Chapter 502 War between nations
The two countries of Xuan and Chu are bounded by Xiang River.
This is shocking news!
For Xiao Yuan, it is simply a timely help!
What he fears the most now is Xuan Lingyingxiang.
If the Xuan Army and the Ling Army also came to attack Qin, Xiao Yuan would have to return to his army!
But unexpectedly, the queen fulfilled her promise.
The generals on both sides also showed joy.
Zhao Mu immediately said, "King, if the Xuan army attacked Chu, how could the King of Chu still come to Shanyuguan? This is a huge restraint!"
"Yes, my master, I really didn't expect it." Shangguan Wenruo was also a little excited.
Xiao Yuan also had an uncontrollable surprise on his face, but just as he was about to speak, another sergeant ran in quickly.
He knelt on one knee, raised his hands high and said, "Report to the king, Xuanguo's letters."
"Come on, come on!"
When the letter was delivered, Xiao Yuan quickly unfolded and took a closer look:
"Brother Wang saw his name Ru Wu. Now Wu and Chu attacked Qin. For the matter of agreement, Wang Mei should send troops, but only restrained the Chu army. As for the Wu army, it was not something that Xuanguo could interfere. Brother Wang decided to seize it himself. But he advised him to return to the country, which was the best strategy..."
For King Xuan, I felt that Xiao Yuan shouldn't have taken such a risk.
But with this letter and the Xuan army had already attacked Chu, Xiao Yuan was somewhat calmer.
This queen won't be silly again, right?
She is very smart and scheming.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan felt a little more worried. He couldn't help but immediately picked up his pen and began to reply to King Xuan.
In the letter, his words were not so friendly. He couldn't help but praise King Xuan Bingxue for being smart, smart and generous, understanding the overall situation, and being so beautiful, and being the number one queen in the world...
His letters were delivered very quickly.
In just a few days, it was already in the hands of King Xuan.
After reading it, the latter smiled slightly with his red lips and said to himself: "How afraid are you of me lying to you..."
Seeing this, Wang Su couldn't help but ask: "King, is our army crossing the Xiangjiang River? Is it a real attack or a feint attack against Chu?"
"It depends on how the King of Chu decides and whether the Chu army has returned to aid."
King Xuan said: "If you don't return to help, it will happen that I will take advantage of the situation to occupy Xiangnan County."
Wang Su said again: "But if this is the case, will it be a suspicion of helping Qin?"
"So what?" King Xuan said with a hilarious feeling: "Only the Wu-Chu-Liang alliance is allowed, the Xuan State will not be allowed to have allies? If their goal is really achieved, the Three Kingdoms will be connected to the front line, and the Xuan State will still be in danger. When Qin State is at that time, it will be impossible to help."
Decisions will change as the situation changes.
After learning about the Xuan Army's actions, Xiao Yuan made a decision: "Immediately send an order to Nie Xing! Let him lead his army 50,000, traveling across Longshan at night!"
"At the same time, our main force will immediately launch a strong attack on Youzhou!"
Nie Xing is the general who stayed in Yiyang.
After receiving the king's order, he did not dare to delay, so he immediately secretly dispatched troops and began to go north with light equipment.
In the summer of the same year, the Second Central Plains War broke out.
Qin attacked Liang, and Huan wanted to advance westward.
Wu and Chu attacked Qin.
Xuan attacked Chu.
A large number of troops in Ling Kingdom also began to be mobilized frequently.
In the battle for hegemony of the seven countries, there were as many as six countries that directly participated in the war.
The traverse of millions of troops has once again plunged the Central Plains into an era of complete chaos.
For a time, the people in many places began to suffer from war.
Anyone knows that fighting is burning money, and the direct consequence of it is forced levy.
Especially in the place where wars rage, countless people began to be displaced and their families fled to refuge...
The war in Ningyang was the first to start.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan did not retreat, the King of Wu sneered and said, "The King of Qin refused to withdraw his troops, right? I really think that the current Qin army can block the attack of our Wu army with just the existing troops? Just so happened that he did not retreat, and fulfilled my wish and ordered Huangfu Ye to take down Shu!"
When the King of Chu learned that Xuan’s army crossed the river, he was furious and glared and said, "I don’t believe it today. King Xuan really dares to do this!"
But even though he said that, he did not dare to add troops to Shanyuguan.
On the side of Xuan State, King Xuan was relatively calm: "If Hanzhou does not retreat, it will continue to fight to the hinterland of Chu State, and it will occupy as much as the city it can."
On the Ling Kingdom, the Ling King thought about it for a long time: "Wait a little longer, wait for the situation to change..."
Qinzhou, Qinwang Mansion.
A group of Qin ministers were gathering together, and they were in a hurry.
Yan Ming, Minister of Rites, said: "Now that Wu Chu attacks Qin, the king has transferred all the main forces to Qin Liang's battlefield. What should I do..."
Zheng Shiwei, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "In terms of the existing troops in China, not many can be mobilized. The strongest combat power is also Yang Heng's unit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Changqing immediately said, "No! The king has already made clear orders. No matter what happens in the country, the Qinguan Guards will not be mobilized!"
"What should I do? You can't wait for the border to be 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."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give the order to the royal court." Someone urged.
As they spoke, people also looked at Liu Yuzhi.
This is where the government is located. Now the monarch Xiao Yuan is not in the country, so everything is naturally decided by the Prime Minister.
"Don't argue." Liu Yuzhi, who had not spoken, shook his head and said, "I have no military command."
"What? This..."
All the ministers were stunned.
Yes, the Qin Central Army wants to mobilize on a large scale, but you can't just say a word. Even the general cannot do it. It requires the king's order and military talisman.
After saying that, Liu Yuzhi looked around for another week and frowned slightly, "Why don't you see General Su Yi at such a critical moment?"
"This... I don't know much about it." Someone replied.
In the war situation, if the monarch is not there and there is no commander in charge, how can it be done!
Let a group of civil officials and ministers engaged in politics and people's livelihood discuss countermeasures here?
Moreover, most of the generals in the army who were used to fighting were taken away by Xiao Yuan, and only Su Yi and Lian Xiao stayed in the country.
Knowing that the negotiation was fruitless, Liu Yuzhi decisively left here and went directly to the General's Mansion.
At this time, Su Yi was not panicked at all. When he learned that the Prime Minister was visiting, he hurriedly went out in person and bent down and said:
"I've met the Prime Minister."
"General is polite." Liu Yuzhi returned the tribute. Just as he was about to speak, Su Yi turned sideways and stretched out his hand: "Prime Minister."
Liu Yuzhi looked at him and saw that he was calm and unrestrained, and couldn't help asking: "The situation is tense now, how can the general be like this?"
"On the surface, our country seems to be in danger of destruction, but in fact it is not. The prime minister doesn't have to worry." Su Yi smiled.
"How can I see it?" Liu Yuzhi asked.
Su Yi thought about it and did not answer this question directly, but changed his tone and said:
Chapter completed!
