Chapter 144: Wu Jian is unsheathed
At present, the situation between Wu and Chu has entered a new stage.
The state of Wu fought for many years, exhausted its troops, and was unable to continue to carry out reform of the law, which could hardly pose too much threat to the state of Chu.
The state of Chu is facing a huge threat from the northern overlord Jin State, coupled with the continuous wars for a long time, it needs to recuperate and restore its national strength.
Therefore, it is completely feasible for Wu Chu to reach an agreement between Wu and Chu to conclude an alliance of soldiers!
Even if Wu changed his law in the future, the first aggressive target would be Yue, not Chu.
Meng Huan was able to acquiesce to Wu Guo's approach for the time being.
If Wu no longer sends troops to attack Chu, Chu will no longer join with Yue to invade Wu.
As for whether war broke out between Jin and Chu, it is believed that the state of Wu, which has already taken care of itself, will not be able to participate in it.
Just when Qingji and Meng Huan were talking happily, Shen Zhuliang, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Qingji, got up immediately, and saluted to the top head: "The king, Mrs. Tai, your subordinates think that King Wu is a distinguished guest, and Chu is the host, and it is too boring to be entertained with dance, music, wine and meat. ”
"What is Shen Qing's proposal?"
Meng Huan pretended to be curious.
Shen Zhuliang replied: "Chu and Wu both have a martial style, and the soldiers are skilled in bows and horses. ”
"This ......"
Meng Huan seemed hesitant.
At this moment, seeing the posture of the Chu people, Qingji was silent on the surface, but in fact, he already knew what wishful thinking they were making behind their backs.
The two countries will be allied, and they will often have a feast and a hunt, and they can talk about it.
However, entering the turbulent era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "ugly things" that happened in the alliance abounded!
For example, King Qin Zhaoxiang used the excuse of the alliance to trick King Chu Huai into going to Wuguan and detaining him.
At the meeting of Michi, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji forced King Zhao Huiwen to play again, and asked the historian to record this incident to humiliate Zhao Guo, but fortunately, Zhao State's minister Lin Xiangru was witty and forced Yingji to attack Yingji, which saved face for his monarch.
This is outrageous, and it is also the most recent alliance that took place more than a hundred years ago.
During the reign of Duke Lu Zhuang, Cao Mo was known for his strength and bravery, and was appointed as a general, and repeatedly fought against the Qi State.
Unexpectedly, after losing all three battles, Lu Zhuang was timid and hurriedly negotiated to cut the land and sue for peace.
But Lu Zhuanggong didn't blame Cao Mo, and still used him as a general!
Immediately, Duke Qi Huan agreed to meet with Duke Lu Zhuang in Kedi.
Just as Duke Lu Zhuang and Duke Qi Huan were about to reach a humiliating letter of secession and peace, Cao Mo rushed forward with a dagger in his hand and kidnapped Duke Qi Huan!
In desperation, Duke Qi Huan could only promise to return all the cities and lands of the Lu State that he had originally captured to the Lu State.
Moreover, Qi Huan Gong did not break the contract!
The story of Cao Mo's abduction of Qi Huan Gong at the Kedi Alliance has spread far-reachingly.
Until the end of the Warring States Period, when the assassin Jing Ke assassinated Qin, he even wanted to follow this example, kidnapping the then Qin King Yingzheng and forcing the latter to not order the Qin army to go east during his lifetime......
At present, Wu and Chu have certainly put aside their respective hatred for the time being, and are willing to non-aggression against each other and lick their wounds.
But Wu Chu has a feud, and the state of Chu has suffered such a big loss in the war, how can it not disgust Wu Wang Qingji?
It was precisely because he knew the intentions of the Chu people that Qingji just laughed it off and asked, "I don't know who it is?" ”
"He ......"
Meng Huan wanted to answer Qingji, but he was preempted by Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, who was sitting on the side, and said: "He is the Yeyi doctor of my Chu State, so the son of Shen Yinshu of Zuo Sima and Shen Zhuliang." ”
"It turned out to be Shen Zihou, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Qingji arched his hand towards Shen Zhuliang, which could be regarded as an expression of respect.
Although Shen Zhuliang hated Qingji in his heart, because he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, he had to hold back his hatred and salute back: "Xie Wu Wang praised." ”
Between Shen Zhuliang and Qingji, it can be said that there is a hatred for killing his father, and there is a blood feud with Wu Guo!
After all, Shen Zhuliang's father, Shen Yinshu, led an army to attack Wu, was defeated, and apologized for his crimes.
Shen Yinshu died in the war, which is a well-deserved death, and no one is to blame for this.
What's more, after the war, Wu also put Shen Yinshu's body into a coffin and sent it back to Yingdu for burial.
However, Shen Zhuliang has never forgotten this kind of revenge for killing his father.
His hostility to Qingji and Wu Guo is understandable.
What surprised Qingji the most was not Shen Zhuliang, but Xiong Zhen's approach.
Qingji vaguely remembered that Xiong Zhen at this time had inherited the throne of the King of Chu for less than five years, but he was only a thirteen-year-old boy, a half-grown child!
The king of Chu is young, so he is naturally suspicious of the lord and the country, so the state affairs of the state of Chu have always been controlled and decided by Meng Huan, Nangwa, and Zixi.
Guotai Meng Ying hung the curtain to listen to the government, and ordered Yin Nangwa and Gongzixi to assist the government and support the ministers, which is understandable.
However, Xiong Zhen has always been a puppet monarch, like a marionette, seemingly at the mercy of others.
Xiong Zhen, who is in a rebellious period, how can he not have a rebellious mentality about this?
He inherited the throne of Chu for a long time, but he had no right to speak in the court at all, how could Xiong Zhen endure it?
If Xiong Zhen is just a monarch who is willing to be ordinary and dares to do nothing all his life, it is just that, Qingji remembers the historical King of Chu Zhao, that is, Xiong Zhen, who is a Zhongxing monarch of Chu State.
It can be seen from this that Xiong Zhen's heart is comparable to ordinary people?
Interesting.
Qingji smiled secretly in his heart, and had unconsciously hatched a plan in his mind, trying to use this as a breakthrough to cause civil strife in the Chu State, and he was too busy to take care of himself, but he was unable to restore his national strength.
"King Wu, few people think that what Shen Qing said is reasonable. Just enjoying dance and music, enjoying wine and meat, it's very boring! ”
Xiong Zhen looked like a young man, and said to Qingji one by one: "The widow has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has never seen the battle array, so why don't he use the sharp soldiers of Chu and Wu to perform martial arts to help the wine!" ”
"What does King Wu think?"
Hearing this, Qingji smiled indifferently, looked at Xiong Zhen, who seemed to be eager for knowledge, and then looked at Meng Huan, whose face was quite uncertain, and said secretly: Mother and son are not in harmony, Xiong Zhen, this little guy's expressive desire is too strong!
Qingji then said slowly: "King Chu, it's not that the widows are cowardly, but that this is the opportunity of the alliance, just to kill the soldiers, only for peace, not to make a big move." ”
After a pause, Qingji said loudly again: "Besides, my Wu sword is out of the sheath, and I have always drunk people's blood!" ”
"Wu Jian, it's not for drinking, let alone for the pleasure of dolls."
"You ......"
Hearing Qingji look down on himself like this and ridicule himself as a "doll" that has not dried up, Xiong Zhen gritted his teeth with hatred, and the expression on his face was gloomy and difficult to hide, obviously he was so angry that he couldn't do it.
Xiong Zhen clenched his fists tightly, wanting to reply to Qingji, but was held down by the slender jade hand stretched out by Meng Huan, who was sitting on the side.
