After an appointment with the Chu State League, Du Raid had no reason to stay here longer, and the next morning, Du Raid bid farewell to Liu Biao and went straight to the east.

Du Xi did not hide his deeds, and his movements were reported by the city gate guards to Liu Biao and others who were discussing state affairs.

Liu Biao has changed significantly compared with before, wearing a black and red python robe, his face is still wrinkled, but his eyes are not as cloudy as before, and they have become shining, if Du Biao is still here, he must be able to find that Liu Biao has a vitality that he did not have before, which is in stark contrast to the previous influence.

Hearing Du Xian's movements, Liu Biao's brows wrinkled even deeper, he tugged at the beard under his chin, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at the people below and asked, "You say, what kind of medicine is sold in this Wei gourd?" ”

Kuai Liang bowed his hand and said, "King Wei may want to follow the example of the Warring States and implement the strategy of connecting horizontal and vertical. ”

Liu Biao nodded, judging from Du Xian's actions, his destination was very clear, it was to go to Jiangdong Wuguo, and I am afraid that he was also going to form an alliance.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of grievances between Wu and Chu, and the dispute between Wu and Chu has appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then during the Warring States Period, Wu Land was incorporated into the Chu State, and it has always been a wound for the Wu people, so Wu Chu was established successively, and the dispute between Wu and Chu was once again placed on the bright side.

"Then you say that the Wei State follows the example of the Warring States Period, what is their purpose, is it just for a Yuan Shu?"

Even Liu Biao himself didn't believe this, let alone the Kuai brothers.

Kuai Yue's mind on the side was racing, and the situation in various places kept flipping in his mind, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and arched his hand and said: "King, I'm afraid that the Wei State is going to make a move against the Lu State." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue, as the chief strategist of his subordinates, Liu Biao was quite sure of his ability.

"Back to the king, Wei is adjacent to the Jin State in the north, and it is across the river, its national strength is not comparable to the Wei State, and the Jin King Yuan Shao's statement is far and wide, and there are many talents under his command, although it was defeated by the Tang State, but it is still not an existence that the Wei State can match."

"The west of Wei is a division, it has experienced several disruptions, and it has long been ten rooms and nine empty, and occupying the division will become a drag, so Wei only has to go east or south,"

"Now that the King of Wei has sent envoys to form an alliance, the intention is obvious, wanting to rely on Chu and Wu to contain Yuan Shu, and the next step for Wei will definitely be to advance eastward and swallow up Lu."

A flash of fire flashed in Liu Biao's eyes, the covenant had been signed, and now it was too late to regret it, and he couldn't vent the evil anger in his heart.

Anyone who is calculated for no reason will be angry, let alone the dignified King of Chu.

"You say, 'What should Lone do about this covenant?' Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

Although Liu Biao suppressed the anger in his heart, as his left and right arms, they could still hear the anger hidden in Liu Biao's heart.

The Kuai brothers glanced at each other, they were all wholeheartedly in favor of the alliance, and they were also caught off guard by Du Raid's actions, for a few days, they had never heard Du Raid say anything about it, but since it was a foregone conclusion, they could only try to speak for Wei Guo.

"Great King, this is just an alliance between the Wei State and the Wu State, and it has no impact on my Chu State, besides, it is not a good thing for the Wu State to share the pressure from Yuan Shu." Kuai Yue said calmly.

"What about you, what do you think?" Liu Biao then turned his head to Kuai Liang and Cai Mao, obviously Kuai Yue's words did not satisfy Liu Biao.

The two glanced at each other, and Kuai Liang said: "King, if you have any doubts, you might as well invite Du Xi and the others back to Xiangyang, and then the intentions of the Wei State will be known as soon as you ask." ”

Cai Mao didn't understand why Kuai Liang said this, but when he saw Kuai Yue's secret envoy's eyes, he nodded and said, "Please give the king an order, and the end will immediately block the checkpoint to Wu State." ”

Liu Biao suddenly sighed and said, "That's it, let him go, anyway, Wu Chu is quite calm now." ”

Three days later, Du Xun had already passed through the hinterland of Chu and arrived at the border of Wu and Chu.

Du Raid showed his identity to the guard, and the guard immediately sent someone to send Du Raid and others to the national capital, Wu Di water system was developed, Du Raid abandoned the car and changed the boat, and with the Wu Guoshi down the river, he went straight to Wu County, the capital of Wu State.

This time, Du Xun did not receive a cold reception when he first arrived in the state of Chu, on the contrary, when he heard that he was an envoy of the state of Wei, Sun Jian, the king of Wu, was happy to receive him.

It was almost noon when Du attacked him, and Sun Jian, who was the king of Wu, met him in person, and now Sun Jian has also faded away from some of the fierce momentum of the former generals, and has been in a high position for a long time, replaced by a temperament that is not angry and self-authoritative.

"After a long time, I don't know if King Wei is good?" Sun Jian did not directly ask Du Xi about the purpose of his trip, but asked about Cao Cao's recent situation as usual.

"Thank you King Wu for your care, King Wei is in good health, and he often misses King Wu. Du Xian's words were half-truths and half-falses, and before leaving, Cao Cao naturally briefly said his friendship with Sun Jian, as for what he missed, of course, it was what he said.

"Haha, it's rare that Meng De still remembers Lonely." Sun Jian smiled loudly, seemed to believe Du Xian's words, and then said: "Your envoy has come from afar, and the boat and car are tired, please go down to rest first, and set up a banquet in the palace alone at night to wash the dust for your envoy." ”

Du Xi saw Sun Jian's direct address to Cao Cao's cousin, obviously the relationship between the two was okay, and he suddenly had a grasp of the alliance in his heart, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your love." Du Xi bowed and bowed, and then followed the chamberlain out of the palace.

At night, Sun Jian directly set up a feast in the palace, and invited important ministers of Wu to accompany him, which gave Wei enough face, which made Du Xi feel flattered.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Zhao, who was the prime minister of Wu State, took the lead in asking: "I don't know why your envoy came on behalf of King Wei?" ”

Hearing Zhang Zhao's words, the banquet instantly quieted down, and they all looked at Du Xian, even Sun Jian put down his wine glass, turned his head to look at Du Xian, and waited for his reply.

Only the sound of silk and bamboo was left in the room, and it still echoed in everyone's ears.

Du Xi bowed his hand and said: "Don't hide it from King Wu and the ministers, this trip is specially to discuss the alliance between Wei and Wu. ”

After listening to Du Xi's words, many ministers in the house began to talk about each other.

"Ahem." Sun Jian coughed, and the noise in the room disappeared instantly, and he asked, "How does Meng De want to form an alliance?" ”

Du Xi will re-relay what Liu Biao said, and then wait for Sun Jian's reply.

Before Sun Jian could say anything, Zhang Hong on the side said: "I heard that your envoy is from the Western Chu State, I don't know if it's true?" ”
