On the south bank of Wo River is the Chu army's camp.

Standing quietly in the main tent of the camp, Zhaoyang could feel that he was surrounded by a depressing atmosphere at this moment, and the source of this atmosphere was none other than his grandfather, Yin Zhaoxixie, the commander of the Chu Kingdom.

Looking over quietly with a hint of fear, looking at the frown on his face, Zhaoyang immediately asked softly.

"Your Majesty, General Mo, I see that you have been looking worried for a while, and you don't know why?"

Zhao Xixie slowly withdrew his gaze from the silk book in his hand, and then replied in a deep voice with a somewhat solemn tone: "Not long ago, the monarchs of the three kingdoms of Wei, South Korea, and Zhao met.

In Yecheng, after decades, the three Jin Dynasties stood together again."

"This is happening!"

After hearing Zhao Xixie's words, Zhaoyang first showed a bit of surprise, and then soon showed a bit of solemnity.

"Ling Yin, will the renewed alliance between the three Jin and Jin be detrimental to our country of Chu?"

"This is not enough." Zhao Xixie did not take Zhaoyang's worries to heart. "The strength of the three Jins together is not weak, but our country of Chu is not weak and can be bullied."

"Whether it is the Marquis of Zhao, the Marquis of Han, or the Marquis of Wei, who is the leader of the Three Jin Dynasties, they are not fatuous kings. I believe they can clearly see the pros and cons of fighting with our Chu State."

After some words dispelled Zhaoyang's worries, Zhao Xixie changed the topic and said, "I'm just worried that this alliance of the three Jins will hinder Chu State's future march northward to explore the Central Plains."

After hearing the worries in Zhao Xixie's heart, Zhaoyang pondered for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that our country of Chu is vast and spans east and west. If the Central Plains is not feasible, can we turn our attention to other places?"

Zhaoyang's suggestion made Zhao Xixie, who was originally frowning, light up, and a sense of enlightenment appeared in his heart.

perhaps……

Just when Zhao Xishi was lost in thought because of Zhao Yang's words, a loud voice of report appeared outside the tent.

"Report..."

"I am reporting to Ling Yin that a Wei army has arrived from outside the camp. He calls himself Wei General Pang Juan, and wants to personally hand over a document written by the Wei army general to Ling Yin."

Upon hearing the news, Zhaoyang's expression immediately became a little wary, "Ling Yin, is there any conspiracy by the Wei army?"

"What kind of conspiracy can just one person come here?" A look of interest appeared on his face, and Zhao Xixie immediately shouted an order outside the tent: "The two countries are at war, and they will not refuse to come. Moreover, now there is a conflict between the Chu State and the Wei State.

No war has broken out yet.”

"Please ask General Pang Juan to come to the account and explain."

"Here."

A soft whisper fell slowly, a sound of footsteps came from far away, and soon after, Pang Juan's figure appeared in the tent.

"Wei general Pang Juan met Ling Yin."

After bowing, Pang Juan took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Zhaoyang, who was already in front of him.

Zhao Xixie took the bamboo slip from Zhao Yang, but did not open it to read it, but just placed it on the cases in front of him.

At the same time, Zhao Xixie began to carefully look at Pang Juan, who was wearing red armor in front of him, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"General Pang Juan, I've heard of you." After a few breaths, Zhao Xixie softly praised Pang Juan: "In a short period of time, you can go from an ordinary soldier to a very important general in the Wei army. Your talents are indeed

It should not be underestimated.”

"Your Majesty Yin is really over-praised. Pang Juan's success today depends on the sacrifice of his soldiers and the promotion of Sima." In response to Zhao Xixie's praise, Pang Juan replied humbly.

"Others' help is only one aspect. What's more important is personal talent. But I admire General Pang Juan very much."

After saying these words, Zhao Xixie suddenly changed the topic and said half-testing and half-sincerely: "If General Pang Juan wants to come to my country of Chu, I will guarantee with my position as Ling Yin that whatever you gain in the country of Chu will be

Definitely not inferior to those in the Wei army."

After Zhao Xixie's words, Pang Juan's heart sank, and the expression on his face became a little ugly.

Seeing the change in the expression on Pang Juan's face after he finished speaking, Zhao Xixie's mouth suddenly curved a little, "It's just a joke, General Pang Juan doesn't need to take it to heart."

Although Zhao Xixie said it was a joke, Pang Juan's heart became more and more solemn. At this moment, he could already feel the difficulty of the Chu State Ling Yin in front of him.

In the exchange of just a few simple words, Pang Juan could barely parry, and the entire rhythm was firmly controlled by the opposite Zhao Xixie.

"Pang Juan is extremely grateful to your Majesty for your appreciation of Pang Juan."

"It's just that your Majesty was kind to Pang Juan, and Sima was kind to Pang Juan, so Pang Juan had no intention of leaving Wei."

Having said this, Pang Juan bowed to Zhao Xixie in front of him and said, "The documents have been delivered, so Pang Juan will stay shortly and say goodbye."

"General Pang Juan, walk slowly, Zhaoyang, see the general off for me."

"Here."

Seeing Pang Juan slowly disappearing into the tent, the smile on Zhao Xixie's lips became even brighter.

After a long time, when Zhaoyang returned to the tent again, and after Zhao Xixie had sat down for a few times, the image of him holding a bamboo slip came into his sight.

Slowly arriving in front of Zhao Xixie, Zhaoyang asked in a deep voice, "May I ask your Majesty, what is the intention of Sima Gongsun Qi of Wei State?"

Hearing Zhaoyang's question in front of him, Zhao Xixie did not answer, but directly handed the roll of bamboo slips in his hand to the other party.

With some doubts, Zhaoyang took the bamboo slips from Zhao Xixie, and his eyes moved quickly between the seal characters.

After reading this article, Zhaoyang's face immediately showed a look of surprise, "Sima Gongsun Qi of Wei State invites you to go to Woshui for a while."

This trace of surprise quickly disappeared from Zhaoyang's face, and was replaced by a face full of eagerness, "Grandpa, you can't go, there may be some hidden plot of the Wei State."

"Why can't you go? I believe that Sima of Wei State opposite is not a stupid person, and he will not risk provoking a war between the two countries to my disadvantage."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of expectation appeared on Zhao Xixie's face, and his gaze turned slightly to the north, "I have been a close friend of Mr. Gongsun for a long time."

…

On the vast land, the surging fertile water was not affected by the Wei and Chu armies confronting each other on both sides of the strait, and it still headed eastward never to return.

Suddenly, a dull sound appeared on the bank of this fertile water that had been flowing for unknown ages.

Casting his gaze far away in the direction of the sound, he saw two carriages guarded by dozens of soldiers each stopping at the edge of the Wo River. Not long after, two figures slowly walked down from the carriages.

Standing there, silently looking at the figure opposite for a moment, a tacit smile of understanding appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.

They walked slowly towards the other party not far away. When they came closer, the two of them bowed almost in unison.

"Gongsun Qi of Wei State has met Ling Yin."

"Zhao Xixie of Chu State has met Sima."
