I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 611

Outside Yingdu, the war is still going on.

The land full of blood and fire is full of murderous gas boiling at night.

The attack of Jin and Qi was like a raging tide, and the Allied forces guarded like a dam blocking the sea.

The raging tide is fierce. Each round of offensive can always cut off part of the dam and water a piece of red land in the blood.

The dam is also unwilling to be outdone. Every time a wave strikes, it always leaves part of the torrent permanently so that it cannot return.

Seeing the increasing casualties, the faces of the kings of the 14 countries gradually turned white in the air.

Finally, the king of the state of Hu couldn't bear it and took the lead in saying, "if you fight again, the losses will be heavy. Let's talk peace with Jin and Qi!"

"Good!"

As soon as this statement was made, all kings echoed it one after another.

For these small monarchs, it is an impressive record to fight to such an extent.

The best result is to force peace by war, retreat from a big country, strengthen the army, shock the world, and divide up the state of Chu.

Both desire fame and fortune, but also look forward and take chances.

This is the mob.

"Then you have to choose an ally leader to make peace talks possible!"

Gu Cheng had expected that, with a slight rise in the corners of his mouth, he turned and looked at them.

"Ally leader?"

The kings looked at each other, their eyes twinkled slightly, and said in the same voice, "of course, we are led by the crown prince of Longyang!"

"You love me!"

Gu Cheng said, "as the leader of the alliance, our country Jiang dare not accept it!"

The kings were stunned at the speech.

The founder of the alliance is Jiang state, and the one who resists Jin and Qi is Jiang state. Why not be the leader of the alliance?

Besides, if Jiang is not allowed to be the leader of the alliance, no other country has the qualification, and no other country dares!

"Don't worry, I already have a candidate!"

Gu Cheng flipped his palm, manipulated the flying boat and drilled out of the clouds. A light beam shrouded Yingdu and was falling on the crown prince in the King City.

"Crown prince Xiong Zhen, please come up for a chat!"

"Doctor!"

The faces of the kings changed slightly, and the prince of Chu below was more nervous.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Baoxu held Prince Chu's hand, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, tide over difficulties, and plan for the future!"

Now the situation in Chu is that the front door rejects the tiger and the back door enters the wolf.

Jin and Qi are tigers and the alliance of small states is a pack of wolves. They all covet the fat meat of Da Chu.

The lesser of the two evils, anyone with reason can make a judgment from the standpoint of the state of Chu.

They would rather the alliance of small nations win than Jinqi win.

The former still has hope of turning around, and the latter is complete subjugation.

"I understand!"

Prince Chu has experienced ups and downs in a short time. He is much more mature and grinds his teeth and nods.

Even if he was humiliated again, he would bear it as long as he could keep Da Chu.

Shua!

Seeing the prince of Chu turn into a light and rise into the Qingming boat, Shen Baoxu burst into tears.

Big Chu, a top power, has to compromise with a dozen small countries, and his dignity has disappeared.

"For today's plan, we can only retreat from Jin and Qi, and then ask Qin for help to chase away small countries!"

At the time of grief and anger, Shen Baoxu also began to conceive the method of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, frowning.

Qin was also a generation of tigers and wolves. Although he had the friendship of marriage with Chu, it was more to unite Chu to resist Jin.

After all, Qin and Jin bordered on each other. They were so oppressed by the world's first powerful country that they could only shrink in the Hangu pass.

The destruction of the state of Chu was indeed not in the interests of the state of Qin, but it would be naive to say that they would come to help wholeheartedly.

The fundamental reason is the interests.

"Even if you cut the land, you should lure the Qin people out of the pass and be suppressed by the state of Jin!"

"If we preach the threat of the state of Wu again, the state of Qi and the ministries of Dongyi will not spare him!"

"As for the state of Jiang, there are more than ten small countries under his command. He has great authority. Where will the emperor be placed? As long as the emperor speaks, he will fight everywhere and be justified!"

"So divide and rule, I have room for breathing!"

Shen Baoxu took a deep breath and tentatively laid down the general policy.

These things sound simple, but in fact they are easy and difficult. In the past, the great Chu dominated the South and the horse set foot in the Central Plains. There was no need to unite vertically and horizontally, but now we have to do it.

However, just then, the light of the Qingming boat hung down, and the prince of Chu returned to the palace.

Shen Baoxu hurried forward to comfort the prince of Chu, but he was stunned.

Because in a short time, the prince of Chu changed his previous depression and became elated.

This contrast surprised Shen Baoxu and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, the prince of the state of Jiang asked you to go up. Why?"

Chu Prince Xi Zizi said: "Prince Xu of the state of Jiang was the leader of the alliance. At first, the kings of all countries were unwilling to be subdued by him. The alliance was used by the orphans. The great Chu crisis can be solved!"

"The position of alliance leader?"

Shen Baoxu trembled and exclaimed, "absolutely not!"

Prince Chu was full of joy. When he heard the speech, his face suddenly sank: "why not?"

Shen Baoxu explained: "the leader of the alliance is an act of blasphemy. His power conflicts with the Lord. He cannot be granted by the son of Zhou. If his name is not correct, his words are not smooth!"

The prince of Chu disdained: "I don't follow Zhou rites. The son of heaven is just decoration!"

Shen Baoxu said bitterly, "it's different! It's different!"

At one time and another, the state of Chu was in such a difficult situation, and its national strength declined greatly. Next, it had to face the four crises. It was no longer the great Chu who announced that the princes of the Central Plains "I am barbarian".

Although the emperor of Zhou is a decoration, he is still the Lord of the world in name. Every country has tribute every year. If he wants to damage the common interests of the princes, no one wants to. But if he only targets one country, the hostile country is willing to fight at the will of the emperor.

But now more than ten countries are allied, and Chu is self styled as the leader of the alliance. What is this for?

The son of heaven is so miserable that he exists in name only. Will he be deprived of his final power?

That week, the emperor will not die!

What's more, does the position of alliance leader have any promise?

However, hegemonic status has always been won by ourselves, not given by others.

For example, Qi Huan, Jin Wen and Chu Zhuang, Qin Mu, who is not powerful and intimidating, let the prince of Zhou appoint by holding his nose, and now the prince of Chu has been forcibly promoted to the so-called position of alliance leader, instead of grilling him on the fire?

"This is Jiang's plan. It's more vicious than Sun Wu's stealing the city and subjugating the country!"

Shen Baoxu was kind-hearted and advised again and again: "Your Highness, if you should, you would not only wait as a puppet, but all the princes in the world would be eyeing our great Chu. Once the Emperor Zhou spoke, they would attack it. As soon as those small countries poured in, our great Chu couldn't cope with it!"

The states of Jiang and Wu are small countries. They cannot swallow elephants with snakes in a short time and invade the vast Chu.

But the so-called ants kill elephants. If there are more such small countries, big Chu can't resist.

Prince Chu said with a smile, "Aiqing doesn't have to worry. Gu Xin knows that Prince Jiang has no good intentions, but he also has weaknesses. The state of Jiang pursues Confucianism and Taoism and doesn't want to have a bad reputation, so he gives up the position of alliance leader. After Gu ascends the throne, he will connect Kong Qiu to Chu and spread Confucianism!"

He had long heard that Kong Qiu was a learned man. He also saw that Jiang was strong enough to compete with Jin and Qi in a short time.

The great Chu suffered a heavy blow this time. Fei Wuji and Xiang Ying died. A large number of officials changed their blood and just reused Confucian disciples.

In history, the crown prince of Chu was the king of Zhao of Chu. He appreciated Kong Qiu very much. He sealed it with a publishing house for seven hundred miles, but it was stopped by the left and right. The world got what it wanted.

The crown prince of Chu is not stupid. He has all-round considerations. As long as the state of Chu pursues Confucianism and Taoism and the state of Jiang respects him as the leader of the alliance, if he opposes it, it will violate the Confucian etiquette, law and morality. At that time, Kong Qiu was the first to refuse.

Most of the officials of the state of Jiang were born in Confucianism. Once Kong Qiu turned against him and Jiang was unhappy at home, he called on all countries to destroy it as the leader of the alliance, and he could bind himself!

Shen Baoxu wanted to persuade again, but the crown prince of Chu waved his hand and didn't want to listen: "look ahead and look back. There's nothing to do. If you don't dare to take the position of alliance leader, then my great Chu will really fall down!"

After that, he walked to the hall.

Shen Baoxu's heart sank deeply and called, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Ancestral temple!"

Prince Chu's eyes were sharp. His eyes seemed to penetrate the palace city and fell on the Jin Qi army outside the city, revealing his deep hatred: "the position of lonely alliance leader, when it deserves the name, there will be a future!"

Prince Jiang told him that the Wu army had withdrawn from the border, and the main force of the great Chu was about to rush back to the Wangdu. This was the best opportunity!

The opportunity to annihilate the Jin and Qi armies!

Only in this way can we frighten the world and let the princes and countries, especially the countries in the alliance, know that the disease tiger is particularly powerful!

Upon entering the ancestral hall, the prince of Chu knelt down in front of the ancestral tablets and kowtowed heavily:

"Please ancestors, give God of fire anger!"
