In the last sentence, Xiong Jing's wish to be harmonious was fully revealed. This is no different from the strategic goal of the Chu at the beginning. However, according to his judgment, the Qin State will never give up in the future. The Qin State just annexed the land of Zhao Qi, and it takes time to digest it. At least time to rectify the local agricultural production without making ends meet. After the new land is rectified, the internal area will breathe a sigh of relief and the war will begin again.

This start is not because of hopeful beginnings like now, but because of despair. Taking advantage of the period when Qin was straightening out internally, Chu could popularize new firearms, and the difference in weapon generation between the two sides would further widen. Such despair will definitely make Qin take risks and provoke war again.

This is probably the thinking of the common people. When he still has a way out, he can laugh and endure no matter how you humiliate him or torture him. He will cooperate very well and call you the uncle. When you want him to live, or he feels that he will definitely not live, he will fight before he dies, and even if he dies, he will take a cushion.

This is the opposite of aristocrats. Aristocrats should not be humiliated easily. If they are humiliated, they will fight for their lives. Otherwise, what face will the nobles who lose their honor have to live in the world? However, if a noble is defeated openly and uprightly, they will be convinced and bow down to their knees and surrender. This has nothing to do with honor. This is to face reality and respect the strong.

The reason why Qin destroyed all countries was dissatisfied was that Qin did not defeat him openly and uprightly. It was a very difficult thing to argue with the common people's Qin people about what it means to defeat him openly and uprightly, and there are not many examples that can be explained. What Xiong Jing knew was probably the legendary Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and spit out seven times.

Meng Huo continued to resist, but was defeated and captured by Zhuge Liang every time; Zhuge Liang seemed to have endless war materials every time he faced the battle, and he was not afraid of the war for a long time. This is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang unconditionally released every time Meng Huo failed. This alone shows that Zhuge Liang was a real strong man compared to Meng Huo.

The strong never dare to keep the enemy from rebelling and playing with various strategies. The strong will not regard the war as a arduous consumption. They fished out of the waters, used up the last grain of corn in the country, regardless of the high or low, and summoned all men in the country. This was never a war for the strong. This was a war of the common people who drowned elites with numbers. The price of war was so huge that even if they sold the entire Meng Huo clan as slaves, they could not compensate for the losses of the war. Such a war could not release Meng Huo.

Xiong Jing was thinking about this in his heart, knowing that this was not a real alliance, but just a truce.

It is indeed difficult for the alliance of all countries to switch between war and harmony. It is as quick as Zhao Zheng, who can't decide, but it cannot be forgotten that whether it is war or harmony, the combat effectiveness of the countries will be maintained and will not fall due to war and harmony. Different from the Qin army, the Qin army has passed the strongest peak and is falling into the weak valley. To be more realistic, when those old Qin soldiers who were gray-haired and followed Bai Qi died, the Qin army could not fight.

Xiong Jing was the king of Chu. He asked the ministers of the court to express peace and disagreement with the king's order, which was equivalent to a court decision. The result of the court decision was not unexpected. One third of the ministers agreed to a peace agreement; nearly half of the ministers agreed to a conditional peace agreement, and the conditions mean that the alliance should take into account the interests of the allies; only about one-sixth of the ministers firmly opposed peace negotiations, insisted on arguing that Chu and Qin had irreconcilable power and eliminated all evil.

"King, most of the people who don't want to get along are doctors from Lu." Zhuang Wudi held a large stack of fly news, and he had finished counting it.

"Yeah." Xiong Jing nodded silently, not surprised this result. Lu was the fortress of Confucianism, while Legalism was the great enemy of Confucianism. Of course, he had to destroy it before he could quickly. At the same time, he became increasingly determined to drive the people of Lu out of Chu.

If the Chu people do not share the same country with the Lu people, the Chu people will not have to pay for the ideal of the Lu people to restore the Zhou world. No matter what the Lu people want to do in the future, the Chu people will never interfere. The Lu people ask the Chu people for what they want in the name of righteousness, and don’t use some big talk to fool people. Please tell me what the benefits are first? Why did the Chu people shed blood and sacrifice and fight for the ideals of the Lu people?

"If both sides cease to fight on the spot, what about the court?" Xiong Jing thought to drive away the people of Jue Lu, and his cheeks became tighter and tighter.

"This..." There are too many fierce words on the news article, and Xiong Jing didn't want to be stunning. Zhuang Wudi read all the news articles through, and saw that Xiong Jing's request was just to "on-place" to make the army more stable, and he didn't know how to agree for a moment. This meant that Qin could get peace without paying any price.

"I think the Qiang people..." After pondering for a while, Zhuang Wudi mentioned the Qiang people.

"The Qiang people can give some Shu areas." Xiong Jing expressed his thoughts. The Qin people's Longyou County remained unmoved, and the Chu State compensated the Qiang people for some Shu counties and towns. They just died a great hero and did not fight the Qin army in full swing.

"What about Zhao people?" Zhuang Wudi asked Zhao people again.

"I will tell you about Zhao people personally." Xiong Jing said. He remembered Lingshui, and this woman's requirements were not high.

"That Qi people..." Zhuang Wudi then asked about Qi people again.

"The Qi people are the ones who are responsible for it!" It would be fine if the Qi people were not mentioned, but Xiong Jing, the Qi people, became angry.

"In this way, the world will ridicule our state of Chu." Zhuang Wudi judged. "King, now our troops and brigades are all ready. We can only wait for the baggage to be transported. With Qin's current situation, I will win, so why bother with Qin?"

"It will definitely win?" Xiong Jing looked at Zhuang Wudi, "If Qin State also had warships, what would it do if it went downstream?"

"However, all the Qin craftsmen were detained from the Huns. I knew that the officials reported that Qin was trying to exchange Yinshan for boat craftsmen. First, the Huns were granted the title of the prime minister, and then the Donghu King ordered the Huns to refuse. Where did the Qin people come to warships?"

The news of the newspaper of the British Department was also known. Qin State exchanged Yinshan for those craftsmen. The Huns Minister Feng Lanmo realized that something was wrong, so he personally interrogated the craftsmen. In the absence of language, the Egyptian craftsmen had to build a Mediterranean Five-Powered Warship for him. When he saw the Five-Powered Warship, Lanmo almost fainted.

The warships were good, but the Huns were everywhere in grassland, so there was no need. When they wanted to change it, the King of Donghu had already sent someone to tell him that he would not return any craftsman to Qin, and finally took all the craftsmen away. At this time, the Huns were still very weak, and they sent their sons to Yuezhi, so they naturally had to pay tribute to Donghu. The King of Donghu said that it could not be changed, that was, it could not be changed. Not to mention Lan Mo, even the Shanyu Touman could not be done.

This is the news on the grassland, and the news from Go Valla can also prove it. When the Egyptian envoy Paropus talked with Aristotle IV, he also lamented that because most of the craftsmen were detained by the grassland barbarians, the Qin State could not build warships.

"What if there is?" Xiong Jing read these two newspapers and knew that Qin was only one step away from obtaining warship manufacturing technology, but he was still worried, very worried.

"The king is not worried that the Qin people have warships, but why should the Qin people seek peace in order to get a boat-building craftsman." Zhuang Wudi reminded, and this sentence made Xiong Jing's heart jump suddenly. "This year, the Qin people have no warships. If you have peace with the Qin people for several years, what should I do? Since the boat-building craftsman can be sent to Qin in the extreme west, what's wrong with sending it?"

"If the Qin people have warships, our army will be defeated." Xiong Jing said with certainty.

"Since that's the case, why should the king join forces with the Qin people?" Zhuang Wudi continued to ask. "It is better to destroy Qin in one battle than to raise a tiger."

The war technology of the Chu State is progressing. What cannot be ignored is that the war technology of the Qin State connecting the West is also progressing. Xiong Jing would rather Qin State get artillery than Qin State get warships.

Artillery is only a tactical weapon, and warships are strategic weapons, and the functions of the two cannot be compared. What's more, the Chu State is in a water town. If the Qin army has warships, it can not only attack Chu State along the waters, but also go out to the Ji River to attack Chu State from the sea. In that case, there is no need to defend the key pass. Millions of Qin troops rowed their warships into Chu, and the Chu army was irresistible.

Thinking of the Qin State, there were warships. Almost at the same time, Xiong Jing and Zhuang Wudi said in unison: "Abandoned soldiers! They are abandoned soldiers..."

The abandoned soldiers cannot fight in battle, but they can paddle! The Qin army recruited 300,000 abandoned soldiers to train them into battleship paddlers!

"Summon, summon Naoji! Summon Don't give me a gift! Summon Li Qie! Summon Yin Dao! Summon Gongshu Jian..." Xiong Jing burst into cold sweat on his back, touched his forehead with his hand, and summoned a large number of people in his mouth.

Yingdu is not far from Wancheng. On the fourth day, Li Qi, Gong Yin Dao, Gongshujian and others rushed to Wancheng. The first thing Xiong Jing said when he saw them was: "If the Qin people also had warships, what should I do?"

"The Qin people also have warships?!" Li Qi jumped up when he heard this. On the way, he was eating and living on the warships. His face was very bad, but now his face was even worse. He looked at Xiong Jing with an incredible look, and then looked at Wuzhu and Naojiu.

"If so! If so!" Xiong Jing emphasized. Although it is immoral, he is a little glad that Zhao Zheng offended the Huns, otherwise...

"If so?" Li Qi finally understood, he sat down and then said, "If the Qin people also had warships, our Chu State would be destroyed."

His judgment is not much different from Xiong Jing's judgment, but it is more absolute.

"The Ling Shi Zhou Shi is completely different." Li Qi continued. "The Ling Shi guards the land, passes, cities, valleys, and mountains. The Zhou Shi is different. There is no important pass above the river, and I have not arranged a key pass on the side of the river. The Qin people suddenly moved from land to water, but I have not guarded it. Outside the river, there is also a sea. The Qin army can not only flow down the water, but also flow down the sea..."

The more Li Qi said, the more frightened he felt. He no longer wanted to analyze it anymore, and said: "When the news comes, the Qin people want to obtain the art of building boats. I think they must not be in harmony with the Qin people, but should take advantage of the Qin people not getting the warship and attack them quickly."

"Don't talk about peace, just discuss war." Li Qi's suggestion Xiong Jing did not agree or object. He corrected the topic and asked again: "If the Qin people already have warships, what should I do?"
