"Let all the nobles, ministers, and private soldiers of the princes in the country gather together and give unified orders, and then build a defense line on the Han River plain. Don't fight in the field with the Huai army. They all form a stronghold and fight!"
"Wu Qi's military skills and strategies are the best in the world, and no one in the world can compete with him. The Huai Kingdom is elite and known to the world. How can we defeat him in a field battle? We should clear the fields with strong walls and deep ditches to resist them."
Qu Qing quickly issued the order. At the same time, the nobles, ministers, and princes who were executed also had their properties confiscated and their lands distributed to the soldiers. After the Chu army surrendered not long ago, he now dealt with these matters as soon as possible.
Orders were issued one after another, and the nobles and ministers from all over the country knew that this was a time of crisis, so they only reluctantly reached an agreement, and the intrigues still existed.
Qu Qing forcibly suppressed these and assisted the King of Chu in handling government affairs.
Qu Qing knew how powerful Wu Qi was and that no one in the Chu State could rival him, so he thought of a way to deal with Wei and Wu Qi as King Pu of Huai had done.
Build a stronghold and fight stupidly. No matter how much you shout or how you lure them, they will not leave the city and rely on every fort to defend themselves.
This approach is indeed a headache.
This style of play minimizes the general's command influence to the greatest extent. The purpose is to limit Wu Qi's command ability.
At the same time, envoys from the Chu State also rushed to the Three Jin, Qin, and Qi States respectively.
As expected, Qin directly rejected Chu's request for help. Qin suffered heavy casualties from Wu Qi and was almost destroyed. It had no extra troops to rescue Chu. After the Three Jin Dynasties asked for help from Chu, they were also hesitant.
After experiencing several wars with the Huai Kingdom, the Three Jin Dynasties, including the states of Qi and Zhou, were very wary of the Huai Kingdom.
The strength of the Huai State is too strong, and no country can compete with the Huai State alone. If the Chu State is not rescued, after the Chu State is annexed, the Huai State's strength will further increase, and the Huai State will monopolize half of the world. How can they stop it then?
The Huai Kingdom is so powerful now. When the Huai Kingdom monopolizes half of the world, how can other countries be its opponents?
After seeing the strength of Huai State, various countries became worried and finally decided to send troops to save Chu State.
In the cave world, Zijue looked at the black clouds that were constantly billowing in the sky. They were the counterattack force of Bang Zhou's destiny. As the Huai Kingdom became stronger and stronger, the counterattack force became stronger and stronger.
But Zijue is no longer worried. The strength of the Huai State has accelerated the consumption of Bangzhou's destiny. Originally, the Bangzhou, Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods lasted about 800 years. After the rise of the Huai Kingdom, the consumption of Bangzhou's destiny accelerated.
It has been more than four hundred years since Bangzhou was established, and Zijue estimates that Bangzhou's destiny will only last for two hundred years at most. The Huai Kingdom's luck totem could still be blocked for two hundred years.
But until now, he has not decided what will happen to the Wang family in the future. He asked Tiandao whether it was possible for the Wang family to unify the world. A positive result was obtained, but the Wang family unified the world and changed the destiny too much, requiring a lot of luck to continue.
Unifying the world will gain a lot of luck, but if you want to continue your rule, you also need to consume a lot of luck. In this way, the luck gained by the Wang family after unification must be higher than the luck consumed, otherwise they will be unable to make ends meet and the Wang family's luck will soon be exhausted.
Therefore, Zijue needs to be cautious.
But these are things for the future. What we need to face now is another counterattack by Bang Zhou's luck.
After several counterattacks, Bangzhou Qiyun's counterattack became weaker and weaker, but even so, one should not be careless.
After receiving Chu's request for help, Qi State hesitated for a while and finally agreed. However, the number of troops sent was not large, and it was just Chen Bing's border control. Now Qi State is recuperating while staring at Yan State. Qi State has never forgotten Yan State's last sneak attack.
The timing chosen by Wu Qi and Wang Pu was perfect. After more than ten years of continuous fighting between Qi, Jin and Qin, their national strength was greatly depleted. Even if they want to rescue the Chu State, they can't use much power.
King Chu was relieved when he learned that the three Jin and Qi states were willing to send troops to rescue. At the same time, the King of Chu also began to prepare a way out.
Qu Qing did not have the confidence to block Huai's attack, so he wanted the King of Chu to prepare a retreat. After discussion, the two had made a decision.
At the same time, this time Qu Qing planned to keep these lords and nobles of Chu State to resist Huai State.
The King of Chu has begun to transfer the power of the royal family to Badi little by little. The land of Badi is fertile and the roads are dangerous. Many places can be said to be blocked by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. With such natural dangers at hand, how can the Huai Kingdom attack?
Badi is the retreat for Qu Qing and the King of Chu. In addition to Badi, there is Shangyong. Both of these territories have difficult roads and dangerous terrain. More importantly, there are not many lords in the two places. , aristocratic ministers' family.
After experiencing the incident where the prince attacked and killed Jing Mu in public, both Qu Qing and the King of Chu were full of distrust of the nobles and the prince. This time, they never thought of taking the prince and the nobles away.
What's more, the fiefdoms of these noble lords are basically in the Han River Plain and Nanyang Basin. These places are basically impossible for them to escape.
Qu Qing and the King of Chu have decided to use the power of these lords to stop the Huai Kingdom.
At the same time, Badi and Yongdi have no kings and few nobles and ministers. They can implement reforms again in Badi and Yongdi. Moreover, the implementation difficulty of this time's reform is much lower than that of Jingmu, and it will also be more thorough.
The King of Chu and Qu Qing moved a large number of people and materials westward, which did not arouse the vigilance of the feudal nobles. After all, the Huai Kingdom had a strong military front, and the King of Chu and Qu Qing were worried that they would not be able to defend the capital, so they planned to move west first.
King Chu and Qu Qing had this excuse to start transferring people and materials to Badi. At the same time, the two also began to give more rights to those princes and ministers and nobles. This was naturally to paralyze those princes and ministers and nobles.
These officials, nobles and lords were very happy when they saw the concession of King Chu and Qu Qing. They felt that this was the surrender of King Chu and Qu Qing, and this was a victory for them.
They didn't know that they had been used as a shield and expendable by King Chu and Qu Qing. Nor did they expect that King Chu and Qu Qing would be so decisive and bold, daring to abandon more than half of the power of Chu State.
The nobles, ministers and princes who had gained more rights began to do their best to fight against the Huai State, and this was exactly what Qu Qing and the King of Chu wanted to see.
The King of Chu just wanted to see the Huai State army fight head-on with these nobles and the armies of feudal lords from various places.
The deep ditches and high bases in Chu State's defensive method were indeed a headache. Even Wu Qi had no good solution. However, in this way, the Chu army was also restricted in its area of activity.
Unable to break through from the front, Wu Qi also began to outflank from both sides, hoping to break through from the side and then surround these Chu troops again.
