The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

成都

During the Qin Dynasty, Chengdu belonged to Shu. In the process of unifying the six kingdoms, Qin promoted the county system to the whole country. During the Qin Dynasty, Chengdu belonged to Shu.

Later, between the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the name "Yizhou" was used or changed many times to refer to Chengdu and its surrounding areas.

……

A few days later, in the Chengdu Palace, Anton Jun and a man in white came here as envoys from the State of Qi.

In order to welcome them, King Meng Zhixiang of Shu carefully prepared a banquet, including sumptuous food, fine wine, and various gorgeous music, dances, etc.

This is to show respect and welcome to the envoys from Qi State. After all, Qi State now has exclusive products, which are very important to him.

And even if we don't mention that, the Liang State and the various princes have basically been in a hostile relationship in recent years, so the Shu State and the Qi State are still allies from a certain perspective.

However, the relationship between countries has always been very complicated. Interests are paramount, and there can be no eternal allies or enemies.

Two countries may be getting along happily today, but they may start fighting tomorrow due to uneven distribution of resources. There are too many such examples in history.

It is said that the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit. This is exactly true.

However, at least now Qi and Shu are neighbors to each other, have common enemies, and have common interests, so naturally there are more elements of friendship between them.

At this time, dancers were dancing gracefully in the magnificent hall.

At that time, all nations came to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and various dances were introduced to the Central Plains. Their influence expanded to the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty and continues to this day.

Therefore, the current court dance continues the court dance of the Tang Dynasty and is divided into two categories: "strong dance" and "soft dance".

The 'Jian Dance' has vigorous and powerful movements, brisk rhythm, wide-open and wide-closed movements, and is full of power and rhythm.

'Soft dance' has soft and graceful posture, slow rhythm, delicate and smooth movements, giving people a gentle and charming feeling. Its style is opposite to fitness dance.

The "Fulin Dance" that dancers are performing now is a typical fitness dance.

As the melodious music played, the dancers in their colorful costumes began to dance gracefully.

The dancer holds a colorful silk and dances with her left hand raised and her right hand placed flat in front of her abdomen. She looks around and the colorful silk flutters and spins rapidly.

In addition, the gold and silver ornaments sparkle brightly, like flying ribbons, swirling and twisting, showing the softness and smoothness of the dance.

This pleasing scene is something that many people will never see in their lifetime.

However, at this time, Anton did not appreciate the dancing of these dancers too much.

He just talked to Meng Zhixiang from time to time, discussed some fine things with the man next to him, and then drank a little wine.

Is it because they don’t dance well?

Of course not!

As a dance performed at a banquet by a local lord to entertain guests, it is naturally very beautiful, but there is a difference between beauty and good-looking.

The dancing of the dancers in front of him was beautiful, but it had nothing to do with beauty, at least not the beauty in Anton's heart.

He had seen the dance of the Empress and Miao Luantong, and if he could describe it with a line of poetry, it would probably be, "The waist seems to bend, and the sleeves seem to be flying."

Come to think of it, I even learned how to dance in order to be able to dance with them, although I’m not that good at it.

In short, the dance of these palace maids is far inferior to that of my own wife.

Even without talking about the two of them, the singing and dancing of the girls in Huanyinfang were much more beautiful than the Fulin dance in the Shu Palace.

What's more, after seeing their dance, Anton now feels that the dance in front of him is boring.

Of course, this was not the only reason. After all, the purpose of this trip was not to watch the dance, but to persuade the princes to attack Liang State. Just as he was thinking about it, the King of Shu spoke first.

"Why? But this dance does not please the messenger?"

Hearing the King of Shu speak first, Anton Jun did not hesitate and went straight to the point.

"Of course not. I am here on behalf of Qi State to discuss something with the King of Shu."

After hearing this, the King of Shu also waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. After everyone left, An Dongjun slowly spoke, "The King of Shu should know about the battle between Liang Jin and Luzhou, right?"

Meng Zhixiang replied in confusion, "The envoy is joking. Although my Shu territory is far away from Luzhou, I still know about this major event."

An Dongjun continued to ask: "Then the King of Shu also knows about Li Xingyun's re-emergence, right?"

"Of course." Meng Zhixiang frowned slightly. These things are basically major events that are paid attention to by the princes all the time.

But that's exactly why Anton-kun asked nonsense twice, because he couldn't understand why Qi Country sent him here.

Form an alliance to seize Li Xingyun?

He is not that stupid. When Li Xingyun first came out of Yuzhou, King Qi never thought of forming an alliance with him.

Now that Li Xingyun is in someone else's territory, it's too late for him to come to me to form an alliance.

“To be honest, if Li Xingyun fell into Li Cunxu’s hands, Zhu Youzhen would definitely attack Luzhou with all his might.

When Li Cunxu's army returns to defend the city, the two tigers will fight each other, and there will be casualties. The remaining tiger will have only one fate, which is to be eaten by the wolves.

Having said that, Anton Jun paused and looked at the King of Shu with sharp eyes.

"I think no one would refuse to join the wolf pack and choose to be a lamb while the wolves eat the remaining tigers. What do you think, King Shu?"

The King of Shu supported his head with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand, his tone less enthusiastic than before.

"But Liang is a powerful country, and the two tigers may not fight to the death. Moreover, even if there is a crippled tiger, it may not be defeated by the two wolves."

"What if I say that Zhu Youzhen will definitely go to war with Li Cunxu, and that my Qi State has sent people to win over the support of the King of Chu and the King of Wu?"

"..."

The King of Shu did not answer because he felt that it was not enough. The King of Wu, Yang Pu, had previously relied on Zhu Wen.

He is also a coward and a fence-sitter. Unless he sees the benefits or is forced, he may not agree to Qiguo's proposal.

King Ma Yin of Chu is okay, but he, like Yang Xingmi (Yang Pu's father), Wang Jian (Emperor of Former Shu) and Zhu Wen (early period), are all heroes of the previous generation in troubled times. Now they are old and plan to enjoy their retirement.

And even if he takes action, it may not be enough. After all, the situation is still unclear. Who will take the lead?

Besides, there is a Tubo next door and I don’t know what actions they will take.

Although they now claim to be on good terms with the Central Plains only for trade, who can say for sure about things like grabbing territory?

Of course, Anton also thought so at the beginning, but when he thought of the people going to the other two countries, he felt relieved because he believed that they would succeed.

An Dongjun smiled slightly: "If I say so, the King of Wu and the King of Chu will agree, and there is an internal supporter from our Qi State in Liang State.

And I promise that the King of Shu can take Jinzhou, Guizhou and Fangzhou. What do you think, King of Shu?"

The King of Shu was moved. He knew that Jin and Liang had been fighting in Luzhou for several months, but there had been no new progress on either side and the situation was at a stalemate.

This is because although the State of Liang occupied the fertile Central Plains, it had almost no strategic locations to defend, so a large number of troops were needed to garrison the border.

This is also why Zhu Youzhen, despite having so many soldiers, could not spare any manpower to redouble his attack on the State of Jin.

"The messenger's conditions are very good, but the crippled tiger will also fight back. Who will bear his wrath then?"

However, he still did not agree immediately, because fighting a war cannot be won by just talking.

If it is true as he said, that there is support from Qi within Liang State, Liang State will not be able to withstand the joint attack of the princes. But why should he trust Lord Anton?

And the same old saying goes, who will be the first to take action?

"The one next to me is one of the four great corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect, the one who stained the mountains and rivers with blood—Hou Qing.

By then, our Qi Kingdom will march eastward all the way to Hezhong Prefecture, buying time for Shu Kingdom to swallow Jinzhou, Guizhou, and Fangzhou.

Of course, as long as you can defeat the State of Chu, Junzhou and Xiazhou can also be given to you.

However, if Liang wants to attack Qi, I need the King of Shu to help Qi, what do you think? "

"Okay, if it's really as the messenger said, I will follow!"

If it was really as the envoy from Qi said, that he could get three states for free and also have a chance to completely destroy Liang, the King of Shu would naturally not hesitate.

After all, Daliang, who has always been arrogant and strong, has now fallen. Who wouldn't want to step on him?

After hearing his words, Lord Anton took out the two covenants drafted by King Qi.

Meng Zhixiang also decisively signed the alliance letter between Shu and Qi, stamped his seal of the King of Shu, and formally formed an alliance with Qi, indicating that they would jointly attack Liang in the coming days.

At this point, the alliance has been formed.

Then Anton-kun chatted with him for a while and then hurried back to Qi State.
