Two hundred and forty-eighth chapter two parties
The Wuning fief is located in the heart of the western part of Chu State, only one Weizhou away from the King of Chu.
This is also why the King of Chu was shocked when Wu Ningjun turned against him. He was in his heart and his elbows and armpits changed!
Yue Chao is worthy of being a famous prince who was feared by the King of Chu. After raising an army, he rushed to the capital of the King of Chu, won seven battles and won seven times, and led twelve cities in a row, and entered Weizhou, forcing the King of Chu to panic and issue orders to the states to defend the king.
But at this time, the "Iron Armored Martial Soldiers" who had won every battle finally met their opponent.
On a battlefield, the martial arts parade, wearing iron armor, with exquisite martial arts skills and invincible skills, was finally blocked by a white torrent.
This elite soldier was wearing white rhinoceros armor, and five people formed a formation. With anger, a phantom of a strange beast appeared on the leather armor. It was the Bai family's white-eared elite soldier!
The elite soldiers have a battlefield for elite soldiers, and within a wider radius of dozens of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops are intertwined and fighting continuously.
The battle lasted until night, and both sides had to call out the gold and withdraw their troops.
Among the generals of the Chu State, the Bai family and Xiang family were the most prominent. This time, the commander sent by the King of Chu to resist Yue Chao was Bai Zhongzhao, the leader of the Bai family.
Inside the tent.
Bai Zhongzhao rose to the tent, pressed his knees and listened to the battle report:
"The army returned to the camp, and our side suffered more than 10,000 losses, and the enemy was between 5,000 and 6,000."
"Good!" Bai Zhongzhao heard this and was not worried but happy: "Although Wu Ningjun is strong, he is still inferior to the Southern Chu country. Therefore, once he raises an army, he will attack the capital... His invasion is like fire, and now he can be stopped, it is already a great charity!"
Another order was sent: "The central army has established a stable camp and ordered each battalion to take turns to attack, consuming the enemy. Starting today, avoiding large wars and fighting for small battles. If you can behead a hundred levels and have less than two hundred casualties, then you will be considered merit! Otherwise, you will be considered guilty!"
This is because of the great family and great business, and even if they are two and one, Nan Chu can hold on.
Although he is somewhat suspicious of war, Yue Chao is not an ordinary person. He is deeply aware of the "Fenglin Volcano" military strategy, and he is also a peerless general with the fourth level of military genre, so he has to be careful.
At this moment, a general of the Bai family hurriedly entered the tent: "The general... urgently reported! Zhicheng fell, Bai Luo died!"
"What?"
Bai Zhongzhao was shocked and couldn't help but fall a drop of ink as big as a bean on his hand holding the pen, dyeing it black.
...
Time goes a little further.
Weizhou, the capital of the King of Chu.
The current King of Chu is named Xiong Zhang, and he is a hero.
Now nine out of thirty years old, it is the time when it is young and strong. It is determined to reform, remove the power of the Southern Chu monarch's throne, and go north to compete for hegemony.
In the palace, a middle-aged man with a strong and powerful purple-eyed tiger forehead strode in. Other palace people quickly avoided the roadside and called him the Grand Sima.
The King of Chu intended to reform the military system, imitate the northern countries, and set up captains and generals in the army.
In the old system of Chu, Sima was the military commander, with township Sima and county Sima. The highest was the "Grand Sima" and the highest was the military commander in the country.
At this time, the State of Chu was at the middle of the reform. Although generals and lieutenants had appeared in the army directly under the royal family, the private soldiers of each vassal were still Sima.
Moreover, the highest general under the King of Chu was still called the Grand Sima and was in charge of military affairs across the country, equivalent to the "General".
"Minist Xiang Wuji, pay homage to the king!"
The Grand Sima entered the hall, bowed meticulously to Xiong Zhang, and then stood up.
The strong energy made Chu Wangzhang feel a little unbearable. He forced a smile at this time: "The Grand Sima is here, but has the Western wars come to an end?"
"No, it's just that Dongfang Zhicheng urgently reported that the emperor had passed through the border in Puxi, and defeated Qunshu. Now he gathered a large army to besiege Zhicheng and came to ask for help."
Xiang Wuji answered.
"Did Wu and Yue intend to join the war?" King Zhang of Chu was shocked.
"When the chaos in Chu, Wu Yue Wang Wujiu may have the intention to test, or maybe it is just a daily life for both sides of the throne..." Xiang Wuji said: "This is a problem of scabies. Compared with this, Panyun Mountain Gaoxuantong is suspected to be the remains of Daxia, which is a problem of elbows and armpits, while Wuning Jun Yue Chao is a major problem!"
"Not bad! But I have ordered the states to serve the kings, gathering 200,000 troops, and there is also a 100,000 army commander of the old general Bai on the front line, so he should be able to win!" Chu Wangzhang murmured.
"Your Majesty, Nan Ju report urgently!"
At this moment, an eunuch outside hurriedly walked forward with a clerk on his knees: "Zhicheng has been trapped! General Bai Luo died in battle! Qu Xujun has occupied Zhicheng!"
"What?"
Xiang Wuji narrowed his eyes and a light burst out from his purple pupils: "Boy Bai Luo, is it so useless?"
Look at this time, one after another, almost as soon as Zhicheng was surrounded and asked for help, it was broken in less than a day or two?
Although it was ancient times, it had many magical powers such as Taoism and Dharma, and the message was transmitted very quickly at any cost.
"Bai Luo is really a waste!" Chu Wangzhang was furious when he heard this and suddenly threw a jade paperweight: "I have lost my trust and entrusted the Eastern Portal, but I was defeated like this, losing my army and humiliating the country!"
He looked at Xiang Wuji again: "Didn't the Grand Sima still say a few days ago that the monarch of Puxi will have to deal with the monarch of Pu Shang, and ordered Bai Luo to stick to it, so how can he be safe?"
"I know the crime!"
I really can't refuse this. Xiang Wuji felt a little hurt in his face and bowed his head to apologize.
"What's the use of apologizing? What should we do now?" King Zhang of Chu asked.
"Zhicheng is a place of beauty. If you get it, you can get most of the southern verses. The eastern gate of Chu State is open, and you are afraid that the King of Wu Yue will be moved to move west... Fortunately, God gave a good opportunity, and it was raining plum blossoms, and the army could not move!"
Xiang Wuji said sternly: "Only the commander-in-chief army from the four states in the east will return quickly at any cost, summoning nearby lords to help, and then ordering the general who has been through the battle formation to be the general, and taking advantage of the time when Wu Yue has not yet established a foothold, he will regain Zhicheng!"
"The four states in the east are a hundred thousand troops... If they go, the king's capital will only have one hundred thousand, plus the old general Bai, only two hundred thousand, and there is Gao Xuantong in the south..." Chu Wangzhang just hesitated for a moment, and suddenly showed a sense of perseverance: "Now Zhicheng has become a big trouble, and I have decided to make up. Even if Gao Xuantong is in a devastating relationship with Manzhou, he must first break Zhicheng and keep the evil wolf out of the gate!"
"The king is wise, please lead the army in person!" Xiang Wuji asked for his order.
"Grand Sima? No! The Grand Sima still needs to preside over the defense of the Wangdu, how can he move lightly?" Chu Wangzhang immediately refused: "How about letting Wang Uncle Xiong Zhou lead the troops?"
Xiang Wuji's face darkened. He knew that the king did not want to see Xiang. The Bai family had too much military power. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Xiong Zhou is also a general, but!"
Xiong Zhou was a member of the royal family and was also an uncle of King Zhang of Chu.
Although the south was not as rituals and music as the Central Plains, it was not as afraid of the royal family. Xiong Zhou was a young man who went on a study tour and was a teacher at the general Fei family, asking for military affairs, and leading troops to fight after learning, and was invincible. Now he is a general of the second level of military strategist and the most capable person in the royal family.
The Fei family was also a general, with only the Xiang and Bai families, and they were more inclined to the royal family.
Xiang Wuji really thought about the State of Chu, feeling that Xiong Zhou was qualified and had enough power and strategy, and with the strong support of the Fei family, many of the Fei family's children were appointed as lieutenants and generals, especially the head of the Fei family. With him, his cultivation reached the level of the third level of military power. With him, he would escort and cooperate with the 100,000 army. As long as he rushed to seize Zhicheng before the Wu Yue army entered, he would not object anymore.
But for some reason, I still felt a little uneasy in my heart.
...
Wu Yue.
The weather was gloomy, as if the wrath of a king.
Yue Qing sighed, straightened her clothes and crown belt, and walked into the hall.
At this time, Wu Yue King's Hall was already full of people. Wu Jiu was in the throne. Looking at a document in his hand, he sneered: "Want to guard the West Gate for me? Hehe..."
The news that the Fengjun of Puxi attacked Pu Shang and captured Zhicheng naturally came.
Along with it, Duan Yu's memorial was also written by Duan Yu.
"Even if you can get off Zhicheng, what's the strength? Li Feng, immediately click the army and head to Zhicheng..."
Wujiu said in an orderly manner.
At the beginning, I just wanted to let Qu Xujun polish it, but I didn't expect that the other party would turn the world upside down without moving.
But at this time, it seems that it is a good opportunity for Wu Yue to advance westward?
"Master, no!"
Yue Qing took a deep breath and stood up.
"What are your opinions?"
Wujiu was very disappointed. After he enthroned the throne, was this loyal minister also alienated from the country?
Yue Qing closed his eyes painfully and thought of the words of the county magistrate named Guo Bairen yesterday: "Most of the fiefs of Yue are in the south. Wu and Yue advance westward. Even if there are benefits to the Yue family, the king will get ten, and the king will get one. If this continues, the domestic situation will reverse, the king's power will increase, and the king's power will decline, which will cause great harm to the country..."
These alone cannot impress Yueqing, but the leader of the Yue clan and the other two vassal kings were shaken. Guo Bairen even made benefits repeatedly and finally promised: "...If things are done, the lord will marry the lady of Yue clan as his wife!"
The marriage is nothing but empty talk, but you can agree first and then look at the subsequent development.
In this way, if Qu Xujun takes off, Nanju will have a place for Yue clan. If Qu Xujun is defeated and died, naturally there is no need to say anything else.
The thought quickly turned, and Yue Qing continued to say, "The reason why Qu Xujun sent troops this time was that he was invited by Bai Zhijun, who was attacked and had the right to make decisions on the spot. He had a memorial to prove it... They had no treason, so how could the king's army enter the territory of the vassal?"
It has to be said that the sea of corpses and blood in front were all fought in the territory of Chu, and Duan Yu also kept the three princes of Bai Zhi well, without killing one of them, nor invading Bai Zhi and other territories.
It is hard to say that it is "no mistakes".
When the army of King Wu and Yue passed through the border, it harmed the interests of the vassals.
In terms of limiting the power of the monarch, even if the other 61 kings of Wu and Yue hated Duan Yu, they must be consistent on this front.
Otherwise, if the vassals get something good, the king will covet it. How can it be?
However, Wujiu is the king's character after all. After all, he is determined by one thing and is tenacious: "I have decided my will, so there is no need to say anything more!"
"Report!"
At this moment, a minister quickly came to report: "The news has been found that the 100,000 troops of Nanchu were heading towards Zhicheng, and the leader was Wang Shuxiong Zhou!"
"Hundreds of thousands?"
Wujiu's face was slapped, and he was not counted as Fengjun. He mobilized all his commands, which was only 50,000.
This hesitation was immediately seen by Yue Qing and advised: "Since that is the case, the king can increase his troops to the mountain city of Puzhou to observe the future situation!"
Puzhou Mountain City, one of the same nature as Nanjuzhi City, is a barrier to the west of Wu and Yue.
Now that the King of Chu has sent a large army, he is full of momentum. What the King of Wu and Yue has to worry about is his own safety.
"Can!"
