King Chu Huai's face turned red and he said with a smile: "You're welcome, please take your seats."
After saying that, he sat down on the throne, and the antique throne was overwhelmed by his heavy body.
In normal times, when ministers meet the King of Chu, they usually address him as 'Your Majesty' or 'My King'.
After the Yunmengze Alliance, I don't know who started it, and the title of King Huai of Chu was changed to 'overlord'.
The result can be imagined - King Huai of Chu was delighted.
From then on, all the ministers' names for the King of Chu changed invariably.
King Huai of Chu was sitting on the main seat, full of energy and looking like a wise king: "Everyone, do you have anything to report?"
A minister stood up, first respectfully said "overlord", and then briefly described the chaos in Bashu.
The Bashu Rebellion is well known all over the world - but the level of understanding of the specific circumstances varies from country to country.
Most countries only know that Bashu was divided into multiple forces, and they fought fiercely with each other.
The Chu State was close and knew relatively more information - they only knew that Chen Ping killed Ying Yun, established himself as the Marquis of Shu, and then openly rebelled against Qin while suppressing the rebellion internally.
As for Hong Shitou and other Chu people's contribution to the situation, it is not clear.
No one knows the role played by Qu Yanghou, who is firmly entrenched in his fiefdom and travels all day long.
The minister elaborated and briefly described the news that he had learned about the Bashu region - what is certain is that Bashu has been at war, and there is a faint tendency to break away from Qin's control.
Then the problem is placed in front of Chu State——
Should we send troops to intervene?
King Huai of Chu hesitated for a long time... Zhaoju still claimed to be ill, and Quyang Hou, who was clever and resourceful, also kept being 'sick'. King Chu Huai had no backbone around him who could come up with ideas, and he looked even more confused.
"In your opinion, what should I do in Chu?" King Huai of Chu asked.
"Reporting to the overlord - the rebellion in Bashu is exactly what I, the Great Chu, want."
"There will still be fights between Qin and Chu in the future - chaos in Bashu will weaken Qin."
"Now we can either wait and see what happens, or directly send troops and take advantage of the civil strife in Shu to try to expand territory westward..."
King Huai of Chu was greatly moved.
The land of Bashu is thousands of miles of fertile land!
After ten years of development by the Qin State, it has become a world-famous new granary, and its wealth is no less than that of the Huainan Plain, which the Chu State is proud of.
"If we send troops directly... it is very likely to cause Qin's dissatisfaction." A minister said.
King Chu Huai waved his hand nonchalantly.
With his current level of expansion, he has long since ignored Qin.
So what if you’re dissatisfied? At worst, there will be another war!
Under the wise leadership of my Mi Huai, Dachu will be victorious in every battle! It is worthy of Qin!
…
There was an argument that lasted all day, but in the end there was no result.
The reason is simple - the situation in the Bashu region is too complicated, and the Chu State has too little information.
Even if you are not afraid of Qin, whether to send troops to Bashu is still a difficult choice.
Don’t you see that Qin has spent ten years and still hasn’t completely taken over the land of Bashu?
Just five years ago, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the land of Bashu.
Nowadays, civil unrest is spreading again... It can be seen that this land of Bashu is a hot potato.
Even assuming the best case scenario - the Chu State took advantage of Bashu to become a pot of porridge, took advantage of the situation, and devoured the entire territory of Bashu... Assuming those unscrupulous people still made some shows every now and then, it would be enough to make Ying very anxious.
All I can say is that those people from Bashu are really unruly people! Unable to understand Wang Hua!
With the advanced bureaucracy of the Qin State, it took only ten years to control Bashu and two chaos... If the Chu State had this hot potato in its hands, with the greedy demands of the noble ministers of the Chu State, they would not necessarily have to face many rebellions. Woolen cloth.
In the end, the wise and wise King Huai of Chu could only make a decision for the time being - not to send troops for the time being and wait and see what happens!
…
Compared with Ying Du's eyes darkening, Xiong Wuliang's understanding of the situation was much clearer.
Xiong Wuliang leaned on the recliner, lying stretched out in a comfortable position.
There is also a volume of letters in his hand - it was Hong Shitou who used Qingyu Guard to send letters across thousands of miles.
"What a great Hong Shitou. He is indeed very capable." Xiong Wuliang stretched out and praised.
There are now four forces in Shu, among which the Ba people's rebel army is obviously a force supported by Xiong Wuliang.
The other three forces are not friends to the Palestinian rebels.
Even though the Shu rebels currently have the same enemies as the Ba rebels, and they have a tacit understanding with each other... they may not be willing to be loyal to the Chu people in the end.
But no matter what, Hong Shitou's strategy in Bashu has produced extraordinary results.
No matter what, the Qin State is definitely much more troubled than the Chu State now!
Now...do you want to consider stepping in?
Xiong Wuliang fell into deep thought...
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally sighed and shook his head.
Prince Mi Heng's flash of murderous intention was like a fishbone in Xiong Wuliang's heart.
This is also the reason why Xiong Wuliang has been reducing his sense of existence for such a long time.
He really doesn’t want to fight for power and profit in the court... Labor and management just want to eat, drink and have fun, and be a happy, fat and white moth, swaying in the rice vat... Why don’t you believe it?
Xiong Wuliang took a piece of Quyang paper, picked up his pen, thought for a moment, and began to reply to Hong Shitou——
The conquest of Bashu was of great significance to Dachu.
The Chu State was still unable to cope with the devouring of the land of Bashu - there was already a lot of newly incorporated land, and it was still being digested. Moreover, the people of Bashu were fierce and very resistant to foreign rulers. Even the Qin State, with its efficient and tough bureaucracy, would take decades to completely conquer Bashu.
Not to mention the backward bureaucracy of Chu State - if you really want to engulf Bashu, you may have to quell rebellion every three days.
However, if we can support a pro-Chu force to govern in the land of Bashu... it would also be great!
Invisibly, it can greatly eliminate the threat of Qin and at the same time enhance the strength of Chu.
Then, the status of the Chuan clan, which has already pledged allegiance to the Chu State and to Marquis Quyang, becomes even more important!
Xiong Wuliang's Chu seal characters have always been ugly... At first glance, they look like a bunch of tree branches put together temporarily.
But the meaning expressed in the reply was quite clear -
First, increase support for Hong Shitou and increase the supply of food and various weapons.
However, Xiong Wuliang will not directly send troops to intervene - all specific operations must rely on Hong Shitou himself.
When necessary, Hong Shitou has the right to mobilize a small number of Quyang's new troops, who can secretly enter the Bashu land in batches and participate in the war in the name of volunteers.
In short, Xiong Wuliang promised to provide Hong Shitou with all support except "directly sending troops"!
There is only one ultimate goal——
Unify the land of Bashu and support the Sichuan clan to come to power! Establish a pro-Chu regime!
