Chapter 342 Land for Peace

Ying Bu suddenly rose and fell into defeat.

Unlike other weak little princes, Ying Bu's bravery and fame gave him a high reputation among the heroes of Kanto, and his name as "butcher, murderer" was even more rumored that he would stop his children from crying.

Once upon a time, the two names Xiang Yu and Ying Bu were often associated, but now, they fought to the death like Qin and Zhao.

"Ying Bu died, died at the hands of Xiang Yu!" This news was too shocking. For those who were not very clear about the grudge between Eastern Chu and Western Chu, Xiang Yu did so, which made his relatives feel sad and his enemies. At the same time, this cruel fact also made those who once praised Xiang Yu as the king of princes.

In the past, they always thought that only Qin State would regard them as enemies, and the princes would join forces to attack Qin. Under such a banner of righteousness, the contradictions between the princes' forces were also covered up. However, in the past two years, fewer and fewer vassals in the Guandong area survived their repeated attacks.

Daliang.

The capital of the Western Wei Kingdom, as the relationship between Qin and Chu improved, this abandoned city located at the junction of the two countries once again showed vitality. The caravans traveling over the river, as well as those neutral people who neither wanted to vote Qin nor Chu, made Daliang recreate the style of the former Wei capital.

It should be said that Wei Bao has made great contributions to being able to revive Daliang. He had a bit of complacent thoughts before, but after hearing Ying Bu's death, Wei Bao suddenly woke up.

Where can there be a complete egg in a dangerous nest?

Wei Bao, who was immersed in his little kingdom, suddenly looked up and suddenly found that in the Central Plains region in the north, he had become one of the two surviving old princes. The remaining Changsha king Wu Rui was far south of the river, so he could not support each other.

Is this God's favor, or is God going to see him joke? The panicked Wei Bao urgently summoned his generals and advisers to discuss the next way out. Unlike the humble thieves like Ying Bu, the identity of the descendant of the Wei Bao royal family attracted him some famous people.

As for counselors, former Han King Liu Bang, a former friend of the former Han King, Yong Chi, a native of Pei County, chose to join Wei Bao's command after he had multiple employers. In addition, a descendant of a familiar figure was also on the stage of history for the first time. Zhang Er, the former Changshan King, finally died of illness in Daliang after being displaced all the way.

After his father's death, Zhang Ao, the son-in-law of Liu Bang, the husband of Princess Lu Yuan, and the famous handsome man from the early Han Dynasty, defected to Wei Bao nearby. This was also a helpless move. He had many forces. Now the Qin and Chu families dominate, and these two families had no good feelings for Zhang Er, the outdated prince.

In terms of military generals, after Pu Hou Chen Wu was killed by Liu Bang, the Wei army was made by Cai Yin and Zhang and said that two Wei people were generals. Cai and Zhang's ability could not be compared with Chen Wu, but their loyalty was their loyalty.

"King, if this Ji kills Ying Bu, it is very likely that he will attack us next. As long as he sees the last general, it is better to prepare early and simply surrender to Qin." Cai Yin, who made this suggestion, was the commander of the 500 Wei army sent to Yan land at that time. After seeing the strength of the Qin army, Cai Yin completely lost his arrogant expression.

"King, you must not. Cai Yin is a general who is in power, but he is afraid before he fights. He only cares about saying that the king has given up his position as a prince. I beg the king to seize the military power of this clerk to be respectful and obey him." Hearing Cai Yin's strong advice, Zhang Ao, who had always been tough on Qin, hurried forward and questioned loudly.

"Zhang Ao, what are you? You also want to be arrogant in my Great Wei." Cai Yin was furious. As an old man who followed Wei Bao several times to fight, Cai Yin's loyalty had long been proven by facts, but he could not have thought that he would be slandered by juniors like Zhang Ao today.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. Whether to vote for Qin or not, I have my own opinions. Let me talk about what actions will Xiang Ji take after he takes Jiangdong, and whether it is possible to attack my Great Wei." Wei Bao waved impatiently and asked at the several subordinates below.

According to Wei Bao's idea, the current state of such an independent little kingdom is the most comfortable.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than to be the queen of a cow.

In Daliang, Wei Bao is the sky and the king. It can be said that it is the only one. Even if the territory is smaller and the army is weaker, as long as he does not cause trouble, Qin and Chu generally do not need to pay attention to him. This is because the location of the Chenggao alliance last time was within the territory of Wei.

It is very necessary for Qin and Chu to have such a buffer zone, but now, this delicate balance is very likely to be broken by Xiang Ji.

It is terrible for Xiang Ji who has recovered his courage and invincibility on the battlefield. In comparison, Wei Bao is more willing to trust the Qin Wuhou who is slowly advancing but pressing step by step in the west. In fact, the results of being pushed off the cliff and boiling a frog in warm water are the same, but the process and feelings are completely different.

"King, I am willing to go to Pengcheng immediately to find out the news about Chu." Zhang Ao was young and energetic. After Wei Bao expressed his concerns, he immediately asked for orders.

In sharp contrast to Zhang Ao's enthusiasm, Xiang Yongchi, Cai Yin, and Zhang Said, these people were silent and not talking much. They seemed very happy that Zhang Ao took on this glorious task.

"That's how Zhang Qing will work hard." Wei Bao paused, and seeing that no one was still responding, he had to say to Zhang Ao.

When Zhang Ao raised his head and smiled with the winner, Yong Chi and others began to live. They all approached Wei Bao and started to speak in detail.

"King, Xiang Ji is a cold-hearted person by nature, and is extremely brave. In the past, when Fan Zeng was there, he could still listen. Now, Xiang Tuo, the prime minister of Chu, can only indulge him. When he is frustrated, Xiang Ji may take into account the feelings of the people in the world. When he is proud, I am afraid that no one in the Chu State can persuade him--." Yongchi hugged the beard under his jaw and nodded while saying.

Eight years have passed since the world's disputes.

There were not many old brothers who were still alive to witness this history. Yong Chi was one of them. He had joined Xiang Liang and worked with Xiang Yu in one match. He was also an acquaintance who knew himself and his enemy.

"Yong Qing, according to what you said, is that Xiang Ji really possible to attack my Great Wei?" Wei Bao asked anxiously.

"King, although our Wei State now only has four or five cities, including Daliang, Chenggao, Pingyi, etc., compared with the frequent wars of the Chu state, the Wei land is like a piece of fat meat placed beside the mouth. With a little stretch, you can grab it. With Xiang Ji and Xiang Tuo's temperament, will they let us go? Obviously not. The reason why they have never taken action is just because we are not fat enough and not rich enough." Yong Chi said helplessly.

"What should I do?" Wei Bao heard Yongchi's analysis and was also very angry. He actually understood in his heart that the feeling of survival in the cracks was not good. It was like a sharp sword hanging on his head at any time, and it would fall down at any time.

"King, I have a discussion, don't you know whether to talk or not?" Yong Chi pondered for a moment and leaned closer and said.

"If you have an idea, let me say that, I will never blame you?" Wei Bao frowned and said.

"King, in addition to Daliang and Chenggao, the cities under my jurisdiction, are mixed with Qin and Chu, and there is also the old capital Pingyi, which belongs to Hedong County and is surrounded by Qin's territory. If the king is willing to do so, we can use Daliang and Chenggao to exchange for Pingyi's security. My subordinates believe that Li Yuan would agree to this condition. After all, being able to capture several cities in Wei without bloodshed will be a good thing for Qin that is more beneficial than disadvantages." Yong Chi said.

For peace by land.

Yongchi was an ancient man more than 2,000 years ago. Naturally, he didn't know that there was a country called Palestine in later generations, and he used his territory to exchange for hope for peaceful establishment of the country.

Wei Bao was silent.

Give up the hometown that I finally stayed behind, give up the enjoyment of these years, and then go to another remote place to start a new life.

This is really not easy.

But Yong Chi was right. Facing the two great powers of Qin and Chu, how long can the small Wei Kingdom dance on eggs last?

Maybe a few months later, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Chu army and Qin army would come like overwhelming floods anytime and anywhere. With just over 3,000 Wei soldiers, looking at Cai Yin and Zhang said the two panic, Wei Bao really didn't have the confidence and courage to stay in Daliang again.

"Yongqing, you took my name and went to Luoyang. I heard that the Shenwu Hou of Qin was returning from the Nanjun area and was very likely to pass there. Then you can judge the situation and explore Li Yuan's words." Wei Bao sighed and said with difficulty.

Wei Bao has always supported his unwillingness to bow to Qin, but because he is different from others. He is a royal family of Wei. When the anti-Qin riot was in the past, his brother Wei Ju was killed by Qin general Zhang Han. Now, he is really incomparable to the face and psychology of Qin.

But what if you don't bow your head? Everything is a cloud in front of the strong. Do you really have to wait until the Chu army comes to kill you, and the newly married concubine becomes a toy for the Chu people, and the wealth you finally earned will be burned. If it is true, as Yongchi said, Daliang and Chenggao can be exchanged for Pingyi's security, the result will be fine after careful calculation.

Wei Bao was swaying around in a wandering way. The judgment of which Zhang Ao or Yongchi was correct can only be proved by time. Compared to Wei Bao, Peng Yue, who has been steadily in Juyeze, was much more decisive.

Peng Yue.

In history, he was named the King of Guerrillas. This was mainly because he repeatedly led troops to harass the heartland of Chu State during the Chu-Han War, which made Xiang Yu unable to do his best to deal with Liu Bang.

Now, Peng Yue, who has been in a semi-independent state, is also a little unable to hold on. He saw one young guy after another who is less experienced than him and is promoted to another title with Li Yuan, but he lost the opportunity because of his own selfishness. This torture has already made Peng Yue, who is nearly 40 years old, have had enough.

The more than 6,000 thieves from Juyeze officially surrendered to Qin State. This was the final decision made by Peng Yue after some hard thinking.
