Chapter 22: The Weight of the Gun

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Emperor Chu opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Xu Aiqing is a little restless, the prince naturally has his opinions, and you just listen to it." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Zhiqiu didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly retreated.

Chu Mo sneered, and then continued: "My method is very simple! My father only needs to give Zhao Ning and Zhao Zheng a letter to each of them, stating that this is Zhao Guo's family matter, and we can't send troops to intervene, but we can sell them some weapons, which can be regarded as support, as for what Zhao Guo will become, that's their business!"

After Chu Mo finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned, secretly thinking about whether Chu Mo's plan was feasible.

At this moment, Xu Zhiqiu frowned, thought about it, and stood up again.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!"

Seeing Emperor Chu nodding, he retorted: "Your Highness's plan is indeed feasible! It's just that if the news is revealed, won't Zhao Ning and Zhao Zheng have to turn against our Zhao State?"

"What's more, just selling some weapons, it's like sending them away, isn't it too whimsical? If Zhao Guo refuses to give up and sends people to borrow troops again, how should he deal with it when the time comes?"

Xu Zhiqiu is reasonable, so it seems that this plan is really not feasible?

Everyone looked at Chu Mo subconsciously, expecting him to give an answer.

Even Emperor Chu is the same.

He didn't speak, just to see how exquisite Chu Mo's mind was.

After all, the answers on the proofreading answer sheet are only the tip of the iceberg.

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Mo was still indifferent.

"Then according to Lord Xu's meaning, do you want my Chu State to send troops to help one of them?"

Xu Zhiqiu nodded as a matter of course, and said with a righteous expression: "That's natural, Chu and Zhao have been allied for a long time, and now that Zhao is in turmoil, if our Chu State does not send troops, how can it be justified?"

The ministers on both sides nodded lightly, this is also their idea, this time it is imperative for the Chu State to send troops to assist the Zhao State.

As for which side to help, there has been an endless debate.

However, Chu Mo suddenly smiled coldly, and his laughter was full of mockery.

"Rules? What kind of rules are these? When other countries rebel, why do you sacrifice the soldiers of my Chu State in vain? Lord Xu, you really cost the wealth of my Chu State and the anger of his country!"

As Chu Mo spoke, he must have buttoned down his big hat again.

Xu Zhiqiu's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to speak directly.

After only a few words, he was already speechless by Chu Mo.

If he continues to argue, he may be charged with a bigger crime!

Just that sentence of "Kang Taguo's anger" has made Xu Zhiqiu and the ministers on both sides understand in their hearts that the current prince is no longer the stupid prince he was at the beginning.

The stupid prince in the past was ignorant, so that no one in the Manchu Dynasty was not afraid of him.

But all the tricks used are clear, and the beatings and scolding are just some skin injuries.

But now, although this prince seems to be much more sensible, he is actually more terrifying than before.

That mouth is like being coated with poison, and a mouthful of teeth is like a knife, and as soon as it opens its mouth, it wants to kill people everywhere.

At this moment, Xu Zhiqiu didn't dare to speak, but an old minister next to him was a little interested.

"Dare to ask His Majesty the Prince, how can you be sure that the two families will not find out?

Chu Mo held his hands behind his back, and he was already confident.

"Isn't this obvious? That imperial uncle Zhao Ning is already infamous for rebellion, and if my Chu State does not destroy him, it is already a gift, and he can buy weapons, so he can't be grateful to Dade?"

"As for Zhao Zheng, if we don't help Zhao Ning, we are already benevolent and righteous. They all thought that if Chu State didn't interfere, how could they dare to tell the matter of selling weapons? They even demanded that we not be allowed to say it!"

Chu Mo replied fluently, and came one by one: "In this way, unless one side can't hold on, it will ask for help from Chu State again, and at that time, won't it be obvious which side to help?

"In short, he Zhao has internal turmoil, so let their uncles and nephews fight by themselves, and let him Zhao have internal friction by himself. For the sake of his Zhao State's little family matter, he will lose the lives of thousands of soldiers of my Chu State, and he will never agree!"

Chu Mo waved his hand, and his words were agitated, showing his feelings of worrying about the country and the people everywhere.

As for those generals, their eyes were already red.

I can't wait to shout twice, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty.

In fact, in this matter, the civilian officials are entangled in the alliance between the two countries and have always advocated sending troops to support.

However, the generals defended the territory of the Chu State, and it was rare for the war to stop, so they were naturally reluctant to go to the Zhao State to fight a long distance.

Now that Chu Mo has said everything in their hearts, it is understandable for a good man to protect his family and defend the country and shed his blood.

But for the sake of the so-called alliance, the soldiers had to risk their lives to help other countries fight, and these generals were naturally reluctant in their hearts.

It can be said that Chu Mo's words have almost captured the hearts of more than half of the generals of Chu State!

What's more, Chu Mo's strategy really can't find any flaws.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, suddenly, the old man who had been silent at the front of the right side finally stood up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels sorry for the soldiers of my Chu State, this is a blessing. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's remarks just now are a bit naΓ―ve. Chu and Zhao have been allied for a long time, if they don't send troops this time and have a dislike with Zhao State, Zhao State may directly tear up the alliance, wouldn't it cost more soldiers' lives for this?"

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials present echoed them one after another.

Chu Mo glanced at the man, and his eyes faintly flashed with a hint of solemnity.

Secretly waited for so long, and finally waited for an acquaintance to speak.

Seeing that the generals are all falling towards their side, when they are facing the right Xiangyu Wenchenghua, a super difficult master, finally can't sit still?

"Do you think that Zhao Guo will fight against Chu in the future?" Chu Mo squinted his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yuwen Chenghua looked at him, nodded slightly, and replied: "If the alliance is torn up and the two countries go to war again, it will be sooner or later." At that time, the price to be paid for this will be much greater than it is now. ”

But in this regard, Chu Mo has already calculated: "The right is really old and confused, now that Zhao is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, after this battle for the throne is over, it will inevitably hurt the vitality of Zhao Guo." In this case, Zhao State will only beg our Chu State not to take advantage of the danger of others, where can we dare to tear up the covenant?"

"There is one more thing, I hope that the right minister will be able to understand in the future - what can really make Chu no longer go to war is the strength of Chu State, not the so-called alliance. ”

"There is no diplomacy for a weak country, this is an eternal truth!"

Chu Mo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and before entering the main hall, he had thought of all the countermeasures.

Yuwen Chenghua's troubles are also in his plan.

This old guy hit the muzzle of the gun this time.

Sure enough, after Chu Mo finished speaking, Yuwen Chenghua's old face suddenly turned red, and a burst of anger faintly appeared on his face.

But because of Chu Mo's identity, he endured it and didn't break out.

In the court, there was a dead silence all of a sudden.

As for Emperor Chu, his eyes were shining!

There is no diplomacy for a weak country!

He didn't expect Chu Mo to be able to say such a thing!

What a simple sentence, but how impactful!

That's right, a strong country, even if there is no alliance, the surrounding small countries will bow down to you.

But if it is a weak country, even if it has signed countless alliances, its own destiny is still in the hands of others.

In a word, only strong can control destiny!

Chu Mo said the true meaning in just five words!
