Zhao Kuo's words were really very, very unpretentious.

It is said directly that the people of Chu will undoubtedly lose! If this is said on other occasions, then it would be fine.

But now, this is the territory of Chu, the capital of Chu, the palace of Chu, and the place where the king of Chu and many core ministers are located.

Then, Zhao Kuo said this sentence so lightly, as if he was talking about a truth, and said this sentence extremely despised by the people of Chu.

The cup in the King of Chu's hand trembled and some wine came out, but the King of Chu did not get angry because someone had already had an attack in advance.

Jing Yang was furious and slapped the table directly: "Wu Xinjun, what you said is too much, right?

How could our Chu army be so unbearable?”

Jing Yang stared at Zhao Kuo with a very ferocious and terrifying face, as if he was about to eat Zhao Kuo at any time.

Regarding Jingyang's words that were almost equivalent to threat, Zhao Kuo was unmoved and said calmly: "Sima Jingyang, is the most important thing for the army to perform martial arts?

It's going to the battlefield to fight.

If you cannot win, what's the use of even the best martial arts performance?

So I'll ask you now, if I asked you to lead this army, and I will fight you with the same number of Zhao troops, 100 times or 1,000 times, can you win once?

If you think it is OK, then I will immediately submit a memorial to Handan. Let’s do it immediately. How about it?"

Zhao Kuo raised a challenge to Jingyang in an extremely calm manner.

Didn’t you say that your troops are very strong?

Bragging is useless, whether it is OK or not, it will only be known if you have practiced it yourself.

So, let’s practice now.

I just asked if you dare?

Faced with Zhao Kuo's challenge, Jing Yang's face turned pale.

Does Jingyang dare?

Actually, I dared.

But the question is, can Jingyang win?

Anyone with a little IQ can come up with the answer - they can't win.

Over the years, the people of Chu have seen the battles Zhao Kuo fought every time, and the Chu has been heartbroken every time when Zhao Kuo fought with Chu.

Jingyang wished Zhao Kuo to die, but Jingyang knew very well that if the same troops were used to fight Zhao Kuo on the battlefield, the only one who died was Jingyang.

What Jingyang wants is revenge, not revenge, but will not be killed by Zhao Kuo! Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Jingyang to agree to Zhao Kuo's condition.

Looking at Jing Yang's appearance, Zhao Kuo smiled.

"So, after talking for a long time, Da Sima, you can just be tough on your lips and don't dare to really fight me?"

From Zhao Kuo's perspective, he really doesn't mind having a fight with Jing Yang.

It would be even better if we could take advantage of this opportunity to kill Jingyang.

After killing Jingyang, Zhao Kuo can vigorously support Chunshenjun, the "old friend of Zhao State", so that Chu State can go further and further on the road of appeasement, and finally be destroyed by Zhao State! With this benefit, why don't Zhao Kuo do it?

It’s a pity that Jingyang refused to fight, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The King of Chu looked around and felt speechless.

Jing Yang agreed to show his might in front of Zhao Kuo, but now he is better. He didn't even dare to say anything about Zhao Kuo's slap in the face?

This is because Zhao Kuo is still there, otherwise the King of Chu really wanted to scold Jing Yang hard.

Forget it, after all, I am my own person.

The King of Chu suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly: "Wu Xinjun, don't be angry. This martial arts show is just a lively show. The relationship between our Chu and Zhao is quite friendly. How could a war start immediately because of such a small thing?

Jingyang Grand Sima, do you think this is the reason?”

Jingyang also knew that the King of Chu was giving a step. Even though he was reluctant, the situation was stronger than others. It was impossible for him to really go to war with Zhao Kuo, right?

So Jingyang could only nod his head stiffly.

The King of Chu turned his head to look at Zhao Kuo again, and smiled and said, "Jun Wu Xin, this matter ends here, how about it?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I am a guest. As the saying goes, the guest will follow the host. Since the king has spoken, I naturally have no objection."

Zhao Kuo was not stupid either. After all, this place was the territory of the Chu people. Although the two countries were fighting and not killing the envoys, what if the King of Chu went crazy?

So, it would be enough to hit Jing Yang in the face, and the King of Chu still had to give him a little face.

After Zhao Kuo spoke, the originally tense atmosphere quickly melted away. Everyone continued to eat and drink, just as if nothing had happened.

Jingyang sat down, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The scene just now was really embarrassing for Jing Yang.

First, Zhao Kuo used the principle of governing the country to suppress it, and then he was contemptuous and slapped in the face by Zhao Kuo on the spot when performing martial arts.

That is, there is no crack here, otherwise Jingyang would have to get in on the spot.

This matter is only three, and Jingyang wants to do it again.

At this moment, Chunshenjun suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister felt that the face of Jingyang's Grand Sima was so red. Maybe he couldn't bear to drink. Why don't you ask the king to let him go home and rest quickly.

Wu Xinjun is a distinguished guest. If something happens when entertaining a distinguished guest, it will always be a bit unfavorable to our Da Chu’s face."

When the King of Chu heard the words of Chunshen, he immediately realized the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song.

Chunshen Jun is hinting to the King of Chu, don’t let Jingyang make any more trouble. Today, our Great Chu has lost all the face, so let him go home quickly.

If it were normal times, the King of Chu would definitely not be able to follow Chunshen Jun's opinion, but today, the King of Chu suddenly felt that Chunshen Jun's opinion was quite reasonable.

So the King of Chu coughed and said to Jing Yang, who had just planned to challenge him again: "Sima, I also feel that you are tired, so you can go back to the house to rest first."

Jingyang: "..." At this time, Jingyang really wanted to say something from the bottom of his heart: "I am not tired, I am not tired, I still want to continue to have another three hundred rounds with Zhao Kuo."

But Jingyang couldn't, because if he really said that, it would be a refutation of the King of Chu's face on the spot.

This is not an internal occasion of Chu State, but a diplomatic occasion with Zhao Kuo, a foreign envoy. Once something happens on such an occasion, it will be known to everyone in the world in minutes.

If something like "Jingyang contradicts the King of Chu in public" spread throughout the world, then Jingyang's entire political career will come to an end.

The reason why the three major families can exist safely for so many years is that their power is indeed strong, and on the other hand, it is because the three major families are stable enough and respectful enough to the King of Chu lineage.

If Jing Yang really broke up with the King of Chu, the power of the Jing clan would definitely not be able to fight against the King of Chu. The other two Zhao clans and Qu clans among the three major families would not help Jing Yang in such matters.

Therefore, after just two seconds of thinking, Jing Yang completely deleted the option of contradicting the King of Chu from his mind.

Jing Yang said: "What the king said is that the old minister is indeed drunk, so he will take his leave."

After saying that, Jing Yang stood up and bowed to the King of Chu, then left with great strides.

This is Jingyang's last stubbornness.

Zhao Kuo looked at Jing Yang's leaving figure and smiled and was entertaining.

What about the three axes that promised to embarrass Zhao Kuo?

That's it?

Zhao Kuo even had the urge to laugh out loud on the spot.

Not only are these Chu people unable to fight, but they are even weaker in diplomatic ways to do so?

I can only repeat the old saying, the decline of Chu is really not unreasonable! After Jingyang left, the King of Chu obviously lost any interest.

Today's banquet was originally intended to make Jing Yang slap Zhao Kuo in the face, but fortunately, he took the initiative in the entire diplomatic negotiations.

Now, Jing Yang was slapped in the face and even forced to leave the market. The State of Chu, which was supposed to have the initiative, has now become the passive side.

If this happens, how can I drink this wine?

So, after a while, the banquet ended.

When the Chu king and ministers left the banquet, their mood was quite complicated.

They couldn't figure it out. This was obviously their home court, so why was Zhao Kuo so easily turned his back on the spot?

The uncle of Chu State, Li Yuan, was shocked when he saw this scene.

Li Yuan thought he had enough to have an estimate of Zhao Kuo's ability, but he suddenly realized that the previous estimate was still far from enough.

Wu Xinjun's strength was really beyond everyone's expectations, including Li Yuan himself.

This man is like the incarnation of a miracle. Wherever he goes, miracles appear.

Therefore, Li Yuan became more determined to cooperate with Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo is now the prime minister of Zhao. He cooperates with Zhao. Isn’t that just cooperation with Zhao Kuo?

This is simply not too stable! Not only Li Yuan alone, but many ministers of the State of Chu had more thoughts in their hearts after witnessing Zhao Kuo's suppression of Jingyang with their own eyes.

Simply put, they think Jingyang is indeed not good, and the Chu State... doesn't seem to be good either.

Nowadays, people actually work in any country and can serve any country.

Since Chu State is not very good, can you consider... Go to Zhao State?
