King Qi was instantly attracted by the grand blueprint drawn by Zhang Yi.

It's just that when he thought that the Chu-Yue coalition army was now planning to attack the Qi State, the King of Qi shook his head violently: "Sir, it's not proper, not to mention the problem of attacking the Wei State, Chu and Han will support, the problem is that the Chu and Yue countries are preparing to attack the southern part of the Qi State, and the strength of the outnumbered people is insufficient!" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "King, South Korea's reinforcements are easy to solve, as long as our country bluffs at Hangu Pass, then the weak South Korea will not dare to move in the slightest." ”

"As for Chu and Yue attacking the southern part of Qi State, isn't this a God-given opportunity? The king held the city in the south, attracting the attention of Chu and Yue, and then used troops against Wei in the west, taking the opportunity to recover the lost territory seized by Wei and the original territory of Wei. Wei is far from being an adversary against either of our two countries alone, let alone our two countries at the same time. ”

"Therefore, as long as the king of Wei uses troops, then the most lost is only three or four cities, and what is gained is not only the loss of seven cities, but also the Wei state, the Zhao state, and the Yan country, which is more important, please think twice."

King Qi was silent for a long time when he heard this.

If the two countries of Chu and Yue were on the defensive, then the first to bear the brunt would be Xiapicheng, the last stronghold left by the Qi State in Huaibei.

Behind Xiapi City is Peng Cheng of the Song State and Xue Di of the Qi State...

King Qi thought for a moment, and then spoke: "I wonder how King Qin plans to attack Wei?" ”

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Great King, the land of Wei is connected to Chu in the south, if we Qin and Qi want to attack the Great Liang of Wei, we need to pass through Han and Song, so not only will it be difficult, but the reinforcements of Chu will also arrive soon." ”

"Therefore, the meaning of our kingdom is that the great king tun troops approached the plain Lingqiu area of the Zhao state to show support for the Zhongshan state, and then sent troops to attack the land seized by the Wei state in the previous war. And we, the Qin State, went out of Xiayang, crossed the river to attack Fenyin, Puyang and other places, and the two countries joined hands to force the Wei State to turn its back on the Chu State. ”

King Qi was silent again.

Fenyin is east of the upper reaches of the river and north of the lower reaches of the river, separated from the state of Chu by Korea, and the last time the state of Qi lost land, and the state of Chu is separated from the state of Song, if the state of Chu wants to rescue the state of Wei, it must pass through other countries, which is not only far away, but also difficult, delaying the time for the arrival of reinforcements.

It can be said that under the condition that all countries are contained, Wei will not have reinforcements in a short time.

If the armies of Qin and Qi are overwhelmed in this favorable period of time, it is very likely that Wei will not be able to withstand it, and will turn its back on Chu and surrender to Qin and Qi.

Thinking of this, King Qi nodded and said, "Okay, the matter of attacking Wei has been agreed to." I don't know when King Qin plans to do it? ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "King, now the vitality of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Zhongshan is still there, and the armies of Chu and Yue have not yet moved, and they still need to wait for a while..."

Since the beginning of September, Yan and Zhao have jointly attacked Zhongshan, with Zhao being strong and Yan weak. Zhongshan adopted the main force to meet the Zhao army, and adopted a defensive strategy of waiting for work at ease, exchanging space for time, and defending the city in the north.

At the end of September, within a month, the Zhao army and the Zhongshan army fought bloody battles one after another, and the victory or defeat was not scored. To the north, the resentment that Yan had accumulated for several years was all vented on Zhongshan, and within a month, half of the territory occupied by Zhongshan was recaptured.

It's just that after the Yan army captured several large cities one after another, the army was lost, the soldiers were tired, the strength of the Yan army's attack began to decline, and the strategy of Zhongshan State was initially effective.

At the same time, although the supplies of the Qi State began to pour into the Zhongshan State, in the face of the strong pressure of the Zhao State, the Zhongshan State repeatedly appealed to the Qi State and asked the Qi State to send troops to help.

And Qi replied: Okay, it's soon, don't worry, the army is gathering.

Under these circumstances, the Korean envoy group arrived in the capital of Chu before October.

The first day of October is the New Year of Chu.

After a grand banquet in Yingdu, there were two more permanent residents in Yingdu, a Han princess and a Han prince.

At the same time, Zilan, the second son of the king of Chu, was also sent to South Korea, and the two countries became closer.

End of October.

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

Information from various countries continued to be transmitted back to Yingdu, and then gathered in Chen Zhen's hands.

"In early October, Kuang Zhang of Qi led 50,000 Qi troops into Xiapi City, intending to defend the city, and Qi took a defensive position against the Chu-Yue coalition army."

"Qin led 80,000 troops to Hangu Pass, and Qin envoys entered Xinzheng, South Korea, to ask why South Korea betrayed Qin last year."

South Korea, on the other hand, stationed 100,000 troops in Yiyang to deal with the pressure of the Qin state. In addition, the Korean envoy Zhang Cui came to the state of Chu and asked for the help of our country of Chu to live in Korea. However, Sima was still watching in Wancheng, and only gathered 20,000 troops in Wancheng in case of emergency. ”

"The prince of the Yue State has led 30,000 Yue troops to Huaibei, and the Zhu State Jingcui has gathered 150,000 troops in Huaibei, and is now containing the Qi State in Huaibei, ready to attack the Xiapi City garrisoned by Kuang Zhang at any time."

After Chen Zhen introduced the information of other countries, he began to talk about the core of the storm: "After the Qin State arrived at Hangu Pass, the Zhao State once again transferred a part of its troops from the west and increased its troops against the Zhongshan State. And Yan has already regained three-quarters of the lost land, and it won't be long before Yan can recover all the lost land. ”

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said: "Zhao's increase in troops, it can be said that the war between Zhao and Zhongshan has officially entered the decisive stage, and at the latest in two months, they must divide the victory and defeat, otherwise in the face of the pressure of various countries, they can only truce." ”

"Now that the war has been fought, all other countries are waiting and watching, and the countries that should end up thinking that it is time for them to end. It's not to sneak attack Zhao or Zhongshan in a decisive battle, that is, to wait for the decisive battle to come out, and then officially enter the venue. ”

"And in the face of the pressure of more than 200,000 troops from our Chu and Yue countries, the Qi State only sent 50,000 elite soldiers to defend, and I saw that the Qi State planned not to want the Qi State to take Picheng under the last city in Huaibei."

Then Xiong Huai continued: "No matter what the Qi country has in mind, now the widows are ready to officially raise troops to attack Qi. ”

"The herald Zhu Guo Jingcui doesn't have to wait for the opportunity, in mid-November, the widow will let the Chuyue coalition army appear under Xiapi City. The purpose of this war was threefold, one was to weaken the Qi State, the second was to weaken the Yue State, and the third was to plunder the population. Tell Zhu Guo that this last requirement is the most important. ”

Jing Cui received the edict of the king of Chu and immediately convened the generals to discuss: "The general has just received the edict of the king, and the king has sent an order to immediately set out to attack the state of Qi." ”

"It is rumored that I will cook tomorrow on the third watch, and set off on the fifth watch, and the army will go straight to the next watch."

"Summon, let people inform General Wang Xing of the Yue Kingdom that the armies of our two countries will have a round in Xiapi City."

"No."
