Qingji has already made the biggest concession, which is naturally what the Chu people like to see.

Shudi, Que, Yongpu, and An, the three cities along the river have been captured by the Wu army, and the Wu and Chu armies are holding each other on the front line.

At this time, if the war continues, it will be of no benefit to Wu and Chu at all!

Therefore, when Meng Huan said the conditions for peace talks offered by Qingji, Ling Yin Nangwa immediately came out and said: "Guotai, the minister thinks that he might as well agree to the conditions of the Wu people and promote the alliance between the soldiers!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"What Ling Yin said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!"

A group of ministers and doctors in the court immediately stood up and agreed with Nangwa's proposition.

They are not all lords and factions!

However, there are many nobles and feudal lords in the Chu State, and once the war starts, especially this kind of war to protect the family and defend the country, the war has burned to the land of the Chu State.

For them, if this battle continues, there will be a hundred harms and no benefits!

Therefore, they are naturally reluctant to fight Wu Guo to the end.

"Guotai, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

Shen Baoxu was still arguing on the basis of reason, and said hatefully: "Now it is clearly the Wu army who is in trouble, why does my Chu State still have to make peace, grovel to the Wu people, and seek perfection?" ”

"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Guotai, Wu Jun has reached the end of the mountain, internal and external difficulties, please Guotai Mingjian! ”

"Increase the troops in order to break the Wu army, completely recover the lost territory, and enable all my captured Chu army officers and soldiers to return to the country!"

Hearing this, before Meng Huan could speak, the bag tile on the side couldn't help but sneer and said, "Doctor Shen, increase the troops?" Don't know where to send troops? Could it be that you Shen Baoxu personally went to the battlefield? ”

"The state of Wu has already given in, and my state of Chu now only needs to spend a thousand eridium in gold to cede a long shore to end this war. Isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

"You!"

Shen Baoxu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "Zichang, you are obviously betraying the country!" ”

"Cutting land to Wu Manzi and asking for peace, losing land and humiliating the country is like a heartache! The four riverside cities of Chang'an, Que, Yongpu, and Shore of my Chu State are not able to make such concessions? ”

"That's the city and land that my Chu ancestors have been getting only after a huge bloody sacrifice, how can it be ceded to the Wu State?"

"There are still tens of thousands of prisoners of war of the Chu army who are still detained in Wudi, how can they forget?"

The conditions for peace talks offered by Qingji seem to be that the state of Chu has earned, but in fact it is the state of Chu that suffers!

However, if the state of Chu does not consider itself unlucky, what can it do?

Nangwa said angrily: "Shen Baoxu, do you think that this Ling Yin is willing to give up the inheritance left by his ancestors? However, the situation is compelled, so what can I do? ”

"This heavy blood debt, we Chu people can only write it down for the time being, and in the future, when our Chu country recovers, we will definitely be able to recover the lost territory and be ashamed of the Wu country!"

Hearing this, Meng Huan was helpless, and finally made a decision: "The intention of mourning the family, agree to all the conditions offered by Wu Guo." After that, the mourning family and the king will celebrate the Ji meeting in Zhaoguan and make an alliance to kill soldiers! ”

"Kokutai is wise!"

Seeing Meng Huan make such a choice, the ministers and doctors present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After getting off the court meeting, Ling Yin Nangwa took the car back to his mansion.

A middle-aged man who was not good-looking waited in the study house for a long time, and when he saw Nangwa at this moment, after learning that the State of Chu had agreed to all the conditions offered by the State of Wu, he gave all the boxes of gold that had been prepared to Nangwa.

"Please tell King Wu. If in the future, King Wu still asks Ben Ling Yin to speak in front of my king and Guotai, you can speak as bluntly. ”

"Well said, well said."

Wu Envoy looked at the greedy bag tile in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain in his heart.

Betraying the country to seek glory is talking about people like Nangwa!

What's even more unexpected is that such a person who is greedy for money and forgets his righteousness, betrays the country and seeks glory, actually occupies a high position in the Chu State Ling Yin, under one person, and above 10,000 people!

Valley taste

This is naturally an extremely sad thing for the Chu State.

As Ling Yin, Nangwa's right to speak in the court of Chu is undoubted.

Therefore, if Qingji wants to reach a peace agreement between Wu and Chu as soon as possible, and does not suffer a big loss, it is undoubtedly the best choice to find Nangwa to intercede and take the opportunity to bribe Nangwa!

……

In 512 B.C., at the beginning of March of the second year of King Qingji of Wu, Wu and Chu signed an alliance between Wu and Chu.

The Wu army withdrew from Shudi and returned all nine cities in Shudi to the Chu State.

The state of Chu recognized the ownership of the three cities along the river of Que, Yongpu and An, and ceded the long bank on the side of the river, and paid 500 eridium gold, as well as silk, grain, rice, hemp, animal skins and other items equivalent to 500 eridium gold.

At the same time, Wu released 75 noble generals of Chu State, including Right Sima Miji, to show his sincerity.

It seems to be a happy situation for all.

But it is Wu Guo who really only makes money and does not lose.

The four riverside cities of Chang'an, Que, Yongpu and 'an allowed Wu to build a strong defense line and gain control of both sides of the Yangtze River, and could be used as a bridgehead for the invasion of Chu, and was invincible.

As for the 1,000 eridium gold, or the equivalent, it can fill the originally empty treasury of the Wu State a lot.

Subsequently, Qingji will also make an alliance with the young King Xiong Zhen of Chu in Zhaoguan.

And at this time, Qingji was still visiting the hermit Ji Ran in Gusu Mountain!

This is the third time Qingji has personally visited Ji Ran.

For the first time, Ji Ran went out to travel to the Five Lakes and did not return!

The second time, Qingji heard that Ji Ran went out to visit friends, and he didn't know when he would return.

This made Qingji have to suspect that Ji Ran was testing his sincerity.

Three visits to the thatched house?

Qingji didn't mind doing that.

Although he is a monarch who has a lot of opportunities, he can still put down his body and break the corporal!

"Mr. Fumiko hasn't returned yet?"

"Back to the king, my husband has come back and is taking a lunch break. Since the king is here, please let the villain inform the sir! ”

"Mr. Fumiko has already fallen asleep, so there is no need to disturb him. It is enough for the widow to wait here. ”

This routine is inexplicably familiar!

Qingji was speechless, but he didn't let Ji Ran's scholar wake him up.

I've been visiting three times in a row, and I don't mind boarding it for some more time.

So, Qingji sat in the study room and waited, closing his eyes and recuperating!

Xiong Zidan, who was on the side, was very puzzled and asked: "King, please forgive the minister, this Xin Wenzi has avoided the king several times, isn't he entertaining me?" ”

"Pastime? It's just a temptation. ”

Qingji smiled indifferently and said: "The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king!" Xin Wenzi had the right to choose the monarch to whom he was loyal. ”

"If a widow can't even look at the thatched house three times, and has no perseverance, how can he talk about seeking talent?"

Hearing this, Xiong Zidan suddenly realized and said, "The king is wise! ”

As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the master and do things!

If Ji Ran wants to test Qingji, it is naturally understandable.

After all, Ji Ran himself didn't have to be a celebrity, so that he could leave a name in history and hear the princes' desire to pursue fame and fortune!
