Yanjun Jiling is no longer shameless, but King Chu Huai still wants to be faced. The state of Chu was located in the south, with a vast territory and a large number of generals, and its strength was not inferior to Qin and Zhao on paper, and as for his strength, it was ranked third, thanks in large part to the fact that they had a peace-loving king. During the reign of King Huai of Chu, unlike his ancestors, who were keen to expand their territory and attack everywhere, they were more comfortable and fond of extravagant pleasures and the peace of the country and the people, and the praise of the peaceful and prosperous times, the Chu people had a rare battle for decades, and occasionally had conflicts with the Qin people, and they were only limited to small-scale fights, and the wisdom of the Qin people was that they were deeply wary of the Chu people, but before they were completely sure, they did not go to pluck this sleeping giant at all.
After decades of comfort, the combat effectiveness of the Chu soldiers, except for the male army stationed on the border of Qin and Chu, how much combat power there is in the others is really doubtful.
King Chu Huai was content with pleasure all his life, and his children were more than half a hundred, and at the suggestion of King Yan, he married a daughter under his knee to King Yan as the queen, which was just a political transaction, in fact, for King Chu Huai, what was the voice and appearance of this daughter, I can't remember it for a long time.
But even if I can't remember, it's my own dignified princess.
Tian Dan is just the prime minister of Qi State, and after breaking Yan, he forcibly summoned the princess of Chu State to sleep, this is the naked humiliation of King Chu Huai, how can King Chu Huai not be angry? As for the Yanjun Jiling who had died out, it had already been thrown out of the clouds by King Chu Huai at this time.
Rumors are always much faster than people's footsteps, when Chun Yuyan was still desperately rushing to Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State, rumors about Tian Dan forcibly summoning the princess of Chu to sleep in Jicheng have spread to Yingcheng, of course, the rumors will not be just such a simple sentence, but full of emotion, and some people even depict the details in it. It's almost as if they were watching from the sidelines.
The Chu people are furious!
King Chu Huai was also furious.
This king who has passed the age of sixteen is in the harem, almost what he sees, and the roar of anger makes the entire harem silent, although the old king does not often kill, but he is not not a murderer.
"Summoning Qu Chong, Sun Shu Ao, Huang Xie into the palace! After smashing everything he could smash at hand, King Chu Huai finally regained some sobriety. The current state of Chu, the army that can fight, almost all of them are assembled on the border of Qin and Chu. And the imperial court also tilted more resources in that direction, and suddenly wanted to start another war, even if it was the wealthy Chu State, it was not something that could be achieved overnight. What's more, whether the important ministers of the Chu State would agree to start such a war is another matter.
It should be said that in the era of King Chu Huai, the state of Chu was still full of famous ministers, and the first assistant was Huang Xie. The second assistant Sun Shu Ao, the Taiwei is condescending, they are all famous ministers in the world, although King Chu Huai is extravagant. often does not show up for ten days and half a month, but under the care of these three people, the government is still in order, and the important ministers of the Chu State have changed. On this continent, the countries can be said to be the most stable, and these three people have been in charge of the Chu dynasty for more than ten years.
Steady dìng's court, a vast territory. Complex terrain and a large number of people are the reasons why the Qin State put the Chu State as the last resort when it launched a great war aimed at unifying the Central Plains. In other words, if the Qin State launched a war of annihilation against the Chu State now, King Wulie of Qin would not be sure of victory.
Eat persimmons first pick up the soft pinch, the eternal truth.
"I want to send troops to Qi country! Staring at the three important ministers in front of him, King Chu Huai said in a tough tone, a little worried that the important ministers would oppose it for various reasons, King Chu Huai preemptively expressed his attitude and set the tone for this meeting, you three, don't tell me now whether to send troops, but think about how to send troops.
But to the surprise of King Chu Huai, whether it was Huang Xie or Sun Shuao, both of them nodded in agreement, as for the condescending captain who controlled the army, not to mention, over the years, because of King Chu Huai's policy of calming people, his military talent has not been given a chance to show at all.
"Tian Dan deceives people too much! With the approval of the three ministers, King Chu Huai couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Your Majesty! Huang Xie arched his hand, "Regarding the matter of the princess, although rumors are flying all over the sky now, but when there is no specific evidence, we can't be gullible yet, as for the three of us agreeing to the king's idea of sending troops, it's not because of rumors like the princess being humiliated now."
"Why is that? King Chu Huai asked in amazement.
"Your Majesty, because now is the right time! Sun Shuao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Qi Guotiandan, raised the strength of the whole country to invade Yan State, won every success, forced Yan Jun to flee, and now it is a column of tens of thousands of troops straight into Liaoxi, its domestic emptiness is extremely empty, and now the Qin people are fighting with Zhao State, and they are fighting with Wei people in Wei State, and they have no time to take care of other places, this is a good opportunity for my Great Chu to take advantage of the chaos to make profits."
King Chu Huai's face was a little ugly, daring to love these people agreeing to send troops, it was not for his face at all, thinking so in his heart, of course he would not say it in his mouth, no matter how he said it, these people are all important ministers of Great Chu, over the years, it can be said that he has done his best, although King Chu Huai is arrogant and lascivious, he is not stupid, otherwise it is impossible to sit in this position and sit for decades.
King Chu Huai turned his head to look at Qu Chong: "Qu Qing, since the two auxiliary lords have agreed to send troops, are you ready?" "
Qu Zhong straightened up and said to King Chu Huai: "Your Majesty, if my Great Chu is recruited from all over the country, I can get 500,000 male troops, but among them, except for the 100,000 troops on the border of Qin and Chu, they can also be called elite, and the other troops stationed in various places have long been loosely prepared, and they have not been subjected to fire for decades, and some troops are afraid that they have rotted to the bones."
King Chu Huai's face changed, "Qu Qing, I am a dignified Chu, how can I be so unbearable, are you exaggerating?" "
Qu Zhong is a little helpless, the military preparation of Da Chu is relaxed, and most of the annual military budget is sent to the border of Qin and Chu, where there is more, and there is naturally less money in other places, how can there be a reason not to relax the military preparation.
Hearing the condescending complaint, King Chu Huai's face was also a little unsightly. But I also know in my heart that the problem here has a lot to do with myself."Then Qu Qing, what are your plans to send troops this time?" "
Qu Zhong smiled slightly, "As long as the auxiliary politicians can come up with enough budget."
"This time the money is enough," Huang Xie smiled.
"The money is enough, when did my Da Chu lack money, Qu Qing, this king will also take out a sum of money privately this time, Tian Dan insulted me so much, how could I let him go? "King Chu Huai's spirits were greatly lifted.
Huang Yi and the three of them glanced at each other. There were some surprises in the helplessness, Ping Su wanted to let their king pay some private money, but there was no way at all, this time it was naturally happy to get some out, but what their king remembered was that he was slapped in the face, and they were a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, this time the troops were sent out more of a military training, and the three of them discussed for a long time, this emergency. The whole country is in flames, and the voice of sending troops has never been higher, which was unimaginable in the past. We just took this opportunity to make a big mobilization of the whole army, and in the process of mobilization, the weak and the strong remained. High-intensity marching and training can naturally eliminate those weak brigades, and in this way, avoid the unnecessary troubles that come with reorganizing our army. Chancellor thought. By the time we move our troops to Linyi, a brand new Great Chu army will appear." Qu Zhong explained.
King Chu Huai's face was once again difficult to look at, he didn't pay for the sake of training the troops.
"So, you're not prepared to teach Tian Danluo a lesson at all? He asked, somewhat angrily.
"Nope! Huang Xie explained: "Training troops is indeed an important task, but alignment is also one of the goals of our action this time, but whether to align the battle depends on the outcome of the war between the Qi army and Yan Gaoyuan this time?" If Gao Yuan wins and the Qi army is defeated, then, when the time comes, the army we transferred to Linyi will attack the Qi country in a big way, take advantage of his illness, ask for his life, and beat the water dogs. But if the Qi army wins, our army in Linyi will not rush to attack, because since then, we have no certainty of victory. The ambition of the Qin State is well known to the world, if we lose the battle with the Qi State, we will inevitably attract the covetousness of the Qin State. Moreover, once the Qi State wins, the strength of the Qi State will also go up a big scale, and we are very likely to suffer."
Sun Shuao continued: "If today, it is already a big chaos, the Qin people destroy Han, attack Wei, force Zhao, and Qi destroy Yan, if they succeed, then a big country will rise on our side, and I, Da Chu, have not cultivated troops over the years, has fallen far behind the other party, if we can't catch up, we will inevitably be invaded by the opponent next, Wang, at this time, we must work hard, otherwise, Han Wei's current fate is not far from us."
King Chu Huai originally asked these three to discuss the matter of getting angry, but he didn't want to be taught a lesson by the three of you and me sentence by sentence, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but the other party said every word, but it was the truth, and he stood up in annoyance, "You can watch and do it!" "
Seeing King Chu Huai leave in annoyance, the three of them also quickly stood up, "Your Majesty, what about your internal currency?" Qu Zhong asked.
"You can't miss a tael of silver! King Chu Huai dropped a sentence and left angrily, leaving the three of them, with a look of surprise, this time with the help of Tian Dan's recklessness, the three of them successfully mobilized the heart of the whole country to start a war, and even got a large amount of money from the hands of the king who cut the door, more importantly, if Tian Dan was defeated, the Great Chu took advantage of the void and went straight in, once the Qi State was taken, the strength of the Chu State would be greatly taken forward, and in the future duel with the Qin people, it would no longer fall behind. And with the help of this matter, in addition to the accumulation of the Chu army and the revival of the great Chu army, it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop.
Poor Chun Yuyan, who was still dusty and moving towards Yingdu at this time, had an expression of being blackmailed, if he knew about this conversation in the palace of the King of Chu, would he turn around and leave, and return to Quwo?
