The result was not negotiated, and Xiang Bo, who left the mansion, also knew that it was impossible to say a circle at one time, after all, diplomatic relations are diplomatic relations, and it always takes several times to force or compromise before finally coming up with a plan acceptable to both parties.

The marriage strategy was not only after Xiang Bo came to Nanling City, as early as when Wu County discussed, they discussed countless plans, and felt that Lu Zhe would not agree to the empty and white-toothed request for peace at all, and if Chu State ceded land and paid compensation, Chu State would not have anything to cut.

If the State of Chu takes Surabaya County out and cuts it, as long as the discerning person knows that the State of Chu can't keep it, ceding the Surabaya County to Lu Zhe is tantamount to a joke, and then isn't it lent to Wei and Han? Maybe as soon as he said that he was going to cede Surabaya County, Lu Zhe went crazy.

Wealth? Chu State still has some wealth, but the Chu State, which is greatly injured, needs wealth to arm the army, and no matter how you look at it, Lu Zhe doesn't look like a person who lacks money, so forget it.

Xiong Xin has a daughter, this woman is thirteen this year, and it is almost the time to be in time, so it has become a good bargaining chip to take out the noble daughter of the royal family to marry Lu Zhe.

This noble girl, to be honest, can't bear to speak. It's not that they look extremely ugly, how can they all be descendants of the royal family, under the condition that the ancestors don't marry non-beauties, even if the men of the Chu royal family are ugly, after marrying beauties all the time to optimize their genes, the offspring will not grow too crooked. Mainly...... How so? The daughter of the bear's heart has a problem, eating, sleeping, walking, etc., etc., and seems to be holding a lamb. Can lambs, O tasteless? Even if a woman is a fairy, who would like the smell of sheep all over her body?

Of course, after having the idea of marriage and getting the consent of the king of Chu Xiongxin, the girl who likes to hold lambs in the construction of the Chu country must not let her have the habit of holding lambs anymore, and she needs to be elegant later, even if she holds a piece of priceless Ruyi all day long, it will be broken at any time.

It is always said that beauty is like jade, and the daughter of the bear heart should also cultivate her temperament. Otherwise, even if Lu Zhe agrees at that time, when it comes to marriage, he will not have the temperament of a royal noblewoman, and if there is a return, the Chu royal family will not have a second noblewoman!

Marriage, and other costs, this time in any case to make the two sides stop fighting, as for the future...... Needless to say? The State of Chu must want to recapture the land of the five counties of Chu, otherwise the State of Chu would not be the State of Chu.

Xiang Bo and Jing Ju didn't leave immediately when they left the mansion gate, they made the same move, that is, they turned around and looked at the mansion with the middle gate wide open. Watch as the crossbowmen inside lined up at the sound of the order.

"Qin annihilated Han and got Korea's crossbow, and since then the Qin army has the advantage of bows and arrows, and has become invincible on the battlefield. Lu Shizhe was born in the Qin army, and he must have known the benefits of bows and arrows to the battle array, and he would definitely try his best to develop crossbowmen. Combined with previous intelligence and what he saw with his own eyes, Lu Zhejun not only had sharp crossbowmen, but also Zhao Zhijin's pawns, Wei Zhiwu's pawns, and vine armor soldiers improved from Baiyue, these troops were also quite useful. "Uncle Xiang has been exchanging words in the palace. But it doesn't mean that he didn't observe the group of generals: "Looking at the martial artists under Lu Shizhe, they are not general." If Da Chu wants to regain the lost ground on the battlefield, it is impossible in the short term. ”

"It's too long, and he is angry with himself, right?" Jingju is actually afraid, but people always have to take care of their faces, and they are afraid in their hearts. But the mouth always has to be harder: "Da Chu still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and I don't know who will kill the deer in a hurry." ”

Hurry, look, say this. It shows that he is really scared to death in his heart, even if he wants to say something to beg face, he is not confident enough, if he is really not afraid of who will use such words.

"There's one thing I haven't figured out too much." Xiang Bo turned around and walked towards the way home. As he walked, he said: "Lu Shizhe's start doesn't look like it was premeditated, how can he take those warriors into account, how can he exercise civil affairs without civil servants after occupying Nanjun?" ”

Jing Ju didn't come up with a reason, if Lu Zhe is a nobleman, with the support of the clan behind him, then it is normal to have a corresponding background and successfully rise, after all, it is too unbelievable to start a business empty-handed. But Lu Zhe is not a nobleman, and he can come to this point without the support of the clan behind him, what is the reason?

"People have luck, whenever the world is turbulent, capable people will emerge. Qin lost Hexi out of a Shang martingale, Qin had Zhang Yi and the countries came out of Su Qin. Come to think of it, that's probably what it means, right? Xiang Bo's tone was weird, he always felt that Cang Tian was unwilling to let Da Chu be too smooth, Lu Zhe was born to prevent Da Chu from becoming stronger, as long as he could eliminate or recover Lu Zhe, Da Chu might sweep the world like the former Qin State.

Of course, such an idea was limited to Xiang Bo alone, and he never mentioned it to anyone.

The envoys of the state of Chu left, and now the place where the hall was called back to the hall began to make noise, Lu Zhe was still stumbling on the main seat, and none of the civil and military forces below sat in his place.

Among them, those who figured out the situation discussed around themselves, and those who didn't understand from the beginning to the end were asking questions around Kuaitong and Yanbi.

"Marriages, marriages between nations, are not uncommon. It's like the Qin State and the former Jin Kingdom, Qin Jin Zhi is good to hear, right? The two countries have been married for at least eighteen generations, and the reason for this is very simple, almost all the royal families at that time were from the Zhou family, and the royal families of Qin and Jin were different, for the continuation of the bloodline and for the identity matching, Qin and Jin did not delay the marriage even if there were many wars. In the back of Qin and Chu, the two countries have actually married for eight generations, even if there are Chu girls in the palace of Queen Qin today. ”

"Marriage has never been an effective means of stopping war, and the marriage proposed by the State of Chu is not as simple as it seems. First of all, Xiong Xin only has such a noble girl, and Xiang's proposal for marriage must be approved by Xiong Xin. Xiong Xinhui agrees that it is not simple, probably with a different kind of thought. ”

"As for the Chu State's recognition of our occupation of Chu, those are just empty words. Now we are strong and Chu is weak, even if they don't admit it, with the current military strength of Chu State, do they have the ability to snatch it back? Apparently not. Therefore, the state of Chu simply recognized our occupation of the five counties of Chu, opening a door for the next negotiations between the two sides. ”

"I heard clearly, it is the five counties, that is to say, the Nan County, Hengshan County, Cangwu County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County that we occupy now. This is a trap, and those Chu people have bad intentions even if they want to throw out a sweet date. Did we take the five counties from the state of Chu? Chu was destroyed by Qin, and it is not false that the five counties are Chu land, but taking it from Chu and inheriting or defeating it from Qin or others have two meanings. ”

"The state of Qin is still there, and there is no way to talk about inheritance. So we have laid down the five counties, what is the strength of the Chu State? They think that if Chu land jumps up, it should belong to Chu State, and this is where the trap lies. In the future, the state of Chu will have the ability to recapture the five counties. ”

"Besides, Xiong Xin is willing to marry. The state of Chu is the restoration of the Xiang family, and the heart of the bear is supported by the Xiang family. Let me ask, Xiong Xin, a puppet figure with the empty title of the king of Chu, can he influence the state of Chu? The Xiang clan held a large army, and all the important positions in the court of Chu were also in the hands of the Xiang clan. Therefore, the actual situation now is that the Xiang clan is the real master of the Chu State. Xiong Xin is the king of Chu, can he be willing to be the king of Chu in name only? Xiong Xin agreed to marry, but he may not have the intention of getting rid of the Xiang family by borrowing the master. ”

Kuaitong explained the regulations very thoroughly, and the words he said gave the generals a rough idea of which play the Chu State was going to sing.

Sima Xin blinked frequently when he heard this, of course, he chose to work under Lu Zhe because of his ambitions, and recently he also learned a lot about how Lu Zhe rose and what the current situation of the group he worked for.

Of the five counties, Nanjun is the best county that Lu Zhe manages with his heart and develops, and the rest such as Hengshan County, Cangwu County, Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and the latter two newly occupied ones have nothing to talk about.

Hengshan County is a military town to defend the north, and the early stage is basically based on the development of military aspects, and it is only after the war with Chu that the development of people's livelihood is put on the agenda, and it seems to be to exist as a commercial county that communicates with the Central Plains.

Cangwu County used to be called Qianzhong County, and it was once occupied by the Baiyue people, but it was about half a year ago that Lu Zhe sent troops to recover from the Baiyue people, and robbed a lot of grain hoarded by the Baiyue people to go north in that battle? Lu Zhe's development of Cangwu County is very targeted, there are agricultural reclamation left by the Baiyue people in Cangwu, and the generation that was newly named Wuling also has a large number of minerals. Agriculture and mining go hand in hand, that is, to create a large rear with logistical support.

Big rear? Sima Xin also understood why Lu Zhe went south first, after all, if he didn't solve the rear of Baiyue or something, how to start?

It is not difficult to solve Baiyue, as long as the Baiyue people are willing to concentrate their young and strong people to fight a few times, the armies of the Central Plains countries can teach those Baiyue people who do not know how to fight in a minute. It's a pity, the Baiyue people are very cunning, and when the Central Plains army pounces, they can't always find the main force of Baiyue, and the Baiyue people like to play the trick of scattering sneak attacks.

The focus of the fight against Baiyue is not to occupy the land, but to eliminate the population, which is what Sima Xin heard from Lu Zhe's mouth. It's just that Sima Xin is a little puzzled, according to the urine nature of the Baiyue people who fight without a fight, how to eliminate the population of the Baiyue people? Do you want to drill the forest and climb the mountains to encircle and suppress the map? When you think about it, you don't think it's a job that people can do.

Now that he and the Chu State are attacking and harassing the main war, the people, including Sima Xin, have already understood the strategy arranged by Lu Zhe, and they are curious about what reason their own master can find to fight the Chu State after the Chu State is soft.

"Lord!"

Yan Bi called, and everyone who was originally talking also stopped talking, and as Yan Bi unanimously saluted Lu Zhe, who had already stood up on the main seat.

When Kuaitong was explaining to the generals, Lu Zhe heard it word for word, he naturally knew that Chu Guo had bad intentions even if he was soft, and he knew better that Kuaitong would guess more, but he didn't say it in front of everyone.

"Strike war with the state of Chu?" Lu Zhe didn't think about fighting with the Chu State, but ...... It doesn't seem to prevent the conversation from continuing to be talked about whether to fight or not, right? (To be continued......)
