Chapter 326: The Sword Goes Sideways
The king of Chu agreed with Jia Wendao's suggestion and discussed many details with each other.
Jia asked to resign, Gongzi Kui was full of depression, and asked: "Father, send 100,000 sailors to help the Qin army fight, but only get two states, and the sons are stupid, I don't know why my father agreed?" ”
"Alas!"
King Chu let out a long sigh and was quite disappointed in Gongzi Kui.
He often taught Gongzi Kui not to be a short-sighted person, and to deal with the affairs of the Chu State, and to start from the situation of the vassal states.
Today, Gongzikui's words and deeds have blinded his mind with hatred.
Caring for revenge, revenge on the King of Qin, ignoring the interests of the Chu State.
"You're so presumptuous!" King Chu shook his head slightly.
At this time, his sharp eyes shifted to Jing Hongchang, and he said: "Wait, the Chu army assists the King of Qin in the battle, and occupies Jingxiang and the seven states in the south of the Yangtze River, it is definitely not an overnight thing, you go to Chu Dong on this trip, no matter how much it costs, you must stick to the southern victory." The imperial court would buy war horses in the Qin State as soon as possible and send them to the eastern battlefield. ”
"Whoa!"
Jing Hongchang nodded, and said with a fist in a sonorous voice.
The campaign on the Western Front was launched, and he knew how much responsibility he had on his shoulders to go to the East.
"Hmm!"
The king of Chu replied, and then said: "General Han, the imperial court has assembled a naval division, and you and General Jing have full authority to command, and you have full authority to obey the command of the king of Qin on the western front, and you must not destroy the current alliance because of the old enmity between the two countries."
Of course, if King Qin has selfish intentions and plots against him, you will immediately report to the book. ”
"Whoa!"
Han Daochang received the order.
He led the army with Jing Hongyang, and had direct contact with the King of Qin on the battlefield, and knew how good the King of Qin was at fighting and how brave the Qin army was.
At present, the Qin army and the Chu army are marching south, the Qin army is the main one, and the Chu army is the auxiliary, and he only needs to lead the army to help the Qin army eradicate all the water divisions.
The two armies of Qin and Chu combined, and judging from the current situation, seizing Jingxiang and occupying Jiangnan were like probing for things.
"Prime Minister, Tai Lieutenant, the Chu army is about to fight on two fronts, money, food, and military supplies need to be deployed by Aiqing, even if the treasury is short of food, it needs to unswervingly support the two armies on the front line!" The king of Chu admonished.
Whether or not the South can win a great victory has a bearing on the situation in the eastern battlefield.
If the south wins a great victory, gets money, grain, and cities, he has the opportunity to drive a personal expedition, go to the east to supervise the war, expel the Qi army, and recover the lost territory.
"Whoa!"
Prime Minister Sang Songming, Taiwei Fuchun received the order.
.........
Successfully lobbied the king of Chu to send troops, Jia Wendao did not stay in Shouchun for a long time, and returned to Liulin City non-stop.
Since the state of Chu had promised to assist the Qin army, he should send the news back to Liulin City, so that the Qin army could deploy in advance and prepare for war as soon as possible.
When the arrow is unsheathed, it is invincible.
Jingxiang fertile field, Jiangnan water town, fell into the Qin State, Chu State.
Unfortunately, there are no impermeable walls.
Jia Wendao has not yet returned to Liulin City, and the secret letter of the State of Chu promising to send sailors to the aid of the Qin army has been submitted to the case of Qi Wanglong.
For a long time, the king of Qi always hoped that Lu Kang would be quickly resolved on the battlefield in eastern Chu.
Then send envoys to repair relations with the state of Chu.
Call on all vassal states to form a coalition army, take advantage of the Chu State, kill Dakang, attack the city, and curb the expansion of the Qin State.
However, people are not as good as heaven.
The king of Qin went to Anzhou to recuperate, and the Qin army occupied Longzhou and Fengzhou almost bloodlessly, and captured Yuan Ci in Liulin City, unexpectedly ending Yuan Ci's rule in Longdong ahead of schedule.
The territory of Qin expanded rapidly, and the king of Qin did not stop at the right time, so that the Qin army could rest and recuperate, but sent envoys to Chu to persuade the king of Chu to send troops to fight in Dakang.
Reading the letter, King Qi trembled angrily.
There is a feeling of being slapped in the face, humiliated, angry, and has nowhere to vent his evil anger.
At the beginning of Linzi, he secretly formed an alliance with the Qin State, one of the purposes of which was to let the Qin State contain the Chu State.
The state of Qi dominated the east, and the king of Qin expanded on the western front.
When necessary, Qin Qi formed a coalition army to contain the Chu State, and even eliminated the Chu State.
The Qi army marched south, occupied the Song State, occupied the northeast of Chu, and the army expanded rapidly.
At present, there are more and more Chu troops in the Chudong battlefield, and the Qi army is trapped in the Chudong battlefield.
Occupying the Song State, the King of Song still called on the Song people to resist in the territory of the Chu State, and there were more and more uprisings in the Song Dynasty, containing a large number of Qi troops.
Lu Kang led the army in the battlefield of eastern Chu, and the expansion rate slowed down.
On the Western Front, a series of plans to provoke Qin and Wei caused the Qin army to attack Wei, and Qin withdrew in time.
The revelation of the Qi plan caused the wrath of the King of Qin.
Now the king of Qin invited the Chu army to enter Dakang, which was equivalent to forming an alliance with the Chu state in disguise, and the Qi state did not get any benefits, and the situation became more and more embarrassing and dangerous.
While thinking about it, the king of Qi sent eunuchs to summon his sons and servants into the palace alone.
Qin and Chu are on good terms, and the pattern of the seven northern kingdoms has changed suddenly, if they can't fight each other, the Qi country will be in danger.
Gongzi quickly entered the palace, and after reading the letters, he learned that Qin Chu had formed a coalition army, his face was pale, and he was secretly angry, but he was helpless.
From the time he was attacked, in addition to sending people to investigate in detail, when he was recuperating from his illness, he was all studying military books and deducing the pattern of the Seven Kingdoms.
Unexpectedly, the expansion speed of the Qin State far exceeded his expectations.
"Father, Qin Chu is close, and the country of Qi is in danger.
No wonder King Qin went to the south to recuperate, taking Princess Mengluo with him, but leaving Qingyue in Xianyang Palace. If Erchen's guess was correct, King Qin was afraid that he would know that the Qi State was provoking Qin Wei. This time, he chose to be close to the State of Chu and deliberately disgusted the State of Qi. Gongzi said with a serious face.
"You're right!" King Qi agreed.
Gongzi sat on the soft couch, his injuries were still not healed, and continued: "The king of Qin chose the Chu army, the key is that there is no sailor in the Qin army, if he continues to march south, encountering Jingxiang and the sailor in the south of the Yangtze River, it will make the Qin army very passive, so the king of Qin intends to give the benefits to the Chu state to realize his ambitions." ”
Qin Chu's conquest of Dakang had little impact on the Qi State.
Even, the southern crossing of the Chu State Naval Division will reduce the Chu army in the eastern Chu battlefield.
Gongzi was afraid, afraid that Qin and Chu would form an alliance, and when the two armies won a great victory in Jingxiang and Jiangnan in the future, the king of Chu invited the king of Qin to lead an army to the east.
At that time, the situation of the Qi army on the battlefield in eastern Chu would be very bad.
As far as he knew, King Qin did not hesitate to resort to any means in order to compete for interests, and his speculation was by no means unfounded.
The king of Qi picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, and sighed: "The Qi State destroyed the Song Dynasty, occupied the eastern part of Chu, and called on the vassal states to march to Dakang. On the other hand, the Qin State easily occupied Fengzhou and Longzhou, and obtained the elite of the tiger ben commanded by Yuan Ci, and the national strength skyrocketed, and the military strength increased greatly.
According to the current trend, the Qin army occupied the Jingxiang region, and even though the Qi State called on the northern countries to lead the army to attack it, he was not absolutely sure of defeating the Qin army. ”
"Father's intentions, make peace with the Chu State, reconcile, and call on the Chu army to attack Dakang?" The prince asked curiously.
The Qin army was too sharp and difficult to stop.
Unless the relationship between Qin and Chu is destroyed, the state of Qi and the state of Chu are reconciled, and they form an alliance with each other to resist the foreign state of Qin, the prince can't think of any way to change the passive situation.
