Chapter 1025: Destroying Chu (7)
When the secret agent room was at a loss, it was the Yi'an Chamber of Commerce that sent relevant information in a timely manner.
As soon as the information was obtained, the General's Mansion sorted out and analyzed it all night, and finally came up with some clues, but everyone present showed shocked or dignified expressions, and there was silence for a long time.
"Join forces to defeat the King of Chu?"
"Whose hand is this?"
......
Yes, after analyzing many sources, it is very likely that the Four Kings are plotting an alliance to defeat Chu!
This is really a speculation that everyone expected, and if it comes true, it will definitely become a major event that shocks the world.
Because the king of Chu, who was conspired by the four kings, was not only one of the six kings with the most hope of winning the championship, but also the most favored of the six kings.
Thousands of years ago, the king of Qin was Chu recorded in the official history, and in the thousands of years of war before Qin, the largest and most powerful country was also called Chu. Therefore, the word Chu has always had an extraordinary meaning. If the title is customized, it is even more extraordinary, and it is simply clear that he is the successor who is most favored by the current emperor.
In fact, the king of Chu is exactly like this, the king of Chu is the eldest son of the dynasty, and he is the crown prince in some dynasties. However, the king of Chu himself is not a mediocre talent, since he was a child, he has been passed on the name of a prodigy with quick thinking and subtle knowledge, like a divine gift, the key is to be young and old, humble and studious, and he has been particularly favored by the world since he was a child.
His mother is the queen, and she is a powerful woman in the world, who helped him teach and manage early, and helped him pave the way according to the template of the perfect prince, so before the battle for the prince began, Prince Chu could be said to have an advantage.
However, just like the word of his title, if the pre-Qin states competed for power in the long years, the Chu State, which had maintained the largest and strongest territory among the countries from the beginning, was finally won by the sudden outbreak of the Qin State. If the world is in turmoil after the collapse of the first Qin, the army of the self-proclaimed King of Chu has the potential to sweep the world, and it is doomed for everyone to destroy Chu Ji in the end.
The fate of Prince Chu is really like the two previous lives of Chu Yizi. He had a great advantage at the beginning, and everyone thought that he would become the prince, but when it really came to the previous prince dispute, he met the prince of Zhen who was born out of thin air, and he was defeated in a big battle, becoming the strongest stepping stone to support the prince of Zhen.
This Chu character seems to have great magic, and the people and things it is contaminated with always have a strong sense of pathos, giving people a feeling of inescaping fate.
The last time the battle for the crown prince ended brilliantly, Prince Zhen became the crown prince, and Prince Chu, who was the eldest son, fell off the altar and was no longer cared for. But no one expected that the brilliant Prince Zhen was assassinated a few years after he became the crown prince, and when the dust settled, Prince Chu quietly returned to everyone's sight.
In secret, there have long been rumors that have spread wildly to the government and the opposition, only to say that the former Prince of Prince Zhen was assassinated, and the queen and Prince Chu never gave up, and they made great efforts behind them. I have to say that this rumor is extremely probable, after all, as soon as the former Prince Zhen died, there was indeed no one among the many princes who could no longer compete with Prince Chu, and Prince Chu's reason to make a move was too sufficient.
However, rumors are rumors, after all, there is no real evidence to be caught, and the court directly pointed out that the crown prince died in the assassination of Beihu, so naturally it could not shake the Prince of Chu in the slightest.
As the Prince of Chu who competed with the Prince of Zhen to the end, he was only defeated by the powerful Prince Zhen, and after the death of the Prince of Zhen, he really stood on the highest peak of the royal family again, and returned to the position where no one could compare with the Great Xia.
This time, the battle for the crown prince was started again, and Prince Chu was the most powerful, and he put on a posture of who was in the community from the beginning. Up to now, he sits in the land of Central Ludezhou, encroaching on most of the surrounding land, attacking fierce Hu outside, attacking the princes inside, commanding millions of male soldiers, and countless talented and brave generals.
If there are no accidents, Prince Chu will quickly swallow up the rest of the princes in the same Dezhou, and be strong all the way to the end, and finally sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.
In the previous battle for the crown prince, it was the rising Prince Zhen who withstood the pressure and defeated the Prince of Chu in a dignified manner. In this battle for the crown prince, even if the other five kings are not weak and can be on the same stage as Prince Chu, but in real comparison, none of the five parties can be compared with Prince Chu alone, and the gap is amazing.
And Prince Chu, who has experienced a failure, has changed his temperament greatly, and this time he is steady and steady, putting on a posture of slowly drawing, obviously making up his mind to use the safest way to sit on the throne of the crown prince. This is the most flawless way to play, and if it goes on like this, no one can catch his flaws, so he will stand up for victory early.
Now the princes in other places are fine, but the two who are in the same state as the Prince of Chu have long been unable to sit still. They are adjacent to the Prince of Chu, although they are still in the period of their respective expansion and annexation of the surrounding weak princes, but the strength shown by the Prince of Chu has brought them rolling pressure, if they can't find any way to stop it, they will inevitably be swallowed by the Prince of Chu.
Therefore, the initiators of this secret discussion were these two, who sent envoys to the fourteenth prince of Fengzhou on the left road, Prince Luo, to understand and move with affection, just for the alliance to fight Chu.
Yes, one of the six kings who is located in Fengzhou and gradually has the tendency to dominate Fengzhou is the "White Fourteen" that Liu Heng met in his early years, and he was the fourteenth prince of the dynasty. In the face of lobbyists, the general trend is so clear, if it is not curbed, after Prince Chu annexes the other two queens in Dezhou, his power will inevitably skyrocket again, and there will really be no opponent, and then it will be the turn of Prince Luo, the fourteenth prince. These three kings are already in a relationship of cold lips and teeth, so in the face of the envoys sent by the two kings, Prince Luo did not hesitate for long, and quickly released an intentional response.
Originally, the three parties had agreed that they were going to meet in secret, but there was news from Prince Luo's side, saying that he should call the only one left among the six kings, that is, the newly soaring General Yuezhou Jin.
The other two kings were not familiar with this Jin general, and their origins were always criticized by the two kings, and they were compared to him, so they were reluctant to hear about it at first. In their opinion, such a reckless character, with an improper name and a vulgar style, is at most only a temporary glory and will not last long, and it is better not to pull into the alliance, so as not to increase much strength, not to mention, but also to increase the risk of leaking news and so on, which is especially not worth it.
However, Prince Luo's opinion was surprising, and it was very different from that of the other two kings. He was particularly insistent on General Larkin joining the alliance, and even called it an old friend, and he must live and die together, advance and retreat together, otherwise he would rather lose than participate in the alliance.
From Prince Luo's unusual attitude, the two kings felt something strange. They won't take Prince Luo's statement seriously at this moment, after all, Prince Luo was fine before, but seeing General Jin's strong rise, his attitude changed greatly, and the so-called old friendship is too realistic.
However, from the great change in Prince Luo's attitude, the other two kings vaguely noticed Prince Luo's jealousy and importance to General Jin.
What is the most taboo thing about plotting such a big thing?
It is the snipe and the clam that fight, and the fisherman profits.
The three kings of them fought with the Prince of Chu in full swing, leaving an opportunity for other princes to take advantage of the situation, and in the end, one Prince of Chu fell and several "Prince of Chu" stood up, which was more than worth the loss.
In today's pattern, the six kings are the greatest, and the power of the six sides has opened a huge gap with other princes, so there is no need to worry too much about this. In the eyes of the two kings, the only one among the six kings, Jinyue Prefecture, has risen suddenly, and there are still many gaps between its reputation and the other five parties, and it is located in a remote area, so there is no need to worry about it. However, Prince Luo's statement made them have to be vigilant, and after a brief discussion, they agreed to Prince Luo's recommendation.
Indeed, since he is called the Six Kings, he should no longer underestimate this Jinyuezhou, if he isolates Jinyuezhou from major events, lest he end up making a wedding dress for him, so he must be pulled in!
This was the inference that Bai Mingze and other strategists jointly came up with based on the information they obtained, which made them discuss it intensively for a long time and did not respond immediately.
A group of strategists had a huge disagreement between agreeing and not agreeing.
"If we refuse, let the three kings fight the prince of Chu together, we can take the opportunity to grow stronger, and when the war is over, no matter who wins or loses, we are already invincible!" said one of the strategists.
The other side did not let us go at all, "Since the three kings have invited, it has proved that they have regarded us as a threat, if they don't agree, how dare the three kings continue to join forces to attack the king of Chu while we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Once the plan to defeat Chu fails, the prince of Chu will inevitably continue to sit big, and no one can compete with it, and the general trend has gone after that!"
"If there is a deficiency in the way of heaven, how can it be logical, that is, let the king of Chu sit big, and he can really sit on the throne of the crown prince like this? I think it doesn't hurt to let him sit big, just wait for the variables, and then we will see the opportunity to act." The current dispute between the crown prince has only been open for more than four months, and it is still early, so why rush for a while? On the contrary, at this moment, the success or failure of the matter of marrying Chu is still unknown, and the risk is too great, I am afraid that there is no need for this. ”
"Huh, wait for the variables?" a strategist sneered when he heard this, "Mr. Wang, have you ever thought that maybe we are the variables, if we don't move, the variables will disappear by themselves, and what is it if we don't give up the position of the crown prince to the king of Chu?" Mr. Wang also said that the time is still early, if the king of Chu is really the dominant family, do you dare to guarantee that this prince dispute will not end early?"
"Even if there are no variables, my Ten Days City is now prosperous, even if I don't take the wrong path, I can still sit on the throne of the prince in a dignified manner, why take the risk at this time?"
"If others succeed in the Heavenly Dao, if I want to succeed in the Ten Days City, can I be able to complete the Heavenly Dao? How can there be such a good thing in the world? If we don't seize any opportunity, take appropriate risks, and grab all the benefits that can be obtained, nothing will fall on the general's head!"
"Is this a proper risk? How much risk is there, Brother Li doesn't know it?"
......
Although the dispute is only about whether to agree or not to agree in two directions, the reason is that each strategist has his own ideas, so it becomes a pot of porridge, and there is no conclusion for a long time.
In the end, Liu Heng personally made the decision, sent a message, sent someone to discuss in detail first, and then decided, which was equivalent to temporarily shelving the discussion in the future, which eliminated this seemingly never-ending controversy.
Liu Heng thought that no matter how he said this, he could drag on for a while, but he didn't expect that now not only the envoys of the three kings had entered Yuezhou, but also the envoys of one side were also rushing here day and night.
That's right, the envoy who surprised everyone in Ten Days City was sent by Prince Chu, and his intention was self-evident, and he must have heard the rumors and came to be a lobbyist.
The envoys of the four kings, each divided into two ends, came to win Liu Heng to join the gang, which seemed to put Liu Heng in a very calm position, but it was not. This means that Liu Heng has no possibility of staying out of the matter, and must make an either/or choice, otherwise the alliance will not be Prince Chu but him.
"I don't allow anyone to refuse you when you need to do so, but if you need to cooperate, you must obey your orders, including me. Liu Heng did not hesitate to give Zhao Yi a lot of power, so that Zhao Yi himself was stunned, randomly endured his excitement, and retreated.
Immediately afterwards, he was a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer, and he squeezed to the front with his physique stronger than all the strategists, "General Qiyu, now our soldiers and horses have exceeded 700,000, and there are tens of millions of subjects, but this place has been forcibly occupied by Beihu for many years, and has long been turned into a grazing land. ”
Liu Heng looked at Bai Mingze, Bai Mingze groaned slightly, "What Mr. Cao said is good, the grain and grass are only enough for two months, this is still ...... The Chamber of Commerce is still in the case of supply. ”
The middle-aged man who was called Mr. Cao said when he heard this, "Relying on the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce is not a long-term solution after all, General, agriculture is the great plan of a country, if it is neglected, there will be chaos." ”
Liu Heng frowned, "If I remember correctly, I got a report on this matter two months ago, and it was indeed my negligence." ”
He also knew the importance of agriculture, but these days, other things had taken up most of everyone's energy, and if it weren't for the grass from the farmer's house, he would have forgotten about it.
"The general is not guilty, it is our negligence, and please punish the general!" Hearing him admit his mistake, everyone was panicked and hurriedly confessed in unison.
Liu Heng waved his hand to let them get up, "There is no need to engage in all this red tape, I am not so mediocre that I can't tell whose fault it is, this matter was originally not taken care of, but now it is imminent, thanks to Mr. Cao." From today onwards, Mr. Cao is fully responsible for this matter, and will come up with a charter as soon as possible, send it to me for review as a priority, implement it as soon as possible, and resolve this matter. ”
After saying this, Cao Yi had just been ordered to retreat, and before the others rushed to Liu Heng, they had already come to the gate of the small hall of the guest house.
"General, this is my senior brother Gu Ningqi. ”
Seeing the middle-aged scribe waiting under the gate of the courtyard, Huang Rushi hurried to Liu Heng's side, introduced the person to Liu Heng, and urged the person to come: "Senior brother, haven't you seen the general yet?"
