Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and soon noticed the meaning of Chen Zhen's words, and then remembered what Chen Zhen said outside the city not long ago, the Yue people lost their minds, probably because of hatred.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help frowning.

Maybe Shandao City is just crazy because of Wang Xing, but the King of Yue, who was also killed in yesterday's battle, can expand the scope of hatred to the entire Yue Kingdom.

In addition, now all the Yue people think that the Chu people killed the king of Yue by despicable means, and they are not convinced.

The combination of hatred and disobedience is extremely unfavorable to both the next attack on various parts of the Yue State and the subsequent rule of the Chu State over the Yue State.

The former will make the Yue people resist desperately knowing that they are invincible, which will seriously hinder the Chu State's action to destroy the Yue, just like this good Dao City.

And the latter is to make the Yue people constantly rise up against the Chu State.

In this way, whether the Yue State is destroyed by the Chu State or not, I am afraid that it will become the quagmire of the war of the Chu State and seriously drag down the Chu State.

At this time, a sentence came out of Xiong Huai's mind inexplicably: Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's face couldn't help but change, and he immediately said to the ministers: "Zhuqing, the widow has never sent an assassin to assassinate the king of Yue, and the two countries fought a decisive battle, but it was a dignified duel, and he didn't use the slightest strategy. Why do the Yue people misunderstand the widow so much? ”

When the generals heard this, they were all silent.

The reason is simple and obvious.

Although externally, the decisive battle between Chu and Yue is beyond reproach in behavior, Chu knows in his heart how much preparation Chu has made in order to fight this battle. It can be said that from the moment the king of Yue accepted the invitation of Chu and sent troops to attack Qi, the outcome of the war was no longer in suspense.

The only thing that was not certain before the war was how much the Chu State would pay.

What's more, King Yue still died unclear on the battlefield, was assassinated by the Chu people, killed by Gongsun Hai, committed suicide, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky.

In this case, now the Yue people think that the methods of the Chu State are despicable and assassinate the King of Yue, which is naturally reasonable.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Xiong Huai thought about it for a while, and knew the reason, and he also understood the concerns of the ministers.

So, Xiong Huai laughed at himself: "In the past, Zheng Boke chased the uncle Duan, and "Zuo Biography" ridiculed and said: Zheng Boke Duan is in Yan. Shuyun: Duan is not a brother, so he is not a brother; Such as the second gentleman, so it is called Ke; called Zheng Bo, ridiculed and uneducated; It is called Zheng Zhi. It is difficult to run without saying anything. ”

Zheng Bo was the first tyrant Zheng Zhuang Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, and Gong Shu Duan was Zheng Bo's sibling, because his mother Wu Jiang did not like the eldest son Zheng Bo and liked the second son Gong Shu Duan, and asked Zheng Wu Gong to establish Gong Shu Duan as the king, so Zheng Bo has always had a grudge against Gong Shu Duan.

When Uncle Zheng ascended the throne, in order to drive away Uncle Duan, and at the same time to preserve Uncle Zheng's good name, he was unwilling to bear the notoriety of murdering his brother, so he began to cultivate his brother's ambition, so he sealed Uncle Duan in Chongdijing to show his favor. Later, Gongshu Duan's ambition was revealed, and the courtiers repeatedly advised Zheng Bo and asked for persuasion and teaching of Gongshu Duan, but Zheng Bo ignored him. It wasn't until Gongshu Duan was ready to send troops to attack the capital that Zheng Bo showed his hideous face and sent troops to attack Gongshu Duan.

The outcome of the war was similar to the battle of Chu and Yue. Gongshu Duan sent troops on the front foot, and all the territories under the rule of the back foot defected to Zheng Bo. Gongshu Duan immediately fled when he heard this, but was blocked by Zheng Bo in Yandi and fled in defeat.

Therefore, although Gongshu Duan rebelled first, although Zheng Bo occupied the moral high ground, and finally released Gongshu Duan. But the people at that time, as well as those who came after, all thought that it was Zheng Bo's fault, and it was Zheng Bo's deliberate failure to educate his younger brother well, which led to the brothers killing each other.

In the battle of Zheng Bo's brothers, Zheng Bo completely occupied morality, and there was nothing to blame on the surface, it was all the fault of Gongshu Duan. However, except for Uncle Zheng, everyone in the world at that time believed that Uncle Zheng murdered his younger brother and left a strong mark in the history books.

The same thing, there is also Zhao Dun's killing of the king.

Now, we have to add the battle of Chu Yue.

Although there is nothing wrong with the winning side on the surface, the world is not stupid, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. It's not that no one accuses face-to-face, it's indisputable, the world and future generations will comment that no one can block the world's mouths.

Xiong Huai already suspected, perhaps, at this moment, there was already a historian of a certain country who recorded in the history books: On a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, the king of Chu deceived Yu Huai.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked with an ugly face: "The matter has come to this point, I don't know why Zhuqing teaches the widow." ”

At this time, Chen Zhen, who still stayed in place and did not retreat, immediately surrendered his hand and said: "King, in order to convince the Yue people that I Chu people did not assassinate the Yue King, but Gongsun Hai killed the Yue King on the battlefield. The minister invited the king to mourn for the king of Yue and bury the king of Yue. In addition, he sent people to publicize Gongsun Hai's exploits to all parts of the country. ”

Xiong Huai immediately nodded when he heard this.

Chu State calculates the affairs of Yue Guo, so naturally he tries not to mention it if he can, and the key issue is still King Yue, and the issue that Yue people are most concerned about is also King Yue.

Therefore, it is imperative to throw all the responsibility for the death of King Yue to Gongsun Hai in order to comfort the Yue people.

As for whether the Yue people believe it or not, Xiong Huai believes that under the continuous victories of the Chu army, the Yue people will believe it sooner or later, and they can't help but believe it. After all, a traitor is always more hateful than an enemy.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately showed a sad look and said: "The king of Yue is aggressive, and he wants to unite the Qi country to forcibly take the Huaibei land of the widow, and the widow has repeatedly warned that it was not until the king of Yue killed the Chu camp that he was forced to raise troops to resist. The widow originally wanted to repel King Yue temporarily, and wait for King Yue to calm down, and then talk to King Yue. I don't want to..."

Xiong Huai sighed: "Alas, I don't want the king of Yue to be killed by the Yue general Gongsun Hai in the midst of ten thousand armies, this is really not the wish of the widow." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai nodded to Chen Zhen and said: "Chen Qing, the widow agreed to the matter of burying King Yue, please send someone to sew the head and body of King Yue, and tomorrow, the widow will personally hold a funeral for King Yue." Also, the dead prince's hooves and the generals of the Yue Kingdom will be reined in, and these strong men will be buried for the king of Yue tomorrow. ”

"The king is wise." Chen Zhen responded, then hesitated in his heart, and said secretly:

At this time period, as long as the king of Yue is buried, the Yue people can be appeased a little, and then Huairou means can be taken to appease the Yue people in the city, so that the resistance of the Yue people to the Chu State will be slightly eased, and it will not be long before the Yue people will hate Gongsun Hai, so the hatred will further subside.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhen retreated to his original place.

After Chen Zhen retreated, on the other side, behind the generals, Zhuang Ji saw that Chen Zhen did not continue to speak, but retreated, and was stunned for a moment.

Wang Xing is the Huaibei Shou, and his reputation in Huaibei is very high, Chen Zhen has already mentioned the King of Yue, why not mention Wang Xing, in order to collect the heart of Huaibei?

Then, after a turn of thought, I understood Chen Zhen's concerns.

In the decisive battle the day before yesterday, the reason why the Chu army suffered heavy losses was all because of the suggestion put forward by Wang Xing, perhaps, the king of Chu was still angry with Wang Xing in his heart.

What's more, the State of Chu does not attach importance to Huaibei at all, and there is no Huaibei that really wants to cross the country.

Because of this, Chen Zhen will ignore Wang Xing, and all the generals will ignore Wang Xing.

Thinking about it, Zhuang Ji secretly glanced at the King of Chu and said secretly: The King of Chu has always been merciful, so he shouldn't scold people with his words!

Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, and in the spirit of seeking wealth and danger, he hoped to leave a deep impression in the heart of King Chu. So, he came out and said: "The king, the minister has a strategy, so that all parts of Huaibei in the Yue Kingdom can take the initiative to come to the king." ”
