Chapter 177: All the princes arrive
Outside Pinglu City, groups of elites wearing heavy armor stood in formation, but standing in front of them was a famous prince in uniform.
Slowly retracting his gaze from the distance, looking at the endless plains ahead, Mr. Lu couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
"Why hasn't Marquis Wei arrived yet?"
Although Lu Gong's muttering was not loud, it undoubtedly expressed the thoughts of all the princes present.
Suddenly, almost all the princes present turned around and cast their eyes on Duke Lu standing behind him.
When facing the lines of sight in his field of vision, Lu Gong immediately felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He realized that the words he just said unintentionally were a bit rude.
Almost in an instant, Lu Gong's eyes immediately lowered, and he stared straight at the small area under his feet.
It was not until a moment later that he seemed to feel that everyone was no longer looking at him, and then Duke Lu slowly raised his head.
He first looked at Duke Song, who was standing on his left, and then at Duke Wei, who was standing on his right.
After receiving their respective responses, Mr. Lu gently exhaled as if he had been granted amnesty.
It was precisely because of the unintentional mistake made by Duke Lu just now that the originally solemn atmosphere outside Pinglu City began to become a little restless due to the secret actions of the princes.
Through the secret exchanges between these princes, it can be clearly seen that the princes who seem to be standing together are as distinct as the Jing River and the Wei River in Guanzhong.
Among the princes outside Pinglu, the Lu, Song and Wei states that had just faced each other were undoubtedly in the same camp.
According to the comparison of strength, the respective strength of these three countries cannot be compared with the other major countries, so they can only choose to hug each other tightly to gain a sense of security.
In addition to Lu, Song and Wei, South Korea and Zhao are undoubtedly on the same side.
In terms of origin, these two countries are from the Jin State; in terms of alignment, these two countries once formed a blood alliance with the Wei State.
Not only that, because there is a powerful Wei State sandwiched between South Korea and Zhao State, it is basically impossible for any large-scale conflict to break out between the two countries.
So no matter how you look at South Korea, Zhao is a natural ally, and the Marquis of Han and Marquis of Zhao standing together at this moment undoubtedly confirm this.
After talking about the three small countries of Lu, Song and Wei, and after talking about the two natural allies of Han and Zhao, it is naturally the turn of Qi and Qin.
In fact, logically speaking, there is basically no possibility of conflict between Qin and Qi, because the distance between the two countries is quite far.
From Guanzhong, where Qin State is located, to the East China Sea, where Qi State is located, according to the current marching speed, it would take the army at least several months to travel.
And it is this long distance that ensures that the two countries will not frequently have disputes due to territorial disputes.
Of course, the situation in the original time and space where Qin State had expanded its territory to the west of Qi State is not within the scope that we need to consider.
But bringing our eyes back to reality, today's Qin State is not the Great Qin Empire that swept across the world in later generations, and today's Qi State is not the world's leading Eastern Emperor and Qiang Qi after two generations of Wei Xuan.
Qin and Qi, both of which had just experienced a tragic defeat, also had to face the threat of an enemy.
Facing the invincible and powerful military front of the Wei soldiers, Qi and Qin, who were originally separated in the east and west, finally chose to stand together, just like Qin Gong and Qi Gong are now standing together.
After sorting out the relationships among the above-mentioned princes, the only one left is the King of Chu who is standing alone at the front of the princes at this moment.
The reason why the King of Chu was able to be so high-profile was not because he was as arrogant as the later King Yelang, but because he really had the confidence.
In terms of title, the Chu Kingdom is a king.
Although the king of the Chu Kingdom is somewhat suspected of overstepping his bounds, it should be noted that the Chu Kingdom has been overstepping its bounds for hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period.
Over the course of hundreds of years, the King of Chu talked with Duke Huan of Qi, had banquets with Duke Wen of Jin, and often led his troops north to make alliances with the princes.
What enables Chu State to be so unscrupulous?
It relied on the vast land obtained by wiping out dozens of princes, on the prestige gained from each victory, and on the rich national strength accumulated by the previous kings of the Chu Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this strong national power that the King of Chu can stand at the forefront of the princes alone in a majestic manner.
However, although King Chu was standing at the forefront of the princes at the moment, if you look closely, there was still a hint of solemnity in his eyebrows.
This solemnity does not come from a certain prince standing beside him at this moment, but from Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei who has not yet arrived.
Originally, Wei's power had already made Chu very fearful. Now that Wei had defeated Qin and Qi in the east and west respectively, this made Chu King Xiong Liangfu's worries even more serious.
In order to deal with Wei, the increasingly powerful overlord of the world, Chu began to tentatively contact Qin and Qi, the losers in this battle.
For example, even though King Xiong Liangfu of Chu was standing at the front, he would still glance at the Duke of Qin and where Duke Qi was standing, intentionally or unintentionally.
Before Wei Marquis Wei Feng's chariot showed up, through the reactions of the princes outside Pinglu City, we could already get a rough idea of their respective camps.
"Xilulu..."
After a long time, the secret exchanges between the princes came to an abrupt end with the sound of horses neighing in the distance.
On the plains, a high-flying red flag first caught the eyes of the princes, followed by groups of elite soldiers wearing strong armor.
Looking at the light emanating from the armor of the famous soldier in the field of vision, looking at the perseverance emerging on the faces that are getting closer and closer, feeling the evil that seems to be slowly coming towards me and others.
huge stress;
Even though these princes present are all well-informed people, they can't help but praise him sincerely in their hearts.
He is truly the best in the world.
Amid pairs of envious eyes, pairs of jealous eyes, and pairs of hateful eyes, the car Wei Feng was riding in slowly arrived in front of everyone.
"The Marquis of Wei has arrived."
Accompanied by a loud roar, both the soldiers who came following Wei Hou's chariot and those who were standing outside the city wall straightened their bodies almost subconsciously.
At this moment, Wei Marquis Wei Feng was sitting in the carriage, listening to the roar ringing in his ears, and slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time.
After carefully arranging his robe from bottom to top with his hands, Wei Feng opened the curtain in front of him and slowly walked out of the carriage.
"See your Majesty."
"See your Majesty."
"See your Majesty."
…
At the moment when Wei Marquis Wei Feng appeared in front of everyone from the carriage, all the elites of the Wei army knelt down on one knee almost at the same time, and there was a loud sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
Feeling the huge momentum coming from the front, Wei Feng's left hand tightly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and an unparalleled edge suddenly flashed in his eyes.
