The deaths of Empress Dowager Zhao and Zhao Hao made Zhao Guo's originally impatient heart settle down. Even if Zhao Guoming knew that every day of delay, South Korea's advantage would be greater, and Zhao's pressure would be greater, but he also knew better that once he was defeated, Zhao's life would be even more difficult!

After unsuccessfully seeking support from South Korea, the Vietnamese also dismissed the idea of passing through Jiangdong. But sometimes, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will take the initiative to come to you, in October, the state of Chu seemed to see that this army was already in vain, and decisively sent troops across Zhejiang to attack Huiji County of Yue.

After the Chu State moved its capital to Wuying, Jiangdong County became the core of the Chu State, and Huiji County, which is separated from Jiangdong by a river, also became a big problem for the Chu State! Let's not mention that there is a feud between Chu and Vietnam, even if Chu and Vietnam are harmonious, on the side of the couch, how can they allow others to sleep soundly? ! Yue Guo was innocently lying down and was shot this time!

The army of Chu is menacing, but it seems that considering that Huiji County is mountainous and has a population of only 60,000 households, logistics will be a big burden if there are too many troops, so this time the Chu State sent only 50,000 troops. Even so, it was a great pressure on the Yue Kingdom, which had only 80,000 soldiers and horses in the country. Although the Yue Kingdom resisted one after another, it was inevitable that the cities would be lost one after another. Fortunately, there are more than 100 miles away from Huiji, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and the main force of the Yue army that rushed to block the pace of the Chu army, and the two armies held each other, each with a victory or defeat! However, the Yue State, which was afraid that the Chu State would continue to increase its troops, hurriedly sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask for help.

When the envoy of the Yue Kingdom arrived in Luoyang, the time had already entered November, and when the king of Han heard the news, he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss.

Prime Minister Zhang Ping said: "The Chu State invaded the Yue, and the Yue State naturally did not support it, and the ministers thought that the survival of the Yue Kingdom was between the king's thoughts." It should be saved! ”

King Han is noncommittal, Yue Guo naturally wants to be saved, if Yue Guo is destroyed by Chu State, Korea will become the next target of Chu State. Of course, it is impossible for Chu to defeat South Korea, but it can make South Korea uncomfortable!

"The minister seconded the proposal! Now the alliance of the Warriors has failed. The reason why countries do not go to war is simply because of habit. Once the news of Chu Yue's war spreads all over the world, most of Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Qin will also take action! I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us in South Korea to be alone, and the progress of Zheng Guoqu will be greatly slowed down! So, there's nothing better than to put an end to the war quickly! Doctor Fan Sui also said.

"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, how can things in this world be as good as they should be, even if the war between Chu and Yue quickly subsides this time, there will soon be wars like Yan, Qi, Zhao and Qi! War is inevitable. The most important thing we need to think about is how to benefit from it, or at least reduce the losses! King Han said.

The ministers said yes one after another, counting it, there has been no war in the world for more than three and a half years, and it was an expedient measure to kill the army. If you want to dominate the world, you can't be afraid of pressure. The construction of the Jeong-kunk Canal cost South Korea a lot of manpower and material resources, but it does not mean that South Korea cannot cope with large-scale wars.

"Since it's about benefiting. The minister thought that this Yue Guo could be saved. But slow down! Wei Wei Li Mu said softly.

King Han smiled slightly and said approvingly: "How to relieve the rescue?" ”

Li Mu replied: "When (Han) was the marquis, Wei attacked me, and we in South Korea asked Qi for help, and Qi agreed on the surface, but secretly it was the living force that let us consume Pang Juan's army. When the Wei army was tired, he sent troops to rescue and set up an ambush in Maling to defeat the Wei army! Why don't we follow suit? ”

"The minister seconded the proposal! The state of Chu had an army of 50,000 near Yingdu, and 50,000 north of the river (Yangtze River), and the state of Chu sent 50,000 troops this time. In this way, Jiangdong is only 50,000 troops! The king only needs to send 100,000 troops, north of the river, and the coefficient will belong to my Korea! The captain said violently.

The partial general Le Cheng immediately asked for an order: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to attack Jiangdong and relieve the siege of Yueguo!" ”

As a general of Zhengnan, it is also appropriate for Le Cheng to take the initiative to ask for his life. Therefore, as soon as Lecheng's voice came out, the generals who originally wanted to ask for war could only give up.

King Han did not immediately agree, but looked at Bai Qi and Wang Qian, who had not spoken, and said: "Bai Keqing and Wang Keqing think that it is good to rescue Yue Guo like this? ”

The main hall instantly fell silent, and he looked at the only two guest secretaries in South Korea with a complicated expression. Bai Qi and Wang Jian have been Korean guest secretaries for three years, and in the past three years, the two have been low-key, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to the existence of the two. King Han suddenly took the initiative to ask the two about state affairs, which seemed to be the first time.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, and took the lead in replying: "The essence of the Chu State is the land of three hundred miles around Yingdu, the second is Jiangdong, and the third is the land of Jiangbei east of Dabie Mountain. Each of these three places has about 20,000 troops garrisoned, and in the event of a war, an army of 50,000 can be assembled within ten days. Whether it is to send troops to take the land of Jiangbei east of Dabie Mountain or Yingdu, the state of Chu will give in, but if we send 100,000 troops and want to take them all, the state of Chu is afraid that it will have to resist desperately, but it will not be easy! What's more, the country of Chu has a lot of land and resources, and the more soldiers you use, the more food you consume, so the ministers think that it is feasible to send troops, but not too much! ”

King Han nodded and asked, "In Bai Keqing's opinion, how many soldiers should be used?" ”

Bai Qi stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand!" Up to 50,000! In this way, it can not only allow the Chu State to consume each other with the Yue State with peace of mind, but also seek to seize the Chu land at the lowest cost! ”

King Han laughed, turned to Wang Jian and asked, "What does Wang Keqing think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Bai Keqing said is very true! According to the minister's opinion, an army of 50,000 can go out in two ways, and it is even more miraculous! Wang Jian replied.

"But the soldiers are out of Nanyang and Ba County?" Han Wang asked.

Wang Jian shook his head and said: "What the Chu State thinks is that it must be to destroy the Yue State with lightning speed, and once the Yue State is destroyed, the Chu State will have no future troubles." According to the minister's opinion, before the Chu State attacked Huiji, it must have ordered Yingdu and the cities north of the river to gather a large army to defend it to the death! Sending troops from Bajun and Nanyang to attack is the next policy! ”

"Will the plan be released?" King Han came to be interested.

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to go out of Runan, cross the Huaishui, and take Xinyang. The army sneaked all the way and attacked the Blockade, and as long as we took the Blockade, the east of the Zha River and the north of the river would be owned by Korea. Then cross the river and take Jiujiang County, so that the hundreds of miles around Yingdu will become an enclave, and it will be effortless! Wang Jian offered his own strategy.

As one of the nine stops (Taifen, Ying'e, Jing Ruan, Fang Cheng, Cuisine, Jing Cheng, Lingyi, Ju Note, Juyong, that is, the current Yanmen Pass, Juyong Pass, Badaling Great Wall, Bauhinia Pass, Chu Great Wall, Huangcaoliang, Jing Cheng Pass, Ju Note Stop, Pingjing Pass, among them, the predecessor of Pingjing Pass is the Underworld, also known as Huang Sai), located at the intersection of Baiju Mountain and Dabie Mountain Range, easy to defend and difficult to attack, choke the throat of Hubei and Henan provinces, and is the main road of the Central Plains in ancient and modern times. Sun Wu once led the Wu soldiers to break through the pass and go south, so that the Chu State suffered a catastrophe, hundreds of years later, when Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, Chen soldiers were here, hated to pass the pass and took the Central Plains, renamed "hate this pass".

Wang Qian's plan is not bold, but if you think about it, it is very likely to succeed. After all, the current state of Chu does not have an army of five or six hundred thousand, and in order to prevent South Korea from "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", the state of Chu must not have many defenders, which is a prerequisite for success.

"The widow promised you an army of 20,000, and you may guarantee that within three months, you will capture the entire county of Jiujiang and make Yingdu an enclave?" King Han looked at Wang Jian and said suddenly.

Wang Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed: "The minister is willing to make a military order!" Not for three months, but two months at most, it will be able to cut off the retreat of the 50,000 army in Yingdu! ”

Wang Jian is a soldier, and for soldiers, the most desired thing is to make meritorious contributions. Now King Han trusts himself, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will have the opportunity to lead the troops next time!

"Okay, the widow will answer you!"

"Thank you, the king!" Wang Jian thanked him for a long time.

"Where is General Zhengnan?" King Han turned his head and said to Le Cheng.

"The minister is here!"

"The widow ordered you to have 30,000 soldiers, and the troops went out of Nanyang, so that you must contain the main force of the Chu army in Yingdu, so that it has no intention of taking care of the behind, and after Wang Jian occupies Jiujiang, the two of you will flank the Chu army and do your best!" King Han instructed.

"Obey the order!" (To be continued......)
