(Dear book friends, go and see the top comments in the book review section!) There's more to it than that! )

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei, within the Wang Ji of the Zhou Dynasty, the armies of both sides were entrenched here.

A full sixty and 10,000 troops, in the north and south of Shangluo, the whole Shangluo is like a powder keg, only a small detonation, there will be a big explosion.

However, the alliance of princes did not dare to make any changes, and the Wei army was not fully prepared, so the two sides confronted each other for seven or eight days, and no major war broke out.

But after all these days, the preparations on the Wei army's side were already complete, so Wei Wuji decided to make a move.

So today, Wei Wuji issued a military order at Changping Pass, asking the army in charge of the right flank to take the initiative.

In fact, Wei Wuji also gave instructions for this attack, and the purpose was to be mainly tempting, rather than directly engaging in the big war.

For a military confrontation of this scale, Wei Wuji had no bottom in his heart, so the war had to be started slowly on a small scale, so that the situation could be brought into control.

Standing on the wall of Changping Pass, Wei Wuji asked Wang Xiu behind him, "There is already a fight ahead, right?"

Wang Xiu nodded, and then said: "Back to the monarch, the minister has already sent an order, presumably our army has already started a war with the Qin army at this time!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and then said, "The Qin army is only 50,000, so it's just right to move them first!"

But at this time, Wang Xiu, who was standing aside, asked: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand, why don't you attack the Qi State or the Wu State first?"

The battle had already begun, and Wei Wuji was idle, so he explained: "For one reason, the Qin State also belongs to the north, and if he is close to us, we will fight him!"

Speaking of this, as if he knew that it would be difficult to convince Wang Xiu, Wei Wuji continued: "From near to far, it's as simple as that!"

Wang Xiu couldn't help but speak, in fact, he didn't have any opinion on this, because there are pros and cons to beating anyone, so it doesn't matter if you choose any one.

It doesn't matter to the Wei army, but the attack of the Wei army is a big problem for Win, and the Wei army is so viable.

But it was impossible to withdraw the army, so he could only let his army go up while sending someone to inform Xiong Jun to send troops to help.

Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and Xiong Jun didn't have so many views at this time, so he immediately assigned an army to mobilize to contain the Wei army that was attacking.

This kind of war is mainly based on stability, so after the dispatch of the Chu army, the offensive of the Wei army has indeed weakened a lot.

And under Xiong Jun's constant urging, Sun Yueyang, the monarch of Wu State, also pushed forward with his army, making the whole situation even more tense.

At this time, if any place does not collapse, it may lead to a full-scale war, and the situation will develop in an uncontrollable direction.

In contrast, although the alliance of princes has a certain advantage in strength, because of the many orders, the actual combat effectiveness will be reduced.

At Changping Pass, Wei Wuji was also deeply impatient about the anxiety of the situation, he came to Wangji in the name of asking Ji Xiao, but now he couldn't even go to Los Angeles.

In other words, Wei Wuji also drove himself to a dead end.

If he can't drive away the enemy forces around Shangluo as soon as possible, he won't want to enter Shangluo in a short time, and asking the Son of Heaven will become a joke.

This would undoubtedly be a blow to his prestige, something Wei Wuji could never bear.

In the past, even if the war was scorching, Wei Wuji's mood would not fluctuate much, but in this kind of war that is related to the general trend of the world, it is difficult for him to maintain a normal heart.

But despite his impatience, Wei Wuji did not go crazy, he still warned all the generals of the whole army, let them focus on stability, and use the method of encroachment step by step to drive away the alliance of princes.

This is the safest method, but it is too slow to take effect, and sometimes it is difficult to have an effect.

When the time came to May 13, there was still no big progress in the battle ahead, and Wei Wuji was really angry.

He thought that the Wei army had great strength, but because he was afraid that he could not afford to lose, it became the current situation of being difficult step by step, which made Wei Wuji how could he stand it.

It just so happened that the 20,000 soldiers stationed in the Qi State were already in place, so Wei Wuji immediately ordered the army to attack the strongest Chu army from the front.

Wei Wuji has already made a decision, that is, to fight for consumption, and he also wants to pull out the thorn in the side of Chu State.

The nearly 200,000 troops of the Middle Route Army took action, and the pressure on the Chu army suddenly soared.

In the face of the Wei army's desperate fighting style, Xiong Jun had to order the army to temporarily retreat after insisting on resisting for seven or eight days.

It's not that the people of Chu are not brave, but that the Wei army is too strong, and these strong armies that have experienced the baptism of war over the years are much stronger than the Chu army in the south, which rarely fights.

Of course, in order to achieve such a result, the losses of the Wei side were also not small, and Wei Wuji exchanged his life for the retreat of a Chu army.

And once the Chu army, as the main force, retreated, the originally tight defense line of the princes' coalition army was naturally exposed.

As a result, the armies of Wu and Qin, as flanks, could only retreat together with the footsteps of the Chu army, so as to maintain the integrity of the defense line again.

The overall retreat of these people can expose Shangluo to the front of the Wei army, and Wei Wuji's goal seems to have a chance to be achieved.

Just when Wei Wuji was struggling with whether it was reasonable to exchange the lives of nearly 10,000 soldiers for the retreat of the princes' coalition army, Sun Yueyang, the monarch of Wu State, received a letter from Wei Wuji.

In the military tent, when Sun Yueyang finished reading Wei Wuji's letter, he gently put the letter on the table.

"Wei Wuji wants me to watch from the wall, and allows me to return a large area ......of Chu State to my Wu State after defeating the Chu army."

If Wu rebelled, it would not be difficult for Wei to defeat Chu, but the promises made to the Wei people were not believed by the generals present.

Therefore, when even a general stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the words of the Wei people cannot be trusted, if the Chu army is defeated, then the world will become the Wei State!"

Sun Yueyang didn't say a word, then looked at the other generals and said, "What do you think?"

How else can you look at this, all the generals present bowed and said: "Your Excellency, the promise of the Wei people is not credible!"

Sun Yueyang raised his hand to let everyone get up, and then said: "Of course, the widow knows that Wei Wuji and his people are insidious and cunning, if he really fulfills his promise, I'm afraid that my Wu Kingdom will not be far from destruction!"

"Generals, are the widows such short-sighted people?" Sun Yueyang asked rhetorically.

This is a bit heavy, and the generals present cannot afford to accuse, which is the duty of a courtier.

Since Sun Yueyang succeeded to the throne, he has made many major moves in the country, so he still has a deep prestige in the army.

In fact, after the case of Wei Wuji, the monarchs of all countries paid special attention to the construction of prestige in the army, and Sun Yueyang was the same.

After pacifying the ministers, a general on the ground asked: "Your Majesty, the people of Chu led the army to retreat, and Shangluo will be occupied by the Wei army, why don't our coalition forces defend Shangluo?"

In any case, Shangluo is also a strong city, and it is indeed a pity to give up like this.

These are all led by the people of Chu, and Sun Yueyang can only react according to the situation, so he can only speculate on the thoughts of the people of Chu.

"First, although the city of Shangluo is tall, the city is empty and tired, and it is difficult to support the army to hold ......"

"Second, most of our southern soldiers are foot soldiers, if we hold the city, the Wei army only needs a small number of cavalry to suppress our army and cannot leave the city......"

"Third, since Wei Wuji wants to enter Shangluo, I'm afraid that the people of Chu have long been looking forward to borrowing the hands of the Wei people to destroy the Zhou room!"

Sun Yueyang's three-point analysis was relatively tenable, so everyone present nodded approvingly.

However, Sun Yueyang's eyes were full of worry, and what he was worried about was not that Shangluo would be occupied by the Wei army, but that the current situation was grim.

In any case, the Chu army was defeated and retreated by the Wei army, so the battle between the princes and the coalition army had already lost.

Although it is not known who killed the deer in the end, it is not a difficult thing to let the Wei people take the lead.

"Go and tell Zhou Can, the commander of the Qi army, and let him lead the army to move closer to our army as soon as possible!" Sun Yueyang ordered.

Next to him, a general was puzzled: "Your Majesty, will the people of Qi cooperate with our army?"

Sun Yueyang smiled, and then said: "Yes, Zhou Can is a smart person, and he won't understand the truth that it is difficult to support alone!"

In this great wave, only by trying our best to strengthen ourselves can we preserve ourselves to the greatest extent.

This is the principle that Sun Yueyang has always pursued!
