Xiong Huai looked back when he heard this, and sure enough, Chen Zhen seemed to be in a hurry and was approaching.

When Chen Zhen came closer, without waiting for him to salute, Xiong Huai asked with a smile: "Xianqing, I came to find the widow in such a hurry, but there is any important news, but the news from Wucheng has come." ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and responded, "King, it's not Wu Cheng, it's Hu Ren's side." ”

"Hu Ren?"

Xiong Huai was stunned, and he didn't know why Chen Zhen suddenly reported the news of Hu Ren.

Seeing the inquiring gaze of the King of Chu, Chen Zhen responded: "In order to avenge the hatred of the land, King Zhao personally led the army to conquer King Lin Hu, the king of Lou, regardless of the pressure of Zhongshan Kingdom. Seven days ago, the three parties held a decisive battle, and as a result, after a fierce battle for half a day, the Zhao army won a great victory because some tribes of King Lou and King Lin Hu defected. Then, King Zhao took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then attacked the headquarters of King Loufu.

Five days ago, King Lou couldn't stand the pressure of Zhao Jun and officially asked King Zhao for peace. In the end, King Lou Fu and King Lin Hu agreed to Zhao's request for trade, ceded the southern pastures to Zhao, compensated Zhao for a large number of war horses, allowed Zhao to recruit cavalry from their tribe, and also promised to transfer a cavalry from the headquarters for Zhao Wang's dispatch, and only after Zhao Wang agreed to their request for peace. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and said in surprise: "Commerce, land cutting, compensation, vassals, such harsh conditions have been agreed, which shows that the king of Lou Fu has lost very badly." ”

Chen Zhen nodded and said: "It's really miserable, the headquarters of Lou Fu was broken by King Zhao, lost all the cattle, sheep, women and children, and was almost chased by King Zhao to the territory of the Huns, and he really couldn't hold on, so he surrendered to King Zhao." ”

Gongsun Yan asked: "The warriors of Lou Fu have always been known for their good fighting, why did they lose so badly, could it be that there are many tribes who defected to King Zhao?" ”

"The rhino head is as wise as a torch, exactly." Chen Zhen nodded and explained: "Over the years, King Zhao has frequently recruited horsemen from the tribes in the north and given them generous treatment. And before this battle, King Zhao had already bought many tribes with their hearts towards Zhao.

As a result, under the First World War, King Lou Fu and King Lin Hu not only suffered heavy losses in their headquarters and were unable to suppress other tribes in their sphere of influence, but also many tribes took the opportunity to break away from the rule and threw themselves into the arms of Zhao, resulting in a sharp decrease in overall strength, and I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with the pressure of the Huns further north. ”

Xiong Huai was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Lou Fu warriors, you are good at riding and shooting, now that Zhao Guo has obtained the strength of King Lou Fu and King Lin Hu, I am afraid that it will increase in strength and be difficult to control." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Lou Fu, like Zhongshan Kingdom, is a branch of the Di people, the people are fierce, and worship force. Unlike the Zhongshan Kingdom, which was deeply rooted in the Central Plains, the Lou Fu Kingdom still retained the nomadic tradition, especially good at riding and archery.

Then, Xiong Huai showed a heavy gaze and said: "The strength of the Zhao State, although the two countries of Qi and Wei bear the brunt, and have no direct impact on our Chu State, but the King of Zhao will undoubtedly break through Qin first, and then break Beihu, and it will undoubtedly be a big momentum." If Zhao did not send troops to attack Qi and Wei, but planned to take the opportunity to establish the position of the head of the Three Jins, and Han and Wei also planned to take the opportunity to join Zhao, and Zhao was the leader.

In this way, the three Jin Dynasty will be reunited, and the strategy of our Chu State to divide Han and Wei will all be in vain under the adjustment of Zhao State. ”

Gongsun Yan sighed: "Great King, not only is the divisive plan useless, but our plan to call on all countries to besiege Wei is very likely to fail immediately. ”

Saying that, Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said: "Great King, with the minister's understanding of Wei and Han, I am afraid that Wei and Han have already sent envoys to Zhao State." Once Wei and Han reached a reconciliation in Zhao and then retreated, then the three kingdoms of Qin, Song, and Yue would also retreat. Then, a big war against the state of Chu is about to begin. ”

Xiong Huai gasped when he heard this.

This Chu State has not yet launched an operation to destroy the Yue State, and a battle to overthrow Chu seems to have come.

Xiong Huai suddenly felt that it seemed that the State of Chu had been too high-profile in the past few years, and had been in the focus of various countries, and every move would trigger a series of reactions.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sighed: "The few people have tasted it, the big bully is only five, and the small bully is only three, this is too right." No matter which country it is, as long as it becomes a hegemon, it will not be long before it will be besieged by all countries and then weakened. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai asked: "At this moment, I don't know why the two virtuous people teach the widow, and how the widow should break the situation." ”

Gongsun Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Great King, although the battle of weak Chu is imminent, this does not affect our battle to destroy Yue. In order to destroy the Yue country, we have been preparing for more than ten years, and even the arrows have been shot, so we can only shoot the Yue country on the spot, otherwise, the Yue country will inevitably become a big disaster. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, according to the news, the army led by Tang Wu must have arrived in Wucheng at this time, in this case, let Yue Guo go?

Fighting the tiger does not die, and the truth of endless troubles, how can Xiong Huai not understand.

Just like Qi and Yan, this is simply fatal!

What's more, King Yue Goujian has already staged a Jedi counter-killing scene, and Xiong Huai doesn't want King Yue to give himself such a play.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said unswervingly: "Yue Guo, the widow is going to be decided." ”

Gongsun Yan saw that the king of Chu agreed, and then said: "King, as for the next battle of weak Chu, in fact, my Chu country still has a chance. At present, Zhao State is the key to the weakness of all countries, but the biggest problem also lies in Zhao State, that is, Zhao State does not border our Chu State, and attacking Chu State has too little benefit for Zhao State.

Therefore, the minister thought that he could send an envoy to Zhao to lobby King Zhao and persuade King Zhao to attack the countries around him, such as Zhongshan! ”

Xiong Huai nodded: "What the rhino head said, you can give it a try, if Zhao Guo does not take the lead, then only Wei and Han will not have the courage to immediately dare to send troops to attack Chu." ”

Gongsun Yan continued: "The king, as well as the Yan State, there is no contradiction between Chu and Yan, and we can also persuade the King of Yan to lobby the King of Zhao with us, as long as the King of Zhao does not set his sights on the Chu State, even if it is worth paying some price." ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded and said to Chen Zhen: "Chen Qing, immediately send envoys to Yan and Zhao to lobby them. ”

Chen Zhen responded: "Only." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said again: "Also, the widow wants Qing to send someone to contact Gongzi Hoof and tell him that Gongzi Yu has established himself as the king of Yue in Wucheng." ”

Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
