Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly, holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand...
Don’t say that Xiong’s position changed too quickly.
After all, between countries, interests come first!
To paraphrase the teacher's contradiction theory again - before, Chu's main enemy was its powerful neighbor Qi.
But now the giant of Qi is dying, and the upstarts of Yan are aggressive.
The main contradiction became the conflict between Chu and Yan.
Xiong Wuliang would never sit back and watch Yan annex Qi and become a new powerful enemy on the border of Chu.
Don't look at yesterday, Chu State was still fighting side by side with the Five Nations Allied Forces...
But now, Xiong Wuliang's goal is to support Tiandi's position and accept Qi as the younger brother of Chu; at the same time, he can maintain the state of Qi and help Tiandi repel the ambitious Yan State.
However, all this can only be done in secret, and it is impossible for Xiong Wuliang to send troops to help openly.
Xiong Wuliang is not afraid of others saying that his position has changed too quickly - anyway, his unscrupulous reputation for not respecting martial ethics has long been spread.
The point is - the current Five-Nation Alliance is still fighting against Qi.
If he openly breaks away from the coalition camp and uses force to forcefully send troops to protect his fields... he will definitely attract a unanimous attack from the coalition forces.
Then there will be trouble.
…
Xiong Wuliang said in a deep voice: "The current situation is - the coalition forces have crossed Jishui, and Linzi is unsafe to defend."
"The most terrible thing is that after you take the throne, you have almost no available soldiers."
Tian Di's breath stagnated: "What should we do?"
He looked eagerly at his adoptive father, waiting for his advice.
Along the way, Tian Di watched Xiong Wuliang invincible and beat the Song Dynasty to the point where he couldn't find the north... Now he can be regarded as obeying Xiong Wuliang's words.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly and said firmly: "The four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Zhao and Han have no intention of destroying Qi."
"The only one who wants to destroy Qi is Yan."
"After the Battle of Jishui, the coalition forces will be satisfied with their respective land distributions and disperse - next, the only country you have to face is the State of Yan!"
Tian Di was overjoyed at first, then became depressed again, and said in despair: "Even if there is only Yan Kingdom, I will..."
Xiong Wu’s wisdom is at his fingertips: “The Yan Kingdom is nothing to worry about, it can be defeated by fighting!”
Tian Di's eyes lit up: "I would like to hear my adoptive father's plan!"
Xiong Wuliang: "We can't defend Linzi, so we have to abandon it. You have to defend here!"
Xiong Wuliang pointed his hand on the map, looked at Tiandi intently, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Jimo?"
This is a far enough retreat... It is equivalent to voluntarily giving up two-thirds of the country and retreating to today's Shandong Peninsula.
"Yes, it's Jimo." Xiong Wuliang said in a deep voice: "Stuck in Jimo, we can ensure that the peninsula is not lost... Jimo is close to the sea, and our country, Chu, can provide you with a steady stream of supplies from the sea."
"After you arrive at Jimo, you can declare your accession to the throne as King of Qi... Then, using your reputation as King of Qi, you can inspire the morale of the army and the people, and defend the city. There should be no serious problems in a short time."
"In Jimo City, there is a businessman from Qi named Tian Dan. He is a great talent... It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fight. Just leave everything to Tian Dan."
"As for what to do next, I will contact you. As long as you obey my orders, I will ensure that you repel the Yan State and become the master of Qi's resurgence!" Xiong Wuliang made the final decision.
After some deliberation, although Tiandi was still a little uneasy, he felt somewhat confident.
Xiong Wuliang summoned Huang Wu again and ordered the Qingyu Guards to escort Tiandi and go straight to Jimo.
"After arriving in Jimo, leave a few capable people around my son... to keep in touch." Xiong Wuliang told Huang Wudao.
Leaving a few Qingyu guards behind not only protects the personal safety of the field, but also means to continue to control the field.
Although he has the 'friendship' of an adopted father and adopted son, Xiong Wuliang does not dare to believe in human nature easily.
The necessary means must still be prepared.
Before Tiandi set out on the road, he held Xiong Wuliang's hand tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Father! You must contact me often!"
"I'm waiting for your instructions!"
"Qi State and Sheji all rely on the guidance of my adoptive father!"
After a reluctant farewell... Under the protection of the Qingyu Guards, Tiandi embarked on the road to [Jimo], looking back three times.
Qi State will continue the incense of Sheji in Jimo while accumulating strength...
According to Xiong Wuliang's plan, after Jimo survives for a period of time, under Xiong Wuliang's guidance, he will use Yan's mistakes to restore the country...
…
A few days later, news came one after another.
First of all, the coalition forces were disbanded as in real history. The armies of Qin, Wei, Zhao and Han each returned to their respective homes. Only the army of Yan continued to advance.
Secondly, the long-missing Prince Tiandi of Qi "luckily escaped from the clutches of Chu" and fled to [Jimo]. He then declared himself king and led Jimo's army and people to prepare for defense and prepare to meet the invading Yan army.
Then, the new king of Qi, Tiandi, actually appointed a little-known businessman Tian Dan as his general to take charge of Jimo's defense.
The Yan State made a large-scale eastward advance and attacked Jimo... but returned in vain.
Subsequently, the army of Yan State occupied other territories of Qi State and surrounded the isolated city of Jimo. It seemed that they were determined to survive this isolated city...
Everything is within Xiong Wuliang's plan!
Tian Dan sent letters several times with the help of Qingyu Guard, asking Xiong Wuliang for his plan to defeat the enemy. Xiong Wuliang's reply was also very simple: "Everything depends on Tian Dan!" '
'If you hold on firmly, there will be a solution! '
…
At the beginning of August, the war in Qi had calmed down, and it seemed that the battle of the allied forces to conquer Qi had come to an end.
Except for Jimo, the entire territory of Qi was divided and annexed - anyone with a discerning eye could see that even if Jimo continued to resist stubbornly, it would only delay its demise.
Yan also saw this, so he no longer attacked Jimo, but surrounded Jimo, and then began to digest Qi's land.
The countries participating in the coalition divided the land of Qi State, among which the State of Yan benefited the most... The original small and transparent State of Yan during the Warring States Period suddenly became the most powerful and largest first-class power.
The Chu State captured the land of Song Dynasty and incorporated it into its territory. At the same time, it occupied the land of Qinnan and implemented military management.
Considered the second biggest winner.
Pack up and get ready for class!
This time back to Yingdu, there are many wonderful stories...
Xiong Wuliang thought of the corpse whose identity had not yet been confirmed... he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and called out softly: "Huang Wu?"
The figure flashed, and Huang Wu, the commander of the Qingyu Guard, suddenly appeared in front of Xiong Wuliang and bowed deeply: "My lord."
Xiong Wuliang narrowed his eyes: "How is the investigation of the body in Fu Lizai?"
Huang Wu coughed dryly, lowered his head and said, "We haven't found out yet..."
Xiong Wuliang opened his eyes: "Huh?"
Huang Wu quickly puffed up his chest and added: "However, significant progress has been made!"
Xiong Wuliang snorted and said noncommittally: "Tell me about it?"
