Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Although the state of Chu stopped attacking, it still occupied several cities of the state of Tang.

However, the Tang Kingdom is now unable to recover these lost territories, and it is already good to be able to hold the remaining few cities in Huaicheng.

Just when the people of the Three Kingdoms thought that the war was over, there was a sudden huge movement in the north.

Zhao sent 300,000 troops and raided the northern camp of the Chu army, and the Chu army was defeated.

And the banner of Zhao's attack on Chu this time was that Qi and Tang asked for help, and Zhao was deeply disgusted by Chu's domineering, so he sent troops to attack Chu.

This banner of Zhao can be said to have once again drawn Qi and Tang into the war.

And Qi and Tang were no longer able to fight, but they could not refuse to admit the fact that they had not asked Zhao for help.

Although Zhao Guo did not agree in the end, he did not refuse, so there is no problem with Zhao Guo's banner at all.

The speed of Zhao's dispatch also shows that Zhao has been prepared for this matter for a long time, otherwise it would not have been possible to gather 300,000 troops so quickly without Chu noticing.

If you want to say that the most angry, it is naturally the Chu State.

Chu is the eastern hegemon of the Central Plains, and only Chu has attacked other countries, and no other country has ever attacked Chu.

Now Zhao's attack on Chu is the biggest challenge to Chu's hegemony.

However, although Chu State was angry at this time, it was also very uncomfortable.

Due to the burning of the chamber pavilion, nearly half of the grain and grass of the Chu State was lost, and it will take a lot of time to remobilize the grain and grass and adjust the deployment of troops.

"Ordered Xiang Feng, immediately rush to the north to lead the troops, and be sure to block the offensive of the Zhao army! When our army is mobilized, Zhao will definitely have to pay the price! "The king of Chu hated so much that his back molars were about to be crushed.

Originally, the attack on Qi Tang was nine out of ten, and it was even expected that Qi Tang would ask Zhao for help.

As a result, Zhao Guo had not moved, and his side did not take much advantage, and the box pavilion was suddenly burned, so that the army had to stop the offensive.

For this reason, the king of Chu executed hundreds of people at one time, making the court filled with the haze of death.

However, before the king of Chu could dissipate his anger, Zhao Guo suddenly attacked, which made the king of Chu thunderous.

"Prime Minister! How long will it take for our army to remobilize its grain and grass and army? King Chu looked at the prime minister and asked.

The elderly prime minister stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the king, it will take ten days to mobilize grain and grass, and it is estimated that it will take eight days to mobilize the army." ”

"Very well, you will take care of this matter yourself." King Chu nodded with satisfaction.

This attack on Qi Tang was proposed by the prime minister of Chu, so now that there is a problem, the king of Chu will let him solve it.

Speaking of which, this prime minister of Chu is actually a native of Tang State, and even served as an official in Tang State, but was later framed and fled to Chu State, and is valued by the current King of Chu.

At this time, the prime minister of Chu State arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to explain to the king. ”

"Say."

"No!" The prime minister of Chu raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, according to the news, the war on the Jin side has entered the negotiation stage, and the king can send someone to the Jin State to lobby for the use of troops against the Zhao State. ”

King Chu's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just a small Zhao State, do I still need the help of the Jin State in Chu State?" ”

"Great King, the national strength of the Zhao State has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and it has become a big problem for my Chu State and the Jin State."

"This time the Zhao State went south, Yichen guessed that victory was not its goal, its purpose was to weaken our Chu State. Therefore, I can't fight hard in the Chu State, it is better to pull the Jin State in order to preserve the strength of my Chu State. The prime minister of Chu State arched his hand.

The best thing about the king of Chu is to listen to the advice of his subordinates.

After listening to the prime minister's suggestion, he analyzed the pros and cons in his heart, and the king of Chu agreed to the matter.

No one expected that after the end of the original battle of Qi and Tang, the battle of Qi and Chu and Tang was extended, and then Zhao State was also involved.

As the State of Zhao also joined in, so did the State of Jin.

As soon as the Jin State mobilized troops and horses, the Song and Wei States, which had just ceased war with the Jin State, made another move, and it can be said that the Seven Kingdoms were all swept up in at once.

Of course, these are all later words, although the war is constantly expanding, but it is mainly the struggle for hegemony between the three kingdoms of Jin, Chu and Zhao.

······

And just when Zhao Guo went south to attack Chu State, Qin Yu had already returned to the vicinity of Cangxian County with his men and horses.

When the scout came back to report that Cangxian had not been harassed by the Chu army, Qin Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

Qin Yu has planted a lot of good things in Cangxian, and if this is occupied by the Chu army, it will be a big trouble.

Qin Yu looked at Gongsun Qi and said, "You take people to the mountain and bring the people back." ”

"No!"

Gongsun Qi immediately left the army with his men and horses and went straight to the distant mountain.

Qin Yu took the rest of the people and hurried towards Cangxian.

At this time, outside Cangxian County, Lao Huang was holding a wine jug in his hand, sitting at the gate of the city, looking into the distance, pouring himself one bite after another.

"The adult and the little one have been gone for so long, why is there no news at all."

Lao Huang's eyes were full of worry, he was loyal to Qin Yu, and he was also very worried about Gongsun Qi, although the two often quarreled, but they couldn't shake the family relationship.

"Alas! I should have gone with it in the first place, and now I don't have to sleep all nights. Lao Huang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, why didn't he fight with the adults to the end, so that he could follow.

Lao Huang wanted to go, not for the so-called meritorious service, but just to protect Qin Yu and Gongsun Qi.

At that moment, there was a slight tremor on the ground, followed by a rumbling sound.

"Lord Huang! The county lieutenant, they're back! The soldiers on the city wall shouted to Lao Huang under the city.

"I saw it!" Lao Huang saw Qin Yu and the others who were gradually clear, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Soon, Qin Yu and the others stopped at the gate of the city.

"My lord! You're finally back! Lao Huang ran towards Qin Yu excitedly.

Qin Yu turned over and dismounted, grabbed Lao Huang's neck and pressed it down, and said with a smile: "Hahaha! It's back! Cangxian is fine! ”

Lao Huang said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, there is nothing to do in Cangxian, the Chu army has retreated too fast, and there is no time to take care of us here." ”

"That's good!" Qin Yu let go of Lao Huang and patted Lao Huang's shoulder.

Lao Huang looked at the people behind Qin Yu, but he didn't see Gongsun Qi's voice, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.

Qin Yu understood at a glance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongsun Qi is safe and sound, just let him go into the mountain to pick up the people." ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie." Lao Huang was relieved.

Suddenly, Qin Yu saw the wine jug in Lao Huang's hand, and immediately said with a straight face: "Lao Huang, I asked you to guard the city, and you still drank wine." ”

Lao Huang's face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "My lord, there is no wine in it, it's water, it's water, I don't believe you smell it." As he spoke, he brought the wine jug to Qin Yu's nose.

Qin Yu smiled and pushed Lao Huang's hand away, and said with a smile: "I'm kidding you, where did we get the wine in Cangxian now, look at you nervous." ”

"Hahaha······"

Lao Huang's nervous appearance immediately caused everyone to laugh.
