Chapter 123: The impoverished court of the Chu State

Ling Yin, the general.

This is the pillar of the civil and military affairs of the Chu State, the head of the civil officials and the head of the military attachés, and they are the two people that it is impossible for the Lord Xiang to avoid in the Chu State.

Ling Yin Xiang he, the general Xiang Tuo, this is the most capable person in the Xiang clan except for Xiang Yu's father and son.

They not only represent the Xiang family, but also the mainstay of the Chu State court at this moment.

No matter how arrogant Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, could not ignore these two people, not to mention that if he wanted to fight against the Chu Di Shi clan, he needed to unite all forces.

Among them, Ling Yin Xiang and the general Xiang Tuo are undoubtedly the most suitable objects.

……

The thought flickered in his heart, and Xiang Tian looked at Xiang He and Xiang Tuo: "Ling Yin, you immediately go to count the number of vacant officials in various places, and you must ensure that it is accurate and true." ”

"No."

When Xiang He left, Xiang Tian then set his eyes on Xiang Tuo's body and muttered for a moment: "General, in addition to the 70,000 troops led by Gu to the south, how many troops are still there in Chudi?" ”

"How many of them are there to fight?"

Xiang Tian's question suddenly made the entire state hall quiet all of a sudden, and almost all of them looked at Xiang Tuo.

Because in troubled times, only a strong army can be the confidence of a country and a court.

……

This is a troubled time, a world of great controversy.

Xiang Tian has studied this era, and naturally knows that this era, led by the Great Qin Empire, is the most free-spirited and energetic golden age.

The rites collapsed, the clay kettle thundered, the high bank was the valley, and the deep valley was the mausoleum, which was an era of drastic changes.

This is also an era of great destruction, great creation, great sinking, and great rise and fall, which was filled in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in just three or four hundred years.

This era is also the transformation of Chinese civilization from bronze civilization to iron civilization.

At this time, the whole world has not yet faded away from the spirit of the times of all-round competition and strong survival bred by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The people of the Central Plains in this era, regardless of region, have a certain degree of flesh and blood, they are not afraid of difficulties, and dare to stretch out their swords and guns to any enemy.

Today's troubled times are actually a post-Warring States era, a world of great contention where all flesh and blood have contention.

……

Xiang Tian knew in his heart that because the existence of the Great Qin Empire was too short, the unification of the Central Plains and Kyushu was not stable, and in this vast and chaotic era, the old system collapsed and the old culture was destroyed.

It has had a huge impact on the land of the Central Plains.

With Chen She's voice of princely generals, Ning Youhu, so the world changed greatly, and the civilian slaves who were as humble as clay pots thundered and became restless, the high mountains collapsed, and the deep canyons actually rose into towering mountains.

When Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, divided the princes of the world, the whole world completely returned to the Warring States Period.

In the troubled times, the disputes of the major princes were no longer small fights, and finally evolved into big disputes, and began a thorough competition for strong survival.

The weak will perish, and the backward will be beaten, which has become an iron-blooded reality with almost no buffer, and the resulting competition for talent is naked and white-hot.

The incompetent mediocre talents were abandoned, the deaf monarchs were killed, the famous and the talented became the treasures of the world, and the Ming monarchs and heroes became the most beloved heroes.

In this era, there are many famous generals, great talents like clouds, and heroes are one after another.

Among them, Liu Ji, the king of Han, Han Xin, the king of Qi, and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, are the most eye-catching.

……

As soon as the thought turned in his heart, Xiang Tian suppressed the cranky thoughts in his heart, and he looked at the general Xiang Tuo, who was the protagonist at this time.

"Prince Yu, the army of Chu is basically the army hastily recruited after the king crossed the river, and a total of 100,000 troops were recruited at that time, after a battle with the king of Han and the king of Qi."

"At this time, the army of Chudi is less than 50,000!"

In the face of the general Xiang Tuo's answer, even if Xiang Tian had a guess in his heart, the result still made his heart half cold, which was too cruel.

"Whew!"

With a deep breath, Xiang Tian looked at Xiang Tuo and said, "General, is there any possibility of recruiting troops in Chudi again?" ”

"No, the last time the king conscripted troops, it has already caused a sharp reduction in the number of strong men in Chu, and it is absolutely impossible to recruit troops on a large scale again in a short period of time."

Xiang Tuo's words once again made Xiang Tian's expression embarrassed, there were only 120,000 troops in the entire Chu State, and 70,000 of them were led by him to the south.

The thought flickered in his heart, and at this moment, Xiang Tianfang understood what kind of state Chu Di had reached, and also understood why Xiang Yu would easily delegate power.

At this time, the state of Chu has reached the terrible point where it will destroy the country if it doesn't make a move, and it will destroy the clan if it makes a move.

"General, the 50,000 troops in Chudi, led by you and Xiang Sheng respectively, will be trained immediately, and the combat strength of the army will be restored as soon as possible."

"No."

At this moment, he only has 50,000 elites in his hands, and the 50,000 army in Chudi, he must firmly control it in his hands, and only in this way can he change the law and try to become strong in Chudi.

But Xiang Tian knew in his heart that this candidate could not be contradicted by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, so the people of the Qin Relics could not be used, and under his command, only Xiang Sheng was the most suitable.

Xiang Tian and the Chu Di Shi clan will have a fight, and there will inevitably be bloodshed at that time, once that time comes, whoever holds the army in his hands will have the ability to suppress everything.

Looking at Xiang Tuo and the others leaving, Xiang Tianhu's eyes were like knives, and he looked at Li Zuoche: "Zuoche, select a large number of candidates, wait until Ling Yin counts them, and according to the statistics out, send them to various places to serve as county lieutenants and county lieutenants." ”

"Nothing else, but every county, every county, their military power must be controlled in our hands, and this is a place where no one can touch it."

"Whoever dares to touch it, Lone will chop it up himself!"

At this moment, Xiang Tian was decisive in killing, and there was a kind of awe-inspiring domineering spirit that was not afraid of the people of the world.

"No."

Nodding in promise, Li Zuoche's heart was full of shock at this moment, it turned out that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, dared to openly buy officials, and he had already designed to wait here.

He knew in his heart that with the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant controlling the military power in various places, the position of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, would be as stable as Mount Tai at that time.

Not to mention the Chu Di Shi clan, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is helpless, and the most important thing is that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, not only solved the vacancy of officials, but also solved the vacancy of insufficient grain and grass in Chu State.

……

"Li Wentong!"

"Prince."

At this time, there were no superfluous people in the huge state hall, only Prince Chu and Li Wentong were left.

"No matter what way you think of to rapidly expand the scale of the vulture, you must cover the entire Chu State in the shortest possible time, and then infiltrate all countries."

……

Li Wentong knew in his heart that he had no room to resist at all, and at the same time, he also understood Xiang Tian's purpose of expanding the vulture.

"No."

Nodding in agreement, he walked towards the outside of the state hall, and after a while, he disappeared.
