Chapter 444: The world is tentatively settled

Wei State, Hedong, Anyi.

As the capital of Wei, one of today's most powerful countries, Anyi, located on the land east of Hedong, is still so prosperous.

When the city gate slowly opened with a squeezing sound of wood, the tourists and merchants entering and exiting gradually formed two giant dragons traveling between the cities.

But among the team leaving the city today, several guests with special status were welcomed.

The motorcade passed through the city gate of Anyi. Accompanied by the neighing of several horses, a carriage slowly stopped outside the city of Anyi.

Listening to the voice ringing in his ears, he turned around and looked at Anyi City behind him. Qu Boyong, the left disciple of the Chu State who was sent as an envoy to the Wei State, had a complex look on his face.

After staring like this for a long time, Qu Boyong looked at the middle-aged man standing next to him, the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Qi.

"Boyong thanks Xiang Wei for his farewell message."

Gongsun Qi faced Qu Boyong's deep bow, and immediately walked quickly to him and supported him.

"Zuo Tu please get up quickly. I hope Zuo Tu can return to Chu smoothly."

"Return to Chu State..." Qu Boyong murmured to himself, and his face became more bitter, "As a minister of Chu, Boyong should have benefited the country. It's just..."

After a slight pause and a slight shake of the head, Qu Boyong continued to say bitterly: "It's just this trip to Anyi. How can Boyong have the face to return to Chu to meet the king."

The reason why Qu Boyong said such words was that the price Chu paid this time was really high.

Before the war began, the kings and ministers of the Chu State were very ambitious. They mobilized an army of 100,000 and united with the Qi State to prepare to defeat the Yue State in one fell swoop.

However, since Wei, a powerful opponent, came to an end, the Chu State, which had been experiencing frequent successes, suddenly experienced a 180-degree reversal.

Especially after the Wei army invaded Wan County with force, Chu's heartland was suddenly exposed to the Wei and South Korean coalition forces.

Seeing that his own army was outside, and that the combined forces of Wei and Han were about to approach the capital of Ying, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu finally had to agree to Wei's request after weighing the situation.

This promise not only meant that the Chu State's war against Yue had failed, but also that it would cede large areas of territory to Wei and South Korea.

In particular, the loss of Wan County, including the important northern town of Wancheng, directly exposed the key points of Chu State to South Korea.

With the loss of Wanjun, the Great Wall, which had previously been so important, also fell into the hands of South Korea. Chu State could only rely on the Han River to resist attacks from the north.

It can be said that since then, the originally powerful Chu State has lost its channel for hegemony in the Central Plains, and its offensive and defensive momentum has also undergone great changes.

Gongsun Qi, who was the driving force behind all this, was naturally very clear about Chu State's current situation.

He had no choice but to say anything to the bitter look on Qu Boyong's left disciple of Chu State in front of him.

After all, both sides are their own masters, and all plans and calculations are for the benefit of their respective countries.

All Gongsun Qi could do was stare at the opposite side silently, not letting his words affect Qu Boyong's mood.

After this continued for who knows how long, Qu Boyong managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.

"It's getting late, it's time for Boyong to leave, Prime Minister Wei, I hope to see you again someday!"

After finishing speaking, Qu Boyong strode towards the carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

Watching Qu Boyong boarding the carriage, seeing the carriage slowly moving forward, until his carriage completely disappeared from sight, Gongsun Qi then turned around and returned.

A moment later, a report sounded in the main hall of the Wei Palace.

"Report to your Majesty the Prime Minister to ask for an audience."

"Please."

"Here."

Hurrying footsteps sounded in his ears, and a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes. Wei Feng looked at his Prime Minister with a smile on his face.

"The Ambassador of Chu is gone?"

"Exactly."

Upon hearing the news of Qu Boyong's departure, the smile on Wei Feng's face became even brighter.

For this battle to resist Chu and save Vietnam, Wei State mobilized a total of 150,000 troops, and also roped in South Korea as an ally.

With the departure of the Chu envoy, the war finally came to an end.

With just a brief inventory, Wei Feng knew that he had made the right decision to enter the market, and that Wei Guo's gains this time were not without great benefits.

First of all, the dispatch of troops by the Wei-Korean coalition forced the State of Chu to give up attacking the State of Yue, and the nail that the State of Wei had stuck in the back of the State of Chu was preserved.

Secondly, the Wei State pushed its territory southward to the Juyang line. After the gap was completely built, the Wei State could better manage the central part of the Chu State.

In the end, through its advantage on the battlefield, Wei State successfully delivered the strategic territory of Wan County to its ally South Korea.

If Chu wants to move north in the future, South Korea will bear the brunt of it, and Wan County, which is rich and geographically important, will be the focus of competition between the two sides.

In order to defend Wan County, resist Chu's offensive and then conquer Chu, South Korea must closely follow Wei.

Wei State is using Wanjun as a piece of fat to tie South Korea firmly to its own chariot.

The more he thought about it, the more delighted he became. Facing the advantage Wei had gained over Chu from then on, Wei Feng couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

With this smile, Wei Feng continued to ask Gongsun Qi: "I wonder what the situation is like on the front line?"

"Your Majesty, the army attacking Chu has already embarked on its return journey."

Looking at Wei Feng with a smile on his face, Gongsun Qi then changed the topic and reminded: "Your Majesty, I think that although we have won this battle, the Chu State has not been injured after all. We, the Wei State, have to defend it.

.”

Because of Gongsun Qi's reminder, Wei Feng, who was still a little complacent in his heart, immediately became alert again.

Now Zhao State in the north is in the joint resistance of several forces and has no time to look south; Qi State in the east has been severely damaged by two consecutive defeats; Qin State in the west has been defeated by Wei State.

Looking around the current Wei State, the only one that can pose a threat to the Wei State is the vast Chu State.

Although the Chu State was repeatedly defeated by the Wei army in this battle, it cannot be said to be a casualty, but it cannot be taken lightly.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Feng's eyes flashed brightly, and he ordered Gongsun Qi: "Tell Bai Gui to step up the construction of the gap."

"Follow orders."

Not long after Gongsun Qi left, along with the sound of footsteps, a silk letter from the north, written by Prince Wei Shen himself, was delivered to Wei Feng's hands.

After reading this silk book, Wei Feng's eyes glowed with joy again.

With the arrival of this silk letter, the war between the four northern kingdoms of Zhao, Zhongshan, Qi and Yan finally came to an end.

"The world is at peace for the time being."
