"The King." Zhao Ju was also shocked by King Chu's astonishing remarks, but under the gaze of everyone, he, as Ling Yin, had to speak.

So, he organized his language and said slowly: "In the current situation, the first thing my Chu State needs to do should be to guard against other countries, not take the initiative to attack. Although the Six Kingdoms failed to attack Chu and save Yue before, the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song took the initiative to retreat, rather than being repelled by our Chu army.

Moreover, in the face of the attack of the six countries, our Chu State also suffered a lot of losses, so that after the war, it could only force South Korea to form an alliance with our Chu State, and even the small country of Song State failed to force it to form an alliance with our Chu State. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "Great King, so the minister thinks that now that the Qi State is in full swing, it is too great to lose too much to face off with the Qi State at this time, and it is not worth it." ”

As soon as Zhao Ju's voice fell, the others echoed one after another: "King, what Ling Yin said is extremely true. ”

At this time, Xiong Huai raised his hand to interrupt the ministers' words and said: "Zhuqing, the widow naturally knows that now is not the time to face off with the Qi State, what the widow just said is a goal.

Before, the widow spent nearly 20 years in order to destroy the Yue country, and then when the time was ripe, the widow succeeded in the war. Now, the widow's meaning is still like this, this time he is anxious to come to the Qing Dynasty, which is to set a goal:

The next goal of my Chu State is the Qi State, and in order to achieve this goal, the major policies of the Chu State in the future will be implemented around this plan. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai didn't give others a chance to refute, and directly instructed Zhao Ju: "Ling Yin, in the next few years, most of the supplies in the Jianghuai region will be stored in Shou County, so that they will be needed for future wars. ”

Seeing that the King of Chu was just preparing for war, Zhao Ju immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately responded: "Only." ”

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Chang and said, "Zuo Yin, the next widow will entrust the foreign affairs of the Chu State to you." Chu's next foreign policy was mainly to restrain Qi, break the relationship between Qi and Zhao Wei, and isolate Qi.

Also, in order to prevent the Qin State from making trouble in the rear of our Chu State, it is necessary to change the previous policy of uniting with the Three Jin Dynasty to isolate the Qin State, increase support for the pro-Chu ministers of the Qin State, start to get close to the Qin State, and then let the ministers who are close to our Chu State shift the attention of the Qin State to the Three Jins.

As for Zhao, although Zhao and Qi have formed an alliance and married, the alliance between Chu and Zhao has not been severed, and Zhao and my Chu do not have too many contradictions, and the common interests far outweigh the contradictions.

Therefore, the coldness of the relationship between Chu and Zhao is only temporary, and the relationship between Chu and Zhao must continue to be maintained and cannot be broken. At the very least, Zhao State cannot be allowed to participate in the operations of various countries. ”

"I understand." Akira nodded.

Then, Xiong Huai's gaze turned to Gongsun Yan and said: "Xianqing, now there is a situation in which various countries are jointly attacking Chu, but in order to recuperate, give the people time to rest, in order to avoid Chu being too strong and being feared by all countries, and in order to have enough strength to cut down Qi in the future, from now on, Chu State's military policy will be changed to strategic defense."

Among them, the focus is on defending the Qin State, and the Qin State cannot be given any chance, so that the Qin State can get any benefits from my Chu State. As long as the Qin State hits a wall on my Chu State, over time, the Qin State will naturally shift its target. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen and said: "Chen Qing, Qing's task is to send more spies to the Qi Kingdom, one of the purposes is to divide the relationship between the King of Qi and the Tian family, and on the other hand, to promote the remarks favorable to the King of Qi for the mouthpiece of the King of Qi and strengthen the confidence of the King of Qi."

In addition, it is necessary to increase the intensity of buying the sons and students of the Jixia School Palace, so that the Jixia School Palace can instigate the King of Qi to comprehensively suppress the Tian family.

Also, those ministers of the Qi State should also be bribed and let them help the King of Qi, and those ministers who were dissatisfied with the Tian family should also give support and support them to ascend to the throne. ”

"The minister commands."

After that, Xiong Huai set his eyes on Qu Yuan: "Zuo disciple, the widow knows that Qing has sent envoys to Qi State many times before, and he has friendships with many people in Qi State, and the widow hopes that this time Qing can contact some people to help the spies of Chu State gain a foothold in Qi State." ”

"Yui."

In the end, Xiong Huai turned his gaze to Zhao Ju again: "Ling Yin, Qing is the head of the hundred officials of my Chu State, and he is a powerful minister of the widow.

The affairs of the Qi country will be entrusted to you. ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, his spirits immediately perked up.

When the Chu State attacked the Yue State before, he was not qualified, and it was initially in charge of Ling Yin Zhaoyang, and then it was transferred to Ling Yin Jingli, and he only participated in the later stage of the plan.

However, what he regretted very much was that he had always been on the side of the action of destroying the Yue Kingdom, and it was Zhao Slip who went deep into the Yue Kingdom, Jing Cui fought the decisive battle, and it was Tang Yu who attacked Jiangdong.

It can be said that the Chu State attacked the Yue Kingdom, and he did not directly participate in it at all.

This incident has always made him regret.

No, now when the King of Chu decided on the next strategy target, he handed over the host of this matter to him.

Although the king of Chu did not say that he wanted to destroy the Qi country, as a courtier, what is more glorious than destroying the country of people and dying?

More importantly, Qi is still far more powerful than the Yue country, and it is far from being comparable to those small countries.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ju suddenly felt that the blood in his body was about to boil.

Then, forcibly suppressed the excitement and was very moved: "Please rest assured that the king will exhaust his intelligence and complete the king's entrustment." ”

Xiong Huai listened to Zhao Ju's words, looked at Zhao Ju's excited red face, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, with Ling Yin's words, the widow will rest assured." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai's face was straight, and then he bowed to the five people and said: "The matter discussed today, the widow will all ask the five virtuous ministers, and I hope that the secretaries will work together to complete this great cause." ”

"The ministers receive the order, and they will definitely complete the king's entrustment."

The five Zhaoju came calmly, and then left calmly, without causing a stir. Everything in the Chu State is still the same as before, tense and orderly and slowly moving forward.

It's July.

On this day, Xiong Huai was serving Mrs. Song, and when he was relieving the heat in the palace to relieve his boredom, a waiter walked quickly to Xiong Huai not far away: "King, see you in the assassination order." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately patted Mrs. Song's buttocks.

Mrs. Song understood, then pouted, got up from the side of King Chu dissatisfied, and then reluctantly avoided it for a while.

Soon, Chen Zhen walked into the palace sweating profusely, and without waiting for the king of Chu to ask, he hurriedly said: "King, uncle has sent urgent news, Prince Han's baby died of illness not long ago, and uncle is delaying time, please send Gongzi lice back to Han to succeed him as crown prince immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that things will change." ”
