Update total: Five days later, the war machine of the Chu State has been fully activated, one after another grain ships crossed the Wujiang River, transporting a steady stream of rice and grain to Jiangbei, a team of government soldiers put on armor, brought weapons, waved goodbye to their parents, wives and children at home, and then gathered together and drove to the vicinity of Shouhu Lake and Quyang in the north of Jiujiang County.
Among the three major battalions of the forbidden army, the Tiger Battalion and the Sky Wolf Battalion are also in full swing.
However, the Tiger Camp and the Heavenly Wolf Battalion did not follow the army of the government to gather in the area of Shouhu and Quyang, but with the assistance of the sailors, they went up the Wujiang River and went straight to Jiangling.
At this time, Wu Shi had already rushed to Jiangling one step ahead.
##########
Today's Linjiang State under the rule of Qianzhong, Nanjun, Changsha, Hengshan four counties, the land is more than a thousand miles, the population is more than one million, with Jiangling as the capital, this is actually the territory of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao in later generations.
However, Wu Shi did not immediately ask to see the king of Linjiang, but carried two carts full of paper, books and liquor to the mansion of the general of Linjiang State Gongsun Wu at night.
The land area of Linjiang is far better than that of Chu, but the national strength is much weaker than that of Chu, so it is difficult to directly persuade the Linjiang King Gongwei to use troops against the Liang State, but Wu Shi knows that the Gongwei has a fatal weakness, that is, the general Gongsun Wu, the rumors in the market are not false, and there is indeed a habit of breaking sleeves between Gongwei and Gongsun Wu.
Therefore, if you want to convince the king of Linjiang, you must first buy Gongsun Wu.
Hearing that Wu She, the doctor of Chu State, was visiting, Gongsun Wu actually went to the gate to greet him, and said the salute, Gongsun Wu invited Wu Shi into the living room, Wu Shi did not speak, but took out the gift slip from his sleeve and handed it over.
Gongsun Wu smiled and took the gift list, only glanced at it, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and said: "Doctor, you are, this is really polite, you say come here, why do you still bring such a heavy gift?!" "At the moment when Chu has a monopoly on papermaking and the technology of brewing high-grade liquor, a thousand knives of paper, a large cart of books and fifty jars of liquor are really a heavy gift!
Wu Shi said: "The general is a famous general in the world, especially the battle of Yiyi more than ten years ago, he fought particularly beautifully, and he is not inferior to Han Xin, the king of Qi. After that, Wu Shi bowed to the east again.
When he said this, Wu Shi was nauseating in his heart, comparing Gongsun Wu with Han Xin? Phew!
But there is no way, Wu Shi is now an envoy, that is, the so-called Zonghengjia, the biggest ability of the Zongheng family is to be honest, sometimes even if it is a piece of in front of you, you have to pinch your nose in order to achieve your goal and say, well, this is really fragrant, it is simply fragrant, fragrant.
Of course, Gongsun Wu knew that Wu Shi was complimenting him, but after hearing this, he still felt extremely useful, and his eyes narrowed with a smile at the moment, and he waved his hand again and again: "Doctor Shang is really good at talking, although this general is a little brave, over the years, he has finally lived up to the favor of my king, and he has expanded the territory for Linjiang for thousands of miles, but compared with the king of Qi, it is far behind, heh." ”…,
Wu Shi smiled, and immediately followed Gongsun Wu's words and asked: "General, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now, I don't know if you are interested in expanding the land for King Linjiang for thousands of miles?" ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Wu was moved and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Wu Shi said: "Go to the "cutest dog" year old King Liang insulted my king, the general should know, right?" ”
Gongsun Wu nodded again and again: "I know, I know, Liang Wang Peng Yue is insatiable, and he once asked the King of Chu for papermaking, printing, and liquor brewing, right?" ”
"Yes." Wu Shi nodded, and said, "Since my king succeeded to the throne, how could he have been so insulted? Therefore, my king is determined to use troops against Liang State, to seek justice by force, before coming to Jiangling, he also went to Pengcheng in the next place, Huainan Wang Yingbu has decided to raise 100,000 troops, to help my Great Chu to attack Liang State. ”
After saying this, Wu Shi said again: "General, your country and my Great Chu have always been good friends, and it is not too much to say that it is dependent on each other, and now that the war between my Great Chu and the Liang State is imminent, can your country also send troops to attack the Liang State from the flank?" If your country is willing to send troops, then after destroying the Liang country, my king is willing to reward the Linjiang army with Nanyang County. ”
Nanyang County was originally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, ten years ago Jiujiang Mutiny, Zhou Yin returned to Chu, Jin She, Li Zuoche and more than 20,000 veterans in the Guanzhong were suppressed by Peng Yue, through Chen Ping's mediation, Liu Bang was able to use most of Nanyang County to exchange for Jin, Li Erjun and more than 20,000 Guanzhong veterans, only retained a few counties in the north of Nanyang, and merged into Sanchuan County.
"Nanyang County?!" Gongsun Wu was greatly moved when he heard this, but at the same time he was a little hesitant.
To be able to seek Nanyang County for Linjiang State, Gongsun Wu is of course very happy, but he is not a fool, he knows that the risk of this matter is extremely high, the current Liang State is not the Hengshan Kingdom ten years ago, and the Liang King Peng Yue is not comparable to Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, and the 200,000 Liang army is a tiger and wolf army, and if you start a war with the Liang State, if you don't do it well, you will be crushed!
Gongsun Wu's hesitation was already expected by Wu She, and he threw out another bait at the moment, and then said: "Is the general worried about the lack of troops? Before leaving, our king had specially instructed that if the general was in need, my king could send a general to lead a partial division, pretend to go to Jiangling, and cooperate with the Linjiang army to attack Nanyang. ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Wu was shocked and said, "Doctor Shang, is that what the King of Chu really said?" ”
There are more than 200,000 strong men in Linjiang State, but there are only 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers who often train intensively, and there are less than 50,000 people who can be summoned in a short time.
"Of course." Wu Shi nodded and said, "The strength of this partial division is determined by the general, as long as it does not exceed 50,000, everything is easy to say, as for the grain and grass supply of this partial division, ......."
50,000 is also the actual number of troops that Xiang Zhuang used to expedition to Bashu.
The reason why Xiang Zhuang decided to take 50,000 elite soldiers to expedition to Bashu was also after careful consideration.
There are two reasons: first, the Bashu Plain has now surpassed the Guanzhong Plain to become the largest granary of the Han Kingdom, such an important strategic base, Liu Bang will definitely leave heavy troops to garrison, if the Chu army has fewer troops, it will be difficult to succeed; Secondly, Jiangdong and Bashu do not border, and there is a Linjiang country in the middle, if the Chu army has too many troops, it will inevitably cause fear in the Linjiang country, and the king of Linjiang is likely to refuse the Chu army to cross the border.
After weighing it repeatedly, Xiang Zhuang decided to take 50,000 elite soldiers on an expedition to Bashu.
As for why he violated the iron rule of long-distance friendship and close attack, let Liang Guo not fight but go away to expedition to Bashu, this is also the conclusion reached by Xiang Zhuang and Xiang He, Bi Shu, Bailixian and other ministers after repeated discussions and comparisons. …,
First of all, Bashu is the largest granary of the Han Kingdom, and the Chu State is facing the dilemma of food shortage, before the number of adults in the Chu State does not increase significantly, no matter how much wasteland is reclaimed, it will not be able to change the embarrassing situation of food shortage, but if you can take the Bashu Plain in one fell swoop, the problem of food shortage will be solved.
Because the Bashu Plain not only has thousands of miles of fertile land, but also has enough strong men and women.
Secondly, Bashu is difficult to attack but easy to defend, if the Chu army expedition to Bashu succeeds, then only a small number of troops to hold Jiameng Pass, can block the counterattack of the Han army, if the Chu army after capturing Bashu, can also take Hanzhong in one fell swoop, Bashu will be as stable as a rock, and the Han army in Guanzhong needs to be on guard against the surprise attack of the Chu army from time to time.
As a result, the strategic situation between Chu and Han will be completely reversed!
Again, the Liang State is a hard bone, and it is sandwiched between the two great powers of Han and Qi!
Let's not talk about whether the current national strength of the Chu State can destroy the Liang State, even if the Chu State gathers the Huainan Army and the Linjiang Army and finally destroys the Liang State, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it in the end, because attacking Liangdi from Sanchuan County is unobstructed, and attacking Sanchuan County from Liangdi is separated by a tiger prison in the middle, and the strategic situation is seriously unequal.
When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competed, Xiang Yu was far superior to Liu Bang in terms of military strength, national strength, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but he was never able to attack Sanchuan County, and it was for this reason that he was never able to enter Sanchuan County!
What's more, there is still a Qi country squatting in the east of Liangdi!
Although Han Xin has the ambition to be the emperor, but the Qi State has not dissolved the alliance with the Han State, Han Xin's respect for Liu Bang "The dog is the cutest" has not deteriorated at all, once Liu Bang invited, Han Xin is very likely to attack Liangdi from the east, if this is the case, even if Xiang Zhuang has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, no matter how brave and good the Chu army is, it will definitely not be able to resist.
Therefore, attacking Liang seems to be in line with the iron rule of long-distance friendship and close attack, but it is actually a good strategy.
Last but not least, the reason why Xiang Zhuang decided to go to Linjiang and expedition to Bashu is that there is actually an ulterior and insidious goal!
"Fifty thousand, then fifty thousand!" Wu Shi's voice fell, and Gongsun Wu hurriedly said, "As for the grain and grass needed by the 50,000 Chu army, it will be supplied by our country!" "Gongsun Wu's wishful thinking was clanging, under the premise that the main force of the Liang army was contained near Jiujiang, the Linjiang army plus 50,000 Chu troops was more than enough to take a Nanyang County.
"Okay." Wu Shi said happily, "General, then it's decided." ”
#########
The next morning, Wu Shi officially presented his credentials to the king of Linjiang in the court, and explained his intentions.
Hearing that the State of Chu and the State of Huainan were going to war with the State of Liang, and invited the State of Linjiang to help in the war, the civil and military generals in the court immediately exploded, and the Minister of State Du Hong came out and said: "King, my country has few small soldiers, so it is not appropriate to intervene in this battle." ”
Gongsun Wu frowned and retorted: "Prime Minister, it is a fact that our country has few soldiers, but hasn't the King of Chu already promised to send 50,000 troops to help?" With the help of 50,000 Chu troops, and the main force of the Liang army is bound to be contained by the Chu army and the Huainan army in the two directions of Jiujiang and Surabaya, my Linjiang army will take advantage of the weakness to enter, can't I still take a mere Nanyang County? ”
Du Hong snorted coldly and said, "General, haven't you heard of the allusion of the false Dao Cutting Down?" ”。 )
