Xiong Huai bowed slightly, Zhaoyu's death will inevitably have a certain impact on the government of Chu, especially when Zhaoyu is still an auxiliary minister.

Now that the war is halfway through, this must not be stopped, and the top priority is to maintain stability.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said: "Few people know, please return to Yingdu immediately, and inform the prince and Ling Yin that Sikong is a veteran of the three dynasties and has made great contributions to the country." Therefore, the widow decided to handle the affairs of Sikong with the gifts of the princes. The widow was not in Yingdu, so let the prince mourn Sikong instead of the widow, and let the prince Yu order Yin to gather the ministers of Yingdu and choose a suitable name for Sikong.

In addition, Sikong Yi's position is very powerful, and it is really not easy to hastily establish a candidate at the moment. Therefore, the widow decided to temporarily abolish the post of Sikong and re-establish the post of Gong Yin, and assisted Sikong in presiding over the fortifications for many years with Zuo Gong, who was well versed in the affairs of hundreds of workers, and Xu Zuo Gong had temporarily acted as Sikong Yin and presided over all the fortifications in the country. When the widow returns to the court, the candidate for Gongyin will be decided.

In addition, he was promoted to the rank of Doctor Zhao Chang as the right commander Yin, and assisted Ling Yin in handling state affairs together. Tell Zhaochang that the country is restless, and the subjects are suspicious, so they are worried about the virtuous ministers, so as to determine the family and state, hoping that they will not live up to the expectations of the widow. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind to untie the Tai'a sword that symbolized the identity of the king of Chu on his waist, and then walked to Fan Huan, solemnly handed the sword to Fan Huan and said: "Xianqing, this Tai'a sword is the sword of the kings of Chu in the past dynasties. The widow wants to defeat Tang Yu as the left Sima, let the left Sima hold the widow's sword, preside over the military affairs in the country, and give orders. ”

Fan Huan was stunned for a moment, took Tai'a in surprise, and looked at the King of Chu hesitantly.

Xiong Huai paused, and then sighed: "That's it, please reply to the prince and Ling Yin immediately, and convey the widow's edict." ”

"Yui." Fan Huan's face was heavy, and then he bowed and left in a hurry.

After Fan Huan left, Xiong Huai ordered with an ugly face: "Pass the order, the whole army will do it, and see it off for Sikong." ”

"Yui."

After the envoy of Yue Yu left Pingcheng, he immediately hurried to the direction of Langya.

Three days later, they arrived at Viet Ying.

In the camp of Yue.

"What?" Hearing the news from Juyu, King Yue was taken aback and asked overjoyedly, "Is this really true?" Zhaoyu, that old horseman is really dead? ”

Ju Yu hurriedly nodded and responded, "King, this matter can't be faked." Moreover, the minister also specially noticed that soon after the grandson of Zhaoyu went to report the funeral, the entire Chu army camp hung up white flags. How can this kind of thing be fake. ”

Hearing Ju Yu's affirmative reply, the prince on the side of King Yue immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, Zhaoyu died of illness, this is a great joy for my Yue Kingdom!" ”

When the king of Yue heard this, he said: "The widow originally wondered, the king of Chu and the widow agreed to contain the forces of the Qi State together, but as a result, the Chu army only advanced for dozens of miles, captured a small city, and then stopped moving. It turned out that it was Zhaoyu, an old horseman, who was seriously ill and dying, which made the king of Chu hesitate. ”

As the saying goes, the one who knows you best must be your enemy.

This is not false at all.

In order to relieve the pressure of Chu on Yue, the king of Yue knew a lot about the internal affairs of Chu.

At this moment, thinking of the situation in the Chu State, King Yue couldn't help but speak: "Among the Chu States, the strength of the Zhao clan is the strongest, and now the leader of the Zhao clan is dead, and Zhao Ju, who has the highest status in the Zhao clan, is leading the army to attack the Wei State, and it is difficult to integrate the power of the Zhao clan. At this time, the strength of the Zhao clan in the court will inevitably be scattered, and it can be said that the strength has been greatly reduced.

Moreover, Zhao Yu has held the power of Chu for more than ten years, and his influence in Chu is greater than that of Ling Yin Jingli, and his death will inevitably make many people uneasy. ”

As he spoke, King Yue glanced in the direction of Wei and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that at this time, among the Chu army of Wei State, there are already many people who want to return to Yingdu." As long as this attack on Qi and Wei is in vain, then the countries will inevitably have a fluctuating mood when they see that Chu cannot punish the betrayed Wei State. At that time, could the state of Chu still command the heroes? ”

After speaking, King Yue laughed to himself.

While laughing, King Yue suddenly remembered something.

Previously, the State of Qi took Langya as a condition and asked the State of Yue to betray the State of Chu and form an alliance with the State of Qi.

However, at this time, after Qi Guo knew the news of Zhaoyu's death, would he agree to take the initiative to give up Langya?

Although King Yue was already in his heart at that time, he did not easily agree, but he also did not firmly refuse.

The reason lies in the previous plan of the king of Chu, the countries besieged the Wei state, and after subduing the Wei state, they raised troops to attack Qi. In the eyes of the King of Yue, the strength of the Wei State was not strong and it was difficult to resist the siege of various countries, so there was a great possibility that this plan of the King of Chu would succeed.

If the Yue State is now turned against the Chu State because of Langya City, the Wei State finally surrendered to the Chu State.

This...

The situation of Yue Guo will be embarrassing.

Therefore, King Yue's thoughts at that time were to wait and see first.

However, in this situation, if the Qi State knew that there was a problem within the Chu State, would it still put forward such a favorable condition for the Yue State?

Perhaps, because of the death of Zhao Yu, the Qi State took the opportunity to lower the price of the Yue country.

Thinking about it, King Yue hurriedly asked Gongzi Hoof: "Hoof, has the envoy of Qi come to our army's camp today?" ”

Gongzi hoof shook his head: "Father, the envoy of the Qi State only left yesterday, according to the previous law, the envoy of the Qi State should come in three or five days." ”

King Yue sighed when he heard this, and his heart was lost.

Seeing this, the doctor said, "King, do you want to agree to King Qi's conditions?" ”

King Yue glanced at Ju Yu, and then nodded: "The death of Zhaoyu in the Chu State will inevitably cause turmoil in the Chu State, and the matter of defeating Qi in this way will fail." Now that the State of Qi still has heavy troops to defend in Langya City, if it does not agree to the conditions of the State of Qi at this time, then when the State of Chu withdraws, won't the widows gain nothing? ”

Ju Yu touched the beautiful jade in his sleeve, felt a trace of coolness coming from the jade, and immediately made up his mind to say a word for Chu State, so as to be worthy of the beautiful jade in his sleeve.

After pondering for a while, Ju Yu remembered the entrustment of the King of Chu, and then spoke: "King, why do you think that the Chu State will withdraw from the army? ”

King Yue hesitated to look at the sentence, and said as a matter of course: "Is this still repeated by widows?" Naturally, Zhaoyu died. ”

Ju Yu shook his head when he heard this, and then asked, "Does the king know how King Chu Wu and King Chu Wen died?" ”

King Yue was stunned at first, and then his face changed.

He naturally knew the answer to the question that Yu Fang had just asked.
