There was good news from all over the place, Xiong Huai smiled, and then asked Chen Zhen: "Chen Qing, what is the situation in various countries?" ”

Unlike Gongsun Yan's relaxed face, Chen Zhen said with a heavy face: "King, Sima Zhaoju has led the Chu army back to Chencheng, and moreover, the armies of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Song, which attacked Wei, have also retreated to various countries. At present, the exchange of envoys between various countries is extremely frequent, and I am afraid that the matter of fighting Chu and saving Yue is being discussed.

In addition, a few days ago, the Qi general Kuang Zhang led 100,000 Qi troops to the south in the name of rescuing the Yue Kingdom. Because our Chu army took the initiative to abandon the Huaibei land of Yueguo, there was not a single soldier left, and all parts of the country saw that our Chu army did not come, so they all looked at the wind and surrendered. ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said: "The Huaibei Land of the Yue Kingdom was originally specially left to the Qi Kingdom by the widows, and if it is lost, it will be lost, and there is no pity." What the widow cares about is, how did the Qi State deal with it after it occupied the north of Yuehuai? Did you take the opportunity to annex Huaibei! ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Great King, after Kuang Zhang captured Huaibei, he did not send troops to stay in various places, and still used the previous Yue people to rule all places, and appointed the envoy who went to Qi to ask for help as the Huaibei guard, putting on the appearance that Qi did not covet Huaibei.

With the support of the Qi State, the new Huaibei Code is recruiting soldiers in Huaibei, and it seems that he intends to use the power of the Qi army to fight with our Chu State again. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that the previous deployment of the widow in Huaibei did not play a role, and in the face of the hundreds of miles of Yuehuaibei, the King of Qi did not mean to swallow it directly." Instead, Huaibei was returned to the Yue country, and then used its strength to organize the Yue people to fight against the widows, which is a good chess. ”

Gongsun Yan opened his mouth and said: "Great King, the previous deployment is not useless, it is just because the Yue Kingdom has not perished at this moment, so the Qi Kingdom has hidden its fangs." When Sima Tang completely captured the Yue State, and then led the army to help, the Qi State saw that it was impossible to break through the Huaishui, and saw that the Yue State had no hope of recovering the country, and the Qi State would inevitably show its hideous face and swallow all the northern land of Yue Huai in one fell swoop. ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "If that is the Qi State really swallows Huaibei, I am afraid that the alliance forces of various countries will also completely collapse." ”

Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said, "The king is wise." ”

Xiong Huai smiled, and then asked Dou You, who was in charge of logistics in Shou County, "Xianqing, where is the money in Huaibei now?" ”

Dou You replied: "Back to the king, Ejun has come to report that the money we looted in Huaibei is about to arrive in Zhongli, and in a few days, we will be at the bottom of Shou County." Ejun summoned that this time the property in the treasury of various parts of the northern part of Yuehuai exceeded 20,000 gold, and the money in the treasury of Shandao City alone exceeded 10,000 gold. However, because the Qi State sent troops too quickly, the property of Weixian County and other places in the north was only too late to be transported, so it could only be left in Huaibei. ”

After a pause, Dou You continued: "In addition, Ejun sent a letter, asking the king to let him go to the Huaibei region of my Chu State, and Ejun is preparing to transport all the remaining money and grain of my Chu State in Huaibei back to Huainan. In addition, Ejun planned to continue to stay in Huaibei to guard, and if he could, Ejun would transport the newly harvested grain from Huaibei back to Huainan. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this.

The so-called Chu-Huai North refers to a large area east of Surabaya, which is connected to the Song and Wei countries in the north, if the countries invade Chu, this area will also become the target of various countries, and because the Song State occupies the upper reaches of Surabaya, there is no danger in the north of Chu and Huai, if the alliance of the Qi, Wei and Song Kingdoms goes south from the Song State, in the case that the Chu State is contained by the Qin State and other countries, this area is very dangerous.

And the south of Chu Huaibei, crossing the Huaishui, is Shou County, an important town in Huainan of Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai responded: "Not bad! This year's grain is about to be harvested, and if the time of the union of the countries is a little slower, the widow can still eat the new grain offered by Huaibei. If the widow wants to eat the next new wheat in Huaibei, I am afraid that he will have to wait for the widow to recover and recapture Huaibei after a few years. ”

Dou You sighed lightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to take it.

After a pause, he spoke again: "Great King, General Zhaohua has come to report that the copper coins accumulated in the city of Wu in Yue Kingdom exceed 100,000 gold, and there are thousands of catties of gold, plus the money from other places, I am afraid it will be close to 200,000 gold." In addition, the savings of more than 1,000 years in the Yue Kingdom, among which there are many rare treasures, I don't know what the king intends to deal with, whether to transport all these money and treasures back to Yingdu. ”

Xiong Huai suddenly burst into joy when he heard this.

In recent years, the Yue State and the Chu State have made good friends, and under the deliberate promotion of the Chu State, the caravans of the two countries have been constantly coming and going, and many spices and tortoiseshell swords of the Yue State have been imported into the Chu State, and the Yue State has made a lot of money.

Coupled with the previous savings of the Yue State, this large sum of money is now all returned to the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help laughing and said: "The widow hears that the people are not rich without windfalls, and the horses are not rich without night grass, and they don't want the country to be the same. Moreover, this battle is no longer lost. ”

Dou You also smiled when he heard this, over the years, he, the Taifu Yin Ke, had worked hard to prepare for the war and the acquisition of Maimi, and his hair turned white.

Now, with the money of the Yue Kingdom, Taifu can easily live for several years, and there is no need to worry about running out of money.

Smiling, Dou You asked again, "Wang, what should I do with this money?" ”

Xiong Huai looked at Dou You, thought about it, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Taifu Yin, wait for General Zhaohua to count the money of Wu Di, and then transport 100,000 gold back to Yingdu first." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said with a smile: "A few years ago, in order to buy wheat from various countries, the widow borrowed 100,000 gold from Zhuqing for national use. Now that the widow has money, it's time to pay it back. ”

Dou You smiled when he heard this, and then asked, "King, what about the other money and goods, as well as those treasures?" ”

Xiong Huai said lightly: "All the rest of the money will be transported to Shou County, and it will be stored here for the time being, and the widow will be useful in the future." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said again: "Also, in the future, all the money and property in Huainan Jiangdong will be transported to Shou County, and there is no need to transport it back to Yingdu, and in the near future, the widow will have big things to do in Shou County." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Dou You was stunned, but Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen beside Xiong Huai all looked at the King of Chu hesitantly, and they couldn't guess what the big thing in the mouth of the King of Chu was for a while.

Dou You frowned, and immediately gave his hand to advise: "Your Majesty, please think twice, although this Shou County is an important place in Huainan, it is about to become the front line of the Chu State to resist the coalition forces of various countries, and it is too dangerous to concentrate a large amount of money and grain treasures here, for all countries, eleven huge bait."

What if..."

Although Dou You didn't say the rest of the words, Xiong Huai understood what Dou You meant, it was nothing more than worrying about the loss of Shou County, and all these money, grain and treasures made wedding dresses for other countries.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately said: "Taifu Yin rest assured, there is no case at all, and the widow has his own sense of proportion in his heart." ”

"This..." When Dou You heard the words of the King of Chu, he couldn't help but set his eyes on Chen Zhen.
