Chu State, Yingcheng!

The south of the Yangtze River, the most prosperous and magnificent city.

Because it is located in the south, it has been spared from war for hundreds of years, and the city has been eroded by the years, like a dying old man, many places have been barren for a long time, and the turquoise vines climb up like a green snake.

In those years, when the city wall was built, the hard rock produced by the land of Chu was used, and there were many fine cracks under the erosion of rain and green grass.

At this moment, thousands of laborers are mining boulders from afar and transporting hundreds of craftsmen from under the city walls, inside and outside the city, to survey the city and prepare for the renovation.

The war in the north is becoming more and more intense, more and more dangerous, and the smell of war can be clearly smelled in the Chu State, and the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, feeling the slightest tension.

A few days ago, Xiong Kui led the remnants of the army, and the ferry returned in embarrassment along the coast, which made the tense atmosphere in Yingcheng even worse.

The people talked about the battle of Yanchu and the battle in the north.

Xiong Wu personally worships the Queen of Heaven in the Taimiao. Many people also prayed to the heavens, hoping that during the battle of Yan and Chu, the Chu army would block the edge of the Yan army and stand invincible.

At the same time, the officials in the city ran to each other, swimming fish back to the back, shuttling between the government office and the palace.

If there is any disturbance in the north, you can go to the palace and report to Xiong Wu.

At this moment, Xiong Wu and Xiong Kui brothers sat cross-legged and stayed in the imperial study, constantly sending news back from the north, and each other felt the danger of danger.

Xiong Kui led his troops to the north to resist the Yan army, and was pinned on high hopes by Xiong Wu, but unexpectedly, the Chu army and Wu Yue were defeated first, and Xiong Kui fled back like a lost dog.

When he was young, Xiong Kui put the teacup on the bookcase, looked up at Xiong Wu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and asked with his fists: "Your Majesty, if Emperor Yan leads his troops to end the war in the north, or he will go south or east, and he has the right to choose independently, and the state of Chu is forced to fight, what should we do?"

Xiong Wu's heart is in turmoil, and there is no good strategy, looking at the offensive of the Yan army, ordinary elite soldiers in the north and south cannot stop the Yan army's edge at all.

"You led your troops north to fight fiercely with the Yan army twice, although you ended up in a fiasco, you have rich combat experience, and you know the strength of the Yan army best!" Xiong Wu looked directly at him, and then pushed the problem to Xiong Kui.

Hearing the sound, Xiong Kui fell into deep thought, thinking about the best way to resist the enemy, and when he was silent for a while, he raised his head sharply, and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, the Yan cavalry is strong, and the Xuanjia soldiers are difficult to stop the cavalry edge, and the previous battles have proved it.

The Yan army is also equipped with a mechanical army and a flying army, all of which are not idle people, the ordinary elites of the vassal states are difficult to resist, and the younger brother proposes to expand the number of elephant soldiers at all costs, if the Chu State has 100,000 male soldiers and a thousand giant elephants, and the battlefield meets the Yan army, it will definitely hit the Yan army hard, which is the only way for the Chu State to resolve the edge of the Yan army!"

In the vicinity of Xiyue City, he fought with the Yan army several times, and with hundreds of giant elephants and elephant soldiers alone, he contained more than 100,000 elite cavalry of the Yan army.

In the battle of Xiyue City, the elite of the Xuanjia soldiers suffered countless casualties, but he was under the protection of the male soldiers, and he escaped from death by luck in the pursuit of the Yan Army's sword blade male soldiers.

Fighting against the Yan army twice, it has proved that the elephant soldiers can attack and retreat, and they are extremely powerful in both attack and defense.

Xiong Kui believes that if there are 100,000 male soldiers in the Chu State, it will definitely contain the hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry of the Yan army, and if the male soldiers are arranged in the northern steel defense line, what if the million Yan troops go south, they will not want to break into the Chu State.

"Is there a better way to get rid of the elephant soldiers?" Xiong Wu pondered and asked.

It is imperative for the State of Chu to strengthen the training of elephant soldiers.

However, pinning the national fortune of the Chu State on 100,000 elephant soldiers is a risk!

Relying on elephant soldiers alone, if you win the battlefield battle, it is fine, but if you lose consecutive battles, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to the Chu State.

As the lord of the Chu State, Xiong Wu believed that in order for the Chu State to be invincible in the conquest, it was necessary to have two preparations. Even more prepared.

"The emperor's younger brother proposed, can you spend a huge price to steal the equipment of the Yan State Flying Army and the Mechanical Army, get the equipment of the Yan Army, and the Chu State will spend money and food to build it, and it will be a tooth for a tooth.

Moreover, with the elephant soldiers, there will be unprecedented combat power, the Chu army will become a victory weapon in all battles, we will not only stick to the country, but also take the initiative to find fighters to attack the Yan army, to resolve the urgent need!" Xiong Kui said his own proposal.

However, he also knew that it was difficult to obtain equipment from the Yan Kingdom, and besides, the craftsmen of the Chu State might not have made giant battle weapons.

Picking up the teacup to moisten his throat, he continued: "There are many rivers and lakes in the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Yue and Chu, and the younger brother suggested that giant warships and small warships be built quickly, and when Emperor Yan led his troops south, we used warships to have the ability to form defenses along the big rivers and delay the pace of the Yan army's conquest."

Hearing this, Xiong Wulong's face swept a touch of bitterness, at the beginning, how powerful the Chu State was, he raised his arms and shouted, and the southern princes did not dare to disobey.

It is difficult for the vassal states in the south to shake, and every time they fight, they will win the battle and conquer it.

Who would have thought that the rise of the Yan State and the fall of the Chu State into a crisis, which needed to be passively defended, with the help of mountains and rivers, delayed the pace of the Yan army.

However, it was not easy to stop the Yan army, Xiong Wu didn't dare to expect too much, and couldn't help but say softly: "This matter still needs to rely on you!"

Xiong Kui received the order and said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother proposes to treat the Duan family well, even if it is pretend, otherwise, according to the special relationship between the Duan family and Emperor Yan, the Duan family will inevitably rebel!"

"If the Duan family dares to rebel, I will eradicate the Duan family!" Xiong Wu's words were furious, he knew what kind of threat the family would bring, so he would rather take iron-blooded measures than give the Duan family a chance to hurt the royal family.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Kui said: "Your Majesty, even if the Duan family is the gate valve, it is also a gate valve, there is no need for the emperor to be a mere gate valve and ruin the future of the Chu State, they are not worthy!" Xiong Kui said sharply. It is not at all like ordinary people to respect the gate valve.

Defeat on the front line does not mean that he does not have his own ideas and vision, looking at the vassal states of the north and south, especially the countries supported by the family, when the army of the Yan State arrives, if the family returns to the Yan State, the end of the country will often be very bad.

The lessons of the past of Shu are vivid, and the enemy must not be careless.

Hearing this, Xiong Wu bowed his head and said, "Well, I will change my attitude towards the Duan family!"

The Duan family is the head of the gate lords, and its influence far exceeds that of other families, if the Duan family defects when the Yan army attacks, even if the Chu country has a strong army, it will also be greatly impacted!

As soon as each other's words fell, a guard walked into the imperial study from the outside, saluted Xiong Wu and Xiong Kui: "Your Majesty, there is a messenger who has returned from the north!"

Hearing this, Xiong Wu was faintly uneasy, and said: "What's the matter, the Yan army broke into the Chu State, or General Dai led the troops and soldiers to defeat the Yan army!"

"News from the soldiers!" The guards said.

Xiong Wu didn't say much, and ordered the guards to walk in with messengers.

The guards left in a hurry, and when they were young, they came in with a messenger.

The messenger in front of him, his expression was pale, he was dressed in a rough manner, Xiong Wu, Xiong Kui looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, Xiong Wu couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What happened to make you so anxious!"

"The Emperor... Your Majesty, Ji Tianming rebelled, the Yan army and the soldiers attacked Wu Yue and Chu in the north and south almost in the same time, and at present, Yuejiang City was lost, Wu Yue suffered serious losses, and General Dai led the troops in the south and was also hit hard by Feng Shihu and Wang Wu'an, and he was leading the troops to flee to the border fortress!" The messenger reports the battle on the front to Xiong Wu.

Knowing the situation on the front line, Xiong Wu intuitively felt that his eyes were full of gold stars, and his health was very bad early, and Xiong Kui's face was pale and surprised.

Ji Tianfang?

Ji Tianming suddenly led his troops to defect to the Yan army at the most dangerous moment when Wu Yue Chu Zhou was fighting with the Yan army, and it was even more hateful to cooperate with the Yan army to strike hard at the three armies of Wu Yue and Chu.

This time, Wu Yuechu's defense in the south was exposed, and all fell under the nose of the Yan army, if the opponent's millions of male soldiers, the soldiers were divided into two ways to take the opportunity to pursue, it would bring the danger of annihilation to Wu Yuechu and the two countries.

In shock, Xiong Kui hurriedly asked the messenger: "Where are the generals such as Feng Shihu, Zhao Hongru, and Wang Wu'an, leading the troops, and are they approaching the border fortress defense of the Chu State?"

"Lord Wang, the villain is not clear for the time being!" The Messenger said.

"Damn!" Xiong Kui said angrily.

At this time, Xiong Wu stepped forward, walked down the jade steps, and said with a calm face: "Xiong Kui, although the battle is very serious, but before the Dao Mountains and rivers are exhausted, there are Han Xiangzi leading troops to defend on the northern border, Feng Shihu, Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun, Feng Yi, Wang Wuan and other Yan generals and other generals of the Yan State are coming, don't think of driving straight into the Chu State!"

Xiong Wu is still very satisfied and confident with the thousand-mile defense line he built on the border, and he specially restrains the cavalry, otherwise, the money, food, manpower and material resources spent by the Chu State will not be wasted.

Xiong Kui followed Xiong Wu's side, a little worried: "Your Majesty, we should consider, the Yan army is the first to attack the Chu State, or the first to attack Wu Yue, if the Yan army is the first to attack the Chu State, we have no chance to prepare at all, we must be forced to fight, if the Yan State takes the lead in attacking Wu Yue, we still have a chance to breathe, spend time to prepare, maybe we still have a chance.

The younger brother believes that no matter which side the Yan army takes the lead in attacking, at present, it is very likely that the Yan army will rest and build warships, otherwise, it will be difficult for the Yan army to cross the mountains and rivers in the south."

"You're right, the current choice is in the hands of Yan Guo, however, don't forget, Yan Guo captured the Song State Seiko craftsman, Yan Emperor has a cunning personality, and when he leads his troops to fight in the south, he must order officials to build warships in the imperial court, so that he will not waste any extra time." Xiong Wulang said.

After a moment of silence, he said to the guard: "Send a messenger to the north along the Lorraine River, arrive at the front line, and appoint Han Xiangzi as the commander of the five northern counties, command all the troops of the five counties, and block the edge of the Yan army with the border defense line."

"Yes!" The guard bowed, didn't dare to hesitate, and left in a hurry!

Xiong Wu turned to stare at Xiong Kui and said, "Sixth brother, personally select good generals in the army, fortify the rivers and lakes leading to Chu State in Wuyue Zhou, and strive to block the Yan army's water division!"

"Yes!" Xiong Kui said!

didn't leave in a hurry, but looked weird, staring at Xiong Wudao: "Your Majesty, my brother has something I don't know whether to say or not?"

"Something to say!" Xiong Wudao.

Xiong Kui did not hesitate, a little worried: "Brother Chen's suggestion, stop imprisoning the eldest brother, the fourth brother, the eighth brother, and the seventh uncle, the seventh uncle and the fourth brother are all good at leading troops, the generals who followed them at the beginning, after the emperor seized the throne, all of them unloaded their armor and returned to the field, the eldest brother and the eighth brother have a prestige in the Chu State, and can share problems for the emperor."
