Chapter 227 The worries of King Wu of Chu
With so much military rations, what is Li Zhen doing?
Is this a protracted war?
King Zhuang of Chu said coldly: "Mr. Sun, if we send a team of elite soldiers to cut off their food routes, what will happen?"
Sun Shuao pondered for a moment when he heard this, his eyes were in amazement and doubt. He was obviously thinking hard. After a moment, he spoke: "I'm afraid it won't work. The army of heaven will definitely send troops to protect food along the way and want to cut off the food route unless we can counterattack Mian**! However, Mianyin County is difficult to capture, not to mention that Mianyin County is still in Mianyin County, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack! However, we can do it, and raft a gun and try to rob the food route of the Heavenly Kingdom."
"What's the use of robbing once?" King Zhuang of Chu said: "And it's very risky... If the national army surrounded Hengshui today, this is our opportunity to use troops!"
"Can the Kingdom of Heaven encircle Hengshui? Can it take 800,000 troops?" Sun Shuao shook his head and said, "Besides, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Heaven is extremely fast, so the king should have learned it! Once there is any abnormal movement on the battlefield, the army of Heaven can support all parties at any time, and we will be passive at that time! At present, we should focus on perseverance and wait for other vassal kings to come and support!"
"I have to do this!" King Zhuang of Chu said unwillingly.
Just as Li Zhen's army besieged Hengshui, Gao Jixing, who returned to Jingnan, also began to rectify his troops, while Sun Wu's army had already received the order from Li Zhen, and the army began to knock on the southern county of Guannan.
It is inevitable that Jingnan and Sun Wu will join forces to break through the pass and a Nanjun.
After breaking the pass, Sun Wu followed the trend and advanced to the front of the county town.
Chu State was shocked!
Once Nanjun is occupied, Jiangling Prefecture will be in danger.
This is the capital!
Although the capital of Chu State is in Yingdu, Yingdu is less than a thousand miles southwest of Jiangling. It can be said that Jiangling is the gateway to Yingdu.
What should we do if the heavenly army advances straight into it?
There was already a lot of noise in the Chu court.
"King Huai, King Wu, do you... have a way to resist the coalition forces of Sun Wu and Jingnan?" Xiong Yi, the king of Chu, was panicked.
"Your Majesty, now Nanjun has been broken, Hengyangjun has also been destroyed by heaven, and the southwest has been captured by Shu Han, and the Chu State has reached its point of survival." King Wu of Chu went out and said loudly: "I think it is time to test the strength and loyalty of our kings! Your Majesty has ordered him, and I will never refuse!"
"Okay, King Wu is indeed loyal and righteous!" Xiong Yi immediately ordered: "I will give King Wu the title of Supreme Doctor, the prefect of Nanjun, and the governor of Nanjun military affairs, and send more troops to Nanjun to fight the enemy!"
"My memory, obey the order!" King Wu frowned slightly.
He just said that, and the result...
Looking at the other vassal kings, none of them wanted to stand up and go to Nanjun to fight the enemy with him.
"Oh!" King Wu sighed inwardly, and had to go back to rectify his troops and plan to go to Nanjun.
At this time, King Huai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the former is named Xiangji and went to Xi Chu to borrow troops. He has not replied yet. Could it be that Xi Chu really doesn't care about the relationship between ancestors? I think, isn't it?"
While speaking, King Huai stared at Xiang Ji with an unkind look on his face.
"Your Majesty!" Xiang Ji stood up and said loudly: "Western Chu has sent general Long Ju to lead troops to rescue, but he was intercepted by the Sun family of the Eastern Wu for no reason. Please give me a clear explanation!"
That's true.
Xiang Yu really sent troops.
There was no way, grandpa spoke, and he established Western Chu, but in fact he still maintained his feelings for Chu State in his bones, so Xiang Yu did not refuse this time.
Moreover, Xiang Yu also sent the general Long Qi as the vanguard, but the army was intercepted by the Eastern Wu soldiers in the Danyang area. Long Qi also fought with Sun Ce. As a result, the little overlord Sun Ce had no combat power below Long Qi!
When Xiang Yu arrived at the battlefield in person, he was indeed facing a 500,000-strong army of Eastern Wu.
Xiang Yu wants to save him, but he can't save him!
Moreover, Xiang Yu's spies also found out that the lobbyist of the Kingdom of Heaven is still in Eastern Wu, and he persuaded the Eastern Wu and sent troops to stop Western Chu.
Xiang Ji handed Xiang Yu's reply to Xiong Yi.
After reading the letter, Xiong Yi cursed angrily: "What a dog, Dongwu, I am sorry to them in the Chu State. They actually want to be in trouble with us like this!"
Xiang Ji said: "The Eastern Wu obviously intends to alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven, and his intention must be in the four kingdoms of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. Why don't Your Majesty send people to these four kingdoms to lobby for interests and ask them to send troops to help fight against the Kingdom of Heaven? In addition, the Kingdom of Heaven is said to have opened the gate of the Emperor, and its upper right Yong army has a hundred officials. These hundred people are organized into an army of tens of millions of troops. Your Majesty, why doesn't our country open the gate of the Emperor and recruit those "undead" to become citizens and let them be loyal to the country?"
"The Undead..." Xiong Yi pondered.
King Wu, who had not left, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the undead have a great goal, we..."
As soon as King Wu spoke, King Huai also stood up: "Your Majesty, although the undead people have great goals, difficult to control, and are unruly, our Chu State is so critical at this time. Do you still care about these shortcomings in them? Recruiting undead people may not necessarily destroy the country, but if you do not recruit these undead people, we will definitely destroy the country, Your Majesty!"
"Stop talking, King Huai, how can you, be greedy for a moment and destroy the great cause of our Chu State for thousands of years?" King Wu scolded in the court.
The same king is the king. Although King Huai is smaller than King Wu, King Wu is actually the first person in Chu to be named king, which makes King Huai very unhappy... King Huai is so happy that he has no ability and has simple ideas, so he goes against King Wu everywhere.
"The country is gone, how can we talk about the great cause of a thousand years?" King Huai responded to King Wu without showing any weakness, and then bowed to Xiong Yi and said, "Your Majesty, I agree and support the recruitment of the undead!"
"I also agree, open the gate of the emperor!" Xiang Ji also stood up.
"Your Majesty, you can't open it!" King Wu still insisted.
"For the time being, send someone to the four countries of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen first, and ask them to send troops to support!" Xiong Yi thought for a while and decided not to open the gate of the emperor for the time being: "As for the gate of the emperor, we can discuss it later. King Wu, you go to Nanjun to preside over the overall situation. You must intercept Jingnan and the Sun Wu army of the Heavenly Kingdom north of the city of Nanjun!"
"I... obey the order!" King Wu had no choice but to agree.
But King Wu felt a very bad feeling in his heart.
The royal family of Chu has always been indifferent.
When I go there, who knows what changes will happen in the court?
The country and country of Chu!
King Wu knew that after he left, King Huai would definitely find an opportunity to join forces with Xiang Ji and other people to re-suggest His Majesty to recruit those undead people into the court!
