The contest between the two princes of the East and West Chu States instantly made the scene tense.
The East Chu State and the West Chu State, you can tell what the two countries are like just by listening to their names. Moreover, in the battle for national destiny, having the same name is a taboo.
In fact, both the Eastern Chu State and the Western Chu State once belonged to the "Chu State". But a long time ago, the Ruo'ao family became powerful, stole the national tools, and completed the great mission of dividing the territory.
From then on, the Chu State was divided into two, one was the Chu State and the other was the Eastern Chu State. Later, because the Eastern Chu State became powerful, it forced the former Chu State to change its name, and it was changed to the Western Chu State.
But after this disaster, the Western Chu State revived and became strong again.
Afterwards, the Eastern and Western Chu states expanded outward at the same time, grew into two powerful countries, and have been confronting each other until now.
Now, as the situation develops, the competition between the two countries becomes more and more intense, and a life-and-death war will happen sooner or later. As early as when Xu Ren arrived in Zhao, Wen Xiaowei, on behalf of the Western Chu State, asked to build a major artery, and specifically stated that it should "cross the Eastern Chu State."
Now, the dispute between the two countries has reached Li Xian, and the prince of Western Chu interrupted others and spoke first.
Needless to say, Ruo Aolei was furious, "Xiong Zhi, interrupting others when they are talking, is this the quality of the Western Chu Kingdom?"
Xiong Zhi was a little dazed for a moment. He was indeed too anxious just now. His current behavior was indeed a bit unbecoming of a prince.
But Wen Xiaowei, who was following Xiong Zhi, stepped forward and said firmly: "Your Highness Ruoao is wrong. Our Western Chu Kingdom was the first to negotiate with the Kingdom of Shang. If your country wants to negotiate, I'm afraid you have to wait in line."
Li Xian saw that a quarrel was about to break out, so he quickly said, "Your Highnesses, regarding the construction of the aorta, I think we can take a long-term view. The construction of Zhao's aorta is expected to take at least five years. If there is a slight delay, considering the current war-torn environment, perhaps twenty years is not a problem. Therefore, Your Highnesses can first look at the construction status of the 'Shang-Zhao Aorta' before making any plans."
Why would it take so long? Everyone around blinked. Wouldn't it be over with a few spells? Why was it so troublesome? But after Li Xian's explanation, the conflict between the two Chu states temporarily ceased.
Li Xian smiled, he could understand what these people were thinking. "You can go to Langya County in the Shang Kingdom now, where the latest high-speed railway is being built. You will understand the situation after seeing it. Well, today I mainly want to meet with you and have a frank talk with you. If you have any questions or doubts, you can ask them now."
Li Xian's words seemed very peaceful, but his attitude was very arrogant, giving a feeling of "the emperor meeting with the princes".
But there is no better way to deal with the situation now. This is the only way to solve various problems as soon as possible, solve some common problems, and set some bottom lines for the Shang Kingdom.
In fact, this is similar to an alternative press conference, with representatives taking turns asking questions.
Soon, various inquiries began to appear.
"Xian Wang, you destroyed the Yang Kingdom, which made people happy. But the Skyfire Bomb of the Shang Kingdom also brought great panic to Yingzhou. And I heard that the Skyfire Bomb of the Shang Kingdom can be manufactured by itself. What we are most concerned about now is whether the Shang Kingdom has a principle for using Skyfire Bombs? Of course, if possible, we also want to understand the specific situation of the Skyfire Bomb. Including that... technology, production, etc."
