Chapter 182: Man-made fish meat (final)

Among the princes present in the hall at this moment, in terms of national strength, the two most powerful countries are Wei and Chu.

Judging from the performances of the two kings just now, Wei is obviously preparing to divide Qi's land, while Chu is secretly siding with Qi.

Now that Chu King Xiong Liangfu's words have not completely dissipated, the reason why everyone else has focused their attention on Wei Feng is because they want to see what kind of reaction Wei will make.

Under the gazes of many eyes in the hall, Wei Feng felt a little careless in his heart when faced with King Chu's peacemaker-like words.

At this moment, the situation on the scene could not be more obvious. Chu, originally an ally of Wei, was ready to protect Qi as much as possible for its own benefit.

Under this situation, a question immediately appeared in front of Wei Feng: Should the Wei State break up with the Chu State for the sake of the Qi State?

After pondering for a long time, the solemnity on Wei Feng's face slowly dissipated, and there was a bit more smile in his eyes when he looked at Chu King Xiong Liangfu.

"Since the King of Chu has said so, let's not mention the battle again for the time being."

In order to maintain the relationship between the two countries, he temporarily suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart. Wei Feng continued to ask downwards: "I just don't know how King Chu is going to end this war, and what Duke Qi is going to pay."

What kind of price will be paid to compensate us?"

Wei Feng's words clearly threw the problem back to Xiong Liangfu, and the eyes of all the princes present also returned to the King of Chu in front of them.

Xiong Liangfu clearly felt the scorching gazes coming from all directions, and a heavy pressure immediately arose in his heart.

The next moment, he immediately realized that Wei Feng was setting him on the fire to roast him. If he was not careful, he would cause dissatisfaction among the other princes present.

If there was no Wei State, whose national power was somewhat stronger than that of Chu State, Xiong Liangfu would grit his teeth and be tough to the end in order to draw Qi State into his camp.

But now Wei Feng is sitting at the top looking at him. If he insists on favoring Qi, he may be jointly hostile by the other princes.

Although the Chu State at this moment still has a vast territory, sufficient population, and strong national strength, Xiong Liangfu does not want these princes to join forces to attack Chu again.

After hesitating for a moment, a smile appeared on Xiong Liangfu's face, and he said to the rest of the people: "Since we are gathered here to eliminate the war, then what can't we talk about?"

"You might as well tell the conditions in your heart, so that Qi Gong can think about it carefully, right?"

When Xiong Liangfu made this suggestion, all the princes present did not react immediately, but all looked at the leader Wei Feng again.

It is obvious that these princes still trust Wei Hou as the leader of the alliance more than the King of Chu, who is a nominal ally but has shown his intention to favor Chu.

Wei Feng was naturally very clear about what the surrounding princes were thinking, and at the same time, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Since the King of Chu has said this, how about you, princes, say something?" Looking at the princes below, Wei Feng said in a deep voice.

"I, the State of Zhao, will come first."

After a few breaths, amidst Wei Feng's faint smile and Xiong Liangfu's somewhat displeased look, Zhao Zhong, the leader of the Zhao Kingdom, stood up first.

From the seat, he went straight to the map. As his fingers moved quickly on it, the territory of Qi that Zhao wanted to obtain was displayed in front of everyone.

"The Marquis of Wei and other princes, our Zhao State has dispatched a total of 40,000 troops in this battle and captured all the land of Qi State north of the river."

"Although his achievements cannot be compared with those of Wei, he still contained Qi's 50,000-strong army in Gaotang, which can be regarded as a slight contribution."

"If possible, I, the State of Zhao, hope to acquire the land of the State of Qi north of the river, as well as the cities of Boling, Pingyuan, Rao'an and other cities south of the river of the State of Qi."

After Zhao Zhong finished speaking and returned to the seat, as Wei Feng's eyes turned slightly, Lu Gong who was sitting below came to the map immediately.

"Everyone, our country, the State of Lu, is sending troops this time for no other reason than to take back the territory that the State of Qi once occupied."

"To the east of Gangcheng, to the west of Jucheng, to the north of Niancheng, and to the south of the Great Wall, these lands were originally the old lands of our country of Lu. The people of our country of Lu do not want to return to these lands every day."

"I also ask all the kings to learn from this!"

After the kings of Zhao and Lu finished explaining their conditions, Tian Wu looked at the map with an even uglier face.

The conditions proposed by Zhao and Lu were clearly from the north and middle directions, compressing Qi's territory from its original location to a narrow area south of the river and east of Maling.

Besides, these are only the conditions proposed by Zhao and Lu. Didn’t you see that Song, Wei and even Chu have not put forward their own demands?

The ugly state on Tian Wu's face did not last long. As the monarchs of Song and Wei came on stage one after another, there was only a gloomy look in his eyes.

Among the two countries, the Song State claimed the vast area east of Jishui and south of Wuyan in Qi State, while the Wei State took over all the land west of Liaocheng under the secret instructions of Wei State.

In this way, Qi State's originally vast land was immediately divided up by several countries, and these were all wealthy places close to the Central Plains.

Looking at the territory that had almost shrunk by half, Tian Wu felt uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't want the plans of these princes to come true.

However, Tian Wu also knew very well in his heart that although he acted tough on the surface, the power of Qi alone could not compete with Wei or even the entire alliance of princes.

When he was unable to do anything, Tian Wu subconsciously looked at Xiong Liangfu sitting above him. He hoped that the King of Chu who had just stood up to defend himself could give him another hand.

Xiong Liangfu naturally saw the look Tian Wu was looking at him, but after thinking again and again, he finally did not risk offending all the other princes and stood up to support Qi.

Not only that, he even walked to the map and placed his finger on it, "This time our Chu State sent 60,000 troops and contained most of Qi State's troops in the south. Our Chu State wants to obtain Qi State's Xiapi

To the north, there are cities south of Jucheng."

This sudden stab in the back from Chu State immediately dashed the last glimmer of hope in Tian Wu's heart.

The situation has reached this point, and the princes of various countries have maintained a great tacit understanding for their own interests. Even if Qi State has the intention, it is powerless.

The clenched hands slowly loosened, and after feeling lost for a while, Qi Gong Tian Wu said in a low tone: "I, the State of Qi, can agree to your requests, but I still hope that you can keep Pinglu in the State of Qi. After all,

It is one of the five capitals of our country of Qi."

"It's natural."

With Wei Feng's last words, and with the surrenders of Qin and Qi, this war of unprecedented scale finally came to an end.
