With a loud sound, Qu Chong sat down with his butt, looking at Huang Xie with his eyes straight, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was obvious.

Huang Xie spread his hands and said, "Taiwei, just say anything. If you have anything to say, staring at me like this, it would be like I have become a peerless beauty!" He tried to relax the atmosphere.

"Zhengmao, are you going to sit by and watch us be defeated by the Han people? If the Han and Qin are in a bad situation, if we don't take the opportunity to send troops, the great opportunity will be fleeting. Now that Qin is so chaotic, if the Han country really defeats them, we will be the next target." Qu Chong said angrily.

Huang Xie sat down and looked at Qu Chong who was angry and angry, "My good lieutenant, you know that Qin is in chaos now! But the more this happens, the less we will be able to send troops at this time. Do you go to the fire to get the lee of the Qin people? Zhixiao saw that Qin had two different messengers coming to our Yingcheng, and my heart was half cold."

Qu Chong snorted: "No matter how messed they are, their army's combat effectiveness is still considerable."

"This is not what a Taiwei should say." Huang Xie's face sank, "Taiwei Qu, if you fight on the front line and I'm going to do anything wrong in the back, can you win?"

Qu Chong was stunned, "Why do you want to make trouble behind the scenes? This is our common cause."

"But what about Qin? Now Fan Sui hopes that Lu Chao will defeat him!" Huang Xie sneered.

"When Lu Chao was defeated, what are the benefits of Yu Fansui? He is not afraid that the Han people will go straight to Xianyang?" Qu Chong asked back.

"So they came to lobby us! I hope we will send troops. With the current situation of Qin, I am afraid that the Han State will be about to target us. Once we send troops to start a war with Han State, the Han State will inevitably turn around and aim at us. Instead, the Qin people will gain more time to clean up the domestic chaos. Taiwei, what are the benefits of this for our Great Chu?" Huang Xie knocked on the table and said.

Qu Chong was silent for a while, "Since Master, although what you said makes sense, there is no perfect thing in this world. If we want to keep the country of Great Chu, we have to pay some price. I heard that Fan Zhu went to your mansion two days ago and had a lot of talks with you. Tell me the truth, you decided to negotiate peace with the Han Kingdom. Is it a benefit to the Han people? I know that Fan Zhuo has made a fortune in business with the Han people in recent years, but he has made a fortune. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich now, right?"

Huang Xie laughed with a hint, reached out to pick up a stack of files from the table, and handed them to Qu Chong, "Taiwei, you have always paid attention to military affairs and never ask about civil affairs. Look at this, when you know why I don't agree to the war!"

Qu Chong looked through the stack of top-secret case files marked on the station with some confusion. Slowly, his face changed a little. When he went there, he looked up at Huang Xie with a heavy look on his face.

"In three years, our grain output has been reduced by 30%, and the loss of gold, silver and other goods has reached 20 million taels!" Huang Xie opened the drawer, took out a few colorful notes from the inside, and slapped it on the table with a snap, "This is a banknote issued by the Central Bank of Han, how do you see?"

Seeing Qu Chong playing with these tickets, Huang Xie slowly said: "Each of these tickets is worth 100 taels of silver from the perspective of the ticket, but to us, he is worthless at all. We Chu people are holding real money and silver in exchange for these paper tickets. The gold and silver lost to the Han Dynasty every year are shocking."

"Since the prime minister knows the problem, why not stop it?"

"How to stop it?" Huang Xie asked back: "The goods in Han Dynasty are beautiful, durable and cheap. Our merchants used gold and silver to import their products from Han Dynasty, but the things imported from us in Han Dynasty were very small. In addition to silk, satin, the high profits obtained by silk made the Huguang area destroy grain and mulberry plants, leading to grain production reduction. This is the instinct of capital's profit-seeking. Can we force the merchants to destroy mulberry trees and replant grain?"

"Why not?" Qu Chong* said authentically. "Greater is the foundation of a country."

"Everyone understands this principle, but Qu Taiwei, one-tenth of the taxes of a country in my country come from Huguang. To put it more carefully, the principle comes from these silk merchants who destroy mulberry and grow grain. Where does the tax come from? Where does your military expenses for training? Where does the military pay expenses for maintaining an army of hundreds of thousands of people come from?" Huang Xie's brow frowned into the word "Shichuan", "It's a difficult, dilemma, and it makes my heart bleeding."

"But if this continues, our situation will not deteriorate more and more? So it's better to take advantage of the present and fight with Han State!" Qu Chong said.

"It's okay if you win, but Taiwei Qu, can you guarantee that you will win?" Huang Xie asked back: "Han and Qin confronted each other in Jinyang. How many troops did the Han Dynasty deploy? It was just some of the troops of Zhao, plus the four infantry troops and two cavalry divisions of their First Military Region. How many troops did the Han Dynasty have in total? More than twenty troops? What are the remaining troops doing? Could it be that they are having a good meal? In my opinion, the Han Dynasty has no plans to go to war with Qin at all. I even suspect that their real goal is us."

"This is impossible. According to information from all aspects, the Han State has no plans to use troops for us at present." Qu Chong shook his head and said.

"It has always been difficult to predict when doing things. We have to guard against it. Taiwei Qu, we cannot send troops now. We must instigate Qin and Han to fight as much as possible and to transfer Han troops to the West more. So for Qin, we can provide financial and weapon support, but it is absolutely impossible to send troops directly. Qin's centipede, even if it is now losing power and losing a lot, it will take less than a few years to fight with Han.

It is also impossible to decide the outcome. These few years are our golden period. Taiwei. In the past few years, you have to train an army that is enough to match the Han people. But I want to revitalize people's livelihood and build a solid and solid rear for you. In the end, there will be a battle between Han and Chu, and it will not be reliable even if it depends on the sky and the earth. In the end, it depends on our own. The Great Chu spans thousands of miles, not smaller than the Han country, with a population of more than the Han country. As long as we are doing ourselves well, why should we be afraid of Han country?"

Qu Chong opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back into his stomach. Huang Xie said something reasonable. Now that he is going to war with the Han Kingdom, even if the Han Kingdom fights on both sides, he may not necessarily win.

"The key is to be yourself!" he murmured.
