in exchange for freedom is extremely aggrieved for the emperor.

How could it be that the turbulent times of Chu State first appeared, and Xiong Wu was urgently needed to return to Chu State as the Son of Heaven, suppress the ministers, quell the rebellion, reorganize the court, and then lead the troops against the Yan army.

According to Xiong Kuohai's words, ceding the six northern counties, Xiong Wu nested for a while, if he refused Emperor Yan's request, he was transferred to the divine capital by Emperor Yan and imprisoned for life.

What's more, when there is a chance to change the division of the Chu State, if the opportunity is missed due to the six northern counties, Xiong Wu cannot shirk the responsibility for the destruction of the Chu State.

With this, Xiong Hui reminded Xiong Wu that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

The state of Chu stands in the south of the princes, as the emperor of the state of Chu, Xiong Wu always has a soldier to experience horses, and lead troops to fight again.

If he refuses Emperor Yan's request, loses the opportunity to make a comeback and make a comeback, Xiong Wu will become the most cowardly monarch in the history of Chu State.

Even if Xiong Kuohai, Xiong Hui and Xiong Wu talked at night, explaining various pros and cons to Xiong Wu, Xiong Wu was still in a dilemma.

Not to mention his concubines, his heirs were escorted to Aocheng by the Duan family, after Han Xiangzi was defeated, how many troops could he gather when he returned to Chu, whether he was still supported by the people of Chu, and whether he could regain the throne from Xiong Heng.

All this is like looking for light in the fog, and he can't see a little light and hope.

In addition, Xiong Zhan has a lot of elites, and if he defects to Xiong Heng, he will definitely make the other party's forces more powerful.

Xiong Kuohai was in the same boat with him in Aocheng, set foot on the territory of Chu State, and according to his close relationship with Xiong Heng in the past, he would still change his mind.

He returned to the state of Chu, was imprisoned in Xiong Kui, Qian fearlessly betrayed the lord for glory, and the soldiers under the command of Han Xiangzi were severely damaged, and the situation in the state of Chu was not favorable to him at all.

As Emperor Chu Emperor, he will be reduced to the point of being alone.

However, time didn't give Xiong Wu much consideration.

On the fifth day after Han Xiangzi led the troops to evacuate, the Duan family, with the money and food they had accumulated for a long time, the family's cronies, and the royal family members of the Chu State who had been rescued at the risk, arrived in Aocheng.

Feng Yi and Han Xiangzi made peace talks and happened to return on the same day, bringing good news in favor of Yan Guo.

Instantly, the atmosphere of the city is full of joy.

Lin Feng ordered Ju Wentai to receive the Duan clan. Ji Tianfang, with Duan's cronies, instructed Hou Mingfeng, take Feng Yi, and Duan Chunqiu to visit Xiong Wu to make a final test.

If Xiong Wu was still stubborn, Lin Feng didn't plan to continue spending time on Xiong Wu. No matter how bad the Yan army is, after many years of conquest, doesn't it have the ability to fight on two fronts and annex the Chu State?

In the scorching summer, Duan Chunqiu took the melons and fruits brought from the Chu State, and Hou Mingfeng and Feng Yi went to visit Xiong Wu.

Duan Chunqiu shuttles through the Yan State and the Chu State all the year round, and with the rise of the Yan State, there are signs of domination of the world, and Duan Chunqiu no longer takes Xiong Wu in his eyes.

If it weren't for Lin Feng inviting him to show up and break the last barrier in Xiong Wu's heart, Duan Chunqiu would never have taken the liberty of meeting Xiong Wu.

A group of three people, under the protection of the ironclad cavalry, appeared in the imprisoned Xiongwu Station.

Hou Mingfeng took Feng Yi and Duan Chunqiu arrived in the living room, Xiong Wu was in the inner courtyard, discussing with Li Yuhe.

After learning of Li Yuhe's identity, Xiong Wu became wary of her, but Li Yuhe once protected her alone on a moonlit night, but Xiong Wu remembered it.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly walked in, witnessed Xiong Wu and Li Yuhe whispering, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Mingfeng brought Feng Yi and Duan Chunqiu to come, and he was in the front living room, and Hou Mingfeng claimed that he had something important to discuss with the emperor."

"What's the matter? It's not like you're trying to persecute me!" Xiong Wu's palm slapped the desk next to him, his face was bruised, and he said angrily.

The guard's body shook slightly, and he stammered: "Your Majesty, the old prince, and the fifth prince are receiving Hou Mingfeng, and I hope that the emperor must go to the living room, in addition, the old prince reminds the emperor that Feng Yi sent General Han to camp and seems to have reached an agreement with General Han in some aspects, and it is possible to escort the emperor back to Chu today."

"Feng Yi and Han Xiangzi reached an agreement, how is this possible?" When Xiong Wu heard this, he suddenly got up and said incredulously.

Not long ago, Feng Yi led the troops to participate in the pursuit of Han Xiangzi, resulting in heavy casualties among the Xuanjia soldiers, how dare Feng Yi dare to go to the Xuanjia barracks, even if he went to Han Xiangzi, he should kill Feng Yi, how could he reach an agreement with Feng Yi.

At this time, Li Yuhe paid attention to Xiong Wu's expression and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan did not achieve his goal by unscrupulous means, and the concubine guessed that Emperor Yan was very likely to send Feng Yi to Han Xiangzi's camp, not to mention, when Feng Yi went to the Chu State, the emperor was fettered and did not kill Feng Yi.

This time, the emperor was imprisoned by Emperor Yan, Han Xiangzi was somewhat restrained, and he must look forward to the future, and the concubines guessed that Feng Yi went to Han Xiangzi's camp, and most of them discussed with Han Xiangzi about releasing the emperor."

Hearing this, Xiong Wu waved his sleeves angrily, ignored Li Yuhe, turned around and strode out of Li Yuhe's bedroom, and went to the living room.

Regardless of whether Lin Feng released him or not, Xiong Wu was eager to know what agreement Feng Yi had reached with Han Xiangzi, and in addition, he hoped that through Feng Yi, he would learn about Han Xiangzi's military horses.

Approaching the living room, Xiong Wuda heard Hou Mingfenglang's laughter from afar, snorted fiercely, and walked into the living room.

Hou Mingfeng, Feng Yi, Duan Chunqiu, Xiong Kuohai, Xiong Hui witnessed Xiong Wu appear, Xiong Kuohai hurriedly moved, walked to Xiong Wu's side, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, General Feng brought news, Han Xiangzi led troops to garrison the north of Chu State, learned that Xiong Heng usurped the throne, and in the name of the emperor, he has issued a military order to call on the people and troops of Chu State to set out to Yingcheng to kill Xiong Heng, and is currently supported by the military and people of Chu State.

"Xiong Heng is in the courtyard of the deep palace, unless he is a top assassin, ordinary assassins don't want to hurt him in the slightest, not to mention, whether the news brought back by Feng Yi is true, whether it is involved in conspiracies and tricks, it is difficult to predict at present." Xiong Wu curled his eyelids and glanced at Feng Yi, and said very unhappily.

If he said that what he regretted the most in his life was that he did not kill Feng Yi ruthlessly in the Jinluan Palace of Chu State. Otherwise, he would never get into Lin Feng's trap.

The state of Chu will not be reduced to its current situation.

Hearing this, Feng Yi chuckled, took out a fold from his sleeve and sent it to Xiong Wu, and said with a smile: "Emperor Chu, you don't believe Feng, you should always believe Han Xiangzi, this is a letter entrusted by Han Xiangzi to Feng to Emperor Chu, if you are interested, you may wish to take a look, if you are not interested, you can use it as a piece of paper and throw it away."

Xiong Wu angrily took the excerpt sent by Feng Yi, without the slightest hesitation, Xiong Wu quickly opened the excerpt and read it in detail.

The excerpt is very simple, it is nothing more than to report to Xiong Wu the situation of the Chu State after Xiong Heng usurped the throne. And Han Xiangzi promised Lin Feng that if Xiong Wu was released, he would lead his troops to withdraw from the six northern counties of Chu and never invade Yan State.

Reading the contents of the excerpt, Xiong Wu was furious and threw the excerpt to the ground, shouting: "Han Xiangzi is bold and dares to make an agreement with Emperor Yan behind my back."

Xiong Kuohai hurriedly moved, picked up the fold that Xiong Wu was still on the ground, and read it in detail.

On the side, Feng Yi chuckled and said: "Emperor Chu, don't be ignorant, Han Xiangzi was born in a military family, and betrayed the Chu State in the military family, after you sent Xiong Kui to wash the Tibetan Soldier Valley with blood. Han Xiangzi was still loyal to you when you were imprisoned, which is already commendable.

At this moment, you already know Han Xiangzi's inner plan, and the Duan family also protects the royal family of Chu to come to the Divine Capital, if you are still obsessed, you will not regret it."

"I will never be with you petty people, let alone cede the six northern counties of Chu State!" Xiong Wu cut the railway, his expression was resolute, and there was no doubt.

At this time, Xiong Kuohai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, things are far from being as simple as imagined, at present, Han Xiangzi is gathering troops and preparing to conquer Xiong Heng, Xiong Zhan, who is far away in Yueguo, has not yet spoken out about Xiong Heng's usurpation, I suspect that when the situation in Yan and Chu is confusing, Xiong Zhan will never take the liberty of supporting Xiong Heng, so that Chu will fall into the quagmire of war when the Yan army is pressing.

If the emperor accepts Emperor Yan's request, takes advantage of Xiong Heng's usurpation of the throne and gains prestige, Han Xiangzi personally leads the troops to conscript, and Xiong Heng will not be able to jump on the throne for a few days!"

"That's right, the emperor, when the judgment is constantly suffering, you can't hesitate any longer," Xiong Hui glanced at Duan Chunqiu not far away, and had already realized that the Duan family had put Xiong Heng on the throne, but he chose to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and move the clan to Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, Xiong Heng usurped the throne and lost the assistance of the Duan family, and the situation must be difficult, even if he controls the army near Yingcheng, there are Han Xiangzi, Xiong Zhan, and other border generals. Xiong Wu raised his arms and shouted, he would definitely gather a lot of troops and easily quell Xiong Heng's rebellion!

After a moment of silence, Xiong Wu stared at Hou Mingfeng and said sharply: "Before leaving the Chu State, I must meet with Emperor Yan and visit my concubines and heirs by the way."

"Emperor Chu, the emperor has already gone to Mocheng, is Emperor Chu preparing to go to Mocheng?" Hou Mingfeng said loudly, refusing Xiong Wu's request, after all, before he came, Lin Feng had already reminded him that there was no need to be verbose with Xiong Wu.

It is best to successfully persuade Xiong Wu, and it is not necessary to spend time on Xiong Wu if he can't persuade him, so he believes that no matter what Xiong Wu asks, Lin Feng will not meet him in person, so why not refuse directly.

"Can't I even see my own heirs and concubines?" Hearing this, Xiong Wu glared at Hou Mingfeng angrily and gritted his teeth and asked.

"Can't!"

Hou Mingfeng shook his head slightly, and said: "If Emperor Chu agrees to my emperor's proposal and is willing to cede the land and hand over the six northern counties of Chu to the Yan State, Emperor Chu will be free immediately, Hou will personally escort Emperor Chu out of the city, if Emperor Chu is still obsessed, Emperor Chu will also prepare to go to the palace in the divine capital, and Hou will personally escort Emperor Chu out of the city, and send troops to protect Emperor Chu to the divine capital and enjoy the glory and wealth."

"Your Majesty, don't go to the Divine Capital!" Xiong Kuohai persuaded again, and the old tears were in his eyes.

Although they knew that it was a conspiracy for Lin Feng to release Xiong Wu and return to the Chu State, they had to return to the Chu State, even if they had a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they had to fight their best.

Xiong Hui also said sharply: "Your Majesty, you must not go to the Divine Capital, don't forget, you are the emperor of Chu State, how can you be kept in another garden like a pet."

At this moment, Xiong Wu's thoughts gradually changed, Xiong Hui was right, he was the emperor of Chu, not a pet in the garden.

What's more, what kind of life is the brocade clothes and jade food that Hou Mingfeng said, how can it be unclear that he has imprisoned the king of the enemy country.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head, stared at Duan Chunqiu, and said, "Duan Chunqiu, your Duan family betrayed me at a critical time, could it be that even the queen betrayed me, and before returning to the Chu State, can you let me meet the queen."

"Xiong Wu, is it the Duan family who betrays you, or you who betray the Duan family, we both have a scale in our hearts." Duan Chunqiu's expression was calm, and he said with a slight anger: "Although the Duan family has become the head of the vassal states from a small gate valve with the help of the Xiong family, the Chu State has still become the leader of the southern vassal states with the help of the Duan family, and once had the strength to dominate the world.

How can you betray the covenant between the Duan family and the Xiong family, and regard the Duan family as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, the Duan family has a great cause, how can you not protect yourself.

Whether Ya'er betrays you and betrays the Chu State, this is not something you should care about, first of all, Ya'er has the blood of the Duan family flowing in her body, she should think about the Duan family and always advance and retreat with the Duan family, and secondly, she is the queen of the Chu State.

Whether Ya'er is willing to meet or not, today, I will never agree!"

Hearing the sound, Xiong Wu's face gradually became cold as frost, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the phoenix was not as good as a chicken, he was the emperor of Chu State, but unexpectedly, even Duan Chunqiu didn't put himself in his eyes.

Clenching his fists tightly, he stared at Duan Chunqiu with fire-breathing eyes and said, "Duan Chunqiu, don't regret it, I will destroy the Duan family in my lifetime."

"Emperor Chu, don't be quick to speak, you still take the lead in solving the civil strife in Chu and defusing the Yan army Bingfeng, maybe in half a year or a year, we will meet in the divine capital, I hope Emperor Chu will not forget today's words!" Duan Chunqiu said with a contemptuous expression, not taking Xiong Wu in his eyes at all.

Today, even if Xiong Wu agreed to Lin Feng's request and returned to the Chu State, there were still many messes waiting for him to deal with, in the face of Xiong Heng's threat and the Yan State soldiers, Duan Chunqiu was convinced that even if Xiong Wu was a promising Ming Jun, he might not have dealt with the internal affairs of the Chu State, and he would be captured by Yan Jun again.

At that time, the vast territory of the Chu State must have been annexed by the Yan State, and Xiong Wu was once again reduced to a prisoner.

The two sides met again, the status disparity was huge, it would be the difference between cloud and mud, how could Xiong Wu be qualified to threaten the Duan clan.

"Duan Chunqiu, you are very good, very good, the mountains don't turn around, let's see." Xiong Wu raised his hand and pointed at Duan Chunqiu, shouted loudly, shook his sleeves suddenly, turned to Hou Mingfeng and said: "General Hou, I agree to Emperor Yan's request and am willing to cede the six northern counties of Chu State to Yan State, when will we sign a treaty?"

Hearing this, Xiong Kuohai, Xiong Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, Xiong Wu agreed to Emperor Yan's request couldn't be better, even if there were many problems in the Chu State, after gaining freedom, with their relatives and relatives of the Chu Emperor, in the imperial court and in the army, as long as they worked together to help Xiong Wu, they would definitely be able to easily solve the crisis of the Chu State.

Hou Mingfeng also smiled in his heart, as long as Xiong Wu agreed, according to the emperor's deployment, the next Chu State would be completely plunged into the war, Xiong Wu wanted to resolve the crisis of Chu, and said with a smile: "Emperor Chu is willing, sign a treaty at any time!"
