Xiong Huai nodded thoughtfully, the changes in the external situation of the Chu State were also what he was worried about recently.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hua, and then sighed: "I heard that the wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the waves become between the waves, and the virtuous people can see the great changes in the future through subtle changes. This kind of person who can see and know things can be described as virtuous, and this is probably a person like the general. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai asked again: "General, now that the state affairs are difficult, and the countries are about to attack Chu, I don't know what the general thinks Chu should do." ”

Zhao Hua thought about it, remembered a series of actions of the King of Chu during this time, especially those actions in Jiangdong, and muttered: "Great King, in order to attack the Yue State before, the State of Chu had fought continuously for many years, so that the country was tired and the people were tired.

Even, in order to stabilize the country, it is worth giving up some places for the time being. ”

Xiong Huai's heart moved slightly, what Zhao Hua said was exactly what he had been thinking in recent days.

It is true that with the strength of the Chu State, if it responds to the offensive of various countries with all its might, it can not only repel the armies of various countries, but even counterattack.

However, this situation is based on the all-out response of the whole country.

At this moment, Xiong Huai also needs to maintain enough troops in the center to deter the localities.

Therefore, the large-scale use of troops is not what Xiong Huai wants.

Moreover, once there is a large-scale mobilization, it is necessary to mobilize those people who are already exhausted to fight, and the people will inevitably be resentful when they are called.

If the law is not changed, it is fine, but once the law is changed, the local magnates will rise to the top and shout, and the people will inevitably respond en masse.

At that time, even if he was the king of Chu, how could there still be people who shared hardships with him.

Although the next changes in the Chu State are top-down, they still need the support of the people below. No, it shouldn't be said to be supportive, as long as the people don't respond to the nobles everywhere, as long as they can maintain neutrality, that's enough.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, it is not appropriate for the Chu State to raise troops in a big way now, at least in the next period of time.

However, the current situation is not a question of whether the Chu State wants to move or not, but whether the countries want to move the Chu State.

In such a situation, for the state of Chu, the best situation is to use a small number of soldiers to defend the important places and drag down the countries, as long as the state of Chu is ready.

The thoughts in his heart were full of thoughts, but Xiong Huai's footsteps did not pause for half a minute, and he still walked forward not fast or slow.

After Zhao Hua finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and quietly followed behind the King of Chu, unhurriedly.

After more than 20 steps, Xiong Huai suddenly spoke: "General, if the widow takes the defensive, then according to the general's opinion, where should the Chu State defend." ”

"There is no greater wisdom than the king, in fact, the king already has the answer."

"The widow still wants to hear the general's answer."

"Although the border of Chu is long, there are only so many targets for each country, so just like when we attack Qin, we will gather troops outside Hangu Pass, and the next time the countries attack Chu, the direction of attack will be the same as last time."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed.

Laughing, Xiong Huai suddenly ignored Zhao Slip behind him, and directly accelerated his pace and walked towards the harem.

At this time, Zhao Slip followed a few steps, and then saw that the King of Chu kept walking towards the harem, so he stopped and looked at the distant back of the King of Chu silently.

He was implicated in the assassination of King Chu before, and he was even deprived of his title, and he was indeed very desperate in his heart.

However, at that time, he still had hope, hoping that after the King of Chu was discouraged, he would be able to think of him again and use him again.

As a result, when the king of Chu returned to Yingdu, he waited for more than half a month, and he didn't see the king of Chu thinking about him at all, and he was very disappointed at that time.

Later, Zhao Ju was appointed as Ling Yin, and succeeded Xu Xing to preside over the construction of the canal, and he was very desperate when he saw that the people of the Zhao clan fell to Zhao Ju one after another.

Originally, he planned to recuperate at home for two years first, and after the king of Chu was discouraged, he asked someone to lobby the king of Chu to reinstate him.

However, seeing that Zhao Ju's position was becoming more and more consolidated, and seeing that his team in Wu Di was demolished by Zhao Ju, he decided not to wait any longer.

So, in order to be able to meet the King of Chu, in order to allow the King of Chu to use himself again, he prepared this chance encounter with surprise.

He knew the king of Chu, and he also knew that the relationship between the king of Chu and the queen was very deep, and he also knew that the king of Chu felt guilty about the queen because of the matter of Gongzi Zilan.

So, he visited Zhaochang more than a month ago and asked him to come forward and give him a position to guard the gate of the palace, and then guard the palace gate here more than a month in advance, and wait for the king of Chu.

As a result, he succeeded, successfully met the king of Chu by chance, and made a proposal to the king of Chu.

It's just that the king of Chu will reactivate him.

At this time, Zhao Hua looked at the back of King Chu who disappeared in the distance, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In the dormitory.

Xiong Huai put down Zhao Hua's information, and then went through Zhao Hua's recent experience in his mind, and slowly fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that Zhao Slip is also a very talented person, and it is a pity that it is left so empty.

If Zhao Slip is enabled, on the one hand, it can pull together the Zhao Slip vein and divide the Zhao clan.

Xiong Huai has always felt that the Zhao clan of the Chu State is too strong, even if several Chu kings have successively supported the Jing clan and the Zhao clan to confront the Zhao clan, but the effect is not obvious.

To this day, the Zhao clan is still the most powerful clan in the Chu State, and there are many talents, only since he himself ascended the throne, three of the five Ling Yin before and after came from the Zhao clan, and Zhaoyang Zhaoju are all capable people.

In contrast, even the strength of the Jing and Qu clans is a little bad. Especially Qu Shi, after suffering Qu Lu's defeat, Qu Shi was even more injured.

If it weren't for Qu Yuan in front, and Qu Yuan was still very young, the Qu family would probably have been reduced to an ordinary family.

Supporting the Qu Jing clan and dividing the Zhao clan is the established policy of King Xuan Wei and even Xiong Huai himself.

Therefore, from this aspect, Zhao Slip, which has contradictions with Zhao Ju, will definitely be activated, but it is just a matter of waiting for a while.

On the other hand, Xiong Huai knew very well in his heart that the purpose of Chu's change was not to eliminate the aristocracy, after all, as long as there was a state, the class was inevitable, and the nobles in the upper class could not be eliminated, and it was even more inevitable.

Therefore, the purpose of the reform was to transform the aristocracy and regain control of the people from the aristocracy, that is, the governing power and military power.

Previously, the Hanbei Fengjun, Ye Gongyinjun and others were transferred to the Fengjun of Shiyi, which is the case.

Jiangdong's change is even more so.

And the re-use of Zhaohua is also to achieve this purpose and set an example for all nobles.

Zhao Slip was born in a public family and has a noble status, if Zhao Slip can also obtain a title of power position in the new law, even if there is no fiefdom and private army, the treatment in Chu can be mixed very well, even better than their feudal lords and nobles.

In this way, it will undoubtedly attract many people, especially the children of the aristocracy who are talented but have no inheritance rights.

The reason why Tang Mo supported the change of the law was not because his Tang clan was full of talents, but because he was not a public office, he could not obtain the position of the top pillar state Ling Yin of the Chu State?

Therefore, if there is Qu Yuan as an example first, and then Zhao Hua as an example, Xiong Huai believes that the largest public family in the Chu State, there will also be a large number of supporters of the reform in the Zhao family.

As for the Zhao Slip Rebellion...

If the foundation of Zhaohua's body is to change the law, will Zhaohua take the initiative to rebel in the future?

At the very least, if Zhao Ju doesn't die, he won't dare, at most he will remain neutral.

For Xionghuai, that's enough.
