Zhao Kuo did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhao Zhong in front of him quietly, intending to hear how the representative of the three major families opposed him first.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is a battle of success. Since you are destined to debate, you must first listen to the opinions of the three major families, then find out the flaws in their opinions, and use sharp words to break them.

Zhao Kuo is still very confident about this. This marquis is a famous general of "paper talk". Who has this marquis ever been afraid of when it comes to talking about the words?

As soon as Zhao Zhong stood up, the originally very vigorous voice of approval suddenly became much smaller, and in a few seconds the entire hall became completely quiet.

After all, the three major families have hundreds of years of foundation in the Chu State. Although they are temporarily suppressed by Chunshenjun, their remaining power still exists.

Zhao Zhong glanced at Zhao Kuo, as if he was a little afraid, but he slowly spoke: "King, what Chunshen Jun said is indeed reasonable, but the old minister still feels that he should not cooperate with Zhao."

Chunshenjun couldn't sit still when he heard this and immediately spoke, "What does Shangzhuguo mean?"

Zhao Zhong touched his white beard and said slowly: "Since the three families divided Jin, the seven vassal states have joined forces to compete for hegemony. Wei Wenhou was the first to dominate, and then King Wei of Qi, and then King Wei of our Great Chu, King Wei of Qin, who had just passed away in Qin, and of course, the current Zhao State.

Five of the seven countries compete for hegemony in two hundred years is enough to prove that every country has the potential to become a hegemony and cannot be underestimated."

Chunshenjun frowned and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom, what does what you said have to do with the current Chu-Zhao Alliance?"

Zhao Zhong still said slowly: "Of course it's relevant.

Looking at the many overlords over the past two hundred years, except for the current Zhao State, all other overlords have failed by the coalition of the princes.

What does this mean?

This means that when a vassal state becomes the hegemon, this country will become a major concern for other countries and will be attacked by other vassal states.

It is precisely because every hegemonic country has been sieged like this for more than two hundred years that the position of the hegemonic has been constantly changing among the major powers.”

"But if the Great Chu wanted to form an alliance with Zhao, the situation would be completely different.

Zhao State is the world's largest country today. Although Da Chu has declined a lot compared to before, it can at least be regarded as the third country in the world.

If the Great Chu really formed an alliance with Zhao, and the Wei State, which was almost bound to form an alliance with Zhao State, would you dare to ask who else in the world could curb the power of Zhao State?

This will only make Zhao attack other countries more unscrupulously, and eventually lead to Zhao's power becoming stronger and stronger until it becomes a monster that other vassal states in the world cannot fight against even if they unite!”

"So, King Chunshen, I say something here--Da Chu must not form an alliance with Zhao!"

It took Zhao Zhong several minutes to finish his words, and after he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about Zhao Zhong's words, thinking about whether they should agree or oppose these words.

Zhao Kuo sat aside, his eyes at Zhao Zhong changed slightly.

Sure enough, there is a reason why the three major families of Chu have been able to stand for many years. Zhao Zhong's words really analyzed the reason why Zhao State found Chu to form an alliance.

Zhao State is the best in the world, why do you still have to look for allies everywhere?

It is because before the Warring States Period, all the world's number one hegemonic countries were killed by other princes, which proves one thing--no hegemonic countries cannot win by the joint efforts of other princes.

Therefore, if Zhao State wants to continue to expand, it must ensure that it can win over a group of princes, and the more princes it wins, the better.

Under the most optimistic situation, if all the other five Shandong countries were on the side of Zhao, wouldn’t Zhao move west peacefully and kill Qin directly?

Once the Qin State is completely annexed, the Zhao State will become a super overlord country that can cover part of the Central Plains of the Palestinian period in Guanzhong, Taihang Mountains, with a population of more than 10 million and can mobilize troops to reach one million. Isn’t it a matter of a minute to destroy other princes?

Of course, it is not necessary to attack Qin first. In short, as long as Zhao has enough allies, it is OK to attack Yan, Qi and any other country first.

With enough support from allies, Zhao State, with its national strength as the world's largest country, will inevitably be able to easily destroy any country except Qin and Chu.

The alliance between Zhao and Chu is part of the huge unified plan of Zhao.

No matter what position Zhao Zhong stands against Zhao Chu's alliance, the head of the Zhao family saw through the hidden ambitions of Zhao State, and was indeed a talent! Debate this thing requires reason. After Zhao Zhong said such a very reasonable thing, even Chunshen Jun could not find a reason to refute it for a while.

At this time, Qu Feng, the head of the Qu family among the three major families, also stood up and whispered loudly: "What the Shangzhu Kingdom said makes a lot of sense.

Zhao State is full of ambitions, just like Qin State before, it is a huge threat to the princes in the world. Great Chu must be guarded against!"

The ministers of the Zhao family and Qu family immediately spoke up to support their respective heads of the family.

Although Jing Yang, the head of the Jing family, had been unable to attend, he had already given instructions in advance. For a time, the ministers of the three major families united and formed a surging wave of rebuttals in the hall.

"We should never form an alliance with Zhao!"

"The Great Chu should contact the princes and oppose Zhao together!"

"If the Great Chu can still revive its hegemony, why should it be under another country?"

Although the ministers of Chunshenjun's faction were constantly defending, the truth seemed to be controlled by the three major families, so Chunshenjun's faction seemed quite powerless to defend the Zhao Chu alliance.

The congressmen were raging, and even the King of Chu's face began to change a lot, which obviously seemed a little shaken.

The King of Chu did trust Chunshen Jun very much, but the proposals made by the three major families in this matter seemed to be more beneficial to the State of Chu.

Chunshen Jun, who had been an official for many years in Chu, felt something wrong when he saw this, and knew that his king's change was about to happen.

But Chunshenjun had no choice.

what to do?

Just when Chunshenjun was already a little panicked, a calm and gentle voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, all the officials, I wonder if I can hear a few words from this marquis?"

Chunshenjun subconsciously cast his eyes, and then instantly felt hope.

It was Zhao Kuo who stood up and spoke.
