In the main hall of the King's Palace of Chu, after Ye Yun stood up and expressed that he could serve as the commander of the coalition forces, the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
The kings of various countries looked at Ye Yun with blank expressions. They never expected that Ye Yun would recommend themselves.
Doesn't he have any self-awareness?
At this moment, several kings could not help but secretly think in their hearts that a young brat could dare to say such shameless words.
King Chu was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Ye Yun and said with undisguised sarcasm in his tone:
"King Xia, you said you are qualified to command the coalition forces."
"Then I would like to know, what ability do you have to say such big words?"
Facing King Chu's words, Ye Yun's expression did not change at all. He replied in a calm tone:
"Whether it's military strategy or martial arts strength,"
"I think I'm qualified to serve."
Ye Yun's tone was very calm, just telling a fact.
But as soon as he finished speaking, King Chu couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at Ye Yun as if he was looking at a clown.
A man who was less than twenty years old actually said that his military strategy and martial arts prowess were enough to lead the coalition forces.
This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Xiang Tian, the marshal of Chu State, has been in the army for more than fifty years since he was a child. During this period, he has experienced countless battles, large and small, and has never failed once.
Moreover, he is not only the strongest person in the Chu Kingdom, but also the strongest person recognized by all the countries in the southeast region.
Ye Yun, at such a young age, actually felt that he was stronger than his innate abilities!
At this time, not only the King of Chu, but also the kings of other countries looked at Ye Yun with a joking expression.
They obviously also thought that Ye Yun was telling lies.
For such an unstable person to become the king of Xia, I am afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for Xia.
Now, the two countries bordering Xia Country have begun to wonder whether they should help their neighbors.
"Your Majesty the King of Chu,"
At this time, Nangong Wudi, who was standing behind Ye Yun, suddenly took a step forward and said:
"If you don't believe in my Majesty's ability, you can find someone to compete with my Majesty."
"When the time comes, it will not be clear at a glance who is more capable of leading the coalition forces!"
Hearing this, King Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Nangong Wudi would come up with such a method.
It seemed that they were very confident in Ye Yun's abilities.
"That's fine. Since you want to give it a try, let me, the heroes of Chu, compete with King Xia."
Speaking in a relaxed tone, the King of Chu did not think of Ye Yun's ability at all. In his opinion, even if Ye Yun could convince everyone in the Xia Kingdom, it would not be enough.
There is a gap in strength between Xia State and Chu State.
What seemed like a master in the Xia Kingdom was not worth mentioning in the Chu Kingdom.
Just like Nangong Wudi, a powerful person in the first level of the Martial King, there are still a few in his Chu country.
Therefore, he was not worried at all that the people from Chu State would lose to Ye Yun.
"If King Xia wins the competition, then I will recognize his ability."
"When the time comes, all countries will surely be able to trust the coalition forces and hand them over to the leadership of King Xia."
Hearing this, the kings of several countries echoed his words. In their opinion, it was impossible for a young brat like Ye Yun to strengthen the country of Chu.
After King Chu agreed, they had no objections to the competition and were all waiting to see Ye Yun's joke.
…
"The position of commander of the coalition forces is of high authority, and every strategic deployment can almost determine the success or failure of the battle."
"So, if you want to be the commander of the coalition forces, you must have an extraordinary strategy."
"In the first game of this competition, let me, the Prime Minister of Chu, compete with King Xia in strategy!"
While the King of Chu was talking, an old man in scholar's robes with a slender figure, white hair and a long beard walked in from outside the hall.
After the old man in Confucian shirt came in, he first greeted the King of Chu and then looked at Ye Yun.
He put his hands together, bowed slightly to Ye Yun, and said:
"I, Yu Wenhu, Prime Minister of Chu, would like to ask King Xia for advice."
Ye Yun had also heard of Yu Wenhu's reputation. When he heard this, he nodded and then looked at King Chu.
"King Chu, we have a candidate. I wonder how we can compare these military strategies?"
Ye Yun asked with a calm expression.
The King of Chu was already prepared for this. He clapped his hands, and soon a guard brought up a chessboard.
"The way of chess implies military strategy. A qualified leader's attainments in chess will never be weak."
"In this first competition, let Prime Minister Yuwen and King Xia ask for advice on chess."
As he said that, King Chu looked at Ye Yun with a sneer.
Yu Wenhu, the prime minister of Da Chu, was the top chess master in the entire southeast region. With him coming forward, he could defeat Ye Yun with just a backhand.
"Chess game!"
After hearing what King Chu said, Ye Yun looked at the chessboard placed in the hall, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.
After the chessboard was placed, Yu Wenhu made an inviting gesture to Ye Yun and then walked directly to the chessboard.
As he walked, he also thought about how many steps he would take to win over Ye Yun.
After all, Ye Yun is the king of the Xia Kingdom, and now it is the time when the six countries are discussing a joint fight against Xuanyin Pavilion.
Therefore, he plans to save some face for Ye Yun. After all, if Ye Yun loses too badly and becomes angry and withdraws from the alliance directly, it will also be a loss to Chu State.
But this degree must be controlled well, otherwise it will damage the majesty of Da Chu.
While Yu Wenhu was thinking, Ye Yun came to the edge of the chessboard.
"Lord Yuwenhu, can you represent Chu State Chess?"
Looking at Yu Wenhu, Ye Yun asked calmly.
"I wonder what King Xia means?"
Hearing Ye Yun's words, Yu Wenhu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Glancing at Yu Wenhu, Ye Yun reached out and picked up the box containing the chess pieces.
"nothing!"
"If your Excellency can represent Da Chu Chess, then we will begin."
"If you can't, maybe you have a chess player whose strength is not weaker than Lord Yuwenhu."
"You can call them together, and I can play together at the same time, so that you will be convinced of your defeat."
"Lest someone else jump out after I win, sir, and it will be a waste of time!"
As he spoke, Ye Yun looked at Yu Wenhu quietly.
Ye Yun's words immediately stunned everyone in the hall.
They originally thought that Ye Yun was arrogant enough, but unexpectedly, they still underestimated Ye Yun.
This Ye Yun is not only arrogant, but simply arrogant.
There are thousands of chess skills, and it can be said that it can test a person's strategic ability to the greatest extent.
At this time, Yu Wenhu's eyes couldn't help but change when he looked at Ye Yun.
Originally, he wanted to save some face for Ye Yun and let him lose with dignity.
But now, he decided to make Ye Yun lose miserably.
Ye Yun's words were simply an insult to the art of chess.
