Xiong Wuliang was refreshed and immediately stood up from the bed.
I can't sleep.
Zhao Huaxin is the most discerning—he is here, and I can ask him to analyze it for me and come up with an idea...
"Come in quickly." Xiong Wuliang sat up straight and said.
Zhao Hua pushed open the door and entered.
If we say that the person in the best mood today is none other than Zhao Hua - even the offensive and defensive battle in Yingdu was so brutal that all the witnesses felt sad... but it couldn't dampen Zhao Hua's good mood.
Like Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua was also determined to "move his butt to the party".
Now that the King of Chu is missing, Xiong Wuliang has already broken up with the prince - there is no way out in Chu State.
It was no longer possible to lie down - he killed Zilan with one sword and forcefully took over Yingdu. Everyone present (even the Imperial Army) was cheering... How could this be so low-key?
Now, the young master can only work hard towards the peak of power...
Wakakaka!
So happy and spicy!
Xiong Wuliang sat upright - this posture alone showed how confused he was at this moment. Because in most cases, this little Quyang Marquis is neither standing nor sitting, and lacks aristocratic demeanor...
"Why did Zhao Qing come here late at night to teach me?"
Zhao Hua smiled, sat down on his own, and then began a long and thoughtful conversation——
Now that he was at odds with the future King of Chu, Xiong Wuliang had only the last two choices to make.
Or, continue to lie down - after Mi Heng ascends the throne, he can hand over his fiefdom and tribe, run to Qi State, and at least live the life of a rich man.
Or, grit your teeth and work hard... Kill all the enemies in the country, become the most powerful minister, and suppress all voices forcefully, so that you can maintain your status and wealth in the Chu Kingdom...
Xiong Wuliang fell into a long silence.
Perhaps, in such troubled times, the vision of 'lying flat' is simply impossible.
When the country is weak, others want to bully you, so you cannot lie down.
When the country is strong, others will join forces to deal with you, so you cannot lie down...
So, how can you live a secure retirement?
…
There were footsteps outside the door again, and Le Yi also walked in.
Seeing Xiong Wuliang's troubled expression, Le Yi knew not to act too hastily, so he exchanged a look with Zhao Hua.
The topic circled around and came to the current war——
When the war was mentioned, Xiong Wuliang's spirit obviously perked up a lot: "The Qingyu Guard sent a report - Qin, Wei and Han have increased their troops again. Counting Bai Qi's remaining troops, the enemy's total strength has reached 300,000."
The atmosphere in the room became depressing.
The reason for the enemy's increase in troops is simple - the Chu State is in a precarious state and seems to be about to fall.
However, winter is coming soon and time is running out.
The three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han may want to increase their efforts and strive to defeat Chu in one fell swoop before winter comes.
Three hundred thousand enemy troops...
Le Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you have 20,000 troops under your command, all of whom are elite warriors. Although their combat power is strong, their numbers are too few after all."
"If the enemy forces attack the city at all costs, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend it."
"The soldiers temporarily recruited in the city, plus the broken troops who came all the way to collect them, total only more than ten thousand people."
"That is to say, we have a total of 30,000 soldiers of varying quality in our hands, and we have to fight against the 300,000 troops of Qin, Wei and Han..." Le Yi's voice was low.
Zhao Hua smiled and added about the favorable conditions: "Bai Qi's siege army has withdrawn. We can slowly collect more defeated troops before Sima Cuo's main army arrives."
"At the same time, you can also recruit troops from other areas outside Yingdu."
"When the two armies confront each other, even if they are still at a disadvantage, they should still have the strength to fight!"
Compared to Le Yi, Zhao Hua looks more confident.
Following Xiong Wuliang for so many years, he has seen the former turn decay into magic too many times... Although it is not a blind worship, he expects that since Xiong Wuliang came all the way here, he should have a certain degree of confidence, right?
"Nearly all the local people in Yingdu have been wiped out... If we want to recruit troops from other places to enter the royal city, we must ensure that the surrounding waterways are smooth." Zhao Hua continued.
Yingdu is surrounded by water on three sides - the only northern part not facing water is where a large number of enemy troops are pressing down.
Wait until Sima Cuo's army arrives and seals the only exit... If you still want to get a steady stream of supplies, you must ensure that the river is under the protection of the Chu State.
"Fengping Nanjian, immediately recruit the Chu-Hanjiang Navy and Yunmengze Navy..." Xiong Wuliang did not hesitate and immediately ordered.
"At the same time, the navy of Ping'a, who mobilized me, is also here!"
No matter what, we must obtain the 'water control rights'!
Although the Chu State suffered heavy casualties, the strength of its navy was still first-class.
Zhao Hua stroked his beard and smiled: "With the navy's protection, Yingdu will not only be able to get sufficient supplies, but the princes will also have a way out..."
However, Xiong Wuliang unexpectedly shook his head, with inexplicable flames flashing in his eyes: "Yingdu is a very important matter, and there must be no room for failure... I will guard Yingdu and fight to the end with the soldiers and civilians of Yingdu, and I will never retreat even half of it." step!"
Zhao Hua:?
Le Yi:?
There are no outsiders in this room, right?
Why is my little master suddenly so impassioned?
Shouldn't it?
Isn't he always afraid of death?
Xiong Wuliang stood up suddenly, as if he had made up his mind: "Some things cannot be avoided."
"I belong to the royal family of Chu and have the blood of the Xiong family in my body. How can I abandon Chu and flee to Qi?"
"Repulse the enemy army and regent the Chu Kingdom... I will not retreat even a little bit!"
Xiong Wuliang's words were impactful.
If Chu, the 'vanguard against Qin', perished at the hands of the Qin people, how could there be a safe place in the world?
I'm afraid there is no need to wait seventy years to perform labor reform for the First Emperor - in less than twenty or thirty years, all the countries in the world will tremble under the invincible iron hoof of the Qin army.
I can't run away - and to be honest, I don't want to.
Just after so many years of operating in the four counties, it is impossible for Xiong Wuliang, who is obsessed with money, to give up.
Since you can't run away, you have to be tough!
The first step is to repel the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces in front of you!
After that, he will step by step reach the pinnacle of power in the Chu Kingdom! Regardless of whether King Chu Huai can come back alive... he must overshadow the future King of Chu, Mi Heng, and become the most powerful official in the Chu Kingdom!
Only in this way can we keep all our wealth and even our lives!
After the first two steps of planning are completed, there is still a third step...try to revitalize the scarred Chu State! We even have to work hard to achieve the feat of swallowing up the world!
Perhaps only in this way can the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and achieve long-term peace and stability... Can Xiong Wuliang truly enjoy his retirement life in peace and contentment?
Zhao Hua and Le Yi looked at each other, and their eyes burst out with strong joy!
After so many years... my little master finally gave up on the idea of lying down and voluntarily embarked on the right track of the 'butt-moving project'!
…
(Yimi: The change of thinking is a long process, and to be honest, it is difficult to write - the unscrupulous finally hardened up! Next, we finally get to the point)
