Chapter 822 The mobilization of the Chu army

(Please subscribe, please don’t be stingy with your comments, it’s better to be lively during the Chinese New Year!)

The speed of changes in the current situation is always unexpected, and it is even more obvious on the battlefield.

Shortly after the Chu army entered Shangluo, the Wei army at Changping Pass across the river took action, and its advance troops even crossed the river directly.

The Wei army was not good at coming, but the Chu army did not admit defeat at all.

In the past, they joined forces with Qin Qi to fight against the Wei army, but the Chu army did not work hard, but this time they were planning to do a big fight.

Therefore, after the Wei army took action, Xiong Xian immediately ordered the vanguard of the Chu army to drive the Wei army back north of the river.

The Chu army had more than 200,000. Facing the Wei army in Changping Pass, it was naturally not afraid. The 20,000 Chu army rushed directly to the 5,000 Wei army that came across the river.

But Wang Xiu, the chief general of the Wei army, was not a fool. It was impossible to win by 5,000 or 20,000. After the Chu army responded, he let the Wei army, who had crossed the river, retreated.

For Wang Xiu, sending a large army to cross the river was not to fight against the Chu people, but to make the Chu people move.

The Chu army's 200,000 troops were indeed powerful, and it was incapable of being able to fight Wang Xiu, so he found a way to lead the Chu people by the nose.

With the natural danger of the river, he was not worried at all about the 200,000 Chu soldiers opposite him.

Chu Jun sighed, and Xiong Xian himself was also very angry, but there were more than one thing that made him upset.

Because he received a report from him later, the Wu people who followed him were also approaching quickly, making Xiong Xian realize that he had miscalculated.

Xiong Xian didn't take the 50,000 troops from the Wu people at first. He believed that the Wu army was following behind in order to monitor the movements of his army.

But now both the people of Wu and Wei have taken action, which immediately changed Xiong Xian's view, making him easily think that Wei and Wu had reached some agreement.

In fact, this is not unusual, because on the surface, Wei and Wu are allies.

In the military camp twenty miles north of Shangluo City, Xiong Xian was thinking about the situation in the military alone, while the generals below were waiting for his decision.

But it was not a big deal for Xiong Xian to remain silent like this, so soon a general asked, "General, the Wei army has retreated to the north of the river. If we do not change the defense line, we will annihilate all the Wu army behind us!"

This statement easily won the approval of some people, because among the Chu army generals, some people still tend to attack Wu.

However, Xiong Xian, as the main general, did not think so. Since he was appointed as the main general by Xiong Jun, it means that he followed Xiong Jun's opinion.

"Attack Wu? Don't you know what is the purpose of my 200,000 army heading north?" Xiong Xian asked with a slight harsh face.

To attack Wu, there is definitely no need for such a large-scale army. After being scolded by the chief general, the general who had just stood up had to retreat.

Xiong Xian also walked out of deep thought at this time, and he continued: "Everyone, our army went north to help Qi resist Wei, not for the remnants of Wu!"

From what Xiong Xian said, it can be seen that he did not take Wu Kingdom seriously at all.

"General, since we don't attack the Wu Kingdom, how should our army deal with it next?" A general asked again.

With 200,000 troops for his dispatch, Xiong Xing was very confident and heard him say, "The most urgent task is to send troops into Qi as soon as possible. Now that the Wei army is plundering Qi territory, the Qi people can't last long!"

Xiong Xian said this to himself. Others are hard to be motivated by joining the country, and no one is willing to do anything thankless.

But this is a hurdle that the Qi army cannot get around, so Xiong Xian said: "The army entering Qi is tentatively set to be 120,000, and will be led by this general himself. Are you willing to join Qi with this general?"

When Xiong Xian looked at his subordinates, some people turned their gaze away, fearing that they would meet with the general.

Except for a few three people who were willing to support Xiong Xian, everyone else remained silent and expressed their attitude.

Xiong Xian was very angry at this time, but he had no choice but to do anything about it. This is a status quo that even the king could not change.

So Xiong Xian said, "Since you don't even say anything, then I'll just do it myself..."

Speaking of this, Xiong Xian, regardless of whether everyone agreed or not, came up with names according to what he missed.

In less than a minute, the composition of the 120,000 army was finalized. Because Xiong Xian himself had great military achievements and was deeply trusted by the king, no one had any objections at this time.

"The 120,000 troops entered Qi, but the Wei army in Changping Pass north of the river still had to guard against it, and the Wu army operating in Liang also needed to watch out. These two tasks will be handed over to the eight left behind!" Xiong Xian said to the eight people before he was pointed at.

The eight Chu generals who stayed at first felt glad, but when they heard that the Lord General arranged such a difficult task for him, their smile disappeared.

The Wei army in Changping Pass was 80,000, and the 50,000 people behind the scenes were involved in the Wu army. It was very stressful to prevent these people.

In order to make the people who stayed behind realize the importance of the problem, Xiong Xian said: "Everyone, if I want to escape after leading the army into Qi, you need to defend this path and not let the Wei and Wu army disturb you!"

"Otherwise, the 200,000 elite troops in our Great Chu may be trapped in the encirclement of the Wei army, and no one can afford the blame!"

These words were said heavily, and everyone's brows and dances just now disappeared, and everyone's face was full of solemnity.

"Chen Yu, you will be in command of the army within the royal capital. Don't let me down!" At this time, Xiong Xian pointed at a middle-aged general in the military tent and said.

Xiong Xian is nearly fifty years old, and he has not been able to jump in the army for many years. Chen Yu is the rising star he values, so he naturally has to entrust important tasks to show his experience.

Chen Yu did not expect that he would be appointed as the chief general of the remaining 80,000 troops. Logically, Xiong Xian did not have this power, but now it is time to survive and die, Xiong Xian did not seem abrupt in his extraordinary means.

Chen Yu stood up, and under the unconvinced eyes of his colleagues, he answered in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General, the last general will not let the Wei army, the great power and river, and the people of Wu will not let the people of Wu be so violent!"

This sounded energetic, and Xiong Xian's heart was a little warmed up, so he heard Xiong Xian say, "Everyone, the people of Wei are the confidants of my Great Chu. This time our army is not to help Qi, but to save ourselves..."

"So, I hope you will do your best to make this victory triumphant victory in this battle, so that you can live up to your great trust!"

Xiong Xian brought out the king, how could everyone be indifferent at this time? What's more, Xiong Xian's words made some sense.

Therefore, the generals could only express their loyalty and firmly expressed their desire to complete the monarch's military orders and drive the Wei people to the north of the river.

The military meeting of the Chu army ended like this. The so-called soldiers are very fast. After bringing the necessary supplies, Xiong Xian and his army quickly left the royal capital under the cover of night and rushed towards Qi.

In fact, at this time, the Wei army had power to attack Qi, and there were only a very small number of guards in the newly conquered Zheng State.

If the Chu army directly attacked Zheng at this time, it would definitely have an impact on the Wei army ahead, but it is hard to say that it would cause the Wei army to return to aid.

Compared with Qi, the mere Zheng land is not worth mentioning. If Qi land can be taken down, it would be nothing to throw away the relatively poor Zheng land.

It is precisely based on this that Xiong Xian rejected the choice to enter Zhengdi, but instead directly led the army to pounce on the main force of the Wei army.

They had to speed up because according to the latest information, the Wei army was not far from Linzi, Qi capital.

Xiong Xian was also puzzled by Tian Yuwen for a good deck of cards. He didn't know if the Wei people were too strong or the Qi people were too weak.

But there is one thing that Xiong Xian is consistent with the generals. They all believe that Qi Jun Tian Yuwen is not a match for Wei Hou.
