After grieving, King Xuan touched his forehead with the slender fingers of his left hand, raised his right hand slightly, and looked very tired and said: "Master Wang, please go down first."
"Yes, Wei Chen, Wei Chen is leaving."
Wang Su swallowed again and hurriedly saluted.
The death of Li Taiyan undoubtedly pushed King Chu to the forefront again.
There is no need to look for this murderer. Everyone knows that he must be an assassin sent by the King of Chu.
He was a famous scholar. He wrote an article accusing the King of Chu of not caring about the safety of the nation, but he was killed. It is conceivable that all the literati in the world would not give up!
The scholars in the Chu Kingdom did not dare to say anything, but the literati from other countries criticized the King of Chu for doing despicable things.
For a time, various voices of condemnation from the people came to the royal court one after another.
King Chu was shocked and furious again.
He is the king of the country. When the king is angry, he can lay down millions of corpses. Under the attack of force, the country of Chu becomes full of turmoil. Once it comes to the invasion of foreign tribes, everyone's expression changes.
In addition, there is no foreign invasion in Chu State, so it would not be difficult for the King of Chu to suppress it with pure force.
But in doing so, he unknowingly lost the hearts of the people of Chu.
Over in Wu State, although it was not as serious, it was still in chaos, and was somewhat affected by the turmoil in Chu.
The effects that Xiao Yuan and King Xuan wanted were achieved.
Allied camp.
Lin Chu had already returned from Chudu and was reporting on the recent situation.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows first, and then asked: "Have any of our people been arrested?"
"There are some, but it's not a big problem. They all have the status of normal people in Chu State." Lin Chu returned.
"That's good." Xiao Yuan nodded: "Find a way as soon as possible to transport gold and silver to get them out. You go."
"Yes!" Lin Chu clasped his fists and retreated.
After he left, Shangguan Wenruo stood up, raised his hands and said, "The King of Chu has gone his own way and lost the hearts of the people. Although it doesn't matter now, it will have a huge impact in the future. In addition, I don't know if the king has heard about Li Taiyan."
"Of course, if the King of Chu assassinates a celebrity, there will definitely be trouble. In fact, it is a bit stupid." Xiao Yuandao.
Shangguan Wenruo said: "Yes, but as far as I know, Li Taiyan is a famous scholar in the Xuan Kingdom and has a very high reputation. However, he seems to have some objections to King Xuan. However, due to his status, King Xuan was the king at the beginning. , and needed the support of the noble clan, so I didn’t do anything to him.”
"What?" Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and asked in a solemn voice: "What do you mean..."
Having said this, he narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled again, and said faintly: "What a Queen Xuan."
On the Allied side, the monarchs of the three kingdoms are stationed at the rear, and the generals are leading the battle in the front. Battle reports are sent back from time to time. To this day, the march of the three armies is going smoothly.
On the other side, Wuxia Pass, the ghost army camp.
The various strongholds and traffic arteries outside the customs connecting the Central Plains have been attacked frequently, and Urcha is also convening the generals for a meeting.
The total strength of the ghost clan here is about 300,000, and the other 300,000 are beside the Ghost King, sweeping Huan Di from left to right with Lianzhou as the center.
In the military tent, Urcha frowned and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, with generals at all levels standing on both sides.
He walked around, dazzling people.
After a moment, he stopped, turned his head and asked, "Have you told His Majesty the King all about our situation?"
"An urgent message has been sent to His Majesty."
A ghost general replied, and after speaking, he moved the corner of his mouth again and said tentatively: "General, now in the Central Plains, the princes have united, Qin, Xuan, and Ling, with a total of 600,000 troops. The main army is divided into three groups to attack fiercely. Our army has fortresses everywhere and the front line is tight. Next, do we need to re-formulate our tactics?"
When Urcha heard this, he first looked at the ghost general who was speaking, and then glanced at the others: "What do you think?"
Someone thought for a while and said: "Now that we have occupied part of the city first and have a certain defensive advantage, it is best not to let the Central Plains army attack Wuxia Pass. Otherwise, our army's control of the pass will be affected to a certain extent. Influence."
This is inevitable. If the Allied troops approach Wuxia Pass, without mentioning the battle beforehand, the first problem will definitely be caused by the people of Huan State. When reinforcements arrive, it is conceivable that some responses will probably occur.
"Well..." After hearing this, Urcha nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense. Does it mean that our army should continue to defend the fortresses?"
"That's right." The general replied.
At this time, someone else stood up: "The Central Plains Army, the three armies, all number 200,000, and their strength is worse than ours. If we just defend blindly, I'm afraid we will suffer a big loss in terms of strength in the end. Instead of doing this, It’s better to use tactics cleverly to defeat them one by one.”
"How to defeat them one by one?" Urcha looked at him.
The man replied: "For example, while defending on the northwest line, secretly mobilize troops from the center line and southeast direction to gather together to destroy the Ling army first, and then turn around to deal with Qin Xuan."
To put it simply, this is to concentrate firepower, hit one place first, and loosen the other two places.
Urcha thought about it.
But before he could decide, the ghost general from before expressed his objection: "This is inappropriate. If so, the strength of the central line and southeast direction will be reduced sharply. Once Qin Xuan takes a fierce offensive, both fronts will be defeated and he will be defeated." They flanked the northwest front from behind."
This is also a problem.
Urcha frowned and thought deeply again.
All the ghost army generals also looked at him, waiting for his decision.
After a moment, he said: "There are great risks in placing the focus on the northwest front war deployment, and the two kings of Qin and Xuan are not mediocre masters. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous, so we still have to proceed steadily."
With that said, he made a decision and added: "Send more troops to the three strongholds respectively. At the same time, send a letter to Your Majesty, requesting the support of heavy armored cavalry."
"As long as our heavy cavalry arrives, even if the situation is slightly worse, we can turn it around in one battle!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded.
At the same time, Licheng.
This is the main road leading to Wuxia Pass from the northwest, and it is also one of the strongholds of the ghost army.
The ghost army's troop deployment here is about 30,000, but the strongholds behind it can provide support here.
At the moment, the spirit army is pressing down on the territory.
Standing at the top of the city and looking out, it was so dense that it was impossible to see the end of the city.
The flags are fluttering, the halberds are standing everywhere, and the military looks so strong.
The ghost soldiers on the city were somewhat nervous, holding spears in their hands.
At this moment, Ye Gui rode up alone, raised his spear in his hand, and shouted angrily:
"You little thief! How dare you offend our Central Plains!"
"Come down quickly and die!"
