As he spoke, King Qi remembered the place where Qi fought to the death, and suddenly sighed. Then he shook his head, and after a pause, he said heavily: "Xiangguo, in the current situation, the Chu State is about to form a situation of one country dominating, and the Yue State is too remote, it has been cut off by the Chu State, and it is not connected to other countries. In the face of this situation, it is like the annexation of the three kingdoms of Bashu by the Qin State, and the countries are powerless.

Although the widow has the heart to contribute, the Qi State has been weakened too much by the Chu State in recent years, and its strength is seriously insufficient. Therefore, the widow is worried that even if all countries jointly attack Chu, they may not be able to make Chu spit out Yueguo, how should this be! ”

The prince pondered for a while, and before he could speak, someone outside the hall reported in a big victory: "King, King Yue sent a messenger to ask for help." ”

"King Yue's envoy!?"

King Qi was stunned, glanced at the prince, and then the two of them showed great joy at the same time.

The king of Yue asked for help, which shows that the Yue State is still resisting the Chu State.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit to the weakening of the Chu State.

Once the state of Chu is defeated by various countries, even if the Yue state cannot recover Huainan, it will be able to recapture Jiangdong. In this way, there will be a Yue State behind the Chu State, which will cause endless troubles for the Chu State.

Thinking of this, King Qi's face froze, and he suddenly remembered Yan Guolai.

Thinking about it, the King of Qi secretly made up his mind that he must keep the Yue Kingdom and make the Yue Kingdom the Yan State of the Chu State.

At this time, the prince happily arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister already has a plan!" ”

King Qi asked expectantly: "Xiangguo come quickly!" ”

Chu Ziying said: "King, the fact that the King of Yue can send an envoy to come undoubtedly shows that the Yue Kingdom is still resisting the Chu army in Yuedi, which is a great benefit to all countries." At the same time, the behavior of the Chu State has shaken the world, and now is the time to unite all countries to break Chu and weaken Chu, and only by weakening the Chu State can the pace of the Chu State being swallowed and encroached upon by the Chu State be disrupted. In this way, my Qi country has a chance to become the third way outside of Qin and Chu. ”

Saying that, Chu Zi immediately arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister suggests that he immediately order General Zhangzi to go south to Huaibei before the Yue Kingdom under the banner of rescuing the Yue Kingdom, threatening the Chu army on the one hand, and giving the Yue people the confidence to persevere."

In addition, send envoys to the occupied places of the Yue State, encourage the nobles of the Yue Kingdom in all the places occupied by the Chu State, let them unite to resist the rule of the Chu people, and tell them that our Qi State is contacting various countries to help the Yue State restore the country, just as the countries helped the Yan State to restore the country before. In short, it is necessary that the entire Yue State cannot be stabilized, contain the army of the Chu State, and reduce the pressure on all countries to attack the Chu State.

The most important thing is to immediately send envoys to various countries to form an alliance against the Chu State. ”

"It's nature!" King Qi nodded when he heard this.

King Qi and Prince Zi have been ministers for more than ten years, and when they heard that Chu Zi's plan was not brilliant, they smiled, looked at Chu Zi expectantly, and asked: "Xiangguo, after the alliance, how can I maximize the interests of Qi State." ”

Chu Zi said with a smile: "Great King, now that the strength of my Qi State has been greatly weakened by the Chu State, it is difficult to challenge Qin and Chu alone. Therefore, the minister thinks that at this time, it is better to be slow than fast, and it is better to be slow than fast. The minister's meaning is to expel the forces of the Chu State from Huaibei through the battle of Chu and fight against the Chu State across the water. The state of Chu occupies Huaibei, and the threat to our state of Qi is too great.

After the war, it was necessary to unite Wei and Yue to form a Triple Alliance to deal with the threat of Qin, Zhao, and Chu.

In addition, South Korea in the middle of the world needs to fight hard, as long as South Korea falls against us, then we can attack other countries and encroach on the world. ”

Saying that, Chu Zi arched his hand and said: "Great King, my Qi country has neither the geographical advantages of Qin nor the huge Chu country, and rashly swallowing other countries will only lead to the coming of various countries." Therefore, the minister means that if the state of Qi wants to become the third way other than the Qin Emperor and the king of Chu, it needs to be slowly figured out.

The first step was to use this battle to drive the forces of the Chu State out of Huaibei and capture the Huaibei of the Chu State to avoid competing with the powerful Chu State. The second step is to take the opportunity to save Yue and force Yue to give up Huaibei and take Huaibei as much as possible. The third step is to unite with Wei to attack Song and return all the east of Surabaya to Qi.

In this way, the land of our Qi country, plus Huaibei, Sidong Lu and other places, is a big country with a territory of more than 3,000 miles. At that time, my Qi country has the solid of Huaishui in the south, the benefit of Surabaya in the west, and the danger of river water in the north.

When the time comes, the army will go out to conquer Yan and annex Zhao, so that our Qi country will occupy the general trend of the world. ”

King Qi swallowed, deeply attracted by the picture depicted by Chu Zi.

This will not be an illusory picture, but an extremely easy strategic goal to achieve, even easier than the plan to exterminate the swallow ten years ago.

At this moment, Huaibei is already within reach. And the country of Song, first offended the State of Qi to death, and now it has deeply offended the State of Wei, and soon after, the State of Chu, the backer, will collapse. At that time, as long as the Qi State co-opted the Wei State, it could attack a small country with the strength of the two great powers, and the Song State would not survive.

In this way, Qi and Wei could divide the Song State, and at that time, even if the Qi State ceded the rich Taoyi and Shangqiu to the Wei State, as long as they occupied the eastern part of the Song State, they could achieve their strategic goals.

Ten or twenty years later, when the Qi State seized the opportunity to destroy the Yan State again, even if the world besieged it, the Qi State did not have any fear.

Thinking about it, King Qi smiled and said, "The Song State owes a debt, and it should be repaid to the widow." ”

Saying that, King Qi immediately commanded loudly: "Order, please come and see the widow." ”

Soon, the dusty Yue envoy came to the hall, and when he saw the king of Qi, he immediately bowed to the ground and cried sadly: "The king..."

At the same time, the news of the imminent destruction of the Chu State and the Yue State reached all countries, and for a while, the world was shaken.

Shou County.

Gongsun Yan reported to Xiong Huaiyu: "King, the news from the three generals has lasted half a month, and our army has taken Huainan. After the three generals left behind the army defending the city, they had already led their divisions back to Shou County.

In addition, the news from General Zhaohua that after Sima Jian entered the land of Wu, the people of the land of Wu surrendered one after another, and at this time, the land of Wu had all belonged to my Chu State.

As for Yuedi, because it is too remote, there is no news yet. However, as General Sima Jian led the army into Vietnam, it was only a matter of time before the more land was annexed. ”

After a pause, Gongsun Yan said again: "And the Zhuguo side has already completed the deployment in Huaishui. At present, the fortifications of Zhongli in Shou County, which was originally in the territory of our Chu State, have been built, and at this moment, Zhu Guo is leading the army to build fortifications in the Beiliang Dongyang area of Yuedi. ”

"Good!" Hearing the good news from all over the country, Xiong Huai smiled, and then asked Chen Zhen, "Chen Qing, what is the situation in various countries now?" ”
