This is the protagonist of the Northern Expedition of the Chu State, and there are essentially three.

Chu, Liang, and Wei, the three first, second, and third countries in the world, were the protagonists of this war.

But in fact, after the Northern Expedition of the Chu Army, the eyes of the world did not fairly divide the three protagonists, but all of them were cast on Chu Liang.

After all, this is Zhongzhou, in the center of the world.

And Chu is the original second power, and Liang is the first power, and the competition between the eldest and the second for the position of hegemon naturally attracts attention.

As for the battle between the second and third children, it is not surprising in comparison.

Therefore, the other protagonist, Wei Guo, is like a little transparent, and is ignored by everyone gorgeously.

It's as if the Wei State was isolated by the whole world in an instant, and it looks a little bleak.

Well, he is also indeed desolate.

If it is said that because of this Northern Expedition of Chu, the Liang State was defeated in an instant, lost half of its territory, and was almost on the verge of extinction.

Then the Wei State is almost dying.

Chu's Northern Expedition was too sudden.

No one thought that Chu Guoguo would suddenly make a move, and after doing it, the strength he showed was simply terrifying.

Wei Guo was one of those who didn't expect it.

In recent years, the relationship between Chu and Wei is actually very good, even so good that it surpasses Zheng Guo.

After all, Zheng Guo is far away from the ocean, and if Chu Guo wants to communicate with the other party, he needs to step through the rough and dangerous sea, and there are too many variables in it.

But Wei was different.

Wei is located in the northern frontier, and its territory borders on the Chu state, whether it is between Xiangyang and Nanyang, or between Hanzhong and Guannei, there are too many channels to communicate.

In recent years, the Wei State has had to purchase a large amount of grain from the Chu State because of the continuous wars, which have affected the domestic grain production, so as to maintain the needs of the domestic people.

This grain trade alone is tens of millions of taels of silver traded every year.

As for the trade of various other commodities, it is even more innumerable.

And that's just the economic exchanges.

Militarily, as early as twenty years ago, when Wei destroyed Zhou, Chu was in contact with the other party.

The demise of the Zhou State, although the Wei State made a grand contribution, but the credit of the Chu State could not be ignored.

The first military exchanges between the two countries began very early.

In recent years, out of the need to resist the barbarian alien races in the west, the two countries of Chu and Wei have never stopped small-scale military cooperation.

The two armies often joined forces to strike at the barbarian aliens.

It is precisely because of these successful examples in the past that Wei has invited Chu for many years, hoping that the two sides can carry out a major military alliance.

Come to the thunder sweep and completely solve the hidden dangers in the west.

As for official diplomatic contacts, that's even more.

Once a year, diplomatic envoys were dispatched, Lu Yuan and Emperor Wei exchanged letters, gave gifts to each other, and the high-level friendship between the two countries was too numerous to mention.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, there are close ties in the three major aspects of economy, military, and politics, and the two countries of Chu and Wei, which have friendly exchanges, do not look like they will meet each other in arms.

This is unreasonable, and it has no warning at all.

What good can the state of Chu do against the state of Wei?

Just Nanyang and Henan two counties, these two Zhongzhou places?

Yes, these two counties are located in Zhongzhou, and the land is fertile, and they are good enough to rely on the foundation of the hegemony.

But compared with these two small counties, isn't the territory of the dozen or so counties in Liang Kingdom more tempting?

If you fight Wei, you will be desperately resisted by the third most powerful country in the world, and whether you can fight it in the end is unknown.

But if you fight the Liang State, then not only the Wei State will follow, but also the Zhao State, the Xu State, the Tang State in the north, and even the Zheng State will not be able to help but send troops together.

Don't doubt it, with the appeal of the Chu State, as well as the jealousy and greed of the surrounding countries for the Liang State to dominate a state, this is completely possible.

And as long as it is done, it will be a six-country attack on Liang led by Chu State, Wei, Zhao, Xu, Tang, Zheng and other countries.

There are six hegemonic countries to besiege and beat a Liang country, just thinking about it makes people's blood surge.

In the face of the siege of the six hegemons, there is no doubt at all whether the Liang State can hold on, and it is an ironclad defeat.

At that time, all countries will unite and carve up the Liang State together, and each other will be able to take three or five counties, isn't this more fragrant than you and a Wei State smashing the two counties of Zhongzhou?

In fact.

On the Wei side, there has always been this kind of voice on the playground, so that the Chu State stood up and led all countries to hurt the European Liang State.

This voice grew louder with the alliance led by the Wei State, the amount of food failed, and after returning from a fiasco.

In the past, Wei thought of being the leader of the alliance, and gradually gained benefits and prestige by attacking the Liang State, and slowly suppressed the Chu State and became the second largest country in the world.

Therefore, at that time, the Wei State was full of confidence and enthusiasm, and sent envoys to various countries as lobbyists every year, inviting them to participate in the alliance and attack the Liang State.

At that time, the Wei State could be described as infinitely beautiful.

A meeting alliance was born under their promotion, and over the years, it has indeed achieved results.

For example, Zhao captured Dongjun and Xu captured Le'an County, all of which were achieved under the alliance of Wei.

It's just that this Warring States belongs to allies, and Wei, as the leader of the alliance, didn't get any benefits, just paid purely and lost money to make money.

This kind of thing that is not of much benefit naturally causes many people in Wei to be dissatisfied, thinking that the Eastern Expedition to Liang is not beneficial at all.

It's just a pure waste of national strength to send their own soldiers to death.

However, many people believe that now is the critical moment for the prosperity of Wei's hegemony, and after several alliances, various countries have gradually recognized Wei's Zhongzhou hegemony.

Especially Zhao Xu Erguo, who followed the benefits, became the little brother of Wei State faintly, and led by Wei State everywhere in the world, as if he only listened to the posture of the eldest brother.

And the two younger brothers united by Wei, the three kingdoms have formed an alliance, and in terms of strength and volume, they have become the first camp in Kyushu.

Even if it is as strong as the Liang State, in the face of this Triple Alliance, it is also at a disadvantage.

In this case, as long as Wei can continue to maintain, attract more countries to join this alliance, and further expand its hegemony.

Then when more countries join the alliance and the alliance accumulates to a certain extent, of course, it can rely on its strong strength to defeat Liang and seize Zhongzhou.

At that time, as the leader of the alliance, Wei State, as the leader, should be able to grab the greatest fruits after this victory.

Therefore, the current hardship is for greater gains in the future.

This is a century-old plan that must not be abandoned.

In this way, in the court of the Wei State, one faction advocated withdrawing troops, and the other faction advocated insistence, and they were opposed to each other.

Today's Emperor Wei saw this, so when he was on the throne, he couldn't wait to launch a big battle of the Three Kingdoms attacking Liang.

You want to defeat Liang and seize a territory.

This is to appease the hearts of the people in the country who have gradually been divided.

As long as the war is won, this not only maintains the war, but also benefits the Wei State, which can be said to take care of the interests of both parties, and makes the cake bigger, which is enough to soothe people's hearts.

But a fiasco made all this go down the drain.

It also made Wei realize his weakness and inadequacy, and gradually woke up from the dream of the overlord of the world.

At the same time, Wei saw that Chu was silent, and with just one move to cut off food, he would defeat the Three Kingdoms, and the Liang State, which was in full swing, caused a big domestic chaos and almost collapsed.

A perfect operation instantly made Wei clearly realize the gold content of Chu State, the second hegemon in the world.

What about other places in Chu State, let's not talk about it first.

This financial resources alone are enough to be proud of the world.

What is the war fought?

What is beaten is money and food.

The state of Chu has money and food, and at the same time, the country has been peaceful for 30 years, and the population does not know how much.

If there is money, food and people, isn't that just an innumerable number of soldiers and horses?

As long as Chu State makes a move, it is difficult to say whether it can win against Liang State, but it should be no problem to fight with Liang State, or to be comparable in a short period of time.

And as long as the State of Chu can carry the main force of the Liang State, then there are countries like Wei, Zhao and Xu around to steal from behind, and only rely on those weak brigades in the rear of the Liang State, how can they be the opponents of the alliance of the three countries?

At that time, the main force of the Liang State is far away from the front line, and the rear of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Xu will steal the house, and this small Liang State will not be destroyed!

As long as the Liang State can be destroyed, even the Chu State, as the leader of the alliance, will have to eat the big head.

But Wei Guo followed the troops and contributed, coupled with his own status, how could he get two or three counties of territory from Liang State, right?

Although this seems to be a little little, it has more than doubled the territory of Wei in Zhongzhou.

Compared with the previous efforts for more than ten years, there has been no big gain, and it is already a big success.

Therefore, the proposal to pull the Chu State into the alliance and elect the Chu State as the leader of the alliance has always become the mainstream consensus in the country after the fiasco of Wei Changyuan five years ago.

In the eyes of many Wei people, this invitation to Chu to conduct a large-scale joint military operation was a rehearsal for the alliance and cooperation between Chu and Wei in the future.

Therefore, for this action, Wei State is very important.

So after the two countries went out of the fortress, they saw that the state of Chu was in the limelight in the Yongxi River, while he was frustrated again and again on the grassland, and his progress was slow.

Wanting to show his value and increase his bargaining chips for inviting Chu in the future, Wei began to rise up.

First of all, in March, Meng Chenglin, the general of the Wei State, abandoned the rear team and led the main force deep into the grassland to raid the Black Water City of the Fire Tura State.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous move, and if you are not careful, hundreds of thousands of troops will be trapped in the grassland, and there will be no place to die.

But in the same way, this is also a clever way to break the game.

As long as it can succeed, it will not only be able to solve the current predicament, but it may also be able to destroy the Fire Tura Kingdom in a war and achieve the greatest results of the Western Expedition.

In fact, he won the bet, or half of the bet.

The 500,000 Wei army led by Meng Chenglin did successfully break through the blockade and interception of the Huotura Kingdom and hit the capital of the country, Heishui City.

It's just that although it successfully hit the opponent's capital, the Wei army's attack on Blackwater City was not very smooth.

The reason is simple.

Because in the vicinity of Blackwater City, the Fire Tura State has also gathered 300,000 main forces, and is preparing to launch another round of counterattacks and harassment against the Wei State.

One on both sides wants to raid, the other wants to counterattack, and at the same time the main forces converge.

At this time, he met next in Blackwater City, and he was destined to hit the dog's brain.

In all fairness, as the third most powerful country in the world, as long as the Wei army undergoes systematic training, the quality of the army it has cultivated is indeed not bad.

The 500,000 main forces gathered by Meng Chenglin can be described as the most elite force in the Wei army.

When he led this elite raid to Blackwater City, he fought with the Fire Tura Army under Blackwater City, and instantly gained a great advantage.

The elite main force of the Huotuluo army, in a head-to-head battle, was not the opponent of the Wei army at all.

Not to mention, their main force gathered, and it was only 300,000 people.

And the Wei army, there are 500,000 people over there.

One is more elite and has more people, the other has lower combat power and fewer people, and there is no suspense at all about who wins and who wins when the two sides fight.

Under the strong attack of the Wei army, the Huotuluo army was defeated again and again, losing 100,000 soldiers, and it was not an opponent at all.

What about Wei Jun's side?

Although they won consecutive battles and broke countless enemies, they were also very uncomfortable.

Because of the Huo Tuluo army, after discovering that in the head-to-head confrontation, he was not the opponent of the Wei army.

People simply don't fight with you.

The remaining 200,000 Huotuluo troops, after losing several battles in a row, retreated directly into Blackwater City.

Then with this fortified city, it will be directly fortified, and you will be hard to wear down the Wei army.

How difficult is it to fight a fortified city that is well-repaired, well-fed with money and food, and has a strong garrison?

Just look at the state of Chu beating Daliang City.

Lu Yuan led an army of three million to besiege Daliang City, but in the face of this fortified city with only more than 600,000 defenders, he fought for more than a month and failed to break the opponent's outer defense line.

Not to mention capturing Daliang City, he didn't even break through the outer barracks and touch the edge of the city.

In the end, because of various things in the rear, he had to retreat from the food, and temporarily ended the offensive and defensive battle of the beam.

Although Blackwater City is only a grassland city, and its scale and defense are far inferior to those of Daliang, as a hegemonic capital, there is still a configuration that should be there.

200,000 Huotuluo troops are holding this city, and Meng Chenglin has only more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't beat them with his head.

Therefore, in the siege of the city, the Wei army lost more than 100,000 soldiers, and the morale of the army was shaken, and it failed to capture Heishui City.

On the contrary, it was the Huotuluo army in Heishui City, with the arrival of King Qin's soldiers and horses gathered from all sides on the grassland, the number became more and more, and gradually overwhelmed the Wei army, reaching 400,000.

And Meng Chenglin's department, after experiencing successive losses, only has more than 300,000 left.

And these 300,000 people, the morale of the army is shaken, the soldiers are tired, the morale is low, the logistics are also cut off, and they are facing the dilemma of supply shortage.

The drawbacks of the trick are revealed.

Meng Chenglin led the army to raid Blackwater City, which certainly had a miraculous effect, and greatly shocked and shook the Huotuluo army.

But again, after he failed to quickly take the city, perhaps the supplies in the city.

The raid headquarters led by him was also surrounded by the Huotuluo army and cut off from logistics.

At this time, even if he wanted to retreat, under the watchful eye of hundreds of thousands of Huotuluo troops, in the hinterland of the other party, he would not be able to do it at all.

What happened to his soldiers and horses, there has been no news since then.

Just news from the steppe.

The 500,000 troops in the rear abandoned by Meng Chenglin, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, were frantically attacked by the Huotuluo army after the main force was withdrawn.

In the end, more than half of the nearly one million people in the department were directly killed and wounded, and after the remnants retreated to the Wei State, they were directly captured by the Chu army that had already taken Guannei County, and all of them became prisoners.

Yes, became a prisoner of the Chu army.

After Meng Chenglin went deep into the grassland, Huang Xin summoned Lu Yuan and asked the deity to launch the Northern Expedition.

As the first doppelganger to sense the time has come, he reacts quickly.

After knowing that the main force of Wei would not be able to return in a short time, Huang Xin decisively gave up the land of Helong that he had just conquered, led his troops back, and launched a surprise attack when Wei was not the slightest defense.

After leaving a million people as a reserve force to defend Hanzhong, the remaining 1.4 million troops went directly into Guannei County.

Then, after being drained of a million elite main forces, Shuofang County divided another 400,000 northern Xinjiang army to guard against the barbarians who moved south to Yanzhou.

As the imperial capital of Guannei County, there are only 100,000 Wei troops left to defend, and there are only three innate grandmasters left.

100,000 against 1.4 million people, and 10 against 3 people.

With such a big disparity, there is still a mental calculation and no intention, and there is no defense at all.

You tell me how to fight?

In fact, it can't be fought at all.

When the monarchs and ministers of Wei in Chang'an City received the news that the Chu army suddenly turned against each other and more than 1 million troops were killed in Guannei County, everyone was stunned.

Then the confusion was followed by extreme panic.

Anger, fear, fear, panic......

All kinds of emotions and all kinds of scenes are staged in turn in the court.

Then under the threat of the Chu army's continuous advance, even if he was unwilling and angry in his heart, the monarchs and ministers of Wei had to make a painful decision, Dongjiao.

However, this decision has only just been made.

There was an urgent report from Nanyang.

The Chu army suddenly crossed the river and launched a surprise attack on the Wei army in Nanyang County.

The Chu army was on the offensive, and the number of people was even more incalculable.

It has only been a few days since the start of the war, and the soldiers have already reached the county town of Daoyang.

The defenders of Nanyang are only more than 200,000, and there are only three people in the innate, and they are not the opponents of the Chu army at all, so they urgently ask the imperial court to rescue.

Hearing this news, the monarch of Chang'an, who originally planned to hunt in the east, suddenly stopped.

The state of Chu not only sent troops from Hanzhong to fight Guannei County, but even Nanyang's side also made a move?

And looking at Nanyang's report, it seems that the Chu army there is more than the number of people here in Hanzhong County.

Think about it too.

Nanyang County is closer to Baling, the imperial capital of Chu State, and has the Han River and the Yangtze River as a waterway to transport grain, so it is naturally easier to mobilize a large army of soldiers and horses than Hanzhong, which crosses many mountains.

Therefore, the main force of the Chu army this time is in the east.

Guannai here, it's just a partial division.

After figuring this out, the monarchs and ministers of Wei hurriedly revised the plan.

The original East Hunt was immediately changed to the North Hunt.

The east is already a dead land, and the two counties of Henan and Nanyang combined are only 500,000 Wei troops.

This point of manpower, in the face of millions of Chu troops, is not worth much use at all, and even defense is extremely difficult.

Going there was just throwing yourself into the net and stupidly crashing into the encirclement of the Chu State.

However, Shuofang County in the north still has 400,000 elite main forces in northern Xinjiang, and it is connected to the grassland, so it can communicate with the more than 100,000 troops on the grassland nearby.

As long as the general Meng Chenglin can be contacted, let him lead the army back quickly.

Then after the two armies converged, there would be two million soldiers and horses, and more than ten congenitals.

At that time, if you go south and compete with the Chu army, you will have the strength to fight.
