Go to the mud horse!
It is said that if Qu Ping led the army, even if Xiong Wuliang was a little lazy, he would not dare to openly disobey military orders so frequently.
But this Zilan is different.
This Zi Lan is purely a waste.
Even if you give him eight courages, he won't dare to touch a hair of his own.
In addition, Zilan belongs to the Zhaoju sect and has long been on the same level as him, so it doesn't matter how much he offends her to death.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly and said goodbye.
…
"Did Xiong Wuliang solve the refugee problem?" Prince Mi Heng's pupils shrank and he was very shocked!
Tens of thousands of victims are no small matter.
How could Xiong Wuliang solve it so easily?
"It's just to benefit his fiefdom." Huang Xie said.
Mi Heng glanced at Huang Xie and said nothing.
…
When Xiong Wuliang returned to his tent, Zhao Hua was looking at a huge map in the tent and was silent for a long time.
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly, and Zhao Hua suddenly came back to his senses and turned around: "My lord."
"Is there any difficulty with General Fang Cai Lan?"
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand carelessly, indicating that it didn't matter: "Mr. Zhao is studying the battle situation?"
Zhao Hua nodded lightly: "Yes."
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "My lord, have you ever thought about where these more than 30,000 Qi troops came from?"
Xiong Wuliang was startled.
In real history, after Qi State annexed [Langya], it used Langya as the fulcrum to launch a large-scale invasion of Chu State in the Battle of Chuisha.
Now this war broke out several years earlier, mainly because Langya was still firmly controlled by Si Jing - logically speaking, it was impossible for Qi's army to cross Langya and appear on the land of Chu.
Even if a small group of Qi troops infiltrated through the mountains and forests, they should only be three to five hundred scouts.
It is impossible to sneak over 30,000 people!
Xiong Wuliang's face became serious.
If the movements of the Qi army are unclear, then no place in the Chu country can be safe. Therefore, the most important question at hand is how the Qi army appeared on the land of the Chu country.
Zhao Hua pointed at the map, and Xiong Wuliang's eyes widened.
"Song Kingdom?"
"Yes, it is the Song Dynasty - to be precise, it should be the Song Dynasty's [Fuli Sai]."
[Fulisai] is an important military town on the border between Chu and Song. It is stuck to the north of Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom [Shansang] and can be regarded as the only passage between Chu and Song.
Xiong Wuliang was a little unbelievable——
"What Mr. Zhao means is that the Qi army took advantage of the Song Dynasty, passed through [Fuli Fortress], and finally appeared at the border of the Chu Kingdom?"
Zhao Hua nodded: "Exactly."
Xiong Wuliang frowned——
It shouldn’t be!
The Song State, like the Yue State, was sandwiched between the two great powers of Qi and Chu, serving as a buffer zone between the two great powers.
It was entirely by virtue of neutrality and playing both sides that the Song Dynasty survived in the cracks between these two great powers.
The population of the Song Dynasty was only one million, and there were only 30,000 to 50,000 armored men. However, the commerce was prosperous and the people were prosperous... Due to the mutual constraints between Qi and Chu, they had not fought any major wars for decades.
The way to survive in the Song Dynasty was to be neutral.
How come you suddenly favored Qi State now, and even took advantage of Qi State to help Qi State attack Chu?
Zhao Hua said in a deep voice: "No matter what the Song Dynasty thinks, it is definitely a fact that the Qi Kingdom borrowed the road from the Song Dynasty."
"But... the Qi army used the Taoist talisman to leave the fortress and go deep alone. This is also a God-given opportunity!"
…
…
Jiang Yu, the pioneer general of the Qi Kingdom, held a sharp iron sword and chopped off a head neatly.
Blood splashed out, and Jiang Yu coldly shook the blood drops on his sword.
"Hang this man's head above the city gate to warn those Chu people - this is the result of stubborn resistance!"
"No!" The two soldiers received the order loudly, picked up the blood-stained human head on the ground, and went straight to the city gate.
This head is the magistrate of Languang County in Chu State.
Thirty thousand Qi troops swept in, and most of the Chu state bureaucrats abandoned the city and fled - but there were also local officials like the magistrate of Languang who ordered the city gates to be closed tightly and mobilized the soldiers and people in the city to resist to the death.
Under the city of [Lan Guang], the Qi army was held back for three full days.
You must know that Languang is just a small city with low walls and in disrepair, with only a hundred or so government officials available.
The magistrate of Languang County spent all his wealth and encouraged the Chu people in the city to arm themselves and defend to the death. He actually withstood the 30,000 Qi army armed to the teeth for three whole days!
He can be considered a talented person with backbone.
It's a pity that anyone who blocks our Da Qi army will die!
"General, the head of the Chu County Magistrate has been hung outside the city gate..." the soldiers reported back in a hurry.
They looked at Jiang Yu with undisguised expectation.
Jiang Yu waved his hand without thinking: "Go ahead, Sergeant Xu will plunder the city."
All the Qi soldiers surrounding the area were overjoyed and cheered: "Long live the general!"
Tens of thousands of Qi soldiers rushed into the streets and alleys of the city, and rushed into the homes of residents like wild beasts. Soon, the screams of Chu people, the sound of swords piercing bones, the voices of women begging for mercy, and the excited howls of Qi soldiers were heard. The cry spread throughout the city...
For Jiang Yu, he did not feel any sympathy for these sounds.
Attacking all the way, the Qi army has captured nine county towns in succession.
After every city he captured, Jiang Yu would indulge his sergeants in killing and looting - so although the Qi army had been marching and fighting at high intensity, they still maintained extremely high morale.
Jiang Yu leaned on his head and began to think deeply.
One month ago, King Tian Pijiang of Qi personally inspected the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. Then the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms divided into two groups and attacked [Yiyang] and Chu State under the control of Qin State respectively.
King Qi's original plan was to capture Langya first, and then use Langya as a fulcrum to attack the Chu mainland.
As a result, Langya could not be attacked for a long time.
The Chu State is now weak, so we can't wait too long!
After Qi Wang Tian Bijiang became angry, he sent an envoy to the Song State - I don't know whether he used coercion or inducement. In short, the Song State finally agreed that the Qi State army would use Daofu to leave the fortress and attack the Chu State.
Ten days ago, Tian Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the 150,000-strong Qi army, issued an order - with Zuo General Jiang Yu as the vanguard general, he would lead 30,000 Qi troops, pass through Fuli Fortress, and attack the Chu mainland!
Tian Zhen's intention was to send 30,000 Qi troops to test first to see how the Chu army would respond. The main purpose was to spy on the location of the main force of the Chu army.
After the follow-up movement of 120,000 Qi troops comes up, they will then fight the Chu army decisively.
…
With the mentality of giving it a try, Jiang Yu's 30,000 leading troops passed through Fuli Fortress at night and attacked the two Chu county towns of [Changshui] and [Zhucheng].
The result turned out to be surprisingly smooth.
After capturing the two cities, Jiang Yu did not advance rashly, but ordered the city defenses to be reinforced, ready to meet the Chu army's counterattack at any time.
It stands to reason that after the initial confusion, the Chu State would become angry and madly counterattack, attacking the 30,000 Qi army under Jiang Yu's command with superior strength.
However, after waiting for several days, scouts and sentries were spread all over the area for hundreds of miles, but no trace of the Chu army was found at all.
It seems that the Chu people have given up on regaining the two cities that were taken away by Qi.
Jiang Yu was greatly surprised.
Um?
Are these Nanman Chu guys so spineless?
After struggling for a long time, Jiang Yu decided to tentatively continue to attack south——
My day?
Where are the Chu army members?
