Huang Xie didn't have anything to do about it, he didn't dare to fight, because he was afraid that once he fought, there would be no turning back, and once the Chu State was defeated, everything would be gone.

At this time, he was holding a banquet, and he wanted to drink a few glasses for his sorrows to relieve his sorrows.

In the past seven years, he has spent all his time in sorrow, his pressure is extremely huge, although his child has been made the crown prince, and he will be the master of Chu in the future, but he does not know how many years he can protect Chu State.

And at this time, a middle-aged man stood up: "Childe, if it goes on like this, our Great Chu Empire will be finished!" ”

"Let one city today, five cities tomorrow, one county a year, how many counties can I have in Dachu?"

"Childe, I think that at this time, we should start a war of alignment, it is not easy to fight now, and it will be even harder to fight after a long time!"

"I believe in the truth of cold lips and teeth, and the Qin State also understands that we have launched a war, and it is absolutely impossible for Qin to watch us be destroyed!" The person who spoke was a person from the Shangguan family, named Shangguan Feng.

He is an important minister of the Chu State, and of course the future successor of the third son, he is a main battle faction, and when the battle reports of these days reach his ears, he knows that they can't wait, and the longer they wait, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

This war must go on without a moment's delay.

It's not easy to fight now, and it's even harder to fight in the future, it's better to launch a surprise attack on Qi when Qi has not yet encroached on half of Chu State, maybe you can win the initiative in the war.

With the help of the Qin State, it may be possible to defeat the Qi State once, and as long as the Qi State is defeated once, then it will be able to extend the life of the Great Chu Empire for at least fifty years.

If a mediocre monarch emerges in the Qi State, it is possible that the Chu State will be hegemonic again in the future.

Huang Xie looked at Shangguan Feng, his eyes were just staring at him: "Once this war breaks out, will the Jing family agree?" ”

If the Qi State is fully launched, it is not feasible to rely on his wish of Huang Xie alone, after all, there is a sphere of influence that he cannot control, and the Jing family is also the main force of the Chu State.

Although the central army of Chu is within his control, and he can unite the major nobles, these forces are still weak compared to the Jing family.

The strongest combat power of the Great Chu Empire is the Chu family, because they have the elite soldiers of the Southern Barbarians, which are the strongest corps in the Chu State.

Shangguan Feng looked at Huang Xie and said, "I am willing to be a lobbyist and go to the Jing family, I believe that when the Chu State is alive and dead, it is impossible for them to stand idly by!" ”

Huang Xie nodded: "If you can get the support of the Jing family, I will persuade the Xiong family to unite our Great Chu Empire and fight a decisive battle with the Qi State!" ”

Huang Xie actually wanted to fight in his heart, because this time was indeed the best time, after seven years of development, the Chu State had enough grain and grass and sufficient armaments, as long as they joined forces to fight a protracted war, there would be no problem.

If you wait ten years, although there are more resources, will people not develop? After all, if you move forward, others will move forward.

Of course, Huang Xie also hoped that Qi Xiaobai was sick, but from the current point of view, Qi Xiaobai's physique is very good, and he often goes hunting, and government affairs are also handled very well.

has been busy to this point, and Qi Xiaobai is not suspected of being sick at all.

On the other hand, his Huang Xie's body, although he is about the same age as Qi Xiaobai, is not as good as day by day, after all, he is worried about too many things.

He felt that in a while, he might die of overwork.

Huang Xie asked Shangguan Feng to find the Jing family, and he also sent his own disciples to the Qin State.

After all, if you want to start a war against the Qi State, the Qin State cannot help but go, relying only on the strength of the Chu State, facing the Qi State, it is a lot of pressure, if there is a Qin State to share, this pressure will be less.

He originally planned to send his henchman Li Yuan to the state of Chu, but Li Yuan excused himself because of illness, and it was Shangguan Hao of the Shangguan family who was promoted.

It is said that Huang Xie controls the government of Chu State, and the Shangguan family controls the court situation of Chu State, the three major Shangguan occupy the position of Shangqing, and the people in the court are all over the official disciples.

Even Huang Xie has to give the Shangguan family enough face, and the reason why Huang Xie can occupy the position is because of the support of the Shangguan family.

Of course, in order to compete for the power of the court, the Shangguan family also had a struggle with Huang Xie, but it ended in the defeat of the Shangguan family.

Of course, the Shangguan family failed, the main reason was that the Xiong family supported Huang Xie, after all, the Shangguan family was too powerful, and the history of the Chu State was similar to that of the Xiong family.

Once the Shangguan family holds the power of the dynasty, can they still have the surname Xiong in the Chu State? This is a big doubt.

This is also why in the power struggle at that time, the Xiong family finally stood behind Huang Xie, although Huang Xie is very capable, he is not a simple character, after all, his family is not a century-old family like the Shangguan family.

After his death, some of the smoke disappeared, but the Shangguan family is different, the Shangguan family can develop sustainably, although Huang Xie is also seeking sustainable development, but there are not many talents in the Huang Xie family.

After all, the Shangguan family is a century-old family, and talents are frequently produced layer by layer, from the top to the bottom, there are talents, from literature to martial arts, there are also people from his Shangguan family.

Although the power of the Shangguan family failed, Huang Xie had to endure three points in the face of the Shangguan family, and of course Huang Xie always wanted to get rid of the Shangguan family.

After all, no one wants to share power, but all this has to be done when his son is older, he has already done it, if the situation in the Qi State can be ended, then the Shangguan family will be stabbed.

He can't deal with the Jing family, that's because they have military power and are backed by the Southern Barbarian forces, and if you want to clean up the family, then you have to fight a civil war.

Although the Shangguan family is a century-old family and has some fiefdoms, in the final analysis, it has no military power, and he Huang Xie does not need to be afraid.

As long as you are prepared to live and die, then you will open a knife on the Shangguan family.

At this time, in Huang Xie's study, Huang Xie looked at Li Yuan and said, "Do you think this Shangguan Hao can complete this thing?" ”

"Childe, Shangguan Hao is also the future Shangguan Three Thieves, the successor of the training, his ability must be good!" Li Yuan said to Huang Xie.

The three thieves of Shangguan are Huang Xie's name for the three old ministers of the Shangguan family, they are the pillars of the Shangguan family, they are the three major ministers in the court, in Huang Xie's eyes, these three people are the old thieves.

Standing in the pit and not shitting, they are so old, it's time to get out, that is, to occupy that position, which makes Huang Xie very angry, but helpless.

For Li Yuan, Huang Xie obviously believes in it very much, and Shangguan Hao, he has also heard of it, after all, he is the secretary of the central government, and it is impossible for the Shangguan family to promote a waste.

Since Li Yuan said that he has the ability, then Huang Xiejue's must be a little capable.

"Okay, let him go!" Huang Xie said to Li Yuan.
