On the bank of Wo River, Gongsun Qi and Zhao Xishe stood opposite each other. The surging river beside them was flowing towards the east.

After a slight bow, Gongsun Qi was the first to speak out: "For two generations of kings, I have stabilized the state of Chu, and your achievements have long been spread to my ears."

"I have longed for Sima to be able to convince people with his words and win in battle." After listening to Gongsun Qi's words, Zhao Xishe immediately responded loudly.

After praising the person in front of him from the bottom of his heart, Gongsun Qi's eyes connected with Zhao Xixie's, and then a hearty smile appeared on the bank of the fertile water.

After a while, the laughter gradually disappeared between heaven and earth, and the two of them looked at the cases that had been placed beside them.

"Your Majesty, please."

"Sima, please."

When he saw Gongsun Qi sitting opposite him after a few cases, Zhao Xixie asked in a deep voice: "I heard that not long ago, the Marquis of Wei invited the Marquis of Zhao and the Marquis of Han to Yecheng, and finally in Zhangshui

The alliance of the three Jins was established beside it."

"May I ask Sima, is this news true?"

"It's true."

Facing Zhao Xishe's gaze across from him, he heard Gongsun Qi say in a deep voice: "Wei, Zhao, and South Korea all came from the Jin State. They are in the same spirit and help each other in offense and defense."

"Due to various misunderstandings over the past decades, there have been not only many discords between the three Jin Dynasties, but also conquests against each other."

"At this moment, all the powerful forces in the world are rising together. This requires that the three Jin Dynasties must end the internal strife in the past and reunite together. Only in this way can we not be underestimated by the princes of the world."

"This time our Wei State formed an alliance with Zhao State and South Korea on the banks of the Zhang River. It not only responded to the earnest expectations of the people of the Three Jin Dynasties, but also conformed to the current changing world situation."

Although Gongsun Qi's voice was not loud, every word was loud and powerful, telling the story very strongly that the alliance between Wei and the Three Jin Dynasties was a feat that complied with the will of heaven and the people.

Even Zhao Xixie, as his opponent, had to admit that there was indeed some truth in what Gongsun Qi said.

However, Zhao Xishe could agree with Gongsun Qi's words, but Chu could not sit back and watch Wei become the leader of the Three Jin Dynasty again.

Just relying on the strong national power of Wei State has already made Chu State full of fear, let alone the three countries of Wei, Zhao and South Korea united in one place.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xixie said in a deep voice: "Sima's words are a bit exaggerated. Wei is one of the most powerful countries in the world, but there are very few princes who can compete with Wei, so why bother?

Are you being looked down upon by the princes of the world?"

In the middle of the conversation, Zhao Xixie suddenly changed the subject, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, "I think the reason why Wei State formed an alliance with Zhao State and South Korea this time is for another reason."

"There are very few princes who can compete with us in the state of Wei, but Ling Yin's words are a compliment to our state in Wei."

After replying to Zhao Xixie, Gongsun Qi immediately began to analyze the countries in the world one by one on the bank of the fertile water.

From the Qi State in the east, which has been repeatedly defeated by the three Jin Dynasties, but has a profound history; to the Qin State in the west, which has emerged from chaos and is quietly rising; to the Yan State in the north, which is rarely famous but has a long history.

At the end of the conversation, Gongsun Qi's eyes were directly on Zhao Xixie who was opposite him, and his words also had a different tone.

"Not to mention anything else, in terms of its vast territory, sufficient soldiers and armor, and strong national power, the Chu State is not weaker than our Wei State at all."

Seeing that Gongsun Qi bluntly brought the topic to the state of Chu after a round of analysis, Zhao Xixie didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Just as Zhao Xishe was thinking in his mind, the next words spoken by Gongsun Qi opposite him suddenly made Yin, the commander of the Chu Kingdom, stunned.

"I think that the Chu State has always regarded the Wei State as its enemy and the Central Plains as its strategic target. It is really not a wise move."

The surprise on Zhao Xixie's face flashed away, and then he couldn't help but look at Gongsun Qi across from him with a bit of solemnity.

"Why did Sima say this?"

Faced with Zhao Xixie's question, Gongsun Qi immediately took it for granted, "Just like what Ling Yin just said, although our Wei State is not as large as Chu State, it still has a good

strength."

"If the Chu State insists on fighting with our Wei State, then not only will it be unable to gain benefits, but it will even cause a lose-lose situation for both parties."

"This is something neither Wei nor Chu want, but the other princes are happy to see."

Halfway through his words, Gongsun Qi secretly looked towards the opposite side.

When he saw that Zhao Xishi was listening attentively, with a look of contemplation on his face from time to time, Gongsun Qi's mouth curved.

It was obvious that the rhythm of the conversation between the two was completely controlled by Gongsun Qi.

Gongsun Qi gently suppressed the smile on his face, and then listened to Gongsun Qi continue to say: "The land of the Central Plains has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. As long as there is a slight disturbance, the princes of the world will not respond."

"The Chu State chose the Central Plains as its strategic target to put itself under the gaze of the world. If it is not careful, it will attract the princes to attack it."

At the end of the conversation, Gongsun Qi's eyes fell on Zhao Xixie opposite him, and he heard him ask softly: "Does Ling Yin think what I just said is right or wrong?"

Through understanding the strength of the Wei state and the situation in the world, Zhao Xixie believed that Gongsun Qi's words were undoubtedly correct.

If the Chu State insists on going north to conquer the Central Plains, it will inevitably be blocked by the powerful Wei State and even the entire Three Jin Dynasties, and there will inevitably be a fight between the two sides.

At that time, even if the Chu State can really gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Three Jins, it may not necessarily gain any benefits.

Since the road ahead is full of difficulties, it would be better to give up on the Central Plains and focus on expansion in other directions.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Xishe looked at Gongsun Qi opposite and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Gongsun, where do you think our country of Chu should target our strategy?"

It was obvious that Zhao Xishi's understanding of Gongsun Qi had been raised to a new level after the conversation just now.

Not only did he change the title of Gongsun Qi from Sima to a more respectful name, Mr., but he couldn't help but express a bit of admiration in his words of inquiry.

After hearing Zhao Xixie's inquiry, Gongsun Qi thought for a moment and slowly named a place, "The land of Huaisi."

"The land of Huaisi?"

After hearing the answer given by Gongsun Qi, Zhao Xixie showed a bit of joy on his face after thinking about it for a while.

This is indeed a good choice.

In terms of wealth, although the land of Huaisi is not as good as the Central Plains, it can still be said to be rich in products.

More importantly, the Yue State, which now controls most of Huaisi, has just experienced a civil strife. Its strength has been greatly weakened, and it is simply unable to compete with the powerful Chu State at the moment.

If the entire Chu State makes concerted efforts to advance eastwards, it is entirely possible to capture most of the wealth of the Huaisi land, and the Chu State's national power will surely be greatly improved by then.

When his thoughts flowed here, Zhao Xixie immediately stood up from behind a few cases and bowed to Gongsun Qi in front of him.

"Thank you Mr. Gongsun for your advice."
