On the second day, Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai sat in the position of the king of Chu and said to the ministers below: "Yesterday, the general Zhaohua returned from the Yue country and stated to the widow about the Yue invasion. General, you will tell the ministers about the situation of Yue Guo again. ”

"The minister commands."

Just when Zhao Hua was talking about the affairs of Yue Guo, Zhao Ju and Chen Zhen glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of discoloration in each other's eyes.

In the battle of Danshui before, the king of Chu deliberately cut down Yue, no, not to cut Yue, but to destroy Yue.

Now the king has thrown the problem of cutting Yue to the ministers, and he must be unwilling to send troops at this time, but he wants to officially start the layout of the Yue country.

Zhao Ju listened carefully to Zhao Slip's narration, nodded, and then shook his head.

The current situation, although it is a good time to cut Yue, but unfortunately, the Chu State is not ready now.

After Zhao Hua finished speaking, Jing Cui estimated the pros and cons in his heart, and was the first to react, and said: "King, what General Zhao Hua said is good, now that the main force of Yue is outside, and the country is empty, it is a good time to cut down Yue." ”

"Weichen asks for war, only 200,000 warriors are needed, and the minister is willing to attack Wu for the king."

Xiong Huai smiled: "Okay, Zhuguo is dedicated to the country." ”

Seeing that Chen Zhen did not move, Zhao Ju said: "The king, the ministers have objections, and the matter of cutting down Yue still needs to be discussed in the long run. ”

Hearing Zhao Ju's objection, Zhao Li frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Ju.

Xiong Huai asked, "Why is Sima opposed?" Do you think that my Chu State can't beat the Yue Kingdom? ”

Zhao Ju shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that my Chu State will be able to win a battle at this time. However, the minister believed that even if we defeated the Yue Kingdom, I was afraid that not only would we not get the land of the Yue Kingdom, but we would also lose the two allies of the Wei State and the Korean State. ”

"I want to hear about it." Xiong Huai asked.

"The King." Zhao Ju saluted, and then spoke: "In the last battle for the restoration of the Yan State, our Chu State defeated Qin and Qi at the same time, and the prestige of the king has reached a new peak, and all countries have turned their eyes. ”

"It's very good, but it also has a bad consequence. The world can unite all the nations with evil intentions, except for interests and hatred, and the rest is fear. In the past, the Six Kingdoms combined to attack Qin and the whole world to attack Qi because of fear. ”

"Our Chu State has defeated Qin and Qi and obtained the Huaibei land of Qi State, if it is at this time, the minister believes that with the ability of the Zhu State, he will definitely be able to win the battle."

"It's just that in this way, the main force of the Yue Kingdom still exists, and the homeland of the Yue Kingdom is still there, and the King of Yue will definitely make peace with the Qi State, and on the condition of Huaibei Land, please invite the Qi State to attack our Chu State together."

Zhao Hua opened his mouth and said: "The new defeat of the Qi State, coupled with the fact that the Yan State is full of hatred for the Qi State, if we use Huaibei Land as a condition and ask the Qi State to be neutral, I think the Qi State will agree." ”

Zhao Ju shook his head and said: "Otherwise, although the King of Yan is ambitious, the Yan Kingdom has been sacked by the Qi State, and the Zhongshan State has occupied a large amount of land, and the current Yan State is in ruins, and it is not capable of threatening the Qi State at all." ”

"For the State of Qi, it is also to return to the northern land of Huai, a weak Yue State as a neighbor, compared with a strong Chu State as a neighbor, the choice of the King of Qi can be imagined. Especially our Chu State not long ago let the Qi State lose the Yan State, hatred, interests, fear, these three things are all there, Wei Chen can't figure out what reason the Qi State has not to attack our Chu State. ”

"If we fight with Qi and Yue, then the Qin State, which has just suffered a big loss from our Chu State, will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will inevitably send troops to attack us."

"If the Qin State directly sends troops to attack us, then it only takes one lobbyist, and Wei and Han are likely to betray us, if the Qin State invades Han, then the Wei and Han countries are afraid of our country, and the other is that without the support of our Chu State, they will definitely betray us."

"What if..."

Before Zhao Ju could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jing Cui.

Jing Cui's face sank and said: "Sima, there are so many things in the world, how can everything in life be perfect, as long as there is a fifty percent chance of success, then you can let go and do it, and if you attack the Vietnamese country, you can fight it." ”

"As for holding the land of the Yue Kingdom, the Guangling City of Tang Yu is enough to resist Qi Yue's army for several months, just for defense, can the Qin State still be able to fly over Fangcheng Mountain and Danshui Hanshui."

"The king, the minister thinks that it is feasible to cut down Yue, and he can take advantage of the next good opportunity to attack Wucheng directly."

Zhao Ju looked at Jing Cui coldly and said: "What Zhu Guo said is easy, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Now although the main force of the Yue State is gathered in Huaibei, but the Yue State still has tens of thousands of troops in the Wu land, once my Chu State invades, Wu Land can recruit more than 100,000 troops overnight, if it is based on the city and defends, I don't know how long it will take for the Zhu State to capture Wu City, whether it can capture Wu City before the Yue soldiers of Huiji come to help. ”

"Moreover, Wucheng is close to the sea, and the previous naval battles between Qi and Yue have shown that even if the warships cannot fight on the sea, if they are used to transport troops and food, it is more than enough. If the reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom came by sea, then it would only take more than ten days for the reinforcements from Huiji or Huaibei to reach Wucheng. ”

"Therefore, according to Weichen's opinion, the main force of the Yue army must be broken first, otherwise, even if Wu City is captured, under the counterattack of the Vietnamese army, it may not be able to hold the land that has been obtained."

Jing Cui then retorted: "Otherwise, the main force of the Vietnamese army is in Huaibei, this is a tree without roots, there is no foundation at all, as long as our army lays down the land of Wu and cuts off the ditch, we can cut off the grain road of the Vietnamese army. Besides, the longer the Wu people suffer, the more our Chu army enters Wu, and we can also get the support of the local Wu people. ”

"Sima wants to fight against the main force of the Yue army in a dignified manner, and then attack the city, then how many troops will my Chu State lose, 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000, or even more. Once it is protracted and when other countries come to attack, how will our Chu State defend and how will it continue to attack the Yue State. ”

Zhao Ju sneered: "Zhu Guo is too taken for granted, the Vietnamese army will collapse because of lack of food, this is simply impossible, you must know that Qi State, as the richest country in the world, has never been short of food." Use the grain of the Qi State to let the Chu State and the Yue State consume each other, and the King of Qi will definitely do this. ”

"As for the Wu people, more than a hundred years have passed, and there are a lot of Wu people and Yue people who are fighting for power and profit, and how many Wu people are bent on resisting the Yue country, and the Chu army has entered the Wu land, whether the Wu people hate the Yue people who have destroyed the Wu country for more than a hundred years, or they hate the Chu army that has burned the war to Wu land now, this answer is self-evident."

Jing Cui said disapprerovingly: "Sima has too many concerns, the Wu people have been fighting for power with the Yue people for decades, but they have always been attacked by the Yue King and the Yue people, if my Chu army enters the Wu land and buys the Wu people with a lot of money, the Wu people will be a pot of wine to welcome the Chu army..."

Xiong Huai saw that Jingcui and Zhaoju had not fought for a long time, so he interrupted: "Ling Yin, I don't know what Qing thinks?" ”

After the King of Chu opened his mouth to ask, Zhao Ju and Jing Cui stopped unsatisfied, and then set their eyes on Jing Li.
