Chapter 2000: The cunning Chi You
"The envoy of Qin harbors evil intentions? How could that happen?"
Princess Zhu Rong immediately exclaimed. In her opinion, both the Qin and Man families had a grudge against Liu Ji. It was a natural progression for the two parties to join forces, and they had no intention of harboring evil intentions in the Qin State.
"Why not?"
After Chi You asked a question, he sneered: "The Qin State asked us to send troops to Yizhou just to make Liu Ji feel threatened and transfer the Shu army in northern Jingbei back to Yizhou.
Once the Shu army really comes back, we will be the target of the Shu army, and Nanzhong will face hundreds of thousands of Shu troops.
The Qin State only paid some money, food and equipment, but asked the entire southern barbarians to bear the losses for the Qin army. Isn't this harboring evil intentions? "
"this……"
Princess Zhu Rong was speechless. Only now did she understand that there were so many ways in this.
"But brother, since you know that the Qin army has bad intentions, why do you still agree to the Qin envoy and form an alliance with the Qin state?" Princess Zhu Rong asked again.
"Brother Wei, as I said before, forming an alliance with the Qin army does not mean that we will send troops, and sending troops does not mean that we will fight Liu Ji. Qin wants to use our southern barbarians to contain the military strength of Shu, and we, the southern barbarians, can also use Qin to weaken Shu. .”
"How to use it?"
"Now that Qin's 100,000 reinforcements have successfully arrived in Jingbei, the gap in military strength between Qin and Shu and Chu is no longer as big as before.
Next, the two countries of Shu and Chu are still in the advantageous stage in Jingbei, but the advantage is no longer that great, and it may be difficult to determine the winner in a short time. "
At this point, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chi You's eyes, and he sneered: "If at this time, the entire Nanman army is dispatched to attack Yizhou, how do you think Liu Ji will react?"
"Isn't this just following Qin's will and taking the initiative to serve as a gunman?"
Princess Zhu Rong became even more confused, but Chi You did not explain, but continued: "Just tell me how Liu Ji will react."
After Zhu Rong was silent for a moment, he replied: "In order to ensure the safety of Yizhou, Liu Ji will probably suspend the strategy several times and transfer the main force Dong Jingbei back to Yizhou."
"Yes, although Jingbei is rich, Yizhou is Liu Ji's base camp. He will never allow Yizhou to be turbulent."
Chi You nodded, and then said: "But if our southern barbarians only send 30,000 troops to train in the Yinan area, make an offensive posture, but do not start a war, how do you think Liu Ji will react?"
After Zhu Rong pondered for a long time, he said: "With only 30,000 troops, it is not enough to threaten the safety of Yizhou, but with Liu Ji's fear of our southern barbarians, I am afraid that he will still send troops back from Jingbei, but the number is I’m afraid it won’t be too much, and the strategy for Jingbei will not be suspended.”
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Chi You showed a successful smile and said: "In the covenant, although I promised the Qin envoy to send troops, I did not stipulate how many troops to send, nor when to start the war.
Sending out 100,000 troops is sending out troops, and sending out 30,000 troops is also sending out troops. The war tomorrow is a war, and the war next year is a war.
Therefore, I only send a small amount of troops, even if I delay the war until next year, it is not a violation of the covenant. "
"I see."
Zhu Rong looked astonished and said: "You can get so many benefits from the Qin army without making any effort. My eldest brother is Gao... Ouch."
Before Zhu Rong finished speaking, Chi You knocked her head angrily, which made Zhu Rong almost burst into tears.
"Brother, did I say something wrong? Why did you hit me on the head?" Zhu Rong cried out with an aggrieved look on his face.
"snort."
Chi You snorted dissatisfied and said with an unhappy look on his face: "So in my sister's heart, my brother is this kind of person who is greedy for small profits?"
"Well, of course not."
Zhu Rong laughed sarcastically and quickly changed the subject: "Then what is brother's real purpose?"
Chi You looked like he hated iron and said helplessly: "Liu Ji will never give up Yizhou, nor will he give up the newly occupied land of Jingbei.
As long as our southern barbarians attack Yizhou, no matter how many troops we send, we will attract some soldiers from Shu to come back.
And if this speed can be grasped well, it can influence the situation of Jingbei war in a certain sense. "
Chi You said it all for the sake of saying it. If Zhu Rong still can't understand, then he is really a fool, and Zhu Rong is obviously not a fool.
"Brother, what you mean is to deliberately send a small number of troops and let Liu Ji transfer some of his troops back to Yizhou, so as to weaken Shu's military strength in Jingbei, indirectly balance the power between Qin and Shu, and use Qin to weaken Shu. Country?" Zhu Rong asked with some uncertainty.
The reason why Zhu Rong is unsure is that this plan is too bold. The three strongest princes in the world are all being used by his brother. This is incredible.
"The elm-brained brain has finally come to its senses."
This time Chi You showed admiration and said with a smile: "The power of our southern barbarians alone is not enough to fight against Shu, and using Qin to weaken Shu is the best strategy.
The longer Shu and Qin fight in northern Jing, the stronger their strength will be weakened, and finally they will be defeated by the Qin army. In this way, it will be effortless for my brother to capture Yizhou. "
Three days later, Chiyou sent his general Gonggong as the chief general and his sister Princess Zhurong as the deputy general. He led an army of 30,000 men, Meng Huo, Meng You, Yang Feng, Wu Tugu and other generals to invade the southern border of Shu.
Although the last invasion of the Southern Barbarians was repelled, Liu Ji and Liu Yu joined forces at that time and paid a great price for the results, so the people of Shu still have a deep respect for Chi You.
Now the Southern Barbarian army has returned in full force. Although it only has 30,000 troops and the leader is not Chi You but Gong Gong, the people in Shu regard this as a sign that Chi You is coming again.
The number one general of the Southern Barbarians, Gong Gong, and Princess Zhu Rong are here, so is the Southern Barbarian King Chi You still far away?
The ruling and opposition parties of the Shu Kingdom in Chengdu, no, are now the Southern Han Dynasty.
The news of the Nanman's comeback was like a bolt from the blue, and the Southern Han court was greatly frightened.
As a puppet, Liu Bian could not make the decision, so he could only ask Liu Ji from Jingbei for help as quickly as possible.
In Jingbei, Liu Ji, who had merged with Liu Xiu and joined forces to attack Jiangling City, was so angry that he threw three of his beloved glass teacups after receiving the news from Chengdu.
"Zhu Rongchi, you are a common man, you have ruined my plan, sooner or later I will skin you and cramp you."
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and cursed, as if he wanted to eat Chi You alive.
With Yue Fei taking charge of the Jingzhou Qin army here, and the 100,000 Hebei Qin army arriving in Jingbei, the advantages of Shu and Chu in Jingbei are getting smaller and smaller, but overall they are still the dominant side.
When Chiyou sent troops to Yizhou at this time, it could be said that he hit the critical point of Shu, which was heartbreaking.
"Brother King Chu, the Southern Barbarian King is really tight. Now the Southern Barbarian thieves are attacking here and Yizhou is in turmoil. I'm afraid I will..."
Liu Ji did not tell the whole story, but the meaning was self-evident, that is, he wanted to withdraw his troops.
