Chapter 818: Chu State's Decision
On May 26, the capital of Ying, the state of Chu.
This is the sixth year since Xiong Jun's coup, and after several years of purges, the voices that opposed him in the first place have disappeared.
But because of this, the state of Chu has been busy with infighting in recent years, so it has let go of the attack on the state of Wu, so that the state of Wu has a chance to breathe.
Xiong Jun didn't understand the pros and cons, but Tian Yuwen had a lesson in front of him, which made him determined to master the court.
Therefore, even if this will give Wu Guo a chance to repair, Xiong Jun also admits it.
And today, Xiong Jun held a military meeting again, wanting to finalize the military strategy of the next Chu army.
In fact, Xiong Jun had plans for Chu Jun's arrangement, but there was opposition to this matter, and this voice was not small.
Xiong Jun purged the court, but the group of people who oppose him now are among the people who support him on the throne.
Xiong Junke can't be brutal to these generals and ministers who hold military power, he must persuade them through military discussions.
In the main hall, when Xiong Jun sat down, the generals and ministers present saluted him and said, "Meet your majesty!" ”
Xiong Jun said in a deep voice: "It's all exempt!" ”
The ministers then stood up, and then faced the king respectfully.
Although there were differences in military strategy, the minister had no opinion on Xiong Jun himself, so they were still thoughtful in terms of etiquette.
"In the past few months, some of you have said that you will destroy Wu and resist Wei, and some people will say that you will attack Wei and save Qi ......"
Everyone present knew the purpose of the monarch's military discussion today, so after hearing Xiong Jun's words, the ministers began to think about how to deal with it.
"Now that it has dragged on for almost two months, the two sides have been arguing and arguing, causing the army at the front to patrol uncertainly......"
"Now is the critical period of the great powers' conquest, but we are wasting time in the court...... Do you really have to wait for the Wei people to come over before you can make a decision? ”
Xiong Jun's irrepressible anger could be felt by everyone present, and they also tasted the monarch's opinion.
The meaning of Xiong Jun's words is clearly to support Va Wei, but more than half of the people support Va Wu.
For these people, there are tangible benefits to cutting Wu, and the results are very fast.
But this is not the case with the expedition to Wei in the north, when the allied armies of all countries attacked Wei State, it has been like this for decades, but how much benefit did Chu get from it?
After Xiong Jun finished speaking, he asked the courtiers below to express their opinions one by one, and soon these people were divided into two factions.
The two sides refused to give in to each other as usual, and the fierce debate suddenly caused the hall to clamour, but Xiong Jun did not show any anger on his face.
Among the kings of the nations, he looked down on Qi Jun Tian Yuwen the most, and he couldn't look down on the other party's small temperament.
He was able to calmly look at the differences between the courtiers and his own...... So Xiong Jun can stay calm.
Just as the courtiers continued to argue, Xiong Jun suddenly spoke: "Ten years ago, when the widow went to Shangluo to attend the funeral of Zhou Wangzhao, it was the first time the widow saw Wei Wuji......
Ten years ago, and it was between the monarch and the Marquis of Wei, the courtiers quieted down at once, waiting for Xiong Jun to continue.
Then, Xiong Jun continued: "Wei Wuji, you have only seen him...... Only then did I know what a terrible person the other party was! ”
"He is a man with great ambitions, although he was still a powerless son at that time, but the widow could see at that time that ten years later, only I will divide the world equally with Wei State!"
Saying this, Xiong Jun stood up, walked to a marked map, and pointed to Wei Guodao, whose sphere of influence had covered the north of the Great River: "Look at it, ten years have passed...... Did Wei Wuji do it? ”
"In just ten years, how many princes has Wei Wuji exterminated? Qin ...... Tang Guo...... Zheng Guo......"
"And what about my Chu State?"
Speaking of this, Xiong Jun pointed to the courtiers below who supported Wu and said, "Wei Wuji spent ten years stealing half of Shenzhou, what if he was given another ten years?" ”
"When the Wei State invaded Qin, the Qi State was busy with internal fighting to cause today's disaster...... And now, the State of Qi is in danger of overturning, is it possible that I, the State of Chu, will also stand by and watch, and then repeat the mistakes of the State of Qi? ”
"When Wei Wuji's million-strong army comes over, even if we have already destroyed the Wu State by then, will we be able to resist it at that time?"
Walking down the steps, Xiong Jun came to the courtiers, and then asked sharply: "You also want your wives and children to become the playthings of the Wei soldiers?" ”
Seeing that the king was so angry, the courtiers ...... Especially those courtiers who supported the war against Wu bowed their heads at this time.
But don't think that these people are convinced, they don't want to face Xiong Jun's anger.
Seeing that these people didn't speak, Xiong Jun was really angry at this time, not the anger shown on Fang Cai's face.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Xiong Jun asked.
The courtiers who supported the war on Wu still didn't speak, they had their reasons for supporting the war on Wu, and it wasn't that they could change it if they said they could change it.
There is no way, Xiong Jun can only decide at this time to use his monarch's authority to forcibly agree to the opinions of the DPRK and China, this matter can no longer be delayed, and a decision must be made as soon as possible.
At this moment, a scribe outside the main hall approached quickly, holding an urgent report in his hand.
This is not uncommon in the Chu Palace, because every day there are urgent deliveries from all over the Chu Kingdom into the palace.
When Xiong Jun was about to have a showdown with the courtiers, this urgent report was sent into the main hall and came to him.
Looking at the contents of the report, Xiong Jun's anger gradually disappeared, and the whole person was shrouded in fear.
"The Wei people have crossed the river...... Xiong Jun muttered, not wanting to believe it was true.
The courtiers below didn't know what to do, so someone asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”
Xiong Jun was in no mood to get angry now, so he threw the urgent report to the chamberlain, and then sent it to the courtiers to see.
When the ministers learned that the Wei army had broken through the river, a certain string in their hearts suddenly broke, and panic arose.
When the Wei people were still fighting against the Qi State on the north bank of the Great River, everyone present felt that the threat of the Wei State was relatively far away.
But when the Wei people crossed the river, these courtiers knew that the Qi State was not far from being abolished, and the best result was to retain half of the river soil like the Qin State.
"Your Majesty, this ...... How's that okay?" A minister who supported Vat Wu said in fear.
Xiong Jun glanced at him, and then said, "Yan Qing...... Do you still advocate continuing to fight Wu? ”
At this time, who would dare to say such a thing.
Regardless of the current situation or the attitude of the monarch, it will only be a wrong decision, and no one will be stupid at this time.
The great threat of the Wei people existed in the hearts of the northern princes, and it was also in the hearts of the Chu people.
Wei Wuji's personal ruthless style made many great clans in the Chu State wake up in the middle of the night, for fear that the heads of those princes who were destroyed by the Wei State would be cut off.
"The minister is confused, please punish the ......"
Xiong Jun didn't have time to cure anyone's sins at this time, so he stood up and said to the ministers below: "Zhuqing, the Qi country can't collapse, so the widow decides...... Immediately dispatch 200,000 troops from the Jinyuan camp, the North Ma camp, and the Jiayan camp to the north to help the Qi State fight against the Wei State! ”
If you don't move, as soon as you make a move, an army of 200,000 will be dispatched, which shocks the courtiers present.
They deeply realized that the reigning monarch Xiong Jun is very different from his father, this is a real lord in troubled times, and the Chu State, which is in the midst of princes, needs such a monarch.
"Your Majesty!"
Under the great threat posed by the Wei State, the courtiers of the Chu State finally unified one piece, and they could devote themselves wholeheartedly to the suppression of the Wei State.
