Xiong Wuliang spread his hands: "How can I have the intention to joke with you?"
"Our State of Chu and State of Qi are already at odds with each other. Last year they fought a war and the people north of the Huai River were massacred by the Qi people. This revenge must be avenged!"
"Mi Liang will definitely help Le Qing in this battle!"
Le Yi was confused!
Your king said that you should decide whether to send troops or not... He is clearly passing the blame! Can't you see it?
Having said that, how many troops can you, the Marquis of Quyang, have in your hands?
The minimum is three to five hundred, and the maximum is two or three thousand.
What are you here for? These few people are not enough to fill the gaps in the battlefield. To put it bluntly, if you bring too few people, in the event of a war, Yan State will have to send a thousand-man team to protect you, Xiong Wuliang.
Le Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Qi State is powerful after all. Your private soldiers... maybe forget it."
Xiong Wuliang smiled angrily!
Blanch!
Aren't you here to ask Chu State to join? I, Xiong Wuliang, helped you argue your case in the political palace, and finally won the approval of the King of Chu to send troops to collect the loot... No, I am helping the Yan Kingdom...
Now you are backing off again, right?
You kid looks down on me, right?
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "No! I have always been eager for justice and love justice. I have decided on this battle!"
Le Yi was happy, thinking that Qu Yanghou was a young man after all, so what if he had won a great battle? After all, he is really a fool.
"May I ask, sir, how many troops can be dispatched?" Le Yi asked in a deep voice.
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and said confidently: "Tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"
Le Yi stopped and burst into laughter.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
That's not the way to brag, right?
You, a small vassal of Chu State, can have tens of thousands of troops? I'm afraid your entire fief may not necessarily have 10,000 people... If you really can recruit 10,000 people, I will eat the case in front of me on the spot!
Le Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Xiong Wuliang, and said bluntly: "Okay! In that case, this time the alliance attacks all, and the king will be included!"
"Our five-nation coalition has assembled in [Jixi], with a total of 500,000 troops!"
"The Chu State is too far away from the gathering place of the allied forces, and it is not bordering the gathering place...there is no need to go to Jixi to join forces - just send troops directly from the Chu State and do whatever you want."
Xiong Wuliang understood——
Le Yi, this kid, even looked down upon himself and felt that he could not afford much troops, so he was too lazy to let his private army join forces with the Five Nations Allied Forces.
Therefore, Le Yi simply ignored his 'Chu Army' and let his Chu Army do whatever they wanted - fight if they wanted to, and it didn't matter if they didn't want to fight and live in peace. If they really wanted to fight, they would fight wherever they wanted. Just hit wherever you go.
In short, it's just one sentence - I don't care about you, so don't get in the way.
In fact, this plays into Xiong Wuliang's intention!
The coalition forces were tied up in a war. If Le Yi ordered him to fight a tough battle, Xiong Wuliang would still feel sorry for his sergeants.
A lone army can fight however they want. Not only is it free, but the risk is very small.
Thinking of this, Xiong Wuliang smiled and said: "Okay, just what General Yile said!"
After that, Xiong Wuliang fumbled in his arms for a moment, pulled out a map, and unfolded it: "Since the coalition forces are attacking Qi, since our Chu State has also sent troops, we must be given a piece of land, right?"
In real history, although Chu State did not participate in the Five Kingdoms' conquest of Qi, it took advantage of the opportunity and took advantage of Qi State's inability to fight back, and took back Huaibei, which was taken away by Qi State in the "Battle of Chuisha". place'.
However, in this timeline, Chu State won a complete victory in the 'Battle of Chuisha' and was not taken away from the 'Land of Huaibei' by Qi State.
So if the Chu State sends troops, it will always get a piece of land, right?
You Leyi, on behalf of Yan State, are sent to Chu State as an envoy, so you must have the decision-making power - I, Chu State, will send troops to attack Qi, which piece of land are you going to give me?
Le Yi looked at the serious Xiong Wuliang and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart!
Do you really think of yourself as a person?
How many troops can you send? Also thinking about getting some land back to Chu State?
You see, the Qin State, although it had just finished the civil war and was severely weakened, it still sent out a total of fifty thousand troops to divide Qi State's "Tao Yi".
Zhao, Wei and Han sent a total of 250,000 troops to divide up a large area of Qi State's land west of Jishui.
How many people can your Chu country produce?
If you, Xiong Wuliang, only have 1,800 people under your command, do we, the Yan State, have to give you a piece of land?
What nonsense.
Although Le Yi was disdainful, he did not show it. Instead, he smiled faintly: "Since the soldiers under the lord's command do not fight together with the coalition forces, but do their own thing... then Le Yi will make the decision!"
"As long as it is the land of Qi State that was captured by Chu soldiers under the command of the king, it will all belong to Chu State!"
"Of course...if Junhou has nothing to gain, there is nothing Le can do."
…
Xiong Wuliang was happy.
I just like your unruly look!
"All the land occupied is Chu territory? Does General Le mean what he says?" Xiong Wuliang chuckled.
There was no trace of emotion on Le Yi's face: "Although Le is not talented, he is also the Yaqing of the Yan Kingdom - he naturally means what he says."
"As long as Marquis Quyang is strong enough and conquers as much land as he conquers, the Kingdom of Chu will occupy as much land! If the Marquis of Quyang is really capable and can conquer the entire Qi Kingdom in one breath... then our five-nation coalition's journey will be in vain!" Le Yi said with a big hand. Hui, very heroic.
…
Xiong Wuliang walked out of Leyi's post house and felt refreshed.
The Battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qi was one of the major battles with the most far-reaching influence during the Warring States Period.
Now I have begun to have the strength to participate in such a major historical event!
This important military event cannot be delayed.
Xiong Wuliang said goodbye to the King of Chu and the prince overnight, and led Zhong Hua and a group of soldiers back to the fiefdom as quickly as possible.
Feng Feng Huo Huo returned to the Hou Mansion, summoned Qu Yuan and Zhao Hua, and explained all the matters regarding their trip to Yingdu. The two looked at each other in shock.
"Allied forces to attack Qi? This Yan country has such ambitions!" Qu Yuan sighed greatly.
"If the whole country of Qi mobilizes, they can form an army of at least 600,000! The outcome of this coalition's attack on Qi is yet to be determined..."
As Qu Yuan spoke, he couldn't help complaining: "My lord, you are reckless this time!"
"There are only ten thousand 'Quyang New Army' in the fiefdom. If they are all lost in this battle, it will be really debilitating..."
"If the coalition forces fail to win, and when the Qi Kingdom comes back with revenge, Zhaoju will definitely insist on handing you over to apologize... What should we do then?"
Xiong Wuliang put his hand on his forehead and finally understood why King Chu Huai didn't want to see Qu Yuan.
This guy, talking is so annoying!
Although everything he said was true.
But this determined preaching look really made Xiong Wuliang worried.
This battle hasn't even started yet, so I don't know how to say more auspicious words!
Zhao Hua disagreed with Qu Yuan's words and said with a smile: "That's wrong - the coalition forces have gathered half a million people. Even if Qi can win this battle, it will definitely be severely damaged after this battle... and there will be no spare strength. Are you going to ask our king to punish you?"
"Although the Lord has a small number of people under his command, only 10,000 people, this is also the advantage!"
“If there are few people, they won’t be taken seriously!”
"The main force of the Qi State must be placed west of Jishui to fight the decisive battle with the five-nation coalition... No matter whether they win or lose the decisive battle, the Qi people on our side will definitely have an empty defense... Our Quyang New Army can take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit The benefits, isn’t it beautiful!”
Xiong Wuliang applauded!
Zhao Hua, you are really the sixth person!
Perfect for my taste!
