King Song paused, and then spoke: "King Chu, although this is the case, but Xue Jun has only been deposed for more than ten years after all, and it still has an impact on the people of Xue Di to a greater or lesser extent, it is better to summon Xue Jun, and we will play the banner of restoring Xue Jun to break the fighting spirit of the people of Xue Di and reduce the difficulty of our attack on Xue City." ”

"Xue Jun's reset?" Xiong Huai looked at King Song in surprise.

The state of Chu has already made it clear to the state of Song that the state of Xue Di and the state of Chu do not want half of the land, and only ask the state of Song to send troops to help when the state of Chu attacks Tancheng Jucheng.

Conquer Xue Cheng, this Xue Land will be the territory of the Song State in the future, the Song State wants to restore Xue Jun, and it is not happy to find it for himself, it seems that there is no need for the Chu State to refuse!

When the King of Song saw the surprised gaze of the King of Chu, he was unmoved, as if the Song State was really attacking Xue Di to restore Xue Jun.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai nodded, and said to the Shangguan doctor behind him: "Xianqing, pass on the edict of the widow, let Xue Jundeng come here to obey the order, and say that the widow and the king of Song want to expel Tian Wen and restore Xue Jun in Xue City." ”

Doctor Shangguan replied: "Only! ”

Seeing that the King of Chu agreed, the King of Song slowly exhaled a breath, and then said: "The city of Xue is tall and difficult to attack the city, so the widow plans to use the method of besieging three ques and one to set aside the north, and the two countries of Chu and Song will besiege the other three sides, I don't know what the king of Chu thinks?" ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "The widow thinks it's feasible." It's just that what kind of play are these three sides? ”

King Song said: "The Song army besieged the south and west, and the Chu army besieged the east. Moreover, if the Qi army comes from the east, then all the reinforcements will be handed over to the Chu army, and the reinforcements from the north, the widow has already ordered the warriors to wait for the Qi army in Pinglu in Tengdi. ”

Xiong Huai smiled and handed over all the Xue Di to the Song State, it was for this moment that the Song army acted as the main force in the siege, and most of the Chu army was responsible for containing the Qi army, and the remaining part of the Chu army was responsible for attacking a city wall, which would greatly reduce the losses of the Chu army and preserve the strength of the Chu army.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai agreed: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

"Good!"

On the way back to Chuying, Chen Zhen Jingcui was divided into left and right, following Xiong Huai, and in the middle of a sound, Chen Zhen suddenly spoke: "King, the Song Kingdom already has a different heart!" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his leg that was stepping forward suddenly stagnated, and he paused for a breath, and then stepped on the ground and asked hesitantly, "Why did Xianqing say this?" ”

At this time, Jing Cui also looked at Chen Zhen in surprise, just now, the moment the King of Chu paused, Jing Cui almost didn't hold his footsteps and walked in front of the King of Chu.

Chen Zhen replied: "King, it's Xue Jun!" ”

"Xue Jun?" Jing Cui was puzzled: "What do you say? Could it be that the king of Song proposed to reinstate Xue Jun, wasn't it to win over the people in the city, but to plan for other things? ”

"No!" Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "The king, the Zhu Kingdom, part of the reason why the King of Song mentioned Xue Jun is precisely as the King of Song said, it is to disintegrate the people in the city. On the other hand, it was planned to use Xue Jun to borrow the name of Chu State. ”

After a pause, Chen Zhen explained: "Xue Jun has been deposed in the Qi State, and the current Xue Jun is the Xue Jun of the Chu State. If the Song State reinstated Xue Jun and let Xue Jun nominally rule Xue Di, and Song State actually controlled Xue Di, this was Song State's method of tying Chu Song Xue together. And the most important thing is that the Song State will jump out of the matter of Vaxue, from the main force of Vaxue to the help of Vaxue, which is to abandon his name and hide behind Chu State again. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he suddenly realized.

Originally, the plan of the Song State was to divide the Xue Land with the Chu State equally after paying a certain price, and the Song State wanted the western part of the Xue Land, and then the Chu State wanted the eastern part of the Xue Land.

In this way, when the state of Chu declined and the state of Qi planned to recapture the land of Xue, then the state of Chu would inevitably bear the brunt. At that time, although the Song State also had to defend the Xue Land, but in this case, first of all, the Song King went to support the Chu State in a hurry to support the Chu State, and then the Song State defended the Xue Land, and the Chu State had to accept the Song State's feelings.

This situation was originally calculated by the Song State, but he did not expect that the Chu State would change his mind later, and planned to give up all the Xue Land to the Song State, and then asked the Song State to help when the Chu State attacked Tancheng Jucheng.

Although this is more beneficial to the Song State, and it also makes the Song State gain more, but if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, although the Song State has obtained all the Xue Land, but it also has to bear the anger of the Qi State, as well as all the resentment of the world-famous Meng Weijun.

In this regard, King Song should have been instigated, so he came up with this method and set his sights on Xue Jun of Chu State.

If the situation in the world changes greatly in the future, and the offense and defense of Qi and Chu are switched, this Xue Jun will be the substitute ghost of the Song State, and the Song State will also have a reason to explain to the Qi State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sneered: "It seems that this King Song is not at ease either!" However, since the King of Song wanted the State of Chu to withstand the pressure of the State of Qi, then the widow would do as he pleased. ”

Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu had already reacted, so he became silent and did not speak.

Although Chu already knew Song Guo's small abacus, this did not affect the current overall situation.

······

Return to Chuying.

Xiong Huai immediately summoned the main general and ordered: "Zhuguo! ”

Jing Cui walked out of the queue and responded, "The minister is here." ”

"The widow wants to take Qing as a general, and command 100,000 Chu troops to attack Xuecheng."

"Command!"

"Defeated!"

"The minister is here."

"The widow wants to take Qing as a general, and also command 100,000 Chu troops to build fortifications east of Xuecheng, and guard against reinforcements from the east of Qi State."

"Command!"

After Tang Yu retreated, Xiong Huai said to Gongsun Yan, who had no sense of existence on the side: "Rhino head! ”

"The minister is here."

"The widow wants to hand over 20,000 Chu troops to the Qing Army, and be responsible for building the camp of our Chu army."

"The minister commands."

Then, Xiong Huai looked at the feudal monarchs in the tent, paused, and said, "Changsha Gong, Xiang Jun." ”

Changsha Gong and Xiang Jun stood up at the same time and arched their hands: "The minister is here!" ”

Xiong Huai watched the two of them silent for a while.

Xiang Jun is the feudal monarch of the Huaishui Basin, and the Duke of Changsha knows that he is the feudal monarch of the Dongting area by looking at the name.

This time, the king of Chu personally conquered the Qi country and transferred troops from the Jianghuai region and the Dongting region, and the feudal monarchs of the two places naturally came with their troops.

Let the army of the feudal monarch go to siege the city or field battle, maybe they can only exert seven or eight percent of their strength, but if they are allowed to rob, then they can exert twelve percent of their strength like other armies.

In line with the principle of making the best use of things, Xiong Huai said: "The widow intends to hand over all the remaining 30,000 troops to the two of you, and each lead half of the army to the east of Xue Di to requisition the treasury of various places. ”

The Duke of Changsha and Xiang Jun glanced at each other, and said with great joy: "The minister has an order!" ”

After saluting, Xiang Jun remembered the last time he plundered the Qi Kingdom, and pondered: "King, I wonder if we will rescue the people of Xue Di this time?" ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, shook his head and said: "No, this time, as long as the grain and the wealth of the city treasury, as for the people, it is better to leave it to the Song Kingdom!" ”
