After all, Shen Yinshu is still the great-grandson of King Chu Zhuang in the final analysis, a descendant of the Miao of the Chu State, and a generation of famous generals with outstanding military achievements, who is quite famous in the Chu State and has excellent popularity!

In addition, Shen Zhuliang himself is also a young man who became famous at a young age and was pinned on by the Chu people.

Therefore, Meng Huan thought about it left and right, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still felt that Shen Zhuliang was not to be blamed, and Shen Yinshu was not held accountable for the crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country!

The coffin where Shen Yinshu's body was located sent by the Wu people had also been buried outside the capital and hastily buried.

"Shen Zhuliang asked to send reinforcements to Qianyi, in order to defeat the invading Wu army, I don't know if the second and third sons think so?"

Meng Huan did not choose to be arbitrary, but asked a group of ministers and doctors to discuss together.

Hearing this, the ministers under His Majesty all exchanged their heads and whispered.

After a while, Ling Yin Nangwa was the first to come out and said: "The king, the prince, the ministers think that they can't make a big move anymore and reinforce Qianyi." There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Qianyi, and the soldiers are good enough to garrison Qianyi! ”

"And Shen Zhuliang's proposal to increase the troops, in a hurry, how many soldiers and horses does the Chu State have to reinforce Qianyi?"

"The Wu army is brutal and invincible for the time being, and his father Shen Yinshu led a crowd of 80,000 people, and all of them were folded in Wu, not to mention Shen Zhuliang? It is not easy for him to stick to Qianyi, why is he greedy for merit? ”

After a pause, Nangwa said again: "Besides, if the Wu army does not attack Qianyi, it will definitely be tired and weak, and it will retreat on its own, so why should my Chu State lose its troops and add more vegetarian food to every household?" ”

"Ling Yin's meaning, isn't it for the Chu State to give up Shudi and the cities along the river?"

Zixi was very dissatisfied with this assertion of Nangwa.

"Not really."

Nangwa shook his head and said, "This Ling Yin just thinks that the Chu State must not be in a hurry for quick success!" The Wu army couldn't attack Qianyi for a long time, and when they were poor, when they collapsed without a fight, how could they gain a firm foothold in Shudi? ”

"When the time is ripe, wouldn't it be wonderful that our Chu State will gather a large army again, defeat the Wu army in one fell swoop, and recover the lost territory?"

As soon as he heard this, the ministers and doctors in the court couldn't help but bow their heads slightly and agreed.

It's best to be able to surrender without a fight!

It can minimize the casualties of the Chu army and reduce the loss of the Chu State in the war, which is very good!

After all, whenever the state of Chu was at war with the outside world, the feudal lords in various places would send troops, and they had to respond to the call of the king of Chu.

Everyone has money to pay, and someone has to pay!

If it is defeated, it is fine, but once defeated, the soldiers, horses, money and food of the feudal monarchs will be like a waste, and they will not get any benefits.

How can this allow them to do such a thankless task?

"What Ling Yin said!"

Zixi glared and scolded: "Don't you know that the soldiers are fast? Fighter planes are fleeting! If you don't take advantage of the fact that Wu's army is weak, you will extinguish the invading enemy in one fell swoop. ”

"In time, Wu will send additional reinforcements, and Chu and Wu will fight for life and death, so how can Chu deal with itself at that time?"

"Shen Gongzi's words are wrong!"

Nangwa sneered and said: "Chu is a big country, the country of the overlord, it is 80,000 lost teachers, how can it be compared to the mere Wu country?" ”

"Now the Wu army of Chu is only poor, and the spirit is still strong, but Shen Gongzi instigated the king and the country's soldiers to fight, and let the soldiers bleed for their lives in vain, what is the reason?"

"You!"

Zixi said hatefully: "Ling Yin, the national strength of Chu and Wu is naturally not the same. However, the Wu army is fierce and has been fighting with our Chu army for many years, often winning more with less, winning more and losing less, how can it not be worried? ”

"King, Kokuta!"

Zixi turned around again and said to Xiong Zhen and Meng Huan on the top of the majestic platform: "The minister has already found out that the Wu army of Chu is only 20,000 people. My Chu country is up and down, and with the strength of the country, at least I can use more than 100,000 soldiers and horses! ”

"However, there is no need for 100,000, the minister believes that with Shen Zhuliang's ability, more than 10,000 additional people can also be used to drag down the Wu army, so as to break the Wu army and turn defeat into victory!"

Hearing this, Meng Huan couldn't help but bow slightly.

Compared with Ling Yin Nangwa, in fact, Meng Huan would rather believe in Zixi in his mind!

Gai Factor Xi is a real righteous gentleman, a generation of famous ministers with the style of ancient sages!

Zixi is the concubine of the late King Chuping and the elder brother of Xiong Zhen.

When the king of Chu Ping was born, the ministers of Chu led by Nangwa wanted to support the elder Zixi as the king of Chu, but Zixi sternly refused!

It's just because he doesn't want the Chu State to be chaotic again!

Zixi, who is so high-spirited and bright, is undoubtedly very prestigious in the minds of the Chu people.

Therefore, Meng Huan was also very grateful to Zixi, and named him a pillar country and a left disciple, and he was placed side by side with Ling Yin Nangwa to run the state affairs together.

"Humph!"

Nangwa snorted coldly, glared at Zixi and said, "Shen Gongzi, as you said, it is not difficult to increase the number of troops to Qianyi by more than 10,000 people. However, how can you ensure that Shen Zhuliang will not be defeated by the Wu army and repeat the mistakes of his father Shen Yinshu? ”

"Or, how dare you guarantee that the Wu State will not increase its troops again?"

Hearing this, Zixi smiled calmly and said, "I believe in Shen Zhuliang's ability, and I am willing to vouch for him with my life!" If Shen Zhuliang is defeated, I, Xiong Shen, am willing to apologize with death! ”

"As for the increase of troops in the state of Wu? No way! ”

Zixi said loudly: "The Wu army has fought many battles, the domestic people's livelihood is withering, and the water is dire, and the national strength has already been hollowed out!" No matter how dull Wu Wang Qingji is, it is impossible to increase his troops and attack Chu regardless of everything! ”

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers and doctors couldn't help but nod their heads.

Nangwa was also stumped by Zixi, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Guotai Meng Huan immediately clapped his head and said: "In this case, we will recruit troops in the neighboring cities of Juchao, Jifu, and Ying, and reinforce Qianyi as soon as possible." All the grain and grass consumed in the war are all from the government! ”

"Kokutai is wise!"

Seeing that Meng Huan had already made a ruling, the ministers immediately agreed.

At the same time, Qingji, who was far away in Wudu, also received Sun Ping's recital, and he hesitated for a while.

Sun Ping only asked Qingji to increase his troops before, but now he thinks that the Wu army is no longer capable of fighting, and asks Qingji to withdraw his troops and negotiate peace with Chu!

At this moment, it was really difficult for Qingji to accept.

He locked himself up in the Zide Hall for half a day, never making up his mind.

As a last resort, Qingji could only summon his three confidant ministers, Ji Za, Sun Wu and Bo Tuo, to the Zide Hall for discussion!

"King, withdraw your troops and negotiate peace with Yu Chu!"

Ji Zha sighed and said, "The king should not seek the Chu land west of the river at this time. Like Shu Di, sometimes to Wu, sometimes to Chu, swaying, the feudal monarch of the land is a group of people who are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, the first rat at both ends! ”

"If you see the defeat of the Wu army, I am afraid that a counterattack will strike at me and put my Wu division in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen."

"King, think twice!"

Ji Za has always been the main peace faction, so it is no longer surprising that Qing Ji has long been afraid of his assertion.
