The prime minister of Xuzhou, Zhao Wuxian expected that the arrogant husband would definitely not be able to think of this idea, I don't know which of his courtiers came up with this trick, it is really vicious. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as far as Zhao Wuxian knows, several overlords in later generations have fallen in front of this trick.

For example, when Wei Hui was king, Wei was unprecedentedly powerful, and the surrounding neighbors begged for mercy, so the Qin Shang Ying deliberately greeted him, so that Wei Hui Wang Zhi was complacent, regardless of the severe strategic situation of Wei, summoned the small country of Sishang, established himself as the king, and opened a precedent for the princes of the Warring States to claim the king. So the Wei State stabbed the hornet's nest, and in less than ten years, he fell from the position of the overlord, and King Wei Hui could only say to Mencius miserably in his later years: "The Jin Kingdom, the world is not strong, and the son knows it." and the body of the widow, the east was defeated by Qi, and the eldest son died; The west mourning place is 700 miles from Qin; The south is humiliated by Chu. Shame on the ......"

Then King Wei Hui used the same trick on King Qi Wei who defeated him, and Tian Ying Qi was in Xuzhou Xiangwang, the always wise King Qi Wei was fluttering, but it provoked King Chu Wei to be angry, sent troops to attack Qi, Qi was defeated all the way, and had to sue for peace......

Decades later, King Qi Min, the grandson of King Qi Wei, repeated his grandfather's story again, and recognized each other as the "East and West Emperors" with the Qin State, which naturally attracted a lot of hatred, coupled with the brazen destruction of the Song State, which led to the later Five Kingdoms Attack Qi, the Qi army was defeated, and there were only two of the seventy-two cities left in the Qi State, and the King of Qi died, laughing for the world......

Zixia knows that being the king is very tempting for a prince who is about to dominate the Central Plains, but Zhao Wuxian is different from them, although he has no respect for Zhou Tianzi at all, and he has trampled on many Zhou rites since he started, but this bottom line has never been broken, because he knows the benefits of "accumulating grain and becoming king slowly".

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian was unmoved by the invitation of "King Pengcheng Xiang", Wu Yue and the king of Chu State, although they looked very domineering at first glance, in fact, they were just playing by themselves behind closed doors, Zhao Wuxian's goal was the only king in the entire Chinese circle, the Son of Heaven! It's not the false name of a barbarian king, besides, who wants to be on an equal footing with a husband?

But he didn't flatly refuse, but did what he planned. The Wu people planned to take advantage of the peace talks to evacuate from the waterway, and Zhao Wuxian also made a false accusation with them, and at the same time sent Yu Xi and Zhao Guangde to lead his troops to attack the rear of the Wu army......

At this moment, Wuxian looked at the map again, since the Tan State was annexed and the Pi State was also captured, the Zhao army had already choked Surabaya's throat!

First of all, Tan State, which is located between Shandong and Jianghuai, east to the sea, south of Xu State, north control of Zhuyi, the geographical location is very special, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty is an important military stronghold, King Zhao of Zhou has attacked Xu State from here, King Chu Zhuang has also sent troops from here to crusade against Ju State. In the past 100 years, Tan has been a springboard for Wu people to go north to compete for Lusi. It was also the main forces of the Wu State that were concentrated in the Song State, which gave the Zhao army an opportunity to take the Tan State in one fell swoop.

As for the Pi State, this is a small state with the surname Him, a relative of the Xue State, which was originally a country, and was later divided into two after migration. The national strength of Pi is slightly stronger than that of Tan, but it has become Wu, and it is desperate for Wu, and there are more than 2,000 Wu soldiers stationed there. Helplessly, the defenders didn't expect that Zhao Jun, Yu Xibu, and Zhao Guangde of Zou State would suddenly attack Donglu under the instruction of Zhao Wuxian, and it took only two days for Pi State to be declared extinct.

Compared with Tan State, Pi State is a place where soldiers must fight.

The strategy of fighting for Pi was also Sun Wu's suggestion, and he asked Wu Feng to relay Zhao Wuxian: "There are three troubles in using troops for generals, I don't know if the army can be called advance, and I don't know if the army can retreat and retreat, this is the so-called army, Wu army regardless of the rear to enter Pengcheng, it is already an army, and the prince can annihilate it between Xu Si." ”

"Sishang is connected to the Central Plains in the north, and Wu is in the south, which is the key point of Lu, Song, Wu, and Dongyi. And if you want to compete for Sishang, Pi is the top priority, and this place holds the confluence of Yishui and Surabaya, which is a meeting of boats and vehicles. For the north, it is a necessary place to enter the south, and for the south, it is the throat of the Jianghuai River. If the prince can attack Picheng from the Lu State and seize this place, he will not only make the Wu army of the Song State unable to retreat, but also further south to Huaibei and Huainan. ”

Sun Wu has been in Wu for many years, and he is familiar with the situation of the mountains and rivers in Wu State, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can also accurately point out where the seven inches of Wu are and how to fight to make the husband feel painful, and every strategy must be followed by a follow-up move, one link after another, its momentum is irresistible, and it is really worthy of being a "military situation home".

Zhao Wuxian was very much in favor of Sun Wu's suggestion, and the state of Pi was called "Xia Pi" in later generations, but during the period of China's division, it was a place where all forces would fight. The most famous is the Three Kingdoms period, where the Battle of Xiapi took place, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bang took Pengcheng Xiaopei Xiapi as the battlefield, which is very similar to today's Zhao, Song and Wu tripartite wrestling. In the end, Cao Cao got it, so that he could control the southeast, and Yuan Shu of Huainan couldn't raise his head.

When it came to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu in the south swept down Nanyan, and he was also from the south of the Yangtze River

From Huaishui to Surabaya, to Xiapi, leaving ships behind, to attack Shandong with foot soldiers. During the whole process, the army traveled from south to north, and Xiapi was really the center for the allocation of baggage and troops.

In late July, after the "Xuzhou Prime Minister" and the false peace talks were abandoned, Zhao Jun once again showed his fangs to Wu State, and from beginning to end, Zhao Wuxian had no intention of sitting down with his husband to negotiate.

After the occupation of Pi, the north-south navigation road of Wu was cut off, and the situation was already very favorable to the Zhao army.

Now Pengcheng, where the Wu army is located, has been surrounded by the Zhao army from the west, north and east, and the Pi country in the east has seven or eight thousand cavalry of Yu Xi and Zhao Guangde, and there are 20,000 people in Peiyi in the north, and 70,000 troops of Zhao Wuxian and Song in the west are in Xiaoyi.

Zhao Wuxian and his staff believed that there were not many options left for Wu to either concentrate the main forces on a decisive battle with Zhao's army, or sit back and wait for the large encirclement to get tighter and tighter, pinning their hopes on defending the city. Or, abandon Pengcheng to break through to the east and recapture Pi, but once the Zhao army follows, the Wu army will face the danger of being flanked in front and back, and perhaps under Picheng is the place where the Wu army will be destroyed.

On July 27, after several days of fierce fighting, after the Zhao army finally conquered Xiaoyi, he selected a hundred people from the captured Wu people, put them back, and asked these people to spread the news to the Wu army: Wu City has been captured by the Yue State, the prince of Wu State is dead, and Wu Zhong has also been slaughtered by the Yue people!

Wu Jun's strength is not comparable to Qin and Qi, and Zhao Wuxian didn't want to fight his husband. In the case that the Wu people have no fighting spirit, they force Fucha to retreat to the east, and then attack their living forces in the pursuit, and finally annihilate the Wu army under Picheng, which is the best tactic......

"Rumors will spread within the Wu army, I want to see how long the army of a hundred battles rampant in the south can hold out in this situation without retreating?"

……

The husband sat in the tent, rubbing his temples in annoyance, he had never been so passive since he was a young soldier.

A corner of the tent was lifted, and Wang Sun Luo walked in and whispered, "Great King." ”

"How's it going out there?"

Wang Sun Luo's face was sad: "King, there is already a great chaos in the army outside, everyone is worried about the situation at home, and there is also a commotion in Qunshu, Xu and other attached soldiers. There was also a roar in the camp last night, and the soldiers killed each other in the dark, but fortunately it was controlled in time and there were not too many casualties......"

Fu Chaden was furious, and said: "Behead all those who were released by the Zhao army, and those who dare to stir up in the camp must be killed on the spot, and the military discipline must be quickly rectified, so that the widows can attack the Zhao army and fight a decisive battle with it!" ”

"At this time and that time, the morale of our army was still high before, and the decisive victory should be divided into five or five. But now that the Zhao army has broken through Xiaoyi, going west to fight it at this time will not have a surprise effect at all, and it is easy to be attacked by the partial division in the direction of Peiyi, not to mention ......"

Wang Sun Luo bowed to the head of the inspector, choked up and said: "What's more, the Wu people no longer have the will to fight. ”

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the current situation is that Goujian of the Yue Kingdom has rebelled and invaded the hinterland of the Wu State. The hearts of the people of Wu are made of meat, who would not worry about the safety of their families? In this case, no one is willing to fight to the death in a foreign land with their husbands. If you lose, everything is empty, even if you win, you will grab more things and go back, facing the family that has been burned to the ground, facing the family who is missing, what is the point of their expedition this time?

Wang Sun Luo said frankly that the stubborn Wu people were no longer willing to fight against the Zhao army, and they only had one thing in their hearts now: go home!

"Alas......" the husband looked up to the sky and sighed: "The widow can't fight if he wants to......"

He also secretly regretted it, but it was a pity that he was gullible and didn't listen to Wu Zixu's words. Now that Wu Zixu's prophecy has come true, the hegemony that Fucha has worked so hard for has come to naught, even though he is unwilling, he has to accept the reality.

Fucha was entangled for a long time, and then said hatefully: "No matter what, although the Zhao army is surrounded on three sides, there is still a gap, and the outnumbered people will break through the siege of the commander in a few days, advance by land and water, first recapture the Pi country, obtain the ship, and then return to Wuzhong by water." ”

Because Pengcheng was in the south of Surabaya, and the main force and partial division of the Zhao army were in the north of Si, the army crossed the river extremely slowly, which bought time for the Wu army to evacuate from the south bank of Surabaya.

"No." Wang Sun Luo said: "Pengcheng's ships are only enough to carry thousands of people, and the Zhao army is stuck in Pi State, if the army cannot conquer Pi State in a few days, and wait for the main force of the Zhao army in the rear to arrive, our army will be attacked from both sides, not to mention that I heard that the scouts reported that the Zhao army has burned the ships of Pi State, and sunken ships to block the river, even if our army breaks the city, the waterway is also difficult to pass." ”

Fu Cha gritted his teeth with hatred: "How treacherous Zhao Wuxian is, even if the waterway is impassable, but on land, Pi is still the fastest way to return to the country, in addition to a strong attack, do we still have a choice?" ”

Wang Sun Luo said with a smile: "Yes, there is another place, although there was not much passage for the army in the past, it is also a shortcut to return to the country, and it can avoid the combined attack of the Zhao army......"

……

On the last day of July, upon learning of the Wu army's commotion, Zhao Wuxian believed that spreading rumors had played a role, and gave the order to attack. Tens of thousands of troops crossed Surabaya from Xiaoyi and prepared to besiege Pengcheng, but at this moment, he received information from the front: Wu's army began to hastily evacuate from Pengcheng yesterday......

However, Wu Jun's actions also deviated from Zhao Wuxian's expectations, they did not go east, but went straight south!

"To the south?" Zhao Wuxian frowned, this was something he hadn't expected before, he immediately asked people to open the map to check, and soon, Wu Feng, who was acting as a guide on the side, determined the direction in which the Wu army might withdraw.

"Suishui! Fu Lishou! ”
