Chapter 148 148
When Qi Xiaobai was angry, Guan Zhong stood up and explained the importance of Le Yi to Qi Xiaobai.
"This Le Yi has the Yan State Iron Cavalry, and he has completely controlled the Northern Hebei Army, and we still need him to resist the alien race!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
"Do we really want Jibei to give it to him?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong and asked.
"Gong, sometimes, I just have to sacrifice, although I don't want to, but this is something that can't be helped, this Le Yi is our wall in the north!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
After Qi Xiaobai heard this, he could only be silent again, that's right, Qi Xiaobai wants to dominate Kyushu, the wall of the north can't collapse, and he still needs Le Yi to guard the north and help him defend against foreign races.
In fact, Le Yi in the northern Hebei region has always been in control, and Qi Xiaobai's power is actually in the southern Hebei region.
After all, Lejia in the northern Hebei region has been operating for generations, and Lejia's right to speak is much greater than that of Yan Guogong!
If it weren't for Lejia abiding by the agreement with Yan Guogong and not wanting to be infamy, maybe this Lejia would have gone out independently a long time ago.
However, Qi Xiaobai's entry into the Yan Kingdom did present Le Yi with an opportunity to become the lord of the country......
Le Yi is like Qi Xiaobai asking for the position of marquis, saying that it sounds good is called giving the title, but to put it bluntly, it is actually just asking for it!
As long as Qi Xiaobai gives him the title of marquis, this Le Yi will become the true king of a country, and it is also legal.
He is actually asking for a legitimacy, although he is now the lord of northern Hebei, but he has no legitimacy, Yan Guogong has never sealed him, there is no legitimacy, and it is not conducive to his rule.
However, after the title of Marquis of Le Yi, then there will be a big threat to Qi Xiaobai's north, although Le Yi can resist foreign races, but who can guarantee that this Le Yi will not become a threat to him Qi Xiaobai?
"It's not impossible to give it to Marquis Le Yi, but if it is given to Marquis Le Yi, he has a heavy army, and he can also collect taxes in his territory and recruit soldiers and horses, isn't this a threat to us?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong and asked, he saw this threat, and he believed that this Guan Zhong also saw this threat.
"Le Yi wants to get rid of it, but not now!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
As Qi Xiaobai thought, he saw Le Yi's danger, how could Guan Zhong, who was the number one strategist of Qi State, not see it? If you can't see it, this Guan Zhong can resign and go home!
"The alien race in the north is a threat after all, and Le Yi has the Yan Country Iron Cavalry in his hand, if we collide with it, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
"Even if we want to make a move against Le Yi, we can't take coercive measures!" Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
"And now that the alien race is outside, we still need Le Yi to resist the alien race!" Guan Zhong said again.
At this time, the Triple Alliance had been stationed outside Shanhaiguan, attacking it from time to time, or bypassing Shanhaiguan and attacking it, fighting the autumn wind.
However, with Le Yi's guard, the Three Kingdoms Alliance can only bypass the Shanhaiguan Pass at most to fight the autumn wind, and it is not possible to enter the depths of the empire, Shanhaiguan has a military fortress with very dangerous terrain, and the standing army of the Northern Hebei Army is stationed, and bypassing the Shanhaiguan will face the first cavalry corps of the empire 'Yan Cavalry Legion! ’
Le Yi is a good threat to Qi Xiaobai, but it is also a sharp sword, although he can threaten Qi Xiaobai, but he can ensure that Qi Xiaobai will not be harassed by foreign races.
"Then I will start to seal him Le Yi as the Marquis of Northern Hebei, and the territory is Northern Hebei!" Qi Xiaobai can only accept this reality.
thought that defeating Jing Ke would completely take the Yan Kingdom, but now the Yan Kingdom is divided into two...... Qi Xiaobai only took the southern Hebei region, although Le Yi in northern Hebei is nominally a vassal of Qi, but this Le Yi can be said to not obey Qi Xiaobai's dispatch at all.
Qi Xiaobai wrote an edict and handed it to Wu Zixu, Qi Xiaobai looked at Wu Zixu: "Trouble General Wu to run again!" ”
Wu Zixu nodded, and then Qi Xiaobai looked at Wu Zixu and said, "If this Le Yi still makes any requests, he will directly refuse him!" ”
Give land, give knighthood, this is Qi Xiaobai's biggest limit, if you still want money, then Qi Xiaobai thinks that even if he risks foreign races entering the empire, he will send troops to fight you!
Where did the news of the Qi State occupy the Yan State reach the Chu State!
"This Qi Xiaobai really has a good plan, lure us to attack the Central Plains, and he will fight the Yan Kingdom by himself!" Qu Yuan said in the ear of King Chu Huai.
"Entering the Central Plains is the wish of my Xiong family for generations, even if the envoy of the Qi State does not come, I will attack the Central Plains!" King Chu Huai said to Qu Yuan.
"Your Majesty, now that we are alone in the firepower of the three families, it is better for us to drag the Qi country into this war!" Qu Yuan said to King Chu Huai.
"The State of Qi has given me so much economic aid, and has also given us the support of 100,000 troops, we are ......" Before King Chu Huai finished speaking, Qu Yuan interrupted: "Your Majesty, didn't he Qi Xiaobai think about entering the Central Plains?" ”
"The Qin State is called Xirong, we are called the Nanban, the Qi State is called the Dongyi, and it has never been accepted by the Central Plains circle, the Qin State, we, the monarchs of all dynasties want to settle in the Central Plains, and he Qi State doesn't have a trace of this idea?" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu Huai and said.
"Qu Shangqing, do you mean that this Qi country also wants to enter the Central Plains?" King Chu Huai looked at Qu Yuan and said.
"That's right, the State of Qi definitely wants to settle in the Central Plains, and now is an opportunity, they have an alliance with the three heroes of the Central Plains, why can't we form an alliance with Qin, Chu, and Qi? What's more, we have a blood alliance with the Qi country, and judging from the blood alliance's covenant, in our wartime, this Qi country must give us support! Qu Yuan said to King Chu Huai.
"From the perspective of the Blood Alliance, this is indeed the case, but the economic assistance given to us by the Qi State is ......," King Chu Huai said on the side.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an uninvited invitation!" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu Huai and said.
"Qu Shangqing said it directly!" King Chu Huai said to Qu Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the country of Qi and lobby the Duke of Qi Huan, if the lobbying fails, we will fight alone, if the lobbying is successful, we will fight together, after all, the strength of the group is greater than the strength of our fighting alone!" Qu Yuan said to King Chu Huai.
King Chu Huai nodded, as Qu Yuan said, with the Qi State fighting together, the odds of victory are even more increased, after all, one more ally is one more combat power!
King Chu Huai looked at Qu Yuan and said, "Then there is hard work for Qu Shangqing!" ”
"The minister is a courtier of the Chu State, and it is his duty to do his best for the Chu State, so how can he talk about hard work?" Qu Yuan said with a smile.
King Chu Huai nodded: "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Minister, prepare to start your journey tomorrow!" Qu Yuan replied, King Chu Huai.
