"Your Majesty, in the past long period of time, the war has affected almost all the princes in the world."

"From the Qin State located in Guanzhong to the Qi State located on the coast of the East China Sea, from the Zhao State in the north to our Chu State in the south, almost everyone participated in this war."

"And among the princes who participated in the war, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Wei State located in the Central Plains."

After saying these words, Yin Zhao Xixie, the commander of the State of Chu, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly stopped and took a map made of sheepskin from beside him.

Slowly unfolding the map in his hand in front of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu, and with his fingers constantly moving on it, Zhao Xixie began to slowly introduce his monarch.

"Your Majesty, please see that Wei has been fighting on two fronts for almost a year."

"To the west, the main force of the Wei army was fighting against the Qin army. To the east, the Wei state led the seven-nation coalition army in a decisive battle with the Qi army."

"It can be said that it is somewhat unfortunate that, whether it was the great battle with Qin in the west or the decisive battle with Qi in the east, Wei achieved an almost brilliant victory."

After saying this, Zhao Xixie slowly raised his head and moved his gaze towards the King of Chu, Xiong Liangfu, in front of him.

At this moment, Xiong Liangfu was fixating his eyes firmly on the map in front of him, and there was a deep solemnity in his eyes.

It was obvious that although Xiong Liangfu could not be said to be happy about Wei's brilliant achievements in the past year, it could definitely be said to be fearful.

After Li Kui's reform, the original Wei State stood out from the Three Jin Dynasties and became the leading power in the world.

Now after this war of attacking Qin in the west and Qi in the east, the Wei army's troops have reached the hinterland of Guanzhong in the west, the east bank of the Jing River, and even under the Great Wall of Qi in the east.

If the Wei State captured all the land it occupied in this battle, Xiong Liangfu could not accurately predict how much its national power would increase.

But Xiong Liangfu knew one thing clearly in his heart: even the previous Wei and Chu states were not sure of victory;

Now relying on the Wei State, which has gained a great reputation in two wars, the Chu State does not need to think about defeating it solely by relying on its own strength.

As soon as he thought about this, Xiong Liangfu pulled himself out of his thoughts, and his thick and solemn gaze directly connected with what Zhao Xixie was looking at across from him.

"The power of the Wei State is beyond the power of the Chu State today. Is this why the teacher asked me not to antagonize the Wei State?"

"Your Majesty is right. This is exactly the truth."

After lightly nodding his head to express his agreement, Zhao Xixie continued: "As the king said, the power of the Wei State cannot be matched by the Chu State today, so why should our Chu State bother to compete with this world?

What if the overlords between us completely break up with each other?"

"Since Chu and Wei are allies now, why not take advantage of this opportunity to maintain a superficial calm with Wei when our strength is weak..."

"On the one hand, we will resolutely implement the strategy of advancing eastward and rely on the fertile land of Huaisi to enhance the strength of our Chu country. And once the strength is enough..."

When the words came to this point, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Chu King Xiong Liangfu, "He will go north to the Central Plains to compete with the Wei State, the hegemon of the world."

"I wonder if what I just said is what the teacher is thinking at this moment?"

Looking at the look full of aggression and ambition from the opposite side, Zhao Xixie's original solemn expression gradually melted away, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Rich heritage is not lacking for Chu State at this moment, and sufficient time is not a problem for Chu State at this moment.

The current state of Chu is like a giant ship sailing on a large river, but the most important thing is the person who can steer it.

It was obvious that the Chu King Xiong Liangfu in front of him was such a qualified helmsman.

The gratified smile flashed away, and a bit of solemnity appeared on Zhao Xixie's face, and then another voice appeared in the carriage.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Teacher, you don't have to be like this. I can think of these things only because of the teacher's advice." With a kind smile on his face, his right hand has already grasped the hand of the person in front of him, "I already understand the strategy of not turning against Wei Guo.

, just to make friends with Qin and Qi?"

Hearing Xiong Liangfu's question, Zhao Xixie said in a deep voice, "Has your Majesty ever heard of a saying that says it's hard to beat four hands with two fists?"

"The strength of the Qi State is probably only slightly weaker than our Chu State. So why did the Qi State lose so easily this time?"

"I believe that in addition to the mistakes of the frontline commanders, the main reason for Qi's defeat was the power of one country against the seven countries."

"So I would like to ask the king to send envoys to secretly contact Qin and Qi, not only because these two countries can ally with Chu, but also because these two countries can contain Wei's power for Chu.

"

After Zhao Xixie's explanation, Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, showed a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Teacher, don't worry, I understand."

Accompanied by the sarcastic discussions between Chu King Xiong Liangfu and Ling Yin Zhaoxie in the carriage, the carriage slowly moved forward in the direction of Pinglu.

…

"Xilulu..."

A long neighing sound of war horses sounded outside the carriage, followed closely by the sound of a report from a Wei army messenger.

"Your Majesty, General Pang Juan has sent a secret report."

After saying these words, the messenger took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to Wei Hou Wei Feng from the side curtain of the carriage.

Taking the secret report written by Pang Juan from the other party's hand, Wei Feng glanced at it quickly and asked seemingly casually.

"Has the King of Chu's chariot arrived at Pinglu?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu's chariot arrived yesterday."

Wei Feng, who was in the carriage, nodded slightly after hearing this reply, and then said to the messenger outside the carriage: "You have worked hard, go down and rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After a few breaths, when the voice of the messenger gradually disappeared, and when the carriage under him moved forward again, Wei Feng's eyes slowly moved away from the secret report in his hand.

A meaningful expression appeared in his eyes, and Wei Feng could be heard sighing in a deep voice: "It seems that this time the Pinglu meeting will be very lively."

The reason why Wei Feng had this sigh was actually because what was recorded in Pang Juan's secret report was none other than the fact that the King of Chu sent envoys to the Qin and Qi camps respectively.

The world situation is changing rapidly, friends may become enemies at any time, and enemies may become friends at any time.
