The sound of the flute came from the Qinhuai River, which was clear and long and beautiful.

But Qi Ning didn't want to feel the slutty sound at this time, stared at Chai Bozhong's eyes, and smiled and said, "As far as I know, your third prince is holding Xianyang's powerful soldiers and is about to enter Luoyang, but I don't know if he has taken Luoyang?"

Chai Bozhong also smiled and said, "The Third Prince is the true emperor of the Han Dynasty. Sooner or later, Luoyang will always be the third prince's hand. Now the two rebels are fighting each other, and the Third Prince asks them to bite each other. When they are exhausted, they will lead their troops out of Tongguan and fight to a certain extent."

"Sit down the mountain to watch the tiger fight!" Qi Ning picked up the teacup and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Military Commander Chai should follow the third prince and give advice to the third prince at any time, but why did he come to Jianye Capital from thousands of miles away? He should have suffered a lot along the way."

Chai Bozhong said: "The third prince and General Qu are full of talents, and there are many powerful generals who can fight well, and there are also many think tanks to make suggestions. If I leave, it will not affect the overall situation."

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chai doesn't have to keep it a secret. You can come here from Xianyang and don't care about your own safety. Of course, it won't be a trivial matter to find me. If you have anything to say, just say it now, maybe we won't have a chance to see you next time."

Chai Bozhong bowed and said, "The Marquis is indeed a cheerful person. It will be a matter of time before the third prince seizes Luoyang. It's just that you and I have been fighting for many years, and both sides are exhausted and damaged. If you continue to get resentment like this, the people will never have peace."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "You and I have the same view as you and I have."

Chai Bozhong's eyebrows slightly spread and said with a smile: "The third prince has great talent and strategy. He thought that once the rebellion is pacified, we should not continue fighting, but should turn wars into jade and silk to give the people a peaceful life."

"Oh?" Qi Ning took a sip and said with a smile: "The third prince has this expectation? This is actually the wish of my Great Chu. Military Secretary Chai, are you going to hand over this sentence?"

"How can you win trust from others without any words?" Chai Bozhong smiled and said, "The third prince really hopes that the two countries can live in peace, so I have brought me a generous gift."

Qi Ning looked at Chai Bozhong and then smiled and said, "Mr. Chai, but I don't know what kind of gifts you have brought? I want to remind you that there are countless rare treasures in my treasure house of Great Chu. If the gifts are too ordinary, let alone the emperor, I am afraid that even I will not look down on it."

Chai Bozhong smiled slightly and said, "No matter how stingy my great man is, he will not give things to his children's house. The Marquis should know that the nine states in the world, the Chu State occupies the three states, the Dongqi people occupy Qingzhou, but the great man occupyes the five states."

Qi Ning sighed: "If Military Advisor Chai came to compare the country with me, I really didn't have much interest."

"Mr. Marquis, don't be anxious." Chai Bozhong calmly and smiled: "The third prince is willing to give gifts to each other in a state to show sincerity!"

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly the other party actually used land as a gift. Chai Bozhong smiled and said, "As long as we have good friendships between the two countries, after the third prince ascended the throne, he would immediately hand over all the land of Xuzhou to the State of Chu."

Qi Ning naturally knew the allusions of Jiuzhou. According to legend, when Dayu controlled the flood, the world was divided into Jiuzhou, and Jiuzhou was the synonym for the world.

Qi Ning knew their respective geographical locations in the land of Jiuzhou. Xuzhou is located west of Qingzhou. Although it is not the largest state among Jiuzhou, its geographical location is extremely critical. Xuzhou is indeed in the hands of Beihan now.

"Military Chai, the third prince ceded the land of Xuzhou to me, Da Chu, but I don't know when I will be able to fulfill the contract?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "If your country is really so generous, my Lord will naturally accept it with you and will definitely live in peace with you."

Chai Bozhong said: "You can fulfill your contract now. Whenever your country needs it, you can go and pick it up at any time."

"We'll take it ourselves?" Qi Ning sighed, "I can't understand what Military Commander Chai said. Do you mean that if you want me, Da Chu, send troops to capture Xuzhou by yourself? If so, then we Da Chu can only conquer it by itself. There is no question of cenification, right?"

Chai Bozhong shook his head and said, "The Marquis is wrong. Now the Han Dynasty guards the southern border. The southern army under Zhongli Ao has an army of 80,000 tigers and wolves. Zhongli Ao is a famous general in the world. I am forgiving that Yuehuanshan of the Qinhuai Legion may not be Zhongli Ao's opponent."

Qi Ning didn't say anything, just stared at Chai Bozhong.

Chai Bo Zhong was calm and calm and continued, "I know that when the princes in the north competed for the throne, your Chu State must have thought it was a good opportunity for heaven, but you must also know that although the Han Dynasty was in chaos, Zhongli Ao was not in chaos. Zhongli Ao was strict in the army and was well-organized. He knew that in the midst of the chaos in the Han Dynasty, it was very likely that he would take advantage of the situation, so he had already made arrangements. The entire southern army was ready to fight, just waiting for your Chu State to attack."

Qi Ning said "Oh" and said lightly: "Are Military Advisor Chai telling me a joke? He just said that your country wanted to ced Xuzhou, and then he said that we would fight by ourselves. Now he said that Zhongli Ao is ready for battle. The more I listened, the more I became confused."

Chai Bozhong also picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "There is a saying that you know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Zhongli Ao's 80,000 troops were deployed to defend the north of the Huai River, and 30,000 of them were deployed in Xuzhou. If your country attacked for a strong attack, it would naturally not be beneficial. However, if your country knew the situation of Zhongli Ao's defense in Xuzhou, and had a clear understanding of Zhongli Ao's strategy in Xuzhou, and even the intelligence of the generals in Xuzhou commanding the troops, your country was clear, but you didn't know whether your country could win?"

Qi Ning felt a little nervous.

"After your country sends troops, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will naturally be able to easily capture Xuzhou." Chai Bozhong said: "Once your country sends troops, the third prince can also help you with your country and help you successfully capture Xuzhou. In this way, if the third prince gives Xuzhou to your country." He smiled slightly, raised his hand and stroked his beard and said: "In fact, the gift given to you by the third prince is not just Xuzhou. After your country takes Xuzhou, Dongqi will face the situation of attack on your country on both sides. At that time, you can take advantage of the strong army and defeat Dongqi in one fell swoop. The third prince promises that Chu will attack Dongqi, and the Han will never interfere. In this way, if the third prince and others give Qingzhou to you, they will also give Qingzhou."

Qi Ning asked: "Mr. Chai said that the Third Prince was helping us, but he didn't know where to start with this arm's strength?"

"Before the three armies move, food and grass will go first." Chai Bozhong said: "This is common sense for military strategists. Although Zhongli Ao is good at commanding the army and is also a famous general in the world, as long as the food and grass are cut off, no matter how powerful the general is, it will be difficult to win."

Qi Ning became more and more frightened as he heard it. Chai Bozhong continued: "The food and grass of the Southern Legion are all supplied by the Han Dynasty. Now Beitanghao and Beitangzhao are biting each other, so they don't care about the Southern Legion. However, Beitanghao is also worried that your country will take advantage of the situation and always need Zhongli Ao as a barrier to resist. Therefore, although the battle with Beitangzhao is in a tight position, he still tries his best to allocate food and grass for the Southern Legion."

Qi Ning said: "Mr. Chai means that the third prince has a way to cut off the supply of food and grass from the Southern Legion?"

Chai Bozhong smiled and said, "That's true. In fact, as far as we know, Beitangzhao and Beitanghao fought for so long, and the food and supplies were already stretched. However, in the current situation, Beitangzhao has the upper hand. Beitanghao suffered repeated setbacks and his morale was sluggish. The soldiers under his command were already moved. In this situation, Beitanghao would not be defeated soon. If the third prince led his troops into the pass and took Luoyang directly, Beitangzhao would have to deal with the Northwest Tiger and Wolf Army at that time, and naturally he would no longer be able to guarantee Zhongli Ao's supply." Fuxu smiled and said, "Marquis, but I don't know if this can be considered as helping your country?"

At this time, Qi Ning finally understood the other party's plan. If we look at the interests of Chu, what the other party did was of course a matter of unsuccessful desire. However, from the perspective of ordinary people, the other party's actions were undoubtedly a treason for treason, which could be said to be extremely despised.

A gust of wind blew in outside the window, but the climate was quite cool.

"Mr. Chai, I finally understand what you mean." Qi Ning sighed: "Actually, I have been thinking about something before. Who will Zhong Li Ao, who is holding heavy troops, support? Now I finally found the answer."

"oh?"

Qi Ning said: "I cannot be completely sure whether Zhongli Ao supports Beitang Zhao, but at least Zhongli Ao does not support your third prince."

"Why did the marquis say this?"

"If Zhongli Ao really supports the Third Prince, the Southern Army and Xianyang soldiers and horses rushed towards Luoyang in two directions, Beitang Zhao could not resist it at all." Qi Ning said: "Maybe in less than two months, the civil strife in Northern Han can end. But in fact, this situation did not happen. I even guessed that the Third Prince might not have sent someone to secretly contact Zhongli Ao, but the result must have disappointed the Third Prince."

Chai Bozhong's eyes twitched slightly, but his expression was still very calm.

"Although the third prince has been waiting for Beitanghao and Beitangzhao to send troops after both defeat, he should still have a heart attack." Qi Ning's eyes were sharp: "This heart attack is Zhongli Ao. He was worried that when he entered the pass to attack Luoyang, Zhongli Ao would lead his army back to the army to rescue. I think the troops under General Qu in the northwest should be far from enough to compete with Zhongli Ao's southern army. If Zhongli Ao returns to the rescue, the Northwest Army will definitely be defeated. What the third prince is most worried about is such a result. Military Commander Chai, I wonder if what I said is reasonable?"

Chai Bozhong remained calm and said with a smile: "The Southern Legion was trained by the Marquis of Changling, and he was indeed good at fighting. Your country actually suffered a lot of losses under the Southern Legion."
