The King of Chu looked at Xiong Xun.

Xiong Xun immediately stepped forward and asked angrily: "Colleagues, you want to force the palace!" ”

Zhao Cen looked at Xiong Xun sincerely: "We have no intention of forcing the palace." ”

"However, the bandits have gathered more than 30,000 groups in Chaocheng today, if my Da Chu still ignores them, over time, there will be more and more bandits!"

"When the thieves gather more than 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands, I will have no luck!"

Zhao Cen bowed to the King of Chu: "Please again!" ”

"With grain and grass as a fund, we will find an alliance with Qin and strike troops for a truce."

"Immediately order the army to return to the dynasty and wipe out the bandits!"

All the courtiers shouted in unison: "Please put the overall situation first!" ”

The side effects of the king of Chu being responsible for clearing out the foreigners and officials from the common people, and leaving only the children of the nobles to serve as officials in the court were vividly shown at this moment.

Except for a few dozen courtiers who remained silent, a full house of courtiers forced the palace together!

Judging from the scene, the king of Chu fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Whether it was due to the pressure of the nobles of the Chu State or the pressure of the courtiers, the king of Chu had to follow the proposal of Zhaocen and others.

The king of Chu sighed regretfully: "The widow is very disappointed in you! ”

Zhao Cen and other courtiers were indifferent to the words of the king of Chu.

There are more kings of Chu who are disappointed in us.

You're the oldest!

Jing Huan and the other Jing clan's disciples looked at the King of Chu's gaze, which was even more dangerous.

They have already killed two kings of Chu.

If the king of Chu is stubborn, they don't mind killing another king of Chu!

The king of Chu asked in a deep voice: "When the class teacher returns to the dynasty, can the dilemma faced by my Great Chu be solved?" ”

"Lobbying the King of Qin with money and food, will the King of Qin definitely withdraw from the army?"

"The world's ridiculous!"

Qu He said in a deep voice without flinching: "I am willing to give it a try!" ”

"If you can't say that the king of Qin has withdrawn from the army, then please ask the king to take the head of the minister!"

"As for pacifying the domestic turmoil, the minister believes in Shangzhu State."

Qu He stook his life!

Because in Qu He's view, this task is actually very simple.

Even if Chu did not send money and grain, Qin would most likely agree to a truce in order to concentrate on dealing with Zhao.

If the State of Chu is willing to give away the most urgently needed grain and grass in the Qin State, the State of Qin may agree to come down on the same day!

Even if the King of Qin was resentful of the Chu State because of his repeated betrayal of the alliance and was determined to fight, Qu He still had a card to play.

Xiong Qi!

As long as he secretly promised to support Xiong Qi to succeed to the throne of Chu, Qu He believed that Xiong Qi would definitely be willing to help Chu lobby for King Qin.

The ministers looked at Qu He with a little more admiration, and then bowed their hands without hesitation:

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Under the repeated persecution of the ministers, the situation of the king of Chu seems to be becoming more and more difficult.

But the king of Chu did not panic at all, and his eyes at the ministers became more and more dissatisfied: "The widow is very disappointed in you!" ”

Hearing King Chu say these words again, many courtiers frowned obviously.

Is it because the bearer is floating or we can't lift the knife?

You don't want to see the sun tomorrow, do you?

Qu He asked directly: "Could it be that the ministers should support the king to ignore the domestic chaos and continue to fight a war with Qin that has no chance of winning, so that the king can not be disappointed in the ministers?" ”

"The minister can't do it!"

"The minister is definitely not the kind of courtier who is willing to welcome him!"

The king of Chu reprimanded angrily: "You are not a minister, you are all stupid ministers!" ”

"Jin Han and Wei are dead!"

"If my Great Chu and Qin make a truce, then Qin or the whale swallows Zhao soil, and in the future, which country can join forces with my Great Chu to attack Qin?"

"Not a single one!"

"I, Da Chu, will definitely face a growing Qin State alone!"

"At that time, I will not be able to survive! How can the people of my Great Chu exist! ”

Those who can stand in the court, there are no stupid people.

They are all clear about the truth of cold lips and teeth!

All the courtiers knew very well that for the current state of Chu, even if it was in the face of turmoil in the rear, paying a certain price, and not getting the slightest benefit, it should continue to fight with Qin.

The state of Chu should assist the state of Zhao to weaken the state of Qin, so as not to face an invincible opponent in the future, and at least to protect the state of Zhao, so that the state of Chu will not have to face the state of Qin alone in the future.

But for them, as nobles, safeguarding the interests of the family is far more important than safeguarding the interests of the Chu State.

If you indulge the thieves to attack their food and weaken their strength.

A hundred years later, the Chu State may still be able to exist, but their family is probably already gone!

The voice of the king of Chu became more and more angry: "You are not only a stupid minister, but also a ruthless minister!" ”

"At present, there are tens of thousands of rebel troops in my Dachu territory, and they are still skyrocketing."

"When the truce between Chu and Qin is reached, the army will be in charge, and the chaotic army in my Great Chu may reach more than 100,000!"

"Even if my Great Chu soldiers are brave, how many soldiers' lives do they need to pay to quell the turmoil?"

"That's the elite of the people! They are the people of every people! It's the root of my Dachu! ”

"The widow can't bear to see them die in battle, how can you sit back and watch them be killed by a group of bandits!"

Courtiers:???

Some of the courtiers were stunned.

Listening to the meaning of the words of the king of Chu, it is better to go back to the division to quell the rebellion or for the sake of these nobles?

But compared to this 'kindness', they care more about food!

Zhao Cen said in a deep voice: "If it is for the sake of the officers and soldiers in the army, my Da Chu should withdraw the army as soon as possible!" ”

"The minister knows that the king is benevolent, but the minister advises the king not to sit back and watch my people of Dachu being attacked and disturbed by bandits because of the benevolence of a thought!"

Xiong Xun suddenly spoke: "This official thinks that what the king said is very true!" ”

"Now that the division is returning to the court, it is a big disadvantage!"

"Instead of making my Great Chu soldiers fight with their lives against the thieves' army, it is better to Zhao'an some elite thief army."

"A strategy to drive away the wolf!"

The king of Chu bowed his head with satisfaction: "Xiong Hou is dying, very good!" ”

"Such an admonition is the advice of the few people!"

Some courtiers' eyes lit up: "This strategy is wonderful!" ”

"No wonder the king said that the ministers were dull and ruthless, compared with this strategy, we are not wise to admonish the truth!"

"If this strategy is implemented, not only can we quickly pull up an army of bandits and avoid the rapid expansion of bandits, but also allow the front-line soldiers to kill the enemy with peace of mind, not to destroy the current situation, and to avoid the death and injury of the common people and soldiers, why not!"

"It's me who misunderstood the king!"

One strategy, the best of all three!

The interests of the king of Chu and the nobles were once again aligned.

The killing intent in the eyes of many courtiers has turned into a deep sense of shame.

We were planning to kill the king and set up a new king, but the king was thinking about us everywhere.

I'm waiting, damn it!

However, Zhao Cen's eyes were condensed.

Wrong!

Zhao Cen knew very well that Xiong Xun was the hunting dog of the King of Chu, and Xiong Xun's advice was undoubtedly from the command of the King of Chu.

But would the king of Chu be so kind?

A person who takes the initiative to unite with the nobles to kill the king and ascend the throne will really become the loyal dog of the nobles, and even take the initiative to think about it for the interests of the nobles?

Zhao Cen said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks it's not appropriate! ”

"Thieves and bandits are all guilty!"

"If my Great Chu only forgives his sins because he has caused greater turmoil, or even uses his title and official position to make an edict, this is a blasphemy against my Great Chu's law, and it is an insult to the common people who keep to themselves."

"In the past, my Great Chu Zhao'an was just choosing two or three bandit leaders, and the impact was not great."

"But if this case is widespread, I am afraid that there will be more common people and servants who have no objection, but take the initiative to become thieves in order to seek peace of mind!"

"It's really poisoning the future for the sake of peace!"

Although he still couldn't figure out where the pit was, Zhao Cen instinctively rejected the proposal.

Xiong Xun replied without hesitation: "After clearing the domestic bandits, let these Zhao'an thieves go to the Qinchu battlefield." ”

"Everyone in the world knows that the Qin army is brave, and these thieves of Zhao'an are not as good as my Great Chu soldiers, and it is natural that they all died under the sword of the Qin army."

Rao is Zhaocen couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

This trick is ruthless enough to kill people with a knife!

It's beautiful enough, too!

If this strategy can be implemented safely, not only will not the Chu army need to lose a single soldier, but it will even be able to squeeze out the full value of the bandits in the territory!

However, Zhaocen was still quite vigilant: "Xiong Hou is dying, who should go to Zhao'an?" ”

"After Zhao'an, how should these bandits be subordinated?"

Xiong Xun said in a deep voice: "This official thinks that Dachu is in a hurry today, and he can't be rigid in his actions. ”

"All courtiers and ordinary people can be envoys to lobby Zhao'an bandits."

"However, even in a time of emergency, you can't act without rules."

"According to the bandits' strength, grain and grass, and the area occupied, I should formulate a set of corresponding Zhao'an rules."

"The more troops and the more cities and villages occupied, the higher the title and official position."

"All bandits are commanded by the highest official of Zhao'an."

Zhao Cen refused: "No! ”

"If this army is controlled by the bandits who have been Zhao'an, this army may surrender and rebel at any time!"

Xiong Xun frowned slightly: "What is Zhao Lingyin's opinion?" ”

Zhao Cen groaned slightly, and gave his own appeal: "Who is Zhao'an, who is the leader, who is responsible!" ”

"If any thieves come down and rebel, they will also be guilty of the person in charge of Zhao'an!"

It sounds like Zhao Cen is emphasizing the division of responsibilities, and has added a tight spell to everyone who has the heart to Zhao'an bandits.

But in fact, Zhaocen's move divided the unified Zhao'an army into the private soldiers of various clans!

Xiong Xun said angrily: "Zhao Ling Yin's admonition is not for the country, but for the people's personal interests!" ”

"Zhao Ling Yin Ke still remembers that you are not only the patriarch of the Zhao clan, but also my Great Chu Ling Yin Hu!"

The king of Chu suddenly spoke: "The people of Great Chu are the cornerstone of my Great Chu and the pillars of my Great Chu. ”

"If the people are rich, they will be rich."

"If the people are stable, then Dachu is stable."

"There is nothing wrong with working for the benefit of the people."

Listening to the words of the King of Chu, even Zhao Cen was in a trance.

If his advice is really allowed, then this Zhao'an policy will undoubtedly greatly enhance the military strength of the major clans.

Could it be that the king of Chu is really thinking about the nobles of Chu everywhere?

Xiong Xunjiao said: "But ......"

The king of Chu waved his hand: "Left and right, in the end, these thief armies who were Zhao'an will fill the battlefield of Qin and Chu and kill them with the blade of the Qin army." ”

"It doesn't matter who it belongs to."

"Just according to Zhao Lingyin's words!"

"But ......"

A 'but' caused the hearts of the nobles to rise again.

The king of Chu continued: "The Shangzhu State has suffered a lot of losses, but Qin Chang'an Jun is fierce and brave. ”

"Now that the domestic predicament has been solved, the widow intends to raise troops again to aid the Shangzhu State."

"What do you think?"

The courtiers looked at each other.

That's it?

The king has thought so much about us and other people, and the rest of his thoughts are also for the victory of this battle, how can we have no return!

And on the premise that their inherent interests are protected, why don't they want to earn more benefits?

Most of the courtiers bowed their hands in unison: "Ministers, I am willing to fight for Da Chu!" ”

Although Zhao Cen, Qu He and others still had the heart to refuse, but seeing that the ministers had all agreed, they themselves couldn't think of the trap for a while, so they could only keep silent.

The king of Chu laughed heartily: "Good! Very good! ”

"I, the Great Chu monarch and ministers, will win this battle!"

"All Aiqing should prepare a piece of music as soon as possible and improve this strategy!"

Many courtiers threw up their hands: "Only! ”

After the ministers dispersed, the king of Chu asked in a low voice: "Have you written it down?" ”
