Xiong Huai was stunned.

Surprised by Zhuang Ji's unceremoniousness, he just asked casually, not wanting this Zhuang Ji to really have a suggestion.

It's just that Xiong Huai also hesitated in his heart, will this Zhuang Ji's next suggestion be the same as the previous one, with mixed reputations and dilemmas?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Zhuang Ji curiously, and asked, "General, please speak, the widow is willing to hear the details." ”

"Yui!" Zhuang Ji bowed his hand, straightened his body, and responded: "King, now that the main force of the Yue Kingdom has been wiped out, the next war against the Yue Kingdom may have some twists and turns, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. For my Chu State, in the next few years, or even more than ten years, the focus will be on how to rule the Yue State, weaken the resistance of the Yue people to the Chu State, and make the Yue people submit to the rule of our Chu State, so that the land of Yue will become the land of our Chu State. ”

Xiong Huai's face was straight when he heard this, what Zhuang Ji said, how to rule the land of Yueguo, is Xiong Huai's next focus, although Xiong Huai has many strategies, but at this moment Zhuang Ji mentioned, I also want to hear what he said, whether it is different from what he thinks.

"I wonder what the general suggests?" Xiong Huai asked.

Zhuang Ji immediately bowed his hand and said: "The minister's suggestion is to ask the king to honor a person tomorrow, and after occupying the entire territory of Yue Kingdom, he will issue an edict to kill a person." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, this was completely different from what he thought in his heart, so he asked curiously, "Who do you respect?" And who to kill? ”

Zhuang Ji responded: "Back to the king, the defeat of the Yue country lies in two people, one is Yue Gongzi Yu, and the other is Yue General Gongsun Hai. An increasingly powerful Yue country quickly collapsed because of Gongzi Yu's selfishness, and this Gongzi Yu was the culprit of the Yue country's demise. As soon as the Yue Kingdom dies, Gongzi Yu will inevitably become the target of hatred from the whole country of Yue and hate it to the extreme.

Therefore, as long as my Chu State captures Gongzi Yu, and then executes this Gongzi Yu who plagued Yue Country in the onlookers of the remnants of Yue Kingdom, then the remnants of Yue State will inevitably be grateful to my Chu State, and most of their hatred for my Chu State will also temporarily dissipate. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly.

Although Zhao Ju had already told Zhao Ying to take the opportunity to kill Gongzi Yu with his acquiescence, Xiong Huai did not expect that Gongzi Yu would still be useful.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's face changed, the decisive battle was already the day before yesterday, and after the decisive battle, Xiong Huai had already sent someone to inform Tang Yu to attack Wucheng immediately.

Although it will definitely take some time for Tang Yu to attack the city, but this is close to two days, maybe Tang Wu will start immediately after receiving the news, and then Zhao Ying will behead Gongzi Yu in the chaos of the army, this... This strategy of using Gongziyu's head to buy the Yue people was mentioned in vain.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai hurriedly instructed Chen Zhen: "Chen Qing, immediately send another wave of messengers to tell Zuo Sima Tang Yu, Gongzi Yu, and the widow must live." Also, send more messengers, send more horses, 100,000 are in a hurry, and if you are a little slow, it will be too late for the widow to worry. ”

Chen Zhen was stunned, he didn't know the secret plan between King Chu and Zhaoju, but seeing that King Chu was so anxious at this moment, he immediately responded: "It's the king." ”

Then, as soon as he gave up his hand, he withdrew the order directly from the hall without waiting for the end of the discussion.

After Chen Zhen left, Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and then, looking at Zhuang Ji with a smile, asked, "General, I don't know who you want to respect?" ”

Zhuang Ji responded: "The king, please ask the king to respect Gongsun Hai immediately and divide him tomorrow." While publicizing the killing of the king of Yue by Gongsun Hai, the news that Gongsun Hai was very noble in the Chu State and was very favored by the king also spread to all parts of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Gongsun Hai?" Xiong Huai was a little puzzled.

Not long ago, he promised Gongsun Hai in front of the public that he would be crowned king, just to appease the Yue people. Moreover, Chen Zhen has already proposed to vigorously publicize Gongsun Hai's plot to Yue Wang.

Why did Zhuang Ji deliberately bring it up?

Could it be that Zhuang Ji has other intentions?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked hesitantly: "Dare to ask why." ”

Zhuang Ji explained: "The king, the minister asked the king to respect Gongsun Hai, not to win over the Yue people and show the sincerity of my Chu State. It was to cooperate with Shi Ling's plan to make Gongsun Hai a target of hatred for the Yue people.

As soon as Gongzi Yu dies, the remnants of the Yue Kingdom may be grateful to my Chu State for the time being, but this mood will definitely not last. It won't be long before the remnants of the Yue Kingdom will miss the Yue Kingdom, so in addition to our Chu State, Gongsun Hai, who killed the King of Yue and defected on the battlefield, is also the target of the Yue people's hatred.

Therefore, the minister asked the king to declare to the Yue country that the reason why this battle was able to defeat the Yue country was that Gongsun Hai had a great contribution, otherwise, how could the king of Yue and the prince die on the battlefield. As long as Gongsun Hai does not die for a day, then the target of the Yue people's hatred will not only be concentrated on the Chu State, but will also hate Gongsun Hai even more. The more noble and high the status of Gongsun Hai in the Chu State, the more people hated him.

In this way, in the face of the powerful Chu State, as well as Gongsun Hai, who betrayed the country to seek glory, the Yue people were powerless to fight against our Chu State, so they would naturally turn their anger to Gongsun Hai. lest the anger in the hearts of Yue people has been accumulated in his heart until he can bear it anymore, and finally vent it to my Chu State. ”

As Zhuang Ji spoke, the light in Xiong Huai's eyes became brighter and brighter, until Zhuang Ji finished speaking, Xiong Huai was stunned, and then let out a string of laughs.

Before, Xiong Huai's strategy for Yue was to prepare to resolve the contradictions between Chu and Yue, until in the end, Chu and Yue merged into one, and the contradictions no longer existed.

Although this method can cure the root cause, it takes a long time and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

And Zhuang Ji's suggestion, one is to weaken the Chu Yue contradiction, and the other is to transfer the Chu Yue contradiction, the combination of the two, with a Chu army, is enough to stabilize the Yue country for several years or even more than ten years.

With this period of time, coupled with Xiong Huai's own strategy, ten years later, the state of Chu would be able to defend the state of Yue without heavy troops. Perhaps, twenty years later, the entire Yue State will become a part of the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said, "It seems that there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow!" Not only does it need to bury King Yue, but it is also necessary to crown Gongsun Hai as the king. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai shook his head again and said: "No, Gongsun Hai brought the head of the king of Yue to the widow, and let the widow defeat the Yue army in one fell swoop, such a great achievement, even if he is directly crowned as a marquis, it is deserved." I don't know what you think! ”

When the generals heard this, they did not object.

Anyway, Gongsun Hai, the general, is different from these Chu generals, just an arrow target erected by the king of Chu for the Yue people, not really to make him the king.

Moreover, listening to the tone of Zhuang Ji and King Chu, when this Gongsun Hai is useless, there is a chance that Gongzi Yu will end up with the same fate.

Everyone saw that the king of Chu had already moved, so they said in unison: "The king is wise!" ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this.

Then, he looked at Zhuang Ji and asked, "I wonder if the general has any suggestions?" ”
