Chapter 111: I want to cross the water

Xiong Huai shook his head, he didn't agree too much with Zhao Ju's answer, Zhao Ju still didn't explain Qin Guo's intentions, and didn't get to the point.

The possibility of Qin attacking Wu County is not low, on the contrary, Xiong Huai also believes that the possibility of Qin attacking Wu County is extremely high. However, Wujun is too remote, and Bashu and Bashu are also new places for Qin, and the possibility of Qin placing its main attack on Bashu is extremely low.

Even if the Qin State captured Wujun, it would not have much effect on this battle.

Unable to guess Qin Guo's mind for a while, Xiong Huai could only defend passively and not give Qin State any chance.

Xiong Huai opened his mouth and ordered: "Pass on the order of the widow, and order the Wujun to guard against the attack of the Qin State from the Ba State. ”

Unable to figure out the deep meaning of Qin's move, Xiong Huai temporarily pressed this moment down and asked Chen Zhen: "Xianqing, how is the Qi State now?" And how is the Song State now, now that our coalition forces are already attacking the Qi State, is the Song State determined to accompany the funeral of the Qi State? ”

Although the king of Chu and the king of Qin all came to Danshui, and the two countries of Qin and Chu also gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Danshui, there is no doubt that the state of Qi is still the main battlefield, and the two countries of Qi and Song are facing the alliance of the four countries, which is a key battle.

Chen Zhen replied: "Great King, now that the Zhu State is fighting against the Song State, the Song State is under pressure from the Zhu State, and it is not as decisive as before, and it has relented. It was only because the strength of the Qi State in the Song State was very strong that the Song King had been wavering in the face of the strong pro-Qi forces in the country, and he had not betrayed the Qi State for a long time. ”

"Not long ago, the rhino head left the Wei State and went to the Song State as the prime minister of Chu and Wei, intending to use the power of Chu and Wei to force the Song State to betray the Qi State, thinking that the Song State is not far from the day of betraying the Qi State."

Xiong Huai nodded, as long as the Song State betrayed the Qi State, then the army directly faced by the Qi State would increase by 400,000 again, and the Qi State would not be defeated again, then there would be no heavenly reason.

"And what happened to the other battlefields?" Xiong Huai asked.

Chen Zhen replied: "Great King, the State of Zhao is still at war with the army of the State of Qi in the State of Yan, but it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. ”

"And on the Wei side, because of the lack of sailors in the Wei State, just like we are now with the Qin and Han coalition forces, across the river, there is no fighting."

"And the sailors of the Yue State and the sailors of our Chu State are still fighting with the sailors of the Qi State on the Huaishui, and the sailors of the Qi State rely on the help of the Qi army on the shore and still firmly control the northern part of Huaishui, so the 300,000 troops of the Yue State and our Chu State are blocked in the south of the Huaishui."

Xiong Huai sighed, feeling very uncomfortable.

Obviously there is an army of one million, but the numerical advantage of the army has not been effectively brought into play, in the past, it was like this in the face of the Qin State, and now it is still like this in the face of the Qi State, one is not strong, the other seems to hit a ball of cotton, and all the strength is held on the body, uncomfortable!

Xiong Huai suddenly remembered the strange soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, and asked: "Now the sea crossing army of the Yue Kingdom should have already arrived in the Qi Kingdom, is it defeated?" ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "King, the sailors of the Yue Kingdom have already arrived in the Qi Kingdom, but they were stopped by the sailors of the Qi Kingdom, and the two sides fought a battle on the sea, and the result was that both sides were defeated. According to the news returned from the Qi State, the sailors of the Yue Kingdom found an island on the sea to rest and confront the sailors of the Qi State on the sea. ”

"Wait." Xiong Huai interrupted Chen Zhen: "The sailors of the Qi State and the sailors of the Yue Kingdom are facing each other at sea, where did the sailors of the Qi Kingdom come from?" The widow remembers the sailors of the Qi country, didn't they concentrate on Pushui and Huaishui? ”

Xiong Huai remembered very well that the reason why Yue Guo wanted to cross the sea to attack Qi was because Qi's sailors were pinned down in Huaishui Pushui and Qi Guohai's air defense was weak, so they would follow Wu State's example to cross the sea.

The current result is that the Yue State was stopped by the Qi State Naval Division on the sea, and both sides were defeated after the battle.

The establishment of the sailor first needs a ship, and it is a warship, and secondly, it needs to have sailors, and those who can fight on the sea must be the elite sailors of the Qi country.

Sailors can't be formed overnight.

This shows a problem, that is, the Qi State has transferred water divisions from other places, and now the Qi State water division is still fighting with the Chu and Yue water divisions on the Huai River, so the water division that was transferred is likely to be from Pu Shui.

"Could it be that Qi Guo transferred Pushui's sailor away?" Xiong Huai asked.

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "King, that's exactly the case." ”

"Not long after the departure of the powerful sea crossing division of the Yue Kingdom, it was learned by the Qi State. Qi saw that there was no sailor in Wei, so he dispatched the main force of the Pushui sailor and a part of the Huaishui sailor to intercept the Yue sailor. ”

Although the warships of this era could sail across the rivers, they could only sail offshore in the face of rough seas.

Xiong Huai's focus was not on the Battle of Qi and Yue, but on another place, that is, the main force of the Qi State Naval Division in Pushui had been transferred.

"Since the State of Qi has transferred most of the sailors on the Pushui River, why is the State of Wei still fighting across the river from the State of Qi, instead of taking the opportunity to cross the Pushui and fight with the State of Qi?" Xiong Huai frowned.

If all countries are at war today, and the Wei State is still holding on to the Qi State, this is a bit unreasonable.

Chen Zhen replied: "Great King, when the sailors of the Qi State were on the Pushui, they used the advantages of the sailors to collect all the boats on the Pushui River, and the Wei State used the newly made rafts to try to cross the river, but they were attacked by the Qi State in the middle of the crossing, and the losses were greater, and they retreated, so they have been holding on to the present." ”

Xiong Huai knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Although the Qi navy withdrew, the Wei state, which had no naval division and no warships, was still unable to gain control of Pushui. As long as the Qi State refuses to defend the river, then the Wei State will also not be able to cross the river.

In this day and age, crossing a river is really a difficult thing to do, especially when there are no boats.

Don't have a boat?

Boat!

Xiong Huai suddenly thought that although Wei did not have a ship, but Chu had it, and Yue also had it, and the ship was not a thing for Chu Yue at all.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai laughed and said: "The Qi State transferred the Pushui Naval Division, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat the Qi State in one fell swoop, it seems that the war is about to end." ”

Zhao Ju and Chen Zhen glanced at each other, saw the question in each other's eyes, and didn't know why the King of Chu said so.

Zhao Ju saluted and asked, "Great King, I don't know how to defeat the Qi Kingdom." ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "Didn't Wei cross the river without warships?" Although it is impossible to hand over the warships to the Wei State, as long as we transform some large civilian ships, although we can't deal with the sailors, it is enough to cross the river. ”

"Originally, the sailors of the Qi State controlled Pushui, and the civilian ships were embarrassed to face the sailors, but now the sailors of the Qi State have left, so now in Pushui, whoever has a boat will have the upper hand, and whoever has more boats will control Pushui."

"As long as the Wei army crosses the Pushui, then it will be the beginning of the collapse of the Qi defense line, if the Huaishui of the Qi State is lost again, the widow can't think of what the Qi State can rely on to resist the million-strong army of our coalition army."
