"Defeated?"

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to talk, and they fell silent.

The topic is so heavy that they don't dare to open it up easily.

It's just that while looking at each other, a few people showed their intentions.

At this time, Qu Yangjun saw that some people were eager to try, and most of them were silent.

So, he immediately shook his head and interrupted: "This matter is categorically impossible, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, the way of survival, and the principle of life and death, how can it be child's play." ”

As soon as Qu Yangjun's voice fell, many people immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhong Lijun was slightly relieved at this time.

Zhongli is not far from Huaiyin, and if Huaiyin is lost, Zhongli will be reduced to the front line again. More than 20 years ago, when Chu and Yue fought around Huaiyin, he had enough days of worrying and fearing day and night, lest the Yue army come to attack.

If Huaiyin is taken away by the more powerful Qi State, then his life will be difficult.

At this time, seeing Qu Yangjun open his mouth to refute, he hurriedly said: "Yes, Qu Yangjun is reasonable, it is our duty to protect the family and defend the country." Even if the king is unkind, we can only repay the country with death, how can we return the injustice. ”

"Yes, although the monarch is unkind, but we can't be disloyal, even if we repay the country with death, it should be under the nine springs, and we can face the ancestors and ancestors without shame." Yu Jun glanced at Shang Jun dissatisfiedly, and echoed with a righteous face.

Shang Jun saw that Yu Jun's eyes were not good, and he snorted coldly in his heart, and his face was ugly.

The king of Chu has been on the throne for nearly 30 years, and he has been able to continue the hegemony of Xuanwei for two generations, and it is even better than when he was Xuanwei. Now that the prestige of the King of Chu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone has not been forced to a hurry, and they will not betray if they are idle.

The last time the countries invaded Chu, the Chu State suffered the defeat of Hanzhong Danshui, and there was Gongzi Zilan as a guide for Qin and Han in front, and the situation was extremely dangerous. However, even in the face of this situation, those feudal lords of Jiang and Han only fornicated with Zilan, and sent all the strong men under their rule to Yingdu to defend the city, thinking that the king of Chu was loyal.

Jianghan is like this, and now the feudal monarch of Jianghuai is facing the king of Chu step by step, and the same is true.

Even himself, who had just made the suggestion, had no intention of betraying.

Defeat is not an end, but a means.

At this moment, Shang Jun saw that no one of them opened their mouths to respond, and there were people who faintly wanted to draw a line with him, so he waved his hand and said indifferently: "That is the case, then what do you say?" ”

Qu Yangjun pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why the king is fighting endlessly is because he doesn't know the suffering of the people, if the king can hear the voices of the people, he will definitely be restrained." ”

Shang Jun sneered disdainfully: "The voice of the people, do you think the king doesn't know? Every year, I set out from Yingdu and stayed in various places for a month or two, as well as the spies who knew Beiya who were hidden in that corner, and the county lieutenants who were recently sent to various places and Ling Yin, who waited for me.

Didn't these men give the king the details of the land? It's just that the king lives far away from the temple and deliberately pretends not to hear it. ”

Qu Yangjun nodded: "Yes, the king can be treated as if he didn't hear or see, but we can also make our own voice and make it louder." ”

"Bigger?" Shang Jun looked at Qu Yangjun hesitantly.

Qu Yangjun glanced at everyone, saw that everyone looked at him, touched his snow-white beard and said: "What this gentleman means is that since the king broke his promise and got fat and spit on himself, then let's not keep the previous promise." The king wants us to send troops, money, and food to resist Qi and Wei, which is okay, and we are duty-bound.

However, after years of war, our warehouse was empty, and at this time, it was already insufficient to confront Qi and Wei again. ”

Saying that, Qu Yangjun said meaningfully: "In this way, in order to continue to fight for the king, we have no choice but to order taxes to be levied on the people of the territory." ”

"This..." Lu Jun hesitated and said, "Quyang Jun, but the people in the territory are our people. Moreover, the king announced tax exemption before, and in order to respond to the king's call, we have already announced tax exemption to the people under his rule.

Now that we are waiting for a reversal, the people are innocent, and this is a big blow to our prestige. ”

Qu Yangjun shook his head and said, "Otherwise, we announced the tax exemption before, because of the king." The king has already announced that the whole country will be exempted from taxes for one year, and we have no choice but to declare the tax exemption to the people under his rule. Now as we all know, the king has fought again for the land of Bashu, and we have to rebel in order to be loyal to the king. If the people really complain, it is also resentment against the king, not against us.

Also, do we need to order the tax collection in person? Didn't the king send us Ling Yin? Ling Yin, as our right-hand man, isn't he responsible for helping us deal with local political affairs?

Therefore, as long as I wait for an order, they, as our courtiers, will naturally obey our orders. If he does what he is told, then we can transfer the people's grievances to him, and if he does not obey the order and delays the king's attack on Nanzheng, we have to tie him up and send him back to Yingdu and hand him over to the king to deal with. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Yangjun said calmly: "As for the people, why are they innocent? In these troubled times, who is innocent? Who is not innocent? ”

At this time, Shang Jun's eyes lit up, originally he planned to eat a defeat in a battle, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill Ling Yin, who was given to him by the king of Chu, in order to relieve the disgust during this time.

As for the victory or defeat of this battle, there is no joy in victory, and there is no worry about defeat, he doesn't care, it's just a means to kill Ling Yin.

However, now Qu Yangjun's strategy is a few clever tricks better than his.

His plan could only kill a disobedient Ling Yin, and then change the king of Chu to a more obedient one. However, Qu Yangjun's plan was to solve Ling Yin sent by the King of Chu once and for all.

This ginger is still old and spicy!

Thinking about it, Shang Jun couldn't help but show a burst of joy, and praised: "Good, good, good, if those who order Yin to collect taxes under our rule will cause resentment among the people at that time, we can take the opportunity to arrest Ling Yin, and then return them to the king in a prison car."

One is to solve the problem of the people's grievances in the territory, the second is to express our dissatisfaction to the king, and the third is that if the king of Chu sends Ling Yin to expropriate the people's anger, I am afraid that the king will not have the face to send another Ling Yin. ”

Zhong Lijun suddenly realized, and said with great joy: "Yes, it is this reason, with this precedent, even if the king forcibly sends us a Ling Yin again, we can also send one back according to the routine, and send one to one, if it is repeated, the plan of the king to send Ling Yin will inevitably go bankrupt." ”

"Yes, that's exactly what happened."

"Originally, we were worried about our own Ling Yin, but now it seems that this battle has come at the right time."

"But it's like this, but now I'm full of confidence in this battle, I'm not afraid of fighting for a long time, I'm afraid of not fighting long enough."

"That's right, it's my duty to be loyal to the king, in this battle, the king will pay if he wants money, I will send troops if I want people, and I will send food if I want food. In this way, we can be regarded as loyal to the king. ”

"It is precisely for this reason that the state of Chu can dominate the world, and the king can be the overlord for decades, isn't it because of courtiers like me who are loyal ministers!"
