"Everyone, please take a look -" Zhao Hua's voice was slow and steady.

"Today, the Yue Kingdom is divided into four - King Yao, King Qian, King Lie and King Yu Fu..."

Xiong Wuliang concentrated on it and nodded secretly.

He had already learned about these basic situations from Zhao Hua.

"The northern part of the Yue Kingdom is the territory of the 'Shaking King', and its capital is [Langya]."

"The central part of the Yue Kingdom is the territory of the 'King Qian' and the 'King Lie'."

"'Yu Fujun's' territory is on the southeast coast of Yue State and is not bordering our country of Chu." Zhao Hua said.

Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows.

If I remember correctly, Zhao Hua said at the beginning that that Lao Shizi ‘Yu Fujun’ was the leader of the Yue Kingdom.

Judging from the map, Yu Fujun is in the southeast, while the Chu State's 150,000 troops are on the west side, enveloping the entire Yue State in the middle.

What is this called?

Cheese sandwiched between two buns!

Sure enough, Zhao Hua also smiled slightly: "Yu Fujun abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and his heart is towards the Great Chu - he can cooperate with our Great Chu to attack the 'King Qian' and the 'King Lie' from the southeast of Yue Kingdom!"

Including Qu Ping, all the generals in the tent nodded.

Qu Ping praised: "Thank you for your hard work, sir - to have such a great advantage, you owe a lot to me!"

Zhao Hua nodded, and did not refuse this compliment, but accepted it calmly: "Yu Fujun's envoy is in the camp. If General Zhu needs it, he can send it at any time."

"Oh?" Xiong Wuliang pricked up his ears. Unexpectedly, this leading party was quite active.

As soon as Chu's army was assembled, his envoy arrived.

Qu Ping's nose snorted imperceptibly. As a loyal general, he looked down upon this kind of leader. He believed that such people not only betrayed the country, but even insulted the dignity of the nobility.

But at this moment, there is certainly no reason to reject the Party that leads the way.

Qu Ping: "Please invite the envoy in."

Not long after, a Yue man came to the Chinese army camp.

This Yue man has dark skin, his face and neck are covered with large colorful embroidery patterns, he is wearing the clothes of the Central Plains, his dirty long hair is combed high, and a hairpin is inserted crookedly.

Take the crown from the monkey!

Everyone in the tent curled their lips in unison, their contempt clearly evident.

This envoy seemed to have no dignity at all. After entering the tent, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to Qu Ping, who was on the throne: "Your Majesty, Wangzhu, pays homage to General Zhu Zhuguo of Great Chu..."

Qu Ping's face was kind: "Here you come, give the envoy a seat."

The envoy was flattered, sat down carefully on the mat, and began to tell the details of the Yue Kingdom like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It turned out that 'King Qian' and 'King Lie' had formed an offensive and defensive alliance and gained the upper hand in the civil war in Yue!

The king of shakes in the north has been beaten to death by these two people who joined forces, and has basically no strength to fight anymore.

Yu Fujun in the south also struggled to hold on and retreated steadily.

This is why Yu Fujun is eager to be the leader, even at the expense of abandoning his dignity as a noble.

Because he will soon be unable to bear it!

The envoy raised his head, his face full of expectation: "I wonder when the Chu King's army will be able to advance?"

Qu Ping did not comment, but continued to ask: "How many troops do King Yao, King Qian, and King Lie have each? How many troops do you, Yu Fujun, have?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "Reporting to King Qian, the general of Zhuguo, King Lie's coalition forces number about 100,000, while our Yu Fujun only has 20,000..."

"As for the King of Shakers, he has been defeated long ago and can be completely ignored."

Qu Ping frowned.

Xiong Wuliang also understood.

The enemy's strength is not weak - with one hundred thousand enemy troops, it can be considered a tough battle.

Even if there are 20,000 people from Yu Fujun to help out, these 20,000 people will probably not be counted on.

Not to mention whether the offensive of 20,000 people will really share the pressure on the Chu army... Yu Fujun will probably not go out in full force to assist the Chu army.

If I were Yu Fujun, it would be best to hope that the coalition forces of King Qian and King Lie can defeat the Chu army and both sides will suffer losses.

In this way, Yu Fujun could reap the benefits. Not only did he no longer have to worry about his territory being invaded by kings Qian and Lie, he also no longer had to bow to Chu.

Seeing that the envoy could not say anything useful, Qu Ping waved his hand impatiently and signaled to the soldiers at the door to take the envoy away.

…

Qu Ping stood up and raised his eyebrows together.

There are still 100,000 enemy troops!

Moreover, the enemy is the defender and you are the attacker.

This battle was not as effortless as imagined before the war.

If we can't win in a short time... Qu Ping cursed in his heart, he really needs to put that logistics base in Quyang to use!

but……

This Xiong Wuliang, no matter how I look at it, I don’t think it’s reliable!

Quyang County is a small county town with a small population.

After the Danyang battle, his vitality was even more damaged.

How can we ensure that there are so many civilians who can provide enough supplies for the 150,000-strong army?

If there is a shortage of supplies, our 150,000 troops will starve on the front line...

The Vietnamese army was waiting for work, and then suddenly broke out...

Qu Ping couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Chu's army came out in full force, but they did not bring enough supplies of food and grass with them.

In fact, it was King Huai of Chu's fault in the end - that guy was indecisive, hesitating all the time, and did not start preparing supplies for the invasion as soon as possible.

It wasn't until Zhao Hua rushed back to Yingdu and confirmed that he could send troops that he hurriedly ordered Yin Zhaoju to start preparing food and wages for the army -

It only lasted twenty or thirty days.

As a result, Chu's army is currently underprepared. If the logistics and supplies cannot keep up, once the war turns into a tug-of-war and a war of attrition, there is a risk of running out of food at any time.

All the generals in the tent were all battle-hardened warriors, so naturally there was no mediocrity, and they all thought of this... The tent was silent for a while, and no one made a sound.

The leader Zuo on the side, Zhongli Junmi Fei, snorted just right!

"When the war begins, no one can predict what the situation will be like!"

"If we can't win in a short period of time, will the people in Quyang be enough?"

"I dare to ask Mr. Mi Liang, do you know what the daily expenses of the 150,000 Chu army are?"

"If it affects the frontline war, your Majesty will be blamed at that time. Lord Qu Yang, please don't shirk your responsibility!" Mi Fei said sadly.

Xiong Wuliang stood up slowly and leisurely.

"In your opinion, Lord Zhongli, what should we do?"

Mi Fei grinned. After all, Xiong Wuliang was just a young fool. He showed his timidity after just a few words of bluff.

His father, Xiong Wei, is a ruthless man, but that doesn't mean that little Xiong Wuliang is capable of anything.

After all, he is just a teenager.

Are you worthy of fighting me?

The generals in the tent on the side also looked sideways. Those who knew the inside story looked at Xiong Wuliang with contempt in their eyes.

Qu Ping also frowned. Xiong Wuliang was frightened by Zhongli Jun and Fei with just one sentence?

This is too rubbish!

What a tiger father and son!

Mi Fei smiled broadly and said: "In my opinion, you might as well send all the military supplies to me [Zhongli], and I, Zhongli, will dispatch civilians to ensure supplies for the army - compared to Quyang, I, Zhongli, are closer to the border.

, would have been a better choice.”

"If the war goes unfavorably at that time, the king will take the blame, and there will be no need for the right leader to take responsibility!"
