Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 267
In the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, the monarchs of viscount countries such as Wu, Chu, Xu, and Zhong Wu belonged to the barbarian leaders.

What they look down on is not that the viscount country's title is too low, but that the place where it is located is a barbarian place!

Judging from their origins, the state of Chu is the descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, the state of Wu is the descendant of Taibo, and the state of Xu is the descendant of Boyi. The only thing that is not clear is the state of Zhongwu...

It is worth mentioning that Xu State was originally a marquis. During the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Western Zhou Dynasty, Xu State had always been one of the powerful vassal states.

When Xu State was at its most powerful, it once became the suzerain state of thirty-two Fang Kingdoms, and under the leadership of King Xu Yan, it almost took down Haojing, but it was a pity that it failed. Xu State was finally defeated by Zhou Tianzi and reduced to a Viscount State.

At this time, Xu State was already weak, because the rise of Wu State and the eastward expansion of Chu State over the years continued to encroach on Xu State's cities and lands, and Xu State was forced to become a vassal state from Wu to Chu.

"King Wu, my lord respects you!"

"Please!"

On the Square Terrace of Stone Mountain, Qingji sat in the main seat, while Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun sat on both sides, drinking and chatting with each other, having a good time.

In the open space not far away, there is also a graceful dancer, who is dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo, dancing her waist and swaying her sleeves, looking very attractive.

The state of Wu loves the beauty of plumpness, so the dancers brought by Qingji all have uneven figures, which have a special flavor.

After a few drinks, Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun both looked slightly drunk, and looked at the dancers under the stage with confused expressions, a little out of control.

Food color, sex too!
Qingji didn't care about the appearance of the two monarchs.

The wine of this era belongs to rice wine, the alcohol content is too low, not as good as modern beer, so Qingji can keep a thousand cups without getting drunk, the most is that he drinks too much and urinates frequently.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was almost perfect, Qingji pretended to be drunk, glanced at the monarchs sitting on both sides, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhongwu, a major event happened in Chu recently. Do you know?"

"I don't know what's the big deal?"

Both Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun asked in confusion.

It seems that I really don't know.

No wonder they are so ignorant!
The weak national power and the pattern of survival between the cracks can no longer make them look at the world, and they can only dominate on their own one-acre three-point land.

Qingji said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, Marquis Cai went to Yingdu to pay homage to the King of Chu. Unexpectedly, he asked for leather clothes and jade pendants for Yin Nangwa. Marquis Cai refused, so he was detained in Yingdu. He has never been released so far."

"what?"

"There is such a thing!"

Both Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun couldn't help changing their colors, and then they became furious and cursed: "Chu, what a barbarian!"

"Is it reasonable to openly detain the king who worships?"

"Scandal, it is really a rare scandal in the world!"

"Fortunately, Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo changed course and changed their ways, abandoning darkness and surrendering to the banner of King Wu. If not, I don't know if we will end up like Marquis Cai!"

It has to be said that the matter of the state of Chu detaining Marquis Cai is really absurd.

In any case, Cai State is a vassal state of Chu State, and Cai Hou was detained in Yingdu for no reason as a younger brother to worship the King of Chu. ?
"The widow is also indignant!"

Qingji pretended to be filled with righteous indignation, and put the wine jue in his hand on the case with a "snap", and then said: "I sympathize with what happened to Marquis Cai, so I am going to send my troops to attack Chu, so as to force the people of Chu to let go." Return to Marquis Cai, justice for Marquis Cai!"

"Ru Xu Country, Zhongwu Country, would you like to go there?"

Hearing this, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became awkward.

As the younger brothers of the Chu State, Xu Jun Ying Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun, how can they not understand the strength of the Chu State?
Although Wu State is an emerging military power, its background is not as good as that of Chu State.

In the past, Wu and Chu fought fiercely around the small bordering countries of Zhongli, Chao, Shu, Zhoulai and so on.

Moreover, in the decades-long war, almost without exception, these small countries were divided up by Wu Chu.

How can Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo follow in their footsteps?
It is true that they are willing to join Wu and become Qingji's younger brother, and they also know that a war between Wu and Chu is inevitable.

However, Xu Jun Ying Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun only thought that they could stay out of the matter as before and watch the fire from the other side. No matter how bad they were, they were just expressing their attitude and shouting for Wu Guo behind their backs.

Who would have thought that Qingji would now let Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo stand in line to attack Chu together?
This is putting Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo on the fire!

After defeating Chu successfully, they won't get much advantage, not to mention, the annoyed Chu country can't deal with Wu country, can't they handle the weak Xu country and Zhong Wu country?
Therefore, regardless of success or failure, Xu Guo and Zhong Wu Guo, who followed Wu Guo to attack Chu, must have the possibility of being smashed to the ground by the Chu people.

Xu Junying, Zhang Yu and Zhong Wujun looked at each other, and they all showed a look of helplessness.

Ying Zhangyu hesitated for a moment, and first sighed: "King Wu, it's not that the widowed king is unwilling to send troops to help, but my country Xu, a small country with few people, can't sustain it."

"Even if we join forces with Wu to attack Chu, it will be difficult to provide much help!"

"Exactly!"

Mr. Zhong Wu hurriedly echoed: "King Wu, what Mr. Xu said is very true. I, Zhong Wu, have a weak national strength, and I can't stand the consumption of the war!"

"If the king of Wu conquers Chu, our country can fund the military supplies and supplies, and then send troops... Maybe the heart is more than enough but the strength is not enough."

These are all excuses!

Prevarication words!

Qingji's heart is like a bright mirror, but it's hard to point it out directly.

"Five thousand! The widow only needs five thousand soldiers and horses from each of Xu and Zhongwu."

"This……"

Ying Zhangyu smacked his tongue and said: "King Wu, the five thousand troops are almost all the soldiers that can be fought in our two countries. If all go out to fight and the enemy country invades, what should we do?"

Both Xu State and Zhongwu State are small countries with few people. The usual standing army is only [-] people, and [-] people are almost all the soldiers that can fight!

Isn't Qingji emptying out their old bottom?

"You can promise that if any enemy country dares to invade any of your countries, it will be an enemy of you and the country of Wu, and Wu will attack it!"

Qingji waved his hand and said domineeringly.

He's not talking big.

Neighboring Xu State and Zhongwu State, apart from Wu and Chu, there are also two small countries, Tan State and Xue State, whose national power is exactly the same as the two countries, and the Wu army can be wiped out in a snap of fingers!
Qingji's self-confidence stems from the confidence given by Wu Guo's powerful strength!
Qingji said again: "Furthermore, my country of Wu will send troops to station on the side of the capitals of Ru and other countries. Two thousand sharp soldiers for one country are enough!"
