Chu State, Yingdu.

In the post office, Chu State's Great Sima Jingshe smiled and silently stared at the Qi State envoy Zou Ji in front of him.

Just now, Zou Ji praised the state of Chu, and even called it the only powerful country in the world that could compete with the overlord Wei.

Jing She knew very well that Zou Ji's high regard for Chu was by no means unfounded. He must have been carrying some kind of mission when he came to Yingdu.

After listening to Zou Ji's words, Jing She waited for a while and then asked casually: "I heard that Wei State took advantage of the fact that your new king took the throne soon, and joined forces with Zhao, Han, Song and other countries to send troops. I don't know.

How is the battle going now?"

Jing She's seemingly careless question caused the expression on Zou Ji's face to change.

How should he answer this question?

If the current war situation between the two sides is told truthfully, the Chu State will not despise Qi State, and even think that Qi State is weak and turn to attack Qi State;

If the achievements of the Qi army are exaggerated, will the Chu state choose to sit back and watch because the Qi army does not fall behind?

After some calculations in his heart, Zou Ji said in a deep voice: "The Wei State is unruly and took advantage of the death of my ancestor to send troops to attack our Qi State."

"Facing a powerful enemy, the entire Qi State has united as one and has firmly blocked the coalition forces to the west of the Great Wall."

"It's just that two fists are ultimately unable to defeat four hands. With the current national strength of our Qi country, the defensive coalition forces are already using their full strength, but they are unable to completely defeat the enemy in front of them."

After some words explained the current situation of Qi State, Zou Ji's eyes looked at the scenery in front of him with some hope.

"The State of Chu is the most powerful country in the world today. Among all other countries, only Chu State can compete with the State of Wei."

"If the Chu State can send troops to help our Qi State defeat the coalition forces, our Qi State will definitely not forget the friendship between the Chu State and the Chu State."

"this……"

Zou Ji's voice gradually fell, and at this moment Jing She put on a very embarrassed posture.

Facing the hope in Zou Ji's eyes, Jing She said in a somewhat vague tone: "To be honest with what the doctor said, I support sending troops to help Qi."

"Now the strength of the Wei State has surpassed that of the princes in the world. If he seeks greater benefits from the Qi State this time, it will not only be detrimental to our country of Chu, but also do great harm to the princes of the world."

"What Da Sima said is absolutely true."

After listening to Jing She's words, Zou Ji immediately looked indignant.

"The ambition of Wei is so powerful. Today he is attacking Qi. There is no guarantee that he will not attack Chu tomorrow."

"I also know this truth. It's just..."

As the conversation changed, Jing She glanced at Zou Ji seemingly inadvertently.

"It's just that the faction in the court led by Ling Yin Zhaoxixie believes that the Wei State is now powerful and the Chu State must not offend the Wei State."

"Instead of sending troops to help Qi attack Wei, it is better to sit back and watch Wei defeat Qi. When Qi is defeated by Wei and the national power is declining, we, Chu, can send troops to attack Qi."

"Absolutely not."

It can be said that the news told by Jing She shocked Zou Ji severely.

If things really develop like this, then Qi will encounter tigers first, and then jackals.

Fortunately, what Jing She said next temporarily dispelled his worries, "Doctor, don't worry, my king has not yet adopted your Majesty's opinion."

Although the worries in his heart were temporarily relieved a lot, Zou Ji did not dare to completely let go.

The fact that the King of Chu has not agreed now does not mean that the King of Chu will not agree in the future. He must prevent this matter from becoming a reality.

For the sake of Qi State and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingshi Pass, Zou Ji knew what he should do.

A questioning look appeared on his face, and Zou Ji asked softly: "I wonder when Zou Ji can meet the King of Chu?"

Zou Ji's question revealed the key to the matter in one sentence, and Jing She appreciated Zou Ji even more in her heart.

"In the court meeting in three days, my king will summon the doctor in the main hall. It's just up to the doctor whether to aid or attack Qi."

"Zou Ji thanks Da Sima."

Looking at Zou Ji who was thanking him at this moment, Da Sima Jingshe suddenly remembered everything that happened in the past few days, and a meaningful smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

…

"The king has an order, and Xuan Qi envoy Zou Ji comes to see you."

"The king has an order, and Xuan Qi envoy Zou Ji comes to see you."

"The king has an order, and Xuan Qi envoy Zou Ji comes to see you."

Loud calls passed through the Chu State's main hall, passed the stairs in front of the hall, and finally came to the foot of the stairs and stood silently beside Zou Ji's ears.

With a solemn look in his eyes, Zou Ji arranged his robes very seriously, and then walked towards the main hall above.

Soon after, Zou Ji, who had regained his energy after a few days of rest, stood in front of Chu King Xiong Liangfu and a group of Chu court officials.

"Foreign minister Zou Ji pays homage to the King of Chu."

"There is no need to be too polite, envoys."

Looking at Zou Ji standing in front of him, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu seemed to have no idea at all and asked directly: "I wonder what the reason for the envoy from Qi coming to our capital is?"

"I report to the King of Chu that today, in terms of national strength and military power, the Wei State ranks first, and there is no other country in the world that can surpass it."

"It's just that although Wei's national power is already very strong, his ambitions have not been satisfied. He took advantage of the mourning period of Qi to send troops to attack me."

"The State of Chu is a big country today and the only powerful country that can compete with the State of Wei. I also ask the King of Chu to send troops to help our State of Qi."

After listening to Zou Ji's request, King Chu immediately looked at the surrounding Chu courtiers.

However, what Zou Ji didn't notice was that Chu King Xiong Liangfu's eyes paused for a moment somewhere below.

"I wonder how you think our Chu country should respond?"

"Of course we won't send troops."

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had just finished questioning his ministers when a powerful voice appeared.

He looked at the person who came. If this person was not the current commander Yin Zhao Xixie, who could he be?

Slowly arriving in front of Xiong Liangfu, Zhao Xixie bowed and started talking.

"Your Majesty, as Envoy Qi just said, Wei's national and military strength has few rivals in the world today."

"Why should I, the State of Chu, take the risk of offending the State of Wei and send troops to aid the State of Qi?"

"I report to your Majesty that I think what your Majesty Yin has said is a great fallacy."

Before Zhao Xixie's voice could completely subside, his opponents immediately stood up.

Under the gaze of all the Chu courtiers in the court, Grand Sima Jingshe slowly stood up from his seat.

"Your Majesty, if our Chu country sits back and watches Wei force other countries without stopping it, Wei will definitely become more powerful."

"Once the Wei State has accumulated enough strength, the next target it will attack may not be our Chu State."
