In early April, Xiong Wuliang's 10,000 Chu soldiers were ready to go.
When it comes to fighting Qi, every soldier has high morale.
Among the new soldiers in Quyang, many were refugees who escaped from Huaibei during the last war and were taken in by Xiong Wuliang at the foot of Xiapi City. The numerous blood debts caused by Qi State in Huaibei were still fresh in the minds of these soldiers. .
Now when it comes to attacking Qi, the soldiers are shouting with excitement without Shaohu's efforts to boost their morale.
Ten thousand soldiers are about to go to war, but there are no usual ceremonies such as sending off ministers and paying homage to generals that are customary for large armies...
Officially speaking, Xiong Wuliang's dispatch of troops to coordinate with the five kingdoms to attack Qi was due to the acquiescence of King Chu Huai rather than the royal order issued by King Chu Huai.
In other words, no matter what the outcome of the war, "Marquis Quyang sent troops" was only Xiong Wuliang's personal behavior, not the national will of Chu State.
It would be fine if we win... If we are defeated, then all the responsibilities will be borne by Xiong Wuliang personally - Zhaoju's 'compromise' plan is not without its viciousness.
But Xiong Wuliang didn't panic at all——
This battle must be won!
The main feature is a thigh hugging Le Yi - Yan Guo eats meat! Marquis Quyang followed and drank the soup!
In this timeline, there is not much deviation in the number of participants and the location of the decisive battle on both sides. The biggest difference from real history is that on the coalition side, 10,000 elite Chu soldiers under Xiong Wuliang's command participated in the battle...
Logically speaking, even if there is a butterfly effect, it should be more biased towards the victory of the coalition forces.
Shaohu sits on a chariot - this hairy-chested monster is now the commander-in-chief of Quyang's new army.
The eight hundred soldiers under Zhong Hua's command closely guarded Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot. Zhong Hua himself held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, standing personally on Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot.
On Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot, there was also Zhao Hua, a military advisor known for his cleverness and cleverness.
In this battle, Xiong Wuliang came out in full force!
…
When the new troops from Quyang arrived at Fuli Fortress, the Song Guards respectfully came out of the city to greet them.
He had long received news from the capital of the Song Dynasty [Shangqiu] - Marquis Quyang of Chu State led his troops to use the road to cross the border, and all the passes they visited were allowed!
"At last, I will pay my respects to Marquis Quyang!" The guard general of Song State Fu Lisei bowed deeply.
The attitude of the guard Fu Lizai was very respectful - the Song State is now the younger brother of the Chu State, and now that the younger brother has met the big brother, his identity and status can still be clearly understood.
"I wonder where you are going when you cross Fuli Sai?" The guard of Fuli Sai couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked a lot.
Xiong Wuliang replied casually: "Of course we are attacking Qi."
The guard general Fuli Se opened his mouth in surprise!
Attack Qi?
Although he had already made some guesses about the answer, when Xiong Wuliang confirmed it himself, General Fuli Sei still felt deeply incredulous!
That's Qi State!
One of the two most powerful countries in the world!
General Fu Lizai secretly looked at the large group of soldiers behind Xiong Wuliang, secretly estimated the number, and couldn't help but shake his head——
It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people.
For a vassal of the Chu State, the number of private soldiers is indeed exaggerated... but compared with the Qi State, these ten thousand people are too few!
Ten thousand people, challenge Qi?
What nonsense.
Giving away his head?
Could it be that Marquis Quyang, who is famous all over the world for "ten thousand defeats one hundred thousand", just relied on his record and thought he could defeat Qi with only ten thousand people?
All I can say is that he is brave.
The guard of Fulisai suppressed the doubts in his heart and said respectfully: "Marquis Quyang, my king is waiting for a banquet in Shangqiu. Please welcome the wind for the king."
Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Hua looked at each other, and Zhao Hua said softly: "My lord, you might as well go and have a look."
…
Zhaoju took the letter, opened it and read it, a smile full of meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, Xiong Wuliang sent troops!
"This Zhuzi really dares to challenge Qi State on his own!" Zhao Shu took the letter from Zhaoju's hand and after a quick glance, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhaoju narrowed his eyes, smiled coldly, and said confidently: "Xiong Wuliang relies on his cleverness and has always been arrogant. I just used some tricks, and he was indeed fooled."
A look of ecstasy appeared on Zhao Shu's face: "Qi is so powerful, how can a little Mi Liang provoke it? After this battle, Xiong Wuliang will definitely return defeated! I hope he can have his head chopped off like Xiong Wei go!"
Zhao Shu's deep-seated hatred for Xiong Wuliang was evident in his words.
His favorite legitimate son, Zhaokong, just stole Xiong Wuliang's car and killed someone in front of Xiong Wuliang's gate... but Xiong Wuliang took advantage of it and attacked him wantonly.
Zhao Kong is only eight years old! How normal it is for children to be ignorant! Why should we be familiar with children? ?
Why is it necessary to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this! Ruined a child's life!
As a result, Zhaokong is now insane. He can only roll on the bed every day and cannot even control his bowel movements... It's all Xiong Wuliang's fault!
Zhao Shu himself was reprimanded by the King of Chu for "not being able to teach his son well" and took away the position of Zuo Yin.
What made Zhao Shu even more devastated was that the position of Zuo Yin was finally awarded by the King of Chu to that bastard Quyang Marquis Xiong Wuliang...
Xiong Wuliang! You deserve to die!
I wish I could eat its flesh and sleep on its skin!
Zhaoju glanced at Zhaoshu and scolded him in a low voice: "Shuer, be careful what you say!"
"That's fine at home... Never say the words you just said outside!"
"Our king has a close friendship with Xiong Wei... Xiong Wei died for his country. Although he has died, he still has a high prestige in Dachu - you can scold Xiong Wuliang, but you must not insult Xiong Wei outside!"
Zhao Shu could not help but feel awe-struck, with a hint of fear in his heart, and respectfully replied: "My son has learned a lesson."
Zhaoju nodded, then stroked his beard, with a sinister smile on his face: "But you are right - Xiong Wuliang will never come back no matter what!"
"If he really returns in defeat, then he is lucky, and there is still a chance of saving a life from the defeated army..."
"What if he really wins?" Zhao Shu was panicking and couldn't help but ask.
Zhaoju laughed: "The main force of Qi's army must be in Jixi to confront the coalition forces. The defense on the southern front cannot be too tight... But that is Qi! Even if the defense is empty, it can at least accumulate tens of thousands of troops!"
"Why can that brat Xiong Wuliang win?"
"The 10,000 soldiers defeated the 120,000 Qi army in [Gaoping]. In the final analysis, it was a coincidence of the right time and place. I don't believe it. How could such a hearty victory with a small number of enemies be still possible in Xiong Wuliang's hands?" Can it be copied?"
"Besides, if he really gets lucky and wins by chance... his father will already have a plan in mind!
"This plan is enough to defeat him and kill him! His reputation will be ruined!" When Zhaoju said this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, with a cold and cunning light flashing in his eyes.
