Chapter 260: Formal Felling of Qin

In early May, the armies of the Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty were in place one after another.

In late May, after a long journey, the 150,000 Qi army led by Shengzi rushed to Fenyin and successfully joined the Wei army.

At the end of May, the 100,000 Qi army led by Kuang Zhang finally arrived in Lindi.

At this point, all the Allied troops arrived.

At the beginning of June, the king of Zhao arrived in Lin and returned to Shicheng, and the king of Wei arrived in Puyang City behind Fenyin to supervise the allied forces.

At the same time, Xiong Huai, King Han, and King Qi led their respective courtiers to sit in Luoyi, using Luoyi as the base camp for attacking Qin, and began to deploy a battle plan against Qin.

The seventh day of June.

That is, not long after Zhang Yi said that he was ill, the time agreed by the countries had arrived, and he officially raised troops to attack Qin.

Luoyi.

"The Chu-Han coalition army has received news from Hangu Pass, and it has begun to feint to attack Hangu Pass."

"There is news from Zhaoju of the Chu army, and the troops have begun to advance into Yuzhong."

"The Qi-Wei coalition army has received news from Fenyin that they are erecting pontoon bridges and preparing to cross the river."

"The Qi-Zhao coalition army has received news from Lin Di that a pontoon bridge is being erected and preparing to cross the river."

After the attack on the Qin State was launched, information from all over the country continued to spread to Luoyi from all over the country.

Just when the pontoon bridges were still being erected in Fenyin and Lindi, Zhaoju took the lead in making a breakthrough, and within two days, the two counties were easily taken.

Then, under the policy of non-resistance of the Qin State, the road was like a bamboo, and within ten days, the entire central Yuzhong region was easily recovered, and the troops were stationed under Wuguan.

On the other side, although the river is turbulent, the pontoon bridge is still slowly being built, extending from the east bank to the west bank day by day.

A few days later, Fenyin and Lin successfully erected pontoon bridges successively, and began to engage in fierce battles with the Qin army on the west bank of the river.

The river war is not mentioned.

Just three days after the outbreak of the great battle on the other side of the river, the Yiqu State officially raised troops to attack Qin, and the 150,000 army marched south, intending to recover the lost territory and enter Xianyang.

The news that the Yiqu State had raised an army to attack Qin reached the Kwantung region, and immediately boosted the morale of the coalition forces.

Luoyi City.

Since the monarch of the Three Kingdoms of Chuqi and Han came to Luoyi, the Duke of Western Zhou gave up his palace and invited the monarch of the Three Kingdoms to live in his palace and find another place for a while.

After receiving the news from Yiqu Kingdom, Xiong Huai was different from King Han of Qi, who was full of joy, and behind his smile, a question appeared in his heart.

Didn't Gongsun Yan go to Yiqu Country to ask King Yiqu to send troops to attack Shangjun?

Why did the king of Yiqu lead his troops south?

However, forget it, it's good for King Yiqu to send troops, even if he can't directly support Zhao State, he can attack the north of Qin State, and he is also a main force!

"Report ······"

Three days later, a messenger rode into the city of Luoyi on a fast horse, and then, directly into the palace of the Duke of Western Zhou, dismounted, and galloped all the way into the main hall of the national council.

"Newspaper... A few days ago, the Yiqu army was killed in Yunyang, and was ambushed by the Qin army led by the Yiqu army, and the Yiqu was defeated, and the Yiqu was now chasing and killing the Yiqu king. ”

“······”

The hall was instantly suffocated, and the falling needles could be heard.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it immediately stunned everyone.

Three days ago, I received the news that the Yiqu Kingdom had raised troops, and the Yiqu Kingdom's army was heading south, which would take some time.

Three days is just enough to travel, but now, that is, three days later, the Yiqu Kingdom will be defeated, which is too fast...

King Han was terrified, anxious and afraid, and couldn't believe it: "Which country are you a spy from, you can know that you lie about the military situation, and you will be beheaded according to the law." ”

Now there is no need for the king of Han to be in a hurry, and the Yiqu State is defeated, which greatly affects the morale of the coalition army.

If it is because of the defeat of Yiqu that the countries stop their troops and the matter of attacking Qin goes bankrupt, then once the Qin State retaliates afterwards, the Zhao State is not afraid, the Wei State is not afraid, and the Qi and Chu countries are even more afraid, but South Korea is afraid.

That's right, weakness is the original sin.

The messenger was shocked: "Back to the king of Han, I am a soldier of the Wei State, this time I am on the order of General Xiwu to summon the news to the kings, and there is a letter of the order to rely on..."

When King Han asked him to check the identity of the person who came, Xiong Huai couldn't help but look at King Qi, but King Qi also looked over, and the eyes of the two of them all showed shock, and after looking at each other for a few breaths, King Qi's gaze drifted to the side unnaturally.

After verification, the identity of the messenger was indeed true, but King Han was still in disbelief.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and asked, "Then did General Xiwu tell you what the casualties of the Yiqu State were in this battle, and what were the casualties of the Qin State?" ”

The messenger shook his head and said, "Back to the alliance master, the villain doesn't know." ”

"So how many people are there around King Yiqu?"

"The villain doesn't know!"

“···”

Well, I don't know.

Xiong Huai sighed and smiled: "Okay, if you have work, give you a gold, you can step down!" ”

The messenger was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord of the Alliance! ”

After the messenger left, the king of Qi whispered to himself: "The 150,000 army was defeated in a battle, is it really the victory of the mourning army?" ”

Then King Qi said to Xiong Huai: "Alliance leader, what do you think we should do now, after this battle, the morale of the Qin army will definitely increase greatly, and now if you want to break through the Qin defense line, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

When King Han heard King Qi's deflated words, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly looked at Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai said lightly: "King Qi, don't worry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Yiqu Country is an unexpected reinforcement, so victory is joyful, and defeat is not sad, it is not in the plan of our five countries." ”

Hearing this, King Han echoed: "What the alliance leader said is very true, this time it was our five countries attacking Qin, and we did not invite the Yiqu country in the first place, and the defeat of Yiqu did not hurt the strength of our five countries at all." ”

When the King of Qi heard this, he was noncommittal, but sighed and said: "The widow is worried that it is not this, but that the Yiqu State has suffered this great defeat, not only will it not be able to contain the forces of the Qin State in the northwest of the Qin State, but it will also be suppressed by the Shan Li Disease and submit to the Qin State. ”

"At that time, Zhu Lijian will take the army in the northwest of the Qin State and the army of the Yiqu State to the east to reinforce and concentrate his forces to attack one of our armies, at that time, what should we do."

Xiong Huai's eyebrows frowned when he heard this, although King Qi's words were not listened to, and he was still discouraged, but this was also what he was worried about.

Especially in Wuguan, where Zhaoju is located, there are only 150,000 Chu troops, which can be said to be the least troop among the various armies.

King Han had just settled down, thinking hard about how to deal with it, and when he heard King Qi's words, his mind was suddenly confused, and he didn't even react to Shen Cha behind him pulling his sleeve.

Shen Cha tugged on King Han's sleeve, saw that King Han ignored him, and then looked up, Yu Guang saw that King Han had been distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he had to come out and say: "Alliance leader, King Qi, the minister has a word, King Yiqu has an army of 150,000 in his hands, and there is only a partial division in the northwest of Qin State in the hands of Zhu Liji." In the face of the Yiqu army, he must have a great disadvantage in terms of strength, so even if the king of Yiqu is ambushed and defeated for a while, his strength still exists. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that King Qi's speculation must be the worst outcome facing the Yiqu Kingdom."
