The two countries of Xuan and Chu were bounded by the Xiang River.
This is shocking news!
For Xiao Yuan, it was a timely help!
What he fears most now is Xuan Ling's movements.
If the Xuan Army and the Ling Army also come to attack Qin, Xiao Yuan will have to return to his army!
Unexpectedly, the queen actually fulfilled her promise.
The generals on the left and right also showed joy.
Zhao Mu immediately said: "Your Majesty, if the Xuan army attacks Chu, how will the King of Chu approach Shanyu Pass? This is a huge constraint!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that." Shangguan Wenruo was also a little excited.
There was also uncontrollable surprise on Xiao Yuan's face, but just as he was about to speak, another sergeant ran in quickly.
He knelt down on one knee, raised his hands in the air and said, "Your Majesty, a letter from Xuanguo."
"Quick, bring it up!"
When the letter was delivered, Xiao Yuan quickly unfolded it and read it carefully:
"Brother Wang sees the words as if they have met each other. Now that Wu and Chu are attacking Qin, it is a matter of agreement. Sister Wang should send troops, but only to contain the Chu army. As for the Wu army, Xuan Guo cannot interfere. Brother Wang can decide for himself how to act. But there is one thing. I advise you to return to your home country as the best option..."
King Xuan felt that Xiao Yuan should not take such a risk.
But with this letter and the fact that Xuan Jun was already moving to attack Chu, Xiao Yuan felt somewhat reassured.
This queen won't do anything dirty again, will she?
She is very shrewd and calculating.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan became more worried. He couldn't help but immediately picked up his pen and started to reply a letter to King Xuan.
In the letter, his words were extremely friendly. He couldn't help but praise Wang Bingxue for being smart, smart, generous, understanding of the overall situation, and so beautiful that she could be called the best queen in the world...
His letters were delivered quickly.
In just a few days, it was in the hands of King Xuan.
After the latter read it, he slightly pursed his red lips and smiled, saying to himself: "How afraid are you that I will lie to you..."
Wang Su, who was bowing down and standing below, saw this and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, our army has crossed the Xiangjiang River and is it a real attack or a feint attack on Chu?"
"Then it depends on how the King of Chu decides and whether the Chu army returns to support."
King Xuan said: "If we don't come back with help, I will take advantage of the situation and occupy Xiangnan County."
Wang Su asked again: "But if this is the case, will it be suspected of helping Qin?"
"So what?" King Xuan said with a smile: "Only Wu, Chu and Liang are allowed to form an alliance, but Xuanguo is not allowed to have allies? If their goal is really achieved and the three countries are connected, Xuanguo will still be in danger. When Qin arrives, it wants to help There’s nothing I can do to help.”
Decisions will change as the situation changes.
On Xiao Yuan's side, after learning about Xuan Jun's actions, he immediately made a decision: "Immediately send an order to Nie Xing! Let him lead an army of 50,000 to cross Longshan Mountain at starry night!"
"At the same time, the main force of our army will immediately launch a strong attack on Youzhou!"
Nie Xing was the general who stayed in Yiyang.
After receiving the king's order, he did not dare to delay, and immediately secretly mobilized troops and began to march northward lightly.
In the summer of the same year, the Second Central Plains War broke out.
Qin attacked Liang, and Huan wanted to advance westward.
Wu Chu attacked Qin.
Declare an attack on Chu.
Lingguo's large number of troops also began to be mobilized frequently.
In the Seven Kingdoms Battle for Hegemony, as many as six countries directly participated in the war.
The presence of millions of armies plunged the Central Plains into an era of complete chaos once again.
For a time, people in many places began to suffer from the war.
Everyone knows that fighting a war means burning money, and the direct consequence is forced conscription.
Especially in places where war is raging, countless people have begun to be displaced and their families have fled for refuge...
The war in Ningyang started first.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan refused to withdraw, in the capital of Wu, the King of Wu sneered: "The King of Qin refuses to withdraw, right? Do you really think that Qin's existing troops can block the front of our Wu army? It just so happened that he did not withdraw, so he did My king’s wish is that Huangfu Ye must take over Shu!”
On the King of Chu's side, when he learned that Xuan's army had crossed the river, he was furious and stared at him and said, "I don't believe it today, how dare she, King Xuan, do this!"
But despite this, he did not dare to send more troops to Shanyuguan.
On the Xuan Kingdom side, King Xuan acted calmly: "If Hanzhou doesn't withdraw, we will keep attacking the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. We will occupy as many cities as we can."
On the other side of the Ling Kingdom, the Ling King thought for a long time: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer for the situation to change..."
Qinzhou, the palace of the Prince of Qin.
A group of Qin ministers were gathering together, anxious.
Yan Ming, the Minister of Rites, said: "Now that Wu and Chu are attacking Qin, the king has transferred all the main forces to the battlefield of Qin Liang. What should we do..."
Zheng Shiwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Based on the existing military strength in the country, there are not many that can be mobilized. The most powerful ones are also Yang Heng's troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Changqing immediately said: "No! Your Majesty has already made it clear that no matter what happens in the country, the Qinguan garrison cannot be mobilized!"
"Then what should we do? We can't wait until the border is in danger. It will be too late!" Another minister said anxiously.
Jiang Yi said: "General Lian Xiao is guarding Shu, and Shu has always been stable. His troops and horses should be able to be mobilized."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give the order from the royal court." Someone urged.
As he spoke, people also looked at Liu Yuzhi.
This is where the government is located. Now that the monarch Xiao Yuan is away from the country, everything is naturally decided by the prime minister.
"Stop arguing." Liu Yuzhi, who had been silent all this time, shook his head and said, "The truth is that I have no military command authority."
"What? This..."
All the ministers were dumbfounded.
Yes, if the Central Army of Qin wants to mobilize on a large scale, you can't do it with just a word, not even a general. It needs the king's order and military symbols.
After finishing speaking, Liu Yuzhi looked around for another week, frowned slightly and said, "At such a critical moment, why don't you see General Su Yi?"
"This... I don't know even if you are a low-ranking official." Someone replied.
In a war situation, if the monarch is absent and there is no commander-in-chief, how can it be done?
Let a group of civil servants who are engaged in politics and people's livelihood discuss countermeasures here?
Moreover, most of the generals in the army who were able to fight were taken away by Xiao Yuan. The only ones left in the country were Su Yi and Lian Xiao.
Knowing that the discussion was fruitless, Liu Yuzhi left decisively and went directly to the general's mansion.
At this time, Su Yi was not in any panic. When he learned that the Prime Minister was visiting, he quickly went out to greet him personally, bowed his hands and said:
"I've met the Prime Minister."
"General, you are polite." Liu Yuzhi returned the salute, and just as he was about to speak, Su Yi turned sideways and stretched out his hand: "Please, Prime Minister."
Liu Yuzhi looked at him and saw that he was calm and calm, so he couldn't help but ask: "The situation is tense now, how can General An do this?"
"On the surface, it seems that our country is in danger of destruction, but in fact it is not. There is no need for the Prime Minister to worry." Su Yi said with a smile.
"How can you see it?" Liu Yuzhi asked.
Su Yi thought for a while and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he changed the topic and said:
"As expected, the king must have made arrangements."
