Chapter 1024 The North of the Central Plains is like a mountain
Zixi was worried that the husband would attack Chu for a long time, but Lan Yin said that the husband was not enough to trouble, and Zixi suddenly became interested: "The country of the husband is much bigger than when he was in Lu, and the benefits of the armor are not inferior, what is the basis for Lan Yin to say this?" “
"The first emperor handed over the spies sent by the Chu State to Wu and Yue to my jurisdiction, so I know something about Fucha, and let me tell you the difference between Lu and Fucha. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lan Yin said: "You don't covet delicious food, one steamed crucian carp per meal is enough; He also did not like to listen to the sound of desolation, and the sound of soldiers striking their shields with their swords was the most beautiful music in his ears; In terms of women, He Lu is also increasingly estranged from his wife and beauties, and even ruthlessly beheaded the beauties to keep Sun Wu; He never coveted comfort, worked diligently in state affairs from morning to night, and sympathized with the sufferings of the people. Hearing a useful word, he was overjoyed, and getting a wise man seemed to have been given the gift of Haotian, he had to change his mistakes, and he had to be right, so he could get the support of the people of Juwu and realize his long-cherished wish to defeat the state of Chu......"
Zixi agrees that Wu Wang Lu is indeed such a formidable opponent. Now that the husband has succeeded to the throne, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he is a villain again, he connived at his own mistakes, stayed away from the virtuous ministers, and refused the advice of others, which led to Sun Wu's departure and the resignation of the soldiers. In addition to conscripting soldiers to go out on the expedition, Fucha also abused the people's power to meet his personal **, since a few years ago, he overhauled the platform of Gusu, and searched for Wu Yue beauties to fill it. The husband did this, Hugh said that like his father, he broke Chu into Ying, but he was afraid that in a few years, he would collapse the Wu State, how could such a person be a long-term threat to the Chu State? Ling Yin only needs to wait for his husband to make enemies on all sides, and if he doesn't repair his internal affairs, Wu Guo will naturally kill himself! “
Zixi shook his head and regained some confidence, but it was a pity that Lan Yin's analysis was very far-sighted, but it did not help the current crisis faced by the Chu State......
Soon, bad news came from the east, it turned out that in mid-May, Fucha didn't know where to learn the news of the death of King Chu Zhao, so he sacrificed the old rule of Wu: funeral hanging. Wu Guozhou's division took the initiative to attack, went upriver along the river, encountered Chu's Guozhou division, and fought a water battle in Juchao......
Wu and Chu's water battles on the Yangtze River can be said to be a common thing, generally speaking, the battle between the upstream fleet and the downstream fleet should be the advantage of the one who occupies the upstream, but the embarrassing thing is that the Chu boat division is always the defeated side, according to the Chu people's own summary, it is because the Chu ships go down the river and retreat against the current; If you attack when you see an advantage, you want to retreat when you see a disadvantage, and this is difficult. The Wu boat went against the current and retreated with the current; If you want to retreat when you see an advantage, you can retreat quickly. Not to mention whether there is some truth in this kind of rhetoric, in short, Wu Guozhou has repeatedly defeated the people of Chu with this kind of water potential, and this time is no exception.
After the Wu division occupied the waterway, it transported the armor from the south of the Yangtze River and swept the land of Shu Jiu, Shu Liao, Shu Yong and other "Qunshu" places, that is, the An. Hui Hefei, until the Dabie Mountain did not stop.
Immediately, the area slightly north was also attacked by the joint attack of Wu and Cai, and Wu's Zhou division was invincible and the land battle was also very strong. 20,000 Wu Jia with 5,000 Cai soldiers, set out from Zhongli and Zhou, marched west along the Huai River, and recaptured Yihu, which had just been recovered by Chu for a few years, with lightning speed.
Because King Zhao of Chu transferred a lot of troops to Yiluo, thousands of miles back and forth, and before he could return to defense, under the fierce offensive of the Wu army, the eastern front of Chu was suddenly stabbed into several big holes. Sima Ziqi is also an old and serious person, at the moment of low morale, he does not dare to fight with Wu Shiye easily, if the fiasco of the Battle of Baiju is repeated, wouldn't it be bad? So he chose to retreat and gave up Ying and Liu, that is, Hou Shi'an. Northern part of the emblem.
To add insult to injury, at the beginning of June, seeing that the Chu army was losing and retreating, and the Wu army occupied the important town of Huaiying, Chen also played their style of seeing the wind and declaring that they would break away from the Chu alliance and join the Wu state......
For this betrayal, if King Chu Zhao was there, he would definitely punish him immediately, but Chu ordered Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi to be helpless.
The Chu army has no psychological advantage in fighting against the Wu army, and every time the monarch dies, the Chu state will fall into a period of confusion: the court forces will be reshuffled, the nobles and feudal lords in various places will have to wait and see for a while, and the Ba people, Pu people, and Yue people who surrender to them will also take the opportunity to resist and must be suppressed, which is not a good time to fight for every inch of land. Therefore, in the face of Wu's aggressiveness, Chen and Cai's tigers, Chu chose to retreat, temporarily abandon the Huaishui area, and shrink the front in order to seek domestic stability.
Fortunately, Wu did not plan to fight a national battle with Chu, and after surrendering to Chen, Wu's army did not continue to go westward, but marched north with the momentum of a great victory.
Because in mid-June, Fucha received a request for help from Pengcheng, and Song Gongjiao begged Wu to intervene in the civil strife!
……
When he received a request for help from the Song State, Fucha just ended his military campaign in Yingdong and returned to Xudi.
This westward advance, taking advantage of the death of King Zhao of Chu, the mentality of fear of war within the Chu State, Fucha was determined to Huaishang, for a time the "Qunshu" east of Dabie Mountain, and the "Eastern Kingdom" east of Yingshui were not owned by Chu.
The expansion of these hundreds of miles of land, and the flattery and sycophancy he received after the great victory, made the husband fluttering, and his self-confidence and pride swelled to the extreme......
So his ambition for hegemony, which had been dormant for a long time because of revenge on his father, began to try again.
The request for help from Pengcheng is simply a pillow when I am sleepy!
Song State, is a hidden pain in the heart of the husband, more than 10 years ago the Song State of the five sons of the rebellion, when the Wu State supported the Xiang family, the Fu Cha personally led the troops to attack Xiaodi, approaching Shangqiu, at that time the Wu State was afraid of the Central Plains princes, he was a fox fake tiger might, a good time, got the "Ninety-nine Prisons" of the favor.
But the fly in the ointment was that Zhao Wuxian, who was still a "Western Doctor" in Lu State at that time, also set his sights on the civil strife in the Song Kingdom. He met his husband, and the two worked together for a while, but their personalities were conflicting, and they couldn't pee in a pot at all. What's more, the husband also took a fancy to Nanzi's beauty and wanted to take it for himself, but Nanzi already belonged to Zhao Wuxian, and she didn't want to go to Wu to be a victim......
For this matter, the husband who holds a grudge has always been angry, although now he has a beauty Zheng Dan, but Gusutai is so big, how can there be more beauties? According to Wu Chen, who had been to the Song Kingdom and saw Nanzi preaching from afar, although Nanzi was nearly thirty years old, she was maintained like a twenty-eight girl, and those superstitious Heavenly Dao believers in the Song Kingdom even rumored that she was "not old".
Wu also has the introduction of the Heavenly Dao, which is still very popular in some places, and Fucha has no interest in those teachings, but Wu also attaches great importance to ghosts and gods and witches. Sometimes the husband also thinks that if Nanzi can be plundered and placed in the palace, on the one hand, he can satisfy the ** that he failed to succeed many years ago, and on the other hand, he can also make Nanzi the great witch of Wu State, and pray for him Haotian ghosts and gods, so that he can defeat strong enemies and increase the hegemony of the country, how good it would be.
With this kind of thought, plus Chen Heng is also constantly praising the richness of the Song land, the geographical advantage is important, if he can subdue the Song State, he can go north to the Central Plains, and the Qi State is willing to guide the pioneers of the Wu State and help the husband to realize his long-cherished wish.
Compete with the princes for hegemony in China! This is the greatest wish of Fucha's heart!
Looking north at the Central Plains, the husband was in high spirits, so he agreed to Peng Cheng's request for help, and he only had two requests.
"First, after the rebellion of the Song Dynasty, when the whole country was a vassal state of Wu, he welcomed the orphan into Shangqiu with the gift of a hundred prisons; Second, dedicate the Great Wu Nanzi to the widow! ”
On Pengcheng's side, although Sima Geng was a little reluctant to bring Wu as a reinforcement, as Shangqiu's troops approached, Song Gong hurriedly agreed.
After getting the reply, the husband touched the beard on his lips, smiled with satisfaction, and then sent Wu Jia, who was able to travel 50 miles a day, to the Song Kingdom first!
(489 years ago) June 30, the day of the Gui Wei, the Eastern and Western Song Dynasty fought in the suburbs of Pengcheng, the Western Army had the advantage, but when the battle situation was critical, three thousand Wu Jia suddenly intervened in the battlefield, impacting the flank of the Western Army, and the situation was reversed for a while, and the Western Army was defeated and lost more than 1,000 soldiers. Hearing that the head of the family died of illness, Le's Sima Chen Dingguo retreated to Mangdang Mountain...... (To be continued.) )
