Ejun then said to Sima Qinhe: "There is Lao Sima will recall all the 40,000 Chu troops who are farming outside, and during this period of Jun's absence, please Sima garrison Guangling, strengthen the guard, and strengthen contacts with Shou County and other places, and once there is a change in the Yue country, immediately ask them for help." ”

Qin He responded: "The last general will listen to the order." ”

After a pause, Qin He hesitated: "Your Majesty, it's only been a long time since the corn outside the city was planted, and at this time, I am afraid that the soldiers will complain when they call the soldiers back to the city." ”

Ejun said coldly: "Complain, the soldiers obey the order, what is there to complain, does this gentleman still care about the grain they plant, although Guangling City also grows grain, but most of the grain and grass are mobilized from various counties, tell them that Benjun guards Guangling and will not let them go into battle hungry." ”

Qin He said in a low voice: "No." ”

After Ejun gave the order to go down, Guangling City immediately took action.

A few days later

Then he handed over the defense of Guangling City to his own Sima, and he headed for Wucheng with three large ships.

The movement of Guangling City was soon discovered by the Yue Kingdom, and Gongshiyu got the report of the spies, and hurriedly ran to the King of Yue and said, "King, there is an abnormal movement in Guangling City. ”

"Anomalies?" King Yue was shocked.

Gongshiyu gasped and said, "Great King, according to the report from the spies, E Qi is gathering the army that was farming outside Guangling City to return to the city, and now Guangling City has strengthened its defense. ”

“？？？” King Yue was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Do you know what happened, isn't there something happening to the Qi country in the north?" ”

Gongshiyu shook his head and said: "I don't know, there is no news from Qi for the time being, but even if Qi has some action, it will definitely be aimed at Huaibei, what does this have to do with Huainan." According to the minister's opinion, E Qi may just be a newcomer and want to get familiar with the army. It's just that Guangling is too close to Wucheng, and we have to guard against it. ”

King Yue was puzzled, he didn't know what E Qi wanted to do, although Gongshiyu's explanation was very weak, but he could only persuade himself like this at present.

"Although the army of Guangling City is not a big threat to us, it has to be guarded against, in case E Qi goes crazy and intends to attack our Yue Kingdom..." Saying that, King Yue said to Gongshiyu: "Immediately send someone to Jiangxi to see if there is any change in the Chu army there." ”

"The minister commands." After speaking, Gongshiyu did not leave, but saluted and said: "King, even if only Guangling City has action, we must be prepared, Weichen's meaning, to respond to all changes with the same, why not transfer an army of 10,000 people to the south bank of the river, in case of emergency." ”

Respond to all changes with the same!

When the Yue State was temporarily unable to attack the Chu State, there was no way out.

King Yue nodded and asked, "Who can lead the army?" ”

Gongshiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The king, the prince is brave and strategic, and he can be the main general for this matter..."

As soon as Gongshiyu's words fell, he heard a voice say, "King, Chen Zhangyi has something to ask to see." ”

"Zhangyi..." The corners of Gongshiyu's mouth twitched, and when he saw King Yue looking at Zhang Yi, he immediately asked, "King, I don't know if this matter is feasible." ”

Zhang Yi saw from afar that Gongshiyu was muttering something to King Yue, his heart moved, he walked forward quickly, and said loudly: "King, great joy!" ”

King Yue was just about to nod, but when he heard Zhang Yi's words, he was attracted again, and when Zhang Yi walked in front of him, he immediately asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Yi saluted and said: "King, Weichen has just received a message that the Guangling Shou Eqi of the State of Chu intends to visit in person, and now he has arrived on the north bank of the river, and a special envoy has come to summon him, asking the king to summon him. ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "King, Eqi has just served as Guangling Shou for a few days, and he came to see the king in person, this is to show goodwill to the king, I think Eqi must be afraid of the king's prestige!" ”

"What?" King Yue and Gongshiyu were shocked at the same time.

King Yue looked at Zhang Yi in shock and asked, "Is it that E Qi himself wants to come to Wucheng to see the widow?" ”

Then King Yue asked unconfidently: "How many people does E Qi plan to bring, is he planning to hunt with the widow in Wu?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "King, according to the report of the spies, this time E Qizi brought three big boats. ”

Gongshiyu said in a low voice: "Three big boats, even if they are full of people, there are hundreds of people at most. ”

King Yue clenched his fist in his right hand and said to himself: "E Qi actually threw himself into the net, this is God to help the widow regain the lost land, a shame before the snow." ”

"The order is issued, and it is said that the widow agrees to Eqi's visit, and once Eqi enters Wucheng, he will be arrested immediately."

Then, King Yue said in the shock of Gongshiyu and Zhang Yi: "Summons the Huaibei guard general Wang Xing, prepare for war, once you receive the edict of the widow, immediately attack Guangling in the north and south, and the widow must pull out Guangling this time." ”

King Yue's words fell, but no one acted.

Hearing this, Gongshiyu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly persuaded: "King, no, now we have just fought two vicious battles with the Qi State in succession, and now the soldiers are tired, and now it is the time when the farmers are busy, recruiting troops, the people's resentment will inevitably boil, the king, now is not to start a war lightly." ”

Zhang Yi heard Gongshiyu's persuasion, and wanted to speak out against it, but when he thought of E Qi, he immediately swallowed his words back, and then cleared his throat and said: "King, the two countries are at war and do not come to the envoy, and now we are still allies with the State of Chu, and E Qi is the guard of Guangling, but he personally came to ask the king, it is on behalf of the State of Chu that we show goodwill, if we detain E Qi at this time and send troops to Guangling, it will not only be unreasonable, but will inevitably cause the anger of the State of Chu." ”

"When the time comes, the State of Qi will come from the north, and the State of Chu will come from the west, King, we will not be able to deal with the two big countries at the same time."

Gongshiyu was surprised by Zhang Yi's approval, but when he thought of the relationship between Gongziyu and E Qi, it suddenly became clear that before E Qi came to Yueguo, he must have already gone through Gongziyu's door.

However, it is not suitable to fight with the Chu State now, so he can only nod and say: "The king, E Qi has recalled all the Chu troops back to the city and strengthened the vigilance, which shows that he is on guard against our Yue Kingdom. ”

"This..." When the king of Yue thought of Guangling City, his head was suddenly big, when Tang Yu was there before, Yue Guo had attacked Guangling many times, but Guangling City was high and deep, and every time he hit his head, he broke the blood, but he couldn't shake Guangling in the slightest, and the Yue army had used his own blood to prove the solidity of Guangling.

Now, although Tang Mo is not there, even if the new defender E Qi is captured by himself, it seems that nothing has changed for the siege of the city, and E Qi has only been in Guangling for a few days, and there is no prestige at all, and the army of Guangling City will not recognize him at all. It seems that if he captures Eqi, he may not be able to cause great turmoil in Guangling.

Zhang Yi saw that the king of Yue was relieved, and persuaded again: "King, now we have made a bad relationship with the Qi country, if we attack the Chu country again, we will inevitably fall into isolation again, if the two countries of Qi and Chu are friendly again, this will be the disaster of our Yue country." Moreover, with only the strength of our Yue country, we may not be able to attack Guangling, which has the support of various counties in Jiangxi, and if we want to defeat Guangling, we still need to wait for an opportunity. ”
