Looking at Xiong Wuliang's red eyes, Fei Yi felt very guilty——
Why!
Too!
Just imagine how prestigious Quyang Hou is - since he can intimidate other countries, he must be a person of high moral character and integrity, how can he be that kind of villain who is unfaithful and unrighteous?
I, Feiyi, deserve to die!
Look, how angry I have made the Qu Yanghou in front of me?
For such a great nobleman and prince who values his reputation more than his life, his previous doubts were undoubtedly like an insult to his character!
Recall——
He actually pointed his nose in front of this noble and upright monarch and said that he was going to break the covenant...
Thinking of this, Fei Yi felt his old face burning up...
Damn me!
I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights!
Fei Yi bowed and apologized repeatedly... Only then did Xiong Wuliang's mood become 'slightly stable'
Xiong Wuliang's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was slightly trembling as he said: "Feiyi, what you said earlier made me feel deeply ashamed... I should have beaten you with a stick and sent a letter to Handan and your family Zhao." Yong Yi discusses his superiority..."
Xiong Wuliang choked with sobs in his throat, and finally let out a long sigh: "That's alright!"
"I have long admired King Zhao's charisma and state-governing ability. In addition, Zhao is our friendly ally of Chu after all..."
"Let's put aside today's matter for now! If there is a next time, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Fei Yi was so moved that he almost shed tears!
Oh my God!
Look at Qu Yanghou, he was so angry with himself that he was about to shed tears... but he still magnanimously raised it high and put it down gently... Such a magnanimous and magnanimous person is really a moral role model for me.
"Your Majesty is so righteous, and my foreign ministers respect you!" Fei Yi praised him sincerely... His eyes rolled around for a long time, and finally he couldn't hold himself back, and asked in a low voice: "Please forgive me, your Majesty, but my foreign ministers still have to be brave enough to ask. ——Since we are not fighting against an enemy country...well, then why do you want to withdraw the Chu troops stationed on the border?"
"The three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han, without the restraint of the Chu army... all moved their troops to the north."
"As a result, the war in our Zhao country has become tense, and we have suffered several hidden losses recently!"
"There must be a secret behind the monarch's arrangement... Fei Yi is definitely not doubting the monarch's motives, nor is he questioning him harshly - he just needs to ask clearly. Only after he returns to the country can the foreign ministers report to our king... …”
Fei Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he even felt a little guilty——
cough!
He was so angry with me just now, but in the end he generously forgave his doubts and offenses.
But I really don't know what's going on - I still look like I'm going to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
Thinking of this, Fei Yi's old face turned red with dryness. In shame, he almost didn't dare to raise his head and look at Xiong Wuliang.
But... I came to Chu State in an aggressive manner, with the purpose of asking clearly about the situation and ordering Chu State to continue to contain the three countries of Qin, Wei and Han... If I just go back like this, I really can't communicate with Zhao Yong.
Facing Xiong Wuliang's faint gaze, Fei Yi could only bite the bullet and sigh in his heart.
I feel deeply guilty for the Chu State, especially for Xiong Liang, the Marquis of Quyang.
…
The silence lasted for so long that Fei Yi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
It felt like there were ten thousand ants crawling on my body!
In the end, Marquis Quyang sighed slightly and broke the silence in the room... Xiong Wuliang seemed to have made some important decision and said slowly: "That's all."
"This is the secret of my country, Dachu, and I couldn't reveal it originally."
"Since General Fei Yi wants to ask again and again, I might as well just say it!"
When Fei Yi heard this, you can imagine how he felt in his heart - half guilty, half grateful.
I saw Xiong Wuliang pondering, pacing around the room twice, then his face turned slightly red, and he said softly as if he was having trouble speaking: "I am not hiding anything from the general -"
"Since the war last year, Sima Cuo's coalition forces have been raging in the hinterland of Chu... burning and killing countless people."
"Although I finally annihilated the enemy army, my national power has also been greatly reduced."
"Today's Da Chu State Treasury is empty... I went to inspect a few days ago, and I actually saw rats that starved to death in the warehouse..." Xiong Wuliang said, but he choked up again: "Those rats are hungry. Skinny and bones—I couldn’t bear to see it!"
"A mere mouse, but with half a handful of corn, it could survive - but it starved to death."
"How miserable will the millions of refugees in our country be?"
Xiong Wuliang sighed, heartbroken.
Fei Yi nodded sympathetically.
He also understands this situation - the Qin army's military discipline has always been very poor, and it is famous among other countries. Otherwise, the six kingdoms of Shandong would not hate this Xirong barbarian with the same hatred.
Last year, Sima Cuo invaded the hinterland of Chu State, and there must have been a lot of burning, killing and looting.
It is reasonable for Chu State to be in trouble.
"What Junhou means..." Fei Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he seemed to understand something.
Xiong Wuliang nodded heavily: "Not bad!"
"There is no food in the national treasury. Even the most basic corn used to maintain the border guards cannot be squeezed out!"
"I hope General Feiyi will keep it secret for my great Chu!"
After hearing this, Fei Yi was both happy and grateful——
The good news is that the Chu State withdrew its border soldiers not because of any smugness or collusion with Qin, Wei, and Han... but simply because of a lack of military rations.
What I am grateful for is that the national treasury is short of military rations. This is a major secret of a country and must not be leaked to outsiders. Otherwise, if neighboring countries get the information and take advantage of it, wouldn't they suffer a big disaster?
He even told himself such important information!
Marquis Quyang, this is such a kind man!
I actually doubted him before...I am really not a human being!
Fei Yi couldn't care less about his guilt for a moment, and said hurriedly: "I understand what the Lord means - that is to say, the Chu State withdrew its border troops because of lack of food and grass, and no other reason!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded heavily.
Fei Yi couldn't help but scratch his head and head... Chu State has no food? This information is extremely important...
Fei Yi had no doubt - if the State of Zhao was bordering the State of Chu, the sixth monarch of his family would immediately stop the current war with Qin, Wei and Han, turn around in overjoyed, and beat up the State of Chu!
It's a pity that the State of Zhao and the State of Chu are thousands of miles apart.
Even if the Chu State is empty, it will not be our Zhao State’s turn to take such a bite of fat.
Fei Yi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and raised his eyebrows suddenly: "In other words, as long as the Chu State has sufficient food and grass, it can send troops to the border again? Can it assist our country, Great Zhao, in containing the enemy?"
Xiong Wuliang was startled when he heard this, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Of course...this is a clear stipulation of the covenant between the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu and Qi. If I don't really have no choice, how can I ignore it?"
"General Feiyi means..."
Fei Yi waved his hand with great pride——
