Chapter 372: Night Visit
Yue Meng saw that Gongzi's hooves jumped out impatiently to object, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
Profit and wisdom are faint!
Then, Yue Meng thought of Gongzi Yu who stayed in Wucheng, it seemed that these two brothers were similar, they both considered their own gains and losses first, and then considered the pros and cons of Yue Guo.
In the previous discussion of the Yue State and the Qi Dynasty, the Yue Kingdom saw that the King of Chu was personally conquest, so the King of Yue also planned to personally conquer the Qi State.
Then, in order to protect himself, and in order to defeat Gongziyu, Gongziyu asked for war one after another, intending to take the opportunity to obtain the army and credit.
It's just that Gongziyu's power was not as good as Gongzi's, and several ministers of the original neutral faction didn't know what benefits Gongzi's hoof had received, so they actually fell to Gongzi's side and supported Gongzi's hoof.
As a result, Gongziyu was defeated and was once again ordered to stay in Wucheng to supervise the country.
Originally, King Yue planned to let Yue Meng and Gongshiyu assist Gongzi Yu to supervise the country, but because Yuemeng had been faintly speaking for Gongzi Yu before, Gongzi Hoof took advantage of the big victory to pull Yue Meng into the Qi army, and left Gongshi Yu to fight with Gongzi Yu in Wucheng.
Don't mention Gongzi Yu's struggle in Wucheng.
On this side, hearing King Yue's inquiry, Wang Xing thought about it, if he doesn't fight, then there is no credit, how can this be done!
So, he said: "The king, what the prince said is favorable, this time we sent 150,000 troops to the country, and we can't work in vain. β
Seeing that Huaibei Shou also agreed with his words, Gongzi nodded slightly at Wang Xing.
Yue Meng was worried that King Yue would be moved by the two of them, and resolutely asked to attack Tancheng, so he said: "Great King, what Gongzi and General Wang said is reasonable, and this time we can't do without the slightest benefit." β
Gongzi Hoof was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that Yuemeng had changed his sex, but he heard Yuemeng say: "Therefore, we should take the opportunity to ask for benefits from Chu and Song." β
Yue Meng said that I was the son's hoof, and the child's hoof immediately froze, this old thing is still that old thing.
As soon as King Yue heard this, he was in line with his heart, and immediately asked Yue Meng: "I want to hear about it!" β
Yue Meng nodded, knowing that King Yue asked him to explain to Gongzi Hoof and Wang Xing, so he spoke: "Great King, now the Qi State has been fortified in the south of Jucheng, and has firmly guarded various cities. Tancheng is strong, even if Chu and Yue work together, it will be difficult to conquer Tancheng. Therefore, the attack on Tancheng by Chu and Yue was actually just for a dozen small cities in the south of Tancheng. β
"But if we can't conquer Tancheng and the main force of the Qi army is not damaged, then as long as we retreat, the Qi State can immediately recover these cities. Not only that, if the Qi State is interested, I am afraid that even Zhongwu City, where we are now, will be taken back by the Qi State. β
Gongzi wanted to refute that the combined forces of Chu and Yue had 400,000 people, and Tancheng only had 150,000 Qi troops, so why couldn't they capture it?
But the last time he heard Yue Meng mention Zhongwu City, he suddenly turned off the fire.
The last time Chu and Yue attacked the small city of Zhongwucheng, it took several months, and they also did not take it, and in the end, it was the Qi State that took the initiative to give Zhongwucheng to the Chu State in order to divert the contradictions.
Tancheng is much bigger than Zhongwu City, whether it can be captured or not, Gongzi hesitated.
Yue Meng didn't care what Gongzi Hoof thought, and after talking about the disadvantages of attacking Tancheng, he continued: "But if the Chu and Song countries attack Xue Di, it will not be the case, the ministers heard that Meng tasted the monarchy, and his reputation spread far and wide, and the scholars attached to him one after another, and Xue Di was not so easy to fight." β
"If you want to capture Xuecheng, the Chu and Song coalition forces must pay a heavy price, and even so, whether it succeeds or not is still between the two. If Xue Cheng is finally conquered, then the State of Qi will be severely damaged, and Meng Yanjun's fief will be lost, and the State of Qi and Meng Yanjun will definitely unite countries to retaliate against the State of Chu. And in order to prevent the Chu State from becoming stronger, the countries will also respond to the Qi State. β
"If the Chu and Song coalition forces still fail to conquer Xuecheng despite heavy losses, Qi will defeat Chu, and the momentum will be great, and all countries will move closer to Qi. At that time, in order to retaliate against the Chu State, and the Three Jin Dynasty in order to obtain benefits from the Chu State, as long as someone is maneuvering around it, then the countries will besiege the Chu State, and this is the opportunity that we have been waiting for for a long time. β
Gongzi was stunned, shook his head slightly, and asked: "But Xue Di's army is just a group of rabble, whether it can hold Xue City under the siege of the Chu and Song coalition forces is a problem, and how can it make Chu suffer heavy losses?" β
Yue Meng smiled meaningfully: "Isn't our Yue Guo holding back the main force of the Qi army!" β
Childe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Since it is the Vietnamese army that contains the main force of the Qi army, as long as the Vietnamese army releases waterΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
No!
Gongzi Hoof thought of another method, not to release water, but to directly unite with the Qi State, attack Zhongwu City, cut off the back road of the Chu army, and kill the more than 200,000 Chu troops in Xue Di, when the Chu State will definitely be greatly injured.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but glance at Yue Meng with palpitations.
Fortunately, this old guy is just inclined to Gongzi Yu, instead of sitting on Gongzi Yu's side.
Yue Meng paused and continued to speak: "Great King, let the Chu and Song coalition forces attack Xue Di, which is beneficial to our Yue Kingdom, but in order to avoid suspicion in Chu State, we can't easily agree to this matter, and Chu and Song must pay the price." β
King Yue nodded approvingly.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After dark.
Tang Wu came to the Yue camp with a team of guards, and said to the guards: "I am tired of reporting that the State of Chu defeated Tang Wu and asked to see the king of Yue." β
The guard of the gate of Yueying looked out, and it was the Chu State Division who had been with Yue Guo for many years, and he was stunned, and immediately responded: "Please wait a little later, and report to the king immediately." β
"Hmm!" Tang Yu answered, and waited outside the camp.
"Tang Yu is visiting?" When King Yue got the news, he glanced at Yue Meng, and immediately spoke: "It seems that King Chu is going to discuss with the widow whether to attack Xue Di or Tancheng tomorrow!" β
"Pass on the widow's order, please come in for a while!"
Tang Wu came to the camp and saw King Yue personally greeting him outside the big tent, and immediately said: "I have seen King Yue." β
"No courtesy."
Just in the greeting room, everyone walked into the big tent, and after the guests and hosts sat down, King Yue opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know if Tang Zi came to visit at night, do you know if you have any advice?" β
"Don't dare!" Tang Yu arched his hand and said: "The king, I came here at night because I was ordered by the widow to discuss something with the king. β
"I don't know what?"
"It's a question of attacking Tancheng or Xue Di."
King Yue was immediately overjoyed and said, "Could it be that the King of Chu has decided to attack Tancheng, so he has come to inform the widow?" β
Tang Yu smiled: "That's not the case, the widow plans to attack Xue Di, hoping to get the support of the king." β
King Yue's face changed when he heard this.
The state of Chu has not yet consulted with the state of Yue and reached an agreement, so has it decided to attack Xue Di with the state of Song?
Where is this Yue Kingdom, and who does he think of King Yue?
