Xiong Huai nodded and asked, "Rhino Head, although it is theoretically feasible to let Tian Jia replace Kuang Zhang, how to replace Kuang Zhang?" How to speed up the time for King Qi to transfer Kuang Zhang? Even if the strength of this Tian Jia is not weaker than Kuang Zhang! The king of Qi can't let Kuang Zhang leave for no reason, and let a second-rate general with a reputation and record to replace Kuang Zhang. ”

Gongsun Yan smiled: "King, we have dragged Kuang Zhang for a month, and King Yue has rested on the side for two months, so we should be able to start acting." ”

After speaking, the smile on Gongsun Yan's face disappeared, and a trace of coldness appeared instead: "Otherwise, King Yue will continue to rest, and Chen Zhen is worried that King Yue will become the third army in addition to the two armies of Qi and Wei." ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and said coldly: "Yes, King Yue should indeed act." ”

In the camp of the Vietnamese army.

Not long after Gongzi Hoi sent Chen Jia, the envoy of Qi State, out of the camp, Chen Zhen rushed outside the camp of the Vietnamese army in a carriage without hurry.

After seeing the queen of Yue, Chen Zhen spoke: "King, not long ago, the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Chu, Yue and Song swore that I, Chu and Song, would contain the main force of the Qi army, so that the Yue army would take the opportunity to attack the east of Tancheng Jucheng and recover its homeland. Now Chu Song has completed the oath and contained all the main forces of the Qi army led by Kuang Zhang on the front line of Xuecheng, the king..."

King Yue couldn't help but smile when he looked at Chen Zhen's departing back, then glanced at Yue Meng, and then said: "Xianqing, the King of Qi sent a messenger to send a heavy gift, as long as the widow attacks Zhongwu City to the west, cut off the grain route of the Chu army, block the retreat of the Chu army, and then Qi and Yue jointly divide the Huaibei land of Chu State, our Yue State occupies the majority of the head, and the Qi State occupies the small head." And the envoy of the king of Chu did not promise anything, but only told us to fulfill the covenant and attack the homeland of Yue as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, King Yue showed a mocking look on his face: "I don't know who Qing thinks the widow should listen to?" ”

Yue Meng looked at the look of King Yue, and knew that King Yue was moved by King Qi's heavy gifts, and coveted Huaibei of Chu State. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "The minister thinks that we should now promise the king of Chu to fulfill the previous oath and attack the homeland of the Yue Kingdom to the north. ”

Hearing that Yue Meng disagreed with him, King Yue couldn't help frowning and asked, "Xianqing, why is this?" Now the Huaibei of the Chu State is obviously emptier than Yancheng and other places, and the Chu and Song coalition forces have been attacking Xuecheng for two months, and they have long been exhausted, and the Qi army has been recuperating for a period of time. ”

"Why did Xianqing persuade the widow to attack the city that had been prepared for a long time, instead of attacking Huaibei, which had little defense?"

Yue Meng shook his head and responded: "Great King, it seems that the Qi State has been recuperating, but some of them are defending Tancheng Jucheng, and most of them are gathered in Xue City, so there are not many extra troops. This is not the case with the state of Chu, this time the king of Chu sent 250,000 troops, which is only a part of the strength of the state of Chu. Therefore, it is not yet known which of the two countries is stronger and which is weaker, and who is difficult and who is easy. ”

"Besides..." Yue Meng sighed: "Great King, even if we capture Zhongwu City and capture the place in Huaibei of Chu State, but before Song State is not co-opted by Qi State, we will not be able to block the retreat of the Chu army." If the king of Chu runs away with the main force of the Chu army, and then, in anger, orders the Ejun of Guangling to send troops to cut off the ditch or send troops south to attack Wucheng, and the ministers are worried that all the Huaibei land we occupy will be made wedding clothes for the Qi state. ”

"Guangling..." King Yue spit out these two words from his mouth in disgust.

Guangling City has always been stuck in the throat of Yue Kingdom, which is really uncomfortable. It's good that Chu Yue is good, but if Chu Yue is evil, this city will be the henchman of Yue State.

It's not that Yue Guo didn't think about capturing Guangling City, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed once.

Seeing King Yue's uncomfortable look, Yue Meng hurriedly spoke: "King, now there is chaos in the Wei Dynasty, and the ministers of various factions are in a mess, which shows that King Wei has the intention of betraying Chu. Otherwise, with the identity of Wei Xianglou, it is impossible to suppress the other ministers of Wei. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that at the critical moment when the people of Chu betray their relatives and leave, we cannot be this bird, so as not to be retaliated by Chu. Since the King of Wei has not yet made up his mind, we will push the King of Wei. ”

"The more dangerous the Qi State is, the stronger the Chu State becomes, and the growth of the Chu State is exactly where the worries of the King of Wei lie.

Under the repeated persuasion of Yue Meng, the king of Yue temporarily agreed to attack the city of Yan in the east of the Qi state.

···

Chu and Song were still storming Xuecheng, and Tang Wu was still fighting against Kuang Zhang. In this situation, the king of Yue commanded 150,000 Vietnamese troops to march east to the north, conquering three cities in seven days, and then the army surrounded the important town in the east of Qi and 10,000 Qi troops stationed in the city.

This news reached Xiong Huai's ears, and Xiong Huai was immediately relieved.

King Yue's actions undoubtedly show that Yue Guo will not betray Chu State now.

At the same time, more importantly, King Yue's attack on Yancheng was a key part of the Chu State's transfer of Kuang Zhang, the shrunken turtle in the east, and by now, Xiong Huai was seventy percent sure of transferring Kuang Zhang.

Now, time is on the side of Chu...

Xiong Huai couldn't help but smile and said: "Yancheng is a big city of Qi, hundreds of years ago, in order to achieve hegemony, Duke Huan of Qi did not hesitate to cross the Ju State and then destroy the same sect of the Yanguo and take the Yancheng into his arms, which shows the importance of the city to the Qi State." To the north of the city is one of the capitals of the former Ju Kingdom. ”

"Now the eastern part of the Qi State is short of troops, and there are only 10,000 Qi troops stationed in the city, and it won't be long before it will be captured by the Yue State. At that time, the soldiers of the Yue State besieged Ji Xiangcheng, and the widows did not know that the King of Qi could continue to do it in Jucheng, as long as the King of Qi left Jucheng, then the defense line of Tancheng Jucheng of Qi State would plummet morale and fall into collapse. ”

Xiong Huai said, and said to Chen Zhen: "Xianqing, the widow will entrust you with all the matters of transferring Kuang Zhang!" ”

Chen Zhen bowed and said: "Don't worry, the king will not be entrusted!" ”

Xiong Huai nodded.

After Chen Zhen left, Xiong Huai was planning to take Gongsun Yan to Xue Cheng to watch the battle, and came to the place outside the city where he did not want to watch the battle.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the head of Xue Cheng, and couldn't help but sigh to Gongsun Yan: "Sun Ziyun: Attacking the city has to be done as a last resort, good!" ”

Gongsun Yan responded: "King, as long as our people can say that King Qi will transfer Kuang Zhang away, Tian Jia alone can be easily dealt with." At that time, we don't have to attack this Xue City. ”

"I hope so!" Xiong Huai looked forward to the road.

This is, Xiong Huai suddenly caught a glimpse of Doctor Shangguan hurriedly running from a distance, and after a while, he came closer, panting and said, "King, great joy!" ”
