Now the royal family is similar to Zhou Tianzi during the Warring States Period. Although the imperial power is in decline, he is still the king of the world after all, and his name is justified, regardless of whether the kings can afford Shang Rui or not, but everyone has a tacit understanding.

It's a disguised checks and balances. Now hearing what King Yan said, King Ling pondered for a moment and said: "If you take the land of the royal family, then to put it mildly, it will be committed by the princes, and the other countries will not hold on to this point and talk about it." ”

"Huh? Brother Lingwang was too worried. King Yan waved his hand and said, "If it was in the past, it might have been like this, but now, the war of the Jin Kingdom has involved all the countries, this is a rare opportunity." ”

"Well...... There is some truth. The Spirit King nodded slowly, and then asked, "How do you plan?" ”

"Brother Lingwang can take the south of Huaiyang, and this king will take the north of Huaiyang." Yan Wang Dao. The Spirit King thought for another moment and said, "In this way, it is feasible, but the imperial capital cannot be moved for the time being. ”

"If you don't move, don't move, and it's good to leave a place for the Shang family to live." The Flame King chuckled. The current situation, in summary, is that after Qin Liang attacked Jin, the Jin State was defeated all the way, and the countries saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they all sat down to collect fishermen, and Yan Ling took the opportunity to start taking the territory of the Son of Heaven.

For a time, in the Central Plains, chaotic battles broke out again, and there were swords and soldiers everywhere, but Xuanguo stayed out of the matter. After Yan Ling used troops against Huaiyang, he intended to divide it from here, set up two counties of Huainan and Huaibei, and at the same time, began to devour the territory of the Son of Heaven from the periphery.

Shang Rui, who heard the news, immediately panicked, and said again and again: "This and this, I have never offended the Spirit King and the Yan King, why did these two countries send troops to Huaiyang." Dong Hua said: "Your Majesty, the world is in turmoil, and the two kingdoms of Yanling see that they are unprofitable, and they want to seek the land of the royal family. ”

"Well, what should I do?" Shang Rui's six gods have no master. Dong Hua said again: "Anyway, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and now that the princes are committed, they must send troops to suppress it!" ”

"But, that's the two kings of the Flame Spirit."

"This ......" Dong Hua also swallowed his saliva, but still said: "But if Your Majesty doesn't care about it and allows the two kingdoms to occupy the land, the majesty of the Son of Heaven will be lost, and it will increase the arrogance of the princes." ”

"Then, let Lu Bolin send troops?" Shang Rui asked tentatively, he was the Son of Heaven, and he said in such a tone.

When Dong Hua heard this, he was a little silent. Don't look at what he said, if you really want to send troops, can you suppress it?

But no matter what, in the end, Lu Bolin still took the imperial team and went to Huaiyang, and at the same time, Shang Rui also sent an envoy to ask the two kings of Yanling.

As a result, after his envoy arrived, he didn't say anything, and was sent away by King Yan. Subsequently, Lu Bolin was forced to be helpless, so he could only symbolically resist, but the Yan Army and the Spirit Army, that is not a joke with you, as soon as you go to the battlefield, either you die or I die.

With the combat strength of the Lu family's army, there was no suspense in this battle, but he was beaten on the ground by the second army of Yanling, and Lu Bolin also lost his armor all the way and fled back to the imperial capital in a hurry.

On the other side, Xuzhou. At this time, the Qin army had already joined forces. Su Yi had arrived in Xuzhou before, and after arriving, he also launched several strong attacks on the city, but the Jin army resisted desperately, and the two sides suffered losses from each other.

Right now, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals are discussing the troops. Xiao Yuan took the lead in saying: "Since our army attacked Jin, the war has lasted for a year, after taking Yiyang and Puyang, our army has completely penetrated into the hinterland of Jin, but to get to the Jin capital, you must pass this Xuzhou City." ”

"Now, most of the troops of the central army of the Jin State are in Xuzhou, and this city is the last favorable barrier for the enemy. As he spoke, he also looked at Lin Chu and asked, "What did you find out about Du Yu, the defender of Xuzhou?" ”

"Back to the king, according to the intelligence collected by our army, on the whole, Du Yu is not a famous general, although he has fought many wars, but he is generally Ren Ying's deputy general, there are no great advantages, and there are no big shortcomings." The two armies are facing each other, studying the main generals of the other side, knowing oneself and knowing the other, is what Xiao Yuan must do every time.

Now after listening to what Lin Chu said, he also groaned for a while, and said: "In this way, this is a decent general, this kind of person, he will not be easily fooled, and it is quite difficult for him to defend the city." As he spoke, he glanced at the generals again, and asked out loud: "How to break Xuzhou, do you have any good suggestions?" Everyone subconsciously glanced at each other, then frowned slightly and pondered.

Su Yi said: "King, Weichen thinks that if you want to break Xuzhou, you have to fight a tough battle. ”

"Xuzhou City, one of the largest giant cities in the Jin Kingdom, the city defense is solid and tall, the Jin army is based on the city and defends, occupying geographical advantages, and its main general Du Yu is a conservative person with soldiers, no matter what, he will not take the initiative to switch to meet the enemy, at the same time, he also knows very well that if Xuzhou is broken, the Jin capital is in danger, therefore, it will be in Xuzhou to fight to the death, and our army wants to break through here, there is no shortcut, only to attack!" After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"What do you think?"

"Now, I'm afraid there is no other way." A general said.

"Good! Then attack! With the Jin army, fight the courage of the soldiers! Xiao Yuan immediately made a decision. The next day, under his military order, more than 200,000 Qin troops approached the city of Xuzhou.

Flags are displayed, and long halberds are numerous. The soldiers of the Qin army were lined up into several phalanxes, looking at a line horizontally and a line obliquely.

Black armor and red tassels, overwhelming. At the head of the city, Du Yu was in the middle, looking at Qin Junjun's appearance, his face was somewhat unpleasant.

At this time, his lieutenant general began to say: "General, looking at the number of the Qin army, the sky and the earth are not in sight, and there is no end in sight, I am afraid that I have poured the strength of the country into attacking my Xuzhou, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

"No matter what, Xuzhou, don't lose it!" Du Yu said in a deep voice.

"Of course, the last general understands! Our soldiers, even if they die in battle, will never take a step back! Adjutant General Zhengse said.

"Yes." Du Yu nodded and said, "No matter how brave the Qin army is, with the strength of Xuzhou's city defense, they don't want to take a step!" And in the city, our army's food, grass and ordnance are inexhaustible, and there are 100,000 troops, which resist the enemy several times, which is not a problem at all! ”

"What the general said is reasonable." The adjutant general agreed. At this time, the camp of the Qin army also changed.

"Prepare for the arrow array!" Countless soldiers began to run forward and put pots of arrows on the ground.

The sound of rubbing the armor sounded, and the soldiers in the front row raised their bows and arrows one after another, directly filling them up, and pointing obliquely into the air.

The sound of mechanical bouncing came and went, and the huge crossbow machine was pulled apart by the joint force...... Every time the Qin army goes down, it will wreak havoc in advance with an arrow array.
