Chapter 759: Retreat in Silence

(); The state of Chu planned to station 600,000 troops on the border of Feng Chu and make a show for Qingguo, but this obviously would not satisfy Lu Chen.

Because the 600,000 troops were there, they could threaten Lingnan at any time, which directly led to the Pingzhou army not daring to withdraw from Lingnan.

After the state of Chu made this decision, within a few days, Xiao Wang also came to the capital of Chu with the envoy's guard of honor.

He is the left minister of the Wind Country, and this time he is the envoy, and when he heard of his arrival, Prince Chu naturally treated him with courtesy.

"Xuan, the wind makes the palace ~~~~"

At the court meeting the next day, in the extremely long tone pulled by the eunuch, Xiao Wang stepped into the palace of Chu State.

After he came in, the ministers of Chu naturally looked at him sideways, and he walked to the front of the hall unhurriedly, bowed down to the prince of Chu on the throne above, bowed deeply, and said without humility or arrogance: "In Xia Xiao Wang, see His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”

His etiquette was in place, and Prince Chu hurriedly stretched out his hand slightly and said, "Prime Minister Xiao doesn't need to be polite. ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Chu." Xiao Wang straightened up.

At this time, the prince of Chu also began to ask: "I don't know what happened to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng coming to Chu this time?" ”

He asked this completely knowingly, and Xiao Wang didn't want to talk nonsense, so he said directly: "I came here this time to ask the Chu army to withdraw from the Fengchu border on behalf of my king. ”

Hearing this, Prince Chu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "My country's Baishi, there are indeed 600,000 soldiers, but that is also in the territory of my Chu State, as for whether to garrison troops and how many troops, it shouldn't be asked by King Feng, right?" ”

When Xiao Wang heard this, he also smiled slightly, and said: "The previous time, your country took Wang Shuang as the commander and gathered 600,000 troops to attack my country's Lingnan, and my king can not care about these, but now, your country is still unwilling to withdraw its troops, so my king has to consider your country's intentions." ”

After speaking, he immediately said: "Of course, it is normal for troops to be stationed at the border, but 600,000 troops are undoubtedly preparing for war.

If he really wants to fight to the death with the Wind Country, how can Prince Chu be willing, he couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Hehe, this ...... My country doesn't mean that either, the Wind King is misunderstood. ”

"Since it is a misunderstanding, then please ask Your Highness to withdraw troops from the border, and 200,000 troops in Baishitun, isn't it enough to protect the border and the people?" Xiao Wang said.

Xiao Wang is right, even if there are defenders left on the border, how can there be no 600,000 left, you know, 600,000 is almost the entire army of the Chu State!

After hearing this, Prince Chu did not immediately agree to him, but said: "This, this king still needs to think about it, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng doesn't need to worry." ”

"Your Highness!" Xiao Wang took two steps forward, and Zhengse said: "I won't detour around the bend, this time in the Qingchu Alliance, my country has taken the initiative to retreat from Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, what my king means, hasn't His Royal Highness understood it yet?" I just want His Highness not to interfere in the Fengqing War, and return the Chu State to Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, my king's sincerity is enough, if His Royal Highness insists on participating in this battle, then Zai Xia will immediately return to the country, organize troops, and start a war with the Chu army! ”

His words, which were straightforward and simple, made Prince Chu unable to avoid them. And now Xiao Wang has long been famous, he is a famous general in the world, and his ability to command the army, Prince Chu is still a little weak-hearted.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen wants to send Xiao Wang over.

After listening to his words, the prince of Chu also made a difficulty, now the Chu army is not retreating, not retreating, retreating, then offend Qingguo, do not retreat, Xiao Wang said that the Feng army will start a war with his own side immediately!

In a dilemma, the Prince of Chu had no choice but to say: "This, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is serious, my Chu State has absolutely no intention of starting a war with the Wind Country now, as for the 600,000 troops stationed in Baishi, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can also return to the Wind King, please rest assured that from today onwards, our army will never cross the border line one step." ”

Although he said this, it was an army of 600,000, and it was possible to attack the Fengjing realm at any time, and at that time, if the Pingzhou army was far away from the Fengqing battlefield, what would it be!

Therefore, what Prince Chu said was nonsense at all, and Xiao Wang couldn't be satisfied, he nodded and said: "In this way, His Royal Highness is insisting on attacking the wind, even so, there is nothing to say in the next place, so I will retire." ”

After he finished speaking, he also gave a salute to Prince Chu, and then really turned around and left.

Seeing this, Prince Chu suddenly became anxious, and couldn't help but hurriedly stretched out his hand and called: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng stays!" ”

Xiao Wang stopped, turned around and said, "That's all I have to say, what else is there to do with Your Highness?" ”

The prince of Chu smiled dryly again, and said: "This matter can be discussed, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Chu capital, and this king has not yet been entertained, why is this, why is this......"

If this Xiao Wang leaves, after he goes back, I am afraid that he will have to lead the army to fight with the Chu army, how can the prince of Chu not be in a hurry.

There is no doubt that the prince of Chu took back Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, and he had already had the idea of retreating, and now Xiao Wang came again, after he discussed it with his ministers, he was forced to decide at the moment that he would no longer participate in this war, but choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

His decision soon spread to the border of Chu in the form of a royal edict, and after Wang Shuang received the royal order, he did not dare to delay, and immediately began to lead the army back to China, leaving only 200,000 troops to garrison in Baishi.

The army of Chu retreated, and Xiao Wang also returned to Lingnan, and the Qing King, who received the news, was annoyed and angry! He didn't expect that the Chu State would once again be left and right, with two sides and three swords, everything was really right by Shangguan Jin!

Qingwang now, he has some regrets that he didn't listen to Shangguan Jin's opinion, and he joined forces to destroy Chu, but things have come to this point, the war has been launched, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and they are fighting fiercely, and at this time, he didn't want to stop the army.

He had no choice but to send an order to the commander in front and order Yue Heng and others to attack the wind with all their might, and at the same time, he also began to send envoys to the state of Chu to urge the Chu army to hurry up and fight.

But this time, after the Qing envoy arrived in Chu Capital, the prince of Chu was entertained with good wine and meat, but he never mentioned the matter of soldiers.

Chu State did this, Qing Wang was angry to death, but now, he has no way to take Chu State, now that the war has started, the strength of the Feng Army is not weaker than the Qing Army at all, and all his energy can only be placed on the side of the Wind Country.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that the current Chu State will not only no longer help him, but even the Prince of Chu has already begun to plot against Dongyang and Guiyuan.

As long as the Qing army has the potential to be defeated, the Chu State will definitely fall into the ground, so as to take the opportunity to recover the two counties again.

This is also completely in line with the national policy of Chu State, it can be said that this time Chu State found Guo Zilian, the Taifu of Qingguo, and he really found the right person.
