As soon as Zhaoju stood up, the buzzing courtiers of Chu State all fell silent and waited quietly for Old Ling Yin to speak.
Xiong Wuliang also looked intently and saw Zhao Ju shaking his gray head and saying slowly: "Yan State wants to attack Qi State, why does it want to come to our Chu State?"
"In the final analysis-Qi State is still too strong!"
"Although Qi State lost a lot of troops in the battle last year, it is still one of the most powerful countries in the world! In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led troops to attack Qi. As a result, Tian Bijiang summoned hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant... I don't know, my lord. Do you still remember?"
King Chu Huai nodded involuntarily.
really.
I originally thought that the Qi State was already a fish on the chopping block and was ready to be slaughtered... I never thought that Tian Bijiang could summon hundreds of thousands of Qi troops out of thin air with a single move, and the offensive and defensive momentum would be reversed...
King Huai of Chu was frightened at that time.
Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared.
Zhaoju said slowly: "I am trying to ease the tension between Chu and Qi - if I really follow the Yan people's wishes, I am afraid that war will start again and there will never be peace between Qi and Chu."
"To sum up, it is unwise for the coalition forces to attack Qi!"
All the ministers nodded in agreement: "Old Ling Yin is right!"
"This is what an old man says when he plans to seek a country!"
"Why should you listen to Yan Guo?"
…
Le Yi raised his hands to the ministers and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Ministers, our Yan State has united the Three Jins and the Qin State, and can send hundreds of thousands of troops. In terms of the number of soldiers, it is not inferior to the Qi State."
"This is a perfect opportunity to attack Qi!"
Zhao Ju curled his lips and said, "Although the numbers are not much different, since ancient times, the so-called coalition forces mostly have their own agendas. How can they possibly defeat the Qi army, which is united as one?"
"Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by the people of Yan - when the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, which one was not superior in military strength and national strength? And which one achieved a resounding victory?"
"Please go back, envoy Yan - our Chu country will not send troops!"
Zhaoju made his calculations clear in his mind——
The war organized by the Yan State is ready to go, and they will not retreat just because the Chu State does not join - no matter what, this fierce battle is about to begin!
If the coalition wins, then Qi, a big enemy that has been at odds with Chu, will naturally be weakened, which is a good thing for Chu.
And if the Qi army wins, then with the temperament of Qi King Tian Bijiang, he will definitely gather a large army to take revenge - then Qi's troops will no longer be aimed at Chu. In layman's terms, they will be "drawn away from hatred" '.
In short, no matter what the outcome is, it will be a good thing for Chu State.
Zhaoju stroked his beard and smiled, quite pleased with himself.
As expected of me!
Machiavellian genius!
Zhaoju looked at King Chu Huai with determination. He knew that all the ministers in the hall were on his side, and King Chu Huai must be obedient to his suggestions...
"Wait!" A discordant voice came from inside the hall.
The officials were shocked!
who? Who dares to disobey Ling Yin?
Le Yi was also very happy - he had given up hope on Chu State, but he didn't expect that he still had supporters!
Who is this person?
Everyone turned their attention to a corner of the hall - it was Qu Ping, the general of the Zhu Kingdom.
Qu Ping smiled awkwardly and turned sideways, revealing Xiong Wuliang who was tightly blocked behind him...
The officials were in an uproar!
"Xiong Liang, Marquis of Quyang?"
"When did he come in?"
"No wonder... in the huge Chu Kingdom, only this damn Mi Liang keeps going against our Lord Ling Yin!"
…
Hearing the words 'Quyanghou', Le Yi's eyes lit up.
Is this Quyang Hou Miliang who used Fu Lisi to annihilate 30,000 Qi troops, defeated 120,000 Qi troops with 10,000 Chu soldiers, and beheaded Qi General Tian Zhen?
Le Yi, who has always been conceited, also greatly admired this man's military talent!
Presumably, he must be a burly middle-aged man, with wisdom shining in his eyes... Le Yi followed everyone's gazes, and for a moment there was a girl who was looking forward to seeing her idol.
I saw a young man without a crown, leaning against a pillar as if he was lazy, and looked very un-aristocratic.
This...is this the legendary Marquis Quyang?
Le Yi's eyes widened.
This guy looks like a dandy!
Xiong Wuliang nodded slightly to Le Yi and looked friendly: "Your Majesty Mingjian - the coalition will win this battle! Qi will be defeated!"
The whole hall is quiet!
Xiong Wuliang's mind was thinking rapidly at this moment - in real history, Chu State did not participate in this war. The battle of the Five Kingdoms to defeat Qi was between the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han and Qin, and nothing happened to Chu State.
Of course, don’t say that Yan State didn’t invite Chu State.
The main reason was that Chu State did not agree to send troops.
As a result, I missed this big win!
Almost all the five countries that participated in the conquest of Qi made a lot of money from this war - and that was Qi! Qi State is known as Yin Fu!
If you don’t buy a share now, when will you wait?
When King Chu Huai heard what Xiong Wuliang said, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart...
Originally, he had decided to obey Zhaoju's wishes and refuse to send troops.
But Xiong Wuliang hit the nail on the head and said that this battle will be won.
Speaking of which, my nephew has always known things well!
So far, there has never been an unexpected situation...
King Huai of Chu also knew that if this battle was a sure thing, then Chu would definitely send troops to get a share of the pie.
The reason why Zhaoju rejected Yan's envoy was because he was not sure whether he could win.
So, do you want to join the coalition to attack Qi? King Huai of Chu was undecided again.
…
Zhaoju stared at Xiong Wuliang, furious.
Now Lao Zhaoju seems to have developed a conditioned reflex - when he sees Xiong Wuliang, his blood pressure rises!
Can we win against Qi?
How to fight, where to fight, how many troops to send, how much food and fodder... so many questions are not even mentioned, how can you be so damn sure that you can win?
"Marquis Quyang, don't talk nonsense!" A minister stood up and said very shamelessly: "Even the resourceful old Ling Yin can't guarantee the outcome of this battle. Why do you jump to conclusions so easily?"
"This is the political palace! Everything you say and do should be based on evidence, and you can't just talk nonsense!"
After the minister finished speaking, he was very satisfied with himself and glanced at Zhaoju involuntarily——
Boss, I scolded him for you!
You have to remember my goodness!
Xiong Wuliang glanced lazily at the unknown minister and said leisurely: "Old Ling Yin is not sure about the outcome, but I can be sure."
"Old Lingyin has never fought before - he is not sure about winning or losing. Isn't it normal..."
…
Zhaoju was so angry that he slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground.
What does 'Old Ling Yin never fought in a war' mean?
Although I have never fought in a war...
However, after what Xiong Wuliang said, it was Zhaoju himself who seemed to be "nonsense with no basis".
Zhaoju glared hard at the minister who had just spoken without permission.
The minister's calves trembled, and he felt like crying without tears for a moment!
Blanch!
I didn’t understand the flattery! Instead, he was hated by Zhao Juji!
