Chapter Seventy-Six: The King of Chu Replied

Seeing that the Marquis of Wei threw the reply letter of the King of Chu to the ground in an uproar, the princes were startled, and when they saw the obvious anger on the face of the Marquis of Wei, no one made a sound. Qi Hou www.biquge.info, who had the deepest opinion on the opposition to continuing southward just now, also closed his mouth tightly, stopped speaking, and decided to watch Wei Hou's next reaction while slowing down his face, which had just turned red from excitement.

After a while, Wei Hou sat down, but he still didn't say anything, Han Hou, who happened to be sitting not far from Wei Hou, looked at Wei Hou, and slowly bent down to pick up the bamboo slip.

Han Hou's movements were very slow, he just wanted to see Wei Hou's reaction, and when he saw it, he was about to hold it in his hands, and Wei Hou's eyes didn't slant before he said, "Let's take a look." ”

Only then did Han Hou put the bamboo slip on the table in front of him and opened it, and looked at it. It was read quickly, but Han Hou's expression did not change, and the bamboo slip was passed on to the next prince.

In this way, the bamboo slips passed through the hands of one prince after another, including Quliang, the prince of Qin, and finally into the hands of the Marquis of Qi.

In fact, Qi Hou was interested in the content of King Chu's reply for a long time, but Han Hou sat on the right side of Wei Hou, and he sat on Wei Hou's left.

When the bamboo slip came over, Qi Hou coughed a few times before taking it over, spread it flat on the table, frowned and looked down, only to see that it was densely packed with the bird seals of the Chu State, fortunately, as the lord of the princes, all Chinese languages were basically recognized, squinting a pair of small eyes for a long time, Qi Hou finally figured out what the King of Chu meant.

Closing the bamboo slip, Qi Hou closed his eyes and sighed, but soon opened his eyes and handed the bamboo slip to the waiter beside him, and the waiter was stunned and held it back in front of Wei Hou, Wei Hou Tie blushed and did not take it, after snorting, a general behind Wei Hou quickly took it over and retreated.

There was silence in the tent, and after Wei Hou looked around at the surrounding princes, he waved his hand and said, "Withdraw the troops, this Fengze Alliance will end here, and I hope that you will join the Son of Heaven together, don't hope for the covenant!" ”

In fact, except for the Wei people, none of the rest of the people in this tent did not want to withdraw immediately, so as soon as they heard the alliance leader say this, they immediately gave up their hands and said yes, and it was indispensable to add a few words such as Wei Hou's might, and the soldiers and horses scared off the Chu soldiers before they met.

However, Wei Hou was not happy, and after snorting coldly, he waved his hand and said, "Where the Son of Heaven is, the widow will go to report the good news." ”

After a pause, Wei Hou added another sentence, "Well, the widow invited the Son of Heaven here, but there are two things, one is to seal the uncle, this matter is over, and the other is to congratulate me on moving the capital to Daliang, and this matter will invite the world next year." ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Hou's body shook, and before the other princes in the tent could react, he gave up his hand and left.

Looking at the back of Wei Hou leaving, Qi Hou smiled slightly, no, it should be said that there was a slight sneer. At first, there was silence in the tent, but later the princes took their leave. Qi Hou closed his eyes, and the content of the letter from the King of Chu appeared in front of him, in fact, hundreds of words were sprinkled, and it was summed up in one sentence, the widow (King of Chu) retreated, but for the sake of Zhou Tianzi's face, he didn't dare to fight with Zhou Tianzi, not to look at your Wei Hou's face, don't hold the Son of Heaven hostage if you have the ability, let's fight alone.

Hum! Recalling King Chu's words, Qi Hou couldn't help but snort coldly, Zhou Tianzi had a fart face, but he couldn't win the fight, and he wanted to slap Wei Hou in the face.

But this face is good, thinking of Wei Hou's iron face, Qi Hou is happy in his heart, knowing that this is the King of Chu slapping Wei Hou's face, Qi Hou also cooperated and said congratulations to Wei Hou for scaring away the King of Chu, yes, this is helping the King of Chu to slap his face, and more than one prince did this, Han Hou Lu Hou Qin Gongzi said so, except for Song Wei and several small countries, they all congratulated him like this. This kind of congratulations can't make Wei Hou return the favor, the people have a good face since ancient times, and the king of Chu claimed to be Zhou Tianzi's face before retreating, which made Wei Hou have to swallow it.

Thinking about it carefully, the king of Chu chose a good time at this time, it just so happened that all the princes were in the tent, and the king of Chu's reply had to be shown to everyone publicly, and the marquis of Wei couldn't do much to cover the sky with one hand.

The king of Chu must have spies in the Wei army, or among the coalition forces, after thinking about it, the Marquis of Qi came to this conclusion, so he opened a pair of small eyes, arched his hand at the few princes who had not left, and shook his body and left.

Besides, Wei Hou, Tie Qing walked out of the tent with a face and walked towards his tent. The Chu army did retreat without a fight, but Wei Hou at this time was not happy at all, although from the actual analysis, the Chu army was most likely scared away by the mighty momentum of his own commander of the allied army, but the reply of the king of Chu was like a fly, so that Wei Hou had to swallow it.

Wei Hou really wanted to lead his troops to catch up, Wei Hou believed that with the speed and momentum of Wei Wu's pawn, he would definitely be able to fight a rout, but he couldn't do it, the king of Chu had already admitted defeat, even if it was not to him but to Zhou Tianzi, Wei Hou couldn't find a good name to catch up, and there were more than a dozen princes here, which one of them was willing to pursue together?

And what disgusted Wei Hou the most was that those princes and lords actually congratulated themselves one after another, obviously reading the reply of the king of Chu, knowing that the king of Chu was saying to save Zhou Tianzi's face, but he still came to congratulate himself, isn't this a clear sarcasm of himself? Especially the two countries of Qi and Lu, Wei Hou is very unhappy when he thinks about it, and the princes of other countries and even small countries like Song Wei also congratulate him, and he really can't wait to transfer troops to arrest these princes. But the Marquis of Wei really didn't dare to do this, the princes of more than a dozen countries, not to mention that they all had a total of tens of thousands of troops, and they couldn't catch them at all, even if they were all caught, Wei would become the public enemy of the world, but not all the princely states were as weak as the Zhou royal family.

Wei Hou didn't dare to do this, but while walking, Wei Hou finally thought of a point of anger, yes, it was the little colonel who came to report the news, damn it, knowing that so many princes were there, he swaggered to send the letter of the king of Chu, and cut him tomorrow, no, he wanted to divide the corpse of five horses, and he wanted to destroy his whole clan.

Thinking about it like this, Wei Hou felt much more comfortable in his heart.

Soon he walked to the door of his camp, and Wei Hou's footsteps suddenly stopped, startling the several generals who were following closely behind him almost couldn't stop and almost crashed into him. Wei Hou suddenly thought that even if so many princes read the letter of the king of Chu, it would not be circulated very widely, and even if it was circulated, everyone knew that it was the strategy of the king of Chu.

Isn't that what Qi Huan Jinwen did? Wei Hou suddenly slapped his high-fives, yes, he did the same himself, and he made public the letter of the King of Chu, but he looked tall. Touting the Son of Heaven on the surface, in fact, everyone in the world should be able to see that this is their own credit, don't people in the world have to say that the princes and uncles are worthy of their names!

Just do it, Wei Hou immediately turned around, "Gather all the generals and doctors to discuss in the widow's tent!" ”

"No!" The herald ran down quickly. As for the little school, he had already been forgotten by Wei Hou at this time, and he didn't know that he had already walked back and forth at the Ghost Gate, no, the whole family had gone back and forth at the Ghost Gate.

At the same time, in the tent of the Zhou room, where the Hou Wei did not care at all, and only realized the identity of the Son of Heaven in the end, Wang Sunman hurriedly ran back, and as soon as he walked into the king's tent, he shouted anxiously, "The king, as the king expected, Chu Zi took revenge on the king and pushed the king out." ”

"What?" In the tent, Zhou Bian was talking with Ning Yue Fan Yu about the situation after the Chu army retreated, and saw Wang Sunman hurriedly running into a panic and sitting down, Zhou Bian asked.

"I just got the news, and in his reply, the king of Chu really said that he would avoid the king and withdraw from the army." As soon as he sat down, Wang Sunman said the main point, and then turned his head to look at Ning Yue, "As Dr. Ning said, maybe Marquis Wei will think that this time in the south, my royal family will steal his limelight, and it may cause Marquis Wei's dissatisfaction with my royal family." ”

"Perhaps, the King of Chu is beating Wei Hou's face. It seems that there are many people who know. Ning Yue frowned and said.

"Yes, the messenger sent by the Marquis of Wei to the Chu army just ran in when the Marquis of Wei convened the princes to discuss the matter, and the Marquis of Wei couldn't hide the reply of the king of Chu, and all the princes had read the reply of the king of Chu." Wang Sunman replied.

"The purpose of the King of Chu is here, of course, in essence, the King of Chu retired because he felt that he could not win, which is also the best reason for his withdrawal. Well, the king of Chu must have spies in the Wei army, otherwise it would not be so coincidental to send a reply in front of all the princes. "What Qi Hou can think of, Ning Yue naturally can think of too.

"I'm afraid that Marquis Wei will be angry with my Zhou room." Wang Sunman was still a little worried.

"Probably not." Ning Yue said affirmatively. "Wei Hou is not a fool, he will not think of what the King of Chu means, if Wei Hou wanted to anger my royal family, he would have done it a long time ago."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Bian also smiled, "Doctor Man, you are too worried, how could Wei Hou know that the Chu people had come into contact with us?" ”

In fact, just two days ago, when Fan Yu was wandering alone in the camp, he was suddenly stopped by a small soldier, who claimed to be a Chu man and had something important to ask to see the Son of Heaven. Of course, Zhou Bian would not go to meet strangers, so after Fan Yu came back, a few people discussed, and found an opportunity, Ning Yue met with the Chu people, and then they knew that the Chu people wanted the royal family to do internal response, and the internal and external cooperation would break the alliance, which would destroy the prestige of the overlord of Wei for the Chu State, and for the royal family, it was just out of the control of the Wei Hou. For fear that the people of the royal family would not be worried, the Chu people also said it, and also contacted the princes of the three kingdoms to do internal responses together, as long as the royal family nodded here to act.

Ning Yue didn't say anything on the spot, but immediately reported to Zhou Bian after coming back, in fact, when he first heard this, everyone was a little moved, who didn't want to get rid of Wei Hou's control and go back to Luoyang, but after the four of them discussed for a while, they all felt that this was a circle, first of all, if the Chu State really contacted the three princes to do the internal response, then why should more than 100 people in the Zhou room do the internal response? Could it be that the king of Chu also needs the righteousness of the king of Zhou? Secondly, even if the state of Chu really needs the royal family to do internal response, then if the Chu army defeats the allied forces led by the state of Wei, then the royal family is likely to fall into the hands of the state of Chu, and it is really better to stay here with the marquis of Wei. Again, even if the Wei army is defeated and the royal family flees back, don't forget, Anyi is only a five-day rapid march from Luoyang, even if the Wei army can't defeat the Chu army, can't it unite with South Korea to fight Luoyang again?

Therefore, the spies of the Chu army soon received a reply, but the royal family politely refused.

However, the royal family was used to being cautious, and soon Ning Yue and the others began to worry about whether the Chu State would retaliate. Although no one knows the King of Chu, who knows what he will do when he thinks that the King of Chu is more than a hundred miles away?

So during this time, Wang Sunman, Ning Yue, Fan Yu and others went out to find out the news, and for the letter from the King of Chu, Wei Hou did not give an order to cover it up, in fact, even if he gave the order, those princes and lords would still say it. Wei Hou wanted to brush up his prestige in front of the princes of the world, but he picked up a stone and hit his own feet, and was so resolved by a small move by the King of Chu, otherwise if it was just the Wei army and the Zhou family, Wei Hou would not have taken care of the letter from the King of Chu. Therefore, Wang Sunman did not know the general content of the letter from the king of Chu too long later than the Marquis of Qi.

In Wang Sunman's view, using the royal family as a reason to withdraw from the army to slap Wei Hou in the face is the king of Chu killing two birds with one stone, not only slapping Wei Hou in the face, but also taking revenge on the royal family.

Wei Hou can be cheeky to inform the world that his allies have repelled the Chu army, and he doesn't have to care too much about just face, but the Zhou royal family can't help but consider a series of problems caused by their own overthrow.

After listening to the news from Wang Sunman, Zhou Bian Ning Yue and the others immediately fell silent, and every high-level member of the royal family here needed to calm down and think carefully about the problems that might result from this.

Soon, everyone decided in their hearts that this was the revenge of the King of Chu, but Ning Yue slapped him and said loudly, "What a reply, what a good one kills three birds with one stone, there must be a capable person under Chu Zi!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Bian raised his head.

Wang Sunman also looked over curiously, because he couldn't think of the third eagle.

"First, humiliated the Marquis of Wei, second, lifted my royal family to the face, although the Marquis of Wei also did this, but Chu Zi did this because he couldn't get along with the Marquis of Wei, this should be Chu Zi's revenge, but according to it, Chu Zi will not care about my royal family, so these two points should be one point, to bring out my royal family is to humiliate the Marquis of Wei, and to humiliate the Marquis of Wei needs to be lifted out of my royal family, it was originally two and one, one and two things, but in the eyes of my royal family, it is two things." Ning Yue said.

"Then the third, from Ning's point of view, Chu Zi must know that if there is no internal response, he will not be able to defeat Wei Hou's allies, or or, there is a problem within the Chu army, so he has to withdraw his troops, this is an excuse for himself." Ning Yue said slowly.

"But if you say so, it's actually three and one, one and three." Zhou Bian smiled.

"That's true. It's just that what is going on inside the Chu army, it's useless to speculate, let's talk more about how Marquis Wei will look at my royal family! Ning Yue said.

Next, there was a heated discussion, however, in the face of a huge gap in strength, even superb wisdom can not have a great effect, to put it simply, it is nothing more than to inquire about the news first, and then show favor to Wei Hou, or show weakness to Wei Hou or something, originally Ning Yue also said that he would communicate with the monarchs of Qi Han and other countries, but it was quickly vetoed, and the royal family was pushed to the front of the stage by the King of Chu, and he jumped up and down, is it not enough to attract the attention of Wei Hou?

Although it took a long time to discuss countermeasures, in the end, Ning Yue and Wang Sunman had to go to find out the news and pass on the information, of course, the object was the Wei people, and they had to say some good things.

Maybe many years later, when Zhou Bian recalled this scene, he was worried about a few words from King Chu, and he couldn't help but laugh.

However, what people didn't expect was that Ning Yue brought back the news a day later, it turned out that Wei Hou didn't think about blaming the royal family at all, this news came from Gongzi Ang, the accuracy is undoubted, it seems that Wei Hou, who is a generation of male lords, will not blame others for the humiliation of the king of Chu at all, which makes Zhou Bian silent.

I can't help but suffer from gains and losses, if Wei Hou blames, he is naturally worried, if Wei Hou does not blame, but there is a little loss, is my dignified Zhou royal family so unphotogenic in Wei Hou's heart? (I haven't updated it for a month, I didn't think there are more than 2,000 collections, thank you!) I'm sorry too! )
