Chapter 509: No Choice
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Zhao's mouth, and he arched his hand to his son, Yu Hexi, and said: "Congratulations to Gongzi, the purpose of King Chu's stay in Yinan is, of course, for Gongzi." ”
"For me?" Gongziyu's spirits perked up, and he immediately asked, "Please give me advice!" ”
Zhao smiled and said: "Because of Sikong, the King of Chu is worried about the affairs of Yingdu, and he has no intention of cutting down Qi. Originally, the king of Chu planned to lead his army back south. However, the king of Chu remembered the agreement with his son, so he pressed back to the idea of returning to the teacher, and still stayed in place, wanting to drag the army of the king of Yue and create an opportunity for the prince. ”
"Really?" Gongziyu was overjoyed and unbelievable.
Zhao Hua nodded and said, "The King of Chu sent a message to ask Gongzi to seize this opportunity and act as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be changes later." ”
After speaking, Zhao Slip was silent.
Now, the words of the King of Chu have been passed on to Gongziyu, and now, Zhaohua is not worried that Gongziyu will regret it at all.
Because, at this moment, if Gongziyu still wants to become the king of Yue, or even wants to save the life of his whole family, Gongziyu has no choice.
After years of planning, today's Gongziyu has been driven to a desperate position and has no way out.
He couldn't help but agree.
"This..."
Zhao's slippery sentence changed lately, which suddenly made Gongziyu's mood quite heavy.
In the current situation, the state of Chu already has the intention of returning to the army, if he waits any longer, then the king of Chu will inevitably think that he is timid and afraid of things, and his decision is insufficient, so he will be disappointed and lead the army back to China.
In this way, his foreign aid was cut off.
However, in the current situation, the king of Yue led the army and did not attack the city after a long period of hard fighting, so the army was basically intact, and the morale and fighting spirit were all still there. In this case, Gongziyu's strategy of making the Yue Wang's army run through food shortages is difficult to work.
At this time, Gongziyu launched a mutiny, and Gongziyu was a little worried, worried that King Yue could effectively control the army to return south, but he himself was powerless to resist.
But if he doesn't move at this time, once the King of Yue unites with the Qi State, then he will lose the help of the Chu State, in this case, it undoubtedly shows that he has no chance to fight back.
Thinking about it, Gongziyu made up his mind, looked at Zhao Slip, and asked him the question he was most concerned about:
"Sir, if I raise troops in Wucheng, then where will the reinforcements of the Chu State come from? When will troops be dispatched? When can I get to Kure? ”
Gongziyu was very skeptical that with the state of Chu at war against Qi and Wei at the same time, the state of Chu would still be able to come up with enough troops to help him.
As soon as Zhao Hua heard Gongziyu ask this question, he suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, at this moment, Gongziyu had already taken the bait.
Thinking about it, he immediately responded: "Son, the army led by the King of Chu will continue to stay in Yinan, and the army led by Sima will also continue to stay in the Wei State." Therefore, the army of Chu will start from the land of Jianghan, and then go down the river, if the road is unimpeded, within seven days, you can reach Wucheng. ”
"As for the time of sending troops?" Zhao Hua looked at Gongzi Yu, and continued: "The King of Chu has already ordered the Si to defeat Tang Yu to gather troops in Yingdu, just wait for Gongzi to speak, and the 80,000 Chu troops in Yingdu can go south." ”
Gongziyu nodded when he heard this, and responded: "Please go back for the time being, and I will start arranging." ”
Zhao Slip saw that Gongziyu's eyes showed a blazing heat, and he seemed to have made up his mind, so he nodded and arched his hand: "Yes, Childe!" ”
After speaking, Zhao slid a gesture to Gongzi Yuyi, and then got up and left.
After Zhao slipped away, Gongziyu immediately got up, came to the outside of the study, and ordered: "Please ask General Zhang Yi to come over the mansion." ”
"No."
Soon.
Still in this study, Gongzi Yu and Zhang Yi sat opposite each other.
Zhang Yi saw that Gongziyu's face was complicated, and after inviting him to the study, he didn't say anything for a long time.
So, he asked: "Childe, I don't know what the matter is for the minister to come here." ”
Hearing Zhang Yi's inquiry, Gongziyu glanced at him fixedly, then groaned again, and finally, after making up his mind, he sighed and said, "General, Fang Zhaohua came here and brought news from the Chu State..."
After informing Zhang Yi of what Fang Cai Zhaohua said, Gongziyu asked worriedly: "General, now I am uneasy in my heart, I don't know what a chance we have to win at this time." ”
Zhang Yi looked at Gongziyu, was silent for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "Childe, if you miss this opportunity, dare to ask if there is a next time?" ”
Gongziyu sighed when he heard this, what Zhang Yi said was the most helpless place in his heart.
If this opportunity is missed, will there be a next time?
Thinking about it, he sighed: "What the general said is very true, now that we have no choice, we have lost the support of the Chu State, I am afraid that we will never turn over." ”
Zhang Yi saw that Gongzi's jade matter was coming, but he lacked confidence, and his heart sank suddenly.
As early as more than ten years ago, Zhang Yi had begun to bet on Gongziyu and took refuge with his family.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and Zhang Yi has been closely linked with Gongziyu and cannot be separated. And between Gongziyu and Gongzi's hoof, it is already the same fire, and it is difficult to coexist.
Therefore, not only Gongziyu, but also Zhang Yi, can only succeed, not fail.
Once it fails, let Gongzihu inherit the throne of King Yue, so will Gongzihu easily let go of Gongziyu and his Zhangyi?
Zhang Yi has never doubted this.
Fangzheng, Zhang Yi had no intention of letting go of the public master who had been grudges with him for more than 20 years.
Thinking about it, he puffed up and said: "Gongzi don't worry, the minister received the news, just as Zhao Hua said, the king of Chu has not withdrawn from the territory of Qi, and the countries are still at war, so the king will not be able to get out of Qi in a short time." What's more, now the king is still outside Langya City, thousands of miles away from Wu City, and has penetrated deep into the territory of Qi State, even if he leads the army to retreat south at this time, even if there is no obstacle on the way, it will take more than a month. ”
"Besides, now that the king is still confronting the Qi State, he can't get out easily?" Zhang Yi's voice gradually became muffled: "Childe, more than a month, such a long time, is enough for us to do many things." ”
"More than a month?" Gongzi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a cold gaze: "What the general said is very true, more than a month, even if it is half a month, is enough for us to do many things." ”
Saying that, Gongzi Yu straightened his face, and then said solemnly: "General, I want to do great things, but there are three things that I am worried about. One of them is the army of the Yue Kingdom led by the king, if the whole army returns, and the whole country is ordered to attack me, we will die without a place to be buried. Second, it is the reinforcements of the Chu State, if the Chu army is blocked on the road and cannot reach Wucheng as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to deter the other ministers of the Yue State and let them listen to Gu's orders. ”
"And this third concern..."
