The successive victories of the Jin Kingdom greatly stimulated the rest of the countries.

Since the Ruan State increased its troops and advanced, the Wei State and the Mang State also stepped up their actions and actively converged on the land of Wangji.

It seems that as long as the land of Wangji is broken, it will be regarded as the destruction of the Cangguo.

It is true that the location of Xincangcheng is not far from the land of Wangji, and it is also true that it is not far from Licheng, but if Licheng is really broken, Xincangcheng will be just around the corner, and Cangguo will be destroyed?

You must know that in the north of Xincangcheng, there is a Xuanwu Legion stationed.

And before that, letting the Jin army go all the way south, it was not that the Cangguo army could not be defeated, but that the Xuanwu Army deliberately released water to attract the troops of various countries.

After all, to fight a war, you must first pick a soft persimmon pinch, all countries know this truth, such as Ruan and Mang, if it is not for the Jin State to achieve such a result, so as to send troops, then it is very likely to choose to capture the land of Chu first.

Of course, this is intolerable to Cangguo.

Because, since Xiong Minne was poisoned and the remnants of the Chu State lost the greatest possibility of unity, the possibility of restoration has dropped to a very low level, even the so-called orthodoxy of the Chu State in exile in the Ruan State is just a clown or two, and it is not recognized by the Chu people.

In addition, in the past few months, Cangguo has increased its investment in Chudi, deliberately cultivating the consciousness of the people, beating landlords, dividing fields, and redressing grievances, each of which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then appointed officials in Chu to dispel the psychological defense of the people, so now even the local people of Chu have gradually accepted their identity and become the defenders of the Cangguo regime.

In time, Chu Land is an inseparable and extremely important part of the Cangguo.

Such a piece of fat will certainly not be let the countries compete for it before it is firmly grasped.

On the land, what Cangguo pursues has always been the way of first occupying it by itself, completely assimilating it, and then taking it out to fight.

This is a method of winning the hearts and minds of the people before fighting a war, which is fundamentally different from the method of suppression, exploitation and devouring pursued by various countries.

Therefore, Yang Mu consulted with several major ministers and decided to guide the armies of various countries to Cangguo first, reduce the pressure on the Blue Dragon Legion, and wait until the Yun Kingdom was destroyed and Chu Di was further digested before starting a full-scale war.

Another strategic intention is that after the Jin army moves south, the Xuanwu Army in the north can just cut off the Jin army's rear route.

In September, the armies of Nguyen and Wei were fooled and committed more troops to the land of Wangji.

At the same time, the army of Cang did not fortify on the frontier, allowing the military commander of the Jin State to drive straight in.

Gradually, Tang Mu, the general of the Jin army, found that something was wrong.

How...... Is your back road blocked?

It turned out that at the end of August, the Xuanwu Army began to advance and directly captured the pass on the border that originally belonged to Cangguo!

This is equivalent to the 300,000 Jin troops who entered the Cangguo Kingdom and entered a helpless situation.

Or, continue to push the clearland and prompt the Xuanwu Legion to come back to help.

Or, only to retreat.

There is another way, which is to ask Wei and Ruan for help and share grain and grass supplies, but in this way, in the next war, the 300,000 Jin troops can only obey the orders of Ruan and Wei.

The captured cities, the Jin State can share is also extremely limited.

Tang Mu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to choose the latter.

After all, this is the least risky one.

There is hardly any doubt, having learned the lessons of the Battle of the Jin Dynasty more than ten years ago, the Ruan State and the Wei State will definitely consider it from the perspective of the entire alliance and agree to take them in.

So, in mid-September, the Jin army and the Wei army met.

These two countries, which experienced a life-and-death war more than ten years ago, have now become allies, and the troops under their command have also become allies.

For Wei, the Jin state was different from the Ruan state.

Although, in that battle against Wei, Ruan also participated and occupied a large area of Wei land, but in the final analysis, Ruan Guo was just a little brother who responded to the call, and the culprit was still Jin.

Although it is said that after the battle of the Jin Dynasty, the Wei State has recaptured the lost territory from the hands of the Jin State, but the national strength has been greatly damaged, and the strength is no longer an indisputable fact.

Twenty years ago, the Jin Kingdom, the Wei State, and the Chu State were the three strongest countries in the world.

Today, twenty years later, the Jin state is in decline, the Wei state is in decline, and the Chu state has perished, replaced by a powerful Cang state, leading the rest of the states against the Ruan state of Cang.

The change of pattern began with the Jincheng Alliance, and the Jin State raised troops to attack the Wei State.

Therefore, the Wei people could let go of their hatred of the Ruan State, but they were always hostile to the Jin State.

For example, when Tang Mu led the Chinese army to join the Wei army, he was sneered at by the Wei army's soldiers.

For example, the command of the attack on Licheng was directly deprived by the Wei army.

Although Tang Mu had no choice, he could only admit it.

Eventually, the Wei and Jin armies met together.

Gongsun Zhi, the general of the Wei army, commanded his troops and stormed Licheng for two days.

Due to underestimating the defensive capability of Licheng, although a phased victory had been achieved that day, and many soldiers climbed the city wall, considering that it was already late, Gongsun Zhi still decided to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

After returning to the camp, he sent someone to invite Tang Mu, the chief general of the Jin army, to the commander's tent.

Tang Mu, in terms of the ability to lead troops, can be said to be not up or down, but he is the father-in-law of the emperor of the Jin State, so he has been mixed well in the army of the Jin State over the years, and he is quite valued by the emperor of the Jin State.

A moment later, Tang Mu came alone and met Gongsun Zhi in the handsome account.

"Tang Mu has seen General Gongsun."

"General Tang Mu."

After greeting each other, Gongsun Zhi invited Tang Mu to sit down in the tent, and said with a slight sigh: "I knew that Licheng was not easy to attack, but I never thought that it would be so tricky, and the strength of Cangguo's defense of the city is also worthy of its reputation...... Today's war, General Tang Mu must have seen it, I don't know what is the best way to break the city? ”

Tang Mu smiled and said: "Licheng was originally the capital of the Son of Heaven and Wangji, and the city defense is naturally solid, and it has been transformed by the Cang army, which is no longer comparable to ordinary passes, and for a while, the general can't think of any plan to break the city." ”

What he said was also true, Tang Mu was not a military wizard, the use of troops can be said to be decent, from the beginning of leading the Jin army to the south, the reason why he was able to drive straight into the country was the reason why the Cangguo did not seriously resist, not the extraordinary combat ability of the Jin army, let alone his ability to lead the troops.

If he had already had a plan to break the city, he would not have waited until now to break through, so that he would not be able to draw troops back to the rear pass and come to this step of forming an alliance with the Wei army.
