Wu Ju's advice can be said to have gone directly into Wang Ziwei's heart.
Setting up an alliance can also make up for the "grievance" his prince Wei suffered this time in Zhengyi.
However, problems came one after another. Where should the alliance venue be chosen?
At this time, Bozhou Li, who couldn't see Wu Ju being so prominent, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think that since I have decided to meet with the princes, I must not be careless in selecting the location, but must be cautious. In my opinion, it is better to be at the border of our Chu State, or at the junction of Zheng and Chu, so as to ensure It’s foolproof.”
Holding an alliance meeting is not a simple matter. It requires inviting princes from various countries to come with their armies.
Although the various princes participating in the alliance will not bring many people, but together, the threat is not small.
If we choose a place far away from the Chu Kingdom, wouldn't Prince Wei's wealth and life be in danger if the princes with ulterior motives secretly take action?
Besides, since it is to show the strength of Chu Xiong, it is naturally the most appropriate place to choose it within the Chu Kingdom.
In this regard, Wu Ju did not say much and directly seconded the proposal.
Because he knew that Ling Yin would never agree.
He really knew Wang Ziwei very well.
Sure enough, as soon as Bo Zhouli finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by Wang Ziwei.
"Hmph! Since I want to convene an alliance of princes from all over the world, how can I be so timid?"
"In my opinion, the location for this alliance meeting should be Guodi!"
Wang Ziwei's face was filled with determination.
But this time, after hearing this, all the doctors present opened their mouths and took a breath, with astonishment on their faces.
"Guo Di?! That...that's the gateway to the Jin Kingdom!"
"Yes! This place goes deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains. Since the founding of Chu, no one has been able to reach such a place! Then wouldn't this trip be a narrow escape!"
"Yes, yes! Meeting an alliance in Guodi is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!"
Guo Di is located in the north of Zheng State. It is the gateway for the Jin State to enter and exit the Central Plains. To the west, you can enter the Jin Dynasty, and to the east, you can enter the Wei and Song Dynasties.
This place is really too far away from Chu State, but too close to Jin State!
Wouldn't choosing such a place to hold the alliance give Jin a god-given opportunity to humiliate Chu?
If the Jin State really does not respect martial ethics, let alone an alliance, it may be a question whether Prince Wei can return to the Chu State alive.
As a result, within the camp, the voices of opposition from the officials were endless.
After all, they are all going to hang out with the prince. Once something happens to the prince, they will all follow him to the end.
But who knew that Wang Ziwei's attitude was very determined and he would not listen to anyone's opinions at all, and resolutely decided to choose "Guo" as the location for the alliance.
Yes, this is the fierceness of Wang Ziwei.
Whenever he decided on something, whenever he made up his mind, even if the entire Chu State opposed it, it would be of no avail.
He is so self-willed and arbitrary.
Of course, as the person who knew Wang Ziwei best, Wu Ju quickly saw the deeper intention of Wang Ziwei, so he laughed wildly in the hall:
"Hahaha, everyone, our Lord Yin is wise and powerful! Choosing Guo Di as the place for the alliance meeting is definitely not a child's play! If you follow what Bo Zhouli said, choosing Chu Di for the alliance meeting is absolutely foolproof. There are actually two harms. Although it seems dangerous to choose Guo Di to form an alliance, it has three benefits. I would like to ask you to listen attentively to this discussion..."
"If, as Bo Zhouli said, we choose to hold the alliance meeting on the border of our Chu country, this will not show the sincerity of our Chu country's alliance meeting. The princes may not dare to come to the meeting because they are afraid that I will strengthen Chu. If they don't come to participate then, it will bring shame on ourselves. Secondly, if the alliance meeting is held on the border of Chu, how will it be different from Pingqiu of Jin? Since we Chu people are going to hold an alliance meeting, The purpose is nothing more than to compete with the Pingqiu Association! If there is no difference, then wouldn’t this alliance be meaningless? This is two evils!"
"In addition, there are three advantages in choosing Guo Di. First, Guo Di is the gateway to the Jin State, but it is far away from our Chu District. If the Jin State does not even dare to come here to hold an alliance meeting, then it is enough. This is ridiculous. Therefore, I predict that Jin will definitely come! Secondly, choosing this place can also reflect the sincerity of our Chu country in inviting the princes to come to the alliance. Guo is far away from Chu, and the princes have no worries. And as long as the Jin State is willing to come, why are we afraid that other princes will not come? When all the princes in the world gather together, won’t their prestige directly surpass that of Pingqiu?”
"As for the third benefit, haha... Ling Yin made the decision to hold this alliance meeting in Guodi. It will not only demonstrate Ling Yin's broadmindedness and courage, but also suppress the rumors in the country and let the small and powerful people in the country Please shut up completely."
After Wu Ju finished speaking, Wang Ziwei couldn't help but feel proud on his face.
Wu Ju's words revealed everything that it was inconvenient for Prince Wei to say. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Wu Ju was the roundworm in his prince Wei's belly.
Yes, the prince chose to hold the alliance meeting in Guodi for these three points!
At the Pingqiu meeting, your Jin country became famous, right?
This time I am holding an alliance meeting in Guodi. I, Chu Xiong, and my prince Wei will be a hundred times more glorious than you! Hey, just asking are you angry?
On the road to compete with the Jin State, the Chu State has never slacked off for hundreds of years. And his prince, Wei, was thinking day and night about how to restore the former glory of his country of Chu.
Of course, doing so would also be of great benefit to Wang Ziwei himself.
"Ah! So that's it! The old minister is indeed stupid."
"Lord Yin is so wise that I am ashamed of myself."
When all the ministers and officials of Chu State heard this, they were suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but marvel at their lord's talent and strategy.
Therefore, that night, Wang Ziwei immediately sent people to various countries to inform them that an alliance meeting would be held in Guodi three months later, and asked all the vassal states to send people to participate in accordance with the Song Alliance's oath.
…
At this time, Wang Ziwei had not yet left the state of Zheng. Therefore, Zheng Guo was naturally the first to know about the alliance meeting held in Guo.
After receiving the news, the entire country of Zheng was shocked.
Of course, there is also someone who is not shocked, and that is Feng Duan.
After all, now he is the real father-in-law of Wang Ziwei, and his son-in-law is going to preside over the World Alliance. How can he, the father-in-law, not stand up and shout?
Therefore, during the court meeting of Zheng Guo, Feng Duan naturally supported Wang Ziwei. He believed that Zheng Guo should abide by the agreement of the Song Alliance and go to participate in this alliance meeting.
"Chu's power is growing day by day, and it is very far away from Zheng State. We went to Pingqiu to participate in the alliance meeting a few days ago, but if we don't go to Guo to participate in the alliance meeting now, Chu State will definitely hold a grudge in the future."
"Si also thinks that we must go this time, and we must not give the Chu State an excuse to attack us!"
There is no doubt that Sihei supports Feng Duan and Qin Chu.
But when Zichan on the side saw this, he naturally objected:
"The reason why the princes are sieging and holding an alliance meeting is that they want all the vassal states to attach themselves to Chu and alienate Jin. This is really harboring evil intentions! By then, if our Zheng state is guilty of Jin because of this, wouldn't it be Are we going to go back to the same old path again? And if we are so broken, how will our country, Zheng, regard itself as a country with the surname Ji in the future?!"
"Moreover, Prince Chu of Wei has always been domineering and arrogant. Even if we go to participate in the alliance this time, he may not be able to treat me as a brother of Zheng in the future. I think that Zheng will definitely not be able to go forward." Go get involved!”
Zichan naturally couldn't explain some things clearly in front of all the ministers.
In fact, what he was really afraid of was not Wang Ziwei's domineering attitude, but Feng Duan's ambition.
