After Dr. Shangguan left, Xiong Huai fell into thought.

This situation occurred at the beginning of this war, and the morale of the countries was greatly reduced, and the hope of victory in the war was extremely slim. When the time comes...

At that time, the best-case scenario is that the countries will hold off against the Qin army.

If there is a disagreement, a certain country will make peace with the Qin State alone...

So...

Then the state of Chu must keep the two allies of Wei and Han. At the very least, Wei Han can't be allowed to break off relations with the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai instructed the attendants beside him: "Go and invite the King of Wei and the King of Han to come for a gathering, and say that the widow has something important to discuss." ”

"No."

Elsewhere.

After King Qi returned to his residence, he immediately ordered: "Summoning Shengzi and Zhangzi, let them from now on, focus on preserving their strength, and in addition, act when the opportunity arises." ”

"No."

King Wei: "The fast horse sent a message to the general Xiwu to strictly prevent the main force of the Qin State from attacking, and the strong attack was changed to attack instead of defending." ”

"Also, the widow will also tell Xiwu the news of his visit to Fenyin in a few days, so that he can prepare in advance."

"No."

King Han: "Pass the order of the widow, transfer 30,000 reinforcements from Yangzhai City to Yiyang, and use Yang Zhai as the general to guard Yiyang." ”

"No."

······

Soon after, King Han of Wei arrived in Xionghuai's palace with his confidants and important ministers.

At this time, Xiong Huai had already prepared a table of banquets, Xiong Huai sat in the main seat, and Shangguan Doctor sat beside Xiong Huai.

King Wei sat on the left side, and beside him sat Cheng Lingjun. King Han sat on the right side, and Shen Cha sat next to him.

When the feast began, everyone looked preoccupied.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai sighed and said: "Not long after the start of our war against Qin, there was such a tragedy as Yiqu Kingdom, and the widow is really heartbroken. It's just that now the reinforcements of the Qin State will arrive in the east in a few days, and now the widows are also worried that the forces of our countries are too scattered, and if the Qin State concentrates the main force to break through one of our armies first, this will be a great disaster. ”

King Han and King Wei nodded.

The morale of the Qin State must have increased greatly now, and the places defended by the Qin army are easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Qin State draws troops from all over the country, plus the troops of the Zhuli Disease and the Yiqu State, it will gain a local advantage in troops.

However, the allied forces were scattered and difficult to echo, and when the time came, the Qin army broke all the way first, and the plan to besiege the Qin State was officially bankrupt.

King Han's face was heavy, but he didn't have too much worry, Fenyin Lin was also easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Qin army should not attack these two places, and outside Hangu Pass, there were 300,000 Chu and Han coalition troops, which was not a soft persimmon.

The most likely place is the army of the state of Chu in the central region.

What King Han could think of, King Wei also thought of.

At this moment, King Wei of Han was not too worried about his army being targeted by the Qin army, but only worried about the state of Chu, that is, the state of Chu saw that the situation was not good, and first withdrew its troops from Yuzhong...

If the Chu army in Yuzhong withdraws, then the Chu army outside Hangu Pass will not withdraw, and if the Chu army outside Hangu Pass runs away, South Korea will definitely withdraw, so the alliance will definitely collapse.

Without Qi Chu's reinforcements, the Qin State will retaliate at that time...

South Korea will definitely not be able to stop it, and Wei State...

Not long ago, Qin and Qi were still allies, and they had just attacked Wei.

Thinking about it, King Han of Wei muttered in his heart, he had known this, he should not have been greedy in the first place, and listened to King Qi's bad idea of dividing his troops, so that there was a dilemma now.

King Wei wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Alliance leader, the widow also has this kind of worry now, I don't know what the alliance leader thinks?" ”

King Han also stared at Xiong Huai intently.

Xiong Huai saw the two of them looking over, wiped his beard, and said to King Wei with a straight face: "King Wei, you and the Luoshui region in the land of the West River have been in the hands of Wei for eighty years, and the time for Qin to seize these two places is still short, if the army of Qin gathers there, Wei should get the news." ”

King Wei responded: "Yes, the land of the West River has been operated by Wei for a long time, and the people here still have a lot of things to do with Wei." In particular, the Confucian disciples in the Xihe School are incompatible with the law of the Qin State, and they are even more devoted to the Wei State. ”

"Therefore, under the current situation that our Wei State is attacking Shaoliang, it is difficult for the Qin State to block the news, if the Qin State gathers a large army in Hexi, then the widow will definitely be able to get the news."

Xiong Huai then asked, "King Wei, if Wei receives the news in advance, will it be able to hold Fenyin?" ”

"No problem in a short period of time!" King Wei nodded, and then said heavily: "But, the widow is worried..."

Xiong Huai nodded knowingly: "King Wei's worries, the widow understands. ”

King Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Wei's worries are nothing more than two, one is to fight alone, and the other is to be attacked by other countries.

Then, Xiong Huai spoke: "Compared with Shaoliang, the widow is more worried about the two places of Hangu Pass and Wuguan, these two places can block the road as long as the Qin State closes the Guanyi, and the news is difficult to convey directly. ”

Hearing the King of Chu talk about Wuguan, King Wei and King Han's face changed.

"But..." Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Fortunately, according to the plan, both Wuguan and Hangu Pass are to contain the forces of the Qin State. ”

"Therefore, the widow invited the two of them to come this time to discuss how to deal with the direction of Qin's next attack, and..."

Xiong Huai solemnly looked at King Han of Wei and said, "And if the war is not harmonious, then how to deal with the retaliation of the Qin State." ”

Xiong Huai's words immediately lifted the spirits of King Wei and King Han.

Yes, the key is to solve the latter problem, how to deal with the retaliation of the Qin State.

King Wei's eyes lit up and he asked, "I don't know what the alliance leader has?" ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Two, the problem of Wuguan can be solved by Chu State itself, and the widow has already ordered Zhaoju to build fortifications in Wuguan, and intends to defend it in the middle, so Wuguan doesn't need to worry about the two of them." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, although they didn't know if King Chu's words were true, but if King Chu could express his position, it was good.

Then, Xiong Huai spoke: "Therefore, regarding the reinforcement of the Qin army in Hangu Pass and Fenyin, the widow means: Chu, Wei and Han will each send 20,000 troops to form a three-country alliance army in Luoyi to support Hangu Pass and Fenyin at any time. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai said in an accentuated tone: "Moreover, the widow means that after the end of the battle of the Three Kingdoms in Luoyi, after the end of the war against Qin, our three kingdoms can discuss again whether to keep it and stay in Luoyi." Luoyi is located in the middle of the world, very close to our three kingdoms, and is surrounded by Wei and Han, which is very safe. As long as our three countries are attacked by other countries, then this coalition army will immediately go to reinforcements! ”

"However, if we are going to attack other countries, then this coalition force cannot be called. In other words, this army is only used for defense, and I don't know what the two of them want. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai smiled silently on the side, waiting for the replies of the other two countries.

The state of Chu is far away from Luoyi, and if the state of Chu is attacked, the role of this army is not very important.

However, if Wei and Han are attacked by other countries, then this army can respond quickly and reinforce quickly, which is equivalent to Wei and Han only need to send 20,000 troops to obtain the strength of 60,000 troops, which is a great benefit.

Therefore, this method is for the state of Chu to help Wei and Han.

As long as the two countries agree, then the relationship between Wei and Han and Chu will be one step closer, and as long as this army still exists, then Wei and Han will not turn their faces and break off relations with Chu for the time being.

Even if Wei and Qin Qi made peace, then Wei was still an ally of Chu.

I am not afraid that Wei will stab Qin and Chu on both sides, but I am afraid that he will stick a knife in the back of Chu.
