Chapter 1118: The Army's Morale Is Weakened

Then the people of Chu couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to escape from such a land where people couldn't live anymore.

It is precisely because of this that it has led to the state of Chu, which is still considered to be a prosperous era of military power.

In the meantime, because of the desertion and impatience of the soldiers, it was impossible to assemble even a complete army.

I also thought that after the suppression of this uprising, the final situation in the territory of Chu State would be much better.

It is also because of this that the regent who will make his ability to hold power more profound. I heard the people below mention that now because of the previous suppression, the number of the entire Chu army has been drastically reduced.

Even because of the discouragement of the army, many people fled directly from the battlefield and defected to other lands.

Suddenly, the whole person was furious because of this, and directly in front of a group of civil and military officials, all the objects beside him were mercilessly thrown to the ground, making a huge and crisp collision and shattering sound.

"Rubbish! What a bunch of rubbish! This king wasted so much energy and effort to cultivate these troops, and now he has let this group of useless wastes flee directly as cowardly! ”

Because he had already smashed out the things that could be done next to him to vent his inner annoyance, he had completely smashed them out. As a result, the regent this time could only smash the dragon chair under him twice with both hands into fists, but there was nowhere to continue to vent.

It was really with his anger and scolding that the civil and military officials, who had already lowered their heads, had many people this time, because they were afraid that the regent's anger would involve them, so they lowered their heads so as not to be involved.

The anger in his eyes is like a substance, and even like the regent who will breathe fire in the next second, he vents his anger like this, just to let these ministers in front of him be able to extract a solution to the current situation.

But they didn't want him to get angry, so these ministers not only didn't mention any available methods, but also lowered their heads one by one, making a submissive and timid appearance.

This is naturally a way for the regent, who was already angry, to rush directly to the eyes of these civil and military officials after seeing such a picture, beat them up, and force them to come up with a solution.

Although the regent was indeed tyrannical, he had not been completely carried away by such annoyance, and he had committed such an act on the spot.

But his anger still did not subside by half a point, and then he looked directly at General Xi among the ministers, and the bearded minister Zeng Quan, who mentioned these words.

"Zeng Quan! You stand up to this king and tell me, how to solve it now?! It was you who mentioned this method at the beginning, but now it is to make the Chu State like this, if you can't solve this matter, this king will condemn you to a serious crime! ”

The named sheep's horn beard Dacheng Zeng Quan, suddenly trembled slightly.

But he quickly regained his composure, and then walked up without any fear and insistence, but was able to continue to speak calmly.

It was as if what the regent was saying to him now was not a grave crime. Just because he made a wrong decision, he reprimanded him a few words. …

"Your Majesty the Regent, the minister thinks that what he did before is nothing to do, if this is not the case, I am afraid that those rebels already have the ability to cause a bigger riot!"

Where could the Regent, in such a state of enragment, be able to hear such an explanation from him?

I just thought that this Zeng Quan was justifying the mistakes he had made.

Therefore, when he listened to these words of Zeng Quan, his eyes were full of anger, and he did not diminish by half a point. He had no intention of listening to his words of defense any longer, but glared at him angrily.

"King Zeng Quanben saw that you were really bold, but now that the situation has become like this, you still dare to defend yourself like this, do you really think that this king will not dare to do anything to you?!"

However, Zeng Quan here, except for the initial time when he was a little afraid because of the regent's anger, after he stood up, his face was very flat from beginning to end.

He never had any fear because of the regent's anger and the crime of cutting off his head, but he was still able to be so indifferent on his face.

But the more he looked like this, the more the regent here was dissatisfied and annoyed with him because of this.

However, this Zeng Quan was able to come to this position, and he was no longer an ordinary person, so even if he could clearly feel the regent's anger, and the desire to kill him and destroy his nine clans, he only took a few steps forward again, and his expression was not half a point of haste.

"Your Majesty the Regent, the minister really did not defend himself, although it is true that some soldiers in the court have fled, but this is equivalent to eliminating those cowardly and useless wastes. These people should be of no use, and my Chu State does not have to waste military salaries to raise these wastes. ”

I have to say that Zeng Quan was able to gain such trust from the regent, relying on this mouth, and he knew how to figure out the regent's thoughts, and he was able to speak according to what he thought in his heart.

As a result, the regent who was extremely annoyed with him and thought that he was defending himself after hearing Zeng Quan's words. Although the annoyed look on his face has not been half relaxed, he has a faint recognition in his heart.

Because in his opinion, the state of Chu has become like this now, and it is not because of him.

It's because these soldiers are useless, not only can't they conquer the territory for him, but even after such a thing, they choose to escape, so as Zeng Quan said, they are just cowardly waste.

Zeng Quan here saw that the anger on the regent's face did not change, but his attitude had eased a little, and then his face was also relaxed a little.

"Therefore, the minister thinks that His Majesty the Regent can take such a great opportunity to remove these useless wastes, and then recruit more available people to work for Your Majesty!"

It's just a few short words, and the regent here has softened a lot because of Zeng Quan's words.

It's all the more because after mentioning such a solution, he chose to believe him again.

"Now that most of the men in the Chu State have fled, how can they continue to recruit the troops who were in the same position as they were at the beginning?"

Even if this regent is just for his own use, he has never been so stupid that he can't even see the current situation clearly. Therefore, under such a situation, he naturally understands that the current Chu army has reached a point where it is extremely lacking, so it cannot be replenished.

But in the final analysis, most of the people of Chu have fled in this way, and there are still many reasons why the original soldiers have fled. In addition, coupled with the discouragement of the army, it is basically in a state of self-defeat.

At this time, it is extremely difficult and impossible to recruit some men to come in again and be soldiers of this Chu State.

It is precisely because of this that the regent here did not change because of what he said and his peace mind after hearing Zeng Quan's idea, but because of this, he was very irritable.

However, Zeng Quan was able to stand up and mention such a practice, naturally he had already thought of the role. So when he heard the regent's questioning, he was still very calm and obvious, and he looked like he had already taken a countermeasure.

"Your Majesty the Regent, don't worry so much, this is the time for your little majesty to come into play. Although it is true that there are many people in this Chu State because of the current situation, as long as the little emperor is pushed out, and some laws are reformulated to meet the ambitions of these people, it is enough to achieve the goal you want to achieve, Your Majesty Regent. ”

The regent, who heard Zeng Quan's words, couldn't help frowning.

There was a bit of distrust in his words and expressions, "Why do you want the little emperor to come forward with this king?" Now that he is the regent, why can't this king come forward?! ”

Although it is said that the current regent has indeed taken all the imperial power into his own hands. But in the end, in terms of such things, in fact, he still minds very much.

After all, before his so-called majesty title, he still had the title of a regent, so he was not the real emperor of Chu State.

Zeng Quan here saw that he had done so far, and he still cared about these things, only feeling that he was overwhelmed and very incompetent.

But even if he thinks like this in his heart, it is naturally impossible to show the slightest thought on his face.

"His Majesty the Regent is naturally doing this to appease the ambitions of these people."

Zeng Quan didn't directly mention that he was like this, and the regent couldn't completely replace the emperor, but after he said such a sentence.

It was already equivalent to beating around the bush and mentioning such a point, so that even if the regent was annoyed in his heart, he cared about this matter.

In the end, in order to take into account the overall situation, I still chose to default.

After all, in the final analysis, in the current situation, seeing that the Chu State could not continue to let him rule under his control.

Naturally, the regent will be very anxious about this, and he wants to try his best to regain his face, so as not to lose his prestige.
