286 The King of Chu's Yellow Sorghum Dream!
Jiangbei.
More than ten princes and kings in the Central Plains of Jiangbei, conquering cities and territories, desperately expanding their territory.
Except for some large county towns, such as Chang'an, Luoyang and other important towns, they will not be captured for a while and a half, and they are still in the hands of the imperial court.
In addition, there are tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 imperial army stationed in the border towns, which are extremely difficult to attack, and the rest of the small county towns are easily taken by them.
Because there are too many princes who rebel, the territory that each family can divide is actually not too much. You also have to watch out for other princes, who may come to annex you at any time.
As for Jiangnan, they can't take care of it for a while.
After all, the army of the most powerful princes, King Wu, was in Jiangnan, and the main force of the imperial court was also in Jiangnan.
The 250,000 army of King Wu, the largest army of the rebellion, was in the south of the Yangtze River, fighting with the 100,000 imperial army in Jinling.
Let the two of them go and fight.
Only Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, lost half of his soldiers and horses because he was defeated at the hands of Xiao Duhou Hou, and he was angry and kept paying close attention to the battle situation in Jiangnan.
...
In the wee hours of the morning.
King of Chu, Wujiang Daying.
Since the last time the river crossing failed, the king of Chu Xiang Wu led 50,000 remnants of the army to retreat to the Wujiang River, he set up camp here, and strengthened the defense day and night, one is to prevent the little dusk marquis from crossing the river from the Danyang boundary to the north, and the other is to let the army recuperate.
"Report ——! King, news came from the secret agents of Jinling City. Jinling's 50,000 Imperial Forest Army quietly left the city at dawn and disappeared. The imperial capital is empty, and there is no main force of the imperial court to defend it! ”
The advisor is urgent.
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, couldn't help but be stunned.
The 50,000 Imperial Forest Army is the most powerful and elite force guarding the imperial capital of Jinling. As a last resort, I feel that I will not leave the imperial capital easily.
Where are the Guards going?
He hurried over to a military map and looked closely.
Wu Wangzheng led 200,000 from Wanling City to Danyang City, and was attacking Danyang City guarded by 50,000 imperial soldiers and horses led by Xiao Duanhou.
This is the place where Gangnam fights the most intensely.
Although King Wu's troops are strong, it is definitely not possible to take Danyang City of Xiaoduhou in a day or two.
Jinling is only a hundred miles away from Danyang.
Could it be that the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army went to Danyang City to support the little Dusk Marquis who was in danger? There can be no other reason.
"Yes, it must be!"
"What a chance!"
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, paced back and forth, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression was overjoyed, "The 50,000 army of the Marquis of Xiao Duan is guarding Danyang, and the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army is going to support!"
But Wu Wang Xiang Bi is not easy to mess with, he is the first fierce general among the princes who can fight, and there are 200,000 troops under his hands. Even if you kill a pig, you can't kill it in three days and three nights!
The battle between the two of them must have been scorching and extremely tragic.
If this king crosses the river at this time, he only needs 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 soldiers and horses are safeguarded, which is enough to raid and take the imperial capital of Jinling.
If this king occupies the imperial capital of Jinling, he will immediately ascend the throne and become the emperor and depose Xiang Yanran, the dog emperor. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get ahead of the curve! Be the first to go!
Perhaps, Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, the marquis of Xiaodu, and the emperor will fight a defeat under Danyang City!
This king immediately swept the south of the Yangtze River and won half of the country! Let the remaining more than ten princes and kings fight in Jiangbei. When they are tired, this king... No, I will wave another million troops to the north, and the situation will be decided in one fell swoop.
Wonderful! ”
When Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, thought of this, his face immediately flushed with excitement and shouted.
"Someone! Prepare your ships and equip them all! Cross the river at noon, and you must rush to Jinling City tonight! ”
"This..."
"Yes! The last general will obey! ”
In the camp of the Chu army, all the generals looked at each other and were stunned.
Not long ago, he suffered a big defeat under the command of Xiao Duhou, losing 50,000 soldiers and horses.
After returning to Jiangbei, he rested for a while, and finally replenished tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers.
Is this going down to Jiangnan again?
But looking at this information, it seems that it is really a very good opportunity!
The king of Chu jumped out of the chaotic Jiangbei with more than ten princes and went directly to Jinling City to pick peaches. In case King Wu's 200,000 army and the imperial court fight and lose both, this peach will be big. A large area of Jiangnan territory fell into the hands of the King of Chu.
Crossing the river to the south again is not a good move!
The generals also figured it out, and went to collect ships and prepare to cross the river again.
By noon, the 80,000-strong army of the Chu army was ready. In addition to more than a dozen large building ships, there are also thousands of passenger ships, cargo ships and fishing boats of various sizes.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
East wind together!
The King of Chu crossed the river with thousands of troops, swallowed Jinling, and roared in the south of the Yangtze River!
"It's really time, fate, and luck——! Unexpectedly, the king's journey of hegemony set sail again! ”
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, stood on the slipway of the ship, looking at the vast river with high spirits, and his heart was full of emotion.
Not long ago, he was beaten by Xiao Duhou and lost his armor and retreated to Jiangbei, extremely depressed, and had lost his confidence in dominating the world. I thought that my future was bleak, and I had no chance to be on the emperor's throne again!
I never thought that in the blink of an eye, the situation would change so quickly. He is about to go back to Jiangnan and win the treasure of the world!
"Report ——! 100,000 urgent! ”
The advisor appeared again, his expression was panicked, he held an urgent military information in his hand, rushed to Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, and fell to the ground, "King, the big thing is not good, 100,000 urgent military information...!" ”
"What's so flustered, what kind of system!"
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, suddenly changed his complexion and drank violently.
"King, Jinling spies are here to report.... King Wu's 200,000 army fought a decisive battle with Xiao Duhou in Danyang City, and it was difficult to separate. The emperor led 50,000 imperial forest troops to suddenly attack King Wu's camp, causing his army to collapse.
Wu Wang Xiang Bi was defeated in Danyang and fled to the river to kill himself! The 200,000 army was wiped out, and more than 100,000 surrendered and were captured by the imperial court. The ministers and generals of the State of Wu committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, and there are countless people.
King Wu is defeated! A great victory for the imperial court! Gangnam... In the hands of the imperial court, there are no more princes and kings in the south of the river to compete with!
I'm afraid that the imperial army will soon go north, so please prepare early! ”
The advisor held the information aloft and wailed.
This news is so tragic that any prince will be in disbelief and chill when he sees such a terrifying military situation.
"What, what?"
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, looked horrified and completely stunned. He staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the throne at the bow of the ship, his eyes full of horror.
The situation was changing so quickly that it felt like a dream and he couldn't react at all.
King Wu is the first fierce general of the Great Heat, and his combat effectiveness is far more powerful than that of Xiang Wu, the king of Chu.
King Wu's 200,000 army besieged Danyang City, but he didn't even hold it for half a day? The whole army collapsed!
How could it be so badly defeated?!
If King Wu can't withstand such a huge army, then what should they do with these small princes who are scattered and fighting on their own?
"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this good? Give this king ideas! ”
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, looked frightened, and asked the ministers and generals.
"Quickly contact the rest of the princes, come to Wujiang to gather troops, and block the imperial army from moving north.
We have more than ten princes, and we can raise at least three or five hundred thousand troops. As long as the imperial army is blocked in the south of the Yangtze River and the river cannot be crossed, the emperor will not be able to help us.
At least half of the country must be saved! There is a way to live! Otherwise... are all like King Wu, who killed himself and killed Dajiang. ”
The advisor said urgently.
Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, suddenly came to his senses, jumped up, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the military advisor said is too right!" Immediately give the other princes, the king of Qi, the king of Zhao, the king of Jinan, the king of Linzi, the king of Jiaodong, the king of Jiaoxi..., give them a book of flying pigeons, and quickly bring a large army to Wujiang to assemble, ready to meet the army of the imperial court going north.
Our Jiangbei princes still have huge soldiers and horses, and they can still fight! As long as the Marquis of Xiao Duan leads the army of the imperial court and dares to cross the river to the north, he will give them a half-cross blow! ”
