According to the current situation, once the Qin and Chu countries enter a stage of peace, the hostile target of Chu will naturally become Yan.
Whether it is a serious war or a simple strategic confrontation... the Chu State will bring great pressure to the new strong Yan State!
In this way, Zhao State was very comfortable.
The biggest strategic blueprint of Zhao State at present is to completely annex the "Zhongshan Kingdom" sandwiched between Yan and Zhao State. In order to achieve such a goal, Zhao Yong has led troops several times and fought several major battles with Zhongshan State.
Zhongshan Kingdom is a small country with weak military strength. If Zhao could do it with his hands and feet, it would be easy to completely annex the small country.
The problem is that Yan State has always been hindering it.
Just like the Song State, which was sandwiched between Qi and Chu, Zhongshan State became a strategic buffer between the two major countries of Yan and Zhao. Every time Zhao Yong sent troops, Yan State had to intervene, which led to Zhao Yong's victory in the battlefield, but he could only slowly erode Zhongshan State.
In short, when Qin and Chu confront each other, Zhao State is not profitable; when Chu and Yan confront each other, Zhao State can devote themselves to killing the fat meat of Zhongshan State and expand its territory in the southeast direction!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yong looked at King Huai of Chu... He was very much looking forward to the latter being able to nod and agree to the marriage.
King Huai of Chu didn't know who Ying Zhuo was, but he just felt that Qiang Qin took the initiative to send the royal princess to his house to marry him, which made him feel very proud... He couldn't help but laugh--
"Marquis Quyang of Great Chu has long been married. As Wu Liang's uncle, I have never paid attention to this matter... It's really my dereliction of duty."
"Since the King of Qin has this intention, I will accept it."
"As long as Qu Yanghou nodded his head and agreed, the marriage will be implemented - I will prepare generous gifts for my nephew, hahaha..." King Huai of Chu looked at Xiong Wuliang.
The monarchs of various countries also looked over - for them, this was not just a matter of Xiong Wuliang's personal happiness, but an important political signal.
Ying Zhuo blushed and wanted to put his head in the crack in the ground... Fortunately, the monarchs and ministers present did not know who Ying Zhuo was, and no one noticed her.
Ying Zhuo looked at Xiong Wuliang secretly, his heart was in a mess.
This is too sudden.
If he really nodded and accepted it, wouldn't I have to...
Hey!
I am several years older than Xiong Wuliang... How can this be done?
But Xiong Wuliang...if he really shook his head and refused, it would make Ying Zhuo even more unacceptable...
Xiong Wuliang was so panicked in front of everyone... Even at the critical moment of life and death in Xianyang City, he was never so embarrassed... Almost a bystander, Xiong Wuliang nodded...
King Huai of Chu smiled and said, "Okay! OK!"
King Yingji of Qin glanced at King Huai of Chu, and a moment of disappointment flashed in his heart... Promise Wang Mei to the damn Xiong Wuliang, which was indeed satisfying Wang Mei's love... But just as Zhao Yong guessed, Yingji really hoped to use this to alienate the monarch and ministers of Chu.
After all, when a marriage between the two countries usually sends the girl directly to the monarch... After all, there are very few people who marry the monarch's nephew.
But looking at King Huai of Chu's smiling face, it seems that there is no intention of being alienated.
King Yingji of Qin couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy was really heartless or simply heartless...
Ahem!
"Since that's the case, then I, Qin, will have a good time to clean up. I will choose an auspicious day next year and send the princess to the fief of Quyang Marquis..." Ying Ji pondered for a moment and finally said this.
Ying Zhuo's face was already red and shivering into a ball. He hid among the crowd and did not dare to speak... The princes and princesses of Qin, or the concubines of the King of Qin, all of whom were winking at Ying Zhuo, looking like a teasing look.
Really, I'm going to marry that damn Xiong Wuliang...
...
The atmosphere in the hall became warm with the naked eye. No matter how the monarchs and ministers from all countries felt about Xiong Wuliang, they also smiled and persuaded Xiong Wuliang to drink.
Xiong Wuliang, who was originally thinking of running away secretly, could not hide now, so he could only drink one by one...
Except for the monarch and ministers of Yan State who were resentful of Xiong Wuliang and no one paid attention to Xiong Wuliang, almost every prince or minister present greeted Xiong Wuliang and said a few words such as blessings and good fortune.
The musician in Yungong improvised a few poems praising marriage in the Book of Songs: Wind... This kind of folk music is generally not elegant, but it is quite appropriate to sing it today.
Quyang Hou Xiong Liang will be getting married next year!
If this news spreads, there are countless girls and women in the entire Chu State who will shed tears for it and fall in love together...
The musician played and sang, and the Chu dancer with slender waists danced a heart-warming dance... King Huai of Chu sat in the main seat and looked radiant, with a loud voice...
Except for a very few VIPs with ugly faces, the guests and hosts were all happy.
A welcome banquet lasted until late at night.
...
With the help of Xiao Hei, Xiong Wuliang walked to the corner of Yun Palace, avoiding the concubines and princesses from all over the world whose eyes were hot and who seemed to want to eat people... felt relieved.
"yue..." Xiong Wuliang was swayingly leaning on the wall, and reached into his mouth with his hand and poked and slashed.
The vomit fluttered in the wind... A little cool evening breeze blew, Xiong Wuliang took the hand towel handed by Xiao Hei and wiped his face, and finally woke up.
At this time, Yun Palace had fallen into silence... The soldiers from all over the country drank a lot of wine, and snoring sounds were heard in the outer camps of the entire palace.
Only the garrisons of Chu were still patrolling everywhere with the lights... The flags of Chu on the camp walls were swaying in the wind, and the soldiers standing guard did not dare to slacken at all.
In order to maintain stability, King Huai of Chu dispatched 5,000 imperial guards in the palace and drew as many as 50,000 garrison soldiers from all over the country... and protected the entire Yun Palace firmly.
The money and food consumed are enough to support a medium-sized border war.
Xiong Wuliang rubbed his face and his eyes became extremely sharp - as if he had never drunk alcohol.
Xiao Hei on the side was stunned.
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Xiao Hei and thought to himself that I had mastered the skills of hiding wine on the construction site in my previous life. It was the great achievement of the wine table culture of the Chinese civilization for 5,000 years - Isn't it easy to deceive these ancient people who have not received nine years of compulsory education?
Xiong Wuliang woke up and didn't talk much nonsense, so he rushed straight to the bedroom where the King of Chu was.
I reported my names to the imperial guards at the door - in fact, this was just a process, and these imperial guards were already familiar with Xiong Wuliang - the imperial guards who were guarding did not stop them at all, and directly put Xiong Wuliang in.
At this moment, King Huai of Chu had just finished washing up and was humming and watching the dancer dancing while brewing sleepiness...
Xiong Wuliang walked in straight away, without being polite, bowed his hands and asked directly: "My nephew greets the king... I dare to ask the king, how long will you be ready for this alliance ceremony?"
