Chu State, Chengdu, Royal Palace.
"Crack——"
A jade cup was thrown heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Chu Wang Xiangtong's cheeks were red, and the long gray hair on his head moved without any wind - this was not because Chu Wang Xiang was trying to get something, but because he was really angry.
"This King of Wu is really as stupid as a pig! He actually granted the title of uncle to Lu Wu, a rebellious official and traitor - the world will inevitably be in chaos!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." An old eunuch with white hair as white as snow, wearing a dark gold peony robe and standing behind the King of Chu, shouted in a low voice.
His voice is not loud, but it has a strange concussive power that can calm people down quickly.
This is a secret technique that has been passed down by all the royal courts of the human race. It is called the "Calming Bell". It is a method that must be practiced by the chiefs of the royal court's confidants. It is specially used to wake up the king when he is angry or has become unconscious. , lest the king make wrong decisions in anger.
"Huh..." His anger was interrupted by the Calming Bell. Xiang Tong's mind cleared and he let out a long breath.
"Your Majesty, this matter is irreversible, but there are still some things that can be exploited." Seeing that your Majesty calmed down, Wei Tu, the Great Sima of Chu State, said in a deep voice.
"What do you think Wei Qing has to say? Tell me quickly." King Xiangtong of Chu asked quickly.
"The matter of conferring the title of uncle is a big one. The thief Lu Wu must go to King Wu's capital in person to receive the title. He has to come back and forth for at least a month - this thief has only taken over our Nanhe City for only a month and a half, and his foundation is in vain. I heard that this thief is acting against the will of the people and is unpopular.
The virtuous people in the Three Prefectures do not dare to speak loudly, just because the thief has strong soldiers and horses. Now that the thief leaves the original place and goes to the Kingdom of Wu, he is bringing his own death. "
"What Grand Sima said is true." On the other side of the hall, Zuo Sima Liu Chen nodded slightly in agreement, and then asked: "It's just that General Qu, who was originally planning to transfer Chiyun Pass to guard Chiyun Pass, returned to preside over the southern war situation. Now the situation has changed. General Qu Shang cannot return in time, what should we do?"
"Doctor Ji Luo, news came three days ago that Yan State has mobilized 50,000 troops to go to Mancheng Town. We must be on guard." Lei Guang, the captain of the Five Gates, added.
He was against transferring General Qu Dazhong to leave Chiyunguan Pass. Chiyunguan Pass stands between two mountains. The terrain is extremely dangerous and the defense pressure is not great. But in other words, if Chiyunguan Pass is lost, it will be difficult to recapture it. More difficult.
Mancheng Town is only five days away from Chiyunguan Pass. This distance is not close, but if it is far, it is not that far.
"Calculating the time, the documents should have been handed over to General Qu. General Qu is probably ready to set off."
"Even if General Qu sets out now, it will take nearly twenty days for the army to return to the royal capital. In addition to the journey to Tonghe Fucheng, I am afraid that the deer thief has already gone to Wu Kingdom to fight back and forth."
"This opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back! Your Majesty, we must not let this good opportunity slip by." Da Sima Wei Tu insisted.
"If the deer thief leaves Nanhe Prefecture, as long as we get one or two victories in the battle formation, the morale of the deer thief's army will be in chaos. Those three prefectures have been favored by the king for a long time, and there will definitely be righteous people who will rise up and take advantage of the situation to drive out the deer thief. Restore our territory, with this internal and external attack, the south will be determined!" Fenwu General Han Zu stood up and said loudly.
He was not trying to flatter his boss, but now several generals from the Chu State who were more senior and more famous than him were suppressing all sides on the border and resisting the powerful enemies such as Yan State and Wei State.
It would be fine if there was plenty of time left for Chu to make arrangements, but now that the opportunity was fleeting, wouldn't he have a chance?
Nowadays, apart from him, the only qualified people in Chengdu are Xiangchen and Bi Yi.
Xiangchen commanded the imperial army to protect the royal city, and must not move lightly; Bi Yi was young and had little knowledge. He was a newly promoted captain of Qingqi, and he was barely qualified for the official position. But in such a battle related to the fate of the country, who would dare to let him command the army?
"This matter is indeed inevitable, but it needs to be carefully considered. If the deer thief pretends to go to the Kingdom of Wu to be uncle, but actually stays in the south secretly, waiting for the two armies to fight, and he unexpectedly kills the general, how to deal with it? ?" Xiangchen, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, objected.
To the King of Chu, the most terrifying thing about Lu Wu was his personal combat prowess, especially his tactics of leading elites to unexpectedly attack the military formation and behead the commander. The impact was truly shocking.
King Chu Xiangtong nodded slightly, this matter must be guarded against: "Everyone who loves you, please express your own opinions so that you can make a complete plan."
"Can Grandmaster Gongsun take action? If Grandmaster Gongsun takes action, then if the deer thief dares to take risks again, he will just seek his own death."
"There is no news about Grandmaster Gongsun yet, but Grandmaster Gongsun has promised for one month, so we should be able to catch up with the war."
"Why does Grandmaster Gongsun need to take action? The matter of becoming uncle is so important. I heard that the deer thief was only from a poor background, so how could he give up such an opportunity." Zhang Huan, the minister, said.
It is said that people die for wealth and birds die for food. With the opportunity to become an uncle, who cares about the outcome of one or two wars?
Uncle Feng is not a doctor, he is a king!
Comparatively speaking, if the people present had such an opportunity, they would have to crawl over even if they broke two legs. What does a defeat mean? If you have Bojun's great reputation, how can you not attract loyal people?
"I don't think so. It is said that Lu Wu is frivolous about fame and wealth, and is independent. The King of Wu ascended the throne. It is said that this person has made great contributions, but he left the Kingdom of Wu without waiting for the reward from the King of Wu. This kind of people must not Treat it as common sense." Another minister, Li Xing, said.
These two ministers are often at odds with each other. If you support it, I will oppose it.
"How can such a great event as Uncle Feng be compared with the achievements of a mere assistant?" Zhang Huan, the assistant minister, disagreed.
Some people don't care about a hundred taels of silver, but would you like to exchange it for ten thousand taels of gold? How can the nobleness of Feng Bo be compared to ten thousand taels of gold?
"Then Lu Wu is brave, young and reckless, and his behavior is unpredictable. Can Minister Zhang be safe?" The meaning of Minister Li Xing is also very obvious - what should you do if he is just a fool and doesn't act according to common sense? ? Can you guarantee it's safe?
Zhang Huan, the assistant minister, hesitated and became annoyed: "Who can guarantee that this kind of thing is perfect?"
"Two ministers, don't argue anymore. In my opinion, no matter whether he is true or false, as long as he spreads the news carefully, it can become true. As long as the hearts of the deer thief's men are confused, he will be defeated. It’s also difficult to clean up the mess.”
