Chapter 206 The three-year period
When everyone heard Liu Hao's words, they were speechless. But when they came back to their senses and thought about it, they seemed to think that it was reasonable for Qin to do this.
Finally, Wei Du spoke up and said, "Since King Qin wants to guard the western border, then on behalf of the people of Zhou Dynasty, I would like to thank King Qin for his efforts."
"The King of Wei is so polite. This is what Qin should do." Liu Hao also nodded to Wei Du.
After Liu Hao retreated, Wu Fa, who was sent to protect Zhou, looked at Rong Jue again and said, "Master Jue, where are you? Don't forget, your sister is still the queen of Da Zhou."
Rong Jue was watching the show on the sidelines. When he heard Wu Fa's roll call, he cursed in his heart, and then slowly said, "This matter needs to be reported to my father before I can decide."
"In that case, then go back and report to your father as soon as possible." Wu Fa waved his hand and said to Rong Jue.
Liu Hao just looked at the positions of the princes and secretly made a note of the princes who could cooperate with him in the future.
But seeing the anger among everyone growing more and more, almost reaching the point of tense situation, Liu Hao stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, please listen to me."
Everyone turned around and looked at Liu Hao.
Liu Hao stood up slowly and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, let me say something that shouldn't be said. What you did here did not take Da Zhou seriously at all. You must know that Da Zhou is still
What the people want.
After all, the prestige that the Zhou Dynasty has accumulated for eight hundred years is not just talk. Instead of talking about it here, why don't you go back and think about how to treat the people? Only when the people want it, can they be invincible."
After everyone heard this, they felt that what Liu Hao said was very reasonable.
After all, the Great Zhou existed for more than 800 years. Although the Great Zhou's control over the princes became weaker and weaker, the former glory made every citizen of the Great Zhou proud.
If the princes from all walks of life want to rise up and resist the Zhou Dynasty, they may have unstable public sentiment in their own country.
Then Liu Hao saw that everyone stopped talking, so he continued, "How about this, let's make a gentleman's agreement. The kings of Wei and Qi want to clear the emperor's side, and the kings of Jin and Wu want to support Zhou. Why don't all the princes in the world stop fighting for three years."
On the one hand, we give His Majesty three years to clear the temple. On the other hand, the princes can also rest and recuperate. After all, the civil war in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been going on for hundreds of years, and the people have been displaced. Give some more time to let the people slow down. I feel sorry for you.
Well, how about it?
If the Great Zhou Dynasty is still like this three years later, then our alliance will be on the Qingjun side?"
"Prince Qin! You!" Wu Fa pointed at Liu Hao's nose and was about to curse, but was immediately stopped by Prince Jin behind him.
"What are you going to do! Are you also colluding with them?" After Wu Fa was pulled by Zixu, he immediately turned to Zixu and asked.
"King Wu, what King Qin said makes sense, he is helping us!" Zixu whispered in Wu Fa's ear.
"What do you mean?" Wu Fa asked.
"The King of Qin is buying time for us!" Zixu continued, "Looking at the situation now, we are at a disadvantage. If we start a war now, it will be difficult for us to win.
If you follow us for three years, we can recruit more soldiers, and we can also win over other princes to connect our sphere of influence, and the general trend is set!"
When Wu Fa heard Zixu's words, he immediately reacted.
When Wei Du heard Liu Hao's words, he frowned. He didn't understand why Liu Hao would say such things.
Doesn't he know that by doing this, he is giving Da Zhou time to prepare?
But when he saw Liu Hao winking at him, and thought about Liu Hao's words carefully, he immediately understood what Liu Hao meant.
Now, although his faction has a large number of people and strong troops and horses, the people's sentiment is unstable. If we immediately rebel against Zhou, there will be continuous resistance in the country.
Therefore, he also needed time to rectify the public sentiment in the country. At least he had to make the people no longer resent the attack on Zhou before he could send troops.
Otherwise, if a large army is sent out, King Wu and the others only need a few spies to spread rumors in their own city, which will be enough for them.
As for doing this, it would give the Zhou Dynasty time to react, but compared to the instability of the people in the country, it is much better. After all, most of the princes now agree to replace Zhou.
"Okay! King Gu agrees with King Qin." Wei Du said first.
"I agree too!" Wu Fa followed suit.
After finishing speaking, Wu Fa waved his sleeves at Wei Du and snorted coldly.
Liu Hao hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "In that case, let's call it a day and let everyone return to their respective territories. How about that?"
After Wei Du heard this, he cupped his hands directly to Liu Hao and walked towards the backyard.
Even the guests he entertained were thrown aside and ignored.
King Qi also nodded to Liu Hao and left.
When the other princes and kings saw the host of the banquet, they also left. They felt that it was pointless to stay here any longer, so they all left one after another.
Liu Hao looked at the princes who kept leaving, just shook his head and left the hall.
After returning to the other hospital, Liu Hao stopped Liu Yu and said to him, "Go and get ready. We will set off back to China early tomorrow morning."
"Here!" Liu Yu quickly nodded in agreement.
After a night of silence, Liu Hao had already boasted about his war horse early the next morning and was preparing to meet Qin.
But just ten miles out of the city, Liu Hao saw Rong Jue waiting for him in front.
"Brother Rong, why are you here so early?" Liu Hao asked from above.
"Brother Liu is so unreasonable. He provoked a decisive battle among the princes with just a few words, and then ran back to Qin." Rong Jue said with a smile.
"Brother Rong, I have told you many times, familiarity will come, but don't slander me." Liu Hao also shook his head and said.
"Isn't it?" Rong Jue asked.
"Yes." Liu Hao nodded and admitted.
"Then why do you say I'm slanderous?"
"But there are some things that you just need to know, why bother saying them?" Liu Hao looked at Rong Jue speechlessly.
"By the way, you haven't said yet what you are doing here so early."
"Of course I'm waiting for you, otherwise what would I be doing here?" Rong Jue said, rolling his eyes.
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me for?"
Rong Jue did not answer immediately, but took a step forward, walked to Liu Hao, lay beside Liu Hao's ear and said, "My father wants to see you."
"Your father, King Rong?"
"Yes." Rong Jue nodded.
After receiving the affirmation, Liu Hao also frowned. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said to Rong Jue, "Prince Rong is here, I should go and see him."
"Let's go then." Rong Jue said, turned around, and headed away with his guards. Liu Hao could only follow.
After running for two hours, Liu Hao followed Rong Jue to a beautiful valley.
"Brother Liu, let's go quickly. My father is at the top of that mountain." Rong Jue pointed to a small mountain peak not far away.
Rong Jue led Liu Hao to the foot of the mountain, got off his horse, and threw the riding whip directly to the guards on the side.
