Although they came all the way from Yingdu, the Chu army did not stay on the bank of the fertile water for too long. In just a few days, they were already on their way home.

The reason why Chu State chose to withdraw its troops so happily this time was because of the words of Sun Qi, Sima Gong of Wei State, which made Yin Zhaoxixie, the commander of Chu State, see a second way besides going north.

Since the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and South Korea are now united in one place, Chu's road to the north is becoming more and more difficult, so why not turn around and head east.

After seeing this clearly, Zhao Xixie could not wait to return to Yingdu and report this strategy to King Xiong Liangfu of Chu as soon as possible.

So, following Zhao Xixie's order, the Chu army packed up and embarked on the road back to Yingdu.

On the plains, the sound of rushing water constantly sounded from the fertile water; from time to time, the noisy sound of the Chu army's march could be heard from among the roads.

At this moment, standing on the chariot parked by the Wo River, looking at the red Wei flag fluttering in the wind opposite, Zhao Xixie's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.

Although he had already decided to persuade the King of Chu to advance eastward instead of going north, Zhao Xixie knew very well that there was only a temporary peace between Chu and Wei.

One is the great Central Plains country that unites the Three Jin Dynasties, and the other is the vast overlord of the Southern Kingdom. Sooner or later in the future, Chu and Wei will break out into a war due to conflicts of interest.

At that time, whether the Chu army went north to defeat Wei, or whether the Wei army went south to invade Chu, I am afraid only time can give the answer to this question.

Just when Zhao Xixie was looking ahead and was speechless, a sound of war horses neighing appeared behind him. The person who came was none other than his grandson, Zhao Yang.

"Ling Yin, it's getting late, we should leave."

"good."

After answering softly, the wheels of the carriage under Zhao Xishi immediately started to roll and slowly moved towards the direction of Chu State.

On the occasion of parting, Zhao Xixie took one last look towards the north, but there was a somewhat complicated and inexplicable look in his eyes.

The news of the Chu army's withdrawal did not escape the eyes and ears of the Wei army's scouts. Just when smoke and dust were rising on the south bank of Wo River, a fast horse rushed into the Wei army's camp.

"Report..."

"Reporting to Sima, according to the investigation by frontline scouts, the Chu army has retreated."

Hearing the news reported by the Wei army messenger in front of him, all the Wei army generals in the Chinese army's tent were filled with joy. Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes focused on Gongsun Qi, who was sitting in the position of the general.

"Sima Zhen is a divine man." Gongsun Cuo, who was standing at the front of the queue on the right, stood up first and said in a deep voice with a face full of respect: "Just a few words can teach the Chu army to withdraw their troops.

This is no less generous than the great Confucian Zigong who saved Lu with his words."

In fact, there was an old grudge between Gongsun Cuo and Gongsun Qi. If Gongsun Qi had not persuaded the Marquis of Zhao and the Marquis of Han to withdraw his troops a year ago, Gongsun Cuo would not have defeated Zhuoze.

However, as Gongsun Qi accepted Wei Feng's invitation and became the Sima of Wei State, the hatred between the two people has been reduced a lot.

After that, Wei's war against Zhao and South Korea officially started. As the chief general of the Wei army's southern front, Gongsun Qi demonstrated his superb military talents to the fullest.

As battle reports arrived at the Wei army camp on the banks of the Huishui River, Gongsun Cuo's slight resentment towards Gongsun Qi was gradually replaced by respect.

But when he followed Gongsun Qi to the south on Wei Feng's order and witnessed with his own eyes how he persuaded Chu to withdraw his troops, Gongsun Cuo only had deep admiration in his heart.

Gongsun Cuo was the first to stand up. He followed Pang Juan on the other side but was not far behind. He immediately walked a few steps quickly and came to the front of Gongsun Qi.

"What General Gongsun said is true. This time our army was able to force the Chu army to evacuate without spending a single soldier. It was all because of Sima's proper response."

After listening to Gongsun Cuo's words and Pang Juan's praise, Gongsun Qi didn't have much of a proud look on his face, only a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"The two generals have spoken seriously." Looking at Gongsun Cuo and Pang Juan in front of him, Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Chu army retreated so easily this time is because the Chu army ordered Yin to see the fight between the two countries.

The consequences, I just took advantage of the situation."

"If the Chu State Commander Yin ignores the situation and insists on fighting with our army, then no matter how sharp my words are, it will be useless."

After some words, he looked around at the many Wei generals in the large tent. Gongsun Qi's voice was somewhat solemn, "Your Majesty ordered our army to go south in order to deal with the menacing Chu army. Now.

Since the Chu army has withdrawn, our army should also leave."

"Where are the generals?"

"The end will be here."

Looking at the solemn expressions on the faces of the Wei generals in front, he heard Gongsun Qi order in a deep voice: "Send the order to the entire army..."

"Return to Anyi!"

"Here."

…

When Gongsun Qi's order was conveyed to every Wei soldier layer by layer, the 50,000 Wei army immediately took action.

Just when the Wei army was preparing to return to the capital, a war horse ran out of the camp and galloped towards Anyi in the northwest.

After crossing the beam, crossing the river, and passing through the Zhi Pass, the figure of the war horse finally appeared in Anyi City.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news..."

In the main hall, Wei Feng, who had just returned to the capital not long ago, was handling government affairs, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Putting away the marked document in his hand and putting the ink pen aside, Wei Feng immediately raised his head and looked at the person coming.

"Xiangguo, what's the good news?"

Uncle Wei, Xianggong, who came quickly because of the joy in his heart, was trying to calm down his somewhat rapid breathing while reporting to Wei Feng in front of him.

"I report to your Majesty that Sima persuaded the Chu State Commander Yin Zhaoxixi to retreat without spending a single soldier. Now the Chu State Army is on its way back to the capital of Ying."

"oh!"

Upon hearing the news reported by Gongshu Cuo, Wei Feng's face was filled with surprise and doubt, and then was filled with joy.

Wei Feng quickly stood up from behind a few cases and quickly came to Gongshu Cuo. Wei Feng couldn't wait to take the battle report and read it.

As the seal characters entered his eyes one after another, the smile on Wei Feng's face could not be suppressed no matter what.

"color!"

"color!"

"color!"

…

Three cheers rang out in the hall. After Wei Feng walked excitedly for a moment, his eyes fell on Gongshu Cuo.

"Prime Minister, please pass on the order. On the day of the army's triumphant victory, I will personally lead all the officials from the court ten miles out of the city to greet them. They are all people who have made great contributions to our country, Wei."

"In addition, we can start to reward the meritorious soldiers in the war. Whether it is money, titles or land, I will not be stingy."

"I will leave these two matters to the prime minister's full authority."

When Wei Feng's voice fell, Gongshu Cuo did not hesitate at all, and immediately bowed forward with great solemnity.

"My lord, uncle Cui, I will obey your orders."
