On the river, the widow has the final say, and the heart-wrenching words of the King of Chu echoed in the main hall, deafening. Indeed, this sentence is also something that the ancestors of the Chu State wanted to achieve, but did not achieve. The state of Chu attacked and destroyed the state of Yue, and gained thousands of miles of territory from Wu Yue. On the great river, no country can threaten the state of Chu, and no country can shake the state of Chu.

The state of Chu will become the most powerful country.

When Zhaoyang heard this, his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

After Zhaoyang calmed down, he carefully figured out the tone and demeanor of King Chu when he spoke, and it was not a joke. However, the Yue State is also the second largest country on the Great River, after the Chu State. The country of Yue spans thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of generations, has strong troops, and the national strength is not weak. If the state of Chu sends troops to destroy the Yue, the country will also resist the whole country, and if the situation is a little careless, the destruction of the Yue will not be successful, but it will bring disaster to itself. Qi failed to destroy Yan, but damaged the national strength. The lessons brought by Qi people are profound and heavy.

Zhaoyang thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the Yue Kingdom has always had the foundation of the overlord, and we must be cautious when we destroy the Yue." ”

The king of Chu was silent when he heard this, and clapped his hands with his hands.

Guozhu Zhaohua walked out from behind and saluted: "Your Majesty, Ling Yin." ”

In the past few years, Zhao Slip has evaporated from the world, and there has been no news. Seeing each other in Chu Palace today, Zhaoyang was really surprised and asked, "Where have you been in the past few years?" ”

The Battle of Danyang and the Second World War severely shattered the dream of the King of Chu to become a strong country. The king of Chu learned from the pain and thought about the strategy of rejuvenating the country. The land of present-day Bashu has been controlled by the Qin State. The land of Shang Yu and Hanzhong also fell into the Qin State. The state of Chu could not break through to the west, and it was also blocked by the princes of the Central Plains to the north. The southward journey is a wilderness and miasma land, and it is useless to gain it. The king of Chu set his sights on the eastern power of Chu... Yue Guo.

The destruction of the Yue State can not only strengthen the territory of the Chu State, but also completely remove the hidden dangers brought by the Yue State. In the Second Central Plains War, the state of Chu simultaneously faced Han, Wei, Qinyue and Bashu, the land under the jurisdiction of Qin. The state of Chu was at war on all sides, and the battle line was stretched too long. In the battle of Lantian, the state of Chu was already victorious. However, the attack on Chu by Han, Wei and Yue was too fierce, and Chu lost a lot of territory. In order to solve the military troubles brought by the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Yue, the state of Chu was forced to conclude an alliance with the state of Qin.

The king looked at Zhaoyang, and then at Zhaohua, "Zhaohua was ordered by the widow to go to the Yue Kingdom. If you want to destroy the outnumbered, you must naturally fully understand the strength of your opponent. ”

Zhaoyang's eyes were faintly unhappy, "In the past few years, there has been no news of you." It turned out that you went to the country of Yue. ”

Zhao Slip arched his hand and said: "With the king's order, I dare not tell the truth, please forgive Yin." ”

Zhaoyang sighed: "Since it is the king's order, it should be so." ”

"Ling Yin, the matter of destroying Yue is very important. The less people know, the better. The King of Chu set his eyes on Zhao Slip again, "Zhao Slip told Ling Yin about the widow's conspiracy with you." ”

"Whoa." Zhao Slip told the whole story.

When Zhaoyang heard this, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, "King Wujiang of Yue has been in power for a long time, and the country of Yue has no internal and external troubles, and the country is strong." Viet Nam is a huge country, and we cannot destroy it in a single fight. Chu Yue is like fire and water, and it is difficult to stop it. Your Majesty, the matter of destroying Yue should also be considered in the long run. ”

Zhao Slip said disapprerovingly: "Yue seems to be powerful on the outside, but in fact it is vulnerable. We only need to defeat the main force of the Yue Kingdom in one battle. If the country does not need us to attack, it will be in chaos. The king, the ministers thought that it was feasible to destroy the Yue. ”

Zhaoyang asked, "How to destroy it." ”

Zhao Hua replied confidently: "If we want to take the land, we have to let Qi Yue fight." Let Qi help us reduce the strength of the Yue State. ”

Zhaoyang thought for a while and shook his head, "Qi Yue has always been friendly, how can they fight." ”

Zhao Slippery eyes looked at the king of Chu and replied, "It's up to the king." ”

The king of Chu spread out his hands and asked, "What can the widow do to destroy the Yue Kingdom." ”

Zhao said: "Please write a letter of state and send it to Yueguo." The content of the national letter says that we are willing to form an alliance with the Yue State, and then, we will attack the Qi State together. ”

King Chu felt that this was too simple, and said with a hesitant expression: "Alliance? Attack? Will King Yue be fooled? ”

Zhao Slip's eyes bloomed with bright eyes, and he said confidently: "King Yue has no borders, and he has always admired the hegemony of his ancestors. He also had the intention of marching into the Central Plains in his heart. Our country and Vietnam have formed an alliance and jointly attacked. King Yue will agree. ”

......

There are four warlike states, Qi in the east, Jin in the north, Chu in the south, and Yue in the southeast. Yue is located in the south of Ouyu Mountain, and the monarch is surnamed Ji. Its ancestor is the concubine of the Xia Dynasty monarch Shaokang, a direct descendant of Dayu. In 473 B.C., Goujian, the king of Yue, destroyed Wu, sent troops to cross the Huai River to the north, and allied with the princes of Qi and Jin in Xuzhou, becoming the princes.

However, no one thought that after Goujian, the king of Yue, destroyed Wu, went north to fight for hegemony, and became the prince and uncle, he returned to the land of Wu Yue and was never heard from again. Zhu Gou, the king of Yue, was the strongest and most prominent king in the country after Goujian, the king of Yue, and successively sent troops to destroy the Teng State, the Tan State and other countries, and shook the Central Plains. In order to compete for land and hegemony in the Surabaya Valley, the two countries of Chu and Yue fought in boats. The Yue and Chu kingdoms competed for supremacy without falling behind. After the death of Zhu Gou, the king of Yue, the country of Yue fell into the turmoil of the princes competing for the throne, and had no time to take care of the affairs of the Central Plains.

The Yue State did not enter the Central Plains and did not go to war with the Chu State. The Yue Kingdom was unknown for a hundred years, and gradually faded out of the sight of the princes of the Central Plains. Over time, the princes of the Central Plains also forgot that there was a powerful country in the southeast... Yue Guo.

The Yue State was the largest and most dangerous state to the east of the Chu State. Today's King Wujiang of Yue is the sixth grandson of King Goujian of Yue. After Wujiang succeeded to the throne, he pacified civil strife, stabilized national politics, admired the great cause of his ancestors, and also wanted to return to the glorious hegemony of his ancestors. In order to dominate the Central Plains and highlight the status of Yue as a powerful country, King Wujiang of Yue constantly fought with Qi and Chu.

During the Second Central Plains War, Yue joined a military alliance led by Qin and waged war against Chu and Qi. King Wu Jiang ignored a problem. That is, during the period when Yue Guo did not interfere in the Central Plains, the pattern of the world has changed greatly. Qi and Chu have grown. In particular, the state of Chu was able to fight against the northern princes with the strength of a single country.

When there is great chaos today, the princes are fighting against each other. At this time, the world is no longer the final word of the Yue Kingdom. The Chu people were overwhelmed, and they defeated Wu Yue's children in Duling and Xiajiang. This defeat also dealt a heavy blow to the ambition of King Yue. After a few years of recuperation, King Wujiang of Yue was unwilling to remain unknown. I don't want the great cause and glory of my ancestors to be lost and buried by him. The passion for the hegemony of the princes broke out again.

King Wujiang of Yue sent envoys to the Qin State and formed an alliance with it to balance the Chu State. Because the Yue State and the Chu State had fought each other, the King of Yue Wujiang also knew that he could not win the Chu State. So, he swung the long sword in his hand towards the Qi Kingdom. King Wu of Yue is ready to embark on the road of ancestor Yue Wang Goujian and go north to fight for hegemony.

Chu envoy Chen Zhen came to the Yue Kingdom and met the king of Yue Wujiang.

Seeing that the Chu envoy was not dressed like a martial artist, King Wujiang condescendingly asked: "In the past few years, there have been many wars between Chu and Yue. Chu envoy, when you come to Yueguo, you are not afraid that the widow will kill you. ”

Chen Zhen's face was not afraid, and he replied, "It is very easy for the king to kill me. The ministers are also afraid of death. ”

King Yue sneered: "If you are afraid of death, hurry back to the Chu State." The widow is not yet angry, so he will not kill you for the time being. ”

When the people of the hall heard this, they laughed loudly.

"The king doesn't want to know why the ministers came, and the ministers retreat." After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait." King Yue was aroused by his words and shouted, "Say it! Why are you here? ”

Chen Zhen stopped, still facing away from King Yue, "Your Majesty, if you are sincere, the foreign minister will say." Your Majesty, if you are not sincere, please allow the ministers to retire. ”

King Yue had never seen such a person who dared to contradict him, and shouted: "The temper of the widow is not good. ”

Chen Zhen turned around and arched his hand: "Foreign minister, I came to your country by order of the King of Chu to conclude peace between the two countries. ”

"Peace?" King Yue laughed when he heard this. After a while, King Yue's face gradually stiffened, and he asked, "That's how the matter of the Chu State seizing the land of the Yue State is settled." ”

"My king is willing to make peace with the country of Vietnam. Together, the two countries sent troops north to attack the state of Qi. Our country conquered the territory of Qi and gave it all to Yue. Chen Zhen saw that King Yue listened to what he said, "King Yue, you are satisfied." ”

King Yue asked, "Why did the widows attack the Qi Kingdom?" ”

"The princes of the Central Plains have always despised the Chu and Yue kingdoms, and they all said that the Chu and Yue kingdoms were wild lands. The king wants to restore the hegemony of the ancestors and compete for the princes. The foreign ministers felt that the king should attack the Qi state. Qi is the first power in the East. The king won the battle and the Qi country was the first power in the east. Do the princes of the world not agree with the king? Chen Zhen paused and said: "For hundreds of years, there has been no major battle between Chu and Yue. One is because of the harmony between Chu and Vietnam. Second, Chu and Yue are regarded as barbarians, who have the same fate and sympathy for each other, and should support each other. ”

King Wujiang of Yue didn't know much about the affairs of the Central Plains, and when he heard the words that Qi was the first powerful country in the East, he couldn't hold back the fanaticism in his heart, leaned forward, and asked, "Today, who is the strongest among the princes." ”

Chen Zhen did not hesitate at all, and threw out two words sonorously: "Qi country." ”

King Yue's boundless eyes were full of contempt, and his tone was also full of disdain", Qi is also worthy of being the first power in the East. The ancestors of the widows destroyed Wu and went north to fight for hegemony. The State of Qi did not dare to compete with it. The Yue State was reluctant to participate in the affairs of the Central Plains, and the Qi State was even called the first power. ”

Chen Zhen saw that there was no one in the eyes of King Yue, so he spoke and suppressed: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything. In less than 60 days, the country of Qi broke through the country of ten thousand times, and there was nothing in the world. The competitive division of Qi is invincible in the world. A few years ago, the Battle of Pushui. The state of Qin united with Han and Wei to fight the state of Qi on the edge of Pushui. The elite of Qi is in Yan country, not in the homeland. The three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei attacked the second-class competitive division of Qi with elite divisions and won a miserable victory. The state of Qi was able to resist the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei in the east with the strength of one country; The north can compete with Zhao in Yandi. The status of the first power in the East is worthy of its name. ”

"Hmph." King Wujiang of Yue was displeased when he heard this, the land of Qi, without the Yue Guoda, how could he become the first power in the East. King Yue Wujiang snorted heavily: "Okay, the widow will go to fight the Qi country." The widow wants to prove to the world that Yue Guo has returned. How could Qi be the first power in the East. ”
