Chapter 1431

Abolish enfeoffment and change counties.

In recent years, it has been a hot topic in the state of Chu, but the court did not make it clear.

It is said that the old Chu emperor had this plan when he was in power.

It's just about the national system. It's about great things.

The system formed for a long time is not so easy to change.

One is not very good, and there will be big problems.

The enfeoffment system of Chu was deeply rooted.

There were thirty-six princes and kings.

That's not a small number.

It seems that they often have disputes. Once they face this problem, they are bound to unite.

That's for sure.

Xiang Yan's words also made several princes and kings silent.

Even Xiang Tai is no exception.

Other generals and civil servants on the scene bowed their heads. This issue is not something they can discuss at will.

Chu has experienced a long war.

At the beginning of the war of Qi Chu.

At that time, there were enemy countries on all sides.

When the crisis came, the princes and kings were extremely United.

After resistance.

A new war has begun.

For such a long time, the central army of the imperial court has not moved!

It's just food and grass support for military supplies.

They're not stupid.

The imperial court must have intended to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of the vassal states.

Now, it's more and more obvious.

Now, there is no way.

Because the enemy's attack began with the vassal states.

Just like hengguo.

Hengguo was the first to bear the brunt of the Allied attack.

Can Xiang Tai, as hengwang, not do his best?

This is his vassal state.

To the east of hengguo is Yasukuni and the peace kingdom.

Once hengguo is lost, the two countries will face war.

They all know the truth of the death of lips and the cold of teeth.

We can only send troops.

This is basically the case.

In terms of system, the vassal states belong to the vassal kings and have absolute autonomy.

So there is no way!

Only hardtop.

This one is now.

Before winning, they didn't consider this level. Now they are faced with a big defeat, which makes them realize the reality.

It's time to think about that.

The situation is not optimistic.

It's still grim.

There was a moment of silence.

Xiang Tai was the first to come back. He was originally talking about the war. How did he talk about it.

It's a terrible emotion.

Even if there is discontent, it is not now.

Chaos in the face of war is a very terrible thing.

"We are all close to each other. I believe you all understand the truth that every country is prosperous and every country is damaged

Xiang Tai said in a deep voice: "the enemy is at present, not for others, even for ourselves, we should do our best!"

"Of course, there must be follow-up support. As far as I know, in addition to the withdrawal of Qi, the reinforcements of Wu, Ba and Wei are on their way and will arrive in a few days!"

"In addition, I will personally write to your majesty and ask the imperial court to send troops for assistance. This attitude must be positive!"

"Before that, I hope that we can work together to win a win-win situation for the enemy. With constant reinforcements, we will surely win the final victory."

Xiang Tai's words finally brought back the topic of some deviation, and stabilized people's mind for the time being.

He knew it was only temporary.

Because the bad signs have appeared, the imperial court must take a positive attitude.

Otherwise, there will be emotions.

Abolish enfeoffment and establish prefectures and counties.

This is not acceptable to all princes and kings, including him

"There is also the problem of Xiang Zhi that must be dealt with."

Xiang Fu said coldly, "don't think about fishing in troubled waters."

"Good."

Xiang Tai said: "I will personally send a letter to him to inquire about the situation. The killing of King Jin should be a wake-up call for us, not a fight, trying to take advantage of..."

His statement has finally stabilized people's mood.

Xiang Tai continued: "the loss is huge. It's hard for us to gain absolute superiority. Fortunately, Nanwang provided support in time, but our morale is low. I'm afraid it's not right to force an attack at this time..."

It's also recognized by others.

Xiang Ping said in a deep voice: "it's very difficult for the enemy to fight steadily and advance step by step."

"Yes

Xiang Yan also echoed: "the enemy does not advance rashly. I set up a set of traps to attract them, but they are not deceived. This enemy is unusual."

"It's not the enemy that's unusual, it's the commander in chief that's unusual!"

Xiang Tai said in a deep voice: "before the arrival of reinforcements, we will not take the initiative to attack, stick to our defense line.""Connect and support each other."

"Well, that's the only way."

They are not willing to answer.

Once upon a time, they attacked and the enemy held fast.

Now the situation is reversed.

You can imagine the reluctance in your heart.

Xiang Tai said in a low voice: "I don't think Wang Kang will give us too much time. The next attack will be fierce. You should be ready."

"In addition, when our defense line retreats, we will occupy some cities and villages. I hope you can restrain your soldiers and do not disturb the people of the city. They have suffered enough in the long war!"

"It's said that Heng Wang's benevolence in governing the country made the people of Zhao admire him willingly."

Xiang Yan sighed.

"Heng Wang, we are losing a lot of troops now. Do you think it's time to add some scattered soldiers?"

Xiang Fu said: "under the command of several princes, you have the least scattered soldiers."

"I'll think about it."

Xiang Tai's face was expressionless.

He knew exactly how the stragglers came from.

It's a lot of people who have no jobs, no farmland, no food and clothing, and live at the bottom

They have no choice.

If there is a way, who is willing to bet his life on tomorrow?

Xiang Fu is right.

Among the major princes, he had the least scattered soldiers.

Because there are few such people in hengguo.

He ruled the state of Chu as a special case.

Hengguo's class gap is not so big, the people are rich, live and work in peace and contentment, there is no refugee, naturally there is no willing to be a casual soldier!

But now it's different.

Xiang Tai clenched his fist.

Hengguo is located at the border and bears the brunt of a long war.

No matter how stable the life is, no matter how rich the people's livelihood is, under such trampling, it will no longer exist.

Hengguo, become the main battlefield.

A large number of soldiers entered and affected people's lives.

Although he is on the front line, he knows the national conditions.

Some soldiers are not of high quality. Although they are their own people, they also loot and destroy, because in their view, ordinary people are the lowest class and they don't care. That's why he told his subordinates

There must be a lot of refugees now!

When will the war end?

He sighed in his heart.

As he thought, the peaceful hengguo was greatly damaged by the long war, and there were many refugees.

And in the northwest.

There are many scattered soldiers scattered by Wang Kang.

They have no food, no shelter, and dare not go back.

The scattered soldiers became deserters. They were punished severely and could hardly survive.

They get together with the refugees and form refugee caves. Today, some special people come to such places
