Chapter 90: Training Special Warfare Recommends the Governor

The war changed direction because of Gongsun Jian's violent intervention. This was something that was not expected by all parties. So except for Zhao, all the three kingdoms of Qi, Wuyue and Yue sent envoys to see Gongsun Jian, wanting to find out what Gongsun Jian really thought. And Gongsun Jian sneered vigorously, Lao Tzu just won't tell you, who told you not to take me to play?

Gongsun Jian's attitude made even the generals under him a little confused. Lord, who should we fight? You can't come all the way just to see the excitement, right? And Gongsun Jian had a plan in his heart, and he had been waiting for this opportunity to appear. And this opportunity is an opportunity that even he himself has not thought about and seen clearly.

To be exact, it's like a cat scratching a mouse, whoever moves first will hit him! Gongsun Jian's original purpose was to take advantage of them, but now his thinking has changed, whether it is Wu or Zhou, as long as he can effectively annihilate their forces, it will be of great benefit to him in the future. As for Qi Guo, hehe, what does life or death have to do with yourself? Moreover, in the current situation, once there is no threat from Wu and Zhou, Zhao may not be able to capture Qi. But don't forget that once the war of annihilation is launched, it must be done with all its might, and there is still a Xigong on the west side of Zhao State.

The four field divisions that confronted Wu stayed on the border line and did not cross a single step. Just waiting. As if waiting for the final order to attack. And the same is true of the pro-army Zhou army in the territory of Qi State.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely weird, and no one knew what Gongsun Jian's heart was. But neither side dares to take it lightly. In this way, time passed little by little, and the parties could no longer sit still. They sent people to inquire about Gongsun Jian. Gongsun Jian's words are very simple, you don't even notify me of the fight, so I have no interest in participating. It's just that it's a pity not to take a look at such a lively scene. So I'm just a passer-by.

Wu Yue was angry on both sides, what do you think the excitement is doing with so many troops? But now that I think about it, Gongsun Jian is sure that he is angry, everyone promised him to do it together, but he was left aside at the last moment, and no one will feel better.

So the envoys of Wu and Yue put down their bodies and began to negotiate conditions with Gongsun Jian again, Gongsun Jian's personality is a little good, that is, if you give me face, I will give you face. And you have to give me some cheap for everything. The cheap he wants is not like Emperor Wu, what he wants is a real cheap. And not those who promised to go out in vain.

In the end, Wu and Yue reached an agreement with Gongsun Jian, even if Gongsun Jian did not send troops this time, the land of Qi and the two prefectures near the border of Xingding Province could be given to Gongsun Jian without any conditions. Although Gongsun Jian was not very satisfied with this, he finally nodded and agreed. As a result, the Zhou army in Qi began to retreat, while the four field divisions stationed on the border of Wu quickly retreated to Zhenyuan Pass. However, what no one knew was that after this army retreated, it immediately turned around and entered the territory of Qi from the east. Begin to prepare the plan for the next stage according to Gongsun Jian's instructions.

Gongsun Jian never believed that pie would fall from the sky, nor did he believe that Wu Yue Gaugar would finally give away his land of two mansions in vain. It's good to be able to finally get rid of Qi Guo without joining forces to attack yourself. They also expect others to move their territory. Therefore, Gongsun Jian has his own plans. I'll get what I need myself.

After learning of the retreat of Gongsun Jian's army, Wu and Yue launched another attack against the Qi army* almost simultaneously. Qi is also worthy of desperate stubborn resistance, and the front line on Wu's side is better, after all, the number of troops that Wu came this time is not large, there are 40,000 people led by the right general Wu Chengtian. And although there are not many Qi troops here, they are all defending the city. Even after losing several county towns in a row, they were gradually able to resist the attack of Wu State, and the current war between the two sides was very stalemate.

However, the fight between Qi and Zhou is particularly lively, the two sides have been old rivals for many years, and they know each other and have an irresolvable hatred. Therefore, the desperate battle of the tip of the needle against Maimang.

The two sides fought for three days in a row, and each side suffered a lot of losses. But it is precisely because of this that whoever can hold on to the Tao will surely win in the end. And from the north of Zhou, that is, the south of Qi, all the way north is where the capital of Qi is located, and it is also the most prosperous and wealthy area of Qi. If it can be taken here, then it can be said that Zhou will be the party that has the greatest advantage among the three kingdoms. Therefore, Zhou Guo's side is also riveting.

Unsurprisingly, the war has changed. Not for anything else, because Gongsun Jian turned around and came back with his army. But this time it's not as simple as coming back. Taking advantage of the decisive battle between the two sides on the fourth day, the rapid support division under Ma Teng suddenly appeared on the battlefield and entered the ranks of the Vietnamese army without saying a word. This time, the balance of war was completely tilted. The rear army was attacked, and the front army was naturally no longer able to fight. Therefore, the Zhou army was defeated almost instantly, and it became a mess. As if it had been agreed with the Zhou army a long time ago, the Qi army attacked with all its members, constantly pursuing the defeated army of the Zhou State all the way, and did not give the opponent a chance to retreat and flee for his life.

The battle lasted from day to night, and the soldiers of the Zhou State were still fleeing for their lives, but this time they did not have that good luck at all. Because Gongsun Jian with an amphibious warfare division and a special operations brigade is waiting for them on the way. According to Gongsun Jian's deployment, Ding Feng's amphibious division was responsible for annihilating the opponent's large-scale troops, while Xie Wu's special operations brigade was divided into pieces and fought separately, responsible for annihilating the defeated Zhou troops that had run away.

The battle lasted three days before it ended, and Gongsun Jian's Zhou army and the Northern Qi army annihilated a total of 13,000 Zhou* soldiers and captured 25,000. In the end, the number of defeated troops who fled back to the territory of Zhou was less than 2,000.

According to the agreement reached between Gongsun Jian and Qi State, all the prisoners of war of the Vietnamese army in this battle, as well as the grain, grass, baggage and other items discarded by the Vietnamese army, all belonged to Gongsun Jian. And after helping Qi completely remove the threat from the south and west, Qi will also give up the land of the two provinces to Gongsun Jian.

As a result, Wu Junke in the west became the next unlucky target. After defeating the Zhou state, the Qi* army turned to the west and suddenly launched an all-out attack on the Wu army with the local garrison. After learning the news of the defeat of the Zhou State and Gongsun Jian's support for the Qi State, the Wu army suddenly lost the courage to fight again, so they retreated all the way, preparing to flee back to the Wu State in embarrassment, but unfortunately Gongsun Jian would not let them go so easily. Four field divisions were waiting for them on their way back. And so a great war broke out again. The losing side was naturally the Wu army, and the 40,000-strong troops were completely annihilated by the Zhou army and the Qi army.

So far, there has been no war on the southwest side of Qi State, and Qi State is also very trustworthy, and the land of the two provinces near the side of Zhou State in the southwest of Qi State is owned by Gongsun Jian. Moreover, the two sides have also reached a strategic partnership, in which either side is attacked by Wu and Vietnam, the other side has the obligation to send troops to help and provide all possible support.

It can be said that the result of Wu and Yue not taking Gongsun Jian to play this time was to steal chickens and rice, and they lost their wives and soldiers. In the end, it was just cheaper Gongsun Jian. Although the Qi State lost the land of the two provinces, it was exchanged for a respite, so it could also transfer most of the troops in its hands to the north to resist the invasion of the Zhao State.

Without the containment of Wu and Yue in the southwest, the war in the north of Qi gradually fell into a stalemate. Seeing that the plan was bankrupt, Zhao Guo also quit his troops soon after, and began to negotiate peace with Qi State. However, these things are not what Gongsun Jian has to care about now, and he is now ready to let Wu and Zhou Guo have some blood.

The land of the two prefectures ceded by the Qi State is not adjacent to the territory currently occupied by Gongsun Jian, and there is also a state capital of the Zhou State in between. Therefore, Gongsun Jian once again went to the court of the Zhou State, hoping that the Zhou State could assign the state capital in the middle to the subordinates of the King of Zhou. For Gongsun Jian's excessive request, Zhou Guo naturally will not agree, and Gongsun Jian is not nonsense, if you don't give it to you, I will take it myself. As a result, the army, which had not yet returned, immediately moved south from the territory of Qi to attack the Shizhou capital of Zhou.

Only half a month later, the entire territory of Shizhou Mansion fell into the hands of Gongsun Jian. At this point, the territory controlled by Gongsun Jian expanded again, and the Shizhou Prefecture in the northern part of the Zhou State and Xingding Province and the two prefectures ceded by the Qi State fell under Gongsun Jian's rule. It was named Beixin Province by the Zhou Palace, and Xu Huaizhi, the former Chief of Staff of the Zhou Palace, temporarily assumed the position of governor. After ten days of rest, Gongsun Jian's army triumphed. And Li Wenfang represented Gongsun Jian as an envoy to Wu for the third time.

Li Wenfang's envoys became more and more arrogant every time, and this time they even pointed their nostrils to the sky. The gaze in his eyes towards those ministers of Wu was full of disdain and disdain. But the ministers of Wu were helpless, although their side not only suffered a loss, but was also caught by the other party. Besides, the strength of Gongsun Jian's army is obvious to everyone now, and Wu has lost nearly seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses several times before and after, so where does Wu still have the capital to confront the other party.

Although Li Wenfang's attitude is very arrogant on the surface, he is still measured in his heart. When he saw Empress Wu in the court of Wu, he seemed to express his greetings to Emperor Wu on behalf of Gongsun Jian, and then conveyed the greetings of Sun Zhilan, the concubine of King Zhou, that is, Sun Zhilan, the daughter of Emperor Wu, to her father. At the same time, he handed over a so-called handwritten letter written by Sun Zhilan to his father.

The letter was naturally written by Sun Zhilan herself, but the content was indeed written by Feng Huaidao and a few people after pondering it repeatedly, and then asked her to copy it. Roughly speaking, Wu and King Zhou are in-laws, and the two sides should abide by each other's agreements, otherwise there will be conflicts and wars one day, which makes it very difficult for him to be caught between a daughter and a wife. Originally, King Zhou was going to raise all the soldiers and horses in his territory to attack Wu, but for the sake of his daughter's face, he would forget it later. It's just that the daughter is not a concubine after all, even if she is a concubine, it is better for King Zhou to give face once or twice, but if you give too much, the ministers under her will not agree. In addition, I am now pregnant with the flesh and blood of King Zhou, that is, your grandson. Let's talk and act as a family in the future, and be honest with each other, okay?

After reading a letter, I almost didn't anger Emperor Wu to death. But when I calmed down and pondered carefully, I immediately understood the meaning. This is simply a threat to himself, but it also saves a lot of face for himself. At present, Wu really has no ability and Gongsun Jian to break out another big war. Although with the power of the Wu State, it is impossible for Gongsun Jian to destroy himself, but if he repeatedly fails or even loses the country, then the foundation of Emperor Wu's rule will inevitably be shaken.

In the end, Emperor Wu warmly welcomed Li Wenfang and his entourage, and said that Wu and Zhou Wangfu were friendly and intimate, and that they would never betray each other, and that they would be more intimate and united in the future.

After saying a lot of nonsense, the actual things also need to pay some money. For example, in the future, the price of salt and iron exported to Wu through the territory of King Zhou will be increased by 20%, and the goods of Wu in the past will be increased by 10% tariff, etc. In addition, Wu paid 2 million taels of silver to King Zhou's territory as compensation, but said to the outside world that this was not compensation, but a congratulatory gift to his soon-to-be-born grandson.
