Chu State, Yingdu Palace. At this time, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, was wearing simple Ge cloth clothes, and his hair was tied with a cloth scarf on his head, just like a country people.

The place where he lives every day is not the former dormitory, but a dilapidated palace in the deep palace that is rarely visited.

It is said to be a palace room, but in fact it is more like an ordinary firewood room. As far as the eye can see, there is dry firewood and straw.

Xiong Zhen deliberately put a bronze Changge on the straw pile, which served as a bed, and Changge was the pillow.

Xiong Zhen lies down with Changge every night, which means to wait for the day. Tomorrow when you leave early or return late, there will be a guard in charge of standing guard, who will question Xiong Zhen loudly, and said, "Xiong Zhen, have you forgotten the hatred of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family?" Whenever this happens, Xiong Zhen will reply with compassion: "Xiong Zhen dare not forget!" "Almost every day, Xiong Zhen spends his life like this.

He is determined to be angry and ready for revenge. But he was afraid that he was greedy for a comfortable life, and he would lose his ambition for revenge.

Since Yingdu was broken, the mountains and rivers of Chu were broken, and he was forced to pay tribute to Qingji, the hatred in Xiong Zhen's heart can be imagined.

Day and night, he didn't want to take revenge on Wu, regain the lost land, and be ashamed. As a result, Xiong Zhen, who has learned from the pain, already has the style of a virtuous monarch.

Not only is his style simple and not close to women, but he often leads by example, personally working in the field, hanging himself and asking orphans.

This made Xiong Zhen gain a lot of popularity for a while. The Chu people also supported Xiong Zhen even more. At this time, Xiong Zhen was in this dilapidated palace like a firewood room, and met with Ling Yin Zixi, Zuo Sima Shen Zhuliang, Mi Ji, and Shen Baoxu.

Seeing Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, who had undergone such a major change, Zixi, Shen Zhuliang and others were embarrassed in their hearts.

If Xiong Zhen in the past could have done such a thing, how could the Chu State be reduced to such a state today?

Fortunately, they believe that it is not too late to make amends. As long as Xiong Zhen can cheer up, forge ahead, for revenge, and for the sake of Zhongxing Chu State at all costs, Chu State will still have hope of making a comeback!

"Bitter! This courage is very hard! Xiong Zhen tasted the bitter gall hanging under the beams, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, your ministers are ashamed!" Zixi, Shen Zhuliang and others also looked ashamed.

After all, the state of Chu has become so decaying, not only because of Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, but also because of what they did

"Meat eaters" are also duty-bound.

"Second and third sons, the widow intends to revitalize my Chu State, defeat the Wu State, and be ashamed of the snow, why do you teach the widow?" Xiong Zhen respectfully asked the four people present, including Zixi and Shen Zhuliang, for advice.

Hearing this, Shen Zhuliang secretly thought for a moment, and then said: "King, if you use ordinary methods, the state of Chu will not be able to defeat the state of Wu. ”

"Wu Wang Qingji will never give me the time and opportunity for the revival of the Chu State."

"......," Xiong Zhen sighed, "This is what worries the widow the most. ”

"The momentum of Chu and Wu has been reversed, now Wu is strong and Chu is weak, Wu is eyeing on one side, lest it will attack Chu again in the near future, or wipe out our Chu State."

"What can I do?" Shen Zhuliang had already planned for the Chu State, so he replied: "The king, the high-flying bird, died of food; Fish in deep water, die of bait. ”

"If you want to deal with King Wu Qingji, naturally this is the truth, you must first find out King Wu's hobbies, and then do what he likes, and meet his requirements everywhere, in order to win the battle."

"Good!" Xiong Zhen bowed slightly, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "What is Qingji's favor?" ”

"King Wu is lustful, and everyone knows it." Shen Zhuliang said meaningfully: "This is a common disease that men can't avoid. ”

"Wu Wang Qingji is not a sage, nor is he a god, and he also has weaknesses. He succeeded to the throne for only eleven years, and he made Wu Guoxiong in the world and became a hegemon! ”

"How can it not swell? How can you not be stubborn and self-serving? If the former Shang King was like him, he had great martial arts skills, but after all, he would inevitably destroy the country and lead to self-immolation. "Shen Zhuliang actually compared King Shang with Qingji?

However, Di Xin and Qing Ji are indeed quite similar in some ways. Sometimes, the hero can make the country strong, but he can also make the country fall into the bottomless abyss, or even perish.

"Why do you teach widows?" Xiong Zhen asked curiously.

"The king is bent on crusading against the state of Wu and taking revenge, and the minister should offer nine tactics today to help the king!" Shen Zhuliang immediately took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Xiong Zhen to read.

Then, Shen Zhuliang said eloquently: "This is the Nine Techniques of Cutting Wu. ”

"First, the king should respect heaven and earth, and do ghosts and gods, in order to get the gods and ghosts to protect Dachu!"

"Second, send money and property to please the monarchs and ministers of Wu and please them!"

"Third, buy the corn of Wu at a high price to reduce the grain accumulation of Wu State!"

"Fourth, select beauties to serve King Wu, kill his fighting spirit, and make King Wu obsessed with beauty and ignore political affairs."

Fifth, select some skilled craftsmen and fine timber to help the Wu people build more luxurious palaces, so that Wu can build a large number of buildings, work the people and lose money, so as to weaken the financial resources of Wu State. At the same time, it ruined the popularity of King Wu. ”

"Sixth, send people who can speak well to the state of Wu, flatter the king of Wu, and disrupt the decision-making of the state of Wu with clever words, or bribe the traitorous ministers around the king of Wu to corrupt the government."

"Seventh, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu. The king could bribe Bo Gu or bring people into Wu, hoping that the monarchs and ministers of Wu would kill each other and cause civil strife. ”

"Eighth, Taoguang cultivates obscurity, accumulates national strength, and hoards a large number of weapons and baggage, thinking that it is needed in wartime!"

"Ninth, strong soldiers and horses, elite soldiers and simple administration, the king can hide troops in the mountains, so that the Wu people will not know."

"Color!" I heard what Shen Zhuliang Luo listed

"Nine Techniques of Cutting Wu", including Xiong Zhen, Zixi, Mi Ji, and Shen Baoxu couldn't help but applaud and agreed.

"King, master these nine techniques with your heart, even if you seize the world, it is not difficult, not to mention a Wu country, and the destruction of Wu is just around the corner!" The well-informed Shen Zhuliang knows very well - born in sorrow and died in peace.

Arrogant people often end up badly. Like the law of the jungle, even if a Menghu takes a nap from time to time and does not pay attention to the dangers around him, it will be easily cleaned up by hunters who have coveted it for a long time.

Xiong Zhen thought for a moment, and finally nodded solemnly: "What Qing said, the widow thinks so. ”

"It's easy to say that sending money and property to leave Wu people behind, but how can you separate the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of Wu State?" Xiong Zhen has grown.

He realized that among the nine techniques proposed by Shen Zhuliang to cut down Wu, this divisive plan was the most important.

"This ......" Shen Zhuliang pondered for a long time, but there was no reply after all. After all, although there are traitors in the Wu State, they may not necessarily obey their Chu people.

Although the money is good, Bo Yan has to live to enjoy it!

"King, the minister is willing to enter Wu!" Shen Baoxu said: "After the ministers enter Wu, they should live up to their mission and separate the monarchs and ministers of Wu!" ”

"Good!" Xiong Zhen pretended to be reluctant, with a choked tone in his tone, grabbed Shen Baoxu's arm and said, "Shen Qing, widow...... The future of the Chu State is entrusted to you! ”23shu8*net
