On hearing this, the bearded man suddenly snorted, "fifteen years ago, the state of Chu attacked Dayi. It's not so much the state of Chu protecting Dayi as it's our Dayi paying tribute to you every year to avoid being infringed by the state of Chu. This is an unequal treaty. Dayi was never afraid of the neighboring small countries, and did not need Chu to send troops to protect it. Today, I come to negotiate with you, the state of Chu! It is a humiliation for the people of Dayi to pay tribute to the state of Chu. If you have talent to solve this problem, Dayi will continue to pay tribute; If not, please withdraw the troops stationed in Dayi, cancel our vassal and tribute, and give Dayi peace. "

Luoxihu is a native of Dayi. He is used to speaking rudely at ordinary times, which is quite elegant.

He would like to say that the tribute in exchange for protection is clearly the protection fee paid by Dayi to the state of Chu to protect the state of Chu from attacking Dayi.

After all, weak countries have no diplomacy.

However, in recent years, the new king of Dayi made great efforts to govern, trained his troops, and gradually strengthened his national strength. On the contrary, under the leadership of Chu Yao, Chu's national strength gradually declined, and even the neighboring Tiansheng kingdom could hardly beat it.

If it had not been for the presence of Chu xuanchen, the God of war, Chu would have been eaten by Tiansheng.

The state of Chu is now under the eye of Tiansheng. After emperor Hongyuan succeeded to the throne, the national strength of the state of Chu gradually weakened and the State Treasury was empty.

They all came from nomadic origin. They like eating meat. They are born with good physical quality. They are always brave and good at fighting. They are born with fierce fighting power. Now they are not afraid of Chu at all.

Therefore, they did not want to be "protected" by the state of Chu, let alone pay tribute to the state of Chu.

But fifteen years ago, the old king of Dayi and the former Emperor Qingyun of Chu signed a 50 year tribute agreement.

At that time, the people of Dayi were poor and weak, the old king was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the state of Chu was powerful. A small country like Dayi did not dare to provoke the state of Chu, so it was forced to sign this unequal treaty.

Not only did the state make Chu garrison soldiers, but it was threatened all the time. It also paid tribute to Chu every year for fur, cattle, sheep, silk, yew trees, horses and other things.

Later, the young king took over the throne. He was brave and resourceful. He worked hard to develop his economy and military for ten years. Now Dayi is the overlord in the northwest. Even the small countries around him are afraid of them.

They became stronger, but the state of Chu became weaker after emperor Hongyuan succeeded. So, of course, they did not want to pay tribute in a low voice.

But he did not dare to tear up the treaty directly, for fear that others would say that his Dayi state was not trustworthy, so he thought of such a difficult way to make Chu withdraw from the garrison, and no longer pay tribute to Chu.

"It's really a joke. It's a treaty signed by the two countries. How can you tear it up just because of you?" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.

Now that Chu's national strength is weak, even a small country like Dayi dare to be arrogant in front of him.

That beard scornfully glanced at emperor Hongyuan and said, "the treaty that Dayi country signed with emperor Qingyun didn't sign with your majesty. Since emperor Qingyun has died, after so many years, there is no need to continue this contract."

"Emperor Qingyun is the former Emperor of the state of Chu, representing the state of Chu. The treaty you signed with him is equivalent to the treaty you signed with the state of Chu. How can you divide him and the state of Chu into two? After all, it's because you don't believe in Dayi and don't want to pay tribute that you find such an excuse. The people of Chu have always abided by credit and will never do anything like this Emperor Hongyuan said in a deep voice.
