"This... That's fine. Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked: "Xianqing, for the strategy of stabilizing the Yue Kingdom, the widow originally planned to set up the hostage son of the Yue Kingdom in Chu to be the Yue Jun, but after thinking about it, the widow still planned to listen to Qing's opinion. I don't know who is more suitable between Gongzi Yu and Gongzi Yu. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ju felt a trace of warmth in his heart, although he knew that the King of Chu was just talking, but it also showed that the King of Chu trusted him.

On this issue, there is no doubt that the candidate for Yue Jun is, of course, more suitable for Gongzi, who has not much foundation in the Yue Kingdom. If Gongziyu is appointed as the Yue army, not to mention whether Gongziyu can be captured by the Chu army in the war, it is said that Gongziyu's strength in the Yue country is a big hidden danger.

Although the Chu State destroyed many countries, most of the destroyed countries moved their people and their kings, so that the destroyed countries were unable to resist the rule of the Chu State.

However, apparently, this is not suitable for the country of Vietnam.

Because the strength of Yue Guo is not weak, if Yue Jun runs away and returns to Yue Guo to raise his arms, this will surely cause endless trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ju gritted his teeth, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he arched his hand and said: "King, the strength of the Yue Kingdom is not small, and the hometown of the Yue Kingdom is too remote, which is not conducive to the rule of the Chu State. Therefore, the minister thought that the results of this battle, the king of Yue and the prince of the hoof, it was best to die in battle. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, he already knew Zhao Ju's intentions, and understood that he was not talking about King Yue or Gongzi's hooves, but wanted Gongziyu to die.

So, after thinking about it, Xiong Huai spoke: "Sima, General Zhaoying has been returning to China for a while, and the widow thinks that in the next battle, let General Zhaoying follow Si Defeat to attack Wucheng." ”

Zhao Ju was stunned, the general Zhao Ying was a person from his side, and asked Zhao Ying to follow Tang Yu to attack Wucheng, the meaning of which was self-evident.

So, Zhao Ju immediately bowed and said, "King Xie." ”

······

More than ten days later, on September 28.

Yin Jingli, who was sent to Qin, finally returned to Yingdu.

In the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai took the covenant that Jing Carp brought back from the Qin State, smiled, and then didn't read a word, and left the covenant still on the case.

Then Xiong Huai asked with a smile: "Ling Yin, in the past two months, the Qin State has been very lively, I wonder if the Qin State is stable now?" ”

Jing Li shook his head slightly, and said with regret: "King, although more than a month ago, the Qin State and Qi Chu had been married, and during this period, there was also the sudden death of Zhang Yi of the Xiangguo. However, because Zhu Liji had already replaced Zhang Yi to deal with state affairs before, after Zhu Liji took over the position of Xiangguo, the government of Qin quickly stabilized, and there was no major turmoil. ”

Xiong Huai sighed and said in disappointment: "It's a pity." ”

Hearing this, Jing Li smiled and said, "King, although there is no turmoil in the political situation of the Qin State, there is no benefit to no turmoil. Previously, when the king sent a messenger from the state of Qin, and when the minister proposed to the king of Qin to jointly attack the state of Wei in May, he received the full support of the state of Qin. Therefore, the king of Qin had promised to send troops to attack Wei in May of the following year.

For this reason, the king of Qin has issued an order to order Gan Mao to go to Shangjun and Wei Zhang to go to Xiayang, and as soon as the time comes, Wei Zhang will raise an army to attack Wei. ”

Xiong Huai showed a happy color.

When fighting a decisive battle against another country, especially during the war of the Great Destruction of the Country, what I am most afraid of is that in addition to the attacked country uniting to fight to the death, the rest is nothing more than the intervention and rescue of other countries.

Before the Qi State destroyed Yan, it also encouraged the Chu State to start a war with the Qin State, and for a while, all the eyes of the world were attracted by the battle of Qin and Chu, which gave the Qi State a chance.

Similar to the state of Qi, the geographical location of the state of Chu was even worse, and it intersected with the two great powers of Qin and Qi at the same time.

Xiong Huai's biggest worry was that when attacking Yue, Qin and Qi sent troops to intervene, resulting in Chu not being able to take all of Yue in one battle.

For this reason, in the previous years, the state of Chu attacked the state of Qi again and again, the purpose of which was to prepare for the invasion of Yue.

Now, the state of Qi itself is difficult to protect, the state of Qin sent troops and promised to attack Wei, the relationship between Han and Wei has also been damaged, and most of the countries in the world have been involved in this storm, Xiong Huai basically has nothing to worry about.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said to Jing Li: "Ling Yin, this is good news. Not long ago, news came from Vietnam, South Korea and Song that all of them promised to send troops to help the widows in May. Now, with the addition of the Qin State, all the countries in the world can be said to have been mobilized, and there is no one to worry about. ”

When Jing Li heard this, he said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." ”

Xiong Huai laughed and said: "Ling Yin, rejoice, rejoice." ”

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing almost at the same time.

Suddenly, wanton laughter filled the entire palace, and it did not fall for a long time.

At this time, a waiter walked outside the hall, and wanted to enter the palace to report, but he heard the laughter of the king of Chu and Ling Yin in the palace, and immediately stopped, stood outside the hall and carefully looked into the hall.

After a while, waiting for the laughter in the hall to stop, this time he stepped into the hall and reported to Xiong Huaiyu: "King, the assassin Shi Ling Chen Zhen asks to see." ”

"Assassin Shi Ling?" When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately restrained his smile, and said with a straight face: "Please come in!" ”

"Yui."

After a short time, Chen Zhen entered the temple.

"Meet the King."

"No courtesy." Xiong Huai asked, "Chen Qing, but what happened?" ”

Chen Zhen nodded and responded: "King, send an envoy from Zhao to deliver the news." Regarding the joint dispatch of troops to attack Wei, the king of Zhao refused to send troops to attack Wei again on the grounds that Zhao had encountered great difficulties and needed to leave heavy troops to defend in Daidi and had no extra troops. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, glanced at Jing Li, and saw that he was also stunned, and the rich joy in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot because of this news.

Xiong Huai also knew in his heart that after Zhao's Shangjun and Daidi were attacked before and after, Zhao would definitely be much more cautious about sending troops. However, Zhao State so simply rejected Chu State's request to send troops, Xiong Huai was still a little disappointed.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai nodded to Chen Zhen and said, "No one already knows about this matter. ”

After a pause, Xiong Huai smiled indifferently and said: "Now the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Song and Yue, which are connected to my Chu State, have all agreed to send troops, as for Zhao State, it is not connected to Chu State, whether Zhao State sends troops or not, for my Chu State, does not affect the overall situation." ”

When Jing Lichen heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "The king is wise." ”

······

With the arrival of October, in the state of Chu, it can be regarded as entering a new year.

Just when the war preparations of various countries were in full swing, in late December, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao met with each other.

Soon, at the beginning of the first month, a news came from the Qin State, which shocked all the countries.

In the Chu Palace.

"Great King, after repeated confirmation by the ministers, the news came from Qin and Wei at the same time, Wei Zhang, an important minister of Qin, took refuge in Wei. Just six days ago, the King of Wei officially appointed Wei Zhang as a general in the Wei Palace, and together with the general Ni Liang, he guarded the line of Puyang and Fenyin. ”8)
