"The old minister is the great Sima of the Chu State, and he should obey the king's order!"

Xiang Yan heard the sound and half-knelt and hugged his fists.

"The heart of the general, the widow is enlightened, please get up quickly!"

"Before, the widow wanted to issue a decree of grace, but ...... Now that the force is weak, if it is really awarded, I am afraid that it will encounter considerable resistance. ”

"Therefore, the widow wants to ask the great Sima, why is there a way to match the widow's strategy?"

The king of Chu hurriedly took a step forward and helped Xiang Yan up, with a shallow emotion on his face, the temple is scheming, interests are the first, and he is the king of Chu, so he can only do this.

Tui En Ling, that was the strategy offered by Cangxuan on Xiong Han's side before, read it by himself, and thought it was very good, at least it was very good for weakening the power of the old clan of Chu State.

However, although this strategy is good, it must be strong in your own hands, or the strength of the old family in China is much weaker now, so that you can make a policy, otherwise, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the old family, which is not what you want to see.

"The king, the old minister has been in the military all his life, and most of them are not for the government affairs of the court, and the order of the favor is known to the old minister, and it is indeed the best policy, and if you want to use it, you must have enough strength to support this policy."

"Otherwise, the state of Chu will be even more chaotic."

Xiang Yan tapped his head and looked at the king, although he had guessed the king's meaning, but ...... But you can't say it yourself.

In today's Chu State, the Xiang clan wants to go further, and it is those old scholars who are blocking in front of them, and the king is also worried about those old scholars, so he is happy to weaken the power of the old clan.

"That's exactly what the old general said."

"Is there a good solution?"

A smile flickered on his face, and he looked at Xiang Yan deeply.

Previously, in the process of ascending the throne, Xiang Yan was like a slippery fish, difficult to control, but now he ...... It's still so, but ...... Now the two have something in common after all.

"The old minister is stupid."

Xiang Yan shook his head.

"Since the old general is reluctant to say more, then, the widow said it for the old general, since the old general Yin Jianyan is still sitting in the river and solving the matter of Xiong Han, can ...... Next, the widow hoped that the old general would return defeated. ”

"The first king moved the capital here, the important force is to avoid the fiefdom of those people, the Jiangbei region, the widow hopes that Xiong Han will wreak havoc in it, if it can completely disturb the entire river area, the widow wants to see it."

Negative did not continue to talk nonsense with Xiang Yan.

Directly said his own meaning, since it is difficult for his own hands to deal with the old family, then use the power of others, although for Xiang Yan, it is a little inappropriate, but Xiang Yan ...... It should be.

"This ......, it's a good thing!"

When Xiang Yan heard this, his expression changed slightly, but after a few breaths, he still gave up.

He has understood the king's strategy.

"Widows need time."

Standing at his side with one hand, he looked at Xiang Yan again.

This matter is not difficult for Xiang Yan, but what she needs is to complete it as soon as possible.

"Within two months, Xiang Yandang returned from defeat and fled all the way north, while leading troops to ask for help from the major clans."

Xiang Yan hugged his fists and saluted.

"Please, old general."

He took a deep breath, although this strategy is a bit off the table, and it will damage his face if it is passed on, but as long as he can weaken the power of the old clan with the help of Xiong Qiang's hand, everything is worth it.

Two months is just right for him to fall into the favor order next year, the strength of the old family is damaged, so he can confront himself, and when the time comes, he will rectify the government and government, and he still has time to combine the power of the Chu State.

******

A month later!

200,000 Qin-Wei allied troops gathered in the land of Xinyang, and Qin sent 100,000 troops, with Nanyang Shouye Teng as the general; Wei sent 100,000 troops, with the general Wei Mu as the general; For this battle, Wei sent 80,000 soldiers from Zhangshui!

The 200,000 army gathered, and Wei Mou suggested that he use troops quickly, Nanyang Shouteng had no opinion, and went south to attack Chu, but was blocked by Qu Liang, the general of Chu, in the land of Yingshui, and was deadlocked.

Ten days later, the arrogant Wei Mu was agitated, and the general of Chu State, Qu Liang, led the army to fight, and was flanked by Nanyang Shouteng, and returned defeated, losing 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses.

Qu Liang fled all the way south!

The Qin and Wei coalition forces captured the city, expanded the territory for hundreds of miles, and included more than ten cities!

Seven hundred miles away in the capital of Shouchun, Ling Yin ordered to immediately summon Xiang Yan on the side of the river to return to Shouchun, preside over the military affairs, and fight against the invading enemy.

At that time, news came from the river.

General Xiang Yan's camp on the bank of the river was attacked by Xiong Qiang, and the 200,000 army broke and fled.

In an instant, there was an uproar inside and outside the entire court.

How could this be?

Xiang Yannai was a first-class famous general in the Chu State decades ago, and he had never been defeated in the battle, how could he be defeated now in the hands of the Jiangnan Xiong Warrior, whose strength was far inferior to his own, and sure enough, the war between the north and the south failed.

How!

"Da Sima Wen, because of the defeat of the river, at this moment Da Sima is asking the widow to give an order, let you clan fiefdom move, as a help, to resist the raging bears, what do you think?"

In the main hall of the palace, the head of the house sat on the top, looking at the civil and military ministers at the bottom, reading the Xiang Yan document in his hand, and the waiter handed it to Ling Yin not far away.

"This ......, Wang, Xiang Yan has already gone to the shore of Dongting Lake?"

Ling Yin was not in a hurry, took the document from the king's hand, took a closer look, and then his expression changed suddenly, it was very clear that the document was written very clearly, and now Xiang Yan's soldiers will lose a lot of money.

I hope to go to the shore of Dongting Lake in person to help!

And many fiefs of the old family are in the Nuoda area north of the river and east of Dongting Lake, which is also the ancestral land of the Chu State, and the fiefs of Qu Zhaojing and other families are also included.

Sure enough, Xiang Yan went, wouldn't Xiong Han in Jiangnan also have to lead troops to press!

Looking at the time when the documents came, Yin's face was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

"Yes, it's very detailed."

Negative jaw head to right.

"What, Xiang Yan led the troops to the shore of Dongting Lake!"

"Xiang Yan is like this!"

"How can you not go to the land of Koto!"

“……”

With Ling Yin's words, in the entire main hall of civil and military affairs, people from families in the Jiangbei region looked at each other unconsciously, Xiang Yan lost the battle and went back directly.

Why go elsewhere and bring evil upon them?

"Xiang Yan's move is really inappropriate."

"However, at this time, we should quell the Xiong Gang Rebellion as soon as possible, and then repel the Qin and Wei coalition forces, and discuss it afterwards."

The king of Chu got up from his seat, looked down at the ministers, and also criticized Xiang Yan.

However, the conversation changed and fell elsewhere.

"Great King, Xiang Yan failed to defeat even Xiong Zhuang, and lost his troops and generals, which humiliated the Chu State, and he was afraid that he would not be the Great Sima, and the minister thought that he should choose someone else to take this position and save the war."

A speech official is out of the ranks, and the general of the defeated army naturally has this punishment.

"Oh?"

"Who's the general?"

He smiled and looked at the man.

"This ......, when it is pushed out by Ling Yin and the others, we will discuss it later."

The official hesitated slightly, glanced left and right, and did not say much.

"The king, the minister thinks that Xiang Yan should be summoned north immediately to fight against the Qin and Wei coalition forces, if he is meritorious, the punishment can be small, and if he is defeated again, he should be punished with a serious crime."

Ling Yin came out of the queue and took a look at the documents sent by Xiang Yan, thinking about it just now, maybe Xiang Yan didn't want to impress Xiong Han's power in Jiangdong, so he introduced Xiong Han and others into their fiefdom.

Can...... This is already the case, let Xiang Yan Hu come, the foundation of the world will be shaken, and Xiang Yan should be summoned back as soon as possible, thinking that he will use it.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The left Yin on the side of the body is listed for it.

Xiang Yan is so nonsense, it is no longer suitable to continue to stay in the river area.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

Then, a number of important ministers seconded the proposal.

Seeing this, the King of Chu's expression did not change, but a shallow smile spread, and he saw the movements of the ministers, and after a few breaths, he bowed his head.

It seems that ......, no matter what, Xiang Yan has to delay as much as possible before returning to Huaishui.

As for the Qin-Wei coalition front in the north, at this time...... Qin Wei could only capture a few cities, and it was impossible to march deeply, otherwise, it would be an open war with the Chu State.

The Qin State needs more than 400,000 to attack the Zhao State, and if the Chu State is angered, the current national strength of the Qin State is not enough.

Therefore, although Qu Liang was defeated, he was not worried, compared to the Qin and Wei coalition forces, Xiong Han and the old family were the hidden dangers among the hidden dangers.

North of the river, east of Dongting, Xiang Yan led the troops to flee, let the Xiong soldiers follow, along the way, through many fiefdoms of the clan, the dead and wounded do not know the geometry, there is no meaning above, the fiefdom private army is not dispatched.

Under a little trickery, there was a spread of soldiers, gradually ravaging the entire old clan fiefdom, with a large number of soldiers intertwined, and for a while, the private army of the fiefdom did not dare to move.

In this way, Xiang Yan marched thousands of miles before slowly traveling from the river area to the Huaishui area.

As for the forces of Xiong Han and the others, they have been attacked by the private troops of the old clan fiefdom that have gradually and spontaneously integrated, and it is difficult to go north.

This time, the strength of the old clan in the river area has been weakened by at least three layers, and many of the old clan near the river have been directly slaughtered, although it also involves the foundation of the Chu State, but it can ...... I didn't think about it.
