Chapter 173: A duel between barbarians

Fan Ju's strategy was very successful, and he only used 10,000 soldiers to successfully attract the attention of the princes to Korea. Just when all countries were discussing the six-nation alliance proposed by Chu, Qin suddenly attacked Korea, Chu sent troops, and Zhao's Ma Fujun rushed to South Korea to rescue, which immediately made Korea the center of the war, where the armies of the four countries gathered, and Wei also gathered soldiers on the border with Korea.

It can be expected that if Qin sent reinforcements to Bai Qi, Wei's army would also immediately enter Korea and form a three-nation alliance again to crusade against Qin. In such a situation, there are only two countries that can be watched, the first is the Qi State, the Qi State is not willing to make enemies with any country, and the Qi State, which has experienced a crusade by the Six Kingdoms, has obviously learned from the pain, and attaches great importance to diplomacy with the vassal states.

Because they were allies, Qi paid lip service to South Korea and promised to support the coalition forces, but in reality, Qi did not even gather a large army. Yan State is even more so, the relationship between Yan State and Qin State is not bad, Chun Shenjun sent a guest to persuade King Yan, King Yan is no longer resistant to the alliance, but he will not send people to really help South Korea, all he can do is to wave the flag in the rear.

When spring was about to begin, the Qin State had already gathered in Nanjun, and the army of Nanyang County, under the command of the general Meng Fu, began a fierce attack on the Chu State. Qin's reason is very clear, Chu sent troops to Korea to prevent Qin from taking revenge on Korea. No one thought that the Qin State would suddenly attack the Chu State on a large scale, after all, since the twelfth year of the Qin Dynasty, the eastward expansion and the Three Jin Dynasty was the main strategic direction of the Qin State, and now the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces were allowed to take the initiative to attack the Chu State, which was something that no one had expected.

Qin's secrecy was very good, that is, when the soldiers were mobilized to Nanjun on a large scale, Chu did not get any news, and then ushered in Qin's stormy attack. The generals of the Qin State have their own characteristics, Bai Qi has a strange way of fighting, marches quickly, and is good at annihilating opponents in the movement, while Meng Fu is the opposite of him, Meng Fu always carries out frontal attacks in a dignified manner, and is good at attacking cities and villages, in war, he may not kill many enemies, but the cities captured must be a lot.

Fan Ju took him as his general, obviously to deduct more cities from the Chu State. Meng Ju did not disappoint Fan Ju either, he divided his troops into three routes and launched a fierce attack on the Chu State from three directions, and in just a few days, the Qin army advanced dozens of miles and captured six cities. When the news reached the capital of the king of Chu, the king of Chu and Chun Shenjun were taken aback, before, Chun Shenjun's eyes had always been on South Korea, he expected the Qin State to attack, but he did not expect that the Qin State would attack at this time.

Now is the time of spring ploughing, few people will give up farming at this time to attack other countries, especially Qin, with Huang Xie's understanding of Qin, Qin attaches great importance to agriculture, how can it attack at this time? It's just that he didn't have time to think about it, and when he hurried to the palace, there were warriors wearing armor for the king of Chu. Huang Xie slapped his forehead violently, hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away the warrior, bowed to the king of Chu, and said, "King, please don't be impulsive." ”

Huang Xie is the best friend of the King of Chu, sometimes, the King of Chu doesn't have to speak, Huang Xie can guess his thoughts, now seeing the King of Chu's dress, Huang Xie immediately understood what the King of Chu wanted to do, the King of Chu was really angry, he grabbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and said angrily: "Since the widow ascended the throne, follow your advice, forget the hatred of his father and ancestors, and make friends with the Qin State, but no matter how the widow retreats, the Qin State will not let go of the Chu State!" ”

"Please don't stop the widow, the widow must go to the battlefield in person, and the blade is overwhelmed!" , the king of Chu shouted.

"The king.. Cannot.. No, if you are on the battlefield...", Huang Xie didn't dare to say it explicitly, but his eyes were full of fear, and he grabbed the arm of the king of Chu and refused to let go, the king of Chu frowned and said: "The widow wants to take Qi back to the state of Chu, what do you think?" Huang Xie's face was condensed, and he was a little speechless, the king of Chu has a son, speaking of which, the king of Qin is still the father-in-law of the current king of Chu, when the king of Chu was a proton, he married the daughter of the king of Qin as his wife, and also had a son with her, called Zuoqi.

It's just that the king of Chu has never forgotten his hatred for the Qin State, and after returning to the Chu State, he seems to have forgotten his wife, never asked about it again, and even no longer recognized Qi, so Huang Xie sent a lot of women to the King of Chu, wanting the King of Chu to have an heir earlier, but the King of Chu has never been able to have children, there is no way, Huang Xie sent another daughter, called Li Yan.

Somehow, this Li Yan soon gave birth to a son for the King of Chu, called Zuo Qiang, and later gave birth to Ju. There is also a concubine, but his status is too low to be the prince.

Now that the King of Chu suddenly mentioned that he wanted to take Qi back to the Chu State, Huang Xie suddenly didn't dare to speak. The king of Chu glanced at him, didn't say anything, and said again: "The widow must go, if the widow sits in the Chen capital, waiting for the good news from the battlefield, how can the soldiers dare to fight to the death for the widow?" Huang Xie thought for a long time before he said: "Please don't worry, in the past, the Zhao State and the Wei State were endangered, and it was the Chu State that helped them, and now, they will also come to help the Chu State." ”

"The current situation is not yet dangerous to the point where the king comes to personally command the army and fight to the death against the Qin people, please hand over the battle to me, if the war is unexpected, I will definitely die on the battlefield and will not come back to see you." , Chun Shenjun said seriously, Huang Xie's resoluteness made the King of Chu a little helpless, he helplessly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and sat down on the top again, looking worried.

Huang Xie sat beside him casually, regardless of whether he was seated or not, he said seriously: "The king... I'm not asking you to forget about hatred... It's not for you to let go of your shame.. I will definitely assist you in revitalizing the Chu State, as long as I am alive, I will not forget the great cause of revitalizing the Chu State, please believe me. The King of Chu looked at Huang Xie, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "The widow knows, and the widow will not forget." ”

Huang Xie held the hand of the King of Chu, his eyes gradually became solemn, and he said: "Please wait in the palace for the news of my defeat of the Qin people, if I die on the battlefield, please don't forget to sacrifice me." ”

Walking out of the palace, Huang Xie hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed to a famous courtyard in Chen Duli.

Just walked to the door of the courtyard, I smelled the strong smell of wine, the whole alley was shrouded by this aroma of wine, never stopped, therefore, this is also known as the wine alley by the Chu people, this is the residence of Jingyang, the general of the Chu State. Huang Xie's face was a little unsightly when he smelled the smell of wine, he knocked on the door, knocked for a long time, and no one opened the door, he directly ordered his doorman to kick the door open, and then walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, several burly warriors were drunk on the ground, Jingyang sat in front of the desk, drunk and hazy, and was pouring wine, until he found that the shadow covered his face, Jingyang found Chun Shenjun who was standing in front of him angrily, Jingyang was stunned, smirked and raised the wine cup, looked at Huang Xie, and said, "Please drink full!" Huang Xie kicked Jingyang's body, Jingyang suddenly fell over, and the wine flowed on the ground.

Huang Xie overturned his case again, angrily threw out his wine cup, at this moment, those drunk warriors on the ground stood up one after another, Jingyang seemed to be sobering up in an instant, he stood up, looked at Huang Xie angrily, and scolded: "My wine!" My wine! You're going to pay me! As he spoke, he stepped forward to grab Huang Xie's collar, and Huang Xie punched him in the face, "The army of the Qin State is attacking the Chu State, and you still dare to drink here?!" ”

Jingyang was beaten out of anger, and suddenly hugged Huang Xie's waist, lifted him and threw him on the ground, and then rode Huang Xie, and hit him in the face, Huang Xie's doormen, as well as Jingyang's doormen, were stunned at the moment, they watched the Xiang and the general of Chu State rolling on the ground, scuffling, dumbfounded, no one dared to step forward, and even forgot to pull the rack, "Get out of here!" ”

The doormen looked at each other, but they still walked out of the courtyard and closed the door again.

I don't know how long it took to fight, Chun Shenjun finally gained the upper hand, strangled Jingyang's neck with both hands, pressed him under him, and shouted, "Do you want to drink?" Still drinking?! Jingyang was pressed to the ground, grabbed Chun Shenjun's hand with both hands, but couldn't get it open, his face was suffocated red, he struggled for a long time, and found that he couldn't break free, so he had to put down his hands and said, "Don't drink anymore." ”

Chun Shenjun let go of his hands weakly, and lay on the side, and the two of them lay on the ground panting.

"Hahaha~~", suddenly, Jingyang laughed, and couldn't help coughing, he turned over and looked up at the sky.

"You're finally not willing to back down... I thought you were going to persuade the king to cede Chen Du and flee to the south! Jingyang said.

Chun Shenjun didn't have any intact places on his face, his eyes were a little unopen, and he said seriously: "Don't retreat, don't retreat.... I'm here to sit in the rear, food, ordnance, reinforcements, whatever you need, I'll make it all for you, just cut off the head of the monk! If you are defeated, I will die with you, and if you win, I will drink with you for ten days, no, twenty days! ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Jingyang looked up and laughed.

The state of Chu was quickly mobilized, and the grain and grass from all over the country were transported to the capital of Chen in an orderly manner, and a large number of young people took weapons and began to reorganize, and all kinds of materials continued to enter the capital of Chen, and constantly sent to the battlefield, Huang Xie almost never went out of the mansion, and constantly dealt with these materials. General Jingyang stood on the general's platform, angrily accusing Qin of bullying Chu, and the generals were surprised to find that General Jingyang was not drunk, and he led the Chu people to kill Nanyang.

During the whole march, there was no drop of alcohol.

The king of Chu took out his treasures and rewarded them to the generals, and those soldiers who resisted the Qin people on the battlefield were also worshiped by the king of Chu as Shangqing, and the families of those soldiers who died in battle were also given gifts by the king of Chu, and for a time, the entire Chu country was ready for war. The state of Chu, which endured again and again, may have already held back their anger, and they frantically launched a suicidal counterattack against the Qin people.

Do you think you're the only one who is a brave brute?

General Jingyang rushed to Nanyang, led 100,000 soldiers, and attacked the Chen capital of 60,000 Qin people, Jingyang was extremely brave, personally drove the chariot into the Qin people's array, the two sides fought for two days and two nights, Jingyang General did not retreat, stunned to defeat the vanguard of the Qin people, the Qin people's strategic intention to occupy the Chen capital was broken. Standing on top of the corpse, Jingyang struck his shield with Ge and roared angrily at the sky.

It was a battle between two barbarians, and only the bravest one would win.

The news of Qin's attack on Chu only spread to various countries after spring planting.

In Xinzheng, South Korea, King Han set up a banquet to entertain Ma Fujun, Xiang Xian and others who came to the rescue. Bai Qi has left South Korea, this is the news from the scouts not long ago, King Han is very happy, finally, repelled Bai Qi, and South Korea is safe again. It's just that King Han knows the strategy of being a king, so he doesn't dare to be too happy, but he just keeps his eyes in his eyes, so that people can't see his joy and anger.

Xiang Xian seemed very happy, although he had been defeated several times, but he had indeed completed the strategy, supported South Korea, and repelled Bai Qi, this was his mission. Only Ma Fujun still looks a little sullen, since the elite of Zhao Guo experienced a big defeat, Zhao Kuo can't be happy, only Han Fei, who is standing behind him, knows that this brave general is actually the person who hates war the most.

Zhao Kuo's doorman also got the opportunity to enter the banquet, Xiang Xian was a little drunk, and was grinning and drinking with many warriors of Zhao State, Ge who was present looked at him with disdain, and said: "I don't know, I think he killed Bai Qi!" This sentence made Xiang Xian sober up a little, returned to his seat, and no longer dared to be too happy, Di was happy, and walked directly to the Chu people, chatting with them in the broken Chu language he had just learned, and the Chu people were stunned by him, and they didn't know what he was talking about.

A warrior from the state of Chu rushed into the banquet, and the warrior looked frightened, walked quickly to Xiang Xian's side, and whispered something.

"What?!"

Xiang first sobered up, looked at the warrior beside him in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Kuo.

"Ma Fu-kun... The State of Qin, with Meng Fu as his general, led an army of 150,000 to attack the State of Chu..."

"Heh... After saving South Korea, it is the state of Chu again... I don't know when I'm going to save the Qin Kingdom..."

Ge shook his head and poured himself some more drink.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Xian in front of him, at this moment, he just felt so tired, a deep sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart, he breathed deeply, everything around him was a little inaudible, all he could hear was his tired and heavy breathing, he couldn't speak.

ps: Historical records and Warring States Policy both said that the king of Chu could not have children, Huang Xie made a woman pregnant, and then gave it to the king of Chu, well.... However, later generations also have doubts, after all, he not only has a son, saying that this is a rumor spread for the throne, so I had to combine the two statements a little, which one do you think is reliable?
