Chapter 285: Bai Gongsheng

The next day, at the court meeting, Fucha announced that he would send troops to the state of Chu. All the doctors of Wu were dumbfounded, didn't they send troops to the Han Kingdom? Why did it change in the past ten days?

Fucha immediately triumphantly announced the attack on Chu Wuli. But in his mouth, this attack on Chu Wuli was conceived by him and Bo Yao. When the doctors heard this, they immediately flocked to the husband with compliments.

For Fucha's shameless piracy, Bo Yao doesn't care, anyway, he also got it from Zigong. Isn't there such a saying? It's not your own money, and you don't feel sorry to spend it.

However, the husband is not stupid, although he sent troops, he was waiting for the news of Chu to send troops, so he sent troops, but it was already February at this time.

But there was a problem on the way out of the army, that is, Wang Sunluo strongly asked his husband to be able to recruit in person. thinks that the Han Kingdom is very dangerous now, and the husband should guard Gusu City in order to be able to deter Xiaoxiao.

Bo Yao doesn't care about this, anyway, the task given to him by Zigong is to let his husband send troops to Chu State, and there is no problem with anything else.

Seeing the two henchmen under his command, one of them stayed by himself, and the other was neutral. In addition, the husband was also a little afraid that Yang Zilu would copy his back road again, so the husband agreed. Fu Cha instead appointed Xu Menchao as the commander-in-chief and led 30,000 Wu troops to the north. Set out from the lower reaches of the Huai River and attack the state of Chu. When Sun Wu and others attacked the Chu State, they also took the Huai River.

Because the Chu State occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Zhou Division occupies a favorable location, and can attack the Wu Army Zhou Division downstream. However, it is different in the Huai River, where the water is relatively gentle, and the Wu Guozhou Division has an advantage in the Huai River. But this is already a thing of the past, since Yang Zilu captured a large number of warships. Fucha had to draw warships from the Huaihe Boat Division to form the Yangtze River and Taihu Boat Divisions to defend Gusu City.

This is understandable, but Fucha ignores the impact of this incident, which will undoubtedly bring a heavy blow to Fucha.

Let's say that Xu Menchao took Wu Jun all the way to Shenyi (now Yingshang, Anhui), an important town in the east of Chu State. This Shenyi was built on the edge of the Huai River, and its strategic location is very important. If he could not be captured, then Wu's grain route would be unstable. It is precisely because of the important strategic location that the city of Shenyi is high and thick, and it is the water of the Huai River as a moat, and it is the first important town in the Huai River basin of Chu State.

Xu Menchao saw Shenyi, and also felt that Shenyi was too difficult to fight, and his brows were tightly locked. At this time, someone offered advice to Xu Menchao and persuaded the defenders to surrender.

Xu Menchao was strange and said: "The State of Chu and my State of Wu are great enemies, and this place is an important town of the State of Chu, the person sent to guard must be a person who is very trusted by the monarch of the State of Chu, how can he surrender to our State of Wu?" ”

This person immediately said triumphantly: "The others may not surrender, but the guard general of Shenyi is called Xiong Sheng, and now the people of Chu call him Bai Gongsheng!" ”

As soon as Xu Menchao heard that the guard would be Bai Gongsheng, he immediately suddenly realized, nodded and said, "This plan is promising!" ”

Why did Xu Menchao say this when he heard this person's name? This has to start with Bai Gongsheng's background. Bai Gongsheng's father was named Jian, and the world called him Prince Jian. The father of this prince is the famous King Chuping. Who is King Chuping? That is the guy who was dug up by Wu Zixu and whipped his corpse three hundred times.

At the beginning, King Chuping asked Wu Zixu's father and favorite minister Fei Wuji to come to serve as Prince Jian's teacher, but Prince Jian didn't like the flattering Fei Wuji, and respected Wu Zixu's father. Fei Wuji was afraid that after the crown prince ascended the throne, he would not have good fruits to eat, so he had a plan.

He told King Chuping that Prince Jian was old and had to marry a wife, and suggested that Meng Ying, the daughter of the monarch of Qin, be his wife. King Chuping thought so, and hired Meng Ying, the daughter of the monarch of Qin, as his wife for the crown prince, and sent Fei Wuji to Qin to welcome his relatives. This Meng Ying is a famous beauty in the world, and Fei Wuji knows that King Chuping is lustful.

Deliberately brought Meng Ying to King Chuping, King Chuping was really good. The color is as the name suggests. When I saw my daughter-in-law, I forgot about my son, disregarded ethics, and implemented the bag plan. He married Meng Ying, and let Meng Ying's maid act as Meng Ying and marry the crown prince Jian as his wife.

As the saying goes, paper can't hold fire, how can this matter be hidden for how long? It didn't take long for Prince Jian to know what had happened from his wife, that is, Meng Ying's maid, and he was so angry that Prince Jian's three corpses jumped violently, but he was helpless.

After a while, Fei Wuji immediately slandered King Chuping, saying that Prince Jian had complaints about the king! When King Chuping heard this, he immediately felt empty, and King Chuping naturally knew what to complain about. So King Chuping absolutely transferred the prince to the outside to guard it, and it was out of sight.

After Prince Jian left, Prince Jian's forces were immediately leaderless, and Fei Wuji took the opportunity to eradicate Prince Jian's forces. After a few years, after everything was dealt with, Fei Wuji slandered King Chuping again, saying that the crown prince had contacted the Jin State and the Qi State for foreign aid and was ready to rebel. King Chuping believed it, of course, it is also possible that King Chuping thought that even if Prince Jian did not rebel now, he would definitely rebel in the future, who told him to take his wife.

So King Chuping issued an edict to kill Wu Zixu's father Wu Hao and his eldest brother, Wu Zixu, and Prince Jian. But because the crown prince was built in another place, King Chuping only killed Wu Zixu's father and eldest brother in the end. After receiving the news, Prince Jian fled with Wu Zixu to the Song State, and then to the Zheng State.

But the crown prince was obsessed with ghosts, and was ready to become the monarch of Zheng State himself under the guidance of the Jin State. However, the rebellion failed, and Prince Jian also died, so Wu Zixu took Prince Jian's son Sheng to Wu State, and under the protection of Wu Zixu, Sheng's son also lived much better. When King Chu Zhao died, Sheng's uncle and father Xi were in power, and Zixi had a good relationship with Prince Jian, but now he saw that Prince Jian died tragically, and he only had one son, who was still abroad.

So Zixi summoned Sheng back to Chu State, and asked the King of Chu to give Sheng a good fief, and the fief was named Bai. So the world called the victory Bai Gongsheng one by one.

But no matter how you say it, Wu Guo took in Bai Gongsheng when he was in trouble and gave him shelter, so that he didn't have to continue to live a life of exile, needless to say, his kindness was great. Therefore, Xu Menchao wholeheartedly believed that Bai Gongsheng would definitely surrender in order to repay Wu Guo's kindness.

But I don't want Bai Gongsheng to surrender by fraud, and pretend to say that there are many generals in the city who are loyal to the Chu State, and I can't open the city and surrender. Then Bai Gongsheng asked to meet with Xu Menchao on the Huai River in the evening to talk about how to cooperate with the Wu army to capture Shenyi.

Xu Menchao thought that in his own army, he was afraid of something, and he did not suspect that Bai Gongsheng had tricks. But he didn't want Bai Gongsheng to go to the meeting that night, but he came with three big fireboats. By the time Xu Menchao reacted, he felt that something seemed wrong with the ship, and it was too late to send someone to Bai Gongsheng to stop the boat!

At this time, these three fireships were already very close to the Wu army's battleship, and Bai Gongsheng also tore his face, and immediately ordered the soldiers to set fire the sulfur, firewood and grass on the ship. Following the current, the three fireboats immediately collided with the Wu Junzhou Division, igniting the Wu Junzhou Division of the Wu State moored on the Huai River, and the flames illuminated the sky red, and not only the Wu Junzhou Division was in chaos at this time. Even the soldiers of the Wu army who were camped on the shore were in chaos.

Shi Qi, a fierce general under Bai Gongsheng, took the opportunity to lead 300 warriors to launch a night attack on the Wu army camp. Don't look at it, although there are only three hundred people, Bai Gongsheng is very good at buying people's hearts. He imitated Tian's family, usually borrowing grain is a big bucket, and when he takes back the grain, it is a small bucket. In this way, the people of Shenyi are very supportive of Bai Gongsheng.

Not only that, Bai Gongsheng also likes to interact with people in the market, and he does not hesitate to help people in difficulty. And these three hundred people, also for various reasons, have accepted Bai Gongsheng's great favor. These people in the market are the most righteous, as the so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs.

And these 300 people are even more victorious, and they are selected as dead soldiers. Moreover, these three hundred people are all wearing Wu army armor, and they have not thought about life since the beginning of the war, and all of them have not been marked. But because of this, the Chu army caused a great texture to the Wu army. The soldiers of the Wu army had no idea who was the enemy and who was the comrade. Under the great fear, the Wu soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and they began to attack everyone around them, whether he was an ordinary soldier or a general, and the Wu army camp was in chaos.

At this time, Bai Gongsheng also took the opportunity to send the Chu Junzhou Division to attack the Wu army, killing the Wu Junzhou division to the ground. As for the soldiers of the Wu army on the shore, Bai Gongsheng waited until daytime before sending a military vehicle to charge the chaotic Wu army. The Wu army lost his armor and was chased by the Chu army for hundreds of miles, and the blood stained the Huai water.

Of the 30,000 Wu troops, when they returned to Wu, there were less than 10,000 left. And the Chu army, including the dead soldiers, suffered less than 500 people, and this battle of Wu State can be described as a real defeat.

When the husband found out, he was so angry that he killed all the generals who came back. Although Xu Menchao died, the husband did not let him go because of this, but beheaded the entire family of Xu Menchao.

As for the tribesmen, the men were slaves, and the women were sent to the women. This female lu is also the (female branch) hospital.

But no matter how angry the husband is, in this battle, the husband not only can't get a profit, but also suffers heavy losses. Wu also lost the power to attack for the time being, even if Fucha immediately ordered the countrymen to reorganize their armies for war. However, with the current national strength of the Wu State, although it can recruit forty or fifty thousand people, plus the existing soldiers, there are probably about eighty thousand. However, compared with the Wu army in the past, the combat effectiveness of the current Wu army has not been lowered by a grade, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been reduced to a level that is a few points better than that of small countries such as Lu and Zheng, which is really a great sadness.

The most dangerous thing is not this, but now that Wu is preparing for the revenge of the Chu State, and the Han State is taking advantage.
