Guijun!
"General, we have a very serious matter now. When the Chu State General Zhou Zhaojian and the Commander-in-Chief Xiao Huangqi stationed troops on the border between Yue and Jing, they might interfere in the war between Qin and Chen."
"This is extremely detrimental to our army!" Lan Tian said.
"Um!"
"Our army has deployed troops in the four counties of Jingnan, and we have to guard against Chu's sneak attacks from behind."
"Otherwise, our army is very likely to be attacked from both sides by the Chu army... Xiao Huangqi is a Confucian general with the same reputation as the military advisor, Gongsun Yan and others. His foresight makes us, too, have to be careful." Facing the Chu army, Li Jing was very Be careful.
King Chen is no better than King Chu. The only adviser King Chen can rely on is Bing Zheng. As for Bing Zheng's talent, to put it harshly, he, Li Jing, could handle him alone. But Chu State was different. With the Governor Xiao Huangqi sitting in charge, Li Jing was careful in every step he made.
"There are 30,000 troops stationed in Nanxia County. Although we have 80,000 troops, it is not easy to take them down." Li Jing thought, "Lantian, you are a talented defender of the city, and there are few opponents in the past. I and your army are both Wan, we are camping outside Guiyang. If the Chu army invades, I hope you can hold them off for half a month."
Engaging the Chu army was the key to Li Jing's victory.
Of course, regardless of whether the Chu army intervenes in the war between Qin and Chen, Jiangdong must be on guard against it.
With Xiao Huangqi's foresight, how could he give up such an opportunity to expand his territory?
and! After the battle between Qin and Chen, they will definitely turn their attack target to Chu, that is to say! There will eventually be a war between Qin and Chu.
only! The only difference is who is on the defensive side and who is on the offensive side.
This question would not have occurred to Xiao Huangqi's wisdom.
And the court of Chu State also discussed this matter countless times?
King Chu Dongfang Yin is not a fool. The general trend of the world is now obvious.
Regardless of whether it is Qi or Qin, if any country is destroyed, the next opponent will be Chu. The one with the greatest chance of attacking Chu is undoubtedly Qin.
The State of Qin knew that Chu State was still standing behind Jingzhou, but he still dared to attack. You can imagine the ambition of King Qin.
At this time, in the Chu State's main hall, all the civil servants of Chu State had arrived.
Zheng Yu, Cong Yuan, Wen Xiang and other ministers of literature and art were all ministers of Jiangdong. The one headed by the military general is naturally Xiao Shan.
Xiao Huangqi, the governor of Jiangdong, has already led his troops outside. All the generals inside and outside the imperial court are led by Xiao Huangqi. Chen Xing, Deng Zhong, Zhou Xi, Lu Jie, Zhou Zhaojian, Fang Shouke, Luo Qian, Sui Dianlong and other generals were all guarding the front line.
"My dear friends, this is the battle report sent by the Grand Governor from the front line. I asked someone to copy it. Everyone, please take a look!" Dongfang Yin motioned to the eunuchs on the side and distributed the battle report to the ministers. .
The ministers took the war report form from the eunuch's hand and opened it one after another to take a closer look.
Now that the war between Qin and Chen is in full swing, the next country may be Chu. After reading the report, the ministers began to chatter in their mouths.
after all! The Qin State is indeed too powerful. After only five years of development, it has the ability to dominate the world and compete with other kings. Its ability should not be underestimated. Of course, when they heard the name of King Qin, everyone's eyes were full of shock.
"The Commander-in-Chief is asking for help. I hope our navy from Jiangdong can save Jingzhou's life! At the border of Yuezhou, the Commander-in-Chief has hoarded a hundred thousand troops for this purpose, hoping to compete with Qin for the four counties in Jingnan."
"Let's see if Gu agrees to the Governor's request." Dongfang Yin looked at everyone.
Although Chu State has not yet formally entered war with Qin, the threat from Qin is becoming more and more obvious.
this……
Everyone frowned, speechless for a moment. It was obvious that no one wanted to fight Qin in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, helping Chen State is openly provoking Qin. In other words, our Chu State will completely destroy Qin."
"That's right! Offending Qin for the sake of Chen Guo will be detrimental to Jiangdong and the king. I think it's better not to get involved."
Civil servants all spoke one after another. They were all from Jiangdong's big families or famous families. Once a war started, it would only do harm to their interests, but no good.
Unlike Qin and Qi, the issues of the generals and clans were dealt with clearly, and this battle was fought as it should be. Other countries still use the old-fashioned policies of the Wu Kingdom.
And as the civil servants spoke, Dongfang Yin's face became very ugly. He never expected that the civil servants under his command would be so afraid of death.
and! Zheng Yu, Cong Yuan, and Wen Xiang, the three most important ministers under his command, are silent now.
It’s okay if Congyuan and Wen Xiang don’t speak! After all, they only have strong methods for governing the country. But your vision, Zheng Yu, is higher than the two of them! Now, it’s no longer a big deal.
"Um?"
"Zheng Yu, tell me! What should I do? Fight or defend Jiangdong's foundation." Dongfang Yin asked directly, you won't ask me, but I can ask you?
Zheng Yu was stunned and took a step forward. Sure enough, he was still being targeted. "The king has already made up his mind, so I won't say more."
In Dongfang Yin's heart, all he wanted to do was help Chen Guo. Seeing the situation, he captured the four counties in Jingnan.
you……
Dongfang Yin was completely speechless.
"snort!"
"A bunch of profit-seeking, short-sighted guys!"
"Your Majesty, according to my wishes, I will help Chen State and fight Qin. It is inevitable. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When the time comes when both Chen and Qin are defeated, Your Majesty can send heavy troops to capture the nine counties of Jingzhou. "
"By then! Not only has Jingzhou been taken over, our Chu Kingdom's dominance in Jiangdong will be secure." Xiao Shan snorted coldly, stood up, and glanced at everyone with an extremely scornful look.
How can a group of scribes understand military affairs and the art of war?
"What the general said is true, we agree."
"I'll wait for the second opinion!"
The main war faction are all generals, while the anti-war faction are naturally scribes.
Finally someone spoke up for me.
"oh!"
"General Xiaoshan is right! It is better to defend Jiangdong alone and be attacked by Qin sooner or later! With the help of Chen, we can defeat Qin in a battle." Dongfang Yin said.
"In this case, how to fight the frontline battle will be left to the Grand Governor. All the troops on the front line will be handed over to the Grand Governor."
"Pass the solitary message and tell the governor to go ahead and do it." Dongfang Yin was very happy.
If the Chu State really wants to intervene in the affairs of Jingzhou, the pressure faced by the Qin State will be great.
The envoy from Chu State rushed out of the imperial capital overnight and headed for the front line.
At this time, Dongfang Yu, who was searching in Jingzhou, finally found the person he was looking for.
"Your Majesty, I've found it. Zhuge Xuanyu has found it. This guy is so well hidden that he actually built his own thatched cottage deep in the mountains."
