"King Chu, do you still think that the Western Chu Kingdom is not in danger of being destroyed?" Gongsun Yandao.

In the main hall, there was a sudden silence, and everyone was speechless as if they had been choked by the throat.

After a while, the King of Chu slowly spoke: "Gongsun Qing, as you said, the State of Chu is now surrounded by the State of Huai and the State of Qin, but the State of Chu is not without the strength to fight back. And Qing came here this time for the big war between Qin and Wei! ”

"What Qing said just now is just to let the Chu State send troops to contain the Qin State, not for my Chu State!"

Gongsun Yan was slightly stunned, then recovered, and continued: "King of Chu, the foreign ministers are indeed as you said, they are here for the Qin State to attack Wei, and they are also for the Chu State. ”

"Wei Envoy, you are so thick-skinned, you dare not be ashamed to be recognized by the king." Another minister said.

Gongsun Yan was not angry, and continued to speak: "King of Chu, the state of Chu now occupies Badi and Hanzhong, with the state of Huai to the east and the state of Qin to the west and north.

The Huai State is strong, and there are dangerous fortresses in hand, it is difficult to pass, the Chu State wants to advance eastward, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, if it does not strengthen its strength as soon as possible, it will be broken by the Huai State sooner or later.

And if Chu wants to strengthen its strength, the only way out is Qin, the land of Bashu, rich in products, and there are natural dangers to the outside world, as long as the road to Shu in Guanzhong is cut off, the land of Bashu is the foundation for Chu to flourish again. ”

"In the same way, if you can't occupy the land of Bashu, then the Qin State will occupy the land of Bashu, and then the land of Bashu will become the granary of the Qin State. And the state of Chu will also decline day by day under the siege of the Qin state and the Huai state, and finally perish! ”

The king of Chu knew in his heart that what Gongsun Yan said was true, since the Qin State changed the law, its national strength has been increasing day by day, and the relationship between Qin and Chu was not bad before, but in recent years, Qin has become more and more coveted for Badi.

"What Qing Zhi said, the widow understands, but if you want the widow to rescue the Wei State, the Wei State must ally with my Western Chu State!" King Chu said.

Gongsun Yan said: "King of Chu, rest assured, my Wei State is willing to form an alliance with Chu State and jointly crusade against Qin State." ”

In fact, although the vertical and horizontal technique is powerful, it is not a lie, and even if this kind of coaxing is successful, it can only succeed for a while, and the most clever vertical and horizontal technique is to let you see the benefits that you will get from doing so.

As the so-called bustling world, it is all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. The king of Chu is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, Gongsun Yan's previous false threats did not scare them, and he saw through Gongsun Yan's purpose. But after seeing the crisis of the state of Chu and the opportunity to develop and grow, the king of Chu still agreed.

After Gongsun Yan agreed with the king of Chu on the dispatch of troops, he hurried back to Wei. After the king of Wei learned that the king of Chu was willing to send troops and wanted to form an alliance with Wei, he immediately agreed to form an alliance with Chu.

One of Chu and Wei was in the east of Qin and the other was in the south of Qin, almost semi-encircling Qin. If we can really unite and attack the Qin State, if the Qin State can't handle it well, it will really be in danger.

The king of Wei immediately wrote a letter of state, and once again appointed Gongsun Yan as an envoy to go to the state of Chu.

In the land west of the Wei River, the 200,000 troops of the Qin State, under the leadership of Gongsun Ying, captured the old capital of the Wei State, Anyi, but the Qin State did not stop there, and was ready to swallow the entire Hexi land.

After receiving reinforcements from the King of Wei, Pang Juan began to fight the Qin State again. Although it still has the upper hand, it also blocks the Qin State.

In order to compete for Anyi, both Qin and Wei invested more than 350,000 troops.

After agreeing to the alliance of Wei, Chu began to mobilize a large army to prepare to attack Qin, Chu occupied Shangyong Hanzhong, and the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was only a prank-up road, this mountain road was rugged, but after repair, it could also pass through the army.

The king of Chu ordered the army to attack the Qin state out of the Bao Slope Road, and the army marched north, through the rugged mountain road, and entered Guanzhong.

Tens of thousands of Chu troops suddenly attacked, and the Qin army was only 3,000 defenders, which was not the opponent of Chu at all, not to mention that Chu took advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack. The vast majority of the Qin army was still asleep, and the state of Chu had already rushed to Guancheng.

The army of Chu broke through the pass and entered the Guanzhong Plain, and the general of Chu Xiang Yan led his army directly to the east to attack Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

After learning of the attack of Chu, the Marquis of Qin was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to gather a large army to resist the attack of Chu, and sent an envoy to Gongsun Martingale to return to the division to rescue.

The army led by Gongsun Ying was the elite of the Qin army, and the army recruited by the Marquis of Qin was mostly old and weak, and they did not have the slightest advantage in the face of the army of Chu.

After the change of the law of the Chu State, the morale of the soldiers was high, and this time the attack on Qin was even more broken by the Qin army, and soon the army of the Chu State approached Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State.

Gongsun Ying, who was confronting the Wei army, received the news of Chu's attack, his face changed suddenly, and Chu went north from Hanzhong and could go straight to Guanzhong, and the threat to Qin was too high.

Before the Qin State and the Chu State were friendly, they were worried that the Chu State would send troops. After seeing that the army of Chu had threatened Xianyang, Gongsun Ying knew that Qin was in danger and immediately decided to return to the army to rescue.

It was not easy for Gongsun Ying's 200,000 army to retreat, but fortunately, the Qin State still had the upper hand at this time and could be arranged calmly, but Anyi, which had just been captured, had to be abandoned.

In order to prevent the Wei State from pursuing the army, Gongsun Ying set up an ambush on the road to withdraw the army in advance, and only then did he lead the army to retreat after being ready.

After Pang Juan learned that the Qin army had retreated, he immediately laughed and said: "The Chu State has sent troops, and the Qin people are going back to the army to rescue!" Can't let them go! ”

The army assembled, Pang Juan led the army to pursue, but after seeing that the Qin army's formation was not chaotic, and the surrounding terrain was more suitable for ambush, Pang Juan ordered the scouts to search, and sure enough, he found the Qin army in ambush.

After seeing this situation, Pang Juan immediately sent people over the mountain range and attacked from the flank, and after a great battle between the two sides, the Qin army began to retreat. Pang Juan's army pursued closely and routed the originally ambushed team.

It's just that although the Wei army defeated a Qin army, it could no longer catch up with the army led by Gongsun Ying.

Pang Juan sent people to recover the surrounding land, and then the army began to march towards Shaoyang. I want to take this city back.

On the other side, Gongsun Ying led the army back to Xianyang, and the Chu general Xiang Yan saw that the Qin army was rushing back, so he immediately sent a large army to attack, wanting to defeat Gongsun Martingale when his foothold was not stable.

The army of Qin returned to the rescue, and the results of this capture were lost, which can be described as angry, seeing the Chu army attacking, one by one bravely took the lead, and the Chu State could not take the slightest advantage.
