Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 78

Chapter 78: The King of Chu compromised

Same as Deng Sheng's situation, after Zuo Sheng left, the King of Qi also summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. Everyone agreed that the Qi State could no longer fight, and even if it finally won, Qi State would not get half a point. The benefits will only consume national power in vain.

In the Peicheng Posthouse, Zuo Sheng had just returned from visiting the King of Qi. His attendant Zuo Zhong poured a cup of tea for Zuo Sheng and asked, "Sir, you are back. How is the situation?"

Zuo Sheng nodded and sat down, took the tea, took a sip, and said, "The King of Chu is very firm, but he refuses to negotiate peace. The attitudes of King Qi and King Deng are ambiguous, and I'm not sure what they think. , All in all, this matter is a bit difficult." Zuo Zhong has followed Zuo Sheng for many years, and Zuo Zhong is involved in the planning of many things in Zuo Sheng, so Zuo Sheng is not afraid to talk to him about these things.

"Then what is King Chen's attitude?" Zuo Zhong asked again.

Zuo Sheng shook his head with a smile, and said: "The attitude of King Chen is nothing more than the attitude of King Chu, King Qi, and King Deng. Besides, it doesn't matter what attitude he has, and this matter is not up to him." It's up to him to decide."

"Then sir, what should we do now? Is it Huifang and Fuming?" Zuo Zhong asked. Since the King of Chu did not agree to negotiate a peace, it seems that the only way in front of Zuo Sheng is Huifang and Fuming.

Zuo Sheng shook his head and said, "Don't rush back to Fang Yu, what we need now is to wait."

"Wait? What are you waiting for?" Zuo Zhong was puzzled. Now that the facts are in front of his eyes, the king of Chu will not agree to a peace negotiation, so why are they still staying in Peicheng?
Zuo Sheng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the streets of Peicheng where people were coming and going, and said, "Waiting for an opportunity, I went to inquire about it before I came back. Now the Wu army is attacking fiercely, and Shouchun's side is very busy." It's hard work, as long as Shouchun loses momentum, King Chu will definitely change his mind, and judging from today, King Qi and King Deng actually don't want to fight anymore, I believe there will be news soon."

Zuo Zhong nodded his head half-understood, Zuo Sheng saw this, smiled and didn't continue talking.

In the other palace in Peicheng, all the kings gathered together and asked what the king of Chu was thinking.

"King Chu, the envoys of Zhao State have come to see us today. The widow, King Deng, and King Chen came here just to hear what you think, King Chu?" King Qi went straight in and asked King Chu what he thought.

"Hmph!" The King of Chu snorted coldly: "It is impossible to negotiate a peace, and the widow will never agree. Why do they fight if they say so, and they don't fight if they don't. What is it like to be a widow?"

Deng Sheng and King Qi glanced at each other. They had already guessed such a result, but they just wanted to confirm their thoughts.

Deng Sheng drank a glass of wine and said to the King of Chu: "King Chu, there is no need to do this. Talking about it is not harmful. As long as we can get what we want, it doesn't matter."

"That's right, what King Deng said is right, let's talk first, if we can't reach an agreement, it's never too late to fight." King Qi smiled and nodded, agreeing with Deng Sheng's opinion.

King Chu looked at Deng Sheng and King Qi coldly, and now he finally understood that these two guys came to force him to negotiate peace, and they didn't want to fight anymore.

"Hmph, King Qi and King Deng mean to let the widow agree to negotiate a peace? So the widow, Da Chu, has so many sons died in vain?" The king of Chu was dissatisfied.

"Hehe!" King Qi smiled and said, "King Chu, this time you, Chu State, have captured most of Taishan County and Lu County, and you have gained enough. On the other hand, Da Qi, who is a widow, really has nothing. Didn’t the widow also say nothing?” King Qi’s meaning is obvious, you have all benefited from this war, but Qi has nothing, so I will not accompany you to fight.

"As long as we continue to fight, the enemy will be defeated, and Qi will also get the territory of Song." King Chu said, didn't you say that Qi is not good?Well, as long as you can continue to fight with Qi, I will help you destroy Song. Although Song has only one Jibei County, it is richer than Taishan County and Lu County. Will be able to go to the next level.

"The State of Song is a buffer between Daqi and the Central Plains. Did the King of Chu think that King Wei and King Zhao would just watch Daqi destroy Song?" King Qi asked back. Everyone knew that Lu and Song were Wei. And Zhao Guo was the shield that prevented Qi and Chu from marching into the Central Plains. Now that Lu State is gone, how can Wei and Zhao let Song State be destroyed by Qi State? As long as Qi State dares to touch Song State, Wei State and Zhao State The country dared to continue to increase its troops and risk its life with Qi.

The King of Chu was speechless, but looked at Deng Sheng, and said, "Did King Deng think so too? You must know that Deng Guo destroyed South Korea and took the land of Yingchuan while the other countries were fighting in the Central Plains." , if Zhao Wei is not completely defeated, I am afraid that the land of Yingchuan will not be safe."

The implication of King Chu's words is that Qi State did not get any benefits, but you, Deng State, actually won Yingchuan. South Korea is Wei State's barrier in the south, and it will not give up so easily.

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "I also know what the king of Chu said, but as long as I return to Wancheng, I will not be afraid of Wei Guo. Besides, if I sit in Wancheng, I can use far more resources than I have in the Central Plains." I am strong, and I still have the confidence to fight Wei Guo alone." Deng Sheng said proudly, I am not afraid of Wei Guo.

"Uh..." King Chu was speechless again. Indeed, with Deng Guo's current strength, if he fought Wei Guo one-on-one, although it might be difficult, it was not impossible. After all, Deng Guo But a country that is good at creating miracles, when it was weak, beat the mighty Han country into a dog, which directly dropped the strength of the Han country. Although it was a bit of a trick and a bit of luck, but if you win, you win. It could be done back then, not to mention Deng Guo now.

"Actually, the reason why the widow and the king of Qi persuaded the king of Chu to stop the war is not just for our own sake, but more for the sake of the state of Chu." Deng Sheng said again.

"Hmph, the widow should thank Deng Wang and Qi Wang? But I really can't think of where the two are thinking about the widow and Da Chu." Chu Wang said with a dissatisfied face.

Deng Sheng smiled, ignored King Chu's dissatisfaction, and said: "King Chu, if I guessed correctly, the State of Wu has already increased its troops for longevity, right?" Soon, otherwise he would not have come to persuade the king of Chu to stop fighting.

The king of Chu nodded, his face became even more ugly, and he thought: If it weren't for the bastard of Wu who took advantage of the fire to rob, would the widow need to be so passive?
Deng Sheng said again: "King of Chu, even if we continue to fight in the Central Plains, the battle in the Central Plains may not be easy to tell if it takes a few years, but if it drags on for a few years, then by that time, Jiujiang County will still be Chu. It’s really hard to say about the country, and since the state of Chu destroyed the state of Lu, the counties of Lu and Taishan have not been very stable, which has greatly restrained the power of the state of Chu. Forcibly starting a war, it is better to temporarily truce, and after the Chu State solves the troubles of Wu State, Lu County, and Taishan County, it will not be too late to fight the Central Plains."

The king of Chu was a little moved. Deng Sheng's words were in his heart. In fact, the situation in Shouchun was more serious than Deng Sheng imagined. The momentum can't be stopped, but for the stability of the alliance, the King of Chu has been hiding it all the time.

"Alas..." After a long time, the King of Chu sighed, and said: "Since that's the case, let's listen to King Qi and King Deng over there. This time, it's a good deal for Zhao and Wei. Let them look good next time."

When Deng Sheng and King Qi saw it, they were overjoyed, and thought: It's done.

Zuo Sheng in the post house was overjoyed when he learned that the king of Chu agreed to negotiate peace. He originally thought that the king of Chu would let go when the news of Shouchun's fall came. Unexpectedly, Deng Sheng and King Qi went to Peicheng After the other palace, the king of Chu agreed, and Zuo Sheng hurried to the other palace.
