According to the current situation, once the two countries of Qin and Chu enter the stage of peace, then the hostile target of the Chu State will naturally become the Yan State.

Whether it is a serious war or a simple strategic confrontation...... The state of Chu will bring great pressure to the new strong Yan country!

In this way, Zhao Guo is very comfortable.

Zhao's biggest strategic blueprint at present is to completely annex the 'Zhongshan Kingdom' sandwiched between Yan and Zhao. In order to achieve such a goal, Zhao Yong has led his troops to personally recruit several times and fought several major battles with Zhongshan.

Zhongshan is a small country, and its military strength is not strong - if Zhao can do what he wants, it will be easy to completely annex this small country.

The problem is that Yan Guo has always been hindered by this.

Just like the Song State, which was sandwiched between Qi and Chu, Zhongshan became a strategic buffer between the two great powers of Yan and Zhao. Every time Zhao Yong sent troops, the Yan State had to intervene from it, resulting in Zhao Yong's successive victories on the battlefield, but he could only slowly encroach on the Zhongshan Kingdom.

All in all - Qin and Chu confronted, and Zhao was unprofitable; Chu Yan confronts each other, and Zhao Guo can single-mindedly kill the fat of Zhongshan Kingdom and expand its territory to the southeast!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yong looked at King Chu Huai...... I hope the latter will nod and agree to the marriage.

King Chu Huai didn't know who Yingzhuo was, but he felt that Qiang Qin took the initiative to send the royal princess to the door and kiss him, which made him very face-saving...... I couldn't help but laugh -

"My eldest Chu Quyang Marqu has long reached the age of marriage, and the widow is the uncle of Wuliang, but he has never paid attention to this matter...... It's really a dereliction of duty. ”

"Since the King of Qin has this heart, no one will allow it."

"As long as Qu Yanghou nods and agrees, this marriage will be implemented - the widow will definitely prepare a generous gift for his nephew, ahahaha......" King Chu Huai's eyes looked at Xiong Wuliang.

The eyes of the monarchs of various countries also looked at them - for them, this was not just a matter of Xiong Wuliang's personal happiness, but an important political signal.

Ying Zhuo blushed, eager to stick his head in the crack in the ground...... Fortunately, the monarchs and ministers of the countries present didn't know who Yingzhuo was, and no one noticed her.

Ying Zhuo secretly looked at Xiong Wuliang, and his heart was in turmoil.

It was too sudden.

If he really nodded in acceptance, then wouldn't I have to ......

Huh!

I'm a few years older than this Xiong Wuliang...... How can this be?

But Xiong Wuliang ...... If he really shook his head and refused, it would be even more difficult for Yingzhuo to accept......

Xiong Wuliang was in full view of everyone, and he panicked...... It is said that even at the moment of life and death under Xianyang City, he has never been so embarrassed...... Almost a ghost, Xiong Wuliang nodded......

King Chu Huai stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay! Good! ”

King Qin Yingji glanced at King Chu Huai, and a moment of disappointment flashed in his heart...... Promising Wang Mei to that damn Xiong Wuliang is indeed satisfying Wang Mei's affection...... But just as Zhao Yong guessed, Yingji really hoped to use this to separate the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State.

After all, when the two countries marry, they usually send their sisters directly to the monarch...... Like this, there are still very few people who marry their sisters to the nephews of the monarch.

But looking at the smiling face of King Chu Huai, it seems that there is no intention of being separated.

Qin Wang Yingji couldn't tell for a while, whether this guy really had no heart and lungs, or was he simply heartless......

Ahem!

"Since this is the case, then I, the Qin State, will clean up and wait until next year to choose an auspicious day and send the princess to the fief of the Marquis of Quyang......" Yingji pondered her words for a while, and finally said.

Ying Zhuo's face was already red and shiny, and she shrunk into a ball, hiding in the crowd and not daring to make a sound...... There were familiar princes and princesses of the Qin prince, or the concubines of the Qin king, all of whom invariably squeezed their eyebrows at Yingzhuo, looking teasing.

Really, you're going to marry that damn Xiong Wuliang......

……

The atmosphere in the hall was visibly warm, and no matter what the monarchs and ministers of various countries thought of Xiong Wuliang, they all smiled at Xiong Wuliang at this time.

Xiong Wuliang, who originally wanted to run away secretly, couldn't hide now, so he could only drink one after another......

Except for the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom who were angry with Xiong Wuliang and no one paid attention to Xiong Wuliang, almost every prince or minister present toasted with Xiong Wuliang and said a few words of blessing auspiciousness.

The musicians in the cloud palace improvised a few poems in the "Book of Songs: Wind" praising marriage...... This kind of folk music is generally not elegant, but it is quite appropriate to sing it today.

Quyang Hou Xiongliang, he will get married next year!

If this news spreads, the entire Chu State will not know how many young girls and young women will cry for it and fall out of love collectively......

The musicians played and sang, and the dancers of the Chu Kingdom with slender waists danced a touching dance...... King Chu Huai sat on the throne with a radiant face and a sound like a bell......

Except for a very small number of guests with ugly faces, the guests and hosts were happy.

A feast that caught the wind lasted until late at night.

……

Xiong Wuliang, with Xiao Hei's support, walked to the corner of the Cloud Palace, avoiding the concubines and princesses of various countries whose eyes were hot and seemed to want to eat people...... Not to feel like Atlas any longer.

"Yue ......" Xiong Wuliang swayed against the wall, reaching into his mouth with his hand and stabbing at it.

Vomit fluttering in the wind...... With a slight hint of cool evening breeze blowing, Xiong Wuliang took the handkerchief handed by Xiao Hei and wiped his face, and finally came to his senses.

At this time, the Cloud Palace had fallen into silence...... The soldiers of all countries drank a lot of wine, and the entire outer camp of the palace was filled with snoring one after another.

Only the soldiers of the Chu State were still carrying lights and patrolling around...... The flag of the state of Chu on the camp wall fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers standing guard did not dare to slack off.

In order to maintain stability, King Chu Huai dispatched 5,000 forbidden troops from the palace and 50,000 soldiers from all over the country...... Protect the entire cloud palace strongly.

The money and food spent are enough to support a medium-sized border war.

Xiong Wuliang rubbed his face, and his eyes became extremely sharp—as if he had never drunk before.

The little black on the side looked stupid.

Xiong Wuliang glanced at Xiao Hei, and said in his heart, how clever is the skill of hiding alcohol that I practiced the construction site in my previous life, and it is the culmination of the five thousand years of wine table culture of the Chinese civilization - it is not easy to deceive these ancients who have not received nine years of compulsory education?

Xiong Wuliang sobered up, didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the palace where the king of Chu was.

He gave his name to the forbidden soldiers at the door - in fact, this is just a process, these forbidden soldiers are already familiar with Xiong Wuliang - the forbidden soldiers who are guarding the guards didn't stop them at all, and directly let Xiong Wuliang in.

At this moment, King Chu Huai had just finished freshening up, and was humming and chirping as the dancing queen danced, while brewing sleepiness......

Xiong Wuliang strode in directly, and he was not polite, and asked bluntly: "The nephew pays a visit to the king...... Dare to ask the king, how long are you going to open this alliance? ”
