Xiong Huai's argument is also weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.

Shangguan Dafu's strategy of destroying the Song Dynasty, and even uniting Qi and Wei to destroy the Song Dynasty, could indeed expand the territory of the Chu State and enhance the strength of the Chu State.

Xiong Huai had already considered this when he was in Shou County before.

However, soon, Xiong Huai gave up on this plan!

One is that this plan does not help the situation that Chu is currently facing. The strength of the Qi State will not easily change its diplomatic strategy because of the temptation of the Chu State. On the contrary, the weak Song State was more likely to be moved when the diplomatic power could not be fully autonomous.

Moreover, even in the process of Qi Lianwei, it could not replace the dominant position of Qi, which was very unfavorable to the next diplomacy of Chu.

Stabilizing the Song State can not only directly relieve the pressure from the Song State, but also destroy the alliance of various countries.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the alliance of the six nations, each with its own ghosts, disintegrated the alliance of the six countries, and there was no need to pry the strongest country, and the weak country was actually the same.

More importantly, it is the hope that can be seen by the whole Chu State as soon as possible, so that in the early stage of the invasion of Chu by various countries, the heart of the soldiers of the Chu State can be strengthened to fight to the death.

And Song Guo is the most suitable target.

This is also the purpose of Xiong Huai as soon as he heard that the Song State ceded the land to the Qi State, and immediately sent someone to the Song State for 300 miles of land, and now what the Chu State needs most is hope, and the confidence of the ministers and soldiers to resist the attack of various countries!

In the eyes of ordinary people, the King of Song was humiliated, the Song State was weak, and the Song State was easy to be co-opted, which was in line with everyone's expectations.

Therefore, Xiong Huai was able to follow everyone's expectations and sent Chongcheng Zuo Yin to make peace, the purpose was to give everyone hope, not that the king of Chu did nothing.

As for whether the King of Song was willing to accept the peace of the Chu State, Xiong Huai didn't care at all.

Who made the Song Kingdom between the three great kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Chu!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai coughed lightly twice, interrupted the argument between the two, and said: "The Song State is weaker than the Chu State, and the King of Song has just suffered the humiliation of the Five Kingdoms, so the difficulty of winning over the Song State is far less than that of the Qi and Wei countries. Therefore, the widow is willing to choose the one who changes it. ”

"The King..."

Seeing that Doctor Shangguan wanted to persuade again, Xiong Huai immediately raised his hand and interrupted: "The widow knows Xianqing's worries, and also understands King Song's ambitions. Therefore, in order to satisfy the greed of the Song king, the widow has sent people to make friends with the Song king with 300 miles of land. In this way, how could the king of Song not be satisfied? ”

Speaking, Xiong Huai looked at Zuo Chengdao: "The middle doctor has made meritorious contributions, and he has given a thousand gold, and he has been promoted to a doctor..."

The other side.

After King Song and Qiu Liquid returned to Shangqiu, they discussed with their ministers about sending troops to Chu.

As a result, except for a few pro-Zhao ministers led by Yaqing Qiu Ye, the other ministers were all opposed to a large-scale attack on Chu.

Among them, the pro-Chu ministers advocated that the Song State send troops to recover the eight cities ceded to the Chu State two years ago, and then go down the Yingshui River to confront the Chu State in Huaishui.

The neutrals said that in addition to these eight cities, the Song state should also send troops to capture the Chu land south of Pengcheng in order to deal with the alliance of countries and expand the Song land. At the same time, in order not to offend the Chu State too much, it should be done in moderation, and only need to occupy the second or third counties of the Chu State.

As a result, the ministers led by Qiu Liquid and Hui Ang argued from morning to dusk in the court meeting, arguing for three days in a row, but they did not even fight for the number of troops sent and the main general who led the army.

Before the court meeting on the fourth day, Qiu Liquid rushed to the palace in advance.

"Your Majesty, there is news from all over the world. After Wei announced that it would send 250,000 troops to besiege Chencheng, the news of Qi and Zhao sending troops has also come! ”

King Song listened to Qiu Li's report, his heart moved, and he immediately asked, "How?" How many troops did Qi send? ”

Qiu Ye said with a smile: "Great King, the King of Qi has officially announced that the State of Qi will send 150,000 troops to help the State of Wei capture the land of Chen. In addition, Zhao has also announced that it will send 50,000 troops to help Wei attack Chen. ”

The King of Song was overjoyed when he heard this: "Heaven helps the widow, the State of Qi has been seriously weakened by the State of Chu before, and the national strength is not as good as before. This time, 150,000 troops were dispatched, and with the addition of Qi to defend the army of Yan State, there was no spare power to take care of it. Now that Qi and Wei are attacking Chen Di with all their might, then they must have no time to take care of the widows, and the Huaibei Land that the Chu State has given up is not in the pockets of the widows? ”

Qiu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." ”

King Song smiled, and then said to Qiu Li: "Today's court meeting, although Yaqing is righteous, the widow will appoint Qing as Shangqing to preside over the affairs of my Song State and Chu." If Qing can capture Huaibei for the widow, the widow will never be stingy, and he is willing to tear the soil and seal the king! ”

Qiu Liquid was overjoyed and said, "King Xie! ”

Soon after.

In the main hall of the Song Kingdom, Hui Ang saw Qiu Ye follow the King of Song into the main hall, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

After the ceremony.

Before the ministers got up, Qiu Ye spoke: "King, the ministers have received news that now the armies of various countries have set off and are on their way to Chu. However, at this time, I, the Song Kingdom, have not even decided on the number of troops to send, which is very inappropriate. The minister is worried that if my Song country continues to delay, the minister is worried that the countries will think that my Song country has two hearts. ”

King Song immediately responded: "Yes, the king of the five kingdoms of the widow swears that he will send troops to attack Chu." Therefore, in order to prevent the countries from thinking that the outnumbered people betrayed the alliance, the outnumbered people decided to send 150,000 troops to attack the Huaibei of the Chu State, so as to assist the countries from the flank to attack Chu. ”

Before the words fell, Hui Ang immediately bowed: "King, this matter must not be allowed, in the past few years, my Song State has repeatedly sent troops to fight against the Qi State, and the casualties of the soldiers are not small, and the 150,000 army is already the entire strength of my Song State." Once the war against Chu is defeated, or the two countries of Qi and Wei have different intentions, then our Song State will definitely suffer a great disaster. ”

King Song's face sank when he heard this, and he scolded: "Why did Huiqing say such foolish words, not to mention that the widow has sworn an oath with the king of the five countries, just saying that the two countries of Qi and Wei are about to attack Chen Cheng with all their might, then they can't take care of the widow, and they will only worry that the widow will fall to the Chu State, where will there be dissent!"

Moreover, the world is attacking Chu, and the Chu State itself is difficult to protect, and it has taken the initiative to give up Huaibei, which is a good opportunity for the widow to take Huaibei lightly, how can it fail?

The matter of 150,000 troops attacking Chu is imperative, and Hui Qing does not need to say much. ”

As soon as King Song's voice fell, the hall was instantly quiet, and the atmosphere also changed.

In the previous three days, King Song had not spoken, but let the ministers discuss. Now, the king of Song not only personally stepped down to debate with his ministers, but also reprimanded Hui An, the head of the hundred officials!

This...

The situation is already completely different.

After King Song reprimanded Hui An, he saw that the hall was silent and the needles could be heard, thinking that the ministers were all captured by himself. So, he smiled and was about to officially announce the matter of cutting Chu.

As a result, as soon as the words reached his lips, he heard the important ministers of the public office, Dai Yuan, the clan brother who had raised troops with him to drive away his brother, speak:

"The king, the minister thinks that the heart of defense is indispensable, and the two countries of Qi and Wei forced my Song State to cede Xue Di, if I see that my Song army is all outside, I will definitely have a different heart and take advantage of the void!"
