Chapter 870: Chu State's Response

Chudi, Huiji.

Xiang Ji, no, should be called Di Xin, sat on the throne, looked at the many ministers and generals in front of him, and said casually: "The spies came to report, Liu Ji, the king of Han, took the dragon and was the commander, sent 100,000 troops, and was preparing to cross the river to attack Chu. ”

"Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, with a monk as the main commander, sent 80,000 troops, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed Jingxiang, bypassed Yuzhang, and was menacing. ”

"At the moment of the great enemy, do you have a good way to deal with it?"

A military general with five big and three rough immediately came out and responded: "King Qiqi, as the so-called soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth, the last general thinks that the most important thing at present is to transfer troops and send generals to fight with one." ”

"Zhong Li is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to defeat the enemy and share the worries of the king. ”

As soon as Zhong Li's words came out, all the generals in the hall responded: "The last general is willing to lead the army to fight off the invading enemy, and share the worries for the king and the state of Chu." ”

Di Xin's face was undeniable, his eyes fell on the person standing at the front of the main hall, and asked, "Does the military advisor have a good plan?"

Fan Zeng, who was full of silver hair and was full of energy, replied: "Back to the king, the generals are reasonable, and at this time, you should arrange a large army to meet the enemy as soon as possible." ”

"In addition, we should find out the reasons why the Han State and South Vietnam sent troops to attack Chu as soon as possible, and make responses. ”

Zhong Liwu shouted when he heard this: "What is there to check here, the struggle for domination of the world is a life-and-death struggle, since they dare to hit the door, it is necessary for us to eliminate them, no matter what he is for?"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "General Zhongli's words are wrong, as far as I know, the strength of Han and South Vietnam is not weaker than that of Chu, and now Han and South Vietnam have joined forces to attack Chu, and Chu is fighting on both sides, and the army is scattered, and it is congenitally disadvantaged." ”

"Although the king is wise and powerful, the generals are brave and abnormal, and the soldiers of Chu are united and not afraid of a war, but they can continue to fight for a long time, and the consumption of national strength will be much greater than that of Han and Nanyue, and the situation will be very bad. ”

"Therefore, it is very important to find out the cause, it is very likely to be related to the life and death of the Chu State, and it must not be ignored. ”

Zhong Li's face was not very good-looking, and said: "What can we do to find out the reason? Can we make them retreat without a fight? In the end, we don't have to rely on our own strength to beat them away?"

Fan Zeng said with a straight face: "Of course it's different, Chu State and Han and Yue have always had no grievances and no enemies, but now they are being attacked by the two countries, and there must be some special reason for this." ”

"If we know the real reason why the two countries are attacking Chu, we can prescribe the right medicine, eliminate the hostility of the two countries towards Chu, and solve the crisis faced by Chu in one fell swoop. ”

Zhong Liwu said with an unkind face: "The last general listened to it for a long time, how did he think that the military advisor seemed to be saying that the strength of the Chu State was not good and could not resist the attack of the Han State and South Vietnam, so in order to avoid suffering, we had to find out the reason, so as to compromise and seek peace?"

Fan Zeng flatly denied it: "No, I just think that the national strength is damaged for no reason, which is not conducive to the king's struggle for hegemony in the world, and things must be clarified, so as not to be confused and fight with the two countries." ”

Zhong Li said angrily: "The military division is obviously afraid, obviously there is no soldier and no battle, the military division concludes that Chu is not the opponent of Nanyue and Han, and here he grows other people's ambition and destroys his own prestige." ”

Fan Zeng's eyes flashed with annoyance when he heard this, and he said indifferently: "This army is from an orthodox family, and I don't know how many times I can beat you in terms of the art of war, and it is even more difficult for you to shoot in terms of strategy and strategic vision." You can't understand the plan of this military division, I don't blame you. ”

Zhong Li said angrily when he heard this: "You look down on me?" First Chinese Network

At this time, Di Xin suddenly interjected: "If the two countries are just to destroy the Chu State and divide the land and people of the Chu State, what does the military advisor think the Chu State should do?"

Fan Zeng replied decisively: "If it is divided into four points today, the territory of West Qin is the largest and the strongest, if the two countries attack Chu this time, it will be difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat in a short time, and the state of Chu cannot consume the two countries, so the minister dares to ask the king to ask for help from West Qin." ”

"If necessary, the king can agree to some of the demands made by Western Qin in exchange for Western Qin sending troops to rescue the Chu State. ”

Before Di Xin could speak, Zhong Liwu jumped up on the spot and pointed at Fan Zeng and scolded: "Old thief, you dare to curse the Chu State, and you speak for Xi Qin like this, are you taking the benefits of Xi Qin?"

Fan Zeng glanced at Zhong Li, didn't even bother to answer, just bowed to Di Xin and said, "The old minister is loyal to the king and the state of Chu, and he also asks the king to know the truth." ”

Zhong Liwu followed with a salute and said: "King, there is something wrong with this Fan Zeng, and I also ask the king to order a thorough investigation of this person, and the general will suspect him of colluding with foreign enemies." ”

"Once the state of Chu asks for help from Western Qin, the king will lose face, and the last general will be willing to die on the battlefield for the state of Chu, and must not suffer such humiliation. ”

Fan Zeng said coldly: "If you die so that the king and the state of Chu can survive this catastrophe unharmed, and you don't need to die on the battlefield, this army division will do it." ”

Zhong Li said angrily: "You ......"

Di Xin said with an indifferent face: "Zhongli, you shut up, the national teacher is just planning for the worst, there is no malice, and you must not be rude." ”

"Strategist, you seem to have guessed something, why don't you just say it?"

Fan Zeng smiled bitterly and said: "The 100,000 Han army set off from Qidi, went all the way south, and crossed the river directly from Tongzhou. The 80,000 South Vietnamese troops went all the way to the east, disdainful of the land of Jingxiang and Yuzhang, and pointed directly at Huiji. ”

According to this posture, it is not a war for land and population, but more like a country to be destroyed at any cost. ”

"The king still remembers what the Tongtian Sword Lord said, Liu Ji's backer is Confucianism, and Zhao Tuo's backer is Buddhism, presumably this time the two countries are on the orders of Buddhism and Confucianism, and they want to be unfavorable to the king and the Chu State. ”

"Buddhism and Confucianism are as strong as clouds, and the old ministers really don't have much confidence to compete with them, so they will persuade the king to put down his body when necessary and seek the assistance of Western Qin. ”

"In this special period, a sword master as strong as Tongtian can't interfere too much in the world, only if Western Qin sends troops, the state of Chu will not easily fall into the country. ”

Di Xin touched his chin and thought about it, and said: "The real reason why the two countries attacked the Chu State, the Lone Association will arrange someone to investigate, and there is no hurry to ask for help, first discuss who to send troops to fight." ”

Fan Zeng's face suddenly showed an eager look and said: "King, the matter of asking for help should not be delayed, Western Qin will dispatch troops, and it will take time for the two sides to negotiate." ”

Zhong Liwu, who was standing on the side, heard this and couldn't help but say: "The king is free to decide, if the military advisor is afraid, he can find a hole to hide......

Di Xin glanced at Zhong Liwu coldly, and the latter immediately swallowed back the words on his lips and didn't dare to say more.

Di Xin Fang said coldly: "Pass on the order of Gu, with Fan Zeng as the main general and Cao Zhou Yin as the deputy, leading 100,000 Chu troops to meet the South Vietnamese army. Lone relatives led an army of 30,000 to meet the Han army. ”
