I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Know what is the best way to destroy a country?That is to cause chaos in this country from within!
Just like this, Zhiyao wanted to kill the powerful Han family, even if there was a [-]% certainty that there would be no accidents when the Han family was killed, and there was only a [-]% possibility that it would lead to failure, she still did not take action.

It is not because of other factors that external countries are staring at each other, and internal chaos will inevitably suffer from it. Too often, an event can be started casually, and it is beyond human control to end it.

Now the king of Chu in the state of Chu is a prisoner in the original state, and the original state has a way to control the situation in the state of Chu.

The best way for the Chu State to deal with it is to choose the crown prince to ascend the throne when Chu Junzhong has died in battle, and then lead the domestic conflicts to the original country.

In the original history, King Huai of Chu was tricked by Qin to join the alliance and then captured. This is what Chu did.They not only prevented the state of Qin from making a fuss about King Huai of Chu, but also succeeded in making the people of the state of Chu hate the people of the state of Qin very much. It was King Chu Qingxiang who suffered a lot of criticism.

What is the problem now?The problem is that there are no heirs among the kings of Chu, that is to say, the state of Chu does not have a prince who can justifiably ascend the throne.

"Because there is no crown prince, they can only try to redeem Chu Junzhong." Zhiyao has already learned that Chu State's willingness to redeem Chu Junzhong is extremely strong.

In fact, even though the Chu State has abolished the tradition of "defeating the army and killing the general", the people of Chu State still do not like losers from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Chu Junzhong can return to the country in the end, there is a great possibility that he will not be able to sit on the throne for a long time, and he wants to avoid it. It's nothing more than the original country using Chu Junzhong to do things.

For this reason, Chu State not only humiliatedly accepted the fact that the land was occupied by the original army, but also willing to cede the old land of Chen State and Cai State to Yuan State.

Throughout history, the state of Chu has never voluntarily accepted the fact that the land was occupied, and at the same time, it has never carried out acts of cutting the land. Once Chu Junzhong returns in this way, his prestige and face will definitely be lost.This is why Chu Junzhong will not sit on the throne for a long time even if he goes back.

Chu State now wants to redeem Chu Junzhong, the greater significance is to make the transfer of power more smooth.

"If Zhaogu usurps the throne, Chu will also be in chaos!" Sun Wu said.

Holding a general meeting is generally a formality, and the premise of any decision is that it has been decided long ago.

No matter what era it is, it will always be a small number of people who really decide on major events. A series of matters concerning Chu State will be decided in the form of a small meeting today.

According to the discussion between the monarch and ministers of the Yuan Kingdom, it was unanimously determined that there would be chaos in the Chu Kingdom in the future.

That was the same consequence whether Yuan Guo was willing to return to Chu Junzhong or not.

The monarch and ministers of the Yuan Kingdom were discussing how to make the Chu Kingdom more chaotic, or how to control the chaos. The goal was for the Yuan Kingdom to obtain the maximum benefit when the civil strife broke out in the Chu Kingdom.

Zhi Xuwu asked: "Is it possible to destroy Chu State?"

The topic extends to this step, and the next step is to make any possible guesses, and then determine each plan based on those guesses.

What they knew best was that even though Chu State would be weak in military resistance, Yuan State still could not easily annex Chu State.

It's all because Chu State is really too big, especially Chu State's mountains and rivers are far more responsible than the Central Plains, and the large number of water systems is a trouble for Yuan State.

Zhiyao thought to herself: "The Yue Kingdom will not perish. It is difficult for me to devote all my troops to the battle against Chu. The situation I am facing is not the same as that of the Qin State. The Yue State and the Song State are not like the Qi State. You have to lose confidence, and Qi hates the background of all the princes."

Why did the Qi State in the original history not take any action against the continuous destruction of the nations?The background is that there was an incident of "Five Kingdoms Annihilating Qi", which caused Qi's monarchs and people to fear war. It was not simply that powerful officials were bribed.

In this version of history, the state of Chu was repeatedly defeated by the original state, and even the king was captured by the original army. Is the state of Chu afraid of war because of this?It is obvious that the people of Chu State are different from the people of Qi State. The high level of the country may be afraid of war, while the local nobles and ordinary Li Shu are unlikely to surrender just because of an order from the high level of the state.

Zhiyao believes that the ministers should understand the character of the Chu people, and don't think that making the top of the Chu government surrender is equivalent to being able to manipulate the Chu country at will. Even if the Chu country collapses from the upper-level structure, one must be careful of counterattacks from the middle and lower classes of the Chu country.

"It is difficult to apply the laws of other countries to the Chu country?" Sima Rangju said.

It is to not engage in differential treatment, open up channels for advancement, and so on.

Can these measures offset the Chu people's hatred of subjugation?Perhaps it will play a role to some extent, but it is difficult to spread the word in Chu, and the cost of investment will be far higher than that in other countries.

On the one hand, the environment in Chu State is very complicated, and on the other hand, the southerners are actually far more afraid of the local powerful than the central government, and they really like to do what they want, regardless of the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, the southerners are now pursuing gratification and hatred, and the assassination of officials from the original country will definitely far exceed that of the north.

This led to the fact that no matter what method Yuanguo used to destroy Chu State, how to ensure the safety of one's own life after officials went to various places in Chu to take office was a difficult problem that must be tested first.

The same problem will also appear in Yue State, and the troubles it will face will not be much less than Chu State!

"Historically, Qin State also encountered such difficult things in Chu State. Qin State's choice is to kill, continue to use high-pressure policies, and engage in one kill and then kill again."

"The killing didn't make the Chu people surrender, on the contrary, it aroused their hatred for Qin even more. It is said that the events of other countries destroying Qin happened during the period of Qin II, but the real fact is that the main force against Qin is the people of Chu."

"I can't extravagantly hope that the Huairou policy can influence the people of Chu. That would be as useless as the first emperor's attempt to influence Confucian scholars with his own actions, and it will most likely become the biggest joke recorded in history."

"Of course, I can't use blind killing to try to make Chu people submit. History has proved that killing alone is ineffective against Chu people."

"Perhaps... we can learn from the first emperor's method of gathering defeated soldiers from the six kingdoms and the young and strong as the main force, with a reasonable and regular army, and consume them in the battle against Baiyue, and create new hatred between the Chu people and the Baiyue people in the process?"

While listening to the discussions of the ministers, Zhiyao kept thinking.

Zhong Wu, who participated in the small meeting for the first time, was almost the audience for the whole time. He couldn't bear it and asked aloud: "Can you make the princes fight?"

Of course it can.

The reality is that when the original country is alone, the princes may have conflicts. If their brains are not broken, even if a war breaks out, it is absolutely impossible to turn into a major war. The fight will be a small fight with restraint.

However, the significance of the discussion is how to make the impossible possible.

Sun Wu answered and said, "Maybe you can give it a try?"

Zhiyao's attention was immediately attracted...
