Why did the King of Chu hold a special grand court meeting and ask Zhao Kuo to participate? This is considered the current situation - if the voices of opposition in Chu prevail, then give Zhao Kuo a chance to debate with the opposition.

If Zhao Kuo wins, everyone will be happy to form a Chu-Zhao alliance.

If Zhao Kuo loses the debate, it is Zhao Kuo's skills are not as good as others, so he can't blame the King of Chu.

So after Zhao Kuo spoke, the King of Chu agreed directly without any hesitation: "Wu Xinjun has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

On the other hand, Zhao Zhong, who had expected, also looked at Zhao Kuo.

As an old man who has been in the political arena of the Chu State and even the Chinese stage for many years, Zhao Zhong is still very confident about the remarks just now. He is also very curious - what should Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo use to refute?

In the hall, several Chu doctors sitting in the corner whispered.

"Can Wu Xinjun do it?"

"Wu Xinjun's strength is fighting, and this diplomacy may not work."

"In this way, wouldn't Shangzhuguo defeat Wu Xinjun?"

"Hey, then, our Da Chu is the one who defeated Wu Xinjun."

A low laughter rang out.

Although he did not have the mind reading skills, Zhao Kuo was actually very clear that most of the people in this hall probably did not have any kindness to him.

How to convince these people, especially the King of Chu who sat on the throne?

Zhao Kuo had actually had a scheming case for a long time.

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "King, I have just said so much on the Zhu Kingdom. If the foreign ministers refute it one by one, it would be a waste of time.

So here’s a brief introduction to two things.”

When the King of Chu nodded slightly when he heard this, he signaled Zhao Kuo to continue.

Zhao Kuo said: "Shangzhu Kingdom kept saying that the power of Zhao would pose an extremely huge threat to Chu, but I don't know if Shangzhu Kingdom had thought about it. In fact, Zhao and Chu are not bordered.

Since the two countries do not border each other, how can Zhao State endanger Chu State?

This is the first thing the foreign minister said.”

Why is it said that the mission to send a mission to Chu State this time is difficult? In fact, this is part of the factor.

Since Zhao and Chu are not bordered by the state of Chu, although Zhao can still cross Han or Wei to attack Chu, it is impossible to capture Chu's territory, which makes Zhao's threat to Chu a lot less.

But the fact that threats can actually be regarded as a benefit, just as Zhao Kuo said just now.

After hearing this, the King of Chu thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that it seemed that Zhao Kuo was fine.

Chu and Zhao are separated from west to east by five countries: Qin, Han, Wei, Lu and Qi. Unless Zhao destroys any of them, they will not be able to border Chu. However, it is not easy to destroy any of these five countries.

If Zhao did not have such a great threat to Chu at the moment, it seemed that Chu would not have the necessity to oppose Zhao.

Zhao Kuo continued: "Foreign ministers will talk about the second one."

Although Chencheng is good, it is not as good as Yingdu.

As long as Chu is willing to join our Great Zhao alliance, we two can attack Qin together in the future. Great Zhao is fully capable of helping Chu recover Yingdu and Yandu, which were taken away by the Qin people, and even the land of Fangcheng.

Is the king really completely indifferent to this?"

When Zhao Kuo said this, the King of Chu's expression changed again.

This time, I felt moved! As we all know, the old capitals of Chu, Yingdu and Yandu, were located in the Jianghan Plain area, but it was captured by Bai Qi more than 20 years ago and became the southern county of Chu.

In the north of Nanjun, there is Nanyang County of Qin. Nanyang County was also the territory of Chu at that time and was called "the land of square cities" by the people of Chu.

Although this is not the capital of Chu, it is the largest iron ore and iron weapon smelting base in Chu, and it is also extremely important to Chu.

The reason why the Chu State has been declining over the years is because Yingdu (Nanjun) and Fangcheng (Nanyangjun) are under the control of Qin. If Chu State can really take back these two places and rest for a while, the revival of Chu State's hegemony will definitely not be an empty talk! Not only the King of Chu, but many ministers of Chu State in the hall are also intent.

The capital was conquered and could only flee east in a hurry. This was the eternal pain in the hearts of countless people in Chu.

If Yingdu can be really recovered, the symbolic meaning alone will be unparalleled! Yin Chunshenjun, the ruler of Chu State, took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Kuo in shock.

Chunshenjun never expected that Zhao Kuo would make Zhao Zhong's words just shaky just now with just two simple words.

But Zhao Kuo's words are not over yet.

Zhao Kuo said sincerely: "King, although our Zhao State and Chu State alliance are for the benefit of Zhao State, Chu State is not unprofitable.

Foreign ministers dared to ask the king to think about it. If Chu did not cooperate with our Zhao State, would the power of Chu State be able to regain Yingdu and Fangcheng?

If the king thinks it is OK, then I, Zhao Kuo, leave immediately and will not make any persuasion!"

After saying this, Zhao Kuo stopped speaking, but turned around and sat down, quietly waiting for the doctor of the King of Chu.

After hearing these words, the faces of the king and minister of Chu changed again.

Can Chu State alone take back Yingdu and Fangcheng from Qin State?

Of course the answer is no.

Some people may say that the Qin State is no longer the extremely powerful Qin State before, but don’t forget that Bai Qi of Qin State is still there.

Bai Qi, this man who ruined the hegemony of Chu State, would not dare to fight alone with Qin State as long as he was alive for one day.

There is nothing else, it’s just that I’m afraid of being killed by Bai Qi.

However, if we cooperate with Zhao, the possibility of regaining Yingdu and Fangcheng land will be greatly increased.

Because the State of Zhao is not only stronger than the State of Qin, but also has the well-known nemesis of Bai Qi, the Zhao Kuo, who is now standing in the hall and talking about it! The atmosphere in the hall has changed again.

If Zhao Zhong stood up at a critical moment and refuted Chunshenjun, then Zhao Kuo is now completely reversing the situation with his own strength.

Zhao Zhong secretly complained that something was wrong and was about to stand up and say something, but the King of Chu had already spoken at this time.

"Shangzhuguo, you don't have to say much.

I have decided to sign an alliance with Zhao this time!"

Zhao Zhong's body was shocked when he heard this, but he still wanted to make the last effort: "King, Zhao's wolf ambition..." "Enough!"

The King of Chu suddenly interrupted Zhao Zhong's words and said coldly: "Shangzhu Kingdom, don't you want to recover Yingdu and Fangcheng, the shame of the defeat of the Great Chu under Qin before Yixue?"

Zhao Zhong's beard trembled continuously, but he was speechless.

The King of Chu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for? Let's take the blood of the three animals. Today I will join Wu Xinjun in this hall to make an alliance with Wu Xinjun!"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
