Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The problem is that Zhao Guo just took away a large piece of land from Qi State a year ago, and now Hou Sheng has gotten together with Zhao Guoren again, which obviously makes Qi Wangjian very upset.

If it wasn't for Hou Sheng's identity as both Xiangbang and uncle, then Qi Wangjian would have sternly reprimanded him long ago.

Faced with Qi Wangjian's questioning, Hou Sheng didn't feel much flustered, instead he showed a smile and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, this time the Zhao people sent back Heshibi again."

Qi Wangjian's eyes widened again, and the joy that could not be concealed was faintly visible in his eyes: "He's Bi is back?"

For the treasure of Heshibi, Qi Wangjian loved it from the bottom of his heart.

After Hou Sheng had to take He Shibi to Handan last year in order to seek peace with Zhao Guo, Qi Wangjian felt distressed for a long time.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, He Shibi actually came back.

Thinking of this, King Qi immediately waved his hand: "Come here, and summon the envoys of the State of Zhao!"

For the sake of He Shibi, Qi Wangjian decided to meet the Zhao Guo envoy.

Soon, Su Dai appeared in the hall.

"I have seen the king!"

Qi Wangjian nodded and said: "Envoy, please sit down. I don't know why you came here this time?"

Qi Wangjian looked very calm and indifferent.

Since the people of Zhao State came to give gifts, it must be that Qi State has something to ask for, and since it is something to ask for, then Qi Wangjian naturally did not panic.

Su Dai smiled at King Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I have come here to give you a piece of fertile land for thousands of miles."

Qi Wangjian was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where does this thousand miles of fertile soil come from?"

Su Dai smiled and said, "Come from Huaibei."

"Huaibei?" Qi Wangjian and Hou Shengjun and his ministers showed surprise expressions at the same time.

Huaibei, generally speaking, refers to the area north of the Huaihe River.Large tracts of land including Pi, Tan, Lanling, Pengcheng, and Xueyi.

When the Qi State was at its peak, this area was completely owned by the Qi State.

But after the Five Kingdoms defeated Qi, Chu State took the opportunity to go northward and took Huaibei from Qi.

To this day, Qi State has not been able to take back this piece of land.

Therefore, after hearing Su Dai's suggestion, Qi Wangjian's expression changed, and he said: "The message of the envoy, could it be that Zhao Wang wants to join forces with the widows to attack Chu?"

Su Dai nodded affirmatively, and said, "Exactly."

Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng looked at each other, and they both saw the joy hidden in each other's eyes.

With Zhao Guo's help, there is indeed hope to regain Huaibei.

But Qi Wangjian was not dazzled by Su Dai's words, but after thinking about it, he said to Su Dai: "How do you know that King Zhao is not lying to you? Then Chu is an ally of Zhao. , Why did King Zhao suddenly want to attack Chu?"

After all, they had just played a match last year, and now Qi State's trust in Zhao State is quite low.

So after the surprise, Qi Wangjian's first reaction was to doubt Zhao Guoren's motives.

Regarding Qi Wangjian's doubts, Su Dai obviously expected it long ago, and immediately said to Qi Wangjian in a leisurely manner: "Your Majesty does not know that Chu State is still an ally of Zhao State on the surface, but in fact it is secretly an alliance with Qin State. I want to make Zhao Guo an enemy."

Qi Wangjian fell into deep thought after hearing these words, and said after a long time: "So King Zhao intends to gather the alliance of the three Jins, and together with the power of the Qi State to attack Chu State together?"

Su Dai nodded and said, "Exactly."

Qi Wangjian stared at Su Dai with piercing eyes, and said: "This Zhao Wang is so kind, and wants to help the widow recover the lost land?"

Su Dai smiled and said: "Go back to the king, my king naturally has conditions."

"What conditions does King Zhao have?"

Su Dai said: "First of all, the rules of this war against Chu are very simple. The land occupied by any country will be owned by that country. Then, no matter who occupies Qufu, all the old places of Lu State including Qufu must be It is owned by Zhao State."

Qi Wangjian smacked his lips a little, and tasted some taste.

As the leader of the whole war, Zhao State had the guarantee of Lu State's original land in the worst case.

As for the others, everyone depends on their own abilities, and whoever conquers more territory will be able to obtain greater benefits.

It still sounds like a very good solution.

Qi Wangjian pondered for a moment, and said, "When does King Zhao plan to launch an attack?"

Su Dai said: "Ten days at the earliest, within a month at the latest."

Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng exchanged glances, and then made a decision, saying: "In that case, please send an envoy to reply to Zhao Wang. As long as the Three-Jin coalition forces enter the territory of Chu, I will send troops to attack Chu immediately!"

Chapter 534 King Chu, you are seeking your own death! (fourth more)

Chen Cheng.

At noon that day, King Yuan of Chu, who had just finished a court meeting, got a piece of news.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the State of Zhao are begging to see you!"

"Envoy from the State of Zhao?" Chu Wangyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but said to Huang Xie in front of him, "Mr. Chunshen, do you know why the envoy from the State of Zhao came here?"

It was under Huang Xie's strong support that Chu and Qin, the centuries-old CP enemies, chose to turn their hostility into friendship and secretly concluded an alliance to fight against Zhao, which was already comparable to Jin back then.

It was precisely because of Huang Xie's efforts to facilitate this matter that Chunshen Jun, whose position as Ling Yin was already in shambles, once again gained the trust of King Yuan of Chu, and gained a firm foothold in the political arena of Chu State again. , Gained the ability to fight against the three major families of Zhaojingqu.

To be honest, Chu Wangyuan actually felt a little guilty when he heard the envoy from Zhao State came to visit.

Although lying and conspiracy are everywhere at this time, and the spirit of contract is basically thrown into the trash can by the monarchs, but in any case, when facing Zhao Guo, the rightful lord, the guilt brought by not keeping promises is definitely There are still.

Huang Xie didn't seem to notice the strangeness of King Yuan of Chu, or maybe he saw it but didn't want to tell the truth. In short, this Chunshen Lord finally gave an unconfirmed answer: "Your Majesty, why did the envoy Zhao come here? I really don't know, but I guess that the envoy Zhao came this time, it should be one of the three parties that joined the king to crusade against Qin, Qi, and Wei."

After hearing Huang Xie's words, King Yuan of Chu seemed to relax a little, and said, "In this case, let Zhao envoy go to the palace."

A moment later, Zhao Guoda's pedestrian Zheng Zhu appeared in front of Chu Wangyuan.

"Foreign minister Zheng Zhu, I have met the king!"

As a professional diplomat, Zheng Zhu did not show any faux pas in his gestures, and gave people a sense of personability.

Chu Wangyuan showed a smile on his face: "The envoy, please sit down. I don't know why the envoy came this time. Could it be that King Zhao is planning to conquer Qin with the widow?"

Zheng Zhu laughed, and said to King Yuan of Chu, "No, the foreign ministers came here this time to persuade the king to return from the wrong way."

Although Zheng Zhu had a smile on his face when he said this, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes at all.
