Yingdu, Fang City.

A few people were discussing the supplies in front of them, when suddenly, a group of soldiers came from outside and drove them aside.

When the soldiers walked away, one of them said angrily, "These soldiers. Relying on his sword and shield, and showing off his might, this new king is worse than the previous king. ”

One of the men next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alas, who let them have the king's backing?" ”

"Alas," said one of the people on the left, too, "you don't know, that this throne did not belong to him,"

"What?" The crowd was shocked.

"Actually, this throne ,,,,," the man said cautiously,,,

A few days later, Yingdu and Fang City have spread Xiong Huai's throne is not right and Xiong Huai is trying his best to suppress some meritorious heroes, virtuous ministers, Xiong Huai is a tyrant This kind of rumor is unfavorable to Xiong Huai, although Yingdu Shou Zhaosui repeatedly suppressed these rumors, however, this rumor is still spreading at a considerable speed, and in this rumor, Jing Shao has not appeared from beginning to end, however, Xiong Huai's recent measures with the second rumor, people subconsciously think that Jing Shao is the suppressed hero, the suppressed virtuous minister.

In desperation, Zhao Sui could only report this situation to Xiong Huai.

When the music was sent to Xiong Huai, Xiong Huai did not show the expression that Zhao Sui expected, but laughed, Zhao Sui didn't know if Xiong Huai's laughter was because he was so angry or because he was on guard.

"Such remarks can confuse the people of my Chu State, how stupid the people of Chu State are!" Xiong Huai was really amused by this rumor, "Gongzi Jia is just a small soldier, the first king knew that he was cruel and unkind, so he was transferred into the army, and now he actually said that he is the object that the first king wants to support, hahaha, the widow is also admired, who can make up such a rumor." ”

However, Xiong Huai is still a little worried. Because the people of Chu are too ignorant and ignorant, they are blinded by this little rumor, and they are too easy to be taken advantage of, which is not good.

"The King. The minister tried to suppress the rumor of the people, but the people became more and more convinced of the truth of the rumor. The minister really couldn't think of any other way. Zhao Sui clasped his fists and said,

Xiong Huai threw the piece in his hand and said, "It's okay, this kind of thing can't be suppressed, I want to let his rumors be self-defeating." ”

Zhao Sui was puzzled and asked: "Dare to ask the king how to make the rumors self-defeating, the minister is really puzzled?" ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said, "Pass on the widow's edict, within a year, Da Chu will cultivate and recuperate, and the tax will be reduced by half!" Second, Feng Jingshao was Mo Ao, and the position of Zhu Guo was taken over by Zhaoyang. ”

Zhao Sui suddenly realized, isn't this the best way to solve the current problem?

Since he said that you are a tyrant, well, I reduce taxes, and the eyes of the people can see, and the people must not think that a monarch who reduces taxes is a faint king.

You say he suppressed Jing Shao? Okay, Xiong Huai raised Jing Shao's position high, can you say that he suppressed Jing Shao? Meantime. For Jing Shao's promotion, Xiong Huai also moved his heart, Ling Yin is the head of the hundred officials of Chu State, but there is no military power, and the military power is in the hands of Zhu Guo, which is equivalent to setting up Jing Shao's military power.

Anyway, Xiong Huai just pays attention to one point, that is, the right to constantly overhead Jing Shao. Now it's the right to war. The future will be the regime, step by step.

Just when the two sides were fighting openly and secretly, an unexpected thing happened.

A soldier with broken armor rushed into the palace and brought bad news - Wei sent 80,000 troops to attack Jingshan.

"Wei Fu deceived me when I was young!" Xiong Huai threw the piece in his hand to the ground with all his strength, and the piece touched the pillar in the hall and was smashed into pieces.

Jing Shao almost laughed out loud when he saw Xiong Huai's angry look, he was made angry so easily, and his temper was so short-tempered, tsk, there was something to do.

After venting, Xiong Huai coldly glanced at the ministers below and asked: "Wei State's move, taking advantage of the danger of others, if you don't take revenge, my Dachu will lose face, everyone, who wants to lead the army?" ”

The people below were silent and did not speak, one by one did not dare to raise their heads, the corners of Xiong Huai's mouth raised, and he snorted.

Jing Shao's heart was already happy. Look, who stands with Xiong Huai? From this point. It has already been shown that Xiong Huai is unpopular and will step down sooner or later.

Xiong Huai saw that no one below spoke, and said coldly: "Since they are all afraid, then the widow will personally appoint it, Qu Beggar, and listen to the order!" ”

Qu was shocked. He and Fenghou Chou looked at each other, stepped forward helplessly, and said, "The minister is here!" And Jing Shao's face on the side changed greatly, and he found that something was wrong.

Xiong Huai pointed at the two and said, "You two, Tongying has 50,000 elites, and you will attack the Wei army!" ”

"No!" The two replied helplessly.

Jing Shao on the side suddenly panicked, Yingdu 50,000 elites, isn't this his person? Qu beggar, Feng Hou ugly, this is also his person.

Jing Shao couldn't help but sigh that Xiong Huai's trick was practical and good, and in the name of facing the Wei army, he pulled out the soldiers and right-hand men in Jing Shao's hands and transferred them out of the central circle.

However, although Jing Shao lamented that Xiong Huai was good at using these conspiracies, he still disagreed with this matter and stood up. said: "King, the elite of Yingdu is the army that wants to garrison Yingdu, if these 50,000 soldiers are transferred to Jingshan, then who will protect the safety of Yingdu?" ”

Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Sui. said: "There are still soldiers who are going to be garrisoned in Yingdu, and there are no thieves in the country, so it is naturally enough." ”

Jing Shao couldn't convince Xiong Huai from this point of view, and said: "Even so, the Wei State has declined, and it is probably a bit inappropriate to use 50,000 troops." According to the minister's opinion, 20,000 people are enough. ”

20,000 people, isn't it just to send people's heads, Xiong Huai was shown by Jing Shao's words, turned around and asked Qu Qi and the others, and asked, "Do you two think 20,000 people are enough?" ”

Jing Shao looked at Qu Qi and looked at him vigorously, Qu Qi said with some embarrassment: "This ,,, has not yet started a war, and the minister has no confidence that he will definitely win." ”

Jing Shao secretly said that Qu Beggar was not strong, and hurriedly said: "Great King, according to Sima's talent, 20,000 people are enough, Da Chu has just finished coming out of the pain of the previous king, and he can't use his troops to fight." ”

Xiong Huai snorted and said, "Ling Yin, if you think that 20,000 people are enough, why don't you let Ling Yin lead the army?" ”

Jing Shao hurriedly excused himself and said: "The minister is already old, and the minister's talent is not as good as Sima, only Sima can defeat the Wei army with 20,000 horses." ”

Qu Beggar next to him had already scolded Jing Shao for 20,000 to 80,000 in his heart, isn't this purely a gift to someone's head, although these two people are allies, but they can't be so tricky.

Xiong Huai became serious and said: "This matter, the widow has made up his mind, there is no need to say more, if anyone thinks that 20,000 people is enough, then you can come and command the army." ”

"King!" Jing Shao objected again, saying, "I am the Great Chu Lingyin, and the king still needs my consent in this matter, right?" ”

I had long expected you to say this, Xiong Huai glanced at Jing Shao and said, "Ling Yin, he is just the head of a hundred officials, how can he have the authority to command the army?" Stand down. ”

Jing Shao saw that he couldn't shake Xiong Huai, so he retreated.

Looking at Jing Shao's appearance, Xiong Huai couldn't help but want to laugh, I didn't expect it, I crossed over, I already expected this war, you just suffer obediently.
