The news of the Vietnamese army's northward attack on the fortress of Fuli soon reached Dai Yan's ears. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFor this barbaric power in the south of the Song Kingdom, the damage to the local area caused by their developed war is truly huge, and Dai Yan does not dare to take it lightly.

He soon met with the king of Chu to negotiate with him. Under the strong pressure of the oppression of the large armies on both sides, the two countries acted extremely quickly, and after leaving an army of 20,000 feudal lords near Xue Yi of the Qi State to monitor the movements of the Qi State, the Chu State soon led the remaining Chu army south and quickly reinforced the fortress of Fuli.

The Song army, under the leadership of Sima Xiangshe, the great of the Song State, led the Song State Standing Army of 20,000 and the army of the local feudal monarch of 20,000, a total of 40,000 people, to the south and began to reinforce Fuli. Song Junzixi stayed in Suiyang and urged Xiangguo to make every effort to supply grain and grass to the Song and Chu coalition forces.

Both Wei and Qi were dissatisfied with Song's sudden declaration of war on Yue, and sent envoys to ask if Song was going to officially join Chu to fight against Wei Qi, Dai Yan replied: Yue did not form an alliance with Wei or Qi, and our Song only declared war on Yue, and such a move would not affect Song's relationship with Wei and Qi.

Wei and Qi were of course dissatisfied with such a reply, but with the arrival of May, the spring ploughing in all countries had been basically completed, and the scale of the war began to expand again. Zhao launched a new round of offensive against Qi State, and Qi State had to defend Zhao State with all its might.

And after the king of Wei received the news that Qin declared war on Wei and Qin launched a large army to attack the land west of the Wei River, he did not have the energy to care about Song's declaration of war against Yue. In the view of the King of Wei, it is better for the Song and Chu states to last longer than the war against the Yue state, if they also draw out the army and join the war against the Wei state, the Wei state will really suffer.

As a result, neither Wei nor Qi had the energy to manage the Song state, while the Chu state relied on the grain and grass supply of the Song state. As a result, the status of the three kingdoms of the Song Dynasty was changed, which made the nobles in the Song Kingdom raise their eyebrows.

In the Song army that followed Xiang She and Dai Yan southward, 20,000 of them were all the standing armies of the monarch, and among the remaining 20,000 troops of the local feudal monarchs, Dai Yan levied all the 3,000 soldiers of Fengyi, and most of the remaining feudal army were also the armies of the minor nobles in the Song Kingdom.

Under Dai Yan's persuasion, most of the two hundred li of land newly acquired by the Song State in the East China Sea were distributed to the declining minor nobles of the Song State. This is actually very understandable, the Song Kingdom is now dominated by the Dai Huang and Le clans, and the Dai clan thus rules the entire Song Kingdom. However, as the leader of the Dai clan, although the strength of the Huang clan is stronger than that of the Le clan, it is not too strong. If the newly acquired land is distributed to the royal family, then the Le family will definitely be jealous. Supporting the small and medium-sized nobles outside the Dai clan, although it weakened the strength of the Dai clan as a whole, it was able to enable the Huang clan to gain the support of these small and medium-sized nobles, which made the Huang clan's strength within the Dai clan relatively rise.

For this kind of complex checks and balances, Zixi, who can complete Dai's capture of the Song Dynasty, is certainly no stranger. After Dai Yan mentioned it slightly, he agreed to such a plan.

The small and medium-sized nobles who expanded their strength as a result were impressed by Dai Yan, who had achieved such great diplomatic results for the Song State, and these people regarded Dai Yan as another virtuous son of the Song State after Muyi.

Da Sima Xiangshe also looked at Dai Yan differently, and did not dare to regard him as a weak young man who had not yet reached the crown. In the process of the Song Kingdom's march south, Xiang She came from time to time to ask for Dai Yan's opinion. Obviously, he really regarded Dai Yan as the actual deputy commander of the Song army.

In mid-May, the Chu and Song armies arrived in Fuli, and before that, the Vietnamese army had already reached Fuli one step ahead.

After the Vietnamese army arrived in Fuli, they began to attack the city, but the Chu army in Fuli received a warning in advance, and the king of Chu personally ordered to defend the city, and the Vietnamese army of more than 100,000 people did not break through Fuli in a short time.

After the Vietnamese army's siege of the city was frustrated, the king of Yue truthfully followed the advice of the Yue generals: disperse the entire army and go to "collect grain and grass". The king of Yue did not object to the request of the generals of the Yue Kingdom, and soon agreed.

Soon, the entire Song-Chu border Fuli area was poisoned by the Vietnamese army.

The Yue people at this time are completely different from the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have been influenced by Chinese culture for many years in later generations!

At this time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions had not yet been thoroughly developed, and the people in Vietnam were very poor. And whether it is Yu Yue or Gou Wu, their people are tattooed, brave and abnormal, and they don't pay any etiquette! After they came to Fuli, they quickly searched the Fuli area carefully, and they didn't let go of anything of value! The few small villages in the Chu State on this side of the country also disappeared directly in the looting of the Vietnamese army!

When Fu Li was looted, part of the Vietnamese army continued to move north, and several towns on the border of the Song State were soon poisoned by them.

At this time, the Song army led by Xiang She and Dai Yan arrived, and soon engaged in several battles with these scattered Vietnamese army grain collection teams. Under the strong desire of the Song people to defend their hometowns and land, the Vietnamese army was soon driven out of the Song country by the Song army.

These sporadic battles with the Yue State were all coordinated by the local feudal lords of the Song State and the local villagers. Judging from the battle reports received by Dai Yan, the Song people were indeed inferior to the Yue people in terms of bravery, and the Yue people had the upper hand in many sporadic battles between the two sides.

And the Yue people are willing to withdraw from the Song State, I am afraid that the biggest reason is that the army of the Chu State has already arrived in Fuli, and the Yue State does not dare to disperse its forces on the land of this enemy country.

The Song-Chu coalition army thus began a confrontation with the Vietnamese army at Fuli.

This kind of confrontation was very beneficial for the Song and Chu states, because Fu was close to the fortress of the Song state, and the Song state was fully supplying grain and grass, and the Song-Chu coalition army did not have the slightest pressure on logistics. On the contrary, although the Yue State had achieved "food for the enemy" in the land of Chu and Song, its large-scale army would soon be able to wash the places it passed into white ground, and in the end it would naturally be short of food.

However, when the two armies confronted each other, it was the Song-Chu coalition that took the lead in attacking.

In the view of the king of Chu, war is about cost. Although the logistics of the army are currently supplied by the Song State, under such a high price of food today, even if it is as strong as the Chu State, it will not last long.

And the more important place is that the king of Chu is extremely disgusted with the behavior of Yue Guo to take advantage of the fire and rob. Originally, the situation of Chu against the attack of Qi and Wei was very good. The State of Chu was even able to regain dominance over the Central Plains in his hands, completing another peak since King Zhuang won the Central Plains, and all this was gone under the sudden attack of the Yue Kingdom!

The King of Chu held a powerful resentment in his heart, and if this resentment was not vented, the King of Chu's heart would not be calm.

Although the king of Chu launched an attack, he did not let the motley troops go up first to consume his strength, as some military strategists in later generations did. As soon as he launched an attack, he let Zhao Hua lead the most elite Chu army and the Yue army to call for battle.

Both the Yue State and the former Chu State's great enemy, the Wu State, did not like to fight in a dignified manner, and although their armies also paid attention to formation, they never honestly lined up to fight the enemy. They all like to "surprise and win".

Zhao Slip came to the front of the Vietnamese army camp with 5,000 Chu army leaders and challenged the Vietnamese army, but the Vietnamese army, which has always been martial and lightweight, could not hold on to the challenge of the Chu army and did not face the battle!

This was the case for several days in a row, which surprised the Song and Chu coalition forces.

However, when it was another day when Zhao Hua led the army to challenge the Vietnamese army, this time there was still no response, but the difference was that the door of the Vietnamese army's large camp was opened, open to the Chu army!

Zhao Hua was puzzled by such a scene, so he sent elite soldiers to the Vietnamese army camp to investigate, but the results of the investigation were extremely amazing: in the entire Vietnamese army camp, there was not even a single Vietnamese soldier!

Zhao Slip immediately reported back to the king of Chu, and then led the Chu army to occupy the camp of the Vietnamese army.

And just after Zhao Hua led the Qianmao army into the camp of the Vietnamese army, those Vietnamese troops who had completely disappeared suddenly appeared all at once! The four Yue feudal monarchs led more than 20,000 of the most elite Vietnamese troops to attack the Chu army camp from all directions, while the remaining nearly 80,000 Vietnamese troops surrounded the Chu army that entered the Yue army camp with all their might!

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Chu State took the lead in attacking, and the most elite Qianmao army of the Chu army that challenged was almost completely annihilated, and less than 500 of the more than 5,000 people led by Zhao Hua finally escaped from the Vietnamese army camp!

As a result, Chu's attack failed, and Chu's most elite Qianmao army was completely wiped out in this battle!

The failure of this attack made the Chu people see the courage and good fighting of the Yue people, and the romantic spirit of the Chu people suddenly backfired. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Chu army, since such a brave and advanced army was almost wiped out in the hands of the Vietnamese army, how could these inferior troops defeat the Vietnamese army?

As a result, the morale of the Chu army became extremely low, and even some of the feudal army's troops did not even dare to leave the fortress.

All of a sudden, the situation became precarious.
