Chapter 454: Advancing as Retreating
After seeing the king of Chu shaking his head, Tang Yu said: "The king, the minister thinks that we should retreat, but we can't retreat directly, now that Qi and Wei are united, there are signs of resistance to Chu in various countries, if the king retreats now, it will definitely make all countries think that Chu is weak, and at that time, not only the Qin State will officially form an alliance with Qi Wei, I am afraid that Han and Zhao will be co-opted by Wei."
In addition, King Song found Qiu Liquid from Zhao State, originally hoping to use Zhao State just in case, as for Yue Guo, in recent times, King Yue has been secretly communicating with Qi State more and more frequently.
Therefore, the minister thought that the king's retreat now would only make the situation worse. ”
Xiong Huai nodded with a heavy face when he heard this, Tang Yu was a little deeper than he thought, and now the Chu State has no way to retreat.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked, "Si Defeat, then what do you think we should do?" ”
Tang Yu groaned: "King, there are two ways to retreat, one is to retreat directly, and the other is to advance as retreat. ”
"Advance is retreat!"
All three were startled at the same time.
Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Please tell me a little bit about Si Luo." ”
Tang Yu responded: "Great King, at present, the State of Qi has been defeated for a while, and its strength is not as good as before, my State of Chu can be described as a great momentum, and the State of Wei and the State of Qi are united, in addition to getting the bribes of the State of Qi and the support of the State of Qin, more of them are afraid of the strength of our State of Chu." The Qin State secretly supported the Wei State, but did not openly unite with the Qi and Wei countries, and was also worried about the retaliation of our Chu State.
All countries in the world are keen to be hegemons, not because of the false name of the hegemon, but because of the powerful influence brought by the hegemonic status. If a weak country wants to unite against the hegemon, it needs to communicate frequently in advance to unite, and to twist a plate of loose sand into a rope.
However, if the hegemon wants to attack the weak country, it does not need to communicate, and can directly order the other country and invite all countries to attack the weak country together. Because even if the weak country unites, it may not be able to defeat the strong hegemon, and the hegemon country attacks the weak country, it is easy to defeat the other party, and the chance of winning is high, and with a very small price, you can achieve significant results, for example, before our Chu State attacked the Qi State, why all countries have responded, it is because the countries think that the Qi State has a low chance of winning, so they are willing to send troops to pick up the cheap.
Therefore, it is not without reason that when the hegemon calls out, all countries gather to respond. ”
After a pause, Tang Yu smiled and said, "Great King, at this time, it is the time for the Great King to use the rights and interests of the overlord. Please ask the king to give an order for Sima Zhaoju to recruit troops again in Chendi, so as to create a sign that Chu wants to teach Wei a lesson. Then Xue Di left an army to guard against Kuang Zhang, and the main force of the Chu and Song coalition forces went to Tengdi to attract the Qi and Wei coalition forces to come and confront them.
At the same time, send people to Shangjun and let the coalition forces expel the Wei army. In addition, set a marriage date with Qin as soon as possible, and then announce it to other countries with great fanfare, so as to isolate Qi and Wei.
and sent an envoy to Zhao and Han, saying that Wei attacked its ally Song without authorization, which was a betrayal of the alliance, so he asked King Han and King Zhao to send 100,000 troops to cooperate with the Chu and Song coalition forces to besiege Wei and teach Wei a lesson. ”
Xiong Huai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The relationship between the Three Jin Dynasty is close, and if Han and Zhao send troops to attack Wei, they will definitely have resistance in their hearts." Moreover, now that Qin and Wei are making peace, the movements of Qin are unknown, and the war between Chu and Wei at this time is obviously unfavorable to Han and Zhao. Therefore, Han and Zhao would definitely not risk being attacked by the Qin State and assist the widows to attack the Wei State.
At the same time, the matter of the marriage between Qin and Chu spread to various countries, and other countries did not say it, and South Korea would definitely not refuse the widow, so as not to offend the widow and be besieged by Qin and Chu. In the case that the king of Han also did not want to attack the Wei state, what the king of Han could do was most likely to unite the Zhao state to put pressure on the Wei state, so that the Wei state would give in to the widows, and at the same time send people to persuade peace. ”
Tang Yu arched his hand and said, "The king is wise." ”
Xiong Huai thought about it again, and then asked Jingcui Chenzhen, "I don't know what the two virtuous people think of this." ”
Jingcui Chen Zhen responded at the same time: "This strategy is feasible. ”
"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded and said: "Chen Qing, if you have to go to Xuecheng, invite King Song to come to Chuying, and say that the widow has something important to discuss." ”
"Yui."
Soon after.
At Xiong Huai's invitation, King Song rushed to the Chu camp with Hui Ang with a heavy look.
"King Song, now that Wei has the support of Qin, betrayal has become a foregone conclusion. At the same time, the situation in the world has changed abruptly, and next, our alliance will no longer face a single Qin state or an isolated Qi state, but a joint challenge of the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei. Saying that, Xiong Huai said solemnly: "King Song, in this situation, the widow plans to discuss the future direction of attack with King Song. ”
King Song fell silent when he heard this.
The meaning of the king of Chu has been obvious, and the so-called problem of studying the direction of attack is undoubtedly to shift from the main attack on Qi to Qin and Wei.
If Chu State mainly attacks Wei State, it can also greatly relieve the pressure of Song State, if Chu State intends to teach Qin State who is secretly planning first, then Song State will face the pressure of Qi and Wei alone.
This...
Even though the Qi State suffered heavy losses not long ago, the Song State was still under great pressure.
Thinking about it, King Song spoke: "I don't know what the King of Chu has planned, and the widow listens." ”
Xiong Huai nodded: "King Song, the most hated thing in the widow's life is the betrayal from his allies. At the beginning, the countries joined forces to attack Qin, but the Qi State did not believe in its words and avoided the war, so the widow led the five-nation alliance army from outside the Hangu Pass all the way to the east to kill the Qi State, and taught the King of Qi a hard lesson.
Later, the countries met to fight Qi, Qin suddenly betrayed, sneak attack the Chu army, the widow also did not flinch, on the one hand let people fight a decisive battle with the Qi State, on the other hand, he personally led the troops to confront the Qin State, that station, the widow dispatched a million troops, and there was no worry. ”
When King Song heard this, his heart suddenly felt relaxed and cold.
Listening to the tone of the King of Chu, it was obvious that he wanted to teach the betrayer Wei a lesson, which made the King of Song, who was worried that the Chu State would attack the Qin State first, breathed a sigh of relief, and the Song State did not have to worry about being besieged by Qi and Wei.
However, on the other side, King Song was also hesitating in his heart, King Chu said so much, wasn't he warning Song Guo?
Thinking of Zhao Guolai's hatred, King Song's whole body suddenly became cold, and thinking about it, King Song immediately spoke: "What King Chu said is extremely true, and the betrayer is the most despicable. The Song and Wei countries jointly fought against the Qi State many times, and the last time the Qi and Qin countries jointly attacked the Wei State, they still sent troops to contain a large number of Qi troops in Jishui and Dayozawa, so that the Wei State could hold out until the reinforcements of the Chu State arrived.
As a result, the king of Wei not only did not take into account the friendship between the two countries of Song and Wei in the past, but also completely ignored the kindness of the widow to the Wei state. ”
