"I'm not afraid to tell you that Qi has offered a huge price for Lu's territory!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

Qi and Lu Qi and Lu, Qi naturally wanted to obtain the territory of Lu and complete the name of Qi and Lu, but the once powerful Qi did not attack Lu because it was a buffer zone between Qi and Chu. Later, it lost its ability and could only watch Chu destroy Lu.

Now Qi was ecstatic, as it could actually use money to hire the strongest thugs in history to take over the thirty-six cities of Lu.

As for whether Qi can control the thirty-six cities of Lu, that is impossible.

As long as the history books acknowledged that they hired the strongest thugs to buy the thirty-six cities of Lu, King Jian of Qi would be able to comfort his ancestors at the ancestral temple of Qi and say that he was a king who expanded the territory.

Regardless of whether the historian was willing to admit it or not, King Jian of Qi had captured the thirty-six cities of Lu, and he had to honestly record this important event in the history books.

In other words, whether you admit it or not, whether I can manage these thirty-six cities, just tell me whether I have taken over these thirty-six cities!
"Will Qin agree?" Ji Bu frowned.

Even if Qi wants it, it depends on whether Qin is willing to agree!
"The Qin State agreed!" Yan Yan blinked.

“???” Ji Bu was even more shocked.

Why did Qin agree to Qi's occupation of the thirty-six cities of Lu?

"Because Qin can't swallow up the entire Chu State directly now, so why are they unwilling?"

Ji Bu understood.

The Qin State had just destroyed the Wei State, and it was difficult to find so many officials to take over the governance of the Chu State in a short period of time, so it had to give up the 36 cities of the Lu State to the Qi State.

Just like the case of using the excuse of destroying Guo as a pretext, the BMW and beautiful jade were only temporarily placed in Yu State. After destroying Guo State, Jin State would destroy Yu State as well, and the BMW and precious jade that had been given away would also return to the hands of Jin State.

Now that Qin cannot swallow up the entire Chu State, it temporarily places the thirty-six cities of Lu State in Qi State. When it has time in the future, Qin can also take back these thirty-six cities.

As for whether the State of Qi understands this principle?
Of course I understand, but that will be many years later. Why not take it if you can get it?

Who can predict what will happen in the future?

"So, the State of Qin will also send a large army to join the war?" Ji Bu looked at Yan Yan and asked.

They never thought that they would face not only Bingzhou and the navy, but also Qin State, which was their biggest threat.

"I'm very curious, you have never thought that we would take action, and you have never thought that Qin would also take action?" Yan Yan really couldn't figure out what the Chu State was thinking.

Without backup, how dare Bingzhou march deep into the State of Chu alone?

"We..." Ji Bu was silent. They really hadn't thought about it.

In other words, King Chu had thought of it, but unfortunately, before he could make any arrangements, he was assassinated by Li Yuan and others.

King Wan of Chu had expected this result, so he urgently dispatched the Kuaiji navy to the north to stop the Wei Ju navy and the Bingzhou blood cavalry from crossing the sea to fight, and he also urgently ordered Changping Jun Xiong Qi to return to his country to supervise the country.

Because Changping Jun Xiong Qi had been operating in Qin for many years, he was very familiar with the situation in Qin and had sufficient ability to help Chu resist the attack of the Qin army.

It was a pity that he had neither the time nor the opportunity to pass his orders outside the palace, and could not wait for Xiong Qi to return.

Perhaps King Wan of Chu would die with regret if he knew that Li Yuan and others did not mobilize the navy to the north to stop Wei Ju's navy and Bingzhou's Blood Cavalry.

"..." Yan Yan's eyes widened in shock. Has the entire Chu State become so incompetent?
He knew that Chu was corrupt, but at least King Wan and Huang Xie were very capable and talented. He didn't expect that the entire Chu State was really supported by these two people, and the others were really incompetent to this extent. "Whether I take action or not, Chu State is finished!" Yan Yan shook his head uninterested.

Such an opponent is too boring. There is no need for Li Ren and I to take action, and the State of Chu will be destroyed.

"Don't tell me that your Chu State doesn't even have a general who can command the entire army!" Yan Yan asked the key question again.

Whenever there is a national war, a general who can command the three armies will be selected to coordinate the overall situation. This is a rule.

“……” Ji Bu was silent.

After the Shouchun coup, the court was still undergoing a major reshuffle and fighting among itself. How could there be time to select a general who could command the three armies?
What's more, during the Shouchun coup, Shouchun himself was suspicious of the three military commanders. How could he find a commander who would be recognized and submitted to by the three armies?
Maybe there are, for example, any one of the patriarchs of Qu Jingzhao’s three clans has this ability.

But now, these three people have been killed by Bingzhou, and their heads are hung in the Bingzhou camp as sacrifices.

"Invincible! Really invincible!" Yan Yan didn't know how to describe Shouchun and the court of Chu for a moment.

"You cheated me!" Ji Bu suddenly came to his senses and looked at Yan Yan in horror.

Yan Yan seemed to be chatting with him, but he extracted a lot of important information about the State of Chu from him. But he thought it was just a casual chat at first, and he was trying to extract information about Bingzhou from Yan Yan.

After learning about the intelligence about Bingzhou and the navy, Ji Bu's psychological defenses relaxed, and Yan Yan instead tricked him into extracting a lot of important intelligence about the Chu State.

He did obtain intelligence and strategic objectives of Bingzhou, Qin and other vassal states, but he was a prisoner now. Even if he got it, he couldn't send it out. And if he did, would Shouchun believe it?

"You just realized it?" Wei Jiu looked at Ji Bu speechlessly.

When Yan Yan started to ask questions, they all kept quiet and stopped talking. They just listened and took notes attentively.

As a result, there was no need for torture, as Ji Bu himself told the whole story of the internal situation of the Chu State.

"I..." Ji Bu looked at the roof with lifeless eyes. He felt sorry for the State of Chu. He was a sinner of the State of Chu.

Although he did not reveal the defensive deployment of the Chu army, he said a lot of more important information than that.

For example, the court of Shouchun was in chaos. Chu State did not have a general to coordinate the overall situation. Shouchun and the three major legions were suspicious of each other. The elite officers of the Bambu and Leibao Legions were dismissed. Only Xiang Liang's Tenglong Legion was fighting alone in the northern border of Chu State...

This information is far more important than the strategic deployment of the army.

News of high-level turmoil is far more terrifying than any intelligence.

Once this information falls into the hands of the Qin army commander and the military headquarters, the consequences will be far more terrible than any other information.

Once the Qin army bribed those court officials and military officers, it would be a devastating blow to the State of Chu and its army.

"Poor kid!" Yan Yan patted Ji Bu's shoulder comfortingly.

Ji Bu was not the first person to be tricked by him, nor would he be the last!
Tears silently fell from Ji Bu's eyes. He didn't want to betray the State of Chu, nor sell out the intelligence of the State of Chu. He was even prepared to be tortured by the navy and Bingzhou. However, he didn't expect that he had already sold out the State of Chu without any torture.

"Oh, I don't know how to comfort you!" Wei Ju walked past Ji Bu sympathetically and patted his shoulder.

The officers and soldiers from the navy and Bingzhou also walked past Ji Bu with sympathy and patted his shoulders comfortingly.
