The forty-first year of Shenwu is a year belonging to the state of Chu.

Since the Chu army crossed the river in April, the general trend that had accumulated for a long time in the Chu State completely broke out and began to sweep the entire world.

As the first overlord of the world, the Liang State, under the attack of the Chu State, collapsed at the first touch, and in just a few months, it lost one-third of its territory, and the national capital Liang was also besieged by the Chu army for a time, and was almost destroyed in a war.

At the beginning, the overlord of Zhongzhou, who singled out the world with one dozen three, seemed to have become a paper tiger in front of the Chu State, and he was broken by someone who stabbed him.

The contrast between before and after is simply jaw-dropping.

Is Liang Guo too weak?

Thinking about it, it seems that just five years ago, the Liang State had just broken the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Xu, and the military might was greatly shocked by the countries.

Its prestige is so great that it even scared Zheng Guo just when he heard that Liang Guo wanted to do it to himself, but he didn't wait for sure?

Zheng Guo hurriedly ran to invite the State of Chu and paid for the land, wanting to take advantage of this disaster to divert the water to the east and avoid the threat of the Liang State.

Such a country, if you want to say that it is weak, it is too insulting to be defeated by the Liang State and the major hegemons who are frightened.

Therefore, Liang Guo is definitely not weak.

Even, above Kyushu, before the Northern Expedition of Chu, Liang was the first overlord in the world.

Relying on his outstanding military exploits, he is recognized as the first overlord of the countries of Kyushu.

It is precisely for this reason that when this first myth was broken by the Chu State, the shock to the hearts of the people in the world was unimaginable.

The state of Chu has also caused a lot of trouble.

……

This winter, Lu Yuan spent time in Donghai County.

After half a year of campaigning, this county has become the center of various camps on the front line of the Liang State, and countless soldiers and horses are arranged here to gather and distribute, assuming the heart function.

"In order to defend the only county in Zhongzhou, Zhao Guo was frightened to increase his troops in Le'an, and Tang Guo took advantage of the situation to attack Qingping County, I can understand all of this, after all, it is for self-protection and taking advantage."

Lu Yuan looked at the recently summarized news, and a little anger arose in his heart: "But Zheng Guo also came to join in the fun, strengthened the soldiers and horses on the Yangxia border, and threatened me on the back road of the Yangxia camp, what do you want to do?" ”

Throwing down the news about Zheng Guo in his hand, the dissatisfaction with Zheng Guo in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The relationship between Zheng and Chu was originally extremely close.

As early as more than 10 years ago, the two countries had diplomatic exchanges, and after establishing good diplomatic relations, they have been in constant communication with each other, with endless business travel, and extremely close exchanges between officials and non-governmental organizations.

Last year, Zheng Guo ceded Yangxia County in exchange for Chu State's blessing to him, and the relationship between the two countries has reached its peak.

It is precisely because of the cession of Yangxia County that the two kingdoms of Liang and Chu fought each other, and this year's war broke out that attracted the attention of the world.

Then, the results are embarrassing.

According to Zheng Guo's original assumption.

Liang is the first big country in the world, and Chu is the second largest country in the world, and the national strength and strength of the two countries far exceed the rest of the countries by one grade.

In the short term, these two countries will never be able to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Although it is on the side of Yangxia County, it is far away from the Chu country, and the strength and resources that the Chu army can project here are relatively limited, and they are not comparable to the Liang army.

But the same Liang State, as the overlord of Zhongzhou, borders on a total of six hegemonic powers, and there are Haikou bandits in southern Xinjiang, and too many enemies have involved too much energy.

In this case, the strength of the Liang State to finally be able to draw out and deal with the Yangxia County of the Chu State is extremely limited.

If one can't project too much, and the other can't go all out, then the war between Jiaodong and Yangxia is destined to become a bad war.

As a result, the two kingdoms of Chu and Liang will continue to invest troops and resources and fall into endless attrition.

As for Zheng Guo, this can take advantage of the confrontation between the two great powers to concentrate on resisting the enemy in the north, developing the internal affairs of the country, and slowly accumulating strength to cope with more violent shocks in the future.

Well.

From this plan, everything is perfect.

The premise is that the two kingdoms of Chu and Liang can really follow Zheng Guo's thoughts and develop according to the prediction.

However, people in the world are not stupid, and Kyushu is even more turbulent and unpredictable.

The State of Chu is here, and the State of Liang is also coming, and the two countries are indeed fighting because of Yangxia County.

In the forty years of Shenwu, everything was indeed as Zheng Guo expected, and it was not out of their control.

But this year, in the forty-first year of Shenwu, with the sudden northern expedition of the Chu State, everything changed.

The state of Liang was quickly crushed, and one-third of the eastern part of the country was seized by the state of Chu.

The remaining central region, with Daliang as the core, also began to be in turmoil, and the two kingdoms of Chu and Liang launched a fierce competition here, and the entire central region became in flames.

Liang Guo's weakness was suddenly exposed to everyone's eyes.

Everyone instantly discovered that the number one overlord in the world was so weak at this time, as if anyone could step on it.

So the wolves came.

Zhao sent troops to Xingyang County, wanting to take the opportunity to expand his territory in Zhongzhou.

However, he bumped into the main camp of the Chu State, and was instantly beaten to the head and bleeding.

Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was also chased back to his lair, and half of the remaining half of Dongjun was also taken away.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Guo saw that the situation was not good, he directly gave up his northern defense, and urgently withdrew another million troops from the country to the south to join the war.

Otherwise, Zhao Guo was afraid that he would be driven back to Hebei directly, and handed over all the pioneering achievements in Zhongzhou in the past ten years.

But even so, on the battlefield of Dongjun, Zhao only had 1.2 million soldiers and horses.

The Chu army's camp on the west road, after receiving the assistance of Canglongdao, has successively pacified the two counties of Xingyang and Jiyin in the summer and autumn of this year, and successfully completed the original set task.

So the camp on the west road, in addition to leaving 300,000 soldiers and horses in the three counties of Jiangxia, Xingyang, and Jiyin, and one congenital town to guard the place, the remaining 2 million soldiers and horses were all invested in the war in the east county.

With two million people against one million people, even if there are a large number of people in the Chu army, the quality has moisture.

But after the number is piled up, the actual strength is no worse than Zhao Jun.

Not to mention, among the 1.2 million troops of the Zhao army, there are actually a large number of people and recruits, which are half a catty and eight taels from the Chu State.

and the gap in terms of innate combat power, the gap between the two countries is even greater.

The West Road Xingying has been joined by the seven innate masters of Canglong Dao, and the number of innate grandmasters has directly reached twenty-seven, even if three people are left to guard the territory of the Xingying.

There can be twenty-four more people who can be put into the front line of the East County.

On the contrary, it is on the side of Zhao Guo.

After years of war, the number of innate grandmasters of the Zhao State was only twenty-one.

In the previous battle with the Chu army in Xingyang County, the Zhao army was defeated, and several congenital grandmasters who led the army were besieged by the Chu army, and one person fell on the spot.

Within the Zhao State, in the land of Hebei, at least six innate people should also be left to guard the northern frontier and the hinterland.

Therefore, in the end, there are only fourteen innate grandmasters who can use the front line of the East County.

With twenty-four people against fourteen people, there are still a large number of Lu Yuan clones on the side of the Chu State, which is equivalent to the master of the innate second realm.

This huge disparity and gap, after the two sides fought, it is needless to say how big Zhao Jun's disadvantage is.

After an initial fight, three people were seriously injured in an instant.

On the side of Zhao Guo, he no longer dared to fight with Chu Junlang and fought head-to-head.

In order to resist the aggressive invasion posture of the Chu State, Zhaojun was even forced to take a defensive position in an all-round way.

With several important cities in Dongjun as the core, all the soldiers and horses were divided into three parts, ensuring that each city could gather three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, four or five congenitals.

Fortify the city with heavy troops to resist the attack of Chu.

I have to say that in the face of this turtle shell tactic, the Chu army really doesn't have a very good way.

Huang Lin led the camp on the west road and tried to fight for a while, but in addition to losing more than 100,000 soldiers, he did not even break the outer defense line of the three major cities of the Zhao army in Dongjun, which shows the strength of its defense.

Seeing this situation, Huang Lin did not continue to attack, and began to turn into a siege, or a deep ditch and high fortress, consolidating the territory of Dongjun that he had occupied, and began a confrontation with the Zhao army.

In the end, Zhao is a state hegemon, and it is the hegemon of Kyushu.

Such a strong enemy, if he wanted to defeat and subdue it by relying only on the strength of the Western Road Camp, he was still reluctant after all.

If you want to deal with this kind of hegemon, you have to rely on the strength of the entire Chu State.

Moreover, Chu State's initial plan did not have a plan to deal with Zhao State, and Zhao's territory was not in the target.

At this time, it was already a surprise to be able to take away half of the Eastern County of Zhao State.

If you can't take the remaining half now, it's not a disappointment, it's time to accumulate experience.

In short, around Liang Guo, Zhao Guo, who wanted to follow Zhao Guo, who fell into the well, ended up in the end, which can be regarded as desolate.

However, compared to the tragic situation of Zhao Guo.

Other hungry wolves who did not have direct contact with the Chu army gained a lot in this wave of Liang Guo's downfall.

After Xu Guo increased the number of defenders in Le'an County to 600,000.

Turning his head, Dongping County, next to Le'an County, was originally supposed to have 300,000 border troops, but after several transfers, the number had been reduced to less than 50,000.

Guarding a county with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and placing it in the rear, far from the heart of the war, is nothing, enough to maintain the stability of the place.

But if it is placed on the border with other countries, this is extremely unreasonable in the world of wars that are becoming more and more fierce and the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no different from not being defended.

In Xu Guo's eyes, the current Dongping County is like a shy girl who took the initiative to take off her gauze clothes, opened her arms, and threw flattering eyes at her.

The scenery is infinite and alluring.

Tell me, in the face of this temptation, do you want to go on or not?

Xu Guo is on it.

It didn't take much effort, but 200,000 troops were mobilized from the country and drove towards Dongping County.

Without much resistance along the way, the county was successfully captured.

The Liang army in the county seemed to have expected it.

Seeing the army of Xu Guo coming, he took the initiative to retreat, and with the last 50,000 soldiers and horses, he retreated to the direction of Daliang.

With this peaceful handover, Xu easily captured his second county in the Zhongzhou region, which can be called the second largest winner in this war, except for Chu.

However, after capturing Dongping County, Xu did not continue to expand southward.

Although in the south of Dongping County and Le'an County under his control, as well as Shanyang County and Jiaoxi County, the defense of soldiers and horses is also empty.

If Xu Guo wants to fight, it is not impossible to win it.

But now, the situation of Liang Guo in Qingzhou is really not good.

In the face of Chu's attack, although Liang successfully blocked the first wave of Chu's offensive by virtue of Daliang Jiancheng and a series of defense lines with Daliang City as the core, it was barely able to maintain his regime.

But Chu Guo's performance this year is too bright and scary.

No one knows, when this winter passes, after the spring of next year, the Chu State launches a second attack, and the Liang State will be able to survive it?

And if the Liang State can't hold on, the Xu State will go south at this time and seize more territory, in addition to further thinning his already small forces and giving the Chu State a chance to break through.

I really don't see any good for the rest.

On the contrary, guarding the two counties of Dongping and Le'an, which have been won now, there is still a big chance for Xu Guo to be able to keep it.

Because these two counties are next to the mainland of Xu.

This territory is under attack, and if the country can quickly mobilize troops and horses and materials to rush to support.

Playing a defensive battle with someone at his own doorstep, Xu Guo still has a lot of confidence.

I didn't see that Zhao Guodu was so miserable, and the main force of Chu in Xingyang was lost, but in the end, Chu State's two million army entered Dongjun, didn't it fail to take this territory away from Zhao State?

With this successful example, Xu Guo asked himself, he still has a lot of confidence in defending Dongping and Le'an counties.

Therefore, for this reason, after seizing Dongping County, Xu Guo did not make further moves.

Even after seeing Liang Guo and handing over Dongping County so cooperatively, Xu Guo was satisfied, and took the initiative to find the two countries and asked if he needed to provide some money, food and materials from his side to help them resist the invasion of Chu.

Well, it's help.

In the face of the sudden rise of the behemoth of the Chu State, the countries of Kyushu are not fools.

They all knew that if the Liang State fell, then the Chu State, which annexed the Liang State, would really open up a gap with other countries, and from then on, everyone would no longer be players of the same rank.

The state of Chu annexed the state of Liang, and it really had the strength of one country to fight the world alone.

Therefore, the Liang State must not be destroyed, and Qingzhou must not be all ceded to the Chu State.

Only one Dongping County was taken, and then the remaining territory of Liang continued to be left to Liang State, so that he could use it as a foundation and deal with Chu State.

In this way, the Liang State became a barrier for other countries, a barrier against the Chu State.

In Xu Guo's heart, that's what he thinks.

For the support of the Chu State, it is also done in the same way.

I don't have to say.

For the help sent to the door, even if I hate Xu Guo's robbery while the fire is in my heart.

But at this moment when the country is in danger, even if the Liang State is resentful, in the face of the olive branch sent by Xu Guo, they can't say anything to refuse.

In the end, I could only accompany the smiling face and accept the help with a thousand thanks.

Then he took the materials sent by Xu Guo, recruited troops in the rear, and went down with Chu on the front line of Daliang.

The blood of the people of Liang has become a wall of flesh and blood of all countries at this time.

A wall against the state of Chu.

Xu Guo is full of gains in Liang Guo.

The Tang Kingdom, which borders the Liang State, has not had a bad harvest this time.

After receiving the news that the state of Chu was showing its majesty and the state of Liang was defeated.

Tang Guo, located in Jingzhou in the northeast, was shocked, but also quickly realized that this was an opportunity for his own expansion.

To be honest, over the years, the expansion of the Tang State in Zhongzhou is actually not bad.

From more than ten years ago, after the division of Zheng State, Liang State seized the opportunity to continuously infiltrate and invade Beizheng, and finally through a series of war diplomacy means, successfully seized the two counties of Beizheng in Yuzhou, and obtained his own admission ticket in Zhongzhou.

According to this situation, before Jingzhou was completely engulfed by the cold wave, the expansion of the Tang State in Yuzhou might eventually be able to get closer to occupying three or four counties.

To be able to occupy the territory of three or four counties in Zhongzhou in the future, this kind of achievement is enough to separate the envy of Wei Zhaoxu and other countries.

But Tang Guo was not very satisfied with this kind of achievement, to be honest.

The territory of the third or fourth county may allow him to maintain the status of a great power in Zhongzhou in the future.

But is one big country enough?

Look at the Liang State next door, which occupies fourteen counties in Qingzhou, almost monopolizing one state.

This kind of volume, that is called a hegemon.

In contrast, a Tang country with three or four counties is just a second-rate small country.

What's even more desperate is that the Tang State still borders the Liang State.

Bordering a large country that is four or five times its size is a desperate thing to think about.

If Liang Guo had an idea, then Tang Guo would not have the slightest resistance on his own.

And if you join forces with other countries to resist the invasion of the Liang Kingdom?

Just look at the occasions that have happened in the land of Kyushu over the years, and what the final outcome will be.

When there is a lack of alignment, even if all parties are united, they are often not great power rivals united as a whole.

In the past, the two Zheng and Jin kingdoms of the north and south united with each other to resist the invasion of Tang Xu, and finally lost their territory one after another, and internal wars and contradictions broke out.

Recently, there was a coalition army of Wei, Zhao and Xu, which was defeated by Liang in Changyuan, and the main forces of the three kingdoms were scattered.

Isn't the lesson brought by these examples painful enough?

Therefore, as a member of the team that personally participated in these things, Tang Guo deeply knew how unreliable it was for all parties to unite against the enemy.

Therefore, instead of expecting sincere cooperation between all parties in the future, it is better to take advantage of this time to try to improve your own strength, make yourself strong, strong enough to face any chaos in the future.

Therefore, compared to Xu Guo, after taking the county of Liang State, he accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue to be greedy, but turned to support Liang Guo.

After Tang Guo also saw the opportunity, he not only sent 800,000 troops, but also directly seized Qingping County in the northeast of Liang State.

The latter is not satisfied.

After leaving 100,000 troops to defend Qingping County, the remaining 700,000 troops began to divide into two routes, attacking Jiaoxi and Donglai counties in the heart of the two countries.

wants to take advantage of the emptiness within the Liang State to expand the territory as much as possible and reap the benefits.

In this gluttonous feast, Tang Guo can be said to have opened his bloody mouth and wanted to eat one meal at a time here.

Then, he was taught to be a man.
