Chapter 115: Zhao Mou Zhongshan
King Xuan of Qi's chest rose and fell violently, Huaibei is a rich area, Qi and Chu have been fighting in the Huaisi region for many years, isn't it just for Huaibei, now, Qi will completely lose Huaibei.
"Taifu, how to separate Chu Yue."
As soon as these words came out, King Qi Xuan's heart was bleeding.
Chun Yu said: "Order the cities of Huaibei to defend, our Qi will treat his family well, and in the face of the attack of the Chu State, he will fight to the last soldier, and put pressure on the Chu State." And only need to resist the Yue country for one day, although it does not resist the Yue country, but the Yue country is small, it is difficult to occupy too large a territory. ”
"Then take advantage of the heartfelt mood of Chu to return to the west and cut off the northern land of Huai and the state of Chu, which will definitely make the Yue State suspicious of the Chu State, and then comprehensively counterattack the Yue State, after the Chu State withdraws its troops, the Yue State will also withdraw its troops."
King Qi Xuan gritted his teeth, and a word burst out of the corner of his mouth: "Okay." ”
Zhao Guo.
King Wuling of Zhao stood on the city wall of Handan, looking far to the north.
For a long time, he said to Feiyi and Gongzi: "Wei and Song have broken through Pushui, Chu and Yue have broken through Huaishui, and now our Zhao State is still fighting against Qi on the Yan-Zhao border." ”
Gongzi Cheng thought that King Zhao was anxious in his heart, and persuaded: "Don't worry, the king, now that the west and south of Qi are lost at the same time, Qi will not be able to hold out for long, and within half a month, Qi will definitely retreat without a fight." ”
King Zhao Wuling shook his head and said, "The widow is not worried that he will not be able to defeat the Qi State and will not be able to send his son back to the throne of Yan King, but the widow is worried about the four countries of Qi, Wei, Qin and Chu. ”
"The strength of the Qi State can be seen from the destruction of Yan by the King of Qi in the first battle, the Wei State is the legacy of the hegemon, and although it is weak now, its strength is still not weak. The strength of the Qin State is obvious to all in the world, and the same is true of the Chu State, this time the Chu State fought with Qi Qin at the same time and was undefeated, which shows the depth of the Chu State. ”
"I don't know what the two of you think, compared with these four countries, which one is stronger and which is weaker?"
"This..." Both of them were stunned at the same time.
King Wuling of Zhao continued: "The widow also thinks that Zhao is inferior to these four countries, so the State of Qi sent an envoy to exchange the price of ten cities of Qi for Qi Zhao to make peace, and the prince of Zhao State is the king of Yan, and the state of Qi recognizes the position of the king of Yan as the prince. ”
"The widow thought for a long time, and finally agreed to Qi Guo's peace request, and decided to send the general Le Chi as the main general, send the prince to Yandu, and return the main force of my Zhao State to China from the front line."
"What?" Fei Yi and Gongzi were shocked.
Zhao was the first to retreat, which was a betrayal of his allies.
King Zhao Wuling said: "Wei took the land in the east in Qi, and the southern alliance in Chu, and the widow was deeply worried. The great power of Chu is also, the east defeated Qi to take Huaibei, the west defeated Qin, and the widow is also worried. ”
"The tiger and wolf of the Qin State are also, the number of outnumbered soldiers of the three Jin Dynasty has been defeated by Qin one after another, and the widow is worried, how can the two virtuous people teach the widow?"
The two shook their heads.
The strength of the country is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it must be done step by step, and there is no room for the slightest impatience and sloppiness.
King Zhao Wuling said with a smile: "The three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Qi, which are connected to our Zhao country, are all powerful countries, and competing with these three countries has a huge cost and little gain, and few people think that it is not advisable. ”
Qin is in the west, Wei is in the south, and Qi is in the east.
Apart from these three directions, only the north side remains.
In addition to the Hu people in the north, that is the Zhongshan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.
If the State of Qi retreats from the State of Yan, the State of Zhao can replace the State of Qi.
Gongzi Cheng was surprised: "Could it be that the king is ready to take the opportunity to seize the Yan Kingdom." ”
King Zhao Wuling shook his head and said, "The lesson of Qi is still there, how can a widow be so unwise, the widow means Zhongshan." ”
Fei Yi said: "King, Zhongshan is not weak, if you capture Zhongshan, you must go all out to attack Zhao Guo." ”
King Zhao Wuling nodded: "So the widow decided to befriend the Yan State, make peace with the Qi State, and form an alliance with the Wei State, but the widow was a little worried about the Qin State." Since a few years ago, after the Qin State captured the ferry of the river of our Zhao State, it opened the door to attack the Zhao State, which is really too dangerous for the Zhao State. Therefore, the widow decided to agree to the plan of the Chu State, concentrate the main forces of the Zhao State, and recapture the Lishi and Lin lands. ”
"As long as Lin Di returns to the hands of my Zhao State, then the Qin State will not be able to attack the Zhao State from the west, so that the widow can attack Zhongshan with confidence."
Fei Yi and Gongzi saluted and said, "The king is wise." ”
Korea.
The news of the defeat of the Qi State and the gathering of nearly 200,000 troops by the Chu State reached Xinzheng, which immediately caused everyone to panic.
That night, the news of King Han's death came out of the Han Palace.
The next day, Prince Han ascended the throne as King Han Xiang.
After ascending the throne, the first thing King Han Xiang did was to withdraw his troops, and then sent people to Zhao Wei to ask Zhao Wei to make peace, and Korea was willing to make peace with Chu.
Danshui Camp.
Chen Zhen walked up to the King of Chu with a happy face, handed over a battle report with both hands, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the king, the Qi State has been defeated, and the Zhu State and Si Defeat have crossed the Huaishui River and led the army to attack the Huaibei Land of the Qi State." ”
As soon as Xiong Huai heard that the Qi State was defeated, he immediately took the battle report, and after reading it, he felt comfortable and said with a smile: "The Qi State is finally defeated." ”
The stone in his heart finally fell, and Xiong Huai instructed outside the camp: "Let Gongyin come over to see the widow." ”
Chen Zhen then handed over another box and said, "King, this is a secret report received by the minister, please take a look at it." ”
As soon as Xiong Huai looked at this box, he knew that it was sent by Zhao Slip, which was the same as the outer box of the last secret report.
Zhao Hua is now on the side of King Yue, and the secret report he handed over must be related to Yue Guo.
Xiong Huai nodded and gestured to Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen opened the box, avoided the contents of the silk book, and after inspecting the silk book, handed the silk book to the king of Chu.
Xiong Huai took the silk book, and the contents of the letter came into view.
In addition to a brief explanation of the war, there is only one core content in the letter, that is, the king of Yue is mediocre, the internal chaos of the Yue country, and he asks the king of Chu to attack Yue.
Xiong Huai pinched the silk book hard and couldn't help frowning.
The Yue State was in the east of the Chu State, and for more than ten years before this Chu-Yue Alliance, the King of Yue accepted bribes from the Zhao State and had been harassing the back of the Chu State, and the Chu State could not bear to be disturbed.
Now it is not easy to make peace with the Yue country, and I can settle down.
If the State of Chu attacks the State of Yue, then it will be another fall out with the State of Yue, and there will be smoke between Chu and Yue.
Xiong Huai walked back and forth several times, and his heart was entangled.
Although he is now allied with the Yue State, the Yue King is greedy, and the Yue King can accept bribes from the Zhao State in the past, and the Yue State may also accept bribes from the Qi State or the Qin State in the future, and the Yue State has always been an unstable factor.
While walking, Xiong Huai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, if he took the opportunity to destroy the Yue Kingdom this time, then the Chu State would no longer have any worries!
As for whether the state of Chu has the strength to destroy the Yue state, there is no doubt about it.
At this time, the Yue State was still in the wilderness, the degree of land development was far less than that of the Chu State, and the number of people was also far inferior to the Chu State.
Coupled with the fact that the current King of Yue is so happy and incompetent, the chances of Chu destroying Yue are also very high.
If it can be like the destruction of the Yan State by the Qi State, in a very short period of time, the Yue will be destroyed in one battle.
Then there is no need to think about reinforcements from other countries.
The only thing that needs to be considered is the problem faced by the Qi State, the matter of the world's cloud attacking Chu Cunyue.
Just as he was thinking, Zhao Ju walked in and saluted, "I've seen the king." ”
Xiong Huai nodded, and then thought about the feasibility of destroying Yue again.
