Moreover, at this time, the cabinet basically calculated why the Qin State wanted to participate in this merger that had no real interest for it.

This is because once the Qi State falls, no one in the Eastern States will be able to stop the westward advance of the Qin State, and I am afraid that the Qin State will be the current Qi State at that time.

Wu Zixu looked at Luo Ji: "I don't know if the Queen Mother can agree, our request?" ”

"Of course, as a condition, we ask the Queen Mother to be our hostage here!" Wu Zixu said lightly.

When Shangguan Zilan heard this, she hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, the Queen Mother, it is the foundation of my Chu State, you don't want to make him a hostage!" ”

"Your King Chu Xiang will also be our hostage!" After Wu Zixu finished speaking, at this time, the Qi army walked into the camp tent and held weapons one after another.

"We are not negotiating with them, we are ordering you!" After Wu Zixu finished speaking, he took out the treaty and asked him to sign it.

"You Qi country is despicable!" After Shangguan Zilan saw Wu Zixu doing this, she immediately said angrily.

When they came to Qi camp this time, they thought that the Qi State would negotiate with them well, and even if they couldn't get along, they would not imprison them, at most it would only delay the negotiation of time.

But they didn't expect that the State of Qi would be so shameless that it would directly hold the Queen Mother and the King of Chu hostage.

The other party is also a prince of one party, and he is the prince of the emperor, which is simply despicable and shameless.

Of course, Shangguan Zilan could only scold Qi Guo in her heart at this time, because he couldn't do anything with him.

In fact, Wu Zixu just wanted to imprison King Chuxiang and let him sign a treaty, but he didn't expect that Luo Ji, who loved his son, would also come to Qi Ying.

If these two people die, then the state of Chu will be in chaos and completely torn apart, because the state of Chu will no longer have an heir to the clan.

And those who can inherit the unification of Chu are those people of the Pon's clan of the Chu State, but there are so many Pon's clans, no one will inevitably obey anyone, and I am afraid that it will be a great chaos in the Chu State at that time.

Therefore, Wu Zixu believed that as long as he held the king of Chu Xiang hostage, the central government of Chu at this time could only obey the arrangements of Qi State.

"We just hope that your Chu State can agree to our conditions, and in return, we will give Chu State a million gold, and ten years of peace!" Wu Zixu looked at the three of them and said.

And Luo Ji was not as angry as Shangguan Zilan, but looked at Wu Zixu and said, "What is ten years of peace? ”

"Whoever attacks the State of Chu is the enemy of my State of Qi, and our State of Qi will definitely do everything to destroy it, and once again our State of Qi will help the State of Chu to build and restore its national strength!" Wu Zixu said lightly.

Luo Ji looked at Wu Zixu with both eyes: "Is this true?" ”

"Queen Mother, don't believe the words of the villain!" Shangguan Zilan looked at Luo Ji and said.

"Our Majesty will sign an alliance with the Queen Mother!" Wu Zixu looked at Luo Ji and said.

"Of course, you can only accept it now, you should also know how important King Chu Xiang's life is to your Chu country, right?" Wu Zixu looked at the three of them and said.

Luo Ji looked at Shangguan Zilan on the side and said, "Do we have any other choice?" ”

Luo Ji didn't want her precious son to be killed like this, so she also signed this pact with Qi for the sake of her son.

Shangguan Zilan was silent, Luo Ji looked at Shangguan Zilan and said, "Bring your majesty's big seal here, and we will make an alliance with the Qi country!" ”

Shangguan Zilan glanced at Luo Ji, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Wu Zixu: "You must treat our Queen Mother and Your Majesty well!" ”

"Rest assured, we will treat each other as kings for a generation!" Wu Zixu looked at Shangguan Zilan and said.

Wu Zixu did this, in fact, it was helpless, because they wanted to occupy the four cities of Huaizhou, which was a fast fiefdom, if the Chu State reversed itself and made a contribution, then everything they did in Qi would be done in vain.

Therefore, Wu Zixu hijacked the king of Chu and the state of Chu, so that the warrior army could have a good rear during the war.

Of course, the four places of Huaizhou are also a granary of the Chu State, and the commander of the warrior corps attacked the Chu State by surprise to feed the war with war, and the consumption of grain and grass was almost the same.

Therefore, they want to control the four cities of Huaizhou to replenish resources, so as to prepare for the next attack on Wei.

Wei and Chu are different, although Wei is empty, they all obey the dispatch of the Great Liang, while Chu has many soldiers and a large country, but they are all fighting on their own.

Although on the whole, the state of Chu has an advantage, but the real advantage is the state of Qi, because the state of Qi is a whole, and the small nobles of the state of Chu are fighting separately.

Even if the nobles unite, they all have their own ghosts, and they will be crushed with one blow.

And Wei is different, Wei Xinling, with the Xinling Army, plus the defenders, they all have a unified command system.

The warrior legion has just entered the Wei State, and it may be able to break through three or four cities to support the war, but in the long run, it will inevitably be limited to a war of attrition.

At this time, it is necessary to supplement grain and grass, and this grain and grass supplement must be transported in four places in Huaizhou.

After all, the State of Qi could not transport grain and grass to the warrior army, so it would be known that it depended on the State of Chu, and the four places of Huaizhou were an important site for the State of Chu to enter the Central Plains, and this place had a huge amount of grain, which was enough for the warrior army to rely on him and fight fiercely with the State of Wei for three to five years.

And with Tian Ji's budget, the samurai army entered the Wei State, and the war would end in five months at most, so the grain and grass in the four cities of Huaizhou were enough.

"This is the best, if our king is bullied, our Chu State will not let you go, even if the jade is burned, we will fight to the death with you!" Shangguan Zilan looked at Wu Zixu and said.

"Your Excellency, rest assured!" Wu Zixu patted his chest and reassured.

Then Shangguan Zilan left, and the next day, Shangguan Zilan came to the camp of the Qi army with the big seal, and then signed the covenant again.

The state of Chu ceded the territory belonging to Yangzhou and lent the four cities of Huaizhou to the state of Qi for a period of five years, and at the same time the state of Qi paid the state of Chu one million gold as compensation.

At the same time, within ten years of the Chu State, under the protection of the Qi State, once any force attacks the Chu State, the Qi State must participate.

The state of Chu and the state of Qi concluded an alliance on this, and the state of Chu withdrew from the coalition army.

This covenant was an alliance under the city, and the king of Chuxiang and the regent queen mother were both hostages of the Qi state, and they could only return after the end of the war against Qi.

This covenant, studied by later generations, and it was seen that this was a suzerain-subordinate covenant, and the state of Qi was the suzerainty of the state of Chu from then on, and the state of Chu became the servant state of the state of Qi.

At least for ten years.

Shou Chun.

In a Chu Guozong temple, an elderly man knelt down and looked at a tablet in front of him.

The tablet is engraved with 'King Chu Huai, Xiong Huai Ling'! ’

And this kneeling old man is Qu Yuan, after the funeral of King Chu Mourning, he brought the ministers of Yingdu to Shouchun.

When he learned that the State of Chu had signed an alliance under the city, and that the once invincible State of Chu had become a servant state of the State of Qi, Qu Yuan fainted several times.

But fortunately, they were all rescued, and there was no danger to his life, so he came to a temple in Shouchun alone and knelt down to worship King Chu Huai.
