Seeing that the King of Chu nodded, Zhao Hua continued: "Great King, because Ji Feng is the son of Wu Hou, his identity is extraordinary, and he moves his whole body with one hair, so the minister is so cautious. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at Zhao Hua in surprise and said: "Xianqing, why is this, now Wu land is owned by my Chu country, not to mention a mere Ji Feng, even if it is the Ji family, you must also obey the orders of my Chu country, if you are willing to belong to my Chu country, then the Ji family can continue to be Wu Hou, if you are unwilling, then the life and death of the Ji family are in the hands of my Chu country."

Being so cautious is not like Xianqing's style. ”

Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "Ji Fengzhi is very talented, although there is nothing to worry about, even the Ji family line is nothing to my Chu State. But if my Chu State wants to rule Wu Land quickly, I need the support of the Ji clan. As long as the Ji clan does not object to our Chu State notifying Wu Di, then the Wu people in Wu Di will not object, as long as the Wu people who occupy the majority in Wu Di are willing to obey the rule of our Chu State, then the Yue people who are lonely in Wu can only follow the crowd and cannot resist.

As long as Wu Di can return to my Chu State, then Yue Di in the south can also quickly return to his heart. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Slip arched his hand and said: "King, in this world, there are almost endless wars, two battles in three years, and one war a year in the shortest. In the face of such a fierce war, if the 80,000 elites of our Chu State are placed in the rear of Wuyue in Jiangdong, our Chu State will often have insufficient strength in the face of various countries. The minister thought that this was very inappropriate. ”

Xiong Huai nodded approvingly when he heard this.

It is indeed a great waste to put 80,000 troops in Tuntian, Jiangdong, but in order to completely control Jiangdong, the Chu State cannot transfer the army here in a short time.

Moreover, in order to control Jiangdong, Xiong Huai also left Zhaohua and Tang Yu here at the same time, and the two important ministers sat in Jiangdong, which was really wasteful. But Jiangdong is newly attached, which has to keep them here.

At the beginning of the Qin State destroyed Bashu, Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo stayed in Bashu at the same time, Zhang Yi built Chengdu City in Shu, and Sima Co guarded in Badi. Two years later, Chengdu City was completed, and thousands of households in the Qin State moved to Chengdu, and Zhang Yi returned to Xianyang. And Sima Cuo stayed in Bashu for more than ten years, until the last time the countries invaded Chu and Qin had no generals available, so Sima Cuo was transferred back.

However, as soon as Sima left wrongly, a rebellion immediately broke out in Shudi, which had been attached for more than ten years...

Xiong Huai estimated that although Jiangdong is not more difficult than Bashu, it is still necessary to leave an important minister to garrison for ten years.

Of course, in the past two years, neither Zhao Hua nor Tang Mo can get out of Jiangdong.

On the other side, Zhao Hua saw that the King of Chu nodded in agreement with his opinion, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said again: "Great King, the minister thinks that in order to quickly control Jiangdong, my Chu State can adopt the strategy of using Wu to control Yue. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, but he didn't expect this Zhaohua to propose a strategy to quickly digest Jiangdong.

Xiong Huai has never had many ways to do this.

"With Wu to control the Yue? Please tell the general in detail, and the widow is willing to hear the details. ”

"Yui!" Zhao Slip replied, and then spoke: "Although Jiangdong was taken by my Chu State from the Yue State, Wu Land and Yue Land are two completely different situations. Most of the people of Wu are Wu people, although they have been attached to the Yue country, but after all, they are still Wu people, and they definitely have no intention of recovering the Yue country in their hearts.

Our Chu soldiers are in Jiangdong, and the Wu people in Jiangdong have opened the door to welcome the surrender, but they did not defend the city to the death, which is the proof.

At the same time, the state of Wu was destroyed by the state of Yue, so although our Chu state now occupies the land of Wu, the Wu people of the land of Wu have no idea of hating our state of Chu. Moreover, the state of Wu was destroyed by the Yue country for many years, and the resistance of the Wu people was repeatedly suppressed by the Yue people, until nearly a hundred years, there has been no action of the Wu people to restore the country, which shows that most of the Wu people have no intention of recovering the country.

Therefore, the minister thought that it would be an easy thing for my Chu State to establish its rule in Wu and completely control Wu land. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao swallowed his saliva and continued: "However, this is not the case with Yuedi, the Yue people and our Chu country have the hatred of the country, and the Yue people think that if it were not for the civil strife in Yue, the king of Yue was killed by rebellion, and the Yue country would not have lost the country in a war, so many Yue people were still not convinced.

Although our Chu State can move those Yue people who show dissatisfaction with our Chu State enthronement to other places, we can take precautions and prevent the Yue people from rising up to resist. However, the thorn of the dead country has been pierced in the hearts of this generation of Yue people, it is difficult to make the Yue people obey the orders of our Chu State, and it is even more difficult to make the Yue people fight for our Chu State, which must be done for decades. ”

Xiong Huai nodded: "The widow also knows that it is enough for the Yue people not to resist the rule of our Chu State in a short period of time, to pay taxes on time, and to serve the conscription on time." If you want the Yue people to fight for our Chu country, it will take a long time. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao and smiled: "Few people know about these situations, I don't know what Xianqing means by using Wu to control Yue." ”

Zhao Hua smiled and arched his hand: "King, the minister has been in Jiangdong for many years, and he has been in contact with the Wu people and the Yue people, yes, when the minister interacted with the Wu people and the Yue people, he found that although there were Wu people and Yue people in Jiangdong, but in fact, there was no so-called Wu people and Yue people at all, and there were only Wu people and Yue people, or after the fall of Wu State, there were only Yue people, and now the Yue country has also perished, and the Wu people and Yue people have all become Chu people. ”

"Huh?" Xiong Huai looked at Zhao slip hesitantly.

Seeing that the king of Chu was looking over, Zhao Hua arched his hand and asked: "My lord, I don't know that the king thinks that the people who live in Wu and the people who live in Yue are eating the same rice, going out on the same boat, speaking the same language, using the same language, living the same life, and having the same customs.

In this way, how should we distinguish whether he is a Wu person or a Yue person. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed.

Now he understood what Zhao Hua meant by using Wu to control Yue.

Yes, although Jiangdong still has the Wu people and the Yue people, but this is only because the original countries are different, not that they have essential differences.

Perhaps before the fall of the Wu State, there were still some differences between the Wu people and the Yue people, but after the Yue State ruled the Wu land for two hundred years, especially after the Yue State moved the capital to Wu City, the difference between the Wu people and the Yue people has basically disappeared.

In the past, the dispute between the Wu people and the Yue people was more of an internal regional dispute, just like the dispute between the township parties, rather than a racial dispute.

What's more, there is not much difference between the customs of the Yue people and the Wu people, for ordinary people, there is not much difference between the rule of the Yue King and the rule of the Wu King, how they lived before, how they still live now.

Since there is no essential difference between the Yue people and the Wu people, and the attitudes of the Yue people and the Wu people towards the Chu State are completely different, then there is a better choice for the Chu State.

As long as the state of Chu first controls the Wu land with low difficulty, and then uses the Wu land to balance the Yue land, it will inevitably be able to speed up the naturalization of the Yue land.

Moreover, after the naturalization of Wu land, you can also use the power of the Wu people to control Jiangdong.

In this way, perhaps it will only take ten years for the Chu State to draw most of its troops from Jiangdong, instead of idling its troops here in vain.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but smile when he looked at Zhao Slip.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether to leave Zhaohua in Jiangdong or Tang Mo in Jiangdong after waiting for a while, but now, after listening to Zhaohua's strategy, the result is self-evident, so there is no need to hesitate.
