Huai Kingdom, the land of Zhongli, after thirty years of development, Huai Kingdom has firmly controlled the land of Zhongli. Wei Jun defeated Zhongli in the first battle and was granted the title of Shangqing due to his merits, and was given the title of 500 households in the city.
After receiving Wang Yong's order, Wei Jun led 3,000 Tengjia troops to the land of Zhongli, summoned 27,000 elite troops, and stationed troops in Zhongli. Zhou Lai was very nervous when he saw Huai Guo stationing troops here.
So he also summoned the army, and was defeated by Wei Jun. The army moved around for a while, and then it was used as a training exercise.
Just as Wei Jun was reorganizing his troops, Master Cai arrived at Huai State. At the same time, news of Cai State's destruction also reached here.
After hearing that Cai State was annexed by Chu State, Cai Guosheng ran to the Huai State Palace and cried loudly.
"Uncle, the Cai State is so unworthy. The Chu barbarians attacked me and destroyed the country. Please ask my uncle to help me restore the country!"
Gongyang Shuo came to Wang Yong's side and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, isn't this a good opportunity for the Huai State to intervene? This time, the Huai State helps the Cai State to restore the country. This is a great act of justice. In the future, there will definitely be more princes who surrender to Huai!" "
"If your Majesty helps the young master to win and restore the country, Cai Guo will naturally help me, Huai Guo!"
Wang Yong immediately stepped forward, helped Young Master Sheng up and said, "Jingchu is unjust and a barbarian. I will definitely not stand by and watch this time when I annex the Cai Kingdom. I will definitely escort you back to the country!"
Young Master Sheng did not expect that Huaigong would agree to help him restore the country so easily. Originally, he wanted to restore the country more because he wanted to keep his wealth and asked Huaigong to allow him to worship the Cai Guo Ancestral Temple. Unexpectedly, Huaigong wanted to help him restore his country, which made Gongzi Sheng very excited.
The strength of the Huai State was already revealed in the Battle of Xiapi. The Marquis of Qi led an allied force of princes from all over the world to attack Huai, and the Chu State also sent troops to help. What was the result? Huai State carried the coalition forces to the north and defeated Chu in ten months. Then he destroyed the coalition forces of the princes and swept across Tan State, shaking the world.
The Huai State is the most powerful country in the world. As long as the Huai State is willing to take action, how can the Chu State defeat it?
This day was full of twists and turns for Gongzi Sheng, with ups and downs. One moment, he was the son of Cai Guo. In the blink of an eye, he became a remnant of the country that was destroyed. Now, there is hope for the country to be restored.
This made Prince Sheng unable to remain calm. He immediately paid homage to Duke Huaig and said, "Uncle, I really don't know how to express my respect for you."
"God, King Wu, and King Wen, I am willing to swear by the Huai River that if I can restore the Cai State, I will not forget your kindness today! From now on, the Cai State will definitely look up to the Huai State. As long as the Cai State owns it, I will be willing to share it with you." You share!"
"Haha, Sheng'er, get up quickly. As your uncle, your nephew is being bullied. How can you not help me? The Chu Kingdom will definitely pay the price!"
Prince Sheng went to Zhongli under the arrangement of Wang Yong, and then returned to Cai State under the escort of Wei Jun. After Zhou Lai was taught a lesson by Wei Jun, he immediately became honest. When he learned that Huai Guo was escorting Prince Sheng back to Cai Guo and helping Cai Guo recover, he immediately said that he was free to do so.
The army went all the way upstream and soon arrived at Cai Guo. At this time, the Marquis of Chu was still touring the Kingdom of Xi. After getting Mrs. Xi, the Marquis of Chu was very proud and was not in a hurry to return to the Kingdom of Chu. Instead, he played with Mrs. Xi all day long.
And the kings and ministers of the Chu State had no objection to this. After all, the achievement of destroying two countries in one battle was so great, so what's the point of just playing around? Moreover, the Chu army stayed here to maintain stability and strengthen Chu's rule to prevent anyone from daring to rebel.
The State of Chu knew nothing about Huai State sending troops. They even thought that Huai State would not send troops at all. You must know that Cai State is seven or eight hundred miles away from Huai State, and there are several vassal states in between. How about Huai State? You can come? Isn't he afraid of being cut off from his food supply?
So just when the Marquis of Chu was enjoying the beauty, the Huai army suddenly appeared in Xiguo.
Wei Jun was already over fifty years old at this time. He had followed Duke Wu Zhao on his campaigns in the north and south. This time he personally led a large army to attack, leaving Chu unprepared. Wei Jun sent a large army to make a surprise attack, and the Chu State rushed to fight. The battle formation was sparse, the sergeants were not uniform, and the generals and commanders did not have smooth command. .
Huai's army attacked, and Chu was defeated in a battle. The Chu army had just defeated Cai and Xi, and their morale was high. Although they were defeated in the first battle, they did not retreat.
When the Marquis of Chu heard that the Huai army was coming to attack, he was so frightened that he quickly got up from his bed. But he quickly recovered: "The Huai army will not be able to carry out an expedition of thousands of miles based on this."
For a long time, the first battle was just because our army was careless and ordered to reorganize the army and annihilate the Huai army! "
The order of the Marquis of Chu was quickly implemented. After all, the Chu State did not want to throw away the fat meat. The Chu State destroyed two countries in a row. It was very confident. It felt that the Huai State did not follow martial ethics and launched a sneak attack. I was just careless. .
So he quickly regrouped and faced Huai Guo again.
Seeing Chu go to war again, Wei Jun laughed loudly: "How dare you fight against this defeated general?"
Then let the chariots line up on both wings, with the Tengjia army as the center, and the army lines up to fight. Although the Chu army regained its strength, the morale of the Huai army was even better. The Tengjia army was like a sharp knife, piercing the Chu army's battle formation. The Huai army's armor was sharp, and Chu was once again impressed.
Chu's sword struck the vine armor, and the Huai soldiers were unharmed. However, Huai's weapon fell and Chu's armor was easily pierced. Each of these elite Tengjia troops is one to ten, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. There is a continuous rain of arrows behind them. How can the Chu Kingdom's battle formation stop them.
Soon the Chu army could no longer hold on, and the Chinese army became in chaos. Seeing this situation, Wei Jun directly ordered the army to press forward, and the whole army attacked. The chariots rumbled, arrows rained like rain, and the Huai army was like a tide. General surged out, and the Chu army could no longer support it and fell apart.
The Chu army was beaten and fled in panic. The Chu army did not dare to stay any longer and evacuated under the protection of the guards. However, when evacuating, the Chu army had to return to the city to take Mrs. Xi with him. As a result, the Chu army was defeated miserably again. What was even more unlucky was that he was shot in the butt by a stray arrow, so he had to lie on the chariot and run away desperately. His speed was so fast that Huai's chariots could not catch up.
After three battles and three defeats, the Chu army suffered heavy losses. They did not dare to stay any longer and fled in embarrassment. The Huai army did not pursue it, but turned around and wiped out the Chu army in Cai territory. The Huai State army won all three battles, occupied Xi State, blocked the retreat of the Chu army of Cai State, and then attacked Cai State.
At this time, Gongzi Sheng came forward, and a large number of Cai Guoqing's officials were loyal, and then organized manpower and material resources to help the army attack the Chu army. Chu was quickly defeated. In the end, Cai Guo regained his power. Prince Sheng succeeded him as Marquis of Cai.
At the same time, after occupying Xiguo, Huaiguo had no intention of helping Xihou recover his country, and Xihou had been taken away by Chu in advance.
Xiguo is a small country, hundreds of miles away from Huaiguo, and it is also an enclave. Wang Yong thought for a moment and called his brothers over.
"This time the army attacked Chu to help Cai Guo recover and obtain the land of Xi. Is there anyone among you who is willing to be the king of a country?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally Wang Zhong volunteered to go to Xi Guo to be the king.
So Wang Yong made him the Marquis of Xi, served as the king of Xi State, and selected three thousand elites to move to Xi State together with their families.
