Just when Huai Guo was making a move against Zhong Liguo, Qi and Chu also began to fight.

The expedition of the State of Qi came, and the State of Chu waited for work, and when he saw the army of the State of Qi coming, the King of Chu did not take it in his eyes at all.

The next day, the king of Chu asked his general Xiang Zeng to lead the army to battle, and the state of Qi ordered Wang Cheng's father to lead the army of Qi to battle.

"The princes of the Central Plains are weak, the reputation of the Qi State is prominent, I think I have some ability, as long as Xiang Qing defeats the army of the Qi State, no one will be able to stop my Chu State from advancing into the Central Plains!"

Wang Cheng's father led the Qi army to fight in the south and north over the years, and defeated Yidi, which can be described as a great achievement, and after learning of the defeat of the Song State and the Chen State, he attached great importance to the Chu State.

Although he said yesterday that he would not put Chu Guo in his eyes, he did not underestimate the other party at all when he was fighting.

Wang Cheng's father first sent an army to test it, and the state of Chu also despised the state of Qi a lot because of the previous big victory over the state of Song and Chen.

Seeing that the offensive of the Qi army was not strong, he thought that the Qi army was nothing more than that, and launched an attack directly. Seeing that the Chu army was so light on the enemy, Wang Chengfu sneered in his heart, and let the army in the middle retreat slowly, holding on to the left and right flanks.

When the Chu army saw the Qi army retreating, they thought that the Qi army was invincible and attacked one after another. As a result, the Chu army advanced too fast, and was unknowingly surrounded by the Qi army on three sides.

Wang Chengfu saw that the time was ripe, and immediately asked the herald to raise the flag. "Gather up, attack!"

The sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the rear of the Qi army, and the rumbling drum was deafening, and the Qi army, which was still steadily retreating just now, immediately stopped, brandished its weapons and collided with the pursuing Chu army.

The Chu army, which was on the offensive, was stunned by the sudden counterattack of the Qi army, and then the Qi army on both sides suddenly moved closer to the center. The chariots that had been ambushed long ago also rushed out on both flanks of the Qi army.

The rumbling chariot rushed out, and dozens of chariots rampaged, rushing directly from the flank of the Chu army, the flank of the army was already a weak point, and in the face of the impact of the chariot, it was torn out of huge gaps in an instant.

The chariot was like a sharp sword, cutting into this piece of fat, and where it passed, the Chu army wolf rushed to the pig, panicked, and was constantly hit and crushed by the chariot. Blood-soaked ruts were left on the ground.

At the same time, the Qi soldiers who were closely following behind the chariot rushed into the Chu army's formation along the gap opened by the chariot, disrupting the Chu army's formation.

Dozens of chariots charged, directly cutting off the back road of the Chu army, completely encircling the Chu army.

The morale of the Chu army, which was surrounded on all sides, dropped greatly, and the Chu army behind saw that the front army was surrounded, and hurriedly rushed up to break through the encirclement and rescue the besieged Chu army.

But how could the army of Qi State, which had been prepared for a long time, let Chu State get his wish? The Qi army on both wings immediately threw bows and arrows, and the Qi army line, which could be easily shaken, did not move at all under the attack of the Chu army.

By this time, the Chu army still didn't know where it was, all this was the tactics of the Qi army.

The left and right flanks of the Qi army blocked the Chu army to the death, and the middle army and the rear army strangled the encircled Chu army. The Chu army was surrounded, a large number of soldiers were besieged and killed, and many soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered after seeing this situation.

Surrounded by heavy troops of the Qi army, the Chu army was quickly defeated, except for those who were killed, all the rest surrendered, surrounded by heavy troops, and the Chu army did not even have a chance to escape.

When the encircled Chu army was resolved, the remaining Qi troops also joined it, and the Chu army could no longer shake the front. At the same time, the losses of the front army also greatly reduced the morale of the Chu army, and if they continued to fight, it would only increase casualties. Seeing this situation, the chief general of the Chu army had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

And the Qi army did not continue to attack, although the Chu army suffered a big loss, but the strength was not weak, and continued to fight, Wang Chengfu was not absolutely sure that the Chu army would be defeated in a battle.

However, in this battle, the Qi State was also a great victory, killing and capturing more than 5,000 people.

The state of Chu was defeated for a while and withdrew in embarrassment. The great victory of the Qi State made the morale of the coalition army soar, and after seeing the strength of the Qi State, even the vassal states of the Chu State began to fall to the Qi State, and for a time the Qi State really had the power to command the world.

Next, the state of Chu and the coalition army faced each other again, and the morale of the Qi army was strong, and there were many vassal states to help each other, and the strength was strong. The army of Chu did not take advantage of its confrontation in the slightest, but lost

Not small. The armies of Lu, Chen, Ju and other countries began to encircle the Chu army.

Although the state of Chu has a vast territory and a large population, the number of troops is still not as large as that of the coalition army. In the past, the state of Chu wanted to rely on the elite soldiers, and the princes of the Central Plains had different thoughts and defeated the coalition army in one fell swoop. I didn't expect the Qi army, as the leader of the alliance, to be so powerful.

After the State of Qi blocked the State of Chu, the allied forces of the princes were dispatched and began to outflank the back road of the State of Chu. The army of Chu had to shrink its defense, and it was beaten and retreated again and again for a while.

The State of Chu wanted to fight a decisive battle with the State of Qi, but he was worried that the back road would be copied, and he wanted to retreat, but he was unwilling, and for a while, he was in a dilemma.

And just when the state of Chu and the state of Qi were inseparable, suddenly the herald of the state of Chu brought bad news that shocked the whole state of Chu, and the state of Huai annexed Zhongli.

Hearing this news, King Chu's eyes immediately went dark and he almost fell to the ground. Now that the State of Chu is being pressed and beaten by the State of Qi, at this time, if the State of Huai also sends troops together, the State of Chu will no longer have the slightest chance of winning, and under the attack of the Northeast, the State of Chu will not be able to withstand it at all.

What's more, if the Huai State and the Qi State make an appointment, they can start directly from Zhongli State and go north along the Han River, and they can immediately cut off the return journey of the King of Chu.

At this time, there was no longer the slightest luck in the Chu State, they didn't dare to gamble, and the King of Chu hurriedly sent someone to ask for peace with the Marquis of Qi.

After Qi Hou got the news, he laughed happily, the loss of the Qi army in this battle was very small, but the results were very brilliant. And Chu Jun also sent an envoy to sue for peace.

After receiving the battle report, the Marquis of Qi did not want to agree to fight with him, but wanted to capture the king of Chu, but Guan Zhong next to him persuaded him: "It is not difficult to capture the king of Chu, but the place of Chu is thousands of miles, and it is extremely difficult to destroy it, so it is better to let him go, let him cut the soil and compensate, and weaken his strength."

Qi Hou thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

The Marquis of Qi agreed to the request for peace with the Emperor of Chu, but the Emperor of Chu needed to go to the king's name, ask the Son of Heaven for his guilt, and restore the tribute, and honor the Marquis of Qi as the overlord of the world. At the same time, it ceded Wanxian to Zheng State, withdrew from the territory of Suiguo, and ceded twenty cities to Chen State and Cai State.

As for the other princes, Chen, Cai, and Zheng took out some gold, silver, jewelry, or land to distribute with other princes.

When the king of Chu learned of the armistice request, his face turned red with anger, but he could only grit his teeth and agree to the request of the state of Qi. He knew very well that if he didn't agree, according to the current strength of the Chu State, the Marquis of Qi would send troops to attack again, and at that time, he would lose even more.

Moreover, the position of the king of Chu is not stable, once he is trapped for a long time, there is a high probability that there will be changes in the country. Despite all his reluctance, the king of Chu still agreed to these conditions. He went to the king's name and pleaded guilty to the Son of Heaven.

After signing an oath with the State of Chu, the prestige of the Marquis of Qi can be said to be in full swing, and the State of Chu also obeyed and respected him as the overlord of the world. It can be said that he is the overlord of the world, and he dare not obey.

The Marquis of Qi led the army back to the Qi State, and along the way, the princes sent each other off, which was almost the treatment of Zhou Tianzi.

After returning to the State of Qi, the Marquis of Qi was in high spirits. In the next few years, while digesting the Lai Kingdom, the Qi State supported the other vassal states and helped them attack Yidi.

After the surrender of the state of Chu, the marquis of Qi also turned his attention to the state of Huai. After leveling the state of Chu, almost all the vassal states respected him as the leader of the alliance, and the Marquis of Qi also turned his attention to the Huai state at this time.

Although the Huai State was recognized by Zhou Tianzi, it has always been wary of other vassal states of Bang Zhou. After sweeping away the other vassal states, the Qi State finally planned to deal with the Huai State.

"Prime Minister Zhong, the Huai State does not pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and it is rude to attack the Wu State, and it is feasible to want to conquer the Huai State?" Qi Hou asked.

Guan Zhong said: "Huai is strong, swallowing Han, and Wu, persuading farmers and mulberries, it can be said that the soldiers are good enough to eat, and they are united, and it is not easy to win, if the king wants to cut down Huai, he also needs to meet the princes of the alliance, and he needs to invite the Chu State."

"Chu State?" Qi Hou was a little surprised.

"Yes, Chu State!" Guan Zhong continued: "The state of Chu fought with the state of Huai twice before, although both times were defeated, it was not because the Chu army was weak, but because the generals were incompetent. With the north and the south coming out, how can the Huai Kingdom be the enemy?"

Hearing Guan Zhong's words, Qi Hou nodded again and again, Huaiguo

Zhisheng is not an enemy of one country, so he immediately agreed with Guan Zhong's statement, and then sent an envoy to Chu to liaise and prepare to attack Huai together.

After the envoy of the State of Qi came to the State of Chu, he was given a grand reception, after all, after experiencing the defeat of Nanyang, the State of Chu had a deep impression of the strength of the State of Qi.

Respect for the strong is the norm of the nations.

Chu Jun received the envoy of Qi State, and when he heard that Qi State was preparing to attack Huai State in the south, Chu Jun immediately became interested. If it was to attack other countries, the Chu State might still refuse, but when he heard that he was going to attack the Huai State, he immediately agreed.

The state of Chu was defeated twice by the Huai State, and the subject state Zhongli State was also annexed by the Huai State, and he always wanted to find a place back, and the Chu State hated the Huai State deeply.

If there is only one country in Chu and Huai against Huai, there is no certainty of victory in Chu State, after all, Huai is strong, they know very well that they have been beaten several times.

But if the Qi State joins forces and then summons the Central Plains princes to besiege the Huai State, this Huai State will not be able to bear it no matter how strong it is, Chu Jun instantly felt that I can do it again!

Chu Jun did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to the invitation of Qi State, and decided to join the camp of attacking Huai State, and at the same time, Chu Jun sent an envoy to Qi State to prepare to discuss the matter of jointly attacking Huai State this time.

The state of Chu promised to attack the state of Huai, but demanded to retake the territory of Zhongli and cede the old land of Wu to the state of Chu. Qi naturally did not agree with the lion's opening of the mouth of the Chu State, and only agreed to the land of Zhongli State, as well as the cession of a part of Wu land, and the rest of Wu State land was to ask for help Wu State to re-establish the state.

The State of Chu naturally knew that the State of Qi would not agree, and it was just to bargain for the sake of bargaining. In the end, Chu and Qi negotiated that one-third of Wu's old land would be ceded to Chu, and the rest would be distributed to Wu, and Chu would help Wu restore it.

Of course, all this is based on the defeat of Huai and the victory of Qi and Chu, and with the discipline of Chu State, when Qi State leaves, isn't it his say how about Wu State?

For the change between Qi and Chu, Huai Guo soon knew, Wang Sheng looked at the information collected in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, this Chu State actually reconciled with Qi State, and then prepared to send a large army to respond to Qi State to attack Huai State together.

Whether it is Qi or Chu, if it is against each other alone, Huai can be sure of victory, and even if the two countries join forces to attack one, Huai can also block it. However, the state of Qi obviously wanted to gather the princes of Bangzhou and the other countries to attack together.

In the face of the alliance forces of the Zhou Dynasty, even the Huai State was difficult to resist.

In the void, Zijue quietly looked into the distance. After the Marquis of Qi became the overlord, Bang Zhou's mandate of heaven continued to increase, and the backlash against Huai became stronger.

This time, the Marquis of Qi united with the vassal states of Bang Zhou to attack Huai, which was the result of the fate of Bang Zhoutian. With the continuous enhancement of Huai's luck, Bang Zhou's backlash against Huai became stronger.

If this time the Marquis of Qi and the vassal states of Bang Zhou win, even if the Huai State does not destroy the country, it will be greatly damaged, and if the Huai State resists this backlash, then the Mandate of Heaven of Bang Zhou will be retreated, and then accumulate strength again, and wait for the next time it feels that its strength is enough, it will go to war again.

Facing almost half of the strength of the Bangzhou countries, Zijue was also a little worried, and immediately chose 300,000 luck points for the lottery.

At the same time, Wang Sheng immediately began to mobilize after sensing that Qi was preparing to make a move against Huai. Gather the army and draw the people. Since the annexation of Wu, Huai has been digesting Wu for the past ten years. By now, the state of Wu has basically been digested.

The population of the entire Huai State is almost 3.5 million people, plus the Zhongli State that has just been annexed, it is more than the population of the Qi State, the Chu State, and the Jin State, and it can be said that it is the most populous country.

In this era, population is a symbol of national strength. Although the populations of Chu and Qi were inferior to those of Huai, they must have surpassed Huai combined.

If the state of Chu wants to attack, it will either attack from the Yangtze River or from both sides of the Yangtze River, and as for the state of Qi, it must be attacked from Xiapi.

Wang Sheng summoned an army and conscripted the people, and this time in order to deal with the coalition army of the state and Zhou, Huai sent a full 200,000 troops.

Among them, there are more than 100,000 elite people in the semi-recruited military system, and the remaining 100,000 are young and strong, mainly responsible for defending the city and transporting it

Food, as for the strongest 15,000 Feather Forest Army and the Vine Armor Army, they were also assembled.

Out of a population of about 4 million, more than 200,000 people have been summoned, and the ratio of the population has reached an astonishing 20 to 1, which is an extremely staggering number, and if the war lasts for a long time in this era of low productivity, next year's cultivation will certainly be greatly affected.

Wang Sheng was dealing with affairs in the palace, and suddenly felt a warm temperature in his eyebrows, and then a sacred and vast voice came from his ears, Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately got up and went to the Taimiao.
