Seeing Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu at this time, Qingji's heart was full of emotion.

Xiong Zhen's current age is only twenty-one years old, ten years younger than Qingji.

He was now in a state of limbo, his face was haggard, and Qingji could still see the white hair on his head.

It's been a night's sleep!

It seems that Wu Zixu passed the Zhao Pass back then, and his head turned white overnight.

Xiong Zhen is now ruined and his family is ruined, and he is still under house arrest by the enemy, and the complex emotions such as resentment, helplessness, and melancholy in his heart can be imagined.

If it is changed to a celebration, it may not be able to maintain the original style.

Xiong Zhen is known in history as the lord of Zhongxing in the Chu State.

However, Xiong Zhen's personal ability is limited after all.

He can rejuvenate the Chu State, and he can't do without the help of Zixi, Shen Zhuliang, Shen Baoxu and other talents.

Qing Ji didn't speak, but stretched out his hand, took a sheepskin map handed by the guards on the side, and then waved his hand to make all the guards retreat.

"King Chu, are you okay here?"

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Qingji thoughtfully, and did not speak.

Qingji slowly sat down opposite Xiong Zhen and spread the sheepskin map on the table.

This is a map of the territory of the Chu State, and every city, pass, river, etc., is clearly visible.

"Qingji, are you here to make a joke about the widow?"

Xiong Zhen's face was very gloomy, but he didn't get angry after all.

If this is changed to the previous bear, he will inevitably be angry and lose his mind uncontrollably.

However, after so many tribulations, Xiong Zhen has undergone a lot of transformation.

Being able to control one's anger and hold back is a rare quality for a king.

Qingji admits that Xiong Zhen has grown up and can be his opponent.

It's just that with the current national strength of the Chu State, even if Xiong Zhen is the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Jin Wen, or the King of Chu Zhuang is alive, he can no longer become a problem in the heart of the Wu State!

"The King of Chu is serious."

Hearing Xiong Zhen call him by his name, Qingji didn't mind, and said with a surging smile: "The widow is here to make peace with you." The widow has no intention of destroying Chu, and the husband and the fighter are only for the weak, not for the dead! ”

"Peace talks?"

Xiong Zhen sneered and said, "King Wu, let the widow guess." ”

"I'm afraid that the Qin army has conquered Wandi and killed Suicheng?"

"Not bad."

Qingji did not deny this, and said slowly: "However, the widow is not afraid of Master Qin, but he does not want to increase the casualties in vain. ”

"King Chu, as the so-called one who knows the times is Junjie."

"The state of Chu is now like a dead country, the Chu master is in mourning, even you, the king of Chu, have been captured by widows, and the Qin army is an outsider after all, how can you help the Chu people recover the country regardless of it?"

After a pause, Qingji waved his big hand, clenched his fist in front of Xiong Zhen's eyes and said, "If the widow is willing, it will only be a snap of his fingers." ”

"It's just that the territory of Chu is vast and the population is very large. For more than 500 years, the Jing Chu of Guozuo has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and few people are worried, but the Chu people have repeatedly attacked our Wu army and refused to accept governance. ”

"The ambition of the widow is to be for the princes of Jiuhe and the world! And not just in the state of Chu. ”

"King Chu, you can think about it. Whether or not to accept the widow's request for peace talks. ”

Looking at Qingji, who was so frank and did not shy away from saying his worries, Xiong Zhen was speechless for a while.

Encountering an enemy like Qingji, Xiong Zhen thought to himself that this was his sorrow and the sorrow of the Chu State!

As Qingji said, the territory of Chu was vast, and Wu was difficult to digest, and it was very likely that it would backfire, spending decades suppressing the rebellion and assimilating the Chu people.

This is not what Qingji wants to see.

If Qingji really wants to do this, the state of Chu will die if he says he will die!

After pondering for a long time, Xiong Zhen finally took a deep look at Qingji, and then said, "King Wu, if the widow does not agree to your request for peace. You...... Will the widow be killed? ”

"No, it won't."

Qingji shook his head without thinking and said, "Killing the king of a country is a bad omen. ”

"The widow will not kill you, but will immediately levy 50,000, or even 80,000 or 100,000 troops from the country, and enter Chu to fight. In this way, can Chu be an enemy? ”

“……”

When Xiong Zhen heard this, he just smiled bitterly.

He had no doubt that Qingji would be able to do such a thing.

Wu State can indeed once again use 100,000 troops to fight in Chu!

Politics is all about compromise.

Those who are kings must endure what ordinary people can't endure!

These words were those of Xiong Zhen's mother, Meng Huan, who had warned him in the past.

It's just that Xiong Zhen was young and vigorous at that time, and he didn't care, but now he can understand Meng Huan's good intentions.

Endure?

Right!

Be sure to endure!

Xiong Zhen swore secretly in his heart.

As long as the widow survives, the state of Chu will not die!

One day, the widow will be able to recover the lost land and destroy the country of Wu, so as to avenge today's revenge and today's humiliation!

"King Wu, tell me about your conditions."

Seeing Xiong Zhen's current appearance, Qingji narrowed his eyes.

The transformation of Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, made Qingji have to be on guard against one or two.

After all, crazy cats and dogs are not scary, but what is scary is the poisonous snake that hides behind them and waits for an opportunity.

Rao is like this, and Qingji does not intend to get rid of Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu.

He pointed his finger to the location of "Han Shui" on the map, and said lightly: "The intention of the widow is to divide the land of Chu into two with the Han River as the boundary, and the cities and lands west of the Han River, including the original Ying, can be returned to the State of Chu." ”

"The land of the city east of the Han River is assigned to the name of the Eastern Chu State."

"Eastern Chu Kingdom?"

Xiong Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Qingji chuckled and said, "The Eastern Chu Kingdom is the country led by Bai Gongsheng. ”

"King Wu is so calculating."

Xiong Zhen took a deep look at Qingji and sighed in his heart.

He could already guess the reason why Qingji did not assign the cities and lands of the Chu State captured by the coalition forces to the Wu State, but to the "Eastern Chu State".

In this way, the Chu people there will not have much resistance.

The state of Wu was able to use Bai Gongsheng as a puppet and rule over the subjects of the Eastern Chu State.

Bai Gongsheng himself was supported by the State of Wu to deal with the State of Chu.

Xiong Zhen also knows the intention of Qingji.

This made Xiong Zhen very sad and helpless.

Because, even if Xiong Zhen did not agree to this condition, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop Wu from ruling the various cities of Hanshui and Yidong.

Before Gain, the coalition forces had already captured that large territory!

Qingji can now return the land of the city to the Chu State, including Yingdu and its vicinity, which is already a fluke.

However, Xiong Zhen also did not dare to call the shots, and agreed to this condition offered by Qingji!

"The widow cannot agree."

Xiong Zhen shook his head and said, "The land west of the Han River in my Chu State is far less than the land west of the Han River. ”

"If a widow is in charge and cedes so many cities and lands, I am afraid that he will be the sinner of the Chu State and leave a stench for 10,000 years."

"The subjects of the Chu State will never agree!"
