Saying that, Chen Zhen bowed his hand and said: "King, this battle has come to this point, and it is all because the king has planned properly, so the general trend has been achieved, my Chu country will win, and the Yue country will die." ”

Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this: "Xianqing's words are serious, the current situation is not the strength of a single person, this is the result of the help of all the Qings." ”

As he spoke, he ordered: "Send an order to the rhino head, let him immediately prepare to lead the guard battalion to leave Pingcheng, and go to the army of the Pillar Kingdom with the widows, and the decisive battle has begun." ”

"Yui."

On the same day, Xiong Huai, under the escort of the pro-guard army, rushed to the Chu army camp outside the city.

At the same time, Juchengzhong.

The prince hurriedly said to King Qi: "Great King, it's not good, King Yue has run away." ”

"Ran away?" King Qi asked hesitantly: "Xiangguo, what does it mean that King Yue ran away?" ”

The prince said angrily: "King, the day before yesterday, King Yue swore an oath to the king that after returning to Langya, he would immediately receive Langya, and then transport all the grain in Langya City. Then, on the second day, the king of Yue led his army back south. ”

Saying that, the prince pleaded guilty and said: "Great King, King Yue swore an oath with the Great King, and he never thought of fighting Chu with our Qi country, King Yue just wanted to obtain Langya City, so he carried out diplomatic fraud." ”

"What?" King Qi used the strength to pinch King Yue to death, and his hands were tightly clenched, as if King Yue was in his hands at this time.

Thinking of the scene that happened when the alliance was met the day before yesterday, King Qi became even more resentful.

The so-called happy conversation, the so-called late meeting, the so-called oath to sacrifice to the sky, now that I think about it, it was all King Yue's tricks on him. And he, the king of Qi, in the eyes of the king of Yue at that time, was probably like a clown who jumped off the beam.

Thinking of this, King Qi was furious: "King Yue deceives people too much, it is tolerable, which is unbearable." Since King Yue is shameless, then don't blame the widow for being unkind. The order was issued to Doctor Ju to immediately stop going to Tancheng and go to Langya instead, so as to recapture Langya for the widow. ”

Saying that, King Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Also, after letting Dr. Ju recapture Langya, he will immediately move south to test Ji Yancheng, if the Vietnamese army really withdraws, then recapture Ji Yancheng together." ”

Hearing this, the prince hurriedly spoke: "King, now our primary target is the Chu State, the Yue Kingdom, which is just incidental. ”

King Qi nodded: "Xiangguo, the widow knows, so when Doctor Ju recaptures Langya and goes to Ji Yancheng, the widow will announce to the outside world that our Qi army has defeated the Yue army and is about to raise troops to the south to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army, so as to enhance the determination of the Three Jin Dynasty to fight against the Chu State." ”

Chu Zi breathed a sigh of relief and praised him: "The king is wise." ”

······

In the early morning of the next day, more than 200,000 Chu troops set off for the east.

After the Chu army reached the land of Huaibei in the Yue Kingdom, the cities in Huaibei saw that the Chu army was huge, numerous and menacing. So, under fear and worry, as soon as the army of Chu arrived, the city guard, who had long been worried, sent people to report to the king of Yue who was far away in Qi, and prepared to lose it.

On the other side, the king of Yue, who had just walked to the city, had not had time to take a breath when he received the news that the king of Chu led the Chu army to attack the cities in Huaibei.

After receiving the news, the physically and mentally exhausted King Yue was silent for a long time, and asked Huaibei Shouwang Xing: "General, now that the Chu army is attacking Huaibei on a large scale, it is clear that it is deeply implicated with Ziyu. Can they hold out until the widow returns to Huaibei. ”

Wang Xing pondered for a moment, shook his head, and responded: "King, the minister got the news, not long ago, Gongziyu ordered to collect a batch of grain again in various places in Huaibei, and then burned it again, and now there is no grain in Huaibei. Moreover, in order to attack the Qi State, we have transferred a lot of strong men from Huaibei. Therefore, the current cities in Huaibei are not only short of food, but also do not have enough time to sign strong men.

In this way, if the Chu army attacks the city, it will take five days to attack the city, and seven days to slow it, and the Chu army will block our way back. In addition, the land of Huaibei is a smooth road, so it is also possible that the Chu army will go around the city, so the minister is worried that the Chu army will soon stop us on our way. ”

When King Yue heard that Gongzi Yu spared no effort to calculate him, the father king, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

On the other side, Gongzi was stunned and asked in disbelief: "General, this shouldn't be possible, the counties of Huaibei are still under our control, if the Chu army doesn't attack the city, isn't this a self-cutting retreat?" ”

Wang Xing shook his head and said: "Otherwise, if Gongzi Yu does not rebel, then the Chu army will naturally fall to death, but the current situation is that the strength of the counties in Huaibei is insufficient, and the containment of Gongzi Yu, so even if the counties are not lost, it is difficult to make a difference." ”

Saying that, Wang Xing's face was ugly and said: "What's more, the minister is still worried that the counties will wait and see to protect themselves!" Therefore, no matter what, the minister thought that the king could not put his hope in Huaibei. ”

When King Yue heard this, his breathing suddenly became short, and before he could speak, a person came in to report: "King, it's not good, Langya City is coming to report, the Qi army has been attacking the city for half a day, Langya City has been lost, and now, Doctor Qi Ju is directing the Qi army to go south." ”

The king of Yue is stagnant, and there is a sense of great misfortune and not going alone.

After a long time, he replied with a pale face: "No one knows, retreat." ”

"Yui"

Gongzi looked at King Yue in surprise and asked, "Father, what should I do?" ”

King Yue thought for a while, and said heavily: "The current situation, the former wolf and the tiger, staying here is useless, just a dead end, the only way to live, that is, while the king of Chu has not blocked our retreat, pass through Huaibei in advance, cross the Huaishui, as long as you arrive in Huainan, it will be safe." ”

Hearing this, Gongzi Hoof pondered and asked, "Father, if the King of Chu leads his army around the city and blocks the way back before us, what should we do?" ”

So many things have happened, and now, Childe's hoof is in a mess, and he has lost his usual calm, and at this moment, there is no way at all.

Hearing this, King Yue responded coldly: "If the King of Chu is already blocked on the road, then take advantage of the unstable foothold of the King of Chu and kill a bloody road in one fell swoop." ”

Saying that, King Yue said with confidence: "As long as the widow returns to Huainan, then the Yue country is still in the hands of the widow." ”

Wang Xing immediately arched his hand and said, "The king is wise! ”

King Yue ordered with an expressionless face: "Order all the armies, only carry seven days' rations, and the army will march quickly and go straight to Huaishui." ”

"Yui!"

····

On the other side, Xiong Huai took Gongzi Yu's letter of dedication to the land, and when the persuasion was fruitless, in order to hurry, in order to block the return of King Yue, before King Yue returned.

So, he decisively abandoned the city and led the army around the city.

On the morning of the third day, he arrived at the place where the king of Yue must return to the south, and then set up camp to build fortifications while waiting for the arrival of the king of Yue.
