On the third day of the seventh month, the Zhou family was in Wangji.

After Xiong Xian led his troops north, the 80,000 Chu troops who remained in Wangji were under the command of the Chu general Chen Yu.

At this time, inside the main tent of the Chu army outside Shangluo City, Chen Yu was pacing back and forth in the military tent with an anxious face.

Because just now he received the news, the Wu army, which has been following behind their buttocks, has been moving continuously in the past two days.

The most important thing is to look at the posture, there is already an intention to outflank the back of the Chu army, which makes Chen Yu how to endure it.

Previously, when Xiong Xian handed over the army to him, he repeatedly warned him to stabilize the army of Wu and Wei.

Since Xiong Xian left, Chen Yu did not dare to relax for a day, and the Wei army in the north did not stop, and it was not easy to maintain the situation at all.

And now, Wu Guoren has also begun to be restless, which makes Chen Yu how can he stand it.

The Wei army could not solve its problems once and for all, but as long as the Wu people were beaten, they would honestly retreat.

So after Chen Yu thought about it, he made up his mind to teach Wu Jun a lesson, so that they could understand the difficulties and retreat.

The Wu army had 50,000 people, and the Chu army left behind in Wangji had 80,000, in order to ensure the superiority over the Wu army, Chen Yu mobilized 60,000 troops to attack Wu.

In other words, now there are only 20,000 Chu troops defending the Wei army north of the Great River, and I have to say that Chen Yu took the risk this time.

So soon after the battle order was issued, Chen Yu regretted it a little, until now it has evolved into extreme anxiety.

Chen Yu was not too worried about whether he could defeat the Wu army, he was only afraid that the Wei army would attack him.

Once the army is entangled by the Wu army in the south, and the Wei army in the north does not relentlessly attack, then their Chu army will be really dangerous.

As soon as he thought of the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Wei army, Chen Yu felt a big head.

"Alas, it's still impulsive...... Chen Yu muttered.

But he didn't dare to let others hear this, if it got out, it would be a blow to the morale of the Chu army.

Although he was extremely worried, Chen Yu could only wait, everything had been arranged, and he was just waiting for the result.

In the midst of all the boredom, the neighing of horses was heard outside the military tent, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Message is coming......

Chen Yu couldn't sit still immediately, but he still tried his best to restrain the idea of rushing out, and sat in the handsome seat safely waiting for the scout's return.

"General, our army has defeated the Wu army, and now the Wu army is surrounded on all sides, and it will be able to annihilate it in a few days!" The scout was full of excitement, and it seemed that he was happy after winning the battle.

In any case, this was good news, so Chen Yu was still relieved in his heart, so he listened to him ask: "Since we have won, what are the casualties of our army?" What about the casualties of the Wu army? ”

Only by knowing the real results of the battle can Chen Yu know whether the battle was worth fighting or not.

But at this time, the scout was hesitant, and under Chen Yu's torch-like gaze, he knelt down and confessed: "The general forgives the sin, the villain came in a hurry, and he didn't know the battle damage between our army and the Wu army!" ”

Of course, Chen Yu was very angry at this time, but he also knew that he couldn't be angry, after all, people were here to report good news.

So Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "Hurry back to the front line, figure things out, and then report to me quickly!" ”

The scout was like an amnesty, and after saluting Chen Yu, he cautiously withdrew from the military tent.

Because of this little episode, Chen Yu didn't smile at all at this time, but made his heart hang.

No matter how worried you are, time still has to pass, and Chen Yu is even more entangled now about whether to order the army in front to withdraw, after all, guarding against the Wei army is the most important task.

When he kept suffering from the chaos and knew what he should do, Chen Yu immediately stopped dwelling, and then wrote his own order.

I have to say that Chen Yu's decision was very forward-looking, and early the next morning, the news of a large number of Wei troops was transmitted.

This can scare Chen Yu a lot, but fortunately, all the troops attacking Wu have returned according to the order, although the front line is tight now, but as long as they hold on for one day, they can save the unfavorable situation.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, the Wei army stationed in Chendi made a large-scale sortie and attacked the direction of Wang under the leadership of Wang Xiu.

In the east, Zheng Chang and Liu Xuanba are advancing day by day, and they don't know how much they have earned in their military exploits, which makes Wang Xiu not hot.

Before he competed with Chen Zhan for the position of general of the Changping battalion, the two were actually equal, and the reason why he was able to take the throne was because he was closer to the monarch, so Wang Xiu needed to prove himself more.

What's more, now that Chen Zhan is stationed in Fufeng and stabilized the land of the two counties of Qin, it is also a great achievement.

Only he, Wang Xiu, although he is in the position of the chief general of the Changping battalion, has not made an inch.

The people of Chu and Wu fought each other, and Wang Xiuzi, the fighter plane, could not let it pass, so he decided to lead a large army to attack.

In fact, although Wei Wuji authorized them to arbitrarily act on the spot, they were also responsible for their own actions.

Therefore, this military operation led by Wang Xiu, no matter what the victory or defeat is, if the army suffers heavy losses, his military career will come to an end.

The Chu army attacked Wu, and now the Chu army on the south bank of the river is insufficient, so Wang Xiu ordered the troops to be divided into five ways and pressed the past with a dignified and upright military advantage.

No matter what advantage the Chu army had, the shortcomings of its insufficient forces were enough to wipe out all this, and the Wei army could make it stumble left and right in unison.

This is indeed the case, under the advance of the Wei army's five-way army, Chen Yu also had to order the troops to divide into five routes to meet the Wei army with weak forces.

Fortunately, there is a big river as a natural danger, although the Wei army is menacing, but it must first cross the river, so the two armies are also deadlocked.

In this way, Chen Yu just let the front line hold on, while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to attack Wu.

But at this time, there was an accident, and the reinforcement army that was supposed to arrive at the front line on the seventh day of the first month was delayed.

The army of Wu, which was besieged by the Chu army, actually fought back desperately, delaying the return of the Chu army.

This can make Chen Yu half angry, and all he can do is to keep issuing military orders, so that all departments can quickly get rid of the entanglement of the Wu army and go all out to return to the south bank of the river.

Because of this, the Chu army had no desire to fight, but suffered a big loss from the Wu State, and suffered a lot of losses along the way.

Although Wu had a big defeat before, it didn't actually hurt its vitality, so this time the Chu army lost his wife and his troops in the battle against Wu.

However, after the Chu army retreated to the north of Shangluo and gathered its forces in one place, the Wu army did not dare to continue the pursuit.

The reason why this is the case, on the one hand, is because Wu has achieved its goal, and on the other hand, because of the continued pursuit, the battle line will be too long, and the risk will become higher.

However, the Wu army did not retreat there, they were entrenched in the area south of Shangluo, and could attack the Chu army at any time.

The current situation is that half of the Zhou royal family Wangji is controlled by the Chu army, and half is controlled by the Wu people.

The Wu army was not more merciful than the Chu army, and they also needed food and grass to feed, which made the local Zhou people miserable.

Under the continuous war, it was only the ordinary people who suffered, and after being exploited by the Chu army, these Zhou people were plundered by the Wu army.

And now, Chen Yu really couldn't laugh, he didn't expect that the situation would develop like this.

After the Wu army occupied the area south of Shangluo, the rear route of the Chu army was temporarily cut off, and there was a general attack by the Wei army in the north that could be launched at any time.

Chen Yu's current pressure can be imagined, and he is more worried about what kind of disaster it will bring to him and his family after the serious consequences caused by this.

With the temperament of the current monarch, once the Chu army suffers a heavy blow, it will be difficult for him and his people to survive.

Therefore, Chen Yu can only think of trying his best to recover his losses, and he no longer has the idea of opening up both sides.

Therefore, Chen Yu's method was, on the one hand, he sent troops to harass the Wu army, and on the other hand, he strictly guarded against the Wei army north of the river.

So far, the only thing Chen Yu feels fortunate about is that the Wei people north of the river have not been able to cross the river.

As long as the Wei people are still stopped by the big river, then things may take a turn for the better, although the Wu people cut off the back road of the Chu army, but Chen Yu is sure to break another way.

But at present, the situation in Wangji of the Zhou family has fallen into a stage of tripartite confrontation.

The Wu people were weak in attack, the Wei army was helpless against the Great River, and the Chu general Chen Yu only wanted to keep the situation stable.
