Chapter 797: Stalemate
As everyone spoke one after another, praising the plan, the oppressive atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly swept away and became cheerful.
At this time, Qu Yangjun saw that everyone was happy, waved his hand, and after everyone quieted down again, he spoke: "Everyone, Ling Yin sent by the king is still suffering from ringworm after all, and the real bane of my Chu country is still in Yingdu. ”
Shang Jun's eyes lit up: "Qu Yangjun is talking about Qu Yuan?" ”
Qu Yangjun nodded: "Yes, more than ten years ago, Qu Yuan instigated the king to forcibly take back the nobles' territory and Yulu, and under the resistance of all the nobles in the country, this matter did not succeed, but he also put himself in."
Now, Qu Yuan has returned to Yingdu again, intending to reduce the rights of various places step by step, and wait for the power of various places to be greatly reduced and unable to resist Yingdu. That Qu Yuan will inevitably bring up the old things of more than ten years ago again, and take back our fiefdom again.
This matter is absolutely unbearable, and Qu Yuan, the root of cholera, cannot be eliminated. ”
Saying that, Qu Yangjun smiled slightly, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, Ling Yin is still a trivial matter, and I plan to take this opportunity to use the name of the local order Yin to expropriate tyranny, causing public resentment everywhere, impeaching Qu Yuan, who suggested to the king to send Ling Yin, flattering the king, employing unclear people, improper governance, and cholera countries."
This time, we can't let him continue to stay in Chu State, and strive to drive him to another country in one fell swoop. ”
After speaking, Qu Yangjun asked everyone: "I don't know if you are willing to write with me to impeach Qu Yuan." ”
When everyone heard this, they said in unison: "Good! ”
Then they agreed, and they dispersed to their camps.
On the other side, Nan Zheng.
When Zhao Ju was waiting for reinforcements, he had already prepared to attack the city, and when Jing Shao led his army to Nanzheng, the army rested for the night, and the next day began to attack the city.
However, while Zhaoju was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Nan Zheng was also not idle, and was also actively reorganizing his army for war.
At the time of Zhaoju's siege, the entire Nanzheng City had been turned into a large military camp. Moreover, not only the people of the whole city have been reorganized by Gongsun Hao, but even the strong men in the Baozhong area west of Nanzheng have also been transferred to Nanzheng by Gongsun Hao.
With the outbreak of the war, the two sides fought bloody battles for five days, although Nanzheng City suffered heavy losses, but it was as solid as a rock, and under the siege of the Chu army, it always stood tall.
On the sixth day, Sima Cuo's 30,000 Qin troops arrived.
Seeing this, Zhao Ju immediately suspended the siege and retreated twenty miles to prepare for the unexpected.
As the Qin army that fell behind continued to arrive, on the seventh day, the strength in Sima Cuo's hands increased to 40,000, and on the tenth day, all the 100,000 Qin troops arrived in Nanzheng.
Seeing that the Qin army was strong, Zhaoju retreated thirty miles back again.
On the 20th, Chen Xiang, the commander of Xiangyang County, led 100,000 Chu troops to Nanzheng.
Then, five days later, Gongsun Yan again arrived with 100,000 Chu troops.
On another three days, Gan Mao led 100,000 Guanzhong Qin troops to Nanzheng.
For a time, nearly 500,000 troops were facing each other, and the clouds of the great war hung over Nanzheng.
At the same time, South Korea sent 150,000 troops outside Hangu Pass, and began to build siege equipment, posing as a strong attack on Hangu Pass.
On the other side, 150,000 Chen soldiers of Wei State were outside Chen City, and 150,000 Qi troops were across the river from Huaiyin City.
Qi and Wei are waiting, that is, they are waiting for Qin and Chu to be exhausted from both defeats, and they are also waiting for news from the Song State. The two countries have sent envoys to the Song Kingdom, hoping that the Song King will send troops to attack Chu.
As for the Song Kingdom...
Yingdu.
Since Zhaoju sent back the news, Sima Cuo led the army to arrive, and after the failure of the attack on Nanzheng, Xiong Huai's focus was not on the battlefields on the east and west, but on the interior of the Chu State.
At this time, in the main hall of Chu Palace, there were only Xiong Huai and Chen Zhen, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen and asked: "Chen Qing, this time the widow issued an edict, how is the implementation of the situation in various places?" ”
"Back to the king, according to the minister's inquiries in various places, the king's edict was issued in various places, and the implementation of the three counties in northern Hanbei is the best, not only the assembly speed is very fast, but also the soldiers who are recruited, most of the soldiers from all over the country have come, and the rest of the people are all Ding Zhuang."
Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief, he had no doubt that Jiezi Chen Xiang and the others were transferring troops from Hanbei this time, and he was concerned about the degree of control of the three Jiezi over the counties.
The three counties of northern Han were newly established, and some of the newly established counties were converted from the fiefdoms of the feudal monarchs, and the situation was more complicated.
Xiong Huai was originally worried that the three of them would not be able to control the counties soon after they took office, or whether Yin Jun and the others would use their influence to continue to interfere in the governance of the county Yin in their original fiefdoms.
As a result, judging from the news sent back from Hanbei, Jiezi and Chen Xiangquan did not disappoint him, and they had already controlled the counties after taking office.
But if you think about it, this situation should also be true.
Before taking office, he had stayed in Xiangyang for many years, exploring reform with Qu Yuan, so there is no doubt about the ability of Jiezi, and it is also the most handy for change.
Moreover, Qu Yuan has always treated his son with teacher courtesy, he went to Hanbei County to take office, Qu Yuan, who is a student, is also Qu Yuan, who is also the core of Qu's lineage, and it is impossible not to give strong support to the son.
Moreover, Hanbei County is the largest of the three counties of Hanbei, and it is also the most supported by the central government, and most of the people who were assessed last time went to Hanbei County.
With the support of himself, the king of Chu, and the support of the Qu family, it is natural that Jiezi can quickly control Hanbei County.
As for Xiangyang County and Ye County, Chen Xiang of Xiangyang County is the successor of the farmer's family, and Zhuang Xin of Ye County is the leader of the Zhuang family, both of them can get the full support of the forces behind them, and it is not difficult to quickly control a county.
On the other hand, this also shows that not long ago, Qin and Han wreaked havoc in northern Hanbei, and the power of the feudal monarchs of northern Han was dealt a heavy blow.
Otherwise, those feudal lords would not agree to the transfer of the feud so easily, and the three of them would not have controlled the three counties so easily.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's face relaxed slightly, and then asked, "What about the land of Hannan?" ”
Chen Zhen replied: "The spies came to report that in the land of Hannan, there are still feudal kings in various counties, and after receiving the edict of the king, they began to recruit soldiers, and all of them arrived as scheduled. It's just that according to the spies in the army, the elite of Hannan's army is about fifty percent, and the rest is composed of the old and weak and Ding Zhuang. ”
"Fifty percent!" Xiong Huai's complexion remained unchanged.
Not long ago, the feudal monarchs in various places experienced the defeat of Danxi, and their strength was greatly damaged, and they were able to produce half of the elite, and they could still arrive on time without delays, which can be regarded as the loyalty of the feudal monarchs in Hannan.
Thinking of those newly enthroned feudal monarchs, as well as the newly appointed Ling Yin, Xiong Huai was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "If you can have half of the elite, they can be regarded as loyal." ”
Then, Xiong Huai remembered the news that came before, immediately cheered up, and asked, "How is the situation in Jianghuai?" ”
