Chen Zhen noticed Dao Douyou's gaze, nodded slightly, and then immediately arched his hand: "The king, the ministers have heard it, the country is coupled, and the root of the chaotic country." Therefore, the size of a large local city cannot exceed one-third of the national capital, a medium-sized city cannot exceed one-fifth of the national capital, and a small city cannot exceed one-ninth.

The purpose is to prevent the local power from becoming too strong and the state from being able to check and balance. Once something happens to the country, I am afraid that the country will be divided into two. This Shou County was originally a big city in Huainan, and the grain and grass in the city were like mountains, and if the money from all over the country was transported here, the minister was worried that this place would become a place of chaos for the Chu State. ”

Xiong Huai thought about it, shook his head, and said with a firm attitude: "It's okay, no one has their own decision in this matter." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhen glanced at the King of Chu, and saw that the attitude of the King of Chu was extremely firm and unquestionable, so he sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Seeing this, Dou You was about to say something more, when a guard reported outside: "King, Qiu Liquid, Song Guoyaqing is visiting. ”

Dou You froze for a moment, then sighed lightly and retreated.

On the other side, Xiong Huai saw that Dou Yu was retreating, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then smiled: "Qiu liquid? It seems that the lobbyists of Zhao and Song are here! ”

Xiong Huai knew something about Qiu Liquid, who was originally a minister of Zhao State, and was invited back to Song by the King of Song to serve in order to balance the Chu forces in the country.

Therefore, Qiu Liquid represents not only the Song State, but also the Zhao State.

Thinking about this, Xiong Huai shouted outside: "Please come in!" ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai instructed Chen Zhen: "Chen Qing, please go and greet the envoy!" ”

"Yui!"

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at the Qiu Liquid below and asked, "Where did the envoy come from?" ”

Qiu Ye arched his hand and said: "Great King, a few months ago, the countries met to crusade against Qi and Wei, and now the two countries of Qi and Wei have not surrendered, but the coalition forces have scattered and retreated, and the widow is very regretful. Not long ago, the widow heard that the king of Yue accidentally offended the king, so that the king and the king of Yue fought with Huaibei, and as a result, the king of Lianyue was killed by the king.

Afterwards, the widow learned of this news and said to the ministers of the country: With the wisdom and benevolence of the king, it is definitely not out of the king's original intention to kill the king of Yue, but that the sin of the king of Yue is unforgivable, so it will cause the king to be angry.

Originally, the widow thought that the king killed the king of Yue and obtained the Huaibei land of the Yue country, and he must have been discouraged, and he would support Yue Gongzi Yu to ascend the throne, so that Chu and Yue would be more valuable than good. But I don't want to, the widow heard a few days ago that the king actually attacked the Yue country on a large scale, and Huainan and Jiangdong were all conquered by the king. Not only that, Yue Wang Jiu also asked the widow for help, saying that the king was still angry, and sent Sima Tang to attack Yuedi, and the destruction of Yue was imminent.

The widow was shocked when he heard this, remembering that in the past few years, the three kingdoms of Chu, Yue and Song have been allies, and the widow has some friendship with the king and the king of Yue, so the widow sent a minister to ask, I don't know what the king means?

In addition, the widow wants to ask the king to look at the past feelings, ask to be able to make peace in the bureau, and ask the king to open up to the Yue Guo network and withdraw the army from Yuedi! ”

"Withdrawal?" When Xiong Huai heard Song Guo's request, he immediately showed a sneer.

Don't say that he is reluctant in his heart, just say that Chu and Yue are fighting like this, how can Chu give up halfway, leaving a Yue country full of hatred, always waiting for an opportunity to retaliate in the back.

Just like the Yan country is to the Qi country, always be on guard.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai spoke: "The Yue country is supported by my Chu country, and in the past, the land of the Yue country was no more than a hundred miles in diameter, and the people were only hundreds of thousands. With the support of our Chu State, we were able to destroy the Wu State, and then occupy Jianghuai, expand the land for thousands of miles, and dominate the world. As a result, after the Yue State became strong, he did not think about reciprocating it, and he always invaded my Chu State. ”

"Since the widow ascended the throne, the king of Yue has invaded Huainan of our Chu State for fifteen years, occupying a large territory of Huainan, and the widow is deeply ashamed. Later, Chu and Yue made peace, jointly crusaded against Qi, and sent troops to contain Qi, so that Song and Yue could capture Xue Di Langya. As a result, after the king of Yue captured Langya, he immediately formed an alliance with the state of Qi, intending to unite the two countries of Qi and Wei to attack the widows.

Is it tolerable or intolerable? Therefore, the widow decided to recapture Huainan, which originally belonged to the Chu State, in order to teach the Yue State a lesson. As for the land of Huaibei, it was not what the widow wanted, so after the widow finished resting, he withdrew his army from Huaibei, leaving not a single soldier. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Liquid did not manage Huainan and Huaibei, this area was originally the land of Wu, Chu and Yue had been fighting here for many years, and they couldn't figure out which place belonged to which country.

Anyway, it didn't belong to them before.

Thinking about it, Qiu Ye asked directly: "King, the widow has no objection to the land of Huainan, but what the widow doesn't understand is why the Chu army attacked Wu and even Yuedi?" Could it be that the king plans to follow the example of the violent Qi, destroy the Yue country, and take the Yue land for himself? ”

These words are very serious, and the destruction of another great power for no reason is enough to make countries afraid. Although the State of Chu is ready, it can't annex the Yue State like this, and it has to give the countries a step down.

So, Xiong Huai immediately shook his head and sneered: "Where did the envoy say, how could the widow want to annex the Yue Kingdom!" The reason why the widows attacked Wu was because the widows planned to restore the Wu State, set up Wu Jun in the Wu land, and inherit the blood sacrifice of the Wu State. Survival is interrupted, this is the original intention of the widow.

As for the attack on Yuedi, it was because the widow planned to set up the son of the king of Yue in Yuedi, Gongzi, and the Yue people supported Gongzi, so there was this battle.

If the king of Song can persuade Gongzi to come to the widow in person to ask for guilt, go to the king's name, and give way to Gongzi Qian, the widow can immediately withdraw his troops from Yuedi and establish Gongzi as the king. ”

"This..." When Qiu Ye heard King Chu's last words, he was immediately annoyed in his heart.

This King of Chu was not only full of quibbles, but also fooled him with hatred and King Song as a fool on the spot.

Not to mention whether the King of Song has the ability to let Yue Wang Jiu personally ask the King of Chu to ask for guilt, even if he has, he can't take the Song State to make a wedding dress for the Chu State.

Qiu Ye saw that the king of Chu had made up his mind, and he was unwilling to give face to Zhao and Song, so he spit out the Yue Kingdom. He planned to return to the Song State immediately to make an early map, so as not to let the Song State follow the Chu State to accompany the funeral.

Thinking about it, Qiu Ye smiled and said, "I see, it seems that the minister has misunderstood the king." Before, the State of Qi sent an envoy to the State of Song, saying that the king coveted the land of Yueguo, did not hesitate to betray the oath, betrayed the heavens, fooled the ghosts and gods, plotted against the king of Yue, deceived Gongzi Yu, and coerced Yue Wangjiu to achieve the goal of annexing the Yue Kingdom.

Now, after listening to the king's explanation, he knows that the king is a benevolent and righteous king, and he will not covet the territory of the country. In addition, the minister asked the king to rest assured that the Qi State intends to unite all the countries in the world to jointly avenge the actions of the Yue Kingdom, and the ministers will advise the widow to consider it in detail, and will also make the king's plan public to the countries, so as not to misunderstand the king in various countries.

Finally, the minister asked the king to fulfill his promise as soon as possible, so as to reassure all the countries of the world. lest the countries think that the king is unwilling to set up another Yue monarch and rebuild the state of Wu, which will cause the countries to be angry and jointly attack Chu. ”
