"Your Majesty, I think it is not necessarily a good thing for Wei State to give up the territory in the western part of Qi State."

Hearing the words spoken by the Prime Minister's uncle Cuo, Wei Feng's eyes immediately followed the voice.

Looking at the bright light emerging from the other party's eyes, Wei Feng couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Prime Minister, I would like to hear the details."

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and a look full of wisdom appeared on his face. Gongshu Cuo on the side first turned his eyes to Gongsun Qi on the other side.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the first benefit of Wei State's surrender of the western territory of Qi State is exactly what Sima just said."

"By giving up the western territory of Qi State, the princes of the world can support Wei State in occupying the land east of Qin that was captured in the Hexi War."

"In this way, our Wei State can greatly expand its territory in the west, and the difficulties in the areas of the Four War can be greatly alleviated."

After listening to the first benefit mentioned by Gongshu Cuo, Wei Feng nodded gently, "I already know this benefit. This is the main reason why I am willing to give up most of Qi's territory."

After hearing that Wei Feng agreed with the first benefit he mentioned, Gongshu Cuo then mentioned the second benefit.

"Your Majesty, I think that Wei State's move to give up most of the western part of Qi State will have the effect of appeasing the princes of the world."

Just as Gongshu Cuo finished these words, Gongsun Qi's voice rang out from the side, "If I'm not mistaken, the Prime Minister mainly refers to the Chu State, right?"

"Sima Gaojian, it is the State of Chu."

He looked at Gongsun Qi on the side with a slightly sympathetic look, and Gongshu Cuo quickly turned to Wei Feng on the other side.

"Your Majesty, Sima's words at the Bank of Wo River gave Chu the idea of ​​​​going eastward to conquer Huaisi."

"At this moment, if we, the Wei State, choose to annex the western territory of Qi State that we have occupied this time, it will undoubtedly send a signal to the Chu State."

"We, the State of Wei, are also implementing the national policy of advancing eastward. This will inevitably make Chu's monarchs and ministers wary, and may even lead to another conflict between the two countries."

After clearly explaining the negative impact that Wei would have on the relationship between Wei and Chu if it annexed the western territory of Qi, Gongshucuo's words returned to the current reality.

"On the other hand, if Wei State gives up most of Qi State's territory, it will have the effect of appeasing Chu State and allowing it to explore the Huaisi territory without any worries."

"Without the Chu State as a constraint from the south, I think it will be of great benefit to Wei State's next plans."

Although Gongshu Cuo did not explicitly say what Wei Guo would do next, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi, who were sitting next to him, showed some agreement on their faces after listening to his words.

Now the Qin State has suffered heavy losses after experiencing the Battle of Hexi, and the Qi State has been beaten to the foot of the Great Wall by the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms.

If there were no longer Chu State as a strong constraint from the south, Wei State would probably be more able to do whatever it wanted to do next.

"What the Prime Minister said is true. If we can make Chu State concentrate on advancing eastward, it will definitely be a good thing for Wei State. This is also the reason why we proposed an eastward advance strategy to Chu State before I go down."

"But apart from these two, are there any other benefits for Wei State to give up most of the land in Qixi?"

After looking at Gongsun Qi who asked the question for a few breaths, he secretly looked at Wei Feng beside him, and heard Gongshu Cuo continue to say: "Of course, Your Majesty, Sima, this third benefit is

It can greatly alleviate the defensive pressure on our land in the east of Wei."

"If our Wei State annexes the territory of Qi Xi, then our Wei State will face the threat from the Qi State in the east."

"At this moment, Qi's national power has suffered heavy losses, and it is still unable to regain these lands; once Qi becomes stronger again in the future, we, Wei, will definitely be the first to bear the consequences."

"And if our Wei State cedes most of the land in western Qi this time, Zhao State in the north, Lu State in the west, Song State, Wei State and Chu State in the south, these countries that occupy Qi State's territory will inevitably become Qi State.

The target that the country will attack in the future.”

"Once Qi State launches an offensive against one of the countries, we, Wei State, can use this to call on the other princes to join forces to attack Qi again. At that time, it will be time for us, Wei State, to completely eliminate Qi State's opponent."

"Your Majesty, Sima..."

They called Wei Feng one after another. After Gongsun Qi called out, he heard Gongshu Cuo say in a deep voice: "This time, Wei State gave up the land in the west of Qi. It seems that it has suffered a loss, but it built a building like Qi State in the west of Qi State.

The Great Wall is as strong as China."

"It's just that what Qi State built is tangible, but the Great Wall built by Wei State this time is invisible."

After Wei Feng listened to the three benefits mentioned by Gongshu Cuo, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and kept nodding his head to express his agreement.

However, after sorting out all the thoughts in his mind, Wei Feng had a hunch that something was wrong.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Gongshu Cuo and then at Gongsun Qi. After taking in the expressions on their faces, Wei Feng finally understood the origin of the premonition in his heart.

"well……"

"Prime Minister, Sima, if you have anything to say in the future, you can just say it directly, so why go to such trouble to persuade me."

"The two of you who are scheming have already understood that this time, our country, Wei, will only take the land west of Maling, and the rest of the land in Qixi can be given to the allied princes."

Seeing that Wei Feng had already understood what they meant, Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi looked at each other and smiled, and stood up from their seats in unison.

"I respectfully obey your Majesty's orders."

Just as Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi finished speaking, a shout from a distance rang in the ears of several people.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Sima, the fish is hooked, the fish is hooked..."

Hearing this shout, the three of them immediately looked forward and saw that the fishing rod in front of Wei Feng was trembling continuously at this moment.

Seeing that a big fish seemed to be biting the hook, Wei Feng's face immediately showed some excitement, while Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi were watching with interest.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

"Your Majesty, hurry up."

"Your Majesty, stay still."

…

Amidst the shouts of Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi on the side and the occasional retorts from Wei Feng, the three people who were paying attention to the general trend of the world just now are now focusing all their attention on the big fish in front of them.

Just as Wei Feng and the others caught the big fish in front of them after a moment of fighting, a carriage from Chu State was slowly advancing towards the flat land in the north.

While looking away from the endless plains outside the window, he gently put down the curtain in his hand. As the King of Chu, Xiong Liangfu looked at the other person in the carriage.

"Teacher, in this meeting on Pinglu, what position should we, or rather the State of Chu, stand on?"

Hearing this inquiry from Chu King Xiong Liangfu, as his teacher, Chu State Ling Yin Zhaoxixie put forward his own suggestion after thinking for a long time.

"Don't be at odds with Wei, but make friends with Qin and Qi."
