Unfortunately, the development of the situation made Chu Wang Qiyan.

No matter how the Chu Jun spread the news that it was a conspiracy of Qin Jun, he still failed to prevent the Chu people from outflowing.

One aspect of this is that the nobles of the Chu country usually do not take the Chu people as human beings to exploit and squeeze them to death, including the king of Chu, so Chu people choose not to believe what they say.

This is exactly the sentence: "You always have to pay back when you come out."

Then Shen Bing pushed the propaganda war to another climax: a wave against the soldiers of the Chu army.

The propaganda war against the soldiers of the Chu army is very simple. It only needs to be propagated among the people without sending flyers directly into the barracks... The people knowing it is almost equivalent to knowing the soldiers.

The policy is as follows: as long as the soldiers of the Chu army are willing to surrender, those who are willing to join the army will join the army, and those who are willing to cultivate the land will be given the same treatment as the common people, and they only need to serve regularly according to the Qin law.

The soldiers of the Chu Army had a steelyard in their hearts: Most of the Chu State was about to be destroyed. If you continue to stay in the Chu Army camp, you will either die in battle or be captured by Qin, then you will not have such favorable conditions.

So when will you wait for no drop at this time?

What's more, many of them are in the period of military service, but Chu’s military service is not like the Qin’s military service which is regulated and implemented by the Qin law...

In fact, there is not much difference between Qin and Chu, because although Qin's service is a round-of-war system, the actual service time is much longer than the change due to insufficient military force for successive years and temporary conscription during wartime.

The key is that Qin Law has twenty military merits but Chu State does not.

After earning meritorious service in the Qin army, there is still a title that can be assigned to the field because of the title, but Chu State is purely selling his life for the nobles, and the meritorious service is only a poor reward.

There are even many cases where the aristocracy has taken the lead after making meritorious service...

Now that the soldiers of the Chu army have this opportunity to descend into the Qin Dynasty, they will not let it go easily.

Therefore, there will be a group of soldiers missing every one of them.

Needless to say where to go, he went to Huaibei and went to the Qin army.

At this time, it was not Chu Wangqi who organized the court meeting, but the nobles took the initiative to ask the court to discuss how to solve this problem.

But after discussing and discussing, I didn't say why.

Only when Chu Wangqi and Xiang Yan were two, Chu Wangqi sighed:

"With the current plan, there seems to be only three ways to go."

"The first is to take preemptive strikes and gather soldiers from all over the country to take the lead."

Chu Wangqi's thought was actually out of helplessness, because if Chu State continued like this, it would only get worse and worse, so it would be better to take advantage of Chu State's strength to fight.

Xiang Yan thought about it, then replied:

"The Qin army treats the morale of the laborers with ease, but our army is in the same shape and scattered sand from all races. At this time, the attacking Qin will not win but will lose faster."

Chu Wangqi thought so too. He nodded and continued:

"The second is the method of stealing fertilizer from the Qin army."

This fertilizer is too lethal, and the main reason is that there is no need to rest the fields.

Under this circumstance, even if the tax exemption of the nobles of the Chu Kingdom is not as good as the output of Qin, the tax reduction is meaningless.

If you still want the balance between Qin and Chu, you can only obtain fertilizer refining technology.

But Xiang Yan thought about it, then shook his head again:

"Qin Jun must also know the importance of this method of making fertilizer, so he will never reveal it lightly."

"I'm waiting to explore this method, I'm afraid it will be more difficult."

After hesitating, Xiang Yan asked suspiciously:

"My lord, the third way is..."

Chu Wangqi replied:

"Being bowed down and proclaiming ministers, like Anling City, I want to survive in Jiangdong."

Xiang Yan was taken aback, then fell silent.

Although Xiang Yan didn't want to make this choice, it seemed that this was the best choice from the current situation.

Because the demise of Chu is inevitable.

This is not because there is not enough food for soldiers and horses, but because the system is not as good as people.

Under this premise, any struggle is meaningless. In the end, it will only end with defeat and destruction.

But if, like Chu Wangqi, use Chu's current forces to seek Jiangdong autonomy... it might be a corner.

But Xiang Yan thought about it, but still thought it was inappropriate:

"Subordinates thought it was impossible."

"The reason why Anling City can survive in the world is probably because Anling City has no chance of a comeback."

"But our army has more than 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdong."

"How can this scale make King Qin feel at ease?"

Chu Wangqi replied:

"The King Qin really can't feel at ease."

"But if you can take the land of Huainan without a bloody sword, can King Qin not take it?"

"One day, even if King Qin finds an excuse to point his soldiers to Jiangdong...I can retreat to Baiyue and rely on the terrain to deal with it."

"Jiangdong is the land of Heze, why should King Qin fight for it?"

Xiang Yan thinks about it and feels right.

Previously, Chu State faced such a problem when it destroyed Yue:

The Jiangdong water network is densely covered with jungles, and the terrain determines that the attack will have to pay a heavy price, but after the capture, there is not much benefit.

What's the point of fighting this battle?

Why not invite peace and autonomy?

So there was the Xiang family of Chu.

The current situation is almost the same, except that the original Xiang clan has become Chu Wangqi.

Xiang Yan is actually a very loyal person.

It should be said that this is the commonality of the Xiang family. At the beginning, the Xiang family was placed under the state of Wu. After the Yue King Goujian destroyed the state of Wu, the Xiang family did not fall. Although he failed to restore the state of Wu, he avoided Zhenze until the state of Chu destroyed Yue... …So he accepted Chu State's recruitment.

In fact, there is a principle of "the survival of the fittest by the natural selection of the material competition".

Because if a small tribe like the Xiang clan is not united and unfaithful, it will easily fall apart and dissipate to the other tribes without any shadow.

The reason why Xiang has been able to develop from hundreds of years to now and even in the future is able to compete with Liu Bang for the world, because of his unity and loyalty.

The historical Xiang Yan also died for the defeat of Chu State...At that time, he could completely escape into Jiangdong with the Xiang family.

But loyalty does not mean foolish loyalty. If Chu Wang Qidu was considering whether he should adapt to the situation and avoid Jiangdong and claim the court, then Xiang Yan would no longer insist.

He just reminded the king of Chu to start:

"The subordinate has no objection to this, but the subordinate hopes that the king will carefully consider two things."

"First, are the nobles in Huainan willing to surrender, and where will they go after surrender?"

"Secondly, our courtiers are asking for life change. The king is the blood of the royal family. Can King Qin tolerate you..."

Xiang Yan's remarks are very pertinent.

Among them, especially the second point... If Xiang Yan is only for her own life, then he will not even mention this point, just pretend not to know.

Chu Wangqi thought for a while, then replied:

"If the nobles don't surrender, they will have the Qin army to deal with."

"As for the widow... if you go on like this, how lucky is it?"

"After the drop, there will be breathing time and a glimmer of life."

"From now on, it's all about Xiang Qing's life or death for widows!"
