Chapter 55: Meet the King of Chu

Big win, big win like never before!

A thousand short swordsmen attacked the five thousand Chu army with chariots and a complete array head-on, and directly defeated it! Not only did Dai Yan not think of it, but even the giant who commanded this war couldn't have imagined that this battle could be won so simply!

Yang Lingjun was caught, and the battlefield quickly calmed down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Then the giant Tian Jiu also led the remaining soldiers to quickly follow and accept the surrender of the Chu army.

Although this battle is a long story, the actual battle lasted only about a quarter of an hour, which is also the usual thing in war. From the beginning to the end of a war, there is often a large-scale mobilization between countries, and this process lasts for a long time, and when the two sides actually start fighting, it will not last long. The battle of Chengpu, which decided the hegemony of the Jin State in history, ended in less than half a day. The so-called one day determines the hegemony of a country, which is such a war.

And when the war between Dai Yan and Yang Lingjun broke out, both sides were actually already in a state of mobilization. And the scope of this war is fought in the small environment of Fengyi, when the armies of both sides are gathered together, it means that the decisive battle is coming.

Although he solved his opponent within a quarter of an hour, Dai Yan did not dare to take it lightly. Because in just a quarter of an hour, his soldiers had already suffered more than 150 casualties. A quarter of an hour ago, they were still alive and kicking before themselves; A quarter of an hour later, most of them were corpses lying on the ground.

The casualties of such soldiers also made him feel the fragility of life in this era for the first time, and he was a little unhappy that he had won the war. He looked at Yang Lingjun, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. However, Dai Yan knew that since he was not able to kill Yang Lingjun on the battlefield, he now did not have the power to kill him!

After all, the disposal power of Yangling Jun will still be handed over to the King of Chu! He thought silently in his heart.

For the war between Dai Yan and Yang Lingjun, which came and ended quickly, the Chu army Zuo Sima Zhaohua and the Song army commander Yingzhi, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, were shocked and dropped.

Because the war is fought right under their noses, they have a very clear grasp of the details. At the beginning, the Song army, with the help of peasants who were familiar with the local local conditions, quickly repelled the soldiers of Yanglingjun, which can be considered to be Dai Yan's occupation of Fengyi's home advantage, and with many excellent tactical commands, he formed a force advantage on the local battlefield to achieve victory, which is also as it should be.

And the next decisive battle was a little incomprehensible to both sides. The short swordsmen of 1,000 people on Fengyi's side rushed head-on with a single charge, and they crushed the army with chariots and complete arrays, is there such a strong army in the world? Zhao Slip also asked himself. In his opinion, even if he singled out a thousand people from the Wang Shi Chu Wu in his hands and attacked Yanglingjun's troops with such professional soldiers, I am afraid that he would not be able to defeat them head-on at one time!

However, the partial birth and raising Lingjun was defeated head-on by Ziyan under his nose! There is no trick, but a direct head-on charge!

And Song Wushu's combat effectiveness was even weaker, Yingzhi was watching the battle in Fengyi City, and he also compared Song Wushu in his own hands. In his opinion, Yang Lingjun has no problem controlling and arraying the army, even if he takes out 2,000 soldiers, it is impossible to defeat Yang Lingjun's 5,000 army head-on.

This made both sides who watched the battle have a question: How strong is the combat effectiveness of this Fengyi army?

Of course, Dai Yan knew that for this war, Zhao Slip in the Chu army camp and Ying Zhi in Fengyi City must be observing, but he didn't care about it at all. Since he wants to show his sword, then he has to let his opponents know how sharp this sword really is!

Although the war is over, it is the aftermath of the war that is the most troublesome.

War is a continuation of politics. Although Dai Yan was a little impulsive when he started this war, he didn't start the war with enthusiasm, and of course he had his own goals. His original purpose was simply to punish the Chu army who harassed Fengyi and get them to stop harassing the Song state. At present, it seems that this goal has been achieved, but a new question arises, will this war cause the hostility of the king of Chu to the Song state, and turn to directly attack the Song state?

He is a member of the Song Kingdom, and this problem is something he must solve.

He handed over the matter of cleaning the battlefield to Juzi, and asked Tian Buli to count the losses brought to Fengyi by this war.

Then he only brought more than 100 people, escorted Yanglingjun and Yanglingjun's entourage to the Chu army camp.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the camp, Zhao Slip and Zhao Sui came out of the camp to greet them in person. Dai Yan said directly to Zhao Sui and Zhao Hua: "Two sons, the Emperor of your country did not abide by the agreement reached between my Song State and the Chu State, and wantonly harassed the people of Fengyi, and now he has been personally arrested by me!" For such an act of raising a tomb king in your country, I would like to immediately meet the king of your country, and the king will judge the crime of raising a tomb! ā€

Zhao Sui and Zhao Hua thought that Dai Yan would hand him over to the two of them if he caught Yanglingjun, but they didn't expect Dai Yan to have no intention of this! Although he was saying bad things about Yang Lingjun, Zhao Sui and Zhao Hua could hear that he was accusing the people of Chu of not being faithful!

Zhao Sui opened his mouth and said: "Childe, I think this matter is completely a misunderstanding, presumably Yang Lingjun has already known the mistake after this matter." As he spoke, he made a color to Yangling Jun, and then he said to Dai Yan: "I think, this matter is better to turn a big thing into a small matter, and forget about a small matter!" ā€

Yang Lingjun, who was being escorted on the side, also nodded again and again and said, "Childe, this matter is really a misunderstanding." It wasn't my mastermind to loot Guiyi, it was all done by the people below, and I had to gather an army to fight back after your army attacked me! ā€

Dai Yan turned his head and said to Yang Lingjun: "So, this is me provoking the Chu State without authorization?" If the king of Chu blames him, I can't afford it! I think it would be better to report this matter truthfully to the king of your country, so that if there is really trouble in the future, I will not be able to explain it clearly. Besides, neither Zuo Yin nor Sima has the power to dispose of a feudal monarch, right? ā€

Zhao Sui thought for a moment and said, "Since the prince insists on reporting this matter to the king of your country, then Ben Yin will be as you wish!" ā€

Subsequently, Zhao Hua continued to stay in Fengyi, while Zhao Sui, together with Dai Yan, escorted Yanglingjun to the Pengcheng camp of the Chu army.

There are hundreds of miles between Fengyi and Pengcheng, and you can get there by water and down Surabaya in two days, but Dai Yan waited until the third day to meet the king of Chu.

He was giving Zhao Sui time to report the incident to the King of Chu.

Since Dai Yan wanted to stab this matter in front of the King of Chu, Zhao Sui did not dare to hide this matter. Before they arrived at Pengcheng, Zhao Sui had already sent someone in advance to report the details of the matter to the king of Chu in detail.

The king of Chu met with Dai Yan in front of many generals and feudal lords of the Chu State in the big tent of the Chinese army. When Dai Yan entered the big tent of the Chinese army, the entire big tent was full of murderous eyes of the generals of the Chu army.

From Dai Yan's point of view, the King of Chu is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face that is not angry and arrogant, and has the style of a king.

"Ziyan, the king knows about the battle between you and Yangling Jun without permission. Now that you have won, did you want to demonstrate to this king by escorting Yangling Jun to this king? As soon as the king of Chu spoke, he spoke badly.

"The kid doesn't dare." Dai Yan then asked: "The kid dares to ask the king of Chu, why did the king send troops here?" ā€

The king of Chu replied: "Of course, this king has sent troops here to crusade against the Qi country. Qi and Wei are kings in private, above the princes of the world, which is one of their crimes; The second sin is to wantonly destroy small countries and expand their power in the south. Qi has these two crimes, and the widow should send troops to punish them! ā€

Dai Yan said: "The king's words are very good, the State of Qi has done unjust, and the State of Chu has sent troops to crusade, which is the merit of the State of Chu and the State of Qi. However, our Song State is really a neutral country, and the Qi and Chu wars do not take a stand, but the Chu army wantonly attacks our country, and this Chu State is unjust; The boy has an agreement with your country Zuo Yin, my Song country supplies military rations to your country, and your country promises not to harass our country, but before the words fall, your country's Yangling Jun harassed my fiefdom, and this country has no faith. Without righteousness and faithlessness, can your country defeat the enemy? ā€

"Bold!" As soon as Dai Yan finished speaking, several Chu army generals in the big tent began to yell at Dai Yan. Judging by their appearance, as long as the King of Chu gave an order, these generals could immediately come over and kill Dai Yan.

The king of Chu stopped the actions of these generals, and then said to Dai Yan: "Zhan Zi once told me that there are two sages in the Song Kingdom, and Gongzi is one of them. The widow did not believe it before, but today he sees the benefits of the son's words, and the widow believes it. ā€

Then he asked Dai Yan: "Why does the prince think this king has rebuilt his faith?" ā€

"Faith is the foundation of the world. The people of our country also know that they keep their promises, let alone a big country like Chu State? As long as the king of Chu does not attack a neutral country like China, stops the harassment of our country by your generals, and does what he says and does, this is a re-establishment of faith. Dai Yan replied truthfully.

"That's what you say, that's what you should be." The king of Chu said, and then he said to the generals and feudal monarchs of the Chu army who were full of people: "In the future, no one is allowed to harass the Song State in private, and it will be done in violation of military law!" Do you understand everything? ā€

The generals of the Chu army saw that the tone of the King of Chu was unprecedentedly harsh, and those generals who had this little Jiujiu in private didn't dare to think about it anymore, and they all replied there: "I understand." ā€

When Dai Yan saw the king of Chu say this, he was also relieved, and then he left.
