Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Chapter 868 Huang Xie's Dilemma (First Change)

"Chu is over."

After hearing Mao Sui's report, Zhao Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the ministers of Zhao State in front of him.

For Zhao Dan's judgment, all the ministers of Zhao State expressed their approval.

Although Chu Wangyuan was a moderate monarch, at least when Chu Wangyuan was still alive, the political situation of Chu State was very stable.

Chu Wangyuan, Huang Xiejingyang, the three giants system is very stable, almost accompanied by Chu Wangyuan's entire ruling process.

It is also under the strong support of this three giant system that although Chu has suffered repeated defeats, it has never reached the brink of collapse.

But with the death of Chu Wangyuan, this very stable Big Three system lost the most important link.

The rise of the new king, the game between the two empress dowagers and the rise of Li Yuan all brought new uncertainties to the state of Chu.

"It is foreseeable." Zhao Dan said: "In the next period of time, the widow thinks that Chu State should fall into internal struggle."

Mr. Pingyuan Zhao Sheng thought for a while, and said, "Judging from this award, Huang Xie is the biggest loser. I'm afraid the front line of the Chu army will usher in great changes."

Zhao Sheng's remarks are not aimless. Li Yuan has been promoted, Jingyang has been promoted, but what about Huang Xie?Huang Xie has nothing.

You must know that Huang Xie is now at the helm of the entire Chu army. According to normal logic, although Huang Xie is indeed an extremely high-ranking minister, adding some fiefdoms and rewarding some treasures should mean something, right?After all, Huang Xie led the army at the front, and he was leading most of Chu's troops. Whoever would be the king had to consider Huang Xie's feelings.

None of these, however.

"Huang Xie may be regarded as an abandoned son." Yu Xin said in a deep voice.

Zhao Dan smiled and said: "No matter what Huang Xie's situation is, as long as there is internal turmoil in Chu, then it is something that I want to see! Zheng Qing, Ru Daxing will cooperate with Hu Yiwei these days to see if he can come up with a The specific plan, the widow must personally review it!"

As the saying goes, you can die while you are sick.

Now that the state of Chu is in disarray, it would be too foolish for Zhao state not to make full use of it.

Moreover, this kind of situation where several factions of Chu State are fighting with each other is actually what Zhao Dan is most happy to see. As long as it is done properly, then Zhao Dan and Zhao State can completely cause Chu State to fall into serious internal friction without any effort. It's a good thing you can't ask for.

Zhao Dan was very happy, but Huang Xie was very anxious.

As the Prime Minister of Chu State, Huang Xie naturally has his own eyes and ears in Yingdu, and there are quite a few of them.

So two days after the drastic change in Yingdu, Huang Xie had already learned the news.

When the first wave of messengers arrived, Huang Xie only knew the news of Chu Wangyuan's death, but even this news was shocking enough for Huang Xie.

Huang Xie knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was able to fight against Zhao Jingqu's three major families for such a long time was entirely because of Chu Wangyuan's full support.

Now that King Yuan of Chu is dead, and Huang Xie has little contact with the prince who is still underage, the situation is very embarrassing.

Once the prince is unwilling to continue to support Huang Xie, then Huang Xie's downfall will be a matter of minutes.

This made Huang Xie very uneasy.

But that's not the end of the bad news.

When the latest news came from Yingdu, Huang Xie was stunned.

Li Yuan soared into the sky, Jingyang was awarded the title of king, but Huang Xie got nothing?

As an old Jianghu who has been in the political arena of Chu State for decades, how could Huang Xie not notice the weirdness in it?

So after getting the news, Huang Xie immediately summoned several of his cronies and began to discuss countermeasures.

Facing the current predicament, the several confidantes looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was obvious that there was no good solution for a while.

This made Huang Xie obviously a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but said: "I treat you all kindly on weekdays, and I hope you can give advice at this critical moment. Now you are all silent, what is the reason?"

When Huang Xie said these words, many of the cronies present lowered their heads in shame.

Only one staff member named Zhu Ying sat there with a calm expression, in stark contrast to the ostrich-like colleagues around him.

Seeing Zhu Ying's appearance, Huang Xie was also a little upset. As the lord, I am on fire now, but you, a retainer, are still so old-fashioned?

So Huang Xie couldn't help but said: "Zhu Ying, you are so indifferent, could it be that you have a plan in mind?"

Zhu Ying smiled and nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, I have three strategies to solve your crisis."

"Oh?" Huang Xie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but said, "Then why don't you tell me quickly?"

Zhu Yingdao: "May I ask your majesty, which strategy should we listen to first?"

Huang Xie thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the worst policy first."

Zhu Yingdao: "As a bad strategy, your lord should immediately control all the forces of the three major families of Jingyang and Zhaojingqu in the army, and then wait and see the changes in Yingdu. If Yingdu can give you a name, then your lord The Lord is naturally the Lingyin of Chu State. If Yingdu insists on fighting against Junshang, then Junshang can also lead the army back to Yingdu. It is absolutely impossible to fight against Junshang with the strength of Yingdu's troops."

Huang Xie was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, this is a strategy of conspiracy, and I don't want to do it. Let's talk about the middle strategy."

Zhu Ying continued: "The middle strategist, Your Majesty should immediately kill all the disciples of Jingyang and other three major families, then make peace with Zhao Guoyan, raise troops and return to Yingdu, control the king in Yingdu, and then look for opportunities , Xing Tian's old story of replacing Qi!"

Huang Xie's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he said angrily, "Zhu Ying, besides instigating me to rebel, can you say anything else?"

Just now, he was self-respecting with a large army, but now it is even better, and he is about to become a traitor and traitor who usurped the throne.

Zhu Ying looked at Huang Xie without showing any weakness, and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation is already obvious. No matter which queen mother is in Yingdu, you don't want your majesty to continue to sit in the position of Ling Yin." Come on. If your lord doesn't want to sit and wait for death, then you must act now!"

Huang Xie shook his head and said, "No, no matter what you say, I will not plot against you."

Zhu Ying shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since this is the case, then I have a better plan."

Huang Xie frowned and said, "Say."

Zhu Yingdao: "The best strategy is actually simple. You just need to control Jingyang and others immediately, and then lead the army to surrender to Zhao. If King Zhao gets this news, he will definitely reward you generously. In this way, your lord In this life, you will be rich and have no worries.”

As soon as Zhu Ying's words fell, the big tent became silent in an instant.

Chapter 869 Huang Xie's Decision (Second Change)

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Huang Xie's eyebrows and facial muscles twitched wildly.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Xie looks like he wants to eat people now.

At first, I thought that one or two of Zhu Ying's strategies were relatively mild, but now it's better, each of these strategies is more radical than the other, and Huang Xie's heart can't bear it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the three strategies mentioned by Zhu Ying really have the possibility of success, and one is more likely to succeed than the other.

But the problem is that these choices are too much, right?

Power ministers, rebels, surrender ministers, the three choices are more nonsense than the other!
