"Oh!" Xiong Huai's face was overjoyed, and he immediately asked Zhao Ju, "What is Ling Yin's plan?" ”

Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "Great King, the minister has come up with five plans to force the rebel party out of the city for a decisive battle.

First, many spies were sent to Jianghuai to spread rumors and disturb people's hearts, so that they could not defend the city in peace. Second, many envoys were sent to Jianghuai to make friends with the nobles who had rebelled, from the feudal monarchs to the lowest-ranking state doctors, all of whom had to make more contacts, so that they were all in danger, suspicious of each other, and did not dare to defend the city.

Third, immediately pass on to the ministers and nobles in Jianghuai who have not yet rebelled, so that they can defend the city for self-protection, and there is no need to rush to quell the rebellion, and it will be considered meritorious to defend the city. Even if they can't take it, they can be allowed to flee to Yingdu, and they will no longer be held accountable for their loss of land. In this way, on the one hand, we can avoid the county Yin nobles from surrendering to the enemy in desperation to protect themselves, on the other hand, we can also delay the march of the rebel party as much as possible, and on the other hand, we can avoid the erosion of Jianghuai and preserve the vitality of Jianghuai as much as possible.

The most important thing is to isolate the rebels and win the hearts and minds of the people.

Fourth, immediately send an order to the county Yin nobles west of Shou County in Huaibei and ask them to immediately lead their troops to Juyang and Chengyang, one to block the rebel party's advance, and the other to limit the spread of the rebel party.

Fifth, immediately send envoys to Qin, Han, Wei, and Song, so that the four countries immediately speak out to condemn the rebellion against the party.

The Qin State is too busy to take care of itself, the relationship between Chu and Han is extraordinary, the Wei State is still insufficient for self-protection, and the crown prince has no choice, as long as we open our mouths and give the Four Kingdoms a little benefit, then the Four Kingdoms will readily agree to condemn it. As long as these four countries open their mouths, then the two countries of Qi and Zhao, who can send troops to intervene in the civil strife in our Chu, will have a lot of scruples.

This is the way to do it.

Then, as soon as our army arrives, the rebels will face the disbelief of the people, the nobility will waver, the city will be unstable, and there will be no reinforcements from outside, then we will definitely go out of the city for a decisive battle, and then we will be able to fight a battle. ”

"Good, good!" Xiong Huai praised happily, and then looked at Zhao Ju and said:

"Ling Yin."

"The minister is here."

"This time, the matter of counterinsurgency was decided to be handed over to Ling Yin to take charge of the overall situation, and the matter of contacting various countries was also handed over to Xianqing."

"The minister commands."

"Pillar Country."

"The minister is here."

"Qing has been stationed in Jianghuai for many years, and the matter of contacting the nobles of Jianghuai will be handed over to Xianqing."

"Yui."

"Sima!"

When Jing Que saw the King of Chu named, he immediately responded: "The minister is here." ”

"Qing immediately sent orders to all parts of the country, began to recruit soldiers, between Jiang and Han with Yunmeng Daze as the boundary, all the west of Yunmeng rushed to Yingdu to gather, and the east of Yunmeng immediately went to Chengyang and Jiangdi to garrison, and the widow asked Xianqing to gather 300,000 troops as quickly as possible."

"Yui."

"As for the matter of plotting rebellion and co-opting, the widow intends to hand over this matter to the assassin Shiling." As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at Jin Juntong and said, "Taifu Yin, if the assassin asks for money, Qing must try his best to satisfy it." ”

Jin Juntong immediately responded: "The minister understands. ”

······

Just when Xiong Huai was deploying to suppress the rebellion, news from Jianghuai was also coming one after another.

Five days later.

Ling Yin Zhaoju hurriedly walked into the palace.

"King, Jianghuai urgent!"

Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju's solemn face, smiled and said: "Ling Yin, what is going on in Jianghuai, is there something bigger than the nobles rebelling over there?" ”

Zhao Ju said heavily: "King, the news from Jianghuai is that after Qu Yangjun broke through Huaiyin, he captured Gongzi Ziqing's mother. According to the spies, the group of rebels openly worshiped Zheng Sleeve in Shou County and treated him with the courtesy of the queen. ”

"Zheng Sleeve? Queen? Xiong Huai suddenly lost his mind for a while, and then suddenly remembered Zheng Sleeve, who was driven by him to Huaiyin, the person who took away his first time and hadn't seen her for twenty years.

Twenty years have passed, and when I think about it, the beauty at the beginning is now old.

Thinking about it, he muttered, "Are they trying to find a concubine for the widow to be the queen, and they want to humiliate the widow?" ”

"Nope." Xiong Huai suddenly reacted, frowned and said, "They are not respecting Zheng Sleeve, they are respecting Ziqing and want to tie up Zhao Guo." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai suddenly looked at Zhao Ju and asked, "That group of rebels sent people to Zhao State." ”

"The king knows what he knows." Zhao Ju praised slightly, and then responded: "Not only did I send people to the Zhao State, but I also sent people to the Qi State." ”

"Qi Guo?" Xiong Huai was stunned.

Since that group of feudal monarchs has already bet on the side of Zhao State, and now they are sending people to Qi State, what can impress King Qi?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately scolded: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, it's really hateful, it's not enough to pack and sell Chu State to Zhao State, but also sell Qinghe Huaiyin and even Sheyang to Qi State, damn it, all of them deserve to die." ”

After scolding for a few sentences, Xiong Huai frowned and said: "Zhao State is just that, now he is still fighting with Qin State with all his strength, and he has no time to take care of Chu State." It's just that on the side of the Qi State, last time the widow used the Qi army to blackmail the Qinghe of the Qi State, and this time the King of Qi will definitely recapture the Qinghe.

Once the Qi State sends troops to Qinghe, then the Qi State will definitely take the sheep to seize Huaiyin, the important town of our Chu State, and even the downstream Huaishui estuary to shoot Yang. ”

"The king is wise." Zhao Ju agreed: "Last time, the State of Qi used the strategic place of Qinghe in Huaibei to seek peace with our State of Chu, which has always been regarded as a great shame by the State of Qi, and this time there is such a good opportunity, the State of Qi will definitely take the opportunity to send troops." And once Qi sends troops, it will be extremely unfavorable to our counterinsurgency plan. ”

"Hmph." Xiong Huai snorted coldly: "The soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the soil, and the Qinghe River will be enough, if the Qi army dares to come to Huainan, then the widow will let the King of Qi know that my Chu State Naval Division is invincible in the world, but it is not blown out." ”

Zhao Ju nodded, and then arched his hand and said: "King, there is one more thing, not long ago, after the rebels gathered in Shou County, they openly took Liujun as the general and Quyangjun as the general, and raised the banner, saying that it was to raise righteous soldiers, eliminate tyranny, and punish traitorous ministers.

Moreover, they also pointed the finger at the Zhu State and the Zuo disciples, saying that as long as the king woke up and was willing to kill the two Zhu Guo Zuo disciples, then their eighteen feudal monarchs who rebelled would be willing to be killed. ”

"Huh?" Xiong Huai's eyes sank and he sneered.

He didn't believe that the selfish nobles would apologize for their crimes, they did this just to drive a wedge between the monarch and the minister.

If he had believed those nonsense, not only would they not have surrendered, but they would have stepped up and demanded more benefits.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "The discord plan, they want to dissociate the relationship between the widow and the important ministers of the court." ”

"I can't help it." Zhao Ju said with a solemn face: "Great King, when they released this, in addition to wanting to kill the left disciples of the Pillar Kingdom without much effort, I am afraid that the more important purpose is to separate the relationship between the Great King and the feudal monarchs in various places.

Once the feudal lords in various places learned of this, they would definitely suspend the dispatch of troops while writing to the king, asking the king to kill the left disciples of the Zhuguo.

In this way, no matter whether the king is willing to kill the Zhu Kingdom or not, the time for the nobles to send troops will be greatly delayed.

This is their delaying plan, wanting to drag the time to Qi and Zhao, and even the countries to send troops into Chu. ”

"Good calculation! With this sentence alone, he dragged down the army of 100,000 outnumbered people. Xiong Huai's face instantly became gloomy.
