Seeing that Jing Cui turned a blind eye to himself, Jing Li had no choice but to salute the King of Chu and said: "King, Zhu Guo's words are misleading words, as the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose, not to mention that according to Zhu Guo's statement, our Chu State's defense line will continue from the sea in the east to the Han River in the west, stretching for more than a thousand miles, such a long defense line, even if it is a million army, I am afraid it will be dwarfed, how to hold it." ”

"This..." Jing Cui was dumbfounded for a while.

Chen Zhen waited for a while, and when he saw that Zhaoju didn't say anything, he understood that it was now his turn to be the vanguard of the King of Chu.

"The king, the minister has something to say." Chen Zhen saw that everyone else was looking at him, and said slowly: "King, it is true that the destruction of the Chu State will cause panic in all countries, and it will make the Chu State besieged by all countries, but how can we give up an opportunity to annex the Yue Kingdom because we are afraid of being besieged by other countries." ”

"A few years ago, the Qin State had annexed the Three Kingdoms of Bashu Yi, took the land of Bashu, and obtained the wealth of the Three Kingdoms for thousands of years. Qin was originally a strong country, but now it has obtained Bashu, and its national strength has increased greatly. ”

"And although the annexation of Yan by Qi failed, we still need to be vigilant, in today's world, the annexation of a big country is no longer an earth-shattering event, and Qin and Qi have set a precedent for all countries."

"If our Chu State continues its previous view and only weakens other great powers without annexing them, it is to raise tigers and leave behind an enemy country that hates me to the core."

"What's more, there is an isolated and helpless Yiqu State behind the Qin State, if the Qin State annexes the Yiqu State again, then the manpower and land of the Qin State will catch up with our Chu State, then with the strength of the Qin State, I am afraid that it will be on par with our Chu State."

After a pause, Chen Zhen said loudly: "The king, please ask the king to start the layout of the destruction of the Yue Kingdom now, if it is done at this time, then our Chu State will annex the Yue Kingdom, if it does not work at this time, with the strength of my Chu State, at most, it will only be the same as the Qi State, and it can be temporarily recuperated for a few years." ”

"The King..." Jing Li just got up and wanted to object, but was stopped by Xiong Huai raising his hand.

After Xiong Huai stopped the ministers from speaking, he said sharply: "In the past, Yue was only a small barbarian country in the land of Huiji, and it was blocked by Wu in the remote south, and it was with the support of the first king of my Chu State that Yue Kingdom became strong and able to compete with Wu State." ”

"But after the destruction of the Wu State by the Yue State, he did not want to repay the Chu State, but he had many difficulties with the Chu State, and it has been more than a hundred years now, it is tolerable or unbearable, the ministers do not speak, and the widow decided to start destroying the Yue."

After speaking, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and said: "Today's matter is the plan of my Chu State in the next few years, and it cannot be said to others. ”

"The ministers receive orders." The ministers bowed.

After the ministers got up, Xiong Huai said again: "The next thing is the specific matter of destroying Yue, there are two key points, one is how to destroy Yue, and second, how to guard against other countries, I don't know how the ministers teach the widows." ”

Zhao Ju had already known the news of the King of Chu's plan to destroy Yue a few months ago, and he had already made a lot of efforts, so he took the lead in speaking: "King, the matter of destroying Yue still needs to be in the country, and there are two opportunities for my Chu State to attack the Yue Kingdom next, one of which is the collapse of the Yue King, and the two sons of the Yue King are fighting. Second, King Yue was not dead, and one of the sons of King Yue was forced to a desperate situation and had to fight back. ”

"In order to promote these two situations to happen, we need the help of the Chu State to continuously support the heirs of the King of Yue from competing for each other, and not let them divide the victory and defeat in advance."

Chen Zhen continued: "Great King, the neighboring powers of Yue are my Chu State and Qi State, and now that we and Yue are allies, we can take this opportunity to urge Qi and Yue to fight again, so as to weaken the strength of Yue State." ”

Jing Li sneered: "The Yue country is also a small country, and two wars broke out with the Qi country just now, and the losses are not small. And Qi was defeated in the last war, and now it is recuperating, dare to ask how the two countries of Qi and Yue fought against each other? ”

Chen Zhen said: "Huaibei Land, as long as Huaibei Land is still in the hands of Yue Guo, then Yue Guo will have a conflict with Qi State." ”

Jing Li asked, "What if the Qi State plans to give up Huaibei!" ”

Chen Zhen said in a deep voice: "Then bribe the king of Yue and ask the Yue Kingdom to attack the Qi Kingdom with us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dumbfounded, but no one refuted.

Xiong Huai's pupils suddenly contracted when he heard this, this was a strategy to kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand. If the Yue Kingdom is greedy, if you can bribe the King of Yue with treasures, this is the heavens to destroy the Yue Kingdom, if the King of Yue is unwilling to face the Qi State alone, then use the treasure to ask the Yue Kingdom to send troops to help the Chu State to fight Qi, the Chu State is large and the Yue State is small, the Chu State sacrificed 10,000 elite soldiers, and the Yue State lost 8,000 elite soldiers, no matter how this account is calculated, it is the Chu State that earned.

As for the common people, born in the Warring States, this is a sin.

Warring States ··· Warring States, if you don't fight, is it still called the Warring States...

Besides, the common people of the Qin State are mainly engaged in war, and farming is a sideline, and they are known as happy when they hear about war.

Xiong Huai suddenly found that his blood was full of blood, as if it was all cold.

After a moment of coldness in the main hall, Zhao Slip said: "The king, the Wu people of the Yue Kingdom can actually be bought, and the minister asks the king to buy the Wu people with a lot of money." ”

As Zhao Slip spoke, the topic returned to the extinction again, and the depression of the main hall was swept away.

It's just that when Xiong Huai heard that he was bought with a lot of money, his head suddenly became big, and he couldn't help but look at Taifu Yin Douyou: "Xianqing, I don't know if Taifu can still squeeze out ten thousand gold?" ”

Dou You gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhao Slip, shook his head and said: "King, Taifu can't even take out a thousand gold now, and all the money has been taken out to buy wheat and rice. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly, and said to Zhao: "Now Taifu has no money, after August, the widow gave Xianqing ten thousand gold, which was specially used to buy the anti-Vietnamese Wu people." ”

"The minister commands." Zhao Slip responded, and then, after a pause, he said: "King, the river network in the territory of Yue Country is dense, three miles, one river, two miles and one ditch. Although the boat division of my Chu State is the first in the world, and there is no opponent in the river, but attacking the Yue State not only needs a big boat, but also a small boat, please prepare for it as soon as possible. ”

Jing Cui also agreed: "King, what General Zhaohua said is true, the land of Jianghuai is fine, and the rivers in the land of Wuyue are far more than other places, and the time to use boats and boats is far more than the time to use chariots and horses, which must be investigated." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and said, "Sikong, the matter of the boat will be handed over to Xianqing." ”

"The minister commands." Zhao Yu saluted.

After that, Xiong Huai asked again: "Regarding the matter of Yue Guo, Zhu Qing can have something to add." ”

After the ministers were silent for a moment, Zhao Jujin said: "The king, the defeated Tang is shrewd and capable, stationed in Guangling City for several years, and has never let the Yue Kingdom take advantage. Weichen thought that the king could recall Tang Wu and select another good general to garrison Guangling, one to show goodwill to the king of Yue to express the closeness of Chu and Yue, and the other to use a good general who was far less famous than Tang Yu to garrison Guangling, which could also make Yue take it lightly. ”

Jing Cui's spirits perked up when he heard this, this is a good plan, in addition to the two benefits that Zhao Ju said, he can also transfer Tang Yu back.

As an important minister, Tang Wu's status is almost the same as that of himself and Zhaoju, and he has been at war with Yue for many years, if Tang Wu has been in Guangling, once Chu State attacks Yue, half of the main generals may be Tang Wu.

This...

Let's transfer Tang Yu back.
