When the envoys of the Jin State arrived in Chujing, they originally wanted to form an alliance with the Chu State, and the two sides of Yuyang Pass withdrew their troops, and then the two countries freed up their manpower to attack the Shang State together.

But the state of Chu is not stupid, the state of Jin now wants to resist the state of Qin on the one hand, and on the other hand, it wants to block the state of Chu, and also wants to share a piece of the meat of the state of Shang, as soon as the state of Chu withdraws its troops, the state of Jin can take the opportunity to expand and seize the opportunity.

This is not what the crown prince and Xie Ling wanted.

The responsibility of the two of them is to control the entire overall situation, how can they let the Jin Kingdom succeed.

Although the emperor was seriously injured and the old marquis died of illness in the original city, the pace of the Chu State's conquest will not stop here.

The crown prince mobilized an army of 200,000 and went to the border.

Xie Ling and Lin Zi were newly married Yan'er, but they didn't have time to be affectionate with her at home, they didn't return until dark every day, and they had to be busy in the study until midnight.

The Xie family lives in Beijing, and Lin Zi is taking care of her, and the Xie family is only taking care of her, and the Xie family is very satisfied with her.

After living for more than half a month, everyone left one after another, and Xie Ling's father and mother insisted on leaving despite his young husband and wife.

The third lady said, "This kid will be handed over to you in the future, it is not suitable for our Xie family to stay in the capital, if he doesn't accompany you, you will come to Su Yue to live, don't pay attention to him." ”

Lin Zi glanced at Xie Ling with affection, and said a little shyly, "My husband has the world in mind, I naturally want to help, mother rest assured, I will definitely take care of his daily life, so that he has no worries." ”

The third lady patted her hand lightly and said to Xie Ling, "Did you hear it, Zi'er is still talking for you, the men of our Xie family, if you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to be good to your daughter-in-law, no matter how busy you are, you can't snub the people who cherish you." ”

The son remembered that he would often write letters to his parents in the future. ”

Xie Sanye said, "This is like words, not only us, but also all the elders, especially your grandfather, his body is gradually weakening, this time his sister is seriously injured, he must feel uncomfortable, you children, don't rely on being young, don't take care of yourself, grandpa is still waiting for you to go back." ”

"Yes, I have already sent someone to send the best medicine, but you all know her temperament, no one can control her, and now it is the time to employ people in the court, so she can't withdraw for a while, wait for me to find an opportunity to tell His Highness, don't let her go to war." ”

"It is better that this may not be frightened by the family. ”

After sending the two of them away, Lin Zicai said, "You said it simply, I'm afraid my sister Yan won't listen to you, even the prince has to listen to the emperor's opinion, how can you call her back?"

Xie Ling frowned and said, "Isn't this to reassure the elders, Sister Yan doesn't like to deal with people's hearts in the court, letting her stay here and face those old foxes every day is the most unbearable for her, she would rather suffer in the army, I don't know what is good for her." ”

"I don't think you should make up your mind, or you should write to ask Twilight Shaoxia, he knows his sister's thoughts best. ”

"This is okay, during this time, my sister has to recuperate from her injuries, and there should be no more mistakes. ”

In July, the Jin State sent troops to the Shang State.

The state of Chu and the state of Jin reached an agreement that the two countries were not allowed to go to war until the state of Shang was broken, but the two countries were not aligned.

The Jin State transferred 100,000 troops from Yuyang Pass and pressed them to the border of the Shang State.

The Jin State sent a total of 500,000 troops, the Shang State abandoned Fan City, returned to the defensive line, and the Pyeongchang army fully confronted the Jin army.

Shang bought grain from Qi State, but the Emperor of Qi did not obey, but Emperor Qi still asked people to prepare.

The Emperor Uncle of Qi and Xie Ling reached an agreement that when Shang was killed, he would prevent Qi from helping Shang and Chu from helping Qi escape from Shang control.

The Shang State especially has 200,000 elite soldiers and iron cavalry stationed outside Qi, Qi is just the weakest country, and the army is also not strong.

Seeing that most of the people in the DPRK still agreed to sell grain to the Shang State.

Although the merchant country has raised the price to the normal price in the market.

But everyone knows that the future is a troubled era, and in the troubled times, food is the most expensive, and they have a mouth, which is half of the grain of Qi State, in this way, Qi Country is almost hollowed out, so how can Qi State feed its own army, how to feed its own people.

No one knows what Emperor Qi and the imperial uncle talked about secretly, that night, the imperial uncle came out of the palace of Emperor Qi, and went to the highest star-picking tower in the palace and stayed for half the night.

When the morning sun rose, Uncle Huang jumped from the Star Picking Tower, ending his hard life.

There is his blood book on the star-picking tower - may the Qi country no longer be oppressed by others.

People speculate that Uncle Huang couldn't see the hope of the rise of Qi State, and in despair, he looked for death.

Emperor Qi was woken up from the arms of a beautiful woman early in the morning, and the body of the imperial uncle had been collected, but the dazzling bloodstains downstairs reminded everyone that the imperial uncle who had done his best for the Qi country was no longer there.

Emperor Qi's body shook for a moment, "Let's bury it." ”

After the death of the emperor's uncle of the State of Qi, the whole country of Qi suddenly boiled, and the voice of resistance against the Shang State became more and more intense.

The DPRK and China finally have different voices.

On the day of the emperor's uncle's burial, Emperor Qi announced the cancellation of the deal with the Shang State, and at the same time mobilized the army, if the Shang State wanted to come hard, the Qi State would not sit still.

Some people say that the death of the emperor's uncle of Qi aroused the last blood in the body of the people of Qi.

But no one saw that in the empty mourning hall, Emperor Qi was kneeling in front of the spirit, crying helplessly.

In the end, the Shang State did not send troops to the Qi State, and 200,000 iron cavalry did not move.

At the end of July, Sister Yan's injuries were almost recovered, and the two emperors went into battle together, pointing at the Shang Kingdom.

Xie Ming took the main force all the way to the east, and Sister Yan and Tianshen each took the whole way, responding from the side.

The transfer of grain and grass was arranged by Jiang Yu as a special envoy.

Xie Ling and the crown prince began to select talents, firstly, to mobilize the incumbent capable people to go to the captured Shangguo cities to receive management, and secondly, to select talents from the reserve to fill the vacancies.

This step is very important, the city land that the soldiers desperately seized needs the right people to manage, and the vacant positions within the Chu State must also be filled by someone who can not delay the daily operation.

For a while, the whole country of Chu moved, the prince and Prime Minister Xie Cheng broke the conventional pattern and gathered a large number of talents, which made the scholars very excited, and now if it is in their eyes, it will be regarded as half a step on the Qingyun Ladder.

When the state of Chu was in full swing, the state of Shang would not sit still.

The Shang State sent countless fine works, and even did not hesitate to expose the chess pieces that had been hidden for many years, and began to disrupt the grain market of the Chu State.

Then at all costs, cut off the grain route of the Chu army.

The entire million Chu army consumes countless amounts of food every day, and if the food cannot be supplied in time, the loss will be immeasurable.

Some people raised prices in the Chu market, and some unknown businessmen also raised prices, and the people were panicked.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a businessman suddenly took out a large amount of grain to stabilize the market, and a turmoil actually subsided.

On the one hand, the Shang people cut off the grain route of the Chu State, and on the other hand, let people implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness, leaving not a grain of grain for the Chu army, and even wanted to trap the Chu army at any cost.

In this way, it is the people of the Shang country who suffer.

The merchant army was defeated and retreated, and before retreating, they had to search everywhere, and if they couldn't take it away, they would burn it down, destroy it, and then retreat to defend it.

Sister Yan led a large army to attack Yicheng, and the defenders of Yicheng defended it for more than half a month, and finally gave up Yicheng until the whole army was almost wiped out.

The attrition and losses of the Chu army were not small.

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, I saw billowing smoke, rising from all over Yicheng, most of which were grain depots and grain stores.

The people hid in their houses and did not dare to come out to put out the fire.

By the time the Chu army went to put out the fire, it was too late.

The people of the city had no other food than the little food they had left in their homes.

When marching to fight, one is to rely on one's own supplies, but to feed the war with war, and the Shang State's practice is not to leave food for the Chu State.

Seeing that the Chu army's grain road was cut off by various methods, Sister Yan was also very anxious, but she didn't expect Cui Yue to use such a lifeless fighting style.

If the Chu army wants to win the hearts of the people, it is naturally impossible to rob the rations of the abandoned people of the Shang State.

All Chu armies encountered this situation, and the situation gradually deteriorated.

The Jin State seized the opportunity to advance and seize the three major cities of the Shang State.

When Xie Ling received the news, he could immediately guess the Shang State's plan, they wanted to trap the Chu army with their lives.

The State of Chu sent people to keep grasping the Shang State and doing fine work, but the Shang people were like locusts, they rushed over desperately, and only did one thing, that is, cut off the grain road.

The most urgent task at the moment is to open up another grain route to transport grain and grass to the front.

At that moment, the prince and Xie Ling discussed, if the land route was blocked, then take the water route.

It was September, Binzhou had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and Binzhou was very close to Luoshui.

The prince ordered southern Xinjiang to first seconded military rations to the Chu army in the Shang battlefield, and then collected sweet potatoes in Binzhou, set off from Binzhou, and transported them to southern Xinjiang along the Luoshui River to the southern Xinjiang army.

After that, the grain from other granaries was transported to Binzhou and transported to the army by water.

This matter is the sole responsibility of Binzhou Mu Wangyi, and the grain must be transported to the army.

At the end of September, because of grain and grass, the pace of the Chu army's offensive slowed down, and the Shang State took the opportunity to transfer troops and confront the Chu State.

The Jin army also suffered a desperate counterattack and suffered heavy losses, so it stagnated.

The situation of the defeat and retreat of the Shang state was temporarily stabilized.

Cui Yue secretly mobilized an army of 100,000 and prepared to explore the path in the Helian Mountains from Xizuo and attack the Chu State.

It is hoped that the state of Chu will withdraw because of a fire in the back.

The army stalked through the Helian Mountains, trying to sneak up on it quietly.

From the beginning of the battle between the two armies, the Dian people, who had reached an agreement with the crown prince and Xie Ling, had long been on guard in secret, for fear that the Shang people would sneak in.

Originally, watching the Shang Kingdom retreat, it should be their business, but who knows, the spies still found the whereabouts of the Shang army.

If you want your people to live a stable life in the future, you must pay now.

The Dian people live in this mountain forest, and they have their own way of survival, not to mention the miraculous Gu art.

The elders and children of the clan secretly withdrew and went to the place where the Chu State had settled them.

Others, setting traps and poisons in the mountains.

Although Gu poison is not as magical as the legend, it is still terrifying.

The Dian people have taken out the old foundation they have accumulated for many years, which should not be underestimated.
