In the surprise of everyone, Gongsun Barui realized that this time, the main goal was to attack Chongguo.

It is in the whole territory of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, the southwest of Bazhong City, the west of Guang'an City, and some parts of the southeast of Mianyang City. The capital of Chongguo is in Langzhong, and it was later called "Langzhou".

There is a legend about the establishment of the Chong State: in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, a Ba monarch captured a Chu woman in the war against the Chu State.

After the death of Ba Guojun and Concubine Chu, the little prince led a group of soldiers and people who supported themselves to the north, along the way experienced the encirclement and interception of the Ba army and natural disasters such as floods and cold winters, and went through hardships, and finally arrived at a small plain in the upper reaches of the Jialing River. Therefore, the country name is "charge". Chongguo became stronger and stronger, and repelled many encirclement and suppression attacks of Pakistan, and later the monarch of Pakistan had to recognize independence.

This time, there are multiple reasons why Pakistan has taken action against the country, including military, historical, and political reasons.

First of all, Chongguo is located between the vassal state of Ba and Shu, the state of Tho, in the middle section of Langshui, that is, on the Jialing River in Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba.

Langshui (Jialing River) is a waterway into Jiangzhou, the capital of Pakistan, and an excellent transportation line for troop transportation and logistics support. The army floated down the river and could quickly reach Jiangzhou.

Therefore, if there is a problem in the defense line of the Jialing River, Jiangzhou, the capital of Pakistan, will be seriously threatened.

At the same time, this waterway, whether from the territory of Chong or Tho, can quickly enter the Chengdu Plain, which is almost undefendable. If Ba controlled the land of Tho, which is known as the gateway of "northern Sichuan (northern Shu)", and then united with Qin, let go of the Niutou Mountain Pass (Jiameng Pass), and led the Qin army into Shu, and Chengdu was closed.

Therefore, both the Bashu and Shu countries attach great importance to the middle reaches of the Langshui (Jialing River) and want to take the initiative into their own hands.

A few years ago, that is, in the eighth year of King Ji Xi of Zhou Lie (368 B.C.), the king of Shu Dushang (Kaiming IX) sent an army to destroy the Xiyu and Ping Erguo, and the king of Shu Dushang sealed his younger brother Du Jiameng in Tho, which was to prevent Qin Yuba.

Secondly, Chongguo, formerly belonged to the country of Pakistan, in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (about 588 BC), separated from the country of Ba, to the state of Shu, once posed a huge threat to the country of Ba, when its power was strong, had troops in the important town of Pakistan Dianjiang (now Hechuan), to the political center of the country of Pakistan Jiangzhou Gong only less than 100 kilometers of waterway.

As a result, Pakistan has been an enemy of Chongguo for generations.

Third, Pakistan has always wanted to reintegrate the country into its sphere of influence, but has not been able to do so for many years. Later, as the Pakistani aristocracy became more and more corrupt, the internal contradictions became more and more acute (according to expert research, the internal contradictions of Pakistan were not as serious as those of Shu), and the relationship between Chu and Pakistan deteriorated, and Pakistan's desire to fill the country was also like an old man to a woman, getting weaker and weaker.

It wasn't until a few years ago that the king of Shu divided the state of Tho, and the high-level of the country of Ba "remembered" that the land of Tho originally belonged to the country of Ba, and borrowed a waterway from the state of Chong to crusade against the newly established state of Tho.

Chong Guo is afraid that Pakistan will stage the trick of "pretending to be a fool and cutting down Yu", and does not want to take advantage of it, but it is also afraid of Pakistan's military strength, so it admits to borrowing the Tao on the surface, and makes small moves behind the scenes, so that Pakistan will return in vain in its conquest of Tho State, and the contradictions between Pakistan and Chong are once again placed on several sides.

As the lord of Ba is old, but the position of the prince has never been decided, the fourth prince Ba Dong'an, under the instigation of his staff, wants to take the opportunity of the crusade against Shu to increase his score.

However, after analysis, Badongan and his staff believed that there were many factors that would determine the outcome of the war, and that in the war with Shu, victory was not certain.

After a long time of planning to no avail, it happened that Shu squeezed out Ba Guo, Ba Ping'an and his staff wanted to lend Shu to seize the gifts of Ba Guo, on the surface a big crusade against Shu, but in fact, secretly attacked the country.

This plan was supported by the two major powerful figures in Pakistan, Shangqing Xiangshang and General Ba Wuji.

If this plan works, firstly, Pakistan has alleviated the trouble of being on a couch and relieved the trouble of confiscating the country for at least a few years; second, the military strength of the confiscated country is far inferior to that of Pakistan, and this time it is necessary to send troops to help the comrades in arms, the Shu people, and its domestic emptiness, in addition, the former monarch of the country, King Baoning, died not long ago, and there was a palace dispute in the process of the new monarch Wuzhen King ascending the throne, and the domestic situation was unstable, and he took advantage of the situation to enter, and the chances of victory were very great; third, the confiscation of the country, that is, the face of his alliance lord Shuguo; and fourth, in this way, Badongan could still get the upper positionThe "score" can at least offset the score that Ba Pingan got in the battle of Bachuguzhang last year.

In other words, this is a decision that is beneficial to the public of Pakistan and the private interests of the fourth prince Badongan.

Of course, Gongsun Bari is not necessary, and he will not explain the above situation to everyone. It is estimated that among the people present at this time, except for Lieutenant General Ba Xiu and Jiangzhou Tiger General Ba Lu, most of the others did not understand, at least not completely.

The tactics formulated by the top level of Pakistan were: under the pretext that Shu had seized the gifts given to Pakistan by Qin, the fourth prince Ba Dong'an and the general (general) Ba Wujian led the main army to march to Shu to attract the main force of the Shu army and give the Shu army a blow at a favorable time; Under the leadership of Gongsun Barui, the marching route took a sharp turn, and suddenly attacked the important town of Guocheng (also known as Shunqing, now Nanchong City), and then rushed straight to Langzhong, the capital of Chongguo, and it was best to capture or kill the king of Chongguo Wuzhen - Chongguo used to call himself "Gong", and began to learn from Shu from the seventh monarch, calling himself "Wang", about the smaller the dog, the louder it barked.

After listening to Gongsun Ba Rui's deployment, Lieutenant General Ba Xiu pointed out that if you want to capture or kill King Chong alive, you must also send a secret envoy as soon as possible to contact the Tho State, and use heavy profits as a bait to persuade the Tho King Du Jiameng to send troops to defend the necessary places between Tho and Chong, and not allow the troops of Chong to enter its territory.

Ba Rui said that it was wonderful, and immediately sent a special envoy to take the priceless jade pendant area on his body as a token and a pledge, and hurried to Philadelphia, the capital of the Tho Kingdom.

Of course, Hu'an Mountain clan Menglong didn't know the core of the story, but he also supported Xiang Chongguo from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, he has two realizations: first, the fourth prince Badongan is not a grass bud, especially compared with the sixth prince Ba Ping'an; second, the so-called standing high, in order to see far, Jiangzhou's high-ranking officials, although there are many people who have wine bags and rice bags, they can obtain more confidential, more advanced, and more comprehensive information, and see things farther than themselves.

Although he had been to Jiangzhou, he had never met Ba Dong'an, who seemed to be the most likely future monarch. However, he knew very well that the "anti-Shu faction" dominated by Ba Andong and the "anti-Chu faction" dominated by Ba Ping'an had formed two different "political camps" over the years. Moreover, Badongan, like most bureaucrats in Jiangzhou, would never think that the Chu people hitting Danfushui was a major matter that was more important to the country's security than the Shu people or the Qin people hitting Jiangzhou.

Therefore, although Zhu Menglong dislikes the sixth prince Ba Ping'an very much from his personal feelings, from the vital interests of his own clan, he still hopes that Ba Ping'an will become the monarch in the future. At least, Ba Ping'an has a deep affection for the lower reaches of the Danfu River, and he has called the Danfu River Basin "his homeland" more than once. Moreover, he is not as self-righteous as Padangan.

Even if Ba Ping'an, who is a nest, has no hope, he also hopes to leave the opportunity to Ba Yuanan, the eighth prince who is stationed in Yushui.

And this time, if the attack is successful, Padangan has a better chance.

It wasn't until Gongsun Barui gave the order that Yu Menglong felt the tense atmosphere of the war and understood that the "reserve" he originally intended was actually a sharp weapon hidden in his sleeve.

As soon as the marching order was given, the Danfushui warriors were like being beaten with chicken blood, and the combat cells all over their bodies became active, running on the road of sneak attack. For the Danfushui warriors who trek in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, in such a "gentle" terrain, even if it is a long-distance march, it feels like playing at home.

Two days later, in the early morning, the sky was bright, and the Pakistani army launched a surprise offensive against the defenders of Guocheng, an important town of Chongguo.
