Chapter 83: The Fall of the State of Xu
The original agreement between the Jin State and Xu Chang was to form an alliance with the Jin State, and this time the Huai State was unwilling to help, which also made Xu Chang very dissatisfied. Therefore, when the Jin State asked for an alliance, he agreed as soon as his head was hot.
After the envoy sent by Huai Guo arrived, after Xu Chang saw the domineering appearance of the envoy in the main hall, the king of his own country actually had to look at his face.
When I was the crown prince, I was bullied by others, and I couldn't even protect my wife, and now my monarch has to look at the face of a messenger, so isn't my monarch in vain?
Xu Chang saw the envoy of Huai State who was talking endlessly in the main hall, and immediately interrupted: "Xu State and Huai State are only allies, the relationship is equal, and Xu State is not a subject country of Huai State!"
"Xu Guo is willing to form an alliance with Jin State, this is the internal affairs of Xu State, and it has nothing to do with Huai State!"
When the envoy of Huaiguo heard Xu Gong's words, his whole person was stunned, and his eyes changed when he looked at him.
Xu Guo has been protected by Huai Guo all these years, which made the Huai State envoy subconsciously become arrogant, but he didn't expect to meet a hot-blooded young man, who was hot-blooded and talked like this!
"Gong Xu, this is your answer?" The envoy of Huai said with a gloomy face.
"Why didn't you hear clearly?" Xu Chang let out a bad breath and was in a much better mood.
Hearing Duke Xu's words, the envoy of the Huai Kingdom bowed his hand again and said, "In that case, then the foreign minister will go back and report Duke Xu's reply to the king!"
Immediately the messenger stopped standing, turned and walked out of the temple.
Seeing that in just a few words, the two sides broke up directly, and the doctors next to them didn't have time to react at all. When the envoy of Huai Guo left, the faces of these people suddenly changed greatly.
"Your Majesty, Huai is strong and Xu is weak, and now Xu Guo can continue, thanks to Huai Guo. You can't be so presumptuous!" One of the ministers persuaded.
"Willful? Gu is not arrogant, the Huai State is strong, but the Jin State is not weak, and the Jin State is in an alliance, do they still want to stop it?" Xu Gong snorted lightly.
suddenly ascended to the throne of the monarch, Xu Chang was in power, and he was very inflated for a while.
......
The envoy returned to Huai and told Wang Jin about the words of Duke Xu and the attitude of Xu State. After listening to the envoy's story, Wang Jin's face was very gloomy.
Huai has always regarded Xu as an ally, and helped it not to be destroyed by other countries, and now this Xu State has actually formed an alliance with Huai's opponent, which is a naked betrayal of Huai.
If he is not punished, will those vassals of Huai State still pay tribute in the end?
Immediately, Wang Jin recruited a large army to prepare to attack Xu, although Xu's strength was not strong, but this time there was a Jin army to help, for this war, Jin was already prepared.
In the court, Wang Jin's face was ugly, and he said hatefully: "Xu Guo was the king back then, and he was besieged by the Bangzhou and Zhou countries, and he almost wanted the country to be destroyed.
Since then, our Huai Kingdom has provided shelter for them, so that they can enjoy wealth in this troubled world!"
"How do they repay us now?"
"Xu Guo knew that my Huai State and the Jin State were not harmonious, and he actually formed an alliance with the Jin State, which is completely unconcerned about my Huai State."
"We have sheltered the state of Xu for so many years, keeping it safe from intrusion. But is this how Xu Guo repays us?"
"Huai Guo does not agree, the soldiers of Huai State do not agree, the people of Huai State do not agree, and they do not agree!"
"Your Majesty, the minister requests to lead a large army to attack Xu, and he will definitely take back Duke Xu's head for you!" The secretaries and generals of the Huai State have asked for battle.
After the annexation of the Yue Kingdom, the war machine of the Huai State began to work again. In less than a month, an army of 30,000 prepared all kinds of supplies, and then sent troops to the Xu State.
The strength of the Xu State was originally poor, and not long ago, because of civil strife, the current Xu Army is simply scattered.
After learning that the Huai army had attacked Xu, the whole country of Xu was panicked, and the face of Duke Xu, who was still imposing before, changed.
"Zhuqing, the army of Huai is coming, how is this good?" Xu Guojun asked.
basilica
Among them, the secretaries looked at each other, and then said, "Your Majesty, you can send an envoy to ask for peace with Huaiguo!"
"Then announce the cancellation of the oath with the Jin Kingdom!"
"No, if it is canceled at this time, not only will the Huai Kingdom be offended, but the Jin Kingdom will also be offended."
"It's better to go directly to the Jin Kingdom for help!"
Above the main hall, there was a lot of noise, and after some arguments, everyone was finally ready to ask the Jin Kingdom for help. The Jin army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to march.
The Huai State army was dispatched, and it can be said that it was overwhelming along the way, and the rule of Xu State became precarious.
When Xu Chang saw this situation, he was also panicked, and regretted not being at the beginning for a while.
At this time, he realized that the Xu Guo he relied on was a paper tiger that could be broken by a slight poke. There was no more arrogance on his face at this time.
Xu Gong has a lot of opinions about being a dog in Huaiguo, after all, his ancestors have also been broad, and he is young and enthusiastic, so he is very resistant to being a dog, and he feels that he can.
Especially after the Jin Kingdom was treated as a guest and invaded the Xu capital, it gave him the illusion that I am the most awesome, and Qi Huan and Jin Wen are not enough.
But after realizing the power of Huai State, Xu Gong suddenly felt that it was not bad to be a dog, at least Xu Guo could still be saved, and he could still serve as the king of a country. At this time, Xu Gong figured it out, but it was too late.
Wang Jin ordered Chen Yi to command the army to attack Xu, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, and he soon captured most of the Xu State, and at this time, the army of the Jin State finally drove away.
The two armies faced each other on the land of Xu, and the Huai army was elite and extraordinary, and the morale was high, and there was no offense in the autumn wherever they passed. Although the army of the Jin State is also elite, it is generally worse than the Huai State, but the army of the Jin State is full of 50,000 people.
The armies faced each other, and after the Huai State and the Jin State tested each other a few times, they began to fight in a dignified manner. It's just that there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
Just when the Huai State and the Jin State were facing each other, the Chu State and the Qin State were also paying attention to this war.
After discovering that the Jin State and the Huai State were deadlocked, the Chu State and the Qin State actually sent large armies to attack the Jin State and the Huai State respectively.
The state of Chu attacked from the state of Shu and wanted to capture the old land of the Yue country, but it was a pity that the Huai state had already taken precautions and had been stationed tens of thousands of troops in the land of Yue, but the sneak attack of the state of Chu did not take any advantage, so it had to retreat.
On the other hand, the Jin State was not so lucky, and the Qin and Chu coalition forces attacked and directly cut off the Jin army's grain route. This made it impossible for the Jin State to continue the confrontation, and could only retreat slowly. And after Huai Guo saw this situation, he did not pursue, Qin, Jin and Chu fought in the three kingdoms, and Huai did not want to participate in it.
It is best to let these three countries play a real fire, and then Huai will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Huai Guo did not want to start a war with Bang Zhou this time, Wang Jin just wanted to bring Xu State back under control.
The Jin State retreated, and the Xu State was soon occupied by the Huai State, and this time, Wang Jin did not intend to leave the Xu State behind. Sometimes, one betrayal is enough.
