The Wei State's vigorous move to dig the chasm can be said to have greatly stimulated the Chu monarchs and ministers in the capital city of Ying.

The kings and ministers of the Chu State saw clearly that although the ditch was dug in name to relieve the flood in Daliang, the Wei State was clearly Xiangzhuang's sword dance with the intention of Peigong.

In response to Wei's actions against Chu, Chu accelerated the implementation of its planned plan.

Although a huge war ended not long ago, Chu State did not suffer any major losses.

Except for the small-scale fierce battles with the Yue Kingdom in the east and the Ba Kingdom in the west, most of the main forces of the Chu army were facing off against the coalition forces of the princes on the front line.

Due to the timely evacuation of Yin Zhao Xixie and Qi's choice to proactively seek peace with Wei and Zhao, Chu's military strength was well preserved.

It can be said that compared to Qi and Qin, which suffered heavy losses in the war, and Wei and Zhao, which had large newly acquired territories to digest, Chu at this time can be said to have extremely powerful war capabilities.

But having the ability to start a war is one thing, being able to start a war at this moment is another matter.

A great war has just come to an end, and it is the time when the people of the world are settling in. The Chu State is undoubtedly risking the disapproval of the world by starting a war at this moment.

What Chu can do now is to actively contact its potential allies while preparing for future wars.

Suddenly, this machine called Chu State started to operate, and Chu State's envoys, Xi Zuo, were sent to all countries in the world on a large scale.

Wei, Zhao, South Korea, Qi, Song...

Each of these princes is the object of Chu's attention, and naturally among them is Yue, who stabbed Chu in the back during the last war.

…

"Your Majesty."

In the Kingdom of Yue, in Kuaiji, in the palace of the King of Yue.

A call suddenly sounded in the ears of King Wuzhuan of Yue, which suddenly shocked him while he was dealing with government affairs.

Looking from the memorial on the table to the front, Yue Wang Wuzhuan asked the visitor: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the King of Chu, your left disciple Qu Boyong has left Zhaoguan the day before yesterday and will arrive in Kuaiji soon."

What the visitor reported immediately aroused the vigilance of King Wu Zhuan of Yue.

The war has just ended, and Chu and Yue are once again enemies at war with each other.

It was so unusual for the Chu State to send an envoy or an important minister like Zuo Tu to the Yue State at this time.

"Why did the envoy from Chu come?"

"Your Majesty, according to the envoy of Chu, you are here for the sake of peace between the two countries."

Ah.

Hearing the answer given by the visitor, Yue Wang Wu Zhuan couldn't help but want to laugh.

The Chu State talked about peace with its enemies. I don’t know if the princes, large and small, who were destroyed by the Chu State believed it. I don’t know if the Three Jins who are currently confronting the Chu State believed it. I don’t even know if the Jin State, which is about to become history, believed it.

But King Wuzhuan of Yue knew that he did not believe it. The Chu State would never talk about peace with the Yue State. There would be a war between the Yue State and the Chu State.

This battle may take place two years later, five years later, or even after the Chu envoy leaves Yue.

In fact, there was a honeymoon period between the Yue and Chu states. Wen Zhong and Fan Li, who assisted King Gou Jian of Yue in destroying the Wu state, were both from the Chu state.

However, as the Yue State destroyed the Wu State and took advantage of the situation to move north to the Central Plains, changes in geographical relations caused the Yue State and the Chu State to drift apart.

Until the last war, Wei State sent envoys to Yue State, and the two countries finally met at war.

The hundreds of years of grievances and grievances between Yue, Chu and even Wu were briefly reviewed in the mind of King Wu Zhuan of Yue.

After being quiet for a long time, King Wu Zhuan of Yue slowly opened his eyes: "The envoy from Chu has come a long way, and all places along the way must welcome him wholeheartedly without showing any slightness."

"Here."

When the visitor's figure disappeared into the hall, Yue Wang Wuzhuan finally stood up from behind the desk.

Step by step, he walked to the sword stand aside. King Wu Zhuan of Yue stretched out his hand and carefully touched the royal sword in front of him, which symbolized the royal power of Yue. Some mottled touches continued to come from between his fingers.

"The country of Yue, the country of Yue..."

A faint voice sounded in the hall, and a series of not-so-good memories began to appear in Yue Wang Wu Zhuan's mind.

If it weren't for the civil strife in the royal family decades ago, how could the Yue State's national strength have been severely damaged? Why should the Yue State be afraid of the Chu State?

As his thoughts flowed here, Yue Wang Wu Zhuan picked up the king's sword. There was a sound of sword unsheathing, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

…

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

These two years have undoubtedly been a happy two years for the people of the world.

There are no large-scale sword fights between princes, only the rest and recuperation among the world.

In this peaceful atmosphere, the population of various countries has recovered to a certain extent.

As the most powerful country in the world today, Wei State has not been able to calm down in the past two years.

In the land of Guanzhong in the western part of the country, under the governance of Situ Gongsun Yang, the system and laws of the Wei State began to be widely implemented.

Although this process is not smooth sailing, if it continues like this, the land of Guanzhong will eventually truly become the territory of Wei.

In the land of Daliang in the eastern part of the country, under the leadership of Si Baigui, a canal gradually took shape from Xingyang east to Kaifeng and then straight south.

As long as this canal is finally connected to the Ying River, the Wei State can use convenient water conservancy to send grain and grass baggage from Hanoi and even Hedong to the south.

At the same time, in order to ensure future logistical supplies, Wei King Wei Feng ordered the expansion of the original Wei Yellow River Boat Division.

The Wei State here is doing its best to consolidate its national power, and the Chu State and Zhao State over there are not idle either.

In order to eliminate surrounding threats, Chu State sent a large number of agents to Yue State, Ba State and other countries, and a steady stream of news was sent back to Yingdu from several countries.

By analyzing these messages, Chu State learned more about its opponents, which also made Chu's monarchs and ministers more determined to go to war with these countries.

Within two years, armies one after another were sent to the east, and large quantities of food and grass baggage were transported to the Vietnam front line via the Yangtze River.

Today, the Chu State is fully prepared to go to war with the Yue State, and all that is missing is a reasonable excuse.

The Chu State in the south is actively preparing for war, and the Zhao State in the north is also preparing to eliminate its own serious trouble.

Judging from the map, the Zhongshan Kingdom is located to the east of the Taihang Mountains and controls several arteries that connect the east and west of the Taihang Mountains.

For Zhao State, Zhongshan State, which lies in the heart of the country, clearly divided itself into two parts.

So how could Zhao State not want to get rid of Zhongshan State quickly?

In the past two years, while Zhao State was digesting the territory acquired from Qi State, it also stationed heavy troops on the border between Zhao State and Zhongshan State.
