Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 927 Divide the world equally
The next day, Fan Li, who was ordered in danger, boarded a carriage and went to Chaoge City where the princes of the coalition army were located.

Since the countries basically left empty countries, all the elite teachers came here.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, the princes of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan have all gathered together to discuss major issues.

According to Qing Ji's instructions, Fan Li planned to cede half of the land of the old Zhao to the five kingdoms.

It's a pity that the monarchs and ministers of the Five Kingdoms are not stupid.

learn from mistakes.

They could all guess Wu Guo's sinister intentions.

"Fan Zi, please go back and tell the king of Wu. How can the mere half of Zhao's land satisfy my appetite?"

"Not only the land of old Zhao, but also Hedong, Shangdang, Yingchuan, Sanchuan, and all the territory of the Central Plains east of Hangu Pass and north of Taolinsai, you Wu Kingdom must cede one by one. Otherwise, this battle is inevitable! "

"Exactly!"

Faced with Fan Li's proposal, the feudal lords only thought that Qingji was afraid and timid, so they sent Fan Li to Chaoge to negotiate, intending to settle the matter for peace.

And this just fueled the arrogance of the princes.

They all sneered and ridiculed, obviously not in the mood for peace talks.

Seeing this, Fan Li just bowed to the princes present, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I, Great Wu, have never been afraid of challenges."

"This time, Fan Li came here by the king's order, and that's all I can say. If the other countries want to fight, Wu will accompany them to the end!"

"Farewell!"

After saying this, Fan Li turned and left.

However, he didn't leave Chaoge City immediately, but took advantage of the nightfall to come to the Xingyuan where King Lu Ren of Qi was.

When Fan Li met Lu Ren, there were still two strange faces sitting beside the latter.

After Lu Ren's introduction, Fan Li learned that these two people were the left minister Tian Heng of Qi State, and the right minister Kan Zhi.

"I don't know why Fan Zi came here to meet the widow?"

Lu Ren asked with great interest.

"King Qi, Wu and Qi are originally a country of marriage, a country of alliance. Since the time of the first king of Qi, Duke Jing, Wu Qi has been close to each other. There has been no war for many years."

Fan Li said slowly: "The Qi State is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It enjoys the benefits of fish and salt, rich land, prosperous business, and the most outstanding population and military strength in the world."

"The state of Qi has the foundation of being king and hegemony. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi united nine princes, ruled the world, and became the hegemon at the beginning. This is a clear proof."

"Why is it as strong as the former king of Qi State, Duke Jing, and can't restore the hegemony of the ancestors, truly subdue the princes, and make the emperor an uncle?"

Qi Jinggong is Qingji's father-in-law and Lu Ren's grandfather.

When Qi Jinggong was alive, there were many wars with Wu Guo, but in the final analysis, they finally reconciled as before.

Qi Jinggong has never been a hero in his life, and he is definitely not a wise king. He can only be said to be a "master of success".

When he was alive, he was not guaranteed at the end of the year. In his later years, he was cheated twice by Qingji and became the "overlord of princes" twice. As a result, without exception, he was severely injured, and the Wu Kingdom was cheapened in vain.

This is probably the sore spot in everyone's heart.

During Qi Jinggong's time, Qi State had at least two chances to dominate the world, but it's a pity that the people of Qi failed to seize the opportunity and made Wu State even bigger.

"Fanzi, what exactly do you want to say?"

Lu Ren frowned and asked.

"King Qi, in this time of great strife, whether you are a prince or a commoner, anyone who has blood must have the will to fight!"

Fan Li said with emotion: "In today's world, Wu is the only one family. However, the national strength of Qi is second only to Wu."

"My king doesn't have much ambition in his twilight years. He just wants to enjoy his old age in peace, manage the mountains and rivers of the Wu Kingdom well, and make the people of the country return to their hearts. Great Wu ushered in a prosperous age."

"Nevertheless, Han, Zhao, and Wei Jin were aggressive. First they destroyed Zheng, and then called on the princes of the world to plunder our Wu land. The soldiers came to Hangu Pass, with the intention of destroying Wu."

"In desperation, my king had no choice but to rise up and resist, and defeated the three Jins one by one, only destroying their vigor, but not their country's heart."

Hearing this, before Lu Ren could speak, Kan Zhi sneered and said, "Fan Zi, what you said can only deceive Huangkou children."

"The elite divisions of Han and Wei were all lost, and most of the cities and lands were lost, and the country was almost destroyed. Not long ago, Zhao State was destroyed by your Wu State, and there was nothing left!"

"If King Wu just wanted to coax the Three Jins and deter the princes, why did he go so far?"

Fan Li shook his head and said, "Mr. Kan's words are wrong. It's not my king's wish to destroy Zhao, but I followed the trend."

"It's a good one to follow the trend!"

Kan Zhi snorted and said, "Fan Zi, according to what you said, if the countries don't join forces to attack Wu in order to protect themselves, in the future you Wu will 'follow the trend' and annex other countries, making the whole world belong to you Wu. At that time, wouldn’t it be too late for my king to regret it?”

"Kan Xiang, you are trying to make excuses."

"Fan Zi is probably talking nonsense."

Seeing Kan Zhi's resolute anti-Wu attitude, Fan Li narrowed his eyes slowly, bowed to Lu Ren who was sitting on the throne, and said earnestly: "King Qi, to be honest, my king's long-cherished wish , It is indeed to unify the world and make the four seas belong to one family."

"However, my king is extremely poor and can't do it all his life. My king has been in power for 30 years. He has made great efforts to govern and forge ahead. He has completed the achievements of several generations. His martial arts and martial arts are far inferior to Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu. also."

"My king's achievements are enough to go down in history, to be admired by future generations, and to be immortal. Compared with my king, what achievements do you have now, King Qi?"

"In today's world, Qi's national strength is second only to Wu's."

"My king has no intention of continuing to go east, so I invite the king of Qi to proclaim the emperor together and divide the world equally."

"Proclaim the emperor? Divide the world equally?"

Lu Ren became interested for a while, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Fanzi, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

There was a smile on the corner of Fan Li's mouth, and he said: "From Shun farming, farming, pottering and fishing to the emperor, everything is taken from others. The emperor is where the world is suitable. The king is where the world is going."

"In the past, Emperor Yao was clever in writing and thinking, and he lived in the world. He talked about the sky without thinking, forgot about things and himself, was fair and far-reaching, and judged the essence of things, so he is called the emperor."

"The way of the five emperors is the same as this, and they can also judge the truth, so they are named!"

"Now that the state of Qi is in the east, it should be named 'East Emperor', and the state of Wu is in the west, and it should be named 'Xidi'."

"Wouldn't it be beautiful for the Eastern Emperor and the Western Emperor to divide the world and govern the nations with the great river as the boundary?"

Hearing this, including Lu Ren, Tian Heng and Kan Zhi beside him couldn't help but widen their eyes and were shocked.

Dongdi?Xidi?
Divide the world equally?

This is Lu Ren's greatest pursuit.

With his ability and reputation, he can become king together with the feudal lords, or follow the trend. Do you dare to expect to be emperor?
"A widow... can a widow really be able to conquer the extreme and proclaim himself emperor?"

Lu Ren's eyes were very hot, obviously his heart was moved.
