Chu He and others spent ten days in the palace of King Zhou in Luoyi, and during these ten days, Jiang Xiaobai and others bought almost all the sons of King Jigui of Zhou according to Chu He's instructions, and did it very secretly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These Zhou princes all thought that they had been selected by 'Xiong Jie', the 'stupid son of the landlord' from the Chu State, and those who had no ambition were all gearing up and secretly doing sneaky things, just hoping that one day, they could be the throne of the king of the Zhou Dynasty.

It seems a little unbelievable to say, the king of Zhou is in such a hard position, and some people rush to do it? In fact, if you think about it seriously, the three tiled houses of the poor family have all broken their heads, not to mention that no matter how weak the Zhou Dynasty is, it is also a dynasty and a country. Sitting in the position of the king of Zhou, even if he is looked down upon, only the princes and kings of the same status can look down on him, and when ordinary people see it, which one dares not to kowtow?

Also in these ten days, Chu He went on to visit the names of the former ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, and also rummaged through the houses of these people.

Although there are no big surprises, there are still gains.

Not only collected the six characters in the Western King Sutra, now a total of eight eight or sixty-four characters, but also got a volume of animal skin ancient paintings, in the painting is a mysterious bird, hovering in the vast Hongmeng, looking back.

When Chu He saw this painting, the fragments of Zhurong in the sea of knowledge were beating very violently, so Chu He bought this painting and prepared to study it carefully.

After a delay of ten days, Chu He and the others said goodbye to the 'reluctant' Zhou King Ji Gui, many Zhou princes who were full of earnestness, and three princesses of the Zhou Dynasty with resentful eyes, Chu He and others left Luoyi.

Converging the Chu soldiers on the eastern slope, Xue Qijiang asked the Chu River: "Lord, let's go next..." ？”

The current Xue Qijiang is a Western Zhou Dynasty Great Sima who is qualified to wear the ancient armor, holding a bronze spear inscribed with mystical runes, which is not a mortal thing at a glance, and the eyes that look at Chu He already have a bit of real respect.

Xue Qijiang is not a well-known unparalleled martyr in ancient and modern times, and now it is made by the Chu River, and life and death are in the hands of the Chu River. But Chu He has always been courteous to him, and he has not demanded too much. Now, he gave him the ancient armor and the bronze spear of extraordinary origin that only the Great Sima could wear, which was tantamount to making some promises.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and Xue Qijiang has no choice, so he also thinks about it, and he really has a little bit of thought to assist Chu River in success.

"Let's go to Jin!" Chu He said.

"Aren't you going to Qi?" Jiang Xiaobai said in surprise.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the peasant family has appeared, most of them only planted spirit plants and domesticated spirit animals, a bit like natural druids, and only when Xu Xing was born during the Warring States Period did the peasant family be completely born, integrated into the people, and began to participate in politics.

Nowadays, the peasant inheritance is scattered all over the country, and it is the most widely distributed among the many schools that have emerged.

To learn from the inheritance of farmers, Qi Chu is the first to be recommended, and then Jin, Qin, Wu, Yue and other places.

Chu He shook his head and said: "I not only went to the Jin Kingdom to learn agriculture, but also went to the Jin Kingdom to borrow troops. ”

"Jin State borrowed troops?" Xue Qijiang exclaimed slightly.

Brother Pingtou and Jiang Xiaobai were also puzzled.

There are also some small countries between the Jin State and the Chu State, and if you ask the Jin State to borrow troops, even if you borrow them, it is a very troublesome and cumbersome matter to be sent back to the Chu State.

Chu He said: "I have already thought about this matter, it is precisely because there is a gap between the Jin Kingdom and Chu that I can rest assured that I can borrow troops." And I have already negotiated with the king of Zhou, and when I borrow the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, I will borrow the Zhou State and cross through the Zhou Kingdom, and it will not take too much time. ”

"What's more... Once the Jin soldiers enter Chu, the distance is far away, and the news is blocked, and the orders of the Jin king want to be passed on to the Jin soldiers, it will become very troublesome. It is convenient for us to really master the army. Even... Swallow it directly, borrow it without returning it. ”

Listening to Chu He's words, everyone was speechless.

This soldier hasn't borrowed it yet, and he has already begun to plan whether to borrow it or not, to play a scoundrel, where does he get his confidence, where does he get his face?

"Are you so confident that you can borrow soldiers and horses from Ji Yi?" Jiang Xiaobai said coldly.

Ji Yi, the Duke of Jin Zhao, is the current lord of the Jin Kingdom.

Chu Daodao: "Actually, now is the best time to borrow troops from the Jin Kingdom." The six secretaries of the Jin State are sitting big, and Ji Yi has gradually controlled the situation. If I go to borrow troops at this time and give them conditions that they can't refuse, then Ji Yi will definitely try his best to accomplish this, empty the forces that he can't control, and then recruit the soldiers who can be controlled. ”

"The question is... What conditions do you have that you can't refuse?" Jiang Xiaobai asked persistently.

Chu He just smiled mysteriously, and Sister Mimi, who was sitting on a white horse behind her, also pursed her lips, as if she knew what Chu He had in mind.

Seeing that Chu He didn't say anything, Jiang Xiaobai's anxious hair was curled, and he pulled Chu He to ask a few more times, but seeing that Chu He still ignored it, he went to ask Brother Pingtou and Sun Lian again.

But the two of them didn't answer.

Whether Brother Pingtou knows or not, anyway, even if he knows, he won't say. And Sun Cong really doesn't know, he has no sense of existence recently, and he is tired and doesn't love.

Xue Qijiang listened to it from the sidelines, but his eyes flashed.

Chu He's rhetoric and analysis are reasonable and well-founded, perhaps Chu He really sat on the throne of the king of Chu, and it is indeed possible to reproduce the majesty of the king of Chu Zhuang.

The current King of Chu Xiongju, although he is cautious, has a vicious wrist. But the mind is too small, and the big picture is lacking. The Manchu dynasty appointed mediocre people and tabooed meritocracy, and under his rule, the state of Chu would gradually weaken even if it barely maintained the situation.

If there is no change, in another twenty years or so, the state of Wu will break through the capital of the state of Chu, which is the bane planted by the king of Chu Ping Xiongju at this time. Of course, Xue Qijiang didn't know about such consequences.

But as an insightful general of the Chu State, it did not prevent him from making some similar predictions.

And in history, the biggest mistake of King Chuping was to favor the Yongchen Fei Wuji and forced Wu Zixu's father Wu Hao to death, and then Wu raised troops to attack Chu five times, and repeatedly defeated Chu, Chu's national strength declined, not only lost the strong strength of Jin and Chu to fight for hegemony, but also was repeatedly violated by small countries, and the vassal states under his command all rebelled against Chu and returned to Jin, and King Chuping finally died of depression.

It took only three days to pass through the Zhou Kingdom, which shows the narrowness of the Zhou Kingdom.

Of course, because this was once the center of the world, the transportation was also convenient, which made the march of Chu He and others a lot less troublesome.

When we arrived at the border of the Jin Kingdom, everything was different.

Compared with the wilderness and primitiveness of the Chu State and the desolation and disunity of the Zhou State. The Jin Kingdom should be much more 'advanced'.

After walking for a few days, there are already fertile fields everywhere on the road, and there are many convoys of merchants coming and going on the official road.

Of course, Chu He's entourage, because there were thousands of soldiers, naturally also received strict interrogation by the defenders of the Jin State, and after finding out the identity of Chu He, they were polite.

When Chu He and the others were still three or five days away from Xintian, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the news that he, the son of Chu Guo, was about to visit had spread all over the city, and all kinds of gossip about Chu River had been spread for a long time, and it had become a topic of conversation for people in their leisure time after dinner.
