Today's royal family is similar to the Emperor Zhou during the Warring States Period. Although the imperial power has declined, he is still the king of the world after all, and his name is justified. No matter whether the kings look down on Shang Rui or not, everyone has a tacit understanding.
This is a disguised form of checks and balances. Now after hearing what King Yan said, King Ling thought for a moment and said: "If we take the royal family's land, then in a big way, it means that the princes will invade it, and other countries will not let go of it, in the name of it. "
"Huh? Brother Ling Wang is worried too much." King Yan waved his hand and said: "In the past, it might have been like this, but now, the war in Jin has involved all the countries. This is a rare opportunity."
"Well... it makes some sense." The Spirit King nodded slowly and asked, "How do you plan?"
"Brother Lingwang can take the south of Huaiyang, and I, the king, can take the north of Huaiyang." King Yan said. The Spirit King thought for a moment and said, "This is feasible, but the imperial capital cannot be moved for the time being."
"If you don't want to move, just don't move. You might as well give Shang a place to live." King Yan chuckled. The current situation, in summary, is that after Qin Liang attacked Jin, Jin was defeated all the way. Seeing the opportunity, other countries took advantage of it and took advantage of it. Yan Ling took the opportunity to start taking the emperor's territory.
For a time, chaos broke out again in the Central Plains, and there were swords and soldiers everywhere, but Xuan Guo stayed out of it. After Yan Ling used troops against Huaiyang, he intended to divide it from here and establish Huainan and Huaibei counties. At the same time, he began to devour the emperor's territory from the surrounding areas.
After hearing the news, Shang Rui immediately panicked and said repeatedly: "This, this, this, I have never offended King Ling and King Yan. Why do these two countries send troops to Huaiyang?" Dong Hua said: "Your Majesty, The world is in chaos. Seeing that there is no profit to be gained, the two kingdoms of Yanling want to seek the royal family's land. This is really an offense against the superiors, and their intentions are to be punished."
"Then, what should we do?" Shang Rui was confused. Dong Hua said again: "No matter what, your Majesty is the emperor. Now that the princes have invaded, we must send troops to suppress it!"
"Yes, but those are the two kings of Yanling."
"This..." Dong Hua also swallowed, but still said: "But if your Majesty does not care and allows the two countries to occupy the land, the emperor's majesty will be lost, and it will only increase the arrogance of the princes."
"Then, let Lu Bolin send troops?" Shang Rui asked tentatively. He was the emperor, so he spoke in such a tone.
When Dong Hua heard this, he became a little silent. Despite his nice words, if he really wants to send troops, can he suppress it?
But no matter what, in the end, Lu Bolin led the imperial team to Huaiyang. At the same time, Shang Rui also sent an envoy to ask the two kings of Yanling.
As a result, when the envoy arrived, he was sent away by King Yan without saying anything. Later, Lu Bolin was forced to have no choice but to resist symbolically, but Yan Army and Ling Army, this is not a joke. Once on the battlefield, either you die or I die.
With the strength of the Lu family's army, there was no suspense in this battle. He was pinned to the ground and beaten by Yan Ling's second army. Lu Bolin also abandoned his helmet and armor along the way and fled back to the imperial capital in a hurry.
On the other side, Xuzhou. At this time, the Qin army had already joined forces. Su Yi had arrived in Xuzhou before. After arriving, he also launched several strong attacks on the city. As a result, the Jin army resisted desperately and both sides suffered losses.
At present, in the Chinese army's tent, the generals are discussing the war. Xiao Yuan took the lead and said: "Since our army attacked Jin, the war has been going on for a year. After taking Yiyang and Puyang, our army has completely penetrated into the hinterland of Jin. But to reach the capital of Jin, we must pass through Xuzhou City."
"Now, most of the Central Army of the Jin State is in Xuzhou, and this city is the last favorable barrier for the enemy. Once this place is lost, the Jin State will have no room for maneuver. By then, our Qin State's cavalry will be able to move across the plains. , using several important roads to approach the capital of Jin!" As he spoke, he also looked at Lin Chu and asked: "What did you find out about Xuzhou guard Du Yu?"
"Back to your Majesty, based on the intelligence collected by our army, overall, Du Yu is not a famous general. Although he has fought many wars, he is usually served as Ren Ying's deputy general and does not have any great advantages. There are no major shortcomings." When the two armies face each other, studying the opponent's general and knowing himself and the enemy is what Xiao Yuan must do every time.
Now after listening to what Lin Chu said, he pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, this is a quite lawful general. He will not be easily fooled by such a person. It is quite difficult for him to defend the city." He said. Then, he glanced at the generals again and asked aloud: "Do you have any good suggestions on how to defeat Xuzhou?" Everyone glanced at each other subconsciously, then frowned slightly and began to think deeply.
Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, I think we have to fight a tough battle to defeat Xuzhou."
"Xuzhou City is one of the largest cities in the Jin Kingdom. Its defenses are solid and tall. The Jin army defends the city and occupies a geographical advantage. And its leader, Du Yu, is a man who uses troops to defend himself. No matter what, he will not take the initiative to open or close the city. While facing the enemy, he also knows very well that if Xuzhou is defeated, the capital of Jin will be in danger, so he will definitely launch a desperate resistance in Xuzhou, and if our army wants to break through here, there is no shortcut, we can only attack by force!" Listen! After what he said, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly.
"What's your opinion?"
"Now, I'm afraid there is no other way." A general said.
"Okay! Then attack by force! Fight with the Jin army with the bravery of the soldiers!" Xiao Yuan made the decision immediately. The next day, under his military order, more than 200,000 Qin troops arrived at Xuzhou City.
Flags are fluttering and halberds stand in great numbers. The officers and soldiers of the Qin army formed several square formations, looking at one line horizontally and one line diagonally.
Black armor and red tassels cover the sky and the earth. On the top of the city, Du Yu was located in the middle. Looking at the appearance of the Qin army, his face looked somewhat unsightly.
At this time, his lieutenant general began to say: "General, look at the Qin army's numbers. They are so numerous that they can't be seen to the end. I am afraid that they have poured out all the strength of the country to attack Xuzhou. This battle will not be easy to fight."
"No matter what, Xuzhou must not be lost!" Du Yu said in a deep voice.
"Of course, the general understands! Even if our soldiers die in battle, they will never take a step back!" the deputy general said seriously.
"Yes." Du Yu nodded and said: "No matter how brave the Qin army is, with the strong defense of Xuzhou city, they can't even think of taking a step forward! And in the city, our army has inexhaustible supplies of food, grass and weapons, and there are another hundred thousand With a large army, it is no problem to resist the enemy many times over!"
"What the general said makes sense." The deputy general agreed. At this time, the Qin army's camp also changed.
"Prepare the arrow formation!" Countless soldiers began to run forward and placed pots of arrows on the ground.
There was a sound of armor scraping together, and the soldiers in the front row loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
The sound of mechanical movement was heard one after another, and the huge crossbow machine was pulled apart... Every time the Qin army entered a place, they would wreak havoc with arrow formations in advance.
