Didn't stay long. Lin Feng, Hou Mingfeng, and Ju Wentai led the army, escorted the prisoners, and embarked on the return journey back to Yan Kingdom.

The battle of Yan and Song Dynasty changed the situation in the north and caused turmoil in the southern vassal states.

With this, the southern princes, in the division of the Yan State in the territory of the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Chu, Yue Jun, Wu Jun, the lord of the army, ambitions gradually sprouted.

Before, the Yan army inflicted heavy losses on the armies of the southern princes, and now, most of the Yan kingdom in the territory of Jiangnan has fallen into the hands of the southern princes.

The momentum of the army gradually increased, and the battle was brave and fierce, forcing Yang Yue, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the general Xing Yike, to lead more than 100,000 troops to shrink to four cities along the river.

Refusing to defend the city, neither dare to take the initiative to attack, but also can not take a boat to cross the river to the north, as if being forced to a desperate beast by a hound, life and death are unpredictable.

In addition, the situation in the north gradually changed in favor of the southern princes, and Emperor Chu and others all aspired to lead the northern expedition and cut a piece of meat on the Yan State.

Wu State, Imperial City, Gusu.

Located on the shore of the Blue Lake, the mountain is near the lower reaches of the river, and it is a famous military, economic and cultural ancient city in the south.

The city is surrounded by a wide moat on all sides, as if building a lake attic, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

More than 500 years ago, when the vassal states were in turmoil, Xiong Ren, the prince of Chu State, and Xiong Yang established a city-state with Gusu as the core.

According to rumors, the historical records record that Chu Jun had three sons, the eldest son Xiong Ren, the second son Xiong Yang, and the youngest son Xiong Shang. Xiong Yue, the son of Xiong Shang, was gifted and intelligent, and was deeply favored by Chu Jun.

When Chu Jun was old, he wanted to pass on Xiong Yue, but since ancient times, the throne has been passed on to the elder but not to the young, and the heir has not been passed on. However, Chu Jun finally had the courage to overcome public opinion and pass on his grandson Xiong Yue.

Xiong Ren, Xiong Yang, was extremely dissatisfied with his father's actions, united their respective strengths, and when Chu Jun died, they immediately rebelled, but unfortunately, the rebellion failed.

Xiong Ren, Xiong Yang, led the troops to flee to the desolate land in the northeast of the Chu State, garrisoned Gusu, changed his name and surname, created his own foundation, and established the State of Wu.

Xiong Ren died, had no heirs, passed on to Xiong Yang, and his son Xiong succeeded to the throne.

Three generations of succession, Xiong Mo, the son of Xiong Yang, continued to conquer the east and west, annexed the surrounding states, and expanded the territory of Wu.

After a hundred years of chaotic war, the state of Wu was in the camp step by step, and faced the death of the country several times, but he survived and finally occupied a place in the south.

To this day, countless city-state princes in the south have disappeared in the war, and the state of Wu is still an important force in the south.

It is precisely because of the contradictions of the ancestors that Wu has always had a very deep prejudice against the Chu State, but over the years, the Chu State has had many bad fortunes, but it is still the most powerful vassal state in the south.

This time, in order to discuss the Northern Expedition, Emperor Chu sent letters to Han Yanxi, the emperor of Shu, Liu Wumu, and Ji Tianming, the commander of the army, inviting everyone to go to Gusu of Wu State to discuss the division of Cai State.

The southern melee, the vassal states occupied the Cai State, the territory was staggered, the territory was separated, and it was very easy to cause contradictions.

In addition, it was discussed to take advantage of the Yan and Song Wars, and the Yan army gathered in Kaifeng to send troops to the Northern Expedition to conquer the Yan State.

Emperor Chu succeeded to the throne and had great ambitions and the intention to annex the southern vassal states, conquer the north, and dominate the world.

When the northern overlord Zhao was divided, Xiong Wu thought that the north would fall into war if it lost the shackles of Zhao, and when the power of the vassal states was sharply reduced, it was a good time for Chu to move north.

It's a pity that the strong rise of the Yan State completely broke the dream of Xiong Wu, however, Xiong Wu's heart to dominate the world is not dead, and he has always had great ambitions for Jiangbei and the territory of Yan and Song.

Like a vicious wolf, when encountering danger or threat, he often chooses to hibernate, and if the time is ripe, whenever there is a possibility of inflicting heavy damage on the opponent, he will not hesitate to wave his claws, pounce on the prey, and tear it into powder.

Nowadays, Wu Yue Chu Shu soldiers Quartet forces, gradually carved up the territory of Yan in the south of the Yangtze River, Shu and Mo family united, conquest of Yan State, although Zhang Yu led the troops to fight hard, but the Shu army in the north of the Yangtze River wantonly expanded the territory, there is a great threat to the Yan imperial city Yanjing possibly.

Therefore, Emperor Chu had a desire to fish in troubled waters, and during the fierce battle of Yan and Song, he quickly sent troops to the north. With the advantage of the coalition forces, the lightning was quick to swallow the empty land of defense in the south of the Yan Kingdom.

Gusu City, in the palace of Wu State, the host Wu Jun Zhao Yanyu, the southern overlord Xiong Wu, the Shu Emperor Liu Wumu, the Yue Jun Han Yanxi, and the soldier master Ji Tianfang, gathered in Gusu.

In the past few days, Yue Jun has held banquets in the palace many times to entertain Chu Emperor Xiong Wu, Shu Emperor Liu Wumu, Yue Army Han Yanxi, and the soldier master Ji Tianfang.

Take the opportunity to discuss, negotiate, and jointly send troops, without eyebrows.

However, the five of them reached an agreement, and the five parties sent troops together, crossed the river to the north respectively, and conquered the Yan State according to their own strength, and the territory obtained by virtue of their strength.

In this way, it is difficult to shake the Yan army during the war. In addition, the strength of all parties to fight also promotes the enthusiasm of both sides.

After the banquet, the maid removed the plate. Serve the pastries, arrange them neatly, and exit the palace.

At this time, Han Yanxi, the ruler of Yue, turned around, swept everyone with cold eyes, and said impatiently: "Emperor Chu, Wu Jun, the master of the army, we have discussed sending troops to the Northern Expedition and carving up the Yan Kingdom for many days, Han felt that instead of wasting his tongue and delaying time, it was better to go out quickly, so as not to let the Shu army go deep and occupy the southwest of the Yan Kingdom, in addition, the battle of the Yan and Song Dynasty fell into a state of stalemate, and the Yan army gathered in Kaifeng.

Han Yanxi tasted the sweetness in the division of the Jiangnan territory of Yan State, the national strength of the Yue Kingdom has recovered, and the hidden ambition in his heart is also like a leaf in spring, full of vitality and gradually expanding.

However, the Chu Emperor Xiong Wu, the soldier master Ji was silent, Lin Tianzhao led the Xuanjia soldiers, and the righteous army was in Kaifeng City, if according to the plan, Lin Tianzhao used his troops to control Kaifeng City and send troops to the Northern Expedition, Chu and the soldiers would easily occupy a large area in the eastern part of the Song State.

Wu Jun Zhao Yanyu secretly stared at Emperor Chu, the master of the soldiers, and noticed that the two of them were cunning, although they did not guess what conspiracy Xiong Wu and Ji Tianming had, but they were secretly vigilant.

Only the named Emperor of Shu, listening to Yue Jun's words, was afraid that the Shu army would occupy the southwest of Yan State, and he couldn't help but look cold and extremely displeased, and said sharply: "Yue Jun, what do you mean, the soldiers of Shu fought bloody battles in Yan State, even if they occupied some city-states in Yan State, they were also exchanged for their lives. If the Yue monarch is not convinced, the Yue country can also send troops to fight."

After days of discussion, the two sides quarreled endlessly, and put aside many disputes, just to conquer the Yan Kingdom.

"Brother Liu, don't be angry, Han's words are inappropriate, and he never has the idea of belittling the Shu Kingdom, Brother Liu must not take it to heart." Yue Jun glanced at Emperor Shu, who was chubby and in excellent spirits, and hurriedly apologized.

Emperor Shu snorted lightly, and his face was still angry.

At this time, the host Wu Jun said unceremoniously: "Emperor Chu, the master of the soldiers, what do you think of Yue Jun's suggestion?"

I thought that Yue Jun's suggestion was in line with the interests of all parties, and the only way to do this was to send troops quickly and conquer the Yan Kingdom, and everyone should work together without any careful thinking, and they would definitely win a big victory.

Otherwise, if we leave enough time for the Yan army, so that the Yan army can easily capture Kaifeng and capture the monarchs and ministers of the Song State, we will definitely face the Yan army's front, at that time, the Yan army will go all out, the Yan army will not be contained, and among us, there will be countries annexed by the Yan army."

Wu Jun's words were cold, and even a little unkind, but every word was beautiful, which was in line with the situation of the vassal states.

Hearing the sound, Emperor Xiong Wu of Chu and the soldier master Ji Tianming glanced at each other, and noticed that the eyes of the monarchs were focused on the two of them, and Emperor Chu said with a smile: "Wu Jun, Emperor Shu, Yue Jun, Ming people don't say dark words, Xiong and the soldier master are reluctant to send troops to the north to attack Yan State, all because Lin Tianzhao led the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army to Kaifeng, and the Ming face is to assist the Song State and jointly resist the Yan army.

In fact, looking for an opportunity to control Kaifeng City, no matter how bad it is, it will also be in Kaifeng City, severely damage the Song army, and take revenge.

Therefore, you might as well wait patiently for a few days, and when the good news comes from Kaifeng City, we will immediately lead the troops to the battle, and we will quickly enter the north."

"That's right, wait a minute." Ji Tian's destiny is also the way.

However, hearing this, Wu Jun's face was cold, he got up and glared at Xiong Wu, Ji Tianfang, and reprimanded angrily: "Emperor Chu, the master of the soldiers, I have been negotiating in Gusu City for a few days, the state of Chu, the soldiers have pushed back many times, no wonder they have not agreed to send troops to the Northern Expedition. What's more, everyone consulted just to seek fairness and prevent the recurrence of the mistakes of the past, unexpectedly, the Chu State and the soldiers did this, isn't this a deliberate violation of the covenant?"

"That's right, Emperor Chu, Wu Yue and Chu have been in alliance many times, Emperor Chu, you often have other calculations, resulting in the breakdown of the alliance, Wu Yue paid a heavy price for this, what is Emperor Chu doing this, what about the trust between people?" Yue Jun also angrily reprimanded Emperor Chu, and immediately, he turned to look at Ji Wuming and said: "Soldier master, the four sides of the military family are the weakest, but they are calculating Wu and Yue, isn't the soldier master afraid that Wu and Yue will raise troops to fight against the soldiers?"

Wu Yue Chu and the soldiers formed a quadripartite force, and in their words, they repeatedly emphasized that they worked together to prevent mutual suspicion and unnecessary trouble, however, the Chu Emperor and the soldier master secretly conspired again, touching Yue Jun, and Wu Jun rebelled, which made the two very worried about cooperating with Chu and the soldiers, and once again encountered the calculations of both sides.

"Since Emperor Chu and the master of the soldiers have other plans, everyone is different and does not conspire with each other, these days, Liu Mouquan should be in Gusu to play in the mountains and rivers, Shu State to conquer Yan State, the country can not be without a monarch for a day, Liu Mou will leave for the time being." Shu Emperor Liu Wumu's words and deeds were more rude and simple, and he stopped uniting with the Quartet if he didn't agree with him.

Chu, Wu, Shu, and soldiers can discuss with each other to attack Yan, but they can waste a lot of effort, and even consume national strength on the battlefield, but Shu can't.

Shu is alone in the west of the Sword Pavilion, if it is killed by the Yan army into the south of the Yangtze River, Shu will not have any reinforcements, so it is easy not to.

"Brother Liu, wait!" Seeing Liu Wumu's neat words and deeds, Emperor Chu hurriedly got up, hurriedly blocked, turned around and swept through the hall, and said coldly: "Wu Jun, Yue Jun, Xiong Daoming Lin Tianzhao's situation, Daoming Chu State, the intention of the soldiers is to be open and honest, full of sincerity.

In order to destroy the Yan Kingdom and eliminate the sharp arrows hanging over our heads, we should work together, shouldn't we?"
