"Tell King Wei Hui that I, the State of Chu, will not obey the emperor's edict!" Xiong Su said to Simon Leopard.

"With the promise of King Chu Mourning, my Ximen Leopard's task can be regarded as completed!" Ximen Leopard made a tribute to the king of Chu Mourning.

Because of the land he had lost, Xiong Su was very happy and ordered to entertain Simon Leopard.

Ximen Leopard returned to Wei and explained the affairs of Chu to King Wei Hui, and Li Kui's letter also reached King Wei Hui.

King Wei Hui looked at the letter written by Li Kui, and was very angry in his heart: "This Qi country actually took advantage of the fire to rob, who does he think he is?" I already look up to him, and he dares to sit on the ground and raise the price! ”

"Write back to me, just tell Li Kui that he Qi State doesn't like to send troops to pull him down, and when I solve Zhao State, I will definitely settle accounts with his Qi State!" King Wei Hui said to the messenger in front of him.

"No king!" At this time, Wang Xuan stood up, looked at King Wei Hui and said.

"Why not? Do you mean that we give Qi 3,000 catties of salt and a year's grain and grass? King Wei Hui looked at Wang Xuan unhappily and asked.

"Of course not, it's just that the situation is not clear yet, we can't rashly refuse the Qi State, the strong Qin in front is about to enter the hinterland of our Wei State, and the war against Zhao in the rear is not yet clear, we rashly refused, Qi State, then there is no room for maneuver!" Wang Xuan looked at King Wei Hui and said.

"And what do you mean?" King Wei Hui looked at Wang Xuan and asked.

"Let's not be in a hurry to reject the Qi State, and don't rashly agree to the Qi State, when we win the war against the Qin State, it is okay to reject the Qi State!" Wang Xuan said to King Wei Hui.

Wang Xuanjue's current situation is unclear, and he rashly rejected the Qi State, which is a broken back road, so he wants not to reply to the Qi State first, and after the war against the Qin State is clear, he will reply to the Qi State.

If the war between Wei and Qin is won, then the Qi State will be rejected and the Qin State will be won, and the rear will have a guarantee, and at that time the Wei State can concentrate on Zhao, and it is only a matter of time before the Zhao State is defeated.

After all, the Wei State is strong, and the grain and grass are several times that of the Zhao State, and the Zhao State should run out of food after holding on for two years.

In fact, Zhao Guo no longer has any grain, because at the beginning, Qi Xiaobai Jue had been transporting grain and grass to Zhao Guo too much to consume his own materials, so after Zhao Guo had no grain, Qi State began to give grain and grass when he was in a desperate situation.

But if the war against Qin is lost, Wei will lose, then it will be necessary to ask Qi to send troops, and against Zhao, this can be regarded as a back road.

After all, once the war between Qin and Wei was lost, the form would be very dangerous for Wei.

King Wei Hui looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Do you think our Wei will be defeated?" Although the 200,000 Wei soldiers left behind are not elites, South Korea has sent 500,000 elites to help our Wei State. ”

"With an army of 700,000 and advanced weapons in South Korea, can't you win against the Qin State?" King Wei Hui looked at Wang Xuan and asked.

With the reinforcements of 500,000 Korean troops, in terms of military strength, Wei has an absolute advantage.

After adding Wei as the defender and Qin as the attacker, and the land west of the river was lost, Wei fought on its own, while Qin fought on the enemy, and geographically speaking, Wei also had a very large geographical advantage.

Occupying the troops, and the terrain, King Wei Hui did not feel that he would be defeated, but felt that he would definitely be able to defeat the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, of course the minister believes that he can win, but there is a case in everything, what if he loses?" Wang Xuan looked at King Wei Hui and said.

Wang Xuan, who is a native of Wei, of course, also hopes that Wei can win, but everything is a case in case, what if Wei is defeated?

If you rashly reject Qi Guo, this is not a little room for maneuver with Qi Guo.

And Ximen Leopard on the side said: "Your Majesty, I also support Wang Shangqing's meaning, we must leave some way back for ourselves!" ”

King Wei Hui looked at the two of them, and he said angrily: "Okay, after we win the Qin State, I am rejecting the request of the Qi State!" ”

Hearing that King Wei Hui agreed with Wang Xuan's words, his heart was also relieved, not that he didn't believe in the Wei and Han coalition forces, but that he was really afraid that the matter had reached an irreparable situation.

After all, it is also necessary to leave a way back for yourself, of course, the arrogant and invincible King Wei Hui is unwilling to compromise with the Qi State.

However, under the persuasion of Wang Xuan and Ximen Leopard, he still agreed to the proposal of the two, of course, he thought that when the coalition army won the Qin State, he would immediately write a letter to Li Kui to ask him to come back.

Before the war broke out between Qin and Wei, the emperor sent envoys promising a lot of territory to Wei, hoping that the king of Chu would send troops.

However, the king of Chu refused the emperor's edict on the grounds of suppressing the southern Nanban, an indigenous tribe in the southern part of the empire.

The strength is not very strong, but because of the lack of materials, it often enters the southern part of the Chu State to loot.

The south sent troops to suppress the Nanban natives several times, but they all ended in failure.

The defeat of the Chu State was not because the Nanban was very strong, but because the environment in which the Nanban grew was very bad, and after entering the territory of the Nanban, the soldiers of the Chu State were prone to illness and bacteria, so they did not die on the battlefield, but died on the way to the battle.

And because of where the Southern Barbarians grow all year round, they have long been accustomed to this land and have a certain degree of resistance.

Because of this reason, the state of Chu could only switch from offense to defense and defend against the Nanban, and the Nanban did not dare to invade the hinterland of the Chu state.

They also knew that they were relying on the advantages of terrain and soil to defeat a large number of Chu soldiers in the territory of the Nanban, but they entered the territory of the Chu State, and the Chu State did not have those burdens, the Chu army was so strong, and the Nanban was a foreign race, and the Nanban had plundered many scholars, so the Nanban invaded the hinterland of the Chu State, and the scholars would definitely unite.

In the territory of the Chu State, the fighting power of the Nanban is weak, and it cannot be weak.

Of course, the state of Chu only refused the emperor for this reason, the real reason was that he could not send troops, and he also promised King Wei Hui that he would not send troops and get the territory of the former state of Chu.

What's more, the current Chu State and the Nanban State are not as hostile to each other as before, the Nanban lacks materials, the Chu State gives the Nanban materials to help them, and the Nanban in return, the young man enters the Chu State and becomes a soldier of the Chu State, and the Chu State assimilates the Nanban in this way, trying to incorporate the Nanban peacefully into the territory of the Chu State in this way.

This method is indeed very good, and many Nanban tribes have joined the Chu State and become the scholars of the Chu State.

Of course, this method was not thought up by King Chu Mourning, but by the late King Chu Huai, he used this method to solve the hidden dangers in the south that had plagued Chu for many years, so that he did not have to worry about the rear, and he could face the Central Plains with confidence.
