Five days later, in the early morning, Xiong Huai was awakened by Li Qiu in a coma.

After fixing his mind, he remembered that today was the day to convene the important ministers.

After lying on the bed for a while, it wasn't until Li Qiu came to remind him for the second time that Xiong Huai didn't feel sleepy.

"Born in sorrow and died in peace, gentle township, heroic mound, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"

With a sigh, Xiong Huai gently shook Han Meiren who was lying on his body, but saw that he twisted his body slightly, and then there was no movement, he still slept darkly, and then a trace of saliva flowed out of his mouth, dripping directly on Xiong Huai's chest along his cheeks.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai rubbed her hair dotingly, and then hugged her off herself.

After changing clothes and leaving his dormitory, Xiong Huai instructed: "You don't have to wake up Han Meiren, just wait for her to wake up." ”

"No."

"Ling Yin, have they all arrived?"

"Back to the king, all the ministers have arrived."

"Good!"

Come to the main hall and finish the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at the important ministers of Chu State and said, "Today, I summoned Qing and others to come here to attack the Yue Kingdom. ”

"This matter began to be laid out more than ten years ago, and since the official decision to cut down a few years ago, until today, the time is gradually ripe."

"The state of Chu invaded Yue, and the two countries of Qin and Qi, which the widows were most worried about, were weakened successively after the last war, and the state of Zhao seized the upper county of the state of Qin, and the state of Wei occupied the Shaoliang of the state of Qin, and the attention of the state of Qin at this stage is all on the two countries of Wei and Zhao."

"Although the State of Qi has broken the situation of diplomatic isolation, it has been repeatedly weakened by outnumbered people, and it urgently needs time to recuperate."

"There are only two questions now, that is, whether the Chu State is ready for a big war, and whether the situation in the Yue State is conducive to the outnumbered people to cut down the Yue?"

Saying that, Xiong Huai asked Dou You: "Taifu Yin, as the saying goes, the three armies go first before they move the grain and grass. Qing first tell me whether the Taifu of my Chu State is ready for war? ”

As the King of Chu asked, all the ministers looked at Yin Douyou of Taifu.

Gongsun Yan listened to the words of the King of Chu, and saw the expressions of all the ministers of the Chu State who were not surprised, and immediately realized that this was a matter that the people of the Chu State had reached a consensus on a long time ago.

It is inevitable that there is some loss in my heart.

Sure enough, although the State of Chu was wary of the State of Qin, if the State of Qin did not go out of the east, then the State of Chu, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of geographical advantages, did not have the intention of taking the initiative to attack the dangerous pass of the State of Qin.

The state of Chu is not keen on things that are half the work, or even the things that work without success, which can be seen from the two times when various countries invaded Qin, and the state of Chu did not work hard.

It's just that now that the previous King of Qin is dead, and all the gaps in the West River in Shangjun have been opened, Gongsun Yan's hatred for the Qin State has dissipated by more than half, and there is still a small half left, that is, Zhang Yi is not dead.

Just thinking about it, Douyu over there had already spoken.

"King, in the past few years, the minister has been preparing grain and grass and other war preparation materials for the war of Yue, but the world is constantly strife, and my Chu State is also a war for many years, even if the minister uses all the money in the Taifu of Chu State to store grain, so far, it is only to prepare the military food for the three-year war, and it is also a reserve grain based on selling rice. If it is only a war against Vietnam, it will be enough, but in the face of the siege of various countries and the battle of the whole country, I am afraid it will be insufficient. ”

Dou You bowed and said: "The minister is incompetent, please surrender to the king!" ”

Xiong Huai nodded solemnly, the food of the three-year war was indeed very reluctant.

Once all countries come to attack, then such a large territory as the Chu State, even if it is just a defense, it will need to be fought by the whole country. I am afraid that there will be a lot of soldiers and civilians who need to be recruited to fight for the whole country, so it is likely that there will not be many people who will continue to farm, and once it is protracted, then food will be a fatal problem.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, there is still time before Fa Yue, Taifu Yin can continue to stock up on grain." Moreover, the widow has already decided that he will recuperate in the next year and will not continue to send troops to fight. ”

"No." Dou You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and while fighting hard, he also had to prepare food, and the pressure on Taifu was not ordinary.

After asking the question of food, Xiong Huai asked Zhaoyu: "Sikong, I don't know how the ordnance in the warehouse of the Baigong Mansion is prepared now?" ”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said: "Back to the king, the minister has already made arrangements for this matter, and has been using a large number of craftsmen to build the weapon of defense for several years, and a small number of craftsmen have been used to prepare for the cutting of Yue, which lasted three years, and now it is ready, and the weapons are abundant, even if the countries come to attack, the king does not need to worry about the lack of weapons." ”

Hearing this news, Xiong Huai immediately smiled and said, "Okay, this is indeed good news. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen, "Assassin Shiling, how is it over there in Yue now?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "Great King, according to the news from the Yue Kingdom, the original King of Yue, under the advice of Yue Meng, has not reused the prince's hooves in the past two years, and the internal strife in the Yue Kingdom has eased somewhat. ”

Xiong Huai frowned when he heard this, this is not good news.

The calm Yue country is not a good Yue country for the Chu country.

"However, during the recent Autumn Festival held by King Yue, the situation was fundamentally reversed."

Xiong Huai was then overjoyed and spoke: "What's the situation, Xianqing come quickly!" ”

Chen Zhen said with a smile: "Last time Yue Guo Qiu Qi, the king of Yue stayed in Wucheng to supervise the country with Gongzi Yu, and returned to Huiji with Gongzi Yu, which was originally extremely beneficial to Gongzi Yu. But where Huiji, Gongshiyu helped Gongzihu to match everywhere and introduced Gongzihu to the local families of Yueguo. ”

As a result, Gongzi's hoof, which was already favored by the Yue people, had a very happy conversation with the Yue people of Huiji, and the major families fell to Gongzi's hoof. After King Yue returned to Wucheng with Gongzi's hoof, Gongzi's strength in the court suddenly skyrocketed, and he quickly overwhelmed Gongziyu. Even if Gongziyu has the support of King Yue's confidant Yue Meng, he is still at a disadvantage. ”

For this reason, Gongziyu, under the advice of Zhaohua, sent his henchmen to various parts of the Yue Kingdom and began to win over the local big families. However, unfortunately, the news leaked and was learned by Childe's hoof. Similarly, not to be outdone, Childe Hoof also sent envoys to various places to win over his wings. ”

Saying that, Chen Zhen smiled and said: "King, continue to develop according to the current situation, if King Yue does not intervene strongly, it won't be long before the two parties in the Yue Kingdom will not only compete in the court, but I am afraid that the whole country will be divided into two factions, and disputes will continue." ”

Xiong Huai asked in surprise: "Didn't King Yue intervene in this situation?" ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Back to the king, of course King Yue interfered, not long ago, he summoned Gongzi Yu and Gongzi Hoof into the palace at the same time, and then scolded them bitterly. ”

"But the effect is not obvious, unless the king of Yue now immediately identifies the crown prince and kills the other, or both. Otherwise, in the current situation, Gongziyu and Gongzihu did not dare to stop at all, so they could only drift away on this road of no return, desperately trying to win over all forces. ”

"It's just that Gongzi's hoof has too much advantage, even if Gongziyu does his best, he still has a big disadvantage in the face of Gongzi's hoof."
