Half an hour later, the shopkeeper really brought hot food and wine, and he stood by the window to eat, drink and watch.

Soon, the officials who had been waiting for a long time under the scorching voice suddenly became energetic, and the ceremonial band played a joyful song.

A carriage of the Jinjin royal family slowly came over accompanied by hundreds of Zheng soldiers.

The four white-clothed men and women riding on the side of the carriage, all of them were flying elegantly, all of them were disciples of the Divine Determination Sect who cultivated with Ling Luo at the top of the Beiling Mountain, and the four horsemen on the other side were disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect, and they knew that it was indeed Ling Luo and Princess Tianlai.

But when they were in the carriage, they couldn't see anyone. After Akiba and the woman who was still holding the grunt fruit boarded the carriage, the officials greeted them and went straight into the new city.

A few days ago, the star worshippers came, and said that the son of the new city Taishou told them that the Sunset Sect had good luck this time, and there were great nobles.

Now that Bu Jingxian guessed that the great nobleman must be the eldest grandson of the king of Chu, Chu Gaoge was undoubted.

Chu Gaoge's fame in the hearts of the Chu people far exceeds that of his father, the current crown prince.

Today, the king of Chu had thirteen princes, and eleven of them died early. Chu Gaoge's father is ranked ninth, and he has no talent for martial arts, but fortunately, there are no mistakes and big shortcomings. Compared to another royal brother, it is still stronger. Therefore, after being made the crown prince, his position has always been stable.

After Chu Gaoge was born, the current King of Chu was very happy at that time. He is a Ming master, and he knows that his two surviving sons have no hope, so he pins his expectations on Chu Gaoge, the eldest grandson of the king. However, Chu Gaoge has been smart and talented since he was a child, so he naturally won the favor of the king of Chu. Even the king of Chu was drunk and lost his words, accusing Chu Gaoge's father and saying, 'You have no talent and no courage, but you gave birth to a dragon son.' He said that the throne will be passed on to you, but if you want the kingdom of Chu to prosper, it is not you who will be seen, but the eldest grandson of this king!'

Chu Gao sang and said that he would ascend to the throne, and everyone in Chu firmly believed in it. He is young but prestigious, and rightfully so.

Thinking of Chu Gaoge, thinking of the past, he was shocked by the emotions for a while.

Ling Luo sent an envoy to the state of Chu, and Chu Gaoge personally greeted him at the gate of the new city.

The people of Chu knew that Ling Luo was the son of Zheng Guozuo, the elder of Zheng Guozuo, the first disciple of the old man of Beiling, and the eldest brother of Chu Gaoge. All of them greeted each other warmly, and the new city was lit up with lights, singing and dancing everywhere. Every day, as long as I hear that Ling Luo and Chu Gaoge are traveling, both ends of the street are crowded with people to watch the excitement, and they all want to see the majestic posture of Ling Luo and Chu Gaoge, and the appearance of Princess Tianlai, who is known as the first beauty of Zheng Guo.

However, Princess Tianlai always wears a veil, which makes many Chu people secretly disappointed.

Ling Luo and Chu Gaoge were always together for three consecutive days, and others said that they had a deep relationship with their brothers. It is believed that Zheng and Chu will certainly be able to maintain peace and friendship for a long time. but they did not know what they were talking about.

After the dinner, Ling Luo and Chu Gaoge were alone in the study, calling people to retire, and guarding the door.

Chu Gaoge knew that this senior brother was finally going to talk about the topic, so he took it seriously.

"Second junior brother knows why I came to Chu?"

"I also asked the senior brother to make it clear that he was going to take the senior brother to Chudu for a while, but the senior brother said that the time was urgent. I think there is something big. ”

"South Korea betrayed Zheng Guo, ignored the peace of the alliance for many years, colluded with the Black Wolf Army, and used troops against Zheng Guo. In fact, the Black Wolf Army and South Korea will undoubtedly lose against Zheng's troops, although this battle cannot be achieved in a short time. But the junior brother knew that the Black Wolf Army was short of food and money, and South Korea was unable to supply it at all. In less than half a year, the Black Wolf Army will inevitably run out of money and food. ”

Chu Gaoge nodded yes.

"Senior brother is right, although the Black Wolf Army is brave and brave, it is brave and good at fighting. But the foundation is not strong, and it cannot afford to consume it for a long time. ”

"However, the Black Wolf Army knew that the situation was so much and took the initiative to start a war, it would be too unbelievable to say that they were just arrogant and thought that they could easily break through Zheng Du. ”

"What the senior brother said is reasonable, the Black Wolf Army has been able to have the momentum it has today, and it is by no means brave and unscrupulous. ”

"Therefore, the Black Wolf Army must hold on! One of them is Chen Guo, Chen and the new Wang Fangli, and reuse the Tianji Sect's Tianji Chengzi as the phase. And the junior disciple knows that the Tianji Sect is very unique, and each generation of the sect master heir must enter the world to experience, and use the real great achievements as the qualification proof to inherit the position of the sect master. It can be seen from this that Chen Guo's current Prime Minister Zuo must have great ambitions. Chen Guo is the richest power in the world, if grain and grass are provided, the Black Wolf Army will never have to worry about running out of food!"

Chu Gaoge nodded again and again.

"Senior brother's speculation is reasonable, this Chen Guo has always been generous about providing grain and grass, but he will never borrow troops to attack other countries. ”

"But that's not enough. Zheng Guo is strong and prosperous, and the world knows it. Even if the Black Wolf Army receives food and grass from Chen Guo, it still has to face the problem of insufficient weapons. Chen Guo's ordnance production was simply not enough to supply the Black Wolf Army's million lions, while Zheng Guo's national strength was enough to fight against the Black Wolf Army for five years. The Black Wolf Army is still bound to be defeated. ”

Chu Gaoge still nodded yes.

"The Black Wolf Army has food and grass but no ordnance, and at most it can only support a year's war of attrition. ”

Ling Luo took a sip of tea, stared at Chu Gaoge tightly, and continued, "The only one in the world who can supply the Black Wolf Army with enough ordnance is the Chu State!" he said, took out the book from his sleeve and put it in front of Chu Gaoge. "The strength of the Chu State lies in the military strength, with 700,000 male soldiers, even if Zheng Guo has 1.5 million male divisions, but if it is against the 700,000 army of the Chu State, there is no inevitable chance of victory. The strength of the Chu State lies not only in the 700,000 male soldiers, but also in the fact that Chu can be self-sufficient, no matter the grain, grass, or ordnance are enough to support the 700,000 male soldiers. However, in the past two years, the state of Chu has been buying ordnance from Chen, Yan, and Wei on a large scale. And Chu itself did not expand its army in large numbers. Second junior brother, why do you tell senior brother this?"

Chu Gaoge didn't open the book at all, he was stunned for a while, and finally met Ling Luo's gaze and said, "Since Senior Brother is here, Senior Brother doesn't dare to deal with it perfunctorily. After the junior brother returned to the palace, he learned that the Black Wolf Army had sent an envoy to Chu two years ago. Discussed the matter of forming an alliance to attack Zheng, and promised that the land of Zheng State would be divided into three parts of Chu, two into Wei, one into Han, two into Yan, and two into the Black Wolf Army. He was also willing to take the lead in raising troops to contain the main forces of the Zheng army to gather in the southwest, west, and northwest, so as to facilitate the advance of Chu, Wei, and Yan. Grain and grass were supplied by the state of Chen, and ordnance was supplied by the state of Chu. ”

"The senior brother is so honest, and the senior brother is grateful. ”

"Senior brother should believe that junior brother does not support this matter. Once the Black Wolf Army took possession of the land of Zheng State, it would have a foundation of money and food. Even if Zheng Guo were to perish as a result, its Black Wolf Army would become an even more ambitious overlord than Zheng Guo. However, at that time, Wei and Yan had already agreed, with the military surname of the Black Wolf Army, they were either friends or enemies, and it was very likely that they would instead attack Chu through Han and Chen, and replace Chu in the alliance with Zheng. At that time, the situation was compelled, and the promised benefits were very much conceding to Chu Xiang, so a verbal agreement was made. ”

Ling Luo listened quietly and interrupted without saying a word.

"Now it is also difficult to ride a tiger, and since the junior brother returned to the palace, he has been trying to dissuade him, so the ordnance that was originally promised to the Black Wolf Army has not been handed over. ”

Ling Luo nodded and said with a smile, "Senior brother really values affection, understands the overall situation, and keeps his promises." Of course, the king of Chu must have difficulties in this matter, and the junior brother can tell him bluntly. ”

"Senior brother is good. For example, Chu Zhu Zheng is not afraid of being said to be capricious, and it was originally only a verbal agreement. But it was difficult to explain to the soldiers. The junior brother thought of a plan for this, and the senior brother saw if it was useful. Chu Gaoge said that he approached Ling Luo and said in a low voice, "The Black Wolf Army has no chance of winning if it cuts off the ordnance supplied by the Chu State, but it is still able to resist stubbornly, which is bound to delay the war, which is not good for anyone." If the State of Chu contained the State of Yan and at the same time sent troops to attack Chen, so that the grain and grass of the State of Chen could not be supplied to the Black Wolf Army, then the war would inevitably end in a short period of time. ”

Chu Gaoge proposed this, obviously on the condition that Zheng Guo would not interfere with Chu Huachen in order to agree to defect. Ling Luo weighed the pros and cons, and finally smiled and nodded, "Senior brother is really good at planning, I expect King Zheng to appreciate it too." But there will be many dangers and obstacles, and Zheng Guo will definitely have no time to contribute......"

"Senior brother, rest assured, Chu Guo will take on the big things of Chen. ”

"In addition, there are all kinds of things that King Zheng told him before leaving, and he has already explained it to his junior brother in the letter, I don't know if there will be any results?"

Chu Gaoge's face was full of shame. "I'm ashamed! It is true that the prince of Zhou was extremely secretive and cautious, and the junior brother investigated in many ways, and only knew that he had indeed left the barbarian tribe in the southern part of the border, but whether he had entered Chu or not, and where he was now, there was no clue at all. But although the senior brother can rest assured, the junior brother must be attentive in this matter! The Zhou royal family has long existed in name only, and now it is only a city, and Zheng Guo's soldiers and horses are still guarding it. Now that the fate of the Zhou Emperor is on the verge of death, no one can inherit the throne, and no successor of the Zhou royal family is a good thing for Zheng Guo, a good thing for Chu State, and a good thing for all countries in the world. Don't say that the Chu State does not allow the prince of the Yue Clan to return to the Zhou State, even South Korea will never want to see the Yue Clan return to the Zhou State. ”
