Chapter 116: Chu Mou Yue Guo
Zhao Ju saw that the King of Chu was deep in thought, and he didn't know why, so he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhen and ask him.
Chen Zhen shook his head and looked at the silk book in King Chu's hand.
As soon as Zhao Ju saw the silk book, he immediately understood that this was not the first time.
If the expectation is not bad, what the King of Chu thinks should be related to Yue Guo.
As for the country...
Zhao Ju's mind quickly turned.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiong Huai felt that the matter of destroying the Yue Kingdom could be tried by the Chu State.
Immediately, Xiong Huai said to Chen Zhen: "Xianqing instructed, pass on the widow's order, order the widow's personal guards to surround the camp tent, retreat a hundred steps, and no one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps. ”
Chen Zhen was shocked in his heart, the King of Chu had something big to say, and he was so cautious.
As the guards retreated, there were only three people left in the tent.
Xiong Huai handed the silk book in his hand to Zhao Ju and said, "Xianqing, come and see this, I don't know what you think?" ”
When Zhao Ju was reading the silk book, Xiong Huai noticed Zhao Ju's expression.
Sure enough, Zhao Ju's originally plain face instantly stiffened after reading the content of the silk book, and then handed the silk book to Chen Zhen.
A nameless fire was born in Zhao Ju's heart.
It wasn't necessarily slippery for a while, but now it's popping up.
Zhao Ju and Zhao Slip, in the Zhao clan, is a competitive relationship, and the two are full of contradictions and cold relations because of their status as leaders of the Zhao clan.
After Chen Zhen finished reading it, he returned the silk book to the king of Chu.
Xiong Huai knew how to write a book, smiled, and said in a flat tone: "The widow plans to send troops to attack Yue when the time is ripe in the future, follow the example of Qi State, and destroy Yue in a battle, do the two virtuous people think this matter is feasible?" ”
"Sss Zhaoju Chen Zhen gasped.
The destruction of the Yue Kingdom is even more powerful than the destruction of the Yan Kingdom.
Although Yan is large and has been established for a long time, in the eyes of other big countries, Yan has always been a relatively weak country.
Yue Guo is not, although the national strength of Yue Guo and Yan State may be comparable, but after all, Yue State is a great power that has once been hegemonic, and the difficulty of destroying Yue State is obviously far greater than that of Yan State.
When the Qi State annexed the Yan State, let the world attack Qi.
Then the annexation of the State of Chu to the State of Yue, the treatment enjoyed by the State of Qi will definitely exceed that of the State of Qi.
Because the state of Chu was connected to Qin Qi at the same time, the battle line exceeded thousands of miles, and it might face an attack from the Three Jin Dynasty in the middle.
Chu is not like Qin, which is a country of four stops, and the terrain is even worse than that of Qi, and the world attacks Chu, and Qi can't bear it, so can Chu be able to bear it?
Zhao Ju and Chen Zhen were skeptical.
Seeing the frightened appearance of the two of them, Xiong Huai picked up the kettle, poured two glasses of water, and handed them to the two with a smile: "Two virtuous people, come, drink a glass of water, suppress the shock." ”
The two were shocked, and they didn't care about etiquette, they didn't even say thank you, they took the water cup directly from the hand of the king of Chu, and then drank it all.
After drinking, Chen Zhen reacted and saluted: "Weichen is rude, thank you for the king!" ”
Only then did Zhao Ju react and said, "Thank you, the king!" ”
Xiong Huai shook his head, looked at the two of them and said, "What do the two virtuous people think?" ”
Zhao Ju saluted and said: "The king is wise, as long as the Yue Kingdom is destroyed, my Chu State will no longer have to worry about the future." ”
After a pause, the face of the King of Chu did not change in the slightest, and continued: "It's just that there are two dilemmas in the matter of destroying Yue, one is that the Yue country is strong, and if my Chu country wants to destroy the Yue country, it will definitely face the battle of the Yue country, and then it will face 300,000 or even 400,000 Vietnamese troops to defend the city, which is the biggest difficulty in destroying the Yue country." ”
"Secondly, although the king of Yue is confused, he is not like the king of Yan, making the entire Yue country angry and resentful, it is easy for our Chu country to defeat the Yue country, but it is difficult to destroy the Yue country, please think twice."
Although Zhaoju's purpose is not pure, what he said is also reasonable, and he is not exaggerating.
Now the Yue State has only taken out 250,000 troops to attack the Qi State, and if it is a defensive battle, the Yue army faced by the Chu army may really reach 300,000 or even 400,000.
If the king of Yue is crazy and asks all the men who have reached the age of fourteen to go into battle, then the Chu army may still face 500,000 or even 600,000.
Xiong Huai nodded and said: "The widow is not attacking the Yue State now, although the Qi State only took fifty days to attack the Yan State, but the preparations for the war have been carried out for several years, until the countries in the world are at war, and there is no time to take care of Qi Yan, and the Qi State will destroy Yan in one battle." ”
"The widow's intentions, the main strategic direction of my Chu State is to Yue Guo, and then make friends with other countries, divide the countries to fight, and let other countries have no time to take care of my Chu State. Then we are ready for war, three years, five years, or even ten years, and one day our Chu State will be ready for the war of exterminating Vietnam. ”
"The widow wants to pull out the unstable country behind the Chu State, and the Chu State will no longer have to worry about the future."
Chen Zhen saluted and said: "Great King, although it is difficult to destroy the Yue Kingdom, if it takes time, you can still give it a try, but after the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, then our Chu State will definitely face the siege of the world." ”
"When the Qi and Song Dynasty attack the Huaibei Land of our Chu State, the Three Jin Dynasty attack Fangcheng Wanchen and other places of the Chu State, and the Qin State attacks our Chu State from the Zhengba State in the south of Wuguan, how will my Chu State be defended, please think twice."
Xiong Huai also thought about this problem and said: "For the armies of Qi and Song, the widow plans to give up the Huaibei region, use the Huaibei region to satisfy the greed of the Qi and Song dynasties, and defend Huaishui with water divisions. As for the attack of the Three Jins, the widow decided to build the Great Wall on the first line of Fangcheng Mountain, so that Fangcheng would become the real Fangcheng of my Chu State. And continue to strengthen the defense of Wancheng Chencheng, defend in these two places, if there is a disagreement, then Chen Di retreats to Shouchun, Wancheng retreats to Dengcheng. ”
"As for the attack of the Qin State, the widows also prepare two lines of defense, one is the Danshui defense line, if there is a disagreement, the widows are ready to retreat to Hanshui, as for Nanzheng and Bashu, if they only need to defend, leave a part of the elite soldiers to guard."
"And the widow decided to build a new city in the north of Xiangshui and the south of Hanshui, that is, in Beijinshu, to gather grain, grass and weapons, as a base camp to support Danshui Fangcheng Nanyang Hanzhong, if there is a disagreement, this Cheng relies on Hanshui and continues to defend against the attacks of other countries."
"The world is attacking Chu, and it is indeed difficult for my Chu country to win the battle. However, from today onwards, our Chu State will prepare materials and grain and grass for the future war, and we will definitely be able to hold on to a protracted war in various countries. The time to prepare, if it doesn't work in three years, then prepare for five years, and if it doesn't work in five years, then prepare for ten years. ”
"The Yue State will not be destroyed, whether my Chu State is fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, or just using troops against other countries, the Yue State will always be a problem. The so-called alliance is nothing more than a rope made of sand and then binds two countries together, which is difficult to last. ”
"We formed an alliance with the Qi State, but it was only two short years, and then we betrayed the Qi State. Our alliance with the Qin State, less than two months later, the Qin State betrayed us. The covenant is not believed by few people. Moreover, the king of Yue is greedy for profit and good name, and the widow also can't trust the king of Yue. ”
"So for Yue Guo, the widow must destroy him, what do the two virtuous people think."
