"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhongqing is flat."

The capital of the state of Chu.

The Empress of Chu State, wearing a hot golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair in front of the main hall.

Jet-black hair is raised high,

With a cold gaze, he stared at the civil and military officials in front of him.

The eunuch's sharp voice shouted loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

According to the custom of the daily morning pilgrimage,

Many ministers first explained the recent events.

Towards the end,

A person walked out, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty the cavalry, I recently got the news that the Qi State sent 80,000 troops, led by Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, and went south together with the Wu State to attack the Yue Kingdom. ”

The voice fell,

Many ministers frowned.

A short-tempered general said bluntly: "Isn't the Qi State too arrogant recently, and their hands have reached the Yue Kingdom, is it possible that they think that they have won the Zhao State by luck, and really think that they are invincible in the world?" ”

The actions of the State of Qi in recent months have long aroused the dissatisfaction of the monarchs and ministers of the State of Chu.

After all, it is thousands of miles away from Qi and Wu Yue.

On the contrary, the state of Chu and Wu and Yue both have land bordering.

As a result, every day, you send troops to your own doorstep.

Isn't it too inattentive to the Chu State.

And according to the current situation of the Qi State, if it really annexes Wu and Yue, it will extend its hand to the Jiangdong region.

At the gate of the Chu country, wouldn't there be another strong neighbor.

Another general came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Qi State has been acting more and more unscrupulously recently. ”

"This time, he is even more delusional in annexing Wu Yue and stretching out his hand in front of the Great Chu Gate."

"I implore Your Majesty to allocate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the last general, and the last general will definitely let this Qi army have no return!"

The voice is impassioned and full of confidence.

This is the glory accumulated by the Chu State in the southern and northern wars for hundreds of years, which has brought them confidence.

Chu Yuyi, the empress of Chu State, did not speak, leaned on the dragon chair and closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Half an hour later,

Chu Yuyi opened his mouth and said: "The Qin army on the front line of Pingyu, has there been any change recently? ”

Ling Yin Sun Shuao replied: "The Qin army has always defended itself and refused to fight, and I heard that the Qin general Wang Jian is in the camp every day, with his soldiers throwing stones and jumping long, and his behavior is extremely strange. ”

For Qin Jun's behavior, the court of Chu State was also full of helplessness.

Year

The Qin army sent 200,000 troops to attack the state of Chu.

Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State, led his army to resist and successfully defeated the Qin army.

now

The state of Qin made a comeback.

And this time, the whole country poured its strength, a total of 600,000 troops, led by Wang Qian.

When you go on an expedition,

The Qin army was violent, and it looked like it was going to swallow the Chu State.

As a result, after the army arrived in Pingyu, they directly set up camp.

Say nothing and don't dare to take another step forward.

Faced with this situation,

The state of Chu can only mobilize a large army and confront each other in the past.

Now

The Chu army on the Pingyu front also had 500,000 people.

Combined, the two sides have more than a million troops.

On such a scale,

The amount of grain and grass consumed every day is completely astronomical.

So when Ling Yin's voice fell,

The Great Si Nong of the Chu State came out and said, "Your Majesty, since the Qin army has not moved, why don't we remove some of the soldiers from the front line?" ”

"The 500,000 troops on the front line eat and feed the horses every day, and consume countless grains and grass."

"If this goes on for a long time, the Chu State won't be able to hold on at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to object.

"No!"

"The Qin State is pouring in, if we withdraw the main force of the army, how can the Qin army miss the opportunity!"

"The 600,000 Qin army will attack with all their might, if the peace is lost because of the lack of soldiers, then the door of the Chu State will be opened, and the capital will also be exposed to the iron hooves of the Qin army."

Dasi Nong glared viciously at the man who objected.

If you don't belong to your home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

You say it lightly.

But do you know how much grain and grass is consumed every day when an army of 500,000 people eat horses and feed?

How many people need to be mobilized to transport grain to the front.

With so much labor wasted in the war, how many barren fields will be left uncultivated in the Chu State.

"Enough!"

Chu Yuyi said coldly: "I ask you, if it continues, how long can the surplus grain of the Chu State last?" ”

Da Si Nong gritted his teeth and replied, "It can last for two and a half years at most." ”

Chu Yuyi said with a condensed face: "Pass the order to General Xiang to withdraw 100,000 people from the front line, 400,000 against 600,000, although the number is inferior, but the defense is more than enough." ”

"In this way, we can also save some grain and grass, which is enough to support for three years."

"As for Wu Yue's side, ignore it for now."

"The country of Qi is more than 2,000 miles away from the country of Yue."

"I don't believe it, Qi will be stupid enough to make a wedding dress for Wu Guo, and this time there must be other purposes for going south."

......

For more than a year,

The very active Qi State has obviously attracted the attention of many people.

Song.

Kaifeng City.

After this period of recovery,

It's back to some of its former prosperity.

It's just that there is still some distance from the peak of the past.

in the Royal Palace.

Wanyan was naked, bathing in the pool water.

The warm pool water is steaming hot.

Beside him, there were several exposed palace maids, serving Wan Yan Gou.

The pleasant expression on his face showed the happiness he was enjoying at this time.

Then

A eunuch hurriedly walked over, came to Wan Yan Gou, and said in his ear: "Official, there is another movement on the side of Qi Guo." ”

Hearing the word Qi Guo,

After finishing Yan Gou, he felt very disgusted.

"What happened to them?"

The eunuch replied: "The State of Qi sent 80,000 troops, together with the State of Wu, to launch an attack on the State of Yue. ”

Hearing is not hitting yourself.

Wan Yangou's furrowed brow soothed.

As long as it's not hitting yourself, it's whatever.

He beats whoever he beats.

"Okay, I know, you can go down."

.......

Zhao Guo.

Handan City.

Emperor Zhao's recent days have not been very good.

It's not that the standard of living has fallen.

Instead, he lost to Qi twice, and also paid a large amount of war reparations.

made this emperor of Zhao very unwilling.

Qi is not smooth,

The temper is also getting more and more irritable.

It's not,

Just now, because of a concubine, I accidentally bit a little harder.

Emperor Zhao was so angry that he directly asked people to drag her out and cut her down.

"Your Majesty, Guo Kai is out asking to see you." , a eunuch came in to report.

Emperor Zhao said impatiently: "Let him come in." ”

"Your Majesty, your anger hurts your body, and you should pay attention to the dragon body."

As soon as the person came in, Guo Kai said with a flattering face.

Obviously,

He had just come in and saw the tragic condition of the concubine.

"Something to talk about."

The Emperor of Zhao State, who was upright, spoke in a very impatient tone.

Guo Kai, who had already figured out the other party's temper, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen recently got a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?"

"The State of Qi sent an army of 80,000 to ......"

After listening to Guo Kai's report,

Emperor Zhao snorted coldly: "So what do you want to say?" Let me take advantage of the emptiness of the Qi country and attack again? ”

"Weichen didn't mean that, it's just that Qi Guo has been moving frequently recently, and he specially informed His Majesty."

"Humph!"

Emperor Zhao said angrily: "Speaking of which, I am angry, Lian Po and Li Mu are all pillars of the empire who have experienced a hundred battles and made outstanding achievements. ”

"How come it is that as soon as you meet the Qi country, it is like wilting, and you will lose your troops and generals."

Guo Kai, who didn't know anything about strategy, could only laugh in the face of Emperor Zhao's complaints.

After the other party finished complaining,

Only then did Guo Kaibei speak: "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose this time, you will not be able to fight back next time." ”

"I hope Your Majesty will not be angry and hurt the dragon's body."

"Weichen came this time, mainly because there is a treasure he wants to dedicate to His Majesty."

Hearing the word baby,

Emperor Zhao suddenly came to his senses: "What baby? ”

Guo Kai smiled sheepishly: "The treasure that Weichen specially bought from a caravan in the Western Regions, a orchid in the Western Regions, is hereby dedicated to Your Majesty." ”
