Chapter 106: Qin State: Heaven treats Huai people so kindly
The bear dwells kill themselves, and Yingdu is broken. The state of Chu suffered heavy losses.
Although Xiong Ju died, Xiong Ju's brother Xiong Tao escaped, and after learning that Xiong Ju was dead, he was proclaimed the king of Chu by other nobles.
Xiong Tao fled all the way north into Yanling, only then stopped, and then immediately sent an envoy to Qin to ask for help.
Although the state of Chu lost the capital of Ying, but the land of the state of Chu is two thousand miles, even if the remaining land area of the capital is still vast, I have to say that the heritage of the state of Chu is rich.
Although the Huai State captured many nobles, there were still a large number of nobles in the Chu State who escaped. Many of these nobles were feudal kings of the Chu State. After the Huai State captured a large amount of land in the Chu State, many fiefdoms of the feudal lords were occupied.
These people are naturally reluctant to give up their fiefdoms to others. As a result, a large number of nobles began to pay for recruiting soldiers and training the army.
The state of Chu sent Shen Baoxu to the state of Qin to ask for help.
In the Yongdu of Qin, Shen Baoxu escorted the Empress Dowager of Chu to Qin, and the wife of the monarch of Qin was the daughter of the Empress Dowager of Chu. Originally, the Qin State didn't want to see the envoy of the Chu State, after all, the two sides had a falling out not long ago, and now I want to see you when you come? Wouldn't I be very faceless?
When Shen Baoxu saw that Qin Guo was unwilling to see them, he immediately felt sad in his heart, and cried directly outside the main hall of Qin State, and while crying bitterly, he told the friendship between Qin and Chu, and expressed remorse for Chu State's previous actions, and was willing to correct and compensate.
A cry is the tears of the listener and the sadness of the hearer. Finally moved Qin Hou, and Qin Hou met with the envoy of Chu State.
When the envoy of Chu informed him of the war and asked for Qin's assistance, the Qin people were also stupid.
When he learned that the Chu State was defeated, Xiong Ju died, and Yingdu was broken, the entire Qin State court was stunned.
They know very well that the territory of Chu is vast, the population is prosperous, Huai is only thousands of miles away from Yingdu, and 100,000 Huai troops are so long and straight into thousands of miles, five battles and five victories, breaking through Yingdu, and capturing and killing the king of Chu.
Such a record is simply a myth in their eyes.
The more than 200,000 troops of the Chu State were all defeated, and the entire war lasted only a month, and in a month, ordinary people rushed from Yingdu to Huai'an.
This Huai State actually marched all the way, won successive battles all the way, and attacked Yingdu.
Even if it is 200,000 pigs, let the Huai army kill them, they will not be defeated so quickly! How did it fail?
The whole Qin State wondered if the Chu State was too weak and so vulnerable. But thinking of the strength that Qin Chu showed when he defeated the Jin State last time, he was not weaker than the Qin State.
Last time Qin and Chu attacked Ba, although the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel in the end, but the strength of Chu was also seen by Qin Guo, otherwise you think Qin Guo is so easy to talk to. Qin and Chu have no more to fight and go to war directly? That's because the strength of the state of Chu is very strong.
Now seeing that such a powerful Chu State was beaten so badly, the Qin State was also shocked.
When more news came together, the Qin State also had a clearer understanding of the battle of Huaichu.
"This Sun Wu is so powerful!"
"Three thousand five hundred, three levels in one day."
"The Battle of Hanshui, three battles and three victories, 13,500 people, defeated the 100,000 army of the Chu State, although there are also reasons for the incompetence of Zichang, but it is undeniable that the Huai State is strong. What's more, later, an army of 10,000 people besieged the left army, Sima Shen Yi, and 30,000 people."
"Shen Yi has always known soldiers, his army is well-trained, it is the elite of the Chu State, and Shen Yi is also quite loved by the soldiers, but even so, he was defeated and annihilated by Sun Wu."
"Huaiguo has another great talent this time!"
"How kind is God to Huai people?"
Huaiguo: ??? You know why? Take your life for it!
Huaiwu Zhaogong, Huaizhuang Xianggong, Huaixuan Gong, Huaihuan Gong, Huai Guo 400 years, there are so many Ming monarchs.
Qin Ren looked envious.
"Chu is a big country in the south, even if this battle is defeated, but the Huai army is unlikely to destroy Chu, if Huai wants to swallow Chu, it would be better, a large number of feudal lords in the old land of Chu resisted, and then we will send troops with Chu, although Huai is strong, but it is not no
Defeatable." Many ministers of the Qin State discussed.
"And if the state of Chu is destroyed, the state of Jin will be able to draw its hand against us, if so, how many years will it take for the state of Qin to go east to Hanguguan?"
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you support the Chu State, if the Chu State falls, the Qin State will face the Jin State head-on. At the same time, the Huai State is so strong, if it is encircled and suppressed by joining forces with the Jin State. I, the Qin State, will also follow in the footsteps of the Chu State!"
"Your Majesty, support the Chu State, the Chu State has suffered heavy losses in this war, and its strength has failed, which can be described as a great injury to its vitality, and it can only be more dependent on the Qin State in the future, which is very beneficial to the Qin State, and the Qin State will dominate the Qin-Chu Alliance."
"Zhuqing, what you said is true, Lone is also willing to send troops to help the Chu State, but is there a way for the Secretaries to defeat or stop the Huai State?"
Zhongqing didn't have any good options for a while, "This Sun Wu is a natural soldier master, he commands an army of 50,000 and runs rampant all over the world, who can resist it?"
Just when everyone felt embarrassed, Zipu, the secretary of the Qin State, said: "Your Majesty, although the Huai army is strong, but at this time, the Huai army is in Chu, and it is a guest army, not a local battle. Although the Huai army was very brave, Sun Wu's command was invincible. But our army is more numerous, familiar with geography, and with the help of the Chu State, we can still fight!"
"There are still many feudal monarchs in the Chu State who are fighting in various places, although these feudal monarchs are not strong individually, but there are many of them, if they can join forces, the Huai Kingdom will need to pay a great price if they want to stabilize the place."
"These feudal lords can disrupt the Huai army's rear route, and at the same time help us attack, with the cooperation of the Chu army, even if they are defeated by the Huai army, it is enough to protect themselves. What's more, the Huai army is running thousands of miles, and the military rations need to be transferred by the Huai State, even if there are ships to transport them by water, it will also require an extremely high price."
"We only need to confront it, a little harassment, and in the end, the Huai State will not be able to hold on, and will retreat, and when the time comes, we will regain the lost territory with the Chu State."
Hearing the strategy of the great master Zipu, the whole Qin State felt that it was feasible, so the Marquis of Qin ordered him to command the Qin army of 100,000, join the Chu army, and go south to attack the Huai State.
After the Qin army was dispatched, the morale of the Chu State was greatly shaken, and the Chu army, which had been in panic all day, finally settled down, and with the support of the Qin State, the Chu State finally put their minds at ease.
Soon the state of Chu began to recruit large armies, and the feudal monarchs from all over the country began to gather, and at the same time, these feudal monarchs also relied on their familiarity with the terrain and their large numbers began to harass the Huai State.
Regarding this situation, Sun Wu had discussed it with Wang Qi before, and both of them believed that it was impossible to annex Chu in World War I, so they did not plan to occupy Yingdu for a long time, but planned to move the population of Yingdu away.
