Chapter 706 Twenty Years Agreement
Xuedi.
"Is King Qi here?"
In the room, Wei Jiu was drinking tea, with General Zhou Shi by his side.
"The soldiers from Jixia have already arrived first, and King Qi should be arriving soon."
The princes gathered to form an alliance, and Wei and Chu had already arrived. The State of Chu is the organizer of this alliance, and the King of Chu has naturally arrived long ago, but the King of Qi who is the closest has not arrived. This is inseparable from the tense relationship between Qi and Chu.
"I heard that the 50,000-strong army of Qi State is coming with King Qi."
Wei Jiu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the general he trusted most and felt inspired.
"Now that the Wei State has been restored, the road ahead is still very difficult!"
Obviously, the current situation between Qi and Chu made Wei Jiu lament in his heart. The King of Qi could easily use an army of fifty thousand, but this is all the military power that Wei can use now.
This alliance was about the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei discussing how to divide the land of Zhang and Chu? The Wei State was re-established, but its territory was the smallest among the Three Kingdoms, and its strength was also the weakest. Correspondingly, the right to speak is also the least.
Of course, in terms of situation, the current situation is very beneficial to Wei and Chu.
Now Chen Sheng is dead, and hundreds of thousands of Chu troops have withered away. Chen Sheng's general Lu Chen gathered the defeated troops and stationed them near Chendu, named "Cangtou Army". This is the largest force in Zhang Chu today.
There are only some small rebel leaders in the rest of the places. Their troops ranged from thousands to hundreds.
As long as the imperial army does not move out, Wei and Chu can easily annex a large amount of land occupied by Zhang and Chu.
But the problem is that this is not just a matter of seizing land, but also involves an issue of order.
A large number of troops from the Chu State were confronting the Qi State in Xue County. If a large army was deployed to annex the land to the west, no one could guarantee that the King of Qi would not stab him in the back.
That's why this alliance came into being. At the same time, Xiang was also worried that while they were talking, Wei Guo would take the opportunity to take action, so he dragged Wei Guo in.
Wei Jiu didn't want to come, but he had to come.
More importantly, everyone has a common enemy in their hearts.
That Great Qin Prime Minister in Guanzhong!
"I understand, but now that Mr. Bao is working in Linji, he has already won over many rebel leaders."
Wei Jiu smiled slightly, feeling reassured about his younger brother.
Although he said that he would form an alliance with Qi and Chu to discuss the destruction of Qin. But in private, Wei Guo's little moves never stopped.
Not long after the news of Chen Sheng's death came, the Wei army launched multiple attacks and seized a lot of land from Zhang Chu's army in Dongjun and Dangjun. They even recaptured Daliang, the old capital of Wei State, and Chenliu, the important town.
"After all, Linji is not a place where we can stay forever. Let Brother Bao move his base camp to Chenliu first."
The restoration of Wei was originally the result of Zhang Chu's compromise with Qi and Chu. All the countries regarded it as a buffer, so from the beginning, Wei Jiu, the king of Wei, did not have enough weight.
Linji did not have enough conditions to become the capital of a country.
At this time, the beams had been damaged. In Wei Jiu's mind, Suiyang was a good place to establish his capital.
With this big city, Wei will have sufficient capital to train more troops and strengthen its national strength, and truly gain a foothold.
This is also the biggest purpose of Wei Jiu's coming to participate in the alliance this time: to get this city from the hands of Qi and Chu.
Wei Jiu raised his head and asked suddenly.
"Is there anyone worthy of use among the leaders of the rebel army?"
Zhou Shi thought for a while and replied.
"There is a man named Peng Yue. He is a character. His army is in Juye Ze, not far from here."
"Peng Yue?"
…
"It will take some time for King Qi to arrive here. Please rest in peace, Your Majesty."
Xiang Liang explained to Mi Xin, but the other party smiled sweetly.
"I'm not impatient, I feel quite happy."
"Happy?"
Xiang Liang was puzzled. In order to prepare for this alliance, he agreed to King Qi's conditions and invited Mi Xin here from Xutai.
After all, they were thousands of miles away and would have to meet powerful men like King Qi later. Xiang Liang originally thought that the young Mi Xin would not be able to bear it. But looking at her now, she seems very relaxed.
Mi Lian, as Mi Xin's sister and now the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, accompanies Mi Xin and handles some government and palace affairs on a daily basis.
Seeing Xiang Liang's confusion, she explained.
"The king has been traveling all the way. The cities he passed were in good order, which shows that Lord Wu Xin is managing well."
Xiang Liang was stunned and said with his hands raised.
"This is the duty of a minister."
Xiang Liang didn't waste too much time on this topic and said quickly.
"I personally lead an army of 50,000 people and are stationed outside Lu County. In addition, a large number of martial arts masters have also entered the city one after another. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Your Majesty's safety."
"With Lord Wu Xin here, I can rest assured."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I heard that Pengcheng's army marched westward and captured a lot of land and cities?"
Xiang Liang didn't expect Mi Xin to suddenly ask this. Military and political affairs have always been handled by the Xiang family. However, now that Mi Xin asked, Xiang Liang couldn't hide it.
"Yes, Zhang Chu's defeat at this time is a good opportunity for the Chu State to expand its strength. Shao Yu is stationed in Pengcheng and sends Long Qie and Ji Bu to march westward and have already penetrated into Sishui County."
"Then is Zhao Shuang looking at you like this?"
Mi Lian was a little surprised that her sister seemed to be particularly interested in Zhao Shuang.
"I am also surprised that after Zhang Chu's defeat, the imperial army did not take the opportunity to march eastward. Even Li Xin led his troops to Luoyang."
"I'm a little tired, Mr. Wu Xin, please go down first!"
"I resign!"
After Xiang Liang left, Mi Xin stood up and stretched her shoulders.
"I'm really tired. Sister, let's go back!"
Mi Xin walked for a short distance, and Mi Lian followed behind. He hesitated and finally asked.
"Your Majesty, why are you so concerned about Zhao Shuang?"
Mi Xin stopped and turned to look at her sister.
There was no one around, and Mi Xin had a playful smile on her face.
"When my father rebelled against Qin, I was young and didn't know what happened. But I want to see what kind of man he is who can keep my sister in my heart."
Mi Lian was emotionally involved. She knew what she was thinking was crazy, but she still asked.
"So how do you feel?"
"Although I have never met him, I can see what he did. It is not unreasonable for my sister to keep him in her heart for so many years."
Mi Xin said and moved on. Mi Lian was behind, looking at her sister's back with a gentle smile.
…
"Is this Canglong Qisu?"
Fan Zeng was shocked when he looked at the box handed to him by the farmer Liu Xian in front of him.
"This was given to us by the late king and asked to be handed over to the heirs of Chu at the right time."
Fan Zeng was even more confused.
"But why give it to me?"
"The late king left behind two daughters. I am afraid that the future of Chu State cannot rely on them. So we want to give this box to the Xiang family. The young master of the Xiang family is not in Pengcheng. Giving it to you is no different from giving it to the Xiang family. "
"Where are you going?"
The six sages of the farm family were about to leave when Fan Zeng asked behind them.
"The twenty-year agreement between us and Lin Luhou was delayed for ten years because of this box. Now, it's time to put an end to it."
