After perceiving that the attack of various countries on the Chu State was imminent, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Spread the edict of the widow, with Zhu Guo Jingcui as the main general, command all the Chu troops in Huainan and defend Huaishui.

The order was sent to the general Zhaoying, asking him to lead the Chu State Naval Division to continue to garrison Huaishui, and in addition, transfer 50,000 soldiers recruited from between Jiang and Han to return to Yingdu.

The order was sent to Zuo Sima Tang Yu, asking him to continue to stay in Yuedi, comfort the Yue people, and transfer the general Sima Jian to return to Wujun to garrison.

An order was sent to the general Zhao Hua and Zuo Sima Tang Wu, asking them to select the nobles and sages from the land of Wu Yue who were interested in the Chu State, and let them go to Yingdu to accept the canonization of the widows. ”

After a pause, Xiong Huai pondered for a while, and spoke again: "Spread the edict of the widow, please go to Yingdu immediately to discuss important matters."

Summoned Taifu Yin, told him to prepare, and the widow wanted to leave for Yingdu in three days, and let him accompany him. ”

"Yui"

······

Yingdu.

This time, after Xiong Huai returned to Yingdu, he did not choose to rest for a few days first, but immediately summoned the important ministers of the court to discuss the matter.

However, after seeing the position of the head of the ministers, and now only Jing Li was left, Xiong Huai couldn't help but sigh lightly. Then he immediately cleaned up his mood and said to Chen Zhen: "Since the widow rejected the persuasion of various countries, the contact between countries has become more frequent, Chen Qing, tell the ministers about the movements of various countries." ”

"King!" Chen Zhen immediately responded: "The news from the north that after the kings of the three kingdoms of Zhao Wei and Qi joined the alliance, they did not return to the countries, but went to Luoyi together.

In addition, news from other countries that the kings of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Song have also left for Luoyi. Soon, the kings of the six kingdoms will meet in Luoyi to discuss the fight against Chu. ”

Xiong Huai asked expressionlessly, "What about Yan Guo?" What is going on in Yan Kingdom? ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "Back to the king, although King Zhao invited King Yan to go to Luoyi as an ally, he was rejected by King Yan. At present, there is calm in Yan Kingdom, and there is no movement. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is good news, the biggest movement is that Yan Country does not move, if Yan Country does not move, Qi State will hesitate, in this way, Qi Country will not have many troops that can be dispatched when it has been weakened by widows many times."

It would be better if the Yan Kingdom made another move when the countries attacked me. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai shook his head, then looked at Jing Li and asked, "Ling Yin, I don't know what is going on in the country?" What do the people of all places think about the destruction of the widow and the country? ”

Jing Li responded with a smile: "When the news of the king's destruction of Yue came back to China, the people everywhere were all greatly excited. Therefore, the whole country is jubilant, especially the people of Huainan. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly, no surprise at this.

The destruction of the Yue Kingdom is beneficial to Huainan, and from then on, the people of Huainan no longer have to guard against the Yue Kingdom on the one hand, and peep at the Qi and Song Dynasty on the other hand, so as to avoid falling into a two-sided war, or just fighting the north, there is an embarrassing situation of having to go to the south to fight, and the people of Huainan naturally absolutely support.

Moreover, Huainan still has the advantage of Huainan, and it is difficult for countries to enter Huainan.

As for the people of Jianghan, Xiong Huai sent them to attack Jiangdong just to buy them, and the money in Huijicheng was enough to seal their mouths.

Xiong Huai smiled, and then asked, "Ling Yin, have all the feudal monarchs from all over the country rushed to Yingdu?" ”

Jing Li shook his head and said: "Back to the king, most of the feudal monarchs have already arrived in Yingdu, and some remote feudal monarchs have been late in getting the news, so it will take a few days to arrive in Yingdu." ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai muttered: "Okay, since this is the case, then the next court will be agreed on five days later, and all the feudal lords will participate in the court meeting at that time." ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Dou You, who had returned to Yingdu with him, and said, "Taifu Yin, I don't know if the 100,000 gold ordered by the widow before has been transported to Yingdu?" ”

Dou You replied: "Back to the king, the 100,000 gold has been transported to Yingdu a few days ago." ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and then ordered: "Taifu Yin, all the grain of the Huaishui defense line is provided by Shou County, plus the millions of stone grain donated by the Huainan Fengjun, and the military grain that our Chu army is planting on the south side of Huaishui, it can be safed for the time being." As for the land of Fangcheng Danxi, there are many mountains and forests, and it is difficult to grow grain. Therefore, the next step is to need Xianqing to run the military rations with all his strength to provide enough military rations for the soldiers. ”

Dou You immediately responded: "Please rest assured, the king has hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Wancheng to support Fangcheng Danxi, and will definitely not let the Chu army in front of him worry about lack of food." ”

"Okay, it's okay to be so widowed."

Then, Xiong Huai's gaze swept over the ministers, and then fell on the body of the temporary agent Yin, and asked: "Xianqing, please take over the duties of Yin for several months, I don't know if you are already familiar with the national fortifications, and also, how are you preparing for this battle?" ”

Thinking about it, he bowed to the king of Chu gratefully, and immediately responded: "Back to the king, after Sikong's misfortune, the minister has been acting in accordance with Sikong's previous deployment and has not made major changes, so there have been no major fluctuations in the fortifications in the country.

As for this battle, the Great Wall of Fangcheng has been repaired, if the troops of Qin and Sanjin want to break through the defense line of Fangcheng, they must have a million divisions, and they must attack day and night for more than a year.

In the land of Danxi, for several years, Sikong and his ministers have been strengthening the defense on the east bank of Xishui, which lasted four years, and made Xishui into an iron barrel, only a Chu army was needed to defend on the east bank, so the Qin army did not want to cross the river.

In the land of Chen Cai, the city is high and the pool is deep, and Sima Zhaoju has been strengthening the city defense, so don't worry. Wujun in Hanzhong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, after several years of preparation, the fortifications have been perfected. ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Qing has been serving as a left worker for several years, during which he has handled the fortifications in an orderly manner, and now he is temporarily acting as a worker Yin at a critical time.

Therefore, the widow wants to take Xianqing as the worker Yin and preside over the fortifications of the Chu State, but I don't know if Mr. is willing to share the worries of the widow. ”

As the King of Chu spoke, all the ministers looked at him.

Zhao Yu's death, perhaps the tooth is the one who benefits the most, if it is at other times, the candidate of Gong Yin will have to be discussed, whether it can fall on him, the left worker, is still unknown.

However, Zhaoyu died of illness before the war, and in order to maintain the stability of the court and the important ministers of the court, in order to smoothly cut the Yue, they chose the temporary substitute of the left worker, who was most familiar with the fortifications.

Now, a few months have passed, and the OEM Yin is about to become a regular.
