Early the next morning, Gao Yuan immediately summoned Zhang Liang and Chun Yubo to learn about the situation of their two envoys to Qi and Chu.

After listening to the two of them talk about their experiences in the past few months, Gao Yuan knew that this time it was not so simple for Qi and Chu to recognize Gao Yuan as king and maintain the alliance between the three countries.

In the past ten months, Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang were mainly active in the Qi State, and the two first met with the great Sima Anping Jun Tian Kezang of the Qi State in the Qi State, as well as the envoys of the Chu State, Xiang Dong and Xiang Liang brothers, to discuss the formation of the Triple Alliance, and even the formation of a joint expedition against Qin.

However, in the government and opposition of the Qi State, there is still considerable resistance to the comprehensive and Qin State as enemies, because the Qi State pursues the national policy of being friendly with the Qin State, friendly with the countries, and not participating in the wars of the countries for more than 40 years, and has also enjoyed a peaceful life for more than 40 years, so most people do not want to change anything, and hope to maintain this situation forever, although there are some people of insight who understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and know that this peaceful situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and after the Qin State destroys the other countries, the Qi State will not be spared. But people with such opinions, after all, are only a minority, and it is not easy to change this inert thinking of Qi State.

After the Qin State swallowed up the Three Jins, the Qi State felt some threatening breath and became a little nervous, but with the defeat of the Qin army on the plateau, the balance of power was revealed, so the Qi State was relieved and fell into inertia again.

In addition, the alliance formed by the three kingdoms of Qi and Chu was even united, and the Qin State was not idle. The Qin State set up a large number of spy personnel in the Qi State, and had close contacts with many high-ranking officials and wealthy families of the Qi State, so such news could not be concealed from the Qin State.

Of course, the Qin State did not want to see the formation of the three kingdoms of Qi and Chu, so they also sent Yao Jia and Dun Liang to the Qi State openly as envoys of the Qin State, and also brought thousands of gold to destroy the alliance of the Three Kingdoms. First of all, he naturally found Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi, gave Hou Sheng Qianyi gold, and asked Hou Sheng to try to prevent Qi from joining the anti-Qin alliance. At the same time, he also proposed Qin Qi's plan to Qi State.

"Lianheng" is in the middle of the Warring States period, the Qin State in order to break the Eastern states and implement the countermeasures, simply put, with the Qi State to form an alliance, so that the east and west are connected into a horizontal line, separating the north and south of the countries.

On the one hand, in the past few decades, he has obtained more than 10,000 yuan of gold from Qin. On the other hand, it is also because Hetian Kezang is vying for power and profit, so everything that Tian Kezang agrees with, Hou Sheng must of course oppose it. However, Tian Kezang had the support of the two countries of Dai Chu behind him, and Hou Sheng did not dare to act rashly for a while, so he had to keep his head in obscurity, but after getting the support of Qin, Hou Sheng immediately became active, and Tian Kezang fought-for-tat against Qi to join the anti-Qin alliance.

Hou Sheng has controlled the government of Qi for more than 30 years, and he has been deeply rooted in Qi State, with many comrades, and his power in the court is much greater than that of Tian Kezang, so he immediately suppressed Tian Kezang. However, Tian Kezang held the military power of Qi after all, and although Hou Sheng was able to suppress Tian Kezang in the court, he could not completely return to Tian Kezang. At this time, Qi Wangjian's attitude became Guan Jian, if Qi Wangjian fell to that side, that side would have an absolute advantage.

But Qi Wangjian just didn't express his position, and just met with the envoys of the three parties on behalf of Chu and Qin with the same etiquette, but he didn't say anything in essence, and the questions about Hou Sheng and Tian Kezang were all about him. In the end, he simply said that he was sick and hid in the palace, and Hou Sheng and Tian Kezang had no way to deal with him.

Although Qi Wangjian's intelligence is not high, he does not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, so he acquiesced to Tian Kezang secretly forming an alliance with Daijun and Chu, and in the name of business management, he provided materials to Daijun, facilitated the transfer of materials for Chu, and supported the Dai army to fight against Qin, but to completely turn his face with Qin, Qi Wangjian could not show such courage, and in official affairs, Qi never formed an alliance with Daijun and Chu, and still maintained the national policy of friendship with Qin and friendship with other countries.

In fact, Qi Wangjian also has his own plans in his heart, Qi is still friendly with various countries on the surface, but secretly supports Daijun to resist, as long as Daijun can block Qin, it can also ensure the safety of Qi.

As a result, Wang Jian of Qi became a turtle with a shrunken head, and the envoys of various countries had no choice, Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang discussed and decided to leave Qi for a while and go to Chu first, if they could first negotiate with Chu about the alliance, and then return to Qi, they might be able to put pressure on Qi and force Qi to join the alliance. And Tian Kezhang had no other way, so he had to send his eldest son Tian Zhan to envoy Chu with Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang.

The attitude of the state of Chu towards the formation of an alliance to resist Qin is obviously much more positive than that of the state of Qi, which is mainly due to historical reasons. Although the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han have suffered no less losses from Qin than Chu, but these three kingdoms can occasionally recover a little bit of the field, not to mention Zhao, Wei also defeated Qin twice when Xinlingjun was in power, and although South Korea did not defeat Qin alone, it followed Zhao Wei and also picked up some conveniences.

Only the state of Chu in the confrontation with the state of Qin, only those who suffered, and never occupied a little Yiyi, was beaten by the state of Qin to the capital of three changes, moved more than a thousand miles eastward, and lost the birthplace of the state of Chu, even the king of Chu Huai was deceived by the state of Qin, threw himself into the net, and died in a foreign land, so the hatred of the people of Chu for the state of Qin is really not a little bit, and the enmity of Palestinians and Israelis in later generations is not much. In another time and space, after the state of Chu was destroyed by the state of Qin, he also shouted the slogan "Although Chu has three households, if you destroy Qin, you will be Chu".

Although there are also many pro-Qin powerful clans in Chu State, such as Zhao, Qu, and Jing, they all advocate friendship with Qin, but they dare not put it forward in a blatant manner, so no one dares to oppose the matter of alliing with Daijun to resist Qin, at least on the surface, a few years ago, the pro-Qin Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans could only use the power of Daijun to unite with Chu Qi, which was to use the power of Chu Qi to resist Qin and protect themselves, not for the benefit of Chu, and oppose an alliance with Daijun.

However, after the Battle of Daliang and the Battle of Dai Qin, it was confirmed that Dai Jun was fully equipped to resist Qin, and the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans did not have enough reason to dissuade the King of Chu from taking responsibility and refused to form the Triple Alliance. Coupled with the efforts of the Xiang family, Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang, as representatives of Daijun, were also warmly received by the king of Chu after they came to Chu.

However, when it was mentioned that the alliance would be raised to a joint column and jointly send troops to attack Qin, the king of Chu was still a little hesitant, he was not against sending troops to attack Qin, after all, the king of Chu also hoped to recover the old capital of Chu and rejuvenate Chu. However, the joint longitudinal expedition against Qin is also a major event, and the Chu State has actively participated in the successive joint expeditions against Qin, and once served as the chief of the joint longitudinal war. However, the effect of the joint column attack on Qin was not ideal, because the countries involved in the joint column had their own ghosts, and some of them pulled their hind legs, and the state of Chu not only did not reap any benefits when he became the commander of the joint column, but also suffered a lot of losses, not only to pay a large amount of military expenses, but also to encounter strong retaliation from the Qin state. It was not until the birth of Xinling Jun that he organized two joint expeditions against Qin that he achieved victory. However, those two times were Xinling Jun's personal prestige and ability, and there was nothing wrong with Chu State.

Therefore, the king of Chu is still a little undecided about forming a joint expedition against Qin again, mainly because he is afraid of suffering another loss, after all, the current Chu State can not withstand the demolition. The Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans strongly advised the king of Chu not to take the decision lightly on the grounds that the Qi state had not yet agreed to join the alliance.

Of course, such an opinion is not unreasonable, because there is no direct territorial border between Dai and Chu, and it must be communicated through the state of Qi, so if the state of Qi refuses to join the joint column, then only the two sides of the Dai and Chu sides will have no substantive meaning.

Therefore, the king of Chu should summon the envoys of the two countries on behalf of Qi, saying that as long as Qi agrees to join the alliance, then the state of Chu is also willing to join, but if the state of Qi does not express its position or refuses to join the alliance, then the state of Chu will not join the alliance. As for the responsible attitude of the king of Chu, the Xiang clan, who promoted the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, had no objection to this. Instead, the king of Chu was responsible for sending envoys to the state of Qi again, striving to get the consent of the state of Qi and form a joint column.

However, the king of Chu was still very polite to the envoys of the two countries, not only leaving the state of Chu with grand etiquette, but also giving them many gifts.

The group returned to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and at this time, Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang received news from Daijun and learned that Gao Yuan planned to be king, so now the task of the two is to let Qi and Chu recognize Gao Yuan as king, and form a triple alliance to join forces, so they can only let go first.

So Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang first consulted with Xiang Dong, the envoy of the Chu State, and Xiang Dong had no objection to Gao Yuan being called king, and he thought that Gao Yuan should have been called king a long time ago. At the same time, he also said that he would go back to Chu immediately, persuade the king of Chu to take responsibility, and send an envoy to Lingshou to celebrate the plateau as king.

In the Chu State, there is not much opposition to the move of the plateau to be the king, first, because the culture of the Chu State is somewhat different from the culture of other countries, and it is less affected by tradition, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State has already been called the king, so the plateau is called the king, in the eyes of the King of Chu, there is nothing wrong with it; The second is that now the state of Chu is asking for the plateau, after all, only the plateau has the ability to resist the Qin army, and the state of Chu does not want to offend the plateau in terms of these false courtesies.

The king of Chu immediately decided to send Xiang Dong and Xiang Liang brothers as envoys, carrying national letters, organizing missions, sending envoys to Lingshou, celebrating the crown of the plateau, and also prepared a large number of valuable gifts. In addition, he also ordered the small vassal states of Chu to send envoys to travel with the envoys of Chu.

In the past few years, a lot of paper, books and other commodities from Daijun have also flowed into the Chu market, which has attracted the attention of Chu merchants, and there are also some Chu people who are interested in the legendary experience of the plateau, and they all want to take the opportunity of the plateau to be the king to Lingshou. Therefore, many powerful people of the Chu State asked to join the mission and go to Lingshou to observe the ceremony.

However, to hold these ceremonies of claiming the throne and enthronement, the more people present to watch the ceremony, of course, the better, so Xiang Dong and Xiang Liang brothers did not refuse, and it only took more than a month to form a huge delegation of more than 1,000 people.
