Chapter 465: Chu-Han Alliance
King Song looked at Xiong Huai hesitantly.
Now that the state of Zhao has sent troops, but the two initiating countries of Chu and Song have not moved, isn't this a little inappropriate.
looked at the King of Chu's face as usual, not showing half of his color.
King Song nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, the widow will wait for the good news of the king of Chu, and then the three kingdoms will attack Wei together." โ
"Okay." Xiong Huai smiled: "King Song, please be ready, maybe there will be news from South Korea soon." โ

Next.
Just when the King of Song came to the tent of the King of Chu again to greet him.
Chen Zhen hurriedly walked in and said, "The king, the king of Song, the Korean envoy is here." โ
"Korean emissary?" Xiong Huai was stunned, glanced at King Song, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Please, please invite the Korean envoy in." โ
"Yui."
After a while, Chen Zhen guided the Korean envoy Zhang Cui into the tent.
"Meet the King of Chu, meet the King of Song." Zhang Cui saluted.
"No courtesy." Xiong Huai and King Song spoke one after another.
Then, Xiong Huai asked, "I don't know what the envoy is here for." โ
When Zhang Cui heard this, he arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister came to discuss with the king of Chu about sending troops to attack Wei on the order of the king of Han. โ
"Van Wei!" Xiong Huai asked in surprise: "Could it be that King Han still has doubts about the matter of Vawei?" โ
"Back to the king, it's not like that." Zhang Cui shook his head and said: "My lord, because the movements of the Qin State are unknown, and the Wei State has made peace with the Qin State privately, the widow is worried that the Qin State will take the opportunity to attack Yiyang, an important town in South Korea, after the State of Qin sends troops to the State of Wei. However, the king's request and the betrayal of Wei could not be ignored, so he planned to send 70,000 troops to deter Wei. โ
"Seventy thousand!" Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although the 70,000 Han army did not have the 100,000 army required by the Chu State, it was not much worse.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai bowed slightly: "Envoy, the affairs of the Qin State are unnoticed by the widows, and if South Korea can send 70,000 troops, it can be regarded as the king of Han's heart." โ
After a pause, Xiong Huai asked, "I don't know when Korea plans to send troops to attack Wei." โ
Zhang Cui did not answer, but bowed again: "Great King, Wei is a big country, and the widow is worried that the 70,000 Han army will not only be difficult to threaten Wei, but there is also a risk of being defeated by the Wei army. Therefore, in order to avoid flaws in the armies sent by various countries to attack Wei, the widow sent a special minister to visit the king of Chu and asked Chu and Han to form an alliance to attack Wei together. โ
Xiong Huai looked at Zhang Cui, who was bending down to salute, and thought silently in his heart.
Now that the main force of Wei is in Tengdi, the country has to face the siege of various countries, where is there still the strength to attack the 70,000 troops of South Korea.
South Korea tied itself to the state of Chu and hid under the wings of the Chu army, which was still worried about the retaliation of the Wei State afterwards.
However, the formation of a coalition between Chu and Han is also beneficial to the state of Chu.
Originally, Zhaoju had already gathered more than 100,000 Chu troops in Chendi, but now with the support of the Han army, there is no need to send all the Chu troops out, just go to 70,000 or 80,000.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "In this case, just in case, then Chu and Han will form a coalition army." โ
"King Xie!" Zhang Cui said overjoyed.
Xiong Huai asked again: "Envoy, I don't know where the Korean army is now, and when Korea will be able to send troops to Wei." โ
Zhang Cui replied: "Back to the king, the army of our country has rushed to the border of Chu, Wei and Han under the leadership of the general Storm Kite, calculate the time, now the Han army should be ready, just wait for the king's order, you can attack Wei." โ
"Okay." Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Since the Han army has been prepared, it is better to take today's period, and ten days later, you and I will join forces to send troops to Wei State, how about it." โ
"I will listen to the king." Zhang Cui responded.
Xiong Huai nodded, and then said to King Song: "King Song, I don't know if the Song army will be able to send troops to Wei after ten days." โ
King Song chuckled and said, "King Chu rest assured, this matter has already been prepared. โ
Xiong Huai smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, then our three kingdoms will attack Wei together in ten days." โ
After speaking, Xiong Huai said to Jing Cui: "Zhu Guo, send a message to Sima, let him rush to join Korea as soon as possible, and ten days later, the Three Kingdoms will jointly attack Wei." โ
"Yui."
When King Song saw Jingcui leaving, he immediately spoke: "King Chu, since this is the case, the widow should also go back to transfer troops." โ
Xiong Huai nodded and replied, "King Song, please." โ
After King Song and Zhang Cui left, Xiong Huai inexplicably remembered a word in his heart: it is difficult to ride a tiger.
On the other side, Teng Chengzhong.
When Gongsun Xi and Shengzi were looking at the camp of the Chu and Song coalition forces on the wall of Tengcheng, Teng Xiang Zhai Qiang came over and chuckled: "General Xiwu, General Shengzi, you have been watching Tengcheng for a long time, but there is a way to break Chu." โ
Gongsun Xi and Shengzi glanced at each other with complicated expressions, and then they both shook their heads.
Seeing this, Zhai Qiang sighed slightly, as if he was very regretful, and shook his head and said: "The two countries of Chu and Song are too arrogant, and they are still unwilling to retreat when the Qi and Wei coalition forces came to the rescue. โ
Gongsun Xi snorted coldly and did not speak.
And the sound is as if nothing has been heard, and there is no sign.
When Gongsun Xi led the Wei army to Tengcheng, he did not listen to Zhai Qiang's persuasion at first, and wanted to gather the Qi and Wei coalition forces to fight with the Chu and Song coalition forces, and take the opportunity to force back the Chu and Song coalition forces, but this proposal was rejected by Shengzi.
Now, the State of Qi does not want to start a war with the State of Chu at all, exchanging a Qi soldier for a Chu soldier, no matter how you calculate it, Shengzi feels that the State of Qi has lost.
So, when the Qi State was unwilling to go out of the city to fight, the Wei State could not do it alone, so it had to give up.
As a result, nearly 400,000 Qi-Wei coalition troops watched the Chu and Song battalions become stronger and stronger, and now, Gongsun Xi has no desire to attack the Chu and Song coalition forces.
Seeing this, Zhai Qiang said to Gongsun Xi: "General Xiwu, someone just came to report that there was a problem with the military rations delivered by Tengcheng to the Wei army. Therefore, I would like to ask the general to go with me to solve this problem. โ
Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and responded: "In this case, let's go with Teng Xiang in the future." โ
Zhai Qiang nodded, and bowed his hand to Shengzi: "General Shengzi, there is still important business below, so I will leave." โ
Shengzi smiled: "Sir, please." โ
After a while, Zhai Qiang made it easy for Gongsun Xi to return to Zhai Qiang's mansion.
Fuchu.
Gongsun Xi looked at Zhai Qiang hesitantly and asked, "Sir, didn't you say that there is a problem with military rations?" Why did you come to your house? โ
Zhai Qiang shook his head, took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Gongsun Xidao: "I invited the general to come, not because of the problem of military rations, but because something happened to the Wei State."
Ten days ago, the state of Chu sent envoys to Han and Zhao, asking them to send troops to besiege the state of Wei. As a result, both Zhao and Han agreed to Chu's request. Moreover, the state of Zhao has sent troops and is preparing to besiege Puyang, the capital of the defense of the country. โ
