Yan Jun Ji Ling is no longer shameless, but King Chu Huai is still shameless. The Chu State lives in the south, has a vast territory, and many soldiers. On paper, its strength is not inferior to that of Qin and Zhao. As for its strength Being ranked third is largely due to the fact that they had a peace-loving king when King Chu Huai was on the throne. Unlike his ancestors who were keen on expanding their territory and attacking everywhere, they were indulged in comfort and preferred luxury. Praise for enjoyment, national peace and prosperity, and a peaceful and prosperous age. The people of Chu have rarely fought for decades. They occasionally have conflicts with the people of Qin, and they are limited to small-scale fights. The cleverness of the people of Qin is that they have a deep understanding of the people of Chu. Be wary, but don’t try to seduce this sleeping giant until you are completely sure.

&nb[Pig][Pig][Island] novel ww.zuhmsp; After decades of comfort, how much combat effectiveness does the Chu army have besides the heroic army stationed on the border between Qin and Chu? is questionable

King Huai of Chu was content with enjoying life and had more than half a hundred children. In response to King Yan's proposal, marrying one of his daughters to King Yan as his queen was just a deal. In fact, for King Huai of Chu, this was I can’t remember what my daughter’s voice and appearance look like.

But even if I can't remember, she is still a noble princess.

Tian Dan was just the prime minister of Qi, but after breaking Yan, he forcibly summoned the princess of Chu to sleep with him. This was a naked humiliation to King Chu Huai. How could King Chu Huai not be furious? As for Ji Ling of Yan County, which had already perished, King Huai of Chu had already forgotten it.

Rumors are always much faster than people's footsteps. When Chun Yuyan was still running desperately on the road to Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State, the rumor about Tian Dan forcibly summoning the princess of Chu State to sleep with him in Jicheng had already spread to Yingcheng. , of course, the rumors will never be just such a simple sentence, but full of emotions, and some people even describe the details in great detail. It was as if they were watching from the sidelines

Chu people are angry!

King Huai of Chu was also angry

The king, who was already over sixty years old, would smash everything he saw in the harem, and his roars made the entire harem fall into silence. Although the old king did not kill people often, he was not a non-killer either.

"Summon Qu Zhong, Sun Shu'ao, and Huang Xie into the palace!" After smashing everything at hand, King Huai of Chu finally regained some consciousness. Now in Chu State, almost all the troops that can fight are gathered at the border of Qin and Chu. . And the imperial court also tilted more resources in that direction, and suddenly wanted to launch another war. Even for the wealthy Chu State, it was not something that could be accomplished overnight. What's more, would the important ministers of the Chu State agree to launch such a war? , or another thing

It should be said that in the era of King Huai of Chu, the State of Chu

There are still many famous officials, including Huang Xie, the first assistant. The second assistant, Sun Shuao, and the Taiwei Qu Zhong were both famous officials in the world. Although King Huai of Chu was promiscuous. He often didn't show up for ten days and a half, but the government affairs were still in order under the care of these three people, and the important ministers of Chu State changed. The countries on this continent can be said to be the most stable. These three people have been in charge of the Chu government for more than ten years.

A stable court and a vast territory. The complex terrain and large population are the reasons why Qin State put Chu State at the end when it launched a war to unify the Central Plains. In other words, if Qin State now launches a war of annihilation against Chu State, , there is no certainty of victory

When eating persimmons, pick out the soft ones first. This is an eternal truth.

"I want to send troops to Qi State!" Staring at the three important ministers in front of him, King Chu Huai said in a strong tone. Some important ministers objected for various reasons. King Chu Huai expressed his attitude first and set a tone for this time. You three, don’t talk to me now about whether to send troops, but think about how to send troops.

But to King Chu Huai's surprise, both Huang Xie and Sun Shu'ao nodded in agreement. As for Qu Zhong, the captain of the army, not to mention, over the years, because of King Chu Huai's ability to calm things down, His political strategies and military talents were never given a chance to show off.

"Tian Dan is bullying people too much!" After receiving the approval of the three ministers, King Chu Huai couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Xie Gong said, "About the princess, although there are rumors flying all over the sky now, we can't believe it until there is no concrete evidence. As for the three of us who agreed to the king sending troops, it was not because the princess was humiliated now." Such rumors"

"Why is that?" King Huai of Chu asked in astonishment

"Your Majesty, because now is indeed a rare opportunity!" Sun Shuao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Tian Dan of the Qi State mobilized all the troops in the country to invade the Yan State. They won every victory and forced the Yan Jun to flee. Now he has sent tens of thousands of troops to invade. In western Liaoning, the country is extremely empty. Now the Qin people are fighting inextricably with the Zhao State, and they are also fighting with the Wei people in the Wei State. They have no time to care about other places. This is a good opportunity for Chu to take advantage of the chaos and profit. "

King Chu Huai's face was a bit ugly. The reason why these people agreed to send troops was not for the sake of King Chu Huai's face. He thought so in his heart, but of course he would not say it out loud. In any case, these people are important ministers of Chu. , Over the years, it can be said that he has tried his best. Although King Huai of Chu was arrogant and extravagant, he was not stupid. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in the position he is now and sit for decades.

King Chu Huai turned to look at Qu Zhong: "Qu Qing, since the two auxiliary ministers have agreed to send troops, are you ready?"

Qu Zhong straightened up and said to King Huai of Chu: "Your Majesty, if we mobilize the whole country of Chu, we can get an army of 500,000, but among them, apart from the 100,000 troops on the border between Qin and Chu, we can still call them elite." , but other armies stationed in various places have long been lax in their preparations. They have not experienced war for decades, and some troops are probably rotten to the bone."

King Chu Huai's expression changed, "Qu Qing, how can I be so unbearable as a powerful Chu? Are you exaggerating?"

Qu Zhong was a little helpless. Da Chu's military preparations were lax. Most of the annual military budget was sent to the Qin-Chu border. If there were more there, there would naturally be less elsewhere. If there was less money, how could military preparations not be lax? Reason: "Your Majesty, our military expenditure in Chu has been too little in recent years."

Hearing Qu Zhong's complaint, King Chu Huai's face looked a little ugly. But he also knew in his heart that the problem here had a great relationship with him. "Well, Qu Qing, what are your plans for sending troops this time?"

Qu Zhong smiled slightly and said, "As long as the assistant administrators can come up with enough budget, that will be enough."

"This time the money is enough" Huang Xie smiled

"The money is enough. When did I, Da Chu, ever lack money? Qu Qing, I will personally come up with a sum of money this time. Tian Dan humiliates me like this, how can I let him go so easily?" Chu King Huai's spirit was greatly boosted

Huang Yi and the other two looked at each other. There was some helplessness. There was no way to get their king to spend some private money. Naturally, he was happy to be able to get some this time. But what their king couldn't forget was that he was slapped in the face. Make them a little helpless

"Your Majesty, this dispatch is more of a training exercise. The three of you have discussed this emergency for a long time. The whole country is filled with anger, and the voice of dispatching troops is unprecedentedly high. This was unimaginable in the past. We just took this opportunity to mobilize the entire army. During the mobilization, high-intensity marching and training can naturally eliminate the weak brigades, thus avoiding the need for us to reorganize. When we transfer the army to Linyi, a brand new Chu army will appear," Qu Zhong explained.

King Chu Huai's expression turned ugly once again. He didn't pay for it just to train his troops.

"So, you are not prepared to teach Tian Danluo a lesson at all?" he asked angrily.

"No!" Huang Xie explained: "Training troops is indeed an important task, but aligned operations are also one of the goals of our actions this time. But whether we can align operations depends on the victory of the war between the Qi army and Yan Guo Gaoyuan. What about the negative relationship? If Gao Yuan wins and the Qi army is defeated, then our troops transferred to Linyi will attack Qi in large numbers, take advantage of his illness, kill him, and beat up the drowned dog. But if the Qi army wins, we will attack Qi in Linyi. The army will not launch an attack rashly, because since then, we have no guarantee of victory in Qin's ambitions. Everyone knows that if we lose this battle with Qi, we will definitely attract Qin's covetousness. Moreover, once Qi State wins, Qi State’s strength will be greatly improved, and we will most likely suffer losses."

Sun Shuao continued: "Now the world is in chaos. Qin destroyed Han, attacked Wei, and forced Zhao, while Qi destroyed Yan. If they succeed, another big country will rise next to us, and we are the big country of Chu." , we have not repaired our military equipment in these years, and have fallen far behind the opponent. If we cannot catch up, we will inevitably be invaded by our opponents. Your Majesty, we must work hard at this time, otherwise, the fate of Han and Wei today will be Liwu. It’s not far away”

King Chu Huai originally came to these three people to discuss something to vent his anger on, but instead of being punished by the three of them, he was very unhappy. However, every word of what they said was true, and he stood angrily. He got up and said, "You can take care of this matter!"

Seeing King Chu Huai leave in annoyance, the three of them quickly stood up, "Your Majesty, what about the internal currency?" Qu Zhong asked after him.

"You are indispensable for a tael of silver!" King Chu Huai said a word and left angrily. The remaining three people looked surprised. This time, with the help of Tian Dan's frivolousness and rudeness, the three people successfully mobilized the whole country to start a war. Xin Xin obtained a large sum of money from the stingy king. More importantly, if Tian Dan was defeated and Chu took advantage of the opportunity, once he captured Qi, the strength of Chu would take a huge step forward. In the duel with the Qin people, they were no longer at a disadvantage, and with the help of this incident, the Chu army was eliminated and the Chu army was restored to its glory.

Poor Chun Yuyan was still heading towards Yingdu covered with dust at this time, with a look on his face that he was about to be blackmailed. If he knew about this conversation in the palace of the King of Chu, would he turn around and leave, returning to Qu? Where's Wo?
