There was a heated quarrel among the ministers of the state of Chu over whether or not to accept Korea's peace offer. The Zhao, Qu, Jing, and Mi clans occupied most of the court, and the positions they held were either prominent or noble, and even the king of Chu had to pay attention to their opinions. But this time, the four clans couldn't be aligned either.

Ling Yin Miliang, as a representative of the Mi clan, firmly believed that it was appropriate to destroy Yue. Yu Gong, the 80,000 main army of the Yue Kingdom has killed more than 30,000 people, and the remaining 50,000 people are cowering in the Juzhang area. In this way, the country can be destroyed. Huiji and Minyue can be passed on, and the Chu State will no longer be constrained.

Yu privately, most of the fiefdoms of the Mi clan are in Jiangbei, and a small part is in Jiujiang, if you don't listen to South Korea's Tiyì, once South Korea is annoyed and angry, then Jiangbei is likely to suffer. The Mi clan will lose a lot of benefits.

Jingyang has made great achievements this time, which can be described as a success. But if you can destroy the Yue Kingdom, it will inevitably be more important. Over the years, Xiang Cheng has been relied on by the King of Chu, and the Jing family naturally hopes that Jingyang can sit firmly in his position with the power of destroying the country. Therefore, the Jing clan did not agree with South Korea's request for Chu to withdraw its troops and let Yue Guo go.

Similarly, the Xiang clan was worried that Jingyang's contribution would be too great and affect Xiang Cheng's development, but they thought that the king of Chu should accept the king of Han's offer. At this time when the world is in turmoil, Chu does not have to be in a hurry to expose its ambitions, and when South Korea is exhausted and has no intention of looking south. It's not too late to send troops to attack.

The Qu clan considered the overall situation and believed that it was necessary to accept the Korean Tiyì. The essence of the Yue State has been occupied by the Chu State, and more importantly, the self-confidence of the Yue State that finally recovered was shattered by the Chu State. It is not easy to say how heavy the price of the state of Chu will be. On the contrary, it may be more appropriate to take the initiative to slow down, let the tense nerves of the Yue country relax, and then take the Yue country with lightning speed.

In this way, the Mi and Jing clans believed that they should take the Yue Kingdom in one go, ignoring the threat of Korea; The Xiang and Qu clans believe that South Korea's idea must be taken seriously, and for the sake of prudence, it will be slowed down. The matter of extinguishing Yue is slowed down.

This is difficult for the King of Chu, the King of Chu has never been a person who is good at weighing the pros and cons, if he wants to have fun and travel by car, his ideas may be endless, but when it comes to national affairs, the King of Chu is a little helpless.

Obeying the Han king's advice would be of the greatest benefit to the state of Chu. But King Chu always felt that this would make him seem afraid of King Han. After all. There is nothing wrong with yourself, the law of this era is the law of this era. If you go to attack Yue Guo by yourself, what does it matter to South Korea?! He only occupied two hundred miles of land in Yue Country with all his efforts, but South Korea occupied three two hundred miles of land at once. If it weren't for Jiujiang County, it was vast and sparsely populated. King Chu felt that he would be hurt even more!

The king of Chu even speculated with ill intentions whether the king of Han was bluffing. After all, he had already learned that Zhao sent 150,000 troops to attack Qin, and Yan sent 200,000 troops to attack Qi, and Qin and Qi were two allies of South Korea. Regardless of which one goes wrong, South Korea will have an even more formidable enemy. South Korea should focus on Yan and Zhao, rather than a petty fight of 100,000 people like itself. But this gorgeous adventure King Chu didn't dare to try, after all, the population base of Korea was placed there, which annoyed the King of Han, maybe King Han gathered a million more troops, divided into three routes, and rescued the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Vietnam. It's not like South Korea hasn't done such a thing, with the strength of one country to resist the million-strong army of four countries, the South Korean army has won, and now South Korea has three more allies, and the troops are more prosperous and more unafraid!

Zuotu Huang Xie saw the hesitation of the king of Chu, and offered advice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can have the right to let Yue Guo go. The country of Yue is already a turtle in the urn, and South Korea can protect the country for a while, but it can't save a lifetime! Luoyang is as long as 3,000 miles away from Huiji, and this so-called power is not enough! If we destroy the country of Vietnam with lightning speed and then block the news, it may take months for South Korea to learn the news! Now the top priority is the safety of Yingdu. ”

The king of Chu was a little relieved after hearing this, and he took the right to let go of Yue Guo, which can be regarded as selling the face of King Han. However, South Korea is also more than 500 miles away from Xuzhou, the closest to Huiji, and when and how Chu will destroy Yue is completely dependent on their own intentions. I ignored the fact that Jiujiang divided the Chu State into two!

"Jiujiang has been occupied by South Korea, and Yingdu has become an enclave, so it is not easy to save it!" King Chu said with annoyance.

Knowing that the Han army was so rapid or that Jiujiang was so vulnerable, the king of Chu said that he would not send troops to attack Yue. In vain, he gathered his army in Jiangbei and Yingdu, but in the end, South Korea found another way and took Jiujiang, which suddenly put Chu in a dilemma.

"As far as South Korea is concerned, Yingdu has become something in their pocket, and if they want to take it, I'm afraid it's easy!" Huang Xie pondered his tone and said.

The king of Chu nodded and admitted that he was blocked by Jiujiang County, and South Korea sent an army of 100,000 troops, but he could easily take Yingdu and hundreds of miles of land around it, and he couldn't come up with any practical way except to watch. When I moved the capital to Wu County, didn't I feel that Yingdu was facing the threat of Nanyang and Ba County, and once it was besieged by the superior forces of the Korean army, it would become a place of death, so I made the decision to move the capital? ! The danger of Yingdu was already within the expectation of the King of Chu, but it came so quickly that the State of Chu had no power to resist, which was still unexpected by the King of Chu.

Seeing that the King of Chu admitted, Huang Xie breathed a long sigh of relief and continued: "What South Korea needs is to save Qi and Qin. Why didn't the king ask the king of Han for a guarantee, so that the king of Han would give up attacking Yingdu, after all, we also have 50,000 troops near Yingdu, as long as we don't go out of the city to fight with the Han army, it will not be easy for the Han army to take these cities! It's a big deal, we just let the farmland outside the city go and stick to it! ”

"But what's the use of that?" The king of Chu was a little incomprehensible.

The land that has become an enclave is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. South Korea had plenty of time to use all kinds of tricks to take hundreds of miles of land near Yingdu at the lowest cost.

Huang Xie smiled slightly and explained: "There is a big difference in this! ”

"What's the difference?" King Chu asked.

"What South Korea lacks today is not land, not population, but development. If Korea is belligerent, why wait until after our Chu State invades Vietnam before sending troops? South Korea is probably the most reluctant country among all countries to participate in the war! With the power of South Korea, it will only take ten years, and the world will be unmatched, and even if all countries are united, they will never be the opponent of South Korea! The final outcome is just to let South Korea break through each and the world will return to South Korea! If we can get the promise of King Han that the Korean army will not attack Yingdu, and we will not take the initiative to provoke a war, then most of Korea will not be the enemy of our Chu State! If there is a big war between Korea and Zhao, we will even have the opportunity to take Jiujiang while South Korea is unprepared, so that Yingdu will return to the control of our Chu State! Huang Xie proposed his own proposal.

King Chu pondered for a moment and had to admit that this was the best way at the moment. Whether you want to admit it or not, trying to avoid conflict with South Korea and letting South Korea concentrate on dealing with Yan and Zhao in the north is the way to survive in line with the reality of Chu.

On the second day, the king of Chu summoned the Korean envoy Tang Ju and made his requests one by one, and Tang Ju agreed without a trace of hesitation. It's just that before leaving, Tang Ju once again asked the king of Chu whether to take the actual control area of the two countries as the dividing line, and the king of Chu did not know what he meant, and pointed out self-righteously that with the actual control area of yesterday as the dividing line, Tang Sui left with a smile.

It wasn't until half a month later that news came from Yingdu, informing the King of Chu that Korea had occupied Jingling, Jiangling, and Yiling before this, north of the river and south of Hanshui, and only one city left in Yingdu in the Chu State, that the King of Chu regretted it.

After Tang Ju left Wu County, he traveled all the way south and arrived at Juzhang County, the temporary capital of Yue Kingdom. At this time, Juzhang was surrounded by the Chu army on both sides, and the two armies fought, winning and losing each other, but due to the fall of the national capital, the Vietnamese army inevitably looked more tragic.

When Tang Ju met with the king of Yue and informed the king of Yue that the king of Han hoped that Chu and Yue would withdraw their troops, the king of Yue did not agree at first. In the eyes of King Yue, he suffered such a big loss, and South Korea, as an ally, should help Yue recover Huiji, and even capture Jiangdong all the way. No matter how bad it is, we must recover all the land south of Zhejiang!

If it weren't for the prime minister of Yue Guo to analyze the pros and cons for the king of Yue, and inform the king of Yue that Korea has no obligation to save Yue, and even once Yue Guo captures Jiangdong, then it will be when Han and Yue tear their faces, and the king of Yue will accompany him with a smile and change his attitude.

Of course, the king of Yue did not forget to bribe Tang Ju with a lot of money, adding fuel to the atrocities of the Chu army and his contempt for South Korea, and also complained about the difficulties of Yue Guo today, the core meaning is only one, Yue Guo is now in turmoil, and it will be gone if you are not careful, and you still need a lot of support from South Korea! If South Korea sits idly by and allows the Yue State to fall, the Chu State will sit big, and if it doesn't work, Qin and Qi will also be chilled!

Tang Ju heard a lot about this and said little, and only said before leaving that if Chu wanted to destroy Yue, it needed to seek the consent of South Korea, otherwise, South Korea would not let Chu go! This made the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom feel at ease. In order to boost morale, the king of Yue ordered people to release the news of the defeat of the Chu State and the loss of a large part of the country, so as to show that although the Yue State lost some land, the Chu State lost more, and the Chu State did not have to worry!
