The king of Chu was worried about how to deal with the complaints of these scholars.

If you reprimand Yu Shi, the Shi will resent, and the Shi class is the greatest reliance of the Chu King to strengthen his royal power and fight against the entrenched aristocracy.

If it is not reprimanded, it will reach the ears of the nobles, and it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction: if it is not disposed of, it is an attitude, an attitude that the king of Chu is ready to reuse the scholars and abandon the relatives.

So far, there is only one Ling Yin in the Chu State who was born as a prisoner of the enemy country, which is similar to Baili Xi, who was exchanged for five sheepskins by the Qin people back then.

The rest of the official positions such as Ling Yin, Mo Ao, Sima, and Zhu Guo are basically monopolized by the princes of the royal family.

The king of Chu also wanted Shang Xian, and Shang Xian was a good thing for the royal power. But Sang-hyun means that he has to turn against the nobles, and as the new king who has just succeeded to the throne, he needs enough time and prestige to deal with this matter slowly.

If it is not handled well, there have been many cases in the Chu State where the monarch has been jointly destroyed by the nobles.

It was just when there was nothing to be done, and there were confidants in Shangqiu City who were dealing with confidential matters, so they just took this opportunity to bypass this matter.

Back in the tent, the secret man had been brought in, and not many people had seen him.

It's just to discuss this kind of thing, and it can't be discussed by the king of Chu alone, and when he waited for the ink to come to the camp, he said a lot of words that planted deep contradictions, and the nobles were a little worried.

Some qualified nobles were present one by one, but the person in the heart of the city said, "This matter needs to be kept secret." ”

The king of Chu also knew that some things were difficult to say too clearly after all, but he was helpless, so he only said: "In the past, when the city was besieged, Zi Yan also knew about confidential matters, and they were all royal families, so there was no need to worry too much." ”

When the man saw that he could not change it, he offered some silk silks with some confidential words and seals on them, and the king of Chu only looked at them a few times, and then he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

This time the siege of the city, the king of Chu fought the idea of civil strife in Shangqiu.

If there is no civil strife, and there are ink people guarding the city, I am afraid that Shangqiu will not be able to take it.

Whether or not Shangqiu can be taken, in the eyes of the King of Chu, the key is when the Three Jin Dynasty will send troops.

Now that Zheng Han is anxious, the Qin people are attacking Xihe, and Zhao Wei has a gap, it can be delayed for at least half a year, but it can be a year at most.

If there is no chaos in the city, the king of Chu knows that it is impossible to break the city with the means of the ink to defend the city.

The confidant sent by the six Qings in the city is also a person who can speak well, if it is only in front of the king of Chu, some things can naturally be said more bluntly.

But in front of so many people, he said that the big Yin in the city was the first to eat human blood, and he couldn't say it after all.

He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Da Yin and others in the city are worried about Song Zhisheji. ”

"Song is a small state, but he is rude and has caused this disaster. However, it was Zitian who was rude to Chu, he couldn't keep the foundation internally, and he couldn't save the people from the suffering of the war, this is the king of mediocrity. ”

"Now the ink man helps to defend the city, but he can defend it to the end, but he is afraid of reproducing the scene of changing children and eating when he was the Duke of Wen. However, Zitian was dumbfounded, and would rather the people in the city suffer than form an alliance to surrender to Chu, and Da Yin was worried about the people, so he had this plan. ”

The king of Chu asked, "How long can the food in the city be supported?" ”

The man said: "It can be supported for a few months, and the ink has fine money and food, and the fine plan is evenly distributed, and it can be persevered." ”

He also talked about the distribution of grain by some of the Mo people in the city, and said that the king of Chu knew that this was true when he was levied on the grain and the treatment of those nobles who did not pay the grain.

Now that the people have been mobilized to requisition the grain and grass in Chu, coupled with the maturity of new wheat, it can also hold on for a long time, or it can last longer than the siege of Zhuang Gong back then.

However, every time you insist on a point here, the greater the variables, once the army is exhausted, the three Jin troops are dispatched, I am afraid that it will be another battle of Chengpu.

The king of Chu asked again: "How does Da Yin care?" ”

The confidant said: "Da Yin thinks that the foundation of the society and the ancestors is the most important, the people are protected from military disasters as the secondary, and the gains and losses of the princes are light. ”

"That's why Da Yin is ready to burn the grain in the city. If the food is insufficient, the people in the city can understand the stupidity of Zitian, and only then can they expel Zitian, so as to get close to Chu. ”

"This is a way to save the city from the tragedy of breaking bones and cooking, changing children and eating tragedies, and this is a means to benefit the ancestors of Sheji."

"The people are stupid, they can enjoy the results, but they can't let them think about the long-term and the beginning, so Da Yin made such a decision for the people in the city."

"After all, the people of the city don't know what to do to really benefit them."

"Da Yin only wishes that you don't take Song as a county!"

The king of Chu said solemnly: "The widow attacked the Song Dynasty this time because Zitian was rude, and he did not destroy the heart of the Song Dynasty, and the ghosts and gods can be learned!" ”

"The widow swears that if Shangqiu is broken, he will not follow the Chen and Cai affairs of the past!"

The meaning of the king of Chu is very clear, Chen and Cai Shi, before the county, there was a history of letting the heir of the prince of Chu concurrently serve as Chen Gong and Cai Gong.

In other words, the county is the bottom line.

On top of this bottom line, if the king of Chu is cunning, he can maintain the status of a state like Chen and Cai, but the king of Chu can concurrently serve as Chen Gong and Cai Gong, so as to complete the legal inheritance in the next generation.

It is said that it does not follow Chen and Cai's affairs, that is to say, it does not even have the idea of a communist federation, it is just a crusade that requires Song to be soft, admit defeat, be pro-Chu, and betray Jin.

This kind of thing needs to be admitted with one's own mouth, once the Chu people are in the county, then the nobles of the Song Dynasty will unite and resist strongly: the examples of Chen and Cai are in front of them, and not all of them can create family glory in the Qi country like Chen Tian.

When the confidant heard this, he said: "It's just that the Mo man guards the city and the government decree is strict, if you want to do this, you need your cooperation." ”

"If you can attack the city and make the ink people worry about the defense of the city, you can take advantage of the chaos in the city to burn the grain and grass."

The king of Chu nodded, but he didn't want to ask Youyin: "If it is reasonable to make peace outside, if you set fire to the city, and I attack the city outside the city, can't I capture Shangqiu?" ”

Hearing this, the King of Chu secretly said: "Stupid! If the Chu people break Shangqiu, how can the big Yin Liuqing deal with himself? They need to make the people of the city angry and riot and depose the king before they can form an alliance with us. They are not Chu people, how can you stand in the position of Chu people to see this? ”

It's just that these words are not easy to say, but fortunately, the people in the heart of the city are humane: "The rules of the ink are strict, even if there is a fire in the city, I am afraid that the city wall will still not be chaotic." Moreover...... If...... If you take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, I am afraid that the Xuanyi Department of the Mo will take the opportunity to confuse the people, and it will not be good at that time. ”

The King of Chu hurriedly said: "Yes, I know the rules of the ink man guarding the city, and I have also seen the benefits of those tongues. ”

"It's just...... There is no urgency. The time cannot be agreed. ”

If the time is agreed, there is a possibility of being reversed, and the Chu people will not take risks.

The confidant also said: "The time cannot be agreed. As long as the Chu people attack the city grandly, there will be opportunities in the city. When the fireworks in the city go up, it will not be long before the king of mediocrity can be abolished. ”

"It's just...... It's just that Da Yin is worried that Sanjin will send troops. ”

The King of Chu nodded, but he was noncommittal, he was not worried about the three Jin troops for the time being...... Even he thinks that even if he sends troops, it can only be Erjin, and whether Zhao Ren can send someone is a matter of two words.

The center of gravity of the Wei State is now in the Xihe, and in the land of the Jin Marquis who has not yet been fully divided, the hegemony of the Central Plains does not seem to be the general strategic direction for the time being, and at most it can only find a way to contain the Chu State.

And South Korea is the most worried about the alliance between the Chu people and the Song, Han Zheng originally had a grudge, if the Song people are close to Chu again, then the two enclaves of South Korea will all be exposed to the Chu people's soldiers.

Xiong Dang was considered a male lord, so he knew very well what the peer of Wei would think.

I'm afraid that Wei Si will now clap his hands at the Chu people surrounding the Song: South Korea can't support the trap of Chu, Song, and Zheng, and if it wants to survive, it can only rely on the Wei people as backup, so everything is based on the Wei people.

The internal contradictions within the Three Jin Dynasty cannot be resolved, but as long as the Zhao people are stuck in the south to the Central Plains; Let South Korea and Wei be the most solid ally of Wei, then Wei's strategic goal will be achieved.

The more the Chu people surrounded the Song Dynasty, the more worried Korea was, and the easier it was to be intimate with the Wei State.

And Han Wei's honeymoon also ensured that the Zhao people would not move south to attack Wei, and could only maintain the original state of the Three Jin Alliance.

The state of the Three Jin Alliance is a big hole for Zhao Guo.

Xihe was in the hands of Wei, Zhongshan was captured by Wei, and Zhao had to abide by the Three Jin Covenants, so he could only continue to give his own blood and help the Wei people become stronger.

The two cities of Zhongmu and Handan were stuck by Yecheng, and there were Ximen Leopards guarding them, the Wei people were strong, and the Zhao people had no chance of winning.

Faced with the Han-Wei Alliance, the Zhao people did not want to abide by the Three Jin Alliance, which was completely beneficial to the Wei State, and had to comply with it.

Therefore, the Wei people sent troops very slowly, very slowly, so slow that they would only send troops when Korea had no choice but to ask and hegemony could not be guaranteed if they did not send troops.

The king of Chu did not say anything about his opinion, but found another reason and said: "This matter cannot be rushed, now the wheat harvest is underway, if the army attacks the city at this time, it will delay the wheat harvest." If you can go back, then inform Da Yin that he thinks about the people of Shangqiu and the foundation of Song, which is what the Emperor of Heaven likes. It's just that this matter needs to be confidential, not rushed, and needs to be well prepared......"

The man shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to go back." It was a lot of trouble to get out of the city, and it was even more difficult to get back, and there were night watchmen at the head of the city, and someone had noticed it when I came. The strictness of the rules of the city is extraordinary. ”

"As long as you agree to this matter, I can only persuade you to advance the time, so as not to send reinforcements from the Three Jins. As for when, please also decide for yourself. ”

"If you agree, you can raise fires in a few places outside the city, and someone in the city will pass the news to Dayin. At that time, as long as you attack the city, as long as you attract the energy of the ink on the city wall, the city will have its own actions. ”

And where he will raise the fire, and how he will beat the drum, one by one.

The king of Chu also knew that the situation in the city was complicated, and Da Yin and the others not only had to beware of the ink man, but also had to beware of the counterattack of the Sicheng Emperor's family.

Although Si Chenghuang's power is great, it is on a par with Da Yin and others.

Once the grain was burned, Emperor Sicheng did not wait for the reinforcements of the Sanjin Dynasty, and the main battle must be held to the end, and when the people's grievances boiled, there was much to be done.

When this person went down to rest, all the nobles were happy, and they competed to celebrate and pray, and the king of Chu had a smile on his face, and he drank and feasted with everyone, but he was quite emotional in his heart.

Xiongcheng is like a commercial hill, which is difficult to break through from the outside, but the disaster of the wall is difficult to resist.

Now there are thousands of miles in Chu and hundreds and ten cities, and the momentum is huge, but the internal strife may not be better than that in Shangqiu City......

After drinking a bottle, I sighed secretly.
