A report sounded in the Chu palace, and Qi envoy Zou Ji followed the chamberlain and stood in front of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu.

Xiong Liangfu deliberately looked dissatisfied with the Qi envoy who came all the way from Linzi.

Seeing the King of Chu above doing this, Zou Ji quickly stepped forward to explain.

In fact, before entering the hall, Zou Ji had already expected that something like this would happen at this moment.

After all, Chu, as an ally, sent troops to help Qi when the situation was most critical, but Qi made peace with Wei and Zhao on its own without notifying Chu in private.

By using oneself to save others and putting himself above the position of the King of Chu, Zou Ji thought that he would also be dissatisfied with Qi's actions.

However, sometimes things do not depend on human will. The precarious war situation ahead forced Qi to make compromises with Wei and Zhao.

Now that the war that lasted for more than a year is finally coming to an end, Qi will have time to face the wrath of Chu.

Although he had expected it before, Xiong Liangfu's growing anger still filled Zou Ji's heart with worry.

Standing up from the throne, Xiong Liangfu almost pointed at his nose and scolded Qi, and even expressed the idea of ​​​​severing the alliance with Qi.

Seeing that the situation was almost out of control, Zou Ji quickly told Xiong Liangfu again about Qi's helplessness.

From the state of Qi facing the three-sided attack by the coalition forces of Wei, Zhao, Han, Yue and other princes, to the time when the Qi army faced the Zhao army and lost first to Gaotang, it was defeated again and again;

From the time when Zhao saw the gains on the front line and continued to increase its troops, to when Wei's army to conquer Qin had returned to Daliang, it was possible to move eastward at any time.

All in all, Qi State can no longer fight in Zou Ji's words, otherwise it may become the next Qin State.

It seems that because of Zou Ji's eloquent words, Xiong Liangfu sat back on the throne, and most of the anger on his face disappeared.

In fact, because of his previous conversation with Ling Yin Zhao Xixie, although Xiong Liangfu was dissatisfied with Qi State, he was not unable to understand the choice of Qi State's monarchs and ministers.

As one of the founders of the Xuanwei Rule of Chu, Xiong Liangfu's vision and ability were not inferior among the many Chu kings.

After some analysis by Zhao Xixie, Xiong Liangfu was able to see clearly the changes in the current world situation.

After seizing the Guanzhong land owned by Qin, Wei's national power could be said to be unparalleled among other countries.

Facing the Wei State, which has continuously expanded its territory over the years, even the Chu State, whose territory spans thousands of miles, can't help but feel full of vigilance.

At present, Wei State is no longer a single country in the world that can compete with it, not to mention that in order to attack Qi State, Wei State has also attracted allies such as Han and Zhao to attack in the east and west.

Facing such a powerful force, even the richest nation of Qi, Xiong Liangfu didn't think there was much hope of victory.

Moreover, Xiong Liangfu was unwilling to give up Qi as an ally and face the powerful Wei alone.

However, understanding is understanding, and if you cannot give up, you cannot give up. The necessary beating for Qi State is still needed, so this is why the furious King of Chu just came into being.

After Zou Ji finished speaking, Xiong Liangfu said angrily that there would be no next time, and then suddenly the conversation changed and he talked about another thing.

…

This meeting in Yingdu City also announced that the war caused by the change of power in Qi State was gradually coming to an end.

Looking at the course of the entire war, it is not difficult to find that there were two who suffered the greatest losses.

One is the Qin State in the west, and the other is the Qi State on the coast of the East China Sea.

The Qin State, which was the main target of the Wei State this time, not only suffered a complete defeat on the battlefield, but even the base of Guanzhong fell completely into the hands of the Wei State.

The Qin State, which retreated to Longxi, could only surrender to the Wei State while silently licking its bleeding wounds.

The Qin State in the west suffered heavy losses, and the Qi State in the east also paid a huge price for this war.

Qi State exchanged a large area of ​​territory west of Jishui for an armistice with Zhao State; it exchanged Qingshi Xiongguan for the withdrawal of the coalition forces.

Not only that, under the pressure of many princes, Qi State also used a large amount of national treasury and private wealth to pay for the military expenses of other countries to send troops to Qi State.

He used the money he had in exchange for other countries to attack him, and he couldn't blame Qi Gongtian because Qi Hui was so angry because of this incident.

It can be said that the Qi State has been severely injured after experiencing this war. Although the situation is better than that of the Five Kingdoms in another time and space, it is not much better.

Qin and Qi, the two losers in the war, chose to seek peace, while Chu, which had not suffered much losses, chose to retreat.

As for the victors led by Wei and Zhao, they either returned to their own countries with the acquired land or with rich wealth.

At this point, the war finally came to an end, and peace was restored to the world.

…

Wei State, Anyi.

Today, Anyi looks a little special, and a warm atmosphere seems to permeate the entire capital.

The courtiers sitting in the seats seemed to feel the same atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable smiles.

When Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, dressed in a red robe of a prince, appeared in the hall, everyone's eyes invariably flashed a glimmer of light.

When everyone present's eyes focused on him, Wei Feng announced the theme of today's court meeting with a somewhat majestic voice.

Discuss merit and reward.

When Wei Feng's announcement fell, Pang Juan and Sun Boling, who had made the greatest contribution in the war between Wei and Qin, took the lead to stand up.

Pang Juan was the first to achieve success by defeating the main force of the Qin army on the banks of the Jing River and leading his army to capture most of the land in Guanzhong.

In order to reward Pang Juan for his contribution, Wei Feng named him Lord Zhiyang, and the fiefdom was expanded to 5,000 hectares.

The second hero under Pang Juan was undoubtedly Sun Boling, who led his army to a surprise attack on Wuzhi Fortress, wiped out all the reinforcements, and then pressed Yongdu, severely damaging the remnants of the Qin army.

In order to reward Sun Boling for his military exploits, Wei Feng named him Lord Guyang, and the fiefdom was expanded to four thousand hectares.

In addition to these two who made the greatest contributions in the war, ministers with meritorious services such as Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, Situ Gongsun Yang, and Senior Minister Xu Yan also received rewards.

After receiving a generous reward, most of the courtiers were envious, and many were eager to show off their talents next time.

Among these courtiers who had a positive attitude, there were also some gloomy expressions.

That night, in order to celebrate Wei's great victory and to reward the heroes, Wei Feng held a celebration banquet in the palace.

At the banquet, everyone drank and drank, and the warm atmosphere reached its peak with Yi Juejue's fine wine.
