This move of the three countries also caused a strong reaction from Anguo and Wuguo, and they also jointly launched a note to the Triple Alliance.

It's just that the three countries ignored it, but unified the troops stationed on the northland border and expressed their position with practical actions.

Because the three countries know very well that in order to realize the idea of annexation in the south, the first thing is to show their determination to Angola and Wu.

For this reason, Li Hao also left Pingzhou and went to Bizhou to preside over the aid to the Chu State.

At the same time, it was also on the battlefield in the north, and Qi Xinliang, the emperor of Chu State, also came in person.

Since the two sides are not far away and have just signed an alliance agreement, Li Hao, as a junior, should naturally take the initiative to visit.

So after asking Cui Ming, Li Hao wrote a letter of worship and sent someone to Huangzhou, where Qi Xinliang was located.

Qi Xinliang also appreciates Li Hao's ability and wants to meet Li Hao.

It's just that there are contradictions between the two sides about the specific meeting place, after all, even Li Hao is worried that if he enters the hinterland of another country, he will become a meat bun and a dog, and there will be no return.

Therefore, after considering security issues, the two sides finally chose to meet outside the city of Shengzhou, which is not far from the border of the country.

Chu will set up a tent outside the city in advance, and Li Hao can lead a guard to accompany him at that time.

But even so, Li Hao still made a deployment in advance before officially setting off.

Because the information had been reported a long time ago, it was received by Ying Hongcheng, the young secretary of Chu Guohonglu Temple, after the crossing.

With him by his side, the group's journey to Chu was very smooth, but they were stopped outside the tent.

I saw the gatekeeper say, "Your Majesty has an order, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Suguo and his personal guards are allowed to enter, and the others are still asked to wait outside."

This request was not too excessive, and Li Hao really didn't plan to do anything, so he didn't refuse, but ordered: "Captain Chu, you take someone to camp outside and wait, and the East Palace guards send out a team to go in with Lone."

Chu Wei is now being promoted by Li Hao to be the chief of the guard, and he is also setting a benchmark with the original Qi State to show his trust.

And Chu Wei is also hard-working for this position, and he began to arrange it after he got the order.

It's just that when Li Hao started to go in, he was stopped again: "Stay for the time being, please ask Your Highness to order the accompanying guards to leave their weapons, and then you can enter."

After hearing this, Ren Xin wanted to speak, after all, if he had no weapons, it would not really be slaughtered by others, but he was stopped by Li Hao in time.

After all, although Li Hao was not happy, he still had some affection, and it was useless against the gatekeepers, and they had no right to decide.

Instead, Ying Hongcheng, who was standing behind and had been pretending to be dumb, could speak, so he turned his head and said to Hongcheng: "Chu and Su have concluded an alliance, and Gu also came at the appointment, but I didn't know that Your Majesty was so vigilant.

If you knew this, Lone wouldn't have caused you any trouble, or you would have asked Shaoqing to help you deliver the gift and return it to Your Majesty, just say that Lone has an urgent military situation and needs to rush back immediately."

Hearing this, Ying Hongcheng hurriedly said, "I don't know anything about this, but I think Your Majesty also thinks that the camp is safe, and there is no need to carry weapons at all."

Li Hao said with a smile: "In terms of security, Gu Zi can trust your country, after all, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in this battalion, if you don't believe it, you don't dare to go in."

But now the situation seems to be that your country does not believe in loneliness anymore?"

Seeing that Li Hao threw the words back, Ying Hongcheng was not easy to answer for a while.

At this time, I saw a person walk out of the camp and said in a loud voice, "Bastard, since Your Highness is a guest invited by Your Majesty, how can you be embarrassed.

Come, take down this self-righteous fellow, and rebuke him with a rod of thirty strokes, as an example."

When the person was taken away, the man turned around as if nothing had happened, and said, "Your Highness, please come with me, Your Majesty has been waiting in the big tent for a long time."

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, and then led people into the camp tent.

On the way, although Li Hao had already recognized this Qi Xinliang's close minister, Ding'an Hou Zhang Mi, but

Still pretending not to know, he asked, "I don't know what to call an adult?"

Zhang Mi made an introduction when he heard this, and at the same time praised Li Hao's various deeds.

As the common enemy of Su and Chu, Anguo is still very topical in this matter.

chatted all the way, and unconsciously walked to the big tent where Qi Xinliang was.

This must not be a group of people to go in, everyone else has to wait outside, Li Hao took Chen Xi and Ren Xin, took the gifts he brought, and walked in.

Qi Xinliang is different from emperors like Cui Ming and Li Falcon, who are monks on the road, he is a real succession, he was made a prince since he was a child, and he also got an heir education.

Therefore, although he is much older than Cui Ming and Li Falcon, he suffers a little in terms of appearance.

But the nobility that he has cultivated since childhood is particularly obvious, which forms a kind of harmony, which makes people ignore his old age unconsciously.

Li Hao walked to the middle of the big tent and bowed to Qi Xinliang, and gave the gift.

Qi Xinliang didn't mean to embarrass Li Hao, and after letting people accept the gift, he asked Li Hao to get up and sit down on the left, and said, "I am a few years older than your father, and today I will call you a good nephew, I don't know if it's okay."

Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly got up and replied, "Since Your Majesty is love, I have no reason to refuse, my nephew visits my uncle."

Qi Xinliang also laughed heartily when he saw Li Hao's acceptance, and said, "Good virtuous nephew, it's a pity that your brother Ji Xiang is not here today, otherwise he will have to have a good chat with you and ask for advice.

After all, among the next generation of the Nine Kingdoms of the Central Plains, you are the most outstanding, and for this reason, I have envied Brother Cui for a long time."

Although Li Hao felt that what Qi Xinliang said was right, he still had to be modest in terms of face: "Uncle praised it falsely, Brother Ji Xiang has both ability and political integrity, and is determined to forge ahead, and I am just a coincidence, but it is far from comparable."

Qi Xinliang waved his hand and said, "You are too humble, I don't know how much Ji Xiang has his own ability.

Handling some political affairs is not satisfactory, but if it is changed to the situation when you were in Liuzhou City, he will definitely not be able to stop it.

What's more, it was you who led the troops into the Qi Kingdom alone and laid this new foundation, so your father must be very happy."

Li Hao said with a smile: "My father is very happy to be able to expand the territory, but I am only one step ahead.

After all, when it comes to wealth, the Qi State is not as good as the Tu, Yi, and Yuan countries after all.

I think that after this training, Brother Ji Xiang will definitely be able to stand out and share his uncle's worries."

Qi Xinliang replied, "I hope so."

After that, the two chatted for a while, and at noon, Qi Xinliang prepared a luncheon for Li Hao.

At the banquet, Chen Xi took the initiative to take on the role of a food taster, after all, this was a meal in Chu Kingdom.

Although it seems that the two families are in harmony now, based on their previous grievances, who dares to guarantee that they will not secretly arrange anything.

Li Hao also thought that nothing had happened, which happened to be the meaning of testing Qi Xinliang.

But Qi Xinliang was also pure when nothing happened, and from time to time he told Li Hao what dishes were delicious, and for a while, both guests and hosts were happy.

Soon after the banquet, Li Hao said goodbye to Qi Xinliang, and Qi Xinliang also knew that the war was imminent, so he didn't keep too much.

After leaving the camp in Suguo, when he was camping and resting in the middle, Li Hao deliberately retreated the others, leaving only Ren Xin and Chen Xi behind.

Only then did he say to Chen Xi, "Sit down cross-legged, and I'll help you detoxify it."

Chen Xi was shocked when he heard this: "Chu Guoren has just poisoned the food."

Li Hao hurriedly looked around, except for Ren Xin's eyes, no one else noticed, so he said angrily, "What are you shouting about, can this matter be spread now?"

Chen Xi also knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly apologized in a low voice: "Your Highness forgives me, it's just that this news surprised me too much, I didn't expect the people of Chu to dare to do this, aren't they afraid of being discovered by us?"

Li Hao explained, "This poison is

A poison with a long incubation period is actually very weak in itself, but it is only latent in the meridians and has no harm to the body.

According to my estimates, if you want it to really attack, you should need an introduction, if I don't have Yangzhou Slow Protector, I'm afraid I won't be able to detect it, let alone other people.

Okay, I have my own plans for this matter, and I'll help you detoxify it first."

Chen Xi sat down and asked Li Hao to help him detoxify.

After the detoxification was done, Ren Xin directly sent Chen Xi out, and said to Li Hao: "The people of Chu want to harm you, so you just endure it, this is not like you."

Li Hao replied: "I am naturally not such a magnanimous person, but now I still need to use Chu Guo to contain An Guo, and rashly attacking Qi Xinliang may break the existing balance.

In case Anguo occupies the land of Chu and opens up another way to attack Suguo, the gains outweigh the losses.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and let him be proud for a while, just so that he can think that he has controlled my life, and lower his vigilance against me."

After Ren Xin heard this, she also felt that Li Hao's approach was the most suitable, but she was still a little angry.

Li Hao also noticed this, stepped forward to Ren Xin's side, took the initiative to take her hand, and said, "I know that you are complaining about me, but I didn't expect you to care so much about me now.

But the overall situation is important, after taking the Qi State left and right, the next target is the Chu State, and they won't be proud for too long."

was caught by Li Hao, Ren Xin's face turned red, and he hurriedly shook off and hid to the side, saying, "What do you care about, I'm just afraid that you will die, and I won't be able to explain to my mother when I go back."

After saying that, he fled in the wilderness, as if there was a flood beast behind him.

Then everyone continued to set off, but this time Ren Xin avoided Li Hao far away, and did not dare to approach Li Hao at all.

Until he returned to Suguo, Ren Xin did not recover.

It was a few days later that Ren Xin's state came back.

The confrontation between An and Wu on the one hand, and Su, Chu, and Yan on the other, lasted for several months, and the five countries in the middle fought each other several times in succession, and in the end they also won and lost each other.

Fortunately, An and Wu have also had grievances for a long time, but the temporary union is also inseparable.

Especially with Li Falcon's temperament, when Chu Guo and Su Guo did not take advantage, they turned the spearhead back to Anguo.

Within Anguo, Yang Xingyuan has not been on the throne for a long time, and he is constrained by his own brother Yang Xingjian, the king of Danyang, and there is also the first assistant Zhang Song to control the government.

In order to regain power, Yang Xingyuan also turned his attention back to China.

Therefore, after the two sides held each other for a while, they died down.

So at this time, Chu and Yan transferred back some of their main forces and began to attack the Yuan and Yuan respectively.

As early as when the three kingdoms of Tu, Yi, and Yuan knew about the Triple Alliance, they somewhat anticipated this situation and began to reorganize their arms for war.

Therefore, at the beginning of the expedition, both Chu and Yan encountered a certain amount of resistance.

It's just that this has nothing to do with Li Hao, because Li Hao has returned to Qi at this time.

After the previous defeats, the resistance that the Qi State was able to do was already far behind the Yuan State and the Yuan State.

It's just that Li Hao didn't take a quick battle this time, but cut the meat with a soft knife, and only captured one or two cities in Qi State every time.

After digesting and integrating them, they will continue to launch the offensive, and then go through the previous process again.

According to the schedule set by Li Hao himself, roughly one month before the three-year appointment with Shen Tuhui, he would capture the capital of Qi and achieve the goal of destroying a country.

In this way, it can also avoid fighting too fast, scaring the whole Qi country away, and it will be troublesome to arrest people when the time comes.

And according to Li Hao's idea, the people of Qi State can't be allowed to surrender on their own initiative, after all, it will be difficult to start, where will Juntian's fields come from.

Under this rhythm, two years passed, and Li Hao finally entered the capital of Qi and blocked the royal family of Qi in the palace.

At this stage

, The whole Qi country already knows that the general trend has gone, and there are only a very small number of people left who can resist stubbornly on this palace wall.

However, Li Hao did not intend to attack, but planned to keep this imperial city intact.

After all, Li Hao really didn't trust his soldiers so much, and most of the Yixue students in the past two years had been arranged to serve in various state capitals.

On the contrary, the army only arranged key positions, so it was inevitable that this ideological work did not keep up, and Li Hao did not think that they could do it without leaving any stone unturned.

There are countless treasures in this palace, and there are many palace maids and concubines, which really makes the soldiers see blood, and it is too difficult to control it again, so it is better to try to liberate it peacefully.

So Li Hao summoned a general who had recently surrendered and arranged with him: "Please also help me make a trip, give this letter of persuasion to the emperor of the Qi State, and tell him that as long as he is willing to sacrifice the national seal to open the city and surrender, and go to the capital with Gu to offer prisoners, Nagu will protect his life and the lives of the royal family in the palace."

Otherwise, if the arson really enters, I'm afraid that the scene will not be under Lone's control, and Lone will give him an hour to think about it before making a decision."

After receiving the letter, he went to the palace gate to call the door, and after the soldiers guarding the city understood the situation, they were also worried that Li Hao would take the opportunity to attack the city.

Therefore, he did not open the gates of the city, but lowered the hanging baskets from the top of the city and pulled the people up.
