And Xiao Huangqi's eyes naturally saw his father, Xiao Shan.
The latter was seen looking at Xiao Huangqi with a straight face, as if a little angry.
If this was not the main hall of the King of Chu, if it were in private, I guess! Xiao Shan had to teach Xiao Huangqi a lesson again.
after all! The attempt to send troops to Jingzhou failed and resulted in the loss of 30,000 troops. Although 20,000 Qin troops were wiped out and the Qin general Lan Tian was annihilated, Chu's losses were many times greater than Qin's losses.
and! Thirty thousand Chu State elites cannot be trained overnight.
Xiaoshan, as the pillar of the Chu Kingdom, it’s strange that he can’t be angry!
After Xiao Huangqi and others entered the queue, the atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed a lot.
"Grand Governor, tell me! How will the Chu State respond to the Qin State's attack next?" Dongfang Yin got to the point.
No matter what? It is naturally the best to preserve Jiangdong's foundation.
certainly! Dongfang Yin is not a fool. How is the battle ahead? What about the situation in the world? He was in the rear area of Jinling, but he could see clearly.
I just didn't expect that Jingzhou would be so incompetent, and he, King Chen, was even more incompetent. The Jingzhou navy, which had been in operation for more than ten years, was destroyed at the earliest opportunity.
There are more than 200,000 troops! They all became the army of Qin. After gaining more than 200,000 troops, Qin's national power expanded for a time, and no other country could compete with it.
Back then... the King of Qin only occupied one state and had no more than 100,000 soldiers. He was able to defeat Northern Liao and almost destroy the country. This shows the great talent of the King of Qin and the strength of the Qin army.
Nowadays, Chu's land warfare capabilities are not as good as those of Bei Liao, and it can only rely on its powerful navy. Use the Huaichuan antenna to block the enemies going south across the river.
But! After capturing Jiaozhou and the four counties south of Jingzhou, the Qin army could rely entirely on the army to launch a war of annihilation against Chu.
Therefore! There was a stone hanging in Dongfang Yin's heart, but it could not fall to the ground!
Xiao Huangqi took another step to the outside, bowed and bowed to the King of Chu, and said: "To be honest with you, your Majesty, with the current strength of the Chu State, with an army of more than 300,000, it is impossible to withstand Qin's attack. "
"Especially in the land war, our Chu country can only sit and wait for death."
As soon as these words came out, not only the expression of King Chu changed drastically, but also the expressions of the surrounding ministers also became serious. When I saw Xiao Huangqi, I felt relieved immediately, but I immediately felt relieved again.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty does not know that the governor of Jiangdong is so arrogant and proud of his great reputation that he regards the people in the world as nothing more than clouds and mud under his feet.
And today! For him, Xiao Huangqi, to say such words clearly shows that the power of Qin is no lie.
"Didn't the Governor say that there is a way to resist Qin? Could it be that these words are the Governor's strategy for fending off the enemy? Or is it that the Governor's expression indicates that he already has the intention to surrender to Qin." Dongfang Yin said directly questioned.
All the ministers could smell the tense atmosphere between Dongfang Yin and Xiao Huangqi.
Xiao Huangqi's expression did not change, and he did not seem to be afraid of Dongfang Yin.
"Your Majesty, calm down. The current state of Chu is indeed unable to resist Qin. But your Majesty, please don't forget that we still have two neighbors, the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Yue. The foundations of the two countries are really strong, and they can also be called the most powerful countries in the world. .”
"But no matter what? The two countries have always occupied this faint world, a wisp of loess. There is never a shortage of capable people in the two countries. How can you imagine that the lips are dying and the teeth are cold."
"The King of Qin's ambition is to conquer the world. Not only our country of Chu is the target of King Qin's attack, but also Wu, Yue, and Beiyan. Countries other than Dawu are also the targets of King Qin's attack. If our country of Chu is really the target of King Qin's attack, The country was destroyed by Qin, and we lost the front row of Chu. Next, can Wu and Yue survive alone?"
After hearing what Xiao Huangqi said, everyone seemed to understand what Xiao Huangqi meant.
"Then what the Governor means is to form an alliance with Wu and Yue to jointly resist the Qin army?" Xiao Shan asked.
Xiao Huangqi was slightly startled and said, "Not bad."
Even though Xiao Huangqi was the Grand Governor, he commanded almost all the troops in Jiangdong. But in fact, he is still very respectful to his father Xiaoshan.
Not only that, Xiao Shan is the general of the Chu State, the general who protects the country, and the Duke of the country. His power and official position are higher than Xiao Huangqi's.
"But don't forget, the dispute between the Chu State and the Wu State has not yet been resolved. I, the Chu State, have occupied several of their border towns. I have turned their army around in circles."
"Now, everyone in the Wu Kingdom is very angry! If you go to Wu to form an alliance at this time, Wu will not allow you to be rejected and shut you out?" Xiao Shan said.
"The worst case scenario is to return the territory to the Wu State in order to promote an alliance between the two countries. Under the temptation of Xu Yi's generous gifts, I think the anger of the Wu State cannot be dispelled?" Xiao Huangqi said.
The generals, as well as Dongfang Yin, were a little reluctant.
The land that was finally conquered will be returned to others as long as it is said to be returned to others. It will not be in vain.
Dongfang Yin asked: "Grand Governor, we have a lot of good things in the east of the Yangtze River, and the Chu State is also rich. We might as well promise a heavy gift and make a good alliance between the two countries. Why do we need to return the land we took to the Wu State?" "
However, in this world, the more greedy something is, the less good it is.
"If your Majesty wants the Chu Kingdom to be destroyed, then you should act like a minister and say nothing." Xiao Huangqi's tone seemed to have changed slightly.
This guy is so arrogant that even the king doesn't take him seriously.
However, to be honest, Xiao Huangqi is really the leader of Jiangdong's generals now.
"Please pay attention to your tone, Commander-in-Chief!" Xiao Shan stared at the latter with a serious look on his face.
really! Under Xiao Shan's rebuke, Xiao Huangqi's arrogance actually subsided a lot.
actually! At this time, Dongfang Yin felt very uncomfortable, especially Xiao Huangqi's tone and attitude towards him.
"That's it!"
"The Qin army is pressing down on the country, and the Chu State must have a general governor. When it comes to envoys, let's see which minister can do it for us and promote the unification of the three kingdoms!"
Dongfang Yin glanced at everyone.
But he found that the whole hall was filled with people who were as timid as rats.
Except for those few, everyone else lowered their heads.
At this moment, two people came out of the queue.
He bowed to Dongfang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, we only need two people to send envoys to Wu and Yue. Leave such a difficult task to my brothers from the Lu family!"
Lu Qian and Lu Kun, as their names suggest, have the world hidden in their chests. The two of them are famous people from Jiangdong!
Seeing the two of them standing still, Dongfang Yin was overjoyed and said, "In this case, the important responsibility of sending envoys to the two countries will be left to you two."
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Please, my two dear friends, go back and prepare after you retreat from the court! In two days, you can leave for Wu and Yue."
"promise!"
The two responded and returned to the queue.
