I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 285 The king’s thoughts are too simple
As mentioned above, when the King of Chu decided to do something, it was the resurrection of his father, the King of the Communist Party of Chu, and there was nothing that could be done to stop him.
Therefore, the King of Chu had obviously made up his mind about passing the throne to Prince Qiji. Even if Li Ran tried to persuade him, it would be of no avail.
And what about Li Ran?
He was still unwilling to do anything about this matter. In his opinion, with Prince Qiji's current sinister character, it was obvious that he would never be able to become a wise king in the future.
Therefore, it would be difficult for them to reach an agreement on this matter when both of them were stubborn and stubborn.
…
A few days later, the Shen Di meeting arrived as scheduled.
On the way to the meeting place, Prince Qiji, who was accompanying King Chu, once again advised his brother Wang:
"Brother Wang, we came to report from the frontline scouts, saying that at the time of the alliance meeting, Zhongli still has a large amount of supplies entering Zhongli via Xu State!"
"I think Xu State is just a small barbarian country, but its geographical location is close to the coast, which is beyond the reach of Chu State."
"Now Xu State relies on its own geographical advantage and does not respect Chu's orders. It still secretly gives up the carriage road to facilitate Qingfeng and Lu Song and other countries. Therefore, our Chu State's war with Zhongli remains the same.
It will be so tight. Therefore, this Xu State must be punished!"
Given the geographical location of Xu State, what he said is actually true.
When King Chu heard this, he nodded immediately.
"Well, what Brother Ji said is true."
"The other countries of the Shen Di Alliance are just fine. However, the tiny Xu State dares to secretly oppose my Chu State! You are really asking for your own death!"
When Prince Qiji saw Brother Wang saying this, he knew that he had murderous intentions, so he continued:
"Brother Wang may still not know something! Xu Zi's biological mother is still a woman from Wu State!" (Xu Zi: King of Xu State)
"So, since Qingfeng was granted the title by the State of Wu, then why should the State of Xu not help Qingfeng but help me, the State of Chu?"
It turns out that in addition to the collusion between powerful people, there is actually such a relationship between Xu Guo and Qingfeng.
King Chu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then said with a sullen look on his face:
"I see……!"
"It seems that they are determined to go against our country of Chu?!"
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
When the King of Chu heard that there was such an in-law relationship between Xu and Wu, he suddenly became angry.
Zhongli could not be conquered for a long time, and the pressure exerted by the Wu State on the Chu State was not small. In addition, the Wu State and the Xu State actually had such a relationship. The King of Chu couldn't help but regret for a moment that he did not take advantage of the battle of Chaoyi.
He won the pursuit and went straight to Xu State.
After all, if we could order an attack at that time, even if we had to pay a small price, we would be able to "rectify the chaos" in Xu State.
"Brother Wang, in my humble opinion, if you want to capture the Zhongli Kingdom as soon as possible, the best way is to detain Xu Zi in our Chu Kingdom."
"In this way, even if the Central Plains countries are still only convinced but not convinced in this Shendi meeting, after thinking about Xu Zi's mistakes, the Central Plains countries will not have the courage to help Zhongli anymore!"
"Furthermore, with the king of Xu State in hand, we can use this as a pledge to ask Xu State to cut off contact with Zhongli State. Once Zhongli loses the help of the Central Plains countries, it will be a matter of time before Zhongli is captured by Chu State.
.”
In order to defeat Zhongli, Wang Zi Qiji's method can be regarded as a method.
After all, in their opinion, if they want to completely cut off the aid from the Central Plains countries to Zhongli, it is difficult to have much effect just relying on this so-called wrangling alliance.
As mentioned before, this alliance is just a formality in the final analysis.
Everyone is invited to come and go through a formality. Is the content of the alliance really important enough for all countries to keep in mind? Obviously not.
Not only the participating countries were well aware of this, but even the Chu State itself was well aware of this.
Even if at the alliance meeting, all the countries swornly recognized Chu's statement to help Qi capture the traitors, but after returning, who can guarantee that they will not intensify their efforts to secretly provide assistance?
Therefore, Prince Qiji wanted to suddenly attack this time and give the vassal states a decisive blow. As far as the Chu State defeated Zhongli State and captured Qingfeng alive, it should have some effect.
The King of Chu felt that what Prince Qiji said was not unreasonable. Since Xu Zi was already here, he should not be in a hurry to go back. It would not be too late to let him go back after our Chu country captured Zhongli country.
This is not the first time that Chu King Xiong Wei has done this kind of thing.
At the meeting in Guodi, when he was still the magistrate of Chu State, he detained Sun Bao, the chief minister of Lu State.
Therefore, he, the King of Chu, was very familiar with doing these things.
However, before doing this, he still asked Wu Ju next to him for his opinion as usual.
After all, the last time he detained Shu Sunbao, it was Wu Ju who gave him the idea.
But this time, Wu Ju's answer did not disappoint him, but was incisive in another way:
"Back to your Majesty, among the countries in the Central Plains, Jin and Qi are not here, and the Lu State has no excuse to defend the country. This is definitely not a good thing for our Chu State."
"I believe that on the one hand, we must treat all the countries present at the meeting with courtesy, but at the same time, we must also demonstrate the power of our country of Chu and make the princes of all countries feel in awe. Only in this way can the countries of the Central Plains treat us in the future.
Be courteous!"
Of course I, Wu Ju, know what your King Chu wants to do.
I am such a good minister, a trustworthy "loyal minister"! I always know what your Majesty wants to hear.
In fact, does Wu Ju really agree with Wang Zi's method of abandoning Ji?
What exactly does he mean by this?
This is Wu Ju’s wisdom!
How could someone as smart as him not know that Prince Qiji's plan was a huge trap?
If the King of Chu really did this, wouldn't it directly demonstrate his King Chu's "domineering and unruly" in front of the princes?
As the King of Chu, you have simply detained the king of a country. Does this sound like you are preparing to speak properly?
The princes of the Central Plains are not stupid. Of course they can express their fear to you, King Chu, here, but what if they leave?
Therefore, when Wu Ju heard what Wang Zi Qiji said, he immediately reacted. It was clear that a sinkhole had been dug.

That's why he said what he just said.
When treating each other with courtesy, it is natural to show force, but force is force, and in the final analysis, it must return to "propriety".
In other words, he did not directly state whether it was possible to detain the king of Xu.
This made Prince Qiji on the side a little unhappy. He frowned and looked at Wu Ju, and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, King Chu spoke first.
Just listen to the gloomy words of King Chu:
"I have been polite enough to them. Since they are so ignorant, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Walk!"
After the words fell, King Chu strode towards the venue.
