Chapter 279: Cooperation

The complete defeat of the two generals in a heads-up battle directly led to the rout of the Wei army in Leyang City, which was a result that neither Qin Wu nor Wei Wuji had ever imagined.

The 30,000 Wei troops defending the city were killed 15,000 people, 5,000 were killed, and only 10,000 Wei troops were killed and defeated by Wei Wuji. The casualties of Qin Wu's martial army in this battle were only more than 1,000 people, which can be said to be a great victory.

After capturing Pingyang City, Qin Wu ordered Xiang Yu to lead 20,000 men to pursue Wei Wuji's defeated army, Feng Zao led 5,000 people to sit in Pingyang City, and ordered Xi Qishu to lead 30,000 people to attack dozens of cities with empty troops, while Qin Wu himself took 20,000 troops and killed the rear of Chuping City, where Leyang was sitting.

At this time, Chuping City was facing a frantic siege by 80,000 Chu troops, and it could not get the news that Leyang City had fallen.

The Chu army, which was surrounded by scouts, caught a few defeated soldiers of the Wei army who fled from Leyang City in a panic, and got information from them about the defeat of the Wei army and the fall of Leyang City.

Xiong Fang secretly frightened Qin Wu's strong strength, and guessed that Qin Wu would soon lead his army to besiege Leyang together, so he increased the intensity of the siege.

A few hours later, Qin Wu led to Chuping, the Wu army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the morale was also affected by the previous battle, the morale was two points higher than the ordinary state, the Chu army received strong reinforcements, and the morale increased by 1 point, while the Wei army defending the city, after getting the information that Leyang City had fallen and Chuping City had become a lonely city, its morale had dropped by 1 point.

For a time, the morale of the Wu army and the Chu army was like a rainbow, and they continued to launch an offensive towards Chuping City, and Xiong Fang directly ordered the whole army to assault, and he took a group of generals of the Chu army to kill the head of the city, and began to fight with the Wei army on the east and south sides of the city.

At the same time, Qin Wu attacked the West Gate and led the elite soldiers of the Diwu Battalion to the top of the West Gate. Without the obstruction of the generals of the Wei army, some sporadic dark gold generals and ordinary Wei soldiers were not the opponents of Qin Wu and the local martial arts at all, and in just a few minutes, nearly half of the territory of Ximen fell into the hands of the Wu army.

The general trend has gone, Le Yang and Ximen Leopard want to lead the army to break through, but they have no choice but to Chuping City is surrounded by the Chu army and the Wu army into an iron bucket, no matter where they can be killed.

In the end, the 30,000 Wei troops in Chuping City were all annihilated, and Ximen Leopard was captured by Qin Wusheng again.

And when besieging Le Yang and his personal guards, Xiang Yan wanted to capture Le Yang alive, but Qin Wu took the lead, and after flying Le Yang's weapon, he captured him alive.

In this regard, the bear side is also quite helpless.

The main force attacking Chuping City was the Chu army, but the limelight and benefits were all taken up by Qin Wu alone. After asking Qin Wu for the captured Ximen Leopard and Le Yang to no avail, Xiong Bian and Xiang Yan could only go depressed alone.

What's even more depressing is that when the battle on their side was hot, Qin Wu's army had already taken back more than a dozen towns in Korea that had fallen into the hands of Wei in anger.

The Chu and Wu armies that went out this time, the Chu army only participated in one battle of Chuping City, and then he had nothing to do, as if he had come to fight soy sauce.

In this regard, in addition to being helpless, Xiong Fang was deeply jealous of Qin Wu and Wu Jun.

At this point, the battle between Wei and the combined forces of Chu, Han and Wu finally came to an end, and Wei Wuji didn't even dare to clean up the remnants of the army, so he was driven back to Wei by Xiang Yu, until the border army of Wei came to respond, and Xiang Yu stopped the pursuit.

At the end of the war, at first, Xiong Fang and Han Wang'an were worried that Qin Wu would dominate these cities captured by the Wu army alone, but they didn't expect Qin Wu to just inform Han Wang'an to send troops to take over the city, and he integrated the Wu army into one place, and the squad returned to Han City.

The external contradictions are resolved, and now it is finally the turn to resolve the internal contradictions.

Xiong Fang, Xiang Yu and Han Wang'an were all deeply jealous of the strong military strength of the Wu army, and after driving away the foreign enemy of Wei, Xiong Fang came to the Korean palace under the pretext of discussing how Korea would be a vassal to Chu State, and began to plot with Han Wang'an on how to deal with Qin Wu.

Before the discussion began, Qin Wu himself knew that after solving the powerful foreign enemy of Wei, a strong Chu who wanted to turn Korea into his own vassal state, and a weak Han who wanted to hug his thick thighs and tide over the crisis of military slack in front of him, the two sides had every reason to join forces and eliminate their own unstable factor.

After the squad returned to Hancheng and picked up Han Pei'er, Qin Wu returned to Daegu City with the Wu army, bringing the battle in Korea to an end.

And Qin Wu consciously gave up the captured city, and at the same time stayed away from Han Cheng and returned to Daegu City to settle down, which made Han Wangan and Xiong Fang a little confused.

Qin Wu is far away from Han Cheng, Han Wang'an and Xiong Fang have no reason and way to target Wu Jun at all, they can't solve Qin Wu quickly, Xiong Fang feels like a fish in his throat, and he can't wait to get rid of Qin Wu and then quickly.

Han Wang'an, on the other hand, was relatively satisfied with the current state, and with the protection of the Chu State, it was very difficult for Qin Wu to do anything to Korea. And with Qin Wu's containment, Chu State would not be too presumptuous with him, the king of Han. On one side is the backer, on the other side is the son-in-law, if possible, Han Wangan wants to maintain this balance.

"Lord, did we just give up those captured cities?"

In the military camp outside Daegu City, Xi Qishu looked at Qin Wudao with an indignant expression.

Five days ago, Xi Qishu led 30,000 Wu troops to attack more than a dozen towns that fell into the hands of the Wei army, and after the battle, these cities were all returned to South Korea, but the Wu army did not receive any rewards, and Xi Qishu was naturally very dissatisfied.

"A wise man knows what is desirable and what is not. We must conquer those towns, military prestige and fame, which are exchanged for our strength and the sacrifices of our soldiers, and we must not ask for cities and land, which originally belonged to Korea, otherwise we will be in an unjust position and be realized. ”

Qin Wudao.

"I know this, it's just that we have taken back so many towns for them, but they don't say anything at all, this is simply underestimating us!"

Xi Qishu still frowned.

"Our army captured Leyang City in half of the day, and recovered more than a dozen cities and towns in Korea in the other day, and such a record is there, and no one dares to underestimate us. The reason why they didn't say anything was because they wanted to provoke us into doing something wrong that would give them the opportunity to do something. The top priority at the moment is not to compete for power with Chu and Han, but to consolidate their own strength, and then march to the place where there is an opportunity. ”

Qin Wu smiled lightly.

"Lord, what is the goal of our army in the next step?"

Feng Zai asked.

"Go back to where you came from."

A faint smile appeared on Qin Wu's face.

"Going to the party?"

Xiang Yu touched the zha hu on his chin, and suddenly said loudly.

"Well, Han Wangan gave me the Shangdang as a dowry, and with this name, we can also justifiably intervene in the battle of the Shangdang."

Qin Wu nodded.

"Is the lord planning to provoke a war between Qin and Zhao, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Feng Zheng asked.

"No, it's too hateful. Once we get the party by such means, Qin and Zhao will not be convinced, and they will definitely send troops to attack in the future. We have already aroused the jealousy of South Korea and Chu here, and there is no reason to provoke two more strong enemies. ”

Qin Wudao.

"Oh, if that's the case, what are you going to do, my lord?"

His eyes lit up, revealing a hint of interest, Xiang Yu said.

"Cooperation, exchange. What Qin wants is a springboard for the Central Plains, and what we want is a territory that can develop armaments, and the two are not in conflict, so we can cooperate with Qin. ”

Qin Wudao.

"So what's the exchange?"

Feng Zheng asked.

"We helped Qin to take the Shangdang, and in exchange, Qin had to send troops with us to take a third of Wei's cities. When the time comes, the Qin State will be glad to have us to help them contain the Wei State, and then they can concentrate on fighting the other vassal states. ”

Qin Wudao.

"This is a wonderful plan, but I don't know if Qin Jun will agree to cooperate with us. And after we help them capture Shangdang, how can we ensure that the Qin army will definitely fulfill its promise and attack Wei with us? ”

Xiang Yu said with some doubts.

"There's no such thing as absolute success. If the Qin State goes back on its word, I will naturally unite with the other vassal states to crusade against the Qin State in order to seek justice. ”

Qin Wudao.

After clarifying the goal, Qin Wu rushed back to Daegu City to discuss the details with Feng Quji, and when the preparations were ready, Qin Wu moved towards Shangdang alone.

"General, Qin Wu of Daegu City asks to see you."

In the Lucheng City Lord's Mansion, Baili Shi was sitting in the study studying the art of war, when a personal guard suddenly walked in to report.

"What is he here for? Take him to the hall. ”

With a turn of his eyes, with a sparkle of doubt in his eyes, Baili looked at the guard.

A few minutes later, Baili Shi, who was dressed in casual clothes, came to the hall and saw Qin Wu with a breezy expression.

"Why do you dare to come here now, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"

Baili Shidao.

"The teacher will not."

After performing the disciple salute, Qin Wudao.

"If you do anything to endanger the Qin State, then I will definitely arrest you."

Shaking his head slightly, Baili Shi sighed.

The implication of this sentence is that as long as Qin Wu does not do anything that harms the Qin State, Baili Shi will not do anything unfavorable to Qin Wu.

"The disciple is here for the strength of the Qin State this time, so naturally he will not do anything to endanger the Qin State."

Listening to Bailishi's words, Qin Wu's heart warmed slightly, and then said.

"Oh, how do you say that, if you just want to fool me, an old man, with a few random words, then you are wrong."

Turning his gaze, he looked at Qin Wu, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and looked at him for a hundred miles.

"How dare a disciple deceive the teacher? I came this time with the sincerity to help the Qin State win the upper party. ”

A smile appeared on his face, Qin Wudao.
