Chapter 606: Strategy
Yingdu.
The news that the armies of various countries began to converge on the border of Chu continued to reach the Yingdu of Chu, which immediately shook Yingdu. Although the state of Chu is ready, but in the face of this wind and wave that is enough to destroy the country, when the king of Chu is not in Yingdu, the entire Yingdu seems to have no confidence, fear, and no sense of ease.
Just when Yingdu was overwhelmed by this wind and rain, the king of Chu finally returned to Yingdu, and for a while, the ministers of Yingdu seemed to have found the backbone again, and their hearts were a lot more stable.
On the third day of Xiong Huai's return to Yingdu, the two Chu ministers who had been expelled by the Song king returned to Yingdu.
"Doctor Shangguan, Doctor Zuo!" Xiong Huai listened to Jing Li's report, and there was a hint of mockery on his face.
Song Guo said that it is not big, and it is not small when it is small. If the Song State betrayed the alliance, this would definitely be a major blow to the Lianheng Alliance, especially when the Song State was embarrassed and oppressed by various countries, which greatly increased the probability of winning over the Song State.
At a time when the State of Chu urgently needs to understand the internal situation of the Song State, these two ministers of the State of Chu returned to Yingdu to resume their lives, isn't this the will of heaven!
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately spoke: "Ling Yin, quickly pass them in, the widow wants to see them!" โ
"Yui!"

In the temple.
Xiong Huai looked at the two of them, went straight to the point, and asked, "The two virtuous ministers have returned from the Song Kingdom, I don't know what the situation is in the Song Kingdom?" โ
As soon as Doctor Shangguan heard that the King of Chu was asking about Song Guo, a strong sense of resentment suddenly surged into his heart.
At first, the king of Song asked the state of Chu to send a Song minister, and the doctor of Shangguan was reluctant to go, but he couldn't bear the deliberate currying favor of the king of Song and repeated invitations, so he agreed to go to the state of Song to serve as the prime minister for the sake of the king of Chu's face.
As a result, when he arrived in the Song Kingdom, the situation was different from what he imagined.
It didn't take long for him to discover that the King of Song had asked him to be the Song Minister, not because of his talent, but because of his status in the Chu State.
Therefore, although he became the Song Xiang and had a lofty position in the Song State, he was a virtual minister, and most of the real power in the Song State was in the hands of Song Qing Hui'an, and he did not gain much power.
Subsequently, Zhao Chen Qiu Ye served as the secretary of Song Guoya, not only divided half of the few powers in his hands, but also confronted him-for-tat in the court.
And in his confrontation with Qiu Li, King Song would support Qiu Li in most cases, causing him to be repeatedly overturned by Qiu Li and becoming the laughing stock of the Song government.
During that period of time, if it weren't for the face of the King of Chu, Doctor Shangguan would have resigned and returned to Chu State a long time ago.
However, what Doctor Shangguan never expected was that after the two countries of Chu and Song became enemies, the King of Song did not let him take the initiative to resign, but directly expelled him, ripped off the little face he had from his face, and then still stepped on the ground and stepped on it fiercely. It was as if the king of Song invited him from Chu to Song in order to humiliate him.
Therefore, before leaving Shangqiu, he did not hesitate to refuse in the face of the gold given by Hui An.
Could it be that for the sake of a mere daughter, he would scare his face, throw away his face, and go thousands of miles to the door to send humiliation?
Humiliation, the moment Doctor Shangguan left Song Capital in a gloomy manner, he felt endless humiliation.
From Shangqiu to Yingdu, this long journey not only did not weaken the sense of humiliation in his heart, but intensified, as if the whole person was ignited.
At this moment, as soon as he heard the words of the King of Chu, the anger in his heart was hooked out, and he immediately said angrily: "Great King, in the past, the two countries of Chu and Song formed an alliance, and the Song State relied on our country, and the fox and the tiger were mighty, and they gained a lot of benefits. Moreover, two years ago, my Chu State disregarded itself and seized Xue Di for the Song State. As a result, King Song did not care about the love of Wantian at all.
Not only did he immediately turn his face against our Chu State, but he also conspired with other countries to attack Chu State. What's more, when the minister was in the Song Kingdom, he heard that the King of Song secretly cursed the king, which was tolerable, but it was unbearable. โ
As he spoke, Doctor Shangguan bowed loudly: "The king, the king humiliates the ministers to death, if the Song Dynasty is cut down in the future, the ministers are willing to drive forward for the king, not to destroy the Song Kingdom, and swear not to give up!" โ
Xiong Huai's face did not change when he heard this.
King Song's actions, and even sacrificial cursing him, were all expected by him.
After all, this time the Song State was indeed miserable by the Chu State.
What Dr. Shangguan said was not the answer Xiong Huai hoped for.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said lightly: "Okay, Xianqing has a heart." โ
As he spoke, Xiong Huai's gaze turned to Doctor Zuo Cheng and asked, "I don't know if Xianqing has anything to say to the widow?" โ
Zuo Chengfang had been silently observing the face of the King of Chu when Doctor Shangguan spoke. As a result, there was no change in the face of the King of Chu, even if Doctor Shangguan mentioned that the King of Song cursed the King of Chu, the King of Chu was unmoved.
Seeing this, Zuo Cheng knew in his heart that what the King of Chu cared about was not the attitude of the Song State towards the Chu State, and there was no need for the ministers to share the same hatred with the King of Chu.
At this time, when he heard the king of Chu's inquiry, he immediately responded: "Your lord, before the minister went to the Song Kingdom, he carefully observed the movements of the Song Kingdom, and then found that the Song Kingdom was very resentful of my Chu State, and at the same time, he was also very afraid of my Chu State.
There are three fears: first, they are worried that the relationship between Chu and Song is too close, and the pond fish will be affected when various countries invade Chu; Second, he was worried that after the destruction of the Yue State of Chu, the target would be on the Song State, so he joined forces with other countries to attack Chu; Third, they are worried that after the countries attack Chu, when the Chu State recovers, they will retaliate against the Song State. Song was weak and Chu was strong, and once Chu started a war against Song, even if Song did not die, it would be greatly weakened.
In addition, in recent years, the contradictions between the Song State and the Qi and Wei countries have been extremely deep, and the Song State is even more worried that even if the Song State follows the countries to attack Chu, it will not be able to eliminate the contradictions between the Song State and the Qi Wei State. On the contrary, after the attack on Chu, after the two countries of Chu and Song turned against each other, when there were no reinforcements from outside the Song Dynasty, they sent troops to retaliate against the Song State.
Before the expulsion of the ministers and the Shangguan doctors, the news that the Song king was humiliated in Luoyi and was forced to cede Xue Di to the Qi State reached Shangqiu. not only made the ministers of the Song State angry, but also made more ministers of the Song State make friends with the ministers, which is a sign of the centrifugation of the Song State and other countries. โ
As he spoke, Zuo Cheng remembered the daughter given by Hui Ang before leaving Shangqiu, and immediately said: "King, the king of Song expelled the doctor and the ministers, but did not kill the two ministers to sacrifice the flag, it is out of this ambivalence. That is, to cut down Chu, and at the same time, he did not dare to offend the Chu State too much. โ
Xiong Huai glanced at Zuo Cheng in great surprise, and suddenly found that his ability and insight were far above that of Doctor Shangguan.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled at Zuo Cheng and said: "Xianqing is observant, insightful, and very kind!" โ
Zuo Cheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Chu smile.
Then, Xiong Huai looked at Zuo Cheng and wanted to see his talent, so he asked again: "I don't know how my Chu State should deal with the Song State according to Qing's opinion?" โ
Zuo Cheng said with a smile: "Great King, if it is the general trend to attack Chu today, therefore, now I want the Song State to stand on the side of my Chu State, make enemies of all countries, and withstand the offensive of various countries for the Chu State, this is too difficult, and the Song State will not be willing."
However, the Chu and Song dynasties formed alliances for several years, and the Qi and Song dynasties fought each other for several years, and during this period of time, a large number of pro-Chu ministers appeared in the Song Dynasty. According to the minister's opinion, our Chu State can support the pro-Chu ministers of the Song State and support the pro-Chu generals to lead the troops to attack Chu. Then bribed the Song generals with a lot of money to give up a part of the land, so that the Chu and Song countries formed a tacit understanding and controlled the scale and damage of the war within a certain range.
In this way, after the countries invade Chu, our Chu State will be able to quickly make peace with the Song State. Once there is a change in the world, our Chu State can win over the Song State, rebuild the alliance, and once again compete for hegemony in the world. โ
Speaking of this, Zuo Cheng glanced at the King of Chu and bowed again: "King, the minister is guilty!" โ
