Let’s jointly attack and destroy your country... The reason is very simple, because the Chu State needs a large amount of food as military rations, otherwise, in the war with the Wei Dynasty in a year or two, the Chu State will be unable to resist the mighty troops of the Wei Dynasty! ...

… Either unite with Shu to destroy Ba, or unite with Ba to destroy Shu, right, Mr. Pingyu?"

"Zhang Qigong, you bastard!"

Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu cursed in his heart.

In fact, Xiong Hu was not surprised that Zhang Qigong had guessed everything about his Chu strategy. After all, this guy was the right-hand man of King Zhao Run of Wei. However, Xiong Hu never expected that Zhang Qigong would deliberately reveal a few things.

The destined "Wei-Chu War" later in the year served as a warning to Ba Yi.

Of course, after all, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu is not the young bird he was twenty years ago. Although he cursed Zhang Qigong in his heart, there was no clue on his face. He said calmly: "Master Zhang, don't be too proud too early."

, If it weren’t for your country’s conspiracy, I, the great Chu, would have captured your country’s old capital long ago and expelled all the Wei people to Sanchuan County!”

"Hahaha." Zhang Qigong laughed twice and retorted sarcastically: "While we, the Wei Dynasty, are at war with South Korea and the elites are not in the country, you, the people of Chu, united with Qi and other countries to mobilize a total of 1.5 million troops.

, but in the end, they were defeated by the monarch of our country with more than 300,000 domestic righteous people, and they were killed to the point where they abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in panic... Hahaha, to be honest with Mr. Pingyu, Zhang was also lucky enough to be by our lord's side at that time, and saw it with his own eyes.

Witnessing my lord's heroic appearance is really...tsk tsk, it's a pity that Lord Pingyu has never seen it in person." At this point, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in a pretentious way: "Oh, that's right, Lord Pingyu.

It was not on that battlefield at that time, because at that time, Lord Pingyu had been defeated by Wu Ji, our fierce general in the Wei Dynasty, and fled back to the country."

"...Bitch!"

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu was so angry that green veins sprouted from his forehead, but he didn't know how to refute. After all, he was indeed driven away by Wei General Wu Ji at that time.

Watching Zhang Qigong and Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu mocking each other, Ba Qi and Ba Man looked at each other.

After a while, Ba Yi expressed his attitude cautiously: "Two envoys, our Ba country does not want to get involved in the disputes in the Central Plains. Regardless of Chu or Wei, if the two countries have mutual exchanges with our Ba people, our Ba people will naturally

Welcome. But if the two countries covet our country, the Pakistanis will not sit still and wait for death."

"...It's all this bastard's fault!"

Glancing at Zhang Qigong, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu cursed secretly, then raised his hands and said to Ba Jin: "Prince Ba, please think carefully... I, Xiong Hu, always hope to establish friendship with your country, but it is undeniable that there are indeed some black sheep in our country.

, For example, Lord Chu Shui, this person has united with the Xiang clan. I have heard that the Xiang clan is disobedient to the Ba clan. If this person deceives the monarch of our country, I will drive our Chu soldiers to attack the Ba clan.

I'm afraid the ending is not what you or I want to see..."

"Absolutely awesome!"

Zhang Qigong interrupted Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu's words and said with a smile: "Pingyu Lord, your country's "two-pronged approach" really opened Zhang's eyes. At this moment, Zhang suddenly began to suspect that Chu Shuijun was really

Do I want to kill you, or do you actually have a tacit understanding between you two and are you just pretending to be mysterious?"

"..."

Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu glared at Zhang Qigong in a depressed manner. Of course he knew that Zhang Qigong was just deliberately provoking trouble. If the timing was not right, he would have wanted to punch that damn face with his fists.

However, due to the qualities of a great nobleman of the Chu State, he still suppressed his anger and sneered: "Master Zhang, please don't slander me. If Lord Chu Shui really wants to kill me, with Master Zhang's intelligence, can you still not see it? Mo?

If you say something ridiculous, it will lower Xiong Hu’s evaluation of Mr. Zhang.”

"Hehehehe..."

Zhang Qigong pretended to be profound and sneered a few times.

In fact, Xiong Hu's guess was correct. Zhang Qigong was just talking nonsense. His purpose was just to interrupt what Xiong Hu, the Lord of Pingyu, had just said, and to make Ba Jin doubt the Chu State and Lord Pingyu, Xiong Hu. - He couldn't look at Ba.

Was Kai persuaded by Xiong Hu because of the stakes?

Due to Zhang Qigong's troubles, the banquet was ultimately unsatisfactory.

Later, Ba Man asked Baman to settle down Mi Rui, Zhang Qigong, and Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, so Baman settled these people into his family mansion.

After confirming the place of residence, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu couldn't bear it any longer. He didn't care about the presence of Mi Rui, or the ghosts and black crow murderers under Zhang Qigong. He, who was already over fifty years old, picked up

Xiu Xiu pretended to beat Zhang Qigong violently and cursed the latter.

Zhang Qigong avoided it early and said with a smile: "Lord Pingyu, please calm down. I am a native of Wei. How can I sit back and watch as the prince persuades Ba to turn to your country?"

Seeing Zhang Qigong speak so straightforwardly, Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu was slightly startled, but his anger subsided a bit.

He frowned and stared at Zhang Qigong, and asked in confusion: "Zhang Qigong, what is the purpose of your coming to Bashu?" He looked Zhang Qigong up and down for a few times, and continued: "Just now at the banquet, you only focused on stirring up trouble, without doing anything.

To persuade Ba Yi to surrender to Wei...what are you here to do?"

Zhang Qigong was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

It is true that at the banquet that Ba Jin entertained them just now, he did not have the intention to persuade Ba Jin to defect to his Wei State, but this was just because he felt that the current time was not suitable for his Wei State to 'come forward'.

"...Perhaps this is an opportunity for Xiong Hu to lower his guard against me."

With a slight movement in his heart, Zhang Qigong said with a smile: "Hahaha, if I say that I came here specially for Master Mi Rui, I'm afraid Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu won't believe it... That's all, it doesn't matter if I say it anyway, I

Just tell the truth to Mr. Pingyu." After that, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Zhang

I came to Bashu this time just to destroy Qin’s intention to capture Bashu, and meeting the king was just a coincidence. But for Zhang, whether it was Qin or Chu, Zhang could not

Do you understand, Mr. Pingyu, if you just sit back and watch as you try to win over either Bashu or Bashu?"

"Qin?"

Xiong Hu, Lord Pingyu, changed his expression. He never thought that besides Chu, there would be a Qin country staring at the fat land of Bashu.

He stared at Zhang Qigong in surprise for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "Does the Wei State not covet Bashu...?"

"Hehehe." Zhang Qigong laughed twice and said: "My Wei Dynasty has abundant grain production, so what use does Bashu have? Don't worry, the target of our Wei Dynasty's next military expedition will always be your Chu State."

"When you say that, I'm not 'at ease' at all..."

Having said that, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu did breathe a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, there is another Qin State coveting Bashu. If there is another Wei State, it is definitely not what Chu State wants to see.

"really?"

Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu asked again: "Isn't Qin your ally of Wei?"

"Wasn't Chu also an ally of Wei?" Zhang Qigong said with a hint of ridicule, and then revealed: "Like Chu, Qin is now our enemy of Wei. Coincidentally, Qin is now

The situation of Bashu is the same as that of Chu State... To be honest, for Bashu, it will eventually be defeated by Qin State or Chu State.

If it is captured by Qin, our great Wei may attack Qi and Chu first. If it is captured by Chu, our great Wei may attack Qin first... What is the difference? Even if one of them is captured

So what if we can capture Bashu? I believe that at that time, we, the Wei Dynasty, would be able to capture all the land except Bashu..."

Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu took a deep look at Zhang Qigong and suddenly said: "So, Mr. Zhang actually doesn't mind helping me, Xiong Hu? Anyway, as the gentleman said, your country can also attack Qin first, right?"

"Assist Xiong Hu?... Well, first help Xiong Hu reach a tacit agreement with the Ba clan, instigate him and the Xiang clan, Chu Shuijun to kill each other, and then instigate the Chu State to fight with the Qin State. Well, this is indeed true.

Not bad.』

Thinking of this, Zhang Qigong said with a smile but not a smile: "It's exactly what Mr. Pingyu said!"

Hearing this, Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu was overjoyed. If Zhang Qigong in front of him didn't cause trouble and could even help him, why should Lord Chu Shui worry?

"High-five me!" he said seriously.

Zhang Qigong did not shirk, and high-fived Xiong Hu as an oath.

Sure enough, during the meeting with Ba Shu the next day, Zhang Qigong did not interfere any more. He even revealed to Ba Xi the news that "Qin was preparing to attack Bashu" as requested by Xiong Hu. Shocked, Ba Xi immediately sent people to Hanzhong.

"Ju Guo" for verification.

At the same time, Zhang Qigong's deputy Bei Gongyu had also arrived at the Jie tribe in Nanyang, and obtained a secret letter written by Zhang Qigong from the hands of the two Black Crows.

When seeing this secret letter, Bei Gongyu felt very puzzled.

It's not that he was puzzled by Zhang Qigong's instructions to secretly lobby the Fan clan, but that Zhang Qigong asked him to be careful in his letter, so as not to let "Lord Mi Rui" see through his intentions.

"Ci Rui...could she be the 'silly girl' that His Majesty mentioned when I came here? It's strange, why did Captain Zhang think that woman would see through his plan?"

Holding the secret letter in her hand, Bei Gongyu was puzzled.

Is the silly girl that the monarch of the Wei Kingdom calls him worthy of being as vigilant and cautious as Captain Zhang, who is far more intelligent than him?
