"Today we have you gathered together to ask you to come up with ideas and how to break the current deadlock.

"Mi Fuchu sat upright on the throne, glanced at the ministers with a majestic look on her face, and said with regret: "It is obviously a great situation, but because of General Xiang Yan's repeated defeats, it has become a stalemate. Alas, let's not talk about these things, please give me some advice.

"When I think of the failure, I feel unhappy and don't want to say more.

Xiang Yan went out of his squad and knelt down to apologize and said, "The king is incompetent. I ask the king to punish his ministers for his crimes and to correct the country's laws."

Although Mi Fuchu was unhappy with Xiang Yan, he also understood that he could not live without him at the moment, so he comforted him with kind words: "General Xiang asked him to come up. It is common for victory and defeat to the military, so the general does not have to take it to his heart.

I just sighed and did not mean to blame the general. The general made many great contributions to the Great Chu. If you were to punish you for such a defeat, wouldn’t it be too much? In other words, Zhang Liang, an unknown Korean depraved boy, was able to defeat General Xiang again and again. It was amazing.

"After saying that, it's still hard to let go. Mi Fuchu can't blame him, as anyone else would be very sorry.

He kept nagging, and Xiang Yan heard it, the feeling was really bad. It was like knocking over the five flavor bottle and touching the earth with his head: "Please add troops to the minister to help the war, Xiang Yan promised to destroy the rebels. If Xiang Yan failed, he would not return the troops."

Mi Fuchu was in a state of spirit and immediately asked, "How many more do the general need?"

Xiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "At least 150,000. If there are these 150,000 troops, Xiang Yan will guarantee that the king will achieve great success."

"That's good, but where are you looking for so many people?" Mi Fuchu said with a frown: "Soldiers want to fight, they have to eat and dress them, and they have to give them weapons. All these require money. Where can I do it?

I am so worried. For the sake of war, I sold all my savings for many years. If I continue to fight, I can only sell my official position. You guys, what are you good ideas?”

All the ministers know that they are in extreme embarrassment, and no one has any good ideas. Please look at me. I look at you, I am relatively speechless.

"What's wrong with you? No one has any idea? I support you to have a good meal?" Mi Fuchu came up angry and cursed: "A bunch of rice buckets!"

A minister calmly came out and said, "Please quit the wrath of thunder. I have a plan that may solve the current predicament."

The ministers looked at him and said that Fang Boyan, Mi Fuchu's confidant minister, looked confident. He couldn't help but be curious and wanted to get a glimpse of the truth.

"Oh, really?" Mi Fuchu said impatiently, "Aiqing Fang, what are your tricks? Tell me quickly. Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

Fang Boyan coughed and said slowly: "Have you ever heard of the rebellion and digging the Five Ridges?"

"I know." Mi Fuchu asked, "What does this have to do with what is happening now?"

His words were spoken to the hearts of the ministers, and the ministers agreed in their hearts.

Fang Boyan looked proud of everyone being drunk and I was awake. He said, "The king doesn't know anything. According to me, this matter is not only related to the current matter, but also has a lot to do with it."

Mi Fuchu said curiously: "Then tell me."

Fang Boyan continued: "Can the king know why the rebels took out manpower, material resources and financial resources to build this path when they were in stalemate?"

Not only did Mi Fuchu not think of this problem, but even the ministers did not think of it. Mi Fuchu was simply saying, "I am about to listen to you."

"That's because of rebellion and ulterior motives." Fang Boyan exclaimed and said, "The king knows that there are many natives in Lingnan.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is fertile and the products are abundant. What would happen if the land in Lingnan falls into the hands of the rebels? The land in Lingnan can be cultivated, the people in Lingnan can fight, and there are also the rare treasures of Lingnan, such as rhinoceros horns, ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, and jade from Lingnan, which can be transported to the Central Plains, can be profitable.

The silk and porcelain from the Central Plains were transported to Lingnan. It made a lot of profits. The rebellious intention was sinister. He wanted to gain the profits of Lingnan alone. If Lingnan was allowed to fall into the hands of rebellion, the situation would take a sharp turn, which would be unfavorable to me. Please prepare early.

”

At that time, the people of Chu knew the best of how many benefits were in Lingnan. He immediately woke up Mi Fuchu's monarch and ministers with his words, and there was a lot of discussion, but no one disagreed with him.

Listening to such a wonderful voice of praise, Fang Boyan was very happy and happy to be a god. But he forgot that these words were told by Zheng State, and they were not the result of his own thinking.

Mi Fuchu walked a few steps and made up her mind to say, "So you can't let the rebellion succeed. General Xiang Yan, I want you to send troops immediately to stop the rebellion from developing towards Lingnan. Is the general confident?"

If it were in the past, Xiang Yan would have agreed in one go. Since he suffered a great loss under Zhang Liang, he realized that there was a heaven outside the sky. When he met Zhang Liang, he was always frightened and hesitated and said, "If the king adds troops to me to help with the war, I will definitely complete it."

”

Another meaning of this is that if Mi Fuchu doesn't add troops to him, he will definitely not be able to complete it. Mi Fuchu's face changed suddenly and she said, "If you raise troops for a thousand days, you will be Xiang Yan, and you will become a mother-in-law? Have you hesitated before?"

Xiang Yan took the courage and said, "The king is not that my minister is not trying his best, but as the saying goes, "A good wife cannot cook without rice." If I do not have enough troops, I may not only fail to achieve the goal, but also lose my troops and generals."

Mi Fuchu pointed at Xiang Yan and scolded him, "Xiang Yan, what do you mean is that I am trying to force you?"

Such a thing that did not save Xiang Yan in front of the ministers was the first time in Xiang Yan's memory. He was very embarrassed and blushed. He really wanted to have a crack in the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean this, I don't mean this."

Xiang Yan has been the leader of the trend for a long time, and there are many people who are jealous of him. After hearing Mi Fuchu's scolding, he was secretly happy in his heart. Fang Boyan was the happiest of them. He deliberately did not say anything and let Mi Fuchu embarrass Xiang Yan.

Another reason why he did this was that the less Mi Fuchu could do it, the more likely his proposal would be adopted.

"What do you mean?" Mi Fuchu shouted: "I can't help you."

Xiang Yan knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, so he dared not speak.

After being happy enough, Fang Boyan slowly spoke: "Please quit the anger of thunder, and the minister will offer advice."

Mi Fuchu wanted the most, but after hearing this, she was not in a mood to find Xiang Yan. She glared at Xiang Yan fiercely, and said kindly: "Please speak Fang Aiqing." Even the word "please ask" was used, it was really "a respectful and respectful person".

Fang Bo said in surprise: "King, if you rebel, dig five ridges and open Lingnan, we can also build a passage and complete it before rebellion. We will get more benefits from Lingnan than rebellion, and we will be stronger than rebellion."

"It's good to have a good idea, but we are not as good as the Five Ridges here. The Five Ridges are easier to dig, but it's very difficult to dig here." Mi Fuchu was very regretful.

The ministers responded: "Yes, it's hard to build a road as if you are ascending to heaven."

Fang Boyan glanced at the ministers and asked back: "I'm talking about building a passage, not building a road."
