The defeat of the alliance of princes led by the Jin State directly caused the Huai State to dominate again.

The position of the overlord of the Jin State was unstable, and this defeat led to the empty position of Fang Bo canonized by Zhou Tianzi in the Jin Kingdom, but there was no actual overlord.

The original thriving Jin state came to an abrupt end, and over the years, the Jin State annexed a large number of small vassal states, which has made many princes panicked, seeing this scene, many vassal states began to pay tribute to Huai State, and Huai State was the overlord.

After seeing the defeat of the Jin State, the Song State and the Wei State immediately sent envoys to the Huai State with a large amount of goods and tributes to pay tribute, for fear that they would be killed by the Huai State as an example.

When the envoy of the Song State came to Huaiguo, he directly regarded himself as a small sect of Yin Shang, and regarded Huaiguo as the major sect of Yin Shang, and looked forward to Huaiguo as the head of the horse, as if the previous style of wall grass was someone else.

In the end, there were more than 30 vassal states that came to pay tribute to Huai, which was more than the number of vassal states that Zhou Tianzi went to congratulate before he ascended the throne, almost making many princes think that this Huai'an was Luoyi.

The reality is like a black humor, Bang Zhou orthodoxy in Huai'an?

After some rest, the Huai army finally freed up its hands in the second year, ready to teach Yue and Chu a lesson.

Yue is located in the south, filled with smoke miasma, rugged roads, and many poisonous insects, which is not suitable for northern soldiers. Wang Yue's edict ordered 30,000 troops to be dispatched to Wu, and sent 2,000 forest guards and 2,000 rattan armor soldiers.

Huaiguo, with Gongzi Min as the main commander, Chen Yi as the vanguard, and Xu Yong as the sacrificial wine, levied an army of 34,000 people, known as 100,000, and attacked the Yue Kingdom in April.

When the whole country of Yue heard the attack of the Huai army, the whole court panicked. Last year, the Chu-Yue coalition army was defeated, and the Yue State lost more than 10,000 people.

To this day, he is still awakened from his dreams in the middle of the night, which makes him extremely angry when he is afraid.

He is a descendant of King Yu, how can he be intimidated by just a few soldiers?

When the Huai army came, Yue Jun immediately summoned his ministers to ask for advice.

"Zhuqing, the 100,000 army of Huai Kingdom is coming, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty, the Huai State is strong, and I am far from being an enemy, so why don't you send an envoy to the Huai State to pay tribute to the Huai State to protect the community?" One of the doctors said.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to call the ministers and pay tribute, last year I Yue and Chu attacked together during the war between Huai and Jin, Huai was extremely angry in my heart, this time the 100,000 army came, how could I just come to parade?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask for help from the Chu State? The state of Chu is a big country of 2,000 miles, and the national strength is strong, if there is the help of the state of Chu, the state of Huai can't do anything to us?"

"The State of Chu was defeated by the State of Huai last year, how could it send troops again?"

"Why don't you send the crown prince to Huai as a hostage..."

For a while, there was a quarrel in the court, whether the war was or not, and the two sides insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other.

"That's it!" Seeing the chaotic court, Yue Hou was very irritable.

Seeing the gentleman speak, everyone hurriedly stopped.

"Your Majesty, although Huai State borders on us, most of the Huai State army is from Jiangbei, and the land of Jiangbei is different from my Yue Kingdom. The rivers of the Yue country are crisscrossed, the climate is hot and dreary, there is a lot of smoke and miasma, the Huai army is not familiar with the environment and roads, and our army is waiting for work at ease, not without the strength of a war!" Doctor Wen Jiang said.

"If we seek peace without a fight this time, with the current momentum of the Huai State, even if we agree to our peace with the Yue Kingdom, the conditions must be extremely harsh, why not seek peace by war?"

After listening to what Wen Jiang said, everyone felt that it made sense and agreed. Yuehou also thought that this strategy was good, so he agreed to Wen Jiang's strategy.

"By the way, I also have to ask for help from the Chu State."

"Whoa!"

After the discussion, the country immediately mobilized. Although it lost more than 10,000 troops last year, the Yue Kingdom quickly recruited 30,000 troops.

At this time, the total population of Yue was only five or six hundred thousand, and this recruitment was almost to the limit.

......

The Huai army set out on the expedition and soon came to the Wu State Meili, Huai'an was 800 miles away from the Yue State, this expedition

The Yue Kingdom was based in Meili and hoarded grain, grass and ordnance in Meili.

The army requisitioned 30,000 people from Wu in Meili and cooperated with the army to go to Yue.

The Huai army and the Yue army fought in Li. The Yue Kingdom took the death row prisoners as the vanguard and stormed the Huai army. The Huai army met the enemy in a goose-shaped formation, with the two wings of the vine armor army and the Yulin guard, and the ordinary soldiers in the middle.

The Chinese army of the Yue Kingdom attacked fiercely, the Huai army retreated, the two wings of the army outflanked, the Tengjia Army and the Yulinwei are the strong army of the Huai State, the elite of the world, the two wings are launched, it can be said that the momentum is like a bamboo, the Yue State is invincible, the casualties are heavy, the army retreats, and the Huai soldiers surround Huiji.

The city of Huiji is high and deep, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, the defense is tight, the whole country of Yue is united, the morale is high, the army attacked several times, and the country was blocked back.

At this time, it was the rainy season, the weather was humid and muggy, and there were many mosquitoes. After the Huaiguo armor was worn, it was unbearably hot, and the skin ulcerated when wearing the armor.

What's even more uncomfortable is that at most five of the ten days are sunny, and the scorching sun is shining, the rain on the ground is steaming, and the heat is unbearable, the leather armor is soaked and rotten, only the rattan armor is convenient, but even so, even the soldiers of Wu Di can not wear armor to attack the city.

After seeing this situation, Gongzi Min and Xu Yong discussed it and decided to try to lure the snake out of the hole and lure the Yue army out, but the army retreated, and the Yue country still held out.

At the same time, the state of Chu was stationed on the border again, and seeing this situation, Gongzi Min and Xu Yong gave up and continued to attack the Yue country.

Yue Guo was also relieved to see that Huai no longer attacked, and then sent an envoy to sue for peace, expressing his willingness to serve Huai as the overlord and pay tribute year after year.

Gongzi Min sent the envoy to Huai'an, and Wang Yue agreed to Yue Guo's request for peace, and asked him to offer 100,000 stone grain and grass and 5,000 slaves.

Yue Guo had to agree, and after receiving grain, grass and slaves, Gongzi Min led the army back to Wu.

This time the capture of Yue was unfavorable, Huai Guo realized the advantages of Yue State, so in order to deal with Yue State, but also in order to better rule Wu Land, Sun Shu Ao ordered to build a new city in Gusu, Gongzi Min led the army back, and Xu Yong built a city in Wu Land.

Because of the 100,000 stone grain and grass offered by the Yue Kingdom, plus the grain and grass hoarded by Meili, Xu Yong levied 100,000 laborers plus 5,000 slaves from the Yue Kingdom, all of which were used to build Gusu City.

Xu Yong built a big city on the shore of Taihu Lake, facing the water on one side. The foundation of the city was uplifted, and it was located on the back of the turtle, and the waterway was repaired to allow the river to pass through the city. There are lakes and hills in the west of the city as barriers, which are not conducive to attacking, and there are fertile fields and fertile fields around, which are convenient for farming.

Ditches were built in the city to facilitate drainage, and rivers were renovated and dredged, because the terrain was the highest in the surrounding area, so there was no need to worry about being dug up to irrigate the city. There is a water source in the city, and in addition to building a big city this time, Xu Yong built an acropolis near the big city.

The two cities are in the shape of horns.

In order to facilitate the transportation of stones, Xu Yong also dug a canal in the local area, which could also be used for irrigation and transportation of grain and grass in the future.
