Zhao Hua explained: "The king, the homeland of the Yue country is in Huiji, and the homeland of the Wu country is in Wu, after the king of Yue Goujian destroyed Wu, he moved the capital to Langya, during this period, the rebellion of the Wu people is not a big problem for the Yue country, and it is enough to send troops to suppress it." ”

However, since the frequent internal strife in the Yue Kingdom, the Wu people began to appear in the government of the Yue Kingdom. Especially after the Yue State moved the capital from Langya to Wu, the local Wu people were very strong in the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and quickly emerged in the government of the Yue Kingdom, and began to grasp power. ”

"Today, the strength of the Wu people in the Yue country is not small, if it weren't for the Yue people and even the Yue king who have been guarding against the Wu people, I am afraid that the Wu people have already appeared in power in the Yue dynasty."

Xiong Huai nodded: "That is to say, after the Yue Kingdom moved the capital to Gusu City, the dispute between Wu and Yue within the Yue Kingdom has been intensified. ”

"Exactly." Zhao Hua paused and continued: "Great King, the dispute between the two parties of the Wu people and the Yue people is not a big problem for the Yue Kingdom, what really confuses the Yue Kingdom is the dispute between the eldest son of the Yue King, Gongzi Yu, and the second son, Gongzi. ”

"King Yue has been indecisive for a long time in the selection of the crown prince, Gongzi Yu has a natural advantage in righteousness as the eldest son, and should have been supported by the Yue people, but the king of Yue prefers the second son, and many Yue people have realized the meaning of the king of Yue, and they have fallen to the hoof of Gongzi. And Gongziyu was unwilling to sit still, and a large group of Wu people were entangled around him, and the two were-for-tat, and disputes continued. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that King Yue held most of the military power, maybe someone would follow the example of his predecessors and kill the monarch now."

Xiong Huai's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and the cold air behind him was rising.

"The widow heard that the country has four chaos, and after the merger, the two governments, and the coupling of the country, once one of these four situations occurs in a country, there will be great chaos in the country."

"Now the eldest son of King Yue is equal to the status of the second son, this is the concubine. And once the Yue people are unable to suppress the Wu people in the capital, I am afraid that there will be a situation where there will be two ministers and leaders in the country who are fighting separately, which is the second government. ”

"Now in this world of constant wars, if there is a kind of turmoil in a country, there is a risk of defeat and destruction, not to mention that there are two major turmoil in Vietnam, and Vietnam is really dangerous."

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Hua with his eyes and asked, "Xianqing, you have been in contact with King Yue for several months, what do you think of King Yue and his person?" ”

Zhao Hua recalled the scenes of contact with King Yue in the past few months, and then replied: "Back to the king, King Yue is greedy for fame and fortune, although he is not enterprising, but he is still qualified as the king of success. ”

"Oh! How so? Xiong Huai asked.

"The King." Zhao Hua replied: "Since the king of Yue accepted the bribe of King Zhao ten years ago, the country of Yue has harassed my state of Chu for ten years, and the two countries of Chu and Yue can be said to be feuding, but after the state of Qi destroyed Yan, the two countries of Chu and Yue can quickly reconcile and form an alliance, and the king of Yue can get close to the minister of Weichen, this is not only the king's foresight, but also the king of Yue can see the overall situation clearly and quickly adjust the national policy of the Yue country." ”

"The dispute between Wu and Yue within the Yue Kingdom has been going on for a long time, and it has little to do with the King of Yue, and the reason why the dispute between Wu and Yue has a tendency to rot in the hands of the King of Yue is because this dispute is mixed with the dispute for the throne of the Yue Kingdom."

"But even so, King Yue always holds most of the power of the Yue Kingdom, if nothing else, in a few years, Gongzi Yu's power will be further weakened by the King of Yue, and then the internal strife of the Yue Kingdom will come to an end, and the Yue Kingdom will also stabilize."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiong Huai's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "In other words, King Yue can defend the Yue Kingdom!" ”

Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "Great King, although King Yue is a king who keeps the success, it is still difficult for King Yue to defend the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Oh." Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Hua curiously and asked, "Please tell Xianqing a little bit more." ”

Zhao Hua arched his hand and said: "King, Weichen, please use the Teng State that has just died as an example, Teng Wengong is a famous virtuous monarch in the world, and there are also a lot of famous ministers under him, Teng Guo is rich and the people are strong, it stands to reason that such a country is enough to protect itself with fifty miles of land." ”

"But the truth is just the opposite, just over two months, during the Qi-Yue War, our Chu State was destroyed by a Song State without interference. Therefore, the survival of the country has nothing to do with the wisdom of the king, the meritocracy of the ministers, or the prosperity of the country, but the strength of the country. ”

Xiong Huai nodded involuntarily when he heard this.

When I first heard that the Song State was fighting Teng, I also thought that with the kings and sages of the Teng State and the wealth of the country and the strength of the people, at least I could hard-resist the Song State for several months, but the result was unexpected, and the Teng State, which was united as one, only lasted for more than two months under the full attack of the Song State and perished.

The fall of the state of Teng was not only the fall of the state of Teng, but also showed one thing, that is, Mencius's set was also bankrupt.

In these years, what emperor is domineering, big fists are the last word, and everything else is empty.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "Although what Xianqing said is reasonable, Teng Guo is too small, and it is difficult to compare with Yue Guo. ”

Zhao Hua paused, looked at the King of Chu and said, "Great King, if you think that Teng is small, please explain it with Qi State, which is alongside our Chu State." ”

"The country of Qi is also a big country, and the king of Qi is also a generation of virtuous monarchs, whether it is marrying Zhong Wuyan or advocating thrift in the country of Qi before, it shows the wisdom of the king of Qi. And the Jixia School Palace, which was vigorously developed by the King of Qi, gathered more than half of the great sages in the world, but the Qi State made a mistake in decision-making, and it was also defeated, and even the King of Qi could not hold the State of Qi, not to mention the King of Yue, who was far inferior to the King of Qi, and the Yue Kingdom, which was also far inferior to the State of Qi. ”

Hearing Zhao Hua's example, Xiong Huai also thought of the previous Chu State.

When Wu and Chu were at war before, Chu was strong and Wu was weak, when Chu had a virtuous king Zhao on the throne, so that Yin Zixi was also a generation of virtuous ministers, although he was taking the blame for King Ping, but the result was that Chu even lost the capital, if it wasn't for Qin to send troops to rescue, Yue attacked the rear of Wu in the back, Chu might have perished.

Therefore, now that wars are frequent, there is no reason to talk about wars, and civil strife will lead to the destruction of the country, and the small country will also lose the country.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhao Hua expressionlessly and said, "Xianqing means that my Chu State can attack the Yue Kingdom." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hua's heart beat violently twice, and he bowed and said: "King, the national strength of Yue is far inferior to my Chu State, and now there is chaos within Yue State, and Yue Country has newly acquired the Huaibei Land of Qi State, and the main force is stationed in Huaibei Land, and now is a good opportunity to attack Yue Kingdom." ”

"If we win a battle, our Chu army will go down the river, the capital of Yue will not be guaranteed, and the homeland of Wu will be owned by my Chu State, and the Yue State will return to the homeland of Yue State, and a poor and weak Yue State will no longer be a problem for my Chu State."

Xiong Huai was silent for a long time, sighed a pity, shook his head and refused: "Sun Ziyun: Knowing oneself and knowing oneself, one hundred battles will not be defeated, knowing oneself and not knowing oneself, winning and losing half, the same principle knows that one does not know oneself, and the winner is half, and the widow is powerless." ”
