Chapter 476: Known as the Duke of Western Chu

Xiong Zhen, as a prisoner, was originally not qualified to negotiate conditions with Qingji.

However, at this time, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, was still arguing with Qingji and did not agree to the harsh conditions offered by Qingji.

Qingji was not annoyed.

Because he knew that even if he put a sword on Xiong Zhen's neck, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do such a great rebellion against his ancestors.

Although, ceding land and seeking peace is itself a matter of losing power and humiliating the country, and being ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors.

But Xiong Zhen must at least fight against Qingji to ensure the fundamental interests of the Chu State to the greatest extent.

At the very least, let the Chu State have the power to protect itself!

As we all know, the richest place in the Chu State, that is, the hinterland of the Chu State, is none other than the Nanyang Basin, as well as the Jianghan Plain.

This is the basic plate of the Chu State, and there is no room for error.

If, according to the conditions set by Qingji, the two Chu states are bounded by the Han River, then the original Nanyang Basin and the Jianghan Plain of the Chu State will at least lose half of the Western Chu State dominated by Xiong Zhen.

That's it, it will make the Western Chu Kingdom no longer have the power to turn over!

This is what Qingji wants to achieve, but Xiong Zhen will never back down.

Qingji also saw Xiong Zhenning's unyielding determination.

Even if he died, Xiong Zhen would not agree to such harsh conditions.

It is like King Qi Min during the Warring States Period.

The state of Qi reached its peak during the reign of King Min of Qi and almost perished at his hands.

From prosperity to decline!

At that time, the state of Qi defeated Chu Xiang Tang in Chongqiu, destroyed the Sanjin in the west, and then attacked Qin with the Sanjin, helped Zhao destroy Zhongshan, broke the Song Dynasty, and made a wide land of more than 1,000 miles.

Competed with King Qin Zhao for the emperor, and has returned.

The princes all wanted to turn their backs on Qin and submit to Qi.

It can be seen that the only one that could compete with the Qi State at that time was the Qin State in the west.

And King Qi Min has overshadowed King Qin Zhaoxiang in the limelight.

It's just that King Qi Min's final fate is not an ordinary bleakness.

The five kingdoms invaded Qi, the capital of Linzi was broken, and King Min of Qi had to flee and took refuge in the three kingdoms of Wei, Lu and Zou.

Wei Heijun, the monarch of the country, did not despise King Qi Min because King Qi Min was so down, but accepted King Qi Min with great enthusiasm.

Wei Heijun even gave up his palace to King Qi Min to live in, and called himself a "minister" in front of King Qi Min.

King Qi Min is like a monarch who defends the country.

This made the always arrogant King Min of Qi even more invincible, and often made things difficult for the courtiers of the country, and even scolded the heirs of the country, and finally he was expelled from the country.

When he arrived in the Lu State, Lu Gong also wanted to entertain King Qi Min in his life, but the latter asked Lu Gong to receive him with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and he also called Lu Gong as a person, otherwise he would send an army to destroy the Lu State.

King Qi Min, who was so down-and-out and spoke wildly, was expelled from the country of Lu again.

King Qi Min could only flee to Zou State, when the monarch of Zou had just died, and the new monarch was organizing the people to mourn.

However, the arrogant and arrogant King Min of Qi not only did not comfort the monarchs and ministers of Zou State, but asked to be mourned as the Son of Heaven.

Although his attitude was arrogant, after all, he was here to mourn, and the new monarch of Zou Guo couldn't bear it.

It's just that the king of Qi Min has to inch in, and he really regards himself as the son of heaven, standing in the north, and asking the new monarch of Zou to visit the king of Qi.

In a fit of rage, the new monarch of Zou expelled King Qi Min from the border.

Other countries heard about King Qi Min's experience in Wei, Lu, and Zou, and no country was willing to receive him anymore.

In the end, King Min of Qi fled back to Qi, and when he passed through Judi, he met the Chu general Naoya, who sent troops to rescue Qi.

King Min of Qi then appointed Nao Ya as Qi Xiang and asked him to lead the Chu army to crusade against Le Yi.

It's a pity that King Qi Min doesn't know the truth that the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken.

King Qi Min is as arrogant as ever, and he is still the invincible overlord of the Eastern Emperor.

obviously asked for Naoya, but he was still arrogant and domineering, shouting and drinking at Naoya.

You must know that the State of Chu was defeated by the State of Qi in the Battle of Lisha before, and the land of Huaibei of the State of Chu was included in the territory of the State of Qi.

This made Nao Ya resentful, so he asked King Min of Qi to cede the land of Huaibei and return it to the state of Chu.

However, he couldn't stand the backbone of King Qi Min, and he would rather not give in.

So Nao Ya was furious, and tortured King Qi Min to cramp and hang the beam!

The death of the king of a country is extremely rare throughout the ages.

The King of Chu in front of him, Xiong Zhen, is not as arrogant and pedantic as King Qi Min, and Qingji is naturally not the kind of person who is easy to lose his mind.

Negotiation is bargaining until a mutually acceptable terms are negotiated.

"What does the King of Chu mean?"

Qingji asked unhurriedly.

"The meaning of the widow is to use the clear hair water as the boundary."

Xiong Zhen said slowly: "The land of the city west of Qingfa Shui belongs to my Chu State. The land east of Qingfashui, including Fangcheng, Yeyi, Jiyi and other cities in the north, can all be attributed to the so-called Eastern Chu State of King Wu."

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Zhen drew a rough range with his fingers on the sheepskin map.

Qingji frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied, and said, "King Chu, your conditions are too much. The hinterland of the Chu Kingdom of Jianghan and Nanyang is all returned to Western Chu, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen argued with reason and replied, "If you can't assign my Jingchu hinterland to Chu State. King Wu, there is no need to continue this peace talk!"

"Please ask the king of Wu to give the widow three feet of white silk, or a lord of poisonous wine, so that the widow can die with dignity, and cover his face with hair, so that after the widow dies, he will have to endure the scolding of the subjects of the Chu State."

"It will not be so that the widow will see the ancestors and ancestors of the Chu State under the Nine Springs, and there will be no explanation!"

Seeing that King Xiong Zhen of Chu was so persistent, Qing Ji squinted his eyes, as if after some ideological struggle, and then bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay!"

"King Chu, the widow agrees to your terms. The two Chu countries are bounded by Qingfa Shui!"

「……」

Seeing Qingji agreeing so readily, Xiong Zhen always felt that he was at a loss.

The bottom line of Qingji seems to be that the two countries of Eastern Chu and Western Chu are bounded by the first line of Qingfa Water!

Qingji said: "In addition, the state of Chu must be a vassal to our state of Wu, and the title of king can be retained internally, and externally, it needs to be called "Duke of Western Chu", and pay tribute to Wu every year."

Calling the ministers a tribute is the inevitable fate of a defeated country that has almost been destroyed.

Xiong Zhen has no objection on this matter.

Although he was unwilling, Xiong Zhen could only agree.

Now that the state of Chu is almost destroyed, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, has become a prisoner of the Wu people, and his life is in danger, how can he bargain on this kind of thing?

Xiong Zhen bowed slightly, expressed his approval, and then gritted his teeth and said, "The State of Chu can pay tribute to the State of Wu. However, there can only be one Chu country in the world, and there is no Eastern Chu or Western Chu!"

Xiong Zhen has lost face and has lost his dignity, but in his opinion, the national character of Chu cannot be lost!

The state of Chu has actually been divided, but Xiong Zhen can't recognize that the country east of Qingfa Shui is also the state of Chu!
