The tavern announced the army, but a small episode, the armies of other countries, the situation was more serious.

The Liang army and the Huan army even had the behavior of burning, killing and looting.

That night, the Allied meeting place.

In the hall, a temporary sand table has been erected.

Xiao Yuan, the two kings of Xuan and Ling, have arrived, and King Liang and King Huan are walking inside, but they seem to be arguing about something.

"This matter is the fault of the Liang army, and the brother of the king of Liang must give this king an explanation......"

"What, this, that! There was just a little friction among the soldiers below, and Brother Huan Wang was too much of a fuss......"

From the conversation, it can be heard that Huan Jun should have been bullied by Liang Jun.

At this time, the two also walked in, King Huan was obviously very dissatisfied, and immediately said to Xiao Yuan: "Brother Qin, as the initiator of the alliance, what do you say about this matter!" ”

Before Xiao Yuan could speak, King Liang was already frowning and reprimanded: "What to do!" You're still energetic, aren't you? ”

"What kind of attitude do you have! The king of this king and the king of the country......"

"This king is also the king of a country!"

The two quarreled again, everyone has the same identity, they are both monarchs, this quarrel can be imagined.

Although it is only a small contradiction, if it goes on like this, the Allies will still fart! Sooner or later, it will get bigger and bigger.

The other three kings all frowned, especially King Xuan, who already showed impatience on his face.

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said in a flat voice: "The two of you have made enough trouble, right?" ”

"Humph!" The two kings of Huan Liang snorted coldly.

"I want to remind you, Allies, that they are not a rabble!" Xiao Yuan said again.

Hearing this, the second king quieted down.

Xiao Yuan glanced at the two of them, and no longer talked about it, but turned the topic to business, and said:

"According to the available military intelligence, Yue Zheng, the commander of the Yan army, set up several lines of defense after the imperial capital, which is about two hundred miles away."

"I'm waiting for the allies, after entering the Bishui Pass, there are several key roads, which can advance into the territory of the Yan Kingdom."

"Yes, Bai Lin."

"Deer City."

"Kyoguchi."

"And Deyang."

Xiao Yuan said, also drew out his sword, and began to gesture on the sand table.

And the kings gathered around and watched attentively.

He continued: "And because of the open map, it is no longer appropriate for our allies to join forces in one place because of the wide map. ”

"Concentrate superior forces, maybe you can break through in a straight line, but in the same way, there are many drawbacks, if you are not careful, once the allies are frustrated, they will be defeated on the whole front, and we can't ignore Yue Zheng's person."

"To use a simple analogy, with Yue Zheng's talent, he may be able to block the Qin army, but there is no second Yue Zheng to block the Liang army and the spirit army."

"The commanders of the allied forces are all famous generals, if the Yan army has only one Yue Zheng to match, then we will pull multiple fronts and fight the shortcomings of his lack of talent."

As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, everyone thought about it, and then the Spirit King nodded: "This point, Brother Qin Wang is indeed reasonable. ”

King Liang said: "It's best to divide the troops!" When the time comes, see who fights the most cities! ”

Xiao Yuan looked at King Xuan again.

The latter said in a flat voice: "It is the best strategy to advance in unison on multiple fronts, and this king has no opinion on this at all." ”

"That's good!" Xiao Yuan immediately said:

"Since you have no objections, then the allied forces will be arranged according to this strategy, with the Liang army attacking Bailin, the Xuan army attacking Lucheng, the Ling army attacking Jingkou, and the Qin army attacking Deyang.

"As for the logistics supply of the allied forces, and their support, the Huan army is in charge."

Hearing this, King Huan immediately said: "No problem, no problem, all the royal brothers and brothers can rest assured, the Huan army will be personally in charge of the king, and the food and grass will definitely arrive on time." ”

The Spirit King pondered for a moment and said, "Although the strategic arrangement is no problem, this king thinks that it is better for the Spirit Army to attack Deyang." ”

There is no doubt that he is afraid that Xiao Yuan, as the initiator of the alliance, will formulate a strategy, and then let the Qin army fight well.

It's an old fox.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "No problem, then the Qin army will attack Jingkou, and the spirit army will attack Deyang." ”

"Good! That's it! ”

This is a big strategic approach, not a tactical one.

As for the Liang Army and the Xuan Army, how they fight depends on their respective domestic commanders and strategists.

After the council, the kings returned to their respective lodgings.

On King Liang's side, the strategist Cai Yan followed behind him, and couldn't help but say: "King, there was a small friction with the Huan army today, and he is responsible for the logistics and supply of the allied forces. ”

"Does he have the guts?" King Liang asked rhetorically, and said: "Yu Huanjun is in charge of this matter, and it is also a matter of supply lines, there is no way." ”

He was right, King Huan really didn't dare to mess around, otherwise, he would have offended the entire alliance.

On the other hand, regarding the five kingdoms of Yan, on the one hand, King Yan took Yue Zheng as his commander, and on the other hand, he naturally sent envoys to the two kingdoms of Wu and Chu, which did not move.

He wanted to win over Wu and Chu, forming a scuffle between the eight countries and chaos in the world, but Wu Chu obviously didn't dare to take it.

There are many factors in this, and the name accounts for a large part.

After the Yan envoy arrived in the capital of Wu, before he met the king of Wu, in the palace study, many ministers of the state of Wu began to ask to see one after another, and people's rhetoric was almost the same, all of them suggested that the king of Wu should not be involved in this matter.

There is also a minister who said: "King, the Yan envoy is here, the purpose is obvious, but no matter what he says, even if it is a big deal, my country cannot help Yan......"

"This matter, this king has his own decision, the ministers don't have to worry, as for the Yan envoy, the state of etiquette in my Wu country, what should be seen, let's meet." King Wu said lightly.

The next day, the main hall of the court.

After the envoy of the Yan Kingdom came in, he first saluted King Wu, and then explained his intention straight to the point.

He told King Wu that as long as Wu Guoken sent troops, even if it was just to contain the Five Nations Alliance, then Yan Guo would be grateful! even did not hesitate to cut land and bribe silver.

In the situation of the countries competing for hegemony, the temptation of ceding land and bribing silver is actually very great, and under normal circumstances, basically no king will refuse.

But at the moment, the situation clearly does not allow it.

After hearing this, King Wu first smiled, and then said in a calm voice: "If this king helps Yan, it is not a question of whether he can send troops, but a matter of rebellion. ”

"Your Highness......" Yan Envoy wanted to say something.

But King Wu had raised his hand slightly: "The envoy doesn't need to say much, if there is nothing else to do, let's step back for the time being." ”

"This ......" Yan made his face look ugly for a while.

To be honest, if it weren't for the etiquette at that time, King Wu wouldn't have bothered to see him, and the Chu State could also be imagined.
