Chapter fifty-six audience

"The king is so wise, can you ask if there is any plan for the king?" Qu Sui, the doctor of Sanlu, who had been silent, sighed after looking at the map. Even if the seven countries restored the country, the territory of Chu was reduced by two-thirds, and an old minister like him could not accept it at all.

Qu Sui asked, and the other ministers also looked over and wanted to know what plans the king had. Xiong Jing said, "Whether other plans are feasible or not depends on time. Time does not wait for me, so what can we do?" After saying this, he said again: "If all the people of our Chu State devoutly believe in the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they can fight for Taiyi? However, only the Chu people believe in Taiyi, Yue people, Lu people, Song people, Chen people, and Huaiyi, each of them believes in their own gods. It will be difficult to unify within ten years. Since they cannot be unified, they will naturally not be able to fight for the gods."

"We will not give up the seven countries, and we will send people to tell the common people, saying: You are from Chu, can you?" Qu Sui didn't give up and asked again.

Before Xiong Jing could answer, the other ministers shook their heads. There were many ethnic groups under the rule of Chu, with completely different customs and different languages. They were also tigers, the Chu people were called "Ban", the Yi people were called "Yu Tu", and the Yue people were called "Dun". In addition to scholars who had learned elegant language, they could also communicate with each other, and the various ethnic groups simply had language barriers.

The Chu people assimilated other tribes only in the upper class scholars and nobles, and the Zhou people assimilated the Chu people only in the upper class scholars and nobles. Once they arrived in the towns and villages, the common people still spoke Chu language, but they still practiced Chu customs - the different seats of men and women are Zhou rituals, but even the Chu nobles still had the same seats for hundreds of years, and they had not changed at all.

If the Chu people did not fully learn the etiquette of the Central Plains, so the barbarians did not get rid of their habits, then what about Lu? Lu was the marquis of Zhou. Since the beginning of the founding of the country, the Zhou rituals were performed. Great Confucians such as Confucius and Mencius also came from Lu. In this kind of Zhou rituals, the powerful minister Yang Hu was also "the alliance duke and the three Huans in the Zhou Society, and the alliance people in the Boshe."

The Zhou Society was naturally the society of Zhou Li, and Duke Ding of Lu and Sanheng were nobles, and they allied in the Zhou Society. However, the people of the country did not ally with the Zhou Society, but the people of the country were ally with the Hao Society. What is the Hao Society? The Hao Society was a society of the Shang Dynasty. The Yin people usually worshiped the Hao Society, but naturally they allied in the Hao Society. The people of Lu were not Yin people, but the people of the Yi people, and the people of the Yin people share the same ethnic customs, so they also had the Hao Society.

Dongyi, Baiyue, Sanmiao, Pu people, Ba people... Before the Zhou people took up the Shang Dynasty, before the Chu people moved to Jingshan, there were already many ethnic groups in the land of China. The Zhou people's feudal division was essentially no different from colonization. The colonized Wei, the colonized Duke Yi of Wei died in battle, and the colonized Wei people fled in a cowardly battle. Although Confucius was born after hundreds of years, they still had to "allies in Boshe". They had not assimilated for hundreds of years, how could they assimilate with the words "You are a Chu people"?

Qu Sui finally felt that he had thought it was simple and shook his head repeatedly. Xiong Jingze said: "It is necessary to follow his customs, compile histories, and teach his texts, otherwise he will not be able to become his clan. If he does not become his clan, why fight? Why do he die?

There are five plans for the present: one is to avoid overseas and attack them and return to their laziness; the second is to restore the country and help them become their clan; the third is to refer to Qin and practice commercial laws; the fourth is to believe in the Eastern Emperor and fight for the gods; the fifth is to follow the old system and kill the enemy with great iron.

The first strategy is to use the power of the entire Chu State to only carry hundreds of thousands of tribes to go out to sea to avoid them, and the common people are not allowed to migrate. Instead of this, it is better to allow them to restore their country, help them to become their tribes, and lead their people to fight with the Qin army. The third strategy is to refer to the Qin State and to practice the commercial law. It is not feasible to believe in the Eastern Emperor and fight for the Gods. The reason is the same, and the time does not wait for me. The business law must be carried out to abolish the county magistrates and abandon the nobles. The whole country is turbulent and will be defeated without attack. The Eastern Emperor is the god of our Chu people, the people of Lu, the people of Song, the people of Chen, the people of Yue, and the people of Huaiyi.

As for the fifth strategy, after Qin swallowed the Three Jins, eight of the world had occupied eight of them, and could be used to enlist Dingkou to be as little as 25 million. With the human and material resources of the whole world, if you have no determination to die, you will be defeated without fighting. The giant soldiers, stone casting chariots, Jing crossbows... No matter how good the soldiers are, there must be a man who dares to fight. If there is no, he will be sent to the Qin people for free.

All the ministers have no satisfactory solution, only the best solution." Xiong Jing unconsciously used the term, but fortunately everyone could understand it. After saying that, he shook his head and said, "The biggest lesson of the Chu people is that they have not tried their best to give birth to their children for eight hundred years!"

Xiong Jing finally laughed at himself that most of the former lands of Jianghan were Chu people, but those people had become Qin people. Because of this, Chu culture had to find a way to penetrate into the former land of Jianghan, and fight a bloodless cultural propaganda war in the former land of Jianghan, so that more than one million Chu people in Jianghan understood that they were Chu people, not Qin people. The Chu army would attack Wan County before the demise of Zhao and fight with the Qin army. Win, take back the old land and rescue the tribe; lose, move the people to Jiangdong, expand the tribe, and fight again later.

"I dare to ask the king, what if Qin didn't attack me?" Shen Yin-Ying thought of another possibility. "If Qin did not attack me, the countries would restore their country fifteen years later, how could our Chu people establish? Or if Qin's army attacked me, but the State of Zhao was destroyed in the twenty years of Qin, and in the ten years of Han and Wei were destroyed..."

"The State of Zhao is at the end of its strength, and Han and Wei are not alive every day." The military matters major Ma Naojiu had the most say. "The strong army of Zhao was destroyed in Changping, but the army of Dai County survived. If Qin attacked repeatedly and attacked in spring and defended in autumn, it would not be a worry for the destruction of Zhao in ten years."

"Will my State of Chu not save me?" Dazai Shen Yin-hwa turned the problem back to reality again, "If you don't save me, there is no justice!"

Xiong Jing and Naojiu looked at each other after hearing this. In addition to them, only Luyang Jun, Xiang Yan and Peng Zong knew about the counterattack plan of Chu. To be precise, they could not be called a plan, but just an idea, although this idea is gradually advancing.

"If Chu and Zhao are not connected, what if they are saved?" Nao asked. After knowing the counterattack plan, Zhao State was destined to sacrifice, otherwise how could Qin State relax its vigilance? Moreover, the domestic political system changes and the political situation is not stable, it is impossible to make a big move at all.

"It can be said that in the Wei State, the countries of the Union have joined the Zong." Shen Yin-Ying was still thinking about the Union.

"The King of Wei has followed the Qin envoy Yao Jiazhi and will no longer join forces with our Chu State, but Zhao State." Naojiu told the news he received yesterday, and he had reported this to Xiong Jing.

"Ah!" Shen Yin-Yellow was immediately stunned. After being surprised, he said anxiously: "That is, even if the Wei State is not in harmony with the rule of law, our Chu and Zhao will work together to make the Qin people frightened. King, the Qin army attacked me, Zhao State save me, Qin State attacked Zhao, and Qin State should also save Zhao."

"All things will be discussed after seeing the envoys of the two countries." Xiong Jing had no choice. He had fewer choices, and the ropes around his neck were tighter and tighter. Whether it was a king who was destroyed or a lord of revival depends on his actions in the past ten years.

*

The Chu State's court discussed for seven days. The envoys of Qin and Zhao countries in the inn were anxious. Without Feixun, they still didn't know that the King of Wei had followed Yao Jiazhi's statement and did not merge with Chu and Zhao countries. Wei State did not merge with Han, and Yan State naturally did not merge with Yan State. Every time these two countries merged with each other, they were a role in playing soybeans. The alliance was not because they had the help of combat power, but to make Wei and Zhao countries have no worries.

Two days before the previous king was buried, there was a Zhao envoy Wei Jia who thought that "the envoy was rarely seen like a ghost, and the king was rarely seen like a heavenly emperor." Qin envoy Xiong Qi finally met the envoy of the King of Chu. One in front and the other behind, accompanied by the envoy, and went to the Chu Palace to meet the King of Chu.

Wei Jia's words were not surprising. In addition to his long discussion on how necessary and how good the alliance was, he also wanted the Jing crossbow, the giant iron, the fire-shot weapon, the Feixun.... It was not surprising that he wanted these things. However, when Zhaoshu asked him what he would pay for, he said that the situation between Zhao and Chu was as brothers as brothers.

After ascending the throne, this was Xiong Jing's first look at the court. The ministers below the steps looked like black nails. He looked at these nails, and these nails also looked at him. Because Xiong Jing had broken his hair, Nail's eyes were even more surprised and puzzled.

"I know what Zhao envoy said, so please go back to the inn to rest for a while." Xiong Jing did not wear mourning clothes, but white clothes and plain clothes, looking at the court with leather clothes.

"Please ask the king to continue the will of the ancestors of your country, and to eliminate Qin and join Zhao." Wei Jia not only refused to take it but took two steps forward, which was unpleasant.

"The former king had to save Zhao and never joined Zhao, so how could he talk about his will?" Xiong Jing sneered. He felt that if Wei Jia was closer, he might have pressed his sword like Mao Sui and forced the king to join Zhao.

Wei Jia first met Xiong Jing, but he didn't care. How could the Weilong kid swore a swearing in front of the formation and fight side by side? Others believed that he only thought this was a myth made up by the Chu people. At this time, he was a little surprised to see Xiong Jing's sharp mouth.

"The king is wrong. The Qin army attacked Chu. When I heard about it, I sent 200,000 troops to rescue me, so the Qin army retreated. What I thought was that Zhao and Chu had not yet joined, but it was actually an alliance. The feelings were like brothers and sisters. Now the king said that our two countries had not yet joined, so where is the righteousness?" Wei Jia continued to move forward until the steps.

"The former king sent envoys at the end of August, and in early September, the envoys entered Handan. The country was sent to send troops at the end of October, and in November, the army was defeated when the Qin army was defeated before it was released. The Qin army could not afford to fight and Chu returned. Now it is righteous to maintain the merit of retreating from Qin, so what is the righteousness?" Xiong Jing looked at Wei Jia. The words of the tyrants actually could not stand the scrutiny, but most of the kings were confused and often deceived by him. Xiong Jing used to argue with others about the price of British steel, and how could Wei Jia's little tricks deceive him.

"The unsing is at the time when my father died and the country was in danger. He was called the king and was in a rebellion and war. Fortunately, the guards died inside, and the loyal soldiers fought outside, so that they could achieve peace in the Chu State today. Now the ancient king has not been buried, and the major policies are unclear. They can join Zhao and Qin, and wait for the ministers to discuss with them, and they will make a decision." Xiong Jing's eyes swept over the ministers and finally fell on Wei Jia's face. At this time, he no longer had the momentum he had before and no longer walked forward.

"Will the King want to be with Qin?" Wei Jia pretended to be surprised. "In the past, the Qin general Bai Qi fought and promoted Yan Ying, fought again and burned Yiling, and fought three times to insult the king's ancestors. This was a resentful for a hundred generations and was ashamed by Zhao. The king and Qin, how could Yan meet the ancestors of Chu?"

"In the Battle of Changping, the Qin people killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, and the nobles also killed them. Every family in Handan was mourning, and every household was funeral, but the King of Zhao wanted to cut off the six cities to seek peace. Who is the King of Zhao who meets the former king of Zhao?" Xiong Jing faced tit-for-tat.

"In the battle of Changping, all the troops of our Zhao Kingdom were lost. Therefore, the wicked king first sever the six cities to seek peace with Qin. However, the six cities were not given to Qin. Qin besieged Handan and returned after defeat. The wicked king first can see the former king." Wei Jia said.
