Then, Xiong Huai turned his head to Chen Zhen and said: "What is Keqing's crime, the original plan of Keqing and the rhino head had expected the possibility of the Qin army sneaking up on the Chu State. Not only you, but even the widows didn't expect the Qin State to be so crazy. ”

"Xianqing, you and the rhino head are the proposers of the plan, according to your opinion, how should our Chu State respond."

Chen Zhen was stunned for a while when he saw the King of Chu by name, and finally bowed to the King of Chu: "King, the minister doesn't dare to say it." ”

Xiong Huai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chen Zhen holding back such a sentence in a half-loud voice, and said: "Qing Jingguan said bluntly, the final decision is only the widow, the success or failure of the widow, the widow will consider it, and it has nothing to do with Xianqing." ”

Chen Zhen was very grateful when he heard this, but he didn't get up, and still didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju said: "Great King, in the face of the sneak attack of the Qin State, our Chu State has only two paths, one of which is currently without risk, but there is a great hidden danger, and the other is a great risk, once it fails, then our Chu State will be weakened, but if it succeeds, then the King and the Chu State will immediately achieve hegemony." ”

"Keqing's strategy, that is the second one, once it fails, the risk taken by our Chu State is not something that a courtier can bear."

After Xiong Huai knew Chen Zhen's concerns, he spoke: "You also underestimate the widow, is the widow the kind of person who takes credit for himself if he succeeds, and shirks his responsibility if he fails." ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately looked at Qu Yuan, intentionally or unintentionally, this was a living example in front of them.

No wonder Chen Zhen didn't dare to say that if his proposal failed again, without the identity of Qu Yuan's Qu clan, he would definitely have to kneel.

Qu Yuan had an expression of not hearing anything at this time, if he could, Qu Yuan would be eager to disappear from the King of Chu immediately at this time.

The small movements of the ministers were immediately noticed by Xiong Huai.

, I'm going to have to take the pot again.

When Xiong Huai saw Qu Yuan, how could he not know what the ministers were thinking, it was clear that he didn't believe himself.

But what's wrong with slapping his face on the spot, Xiong Huai is not embarrassed at all, and he said with a thick-faced expression that I am the king of Chu: "If the ministers have any suggestions, just put them forward, and the widow swears with the ministers, once it fails, the widow will bear it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhen bowed again, got up and said: "Great King, the core of our Chu State's plan before was to force the alliance with Wei to split the alliance, force Qin to attack Qi, and then win over Qi Zhao to compete with Qin for hegemony. ”

"Now because of Qin's sneak attack, a key part of the plan has failed. But the core of the plan did not fail, but came one step closer to success. ”

"For example, today's general trend is still to attack the Qi State, and the Qin State first married and formed an alliance with our Chu State, and then attacked the Chu State, such a treacherous behavior is really rare, and it will inevitably make the Zhao and Wei countries that are fighting against the Qi State feel cold, so it will be easier for our Chu State to win over Zhao and Wei."

Hearing this, Doctor Shangguan sneered and retorted: "Keqing's words are very wrong, although Zhao Wei and the two are disappointed in the Qin State, will they join our Chu State." ”

Then, Doctor Shangguan saluted to the King of Chu and said, "King, the most concerned issue of Zhao and Wei now is the Qi State, as long as whoever attacks the Qi State, then the two of them will take refuge in whom." If our Chu State wants to win over Zhao Wei, unless we attack the Qi State. ”

Chen Zhen nodded and said: "Great King, that's exactly the case, as long as our Zhu State Department immediately sends troops to attack Qi State, we can win over Zhao and Wei." After defeating the Qi State, he collected the troops of Zhao Wei and raised his troops to the west, and the Qin State was defeated without a fight. ”

As soon as these words came out, some people who didn't understand Chen Zhen's plan suddenly took a big breath of cold air.

The same is true for the bear.

Now that he was still discussing the matter of rescuing the general Qu Kuo to deal with the Qin State, Chen Zhen suggested sending troops to attack the Qi State and at the same time engage Qin Qi at the same time.

It's either that Chen Zhen is crazy, or he is going crazy.

Qu Yuan asked: "If our Chu State attacks the Qi State, then what will the Great General do, once the Great General is defeated, then the Zhao Rat in Hanzhong will face the danger of annihilation." In this way, if the army is lost and the land is lost, the state of Chu will inevitably be greatly weakened, and the state of Qin will get Hanzhong, and our state of Chu will fall into a disadvantageous position in the face of the state of Qin. ”

Chen Zhen said: "The general's department naturally has to be saved, the general's department has 150,000 troops, weapons, food and grass are sufficient, and there is a strong military camp to rely on, if you stick to the camp, you can hold out for more than a month." ”

"General Zhao Rat has 100,000 troops in Hanzhong, if you only need to defend Hanzhong, then only 30,000 elite soldiers are needed, which is enough to defend against the attack in the direction of Qin Nanzheng."

"If we send reinforcements from Yingdu, plus the local soldiers in the Danshui and Hanshui areas, together with the general's army, then there will be 300,000 troops, although the advance is insufficient, but if it is a defensive war against the Qin State, it is not impossible."

Qu Yuan objected when he heard this: "King, this is too dangerous, not to mention that the general is currently in danger, and by the time the reinforcements arrive, he will definitely have suffered heavy losses." Even if the general's forces are not damaged, 300,000 troops against 500,000 Qin-Han coalition forces, this is also a dangerous thing. ”

Doctor Shangguan swallowed his saliva and shook his head, it was rare that he did not object to Qu Yuan, and agreed: "King, this matter is too dangerous. ”

Xiong Huai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked Chen Zhen, "Xianqing, are there any other strategies?" ”

Chen Zhen said: "Great King, the first way for our Chu State is to immediately transfer the Zhu State Jingcui Department to rescue the general, our Chu State will fight with the Qin State again, but the Qin and Han coalition forces have 500,000 people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and it will inevitably fall into a protracted situation." ”

"And the loss of the armies of Qin and Chu, with only the armies of Zhao and Wei plus Yue and Chu in the east, if Qi conducts a defensive war, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Qi in a short time. After a long time, the countries are exhausted, so the matter of cutting Qi can only be stopped. ”

"At that time, the State of Qi will completely annex the State of Yan, the east is the sea, the south is separated from the State of Chu, and there is the Great Wall of the State of Yan in the north, so there will be no worries about the future, such an unprecedentedly powerful State of Qi will overwhelm the countries, which is a great long-term hidden danger."

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, one choice is to take risks now, and the other choice is to be very pitiful in the future, and there are problems with how to choose.

Doctor Shangguan said incredulously: "What is the benefit of the strength of the Qi State to the Qin State, why did the Qin State pay such a big price to attack the Chu State." ”

Zhao Ju sighed and said, "The strength of the Qi State, for the Qin State, it will take a long time for the danger to be revealed. Before, when our Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty put pressure on the Qi State, the Qin State was watching the excitement from behind, and the Qi State was a little far away from the Qin State. ”

There are still three Jin Dynasty between Qi State and Qin State, unless Qi State completely defeats the Three Jins, otherwise Qi State is still no threat to Qin State.

Xiong Huai was silent, Jing Cui's army did not support Qu Kuo, then for the state of Chu, the western front was too dangerous. If Jing Cui returns to the west, then there will be no one to suppress the Qi State.

And a big war with the Qin State, then for the Chu State, it will only lose its troops and lose both sides in the end, but there will be no gain.
