Xiong Jing returned to Shouying not only because of the alliance, but also because of the alliance with the king of Xinyue and the king of Zhuyue. In addition, his wife went to Xinying, and his son kept crying, and he, as a father, always had to fulfill his obligations for a few days and hold the child for a few days. It's just that after some discussion, the problem between Chu and Yue is very easy to discuss, it is nothing more than the conditional return of this piece of Yue land north of the Qiantang River and south of Jiaxing, which originally belonged to Chu State, to the Yue people, and what is really difficult is the political system and laws within the Yue people.

Once the power of the Yue people is centralized internally, the next step will definitely be external expansion, and at least the Wu Zhu will want to repeat the territory of the Yue State when it was strong and prosperous in the past. Originally, the monarch of Zhuyue was the power to balance the king of Yue, but the king of Zhuyue was also the king of Xiaoyue, who lived on people. They are not small tribes like the Miao and Tai people, they are the scattered descendants of the Yue Kingdom, and they have the elements of the Zhou people's hierarchy at their roots.

It is absolutely impossible to ask the kings of the Yue to be guilty of the same crime as the Yue people. Even the Chu people themselves, if they were not facing the crisis of losing the country, it would be impossible to carry out the Ao system, and it would be even more impossible to perform the Chu ceremony. Only when everything he has is lost, can Chu people change their minds and return to the way they were before Shang Zhou.

The alliance is uncertain, the new alliance of Zhuyue has been postponed, Xiong Jing plans to hold his son for a few days and then return to the Kaifeng shogunate, don't let me hurry to the main bed, he is not alone, but with Nao cunning, Li and the three.

"Captain Qin has gone to work!" Don't let me speak in a flat tone, but the words I speak are not flat at all.

The captain of Qin was the planner and executor of Qin's foreign strategy, and he insisted on destroying Zhao because of his promotion. Chu and Zhao, one south and one north, are horns of each other, and it is necessary to destroy one of them before breaking this pair of horns. The destruction of Zhao paid a great price, if it were not for the surprise of the war boat in Tianchi Daze to recover the situation, the Qin State would probably have perished.

Even so, Qin's strategy cannot be said to be wrong. If the Qin State did not choose to destroy Zhao but to destroy Chu, then now the Qin State has destroyed at most half of the Chu State, and then the two sides are deadlocked on the Jianghuai line. After the Zhao State solves the internal crisis, it will grow rapidly, and it is impossible for the world to be unified by the Qin State. The Qin State destroyed Zhao, served Qi, and swallowed Wei, and the rest of the world was under its control except for Jiuying and Chu Dongdi. Qin Guo poured almost all the resources of the world to destroy Chu, and it was possible to destroy Chu.

What will be the impact of the resignation of such a person who formulated Qin's long-term strategy for foreign affairs?

"I smell it," said Li, his Adam's apple twitching, his eyes eager. "The king of Qin wants to make Wang Jian attack me, and the captain of Qin persuades him."

"Is that really the case?" Xiong Jing was stunned before, but now he is surprised.

"Yes, yes." There is no way to do it. However, this news is not accurate, so I dare not present it to Da Ao. The king of Qin was anxious to kill Chu, but Wang Jian thought that our army was sharp, and he must not fight with me quickly, but should delay the battle with me, and wait for our army to be tired......"

"Wang Jian is vicious!" Xiong Jing took a deep breath.

The 100,000 Chu army may not be able to repeat the victory in Weinan. Of course, the battle of Weinan was because of the Qin people's mistake in arranging the formation, and Zhao Zhengchangqi suddenly retreated during the war, which was the collapse. The two armies really fought quickly in Kaifeng, and the sharp courage of the Chu army was sure to break the Qin army, and then the Qin people were afraid of the courage of the Chu army, and the two sides faced off for a long time; And if you wait for the Chu soldiers to be exhausted, and wait for half of the migration to run out of grain, and the generals can only eat sweet potatoes before fighting, the Chu army is afraid that it will not be able to fight.

"Wei Yi is gone, Wang Jian may also be dismissed, and the Qin people will attack me!" Nao's eyes narrowed, as if he was staring at something. The hall was empty, and there was nothing on the red pepper wall.

The minister thought that ...... "Don't let me and Li get excited." Our army should withdraw from Kaifeng. ”

"Exit Kaifeng?" Xiong Jing looked at him. "The Qin people are going to attack me, why do you want to quit Kaifeng?"

"It is precisely because the Qin people attacked me that I had to pretend to be weak and withdraw from Kaifeng with the whole army." And confident. "If I retreat and the Qin people don't advance, the king of Qin will reprimand the Qin generals. If the Qin generals advance, there will be no Daze south of Kaifeng, and the two armies will fight. Therefore, the minister thinks that our army should retreat, and it should retreat! ”

"Reasonable." The squinting Nao sly nodded again and again, and also nodded to Xiong Jing.

"Then where should our army retreat?" Xiong Jing did not say that what Li He said was unreasonable, nor did he immediately agree to Li Ji's proposal. He knew his generals very well, and there was no problem with the advance of those proud soldiers, and retreating was tantamount to killing them.

"As long as you don't enter the Chu realm, you can retreat, but Da Ao needs to talk to each other in person." Li also knows the characteristics of the Chu army, and he can advance but not retreat. If you really want to retreat, nine times out of ten it will be a rout, not a retreat. "In the opinion of the ministers, the best one is determined to be south of Chen Ying......"

"Chen Ying must not." Xiong Jing shook his head without thinking about it, this is to put the Qin people into the Chu State, and the generals will never agree.

"If you don't let the Qin people enter the Chu realm, how can you chase the Qin people after a big defeat?" Li said. "And if the Qin people don't enter the Chu realm, how can Daliang contain the Qin people? There are also Koreans, this year, all the acres of land in Korea are officially owned, and the Korean nobles almost want to rebel against them. ”

"Qu Guang once told that the Mexican people rioted. If I fight with the Qin army, the Mo people should kill the doctor and attack Qin. "Don't let me mention the Qi Kingdom. The state of Qi was surging against the current, and the merchants and farmers became more and more dissatisfied with the Qin people.

"Really?" Qi people also dare to attack Qin? Xiong Jing couldn't believe it.

"The Qin people wasted the money of their sons and mothers, seized the land of the people and awarded it to the sergeants and soldiers of the army, and the merchants, farmers, and propertied families were all angry." Don't talk to me. In fact, these messages have already been announced, but Xiong Jing did not pay much attention to them. He thought that there was no hope for the Qi State, and the Qi people only hoped that the Chu State would support it for a few more years and finally fall to the Qin State, but he was just using the situation of the Chu State to trap the Qi State.

In order to curb the money of the mother and the child, Guan Zhong had ordered Bin Xu Wu, Xi Peng, Ning Qi, and Uncle Bao to explore the south, north, east and west, and the loan house at that time was 'more than a thousand bells, less than six or seven hundred bells', and the annual interest rate of the loan was 100 percent in the west, 50 percent in the south and east, and 20 percent in the north.

This was the case in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 400 years ago, and when it came to the Warring States Period, the money was even more prosperous. Meng Weijun Tianwen only had an interest of more than 100,000 yuan; The Tian family, who won the country on behalf of the Lu family, the way to curry favor with the people is to 'loan with the amount of money from the family and collect it with the amount of the public', lending it with the big bucket at home and collecting the accounts with the small bucket of the public family, and the money of the son and mother has affected the regime change of the Qi State.

Whoever moves the money of the Qi people is the sworn enemy of the Qi State's propertied family. They were more numerous than the Tian nobles, from court officials to butchers, smugglers, and farmers.

Xiong Jing was still thinking about the situation in Qi Kingdom, and Li Ji had already said: "If you can retreat to Chen Ying's ......, you can fight in the east of the chasm, with your back to Shashui, in case the Qin cavalry hooks my back." ”

"Shashui?" Shashui Xiongjing knew that the sand water flowed through Chen Ying and was part of Chen Ying's moat. This section of Chen Ying's sand water flows in the west-east, southeast, and southeast, and only turns southward at Ziwu (now south of Luyi County), which is still dozens of miles away from the water, and the river is almost as horizontal as the river. It is not easy to find a battlefield that can quickly accommodate 700,000 people in the Huaishang, which is crisscrossed by Mizusawa.

"Yes, yes." Chang Jiang had already found the map, and Li pointed to the map and said. When he wanted to say something, he stammered for a long time and suddenly turned to Xiong Jing again, pleading: "If the Qin people can enter Shouying, they will be defeated, and the country will not have to worry about it." ”

"Shou Ying?!" This time, it was not only Xiong Jing, but even Nao Cunning and Don Ji surprised me. Daliang is nine hundred and seventy miles away from Shouying, if the Qin army can go deep into Shouying, this is of course very good, but the generals will definitely not agree.

"Kill me!" Xiong Jing looked at him helplessly. Dongdi is the hometown of the generals of the Chu army, not the nominal Chu land of Jiuying. The last time the Qin people were allowed to enter the country was when Xiang Yan gathered the whole army to block the news, and the generals did not know that the Qin army had invaded the Song land in the Chu realm. This time, they knew everything, and they couldn't do it at all to let the young Qin army advance to Shouying safely.

"If I retreat to Shouying, I will defeat the Qin army, and the state of Chu will not die." He emphasized. He looked at Nao and Beyi again, hoping to get their support. "This is a pain for a while, not a pain for a lifetime."

"No, I can't." Nao sly, with a helpless look, said that he couldn't support it.

"Can't, or don't want to?" He doesn't give up. "The common people of Huaishang can retreat to the south of Huaishui, and the former ......"

"I can't, and I don't want to. The common people need a boat to move south, and there is no boat at this time; It is also the spring planting, the Qin army of 600,000 soldiers, although according to the Yingshui march, the march is not fast, Hou in Huaishui for a long time, what kind of acres of land? If you don't plant, how to carry grain to avoid relocation? Nao said slyly. And the Qin people have war boats, which can go to the east of Yingshui or to the west of Yingshui......"

Nao Cunning could not imagine the scene of allowing the 600,000 army to advance to Shouying, which was equivalent to saying that the cities and villages in Huaishang would be completely swallowed up by the Qin army. Li Xin entered Fangcheng because of revenge, but other Qin generals were not Li Xin. Wang Qian's war letter has already penetrated a similar threat, if he does not fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, the result of the Qin army entering Chu will be a fierce year and thorns everywhere.

"That's all it takes!" Xiong Jing drew a line in the sand water, which is the last position.

"If it stops there, our army is small, and it can be broken and cannot be destroyed." What he thinks of is annihilation, not simple defeat. "After this battle, the Qin people will definitely come again. At that time......"

Not to mention what happened at that time, Xiong Jing also knew that there was no consequence of annihilating the Qin army. This time the Chu army still has 100,000 people, will the next time the Chu army still have 100,000 people? The Qin army is 600,000 armor soldiers this time, and there will definitely be 600,000 armor soldiers next time. Most of the world and 20 million ordinary people are under the rule of Qin, and there is no shortage of Ding Zhuang in Qin.

In my report, the Shaofu of the Qin State, which had regained control of the waterways, not only built war boats day and night, but also built three-oared transport boats day and night. If this development continues, soon the three or four million Ding strong parts that were previously used for transportation will be liberated and flooded into the Qin army, and the Chu soldiers will find that the Qin army will not be able to kill it at that time.

"If the sky wants to die, what can I do?" Xiong Jing sighed. The Chu army has the restrictions of the Chu army, if the proud Chu soldiers can retreat to Shouying, then those servants who do not have military rations and armor would have enlisted in the army and become a member of the Chu army.
