Chapter 332 332. Return of the Territory
Li Kui didn't dare to call the shots alone, he wanted to write a letter to inform King Wei Hui, if King Wei Hui gave an order, he would, he would promise Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Li Kui and said, "There is not much time left for your Wei Kingdom, you have to let your King Wei think about it quickly!" ”
Li Kui nodded, he also knew that time was pressing now, and he had to quickly teach Qi Xiaobai's meaning to King Wei Hui.
King Wei Hui sent an envoy to Yingdu.
King Xiong of Chu looked suspiciously at the envoy of Wei in front of him: "Your Wei State and my Chu State are mortal enemies, why did you King Wei Hui send an envoy to us today?" ”
The envoy to Chu was Ximen Leopard, who left Korea and went to Chu, and he had to persuade Chu not to march into the Central Plains.
"Different periods, different relationships!" Simon Leopard said lightly.
"Say, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with your King Wei Hui asking you to come to me?" Xiong Su looked at Simon Leopard and asked.
"Does King Chu know the emperor's edict?" Simon Leopard looked at Xiong Su and asked.
Xiong nodded suspiciously: "Of course I know, the emperor ordered that the princes of the world crusade against your Wei State!" ”
"King Wei Hui asked me to come at this time, just to hope that you will not respond to the call, we are willing to return all the territory of Chu that was cut off by the Central Plains War to Chu State!" Simon Leopard looked at Xiong suspiciously and said.
King Wei Hui didn't care much about the territory of Chu cut off in the Central Plains War, although those territories looked very large, they were basically rotten and had no strategic significance.
The strategic places to defend the Chu State are still those territories before the Central Plains War, so he Wei Hui is not distressed to return the former Chu State homeland to the Chu State.
And you can also make yourself less risky, which is a very profitable deal.
Xiong looked at Ximen Leopard suspiciously: "You King Wei Hui are really enough!" "Those lands, King Wei Hui can't look down on, but Chu State looks at it, Chu State has always loved the territory the most, they don't care if this territory is rotten or not, as long as it's big.
Because of this hobby, the expansion of the Chu State is very frequent, and the territory it has developed is very large.
Of course, it is also because the territory is very bad, so the Chu State can easily get the territory of this country, and the Chu State continues the sub-feudal system of Zhou.
Although this system has many drawbacks, expansion is a very advantageous means, such as if you include the territory of my Chu State, I still let you be the lord of this land.
Based on this alone, the state of Chu expanded ten countries around it at the beginning.
The current state of Chu is a super-powerful vassal state that has been integrated after destroying more than fifty small states.
And ten of them, in the interests of this feudal system, directly surrendered to the state of Chu and surrendered without a fight.
"Is that true?" Xiong Su looked at Simon Leopard and said.
Xiong Su, who has just succeeded to the throne, hopes very much that he has made some achievements, and if he just succeeds to the throne, he will be able to seize the territory of Chu that was once ceded by Wei, which is a very huge merit and achievement.
Of course, if Xiong Su responds to the emperor's call, he may get more territory, but Xiong Su has just succeeded to the throne, and there are still many lords who are not convinced by him.
The three major families of the Chu State did not give face to Xiong Su at all, and it was also for this reason that the emperor's edict was issued, and he had no intention of responding at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but the current situation is simply unable to respond to the emperor's call.
If he could, how could he give up this opportunity to enter the Central Plains?
If he succeeds in entering the Central Plains, his merits will surpass that of King Chu Huai in the future.
However, the current form of the Chu State cannot allow him to launch foreign wars at all, and his central army needs to suppress the scholars of the Chu State, once the war is launched, his central army has losses, and it will be very difficult to suppress the scholars at that time.
As for dispatching the Shi clan to help him attack the Wei State, there is no need to think about it at all, the prestige of the King of Chu Mourning has not yet reached the level of King Chu Huai, who can mobilize the Shi clan to help him in the war.
Of course, there are small Shi clans who can fight for King Chu Mourning, but the small Shi clan's power is too weak, and if they are assembled, they can't form any strength.
And King Chu Mian has just succeeded to the throne, and he can't command the three major families and the super strong clans.
Therefore, King Chu Mourning could only look at this opportunity and leave in front of him, he had been depressed.
Of course, King Wei Hui didn't know about this, and if he knew, he would definitely not send an envoy here, mainly because King Wei Hui's eyes were on Zhao and Qin, and he paid too little attention to Chu.
I only know that King Chu Huai died, and King Chu Mourning succeeded to the throne, and King Chu Mourning succeeded to the throne with the help of Qi State.
Because of the lack of attention, and after the emperor's edict was issued, he Wei Hui King had to consider the whole situation comprehensively, so he arranged for Ximen Leopard to go to South Korea, and asked South Korea to send troops to help him resist Qin, and then let Ximen Leopard not return to Wei, but went straight to Chu in the south of Wei.
King Chu Mourning looked at Ximen Leopard: "The emperor has always regarded us as barbarians and looked down on us, and my Chu State will not respond to his edict!" ”
The emperor has indeed always looked down on the Chu State and has always regarded the Chu State as a barbarian, so the Chu State is not satisfied, so he will be the first to claim the throne and despise the imperial power, if it were not for the Jin State that protected the emperor at that time, Xiong Tong, the king of Chu Wu at that time, may not simply be the king of himself, but directly called the emperor.
The period of King Wu of Chu was the most powerful period of the State of Chu' and the hegemony of the country, and the name of Wu' at that time the national strength of the State of Chu reached an unprecedented peak, and it has been at war with the overlord of the Central Plains of the Jin State, and the State of Jin was defeated several times, and the King of Wu of Chu died in the journey because of physical discomfort in the last journey.
However, during the reign of King Wu of Chu, the state of Chu had the opportunity to replace Zhou, but it was against people's wishes.
At that time, Zhou was not the current Zhou, although the overlord of the Central Plains at that time was the Jin State, but the Zhou Dynasty still had a certain appeal, and many princes did not dare to disobey Zhou, but at that time, King Wu of Chu dared to establish himself as the king.
Of course, King Chu Wu also went to ask for the title, but the emperor did not agree, although he later admitted it, but it was also considered self-reliant.
After the death of Xiong Tong, King Wu of Chu, the period of King Wen of Chu was better, continuing the hegemony of the State of Chu, and competing for hegemony with the State of Jin for many years, after the death of King Wen of Chu, the monarchs of the State of Chu were not as good as the generation, and in the period of King Huai of Chu, there was a bit of Zhongxing, and the scholars stood with the King of Chu again.
But King Chu Huai's heart was small, because he had lost a lot of land, coupled with the ridicule of King Wei Wu, and the sullenness in his stomach, this lord of Zhongxing of Chu died early at the best age.
If King Chu Huai does not die, it is very likely that the State of Chu will return to the generation of King Wu of Chu again.
When the world hears about the 'Chu', they are afraid of it!
It is also because of King Wu of Chu that the royal family's impression of the State of Chu is quite bad, and they have always despised the State of Chu, even if the State of Chu is strong, they are also despising it.
