Originally, the territories of Qi, Lu, and Zhu were very interesting.
The state of Qi surrounded the state of Lu like a pocket, and the state of Lu surrounded the state of Zhu like a pocket.
In addition, the situation in the Three Kingdoms is also very delicate.
Zhu State was favored by Qi State because it supported Qi State's hegemony and actively worked for it.
Later, after Duke Huan of Qi became hegemonic, he asked the King of Zhou for a title and was given the title.
Because of this, Zhu State has always been very close to Qi State.
Even though the relationship is now bad, Qi often invades and plunders Zhu, but it is not destroyed like other countries.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu State had been at odds with Lu State, and there had been constant friction.
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Gong agreed to help Lingguo apply for a title.
Now that the Ling State has destroyed the Zhu State that was against the Lu State, the Lu State is naturally happy to be relieved of its worries.
It's just that Duke Lu and Uncle Ji are worried that Lingguo will be like Zhu and stab him in the back.
Only then did Chen Bing march to the border, hoping to intimidate Lingguo.
Fortunately, Wen Renli arrived in Qufu in time and successfully persuaded Duke Lu to stop the army and agree to the alliance with him.
After confirming Teng Gong Ji Hong's intention.
Lingqing, Lu Gong Ji Shu, and Teng Gong Ji Hong agreed to hold an alliance in Yicheng, the original capital of Zhu State, and agreed to fight against Qi together.
Correct
It was also at this time that Ling Qing saw for the first time the effects of other princes and kings cultivating the true form of the gods.
Teng Gong Ji Hong is not very old, he looks less than thirty.
He opened his Dongzhen Dharma Eyes and looked around, only to see auspicious clouds forming on his body, a faint clear light, and a peaceful aura all over his body.
At first glance, it seems that he has gained the trust of the people, and he is truly worthy of being called a "virtuous king".
But in the end, the shortcomings of the true form of the god cannot be avoided. There are still traces of black and red energy lingering in the clear light and auspicious clouds.
As for Uncle Lu Gongji, who has refined the true form of the god into the protector of the country, the aura on his body is much clearer.
The aura on his body was not as strong as Ji Hong's, but Ling Qing could see a wisp of fresh air rising above his head, reaching straight into the sky.
And there is a god who is very similar to the ceremonial god of Lingguo, but much more majestic, sitting in it.
When Ling Qing looked over, he seemed to be aware of it and lowered his head to look down at him.
At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
A burst of clear light flashed across Lingqing's body, which was refined by the "Spiritual Talisman Method of Merit and Virtue", and erased this emotion.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The mountains never get too high, and the sea never gets too deep; the Duke of Zhou spits out food, and the world returns to its heart."
Mr. Cao is indeed honest and does not deceive others. "
That divine king was naturally made by Uncle Ji using the true form of Duke Zhou.
Unlike Ling Qing, who changed hands a few times and borrowed the authority of etiquette.
Uncle Ji is the direct descendant of Duke Zhou, and has accumulated rich heritage from the Lu Kingdom for nearly a thousand years.
The divine king he refined was naturally much more powerful than the God of Ceremony from the Ling Kingdom.
When Lingqing looked at Uncle Ji and Ji Hong, they also kept looking at him.
However, in just over a year, Lingguo was transformed from a vassal country less than ten miles away in his hands.
He successfully destroyed Zhu State and obtained its fiefdom.
It suddenly became a big country around Taiyue, second only to Qi and Lu.
This naturally makes people look at it differently.
Ji Hong looked at Ling Qing and couldn't help but said: "I've always heard that Duke Ling is wise, courageous, and determined to rule. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
Although he wanted to strengthen the Teng Kingdom, Mencius, whom he highly respected, said that it would be enough if he could govern the Teng Kingdom with a radius of fifty miles.
Nowadays, he has only achieved initial results in governing Teng Kingdom, and this Linggong, who is much younger than him, has already managed Ling Kingdom to surpass Teng Kingdom by far.
"Teng Gong made false praises. Thanks to Mencius's guidance, Teng Gong's reputation has spread far and wide, and the revitalization of Teng's country is just around the corner."
Lingqing was humble at first, and then praised him.
"Both of you are heroes for a while, so don't be humble to each other here."
Uncle Ji on the side interrupted with a smile.
"You and I, the three countries, are all surrounded by Qi and Song. Now we must work together to protect the country and continue to worship."
At this time, Qi State was at its most powerful.
King Xuan of Qi wanted to dominate the world, so he had always been very aggressive and aggressive.
The Song Dynasty was also more powerful than ever since the Warring States Period.
King Kang of Song Dynasty was strong in martial arts and wanted to test the world. Now he is even more eyeing on Teng Kingdom.
The Chu State in the south was not only eager to attack Qi State, but was also constantly encroaching northward.
The combined territory of the three small states of Lu, Ling, and Teng cannot catch up with the smallest state of Song, let alone Qi and Chu.
Being at the junction of the three countries can be said to be in danger.
In fact, if Lingqing was not there, the Teng State would be destroyed by the Song State before long, and the Zhu State would also be destroyed by the Chu State not long after.
The only remaining state of Lu only stayed for another twenty or thirty years and was also destroyed by the state of Chu.
Of course, the Song State could not beg for it, and was finally destroyed by the Qi State, Chu State, and Wei State.
In view of this, the three countries formally formed an alliance, with Lu as the leader.
At this time, the state of Lu had 3,000 chariots, and the state of Teng had 100 chariots.
Although the Ling Kingdom is now larger than the Teng Kingdom, it is only sixty times larger.
However, as XJ soil is completely digested, it will naturally develop.
At this moment, under the co-presidance of the ceremonial officials of the three countries, the alliance ceremony began.
First, the soldiers were ordered to dig a square pit, slaughter the sacrifices in it, and write the alliance letter with the blood of the sacrifices.
Under the leadership of the leader of the alliance, Uncle Ji, Lingqing and three others took the blood of the sacrifice and smeared it on their lips. They read out the alliance letter and took the oath in the presence of the true gods of the Three Kingdoms.
They agreed to advance together and retreat together to fight against the Qi and Song Dynasties.
The moment the oath ended, each of the three people had a spirit that shot straight into the sky.
In mid-air, a national destiny intertwined together and turned into a shackles of oath.
Whoever betrays the alliance first will be punished.
After the alliance, a banquet was held to celebrate under the auspices of Yan Ru.
This was originally the capital of Zhu State, and a large amount of wealth collected by Cao Kong before was accumulated here.
The palace is also built magnificently, and it is not too shabby to be used for holding alliance banquets.
During this period, Lingqing also handed over to Ji Hong the method of worshiping and refining the true form of the god to become the protector of the country.
Although the Teng Kingdom is weak, it has a long heritage and has a heritage of nearly 800 years.
Presumably it won't take long for Lingqing to get another divine edict.
When he returned to Lingqiu City, Tian Wen also returned from his mission to Qi and Chu.
He did not live up to his reputation that had been passed down for thousands of years. Although he was still young at this time, he was also beginning to show his prowess.
After success, Qi and Chu started to argue over the land of Xuecheng.
It was precisely because of this war that Qi State used most of its troops to prepare for Chu's Northern Expedition.
There was no time to take into account the alliance between the three countries, so the alliance was held smoothly.
After the three kingdoms formed an alliance, the Lu State no longer had to guard against the Zhu State and could free up its hands, which immediately greatly increased its own combat effectiveness.
In addition, Teng and Ling worked together, and the battle of Xuecheng affected Qi's energy.
Qi State did not dare to send troops to the Three Kingdoms easily.
The four countries have reached unprecedented peace.
Another year passed like this. (To be continued)
