Xuanguo.
The palace study.
King Xuan is very young, younger than any other king.
She looks like she has just turned 20, and her features are delicate and pretty.
Below, there was a minister of Xuan Kingdom standing. After he finished his report, King Xuan said calmly:
"Let them fight. The rise of King Qin was somewhat unexpected, and the strong Jin gradually declined. After this battle, the situation in the world will change dramatically. Wu Chu Yanling wants to watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the fishermen. So Xuan Guo should stay out of the matter. ."
"Yes, the king has always made a clear decision, and the ministers have no objections." The minister lowered his body and said: "There is another matter. The rebel forces such as the Second Young Master have been eliminated, and the political power of our country has been completely unified, but..."
Understand what he means. The second young master is the half-brother of King Xuan. There was a certain amount of civil war between various forces competing for the title of Prince Xuan.
After hearing this, King Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and then said quietly: "The blood of the royal family is cold, and what you do must not be blasphemous."
"Your Majesty, please do not feel sorry for yourself. There is no wise king without blood on his hands." The minister said in a trembling voice.
"Stop talking." King Xuan raised his hand: "Kill him."
"Yes! Weichen understands!"
Wu State.
Qin Liang's attack on Jin has naturally been mentioned in the court.
In the main hall, King Wu first stated his own point of view. He believed that the Wu army should not participate in the war now and should make a decision before moving.
A minister said: "But Your Majesty, although the King of Jin has not sent envoys to Wu yet, once the war goes against Jin, this will inevitably happen. How will our country respond by then?"
"If an envoy from Jin comes, let Jin cede the land. If it cedes, the Wu army will pretend to send troops to help. If not, then continue to wait and see." King Wu said directly.
"This..." The minister hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But Your Majesty, our country has previously formed an alliance with the other three countries to attack Qin. If we don't help Jin in this battle, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there's something wrong. ."
"The four kingdoms attacked Qin, but it was driven by interests." King Wu sneered: "Why did King Qin attack Jin? Do you really think he was doing it for revenge? It was not for Qin to go east. Even if Jin was on good terms with Qin before, then King Qin would still be the same He still has to attack Jin because Jin is blocking his way!"
As he spoke, he added: "It is of great benefit to the country, so where is Wu's army? The current situation of the war is still unknown. Therefore, it is not appropriate for our country to move lightly. We will not move until the war has reached a stalemate and the three countries have suffered serious losses and cannot fight anymore." . The King of Chu must also be like this due to the two kingdoms of Yanling."
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind it. Countries all over the world want to finally come out to clean up the mess. They all believe that if they strengthen the Jin's national power, even if they are defeated in the end, the two countries of Qin and Liang will definitely be brought down by it.
By then, all three countries will be able to deal with it.
There was nothing wrong with King Wu's decision, and Princess Lingyu happened to guess it all.
All the kings have their own thoughts and calculations. Due to this situation, it is absolutely impossible for King Jin to win allies in the early stage of the war. In this world, there are not many people who can help when the time is right, but there are many who can add insult to injury!
Huan Guo, the only country that could possibly send troops to help, was also thinking of going to the county at this time.
Guangling area, the front line of Shanxi and Liang.
King Liang, with Xue Wu as commander, commanded 200,000 troops, turned from defense to offense, and made a posture of continuing to advance into Jin.
The King of Jin quickly mobilized the Central Army and appointed Ren Ying as commander. The same 200,000 troops blocked the progress of Liang's army.
These two men are both world-famous generals who have fought in many famous battles. At this time, they are equally matched against each other.
When Ren Ying was with the King of Jin, he suggested that Puyang's defense line should be deep and high, and refuse to engage in battle to avoid the Qin army's edge. However, on Guangling's side, he did not do this, and instead prepared for a face-to-face confrontation with the Liang army.
The reasons for this are, firstly, Ren Ying has enough confidence when the troops are equal, and secondly, Xue Wu is as famous as him, and he also wants to defeat Xue Wu on the front battlefield so that he can fight with it. Leave a name in history.
This battle, with a total of 400,000 troops on both sides, was no small matter. It would definitely go down in history.
On this day, Liangjun camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the generals were discussing the war.
Liang Jun's armor is more gray-brown, and Xue Wu's appearance is relatively resolute, with a clear face and a short beard on his chin.
He was wearing a general's armor and a red cloak behind him. In the big tent, he pointed his war sword at the sand table and said:
"According to my previous personal investigation, Ren Ying's camp was based on favorable terrain. The 200,000 troops did not gather in one place, but formed a horn formation."
"Here and here, there are a large number of Jin troops. A rough estimate is that they are more than 30,000."
"Therefore, if we attack from the front, not only will it be difficult to break the camp, but we may also be surrounded by a counter-attack."
"And here is the food and grass camp of the Jin army."
Beside him were the generals of the Liang Army. After Xue Wu said this, one of the generals couldn't help but pointed at the sand table and said: "According to what Xue Shuai said, the nearby terrain is as good as Ren Ying's. As far as the camp is concerned, the Jin army's large grain and grass camp is not too difficult to attack. In the opinion of the last general, it may be possible to attack at night, burn the grain and grass, and the army will collapse."
Xue Wu shook his head, walked to the commander's case and said, "Food and grass are the most important supplies for marching and fighting. Ren Ying is an experienced soldier. This must be a flaw that he deliberately exposed. How can he hide his small skills from me?"
Hearing what he said, the generals couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them asked: "In the opinion of Commander Xue, what should our army do?"
"It is better to cut off the food routes than to risk burning their food and grass!"
Just as Xue Wu said this, an emergency report suddenly came from outside:
"Report"
Following the urgent shouting, a messenger ran in in a panic, then knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said:
"Report to Commander Xue! The enemy's war report."
As he spoke, the messenger also raised his hands high and presented a sharp arrow with a silk book nailed to it.
"What?" When he heard this, Xue Wu was quite surprised and couldn't help but said: "Quickly, bring it up."
"promise!"
The arrow was placed on the commander's desk. Xue Wu took off the silk book and read it:
Throughout the ages, there have been countless military leaders, but only a handful of those who are good at fighting. Now that I have heard about my brother's talent, he ranks among the first-class military commanders in the empire. He always uses the courage of the Liang army to win battles and conquer attacks. Ren is not talented, and now he commands an army of 200,000. I am willing to compete with Brother Xue. I hope you will take off your hat and go barefoot, and take a bath to avoid making mistakes...
This letter of war is simple and clear. It praises him first and then insults him, making him worthless.
After Xue Wu finished reading, he became furious and slapped the silk book on Shuai's case with a fierce palm:
"My dear Ren Ying, you have insulted me too much! It's intolerable and intolerable!"
