In the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, the monarchs of viscount states such as Wu, Chu, Xu, and Zhong Wu belonged to the barbarian leaders.

What they look down on is not that the title of the viscount country is too low, but that the land where it is located is a barbarian land!

From the perspective of origin, Chu is a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, Wu is a descendant of Taibo, Xu is a descendant of Boyi, and the only unclear is Zhong Wuguo......

It is worth mentioning that Xu was originally a marquis, and in the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Western Third Dynasty, Xu State has always been one of the powerful vassal states.

When the State of Xu was the strongest, it once became the suzerainty of the thirty-two Fang States, and under the leadership of King Xu Yan, it almost defeated the capital of Haojing, but unfortunately it was a failure, and the State of Xu was finally defeated by Zhou Tianzi and reduced to a viscount country.

At this time, the state of Xu was already weak, because the state of Wu, which had risen over the years, and the state of Chu, which had expanded eastward, continued to encroach on the land of Xu's cities, and the state of Xu was forced to go to Wu and Chu and become its vassals.

"King Wu, the widow respects you!"

"Please!"

On the square platform of the stone mountain, Qingji sat on the main seat, while Xu Jun, Yingzhangyu and Zhong Wujun sat on both sides, staggering, drinking and talking, and they were not happy for a while.

In the open space not far away, there is also a graceful dancing girl, who is dancing with the sound of silk and bamboo, dancing her waist, and between the swaying of her water sleeves, looking forward to her life, which is quite attractive.

Wu Guo is so plump and beautiful, so the dancing girl brought by Qingji has a bumpy figure, which has a unique flavor.

After a few wines, Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun were both slightly drunk, drunk, and looked at the dancing girls in the audience with a confused expression, a little out of shape.

Food, color, xing also!

For the appearance of the two monarchs, Qingji didn't care.

The wine of this era belongs to rice wine, and the alcohol content is too low, not as good as modern beer, so Qingji can keep a thousand cups not drunk, at most, it is too much wine and frequent urination.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere had almost been set off, Qingji pretended to use the wine, glanced at the monarch sitting on both sides, and chuckled: "Xu Jun, Zhong Wujun, a major event has happened in Chu State recently, I don't know if the two of you can know?" ”

"I don't know what's the big deal?"

Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun both asked suspiciously.

It seems that I really don't know.

Don't blame them for being so ignorant!

The weak national strength and the pattern of surviving in the cracks can no longer make them look at the world, and they can only use their own one-third of an acre of land as a blessing.

Qingji said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, Cai Hou entered Yingdu to worship the King of Chu, but unexpectedly, in order to make Yin Nangwa ask for leather clothes and jade pendants, Cai Hou refused, so he was detained in Yingdu, and he has not been released so far. ”

"What?"

"There is such a thing!"

Xu Jun Yingzhangyu and Zhong Wujun couldn't help but change color, and then they were furious and scolded: "Chu, what a barbarian!" ”

"How can it be justified to openly detain a worshipping monarch?"

"Scandal, it's really a rare scandal in the world!"

"Fortunately, I, Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo, changed their course and abandoned the secret to join the banner of King Wu, otherwise I really don't know if they will end up like Cai Hou!"

I have to say that the matter of Chu State's detention of Cai Hou is really ridiculous.

In any case, Cai State is a vassal state of Chu State, and Cai Hou worshiped the King of Chu as a younger brother, but he was detained in Yingdu for no reason, how can this make Xu Jun Yingzhangyu and Zhong Wujun, who originally took Chu as their suzerain, not angry?

"The widow is also indignant!"

Qingji pretended to be indignant, and pressed the wine lord in his hand on the case with a "snap", and then said: "The widow sympathizes with Cai Hou's plight, so he is ready to wave his army to attack Chu in order to force the Chu people to return to Cai Hou and seek justice for Cai Hou!" ”

"Ru Xu country, Zhong Wu country, are you willing to go?"

As soon as he heard this, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became awkward.

As the former younger brother of the Chu State, how can Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun not understand the strength of the Chu State?

Although Wu is an emerging military power, its heritage is not as good as that of Chu after all.

In the past, the fierce wars between Wu and Chu revolved around the small countries bordering Zhongli, Chao, Shu, and Zhoulai.

Moreover, in the decades-long war, these small countries were almost without exception, divided by Wu Chu.

Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo, how can they follow in their footsteps?

It is right that they are willing to take refuge in Wu and become Qingji's younger brothers, and they also know that a war between Wu and Chu is inevitable.

However, Xu Jun Yingzhangyu and Zhong Wujun only thought that they could stay out of the matter as before, watch the fire from the other side, and no matter how bad they were, they showed their attitude and shouted for Wu Guo behind their backs.

Who would have thought that Qingji would actually let Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo stand in line and fight Chu together?

This is roasting Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo on the fire!

If the attack on Chu is successful, they won't be able to take much advantage, not to mention, the annoyed Chu State can't deal with the Wu State, and can't they handle the weak Xu State and Zhong Wu State?

Therefore, regardless of success or failure, the Xu State and Zhong Wuguo, who followed the Wu State to attack Chu, must have the possibility of being pressed to the ground by the Chu people and hammered.

Xu Jun Yingzhang Yu and Zhong Wujun glanced at each other, and they all showed helpless looks.

Ying Zhangyu hesitated, and first sighed: "King Wu, it's not that the widow is unwilling to send troops to help, but my Xu country, a small country and a widow, can't continue." ”

"Even if you send troops to attack Chu with Wu State, it will be difficult to provide much help!"

"Exactly!"

Zhong Wujun hurriedly echoed: "King Wu, what Xu Jun said is extremely true. I am in my country, the national strength is weak, the strength is not enough, and I can't withstand the consumption of the war! ”

"If the king of Wu invades Chu, our country can fund the military supplies and send troops...... Or the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient. ”

It's all an excuse!

Prevarication!

Qingji's heart is like a mirror, but it is not easy to break it directly.

"Five thousand! The widow only needs Xu and Zhongwu, and one country can easily have 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"This ......"

Ying Zhangyu smacked his tongue and said: "King Wu, the division of five thousand can be said to be almost all the combatable soldiers of our two countries. What if they all go out to fight and the enemy country comes to attack? ”

Xu and Zhong Wu are both small countries and widows, and the standing army in peacetime is only 3,000 people, and 5,000 people are almost all combatable soldiers!

Isn't Qingji hollowing out their old bottoms?

"The widow can promise that if an enemy country dares to invade any of you, it will be an enemy of the widow and an enemy of Wu, and Wu will be killed!"

Qing Ji waved his big hand, domineering and leaking.

He's not talking big.

Adjacent to Xu and Zhongwu, in addition to Wu and Chu, there are also two small countries, Tan and Xue, whose national strength is exactly the same as the two countries, and the Wu army can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!

Qingji's self-confidence comes from the confidence given by the strong strength of Wu State!

Qingji said again: "Besides, my Wu State will send troops to be stationed on the side of the capital of Ru and other countries, and two thousand sharp soldiers in one country are enough!" ”
