Jing Li was silent for a few breaths, and then said: "King, what Zhu Guo and Sima said is reasonable, now as Zhu Guo said, it is a good time to cut Yue, but in addition to the difficulties that Sima said, the minister is more worried about whether our Chu State can launch a national war again now." ”

"The last time my Chu State mobilized millions of people, even the ten-year-old child was mobilized, and now it is less than half a year apart, and there is a national war going on, and the people are probably overwhelmed. Moreover, after the end of the last war, the king exempted the people of Deng Ye and Chen, and exempted the feudal monarchs who participated in the war from paying tribute for one year, so between Jiang and Han, my Chu State actually had no soldiers and no food to levy. ”

"I only saw the chaos within the Yue Kingdom, but I didn't look at the exhaustion of the people of my country, King, this is very dangerous for the Chu State."

Xiong Huai couldn't help but nod when he heard Jing Li's words.

To be honest, during this period of time, Chu Guo also felt a sense of exhaustion.

Regarding the internal difficulties of the Chu State, Zhao Ju knew that he knew better than Jing Cui, but Zhao Ju did not mention it at all, and the reason for his opposition was all from a military point of view, which was to bring selfishness, and the ass decided the head.

Of course, although Xiong Huai saw Zhao Ju's selfishness, he did not doubt Zhao Ju's loyalty, this is normal, otherwise, as Sima, Zhao Ju would be difficult to convince the public.

The courtiers are selfish, this is understandable, and there is no need to worry, the real need to worry is those who seem to be unselfish, because you don't know what he is thinking, good and evil are only in one thought, this is fatal.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai suddenly thought of the Qin State, all the merits of the Qin State are on par with the military merits, in the face of this situation, will the generals of the Qin State who were killed from the battlefield unanimously ask for war?

Shaking his head slightly, Xiong Huai gathered his thoughts and asked Dou You: "Xianqing, how is the money and food in Taifu now." ”

Dou You coughed lightly and said: "Back to the king, after several months of purchase, now the food in Taifu is enough to support a national war, as for the money!" Previously, Weichen had shipped all the surplus money of Yingdu to various places to prepare for the purchase of wheat and rice. ”

"If the king decides to attack the Yue Kingdom at this time, Wechen can ensure that there is no shortage of grain and grass, but the money that the king owes Wechen, not to mention double the return, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to repay the principal in a few years."

"Uh..." Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this.

At this time, the ministers reacted, indeed, if the war starts at this time, the state of Chu will definitely need to use Maimi, so that the Maimi plan will definitely go bankrupt, so if the king of Chu can't afford to pay back the money...

cough cough cough ·

It's nothing if the king of Chu doesn't pay back his money, the key is that those feudal lords of the state of Chu, once they make trouble, not only will the king of Chu not be able to step down, but I'm afraid he will have to step down as well.

When I thought that the king of Chu had hacked so many feudal monarchs with nearly 100,000 gold, and the feudal monarchs were angry, I felt terrible just thinking about it.

Especially Jing Li, his face turned pale in an instant, if this kind of thing really happened, then as Ling Yin, I am afraid that he would not only have to step down, but also commit suicide to thank the countrymen.

The moment Jing Li's face turned white, Xiong Huai himself reacted, and suddenly cold sweat soaked the clothes behind him.

In the case of glaze and papermaking, it seems that there is really no profiteering point now.

However, fortunately, although I didn't think of this section before, I didn't plan to attack Yue Guo now, which is probably the so-called crooked fight, and the Ji people have their own natural appearance.

Seeing that the King of Chu was stunned for a moment, Dou You spoke again: "King, money is still secondary, the key is the artifact of the country that Qu Yuan has worked so hard to discover, but it can't make the Chu State take the first step to use it and enhance its strength to surpass other countries, but let other countries pick up a big bargain in vain, I'm afraid Qu Yuan will vomit blood and die." ”

"The state has an artifact, but there is no place for it, it's a pity!"

When Dou You said this, the ministers reacted.

Indeed, at this stage, it is important to easily strengthen the country with the flour plan.

As for the Yue Kingdom, this is our ally.

"King, my Chu State has always been to convince people with virtue, even in the face of Qi State, my Chu State is to break off diplomatic relations first, and then send troops, in the face of a small Yue State, why do I need to use sneak attacks, just fight in a dignified manner." Zhao Yu said lightly.

Jing Li continued: "Great King, what Sikong said is extremely true, and Yue is now our ally, and it is unreasonable for the two countries to suddenly start a war not long after the alliance was formed. ”

Jing Cui squirmed her lips when she saw this, but she didn't say anything after all.

Zhao Slip, who was at the back of the ministers, had to sigh slightly when he saw this, lamenting that the time was not good.

Xiong Huai saw that the ministers had reached an agreement, and said: "What Zhu Qing said is very true, Yue is an ally of our country, and now he is stopping the soldiers of Qi for the widow, and the widow is not in a hurry to thank him now, how can he send troops to attack Yue." ”

The ministers said in unison: "The king is wise. ”

Xiong Huai: "Hehe! ”

After the voice of the ministers fell, Zhao Ju walked out of his position and bowed for a long time: "The ministers risk death to speak, please forgive the king." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, and he didn't know what Zhao Ju was going to do at this time, so he said expressionlessly: "Xianqing has something to say." ”

"King Xie!" After Zhao Ju straightened his body, he slowly spoke: "The king, the Yue country is also a small country, the country is in chaos and the king of Yue does not want to govern, and the two major countries of Qi and Chu are bordered abroad, but they have offended Qi Chu by attacking Chu and attacking Qi, the so-called internal and external troubles, there is no country among the countries that surpasses the Yue country." ”

"Now God has given us the artifact of Chu, which is a symbol of our Chu State becoming more and more powerful, Chu State is getting stronger and stronger, and Yue State is getting weaker and weaker, this is the conscription of Yue Country to be condemned to the sky, and God wants to destroy Yue State, so I ask the king to make plans early, wait for the opportunity, follow the example of Qi State, and destroy Yue in one battle."

As soon as Zhao Ju's words fell, he heard a "poof" sound from Jing Carp, and let out a series of coughing sounds.

Except for Chen Zhen, the other ministers were all stunned by Zhao Ju's appalling remarks.

Just now you were still opposed to attacking the Yue Kingdom, and finally everyone reached a consensus that it was necessary to make good friends with the Yue Kingdom, and now you have proposed to prepare to attack the Yue Kingdom, and you still want to destroy the Yue Kingdom.

It's not a contradiction, but you've changed too quickly!

Jing Cui clenched the Yugui in her hand hard, took two deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the urge to refute Zhao Ju, and sat motionless.

Seeing that the ministers were all speechless, Zhao Hua couldn't help but say with anger in his words: "Wouldn't Sima not miss the opportunity and not come again!" If the Yue Kingdom controls the Huaibei Land externally and calms the Wu-Yue dispute internally, I don't know when the next opportunity to cut down Yue will come again. ”

"The general doesn't know, but I know." Zhao Ju said lightly.

Zhao Huaqiang smiled and said: "Forgive me for being stupid, please teach Sima." ”

Zhao Ju smiled and said nothing, ignoring Zhao Ju's questioning.

Xiong Huai asked curiously: "Sima, the widow is also very curious, I don't know when the next time to cut Yue will come." ”

Zhao Ju replied: "Great King, King Yue has been on the throne for thirty years, and King Yue's eldest son and second son are already full-fledged. ”

Xiong Huai suddenly realized when he heard this: "Yes, although we didn't seize the opportunity to cut Yue this time, but with the situation of Yue Country, the time for the next cut will come soon." ”

Seeing that the King of Chu was moved, Jing Li hurriedly persuaded him: "King, even if there is chaos like Yan in Yue, and even if our Chu State has the strength to destroy Yue, this matter still needs to be cautious. ”

Zhao Yu also said: "Great King, Ling Yin's words are very true, our Chu State is bigger than Qi State, and Yue Country is bigger than Yan State, if we weaken Yue State, it is good, if my Chu State annexes Yue State, other countries will definitely join forces to attack my Chu State." ”

Jing Cui swallowed his saliva and said disapprerovitically: "Ling Yin and Sikong are too careful, not to mention that the matter of our Chu State destroying Yue has not yet been seen, even if our Chu State annexes the Yue State, what can other countries do, Qin State is attacking our Chu State and we have Han Water to defend, and the Three Jin Dynasty can also hold Fang City when we come to attack us, as for the Qi State to attack, our Chu State can guard Huaishui." ”

Jing Li glared at Jing Cui, and said secretly: This guy is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, does he want to learn from Zhaoyang, and want to use his world-building skills to forcibly snatch my Ling Yin's position?
