Chapter 488 488 Retire the king as a duke

Zhaoyang looked at these people: "I understand, since you want to leave, let's leave!" ”

Zhaoyang knew that he wanted to keep these people, it was impossible, these people were a group of cowards and fearful people, and they were still grass on the wall, when they were strong, this group of people attached to themselves and followed them, but the forces on their side were dying, and the building had not collapsed yet, so this group of people began to be anxious to leave, and Mingzhe saved himself.

Of course, Zhaoyang can't understand it, relying on this group of people, it is impossible to resist the central government of Chu, this group of people is a rabble, they will be defeated with one blow, and they can't be stopped at all, and Zhaoyang doesn't rely on this group of people.

Guo Xin stood up at this time and looked at everyone: "If you want to leave, my king will not force it, I just hope that you will not defend it, and when Wu Qi's army counterattacks and when my king falls, you can still be like now!" ”

At this time, a nobleman looked at Guo Xin: "Zhaoyang, call you King Chu Zhao, this is to give you face, what kind of king are you?" Sitting on the twenty-four cities and forty places in the east of Zhaoguan, do you have a Song Guoda in this territory? ”

When Zhaoyang heard this, he immediately pulled out his sword and looked at this person very angrily: "Liu Qian, I treat you well, you treat me like this today?" ”

This Liu Qian is one of the nobles who encouraged Zhaoyang to march into Shucheng, and Zhaoyang is also convinced of him, he didn't expect that this Liu Qian is not a thing, and he speaks to him like this.

Although Zhaoyang claimed to control the entire eastern part of the Chu State, his actual territory was only twenty-four cities and forty lands in the eastern part of Zhaoguan, and the territory was one of the largest among the nobles of the Chu State.

The rest of the eastern territories are controlled by other nobles, but they are forced by Zhaoyang's coercion, they cannot be attached to Zhaoyang, but they still have actual control over their own territory.

This is also why Zhaoyang can be claimed to be the controller of the eastern part of the Chu State, because many nobles surrender to him, after all, it is close to the east, close to Zhaoyang, and too far away from the center of the Chu State, who else will follow if you don't follow Zhaoyang?

But now that Zhaoyang is not good, they are not afraid of Zhaoyang, but dare to boldly refute Zhaoyang, and this Liu Qian, the territory is one of the territories in the eastern part of Chu State, and he was also able to develop by belonging to Zhaoyang.

Now this Liu Qian can also see that Zhaoyang is no longer good, and Wu Qi's counterattack will definitely get rid of Zhaoyang, because Zhaoyang is the leader, and he is one of the largest aristocratic forces in Chu, which is the biggest obstacle to Wu Qi's policy of cutting feudal domains.

So Liu Qian decided that Zhaoyang would definitely die, and since he was sure to die, why should he give Zhaoyang face? What's more, Zhaoyang has not bullied him less over the years.

Although Zhaoyang Jue's self is very good to Liu Qian, but Liu Qian thinks that Zhaoyang is a person who oppresses, no matter what, he Liu Qian is also a prince, although the title is not as high as Zhaoyang, but the status is also extraordinary, why should he be driven by Zhaoyang?

This is his dissatisfaction, so he dared to speak to Zhaoyang like this today, and he wanted to release the unhappiness given to him from Zhaoyang, of course, this was mainly because he decided that Zhaoyang was going to hang.

If Zhaoyang didn't want to hang, he wouldn't dare to do it if he was given a hundred dares.

Guo Xin stopped Zhaoyang, Guo Xin looked at Liu Qian: "Count Liu Qian, what I said is that King Zhao's territory is only so big, and he is not worthy of being called the king, and King Zhao is willing to retire the king and become a prince!" ”

Zhaoyang looked at Guo Xin, he didn't expect Guo Xin to say this, for him who had just become king, he was unwilling to give up the throne like this.

Guo Xin looked at Zhaoyang: "Your Majesty, do you think your territory is suitable for being the king now?" You look at the world of great contention, Qin, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Han, how big are their territories, how strong are their troops? Do you think you are fit to be king compared to them? ”

Zhaoyang was silent, although he called himself the King of Chu Zhao, but the territory he controlled was so small, and it couldn't be compared with these five countries at all, and the troops were even inferior.

Didn't these five countries directly pull out a million heroes?

At that time, Zhaoyang was called the king, and that was because the eastern princes respected him as the king, he could control the entire eastern part of the Chu State, and he could provoke the suspicious royal power of the Chu State, but now he is still qualified?

The princes of all walks of life no longer respect him, and they all think that he will surely die, and this throne will naturally be retired.

"That's right, I'm Zhaoyang to remove the king number and make it a public name!" Zhaoyang looked at everyone and said.

"You're a bit self-aware, too!" Liu Qian snorted coldly, and left after speaking, while Zhaoyang was silent, looking at Liu Qian, and secretly swore in his heart that as long as he got through this difficulty, he would definitely let this Liu Qian's body be broken into pieces.

Then all the nobles left, Zhaoyang camp, and Zhaoyang looked at Guo Xin: "I really didn't expect this group of people to ......" Zhaoyang's heart was very angry.

"Your Majesty, don't be so angry!" Guo Xin comforted on the side.

"What else is the king, I am no longer a king, write an edict tomorrow, I Zhaoyang will withdraw from the throne and become a public throne!" Zhaoyang looked at Guo Xin and said.

"Your Majesty, you are just not a king now, if we get through this difficulty and become independent of the Chu State, we can establish ourselves as kings, wander among the princes from all walks of life, we can still survive, and we can even get our own interests in the princes' struggle for hegemony, and slowly strengthen ourselves!"

Big countries have the politics of big countries, small countries have the diplomacy of small countries, only if they master the diplomacy of small countries, Guo Xin believes that Zhaoyang can survive independently, and even get the benefits he wants from the cracks, slowly strengthen himself, and even become a prince overlord like Qi State.

At that time, the State of Qi was not also a small country, surviving in the gap between the Yan State and the Yue State, not because of Qi Xiaobai's diplomacy, which made the State of Qi from a small country living in the gap between powerful countries, step by step to become the overlord of the princes, and the East was strong Qi.

Looking at South Korea, when South Korea was beaten by Zheng Guo and was about to be destroyed, an excellent leader appeared, led South Korea to reverse the defeat, and then used excellent diplomacy to make friends with Han and Zhao, so as to defeat the powerful Zheng Guo, not only simply drove Zheng Guo out of South Korea's territory, but finally destroyed Zheng Guo and annexed it.

And Guo Xin thinks that he can also do these things by assisting Zhaoyang, making Zhaoyang independent and developing from a small country.

Qi Guoying Hill.

The King of Chu Mourning sent a special envoy Qu Yuan to meet Qi Xiaobai in person, and now that the State of Chu is in great trouble, the King of Chu Mourning thinks that he needs to seek the help of his blood alliance.

If it was just a simple civil strife, there would be no need for the Qi State to lend a helping hand, but now that the Sanjin Coalition Army and the Qin State soldiers are in Chu, they are in chaos within the country, and the foreign relatives will not give a certain amount of assistance.

Now this scene, it is difficult to support the central part of the Chu State alone, so he sent his capable minister Qu Yuan to meet the King of Qi Huan, Qi Xiaobai, hoping to get the help of the Qi State.
