“…… Very good, please return to Ji Zuo after returning to China, I Shaokang is willing to accept the goodwill of your country, and sincerely reach an alliance with your country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In mid-June, when the civil war in Chu was in full swing, Feng Chen, a famous official of Qi State, sent Wu Yue as an envoy of Qi State for the second time, and reached an agreement with Shaokang, the leader of Wu Yue, in Huiji, and signed an alliance of Qi and Yue against Chu State.

This Qi-Yue alliance is probably the recognition of Shaokang as a descendant of the ancient Yue royal family, the recognition of its rule over the land of Wu Yue, and the willingness to form an alliance with Shaokang after the re-establishment of the Yue Kingdom.

Although Qi Guo did not give Shaokang practical help, it is undeniable that Shaokang needs the most at the moment - name!

Even if Shaokang is indeed the heir of the Yue royal family who died hundreds of years ago, if the Central Plains countries do not recognize Shaokang's royal name, even if Shaokang rebuilds the Yue country in the future, the Chu State can still take this point.

Don't look at the fact that Dongyue captured the huge territory of Chu in the Battle of the Four Kingdoms, but in fact, Dongyue did not have enough strength to confront Chu head-on.

You must know that at the beginning, it was Ji Run, the king of Su of Wei, who restrained the generals Xiang Mo, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei, and Shouling Jun Jingshe; It was Tian Tan of Qi who restrained Diyang Jun Xiong Shang and Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng; The Yushan Army, also led by Lu Qiutai, the general of the Qi State, restrained Xiang Jiao, the general of Zhaoguan.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the Battle of the Four Kingdoms against Chu, the armies of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei contained at least eighty percent of the troops of the Chu State, and the Dongou army of Dongyue cannot be said to have played a role of taking advantage of the fire, but it is undeniable that their threat to the Chu State is far less powerful than the armies of the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei.

Even Wu Qi, the general of the Dongou Army, fell into the quagmire of war in Jiujiang County under the blows of Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, and Xiang Jiao, the general who guarded Zhaoguan.

Dongyue was not capable of facing the huge state of Chu alone, so when Ji Run, the left minister of the state of Qi, sent an envoy Feng Tan to surrender to the enemy, Shaokang did not hesitate to choose to ally with the state of Qi.

You must know that although it is said that the king of Qi Lu Xi has passed away, Qi is still the leader of the Qilu-Wei Triple Alliance for the time being, which means that after Qi and Yue form an alliance, the Vietnamese side can quickly join the Qilu-Wei Three-Nation Alliance and become the fourth, no, it is the fifth ally - the fourth ally should be the ally of Wei.

In the same way, after the State of Qi recognized Shaokang's royal status, the State of Lu, the State of Wei, and the State of Wei would all send letters of state one after another, recognizing the existence of the Yue State.

In addition to his name, Ji Run, the left minister of Qi State, also put forward a proposal to trade with East Vietnam, which made Shaokang even more excited.

You must know that as far as Shaokang knows, Lu is building the Lianglu Canal, once this canal is completed, the four countries of Weiwei and Luqi will be able to carry out trade cooperation without being threatened by South Korea, and at that time, Dongyue will be able to trade enough resources from the allies as a member of the Five-Nation Alliance, whether it is food or weapons.

As for the military support of the Qi State, don't think about it for the time being, after all, the Qi State is also fighting a civil war, and the Gongzi Bai forces supported by Ji Run, the left minister of the Qi State, are fighting with the armies of the other sons of the Qi King Lu Xi.

Fortunately, Chu is also fighting a civil war, and he has no time to take care of Dongyue for the time being, otherwise, Shaokang is really a little stunned in his heart.

"Honorable envoy, I wonder when your country will be able to stabilize in the country?"

After signing the covenant, Shaokang hosted a separate banquet for the Qi envoy Feng Tan and asked him about the recent civil war in Qi.

Originally, it was inconvenient for Feng Tan to reveal this kind of thing to Shaokang, but after thinking about it, he finally revealed some to Shaokang, after all, Dongyue and Chu were enemies for generations, and Shaokang would not have turned his back on Qi and defected to the side of Chu.

“…… The lord of the country is not worried, the Lord Zuo Xiang supported Gongzi Bai, but he obeyed the will of the previous king, and the name was right, although the rest of the princes were still resisting, but after all, the evil did not prevail over the good. Perhaps it won't be long before Lord Zuo Xiang will personally send an envoy to meet His Royal Highness Shaokang. ”

"Hahaha." Shaokang said happily when he heard this: "Excellent, excellent, then Shaokang will prepare the wine early and wait for the good news." ”

I have to say that Shaokang has not seen Ji Zhao, the left minister of Qi now, but he has heard of this person for a long time, and is also willing to gain friendship with Ji Zhao, after all, Ji Zhao's identity is very special, he is not only the son-in-law of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, the left minister of Qi, but also the prince of Wei and the brother of Ji Run, the king of Su, which means that the alliance of Qi and Wei is unbreakable, as long as he can catch this line, Shaokang naturally does not have to worry about his Yue State repeating the mistakes of history and being destroyed by Chu again.

Having said that, thinking of Ji Run, the king of Wei, Shaokang couldn't help but want to talk to Feng Tan about the recent situation in Chu State.

"By the way, what do you think of the appeal that has recently spread in the Chu State?"

"King Su's appeal?" Feng Tan showed a strange smile on his face when he heard this, and then, he gently shook the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than that His Royal Highness Ji Run, the King of Wei Guosu, wants to disgust the royal party of the Chu State, but in fact, the royal party is indeed disgusted to the ......"

But isn't it, if there was no appeal from the king of Wei Su, in Chu State, the Wang party led by Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, would have almost been able to encircle and suppress the opposition led by the Qu clan and wipe them out, but now that appeal has almost spread throughout the northern part of Chu State, making the Wang party quite in a dilemma.

If you kill them all, you will lose the hearts of the people; If you don't kill them and exile them, you will have endless troubles.

I believe that at this moment, I don't know how many people in the party of the king of Chu are secretly scolding the king of Su of Wei, but the problem is that the king of Su of Wei did not actually help the Qu family, so that the royal party could not grasp any handle.

How so?

The other party's "good intentions" called on the compatriots of the Chu State to restrain each other, and put on a posture of completely considering the Chu State, where is the position to accuse?

Even if Feng Tan and Shaokang both think that this trick is simply amazing!

"If His Royal Highness Shaokang has some free time, you might as well appeal as well." Feng Tan showed a malicious smile.

"Hey." Shaokang licked his lips.

Starting from his heart, of course he would not want the Chu State to end the civil war so quickly, and he was eager to directly send troops to muddy the waters.

But the problem is that the nature of this civil war of the royal power of Chu is different, and it is not convenient for him to intervene directly, unless he intends to take advantage of the fire to rob, then it is another matter. It's just that Dongyue just captured a lot of land from the Chu State a while ago, and it has not yet been absorbed and digested, and it is not able to continue to attack the territory of the Chu State for the time being.

And right now, there is an extremely clever strategy in front of him, how can Shaokang turn a blind eye?

As a result, after the Wei state, Shao Kang, the leader of Dongyue, also sent people to spread the news, which was also a posture of consideration for the Chu state, calling on the opposing factions within the neighboring country (Chu state) to "restrain each other", and not to cause misery and misery to the people because of each other's impulses.

Within a few days, both the State of Lu, which was using all its national strength to build the Lianglu Canal, and the State of Qi, which was also fighting a civil war, also issued similar appealing statements, hating the King of Chu Xiong Xu's teeth.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, finally made a decision: to give up the extermination of the opposition forces led by Qu and allow them to surrender.

When this news reached the ears of Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, it simply made this three-day pillar of the Chu State stunned.

"What? Exile instead? This...... This is simply stupid! This is the return of the tiger to the mountain! ”

Di Yang Jun Xiong Shang was shocked and angry, and was faintly a little unreserved.

It is undeniable that the opposition led by the Qu clan is indeed bound to lose, and when their troops are confiscated, their nobility is deprived, and they are exiled to the vacant lands that Wei has just returned to Chu, it seems that the Qu clan is doomed to make a comeback.

But the problem is that the Qu clan still has a weapon that is a great threat to the party of the King of Chu, that is, their bloodline - the Qu clan, which also has the blood of the royal family surnamed Mi in their bodies!

This is simply the biggest threat to the Xiong clan in the Chu State, which pays attention to blood.

"Bastard!"

Di Yangjun was so angry that he scolded, and he didn't know who he was scolding.

And after learning this news, Shouling Junjingshe, who was also one of the three pillars of the Chu State, was greatly relieved.

Because he knew that his best friend, Qu Ping, the Xiling Jun, who was also one of the Three Pillars of the Chu State, would not continue to resist stubbornly.

It turned out that Jingshe knew Qu Ping very well, and after Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, told the entire Chu state to allow the opposition to surrender and commute the sentence to exile, within a few days, Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, disbanded his tens of thousands of troops and surrendered to Jingshe, the king of Shouling.

The surrender of Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, represented the collapse of the Qu clan's dream of replacing the Xiong clan in the Chu kingship.

Not long after that, the opposition, which had lost Xiling Jun Qu Ping, was defeated one after another, and was finally defeated by Xiang Mo, Xiang Pei, Jingshe, and Xiong Shang.

The defeated opposition nobles were deprived of their status and status as nobles by Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, and exiled to the fiefdom of Xiong Wu, the former Guling monarch, while Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, was detained in the current palace of the king of Chu, Hufang.

It seems that the party of the king of Chu defeated the opposition at a small price, but in fact, the civil war of the royal party was completely lost, because they did not achieve the expected goal - to completely eradicate the opposition aristocracy led by the Qu family.

If you think about it, you also know that tolerating adultery will cause endless troubles.

In late June, the opposition nobles, who had lost everything, were exiled to the land between Shangshui County, Song County, and Pingyu County, an empty land with no one for hundreds of miles.

However, the defeat of the Qu clan did not mean that the civil war in the Chu State was over. On the contrary, after the defeat of the Qu clan, the Wang faction began to split within the party, and a power-grabbing force led by several Chu princes such as Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Xiong Wu of Guling, and Xiong Sheng of Liyang quickly formed.

At this time, the generals Xiang Mo and Xiang Jiao, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei, Shouling Jun Jingshe, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, Yanyang Jun Xiong Quan, Peng Lijun Xiong Yi, these were all Yi Jun and generals who were once the king's party, and their positions have also changed.

The situation in Chu has become more tense as a result.

In the nineteenth year of Hongde of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was really an eventful autumn, civil wars broke out in Qi and Chu one after another, and the Wei State, because of the arrival of the Wei clan in Longxi, made great changes in the domestic situation. (To be continued.) )
