As soon as Xiong Huai's voice fell, all the ministers looked at Zhuang Ji, their eyes were very complicated. Today, he made three suggestions in front of the king of Chu, and as a result, the king of Chu adopted them all.

Especially Jing Cui, looking at Zhuang Ji's heavy face, it seemed that Qu Yuan's shadow had been discovered from Zhuang Ji's body.

In the past, Qu Yuan, the son of the down-and-out prince, was the first time he met the king of Chu, and most of the suggestions he made were adopted by the king of Chu, and in just a few years, he was promoted by the king of Chu from a white-clothed disciple to a left disciple, and was cultivated as the heir of Ling Yin.

Although Qu Yuan was talented, he could not threaten the Jing family.

And this Zhuang Ji is completely different from Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan is more proficient in domestic and foreign affairs, and this Zhuang Ji is now a general.

Thinking about it, Jing Cui glanced at Jing Yang, who was in shock, and her mood became even heavier.

On the other side, Xiong Huai saw that Zhuang Ji had no other suggestions, so he nodded and smiled at Zhuang Ji, and after Zhuang Ji retreated, he immediately ordered: "Spread the edict, all the officials who are still alive in the city of Shandao will be retained, and from the Yue people in the city who are willing to take refuge in my Chu State, select their good ones, make up for the officials in the city, and let the officials prepare to recruit the people to build a mausoleum for the king of Yue and the king of Huaibei."

In addition, the various units of our Chu army began to rest outside the city, preparing to go south to Huainan. ”

"Yui."

After the edict was issued, Xiong Huai left a thousand Chu troops to guard Shandao City, and then led the army out of the city and returned to the Chu camp.

City.

When the Yue people saw that the Chu people had only emptied the treasury in the city, and had not committed any offense to the people, they withdrew their troops from the city, and their hearts were suddenly relieved.

Then, I saw that the officials in the original city, as long as they were still alive, whether they were dissatisfied with the Chu people or whether they had different intentions, all of them were retained, and sages were also selected from the Yue people to supplement the officials. After discovering that the people who ruled him were still Yueren, the people in the city, whether rich or poor, had a hanging heart, and finally landed.

For most ordinary people, what they are most looking forward to is stability, and what the Chu State has done is exactly what they are most looking forward to after a big war.

For them, it seems, nothing has changed!

In the afternoon of the same day, after the city of Shandao was broken, the first decree issued by the government was to recruit the people to build a mausoleum for King Yue and Wang Xing.

Seeing this, although the Yue people still had some mustard for the orders of the Chu people in their hearts, after all, they were also building a tomb for the king of Yue, and they were doing their last bit of care for the king of Yue and the king, so the people in the city did not resist.

At sunset, Shandao City recruited more than 1,000 Yue people out of the city, plus 2,000 troops to dig a grave for the king of Yue overnight.

Next.

Xiong Huai led the army to the mausoleum prepared by the Chu people for the king of Yue, and under the awe of the surrounding Yue people, he walked to the wooden coffin of the king of Yue, smelled the smell of rotting corpses, saw the last face of the king of Yue, and then retreated, and ordered Chen Zhen on his side: "Close the coffin." ”

"Yui." Chen Zhen responded.

Subsequently, a group of Yue people stepped forward to close the coffin of King Yue.

Although the funeral of King Yue was simple, there was no exquisite copper coffin, and there was no exquisite pattern carved on the coffin, but it was still buried according to the etiquette of the king. After the Yue people closed the coffin, they put a nine-layer wooden coffin on the coffin, so that the king of Yue could enjoy the treatment of the king of a great country and the son of heaven.

In this regard, Xiong Huai did not stop it, anyway, now the kings of all countries are doing this, and there is no need to be angry with the dead.

After the coffin of the king of Yue was placed in the main tomb, a group of Yue people then put the nine largest tripods in Shandao City into the tomb.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai glanced at the surrounding Yue people, and then spoke: "King Yue is the king, and the burial things should not be too shabby, but in a hurry, it is difficult to find suitable burial things." Therefore, the widow decided to use the items used by the widow in his daily life as the funeral goods of the king of Yue, so that the king of Yue could also enjoy the king's things underground. ”

After Xiong Huai finished speaking, Chen Zhen immediately asked people to bring the daily utensils of the King of Chu that had been prepared a long time ago, and then placed them in the tomb of King Yue.

Seeing this, the surrounding Yue people originally thought that the funeral goods of King Yue were too shabby, and they could not even compare with the monarchs of ordinary small countries, but now, with the utensils used by King Chu put into the tomb, they are finally barely worthy of the identity of King Yue.

At this time, a Yue man who was working hard to bury the king of Yue, saw this scene, and immediately bowed to Xiong Huai with tears in his eyes: "The king is benevolent and righteous, and the minister Cao Yu thanks the king for his generous gift." ”

Seeing this, the surrounding Yue people bowed to Xiong Huai and said, "The king is benevolent..."

Xiong Huai's face was expressionless, but he secretly complained in his heart: Yesterday, the widow did not dispose of you because of your resistance, and retained your official position, as a result, the widow waited for half the night, and no one came to thank you. Now, when the widow buries the king of Yue, you will weep and thank each other excitedly.

This...

Xiong Huai sighed in his heart that his calculation had succeeded, but he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Thinking about it, he waved his hand, and then led the crowd towards the Good Dao City.

There, it is the place where Gongsun Hai is canonized.

In the city, Xiong Huai, under the witness of many Yue people, officially canonized Gongsun Hai as Yuan Jun, and sealed a piece of land in the south of the Yangtze River with a size of fifty miles to Gongsun Hai, and then issued an edict to give a banquet. Then, Xiong Huai left Gongsun Hai in the city to accept the congratulations of the Yue people, and then led the crowd back to Chuying.

Not long after returning to the Chu camp, someone came to report: "King, there is a Yue man outside the camp who claims to be the commander of the county and asks to see him. ”

"The county order of the county?" Xiong Huai was stunned, and glanced at Chen Zhen on the side, revealing a look of great joy.

The prefectural order asks to see, this is... Toucheng is coming.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately responded: "Please." ”

"No."

Soon, Xiong Huai saw a kind-faced Yue man come in and salute and said, "The minister ordered Cao Yu to meet the king." ”

Xiong Huai was familiar with this person, and when he heard him call himself Cao Yu, he immediately reacted, isn't this the Yue person who was the first to salute him next to the tomb of King Yue not long ago.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but say: "Cao Qing, before the tomb of King Yue today, the widow and Qing should have seen it, right?" ”

When Cao Yu heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "The king is discerning, but today's minister and the king have a relationship. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then glanced at Cao Yu, although he was looking forward to it in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile: "I don't know why Cao Qing is asking to see the widow at this time?" ”

Cao Yu bowed and said: "The minister has come to ask for surrender, and he is willing to lead the county to surrender to the state of Chu, under the rule of the king, and let the king fall." ”

Xiong Huai showed a knowing smile when he heard this, Cao Yu's coming and surrender was a good start, indicating that the resistance of the Yue State to the Chu State had been eased, and he was willing to take the initiative to vote.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately spoke: "Xianqing came to vote, the widow's heart was overjoyed, please hurry up, you don't have to be so polite." ”

After Cao Yu got up, Xiong Huai looked at him and asked hesitantly: "Cao Qing, as far as the widow knows, the county is far away in the north of Huaibei, far away from here, why is Qing here and takes the initiative to surrender to the widow?" ”
