"Since you think that the old man's plan is inappropriate, I don't know what you think?" Zhuang Xin asked rhetorically. Yan Jingcha, Song Yu and others were speechless for a moment.

You ask them to write lyrics, play the piano and drums, and they are very good at it. But let them deal with state affairs, forget it.

The old man heard that the two doctors often lamented the unfairness of fate, and they did not meet their talents, so they could only rely on their resignation and affection for the landscape. Today, the old man assured the two that as long as the two could offer better strategies for the Chu State, they would help the Chu State pacify Jiangdong. The old man worked hard, and he wanted to let the two marquis be kings. Zhuang Xin's beard trembled, and he pursued the victory.

Jing Cha, Song Yu and the others turned pale, lowered their heads, their hands trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

They forgot that even the fierce Qin people had no way to take Zhuang Xin, how could they make Zhuang Xin retreat half a step.

However, although Zhuang Xin made everyone speechless, the king of Chu did not immediately nod in agreement. The reason for the concubine is very simple, there are too many places in one county, and he is reluctant.

And Jingcha's worries are not without reason, Jiangdong is the hometown of Yueguo, it is difficult to say whether the people there will miss Yueguo, in case Yueguo really takes this opportunity to gain a foothold, then Chu is really stealing chickens and rice.

As a friend and minister of the King of Chu, Huang Xie saw the hesitation of the King of Chu, so he got up and said: "Today, the Yue Jun is ambitious, and he has famous ministers under his command to assist, and Jiangdong County has a vast area, and if it is all given to the Yue Kingdom, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster." ”

"Yes, the widow is also worried." The King of Chu said again and again.

"Great King, it is precisely because of the vast area of Jiangdong County, which can not only accommodate all the Yue people, but also make it impossible for the Yue Kingdom to completely subdue the people in a short period of time, so that Jiangdong is sent to the Yue Kingdom. If the place is small, the Yue country quickly subdues the people, which is a big trouble for our Chu country. Zhuang said bitterly.

Xiong Wan still didn't speak, the soil of the Taihu Plain in Jiangdong was fertile, and the Chu State migrated the displaced people and built water conservancy, and finally made a little improvement, and reluctantly turned the Taihu Plain into half a granary.

The cavalry of the Chu State can all count on the Taihu Plains to keep it. It is true that what Zhuang Xin said makes sense, if you want to destroy the Yue Kingdom, the best way is to use Jiangdong County to attract the Yue people.

The Yue people who left the mountains could only be slaughtered by the Chu people. But it is now impossible for the state of Chu to give up Jiangdong.

"If the king is unwilling to give Jiangdong County to Yue Guo, then more than 20 cities on both sides of Zhejiang, such as Huiji, Yin, and Xun, will be sent to Yue Guo." Seeing that the King of Chu had not spoken for a long time, Zhuang Xin said helplessly.

He knew very well that the plains on both sides of Zhejiang were not very large, and the Yue people could retreat to the mountains behind them at any time.

At that time, even if the Chu State could defeat the Yue State, it would be difficult to leave all the Yue people behind. But the king of Chu did not agree to give the entire Jiangdong County to the Yue Kingdom, and he had no choice.

Concubine

"Okay, this matter is left to Yang Lingjun with full responsibility. I don't know how long it will take to destroy the Yue Kingdom? Xiong Wan finally nodded.

"If you don't destroy the Yue Kingdom for three years, please punish the sin of the king." Zhuang Xin solemnly bowed and saluted, but there was some loss and helplessness on his aging face.

His original plan was to keep the Yue people in the state of Chu forever. The state of Chu is vast and sparsely populated, and if you can use Jiangdong County as bait, it will take several years to incorporate hundreds of thousands of Yue people into the state of Chu.

For the state of Chu, it is no less than one more county. However, although the king of Chu was ambitious, he lacked courage and was reluctant to use the entire Jiangdong as bait.

Now, it is impossible to keep all the Yue people in the Chu State, and they can only stay as much as they can. ...... To say that the most apprehensive at this time is still King Yue.

He followed the advice of Wen Shi and announced the restoration of the country, but did not send troops, wanting to attract the army of Chu to the mountains and defeat the Chu state with the help of the mountainous location, so as to achieve the goal of 'exhaustion'.

At that time, the Yue State can take advantage of the emptiness of the Chu State and send troops to recapture the homeland of the Yue State. However, the king of Yue waited left and right, not only did not wait for the news that Chu sent troops, but waited for an old man.

The Yue State is not like other countries, it has been driven by the Chu State to run everywhere over the years, fighting around internally, and also running everywhere, and there is not even a fixed capital.

Wherever the monarch goes, there is the capital. Yan Zhuang Xin trekked all the way through mountains and rivers, inquired around, and finally came to the place where the Yue people lived.

The Yue people saw that Zhuang Xin only had an old man and two retinues, and would not pose a threat to the Yue Kingdom, so they brought Zhuang Xin to the king of Yue.

When Zhuang Xin met King Yue, King Yue was planting vegetables on the hillside. The king of Yue in front of him does not look like the king of a country, but like an old peasant.

He wore a hat to shade the sun, a rough kudzu coat on his body, and straw sandals on his feet. From his dark skin and skillful movements, it can be seen that King Yue is not a show, but really cultivates the land every day to grow vegetables.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Xin did not laugh at King Yue, but his face was full of solemnity, and he thought of King Yue Goujian!

Gou Jian was like this back then, eating the vegetables she grows, wearing the cloth woven by her wife, enduring humiliation, working hard, and achieving hegemony.

The current King of Yue may not have done a good job in Goujian, and he has a city government without Goujian, but he already has the shadow of the ancestor Goujian.

Zhuang Xin silently promoted King Yue to the position of the enemy of Chu in his heart.

"What is my husband looking for me?" When King Yue saw Zhuang Xin, he put down his farm work, walked to the stream next to him to wash his body, and wiped the water off his face before walking in front of Zhuang Xin and said respectfully.

"Zhuang Xin, the envoy of the State of Chu, pays a visit to the king." Zhuang Xin saluted.

"Envoy of Chu State...... "King Yue's figure was stunned, he was also a person who had seen the world, but he still didn't expect that the old man in front of him would be the envoy of Chu State.

What he didn't expect was that the State of Chu not only did not send troops to attack him, but also gave him territory! Concubine

"You...... Did the messenger say...... The state of Chu intends to give the land on both sides of Zhejiang to me in the country of Yue? In the dilapidated palace of King Yue enclosed by a fence, King Yue said in disbelief.

"Not bad." Zhuang Xin smiled and looked peaceful, like an old god who was cheating.

"In the past, the state of Wu invaded our state of Chu and captured the capital of Ying. After the king of Yue, Gou Jian, destroyed Wu, and it can be regarded as avenging my Chu State. Therefore, I, the State of Chu, have always been very grateful to the State of Yue. ”

"After the death of Gou Jian, the rivers of the Yue country are declining, and there is no longer the majesty of the former overlord, and my Chu State is deeply saddened, and then the king of Yue is mediocre and incompetent, causing the people to flee. I, the state of Chu, could not bear to be in dire straits, so I entered Jiangdong. ”

"However, the first king said that Jiangdong and my Chu State are only in charge of the Yue Kingdom, and when Ming Jun is born among the descendants of the Yue King in the future, the Chu State needs to return Jiangdong to the Yue Kingdom."

"Therefore, when I learned that the king of Chu had returned to the country, the monarch was overjoyed, and the ministers were excited, and everyone rushed to tell each other, saying that when the Ming monarch was born, he immediately sent his ministers to return more than 20 cities on both sides of Zhejiang, such as Huiji, Yin, and Xun, to the Chu State."
