Text Chapter 3 Beacon Fire

"General Wang, do you really want to cede Shangdang County to Western Qin, that is the foundation of Great Chu, that is, in the future, you will need good land where you are located, and the ancestors of Great Chu originated in the land of Hexi, will this increase the voice of opposition."

The person who spoke was none other than Jingyu's first strategist, Suzhou.

After listening to him, Jing Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a thin body and thin cheekbones, then turned his back to him and said: "I naturally know the importance of the land of Hexi, Xiqin actually asked for Shangdang County without his own strength, although I am against it, but the reality is in front of me, and I can't help myself." ”

Suzhou nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly a poisonous plan came to his mind.

"General Wang, in fact, it is good for Shangdang County to be ceded to Western Qin." The corners of Suzhou's mouth curled slightly, and he said naturally.

"Huh?" Jing Yu turned to look at the strategist he trusted the most, his brows furrowed, thinking that this guy wouldn't be crazy.

Suzhou looked at Jingyu and knew that he also felt incredible, but it was his trademark smile floating on his face again.

"We can write a secret letter to Northern Zhao, saying that we are going to deal with Southern Chu, so we raise troops to guard, now Shangdang is empty, Western Qin has forced us to cede Shangdang County, but Western Qin is from a dog, and the land west of the river is very important, so we would rather give it to Zhongzhou Friends than ceded it to Western Qin barbarians! As long as Beizhao raises troops to enter Shangdang first, Shangdang County is his Beizhao's! ”

After speaking, he looked at Jing Yu with a whole face: "General King, Shangdang County can't be defended by separation no matter what, so I simply let them fight, so that the two annoying guys won't come to disturb us to unify Dachu, as long as we unify Dachu, we can take back Shangdang County at any time with our hands free, and Qin and Zhao will definitely fight for Shangdang, maybe it's still a lose-lose, at that time, except for Dongqi who is far away in the sky, Qin and Zhao, two small countries with only half a life left, are in front of the unified Great Chu State, Isn't it just a toy for us to play with? ”

Poison, really poisonous.

Jing Yu looked at the most trusted strategist in front of him, and saw that his pale face was glowing red, as long as this plan was completed, he would be able to become famous all over the world in Suzhou, and there would be a record of history.

"Then everything is left to you, and you will definitely remain in the history of Zhongzhou."

"Obey."

After speaking, he withdrew from the hall, Jing Yu looked at the back of him leaving, his face was gloomy, he was famous in history, but the hundreds of thousands of living beings in Shangdang County will say what they look like after being sacked by the two big countries, you don't have to think about it, and the old ministers of Dachu will not let go of themselves, what do those old decays do, what do they eat, but the influence is too great, just scold yourself for a sentence or two, and in the future, your reputation will be completely thrown into the garbage heap of history, this is to put me on the fire to roast. But so far, only his method is the best, and he can only endure it first, and then deal with him after everything settles.

At this time, a neat military camp thirty miles away from the outskirts of the abandoned city of the Great Chu Kingdom was lined up here, and it was not bad that this was the military camp of Western Qin.

In the middle of the military tent in the barracks sat a general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the beard on his face made him look more murderous. He was the leader of the Western Qin Eastern Expeditionary Army, the general Yingwu. At this time, it was the first eastward crusade since the Western Qin was defeated by the Eastern Three Kingdoms led by Emperor Mingguang thirty years ago, and he was also the rising star of the Western Qin.

Before the expedition, the monarch of Western Qin had recently told him that this was a "tourist" expedition, and that Great Chu was divided and could not stop them, and according to the news that came, Great Chu had agreed to cede Shangdang County, and if it went well, he only needed to send a small army to receive it, and this time it should be to let him have a long insight and see what these strong armies in Zhongzhou were like.

But such a simple task is a waste of his talent for Yingwu, so he has been looking for an opportunity to show his talents.

"Isn't it over if you hit Chu directly, why are you doing all these false tricks?" That's what he's said the most in the past few days.

After receiving the news that the state of Chu ceded Shangdang County, he sent his deputy general to lead 5,000 troops to take over Shangdang County, and he, the general who led the troops, could only drink tea and eat meat in the barracks, and lived every day boringly.

But he didn't know that the opportunity he was waiting for had been created by Suzhou and Jingyu, and if he knew the truth, he didn't know whether he should thank them or scold their ancestors for eighteen generations.

And Bei Zhao's actions are faster, after receiving Jing Yu's secret letter, the ministers feel that this matter is impossible, and in case of a fight between Shangdang County and Xiqin, no one knows what the result is, as long as the Son of Heaven is in hand, Bei Zhao is in a situation of steady winning, and he can't make it to wade into troubled waters at all.

But Zhao Zheng, the monarch of Northern Zhao, didn't think so.

Shangdang borders on the north of the Zhao River, belongs to the rich area, if you take the Shangdang County, the land west of the river will be at your fingertips, this risk must be taken, besides, the Chu army has retreated, only three or four thousand people are waiting for the Qin army to come to accept, and the Zhao army has been stationed in Hebei 200,000, as long as three days can be taken.

Besides, can't the soldiers left behind by King Zhaowu of Great Zhao still fight and go to the Western Qin barbarians?

Therefore, with great confidence, King Zhao ordered the Zhao army stationed in Hebei to enter Shangdang overnight, and recalled General Zhao Meng, who was negotiating in Southern Chu, to Shangdang County, preparing to take this piece of fat directly from Western Qin's mouth.

There are two tables of guests on one table, and a big war is inevitable.

Only Suzhou was smiling at the wonderful plan he had arranged, as a strategist, he had no military power, and he could actually play with the two big countries in applause, and the general trend of the world changed accordingly, and his heart was deeply satisfied with this plan.

But he didn't see the murderous aura in Jingyu's eyes.

"Playing with fire will set you on fire!"

These were the words of Jing Yu after watching him walk out of the main hall, but unfortunately he didn't hear it.

Three days later, the Northern Zhao army entered the Shangdang County of Great Chu, and the 5,000 men of Western Qin were still far away on the road and did not receive a single message, and they also thought that this was a simple task that could not be simpler.

Five days later, Zhao Meng, the general of Northern Zhao, entered Shangdang County and personally commanded the Zhao army, although he was also in a state of ignorance, and he didn't expect King Zhao to have such a hand, but his years of military career told him that things would not be too simple, at least Western Qin would not let go of Northern Zhao.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Shangdang County, he immediately repaired the book King Zhao.

"The king clearly sees that the current situation of my Dazhao is already in an invincible position, and now occupying Shangdang County without authorization will inevitably increase trouble, please think twice, quit Shangdang, and garrison the land north of Dazhao."

Zhao Meng was also not optimistic about King Zhao's slightly impetuous actions this time, but he also knew that this king had not learned King Zhaowu's ability to rule the country, but he had learned King Zhaowu's arrogant temperament to the fullest, and he would definitely not retreat.

"If the king insists on this, please send all the 150,000 soldiers from Hebei and the 150,000 soldiers from the royal capital to Shangdang County in case of emergency."

Finally, he added this sentence to the letter.

And three days later, when Kuaima delivered the letter to King Zhao, he just smiled, this Zhao Meng, too careful, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

"The soldiers of the royal capital are not allowed, the soldiers of Hebei are 100,000, led by Jun, and the special title of Jun is the marshal of my Great Zhao Capital, and the troops are stationed in the party."

At the same time as his letter was sent, he also repaired the book to Li Mu, the general of the garrison in Hebei, Li Mu, a veteran general, followed King Zhaowu to fight in the south and the north, and defeated the northern barbarians many times, he knew the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately led 100,000 troops to Shangdang County.

"The king is crazy!" As soon as Li Mu saw Zhao Meng's letter, he stayed in the chair, and Da Zhao was alive and dead.

After ten days of marching, the 5,000 men and horses of Western Qin encountered an ambush in the "Cutting Valley" thirty miles away from Shangdang County, and the "Cutting Valley", as the name suggests, was that there were generals who were ambushed in the past and died in battle, and now the same thing is happening again. The generals of the Western Qin Dynasty were killed in battle, and only about a hundred people escaped, and the enemy banner they saw had a big "Zhao" written on it.

And the other person above the valley looked coldly at the Qin army who was ambushed below, he was Jing Nuo, the general of Northern Chu, and all this he did was arranged by Jing Yu.

"I don't know what Yingwu's big fool will react after knowing that it was Northern Zhao who ambushed the Western Qin army."

Jing Nuo muttered to himself.

"Retreat back to the country, there are still big dishes waiting for us."

After Jing Nuo gave the order, he strode forward, stepped on his war horse, and went straight to Beichu.

He knew that his task was completed, and then the performances of Xiqin and Beizhao began.
