Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But if you choose the most enjoyable partner, then this pair will definitely win No.1.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Grand Sima Kuangliang of Qi State walked in.

Kuang Liang looked at the graceful Tingting in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and he sighed inwardly.

Now the state of Qi is not as stable as Mount Tai, there are so many enemies outside, and there are many affairs waiting for the king to deal with, but the king is here. Backlashed by King Qi's anger!So Kuang Liang had no choice but to walk all the way in front of King Qi, salute and report: "Your Majesty, I have something important to do!"

Because of Kuang Liang's arrival, the sound of singing, dancing and music slowed down for a while.

King Qi was obviously not very happy, and said, "What's the matter?"

Kuang Liang looked around, hesitated for a moment, and leaned next to King Qi and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the possible internal strife in the Zhao Kingdom."

King Qi was taken aback, and was a little sober from the alcohol.

After a while, King Qi said: "Okay, the rest of you go down!"

The dancers and musicians withdrew one after another, and soon there were only King Qi, Hou Sheng, and Kuang Liang left in the hall.

Hou Sheng raised his head with some doubts, and his eyes, which were clearly drunk, were full of doubts: "My, my lord, what, what's the matter?"

King Qi snorted and said, "I still want to know what's wrong, Da Sima, please tell me."

Kuang Liang knew that King Qi was angry, but this matter was really urgent, so he didn't care about King Qi's emotions.

Kuang Liang said: "That's right. I just got the news that the conflict between Lord Wuxin and Lord Pingyang in Handan City seems to have started to break out, and the forces on both sides are ready to move."

King Qi waited for a while and said, "That's it?"

Kuang Liang: "" No, what do you mean?

Kuang Liang said: "Your Majesty, that is Zhao Guo."

King Qi waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Of course I know it's Zhao Guo! Isn't Zhao Guo's internal strife very common?

What a fuss.

Houxiang, hurry up and call those dancers up again, I haven't heard enough of the dancers just now. "

Although Hou Sheng was quite drunk, he was almost sober after hearing Zhao Kuo's name.

Hou Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is an internal strife related to Wu Xinjun. If our Daqi spies can work harder, maybe we can bring down Wu Xinjun."

King Qi stared, and said angrily: "Wu Xinjun is the brother-in-law of the widow, why did the widow want to bring down his brother-in-law?"

Kuang Liang and Hou Sheng: "What the hell, when Zhao Kuo invaded Linzi and took you alive as a prisoner, he didn't take care of you, brother-in-law.

Kuang Liang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, Zhao State has now annexed Yan State and defeated Chu State, and its power is the most powerful in the world.

Our Da Qi is so close to the Zhao country, if we don't take some measures to weaken the Zhao country, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. "

Kuang Liang also saw that King Qi was obviously drunk, so he was quite tactful when he spoke.

King Qi laughed loudly, and said: "It's just nonsense, the relationship between Zhao Guo and our Da Qi is very good! The widow has said that, immediately get the dancers and musicians up, and other things, we will talk about it later!"

Kuang Liang was dumbfounded, and looked at Hou Sheng with pleading eyes.

Although these two people don't deal too much on weekdays, it is a matter related to the overall interests of Qi State after all, so Kuang Liang thinks that Hou Sheng should still be able to help him.

After pondering for a moment, Hou Sheng said, "Come here, dancers and musicians!"

Kuang Liang: "" Hou Sheng looked at Kuang Liang, and said calmly, "Great Sima, isn't the king's intention already obvious?

This time, Daqi stood by and watched, and let the people of Zhao Guo bite the dog! "

Doesn't Hou Sheng know if King Qi is drunk?

know.

Therefore, Hou Sheng added another sentence: "If you really have any opinions, then when the king holds a court meeting, we can discuss them together!"

The meaning of Hou Sheng is already obvious. The king is drunk, and it is useless to say anything. You just slip back home and talk about it later.

Kuang Liang: "" Kuang Liang had no choice but to walk out of the hall.

A gust of bleak autumn wind blew over, blowing Kuang Liang's temples.

Kuang Liang was also very desolate in his heart, and couldn't help but sighed.

"At the time of external troubles and internal troubles, the king is playing songs every night, what alas!"

There are actually many problems in Qi.

Since Zhao Jun broke into Handan last time and plundered almost all the wealth in the entire city of Linzi, Qi's economy has suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the results of the above calculations just obtained, Qi's fiscal and tax revenue this year is directly [-]% lower than before Linzi was breached, only [-]% of the previous level, which is less than half.

The reduction of fiscal revenue is very fatal, because Qi State implements the recruitment system, so soldiers are paid for fighting.

How do you pay the military if you have no money?

In the past two years, although Kuang Liang barely rebuilt a Qi army with a number of more than [-], it can be regarded as restoring the scale of the year, but in reality?

The current Qi army is far from comparable to the previous Qi army in terms of equipment and morale.

This is why Kuang Liang thought he was far superior to Xu Li, but he couldn't break through the eastern defense organized by Xu Li a few months ago.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it's hard for anyone to lead such a group of soldiers!Of course, Kuang Liang also knew that a weak army is not a problem. No army is born strong, and elite soldiers are always trained slowly.

But the problem comes back again, you have to pay for military training, which one does not need money for equipment, food, and various military supplies?

King Qi, don't give it!Why not?

Because King Qi wants to use money to buy dancers, good wine, and all kinds of rare treasures to enjoy.

Kuang Liang persuaded him many times, but every time it was the same as today, he was either ignored by King Qi or scolded by King Qi.

Thinking of this, Kuang Liang felt a little cold in his heart.

The state of Qi is clearly in such a difficult situation, but the king of Qi has no self-examination and vigilance at all. He is still so arrogant and extravagant, and the degree is even stronger than before!Can such a state of Qi really support it?

Kuang Liang was silent for a while, then slowly walked down the steps of the main hall.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his body, adding a bit of bleakness to him.

Chapter 838

The capital of Chu State, Chen Ying.

The King of Chu's face was extremely gloomy as he stared at the courtiers in front of him.

Including Chunshenjun, Jingyang and others, everyone was silent, not daring to breathe.

"Rebellion, rebellion, why is there rebellion everywhere! Can this big Chu get better, huh?"

King Chu's angry voice echoed in the hall.

If one were to choose the biggest loser in this year's war, it would definitely be the destroyed Yan Kingdom.

If the country of Yan goes down, it must be the country of Chu.

In the Second Pingyang War, the main force of the Chu State suffered heavy losses. More than [-]% of the soldiers and horses fell into the sand in that battle, and many ministers and generals were killed or captured. It can be said that their vitality was seriously injured.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. At this time, another rebellion broke out in the south of Chu State.

The south of Chu State is mainly composed of Yue people, such as Dongyue, Minyue, and Nanyue.

On weekdays, everyone is considered to be in peace, even the state of Chu conquered some Yue people and forced them to become subjects of the state of Chu.

But now as soon as they heard the news that Chu had suffered a major defeat, these Yue people immediately started rebelling.

In less than a month, it can be said that the entire south of the Yangtze River in Chu State was full of wars, and there were alarms of Yue people's rebellion and invasion everywhere.

Even Songyang City, the prefecture of Jiujiang County in Chu State, and Changsha City, the prefecture of Changsha County, were surrounded by Yue people, and the specific situation is unknown now.

As soon as he suffered a defeat abroad, there were repeated rebellions in the country. It would be a ghost if the king of Chu was in a better mood.

The ministers are not stupid, they know that the king of Chu is very angry now, so they all bow their heads like ostriches and don't dare to touch the bad luck at this time.

But will this stop King Chu's anger?

Obviously not.

The King of Chu looked directly at Lord Chunshen, and said coldly: "Mr. Chunshen, didn't you swear before going out that the battle would be won?

Now that the battle has been lost and a lot of rebellions have been triggered, isn't it justified if you don't speak up? "

The King of Chu directly rolls the roll to see how long you can be an ostrich!Mr. Chunshen's scalp tingled immediately after being named.

But it is absolutely impossible not to respond, Chunshen Jun stood up bravely and said: "My lord, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to conquer the rebels have already begun to gather, please rest assured, Your lord, at most two or three months, these The rebellion will all be put down."

The King of Chu was not satisfied with Jun Shenjun's obviously sloppy answer, and sneered, "Two or three months?

It is already autumn now, and winter will be in two or three months.

When it snows heavily, tell me how to suppress the rebellion?

Or does it mean that all the soldiers and horses of our Great Chu have wings, can they fly back? "

The King of Chu trusted Chun Shenjun a lot on weekdays, but this time the failure was too tragic, so he didn't look good towards Chun Shenjun.

If you make the widow unhappy, of course the widow will not make you feel better!Chunshen Jun was embarrassed by King Chu's robbing, his face turned green and pale, and he was speechless for a long time.

Looking at the situation, Jingyang couldn't help showing a happy smile at the corner of his mouth.

As long as he saw Jun Shen deflated, Jing Yang was very happy.

However, what Jingyang didn't expect was that his smile also fell into King Chu's sight.

The King of Chu said coldly: "Sima Jingyang, what are you laughing at?

Does Da Chu look like this now make you very happy? "

Jingyang's body stiffened immediately, and his smile disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Jingyang wanted to slap himself.

If you want to laugh, just snicker in your heart, why show it?

Jingyang was helpless, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure, please punish me, Your Majesty."

After making a mistake and being caught, Jingyang must have no way to defend himself.

The King of Chu chuckled and said, "How dare the widow punish you?

I just want to ask, is the sheriff of Jiujiang County a member of your Jing family?

Now that the county government of Jiujiang County is surrounded, and most of the county has fallen into the hands of the Yue people, I would like to ask, where does your county guard, the Jing family, go fishing every day? "

Jingyang was dumbfounded.

Don't look at the fact that King Chu seems to have no deterrent power on weekdays, but when he speaks in anger at a critical moment, every word and every sentence is sprayed on the point, making Jingyang completely unable to retaliate.

Jingyang became more and more helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "The old minister is incapable of managing the family, please be punished by the king."

The king of Chu became more and more angry, and said: "Punish and punish every day, why do you want to be punished so much?

What the widow wants is to solve the problem, can you solve it?

In my opinion, you can only wait for Zhao Kuo to come here one day before you can be solved by others. It's true! "

At the end, the King of Chu was almost roaring.

The King of Chu's words had reached this point, and the ministers of Chu State who were present were naturally terrified and knelt down one after another.

"The minister is guilty, please punish the king!"

At this time, Ling, the eunuch of Chu State, hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Handan urgently reports!"

This news diverted King Chu's attention in time.

King Chu frowned and said, "What urgent report?"

The eunuch ordered: "In the Handan political arena, the struggle between Wu Xinjun and Pingyangjun has become more and more fierce these days, and it seems that there is a harbinger of internal strife."

The hall fell into silence for a while.

After a while, the King of Chu said impatiently, "It's gone?"

The eunuch Ling was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's gone."

The King of Chu snorted heavily: "The widow thought there was something important, don't worry about this matter!"

When Jingyang heard this, how can this work?
