The war between Qi and Tang lasted for three years, and both Qi and Tang were at the end of their wars.
This made the Chu State, which had been cheating and watching, start to make moves.
However, the speed of the truce between Qi and Tang was beyond everyone's expectations.
Of course, thanks to Kong Wen, Qin Zhen and Tian Ji of Qi, the three of them reached a truce as quickly as possible, which made Chu's previous layout completely unresponsive.
However, the Chu State did not intend to give up its own layout, and was still eyeing Qi State and Tang State.
After several months of fierce debate, the Chu court finally decided to use troops against Tang and Qi at the same time.
In the eyes of most Chu people, after the battle between Qi and Tang, both countries were already very weak.
Attacking both countries at this time will definitely gain huge benefits from both countries.
As a result, Chu State assembled an army of 300,000 troops on the border of Tang State and 200,000 troops on the border of Qi State, for a total of 500,000 troops.
After Du Tao reported this to the court, the Tang State urgently recruited soldiers and sent 250,000 troops to reinforce Huai County.
This time, the Tang Dynasty's general was no longer Qin Zhen, the general who controlled the country, but was replaced by Wei Chixiong, the Marquis of Lu Bo, and Du Tao, the governor of Huai County, as his deputy.
After Qin Yu read the news from the capital, he handed it to Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan frowned immediately after seeing Yu Chixiong's name.
"After reading this, tell me what you think." Qin Yu looked at the two of them and said.
At this time, Xiao He, who had finished peeking at the news, jumped out, raised his hand and said, "I have something to say."
Qin Yu didn't expect that Xiao He would be so active.
"Then tell me first."
"Ahem." Xiao He cleared his throat and said: "After the Battle of Qi and Tang, both Qi and Tang were unable to fight anymore. At this time, Chu sent troops, which was tantamount to taking advantage of the situation."
"However, robbery is not easy at this time. After several months of recovery, Tang and Qi have survived the most difficult period to a certain extent."
Qin Yu clenched his chin and looked at Xiao He analyzing in front of him.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan also looked over. After getting along for a long time, they both knew that Xiao He was simply a child prodigy.
Despite his young age, his vision and strategy are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Xiao He continued, "Chu passed through Tang and Qi, just to grab some territory and other benefits, but sending troops at this time will incur the anger of Qi and Tang."
"Chu may not necessarily get benefits this time, and it may even completely offend the two countries. It is really an unwise choice."
Qin Yu looked at Xiao He and asked, "Do you think the other four countries will take any action?"
After thinking carefully, Xiao He said: "Qi State is likely to ask Zhao State for help, and now Jin State is busy suppressing Wei State and Song State. These three countries have absolutely no energy to take care of our war in the east."
Qin Yu nodded. Xiao He's analysis was similar to his own, except that he felt that Zhao State would not participate in the war.
After all, on the northern border of Zhao State, after Rong Di spent the late winter, he was afraid that he would go south to catch the spring breeze.
However, the subsequent development of events also proved that Xiao He's analysis was correct, while Qin Yu's ideas were still slightly insufficient.
Qin Yu looked at Gongsun Qi and asked, "Tell me about it."
Gongsun Qi cupped his hands to Qin Yu and said, "I think this is an opportunity for us."
Several people were stunned and looked at Gongsun Qi doubtfully. Once the war breaks out, it is likely to affect Cang County. Why is it still an opportunity?
Gongsun Qi continued: "The war between the Three Kingdoms will inevitably lead to a large number of refugees. As long as we can ensure the safety of Cang County and provide enough food and land, we can attract a large number of people."
"It's easy to say, but hard to do." Qin Yuan said, "Cang County is adjacent to Qi Chu, and it had a bad reputation before. No one would be willing to come here."
"How about you leave this matter to me?" Xiao He said suddenly.
Qin Yu turned his eyes to Xiao He, with a slight smile on his lips.
What Xiao He is most powerful about is not strategy, but logistics, attracting people, and that is also part of logistics.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan did not believe Xiao He. After all, no matter how talented a child was, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing well.
Gongsun Qi then held up his hands and said: "Sir, we can prepare food on the border and at the same time spread out people to spread the word. We should be able to attract people."
"I don't think it's appropriate. Doing this may arouse Qi Chu's anger, and those people may not stay after they get the food."
"Okay." Qin Yu waved his hand to stop the two of them, looked at Xiao He and said, "This matter is left to Xiao He, so everyone, including me, will fully cooperate with Xiao He."
"Thank you for your trust, sir!" Tears flashed from the corners of Xiao He's eyes. Qin Yu's trust in him was even greater than in his previous life. After all, he looked like a child now.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan looked at each other. They did not expect that Qin Yu would trust Qin Yu so much and leave such an important matter to Xiao He.
Moreover, everyone must cooperate with Xiao He, even the adults themselves must cooperate.
At this time, Qin Yu looked at Qin Yuan again, "You have many connections. Please pay more attention to changes in the current situation and report to me at any time."
"No!" Qin Yuan lowered his head, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Faced with Chu's invasion this time, County Governor Du Tao did not recruit troops from Cang County.
One is because Cang County is now in dire straits and cannot provide many troops.
The second reason is that although Cang County was ignored by the Qi, Chu and Tang Dynasties, its position was still very important.
Especially after Cang County has been purged, it will inevitably attract the attention of Chu State. If Chu State attacks from now on, Cang County's location will be very important.
Therefore, Qin Yu now has the intention to do this series of actions.
And just when Qin Yu started to take action, Zhao Xingzhi, who had never been seen before, was also taking action.
This time when Chu attacked Tang, it was Zhao Xingzhi’s opportunity to return to the Tang court!
Zhao Xingzhi wrote a large volume of memorials and prepared to submit them to the king of Tang Dynasty.
"Dad, you have been locked in the study for several days. It's time to go out for a walk." Zhao Ling'er brought lunch to Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Xingzhi put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the key to whether my father can return to the capital. You can't be careless."
"Dad, do we have to go back to the capital? I think it's good here." Zhao Ling'er asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xingzhi was stunned and looked up at his daughter.
"Alas! Just treat your father as a common man. As a father, you will never be able to escape the word lust for power in your life."
"It would be better for my father to be a county magistrate who can't do anything here than to let my father go back to the countryside and be more comfortable."
"Dad, are you complaining that Master Qin Yu has taken away your rights?" Zhao Ling'er looked at his father and asked.
Zhao Xingzhi stood up and shook his head, "Qin Yu is a capable man. He has done things that his father could not do. If there is a chance, my father would like to take him to the capital to be an official. He must be a A good official."
"It's a pity that this kid hasn't grown up yet and hasn't seen the true nature of this world." Zhao Xingzhi said with a bitter smile.
