"The King of Wei has consecrated me as the Marquis of Chu, the Great Chu Marquis of Wei!

In the future, when the King of Wei becomes emperor, if the kings are divided among themselves, I will definitely have a share of the credit based on my contribution this time.

At that time, you will still be Chu ministers!

Moreover, I promise that Fa Tang will never treat you badly this time.

As much as I can get, you can also get as much as you can!"

Xiang Ji patted his chest and said in assurance.

"As expected of the Overlord's younger brother! I'm impressed by this magnanimity!"

"The Xiang family has always had a good reputation, I believe in you!"

"Follow the Marquis of Chu and you will have meat to eat!"

"Chu Hou Renyi!"

…

As Xiang Ji spoke, a group of Chu nobles began to support him.

Some of them had already surrendered to the Wei State, while others were moved by Xiang Ji's generous offer.

"Don't worry! My Xiang family will never deceive everyone when doing things!"

Looking at the nobles supporting him below, Xiang Ji smiled like a cunning fox.

As he said, he did not deceive these nobles, but he played a little word game.

He knew that his king would not appoint a bunch of kings to rule the world together.

The position of county governor is the limit of a local official!

Perhaps in the future, when we conquer outside China, a few kings may be canonized.

But that will be something that will happen in the future!

Can this be considered cheating?

If your own king doesn't divide the kings among them, you can't blame yourself!

As for the last sentence, as much as they get, they can get as much.

Xiang Ji said that as long as he is not greedy, those nobles will indeed be more powerful than himself.

After inciting the nobles of the Chu State, they began to recruit troops to prepare for a counterattack against the Tang State.

During this period, Duguxin naturally cooperated fully.

To the people of Chu, Dugu Xin was just an outsider no matter how helpful he was, but Xiang Ji was a genuine Chu native.

For many nobles, they did not believe that Xiang Ji could control his ambitions.

As long as Xiang Ji wants to complete the evolution from Chu Hou to Chu King, the help of nobles like them is indispensable.

As long as they help, the other party will not be able to get rid of them.

Regardless of the calculations of all parties, at least the Chu army led by Xiang Ji gradually began to take shape.

…

In this regard, the most panicked person is Chen Baxian!

Originally, he had dreamed of splitting the earth and becoming a king, becoming a new generation of King of Chu!

The appearance of Xiang Ji directly shattered his dream!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!"

Chen Baxian smashed everything he could throw in front of him, and he looked quite irritable.

"General! The envoy from the Tang Dynasty wants to see you!"

A young general came to report.

"Please come in! Invite the envoy of Tang State in! ...No! No! Invite him into the main hall."

When he heard that someone from Tang State was coming, Chen Baxian's eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly gave instructions.

Looking at the mess in front of him, he felt something was wrong, and quickly asked the young general to lead him to the main hall.

"No need to invite! I'm already here!"

A rather relaxed voice sounded, and Wang Xuance appeared outside the door.

"you……"

Seeing that the other party didn't understand any rules and came here directly, Chen Baxian couldn't help but feel a little angry.

But thinking about his current situation, he couldn't say the words he wanted to scold.

"I'm here on the orders of the prince. Wouldn't the governor invite me to come in and sit down?"

Wang Xuance asked with a smile.

"Please come in!"

"Come here! Clean this place up!"

Chen Baxian signaled to Wang Xuance that he could come in.

After entering the room, Wang Xuance was not polite and drank tea by himself.

"The prince asked you to come here, I wonder if it's because of that extremely small child?"

Seeing that Wang Xuance was still reluctant to speak, Zheng Ba took the lead and couldn't help himself.

The longer you delay, the more dangerous you will be!

"Yes or no! All this depends on your choice, sir!"

Seeing that Chen Baxian couldn't help but speak first, Wang Xuance couldn't help but show a smile of success.

I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet!

"What do you mean? Which one to choose? I have already pledged my allegiance to your country Tang."

Chen Ba first felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"It's true that you took refuge in the Tang Dynasty! But it doesn't count as complete surrender!

Whether it's military power or finance, it's all in your own hands.

Not only can I, Datang, not get a single copper penny in tax from you, I also have to give you money.

How can there be such a truth in this world?"

Wang Xuance asked word for word.

"Crack!"

"This is what you promised me back then, are you ready to disobey it now?

If that’s the case, don’t blame me for switching to Chuhou!”

Chen Baxian's face darkened, he slammed the table and said.

indeed!

He also knew that his original request was a bit excessive!

But so what?

If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Born in troubled times, the army and money were the foundation of his life.

"If you want to switch to the Marquis of Chu, you can go now! But if you go, there won't be any generals or county guards left, right?

In addition, last time, everyone else defected to the Wei State, but you were the only one who sided with the Tang State.

Based on this alone, General Dugu may not be able to tolerate you!"

Wang Xuance looked indifferent and explained Chen Baxian's current situation in an understatement.

"...I no longer want to be a county guard. I only want military power and be a general!"

After Chen Baxian said the words, he sat back on the chair feebly.

"We, the Tang Congress, will send a deputy general to cooperate with General Chen's work.

In addition, General Chen will be granted the title of Marquis of Chen!"

Wang Xuance hit a sweet date with a stick, and even Chen Baxian couldn't fix it.

"When will the Tang army come to support me?"

Chen Baxian did not worry too much about the deputy general's issue, but asked the question he was most concerned about.

If a lieutenant general or something like that dares to take away his military power, he will be put to death!

You have controlled the army for so long and spent so much money. Can you just rob it if you want?
